Chapter 1123

When Minhyuk collected 5,000 Asteroid Fragments, the next slot was released. A list of Supremes had also been made available to him. Each item needed 5,000 Asteroid Fragments for exchange. Of course, the item All Supreme Asteroids was also visible.

Minhyuk knew the moment the Supreme Sovereign appeared that the quest that he had received would be completed faster and more easily if he exchanged for the All Supreme Asteroids. Alas, he was also an ordinary human, even though he knew he still did not exchange for one. Why did he do that? Well, the answer was simple. It was because of greed.

If he could take away Rundalk’s daughter from the Supreme Sovereign and run away, then he would be able to complete the quest safely. On top of that, he would not need to use any Asteroid Fragments, no?

What if he could buy something that he needed with those 20,000 Asteroid Fragments? Then, he would be much stronger than he was right now. This greed had shackled Minhyuk and stopped him from using those fragments.

Now, Minhyuk decided to let go of that greed. It did not matter if he exchanged all his Asteroid Fragments for an item. It did not matter if Rundalk was guilty and had to pay for his crimes. There was a line that one should never cross.

Captain Evaluator Ruba had been punished for crossing the line that should never have been crossed in Beyond the Heavens Empire in the past. Now, he had crossed this line once again as the Supreme Sovereign. He should never have tried to show how he would kill Rundalk to his little daughter.

Rundalk sinned against Chaos and the dead evaluators.

‘But Ruba...’

He committed this atrocity simply because he enjoyed it.

“Close your eyes.”

The crying Bellamy closed her eyes tightly when she heard Minhyuk’s warm and gentle voice. After instructing Bellamy, Minhyuk exchanged one more item with his Asteroid Fragments.

[You have exchanged for a Safe Space.]

[Anyone standing in the square space enclosed by the transparent barrier of the Safe Space will be kept safe from any threat and danger.]

[You have used 200 Asteroid Fragments.]

A square vase-like space was created around Bellamy to protect her. Minhyuk also used the remaining 100 Asteroid Fragments and exchanged them for a “Noise Cancellation.”

“Bellamy, you should stay inside this space and count to 120 for me starting now. Okay?”

“Yes!”

Minhyuk had wholly given up his greed at this moment.

He possessed more than 20,000 Asteroid Fragments in the Pandemonium’s Meteor, a realm resembling an event land that would never reappear. However, he decided to use them all up, even though they would only raise him to the level of Supreme momentarily. Regardless, he believed that this mere moment was worth it.

“All Asteroids, will you please lend me your strength?”

Vwoooooooong–

The asteroids that were orbiting around him resonated wildly with his words.

Minhyuk nodded, his eyes drawn to an asteroid carrying a pattern that looked like something was being sucked into the black thing in the middle.

“Consumable Asteroid.”

[The Consumable Asteroid responds to your call.]

“Please lend me the power of the Supreme that cannot be suppressed or overpowered by anything.”

Crack, crack, crack–

When Minhyuk’s words ended, the shackles that rendered him immobile began to crack. With a simple push, all the shackles that tied him down fell on the ground.

Minhyuk immediately used Like the Wind and charged forward. He did not have much time. When he called for an asteroid, he was able to see Rundalk. From what he could see, Rundalk was already on the last strings of his consciousness. There was a high chance that he would die soon, and his death in this place would mean his complete extinction.

The Supreme Sovereign Ruba was flustered when he saw Minhyuk running through the beautiful and captivating universe.

“Die!!!”

Ruba wanted to laugh and mock Minhyuk. So, when he saw Minhyuk rushing at him, he activated a powerful force. At that moment, hundreds of asteroids burned around him.

[The Sun’s Meteor has been activated.]

[The moment the Sun’s Meteor gets close to your enemies, their bodies will melt. The Sun’s Meteor will also create a huge explosion shortly after contact.]

The Sun’s Meteor burned like the sun and shot toward where the Supreme Sovereign was pointing straight toward Minhyuk. Even so, Minhyuk did not back down. He continued to run despite the magnificent spectacle that was charging at him.

“Shield Asteroid.”

[The Shield Asteroid responds to your call.]

“Please lend me the power of the strongest shield that can never be broken by anything!”

[The Shield Asteroid has summoned the Supreme Shield.]

[The Supreme Shield will remain in effect for thirty seconds. No attack can pierce through the shield protecting you!]

A considerable force shot out from the Shield Asteroid and wrapped around Minhyuk. Minhyuk, covered with a blue barrier, finally collided with the Sun’s Meteor. However, there was no impact. Minhyuk’s body swiftly passed through the Sun’s Meteor. It was as if his body had turned into a spirit state in that moment. The flustered and embarrassed Supreme Sovereign launched countless Sun’s Meteor at him, but nothing changed.

Not long after, Minhyuk arrived in front of Supreme Sovereign Ruba.

“BASTAAAAAARD!!!”

