Blazer was watching the fire giant go rampant on a huge screen.
âIs it possible?â
He asked Ra, who was watching it happily.
Blazer himself was someone who had served Ra all his life, yet he didnât know what Ra was thinking.
And it was the same now too.
He brainwashed his older brother to such an extent that he sent him to Jamie Welton. Of course, in the current situation, he had no intention of admitting it was vicious.
Even though they were blood relatives, they turned into enemies, and since they also tried to kill one another, the one who would live was the winner.
The fact that Yeomjae was like this must be because of karma. If he had been on the side of his brother from the start, wouldnât he have suffered less?
But that wasnât the problem.
âIf the Black Tower gets hit even a little bit, it would be a success, but it seems to be difficult.â
Yeomjae was strong.
Among the 12 newly made Gods by Ra, he could be considered the highest ranked.
But Jamie Welton was above that too.
As of now, he was the only one who could stand against his owner.
âRight. It will be difficult with Brotherâs strength.â
Ra also agreed with Blazer.
In the past, the one who was praised as the most special was Yeomjae.
Because he held the power of birth, he was a natural enemy of anything that destroyed things.
Nothing could knock him down. He would never lose.
He was the only hope for this land.
Numerous other adjectives could describe him.
There was also a time when Ra respected his eldest brother.
âHowever, if his power doesnât develop over time, it has to be weeded out.â
It was the power of birth that was famous for being invincible.
However, as the 12 Gods were victorious during the great war against the Nature Gods in the past, he didnât develop any further.
It was because Yeomjae served as a spy even while sacrificing himself for the future.
From there, the power of birth ended.
If it had been developed further, he would have become a very annoying wall for Ra.
That would have been the case because Yeomjae always kept Ra in check.
If they had had similar growth, then he wouldnât have come to a situation where he had such strength.
âMy foolish Brother.â
The fire giant set the forest on fire, and the screen went white enough to blind their eyes.
He mumbled as he leaned back against the backrest in a leisurely manner.
âAt least be a stepping stool for me.â
Jamie stood in the raging fire.
âThis is insane.â
He didnât expect that the dark warrior would actually be Yeomjae.
âIf this is going to happen, why did you have to leave?â
It was Yeomjae who existed to keep Ra in check, but now he has become a puppet in the hands of his nemesis.
If he had stayed by Jamieâs side, he wouldnât have become Raâs puppet.
Jamie didnât avoid the flames, which attacked his body.
It wasnât hot at all.
Actually, he had expected this.
This flame was the power that could give birth to anything new. So there was no way it would burn someone to death.
âA guy with such warm energyâŠ.â
Kuaaaaaa!!
Yeomjae screamed.
The entire air stirred in rage.
Inside his heart, he didnât want to fight him, but considering the power he had displayed until now, he couldnât help it.
This place would perish.
Jamie gritted his teeth and raised his sword again.
âI will bring you to your senses somehow.â
Yeomjae was not an opponent who could be defeated by taking things lightly.
His power was a natural enemy to Jamie, who held âdestruction.â
No, it wasnât different from two opposing energies clashing.
âBirthâ was that kind of power. Then there was just one way to subdue Yeomjae.
âMake sure he will decrease his output and pressure him.â
Even the power of birth couldnât handle it.
âWhite.â
Beeeâ
Along with the light, a pure white pegasus with a horn on its forehead was summoned.
Jamie climbed on top of it and gently stroked its mane.
Beeeeâ
White seemed to be in a good mood, making a short tour and moving its legs.
Jamie told White.
âI will go full force from the start.â
The fire giant began to burn the forest, and Jamie held Balisada high.
He had awakened a new power while he was fighting Diablo inside that hidden world.
[Stellar Fusion]
A sharp sword pierced White.
Heeeeing!!
White screamed a little, and then a strong light began to emit from it.
âDisplay justice with light.â
Jamie grabbed the white sword that was floating in front of him. He could feel the warmth going around his body.
-A new power has been detected. The number of stars has increased significantly. The side effects of magi are alleviated.
âBlack.â
Kiiik!
Black, the small, one-eyed bat, was summoned at the same time. Originally, Black and White should have existed together, but due to the fight in the depths of the world, the power was completely split into two.
So it could happen.
[Magi Fusion]
Pzzzk!!!
He held Satanâs âTirvingâ in his left hand, and the power of Black began to resonate.
âDisplay justice with darkness.â
He grabbed the black sword that floated in the air. The destructive power spread through his body.
The powers that could have never harmonized became one through Jamie as a medium.
Jamie trembled.
This great power made him shudder.
It was the moment when light and magi, the two forces that couldnât be mixed, became one.
[Peak Fusion]
The two swords were merged into one again.
Kwaak-!!
Storms of light and darkness that could easily take down the whole site of the Black Tower raged.
-Energy level 100%
-Exceeded 150%
-Exceeded 300%
-Exceeded 500%
-Exceeded 800%
-Exceeded 1000%
-⊠Unable to measure. More than this is dangerous!
Trinity went into overload.
It was a force that the man called Jamie Welton couldnât handle, and it surged through his body.
Seti judged that the current situation was dangerous. If he kept this up, there is a good chance his body would explode when he faints.
But Jamie didnât listen to Seti.
âA little moreâŠ!â
Feeling a sense of crisis, Yeomjae used an explosion again and attacked Jamie.
It was an explosion that destroyed the source, but it couldnât break through the aftermath of the Fiat Lux and magi that had become one.
White, black, and red currents rushed in all directions.
Yeomjae raised his fist high and turned the flame into a small dot.
The birth of everything came from an explosion. The universe was like that, and life was like that too.
