Episode 407
[That is impossible.]
These were the words that came from God after a long period of silence. Yunhee felt her anger rising.
If you can change other people, why can’t you change your own brother?
“No, what kind of god can’t even do that! Are you god? “Are you impersonating me?”
[…You mean family? That’s rude.]
“No, you’re saying you’re God? Are you saying you are omnipotent? “Why is it that the miracles shown to others don’t work for me?”
[Do you think your human family will just stay still?]
“Isn’t it true that God can fix things even if he just ignores them?”
[Conversation is meaningless anymore. You lack faith.]
“Faith must be lacking some kind of ability.”
At the same time, cracks began to appear in the pure white world that surrounded Yunhee.
“Huh? Where! “I want you to change my brother’s personality!”
[There are no miracles for those who lack faith.]
With those words, God walked away.
Yunhee screamed at the thought that the grace bestowed on her could eventually disappear.
“hey! hey! Is my brother that scary? Are you scared! madam!”
Eventually, Yun-hee, who was thrown out of the pure white world, regained her senses and returned to reality.
She woke up with her whole body soaked, and remembered what God had said and grinned.
“Well, there’s all this!”
But God ignored her wishes.
He had to control his anger for a while over the fact that his wish was rejected.

The fact that the self-proclaimed god approached Yunhee also meant that they had crossed a river from which they would never return.
That action is just like what you warned me about.
If you fall in love with yourself, you can touch those around you.
Yongyong spoke to me as I was wondering whether I should deal with him right away.
[But the opponent is also very unreasonable.]
He then explained that no matter how much a divine beast calls itself a god, it must consume an enormous amount of power to project its influence over a long distance from the main body.
“Isn’t performing miracles similar?”
[That’s basically what you do to people who are friendly to you. [There is a medium called faith.]
Since Yun-hee did not have such a medium, a tremendous amount of power must have been wasted.
I definitely don’t think he believes in God.
On the contrary, he might have been disgusted by the self-proclaimed god by asking him this and that.
“In the end, it means that if you are prepared to lose money, you can hurt your family.”
[Yes, that’s true.]
“How to stop it?”
Since I pointed out the problem, Yongyong probably knows how to solve it.
I was planning to listen to the method, but I guess he was mistaken.
[…okay. Can’t I just block access?]
“Uh.”
[First, I will make sure I can detect it. Then you can deal with it right away.]
If I could, I would do it.
Since Yongyong said he would do it, I had no choice but to leave it to him.
“Yes, I only trust you.”
[Oh, does that sound good? Yes, just trust me.]
As Yongyong took action, the situation became more tense than expected.
There were people who, under the instigation of a self-proclaimed god, repeatedly refuted the public opinion criticizing me.
The start was Myanmar.
U Aye Cho, a hero in Myanmar and a powerful influence in Southeast Asia, had officially come to my aid.
I rightly respect God for performing miracles and helping mankind, but I need to confirm whether God is truly God, and although I have made mistakes, I have made a great contribution to mankind.
This comment came at a time when the criticism directed at me was about to become mainstream, and it was a great help in confronting the self-proclaimed god.
As if Jjo’s declaration had become a spark, declarations of support started pouring in one after another from the place where I exorcised the monster and the place where I opened the gift.
“I lived well.”
“It is safe to say that Junho is being recognized for what he has done so far.”
Lee Se-hee, sitting across from me, supported my words.
Where I am currently is the Blue House. Myself, Cheon Myeong-guk, Lee Se-hee, Jin Se-jeong, and Jeong Joo-ho are gathered together and discussing ways to deal with self-proclaimed gods.
“Well, how much help did you give me? Rather, you should pay close attention to the area where you wipe your mouth even with help. “As soon as the situation gets better, we’ll be lining up like we’ve never done before.”
“That can’t be helped. Rather, we need to think of ways to solidify the trend in this direction. “Then they will think that the trend has waned and change their minds.”
“But the situation is not easy, Chairman. “Wow, Aye Jjo is definitely a superman worthy of respect, but he has little influence on the world.”
“Still, since this is a long-awaited number, we need to inflate it as much as possible and steer it in a direction that is advantageous to us.”
Jin Se-jeong and Lee Se-hee chatted and discussed which direction to proceed with.
However, unlike Lee Se-hee, who was hopeful, others also had a negative view.
“I guess I just bought some time.”
Everyone’s eyes focused on Jung Joo-ho’s words.
“The reason they split is because that country’s power structure is being distorted by a man who calls himself a god. “I will see and hear that it will go out of control if it is not kept in check.”
It’s a given, but I never thought there would be such pure intentions.
In particular, U Aye Cho exerts a strong influence on the Indochina Peninsula due to its symbolism. There is no fool in this world who would give up on that.
“The problem is that if this is seen as a power struggle, you lose. The other party is pretending to have good intentions and performing miracles. And all I want is pure faith. Whether or not it makes oneself subordinate, what people need is a miracle. “It means there is no fight in the first place.”
“I think the same thing. “A brief delay is possible, but other measures must be prepared.”
Since even Cheon Myeong-guk agreed with Jeong Joo-ho’s words, Lee Se-hee also no longer made her own claims.
“But the current situation requires this time. “For Junho, this moment is also important.”
“that’s right. “What I need is time.”
Over the past few days, I have been observing the situation and thinking deeply.
As smart people have already concluded, long-term battles are against me.
Yes, if you stay still, you will be at a disadvantage.
If so, there is no reason to waste time like this.
“When I thought about it, I came to this decision.”
This time, all eyes focused on me.
“There is no clear way to fight a short-term war, and getting caught up in a public opinion war in a long-term war is bound to be at a disadvantage. However, when trying to figure out a way, there is nothing clear. “Isn’t this the current situation?”
When I look at Cheon Myeong-guk and ask, he nods.
“Even if we remain silent, it is inevitable that public opinion will worsen due to the ongoing public opinion war. “I did it anyway, so trying to refute it would be like playing to God’s intentions.”
In the process, the self-proclaimed god will get what he wants, one by one.
This is why I initially called myself a swindler after seeing God’s response.
“So, I’ve been thinking about what the best I can do right now is. “It didn’t take long for the conclusion to come to fruition.”
“Superman, no way….”
So I decided to move in my own way.
If you express it in four letters, it is the previous pitch. It’s about bringing the opponent down to the battlefield you want.
Cheon Myeong-guk, who owns the simulation, seems to have figured out what I was thinking.
The person whose expression changed next was Jung Joo-ho. Although he was later than Cheon Myeong-guk because there was no simulation, he noticed because he had been working with me for a long time.
“Did you really think of that?”
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
“Don’t talk back! “I can clearly see what you’re thinking right now!”
Jeong Joo-ho, whose face was red, raised his voice. I just shrugged my shoulders.
“Junho, is there a solution?”
“What that guy came up with is not a solution.”
“then?”
“This is a very dirty situation that God created. The more you struggle to get out, the deeper you fall. But if you give up on making gains, it’s a different story.”
“no way?”
Lee Se-hee looks at me with surprise.
“If someone hates me, it’s good to make it clear why.”
That’s exactly the conclusion I came to.
The self-proclaimed followers of God who are currently waging public opinion wars against me are the ones who have suffered a loss to me.
What they said was 90% truth and 10% false, so the more I refute it, the more my image is inevitably damaged.
So there is no reason to jump into the trap set by a self-proclaimed god.
Instead, since they are hostile to me, I can give them one more reason to be hostile.
“It means you’re going to even more extremes.”
Jin Se-jeong spoke to me with a calm expression.
“you’re right.”
“I guess it doesn’t matter to you that public opinion gets worse.”
“I don’t think it really matters whether it gets worse over time or whether it gets worse sooner.”
Even if public opinion toward me worsens, I don’t think the rate of people believing in self-proclaimed gods will increase dramatically.
In that case, I will definitely deal with those who are hostile to me. I think he must have made this decision from the moment he started fighting with me.
“The real idea of Mr. Junho….”
Lee Se-hee was shaking her head but smiling.
Mercury is the only one who knows that it is not a magician. This also means that this method suits me well.
“I agree. “If you have already said that you are opposing God, then the image of opposing God would not be a bad image.”
Since we decided to go to the extreme, there was talk of going to the extreme.
Sehee Lee added logic here.
“It is said that there are many people who have experienced miracles, but those miracles do not happen to everyone. In that case, I think it’s best for Junho to firmly capture the side that doesn’t believe in God.”
“That’s a very cool reason.”
Even if that wasn’t the case, he would have moved, but it was true that Lee Se-hee’s support made it easier to move.
“Then move right away.”

