Chapter 106: Catastrophe (7)

...

“Stay here.”

Jaehwan spoke to Cayman as he swung his sword to make the Blue Lion back off.

“It’s you.”

Sameng Hoon looked at Jaehwan, barely standing. There was corruption seeping out from his body.

‘This mere [Product] brought this…’

Because of him, the [Cultivation] failed, the years of work put into overtaking <Chaos> failed, and the Palace of Reincarnation was destroyed. Moreover, the 9th region lost many Generals.

And now, over hundreds of Generals and 5 Commander had to ‘die’ to come into <Chaos>.

“So, is it him?”

“…We came all the way here because of ‘him’?”

5th commander Migata and 6th commander Serim began expressing their complaints. They were weaker then Sameng Hoon, but they were still one of the strongest in the <Great Lands>.

Sameng Yuha even added, “…Did you really need me?”

They couldn’t understand needing to come all the way here because of one [Product].

“I know, but it was necessary,” Sameng Hoon answered, smiling bitterly. He had to prepare for the unexpected. For example…

Sameng Hoon glanced over at the factory.

‘But that’s not possible.’

At that moment, Jaehwan began unleashing his energy. It was the power that killed Sameng Garam. His world began to unfold in front of the Commanders.

“So, he opened the [Creation]. Still weak though.”

Chundo of the Green spat as he watched. Sameng Hoon couldn’t disagree. He had faced many Awakeners throughout his 5,000 years of life with very few who were at the 4th step. Jaehwan was weaker than those people.

Jaehwan’s unique world unfolded. On the top of the Tree of Imagery was ‘Eye of Asura’ with crows flying around. Corpses were strewn all over the place.

“…What the hell is this place?”

Sameng Yuha spoke and other the Commanders were surprised as well.

“The eye. Does that symbolize the [First Nightmare]?”

“Maybe it’s <Big Brother>.”

“What’re those? Crows?”

“I like how he sees humans as corpses.”

They all had different comments, but they had one same thought.

‘He’s crazy.’

No one feared Jaehwan’s world. No matter how unique it was, the world did not materialize fully. The [Creation] was just the beginning of the step. There were a few more steps to take after the world was formed, but Jaehwan did not have anything other than the way to see his world.

‘So, he was their hope? They fought because of him?’

Sameng Hoon scoffed. He was disappointed at what those people trusted.

‘Then what you will now see is despair.’

Jaehwan began to walk and unleashed his [World Stab]. A few of the Lesser Generals perished as they charged toward Jaehwan. The Commanders just scoffed.

“What a puny attack.”

With just a few swings, [World Stab] disappeared.

“May I?” 5th Commander Migata asked. He was the weakest of the Commanders, so it was natural. But Sameng Hoon shook his head.
