54 – Episode 54 – Otherworldly Chaos Destruction Gallery
A room unusually filled with light.
Although it was bright to the point of hurting the eyes, the woman sitting on the chair comfortably rested her chin.
In front of her, a man was bowing down.
With pain-filled groans, sweat flowed from him like rainfall.
In a voice tinged with fear and embarrassment, he could only atone.
“I’m sorry.”
“Why couldn’t you complete the mission?”
“It’s my fault.”
From the man’s perspective, it was unfair.
He believed that he had perfectly executed the task, and the truth was frustrating.
He stole the man’s information, rough knowledge of the target’s location.
With the help of the Order, he confirmed the target’s location and carried out the job.
The target’s heart had stopped, and just to be sure, he stayed until the body grew cold.
Worried that others might notice something strange, he had even repaired the broken door.
There was no interference from others and no suspicious areas.
A perfectly completed task, with nothing to criticize!
Yet, somehow, the fact that the dead target was resurrected.
He had become a failure.
“Resurrected…ha.”
“It sounds incredible, but the target was truly dead.”
“It seems there was a divine intervention.”
The woman’s eyes narrowed slightly.
An act against natural order and discipline is a blatant favoritism of God.
Intervention of the divine to this extent was an anomaly.
There was always potential for intervention, no matter what penalties received going forward.
Even if Judd was killed, one couldn’t rule out the possibility of a resurrection.
“Does his existence carry such worth?”
Quite a lot of divinity must have been expended.
Enough to justify the cost of saving him?
The woman slowly blinked her eyes.
The only other option then, is to hamper Judd’s functioning, even if he was alive.
“We change the strategy. Let that fellow erase his own place in the gallery. Summons those who dissatisfied with the gallery.”
“We will proceed as the headquarters commanded.”
“We will destroy the gallery. Judd’s place will lose all its meaning. A new era of order is coming.”
One step forward.
If successful, the gallery will take a heavy hit.
The woman snapped her fingers.
“Bring me the list of those who are willing to cause trouble in the gallery.”
“Yes.”
A figure dressed in white garments just like the woman, handed her a piece of paper.
The list was long, full of names.
Those who held many grievances against the gallery, those who suffered due to the actions of Judd.
Or those antisocial elements, ubiquitous in the world, simply wishing for its destruction.
Even from these, a carefully culled-out list of the ones best fit for causing chaos in the gallery.
Those who desired to seek revenge on Judd from the gallery.
Or those who were simply dissatisfied with the current world.
The woman flicked her fingers with a satisfactory smile.
Suddenly, a light converged into a form of a pigeon and scattered in all directions.
Among the numerous letters that flew out, one headed towards the imperial capital.
“Is that so.”
The emperor who picked up the letter, immediately understood the reason for the invitation.
The empire had suffered from every movement of Judd’s.
On the surface, the emperor had no reason to like Judd.
But the Emperor was nothing more than a man who had his heart stolen by a hair loss remedy.
He was about to burn the invitation, but then he hesitated.
‘What in the world is this gallery drinking party…?’
A small curiosity tempted the emperor.
Shouldn’t he at least confirm what these people are?
The Emperor sneaked subtly into the gallery’s drinking party.
***
The Emperor read and analyzed the magic circle on the letter in his hand.
“Hmm…”
It’s a spell that bestows Mana… The soul and the Mana Core become entangled. And then something activates.
The ceremony of engraving a so-called ID was a quite dangerous spell.
But even if the magic is activated, wouldn’t it be possible to save this one body?
The Emperor trusted himself. No, he trusted the artifacts wrapped around his body.
If it’s the Empire’s artifacts, they will protect the body no matter what happens.
He raised his hand above the invitation.
A very faint pattern was engraved on the back of his hand.
It was a small pattern that nobody would notice.
And then..
The space where he stood was flipped, and the room became another place.
The actual place did not change.
Rather, it was the light that has conjured up the surroundings with intricate illusions.
Inside the illusion-created space, there was a massive table.
‘This feels so real….’
It feels like it’s actually here.
The letter seated at the Emperor’s spot was E.
There were about 20 people participating in this place, but the faces of the others could not be seen.
With their bright silhouettes, it was hard to make out the features of the others.
Moments later, someone’s voice seized the place.
“Everyone, we have gathered. A fair number of you have attended by your own will.”
The voice was magically processed, making it hard to discern who it belonged to.
But there’s something else I know.
The one speaking is a silhouette of a woman with long hair.
There’s a pressing feeling in her voice.
She’s far from ordinary…
There’s no way a user of such magic could be an ordinary person.
Even the Emperor had never experienced such a strange oppression before.
“I’m quite delighted that you’ve all gathered here in the gallery with such negative thoughts.”
If one harbored negative thoughts, could they be seen as antisocial? Some kind of oddball?
The Emperor looked around.
No matter how you looked at it, it was quite difficult to discern who the silhouette was.
There was one with a peculiarly long mustache.
It was clear who that had to be.
