Chapter 776
There are some unanswered questions in the world.
The relationship between the turbulent world (亂世) and the hero (英雄) was one of them.
Did a hero emerge and a turmoil ensued?
Or maybe it was because of the turbulent times that heroes emerged.
Although many years have passed, there is no clear answer that satisfies everyone.
However, even those who insisted on the former had no choice but to turn to the latter in the face of a cataclysmic history.
A great war that will never happen again in human history.
The cataclysm that destroyed all common sense so far gave birth to countless heroes, and soon pushed them into the pit of death.
Leaving only their names and achievements.
However, there were also many heroes who survived.
Right now, the Capitol, full of traces of glory, and the giant at its center
Like those who stare endlessly at the round table.
“Huh. It’s still here. It’s the same air I felt that day.”
“It has changed a bit. When did that picture come about?”
“What are you saying, brother? It’s already been 30 years. Didn’t you attend the celebration then?”
“I didn’t.”
“No, why?”
“Because I didn’t want to remember those days again.”
Even if you gain power that transcends humans, not everyone will stay young.
In the passing time, the gray-haired old man muttered in a hushed voice.
“There are a lot of empty seats.”
Those who survived had to suffer a sense of loss as great as glory.
Where did the comrades-in-arms who were sitting around this very round table and screaming, fighting monsters coming from all sides with their backs to their backs together?
“I will come here again
I didn’t think… …
Like a twist of fate, it eventually came back.
To this place where traces of glory and pain remain. To swear to once again become humanity’s sword and shield.
And the empty seats of those who had already left were being filled with new faces.
“Hello, senior.”
“Who are you?”
“My name is Liam. I saw him during the defense of Frankfurt, but I don’t remember him either. haha.”
“I’m sorry. Maybe because of my age, I don’t even recognize the comrades I fought with.”
“no. It’s understandable that you don’t know. I was fifteen then.”
“Fifteen. Then maybe?”
“yes. It was one of the citizens in the bunker. You may not remember, but you saved my life at the time.”
“Huh, it can’t be.”
It is not only giant trees with strong roots that survived the typhoon.
Once a seedling, once a weed, a seed
Those who were mere children also grew up and qualified to sit at the round table.
However, among the heroes of the past and the present, only a few exchanged warm greetings as in the case above.
It was partly because of the current situation of mankind facing a serious crisis once again, but also because each other’s values and direction were different.
Who will they elect to represent them?
That was the most important topic of discussion here today, and the old and young heroes
was formed naturally according to each person’s will.
In addition, there were two people who could never be left out at the center.
Michael Silbert, who had a great reputation and major, insisted on re-establishing the World Hunter Federation before anyone else.
and… … .
‘Jin Tae-kyung.’
Michael Silbert murmured a person’s name in his mind.
While exchanging endless handshakes and greetings with his followers, his deeply sunken eyes looked over their shoulders.
He was staring at the young man in the back.
‘What the hell was that? The meaning of that word is.’
The voices of flattery around me feel far away.
What echoed in Michael Silbert’s ears just now was a word he had just heard.
‘It’s a bit disappointing. That I thought I’d be able to hold you by your ankles just like I did before.’
The voice has already dispersed, but only the memory is clear.
The shock I felt at that moment without realizing it.
At the same time, my heart, which had always calmly subsided, started to beat faster and faster.
‘for a moment. no way?’
The gray eyes that were looking at Jin Tae-gyeong shook slightly.
After a lot of reasoning, one hypothesis came to mind. Also, it’s the only way Nom■ can stop himself now.
but… … It can’t be. It is nonsense.
‘It’s next to impossible for anyone else to notice. No, it’s impossible.’
Only one person was able to do that. It was only Cheon Tae-min.
Even he, who had reached the one-of-a-kind (進一無三) stage, only felt something passing by at the time, and Michael Silbert, who immediately sensed it, had to lie flat on his face like a wanted man for a long time.
Until Cheon Tae-min hid his hair from the world.
Until you’re sure his attention has turned away from you.

‘But in this situation, Jin Tae-gyeong, not Sky?’
Feeling the anxiety that was slowly building up in his heart, Michael Silbert shook his head inwardly.
no. The words he said were nothing more than mere bravado.
A bluff to peek at the last gap in a situation where everything is over. A final push by those who intuit defeat.
But why?
Even when he thought it was a bluff, the image of Jin Tae-gyeong, whom he had just met, kept rising like a haze and covering his eyes and ears.
‘What is your intention?’
one word.
‘Why did you do such a thing? For what the hell?’
One more word.
‘This is pity, not fear. You could call it disillusionment.’
those faces and eyes. calm voice.
What Michael Silbert felt for the fresh blue young man, who had only lived half his life, was clearly a feeling close to his heart.
