Chapter 1147
With the sword being broken, its effects had fallen by half, and its blade could no longer exert much power. The sword was now left in a state where it could not stab even if used to stab.
When a notification that sounded different from the usual one that resonated in the world rang in Minhyuk’s ears, he felt as if his reason was again awakened.
[The broken Sword of Aeon resonates strongly with you.]
[Starting from your hands, the sword’s cries spread throughout your body.]
[The broken Sword of Aeon speaks to you.]
[He’s different.]
[Unlike someone who wants everyone to know, he remains silent whenever he swings his sword non-stop.]
[He does not know the limit.]
[Compared to others, he fought bravely and went against the limitations and restrictions of a human body and continued to move forward.]
[He does not know how to give up.]
[Even though he would feel a lot more comfortable and relaxed if he chose to give up, he never did. He never harbored weak thoughts about someone doing it for him if he could no longer do it. He continued to toil hard despite the heat and the sweat dripping down his brows.]
[He never showed his frustrations.]
[I want this to end. Please stop this. I can’t do it anymore. Despite these words of frustration that tickled his throat, he never let them out. He stood firm and never surrendered.]
[So, does he not know his limits?]
‘Limits... that’s something I set on my own.’
[Does he not know how and when to give up?]
‘I am doing everything for a better tomorrow.’
[Does he not know what frustration is?]
‘I want to overcome that frustration.’
Minhyuk’s answers greatly resonated with the Sword of Aeon.
[People pointed fingers at him. They looked at him incredulously when they saw him watering wilted flowers.]
[But he never gave up and continued to water the flowers.]
[He did not get frustrated and continued to let the sun shine on it.]
[He even brought good soil for the flowers.]
[Then, one day...]
Minhyuk stared at his broken blade, his hold on its grip tightening. Then, an illusion that he could only see appeared behind him at that moment. It was the illusion of Leo hammering the sword in his hands a million times without stopping. And right next to that illusion was the illusion of Minhyuk swinging the same sword non-stop.
[The withered flowers crumbled down.]
[And...]
Crack, crack, crack–
Minhyuk could feel it. He could feel a tremendous amount of power gathering in the space of the broken sword in his hands.
[There was a sprout growing underneath the remains of the wilted flower.]
Notifications constantly rang in Minhyuk’s ears.
[The final seal of the Sword of Aeon has been released.]
[The Sword of Aeon is delighted to serve you.]
[When the final seal has been released, the Sword of Aeon will create the strongest blade for the first and last time.]
[The Sword of Aeon’s attack power will increase five times in one swing.]
[You can now use the Active Skill: ‘Sword’s Breath.’]
A loud cry echoed in the still battlefield.
Swoosh–
Swoosh–
Swoosh–
‘Sword’s Breath.’
[The Sword’s Breath increases your attack power by 10%.]
[The Sword’s Breath increases the damage of all skills related to swordsmanship by 7%.]
[The Sword’s Breath will cut down anything and everything, even those considered invincible.]
[You can become one with your sword.]
[Lower your knees and breathe slowly, follow the Sword’s Breath.]
“Hoooo.” Minhyuk breathed out.
The powerful force swirling in the broken part of the Sword of Aeon slowly gathered together. At this moment, Minhyuk felt like he could cut through anything. And with Akkaman being in such a disastrous state? This fight had already turned into a fight where the one who could deal the strongest shot would be the winner.
As he prepared to launch his attack, Minhyuk recalled the words that Conir loved to say. He said, “One second.”
“...?!”
“That’s the time that I need to bring you to the depths of despair,” Minhyuk finished as he moved to attack.
Akkaman was in a state where his defenses had doubled. This meant that the broken Sword of Aeon should never have been able to cut him down.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh–
A new blade emerged at the broken part of the Sword of Aeon. In the first place, the Sword of Aeon’s durability was set to infinity. This meant that the sword would never truly break. And even if it suffered damage, it would eventually repair itself.