Then Yeomjae threw the sphere of flame that had been compressed into a small dot at Jamie. However, even the aftermath of Jamieâs power couldnât destroy the small sphere.
âAll to nothing and nothing to all. Be born anew.â
Yeomjae spat out those words with a growl. Eventually, the small sphere of fire reached the area where Jamie was.
That one possessed ten times the power of the Peak Great Explosion that he had used earlier. 1
One could be assured that if it exploded, the aftermath would reach not only the Black Tower but even the World Tree.
Part of the northern continent would be completely blown away.
âNo. That cannot happen.â
Pshhh!
Trinity changed into a mysterious combination of Black and White.
-It has far exceeded the limit. It cannot hold on any longer.
âThat is enough.â
Jamie saw the small sphere of fire in front of him. Just by looking at it, he could feel that its power was beyond imagination.
If that thing exploded right in front of his nose, he wouldnât survive. However, he didnât worry about it.
âYeomjae⊠No, Shin Nong. Sorry.â
Jamie looked at the sword in his hand.
The fusion of the Holy Light and magi turned the sword into a bizarre blade.
It was the sign of âChaos.â
Birth and death. If there was something that encompassed them both, it was probably chaos.
And so,
âThis will not explode.â
Jamie cut the sphere of fire exactly in half with the Sword of Chaos.
Wheik!
The sphere burned and disappeared like a lie.
âYOU!!!!â
Yeomjae thrust his fiery fist at Jamie.
Kwaang!!!
Flames soared, and a large explosion engulfed the surrounding area in flames.
Two purple eyes glowed between them.
It was unknown whether they were the wings of an angel or of a devil.
As it pushed through the flames, Chaos pierced the body of the flame.
Yeomjaeâs body shuddered with a huge hole right in his chest.
Jamie, who appeared through the flames from behind, returned to his original form by canceling the Peak Fusion.
âKuak.â
His hand gave out, making Balisada fall out of his hand.
-Entering power-saving mode.
At the same time, Jamie fell down as Trinity was released. In the midst of the fall, Jamie saw the flame getting smaller and smaller.
The look on his face was so bitter that he couldnât try to put on a good expression.
âSorry. I couldnât control my strength.â
Yeomjae, who had returned to the form of a frail old man, knelt down with a hole in his chest.
At the end of that sight, Jamie lost consciousness.
Jamie opened his eyes.
Seeing that the day was still bright, it seemed that he hadnât been out for a long time.
He sighed and got up.
âKuak. What is with this muscle sorenessâŠ.â
The aftermath of Peak Fusion was beyond his thoughts.
From head to toe, there was no part of his body that didnât throb.
It has been a long time since he felt such a pain in his musclesâmaybe when he first learned the sword. Jamie stood up with difficulty and moved to where Yeomjae was.
His muscles screamed every time he moved his body, but that wasnât a huge deal.
âShin Nong?â
As he arrived at where Yeomjae was, Jamie looked around. He was there earlier, but he disappeared.
He thought that Yeomjae must have died because his chest had been pierced, but he still seemed to be alive.
âIf his brainwashing isnât solvedâŠâ
If he wasnât dead after being inflicted with a significant number of fatal wounds and was still Raâs puppet, the Black Tower would be in danger.
Jamie tried to move quickly to find him right away.
âKuak. This damned situation.â
However, his body, which he had used far beyond the limit of his power, couldnât generate mana.
Now, he was just a helpless human being.
Still thinking he had to find him, he tried to force himself to move, but his body had taken more damage than he could bear, so he fell to the ground.
âMove, my bodyâŠ!â
He didnât even have to use Peak Great Explosion. One side of the Black Tower would have been blown away with just one explosion. If the Black Tower was blown away, the northern part would become vulnerable, and it would become Raâs hunting ground.
It would be impossible to stop him if he continued to stay in this condition.
âFor what reason are you struggling this much?â
It was then.
Jamie heard the voice of an old man from behind, and he hurriedly turned his head to see Yeomjae standing there.
âShin Nong, you⊠Are you alright?â
âAs you can see.â
Yeomjae smiled.
âMy head is clear. It was a bit confusing for a while, so I felt pretty dazed. I have lived thanks to you.â
âHaaa.â
After confirming that he was back to normal, Jamie let out a sigh of relief and laid down.
He no longer felt the need to get up.
Yeomjae smiled at him.
âYou have reached a higher stage than then.â
âIâm still far away.â
âRight. You are not there yet. You cannot defeat Ra with such power now.â
Jamie stuck out his tongue at his determined voice.
âYou donât have to be this blunt, right?â
âHuhu. I would like to put it positively, but after I went separate ways with you, I tried to kill Ra, and as you can see, I ended up becoming his toy.â
âWhat are you trying to say?â
âThe point is, I have been fighting Ra lately, just like how I fought you today.â
That meant that it was possible for him to make an objective comparison.
âIt is still difficult. It is because Ra is higher than the stage you have stepped into.â
â⊠That monstrous bastard.â
Peak Fusion was the final card Jamie could use with all his strength.
He might be able to go past that in the future, but for now, there was no other way.
And yet, he needed a lot of time to do that.
âStill, you are doing better than before.â
âYou call that being optimistic?â
âKuek. That too. Let me sit next to you.â
Yeomjae laughed in a teasing manner and sat down next to Jamie.
He was an old man who lived in nature.
Yeomjae spoke, feeling the forest wind blow gently.
âThere is a way to confront Ra.â
âWhat is all this now?â
Jamie looked puzzled.
Yeomjae smiled and said,
âWould you like to listen?â
ED/N: The Peak Great Explosion is Yeomjaeâs, while Peak Fusion is Jamieâs.
