Transformation or Death - Chapter 307



307 – Dragon’s Tail (3)

From noble mtl dot com

“Wow, the universe has really arrived…!!”

“As you live, you will experience things like this….”

Red Vega looked a little excited, and Hound looked around in bewilderment.

There is not a single plant in sight, nor is the beauty of the sea shining and reflecting sunlight. All that is there is cold, desolate, gray land. And there was a snake flying in the sky, burning hotter than the sun.

It was a strange snake with one but many heads. The snake rolled its eyes and stuck out its tongue, threatening them.

“It’s all meaningless resistance! “Why don’t you know!”

Looking at the five people gathered on the moon, he shouted as if he couldn’t understand. He did not have the dignity typical of a high-ranking person, and gave the impression that he was something of a pitiful scoundrel.

What lay beyond the stripped divinity was a beast.

Jason answered the snake.

“We will decide, not you, whether it is meaningless.”

The snake sneered.

“The greatest power of mankind has gathered here in one place! If this isn’t meaningless, what is meaningless? You have left your own weaknesses! “It’s foolish to trap yourself in space!”

The strategy used when fighting the Watcher was still effective. Now there is no power left on Earth to stop the snake’s head.

The maximum power is concentrated within the moon. Even if it avoids them and sends only one head to the ground, the victory belongs to the snake.

“Okay… you guys eat last. “That would be another fun experience.”

So the snake sent an ember down. In a world of zero gravity, the embers that initially fell only by reaction gradually became influenced by gravity as they got closer to the Earth.

The embers that fell beyond the stratosphere soon fell.

landed on the surface of the moon.

“It won’t work out the way you think.”

Right next to the embers, Jason’s flag was waving. Even in space where there was no wind, the flag moved without forgetting the wind.

The movements were jumbled and confusing, as if they had lost their way.

“It seems like everyone got lost in front of me.”

Jason gained the power of Argos again. However, the miracle that the constellation brings is a little different from before.

My purpose changed and my personality changed. It’s as if most of the foundation that makes up a person has been torn away. Naturally, Starlight’s power to respond to the user’s will also had to change.

For example, the power of brainwashing has disappeared. The power to control the sea also disappeared. It is a ship that moves without wind or waves. There was no need to dwell on it.

So, there is no need for the sea either. The voyage that Jason embarks on is a journey of swimming through the surface layer of the mind, which is like the vast expanse of the actual ocean.

There is no need for strength or space to move forward. It’s okay if you don’t stipulate it.

If you decide to go anywhere, that place will soon become a new sea.

It was the beginning of the voyage.

“You said we were trapped in space?”

Goldilocks Zone is gone.

What arose instead was the power to define space.

A miracle that can be defined as your own sea, anytime, anywhere.

Simply put, it is a miracle that makes a certain area of ​​space completely your own. There are many effects, but if I had to point them out, they would be as follows.

One is the power to ensure that one’s attack is hit, the other is the power to avoid the opponent’s attack unless it is larger than one’s body, and the other is the power to hinder the opponent’s movement.

Right now, this space revolves around him. The moment it goes out of range, it wanders like a ship that has lost its direction on the sea and eventually returns to its original place.

Jason jumped towards the snake.

He placed the flag above his head and shouted loudly.

“You are the only one who is lost here!”

Unfortunately, he and the snake were not compatible.

The most powerful ability, Piljung, is a very small ability despite the size of the original snake’s body, and attack avoidance is also not activated because the snake’s body is so large that each attack exceeds Jason’s body.

However, the power to make one lose one’s way was effective.

The beginning and the end were the same. Jason, who had been pretending to be a monster with only the power to make people lose their way, tried to become a hero again with only the power to make them lose their way.

The difference from the past is that he no longer gets lost.

“This universe will become your tomb!”

“Ugh… what is that…”

Jason’s body melted from the snake’s heat. But Jason paid no heed to it and continued to push his flag deep into the man’s head. Firmly so that it never falls off.

Jason’s melted body was regenerated. He was regenerated and melted repeatedly. If you only look at the results, it was something close to torture that only caused pain.

It didn’t matter. This is a battle of wills.

