Chapter Title: The Pre-Regression History Has Changed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The history before my regression had changed.
Originally, they couldn't even break the barrier, let alone touch Urs.
But Jeong Hoon shattered the barrier, awakening Urs.
Not only that, NPC Rangrang jacked up the difficulty massively, sending the Urs subjugation difficulty through the roof.
As a result, countless users caught in Urs's annihilation ability lost their lives.
The Incarnation was among them.
Amelie! You okay?!
Yes I'm fine.
James Marcus had tenaciously survived.
If he hadn't scooped Amelie into his arms and gotten out of there, that annihilation would have claimed his life.
Amelie clutched her throbbing head and nodded.
Whew, that's a relief.
But what do we do about that thing?
Amelie asked with a troubled look.
She had keenly felt the gulf in power from the ability the Colossal God Soldier Urs had just unleashed.
I cant take it down.
No matter what they tried, they wouldnt be able to land so much as a scratch on the Colossal God Soldier Urs.
That was when it happened.
Uwoooooh
The Colossal God Soldier Urs let out an incomprehensible scream.
Plop
By then, Jeong Hoon had already destroyed one of its cores.
In that short time?!
James Marcus muttered in shock.
Jeong Hoon then stepped toward the next core with the Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon.
Uwoooooh
In response, the Colossal God Soldier Urs roared and swung its fist at Jeong Hoon.
The Colossal God Soldier Urs uses 'Ironclad.'
Ironclad.
In that instant, clusters of mana spheres materialized around Urs.
The spheres rained down on Jeong Hoon.
Damn.
Jeong Hoon scowled and executed the Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon.
He couldnt find an evasion route.
Still, a counter existed.
True Heavenly Demon Fist Technique.
Unleashing the Heavenly Demon Fist Technique granted temporary invincibility.
Jeong Hoon activated it the moment he judged evasion impossible amid the spheres.
Kwa-gwang!
Countless mana spheres crashed in his wake, the explosion resounding thunderously.
Now!
In that split second, Jeong Hoon lunged his fist at the adjacent core.
The difficulty had spiked, but the cores were vital points, so it shattered in an instant, just like the first.
Uwooooooh!
Urs screamed once more.
Losing two cores had inflicted far more damage than imagined.
A slight delay followed, and Jeong Hoon pressed on with the Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon, smashing yet another nearby core.
Keep it up like this.
Any holdup, and NPC Rangrang might pull another stunt.
He had to pulverize the cores as fast as possible and end it.
As Jeong Hoon relentlessly destroyed cores, the Colossal God Soldier Urs buckled and dropped to one knee.
Everyone, hit the cores!
Jeong Hoon bellowed at the users behind him.
Only then did the stunned onlookers scramble into action.
Traitors in the bunch, but Urs first.
The pre-regression betrayal memories made him itch to wipe them out right there.
Strictly speaking, though, they hadnt betrayed him yet.
That was why he only punished those who messed with him without mercy.
Jeong Hoons true revenge? Perfectly clearing this game.
Well help!
Seeing Urs writhe as Jeong Hoon wrecked its cores, the users grasped the strategy.
They dragged their overwhelmed bodies toward the cores.
Uwoooooh
Successive core destructions left Urs unable to stop them.
No! No way!
NPC Rangrang frantically tinkered with the dungeon controls.
But Urs, with its cores shattered, refused to heed him.
It had been designed to fall that way from the start.
Ullion! I beg you! Please!
He couldnt bear watching Urs get taken down.
Somehow, he had to revive it and eradicate every last one of those wretched humans.
That would max out the penalty, paving the way for Earths smooth destruction!
Additional directive issued.
Just then, a saving voice reached Rangrang.
It belonged to Maroon, a demon king-level transcendent under Ullions command.
Even to Rangrang, Maroon was an exalted figure.
Give me your orders!
I grant you full authority over Urs. Fail to eliminate them, however, and it wont be annihilationIll gift you eternal agony instead.
Rangrangs body trembled.
Eternal agony.
Better to be erased outright.
But Ullions commands were absolute.
Succeed this time, and hed finally become the transcendent hed always craved.
Ill make it happen!
Good.
Maroons voice cut off there.
Changing the settings so it wont collapse from core damage.
Glaring at the human leading the charge, Rangrang began altering the parameters.
Wuuung
Urss body began to vibrate faintly.
The beast that had knelt rose again.
Unlike before, destroying its cores elicited no response.
