Episode 116
“….”
Changcheon Sword Emperor Nangonggi looked at the hand dug into his chest and looked in disbelief.
Are you going to die like this?
He has reigned from above all his life, trampling on those who struggle like insects.
He lived a life worthy of a king, acquiring wealth, power, and honor.
Zhang Wuyuan is an eyesore, but I am a guy. The power of the Taiping Gate was the largest single force in China, and he thought that if he could utilize this power, his position would be strengthened.
That guy also got his head around and ended up getting caught.
Meanwhile, the demise of the Taiping Gate was good news. If he made it his own, it was an achievement that would put him at the center of the party.
The reason I wasn’t too worried when I faced the guy who took down this huge force was because I thought he must have been exhausted.
There were two Adepts and hundreds of Taepyeongmundo.
Even if you’re a teenage superhuman or something, you can’t be safe when dealing with a Chinese superhuman.
That was Namgunggi’s idea.
Now that I think about it, that was a mistake.
Anyone capable of attacking the Taiping Gate alone should have known that numbers are not that important.
I should have figured out the topic and ran away, but I realized it too late.
The result is death.
Only then did Namgoong-gi realize the identity of the other person.
“Headbreaker….”
“I recognized it.”
“Yes you bastard! Do you think you can do something like this and get away with it?”
“I was safe every time.”
The fact that he answered without changing his expression made me even more angry.
More than anything, the ‘plan’ he talked about so calmly made Namgoong-gi’s hair pale.
“You will be the one who brought down the Taiping Gate. “They give you honor when you die.”
“Oh, no.”
“Okay.”
Although the Taiping Gate was now pushed back and huddled on a small island, its remaining forces were spread throughout China. If it becomes known that it was their own actions that destroyed the Taiping Order, the Taiping School believers will not remain silent. Also, the superhumans who are close to Zhang Wuyuan are clearly moving.
Then what about your family? What about the colleagues you have formed relationships with?
Not everyone will be safe.
It meant that his power that controlled southern China was erased.
“Please save me. Whatever you want, I will listen to it. “If you tell me to crawl like a dog, like a dog…”
“Your life.”
Quad deuk!
Before he could finish his sentence, Head Breaker waved his hand.
It doesn’t work…!
Namgunggi’s head fell down, accompanied by heartbreaking pain.
* * *
Namgung-gi was the holder of the gift of controlling lightning. It was much less powerful than a mine, so I was able to give up without any regrets.
Just harvesting one Hyegwang plant was a great harvest.
I looked around. The dead Zhang Wuyuan, the masked superhuman, and the Taiping disciples. Next to him, Namgunggi and the Chinese awakeners were lying down.
“At this level, it seems like a plan for both parties.”
In fact, there was a big difference in power, but it would be judged that Namgunggi did his best.
Even if you don’t believe it, what can you do?
Nangong-gi’s plan to invade the Taiping Gate and the Yangpae is convincing, but he won’t be able to drag me in when I’m not even here.
It would be better to blame the league.
It would be nice if the two were close together, but China is a region where Taipingmoon was more dominant than the league.
I left my seat and looked for the boat that Namgunggi was believed to be on.
“Who are you?”
“Stop it!”
“Ugh!”
There were people waiting there, but they were all dealt with.
Even if they are Chinese awakened people, they are the best of Namgunggi.
Considering that Namgoong-gi maintains a relationship with the villain organization Taepyeongmun, there is no difficulty in defining him as a villain.
First, we succeeded in securing the ship.
This ship looks much better than when it arrived.
The problem was whether or not there was someone to drive the boat.
“They say I have to drive it.”
I remembered the pirates driving the ship on the way here. I just saw it with my eyes, so I guess I’ll reach my destination as I go.
When you get to a place where there are people in the middle, you can ask them how to steer the boat.
“let’s go.”
* * *
Cheon Myeong-guk hurriedly headed to Incheon. I heard that a ship that appeared to be of Chinese nationality had arrived without any warning.
In normal times, ships arriving at Incheon Port were likely to be Chinese illegal fishing vessels or ships for smuggling.
