Rise of Chaos (3)
From the beginning, the undead had no choice but to be ostracized from the world.
Aside from its basically hideous appearance, it would be unpleasant for the living to see a dead body move as if it were alive.
Also, since the undead who have violated the world’s providence instinctively yearn for life, when they face the living, they go beyond jealousy and even hate it.
In the first place, peaceful coexistence between them was impossible.
And here deep in the northern mountains.
The vicinity of the immortal castle was a place where such undead were enormously concentrated, literally a ‘sacred place of death’.
Mountains, rivers, and vegetation had already dried up from the energy of death emanating from their overwhelming numbers, and the air around them was so polluted that even healthy people would vomit blood and collapse in no time.
Probably, anyone facing this scene would not hesitate to choose this place when choosing the hell that descended on the human race.
Less- Less!
[Kyaaah—!]
Hard-!
At that time, the crowd of undead that had been crammed in was splitting into left and right sides.
In the meantime, two beings emitting a particularly strong energy of death approached the entrance of immortality.
[I don’t know how long ago this was the king’s call. Don’t rush.]
With the knight of hell, Doom Knight Drexler, who was over 3 meters tall and clad in black armor.
[… You always called only a few executives, what happened this time?]
It was General Spartoi Trev, a mercenary soldier wearing a helmet shaped like a dragon’s skull and wearing equipment made entirely of bones, such as skeletal armor.
As usual, they were hunting monsters at the outermost part of the realm, and were returning in a hurry after receiving a sudden call.
From noble mtl dot com
After the undead poured out from the border of the abyss, quite a lot of time had passed since the Immortal King began to move in earnest.
In the meantime, the Undead Army has been steadily working on gathering troops scattered not only in the western part of the continent, but also in other regions, and thanks to that, most of the surviving members of the Corps have now gathered in one place.
Of course, among them were not only ordinary Undead, but also a considerable number of high-ranking officials who had made remarkable contributions under the former Immortal King.
The two beings here right now were also part of them.
Trev, a dragon soldier made using even a dragon heart, is the highest ranking officer in the 10th rank in the battle order, and he was a monster that had been roaming the continent for a long time even after suddenly falling into the middle of human society, and had joined relatively recently.
‘Until then, I was really looking forward to it because I thought something would start right away.’
The road to Daejeon past the entrance of the immortal castle.
Trev brooded over his dissatisfaction, recalling a thought he had already had several times.
When he first heard the news that the Immortal King had been resurrected and settled in the northern mountains, he too was delighted and rushed to join the Immortal Army.
In order to once again burn this one body in the continental conquest plan that was not completed in the previous generation.
However···.
‘If this is the case, it would have been better before I came here.’
He was an undead with a stronger desire for slaughter than others.
So right after he got out of the boundary, he was having a fierce day, steadily slaughtering humans even in an environment where there were only enemies around him.
‘What the hell kind of play is this? Instead of fighting a war with the human world, this mighty immortal army is stuck in the mountains like this, hunting monsters!’
To him, who only wanted to enjoy slaughter to his heart’s content by joining the Immortal Army and standing at the forefront of the war, the order from the Immortal King to ‘don’t kill humans recklessly’ was nothing short of lightning from the blue sky.
He was trying to quench his thirst by hunting monsters now, but monsters stained with madness could not satisfy his desire.
‘Ah, that’s not enough. Humans, we need humans! I want to celebrate with those screams and blood! How long do I have to spend it like this…?’
He had heard the story of the three-year probation he had with the hero.
It was only a laugh, but since it was the king’s decision, I tried hard to understand it, thinking that there must be some deep meaning.
However···.
‘What kind of bizarre thing is it to send only clumsy, clumsy people! Do you really intend to conquer the continent?’
In addition, when he was selecting troops to be dispatched to the continent, he requested several times to send himself, but even that was ignored.
At the same time, the only ones sent were the chaff undead with a large number, and the Mojiri black magicians who did not know where they came from.
He couldn’t help but understand the current situation.
[It has arrived.]
In the midst of that, Treve suppressed the dissatisfaction that rose to the tip of his head and doubted the Immortal King’s true intentions.
I-
When he saw Drexler, who was next to him, open the huge gate of Daejeon, he immediately took his heart.
No matter how much dissatisfaction he had, he couldn’t dare to express it in front of the Immortal King.
[Are we the last?]
Inside, nearly twenty high-ranking officials were all gathered and prostrate on the floor.
All of them were within the 50th rank of the former Immortal Army, and they were mankind’s worst enemies who had caused countless casualties.
The two casually intervened between them and bowed to the empty throne high up.
This immortality was a space created solely by the power of the king, so if he wanted to, he would always be there…
[Did everyone gather?]
…Because I was able to appear, just like now.
[So it is… King… Everyone received the king’s call…]
[Ah— that’s it. Everyone must be busy, but let’s keep things simple.]
In fact, except for Olivia, the head of the intelligence department, and a few other executives, there was nothing very busy, but everyone just quietly bowed their heads and waited for the king’s next words.
[Now the entertainment is over.]
And the words that came out of his mouth.
[I’m getting tired of playing around, so now I need to have this continent… The world.]
Considering the king’s appearance so far, it was a bit of a sudden declaration.
But there’s no way a being like the Immortal King would bother joking about something like this.
The executives who finally realized this began to slowly heat up.
[Kuhuhh— Of course, this time, you guys will step forward yourself.]
Also, the bodies of some of those who were prostrating at the king’s words that continued there were greatly shaken—.
