Overgeared

Chapter 2055

“Finally... Ack!!”

Chiyou’s face twisted in pain. The death he had dreamed of for eons was more terrible than he had imagined. His stopped heart silenced his world. His cold blood made everything go dark. He felt as if he was floating.

It was painful. He was scared. An overwhelming sense of loss came over him...

“Chiyou...”

“Gri... d...”

The image of Grid was reflected in Chiyou’s dim eyes. Grid was gritting his teeth as if he was witnessing something sad.

Chiyou recalled the first time he met Grid. At that time, Grid had been weak, but even then he’d had unlimited potential. He had been like the sun even among the yangbans.

Chiyou welcomed death with open arms.

“My discerning vision... As expected, I wasn’t wrong...”

While Chiyou had been observing him, Grid had faced many trials. However, Grid had overcome each and every one of them without getting discouraged. He had finally made it to where he was today.

You have become more distinguished than me...

Chiyou was turning to ash and didn’t even have the energy to open his mouth. Thus, he spoke using intent.

[Grid. You are the Only One God now.]

The noble status of the Martial God remained honorable even in the moment of irreversible death. He engraved his intent on the entire world.

[I, Martial God Chiyou, was killed by the Great Grid. This is eternal annihilation.]

Once Chiyou’s defeat spread to the world, the gray energy that consumed him became even more powerful.

[The Martial God status has been attributed to Grid.]

The Martial God, envied and feared by all the beings in the world, was now just one of the concepts that made up Grid.

Chiyou was rapidly weakening. Even if several miracles occurred at this very moment, it was impossible to save him.

“Chiyou...!”

[Is this how it feels for my soul to die? It’s more painful than what I was prepared for. An indescribable sense of loss is coming over me.]

There were clear tears in Chiyou’s single remaining eye.

[...How ridiculous and disgusting my desire must be in the eyes of human beings who die after living for only decades.]

There were countless people in the world who were struggling to survive even one more day. Unlike them, Chiyou only chased death. It was only now when he was on the brink of death that he realized he was a tremendous sinner.
