Hell’s Handbook

“I’ll see how long you can block us for!” said the will of the universe icily as he dashed toward that gap in the spacetime barrier.

“Even if he can’t block your way, he still has us!” One of the gods dashed toward the will of the universe. The will of the universe turned to look at him and the god suddenly stopped a short distance away.

“Ha! You suddenly realize it’s useless? You’re all trash! Just trash!” The will of the universe started laughing maniacally.

“We’re not fucking trash! We’re gods! We’re a level above everyone else! And I’m here to fuck you over!” That god suddenly grinned threateningly as his body turned into a bright ball of light and exploded.

It turned out that the god knew he wouldn’t have the chance to explode himself if he went too close to the will of the universe, so he chose to stop at a distance that was just far enough to avoid being destroyed by the will of the universe easily, then detonated himself.

“Humph! You think that’s enough to stop me?” The will of the universe scoffed in disdain.

“That’s not all you’re getting! There’s still the rest of us!” roared the crowd of gods. They dashed toward the will of the universe, then took turns to explode themselves. The gods turned into a brilliant display of fireworks that surrounded the will of the universe.

The will of the universe had no choice but to take a step back and rethink his strategy. The explosions of these gods were made from pure energy, so he wasn’t immune to damage from these explosions either. If he had to face this amount of energy blasting directly at him, even if he didn’t die, he would be severely injured.

With the gods stalling the will of the universe, the temple was able to escape that universe and move through the various universes again. Jing Hua and the rest couldn’t help but gape when they saw the way those gods started exploding themselves. These people whom they had regarded as trash and weaklings had actually been brave enough to do this to themselves.

“That is what it means to be a living, breathing creature… there is no pure goodness or pure evil. Lifeforms might seem weak, but they can be brave!” Su Jin’s eyes were filled with anger on behalf of the gods that had chosen to sacrifice themselves at the very last moment so that the other gods would be able to escape.

After the explosions had ended, the will of the universe wasn’t in very good shape. The huge space was left with only the incarnation of the Handbook, Jing Hua and the other three geniuses, the Demon Lord, and finally the will of the universe and Su Jin.

The will of the universe walked toward Su Jin and stretched his limbs with a displeased look on his face, then he said to Su Jin, “That was a very memorable battle, but unfortunately you still lack the capability to go against me, so the game will end here!”

Su Jin frowned and said to the will of the universe, “The game will never end. As long as someone’s still alive, the resistance will never stop. Today, I’ve been unable to see this resistance to the end, but in the future, or in the next cycle, or maybe thousands of cycles later, a new insurgent will rise up and defeat you!”

The will of the universe fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, “No, this will not happen again. Nobody will be able to create anything that can be compared to Hell’s Handbook like The Beginning. Even if a new insurgent rises up, they will end up getting killed just like all the insurgents before you.”

“The only thing you can be certain of in this world is the fact that… you can never be truly certain of anything!” said Su Jin in a mocking voice.

The will of the universe made a face, then said, “Su Jin, I’ve been really enjoying this game, so I don’t mind giving you the chance to give up being an insurgent. Why don’t you become an ally of mine? I’ll give you the same benefits – you can get to control the Handbook!”

Su Jin was a little stunned at first, then burst out laughing. “HAHA! I think you’re mistaken about this one thing. You think I’m someone who’s afraid to die? Or you think I’m someone who’s hungry for power? It’s none of the above! What I want is freedom! That’s the one thing you can’t give me!”

“Freedom? I’ve given you plenty, but you turned into a complete catastrophe. Fine, since you are so unwilling to join me, then you can go to hell now!” The will of the universe shook his head sadly and did not want to talk to Su Jin anymore.

The incarnation of the Handbook and the four geniuses surrounded Su Jin. They were probably unable to stop Su Jin from launching any attacks, but it was enough to stall him for a moment. That moment would be enough for the will of the universe to take Su Jin down.

Black and white streams of air sprayed out from the will of the universe and shot toward Su Jin. Just then, the Demon Lord suddenly grabbed hold of the will of the universe’s hand and begged, “O Great One, I beg you… please, give him another chance! I’m certain he will change his mind! Let me try and persuade him!”

