Episode 187
The man kicked the seat. He brought down the Heavenly Sword that was on his shoulder.
Phew-!
It grazed the man’s cheek. What flew into the air was a piece of his flesh.
That was it.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The man’s fist landed on my stomach. I was sent flying away.
Kwaaaaang, kwaaaaang, kwaaaaang.
I think we destroyed about four buildings.
I lay there in the rubble of the building, looking up at the sky.
Now that I look at it, the sky here is similar to the sky on Earth.
It’s clear and refreshing, as if there’s no fine dust…
“Do you want to know where His Majesty is?”
I turned my head to the side at the voice that interrupted my thoughts.
A man with blood pouring out of the side of his face.
A man wearing five cherry blossom ranks spoke to me.
“I am Masaru, the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency of the Empire of Japan.”
“so?”
“Break the throne, and I will tell you.”
Even at a glance, he is twice as strong as the police chief who was killed earlier.
What should I say?
It should be said that it is similar to the Dragon Lord of Titan.
He said with a smile.
“That’s easy.”
Masaru’s fist slams down on my face.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
* * *
Masaru Daishiro, Commissioner General of the Imperial Japanese Police.
His fame has already spread throughout the empire.
Not only the US and China, which were under the direct control of the Japanese ‘dukes’, but even Europe, which was under the direct control of the counts.
In fact, to be more precise, he was more famous by his nickname, ‘Gunshin (軍神)’ than by his real name, Masaru Daishiro.
Those called constellations are basically those who have transcended the species and learned to use the power of the soul.
When you are selected by the system in the middle, you become a constellation, and this process is called eclipse.
Therefore, whether or not to make a choice depends on the system’s choice and the will of the person receiving it.
Among the beings of the nine heavens, there are very few who become constellations.
Even if you don’t become a constellation, you can still watch the story of the stars.
In the past, Gunshin Masaru was also offered to become a constellation by the vassal, but he declined.
This is a story from 290 years ago.
The military lord Masaru has been reigning in the Japanese Empire.
The faithful hunting dog of the ascended? At least in front of Masaru, that business card has no meaning.
Platy, the emperor of Agar, trusts Masaru.
Although he occasionally stepped down from his position as minister to train younger generations, Masaru eventually became the minister of the National Police Agency in one way or another.
This was because there was no one who showed abilities as great as Masaru.
The number of times someone stepped down from the position of minister and then became minister again exceeds seven.
His power, his fame, his popularity, his character.
Not a single point can be left out.
Masaru is that kind of person.
His fist hits Jin Shihou’s face.
Kwaaaaang-!!
There was a loud noise and the ground collapsed. The area was over a radius of 1km.
Should we say that it is similar to the level of a meteorite falling?
Given the circumstances, it was clear that anyone hit directly by this attack would die.
However, Masaru just stood there silently.
His expression was not good.
I slowly turned my gaze to the side.
Jin Shihou was there.
Masaru’s gaze turned to the slight bruise that had appeared on the side of Jin Shihou’s face.
It’s a wound that didn’t exist until just now.
Then why did that happen?
Just now, Masaru’s fist was aimed straight at Jin Shihou’s face.
Jin Shi-hoo, who was lying on the floor, turned his face to the side and Masaru’s fist struck the ground.
These are the wounds that occurred during the process.
It was easier said than done, the distance was close and the speed was even more impressive. The fact that he was able to deflect the attack like that means that Jin Shihou’s ‘physical ability’ was beyond imagination.
Yes, physical ability.
“… … Really, he’s such an annoying guy in so many ways.”
Jin Shi-hoo smirked as he wiped away a few drops of blood flowing from the side of his face.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Masaru’s left foot takes a step forward. His waist bends and his shoulder muscles move.

Masaru’s right fist extended towards Jin Shihou’s smiling face.
A wave of strong energy is created in the air.
Jin Shihou extended his hand.
It was to grab Masaru’s arm.
but.
Kwaaaaang-!
Jin Shihou’s body was pushed to the side. His arms were cold.
“……oh…….”
It was an exclamation that came out without me knowing.
That was understandable.
I tried to grab it, but I couldn’t.
The power contained within is stronger than expected.
It was roughly two to three times stronger.
“It seems like your physical abilities are your strong point, that’s fortunate.”
“what?”
“I also have strong physical abilities.”
Kwaaaaang-!
As soon as he finished speaking, Masaru’s fist landed on Jin Shihou’s stomach.
Gulp, I’m pushed back.
The space between his eyebrows furrowed.
Just in case, I wrapped a double layer of self-defense gi around my abdomen. But more than 90% of it was broken.
A shadow falls over Jin Shihou’s face as he raises his head.
It was a fist.
Masaru’s clenched fist.
I immediately rolled my left foot and turned my body and head.
Phew, it brushes past.
He immediately raised his left fist upward and struck.
Creak-!
It hits Masaru’s chin. He then swings his right fist hard.
Kwaaaaang-!!
This time, Masaru was pushed backwards. A line of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
Masaru laughs and wipes the blood.