‘…I lacked faith. As expected, the king…!’
It was a word that Trev and other executives had been waiting for a long time.
***
The undead, which were growing in tens of thousands without purpose, began to be organized one by one by the high-ranking officials of the immortality.
I wouldn’t know if it was when I was stuck here like before, because it was efficient to prepare an army for a full-scale invasion of the continent.
While everyone is moving so busily.
‘As expected, it wouldn’t be nice to break the promise of a three-year grace period. It’s a shame, there’s nothing better to supply and demand karma than an all-out war.’
Hannibal, the immortal king, sat leisurely on the throne, reviewing the progress of the work and once again examining his future plans.
‘It doesn’t matter if I don’t keep my promise, since the reputation of humans means nothing to me anyway…’
Isn’t his purpose really not to conquer the continent, but to efficiently supply and demand karma?
Of course, if he did this, he might end up destroying the world as a result, but he needed to take care of Heinrich’s face for the smooth progress of the ‘home theater’ that was in progress.
‘The three-year suspension has already become Heinrich’s achievement. If this body violates it here, the saint’s honor will be damaged.’
The church as well as other powers were in a situation where they believed in the saint’s conviction that there would be no full-scale war for the next three years and proceeded with the work.
But what if that trust is broken?
‘Heinrich’s credibility will suffer a fatal blow, and that will be a major obstacle to his future work.’
That was something he didn’t even want.
Considering what happened after that, the flaw would inevitably be a hindrance to supplying and receiving karma in the long run.
‘Anyway, when the main body wakes up, it will go back to the original policy. Then you’d better think about what happens after that.’
He is a great immortal king who has reached the state of transcendence.
He, of course, was aware of the fact that he was taking a radical step differently from usual.
The fact that if it was before, he would not have gone this far because he had the body’s sanctions.
‘It’s a stupid idea. But no matter how you think about it, this is right. About a month from now, I’ll have to make the most of my work within that time.’
In other words, Hannibal’s current condition was that the brake of self-restraint was broken, and he was stubborn while drunk.
Rather, he believed that his body was affected by useless emotions and his reason was blurred.
‘It’s a method, it’s up to you to make it. All I promised was that there would be no full-scale war, wasn’t it?’
If that was the case, it would be enough to use the promises made with Heinrich more actively.
‘More places, more numbers, stronger elites—.’
Raid across the continent.
Of course, the sacrifices of innocent people that will happen in the process.
He didn’t know any more.
***
‘It’s a big deal.’
Heinrich, frowning, rubbed his forehead and let out a deep sigh.
‘Hans started moving in earnest.’
Taking advantage of the gaps in which the main body lost consciousness, it was literally running out of control.
In fact, since Han Seong-hyeon had several brains, unconscious control continued even when he was asleep.
Just like when a person breathes or walks, even in such a situation, he is aware of his body and does not move.
‘But things are different now.’
Not only did the control of the main body completely disappear, but Hans’ self-control was also completely blown away in the aftermath of the abyss erosion.
Even though Hans must have been in touch with the thoughts of the other avatars, just as Heinrich had grasped his psychology, he was running in a straight line, thinking only his own thoughts were correct, not caring about them.
Really, there was no such thing as a nuisance.
‘O Almighty Lord. Please light the way through this adversity.’
Heinrich, who was struggling with that troublesome situation, unknowingly closed his eyes and prayed with his hands joined together.
“…Saint? Are you okay?”
And he realized where he was now when he heard Cardinal Cordelia’s worrying words from beside him.
‘This.’
This is the conference hall where the Continental Summit is being held.
He sighed and groaned alone in the middle of the meeting for a long time, and then out of nowhere, he even started praying.
Naturally, the eyes of the representatives sitting at the central round table were also fixed on him from earlier.
Except for Heinz II, who was also deep in thought with his arms crossed.
“Ah… I’m sorry. I will…”
Heinrich, who was trying to apologize to them with a smile on his face, stopped him again and tilted his head slightly.
Come to think of it, isn’t now the best opportunity to inform the current abnormal situation and prepare a response, when the representatives of each faction gather in one place?
‘The sooner you respond, the better. So, this is an urgent agenda… Um?’
In his gaze, which was all the way through those seated at the table.
St. Riesta, who was restless as if she was uneasy about something, suddenly caught her eye.
Seeing her like that, it naturally reminded me of a conversation she had with her right after hunting her white giant.
‘At that time, I’m sure… He said that the Immortal King was uneasy about something. They said something big was going to happen in the future.’
Apparently Rie Star is still like that, and she must have already sensed something at that time.
In fact, her sympathy with the main god might have been felt indirectly as she was much stronger than that.
‘…If there was such a thing, it would have been nice if the revelation was given more clearly.’
If possible, he would let himself know as well.
‘I can’t help it because it’s still due to my lack of faith.’
Heinrich, who had gone so far in his thoughts, reverently held his hands together and prayed a short prayer to the Lord.
He soon turned his gaze and slowly opened his mouth to those who were looking at him.
“Just now, the Lord gave me a revelation.”
Fire-
With a divine aura that naturally spreads from his body.
The lies came out as naturally as breathing.
“The Immortal King is preparing an attack on a different scale than before. . . . And, we must prepare for it in advance.”
Avatar’s personality is a part of Han Seong-hyun’s personality expressed.
And that was maintained regardless of whether the main body was in a state of unconsciousness or not.
‘Even the Lord will tolerate this much. Because he’s a big man.’
Even if it was Heinrich whose faith and piety were blown up, apart from that fact…
This was his original look.
