The Third Annihilation Technique.

This technique, imbued with the attribute of fire, was something Seong Jihan hadnt mastered in his past life.

Although he once remembered it vividly, at some point he suddenly couldnt recall the name of the third Annihilation Technique.

Upon touching the blue flame, the memory swiftly returned.

The thirds name is Return of the Light.

Return of the Light.

This term is commonly used to describe a state where a person momentarily regains vitality just before death.

An unexpected name to be part of the Annihilation Techniques.

Sophias Constellation, Pythia, mentioned that the third power is closely linked with holy fire but now that I know the name, it seems even less related.

The white flame, holy fire.

The fourth Martial Gods disciple, Pythia, had transferred the holy fire to Sophia suggesting that the end-phase implementation was related to the third power.

However, the third power Seong Jihan recalled seemed barely related to the apocalypse.

[Annihilation Technique? What a grand name. Whats it about?]

There is such a thing.

Seong Jihan casually responded to the Shadow Queen, who reacted to his words.

Then he pondered over how to utilize the Return of the Light of the Annihilation Technique.

The power bestowed by the Martial God, ignites the force with the power of fire, then reverses the flow of power. Now, I have the Martial Soul instead of force In my current state, I can certainly use Return of the Light as long as I know how

In his previous life, Seong Jihan couldnt ignite all force into fire, thus never utilized Return of the Light.

But now, not only did Seong Jihan possess Martial Soul, which was superior to force, but also had the required stats, making the use of Return of the Light possible if he knew the method.

Of course, he didnt know where it might be useful.

Lets try it.

Compelled by touching the blue flame and recalling the technique.

He was certain there was a connection with Return of the Light.

Fundamental Divine Arts, Annihilation Gods Secret Return of the Light

Sssssss

Seong Jihans skin momentarily flushed red as the usual flow of fire energy reversed.

In terms of method, Return of the Light was instantly successful.

For Seong Jihan, who had managed even the final Annihilation Technique, Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit, to the application stage, the third was effortlessly accomplished.

However,

Whats the effect?

Perhaps because he wasnt on the brink of death, Seong Jihan felt no tangible effect.

It seemed no more than just circulating fire energy once around.

Therefore, he wondered whether his understanding of the technique was incorrect.

Whoosh

[Oh? The fire is extinguishing]

The blue flames, which persisted despite the Destruction Code due to their status as permanently preserved data, suddenly weakened upon using Return of the Light.

Then,

[The lock has been released.]

[Would you like to delete the data?]

[Data can be accessed before deletion.]

Letters floated above the blue flames.

It seems you must first view before deletion.

[Would you like to access the data?]

Yes.

Upon Seong Jihans response.

Whoosh!

The flame expanded rapidly, engulfing him completely.

* * *

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Drum sounds?

The first thing Seong Jihan heard after being absorbed by the flame was the sound of a large drum.

Along with it, his vision gradually brightened.

What came into Seong Jihans view were large crosses densely packed together. There, beings much larger than humans were hanging with their hands and feet tied.

Is this the data I accessed?

Whisk!

While Seong Jihan pondered, his body moved on its own.

Turning around, he faced tiered platforms and below, countless people observing him.

Their attire fit more an ancient era than the modern one.

Waaaaah!

Kill! Kill!

Slay the vile god!

The crowd cheered, raising spears and swords high, united in their call to kill the vile god.

Seemingly, the god they referred to seemed to be the giants hanging on the crosses.

Swoosh!

In response to the crowds cheers, Seong Jihans body raised its hand.

Clearly, this body was acting entirely without Seong Jihans will.

[Where is this? I cant use any power.]

Who knows.

[Have you been possessed?]

Im still unsure. Well need to observe more.

[You.youre quite calm about this.]

The Shadow Queen, also engulfed by the flames with Seong Jihan, held significant alertness to the current situation, unlike him, since she couldnt read the words data access.

[Ill try to find a way out.]

While the Shadow Queen pondered alone, Seong Jihan watched the movements of the body he was inhabiting.

Responding to the crowds cheers.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Suddenly, the ground began to vibrate, prompting him to look beyond the crowd.

A colossal entity slowly approached.

[Isnt that the iron giant you summoned? Its magnitudes larger.]

Approaching the platform was the enlarged steel giant, Enkidu, with a man sitting cross-legged on its shoulder.

A middle-aged man with a beard.

It was a face known to Seong Jihan through Pythia.

Gilgamesh.

The King!

The King has arrived!

Upon his arrival, everyone prostrated, offering respects.

Their demeanor towards Gilgamesh was a blend of awe and fear.

This time, we captured seven gods.

Gilgamesh stood from Enkidus shoulder, extending his hand forward.

Executioner. Lower the spear.

Sssssss

Darkness rose behind Gilgamesh, casting a vast shadow.

A shadow as large as Enkidus head.

That is

Seong Jihans eyes widened.

The shadow was too immense to be merely Gilgameshs.

It was a distinct entity.

Moreover, it gave off a familiar sensation.

As Seong Jihan pondered the source of that familiarity.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Seven spears flew from the shadow, embedding in front of the body Seong Jihan inhabited.

Blood Clan. Take up the spear and prepare.