‘And if that’s true… … Guguk.
Unknowingly, the sound of bones shifting from the grips where strength was applied resounded.
when it spread Someone’s suppressed voice awakened his mind that was locked in thought.
“Hey, guild leader?”
“hmm?”
“Go, why did you suddenly move your hand… …
“ah.”
Recognizing the mistake he had made inadvertently, Michael Silbert loosened his grip.
One of his followers, who was shaking hands with him, tried to laugh through the pain.
“It is also indeterminate. I’m a tanker too
Since I’m from there, if it’s pure strength, I won’t lose anywhere, but the guild leader is really amazing.”
In this unexpected situation, the S-class hunters who were watching the surroundings and the owners of the giant guild collided.
“cancer. Not like that.”
“haha. Did the Odin guild become the best for nothing? The name Michael Silbert has been famous since Cataclysm.”
“Actually, this was Paul’s fault. Did I see clearly that you gave me strength first? ha ha ha.”
Flattery under the guise of praise and laughter
mixed up
Michael Silbert watched them and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.
yes this is power
That’s why you have to get power no matter what.
The actions of the strong are always justified. by the weak who fear the power he possesses.
Even if they don’t respect themselves, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you’re not loved.
If only I could make you afraid
If you reign instead of Tao, you will have everything in the world.
Michael Silbert first realized this truth in a back alley in the 10th arrondissement of Paris.
He realized the way he had to go by looking at the gangsters roaming the streets with guns stuck in their waists and the people who were afraid of them but did not dare to report them.
‘This is the world.’
Michael Silbert, who smiled softly at his followers, suddenly turned his head.
If you have already retired once,
I saw Jin Tae-kyung, who was usually seated with the elders who remembered the scent.
Along with the faces he knew well.
Archmage Magic Johnson. Chuck Hagel resigns as Secretary of Defense after the vigilante incident. Even Hong Kong’s Pai Chen and Britain’s Prince Felix.
Even in this event where key figures from all over the world gathered, they were prominent figures, but the number did not exceed half of the three hundred.
‘The old generation would have only looked at Sky, and the new generation would have followed Jin Tae-kyung.’
But if Cheon Tae-min’s condition is revealed, who will they support?
A grandson who is only a continuation of his lineage?
Or Jin Tae-gyeong, who often showed a young and reckless side?
Even Magic Johnson, who has enjoyed outstanding achievements and popular popularity, is inferior to his fame and name.
‘You wanted it, you didn’t want it. In the end, there is only one person left.’
It is yourself.
For a long time, with greater ambition than anyone else
who is ready.
Now, in Michael Silbert’s eyes, they looked like sand castles about to collapse.
‘but… … I should always be prepared just in case.’
Michael Silbert casually put his hand in his pocket.
And the moment I pressed the pager in my pocket to send a signal to someone, I met Jin Tae-gyeong’s eyes.
A pair of reddish eyes.
The heat contained in it is transmitted intact
As soon as I passed, a burning pain felt like burning from the nape of my neck that was hidden by the armor.
..u n
..’〒
“Oh. Why?”
“Mr. Silbert. Are you inconvenient?”
“I brought the potion just in case, but fortunately… …
“It’s okay. It’s nothing, so there’s no need to fuss.”
Michael Silbert, who answered firmly to his followers, gave Jin Tae-gyeong a grand look.
With a heart of concern that he might have seen himself now.
I’m trying hard to suppress my anxiety.
However, Jin Tae-kyung’s eyes were looking elsewhere, and Michael Silbert regained his composure at the sight of a person sitting next to him.
No, a monster in human form would be an accurate expression.
‘Stone King.’
As long as he exists, the center of that round table will be himself.
It must have been.
– All attendees have gathered, so please be seated.
Finally hearing the voice coming through the speaker, Michael Silbert clenched his fists tightly.
Even though the inauguration ceremony began, people’s mouths did not close.
No, their voices, which had been conversing in a small whisper, grew louder and louder.
“All attendees gathered?”
“No way. You must have heard it wrong.”
“Perhaps there was a minor misunderstanding.”
The same was true of the old generation, which was divided into elders, and the new generation, who newly attended. Because I couldn’t see the one person who was supposed to be here.
However, even after everyone sat down, the words heard through the speakers earlier had not been corrected, and people finally realized.
That Tian Tae-min, the savior of mankind, would not appear.
Not only today, but also tomorrow. the next day too. Maybe until this second great war comes to an end.
“What is this… …
“Sky, where is he?”
What everyone thought was a mere hefting turned into a murmur, which soon caused shock and confusion.
and at some point
that buck that buck
A person who got up from his seat moved toward the center of the round table.
