#Episode 66
“Okay, okay. I’ll tell you. The East is Cheonwicheon (天外天), and the leader’s name is Yuha. Have you heard of it?”
“I’ve never heard of this before.”
“… … Well, there’s no way South Korea would learn from Chinese textbooks. Then, if I say Emperor Han Fei, would they understand?”
“What is a one-time payment system?”
“Liu He, the grandson of Emperor Wu of Han and the 9th emperor of the Han Dynasty, the King of Changyi. He is the leader of the Heavenly Heaven. He is a monster that rules over all of Asia, including East Asia.”
“Is the realm the same as yours?”
“… …Honestly, he’s stronger than me.”
This is surprising. In my eyes, Helena is no match for our older sister, and even if she were to move to Titan, she would be considered quite a strong person.
“Then what about the Illuminati?”
“Lazarus Blood. Commonly called Dracula. Originally, the Blood family ruled Europe from the underworld, but the Illuminati found Lazarus. After that, they became subservient to Lazarus, and now all of Europe, except for the United States and Asia, is under Lazarus.”
I nodded roughly. Lazarus Blood. It’s a cool name. I’ll save it for now.
The most important question was asked.
“Why did you leave the doppelgangers alone?”
“Because I’m strong.”
“Strong?”
“To be honest and blunt, originally, the Earth was ruled by the Underworld. We were the original superhumans that appear in the media. But after the cataclysm happened, they showed up. We fought them at first. But they were too strong. Far from overwhelming, we were pushed back. Fortunately, even among the apostles, there were factions, and there was one person among them who could communicate.”
“Because it exists?”
“There was a truce. The leaders of the three forces, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and the Heavenly Heaven, all came together and joined hands. Fortunately, the apostles didn’t seem to have any intention of causing any major problems on Earth. That was how the truce, which wasn’t really a truce, lasted for ten years.”
He took a cigarette out of his pocket.
I thought for a moment as I lit the fire.
No, I tried to think about it.
“Sir, I want one too.”
He opened the pack of cigarettes and thrust them in, and took one out, put it in Helena’s mouth, and even lit it for her. We smoked like that for a while.
I fell into thought again.
Let’s see, the other side of the world, no, the Underworld, is huge even if you just hear about it.
The doppelgangers are obviously idiots. But that doesn’t mean they’re stupid. If they were to gather together, the Underworld and everything would be destroyed in a day. So why do they leave the Underworld alone?
“Why did the doppelgangers abandon the Underworld?”
“I don’t know the exact reason, but I think they have their own purpose.”
“purpose?”
“They said that the Underworld would help them fight the System later. They were the ones who first proposed a ceasefire. That, the first apostle, Asura, to be exact, he was the one who proposed it first.”
Let’s be quiet, Helena continues.
“They only have one condition. Don’t reveal their existence to the world. If you keep that, they won’t support the Underworld or interfere with your work. There’s no reason to refuse, right?”
It’s not enough. I think he was the director. Since he’s the director of an organization called Freemasonry, he’s no different from the head, so it would be easier to just kill him. Yes, that’s right. Let’s just kill him here.
The moment she thought that, Helena’s eyes turned red. She had sensed my killing intent.
But the more I look at it.
“You have pretty eyes.”
“You can just kill me and take out these two eyes.”
“He’s not that crazy.”
Smoke rises from between Helena’s red lips.
“mister.”
“why?”
“Are you going to kill me?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“I feel a little bit like that.”
“How is it, how do you feel?”
“I don’t like it. I really don’t like it.”
I looked at Helena quietly. Her expression was definitely not good. She continued.
“We might be able to help.”
“What help?”
“Sir, the story that Freemasons rule America is not an exaggeration. Our intelligence is the best in the world. Anyone who wants to find something, find it. If you need anything, let me know. We can help each other. What you’re worried about is the possibility that we’ll turn against you. Isn’t that right?”
There is nothing more ridiculous than an ant that is trampled to death on the road being hostile to a person. I nodded, thinking that was somewhat true.
“I am the head of the Freemasons. If I do not antagonize you, the Freemasons will not antagonize you. At least the American side has nothing to antagonize you. We can sort everything out on our own. Sir, does it seem like I am antagonizing you right now?”
“It wasn’t there before, but I can see it a little now.”
“Good job, sir.”
“why?”
“I know you’re strong, but I’m not weak enough to be treated like shit right in front of you. Me.”
It was a split second. Helena’s hand reached out. She turned her head slightly to the side. It brushed the side of her head.
“What does it mean?”
“What do you mean, let’s see what your skills are?”
She was smoking a cigarette, and then she spits it into the sea.
“I know you’re overflowing with confidence, but I just can’t sit still.”
A red haze began to rise around Helena’s body. It was interesting. This was a proper ecstasy.
She stretched out her legs with all her might.
Oh my god.
I was hit in the stomach and was pushed back two steps. I raised my head.
Helena’s red-stained hands reach out to me.
She swung her left arm. Helena’s hands shot out of the air.

“You won’t regret it?”
