787 times. Budda figured Jaehwan was going to give up soon.

Jaehwan's sword penetrated Budda's heart.

"AAAARGH!"

1,862 times. Budda thought it was almost time. Jaehwan's sword destroyed his face.

"UGHGHGHGHH!"

2,763 times. Budda thought, 'This one's demon! He's a demon!'

Budda died as he felt the swords ripping his entire body apart.

3,971 times. Budda now gave up on thinking. He could only moan along with the mixture of laughter and tears.

"Ka… kahh…. Ah…"

The sword cut the spirit in half.

And finally, 5,487 times.

Jaehwan was holding Budda up with his hands. He didn't think it would last this long, but Budda was certainly at his limit.

"Reincarnation, are you going to try it again?"

Budda couldn't answer. No, maybe he couldn't even think now. There was no dignity of a G.o.d or a 1st Captain in Budda's shaking body. His empty face no longer held the will of life. Jaehwan then thought maybe Budda could finally get a hint of Ouroboros in this state, but it was too late.

"So you tried to take Karavan as a hostage."

Jaehwan found Karavan as he moved through with Budda in his hands.

"Jaehwan...?"

It seemed like Karavan had regained his senses. He tried to reach out for Jaehwan but fainted. He had traces of wounds all over his body. Jaehwan controlled the s.h.i.+p remotely to put Karavan inside. He seemed to be weak without a G.o.d, but they had Chunghuh to take care of him.

Chunghuh was almost done too. Jaehwan looked around in the dust and stopped in one direction.

"When will you stop watching?"

Jaehwan then threw Budda's body into the dust and heard someone grab him. The sound was as if flesh had struck against metal.

-You are one of a kind, for sure.

"…"

-I didn't think you could force Budda into such a state. Haha… you only have one set of clothes now. Are you okay? Don't say you've died already.

It was hard to tell if he was joking or not. Jaehwan knew whose voice it was.

"Myad."

-Jaehwan.

The dust cloud died and the giant Gigantes body appeared from within. A blood red giant that stood over ten meters looked down at Jaehwan.

There was the best Gigantes of , Machina of Daeus.

Jaehwan's [Eye of Geshtalt] was resonating. It seemed like the [Parts] of the Three Ancient G.o.ds recognized each other. Myad's voice came from the c.o.c.kpit.

-If you have come all this way, you must know everything. We won't need to talk about it then.

"Yeah."

-Then, come.

Machina and Jaehwan took a step toward each other instantly. A fight between a human and a giant. There was a huge size difference, but it was hard to tell whose world power was greater.

Jaehwan's [Fall] exploded out as Myad's [Sea of Blood, Mountain of Corpses] spread through the world. Jaehwan's sword roared and Machina growled.

It was the final battle to decide the fate of .