[The Supreme Sovereign begins to gather the Pandemonium’s energy.]

[The Pandemonium’s energy has strengthened all of his powers.]

[All of the Supreme Sovereign’s stats and skills will increase by 20%.]

An overwhelming amount of energy flowed from the strengthened Supreme Sovereign, and he swung his sword at Minhyuk.

Bang–!

Unlike the Sun’s Meteors that passed through Minhyuk’s body, the attack could hit him. Even if an attack could hit, it could not do anything in front of the impenetrable shield that covered Minhyuk’s body. The attack did not reach and could only release shockwaves that wreaked havoc in Pandemonium.

Shwaaaaaaa–

A mocking grin formed on Minhyuk’s face. Then, he said, “Skill Asteroid, Artifact Asteroid.”

At the same time, two asteroids released a bright and blinding light.

“Please lend me the power of the Supreme skill and the power of the Supreme sword.”

[The Skill Asteroid will turn the power of your chosen skill into the power of the Supreme skill.]

[The skill: Lightning has evolved into Supreme Lightning.]

[The Supreme Lightning will tear and rip apart any enemies in your path.]

[The Artifact Asteroid will turn your chosen artifact's power into the Supreme artifact's power.]

[The Sword of Aeon has evolved into the Supreme Sword of Aeon.]

[The Supreme Sword of Aeon can never be blocked by any enemies in your path.]

[Lightning has gone beyond Level 20.]

[Sword of Aeon has been strengthened by +30.]

Amidst all this, the Supreme Sovereign’s attacks did not stop bashing into Minhyuk. Even so, the grin on Minhyuk’s face never faded.

Minhyuk deliberately did not strengthen his “single-target” skill. Perhaps it would have been easier if he chose a skill like that. The reason why he decided to enhance the passive skill Lightning was straightforward.

“I’ll beat you to death.”

“...?!”

That was right. He intended to beat Ruba to his death.

Ruba had worn the mask of the Supreme Sovereign and tried to mock and trample on Minhyuk. Since he used that mask, the fact that he was an evaluator would not matter here. Likewise, no one could interfere and stop Minhyuk regardless of the method of hunting the Supreme Sovereign.

“Bullshit...! I am the Supreme Sovereign! I can ignore most attacks, regardless of their nature!”

Ruba frowned under his helmet. He thought that Minhyuk trying to beat him to death was just some kind of crazy talk.

Bang, bang, bang–!

When Minhyuk’s sword hit him, around eighty lightning bolts fell and devoured him like crazy.

On top of that, Minhyuk had reached the Supreme level. This meant that the gap between him and Ruba had been significantly narrowed. Now, Ruba could only thwart 4 out of 5 attacks that fell on him. In other words, one out of five attacks would land and damage him. And Minhyuk? He could send more than ten attacks in a second.

“K-Keuhaaaaaaack?!”

The Supreme Sovereign was immobile by the attacks that constantly landed on his body.

The Supreme Lightning could leave the opponent in an infinite stunned state with how many strikes it could land upon the enemy. That was why this was the perfect skill for beating someone to their death.

Minhyuk was also surprised as the lightning fell upon the Supreme Sovereign like crazy.

‘He has this much HP?’

It was because the Supreme Sovereign possessed enormous HP and defensive power. Of course, this was because the Supreme Sovereign was the greatest existence in this temporary realm. So, in this place, he was most likely stronger than Helenia.

Even so, his HP and defensive power could still be considered ridiculously high. Nevertheless, the grin never left Minhyuk’s face.

“Stat Asteroid.”

There were still a lot of asteroids that could lend him their power.

[The Stat Asteroid responds to your call.]

“Please lend me the power to break anything in my path.”

[The Stat Asteroid raises your STR to a shocking level.]

STR was a stat that was related to the sword’s attack power.

[Your STR stat has increased by 45%.]

Swoosh–!

An eerie and hair-raising sound rang as Minhyuk swung his sword. Lightning continuously hit Ruba’s body while Minhyuk attacked him non-stop. Minhyuk could see a visible drop in Ruba’s HP.

“K-Keuhaaaaack! S-stoooooooop!!!” Ruba shrieked.

Nevertheless, Minhyuk did not stop attacking him. He kept hitting and attacking the parts of his body that hurt the most.

[The Supreme Shield will now be released.]

The Supreme Sovereign, humiliated and trampled on, was waiting for this very moment.

[The Supreme Sovereign ignores any power.]

Of course, Ruba did not allow himself to get hit like that. Various calculations were going through his head. And with those calculations, he was able to release himself from the infinite stunned state that he was forced into.

Minhyuk switched to the Black Dragon Armor when he saw Ruba break the infinite stunned state and try to cut him.

“Rampant Supreme.”

A shocking force erupted from Ruba’s sword as he hacked Minhyuk more than 300 times in a row. The sword in his hands left dozens of afterimages as he charged toward Minhyuk.