Many powers have disappeared and changed, but the power that allows us to continue to exist in this world if we have the will has not disappeared.

The snake violently moved its body back and forth, trying to shake Jason off its head. But no matter how much the snake shook, Jason stood firm and did not fall.

“Unless my will is broken, I will never be able to escape from here!”

The flag created by Amundsen’s arrow did not break.

“Do you think such resistance would have any meaning? Ultimately, destruction will not be avoided! That’s how it is! “Buying time won’t stop me!”

The snake laughed as it watched Jason endlessly melt and regenerate.

One of the heads rushed towards Odette. It was aimed at the weakest here. She, who fights irregularly by moving freely, was the least durable among them.

It was clear that the snake would melt from the heat just by getting close to it. In fact, it was like that in other worlds. Moreover, she is one of the dangerous people who created an unimaginable variable called regression.

It helps to do it quickly.

“It would have been more helpful if I had used that power for survival, so why don’t you know that! In the end, you can only protect yourself! No matter how bright it shines, in the end, that light is self-righteous!”

The sight of the distance closing in an instant felt like a runaway train. Odette flew a butterfly and moved his body to the other side.

Then another head nearby moved. Dozens of movements and chases were repeated within just one second.

The distance between the snake and Odette gradually narrowed.

And, it arrived.

“…?!”

Odette did not melt, and the snake’s head was crushed. A blue cosmic-colored light prevailed around Odette.

“You call yourself a star and know nothing.”

Behind Odette, there was a Watcher with his hand on her shoulder. he said

“If you shine, you will receive it. “You can banish shadows and see what lies ahead.”

This light is not self-righteous.

“Obviously others and I don’t understand. Because it’s a different entity. But they can influence each other. I definitely don’t know how hard it was for Ayun. You don’t know the pain I went through. But no matter how much it hurts, I can wipe away the tears that flow from that pain.”

The mysterious power of the universe flows widely. It embraced the world like the sky embracing everything.

“Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean you can’t connect.”

When the force hit, Jason’s melting speed slowed down a bit, and Odette felt like the heat had gone away a bit. The same was true for Red Vega and Hound.

The power of the universe is being shared among our allies. That infinite light was connected to them.

“I found out thanks to you. “How to use my universe.”

His original role was not as someone who shines brightly, but as an observer. One who announces that there is a star there.

“My light is not meant to shine on me. The universe that grew in my heart is not just for me. I’m sure it may have been like that before. But… not anymore.”

The power of this universe was not the power to defeat monsters alone.

That is the strength to move forward together.

“The universe embraces everything.”

The blue light rose like a high tide. It was bright, but not so dazzling that it hurt the eyes, and dense, but not heavy or stuffy. It wrapped around their bodies like a gentle hug.

“It is to shine light on those who come, regardless of whether they are weak or strong.”

That blue light drove away the snake’s evil light. Even though both were light, it seemed as if the shadow was being pushed away by the light.

“This is…”

“Surely you said it? “The power of the universe can defeat you.”

Before we knew it, the serpent’s glory that had filled the moon’s sky had taken a backseat to the brilliance of the universe.

The universe grows endlessly. It expands infinitely, causing countless stars to die and being reborn at the same time.

Jaejoong Han’s microcosm has become much larger than before due to repeated fights with snakes. Of course, since that power was shared by all five people, its brilliance was so great that it could not be measured.

“I heard carefully the explanation that a single human being has infinite power.”

Watcher grinned.

“Thanks to you, my universe has now become a power shared by everyone beyond just humans.”

Those eyes flashed sadly.

“You know what? The side of justice, including magical girls. The basic fighting method is….”

The snake’s scales shook gently. It was similar to goosebumps on human skin. Five people with the power of the universe were surrounding the snake.

“It is a joint attack carried out by many people.”

Two of them, Hound and Red Vega, opened their eyes with a murderous look and looked at the snake.

“…Oh, that’s right. Hound, Vega. This is not Earth anymore. “We are not weak enough to be defeated by your strength.”

Watcher looked at the two and said. They were panting wildly like hunting dogs waiting for a hunting command to be given.

After a very brief moment of silence, the Watcher raised his hand.

“Go wild.”

