Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 417 417: I'm the Truth

Amidst the searing heat of the volcano, Jun Ho, with his characteristic aloofness, stood stoically alongside his team members, Mal and Saj. The magma flowed like molten rivers around them, casting an eerie glow on their faces as they conversed.

"We, from no.1 high school, are undeniably superior," Jun Ho stated coolly, his voice carrying an air of indifference. "We mustn't allow anything to tarnish our reputation."

Mal frowned, his frustration evident. "Jun Ho, your sense of superiority is insufferable," he chided, his tone tinged with exasperation. "There's a sky beyond the sky, you know. We can't afford to underestimate others."

Jun Ho's expression remained impassive as he responded. "I am simply stating a fact," he asserted calmly. "I am the strongest student overall. It's not arrogance, but confidence in my abilities."

Saj sighed, feeling caught in the middle of their conflicting personalities. "Jun Ho, you need to be more mindful of how you come across to others," he urged, his voice tinged with concern. "We're a team, and we should strive to support each other."

Jun Ho regarded Saj with a detached gaze, his demeanor unchanged. "I appreciate your concern, Saj," he replied evenly. "But I stand by my statement. Confidence is essential for success."

Mal shook his head in frustration, struggling to contain his irritation. "It's not just about confidence, Jun Ho," he argued, his voice tinged with frustration. "It's about humility and respect for others."

Jun Ho's response was characteristically aloof. "I understand your perspective, Mal," he acknowledged, his tone neutral. "But I won't apologize for being the best.".

"The great god student is me," Jun Ho declared with a hint of arrogance, his voice devoid of emotion as he asserted his dominance. "No one can rival my strength and intellect."

Mal, ever the sarcastic one, couldn't resist a retort. "Oh, of course, Your Highness," he quipped, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "We're all just lucky to bask in your divine presence."

Mal rolled his eyes at Jun Ho's scientific analysis. "Fascinating," he remarked dryly. "Now, if only we had some marshmallows to roast over this inferno."

Saj, always one step ahead, observed the lava monsters lurking in the distance with a calculating gaze. He knew they posed a threat to his teammates, but not to him. "The lava monsters are a concern for you two," he commented casually, his tone betraying no hint of empathy. "But for me, they're merely an inconvenience."

Jun Ho nodded in agreement, his stoic expression unwavering. "Indeed," he replied calmly. "There's no equality in this world—only in death. We must adapt and overcome if we wish to survive."

In the sweltering heat of the volcanic landscape, Saj's argument reverberated with a chilling certainty, his voice cutting through the oppressive atmosphere with a cold clarity.

"Life isn't meaningless," Saj stated firmly, his eyes narrowing with conviction. "Everything has a purpose, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. We're all just players in a grand cosmic game, each with our own role to fulfill."

To Saj, violence was not just a means to an end—it was a fundamental aspect of existence, a tool to assert dominance and control in a chaotic world.

"I prefer to use violence to solve most problems," Saj continued, his tone unapologetic. "If a problem can't be solved through diplomacy or negotiation, then you're simply not being violent enough. Strength is the ultimate currency in this world, and those who lack it are destined to be crushed beneath the boots of the powerful."

His words were met with agreement from his teammates. While they may have recoiled at the brutality of Saj's worldview, they couldn't deny the truth in his words. In a world where survival was paramount, weakness was a luxury they couldn't afford.

"I'm not a sociopath," Saj asserted, his voice tinged with defiance. "I'm the truth. The truth that most people are too afraid to confront. The truth that power rules all, and those who dare to challenge it are destined for oblivion."

"I agree..." Jun Ho nodded.
