#Episode 40
And this must be made clear as well.
The Texas Gate was originally a S-class gate.
The one who cleared that gate was none other than ‘Jinsongi’.
It is clear that Jin Shihou existed and that he killed the apostle, but the system gave all the credit to Jin Song as if Jin Shihou had never existed in the first place.
There was no additional compensation or anything like that, but Jinsong thought something was strange at the time.
This is enough.
There is no need to think deeply or for a reason.
It was certain that I would receive an unimaginable, outrageous reward.
“Ready to have an accident?”
Let’s be clear.
Was it really Yoon Young-soo’s sole action to kill the president and threaten Lee Seong-jae, who is said to have the most power in Seoul?
Absolutely not.
Because Jinsong-i ordered it.
In the end, Jin Song-i is behind everything.
Jinsong is not a white person. He is a gray person with a lot of burden on his shoulders.
It was neither white nor black.
Gray that’s perfectly in the middle.
That’s true.
-I’ll prepare it. Come to Switzerland.
* * *
The rest of the process was simple.
When I arrived in Switzerland, I didn’t even have time to enjoy the scenery, just gave my sister who came to pick me up a quick hug, and then boarded the private plane.
The destination is, of course, Bolivia, which has an SSS-class gate.
On the plane, my sister and I looked at each other for a moment.
He just sat there blankly, without saying a word.
Sigh, we laughed.
He opened his mouth first.
“Honestly, it’s surprising.”
“what?”
“The whole world will be watching, so you accepted my offer to go in there with me.”
“It’s just difficult, but it’s not impossible.”
To be honest, I was a little curious.
In my case, I can enter the gate without anyone noticing me.
Of course, modern technology has advanced so much that you can capture a silhouette, but that can be solved by wearing a hat or mask.
But she’s not my older sister.
My older sister has not yet entered the ‘high-speed world’.
The power that the unique Awakened ones use is, to put it clearly, not something that ordinary people can use.
Of course, this applies not only to ordinary people but also to Mana users.
The power of the unique awakeners that my older sister uses was originally a power that only monsters that reached the ‘Talhonkyung’ stage could use, and is usually called the Talhonki, and the source of that power is the soul.
It is never easy to draw upon the strength of your soul.
‘If you think about it, the existence of these unique awakened beings is so strange.’
I haven’t met any other unique Awakened people, but just seeing one older sister was enough for me.
Where does the power they use come from, what is its principle, and what is its true power?
I was just using it without even knowing how to use it.
Normally, mana is weaker than natural energy, and natural energy is weaker than trance energy.
This is the law.
Those who have awakened mana to the extreme acquire natural energy, and those who have awakened natural energy to the extreme acquire the ability to escape from marriage.
However, the unique awakened people of Earth use the technique of escaping from a realm that only uses mana.
This is a huge discrepancy. It is a discrepancy that I cannot understand with my common sense.
To be honest, I couldn’t say it out loud because my older sister is a unique awakener, but before, I called the doppelgangers I dealt with ‘stupid bastards who couldn’t even use their power properly.’
They possessed bodies that transcended species and could use energy that transcended species, but their level of power was not even that of nature.
It was simple.
Because the balance is off, the power is not properly displayed. The doppelgangers’ ecstasy is a mediocre ecstasy. A ecstasy of that level can be blocked by a proper natural ecstasy, or it can even be pushed back.
They have great power in terms of regeneration, but they are weak in all aspects when it comes to attack or defense. The Awakened are similar. They are ‘just’ using power that does not fit their bodies.
Even if the Awakened ones were like that, there was something strange about the doppelgangers.
Should I say that it almost looks like it was made?
Of course, it’s not something to worry about. I’m going to kill them all anyway, so what does it matter? But not the Awakened ones.
‘This is definitely going to be a problem.’
Unbalanced power comes at a cost.
Although they may not feel it, all of the Awakened are now paying a considerable ‘price’.
This made me a little curious. What on earth is being mortgaged?
My older sister asked me that.
“What are you thinking about?”
“… … .”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Well, what do you think the necklace hanging around your neck is made of?”
My sister lifted her own necklace slightly.

“This? It’s just made of platinum. It’s also an artifact that contains multiple skills.”
“What if it’s actually not platinum but diamond?”
My sister blinks for a moment. What are you talking about?
That’s the look on his face.
My older sister, who had been thinking slowly, fiddled with her necklace with a strange expression.
“… … I get what you mean. I don’t really know the value of something I have, right?”
“Yeah. Then what is that?”
In the end, there was only one.
“It must be a sphere of light.”
“As I said before, it’s absurd to use the Talhongi when you haven’t even reached the Talhon-gyeong stage. But you’re already using the Talhongi stage.”
My sister listened to me quietly.
“If you properly ‘understand’ how the Escape Moment works and what the source of its power is, you will advance one step further than you are now.”
“How do you understand?”
When my sister suddenly asked me a question, I stared blankly at her for a moment.
To be honest, I have experience teaching several people at Titan.
But you are teaching the Talhon technique to a being who uses the Talhon technique without having reached the Talhon stage? This is too extreme a difficulty level. Even my older sister can’t handle the natural technique properly. She continued speaking with a complicated expression.
