Chapter 162: Abyss (1)
‘Oduk! I will get rid of all of you. I will kill all of you.’
Just wait. He would surely return.
If he didn’t die then he would make them feel an eternity of pain.
Kang-jun’s anger reached its peak.
Not only was he thrown in the Abyss, his household members who hadn’t done anything wrong were sent to hell.
It was enough to make him regret that he didn’t join hands with the demonic gods to attack the Celestial World.
Fury burned in his body.
In the meantime, his body continued to fall.
Just where was he falling to?
It had been a while since he was thrown into the Abyss but he was still falling.
At first, Kang-jun had only been trembling with anger at the Celestial World but now he started to question the Abyss.
'Is this a place without a bottom?’
That’s right.
The Abyss was a place of endless falling.
He couldn’t feel any strength in his body.
Before he was thrown into the Abyss, there was still some room to raise chaos power but now he couldn’t raise any strength at all.
Thus, Kang-jun felt a sense of despair at his hopelessness.
Was this the end?
An eternal fall!
Endless despair!
Kang-jun gritted his teeth.
‘There is no absolute despair.’
His eyes filled with flames.
'Any extreme space must have a way of escaping.’
In order to do that, he had to suppress his anger.
He had to understand what this bizarre space was rather than focusing on his vengeance against the Celestial World.
‘What the hell is this place?’
The Abyss was an area where time and space didn’t seem to exist.
Was this the beginning of an earlier state?
'I seem to be the only one who exists here.’
Kang-jun soon felt like his existence was fading.
This was a place where nothing should exist.
Anything thrown inside would completely disappear and return to nothingness.
‘A space that destroys everything. This is the Abyss.’
Before he knew it, most of Kang-jun’s body had scattered and disappeared.
Once his entire body scattered, his consciousness would also cease to exist.
Complete death.
Complete annihilation.
Before entering that Abyss, he had tried to guess what had happened to the great demonic gods thrown inside.
However, a light flashed in Kang-jun’s eyes.
‘If there is a power that can destroy me, it means that another power rules this place.’
The power to turn everything into nothingness. As long as that power existed, this place wasn’t empty.
It was another world dominated by a strange power, not dimensional power.
And Kang-jun already knew what this power was.
Due to his feeling of vengeance towards the Celestial World, he had been delayed in grasping this power.
Kang-jun’s falling body stopped for the first time.
Chu chu chu.
At the same time, his body stopped being scattered and he was restored to his original state.
There was a relaxed smile on Kang-jun’s face.
‘Indeed, this is a space of destruction power.’
It was only possible to survive by understanding the essence of destruction.
He had realized the essence of destruction when overcoming Karosio’s temptation and now he saw it in this space.
It wasn’t difficult for Kang-jun to find out that this space was dominated by the power of destruction.
Parururu.
The amulets that sealed him trembled.
In fact, he had threatened the power of the amulets while he was still in the Celestial World.
It wasn’t with chaos power but with destruction power.
He subconsciously realized that he couldn’t beat the chief gods with chaos power and used destruction power.
It was just that the power was so small that he couldn’t show its proper strength.
However, that alone was enough to make the celestial gods afraid.
They panicked and threw Kang-jun into the Abyss.
In fact, it was very wise that the celestial gods threw Kang-jun into the Abyss when just looking at that aspect.
If Kang-jun was kept in hell then it would be possible for him to quickly take off the sealing amulets.
However, this place contained the power of destruction so Kang-jun no longer needed to be bound by any constraints.
‘Now let’s get rid of all these things.’
Pararak! Pasususu.
Kang-jun’s eyes flashed and the amulets on his body turned into dust.
Chaak.
He landed on the ground.
A white snow-covered space.
Surprisingly, this was the bottom of the Abyss.
A beautiful snowy field with no end.
Only those who understood the nature of destruction could land here.
Otherwise, they would continue falling for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
No, it wouldn’t be that long, since they would abandon their own existence in despair.
That was the frightening thing about the Abyss, a space of destruction.
But for those who understood the nature of destruction like Kang-jun, this was no longer a space of despair.
It was just another new world.
Chobeok. Chobeok.
Kang-jun slowly walked over the snowy ground and examined the area around him.
It was a white world everywhere he looked.
Snow was falling from the still sky.
However, although they might look beautiful, but they were actually crystals filled with the power of destruction.
Nevertheless, Kang-jun felt comfortable.
He understood the nature of destruction so this was a place of rest and recovery.
‘There’s someone else here.’
This snowfield wasn’t restricted into certain divisions.