Kieran Woodley’s life, once considered Britain’s divinity and promising star, began to unravel when he went on a hunt for Draculea, a plus-level monster.
As a member of a gathering of the most promising players in Europe at the time, he was full of confidence and was full of expectations that he would raise his name by hunting down Draculea with his colleagues.
As the hunt failed, many of his colleagues died and he was defeated and suffered from trauma.
Then I encountered it.
Headbreaker, who is said to be the world’s strongest superhuman and the worst superhuman.
At that time, he was trampled miserably. Headbreaker was a person with a completely different way of thinking than existing superhumans. There was no respect for superhumans, and his defeated pride was driven into the abyss.
When he later returned from injury, the headbreaker was far out of Kieran Woodley’s reach.
While they were looking for an opportunity to take revenge at any moment, a huge storm hit Europe.
It was the appearance of God.
Kieran Woodley, who saw the miracle performed by God, obeyed God without any hesitation. And he followed God’s will and criticized Headbreaker who dared to go against God.
No matter how powerful you are in the world, you will be safe under God’s protection.
He thought so.
Until someone who shouldn’t appear in front of you appears.
“Hey, wake up.”
Kieran Woodley opened his eyes to the voice coming from his bedside.
Did you bring a friend while drinking the night before? No, this is not my friend’s voice. But why does the voice sound familiar?
Feeling that his mood was getting very bad, he hurriedly got up.
There in front of me was a face I never wanted to see again.
“What about you?”
“Did you think you would get away with talking about me?”
“Now wait…!”
If you stay still you will die!
Kieran Woodley tried to leave in a hurry, but Choi Jun-ho’s hands were faster.
In an instant, he was grabbed by the neck and felt himself suffocating as he hung on.
“You think you’ll get away with something like this…”
Puck!
However, he lost consciousness and fell down without being able to finish his sentence.
It was the end of a superman who was once called the hope of England.

“Of course, if you see trash, the right answer is to clean up as much trash as you can.”
I looked down at the body of Kieran Woodley, his head crushed.
If this is discovered, anyone will realize that I did it.
But what’s wrong with that?
“If you’re a villain who will destroy the world, you have to show that level of skill.”
If you are dissatisfied, even the self-proclaimed god can come directly.
I didn’t care and left the place.
There were still many people left to kill.