“Master’s enemies, kill them.”

“Kiyatho!”

The two supernovae exploded like real stars.

**

The snake was embarrassed. This reality was so absurd that I couldn’t even feel the pain. Accidents could not keep up with reality.

My body is falling apart. Like an insignificant sand castle, like a cooled bonfire stirred up with kindling, embers flutter like insignificant powder.

They are being defeated by only five people, insignificant creatures who have not even reached the level of gods. No matter how much they moved their bodies, blew their breath, or sprayed their poison, they overcame everything and destroyed the snake’s body.

Why?

What went wrong first?

Since when we failed to prevent Jo Ayun’s return? Or from when he pushed the Watcher out of space? Since when he was attacked by Silver Luna and the magical girls? Since when Amundsen risked her life and removed her regenerative abilities? Or, since when she decided to become a snake and eat the world?

The struggles of the weak and their desperate determination continued, bringing out the legendary power like a dragon. The dragon’s tail killed the snake’s head.

I know. This was ultimately a trend and fate. It continues like biting each other. It’s no use trying to trace back when.

A long time ago, this body was destined to be broken. Death had already been decided long ago.

But I couldn’t accept it. The snake thought.

It can’t go on like this. What immediately came to mind was impatience.

If things continue like this, we cannot create a world where the stars do not reach. You can’t become a god. It cannot prevent destruction.

The universe crushed the stars. The snake gave up victory.

Instead, he chose to go crazy.

“You have a destiny! A fate that cannot be resisted! Starlight made it like that! “Starlight brought misfortune!”

The snake shouted.

“You must not stop me! I will open a new world! A world where starlight does not reach! We will open a world where everyone is unhappy! Stop it! “Stop now!”

Red Vega answered that cry.

“no!”

That was a resolute denial.

“Surely I have faced many misfortunes by the stars! But it also brought me a lot of happiness! “If there were no stars, I might have had a family, but at the same time, I wouldn’t have met so many colleagues and loved ones!”

That’s why I say it confidently.

“Light just exists! “It is up to each person whether to accept it as a misfortune or a blessing.”

Light illuminates all things equally, so those who get too close to the light and go blind will see it as misfortune, and those who survive the winter with the warmth of that light will see it as a blessing.

In the end, everything depends on each person’s judgment and thinking.

It was a matter of will.

“So I won’t shout about how unhappy my life is! I was unhappy, but I was also happy! And at the end, you will shout out that you were happy!”

Red Vega’s way of thinking has not changed from the beginning to the present.

“Giving hope is what a magical girl does!”

The snake’s body disappears. The body that connected the neck to the neck was scattered in the flames and disappeared. Red Vega asked the snake as it neared death.

“Even if your life is decided, how you accept the results depends on each person’s attitude! “Isn’t that why you’re resisting like this?”

“that….”

The snake couldn’t answer. Because it was true. Even though he knew his fate, he was the one who took the attitude of resistance.

“It already shows that you can resist fate! But why are we so obsessed with fate?”

“…I am.”

“Even though life was decided long ago, I will live my life my way! No matter what the outcome is, I don’t want to regret it later!”

Red Vega soared high. The gaze quickly turned to the only remaining head.

“So I won’t listen to you!”

I stretched out my feet and compressed the flame into those legs.

“I will defeat you and shout love and peace to protect the world!”

Red Vega, which had risen, fell.

Over the head of the serpent, over the head of that cunning, cunning, and vile sinner.

It comes down like a baptism, like washing away sins with a flame.

Flames pierced the head, and the last head fell off.

“after….”

Red Vega sighed and looked at the snake.

‘…What is it?’

The appearance, the way he spoke, the actions, the starlight and energy, none of it was familiar. Whether she knew it or not, that snake looked familiar.

A tongue protruded from inside the severed head. The tip of a strange, human-shaped tongue crawled on the moon.

The tongue’s mask shattered, revealing the face inside.

“It can’t be like this… It can’t be like this… I… I can’t face the end like this…”

His face was covered in burn marks. A miserable figure whose features are unrecognizable.

However, only one person, Jaejoong Han, noticed the identity of that face.

“…That.”

It was none other than his own face.