‘This process was only to unseal the final seal.’
Minhyuk lowered his knees and followed the Sword’s Breath as he activated the Annihilator’s Sword that he had saved using the Save skill.
[You are breathing along with the Sword’s Breath.]
[Your AGI will temporarily increase by 11%.]
Minhyuk swiftly passed by Akkaman. Then, at the same time, blood spurted out of the bulging muscles and his thick ogre’s body. Even though it looked like Akkaman’s body would never be cut open, just one slash from Minhyuk’s sword and blood came running down.
“K-keuaaaaaaaack!”
The attack was unbelievable. The new blade that grew out of the sword dealt more serious damage than the sword from earlier that had clashed with Akkaman’s weapons.
Akkaman, whose entire body had been cut and torn apart, slowly fell.
THUD–!
[You have hunted the Repetition King Akkaman.]
[You have gained 126,754 platinum.]
[You have gained 1,134,501,031 EXP.]
[You have obtained Repeater’s Bead.]
“...?”
Minhyuk looked in confusion at the drops left behind by the Repetition King.
‘That’s it?’
To put it simply, it was very disappointing. Minhyuk recalled the notification he heard when he first entered the Prison of Repetition.
–Repetition King Akkaman has been given extraordinary power by the God of Pandemonium.
–Inside this prison, he will be an absolute being transcending any existence.
These notifications implied that Repetition King Akkaman might not be so great in the first place.
‘If we compare his power to an ordinary god, he’s probably only around Level 750 or so?’
Regardless, inside the Prison of Repetition, the power of the God of Pandemonium has allowed him to increase his power and go beyond Level 1,000.
‘The power that the God of Pandemonium possesses is beyond amazing.’
Perhaps that god\'s power could surpass any omnipotent being in this place. Minhyuk did not linger on the topic for too long. After all, he had already obtained the biggest harvest here. He had finally released the third and final seal of the Sword of Aeon.
Just when Minhyuk was about to check the information of his newly unsealed sword, a series of notifications rang in his ears.
[You have achieved a 100% Prison of Repetition’s Release Rate. Every single prisoner will be released.]
[In an hour, the Supreme Army will be able to detect abnormalities and come to this place to check.]
This place was the place that repeated every single thing to them every single day. It was a horrendous place where they were greeted with the same scene and died the same death every repetition. But in this place, a door had appeared above them. And with a creak, it opened widely for them.
“Finally!!! We can finally go outside!”
“Fre-freedom!!!”
The surviving prisoners, as well as those who had turned into light after being killed before, were all delighted to know that they would finally be able to get out of this horrendous prison.
Minhyuk, who was watching them, silently checked the Sword of Aeon.

When Minhyuk looked at the contents, he was puzzled because everything was similar. Only after he saw the description did he understand.
[The rank of the Sword of Aeon does not fit. Please click “Evolve”.]
‘Eh?’
This was the first time that Minhyuk had seen this method of evolution. After a closer look, anyone could tell that tagging the sword as God-rank was insufficient.
Minhyuk clicked the “Evolve” button.
[The determination of the appropriate rank for the Sword of Aeon.]
[The Sword of Aeon surpasses God.]
[The Sword of Aeon surpasses Absolute God.]
[The Sword of Aeon’s rank cannot be measured or determined.]
Minhyuk frowned. He did not know what the words “cannot be measured” entailed or what it meant for him. Thankfully, the following notifications made him immediately understand.
[The Sword of Aeon is a sword unrestricted by ranks.]
[The Sword of Aeon represents both a long passage of time and infinity.]
Ring!
[The Sword of Aeon’s rank will be changed to infinity.]
[Thanks to your hard work and effort, the Sword of Aeon will continue to grow and develop!]
“...?”
Minhyuk was very shocked. The Sword of Aeon has turned into an artifact that did not have a restriction on its ranking. The following notifications left Minhyuk in an even greater shock.
