Everyone is Young Except for Me Chapter 373

[How did you become like this? Look in the mirror. Your appearance right now...]

I couldn't finish my words and frowned.

Lee Geonmyeong seemed to think I was laughing at him and shouted furiously, [Shut up!] 

Suddenly, a black and white beam of light shot out from Lee Geonmyeong's mouth. The black and white beam of light contained the power of a thunderbolt and another power with unknown identity. As the beam of light flew, the space distorted with a fearsome momentum and my complexion rapidly changed.

[......!]

I quickly gathered the power of the weather in one place and confronted the black and white beam of light with the seven colored Flying Circle Jewel. Once the two great forces collided, a strong wind blew and there was a roar like the world was bursting.

The surprising thing was that Flying Circle Jewel, which dominated at first, was gradually being pushed back. Soon, a roar burst from the black and white beam of light. The Flying Circle Jewel was gradually pushed away and scattered in all directions.

[Hat!]

I was shocked and narrowly avoided the black and white beam of light that came at me. Shortly thereafter, an explosion was heard. A circular wave of destruction blew in my ear and there was a burst of light. It was literally a moment. By the time I closed and opened my eyes, Lee Geonmyeong was already in front of me. He was throwing a black colored fist filled with an unknown force.

I was surprised and quickly unfolded a seven-colored shield. Lee Geonmyeong's black fist pierced such a shield like it was a joke and struck my face. At almost the same time, there was the sound of metal being hit by a fist and the ground shook as dust rose. I shook my head that was buried in the ground and raised my head to look for Lee Geonmyeong. However, his condition was a bit strange.

[......?]

[Aaack!]

Lee Geonmyeong was grabbing his head in pain. I was feeling confused when a voice entered my ears.

-Elder, it's Kang Jaeseong. Earlier, Lee Geonmyeong attempted to forcibly fuse with Gaia in order to stop your attack. That is what you are seeing now. It is an imperfect attempt and he seems to be in a lot of pain right now. If you leave it alone, I don't know what will happen when he runs wild. He has a copy of the master key. You have to stop him right now.

[Forced fusion? So that mysterious power before was Gaia's power?]

-In conclusion, yes. The white color is the power of thunderbolts while the black color is the power of destruction out of Gaia's power of creation and destruction. It is a completely absurd power that returns everything to nothing.

[It is a game you made, but it sounds bad.]

-In any case, time is running out. Do you have any trump cards that you have hidden? If you buy a bit of time, I think I can create an intangible space where I can control him with the master key. Once trapped in it, he will lose the power of a god and his body will become human. Therefore, he will be much easier to subdue. If not, I will have to use the last method that I told you. However, I don't want to use that method if possible.

Kang Jaeseong sighed. The last method was to seal Gaia, the core of the supercomputer. He told me how to do it and it was possible because Park Muyeol's wooden sword was made of the golden apple tree. If something really happened then I would use it without hesitation.

[There is one thing I haven't used yet...]

Suddenly, the entrance became noisy and there were quite a lot of footsteps. It was Park Muyeol and his companions who appeared just in time. Next to Park Muyeol was Chunza who had been guarding the entrance outside. There was a ban that blocked space power so they had probably run inside the palace.

“Hey, Chuntaek, are you okay?!”

[Why did you come here?]

“What is this rotten way of talking? What are good friends for?”

[There is nothing you can do. Just logout. Groan, forget it. Just hide somewhere! You guys can't handle him!]

I flew straight into the air. Then I stepped on the clouds and danced. I was performing all the dances of the Flying Weather Dance. Beautiful golden silk threads extended from my body while giving off a strong, sweet smell.

[Fly into the sky with my Flying Kick Technique...]

The sun, moon, rain, clouds, snow, thunderbolts, stars, and wind. The signs of the weather floated around me and were sucked into my body. At this moment, an uncontrollable energy burst out and the image of a golden dragon was formed behind me.

At the same time, my dance ended.

[The heavens will come before you.]

In the midst of the shaking of the heavens and earth, I heard a dragon's roar. The golden dragon wrapped around me and I became a seven-colored bead bitten in the mouth of the heavenly dragon. Golden energy stretched behind me back and the various weather signs were hovering around me, emitting light.

[Kuooooh.]

