The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player Novel - Chapter 335
Chapter 335 – VS Chaos
‘Huh? Who is that person?’
Moros shuddered at the sight of his superior’s arrival and looked into Chaos’s eyes.
The gods watching were also perplexed.
[Isn’t that the God of chaos, Chaos?]
[Why is Lord Chaos here?]
[Wasn’t he supposed to be uninterested in our bets?]
[Does Lord Chaos also want to place a bet?]
[It doesn’t seem like it. If he had come to bet, he should be here with us, not on the battlefield.]
[Now that you mention it, you’re right.]
Chaos didn’t appear in the hall of the gods but directly at the celestial battlefield, as if intending to intervene personally.
[Is he thinking of getting directly involved…?]
[Even if it’s Lord Chaos, this isn’t right! It’s unfair!]
[Why would Lord Chaos do this?]
Although they didn’t know his motives, if his goal was to sow confusion among the gods, he had succeeded.
Confusion also reigned on the battlefield.
[What are those eyes?]
[It’s Lord Chaos.]
[What? Lord Chaos, the primordial god?]
[I’ve seen his image in the records room. It’s definitely him.]
[Why is Lord Chaos here…?]
Angels and demons alike stopped fighting and looked at the gigantic eye in the sky.
And soon, they realized that the terrifying gaze was focused on a single person.
[What a lucky human. I thought you died in the boss room, but here you are, alive.]
“……”
Ryu Min just stared at him.
Seeing him made the memories of his dead companions flood his mind as if it were yesterday.
[You have nowhere to run anymore.]
“Who said I was going to run? There’s someone here who only wants revenge on you.”
[Revenge? Ha, ha, ha!]
Chaos burst into laughter as if he had heard a very funny joke.
[You, seek revenge? Ridiculous. You’re nothing but a toy created by Gaia.]
Ryu Min’s eyebrows twitched, and his unchanging expression cracked upon hearing that unexpected name.
‘You knew it was Gaia’s doing?’
Gaia, the mother of life and also known as the creator goddess, was Chaos’s wife. Rubuahi had told him that both had collaborated to design the system that would turn humans into mercenaries.
‘But Chaos only provided the resources, the true designer was Gaia.’
Gaia was the real creator of the system and Rubuahi’s superior. Essentially, she was the deity who had elevated Ryu Min to oppose Chaos.
‘And he knew all that?’
Chaos had called him Gaia’s toy, confirming his suspicions.
[Damn wife. Pretending to be noble and receiving adoration from other gods while secretly creating a weapon to betray me.]
Chaos muttered and looked at Ryu Min with contempt.
[It’s ridiculous. To think a mere human could threaten me. It’s almost insulting.]
“Whether I’ll be a threat or not, you’ll only know when you experience it.”
[Haven’t you learned anything from last time? It’s unbelievable.]
A sigh was heard as Chaos blinked.
At that moment, Ryu Min’s body moved like a flash of light.
It was as if he had been waiting for that moment, activating the light speed rune to launch an attack in the instant of distraction.
‘Launch an attack with the greatest possible damage.’
Ryu Min, having activated the Seal of Death and using the power of the God of Death, flew alone towards Chaos’s eye in a world moving in slow motion.
Although he wanted to use his ultimate technique, Moonlight Slaughter, there wasn’t time for that.
‘The light speed rune only increases movement speed. There’s no time to use Moonlight Slaughter.’
The activation time for Moonlight Slaughter is one second. If Chaos detected Ryu Min’s movement during that second, he would probably block the attack.
‘If he detects me, it’s over. I can’t give him time to react.’
Additionally, Chaos has the cheat-like skill of Phase Shift, allowing him to dodge any attack with a speed of 0.1 seconds. A slow technique like Moonlight Slaughter would be easily evaded.
‘So I only have one option.’
Launch an attack so fast that Chaos can’t dodge it.
If he manages to dodge it, there will be no more options.
‘But can he block an attack as fast as light?’
This was the plan he had devised with Rubuahi.
‘Attack first and win!’
Ryu Min’s scythe cut through Chaos’s eye.
He didn’t feel any resistance.
But it seemed to have hit, as a stream of black liquid gushed from the eye like a fountain.
Very slowly, as in slow motion.
‘Did it work?’
Even though it was just a strike without any skills, it seemed effective.
Ryu Min raised his scythe to try again.
However, this time it didn’t work. Chaos’s eye became blurry.
The Phase Shift activated automatically, causing Chaos to retreat to an alternate space.
‘Tch, so I can only hit once, even if I move at light speed?’
It was disappointing but inevitable.
There was no way to attack Chaos while he was in another dimension.
‘First, I need to hide.’
Ryu Min opened his inventory and put on the assassin’s mask.
Removing the Thanatos helmet, the power of the God of Death also dissipated.
‘The power of the God of Death is no longer necessary if my attacks aren’t effective.’
Remembering the plan they devised with Rubuahi, he put on the doppelganger ring.