[You have come into possession of an artifact that can leave a mark in the path of the Battle God’s Achievements.]
[Your name has appeared and rises in the list of Battle Gods who have made achievements.]
[The form of the Battle God’s Statue has slightly changed.]
Minhyuk was flustered and embarrassed by the notifications that rang non-stop in his ears.
Then, he checked the information on the newly evolved Sword of Aeon.
(Sword of Aeon)

Requirements: Level 700, the One who swung the sword a million times.
Durability: ∞/∞

Minhyuk was dumbfounded. Just when he was about to check the detailed information on “This is a sword with infinite possibilities,” the Army Revolutionary and the greatest Battle God, Bharal, approached him.
At the same time.
The Battle God was sitting on his throne and giving orders to his five generals when suddenly...
“B-Battle God...!” The God of Archery shouted urgently.
Puzzled, the Battle God followed his gaze and looked behind him. That was when he saw the changes in the Battle God’s Statue, which had already turned somewhat dull after the Most Radiant Crown disappeared. It seemed like the sword in its hand was morphing and turning into an unknown sword.
The Battle God stood up in a daze as he watched the sword take its shape.
‘Isn’t that Minhyuk’s sword?’
The surprise did not end there. A bright light emerged from within the Battle God’s Statue. That light informed the Battle God that Minhyuk had already accomplished the mission that he was given in Pandemonium.
Shwaaaaaa–!
A bright and intense light spread around. It was so bright that it could illuminate the entire hall.
[The Battle God’s Statue has accepted the proposal of the Greatest Battle God.]
[The Greatest Battle God Bharal wishes to bestow upon him the Title: Absolute Monarch.]
“...?!”
The Absolute Monarch was a myth that has been passed down since the very beginning of time. It was a position that could only be given after receiving the approval and acknowledgment of all of the Battle Gods to have ever existed. Of course, it was nothing but an empty position. Nevertheless, being bestowed such a name would be the most incredible honor for the one in the Battle God’s position.
[The 5th generation Battle God Bharal gives his approval.]
[The 5th Generation Battle God Bharal gives his reason for proposing the bestowal of the title.]
At the same time, the entire process of what happened and Minhyuk’s figure holding onto the broken Sword of Aeon flashed in the Battle God’s eyes. Then...
[The 1st generation Battle God Wendor gives his approval.]
[The 2nd generation Battle God Arkai gives his approval.]
[The 3rd generation Battle God Boron gives his approval.]
[The 5th generation...]
[The 7th generation Battle God Karman does not give his approval.]
[The 8th generation Battle God Eccomann does not give his approval.]
Amidst the constantly ringing notifications, these notifications stood out in the eyes of the Battle God.
[There are six votes against and six votes in favor.]
[The Battle God’s Statue requires the vote of the current generation Battle God. Please make the choice.]
As mentioned before, the Absolute Monarch was the most honorable position. But the current generation Battle God said, “I can’t do something like that either. It’s something that even the first-generation Battle God could not do either. I think it’s more appropriate to say that none of us can do it.”
Nevertheless, he still felt delighted.
“I can feel my blood boiling. I can see it. Just as a star sets, a new star will rise. And Athenae, who accepted this new star, will be able to witness great changes. I approve!”
[Following the choice of the Battle Gods, the Title: Absolute Monarch will be bestowed upon the next generation Battle God.]
[The Battle God’s Statue is starting to change.]
‘Ah. There was something like this in the myths, too.’ A small smile appeared on the Battle God’s face as he looked at the changing statue.
A white cape carrying the symbol of a fork and knife crossed together appeared on the back of the statue, while an elegant yet tough silver armor appeared around its body. Then, a familiar face, which everyone knew well, appeared on the once faceless Battle God’s Statue. The face on the statue seemed to be shouting, “Charge!!!” as it raised its sword and pointed it to the sky above. And this face was none other than Minhyuk’s own.
