Dimensional Sovereign

When he woke up in his bedroom, he was lying alone in bed and Hayun’s seat was empty.

That’s right, this was the real reality.

It was reality, not the virtual space created by Karosio.

Of course, Hayun wouldn’t be here.

Kang-jun got out of bed with a sigh.

’That was an unexpected surprise.’

It had been possible to create a virtual space in the gap between reality and Hwanmong.

Furthermore, with such an enormous temptation!

The demonic god called the Goddess of Destruction...

‘No matter how strong you are, your mind will collapse in an instant.’

These had been the last words Shadowless said to him.

However, Kang-jun had remained alert.

His mental state was very good, but he hadn’t been able to do anything against the terrible power of the Goddess of Destruction.

Luckily, thanks to Shaoniel’s tears, he had been able to escape from the crisis.

The probability was high that Karosio’s temptation wouldn’t end with just this one time.

Could he endure it if the temptation came again and again?

Even then, the tears of truth needed to be activated in order for him to bear the temptation.

There was a chance that the power of the tears of truth wouldn’t trigger at all.

He needed to be lucky. Regardless of how good Kang-jun’s luck was, he couldn’t expect such a thing every time.

‘Measures are necessary.’

Otherwise, he would become Karosio’s slave.

’Should I have something to eat?’

Kang-jun went out to the living room.

There was no one there.

Despite all the fancy furniture, the house seemed empty without Hayun.

“Lord!”

Then the door opened and Han Yeon-soo entered with a large smile.

“You woke up, Lord.”

“What are you doing so early in the morning?”

Kang-jun cried out in amazement and Han Yeon-soo lifted the bags held in both hands.

"As you can see, these are cooking ingredients. Hayun wouldn’t like Lord eating from the space.

The bags were filled with a large variety of ingredients such as vegetables and meat.

Kang-jun laughed.

“Thank you. You should also eat something.”

After consuming a lot of power to fend off Karosio in the virtual space, Kang-jun was starving.

Originally, he had planned to take out Hayun’s bean sprouts soup. However, Han Yeon-soo had prepared ingredients, so he couldn’t do that.

Others might fear the dark dragon, Cordin, but she was kind and gentle to Kang-jun.

Kiradak was now defending Earth, so the amount of work she had to do had decreased.

"By the way, I left Kim Hye-na in charge of the buildings that Hayun were managing.”

After Han Yeon-soo joined his household, she had taken the position as Kang-jun’s secretary while Kim Hye-na, the original secretary, had been dismissed.

Kim Hye-na’s abilities weren’t bad, so Han Yeon-soo hired her as a member of the Black Dragon Law Firm.

"Well done. You don’t need to bother reporting things like this.”

"Yes, Lord.”

Kang-jun was comfortable since he knew she could handle it.

After a while, Kang-jun finished the meal with Han Yeon-soo and moved to Kiradak’s warship.

In the meantime, there had been no special invaders aiming for Earth.

After encouraging Kiradak, he headed to Valles Planet that was millions of light years away.

He also looked at all the planets formerly colonized by Kiradak.

Nothing special happened, so he was only exposed to a light breeze.

Of course, his head was constantly trying to think of ways to overcome Karosio’s temptation.

He thought that something would inspire him if he walked around, rather than sitting in a corner.

However, he couldn’t come up with any specific countermeasures.

He tried to study the flow of destruction through meditation, but there weren’t many results.

He returned to Earth in frustration, then went fishing on the beaches of the South Pacific and watched the satellites orbiting Earth.

Of course, those were just his outward actions as his head was still deep in meditation.

‘The virtual space itself is a problem because there is no room for chaotic intervention, so we can’t use all our abilities. In the end, I just need to hope that the tears of truth are effective.’

His willpower didn’t work against the Goddess of Destruction.

So, this mental battle was hundreds of times tougher than fighting with a sword.

Just like that, three days passed instantly.

It was finally time to go to Hwanmong.

However, it was clear that the Goddess of Destruction would strike.

There was no guarantee that this was true, but Kang-jun prepared his mind.

As Kang-jun closed his eyes, the space surrounding him disappeared.

When he opened his eyes, loud club music was playing.

’What is this?’

This wasn’t Hwanmong.

There was loud music, strong lights and beautiful women dancing. The women were equally enchanting.

However, among them, there was one woman so enchanting that he couldn’t keep his eyes off her.

She was Karosio.

Under the sparkling lights and music, her fatal attractiveness shone even more.

‘Damn! She is acting again so soon.’

However, despite his grumbling, Kang-jun’s eyes were fixed on Karosio.

The dancers around her weren’t fascinating, yet her hand gestures, expressions and gaze seemed to captivate Kang-jun.

Should he just call it quits and live as Karosio’s slave?

It was a terrifying temptation that took over his will.

In the meantime, Karosio was moving closer to Kang-jun. She was wearing a provocative attire and was almost half-naked. It was more stimulating than complete nudity.