The will of the universe stared icily at her and said, “Let go of me. Do you think you have the right to ask me for anything?”

She paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly, “Of course I don’t.” She turned to Su Jin and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Su Jin. You trusted me and treated me as a friend, but I’ve betrayed you.”

Su Jin sighed. Even though he had initially struck nothing more than a deal with the Demon Lord, they had eventually become friends. But he didn’t know that the Demon Lord had been so determined to become like one of the geniuses that she was willing to create a physical body for the will of the universe and help him to descend on this world!

“You did see me as a friend… didn’t you? Or at least you did before this?” She looked pleadingly at Su Jin.

Su Jin nodded without hesitation, then sighed. “Not just before this. Even now, you’re still my friend, even though we don’t think the same way.

She broke into a beautiful smile and nodded slightly. “So, you will forgive me, right?”

“I… will.” Su Jin nodded. At this point, he didn’t want to blame her for anything. They had a different opinion on things, but he had no right to force her to give up her dream of becoming an immortal like those geniuses.

“That’s wonderful, Su Jin… getting to know you has been truly wonderful!” Her smile grew brighter as she also gripped the will of the universe’s hand more tightly, which made the will of the universe frown.

She glared at the will of the universe and said, “I really shouldn’t have given you this body. You don’t deserve it at all!”

“What did you just say?!” The will of the universe narrowed his eyes, his voice filled with rage.

“Su Jin!” The Demon Lord yelled Su Jin’s name loudly.

“What is it?” asked Su Jin.

“RUN!!” roared the Demon Lord loudly as her body began to crack and a tremendous amount of energy shot out from the cracks.

“Damn it!” cursed the will of the universe. He tried to shake her off but simply couldn’t. And because he had upgraded her godhood to genius tier, it was too difficult for him to take it away from her in an instant. It required a series of complicated steps and he clearly didn’t have the time to do that now.

Su Jin’s eyes widened as he felt the urge to rush toward her, but she turned back and stared at him with her lips pursed slightly, as though she was saying, “I’m sorry!”

A brilliant light enveloped the will of the universe as her pure and genius tier energy exploded. Not even the will of the universe would be able to escape this unscathed.

Su Jin gritted his teeth, then turned to create a gap in space. The will of the universe roared furiously from the middle of the brilliant light, “Stop him! Stop him!”

Jing Hua’s group and the Handbook’s incarnation ran after Su Jin, but unlike the will of the universe, they were no match for Su Jin. They managed to stall him for just a while before Su Jin dashed ahead of them and disappeared into the gap.

The light created by the Demon Lord’s explosion finally faded. The will of the universe was burned in several places, but his body restored itself within seconds. He glared coldly at the four geniuses and they immediately hung their heads.

“Chase after him! I’ve left traces of my aura on him and he won’t be able to get rid of it for a while.” The will of the universe raised a finger, and the group was now able to recognize that aura.

Meanwhile, Su Jin had managed to get away, but he quickly discovered that trace on himself. He couldn’t possibly return to the temple now, otherwise the will of the universe would be able to track it. That would definitely spell disaster.

“I’ll have to find a way to get rid of this trace first.” Su Jin did not stop and rest at the universe he was now in but continued to move through universe after universe. It was like how someone being chased would suddenly turn at random corners in order to shake off the group behind them.

It didn’t take long for him to also discover that it wasn’t going to be easy to get rid of this trace. He stopped to think and concluded that he had to find a world that wasn’t within the Handbook’s line of sight. That way, he would be able to escape any attempts by the Handbook to use this trace to track him down.

There was such a place, of course. It was a world that Su Jin had left more than ten years ago and left two disciples behind. But that world had been isolated and thrown into the greater universe, which made time there pass faster than normal. It might have already been destroyed by now.

“Regardless of whether that world still exists or not, I’ve got to give it a shot!” Once Su Jin had made his decision, he broke through the spacetime barrier and headed for that universe. Once he had reached that universe, it was easy to locate that planet. He had left traces of his maniacal power on that planet, so he could track down the planet without any problem.
