Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[Power Up]

The necklace in the hand of an adult becomes violent. It vibrated violently. It was because the Soul Eater sealed inside was running wild.

[Do you think you dare imprison a god? Seal it like that! I will destroy it right now!]

It was not a simple threat.

Damn…. The jewel in the middle of the necklace started to have a slight incontinence.

However, the great man was not embarrassed when he saw that.

‘As expected, I can’t last much longer.’

Because I fully expected this situation.

No matter how much future knowledge and technology was used to create a sealing item, it could not permanently seal a powerful spiritual body like a Soul Eater.

Looking at the power of the spiritual body, the current Soul Eater was a powerful being comparable to the top 10 Demon Lords of the Demon World.

[I’ll get out of here right now and devour you!]

Blah blah blah…!

As the Soul Eater’s resistance became more intense, the incontinence on the necklace spread at a faster rate.

At this rate, the sealed Soul Eater was likely to break out again.

“Where are you going to crawl out again?”

Of course, Daein had no intention of leaving it like that. He used his second trait on the necklace.

Ssssssut.

The power flowing from the great man’s palm gently enveloped the necklace.

Daein thought to himself, recalling all the image training he had done so far.

‘you can do it.’

In his life before regression, the great man was unable to awaken his second characteristic.

The only trait he had was [stealth].

However, in this life, Daein gained a second trait and awakened into a multi-talented person.

However, it was only a few months ago that the second trait was awakened.

Unlike [Stealth], which has been used for over 20 years, the proficiency level for the second attribute was too low.

Therefore, it was difficult to use it in actual battles where life was at stake.

Unless you get help from [Star of Transcendence].

“Single feature optimization – energy manipulation.”

[Optimize the user’s trait ‘Energy Manipulation’]

[Focus optimization on a single trait! Efficiency is maximized!]

[Warning! If you use this ability for a long period of time, serious damage may occur to your body!]

Wooooow!

The light surrounding the necklace became stronger and seeped into the inside of the necklace.

[How dare you try to suppress me?]

Soul Eater roared fiercely at the intrusion of an unfamiliar power.

Even though it was sealed, Soul Eater was still a powerful being.

I fell into a trap and was trapped inside the necklace for a while, but the main body’s power was barely consumed.

He was able to repel most types of magic and powers in an instant.

But…

[What is this…!]

Soul Eater could not help but be astonished by the sticky force that clung to his spiritual body.

It’s unstoppable!

Slurp.

It was clearly clinging to the entire body and ‘eroding’ itself, but the Soul Eater was unable to shake off its power.

“There is another way to catch insubstantial people like you.”

The great man clutched the necklace with a slightly tired expression.

The second characteristic acquired by Daein.

Energy Manipulation

is the ability to manipulate, absorb, transform, and release energy, and is classified as the highest level among numerous superhuman characteristics.

“The spiritual body is ultimately a huge collection of energy.”

In other words, the characteristic itself is Soul Eater’s natural enemy.

The great man grinned and clutched the necklace tightly.

“From now on, I will convert your spiritual body into an absorbable state, stick a straw in it, and suck it up.”

[How dare you covet the power of God!]

The shocked Soul Eater struggled like crazy inside the seal. The great man laughed.

“You tried to steal my body too, right?”

Now it’s just the opposite.

The great man concentrated his mind. With his energy manipulation abilities, he began converting Soul Eaters into a form that could be absorbed.

Tsutsutsu…!

It was never easy.

Daein had only recently awakened to his abilities, lacked experience, and was very unskilled.

Even with the assistance of [Star of Transcendence], it was impossible to use energy manipulation during battle.

‘As I gain more experience, I may be able to use it in various ways in practice… but this is still safe.’

[warning! If this ability is used for a long period of time, it can cause extensive damage to the user’s body!]

Daein, who eroded the Soul Eater’s spiritual body, began to change it into a form that could be absorbed.

[Ouch… Argh…!]

However, Soul Eater also desperately resisted to avoid having its control taken away. A tense tug of war continued for a while.

[I have to become a god again…!]

If the Soul Eater had not been trapped in the seal inside the necklace, and

if Daein had not maximized the power of his characteristics with the assistance of the [Star of Transcendence], he

would not have been defeated so easily.

However, the ‘what if’ assumption had no meaning and

only the result was in front of us.

[…….]

The voice inside the seal was silent. The monster that shouted that it would become a god turned into a huge lump of energy.

“Whew… I’ve passed the most important hurdle.”

Sweat ran down the great man’s forehead.

[warning! warning! If this ability is used for a long period of time, it can cause extensive damage to the user’s body!]

The great man frowned and looked at his watch.

“know. “I know.”

Even though I know, I have no choice but to overdo it now.

If you just leave it alone, Soul Eater will soon wake up again.

It is not completely extinct.

I just fell asleep for a moment.

Lily from the future told me that she had a hard time last time because she didn’t know this.

‘I said I had to absorb it right away.’

The Great Man began to absorb the Soul Eater, which had become edible, into his body.

Tsutsutsutsu!

My body trembled as if I had been electrocuted by high-voltage current.

“Ugh…!”

An enormous amount of energy flowing into the body without stopping.

Immense energy filled my dantian and filled every single cell.

[warning! warning! There is a risk that the user’s body will collapse. We recommend that you stop this work!]

The Star of Transcendence warned of danger. However, Daein did not stop absorbing.

The great man gritted his teeth with a red face with prominent veins on his neck.

“If I stop here now… I won’t be able to eat or porridge!”

It is a body so strong that Soul Eater covets it.

That means it can fully absorb its energy.

[warning! warning! Please stop this action!]

