The Reincarnate Became a Professor at the Academy

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor (3)



The Divine King reached out towards me.

Then.

Crackle.

A blue lightning embedded itself within my body.

'Blue lightning.'

I stared blankly at the lightning bestowed by the Divine King.

The first impression I felt was strength.

The Divine Thunderbolt I used.

It had similarities. However, the Divine Thunderbolt was modified to accept starlight.

This one was stronger than the Divine Thunderbolt, but it could not accept starlight.

'Still, it's not exactly the same.'

I might be able to merge this with the Divine Thunderbolt.

There was one more problem.

'This…'

A shackle.

That was the overwhelming feeling I got whenever I used it.

Or perhaps, by embedding itself in my body, the Divine King could observe the outside world through me.

'I don't like it.'

But it was worth researching.

-Do you like it?

"It feels like a shackle, so not really."

-There's no choice. That's because it is a myth that began with me.

"Hmm."

The Divine King was smiling at me.

Accepting the blue lightning and using it was my choice.

However, in exchange for granting me this power, I must accept a degree of their oversight.

'That's what he's saying, anyway.'

I laughed.

Perhaps, this one thought I'd use it just as it was.

'I should keep this for a while.'

I frowned and said.

"This feels a bit unpleasant."

Impudent…!

The man called Wisdom grimaced, speaking in a displeased tone.

To dare say it's unpleasant after receiving the Divine King's lightning?

"What, you're still here?"

Truly arrogant…

Enough.

The Divine King stopped Wisdom.

Indeed. This is… a necessary measure for us, but it may be unpleasant for you.

He said that and looked at me.

I will open the treasure vault.

The Divine King said so, looking at me.

It is a place where the treasures gathered by the gods in the Great Divine War are stored. We have kept things we do not necessarily use there.

"In other words, it's a junkyard?"

-Don't take it too negatively. We placed things there that we, as gods, cannot use.

"So, it is a junkyard."

I glanced at Yoo Eunchae, who was nodding vigorously.

'Is it a dump, but with some decent stuff in it?'

I pretended to ponder.

Looking displeased, I frowned and gazed at the Divine King.

-There will be many things you need there.

"It doesn't seem worth it. Is that all I get for bearing these shackles?"

Crackle.

A blue lightning spark jumped from my hand.

Crackle, crackle, crackle.

A blue lightning rested in my hand.

Playing with the lightning, I realized its properties.

'This…'

Divine Thunderbolt.

The attribute of destruction it possessed. And it had other attributes as well.

A force mixed with various elements, making it hard to identify.

…Ultimate Art.

To put it in order, it carries a kind of ultimate attribute.

A divine power distribution greater than what I use.

'This is more worth researching than I thought.'

Rather than the lightning itself, it was something that showed how to enhance the ultimate art.

That was how I judged it.

Because that was not what's important right now.

-You're already handling it like that?

That idiot Wisdom's stunned voice rang out.

I ignored him and looked at the Divine King.

The Divine King was staring at me with gleaming blue eyes.

'It's absurd.'

The Divine King flashed a blue lightning as he gazed at Han Seojin.

The Divine King's lightning.

This was no ordinary lightning. Though he had handed over a fragment of his own lightning, it wasn't something that could be handled so easily.

'A dangerous one indeed.'

As the Divine King, he had reigned for a long time and witnessed several brilliant talents.

They possessed the talent to become stars.

The Divine King personally selected them, enabling them to attain divinity.

Constellations.

To ensure their names were not forgotten, he made them apostles.

The Divine King and the apostles of the Great War were known as constellations, and when they needed to intervene in the human world, they used their powers.

However.

Never before had he seen such an outstanding, dangerous existence.

The lightning he wielded was not ordinary.

The lightning was created by absorbing the magical power of this peculiar and dangerous land called the Boundary.

He handled it with ease.

What was more frightening was that he had already killed the entity known as the 'Demon King.'

Despite not even being a Transcendent, the messenger said it was done with one-sided violence.

For some reason, the Demon King's immortality seemed ineffective against him.

That's why he thought he would be a useful weapon.

But seeing him handle lightning changed his mind.

'I must not turn this one into an enemy.'

If.

He must not turn the existence before his eyes into an enemy.

If he became an enemy.

'I must kill him without fail.'

A fleeting intent to kill in those blue eyes.

It quickly subsided again.

So swiftly that no one here noticed.

Except for one person.

'Interesting.'

Han Seojin thought with a serene expression.

'I didn't think he was such a good guy.'

