The Broken Ranker

Devours Myths

Chapter 251

Two Faces (1)

The Jade Emperor suddenly understood what it meant for one’s ‘brain to stop functioning.’

‘…What just happened?’

Son Wukong had appeared before his eyes and suddenly punched him in the face.

Because of that, the crown on his head flew off, and as he rolled on the ground, his dragon robe was ruined…

‘How dare…!!’

Flames erupted from both corners of the Jade Emperor’s eyes.

In the distant past.

Since dragging the Heavenly Primogenitor, who was originally the leader of the 【Heavenly Court】, from the jade throne, had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Never.

Yet Son Wukong had reduced him to this state again.

The Jade Emperor quickly rose from his position and was about to burst into a roar, but,

Swoosh!

“Hey, you look so much better with a couple front teeth missing. Now it suits you perfectly.”

“…!?”

Son Wukong had somehow already reached right in front of the Jade Emperor.

At those casually thrown words, the Jade Emperor flinched while trying to summon the Ten Symbols of Longevity pattern embedded in his dragon robe.

However,

“Of course I’m bullshitting, you idiot. Did you actually believe that?”

“…!!”

What returned was only Son Wukong’s mockery.

And,

Thwack!

This time the Ruyi Jingu Bang drove into his abdomen.

But the Jade Emperor didn’t fall for it as helplessly as before.

The crane emblem drawn on the long sleeve part of his dragon robe’s arms glittered, and a crane’s two wings elegantly protected him.

[The Jade Emperor casts ‘Divine Authority: Elemental Dominion’!]

[The Jade Emperor activates ‘Sacred Relic: Ancient Ten Symbols Dragon Robe’!]

[Ancient Ten Symbols Dragon Robe]

Ancient Chinese emperors wore crowns and dragon robes while performing rituals to heaven and exercising absolute dominion over the earth.

As time passed, the patterns on dragon robes became diverse, sometimes featuring the Ten Symbols of Longevity representing longevity, or the Twelve Symbols representing the emperor.

-Type: Sacred Relic. Armor.

Thanks to this, the Jade Emperor suffered no significant injury this time, but his face was burning bright red with rage.

“Son Wukoooong!!”

“Why do you keep calling my name so rudely? Even without calling, I’m providing this kind of door-to-door service.”

Whoosh, thud!

Son Wukong performed a great somersault and landed on top of the Ruyi Jingu Bang planted in the ground.

Truly monkey-like miraculous body movements.

But his white hair fluttering in the wind was like a carpet, giving off a mysterious atmosphere.

“Really, I really really missed you, Jade Emperor.”

Son Wukong crossed his arms and smiled, showing his fangs clearly.

“How happy and joyful I am right now… you wouldn’t know. You wouldn’t know even if you died.”

At that moment,

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

As Son Wukong and the Ruyi Jingu Bang wavered, dozens of phantoms with identical forms and presence appeared, surrounding the Jade Emperor.

“…!!”

Clone technique.

Before the technique that symbolized Great Sage Equal to Heaven Son Wukong, the Jade Emperor unconsciously panicked and stepped back,

“Look at this. How much I must have missed you to split myself this much.”

“Look at this. How much I must have missed you to split myself this much.”

“Look at this. How much I must have missed you to split myself this much.”

The words spoken by dozens of Son Wukongs in identical tone and manner echoed like an echo.

[■■■■■ Son Wukong has activated Clone Technique!]

[‘Trait: Fighting Style’ is applied, adjusting the tier.]

[All ‘Sacred Relic: Golden Eyes of Truth’ are firmly fixed on the Jade Emperor.]

Flash!!

Simultaneously, dozens of pairs of Golden Eyes of Truth blazing with light.

“So now, please.”

“So now, please.”

“So now, please.”

“Just die, will you?”

“Just die, will you?”

“Just die, will you?”

Swooooosh!!

Dozens of Son Wukongs launched themselves forward in unison.

Some Son Wukongs kicked off the air fiercely and struck down at the Jade Emperor with their staffs, while others slid across the ground and collided with the Jade Emperor head-on.

Son Wukongs cleverly penetrating blind spots with stealth techniques, Son Wukongs stabbing at his waist from left and right, Son Wukongs riding Somersault Clouds and dropping thunder and lightning from the sky,

Son Wukongs popping up from the ground like moles to attack his lower body, or Son Wukongs who had no intention of fighting and kept taunting from far behind…

“Hey, didn’t you have something going on with Dragon Princess, if I remember correctly?”

“But I don’t see her?”

“Did she dump you? She dumped you, didn’t she?”

“Well, your face is a bit… not great, right?”

“Your oral structure is quite unique. Your mouth protrudes too much. Though you’d probably be more comfortable kissing since the distance is closer than others?”