Lee Geonmyeong, who lost his sense of reason, was blinded by the dazzling light. I didn't delay and fired the attack at Lee Geonmyeong. A golden wave that formed a river and a sea struck Lee Geonmyeong. Lee Geonmyeong instinctively felt an ominous feeling and ran toward me while growling. I moved the heavenly dragon and competed with Lee Geonmyeong dozens of times. The surrounding space distorted, creating a bizarre terrain. 

The Sun Breath was fired from the mouth of the heavenly dragon, making Lee Geonmyeong's body hot. However, it still wasn't enough to damage him, who had forcibly fused with Gaia. I didn't stop there. I created a huge storm with my tail and blew it over. The force was enough to devour the entire space.

[Kuaaaack!]

Lee Geonmyeong lost his sense of reason and screamed in the midst of the typhoon. I slowly flicked my fingers at the typhoon, sending the sun, wind, rain, clouds, stars, moon, and thunderbolts all into the massive storm. The wind that absorbed all of it turned into a disaster, but even this wasn't enough to stop Lee Geonmyeong. For a moment, his eyes regained their sanity and he screamed, [Kuooh. Die!]

Around Lee Geonmyeong's body, a gray shield, in harmony with the black and white energy in Lee Geonmyeong's body, grew, sucking everything in and becoming a huge disaster that turned everything back to nothing. I watched it with a shocked expression.

[Huhuhu, I've barely regained my mind. I was almost swallowed up.]

Lee Geonmyeong's low laugh rang in my ears. I hadn't expected that even this wouldn't work. I glared at him with gritted teeth. Just then, an intangible wall fell from the sky and blocked Lee Geonmyeong's left side. At the same time that the ground shook, several more intangible walls fell in a row. They took turns blocking the east, west, and north of Lee Geonmyeong, becoming like a prison. Finally, the top was covered like a lid. At the same time, there was a pure white light that formed a chain to restrain Lee Geonmyeong.

[W-What is this?!]

Lee Geonmyeong resisted the white chain. As I was close to him, I could see everything. Then I heard Kang Jaeseong's voice.

-Phew, fortunately I did it in time. Thank you for the trouble, Elder. 

[What trouble? Can you knock him out now?]

-That's right. Once he is trapped in it, his body that has become an original god will turn back to a human after a while. The effect seems pretty good even if I made it in a hurry. Soon, he will be moved to the Star Flow System along with these walls. He will die alone in a place where there is nothing. These walls will explode automatically over time.

It certainly seemed to work. Lee Geonmyeong was trying to resist the chain with red eyes, but he was noticeably losing strength. At this moment—

[I-I can't be beaten like this. I will bring you with me!]

Black and white energy formed at Lee Geonmyeong's fingertips and he pierced the intangible wall.

[......!]

At the same time, I was caught and sucked inside. The intangible wall was restored in an instant before disappearing from here. Now the only ones left were Park Muyeol's group.

* * *

Striking constellations endlessly lit up the sky. The place I was transmitted to along with the pure white light was another dimensional space called the Star Flow System. I looked around at the strange landscape I was seeing for the first time and smiled bitterly when I saw a white chain around me.

[The unknown power has restrained all strength.]

[You have now temporarily become a human being.]

[There are 30 minutes left until the explosion of the Star Flow System.]

[You can't logout for some reason.]

“Hmm, I just have to wait like this. By the way, where did Lee Geonmyeong go? Dr Kang Jaeseong, do you hear me?” I shouted into the air, but I couldn't hear Kang Jaeseong's voice.

It seemed that the problem was caused by a slight error. I decided to look around for Lee Geonmyeong. Soon, I was able to find Lee Geonmyeong.

“...You came.

“Is that your wife next to you?” I saw a beautiful middle-aged woman lying next to Lee Geonmyeong. Her hands were placed on top of each other and her face looked very calm.

“My wife and your wife knew each other very well.”

“I've already heard about it. It is because I've received Pluto's power from my wife. I found out that the two of them formed a special friendship leading up to their deaths. Later, I learned that they became Pluto and Gaia in the illegal experiment you planned.”

“...I see. In a way, the two of us are truly alike. Yes. Maybe this is also a fated relationship.”

Lee Geonmyeong silently closed his eyes before opening them again. Then he slowly rose from his spot. Then he reached out to the dead Han Hyeyeon and burned her with a red light. Han Hyeyeon's body consisted of 1s and 0s and slowly started to disappear.

“What are you doing now?!” I shouted coldly at him with an angry face and grabbed him by the collar.