At those words, the inhabited body bowed towards Gilgamesh before picking up one of the spears.

To the naked eye, it was just an ordinary spear.

However, once held, Blood swirled around the spear shaft, with text rising.

[Destruction Code Activation]

The spear, through an interaction with the possessed body, displayed the Destruction Code.

Seong Jihan, observing the bodys use of power, was inwardly astounded.

Far more effortlessly than when I activated the code.

An experience only recognizable in this possessed state.

Seong Jihan decided to ignore Gilgamesh and the immense shadow behind him for now, focusing solely here.

The executioner, also known as blood clan, was inscribing the code on the spear more efficiently than Seong Jihan.

Additionally.

The Destruction Code written on the spear doesnt activate on the spear itself.

While Seong Jihans codes immediately erased whatever they were written on, the possessed bodys code left the spear intact as a conduit.

Wondering how their approach differed.

Seong Jihan concentrated all his attention here.

The shadow-gifted spear itself is exceptional but the method also clearly differs. It uses ones own blood as a medium.

As Seong Jihan learned about the code inscriptions from the possessed body.

[Humans using codes is unthinkable.]

[This cannot be. You have betrayed your kind.]

Upon witnessing the Executioner use the Destruction Code, the giants tied to the cross uniformly flashed red in their eyes.

Their focused gaze was on Gilgamesh.

Or more precisely, the immense shadow behind him.

And.

Sssssss

From Gilgameshs shadow, a semi-circle of flame formed.

Initially unclear what it represented.

[You dare mock us?!]

[An unfinished inferior dares defy us!]

[Even in the end, you dare rebel!]

Watching the giants uproar, Seong Jihan realized they perceived it as a taunt.

As he amusedly watched the giants thrash, Gilgamesh commanded.

Proceed with the execution.

With a swift motion, Seong Jihan, in possession, hurled the spear.

The spear, etched with the Destruction Code, pierced the giants.

[I cant believe the Destruction truly activated]

The pierced giants sprayed blood in all directions, gradually vanishing one by one.

Waaaaah!

The vile god finally dies!

The crowd celebrated the death of the giants as vile gods, but as the blood made contact with the ground.

Sssssss

Flames erupted, causing the cheering crowd to flinch.

Indeed, gods blood

B, be careful. Dont let the blood of the god touch you!

But, isnt that person fine?

Hes the executioner! Since hes sentenced to death, its fine for him to touch the blood!

As the people said.

Even though blood splashed over the possessed body, igniting flames.

Whoosh

Red mist rose from his body, extinguishing everything shortly.

The smoky aura reminiscent of Longinuss blood energy.

I cant replicate this.

Unlike when Seong Jihan took notes on the code inscription, he instantly concluded the blood energy manipulation was beyond him.

This was a method unique to this existence.

[Traitor. The Administrator will judge you!]

As the seventh giant cursed before vanishing, Gilgamesh sneered.

Huh. For beings who reigned as gods, they are truly foolish. Not realizing the Administrator they cry for is on our side. Isnt that so?

Sssssss

Responding to Gilgameshs question, the immense shadow behind him rose, nodding.

[For now, thats true.]

Even from a distance, the voice was clear.

Seong Jihan, upon hearing it, identified the earlier familiarity.

Could that shadow be the Martial God?

The wandering Martial God.

His voice and the one from the shadow matched perfectly.

The Martial God. There is indeed an inseparable link of him with Gilgamesh

As Seong Jihan organized his thoughts.

The world turned dark and within the dark world, a message arose.

[Data viewing has concluded.]

[Would you like to delete the permanent data?]

Permanent data.

The information here was of substantial value to Seong Jihan.

If kept, it might turn into another meteor, impacting the ground once more.

Having gleaned much from the recent viewing.

Seong Jihan decided to erase the data.

Delete it.

Upon his statement.

[Are you sure you want to delete the permanent data?]

A confirmation message appeared.

Yes.

With Seong Jihans response, the message faded, and lingered for a while.

After a few moments in the dark world with only a white dot, another message appeared.

[The data has been deleted.]

[The last survivor of the Blood Clan, Longinus, data will be deleted.]

[The Spear of the Blood Clan will be inherited.]

Swoosh!

Before Seong Jihan, a long wooden spear shaft materialized.

* * *

The star of the Martial God, Tuseong.

Sssssss!

A massive tower on one side of the star split in half.

Gilgamesh.

Above the split tower.

An elder wielding a sword gazed coldly down upon the divided top with icy eyes.

In the gap of the highest floor.

Gilgamesh was looking up at Dongbang sak.

Dongbang sak, what is this? Are you showing off your power?

What are you thinking? Rebelling against the Martial God?

I dont understand what youre saying.

Longinus died. Your Enkidu played a crucial role.

Is that so What a pity. But hell revive, wont he?

No, Seong Jihan completely eradicated him.

At those words, Gilgamesh displayed a smirk.

Seong Jihan.

Hes doing better than expected.

But only briefly.

Really?? Is Longinus truly dead?

Yes Seong Jihan extinguished him. Even Longinuss spear has been inherited.

What?

Upon Dongbang saks final words.

The smiling Gilgameshs face turned ice-cold.
