Jaehwan's world power began to soar. As it surged past 10 million, it seemed to be painful for Jaehwan, but it was just for a short moment.

11 million…

It was now long past Budda's world power. He now realized the secret behind Jaehwan's power.

'So that's the power of the Eye of Geshtalt…'

It was the [Setting] that Geshtalt used who had no Followers. His Setting allowed him to use his own clothes to become his Followers. The Setting granted more power if there were more clothes within him. It was the loneliest world power in this world.

[Fall]

Jaehwan's stabs that destroyed worlds ripped apart the thousands of hands. Budda knew he could [Reincarnate], but it was still terrifying. Budda felt as if he had seen a snake's tail-like thing.

Thousands of stabs swept away everything from Budda. It was absolute decimation.

And after a while…

The s.p.a.ce distorted and began to peel itself like an onion. It was where Budda had perished. There was a flower that bloomed from it and Karavan had also seen it before.

Budda panted as he walked out of the flower leaves. He rubbed his eyes and spat, "…Ugh, this is disgusting."

A dead spirit coming back alive? This was a terrifying miracle. How was this possible? Jaehwan, however, didn't seem surprised. He simply stated, "So, that's the [Reincarnation]."

"Yes."

"You are not the one I fought."

Budda flinched.

"…How did you know?"

"You feel different."

Jaehwan glared at Budda and continued, "You are 'different clothes'. So, the different clothes take control of the spirit."

"…"

"That is not [Reincarnation]. The Budda that was here before is dead."

Budda shook at Jaehwan's declaration. He had reincarnated countless times and defeated countless enemies, but it was the first time that his secret had been revealed.

[Reincarnation]

It was far from a real 'resurrection' as the name suggested When it was used, the previous personality perished instead. It then gave birth to one of the countless 'clothes' deep within the consciousness. A new set of 'clothes' then received the previous Budda's memory to be born from the flower.

Giving birth to a new self in place of his former self — that was the secret to Budda's [Reincarnation].

"You are no Budda. Budda died long ago."

Jaehwan's words pierced Budda's mind. This was what countless Buddas had thought about. They continued the memories and reshaped them in the same way, but it didn't change the fact that the previous Budda wasn't the exact same as the current one.

Budda knew this. Every time the reincarnation happened, his personality was changing. And he felt his core character that existed within him falling apart every time.

"SHUT UP! I am BUDDA!"

Budda couldn't accept it. Even if he knew, even if he accepted it, he was no longer 'Budda'.

"I am Budda! G.o.d of Invincibility, the G.o.d who has not lost once!"

Budda unleashed his world power. His thousands of years of his anger shot out to avoid his death.

Budda was certain that his path was not wrong. Even if he was no longer 'Budda' at the end of the path, he still would not lose. His self would keep coming back to life and…

Jaehwan's eye turned cold as he looked into the world power charging upon him.

"I see. Maybe we can try to see how many times you can return."

Budda's spirit was shaking. He had felt this feeling a while ago.

Fear? Did he feel scared?

Death. The fear of peris.h.i.+ng. A feeling that he had long forgotten. As he faced Jaehwan's thousands of swords ready to be fired, Budda felt like he was going through déjà vu. It was the sight of his future 'self' being killed mercilessly.

"You must know this if you have trained Ouroboros…"

Jaehwan's sword roared as he said, "Clothes are not infinite."

Budda charged while screaming.
