Chapter 364 Sky Wings (2)
Team: HH, Yahiko, thursdays
Jeong-woo’s gaze was intense .
“What you’re saying about living again, it’s different from Brahm’s case, right?”
『Yeah . 』
Jeong-woo nodded .
『You know that my case is different from Brahm . I want to feel Sesha with my own hands . 』
Brahm was originally a god and temporarily created a body for himself in the lower world .
Although he used a Homunculus body, he had technically just moved from one vessel to another .
However, Jeong-woo was different .
He was originally human .
Even though he had his identity, of couse he would long for when he had blood and flesh .
Furthermore, Yeon-woo knew what Jeong-woo wanted .
‘He probably wants to age with them, since he hasn’t been able to . ’
Jeong-woo wanted to share warmth with Ananta and Sesha . He wanted to laugh and talk with them happily in the same time as them .
‘Since that was the happiness that Jeong-woo wished for . ’
The time when their mother, Yeon-woo, and Jeong-woo was the happiest–filled with laughter, although they were poor .
『Do you…… think it’s possible?』
Jeong-woo carefully glanced at Yeon-woo, unlike his usual carefree attitude . He knew how ridiculous the request he was making was .
No one had succeeded in it before . It was an event that occurred in legends or myths .
Summoning the soul of the dead or reviving one who had died recently were miracles that did happen rarely, but it had already been a long time since Jeong-woo had died, and his body was already burned and sccatered, so it was near impossible for him to be resurrected .
Furthermore, Jeong-woo’s soul was currently at the lowest condition it could be in, so even if he went to the Beyond, it was probably unlikely that he would be reincarnated .
‘The fact that he can bind souls and handle them is already a nonsensical Authority . ’
The sullen smile didn’t leave Jeong-woo’s mouth as he spoke his wish .
It was a miracle that he had left the pocket watch to come into the outside world . He was being greedy .
His pampered personality that he had grown out of had probably come out because he met his Hyung for the first time in a while .
But .
“……Maybe . ”
『Huh?』
Jeong-woo’s eyes widened .
『Possible? Really?』
Yeon-woo nodded .
“I’m not sure . There might be a way, or one could be created . ”
Yeon-woo tapped at the bracelet and fetter on his wrists and ankles .
Jeong-woo’s face stiffened . He had also heard of what the power Yeon-woo gained while he climbed the Tower was .
A being that he hadn’t even been able to imagine while he repeated the benefit, uncovering secrets of the Tower .
Yeon-woo was talking about borrowing the Black King’s Authority .
“The only options left in the Black King’s set is the pillory . And to get that……”
『You need Kynee, right?』
“Yeah . ”
『But Hades won’t give it to you easily . 』
Yeon-woo nodded .
“I need to distinguish myself in battle and receive it as a reward . ”
[Agares stares at you and your brother . ]
[Shock fills Agares’s face . ]
[Agares jumps around excitedly and screams . ]
[A message from Agares has arrived . ]
[Message: It’s come! Finally! Finally! You brothers! Now, accept……!]
[Agares’s messages have been blocked with the authority of other gods and demons . ]
『Why is Agares that bastard acting up like that from the morning?』
“Ignore him . He’s always like that . ”
[Agares has released the block with his authority . ]
[A message has arrived from Agares . ]
[Message: I have a……!]
[Messages from Agares had been blocked for a while on the authority of other gods and demons . ]
[The gods and demons vote about Agares’s case . ]
[The unanimous results of the vote had removed Agares of his ability to speak for a few days . ]
[Agares jumps around, saying he is wronged . ]
[Vimalacitra is interested in what you’ll do in Tartarus soon . ]
[Cernunnous blesses his spirit, who must be feeling tired from the rough environment of Tartarus . ]
[All gods of death watch you . ]
[All demons of death watch you . ]
[All gods of war hope you are victorious . ]
[All demons of death urge you for action . ]
……
『Anyways . 』
Jeong-woo shook his head at Agares, who was still greedy for him .
It seemed like he had something to say to him, but it was probably going to be useless like usual .
『I’ve been feeling it faintly, but there’s a ridiculous amount of them . 』
Looking at the gazes around Yeon-woo, he shook his head .
He had also received interest from multiple gods and demons and love calls from them as well, but he had never seen so many gods and demons with a player .
Considering how players were desperate to receive the attention of a lower god or demon, he was speechless .
The problem was it was the gods and demons who were desperate here .
There were easily 3,000 of them after a rough estimate .
『Just how many Authorities do you have?』
“Wait . ”
He opened a window and checked the number of his Authorities .