Changed it again, huh.
Jeong Hoons expression hardened.
The straightforward core-smashing strategy had been rendered moot.
What the hell? Whys it acting up again?
Mukho yelped in dismay.
Means we cant drop it just by wrecking all the cores anymore.
What?! So theres no way to beat it?!
No, there is. Dont worry.
A strategy existed.
And Jeong Hoon was the only one who knew it.
Just like the one I fought pre-regression.
He dredged up those memories.
A golem slightly different from the Colossal God Soldier Urs.
But the same strategy applied.
Shatter all the surrounding cores to immobilize it, then obliterate the internal one completely.
Back then, though, it hadnt sat idle.
Desperate to resist, it pooled its energy into a massive explosion.
That killed 23 comrades in the raid.
Even the survivors took heavy damagedespite the more evadable layout than this great cavern.
Now, Urs was sucking all remaining energy into its internal core, just like then.
Not my favorite memory, but whod have thought itd come in handy here.
Jeong Hoon closed in on Urs with the Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon.
A new barrier sprang up around Urs.
The same as the one that had originally sealed it.
As Urs hunched over, the energy buildup accelerated twofold.
Aiming to wipe out the entire great cavern, as expected.
No exits from the great cavern.
Everyone, Jeong Hoon included, dies? Party wipe. Dungeon failure. Penalty hits maximum.
Not happening.
Jeong Hoon laid his hand on the barrier.
The exact spot where hed cracked the incantation before.
Urss movement had shifted its position, though.
Stay calm.
He methodically scanned the barrier for the incantation.
Luck struck soon enoughhe found it and used his lens to shatter the barrier swiftly.
He reached Urss feet.
Wuuuung
Too busy gathering energy to block him.
Jeong Hoon extended his hand toward Urs.
He poured in a massive surge of his mana and holy power.
The rapidly amassing energy inside Urs went berserk and detonated.
Kwaaaaang
The massive blast unleashed a ferocious gale that battered Jeong Hoon and the users.
An internal explosion spared the great cavern, but the damage was still brutal.
Undeterred, Jeong Hoon kept channeling holy power and mana while probing for the core.
Pure mana wouldve kept it rampaging post-blast, but the holy power neutralized the reaction.
Now to pinpoint the spot among countless cores where the energy had gathered.
Jeong Hoon traced the path swiftly and located it.
The left flank.
Search complete, he fell back and nocked Anima, drawing the string taut.
He activated every buff skill and item at his disposal.
Ultimate Arrow.
He loosed the Ultimate Arrow straight at the flank.
Urs, reeling from the blast, couldnt reactthe arrow struck true, accompanied by a shattering crunch.
Kwajik!
Jeong Hoons lips curved upward.
Gotcha.
Victory assured, Urs crumbled in an instant.
The users whod survived gaped at Jeong Hoon in stunned silencethe unbeatable beast had fallen all too easily.
What? Its over just like that?
How the hell did he pull that off?
Mukho and Anima were just as shocked.
Its defense tanked hard from the explosion.
Disrupting the cores energy buildup left Urs groggy.
Jeong Hoon had seized the opening to locate and demolish the core before it recovered.
Even a slight delay wouldve let it snap out of it, dragging the fight and jeopardizing victory.

A list of the bosss items unfurled before Jeong Hoon.
He picked one without a second thought.

That made four in the set.

Jeong Hoon tilted his head.
What was this item for?
Curiosity piqued, but he tabled it for later.
Achieved 1st place in contribution.
Acquired Legendary Celestial Grade Item Box (Random) - 5050 odds.
Top contribution also netted him the item box Rangrang had offered.
Aaaaaagh!
Rangrang screamed.
Hed planned to annihilate every human in the great cavern via Urs.
Great Explosion.
The ultimate ability: pooling core energy into a cataclysmic blast.
It required a brief charge-up, of course.
He hadnt dreamed anyone would demolish Urs in that window.
Damn it! Shouldve gone with another tactic!
Regret was pointless now.
The dungeon was cleared. Ullion had lost an item.
He himself had items stolen by that human scum and faced eternal torment as punishment.
Rangrang dropped to his knees in haste.
Please, just one more chance!
He didnt want to vanish.
He craved the apostle seat for his merits.
No answer came.
No more chances.
His face drained white as he bowed frantically.
I beg you. Please
Still no reply.
Then came the searing agony of incineration, and he shrieked.
His body burst into flames.
Aaaaaagh!
Rangrangs screams echoed until his form was utterly consumed.