He didn't expect him to show his killing intent so readily.

The treasure vault.

"Hmm?"

You may take whatever pleases you from the vault of the gods.

"Oh…"

Of course, there are conditions.

"Can't it be without conditions?"

-No, it can't. While we gods don't need it, the apostles' constellations might.

The Divine King then mentioned the condition he had in mind.

-One per person.

"That's quite stingy."

-Just because we don't need it doesn't mean you don't either.

Han Seojin pondered over the Divine King's words.

'Does that mean it was necessary for him?'

He thought of Yoo Eunchae.

Still, it was not bad since he can secure things for his disciples.

"If it's one per person, what's the limit?"

The limit includes those you call disciples and those who can reasonably be considered acquaintances.

"That's good enough."

Not bad.

Then let me guide you.

"Are you going to do it? I prefer someone else. For example, the straw over there."

Han Seojin spoke as he looked at Wisdom. Wisdom was holding back his anger, his earlobes bright red.

Do not torment him. He was a being who ruled as a calamity. It's not easy for someone worshipped for thousands of years to remain humble.

"I'm being sincere."

…Even if you take Wisdom with you, the restrictions on what you can bring remain.

"That's a bit unfortunate."

Han Seojin turned away without hesitation.

Then.

Whoosh.

Strange.

A very strange sensation wrapped around his entire body and left.

Han Seojin glanced at the Divine King.

The tranquility of the boundary is breaking.

"What a bad taste."

One needs this level of unease to feel the tension. Only then will they stay vigilant.

The Divine King said with a smile.

Calling it an alarm is in poor taste. For a moment, I almost instinctively drew the Limitless Soul.

What should I say?

It felt like a robber with a knife pressing it against my neck.

One couldn't help but be on guard.

If you considered whether the effect was certain, it definitely was.

Anyway, it's nothing much. Just a brief commotion. The demons appeared without fear.

"Really?"

For that, the alarm was too eerie.

Well, it's none of my business.

"Let's go, Yoo Eunchae."

It was time for her to do what she did best: stealing.

We headed to the gods' treasury.

Treasury.

When I heard that word, I had a guess.

'They do seem to value aesthetics quite a bit.'

Here and there, quite nice-looking items caught my eye.

Of course, it wasn't by my standards, but by the students' standards.

'They really don't seem to need it.'

High Realm to Supreme Realm.

It was suitable for those at that level to use.

'As for weapons, there's the Black Flame King Sword and the Wind God's Spear.'

There's also armor.

Transparent Mystic Armor. It was surprisingly decent, so I was wearing it around.

'What do I need?'

At this point, even the elixirs weren't showing much effect.

I looked around and picked up the most beautiful necklace I could find.

"That one, it's dangerous."

"What, is it cursed or something?"

"If you wear it, there's something called the Witch's Wrath that makes some annoying creature follow you."

"Is it a transcendent being?"

"Not exactly…"

"Then it's fine."

It seemed more fitting for Elwen, so I'll give it to Elwen.

"You pick out something for the others."

I looked around, needing to find earrings suitable for Cheon Murin.

'This one isn't bad.'

A necklace crafted in an Eastern style, not Western.

It wasn't too flashy, yet it had a subtle charm.

I preferred such things.

Boom!

By the time I picked up the earrings,

A terrifying shockwave rippled through.

'So much for "nothing serious."'

I could feel it from afar.

The ominous lingering of demonic energy.

"This, this is…"

"It seems like we should gather our gear quickly."

Because the situation outside seemed more dire than expected.

We stepped outside.

No one hindered us as we exited.

Instead, they offered us additional armaments, trying to assist us.

There were no movements to obstruct us.

'As expected.'

When we received the report, there was a disturbing demonic presence.

No doubt, a figure of a Demon King level had arrived.

'At least two?

Maybe even more.

If so, I had to be prepared.

'Because I want to create a proper Manifestation of Thoughts soon.'

Limitless Soul.

It wasn't completed properly because of the kaleidoscope.

The Manifestation of the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.

I wanted to deal with it as soon as possible.

-Hey.

As I stepped outside,

A gigantic sword aura greeted us.

"Ugh!"

"What is this…!!"

"…?!"

Everyone grabbed their weapons and took a defensive stance.

I wasn't like that, but it wouldn't have been strange if the others envisioned their heads being cut off.

'I didn't really want to see this guy.'

His face was hard to discern, hidden under a deeply worn bamboo hat.

The figure, clad in traditional Eastern attire, was looking down at us.

Sword Demon King.

He was blocking our path.
