S-Senior!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he had truly irritated Phaemong this time, because Yeongwoo’s neck was on the verge of snapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to the point that an urgent signal even came in from Earth, which was docked outside in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>○ Hey, what’s going on? Your vital signs…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had heard Earth’s voice, Phaemong turned his head beyond the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he slightly loosened the strength in the hand gripping Yeongwoo’s neck and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Is your planet-ship watching this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Khk!

You’re broadcasting the things you do to your entire planet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wouldn’t know since you’re not from a Reset lineage, Senior… but I’m about to enter a re-approval vote.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—A re-approval vote?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If my citizens don’t elect me again as the planet’s representative, I’ll be erased.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t a boundless curiosity the common trait among the lunatics of the universe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Yeongwoo’s peculiar circumstances, Phaemong finally showed interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He released the strength from the hand gripping his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—So you’re a planet-ship master with a time limit?

The strongest planet-ship master? Not a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me, Senior, you’ve actually fought other planet-ship masters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you won and that’s why you’re here now…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The outcome didn’t come easily. And there were too many meddlers, so we couldn’t reach a conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? You fought them as equals?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo flattered him desperately to stay alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—It was over a thousand years ago. By now he must have grown far stronger. So a brat like you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of finishing his sentence, Phaemong rubbed his index finger and thumb together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It probably meant he was no more than dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yeongwoo, who boasted growth equal to a hundred million years every single day, wasn’t bothered by those words at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it was only a matter of time before he overtook his seniors anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, there was one curiosity he had to resolve while he had the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, Senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your existence rank… what tier are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Existence Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kind of martial hierarchy established by the universe to distinguish the superiority and inferiority of countless beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, the strongest beings Yeongwoo had met were Chairman Dogo and the King of Ten Thousand Demons, Mara, both legally classified as Existence Tier 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was the Designer Remu, a Tier 4 existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what tier had Phaemong, who had existed as a planet-ship master for ages, reached?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Existence rank? Haven’t heard that term in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phaemong let out a low laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, returning his left arm, which had turned violet, back to its original color, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Last I checked, Tier 3. Though I’ve lost many myths since then, so it may have changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tier… 3….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the other planet-ship master Phaemong fought a thousand years ago was also at least Tier 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, if one kept surviving as a planet-ship master, reaching Tier 3 was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘One day I could be the same tier as the Chairman…? I really picked the right profession.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Yeongwoo knew well that being the same tier didn’t mean equal martial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Tier 3 was reachable, didn’t that mean Tier 2 wasn’t impossible either?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—I’m getting tired. A guy who’s only had a planet-ship for a few days won’t have any more interesting stories for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, get lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yeongwoo tucked the Bastard into his waist and bowed to Phaemong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for everything, Senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Beware of unpredictability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phaemong emphasized unpredictability until the very end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a true planet-ship master who embodied unpredictability itself, he didn’t chant ‘layout’ as a habit, but instead kept ‘unpredictability’ on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll… be careful of unpredictability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo nodded, then looked at the ship half-buried in the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Koatu, who had been hiding, hurriedly shoved himself into the ship’s entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior! I’ll visit you again! In a hundred years, maybe even a bit sooner!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Hurry up and go. You’re the second one to swing a sword at me and walk away alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t that imply he had killed everyone else except planet-ship masters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, if he weren’t retired, even junior planet-ship masters might not have been exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yeongwoo hurried into the ship with a horrified expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator - Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader - Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go quickly.

Taking off immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Koatu poured power into the thrusters, Phaemong outside the window sank back into a folding chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Do you naturally gain that kind of composure once you reach Tier 3?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Phaemong slowly recede into the distance, Yeongwoo imagined other planet-ship masters sailing somewhere in the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each with eccentric personalities and uncontrollable power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘…They’re disasters themselves.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo stared out the window, Koatu, holding the helm, asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Was the meeting successful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. I even got two myths and….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo then brought up his current prestige status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flaaash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Prestige Level: 55]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>|80\u002F100\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Karma required per 1 achievement: 51.1 billion\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few days ago, his prestige had been in the 30s, similar to Alden Miras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was 55.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This really could only be described as “growth equal to a hundred million years per day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting as a trivial being, he caught up to the heirs of cosmic noble houses within a week, and now he was far stronger than most family heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Risking my life was worth it. My prestige level is 55 now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Koatu turned his head and opened his mouth wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—55…? Now you can really be called a big shot. Even many of my arrogant clients don’t exceed prestige level 50.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… in terms of tiers, I’m probably close to Tier 5 now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You had to play in big waters wherever you were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, I’ve got a long way to go. I’m still in a state where I can meet someone stronger than me anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Isn’t that because you only go around doing things that attract strong guys?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeing Lemu get beaten by the Chairman, I don’t think even Tier 4 would let me live comfortably.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koatu frowned as if asking what nonsense that was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Tier 4? A Tier 4 is recognized across the entire universe. Just how greedy are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that I’m greedy. The universe is just big.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—You leave me speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koatu shook his head and gripped the controls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—We’re about to arrive at Earth-Ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to set the next plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the ship enter Earth’s atmosphere, Yeongwoo pulled out the Great Exploration from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current mid-to-long-term goal was chasing myths, and his short-term goal was raining the Golden Ratio on unqualified planets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Since myths are buried somewhere on planets anyway, if I search for myths, I’ll naturally encounter unqualified planets too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately or unfortunately, there were no myths left in the Phemu Galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Then the next myth is….’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yeongwoo pushed the blurred dot aside on the screen, a faint red dot appeared far away on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If it’s red… that means it’s attack-type. Could I get there through a black hole too?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuuuuung!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around then, the ship landed in an empty lot in Gwangjin District, so Yeongwoo hurried to the Earth-Ship’s helm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For navigation advice, Mantero was the most reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Acting Captain! Acting Captain…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running up to the upper helm in one breath, Yeongwoo immediately found Acting Captain Mantero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—You’ve returned safely. But what is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at this first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrust the myth map before the puzzled Mantero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is our next destination. How long would it take with normal navigation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mantero examined the map carefully, then tilted his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Hmm….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why, is it too far?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The actual distance isn’t that great, but this is the Phemu Galaxy. There are no relay tunnels, so we’d have to manually navigate quite a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me in time. How long exactly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Two days just to exit the galaxy….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two hundred million years? That’s not happening. Isn’t there another way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Then we have no choice but to use a black hole again. If you look here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mantero dragged the map and pointed to a nearby black hole, Yeongwoo nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even to him, it looked extremely close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go there. We’ve already gained the consent of quite a few black holes, so it should be easier this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo said this, Earth approached and extended a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Earth’s palm, a complex pattern was displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that supposed to be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Your karma.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…My karma?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『A message came from Salzeo.

Then….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo trailed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized the distance was too far to call them here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Tehen, it would take 120 years of flight without a black hole to reach them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In theory, endlessly running through black holes could be possible, but Earth’s next words cut off his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『No need to play tricks. Salzeo isn’t a famous house for nothing.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does that mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight unease crept in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And soon, it became reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Salzeo didn’t ask for our coordinates or anything like that.
