A Terminal Healer Needs an Obsessive Maniac-Chapter 143

However, to relay the 'future knowledge' to Ryu Seo-Ha without any loss of information, the valuable experience of "Choi Kang-Hu who survived the Abyss" must not be erased.

Of the two paths before him, one guaranteed a smooth, uneventful life without hardships, while the other offered the hard-earned truth of love discovered after overcoming trials. There was no need to hesitate; Choi Kang-Hu’s choice had already been made. Having tasted a radiant paradise, there was no way he would choose a mundane hell. No other option even crossed his mind.

'The best way to convey it is through the form he enjoys—novels.'

He transmitted the information from the timeline where he had survived to Ryu Seo-Ha’s past life, reducing the resource consumption by using the form of a novel as the medium.

‘And to ensure the transmitted information is clearly retained after his reincarnation…’

[SYSTEM: Will you expend 93,478 days of lifespan to interfere with entity #S1272-EX1's timeline from 20XX.12.24-T0.0707?]

He enhanced Ryu Seo-Ha’s memory retention to an abnormal level, ensuring that the information from the "original" would be remembered vividly and accurately upon his reincarnation.

‘As for dealing with the Four Apostles, that’s my responsibility.’

In this newly fixed future, Choi Kang-Hu also ensured that Ryu Seo-Ha wouldn’t have to stain his hands with the murders he had previously committed. He didn’t want his tender-hearted lover to bear such a burden—he could clearly foresee how much Seo-Ha would suffer, even if he tried to hide it.

“Choi Kang-Hu!”

Suddenly, Ryu Seo-Ha’s urgent voice echoed, just as Choi Kang-Hu finished making a few additional, minor interventions.

Boom!

At the same moment, a terrifying wave of energy erupted around them as the powerful higher beings of the Black Wing faction began to surround them. Still, Choi Kang-Hu didn’t remove his hand from the main core.

‘I’ll make it mine.’

He had no intention of leaving such a valuable object in the hands of higher beings, as they had foolishly done for eons. His mana spread wide, protecting Ryu Seo-Ha while securing ownership of the main core.

The secret to the core's longevity, its ability to exist for countless eons without external interference, lay in its self-sustaining, rotating rings. If Choi Kang-Hu could shift the rotational axis of the core to himself, it wouldn’t be impossible to carry the ‘central control system of all worlds’ like a mobile phone.

[Skill ‘Gravitational Wave’ has been activated.]

Using the skill he had recently obtained after devouring the core of a higher being, Choi Kang-Hu carefully interfered with the rotational motion of the main core. He could feel the rings of light gradually shifting.

───!

The higher beings, sensing the threat, let out piercing cries and launched their attacks, but the powerful waves emanating from the core as it slowly transferred to Choi Kang-Hu blocked their approach.

‘Tsk.’

The problem was the "worlds" attached to the rings of light like overgrown fruit. Even with Choi Kang-Hu’s remarkable control, there was no way to manage all of them simultaneously.

In the end, he had to expend more than a quarter of his remaining lifespan to issue a command through the main core to sever the connections with all the "worlds." Once disconnected, the separated "worlds" seemed to continue functioning without issue.

Then, he used another third of his lifespan to reduce the main core to a more manageable size. Now, the control center of all the worlds had been shrunk to the size of a bottle cap, and Choi Kang-Hu swiftly stored it in his [Subspace].

“Ryu Seo-Ha.”

With his hands now free, Choi Kang-Hu scooped up his lover and, with a quick glance at the higher beings closing in, smirked.

“Shall we enjoy an upgraded version of the whack-a-mole game?”

The Yeoui Sword, which responded to the will of its wielder and scaled up in size, morphed into a gigantic blade that temporarily blocked the approach of the nearly immortal higher beings, matching their level of power.

“...Didn’t we skip too many intermediate steps?”

Ryu Seo-Ha, suppressing a laugh at the absurdity of the situation, slipped the pocket ring back onto his finger. Ruby, fluttering nearby, wrapped her wings protectively around Seo-Ha, whose body had shrunk so small it could easily fit in his lover’s palm.

“If you’re scared, feel free to just watch from the safety of my arms.”

With a playful tilt of his head, Choi Kang-Hu teased, his tone as light-hearted as if he were about to play a game with a friend, rather than face a life-or-death battle.

“It’s dark and sunless here, so I guess we can consider it nighttime, right?”

Matching his lover’s playful tone, Ryu Seo-Ha grinned and shot back with a similar lightheartedness, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of things here.”

The two exchanged smiles as if they weren’t standing on the brink of another intense battle.

“I’ll be looking forward to it.”

But the jokes ended there. Even as they exchanged banter, they had already quickly assessed the situation. Though the odds were stacked in their favor, there was always room for unpredictability.

──!

The ensuing battle, however, went smoothly, just as they had expected. Having already devoured one of the higher beings’ cores, the strongest human was more than capable of handling several of them at once.

[Skill ‘Sanctification’ has been activated.]

[Buff ‘Mana Regeneration’ applied to target (Unidentified Rank 1).]

[Buff ‘Healing Regeneration’ applied to target (Unidentified Rank 1).]

[Buff ‘Status Ailment Recovery’ applied to target (Unidentified Rank 1).]

Ryu Seo-Ha played an instrumental role in supporting the battle. Thanks to his buffs, which he applied while maintaining skin contact with Kang-Hu through the gaps in his Celestial Vestments, Choi Kang-Hu had all the support he needed to dominate the fight.

Using [Sanctification] to perform light defensive maneuvers, Ryu Seo-Ha served as both a buffer and a damage dealer, holding the line against the enemies while Kang-Hu had the space to devour more cores.

As the number of cores Choi Kang-Hu consumed steadily increased, his growth accelerated at an exponential rate, allowing him to overpower the higher beings one after another.

“It seems like it’s daytime now.”

Ryu Seo-Ha’s lighthearted comment reflected the ease with which they were now overwhelming their enemies.

“Looks like the sun’s up, and the bugs are scurrying back to their holes.”

Surprisingly, some of the higher beings—once so arrogant—began retreating. A few even fled beyond the neutral zone established between the Black Wing and White Wing factions.

Perhaps they thought that luring the White Wing faction into joining the fight would be a burden for Choi Kang-Hu and Ryu Seo-Ha, but the two pursued their enemies relentlessly.

Choi Kang-Hu, who had long viewed the White Wing faction not as angels but as demons disguised in benevolence, felt no fear in declaring both factions his enemies.

“Well, that saves me the trouble of tracking them down.”

To him, this was simply an opportunity to rid himself of all those he owed vengeance to, in one fell swoop.
