D.I.O

Chapter 229

Love love humans, son love humans. We are small and weak and make mistakes but you must not forget that you are also human. Dont become jaded.

What? What bullshit is this crazy bitch talking about?

As Genichi nodded exasperatedly, the man behind Hye-ran raised his sledgehammer again. Seyoung ground his teeth.

If you do anything to harm my mother I swear.

Seyoungs eyes flashed with chilling killing intent, his clenched fists filled with blood.

I will kill you and anyone related to you.

Intense killing intent emanated from Seyoung. Even though he couldnt use mana, the other men in the car couldnt help but shake in fear.

However, Kenichi had lived a fierce life of his own and felt relatively safe due to the distance between him and Seyoung. Thus, he casually nodded with a firm expression instead of being frightened by Seyoungs spirit. Seyoung groaned.

No. Dont do it.

Break her hand.

Dont!

Crack!

The sledgehammer swung down and smashed Hye-rans hand. With the terrible sound of crushed bones, Hye-rans body trembled as if struck by lightning.

You! You son of a bitch! I will kill you! You your family the organization that protects you! I will destroy your country!

Hahaha! Could you really do that, Arthur Pendragon, the white knight of justice? Anyway, we are ready to die at any time for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire. Now, as for this bitch.

After saying this, Genichis expression hardened as he looked at Hye-ran. However, the seasoned yakuza soon calmed down and looked at the screen again.

Damn it! How did this happen? It was only one shot! Genichi thought.

While gritting his teeth, Genichi went back to eating the food on the table and tried to regain his composure. He was mulling over what he should say next. Meanwhile, Seyoung looked at Hye-ran blankly as if any thought in his mind had utterly vanished.

Sometimes, his excellent intuition made him realize things he didnt want to know.

Oops, she seems to have lost consciousness, Genichi commented.

Though he was watching through a television screen, Seyoung could tell the truth.

Okay, then, lets resume our conversation. Tell me how to connect with the Noblesse.

Genichi spoke with a calm attitude, like nothing was wrong. It was a natural mannerism that he learned from living a precarious criminal life.

However, Seyoung knew.

The string that bound him to this world

The reason he loved the world

Had now been disconnected.

Mother, mother, how.

Seyoungs eyes grew vacant. The ground that firmly supported him had collapsed.

Why do you look as if the whole world is collapsing? If you dont open your mouth immediately and tell me what I want to know, this ladys other hand will-

How am I supposed to love this disgusting human being?

Boom!

Seyoungs eyes lit up. Genichi shouted, startled by the unnatural phenomenon.

Finish him!

Bam! Bam!

A handgun pre-installed in the car opened fire. From the moment Seyoung entered the vehicle, this gun had been pointed directly at him.

Though considerable care was taken when installing the hidden weapon, Seyoung was always aware of its existence.

Seyoung had been paying constant attention to the handgun to evade any bullets fired. However, at this moment, he didnt have to dodge. Instead, the bullet ricocheted off of him.

W-what? But he hasnt manifested!

At Genichis screams, Seyoung closed his eyes. His sensory sphere was widening at a terrifying pace, and numerous theories he had not realized or understood previously were violently entering his head in their complete comprehensive form.

Arthur knew he was changing. All the spiritual energy in the world was pouring towards him. The path of the great sword, something he struggled to even glimpse at until now, had instantly opened for him.

However-

Ah, this is wrong.

It was impossible to transcend after going crazy with anger. The transcendent realm was only achievable by realizing the principles of the world with a free spirit devoid of emotion. Even if madness and rage reached a peak and forcefully opened the door, in the end, there would only be destruction, not an epiphany and transcendence.

However, Seyoung was an Irregular, one of the few mutant geniuses in the entire universe. Even if he couldnt transcend, he understood the ability of the upper level, and he was able to adapt to it the moment he opened the door. However, after entering this evil path, his spirit would become permanently twisted and suffer severe, irreversible damage.

Yet, even so.

Seyoung opened his eyes as light poured out from them.

Body of Light.

Whoosh!

Seyoungs entire body turned into light. He knew his destination. By simply standing still, he could sense every being within a 50-kilometer radius.

Damn it! Whats happening?! I was planning on using this bitch for so many things How did she croak after one blow? And why has the video feed been cut off?

I-I dont know, sir. All of a sudden, it became bright, and then it went black huh?

The man holding the sledgehammer flinched at Genichis enraged appearance and retrieved a handgun from his belt. Seyoung abruptly appeared in a flash of light, frightening the man, but before he could pull the trigger, a beam of light burst out and passed through him.

Flash!

The beam pierced the mans neck. Due to the high-temperature energy held within the light, the wounds surface was singed and burned, so the henchmans blood didnt splatter.

W-what, how are you? How did you get here? The distance between where you were to here.

Seyoung murmured after seeing Genichis confused, stuttering appearance.

Light travels around the Earth seven and a half times in one second.

Physical distance meant nothing to Arthur. Now that it was possible to turn his entire body into photons, he could fly and appear anywhere on Earth instantly.

What the hell does that mean-

Genichi questioned the incomprehensible situation, but before he could continue, Seyoung cut his throat. After that, Seyoung didnt even look at Genichis corpse and went straight to Hye-ran, who was lying on the ground.

Mother.

Seyoung hugged Hye-rans body. Her heart had already stopped beating.

The moment the sledgehammer crushed her hand, she was in so much pain that she had a heart attack. She had been cured of leukemia, and, considering that she had regained her health to some extent, this form of death seemed infuriatingly cruel.

Mother.

Tears of blood flowed from Arthurs eyes. With his mothers corpse in his arms, Arthur turned around.

His face, which used to always be adorned with a gentle smile, was deadly cold.

I will seek revenge on the world that hurt you.

And that day, Japan faced the most formidable and worst enemy imaginable.

*** Reunion & Conspiracy ***

Eunhye woke up about two days after the missions completion.

Do you feel alright?

Huh? Ah, Im okay but my head?

After waking in her bed, Eunhye was startled to find that her hair had grown long enough to reach her waist.

This was weird because she always kept her hair short to avoid discomfort when moving around.

How long have I been sleeping?

In real life, its been about 42 hours. Do you remember anything?

I dont remember anything in particular.

Eunhye tried to recall, but she couldnt remember a single thing. All she could recall was how her combined space-collapsing spells caused the dimension to collapse suddenly, sucking her into a void. Then, she regained consciousness to find the Grand Masters of DIOs Holy Lands staring back at her. They asked her some questions and conducted some basic research before sending her back to her reality with the mission reward.

Anyway, Im glad. I thought something terrible had happened to you.

Yongno spoke calmly, but the truth was that he didnt get a wink of sleep as he waited by Eunhyes bedside the entire time. Over the past few days, he had even halted his research; he hadnt taken a break from his research ever since he started.

What about the reward?

Yongno quickly figured out what Eunhyes question meant after she got up from bed. He answered,

Ninety thousand gem points. And you?

Yongnos reward was enormous. Other users would have rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth if they heard such an astronomical number.

He had created a gap in Regrants posture after smashing his massive flying shuttle, Vimana, against him. Other than Eunhye, none of the other users had achieved this feat.

Compared to Yongnos reward, though, Eunhyes reward was even more overwhelming.