But this time the case was different. Cheon Myeong-guk arrived in a chauffeur-driven car and breathed a huge sigh of relief upon seeing a familiar face after a long time.
Fortunately, the person who claimed to be Choi Jun-ho was actually Choi Jun-ho.
“Choi Jun-ho, superhuman.”
“It’s been a while, Director Cheon.”
Choi Jun-ho raised his hand.
It made me worry so much and he had such a calm expression on his face.
The problem is that that face feels welcoming.
Especially in a situation where we are faced with a monster problem.
‘Since when did I become so dependent?’
I felt angry because I felt like I was the only one suffering, but it soon subsided.
If you get angry and attack it, you will be the one who twists your neck.
“What on earth happened?”
“Didn’t the mayor of Busan tell you? “I would have seen it and posted it right away.”
During this time, people’s eyes were like ghosts.
“There was a report, but doesn’t the Superhuman always make things bigger than we thought?”
I tried to control myself as much as possible, but eventually my angry emotions showed.
The good news is that Choi Jun-ho also appears to be convinced.
“That’s right. “It turned out to be bigger than I thought.”
More from here?
I feel like my eyes are getting dark.
I barely managed to keep my composure and spoke.
“There are many things I want to hear and many things I want to say. “The President told me to come to the Blue House right away.”
“Of course. Ah, but what about the boat I came on?”
“So, what kind of ship are you on?”
“It’s a Chinese ship.”
“…!”
Cheon Myeong-guk, startled, ran toward where the officer on duty was. And the moment he was told the identity of the ship, he looked dejected.
“How on earth did that ship….”
“They killed the owner and took it.”
“Who is the owner?”
“Don’t worry. “He’s like a villain who tried to cooperate with a villain.”
That means it’s not a villain!
I couldn’t believe it, but I never thought it would be true.
Cheon Myeong-guk couldn’t bear to hear the truth first.
Choi Jun-ho asked with a calm expression whether he knew that or not.
“Is that boat the problem?”
“Yes it could be a very big problem.”
“is it so?”
After saying that, Choi Jun-ho pulled out the pure white sword Nuri and activated the gift.
A storm of force blades stretched out with terrifying force and struck the ship.
bang! Quagwagwang! Coo!
The ship, torn to pieces, began to slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.
“This will do.”
Don’t talk as if you’ve finished recycling!
I screamed inside, but at the same time, I thought that was the surest way. After arresting the party officials, Cheon Myeong-guk headed to the Blue House with Choi Jun-ho.
I hope it’s not a big deal.
I prayed fervently in my heart, knowing it wouldn’t happen.
* * *
Cheon Myeong-guk, who arrived at the Blue House and listened to the detailed story with the President, almost fainted.
He was angry that the Taiping Gate had ties to China and was preparing to attack Busan. If Busan, which could be said to be the rear, was hit, it had no choice but to be held still for several years in order to recover.
I heard that they hijacked a pirate ship and headed to the Taiping Gate’s headquarters, where they eliminated Taiping Gate lord Zhang Wuyuan and other unidentified superhumans and Taiping Gate villains.
“There is a high probability that it is Dark Cloud, a new superhuman who appeared in Taiping Gate. “I thought he was a new superhuman, but he was a mature superhuman…”
“He’s already dead, so you don’t have to worry.”
“haha.”
Sometimes, when I listen to Choi Jun-ho’s words, I get the feeling that he has no intention of refuting. Because it was true.
However, there were many times when I couldn’t get used to it because they talked about superhumans as if they were twisting the wrist of a child walking down the street.
The president seemed to think the same thing and just laughed.
Choi Jun-ho’s story continued.
After destroying the Taiping Gate and killing the villains who were running away, when they returned, they found the Chinese superman Nam Gung-gi.
And he ended the story by saying that he came back after killing everyone in order to blame Namgunggi for destroying the Taipyeongmun.
“….”
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk could not open their mouths.
I came here to film a blockbuster movie in a short period of time.
As many as three superhumans died in one place.
Is it immediately revealed that Namgung-gi is dead?
It was hard to imagine how noisy it would be.
This must be kept secret at all costs. The president had the same thought.