“Oh, but you don’t get chances to kiss, so that doesn’t matter?”

“Will you not shut uuuup!!”

With too many Son Wukongs appearing, the Jade Emperor was completely unable to collect himself.

It was far too chaotic.

Ukiki, uki. It felt like being trapped in a Monkey Den.

“Shut uuuup!”

“I can’t take it anymoooore!”

“Pahahahat!”

“What will you do if you can’t take iiiit!”

“These bastards… how dare!!”

Son Wukong’s clones each had different appearances and movements, but they had several things in common.

They all targeted the Jade Emperor.

And they were all smiling brightly.

They were all enjoying this moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Then one Son Wukong closed the distance with the Jade Emperor and thrust his Ruyi Jingu Bang with full force.

Such tremendous air-rending force that it seemed like the atmosphere itself might shatter.

The Jade Emperor tried to defend himself by arranging turtle-patterned barriers around his body, but each time, cracks kept spreading across the patterns.

Paaaaat!

And then came the rising leg technique, like drawing a sword.

Kwaaaaang!!

“…!!!”

The Jade Emperor’s face turned bright red with rage.

‘His rank should have definitely fallen…! Even if he regained his divine status, he hasn’t recovered all his names yet, so how…!?’

This was the most puzzling part for the Jade Emperor.

Neither Son Wukong nor the Bull Demon King had regained their chief deity rank yet, so how could they display this level of power?

“Your Majesty!!”

“Get away from His Majesty!”

General Irang and Leijinzi rushed in belatedly to restrain Son Wukong, but,

Bang! Kwabang!

The Ruyi Jingu Bang mercilessly planted itself in the ground before them as well, blocking their approach.

“Oh my, where do you think you’re going?”

“From here on, this is the place where the Jade Emperor and ‘we’ have our intimate rendezvous?”

“You need permission to enter.”

“By any chance, did you come to check how much it costs?”

“Customer, want to get beaten? Huh? Want to get beaten?”

[Son Wukong grins wickedly while looking at General Irang.]

[Son Wukong seems very pleased, saying it looks like new lightning has appeared to give as a gift to his disciple.]

“…!”

“…!!”

With the Three Celestial Generals’ approach completely blocked,

Whiiiiing!!

Son Wukong’s offensive now broke through the dragon scales that were protecting the Jade Emperor and drove into his right chest.

And then came the follow-up flying kick.

Peoooooook!!

“Kuk…!”

The Jade Emperor floated up into the air once more and rolled on the ground.

‘Why!’

The Jade Emperor’s eyes blazed bright red.

‘Why…!’

“Curious, aren’t you? How I can beat you up like this when I haven’t even fully recovered my rank, and why my dominance doesn’t work on you. Right?”

“…!?”

As if reading the Jade Emperor’s thoughts, Son Wukong’s mockery followed.

“…You.”

“If you’re curious, it’s five hundred won.”

“You…!!”

“If you don’t like it, forget it. But if I search your corpse and find money, it’s ten won per hit?”

“You mock me!!”

“Oolong tea? Should I mock you?”

“Aaaaah! I’ll kill you!!”

“Jjukyeoborindaaaaaa.”

“Oh my, how scary.”

“Aaaaah!!!”

Son Wukong’s clones were quite pleased with the reaction of the Jade Emperor, whose eyes had gone half-mad.

‘I tried copying that brat appropriately and it worked perfectly?’

‘Why is this guy so naturally talented at getting under people’s skin?’

‘I should ask if there’s anything more.’

When he was the one getting irritated, it annoyed him more than once or twice.

But seeing the opponent getting thoroughly irritated like this felt very good.

It was like a feeling of his chest opening up completely?

Meanwhile,

Griiind!

The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth tightly and activated attribute domination once more.

Kwaddddddeuk!

Instantly, the world surrounding the Jade Emperor began to twist with creaking sounds.

A Divine Authority that could forcibly activate suppressive power on anything within his sight.

[The Jade Emperor activates ‘Divine Authority: Attribute Domination’ to declare powerful dominance over the area!]

[The atmosphere turns into poison.]

[Gravity increases twofold.]

…

For some unknown reason, it hadn’t worked well on Son Wukong so far, but after composing himself properly, surely it would work somehow.

Since he summoned so many clones like that, his rank and divine power must be dispersed, making him easier to control…!

Hwaaaak!

At that moment, a pair of dark blue dokkaebi flames rose behind the Jade Emperor.

『To look away when I’m here. Your courage is truly admirable.』

It was the Bull Demon King.

“…!!!”

He didn’t know how many times he had to be surprised like this in one day.

Buuuuung!!

The Bull Demon King swung Pangu with great force while his eyes blazed fiercely with Honyosan.

The atmosphere tore as an axe larger than the Jade Emperor’s body exploded forth.