It was an infinite space wide enough to remind him of the dimensional sea.
Even so, he could feel some other existences.
It was because they were large masses of destruction energy.
They were like suns that illuminated this snowy field.
It wasn’t just one but five individuals!
Perhaps they were survivors of the Abyss who realized the nature of destruction.
Of course, he guessed that they were all great destruction gods.
Regardless of the reason.
Whether it was now or later, they would all end up fighting.
This was a world of the strong.
Kang-jun sensed that one of them was approaching this place.
‘I have no weapons so I will have to deal with them with my bare hands.’
Kang-jun’s Heaven's Blood Sword had been destroyed by the chief gods.
Even all the things in his space inventory were smashed.
Fortunately, the Dimensional Sovereign Ring was still intact.
And the Anomalous Phoenix in his wings was also unharmed.
Apart from that, Kang-jun was left with only his body.
Nevertheless, Kang-jun’s combat power had increased even more.
It was now possible to use destruction power instead of chaos power.
Lv400 (Exp 00.00%)
[War] Destruction
Health: 203070/203070
Destruction Power: 199090/199090
Strength: 404 (+100)

Charisma: 65 (+20)
However, destruction power was just a process.
From the moment he held the power of destruction, Kang-jun finally had a clear view of the new world.
Hwanmong Ruler!
He could feel the so-called power of Hwanmong. He hadn’t crossed that wall yet but it wasn’t far away.
Of course, it was always difficult when one was close to the turning point. There was even a chance he wouldn’t cross this wall.
The difference between one that crosses the wall and one that couldn’t was as large as the difference between heaven and earth.
'I have to cross that wall before I leave this place.’
He just managed to survive this new world due to the power of destruction so if he couldn’t get the power of a Hwanmong Ruler, he would stay here forever.
Therefore, Kang-jun was more glad than afraid about the hostile existence heading towards him.
In a situation where his destruction power reached the limit while facing a great enemy, it would be a great help to cross the wall.
However, the great demonic gods weren’t able to cross that wall.
Hwanmong Ruler!
It was only possible for him to obtain the power of Hwanmong.
This was because only those with the power of Hwanmong could become a Hwanmong Ruler.
'It is a bit too much being bare-handed so I’ll have to make a weapon.’
Kang-jun imagined the shape of a sword and injected energy.
Chu chu chu chu.
After a while, a snow white sword was created.
The colour was different but the shape was the same as the Heaven's Blood Sword that the chief gods had shattered.
It was because the shape of the weapon was natural for him.
Kang-jun suddenly frowned.
'Damn! They just had to break my sword.’
It was only a small problem if they took it away, he could regain it later. However, they ended up breaking his sword.
The power jewels were also destroyed.
He couldn’t leave this matter alone.
Kang-jun formed tight fists as he recalled everything he went through to collect the materials.
He became angrier the more he thought about it.
Although he could freely use the destruction power, so he was no longer bound by weapons.
It was a snow sword but the energy of destruction was condensed within it.
'That's great. I also have to make armour.’
It was a bit embarrassing to fight naked but that worry disappeared when he closed his eyes and created a suit of armour.
Furthermore, the defense of the armour was stronger than any heavy armour he ever wore.
He wouldn’t budge even if he received an attack filled with chaos power.
Chu chu chu chu.
He visualized a white scale armour similar to the one he wore before.
'It is plausible.’
Once he finished with his armour and weapon, Kang-jun closed his eyes and waited quietly.
He stood still like a stone statue while his right hand held the snowy sword.
The great demonic god could arrive at any time.
Kang-jun felt that they were pretty close but he didn’t know the distance.
This was an infinite space.
So Kang-jun prepared for the battle by creating an imaginary space.
As always, he created an enemy with the same abilities as himself and duelled with them.
It wasn’t training.
After a few hours?
Hwiing!
There was a gust of wind and a man appeared in front of him.
The handsome man was wearing a red armour.
The man was beautiful enough to take away the soul of any woman.
He could easily be called a male version of Karosio.
However, he was much more powerful than her.
“How surprising. A human knows how to deal with the energy of destruction. Rather, what terrible thing did you commit to be thrown into this place?”
He gazed at Kang-jun, who still had his eyes closed, with an absurd expression.
At that moment, Kang-jun opened his eyes and gazed at the man.
"Who are you?”
Then the man smirked.
"I don’t know how long it has been since someone asked me this. Those who know my name call me Spiros.”
Spiros, the great demonic god who had been trapped here for thousands of years.
