Enemies of the World (5)
This world is unreasonable.
Some people are born with almost everything, while others have to survive with nothing but their bare bodies.
And it wasn’t just a story about living things, including humans.
The difference is also in the ‘world’.
There are dimensions with abundant energy and diverse mysteries, while there are also dimensions with relatively monotonous mysteries, and there are also dimensions with excessive energy.
But they also had something in common.
It was the fact that there was a ‘God’ who was in charge of and managed the world.
…Except for Earth, which holds no mysteries.
The birth of an awakened person and transfer to another world due to the intervention of the Akasha System is not a simple blessing.
that···.
“Hmm.”
··· Breaking through the hazy thoughts, my mind suddenly rises.
Suddenly feeling as if he had passed through a long tunnel and come out, he unconsciously took a deep breath and looked around.
There is nothing, everything is pure white… no, it is a space of nothingness where color differences cannot be clearly distinguished.
It was now a place as familiar to him as home.
“···Tsk, is it Earth?”
A voice whose age and even features could not be determined was scattered through the air.
To be precise, it was his own territory that he had set aside to avoid the causality of the Earth, but that would not be an important issue.
‘Hahoe mask.’
Suddenly, the last image of him sticking his hand into his heart and laughing darkly came to mind.
I never imagined that I would meet him in another world.
As a result, the connection with Outerica, which had been connected at best, was completely cut off due to an abnormal method of escape.
“I never thought such a variable would suddenly pop out. “It’s not easy either.”
Beoncheonhoeju quietly closed his eyes and slowly clasped both hands.
Unlike before, I felt an unprecedented power coming into my hands as all restrictions were lifted.
Gooooo—
However… I couldn’t help but feel that the sense of loss in my heart became clearer in contrast to that.
No matter how much you prepared in advance, you can’t be indifferent when some of your hard work has gone in vain.
‘···Still, I’m glad I found out about him before it was too late.’
Since ancient times, information has been the most important factor when doing anything.
In that sense, it is safe to say that learning important information about the enemy named Hahoetal, who was a hindrance in every situation, was a plus factor in advancing the cause.
It was not something that could have been tolerated if it had been figured out in advance that it could have caused greater losses later.
···Even if it isn’t, I’ve decided to think that way for now.
I didn’t know that if I went into it more deeply, he would be harsh and take out his anger on me.
He shook his head as if to shake off complicated thoughts and took a big step forward.
Ji-profit—
At the same time, the space right in front splits.
The next moment, he was already standing in a completely different place.
A living area filled with high-end furniture, home appliances, and gorgeous decorations in a spacious space.
He walked naturally and entered the office provided on one side.
Once I returned to Earth, I wanted to inform my command and receive a report on what had happened.
Unintentionally, I didn’t think there would be any significant changes since I wasn’t away for that long this time…
“Wait a minute, Oracle. “Tell me again.”
-···Okay, Hoeju.
From No ble mt L dot c om
In just that short period of time, the Buncheonhoe that remained on Earth were facing a serious cataclysm.
-Not long after Hoeju left his post, Hahoetal attacked the Shanghai branch. As a result, the head of the East Asia branch, Yulryeongja, died…
Oracle’s report continues calmly.
The ensuing chaos in China and the loss of several additional transcendents were not such a big deal compared to the events that occurred afterwards.
“The European branch was attacked and even manipulated by Korean vampires? And a doctor too?”
-Yes, Hoeju.
The corners of Buncheonhoeju’s mouth twitched at the oracle’s answer coming over the communication line.
Even though I didn’t feel good about the loss, I couldn’t help but feel irritated when I heard bad news one after another as soon as I returned.
“So, what about the doctor?”
-After suffering from the aftereffects of resurrection for a while, he went into hibernation to remodel his body. I heard that the expected time is approximately one month…
“I’ll have to catch two or three times that much.”
-I’m guessing so too.
Beoncheonhoeju gently closed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers.
‘Not only Hahoe Mask, but also a guy called Phantom?’
The fact that the Doctor had set up a trap to capture the vampire known as the Phantom but ended up being defeated was not that important.
The scale of these incidents was on a completely different level from the branch’s withdrawal from Korea and the defeat by Hahoe Tal in Japan.
It was not something that happened in a small piece of land on the outskirts, where it didn’t really matter if ignored, but a real threat that extended to their main stage, the world.
-And one more thing…
“···What else is there?”
From what I’ve heard so far, it’s quite a troubling problem.
But what else is there here?
-I think it would be a good idea to see this for yourself.
As soon as she finished speaking, several video files appeared on the monitor.
In terms of time, it happened before the previously reported events, but the death of the branch leaders and the doctor was so important that it was pushed back.
“Hoo, is that kind of divine power on Earth?”
The video started with the full story of the hospital terror attack in Korea and the storm of divine power captured from afar.
Interest appeared on Beoncheonhoeju’s face as he looked at it.
Of course, compared to the one who had the power of an angel, it was nothing special, but using that much divine power in a human body was definitely surprising.
Besides, isn’t this an Earth where the power of divine power is greatly limited?
‘If it’s at that level… ‘Yes, considering that it is Earth, he would be at least the champion of Outerica that I met this time.’
I could see why Oracle was interested.
Certainly, if such a priest suddenly appears, we need to look carefully.
“for a moment.”
But that sentiment lasted only for a moment as the video progressed and detailed information about the White Knight began to be revealed.
Before I knew it, Beoncheonhoeju’s expression had hardened.
In the silent office, only the sound of the video resonated softly.
-“Yes, I am from what you call the Outerica Dimension. To be more precise, we could say that we are not from Earth, but from another world.”
It happened just a few hours ago.
How can one forget the person who plunged a sword into one’s chest?
