Chapter 141- Their plan

Jin-Woo had assimilated Ashborn's memories and knew what he had to face in order to completely bring this chaos to an end.

The strongest Monarch to this date would be his opponent and along with that being, the other Monarchs have been resurrected as well.

Since it was Haru who confirmed other Monarchs' revival Jin-Woo didn't show any more doubt regarding the matter.

Now the problem was the three different forces which would attack the human side.

The Rulers who have betrayed the heavens would have their forces and their personal strength cannot be taken easily.

The second comes the other five Monarchs who would be taking a separate route from Antares in this war. Their armies of dungeon dwellers can go toe to toe with Jin-Woo's shadow army—however, again, the casualties from the human side would be severe.

Although Jin-Woo had a plan to lure Antares away from Earth, he knew the other Monarchs wouldn't follow his lead and they would purposely destroy the planet and the people whom Jin-Woo held close to his heart.

That's why this war was something on which various things depended.

Until now Jin-Woo has made several plans about how he would take the foes while keeping the hunters and the public safe. But now, after Haru arrived and declared his plan, Jin-Woo found the other preparations were no longer necessary.

"Are you sure you can isolate them? They would be thousands in numbers." Jin-Woo's eyes narrowed a little before he asked, "You are not planning on pulling something like what you did at that time right? I can't have my sister cry for the next eight months again."

Haru snickered, "Is this your way to say that you are concerned for me, Sunbae?"

Jin-Woo looked away and crossed his arms on his chest, "Doesn't matter. What really matters is what you are planning on doing."

Haru heaved a sigh before disclosing something that surprised Jin-Woo,

"The Dragon King might not be targeting you, Sunbae."

"...what?"

Haru turned to look at his senior before he informed him, "As from what I could tell, Antares is interested in fighting someone strong...and the other Monarchs have majorly seen me fight before. That's why they must have blabbered a lot about me in front of him."

Jin-Woo narrowed his eyes before asking, "So you are saying that the other Monarchs set him up against you?" Seeing the other one nod, the Ruler of Death asked again, "But why? Are they taking me for granted and would try to corner me?"

Haru chuckled, "Without prying into the minds of those Monarchs I could tell that they fear you...probably more than Antares. And also their goal isn't to corner you."

Situating his gaze out of the window, he added, "They are looking out to revive the Supreme Ruler."

"---!!!" Jin-Woo's eyes were parted like never before hearing that name.

The Supreme Ruler or the Absolute Being was the deity who created the Monarchs and the Rulers—among which Ashborn belonged. The power to rule over death was something Ashborn obtained from the Absolute Being and the reason why this ever-lasting war continued for so many years was also that being.

The one who holds the ability of 'Creation'.

And Haru says that the enemy forces are trying to revive such a being?

Jin-Woo had more than one reason to be shocked.

Haru allowed him to relax for a moment as he summoned a coffee for himself and slowly sipped on it.

"....how are they planning on doing that?" Although Jin-Woo knew that no one knew everything, he believed that Haru might be aware of the process by which the Monarchs could create the God of Creation.

Haru dissolved the emptied cup into the air before he drew an infinity in front of him which levitated freely.

"If we consider this the Absolute Being, then..." After tearing the Infinity into two parts, Haru added, "...the either part can be regarded as the fragments of the Infinity. Right?"

Jin-Woo nodded, albeit a little hesitant.

Haru lifted the left part a little and said, "You can regard this as the Darkness or the creation of the Absolute Being which symbolises Darkness...that is Monarch."

Taking a pause he added, "And the other half, that is light can be regarded as the Rulers."

Jin-Woo hummed with his brows knitted.

"I can't be sure of this but if thought carefully, why is the Dragon Monarch so strong that he can single-handedly beat all his brethren?"

Jin-Woo told him without any hesitation, "Just speak your mind."

Haru heaved a sigh while feeling his shoulders weighing with the trust of his Sunbae, "Well...you can say that there might be some fragment of the Absolute Being inside the Monarch of Destruction."

Jin-Woo asked soon after, "You mean, the reason Antares is so strong is because he has the fragment of the Absolute One?"

"Yep...and if the Fragment of Darkness can be brought together with the Fragment of Light," As he said he brought the two broken pieces together; urging Jin-Woo to say,

"Then it's possible to revive the Almighty One."

Har gave a slow nod to that and the Infinity slowly disintegrated.

Jin-Woo remained silent for some moments and contemplated. What Haru was suggesting here held credibility and given the Monarchs were aware of the danger Haru might pose for them, they must have prepared another plan other than Antares.

Suddenly Jin-Woo's eyes widened as he turned toward Haru and asked, "If to revive the Absolute Being, both fragments are required, then isn't Ashborn's soul the other fragment which they might need?"

Given that Ashborn was the strongest Ruler, Jin-Woo came to that conclusion. However,

"Unlike Antares, who was born strong, Ashborn rose to that height with his own strength. So no, he isn't the Fragment of Light."

Haru cleared out the misunderstanding and inwardly sighed in admiration for the former Shadow Monarch. From what he knew, Ashborn was the only one who went against both Monarchs and Rulers while he was at his peak and held his ideals above all.

Jin-Woo shared the sentiment but at the moment he was more focused on the matter relating to the Absolute Being.

"Then Haru...who is the Fragment of Infinity?"

Haru shook his head before correcting him, "It isn't a person, Sunbae."

Focusing his crystalline eyes on the Shadow Monarch, Haru added, "The Fragment of Light which can become the source of Absolute Being's revival is the source through which this world has gotten so many revivals."

Jin-Woo's frown deepened as some words left his lips, "Cup of Reincarnation."
