My Range is One Million

Chapter 298: A beast caught in a trap

#1

Bang!!! Boom!

The sky was turned upside down and the earth rose up in the midst of a chain of explosions along with the intersecting black and red streaks of light. Jaehwang was fighting a vicious struggle.

“Ugh!!”

“Try to hold out!”

Ruler, who appeared behind Jaehwang’s back as he shot away, whispered in his ear. Jaehwang’s blade-like elbow attack and a red arrow following him were aimed at him, but the arrow snapped and was smashed in Ruler’s hand.

“Is this all you’ve got?” Ruler became completely different.

It wasn’t simply because he was speeding up or because he was getting stronger. Previously, he would have coordinated the battle to some extent by repeating his advances and retreats but now, he was pushing it as if he didn’t care about anything anymore. In addition, his body still had holes.

A little black energy around Jaehwang not only upset his stomach but it is hindering his regeneration.

POW!

“Awk!”

“Hahaha!”

Jaehwang, who was beaten on the back, turned around and stretched his foot to attack, but Ruler set off a bull’s-eye and grabbed his foot. Jaehwang screamed as a black thunderbolt went through his whole body and...

CRACK!

Jaehwang’s legs were horrifyingly twisted with the sound of bone and muscle breaking in. Ruler, holding on to his leg in silence, threw him straight to the ground like a cannonball.

BAM!

Zaap....

A torrent of black energy clumped into Ruler’s hands. The atmosphere warmed up to reflect the amount of force gathering around it. Soon, it turned into a long window.

“Take this, too!”

Without hesitation, Ruler threw it into the land where Jaehwang was buried. There was no sound at the moment of impact. The amount of pressure that occurred at the moment created a vacuum and swallowed it up. The moment it hit, a huge explosion soared through the sky.

Currrrrr...

Standing in the air, Ruler looked down with an arrogant expression. After the dust had been lifted, what appeared was Jaehwang who fell down and was in a mess.

There was a black hole next to him, indicating that he might have avoided it at the last second, but that alone was serious enough.

The transformation that he achieved through the merge of two gods had also been lifted. His abdomen that was almost healed up was bleeding once more, and his leg was damaged beyond recognition.

“Hahahahaha!”

Ruler grabbed his waist and burst into a frenzy of laughter. Finally, Ruler had defeated the strongest man on Earth. Though he had been in the position of God and the ruler of the Dark Earth for eternity, his essence was that of a war machine that constantly craved war and battle. After a long cry as the winner, he soon breathed a low sigh.

“Whoo, but all the plans have come to naught.” He consumed too much of his own power. Thanks to him using all the energy he had saved for conquering the Earth, he had to go back to the Dark Earth and begin saving his strength again for a while. The battle was won, but its grand meaning was lost. If this was what the earth’s strongest man was aiming for, it would be a success. With his eyes twitching, he raised his hand. “Your prize is, I’ll make sure you cease to exist.”

Again, he pulled out a long window made of black energy and pointed it at Jaehwang, who was crumpled on the ground like tissue. With this one shot, he’s done. It’s time for him to throw his spear without hesitation.

“You don’t think it’s over already, do you?”

Looking as if nothing had happened, Ruler stopped his hand as he watched Jaehwang wriggle up. The wounds on his body were healed as if time had gone backward. Was that all? No, he became more powerful than before.

“You... were hiding your power.”

#2

This was one of the myths that Goongi had.

The power to hide the truth[SS Class]

It’s a myth that Goongi mainly uses when Jaehwang needs to determine the authenticity of other people’s words. Although the SS myth was used as a lie detector, the true ability of this myth was to cover up reality itself. To elaborate it further, it was not simply to deceive the public eye, but to deceive the laws of cause and effect in the world. Of course, its limits were clear. The degree of truth that would be rewritten must still be related to the user just like now.

Ruler was also a god, so he quickly saw what happened to Jaehwang, but he shook up his impression because he knew what it meant.

“What’s your intention?” Ruler stopped his attack.

He didn’t lose the will to fight. Although his opponent recovered by the power of God, he confirmed that Jaehwang’s inner strength had decreased a lot. Ruler had no doubt that it would be his victory in the end, but he had to check out the reality of the nervousness he’s been having throughout this battle.

“What intention?” Jaehwang said, wiping the blood around his mouth at Ruler’s question.

“The reason why you’re dragging out this fight. Don’t tell me you didn’t think I’d be stuck on this planet if the dimension was closed?”

Jaehwang grinned at his words. As much as Ruler knows Jaehwang, Jaehwang knows Ruler as well. Ruler was almost his equal or more in terms of their divinity. Jaehwang was able to grasp with his godly sense that Ruler could leap beyond dimensions. Although it was impossible now because he had consumed a great deal of energy, if the Earth was to be taken by Ruler himself, it would be like releasing a lion among the sheep. Nevertheless, there was another reason why Jaehwang was so slow...

...and there was no reason for him to say it to his enemy.