Minhyuk, who watched his HP drop rapidly, called out in his head. ‘Courage Asteroid!’

[The Courage Asteroid responds to your call.]

‘Please lend me enough courage to never back down in front of any overwhelming power.’

[The Courage Asteroid gives you undying courage and helps you fight against your enemies.]

At that moment, Minhyuk unknowingly allowed a single attack to land on him. This attack made his HP fall below 3% in just an instant. Minhyuk groaned.

‘This is nuts.’

Pandemonium was truly a ridiculous place. And the Supreme Sovereign was an even more ridiculous existence. That was probably why Minhyuk was given the chance to reach the Supreme. As long as there was the tiniest possibility, there would be a hole that he could dig into and breakthrough.

[You have been forced to log out.]

Minhyuk’s vision turned dark. But before the Supreme Sovereign could rejoice and release maniacal laughter, Minhyuk, slowly turning into ashes, returned with a completely intact body.

[You possess the Supreme Courage. You will not die.]

“...?!”

[Your HP has been restored to 12%.]

Ultimately, the effects of the Supreme Sovereign’s Rampant Supreme were rendered useless.

[You have accumulated more than 85% Transcendence.]

It was just two seconds, but Minhyuk was able to accumulate more than 80% of Transcendence.

“Transcendence.”

A black energy that was darker and bigger than ever appeared around Minhyuk.

However, the Supreme Sovereign was beyond delighted. He cackled when he realized that all of his calculations were spot on.

“K-Keuhahahahaha! Keuhahahahahaha!” He cackled as he looked at Rundalk. “Idiot. If you had used the Supreme on your strongest attack and launched it at me, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Rundalk had already turned into a cold corpse. That was right. While Minhyuk was frantically using Lightning to beat the Supreme Sovereign, Rundalk was left to die slowly. If Minhyuk had not struck him with Lightning, then he would have been able to survive. Of course, he would still have disabilities, but he would still survive.

‘This is my victory.’

After all, the Supreme Sovereign was just a temporary existence created because of Rundalk. His work here was done.

Just then, the cackling Ruba saw the grin on Minhyuk’s face.

“I think my calculations are correct?”

“...?”

Supreme Sovereign Ruba looked at him in confusion.

‘Wait. N-no way?!’

Only at this moment did Ruba understand the situation.

Rundalk was trapped inside the Pandemonium’s Prison. The longer he was trapped inside, the more his body lost its power and the more debuffedi he would be. So, how could they get through this hurdle? And how could they restore the body that had lost its power?

Well, the answer was simple: Resurrection. They only had to resurrect him after his death. Only then would Rundalk not be deprived of his power and suffer from any disability.

If that was the case, Minhyuk had a way to save Rundalk.

Swoosh–

Goosebumps rose all over Ruba’s body when he realized the depth of Minhyuk’s calculations.

At that moment, Minhyuk, dragging his feet to wait for Rundalk’s death, called out to another asteroid.

“Ability Asteroid.”

[The Ability Asteroid responds to your call.]

When it came to things like this, the result often depended on how one would use them. Minhyuk had been covering his tracks by turning Lightning into Supreme Lightning. Only in that way would he be able to create a new Supreme Skill without interference.

“Please lend me the power to turn any power into the Supreme.”

[The Ability Asteroid bestows the “Supreme Skill Reinforcement upon you.”]

“Use the Supreme Skill Reinforcement.”

The Transcendental’s Spear appeared before Minhyuk with overwhelming black energy spilling out of its blade.

“Skill Reinforcement.”

[The Transcendental’s Spear becomes more powerful.]

[The Transcendental’s Spear becomes more powerful.]

[The Transcendental’s Spear...]

[The Transcendental’s Spear gains the power of the Supreme!]

This beautiful Transcendental’s Spear became the Supreme.

[Transcendental’s Spear.]

[The Transcendental’s Spear will deal an additional 173,000% damage with a 100% hit rate to the designated target.]

[The target will be left in a thirty-second stunned state.]

It now possessed the Supreme power that could pierce through any enemies. And this overwhelming Supreme power pierced through the heart of Supreme Sovereign Ruba.

Shwaaaaaaaaa–!

“Ah. By the way...”

The Supreme Sovereign, pierced through the heart and already turning into ashes, turned to look at Minhyuk.

“Next time you visit me, I will make sure to serve you the same thing I gave you last time.”

“...?”

Ruba looked at Minhyuk in confusion. What did he mean by last time?

“That meal was originally meant for Love, Hope and Happiness. But I’ll give it to you because you’re special.”

“Love, Hope and Happiness...?”

Ruba’s pupils trembled fiercely when he heard those words.

“Ah. It’s the name of the Cerberus that I’m raising.”

“...”

At this moment, Ruba realized that the bibimbap they gobbled up was dog food.
