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.