“3,702 . No, 3,703…… 3,704 . ”
『…… . 』
It seemed the number of his Authorities were raising by the second . Yeon-woo seemed to be accepting them nonchalantly, but Jeong-woo was sick of it .
『Aren’t you tired with all of them?』
“It’s tough . Thankfully, my body’s holding up . But……”
『It’ll be hard when you actually need to fight?』
Yeon-woo nodded . When there were about 900 Channelings connected to him, he could endure it with his Demonic Divine Dragon Body . He was able to catch Astraeus thanks to it .
But now, having four time as many Authorities, it was hard to describe what more he was going through .
The fact that the number of Authorities didn’t merely mean that he was connected to more Channelings .
He had the pressure of having to withstand more gazes, so it wasn’t just four times as many gazes, but way beyond that .
If he didn’t have the Demonic Divine Dragon Bod, or the level or his soul was lower, Yeon-woo’s identity would’ve been crushed by the presence of the supernaturals already .
He wouldn’t be able to help much if he went to war like this .
No, rather, he would be weaker than when he caught Astraeus, so he would be in danger .
『You won’t be able to distinguish yourself like this . 』
Yeon-woo nodded .
He had already decided on participating in the war .
Yeon-woo also wanted to resurrect Jeong-woo .
He didn’t want to speak with him for a few minutes or hours each day, but drink the entire night with him, or walk next to him even though they would fight . He wanted to give Jeong-woo the freedom of being able to walk around on his own .
Most of all, he wanted to see his precious niece, Sesha smiled brightly, along with Ananta waking up and being together with Jeong-woo .
But to do that, he needed to take care of everything he had, making them completely his own .
『The hardware is excellent and the software is nice too . But there’s too much of the good software that the functions are slowed down . 』
Jeong-woo clicked his tongue, accurately judging Yeon-woo’s condition . The hardware of Divine Draconic Body was outstanding . It was what Jeong-woo had hoped for all this time . Its limits were so deep that even the Tower couldn’t calculate them . But there were too many programs and software .
『It does seem like you’ll be able to calculate it with Dragon’s knowledge if you get used to it, but……』
“It’s not easy . ”
『Yeah . I can tell . 』
Jeong-woo scratched his head .
『And the skills from all the hidden pieces are just piled up in there . 』
After learning Aura, Yeon-woo had organized Heaven Wing Mana Control a bit, but he was still lacking . His other skills like Draconic Divine Eyes and Wind Path far exceeded it .
『So that’s why you need my Sky Wings . . 』
“Yeah, exactly . ”
Yeon-woo knew his body more detailedly than what Jeong-woo knew, and he judged that there was only one solution to all of it .
He needed something to manage everything .
Something that would efficiently organize the softwares that all claimned they were the best into a system and automatically adjust the data calculations and processes . An operating system .
In other words, he needed an automatic system that could efficiently manage all the Authorites without him having to input Consciousness and amplify the functions of his Demonic Divine Dragon Body .
Thankfully, he didn’t have to look far for one .
Sky Wings .
If it was Jeong-woo’s signature skill that he had once experienced on the 21st floor, he thought it would be perfect to use as an operating system .
‘Sky Wings was originally a skill that heightened the limits of Draconic Blessings to tie them up with traits, Authorities, and skills . ’
And that wasn’t all . It was the greatest buff skill .
That was why its Numbering was 002 .
Although it was pushed back to 003 because of Fire Wings, it was most definitely an outstanding skill .
No, it didn’t make sense that Fire Wings was compared to it in the first place .
The purpose of attack skills and buff skills were different in the first place . It was funny to say that one was better than the other .
Anyways .
If Yeon-woo could have Sky Wings, no, an adjusted Sky Wings that fit his Demonic Divine Dragon Body?
Then he would really have proper wings .
Yeon-woo didn’t think it was impossible .
Sky Wings was a skill that Jeong-woo made, and if he worked with him, he would be able to anew it .
Something that was equal to Wind Path or Fire Wings would probably be the result .
The other skills, Authorities, and traits he had would improve as well .
He would grow overall .
It wouldn’t be normal growth, but explosive growth .
『Hyung . 』
“What?”
『Is your conscience okay?』
Jeong-woo looked exhaustedly at Yeon-woo . Yeon-woo already had one to two cheat skills, but he wasn’t satisfied .
His hyung was still greedy as in the past .
“Of course I don’t have one . ”
Yeon-woo snorted, crossing his arms .
“I have to have all the good things . ”
『As expected, your temper…… . 』
Jeong-woo shook his head from side to side .
Yes .
His brother was several tiers above him .