“I think I’ll be honest.”
I kicked the seat right away. I was right next to Helena, in a perfect blind spot.
“But why?”
She turns her head. Look at her face.
Kwaaaaang-!!
He hit me with his fist.
She gets stranded at Larson’s Beach.
Helena, covered in sand, lifted her head. She met my gaze as I looked down. Helena answered my question before I hit her.
“No matter how much you regret it, no matter how much it looks like you’re going to lose, there are times when you absolutely cannot back down.”
“Is that it now?”
“Sir, it’s not right for the head of an organization to live in shame.”
Helena reached out. The blood that had been streaming down her face reached out to me. She murmured softly.
“Blood explosion.”
Kwaaaaang-!!
#Chapter 4
Jin Shihou said, “Won’t you regret it?”
Helena had said that she would regret it, of course. Now, Helena was definitely regretting it.
Couldn’t we have talked better? Couldn’t we have had a deeper conversation?
It’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
Jin Shihou’s determination seems too firm. There is no room for error.
But that doesn’t mean I just wanted to die without a fight.
At least, I wanted to show the power of the organization called Freemasonry.
Vampires deal with blood. You could think of them as a kind of blood wizard.
Explosion is a skill unique to Helena, just like the unique Awakened ones, and is one of the skills she is most confident in.
Jin Shi-hoo, who was hit by the technique, did not step back, but instead just looked at the flying blood stream with a look of wonder.
Surely that guy is a monster.
They are no match for each other. They are on different levels.
Did you pick a fight for nothing? It would have been easier if you had just kept quiet.
The fact that he even thought such a thing was humiliating, and his anger burned even more fiercely.
Sleeping? That’s funny. You can never sleep.
I couldn’t back down.
The organization was insulted, and Helena herself was insulted.
The man so easily ‘denied’ everything that Freemasonry and Helena had built up.
Even though that wasn’t the nuance, Helena took it that way.
An organization that can disappear at any time. An organization that has no need to exist in the world.
I’m angry.
In this situation, bow down? Step back? That’s ridiculous nonsense.
Once again, a red haze rose around her body.
Her aura was so thick and threatening in itself. The sea trembled, and so did mana.
Mother Nature is moving. At her gesture, the great seas all around rise up at once.
Jin Shihou raised his head.
“He’s a minister.”
There was nothing but the sea around us. But the sight of the sea rising up all at once was truly spectacular, a sight that could hardly be described with the word spectacular.
Helena cried out with determination.
-compression.
The sea all came crashing down on Jin Shihou. Jin Shihou surprisingly remained still.
The sea naturally covers Jinshihu.
The strange thing is that the sea was ‘compressing’ just as Helena said.
Even at first glance, the amount of water that should clearly exceed tens of thousands of liters appears to be only a few dozen liters.
That’s what happened, literally compressed.
A trickle of sweat runs down Helena’s forehead. She can’t stop.
Again, the surrounding sea rose up.
The sea moves simultaneously toward Jin Shi-hou, who is in the compressed water.
It was a repetition of the previous process.
Compressed, compressed.
It’s a simple principle.
The weight of water is heavier than you think. The weight of 1 liter and the weight of 2 liters cannot be the same. It is the same even if it is spread out.
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
And millions more.
That the amount of water being compressed to this extent now means that it directly interferes with the physical laws of nature, and also means that its mass remains the same.
Now, Jin Shihou was receiving power from millions of kilometers.
however.
Why am I so anxious?
Helena let out a breath.
At that moment, a flash.
Light bursts out.
It was visible in Helena’s eyes.
The compressed sea is released all at once.
Just as Jin Shihou was amazed, Helena also forgot the situation for a moment and was amazed.
It was spectacular.
It was mysterious and wonderful.
And in the middle, Jin Shihou appeared without any damage, and without even a trace of wetness on his body.
Our eyes met.
It was creepy, it gave me goosebumps. I tried to jump back, but it was too late.
Kwak-!
Because Jin Shi-hoo, who came up to me in an instant, grabbed me by the neck.
For a moment, this thought occurred to me.
It’s unexpected.
Why is this man smiling with his eyes right now?
There was one more thing that was unexpected. Jin Shihou started saying strange things.
“What was the life of a vampire like?”
“……what?”
“I asked him what his life was like, since he must have lived for hundreds of years.”
“… … It was boring.”
“What moved you in that boring life?”
For a moment, his mouth shut. On the other hand, Jin Shihou’s mouth remained open.
“When you first gained power, what was the promise you had in your heart?”
“… … .”
“Do you still have that resolve?”
“What do you want to do now… … .”
“Your soul is crying out right now. Let me go.”
“… … .”
“Think about it. The promise you made when you first started, the miracle of the moment you first stepped foot into the world.”
I was speechless. My head was spinning like crazy, and my heart was pounding like crazy.
The speed of blood flow through the body increases in an instant.
“Anger is the easiest emotion to express. Who was your anger directed at first? Didn’t your anger sweep away innocent people? What was the target of your anger?”