“If we keep quiet, it will be a secret forever.”
“I never told anyone else.”
“good. Well, let’s take this to the grave. Even if Nangonggi cooperated with Taipingmun, it would not be good for China to know.”
“All right.”
When Choi Jun-ho agreed, Cheon Myeong-guk nodded eagerly.
After completing the recruitment process, the president expressed his curiosity in other areas.
“But how were you able to come back?”
“I learned how to drive a boat on an island I stopped by on the way. So I decided on a destination and came here.”
“Are you just driving a boat and coming here?”
It was a ridiculous story. Then, the sea monsters would have rushed in.
The reason humanity is having a hard time due to monsters is not only because of the strength of the monsters themselves, but also because the shipping routes are blocked by marine monsters that dominate the sea, making logistics flow more difficult.
If you had the ability to travel freely across the sea, you would be controlling the world economy.
“Oh, I forgot.”
Choi Jun-ho took out something the size of his fist from the bag he had brought.
It was the heart of a monster.
“It is the heart of the sea monster. “I think it’s probably level 8 hazardous.”
“…!”
The shocked eyes of the President and Cheon Myeong-guk opened wide. You even hunted monsters on your way back? The difficulty of hunting marine monsters is several times higher than on land?
“That’s it.”
“…haha!”
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk shook their heads.
* * *
After finishing the report, my return took place quietly.
Currently, South Korea was suffering from two plus level monsters that suddenly appeared.
The Asgard Guild and the Reaper Guild went out to hunt monsters, but both failed in the first hunt and retreated.
Although he struck the monster, he was unable to deliver the final blow due to physical strength issues.
Accordingly, the government organized the sacred guild into a reserve force, but some people cried out why I did not step forward.
There was news that James Reed, who was conducting research, was being encouraged to join. I guess it’s hard to believe since he’s been struggling after only showing how he easily hunts monsters.
In order to understand the situation before going home, I went to Choi Jun-ho’s team’s office and discussed the Blue House request with Jin Se-jeong.
“I am against it.”
“the opposite?”
“yes! On the surface, you are claiming to give other guilds a chance. “It’s a problem whose order has already been decided.”
The government asked me to join them because hunting plus-level monsters was not feasible.
I was putting it off because I needed to think about it.
I thought it would be better to accept it, but Jin Se-jeong thought differently.
“I think the Republic of Korea should use this opportunity to realize how precious superhumans are.”
Because it’s my preciousness.
Does knowing that make a big difference?
Jin Se-jeong firmly said yes.
“Superman, you hunt monsters without difficulty. That’s a truly incredible and blessed talent. The problem is that the vast majority of ordinary people who watch it only see how easy it is to catch and don’t know much about the dangers of plus-level monsters.”
Jin Se-jeong poured out words that were close to praise about how difficult it was for me to do it.
In short, we need to make people aware of how difficult it is.
“It’s not a procedural mistake. The Adept has come a long way, right? “You can refuse to recover your condition.”
“Will public opinion be formed that way?”
“If you wait quietly, it will take a long time. So we have to make it happen. That’s what I’m here for. And that public opinion is already flowing out. Would you like to see this?”
What Jin Se-jeong showed was an article about the delay in hunting plus level monsters.
At the same time, it was described as something close to praising how good the hunting results were when I went out and how great my presence was.
“Look at the comments too.”
The best comment was already all about me.
The main topic was how highly the Republic of Korea is evaluated because of me and how they can be safe from the threat of monsters.
There were also times when I was told not to come forward because I didn’t want to get hurt.
Public opinion toward me is quite favorable.
“This is not a created public opinion.”
What Jin Se-jeong showed was a comment with a lot of opposition.
The opposite number… was it possible to print 1 million?
I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.
The ID was familiar. When I looked again, it was Jin Se-jeong’s account.
“Just as a person makes a person, a person also makes a person. Now, he gets angry at me and has reached a stage where he feels attracted to the adept.”
“….”
For a moment, I thought that Jin Se-jeong was the world’s greatest lunatic.
“My goal this time is to get 10,000,000 opposite numbers!”
“….”
I couldn’t bear to cheer for him to do well.