But the others were ambiguous.
The woman continued to speak softly.
“I’d like to express my gratitude to all of you for attending the first subversion meeting of the gallery… the sole aim of this gathering is the destruction of the gallery.”
“…!”
The destruction of the gallery!
What sort of vile and terrifying idea is this!
The woman’s silhouette stretched out her hand, smirking slyly.
At that moment, the space filled with light.
And a feeling of light flowing is palpable.
The light was slowly taking over, perfectly seizing the space.
“If only we can destroy the gallery, I promise anything.”
The Emperor broke out in a cold sweat.
Even though it was an illusion, an enormous amount of mana was felt from the light.
Is…is this person real?
An amount of mana exceeding human capabilities.
How could such an entity exist on this continent?
While he was bewildered, the others began to speak, one by one.
“That’s good to hear. Finally, a gathering of those disapproving of the gallery. Quite likable indeed.”
“If only I could avenge the one who’s responsible for my 1000 days ban.”
“Do we just need to attack the gallery?”
Each word is laden with intense malice.
All of them are dissatisfied with the gallery…!
Various conversations took place among them.
“How about creating a new tactical weapon? For the grannies and grandpas. And there are far worse things in the world.”
“Deliberately leaking false information… so that the majority of people will develop a dislike for the gallery..”
“It’s about manipulating public opinion quietly. If we spread conspiracy theories…”
“How about spreading bad rumors about the gallery?”
“What about lowering the value of the gallery itself?”
“That’s a good idea.”
“….”
Shivering, the emperor’s legs trembled with this heavy malicious intent.
These rogues, after all, just want the gallery to fail.
Fanatics who wish for destruction…!
True destroyers not caring about the impact on the continent.
‘What is this…?’
But still, the gallery’s existence is better than experiencing a great depression.
He took hair loss medicine, the empire is healthy, and the cola is good too.
He felt like it would be difficult to blend in with these guys.
He should escape…!
But the woman’s comment sealed the Emperor’s thoughts.
“So let’s conclude the first meeting of the ‘Gallery Raid’. Please all make sure to attend the next one. I will be watching. Everyone’s actions.”
“….”
The words coming from the woman, who is a formidable figure, sounded ominous.
It’s a threat, isn’t it? ‘You know what will happen if you don’t?’
The Emperor, set free from the welcome magic, realized it.
You’ve been kidnapped.
He has inadvertently joined a gathering he can’t easily escape from.
Can he escape this gathering…?
But what if they decline… do they give up this crucial information?
The Emperor was in a dilemma.
Leading the destruction of the gallery, giving up the empire’s economy and hair.
(Enemy of the continent)
Running away like a member of the coward’s club.
(Scaredy-cat)
The other options were…
Working as a double agent and extracting information.
(Awesome)
The Emperor’s concerns did not last long.
‘Retract support for Juddack… Consider an attack on Juddack as an attack on me now.’
He laughed bitterly.
***
After Juddack headed towards the empire.
Beatrice, the queen of the Osen Kingdom, sighed softly.
She didn’t exactly know what would happen when he went to the empire.
But she did not think that something happy and nice would happen.
The empire, a place filled with all kinds of traps.
In it, Juddack would probably… Do a lot.
‘I am very suspicious of exchanges.’
This too might be a trap.
But Beatrice was not worried about that part.
It’s not that she didn’t know how to play chess at all.
Rather, her skill was not poor but belonged to the level class.
The problem was that Juddack’s level far exceeds that, and the record against Juddack was disastrous.
If it were Juddack with that skill… he would probably win overwhelmingly.
She did not doubt Juddack, but she had other worries.
‘Is everything okay as it is?’
Juddack acts as earnestly as if he is dedicated to the kingdom.
What will be left if everything is distributed like this?
In her ignorance of this, the debt of her heart grew inside her chest.
Feeling as if she was only a burden to him, she felt a pang of guilt.
“….”
She pressed her chest with her hand.
If this continues to pile up one by one, wouldn’t her heart go bankrupt?
If that day comes, she might go haywire out of guilt and gratitude.
She wanted to give him a reward suited for him… If it’s a reward… what would he like the most?
It was someone’s knock that broke Beatrice’s deep contemplation.
“Your Majesty.”
“Yes. Come in.”
It was a subordinate from the kingdom’s intelligence department.
He bowed his head quietly, handing over the report he brought to the queen.
“A report from the gallery.”
She began to read, flipping through one page at a time.
It was filled with writings from the gallery.
Although the queen was blind to the gallery, she was not uninvolved.
Lurking is indeed a part of participation.
She too was participating in the gallery.
“Hmm….”
Perhaps it was when he arrived at the empire.
After a brief pause in his activity, he resumed.
And he seemed to have escaped from the empire.
At this rate, he would arrive in the kingdom in a day or two.
The queen put her mind at ease, believing nothing would happen.
While continuing her lurking with ease.
The queen discovered a peculiar breadcrumb.
“A gacha of Majeros…?”
It was a gacha from another world.