The sight was quite impressive.
“There’s no way this is all we have.”
Thump thump, Masaru, who had cleared his throat, extended his fist once again.
I just raised my arm. Instead of just raising it, I brought it towards my elbow in the direction the fist was coming from.
however.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Jin Shihou flies away just like that.
It hit the ground and rolled around three or four times before finally stopping.
My elbow is cold. I glanced at it and saw that it was broken. The protective gear covering it? Broken along with it.
Masaru was standing in front of Jin Shihou, who had raised his head.
“Who do you think the person in front of you is?”
“Um… …. A guy who hits a lot?”
“I am the Commissioner General of the Imperial Japanese Police Agency.”
“Isn’t that what you said earlier?”
“The title of Commissioner General of the National Police Agency means that he is ranked 5th in the current Empire of Japan.”
Jin Shi-hoo got up. He sat down in his seat and looked up at Masaru. So.
“Fifth strongest?”
Masaru squatted down in his seat.
“I am the fifth in terms of position, but I raised the fourth, the Minister of Justice, and the third, the Minister of Defense.”
“Oh, really? That’s amazing.”
Jin Shihou took out a cigarette from the subspace and lit it.
As soon as he lit the fire, Masaru reached out and grabbed the burning tip.
Oh, really.
“Can I have a smoke?”
“Your Majesty has not finished speaking yet.”
“Do I have to listen to you brag about yourself? This is so tough.”
Masaru continues speaking as if he doesn’t care.
“In the Empire of Japan, rank is important. But rank is not directly linked to military power.”
“Ugh… … . Who would’ve thought I’d see myself acting like an old fart at this age again?”
I tapped Masaru on the arm.
“Just let it go. Let me smoke a little.”
Surprisingly, Masaru let go of his hand. Jin Shi-hoo lit the fire again. Masaru continued speaking while looking at Jin Shi-hoo who was inhaling the smoke.
“In terms of military power, there are only two people in the Empire of Japan who surpass me, excluding Your Majesty.”
“Aha. So, if you only look at the ranking, you’re 5th, but in reality, you’re 3rd?”
Masaru kept his mouth shut for a moment.
Soon, he makes the same expression as when he realizes something he didn’t know before.
“You don’t know yet.”
“What?”
“It means the third strongest star in the world.”
Jin Shihou was genuinely curious.
“Should I know that?”
“Before you know, let me ask you one thing.”
“What is it?”
“Are you still not willing to give it your all?”
Psik, Jin Shihou bursts into laughter.
“There were always a lot of kids who said that. They said the same thing every time. Do you want to hear it?”
“Go ahead and try it.”
“You pull it out, if you can.”
“… … I see.”
As Masaru said that, he took out a cigarette from his bosom.
He slowly puts it in his mouth and lights it.
It seemed like he had something really important to say.
“So, they pulled out the power?”
“I can’t pull it out. Maybe you can’t either.”
At those words, Masaru quietly asked a question.
“4,848,484. Do you know what number this is?”
“What kind of marriage is that?”
“It must have been 12 years ago. It was when the story of the stars was foreshadowed in Star #2403. At that time, the corrections were made to the nine heavens.”
“What suggestion?”
“Star #2403 has had many variables at play from the beginning, so it is likely to flow in a very different direction from other stars. That is why we will introduce a zombie wave at the start of phase 2. Who would be a good fit to be the zombie emperor?”
“……so?”
“Some people have suggested various opinions. I am one of them. I have suggested a character with consecutive numbers. A character with consecutive numbers 4 and 8, character number 4,848,484.”
A faint smile appears on Masaru’s expressionless face.
“Wasn’t it after the death of a man named Jeongbin that you began to bite your teeth at Your Majesty and the other ascendants?”
“… … .”
“Come to think of it, the character number of the human named Jeongbin is 4,848,484.”
Masaru continues speaking, stubbing out the cigarette he had in his mouth on the ground.
“Let me say it again. Being third in command in a neutral star like Hancheon means being in a position to give ‘straight advice’ to His Majesty. It is impossible for someone as high as His Majesty to meddle in every single story of the star. People like me give His Majesty my opinions, and His Majesty relays the opinions he likes to the star’s stories. Are you angry about the death of Jeongbin? Are you suspicious of the sacrifice of someone you thought was yours? Look. The throne before you… … .”
“it’s okay.”
Jin Shihou slowly stood up from his seat.
It was the opposite of the situation before. Masaru was crouching down, and I was looking down at him.
Jin Shihou’s face was cold.
He roughly threw the cigarette he had in his mouth to the side.
“It’s you.”
Masaru laughed again, as if he found Jin Shihou’s appearance amusing.
“Yes, it is I. I started it.”
Jin Shihou took out a new cigarette without saying a word.
“Jungbin died by my hand. I am the one who started your fight. Be even angrier. It’s not enough. Jungbin is just the beginning. In the story of Star #2403 that will unfold, the people around you will die one by one. In the end, your sister, Jinsong, will die too.”
He listened silently and put the cigarette he had taken out in his mouth.