Words were unnecessary in battle, what matters the most would be who lives and who dies.

“Are you asking for an answer?” Jaehwang slowly took a fighter’s position.

“Do you still think you can beat me?” Ruler said with a smirk.

With that said, Ruler’s hand extended towards Jaehwang. At the same time, the great pressure came down on him! The ground with a radius of five meters sank around where Jaehwang stood.

“I’ve been fighting for thousands of years, and I’ve been absorbing a lot of abilities to the point that I can no longer remember them. The power they had is so much that even I don’t want to remember it... and if I put my mind to it...”

Shooo....

“Ugh...”

Jaehwang knelt down and his hands touched the ground. It’s a humiliating display, but the pressure was just too much to take. Dozens of black arrows were made around Ruler’s body, perhaps it was not enough.

“I can copy whatever I want...”

“Ugh...” Jaehwang swallowed a groan as he floated around Ruler’s body and looked at the arrows aiming at him.

Ruler looked at him with ease and said, “What you’re waiting for was just one of my questions. No, I don’t want to know that anymore.”

Ruler thought he should finish him now. “Just die...”

Ruler, who was about to make a final gesture towards Jaehwang, turned his head and shouted, “Who are you?”

BAM!!!!!

“AWK!”

But he flew away without a final word and was thrown into a hard granite rock.

In an instant, several rocks were smashed and scattered in all directions

“Awk... What the...” Ruler staggered up.

He couldn’t control himself because of the shocking attack he just got. His opponent’s attack was pure physical force without the power of God or man. The problem was that his opponent’s physical force was so powerful that that attack broke through dozens of layers of defense systems around Ruler’s body.

He looked up at the being that beat him and found that there was a girl standing there. With her short silvery short hair, the white-skinned woman looked at him and showed him her slender arms. Ruler could not just imagine how it could produce that amount of strength.

“Who are you!”

At Ruler’s cry, she smiled as she stood Jaehwang, who had fallen to the ground.

“My name is Babel.”

“You think I’m asking that?! How could you exist?!” Ruler shouted.

He studied the earth for a long time, he had a few ways for him to do so. His authority, which went beyond dimensions, collected some information and captured the people who invaded the Dark Earth. There was no way for him to not know her. The presence of such a powerful force came out of nowhere.

“Of course.” Babel nodded.

“What?”

“I’m from Dark Earth.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You think it doesn’t make sense? I don’t think that’s what you should say... I’m so sad that you forgot about me.”

“Babel?”

Ruler noted a word that crossed his mind. It’s a word that is so old that it now exists deep in his memory. But Ruler’s brain, which became clear just by thinking of the word, had figured out the whole situation.

“Wow, was that what you were waiting for? Wow. That’s a good one.” He became unsure of his victory even though he considered using all of his power. The risk was just too high, so he decided to fly straight towards the gate leading back to the Dark Earth. He needed to get his strength back, but...

“Huh...”

He jumped into the translucent expanse of the Dark Earth gate, but his body was still on Earth. Jaehwang, who staggered from his seat as Ruler looked at the gate with confused eyes, said, “I already closed the Gate while I was fighting you.”

Ruler’s eyes widened at Jaehwang’s words. It seemed incredible that he didn’t notice it.

Jaehwang also had a hard time trying to deceive him. It would have been quite embarrassing if Ruler had dug into why the Dark Earth monster didn’t come out of the gate.

“Did you ask me why I was dragging out the time?”

“...” Ruler didn’t open his mouth at Jaehwang’s words. No, he didn’t have to listen to his answer.

Jaehwang took out the Arrow from Infinity Storage and drove it to the ground.

SWOOSH!

The red light that rose from the two objects met the blue and black light that rose from all over the mountain as if it had been waiting for this time to become one.

Woosh...

And from the sky where the three lights were joined, golden westerlies soon began to envelop the mountain.

“I needed a trap to make sure I got your ass. Phew... Baek Lin is a little late.”

“Ugh...”

For a moment, Ruler realized that all the energy that he had been pouring in so far had been broken.

Its main reason was now the golden curtain that surrounded the whole mountain...

The three families that defend the fortress...

An ancient earthquake that fell asleep on Mount Baekdu, which was activated by the power of Martial Arts House, Lord Baek’s Family, and the Dragon Gods House, intensified the millennium and appeared here, beginning to pressure Ruler, the ruler of Dark Earth.

“Nom!!!”

Black energy gushed out of Ruler’s body. The energy was more intense than ever before, but Jaehwang was not afraid. That was just a beast’s struggle to get out of the trap. The myth of the unity of the two gods had resurfaced in Jaehwang’s body. He also intended to deal with Ruler with all his heart and soul from now on.

‘It’s over now.’

‘Yeah.’

‘Let’s cheer up until the end.’

‘Of course! It’s time to pay for what we’ve been through!’

Listening to the energetic voice of Goongi, his eternal half, Jaehwang looked at Ruler. It was now the time to end it all.

“Ha!”