Of course, at that time, the opponent was wearing his helmet deeply, so I couldn’t directly check his face…
-“According to the will of the Lord, to eradicate the evil that hangs over all dimensions, including our Outerica.”
Such trivial things were no problem.
He stared at the young American man in the interview video and burst out laughing when he saw the familiar armor he was wearing.
“···Ha ha ha ha ha! “This is truly absurd.”
It was so absurd that I could only laugh.
I thought he was at the level of Outerica’s champion, but I never thought he was actually that person.
A person from another world who came to Earth?
It might be possible because there is also a case called Hahoetal, including myself.
To be honest, I was personally very skeptical, but since he didn’t know all the laws of the universe, it might be possible.
‘But is it just a coincidence that he’s from Outerica?’
No way.
No, if it were just that, it might have been a coincidence, but when the existence of Hahoetal was added to it, it simply couldn’t be dismissed as such.
If a coincidence repeats itself several times, it is already inevitable.
And that thought became confirmed after all reports were completed and communication was terminated, and I received the information about ‘Phantom’ sent by Oracle as reference material.
Although he was wearing a mask, he had a somewhat familiar look, like a white knight.
There was no doubt about its identity.
‘Where did it go wrong? There must be a reason why things went so wrong.’
Beoncheonhoeju was still sitting in his seat, lost in thought.
Although I have been working to lead changes in the world from the beginning, I did not expect that an event that could be called an inflection point in history would come out of nowhere.
For an event of this magnitude to occur, a number of quite complex conditions would have had to come together.
Didn’t Oracle always check the situation of each branch to prevent this from happening as much as possible?
“···No, there was a sign. “The very beginning of the appearance of Hahoetal was unusual.”
An unidentified black magician who was born in Korea, a blind spot of observation, and showed hostility toward them as if they were enemies.
His appearance was the beginning of all variables.
Also, maybe he really lost his enemy.
That’s what he and Beoncheonhoe have been doing so far.
‘These incidents all started in Korea.’
It may have been a mistake to plan indirect control through China and Japan to effectively respond to uncertainty in Korea.
Even if it meant drastically delaying the plan, it should have been rooted out early on.
“Tsk, there’s nothing we can do about what happened in the past.”
Looking at the situation, it seemed highly likely that the Akasha System had drawn its sword to respond more actively.
They must have judged that suppressing him through causality alone, as they have done so far, is not enough.
‘In that case, no matter how much we blocked the cause in advance, the problem would have arisen in the end one way or another.’
In other words, he could be said to be an opponent of fate arranged to stop him.
Hahoetal, Phantom, and Heinrich.
I don’t know if any of them are real or if it’s all of them…
Tsuzu that is—
When Beoncheonhoeju stood up and took another step, his body was sucked into the void of space through a crack that appeared in the air.
The intention was to avoid causality by saving as much time as possible on Earth for the most necessary moments.
‘But I don’t intend to just suffer.’
Variables were constantly arising and the plan was being disrupted, but his job did not change.
It continues to expand its power on Earth, broadening its influence, and building up its divinity by swallowing up the possibilities of other dimensions.
If they are the saviors arranged by the world.
He is a traitor who goes against the fate of the world.
Because he was the enemy of the world.
***
I could express how I feel right now in just one word.
‘full.’
It did not mean physical satiety.
Rather, it could be said to be a feeling closer to mental satisfaction.
That’s right…
『Holding Karma – 5,520,398』
How could you not feel that way when you look back at your wallet, which was thin until recently, and now it has become so full?
‘I saved up the remaining points ahead of the fight with Beoncheonhoeju.’
Of course, there was no way he could afford to save points before a fight with an opponent like that.
In order to increase the odds of winning even slightly, it is natural to use up most of the karma to strengthen status and other skills.
‘I only left enough to use 『Skill Cool Time Reset』 for 「Gather Objects」.’
However, when everything was over and I looked back, I realized that in that short period of time, I had accumulated over 5 million points!
Of course, I couldn’t help but feel full just by looking at it.
After smiling brightly, I sat down and began to think carefully about how to use these abundant points.
‘Strengthening unique skills…isn’t possible yet? Well, it wasn’t long ago that we got the “Individual Gathering”.’
Currently, the karma required to strengthen unique skills is 2 million.
The points were sufficient, but it seemed like time was still needed to further strengthen them.
‘then···.’
Honestly, what I’m interested in right now is 『Dimension Barrier Relief (6,000,000)』.
Baron experienced when he first chose 5 million, this could be said to be an option that reduces the gap between each dimension.
Holy power, abyssal magic, and easing restrictions on summoned animals are only very basic effects.
‘If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to go to Kang Hwan-gye.’
Of course, this was possible not only because of ‘relaxing dimensional barriers’ but also because various conditions were added, but if those items were not there from the beginning, it would not have been possible to even start.
‘But if we strengthen it once more…’
First of all, it is certain that restrictions such as divine power will be further relaxed.
The task of moving to that world through memory may also become easier.
But what are the additional effects that can be expected there?
‘Of course, you should definitely try it yourself.’
The wait probably won’t be that long.
Even at this very moment, karma is increasing rapidly, so you will be able to check it for yourself soon.
But then.
Suddenly, another item caught my eye.
『Random guitar skill acquisition (500,000)』
A random skill that is no different from gambling.
gulp-
I started drooling without even realizing it.
The two skills selected so far were “Xenogloss” and “Strongness.”
“Xenoglossy” was an ability that could be considered a winner, but “Robustness” was a bit disappointing… To put it bluntly, it could be said to be close to a failure.
‘So, plus or minus zero.’
Yes, it was zero.
In other words—if you think about it, now is the real beginning!
‘Let’s do it just one more time.’
Really one last round.
···Shouldn’t we get our money’s worth?
