In Chapter 162, the Shadow Monarch gave Jin-Woo an insight into what happened when the absolute authority and the creator of the world distributed powers to the monarchs and rulers.
Earlier in the chapter, the King of Dead revealed that he is the Shadow Monarch. He told Jin-Woo that the illusion was created by combining his years of desire to correct the mistakes with his power.
He also showed him what happened after he died in Seoul. Jin-Woo saw all the hunters teaming up to attack the two monarchs, followed by his father showing up and defending his body.
In the end, the Shadow Monarch told Jin-Woo that the absolute authority gave powers to rulers and monarchs to entertain himself. Soon the victims of the misery killed the absolute authority.
We bring you the latest chapter updates for this webtoon.
1. Chapter 163 Discussions and Predictions
The way Frost Monarch and Beast Monarch rushed to stop the Shadow Monarch indicates that he wasn’t like other monarchs. It could be because he wasn’t originally a monarch, although not a proven theory.
The Shadow Monarch appearing like a younger version of Jin-Woo further signals that maybe Jin-Woo was actually the original Shadow Monarch.
Another highlight of the chapter was Jin-Woo’s dad showing up to save him. In the previous chapters, it was revealed that Sung Il-Hwan is another leveled-up hunter. Does this mean he also has something to do with Jin Woo being in the illusion?
Even though he made an appearance after a long time, we couldn’t see more of him and hope that he will appear again soon. Nevertheless, the next chapter will be amazing, and we hope for all these mysteries to be solved.

4. Chapter 162 Recap
The King of Dead tells Sung Jin-Woo that he can live in the illusion for eternity. He explains that the illusion was actually created by Jin-Woo himself by combining his desires to correct the mistakes over the years with his power.
He keeps changing his appearance and tells Jin-Woo that it is the eternal rest of death. The King of Dead surprises Jin-Woo by appearing like his past self and says that this is his territory, where he can do whatever he wants.
He can absorb the power and use it to create, destroy and change the world.
Jin-Woo questions if he possesses the same power as him, so the King of Dead comes back to his original form and reveals that he is the Shadow Monarch. Jin-Woo asks him why he chose him.
To answer, the Shadow Monarch creates a portal in his hand and shows Jin-Woo what happened after he died in the fight with the two monarchs. At the scene, all the hunters decided to charge at once and fired towards the two monarchs.
The monarchs observed Jin-Woo’s body disappearing. They realized that it’s the true Shadow Monarch and rushed to stop him from descending.
Suddenly, Jin-Woo’s father, Sung Il-Hwan, jumped in and commented that he would not let anyone touch his child.
The flashback stops, and the Shadow Monarch continues to say that the Absolute Being split darkness into eight sovereigns, who started to kill each other long ago. Tired of the bloodshed, a light fragment asked the Absolute Being to stop the misery.
But when the Absolute Being did not reply, the light fragment realized that he created all this just for entertainment.
He adds that he stood against emissaries and realized that the Absolute Being had given him the unique skill to set his army. But soon, the Absolute Being died.