‘If Rubuahi’s plan works…’
It would be useful for hiding temporarily.
Wobble, wobble—
His nickname changed, and his face reverted to the old Lost Yak.
Hiding among the crowd where Chaos couldn’t see him, time returned to normal.
[Ahhhhh!]
A scream of pain shook the heavens and the earth.
With each blink, more black liquid gushed from Chaos’s eye.
[Damn insignificant human! How dare such an insignificant being do this to me!]
Chaos, struggling against the pain, opened a portal in space.
A death spear with a tracking function emerged, ready to be thrown.
[I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you right now…]
However, despite his words, Chaos couldn’t throw the spear.
Ryu Min had disappeared.
Looking around, Chaos couldn’t find him.
[Damn rat! Even if you hide…]
Chaos, thinking he would quickly find him with his tracking ability, blinked in surprise.
His gaze revealed confusion.
Chaos also tracked based on appearance and nickname.
That meant if he changed his appearance and nickname, he couldn’t find him.
[Damn rat! Where are you hiding? Where did you go?]
Frustrated, Chaos screamed, but all he could see were the angels and demons looking at him in confusion.
[Damn! I’ll find you and tear every limb from your body!]
Hidden among the crowd, Ryu Min let out a sarcastic laugh at Chaos’s screams.
‘Changing appearance and nickname really worked. He can’t find me.’
Rubuahi was right. Although his trust in him had increased a bit, it was still too early to celebrate. Chaos was still a threat.
‘No matter how strong he is, he wasn’t going to die from one hit.’
Although he didn’t manage to kill him, at least he discovered he could land an effective hit using the Light Speed Rune.
‘I’ve gained some time, but only a little.’
Chaos wasn’t stupid and would find a way to counterattack.
‘I must finish this round as quickly as possible and get the Stone of Desire.’
Ryu Min ordered the angels to resume the battle without Chaos noticing.
The battle angels, finally regaining their senses, attacked the demons with a war cry.
[Forward, attack!]
[Victory will be ours!]
Thousands of angels filled the sky, blending into confusion with the demons.
The demons, forbidden to counterattack, were quickly slaughtered.
[Ugh!]
[Argh!]
Unable to resist, the demons quickly fell in number.
Ryu Min also joined the battle, no longer needing to hide.
He cut down demons with his scythe without fear of being detected.
‘As large as Chaos’s eye is, its field of vision is limited. There are blind spots.’
Using the battlefield strategically, he hid in those blind spots.
Although he couldn’t avoid Chaos’s fury.
[How dare you wage war in front of me?]
Annoyed, Chaos opened a portal, summoning countless crimson spears.
They didn’t have a tracking function, but their destructive power was unquestionable.
[I didn’t want to intervene, but I can’t let that human get the Stone of Desire.]
Chaos muttered and blinked, causing the spears to rain down on the angels.
[Die and disappear, creatures of the sky!]
Pupupupupuk!
Puak, puak, puak!
[Argh!]
[Argh!]
Thousands of angels were pierced by the spears and died instantly.
‘As I thought, he’s trying to prevent me from completing the round.’
Outside the impact area, Ryu Min saw the spears regenerate and felt the urgency.
If Chaos continued killing angels at this rate, their number would quickly fall below 10%, ending the battle.
If Ryu Min lost, he would be annihilated without needing to be found.
‘I can’t waste time. I must reduce the number of demons faster than Chaos.’
There was no other option.
If killing Chaos was impossible, he had to at least get the Stone of Desire.
Watching the deadly spears continue to fall, Ryu Min ordered the demons to protect the angels.
The order was transmitted to all the demons.
Puak, puak!
The demons formed a human shield, pushing the angels and taking the spears in their place.
Surprised to see the demons protecting the angels, Chaos frowned.
[Have these demons gone mad? Are they all hypnotized? Why are they protecting the angels?]
Chaos didn’t realize that Ryu Min had become the Demon King.
At that moment, a chilling presence approached Chaos’s field of vision.
It was Ryu Min’s Moonlight Slaughter technique.
Although hundreds of demons disintegrated into dust in its trajectory, the technique didn’t lose momentum and closed in on Chaos.
[Did you really think such an insignificant attack could affect me?]
However, Chaos’s Phase Shift technique easily diverted the Moonlight Slaughter attack.
If he had a mouth, he would have smiled with disdain at that moment.
[Stupid. You’ve only revealed your location…]
Suddenly, Chaos was left speechless, his eyes wide in shock.
The attack he thought he had diverted had entered the dimensional space.
Right into the space he had retreated to.
[What?!]
Startled, Chaos quickly switched phase dimensions again.
He had almost been hit.
‘How is this possible? How could his attack track my dimension?’
He had had a similar experience in the boss room earlier.
The reflected damage from his own attack had tracked his location.
Chaos was frozen with fear, but it wasn’t over.
Ryu Min’s Moonlight Slaughter attacks, with the Crimson Moon technique activated, kept coming at regular intervals.