"Today, I will make you mine.”

"Shut up.”

Kang-jun tried to step back. However, it was just a thought as his body was kissing her without realizing it.

He had gotten excited after watching Karosio dance.

It had been more provocative than any stimulating foreplay.

Karosio was also in a heightened state of excitement.

Thanks to the failure last time, Karosio was in a hurry today.

However, Kang-jun’s body was more aggressive than hers.

He pushed her against the wall of the club and started to take her clothes off roughly, not caring who was watching.

‘I am such a bastard.’

As Kang-jun became outraged, it was like he was watching himself from somewhere else.

If this continued, it would be the end.

His body had become a slave to lust and he couldn’t control it.

This was despite him being the guardian of Hwanmong and having chaos power.

He felt disgusted with himself.

Then after some time...

Kang-jun felt something and closed his eyes.

The eyes of truth weren’t triggered. Unfortunately, he didn’t have that luck today.

However, Kang-jun ignored what his body was doing and focused on a single illusion.

He was observing the illusion of the energy of destruction.

Rather than an illusion, it was more just in his imagination.

The aura of destruction that made everything dark...

An infinite power that destroyed everything!

That was destruction.

What if he could control the energy of destruction completely?

In addition to going beyond the confusion of chaos, he wouldn’t need to fear the Goddess of Destruction anymore.

However, Kang-jun didn’t focus on the energy of destruction.

He looked at its essence amidst the destruction.

He had been dwelling on it constantly over the past few days, so was he seeing the benefits now?

In a crisis situation where his body had been turned into a slave, his mind had found a new breakthrough.

‘As it turns out, the essence of destruction being a new power is just a trick.’

It was more complete and powerful than chaos power, but it wasn’t so great.

Kang-jun started to see what the people in the Chaos Knowledge Scripts desired so badly.

Hwanmong!

That was it.

It was a power he already knew.

A mysterious power that had been created by the Hwanmong system!

The true source of Kang-jun’s power!

It wasn’t an abstract existence but a true power. It wasn’t something that could be handled like dimensional power or chaos power.

However, Kang-jun was assured that he could grab it.

Hwanmong power!

If he could understand and use Hwanmong, he would be an absolute existence...

An invincible existence in Hwanmong that no one could resist!

However, it was just up to there.

Unfortunately, Kang-jun couldn’t penetrate the wall.

He stopped just short of fully understanding the nature of destruction.

However, that alone caused a tremendous increase in combat power.

[You have understood the nature of destruction.]

[The enlightenment has give you a lot of experience and increased you level to 400.]

Despite not feeling the level rise in the virtual space here, it would be felt when he moved to reality or Hwanmong.

This was a place where only mental power existed.

Still, Kang-jun was tempted by Karosio in this virtual space.

At that moment, Kang-jun was just on the verge of joining with Karosio.

‘Hoho, the situation is over now.’

There was a smile of satisfaction on Karosio’s face as she gazed at Kang-jun.

’You are now my slave, Lucan.’

She had finally succeeded in luring him.

Her mind was inspired by the thought of making a slave from someone with the power of Hwanmong, one of the most mysterious powers in the dimensional system.

However, at that moment, Kang-jun’s eyes lit up.

The black energy of destruction was in his eyes and Karosio’s complexion changed suddenly.

’T-this!’

She felt a sudden change in Kang-jun.

It was clear that the energy of destruction was currently coming from his eyes.

No, strictly speaking, this was a place where the energy couldn’t exist. It was a place where only spirit could exist.

However, the meaning of his eyes were clear.

Kang-jun was able to change the very nature of destruction.

It was a power that belonged to the fundamental realm of destruction that even she couldn’t access.

Therefore, her attempts to seduce Kang-jun using the deadly charm of destruction wouldn’t succeed anymore.

It was natural since his energy of destruction was stronger than hers.

On the contrary, she was being tempted by Kang-jun.

The energy coming from Kang-jun’s eyes was tempting her.

‘Hah! This ridiculous...’

Karosio bit her lips to try and endure the temptation.

Joining with Kang-jun here wasn’t something she could afford to let happen.

She would immediately be sealed and defeated by Kang-jun. Then she would virtually be a slave.

It would be the worst situation.

"W-who are you? This is just ridiculous.”

Karosio trembled, then disappeared soon after meeting Kang-jun’s eyes.

‘Escape.’

At the moment, Kang-jun also knew what had happened.

If the situation was reversed and he took her, it would be possible to place her in the sealed world forever.

It was regrettable that she escaped. It had been a chance to seal the Goddess of Destruction, the incarnation of evil.

However, now, she could no longer create a virtual space for Kang-jun.

If she did, she was giving Kang-jun a chance to enslave her.

Karosio wasn’t stupid enough to do such a thing.

[The door to Hwanmong is open.]

The virtual space scattered and Kang-jun entered Hwanmong.

However, there was a group of demonic gods waiting for him.