“It’s best for people to realize it on their own, but there are ways to force them to realize it.”
“… … How do you do that?”
“It’s a little dangerous.”
My sister smiled.
“I like riskier things more than you think.”
I just crossed my legs. My sister was talking now. She asked me to explain the method.
First of all, the method is simple.
“Let’s move on after clearly understanding the concept. All of the Awakened ones, including my older sister, can only use ‘Mana’.”
My sister nodded.
“That mana is energy that is processed and used from the energy of nature. It takes on a different form depending on each person’s body. To put it simply, it is by no means pure energy.”
“so?”
“If you can use the pure energy of nature that has not been processed, that is, if you can use the energy of Mother Nature, then you will become so strong that your current state will seem ridiculous. If you go one step further from that state, what you use is the Talhongi. The light sphere that my older sister uses is the Talhongi.”
My sister nods with a serious expression.
“No matter how much you like risky things, it would be crazy to take more risks when the balance is so unbalanced. So, let’s take it step by step.”
“Step by step?”
“You must reach a state where you can use the energy of the great nature. In the eastern continent of Titan, this is called the Golden Realm. In the western continent, it is called the Grand Master.”
Let’s get to the point.
“Let’s start from the Golden Mirror. I’ll trap you in a space created with my energy.”
“Just lock them up?”
“Of course not. Attacks will come from everywhere.”
My sister linked arms with me.
“First your vision will become blurry, then you will not be able to hear.”
“… … .”
“You won’t be able to smell, taste, or feel anything. The attacks will just keep coming.”
“… … It is indeed dangerous.”
“That’s right, it’s dangerous. More importantly, it’s not about confining the body, but the mind. Since it’s the mind, it will naturally regenerate quickly even if it gets hurt. But the pain will remain. How, do you want to do this?”
My older sister, who had been thinking for a moment, said to me.
“Shall I make myself realize it in it?”
“Yes. But, let’s make this clear. Don’t try to realize the Talhongi. You haven’t transcended the species. You’re still a human. There, realize the energy of Mother Nature. Form an inner layer in your own body and accept the pure and vast Mother Nature with your whole body. That’s what Mother Nature is supposed to do.”
My sister looked at me with a strange expression.
“Let’s start from the basics. Now that we’re on the subject, those doppelgangers can’t handle the Escape Skill properly either.”
“okay?”
“Oh. The reason why you were able to land a valid hit on those guys was because of your unique skill. If it weren’t for that, you wouldn’t have been able to even mix with the doppelgangers. In the first place, you can’t even use your natural skills properly, so it doesn’t make sense to use the unique skill called the Escape Skill. The balance itself is off. If the system hadn’t helped you, you would have died a long time ago.”
“Is that all?”
“I’m just understating things. In reality, it’s more serious. If the system stops supporting us with ‘malicious’ intentions, all the unique awakened people in the world, including you, will die on the spot.”
It’s simple.
“Because a mediocre body and enlightenment cannot support the power that cannot be handled. Let me emphasize this one more time. Realize the natural energy. Feel the power of Mother Nature. That is the main purpose. When you reach that level, even if the Talhon energy causes problems, it will only overload your body and it will be able to endure.”
“Are you sure?”
“If my calculations are correct, uh, sure.”
My sister swallows. Her eyes are already burning brightly. It’s desire. The desire to become stronger.
“If you want, I can do it right now, but what should I do?”
My sister looked around.
Still on the plane.
There’s about an hour left until we get to Bolivia.
“How is your sense of time?”
“It’s very slow. Ten minutes here is probably a year there? Two years? Something like that.”
Honestly, you could go faster, but then you’d have difficulty controlling the intensity.
Those who are quick-witted will know that what I am about to do to you is to modify the ‘Time Room’ used by the Heim Tribe on Titan in my own way.
By the way, this was used for torture on Titan.
It seemed like my older sister had already made up her mind.
“Do it. Right now.”
* * *
The air in Bolivia was very good.
Should I say it’s refreshing?
It was while I was looking at the blue sky that I stayed like that for a while.
Woohoo, a vibration sound rings.
I took my watch out of my pocket. It’s not my watch. It’s my sister’s watch. The caller’s name is Secretary Yoon Young-soo.
I just pressed the call button.
-Master, I have completed all the work you asked me to do. However, a problem arose midway and it seems we will need to replace the president.
“Are you going to change the president too?”
There is a brief silence beyond the watch as I ask my question.
-… Mr. Jin Shi-hoo?
“Yes, I will.”
-Isn’t that the Master Watch? Why is Mr. Jin Shi-hoo… … Are you switching now?
“It’s been a while since I’ve been on a plane. You didn’t notice?”
I guess I really didn’t know.
Yoon Young-soo lets out a sigh over the watch.
“But you’re changing the president? What does that mean?”
-… … I need to tell the Master, but are you still here?
“Yes, I’m here, but I’m not in a position to answer the phone right now.”
-There’s nothing wrong or anything, right?
“Of course not.”
-… … I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you anything without the Master’s permission.