Crash!

[Divine Authority has been forcibly canceled due to external pressure.]

[Penalty is applied.]

The sound of space bursting.

The Jade Emperor had to roll around disgracefully once again.

Terrible pain.

With the penalty added on top, his entire rank shook and he couldn’t possibly regain his composure.

When he got up again, he belatedly realized that his left arm had been torn off and was gone.

“You guys…!”

『What a pathetic sight. Yes. This appearance suits you well.』

“You guys dare to me!!”

『But weren’t you in the middle of facing me? I hope you haven’t forgotten whose turn it is.』

And then came the continuous bombardment.

Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaaang!!

The Bull Demon King’s axe technique was as relentless as his size that covered the sky, to the point where the Jade Emperor couldn’t regain his composure at all.

The domain of attribute domination would be created only to be destroyed repeatedly,

And even when General Irang, Leijinzi, and Taktak Cheonwang tried to intervene to protect him somehow, it wasn’t easy to approach due to the gale winds caused by the axe technique.

Plus the blocking by the ever-increasing Son Wukong clones.

And….

[The flames of 【Gehenna】 begin to boil. They have finished preparing to overflow onto the surface at any moment.]

[The demonic poison of sulfur fire spreads throughout the Sacred Realm!]

From a while ago, the air in the Sacred Realm had begun to mix with the smoke of sulfur fire.

A demonic poison that causes infection to divine power through mere exposure.

The appearance of this extreme poison, which could only be obtained by squeezing demons down to their very souls,

gradually dulled the steps of the Jade Emperor, who had to endure both Bull Demon King’s tempest and Son Wukong’s rampage.

His breath became increasingly labored and blocked.

Moreover,

“Ah, seriously, this big brother is too much!!”

“Can’t you see I’m having a good time right now!?”

“How can you butt in like this! Ugh! Line-cutters should back off! Back off!”

『Don’t talk nonsense. I had my eye on this one first. You’re the one who butted in like a thunder-naked fool.』

“I threw the first punch though!”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

“Then he’s mine!”

『I cannot agree. By that logic, would all stolen goods belong to the thief?』

On top of that, there was even the bickering between Son Wukong’s clones and Bull Demon King as they argued over ownership (?) of him.

They worked together so well that one might wonder if they were really enemies at all.

‘These bastards… taking me for a fool…!!’

Son Wukong’s clones, with whatever skill they possessed, nimbly dodged around within the tempest created by Bull Demon King while attacking the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor now felt like he might collapse from apoplexy, having surpassed the level of mere rage.

A sense of crisis that things might truly become dangerous at this rate.

However,

the biggest problem was,

[The chief god of 【Asgard】, Odin, continues to watch you with his single eye.]

[The scribe of 【Malaḥ】, Metatron, nods at the increasingly balanced scales.]

[The gods of 【Olympus】 show no intention of intervening on your behalf.]

…

[Most of the Divine Faction has chosen to wait and see!]

That even in this situation, the gods were just standing by.

Some, like Odin, even mocked the Jade Emperor for being pushed back by the fallen Son Wukong and Bull Demon King.

Even though this was an era of every man for himself, once he was dealt with, their turn would surely come next…!

[The Demonic Faction mocks the pathetic battle of the 【Heavenly Court】.]

[The Dragon Faction wonders how many treasures will spill out if the 【Heavenly Court】 is destroyed.]

[Most of the Giant Faction declares neutrality.]

‘If only the Outer Sea would intervene quickly…?’

[The leader of 【Daeva】, Brithra, coldly retorts asking if it would be that easy.]

Then suddenly came a message from Brithra.

[The sovereign of 【Asura】, Mahabali, declares that the crime of daring to break the ‘covenant’ will be severely punished.]

‘…How do they know about this…!’

The Jade Emperor’s thoughts suddenly turned somewhere.

‘Could it be, Nezha!!’

[Nezha has succeeded in destroying the altar that connected to the Outer Sea just moments ago!]

[Nezha and his subordinate 28 Constellations look at the Jade Emperor with grave eyes.]

Only then did the Jade Emperor realize.

“Ah, if you were waiting for the situation to be handed over to the Outer Sea, you’d better wake up from that dream.”

The fact that Son Wukong and Nezha had set a trap.

A trap to catch him.

“They came over to our side just a while ago.”

“…!!”

And,

that fact spread throughout all of the Heavens.

[The Demonic Faction swears to tear you apart without fail, even if you return to the Heavens.]

[The Dragon Faction declares they will banish you from the Heavenly Realm following Brithra’s opinion.]

[The Giant Faction maintains neutrality…]

[Most of the Divine Faction turns away from you!]

[The Jade Emperor has been designated as a public enemy!]

The Jade Emperor’s complexion hardened completely.