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”

Blood flowed from my clenched teeth and my blood vessels swelled to the point of bursting. The Star of Transcendence constantly sent warning messages.

However, Daein did not stop absorbing until the end.

And at some point,

Paaaa!

“Kwaaaaaak!”

A blinding light burst out from the great man’s body along with a scream.

…dump.

After finishing the absorption, Daein sat down on the floor and took a deep breath.

“Huu… hu….”

The red complexion returned to its original state, and the blood vessels that had swollen to the point of bursting also returned to their original state.

The great man slowly raised his trembling body and made a sound like an old man.

“Oh my, it’s Saksin…”

Daein, who staggered to his feet, let out a long sigh.

And then he looked down at his body.

“Nothing in particular has changed. “I thought you’d do it one more time, even if it meant a complete transformation.”

Even after completely absorbing Soul Eater, nothing changed on the outside.

However, I could clearly feel the enormous energy surging within my body.

Sigh.

The great man stretched out his hand and pointed to the wall in front.

-Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The energy blaster released from his fingertips blew a large hole in the wall.

“Wow…”

The great man looked down at his hands blankly.

Soul Eater planned to steal Daein’s body and use it as his vessel.

But I couldn’t think of the opposite situation.

Would he have dared to imagine that he would be absorbed by Daein?

“Well, I didn’t originally intend to do this, but…”

-There is a better way than just killing the Soul Eater. If the plan succeeds, you will be able to become much stronger than when I knew you.

A method suggested by future Lily.

Of course, it is not that there were no variables or uncertainties in the middle, but in the end, Daein succeeded in completely absorbing the power of Soul Eater.

“kid. Thanks to you, I was able to power up properly.”

The great man muttered, calming down the energy that was boiling throughout his body.

[Star of Transcendence] also no longer sent warning messages to Daein.

Instead, all kinds of messages appeared before my eyes, like congratulatory messages for leveling up.

[Divinity has been absorbed.]

[Qualification requirements are met and the Star of Transcendence (level 3) is released.]

[New functions are unlocked.]

[Existing functions are strengthened.]

…

··

·

[My body is currently very unstable. Sufficient stability is needed!]

“Hwiyu. “There are a lot.”

The great man put off reading the messages that came to him one after another for a moment.

I’ll have to check each one later, but right now there’s something more urgent to do.

“First of all, let’s start with the kids…”

Daein carefully lifted the fainted children into the air.

“…….”

“…….”

Children who were kidnapped without knowing why and subjected to terrible experiments and brainwashing.

These children were raised as vessels for Soul Eaters, but in the end, they were evaluated as failures and became tools to be used once and then discarded.

‘Everything is in bad shape.’

All of the children had pale complexions and irregular breathing.

When Daein took out a potion from subspace and administered first aid, the pale children’s complexion returned slightly.

“Everyone, just hang on for a little while.”

Each and every one of them had talents similar to Lily’s.

If you take him in and treat him, you can expect a huge power increase for the entire dimensional allied forces in the future.

Of course, if you don’t want to fight, I have no intention of forcing you to fight.

It was then.

“Ugh…”

Perhaps thanks to the protection magic on her necklace, Wendy was the only one who was tossing and turning, trying to wake up.

The girl was sweating coldly as if she was having a nightmare.

Seeing that, the great man breathed a sigh of relief.

“For now, I think I’ve passed the critical point… I guess I should get out of here.”

The great man took the children and escaped from the intrinsic barrier.

Where he left, only the shattered remains of the necklace were left behind.

***

[[[Master!]]]

As soon as the great man came out, the family members who had been waiting outside the inherent barrier gathered around to check on his well-being.

However, there was no way Daein would be grateful just because the monsters who were once Pandemonium executives were worried about him.

“That’s it. Go and deal with the remaining remnants. “I brought all the important documents and anything worth money.”

[[I obey your command!]]

The family members were scattered in all directions.

Pandemonium, which lost its head, hands and feet overnight, was as if it had already disappeared.

The gang members who lost their command fell into extreme confusion, and the four monsters almost destroyed the labyrinth and disposed of the remnants.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

Hearing screams and loud noises coming from all directions, Daein took out his magic communicator and contacted someone.

“uh. it’s me. We solved Pandemonium and secured Armaan’s jewels. “There is a small problem… I will go there in a bit, so please take a look.”

“Oh, and there are some patients. These kids are sick, but they can’t recover well with potions alone. There’s some elixir left over there… “Why are you yelling?”

“Is the research going well? what? Are you saying I will be the first human to prey on your species? Anything is good at first… Wow. “I told you to calm down.”

The voice on the other end of the communicator continued to complain, saying, ‘I’m so busy because of you.’

However, Daein skillfully appeased the other person and elicited the answer he wanted.

“Then see you later. “As.”

After ending the call, Daein looked back.

From a little while ago, I felt a hint of popularity behind my back.

“Are you awake?”

“…….”

Wendy blinked her big eyes and looked up at the great man.

Unlike Lily’s bright red eyes, her jewel-blue eyes had a calm feel.

“I’m going to go to my friend’s house first. “After you and the kids recover, I will explain it to you step by step.”

“Ah…”

Tears formed around the girl’s eyes.

Thinking that Daein must have been frightened by the sudden situation, Daein bent his knees and was at eye level with the girl.

“You’re very surprised, aren’t you? Let’s at least talk to Lily on the phone…”

Wow.

Wendy hugged Daein’s neck tightly.

And he muttered in a tearful voice.

“Dad…”

“…Huh?”

It was a moment when the great man’s expression became grotesquely distorted.

[Power Up] End
