Episode 514

“Stop staring and come out.”
There was a pillar in the shade. A man leaning against it with his arms crossed turned away.
He walked slowly. There were two glasses on the table, and the man sat down in the same spot where the blood demon had been sitting just a moment ago. It was a very natural movement.
His hair was white. He was wearing a white robe. He was in his mid-to-late 40s.
He looks very similar to Taegeukgeomje Jongunseong, but strictly speaking, he is different. Jongunseong was old, but this man was somewhere between young and middle-aged. Of course, I am only talking about appearance. If you look at his age, he is probably in his mid-to-late 70s, so he is similar, but not inferior.
The white-haired middle-aged man sitting there spoke.
“I am Baekma Danribaek.”
It’s a white horse, Danribaek…
Jack kept smiling. He said with a smiling face.
“It must have felt strange.”
“What?”
“You’ve been in the same place since the Blood Horse was there, so you must have heard everything, right?”
“I heard.”
Jack nods.
“You’re pretty good at hiding your presence, and you’re not an assassin.”
“Assassin… … I will do whatever is necessary.”
Jack didn’t seem to care. He quietly poured himself a drink. It was his own. Then he asked briefly.
“So what’s the purpose?”
“Purpose… … Nothing much. I was just curious.”
“You were curious? What?”
“About a man like you.”
Jack felt that this man was quite strong.
First of all, he is definitely stronger than the Blood Demon. If not, the Blood Demon would have noticed this man.
He seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, then spoke slowly.
“As we heard from ‘Cheonwol-nim’, we observe the world.”
It goes without saying, but there are always factions in any organization. After all, everything is done by ‘people’, so this is an inevitable fact. The same goes for the Western Continent, Cheonwicheon, and this Cheonma Shingyo.
I could be sure of it with just one word. First of all, the blood horse is a Bancheon horse. This white horse in front of me, Danribaek, is a Chincheon horse.
Blood Horse referred to Vice-Cult Leader Cheonwol as ‘that bastard’, and White Horse referred to him as ‘Cheonwol-nim’. That was enough. But.
“Observation?”
“It’s about achieving balance. It’s about achieving order.”
He lifted his glass full of alcohol with a smile. As soon as he took a sip, he burst out laughing.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Just because it’s funny. I’ve had something really good happen to me. So I can listen to most things. Tell me the rest.”

“… … Good. Let me finish. You came from the forbidden, right?”
“To be exact, I came from the Empire of Milos.”
“And you’re sitting on the Emperor’s throne?”
“You’ve done a lot of research. It looks like the Cheonmasingyo isn’t just stuck here.”
The white horse’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He said.
“I’m curious. About that continent. I’ll give you some information you haven’t heard from Cheonwol. For example… … Aren’t you curious about what happened between the Black Demon Clan, the Black Demon Spear Emperor Xiahou Dun, and the Black Demon Clan?”
The white horse’s words were quite appropriate. Xiahou Dun is now Jack’s subordinate. He is a resident of the Western Continent. No one does not know that. Then it is not bad to know about his past. It is common sense to think that way. White horse was aiming for that. However.
“I’m not interested.”
“……what?”
“I’m not interested. Even if I were interested, that’s something I should hear from Xiahou Dun, not from someone who’s been hiding like a rat. Right?”
“… … .”
“As I said before, I’m in a good mood today. So I’ll ignore everything I overheard. That’s all for now. Go play with your friends and get out of here. Don’t bother talking to strangers.”
The relaxed expression on Baekma Danribaek’s face, which had always had a small smile on his lips, completely disappeared. He had frozen like a plaster statue. He had become cold.
“Do you know what the remnants of the fallen Jinwoo and the Sacheon Alliance are doing?”
“I don’t know, what does it matter to me what they do or don’t do?”
“Do you know who is behind them?”
“I don’t care about that either. Should I know?”
“You should know. Because the lives of those around you are at risk. And that forbidden place is in danger.”
Look at this.
“Right now, the remnants of the legendary Jinwoo and the Sacheon Alliance’s dark king Jucheo and the Sacheon Alliance’s warriors are heading to the Western Continent.”
Jack’s eyes fluttered as if he was hearing it for the first time. It wasn’t just Jack. Valentine’s eyes, sitting next to the glass, also fluttered.
The white horse continues speaking.
“Ultimately, you’ll see. Why would I wait there?”
“I don’t know.”
“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I was just waiting.”
“what?”
“Your turn.”
Jack chuckles. Then he pours more wine into his glass. Baekma Danribaek continues.
“Let’s say that a being called Ragnarok appeared. After that being is killed, shouldn’t we discuss what happens after that?”
“I don’t think I’ll do it with you. Should I do it with you?”
“That may be unknowable. But if you’re not an idiot, you wouldn’t want the Eastern and Western Continents to be in a state of tension after Ragnarok. Don’t you?”
That’s true, but this kid’s speech is a bit like that. Why do you talk as if the Heavenly Demon Sect is in the sky? Dan-ri-baek said to Jack, who was thinking like that.

“It’s not like I’m asking you to sacrifice your country or anything. I’m saying let’s establish friendly relations from now on. Let’s write a treaty or something like that. In other words.”
“in other words?”
“Let’s form an alliance, that’s my goal. With that gift, I will stop the Four Heavenly Alliance.”

Oh, this is driving me crazy.
“Why do I feel like I’m laughing so much?”
“… … .”
“I heard that Cheonma went into hiding?”
“You know a lot.”
“Are you doing this because you want to score some points with Cheonma who has entered the closed room?”
“… … If we really have to be picky, then yes, that would be true.”
I took a sip of the alcohol. The thought of it being sweet came to mind again, and I burst out laughing.
It wasn’t a light laugh or a burst of laughter or anything like that. It was a burst of laughter.
Hahahahahahaha-!
“Hahahaha. Ah… … This is driving me crazy. Did you take your medicine?”
“……what?”
“Or is it senility? A madman is raving all night. Just get out. Before I tear you limb from limb.”
Danribaek closes his eyes.
The atmosphere calmed down. He opened his eyes.
“I tried to be nice to you from the beginning, but you are really rude.”
I poured myself another drink without saying a word.
“You’re not only young, you’re also overly arrogant. Seriously. You’re rude, you’re even presumptuous.”
Jack put down the bottle of alcohol. It was quite interesting to hear from you earlier.
“A white horse, Danribaek?”
“… … Yes. My name is Danri Baek. I am the leader of the White Horse Cult, one of the five sects of the Cheonmasin Cult.”
He laughed quietly.
“You’re the one who’s being rude. That bastard named Cheonwol is the same, and so are you. Why are you, an unauthorized person, causing trouble?”
“A guy without… authority?”
“The Four Heavenly Alliance is heading to the Western Continent? That’s a problem for our children to handle. Or do you really think that our children can’t handle something like that?”
“… … .”
“Did the Western Continent look that easy?”
Dan Libaek was out of breath. Jack spoke to him.
“Thank you for the good information, but stop there. I’ll spare your life, so go now.”
“… … .”
“Why? I told you to go?”
“… … I can’t do that. It really bothers me that you call me an unauthorized person.”
Jack clicked his tongue lightly and curled his fingers. Then he flicked the glass in front of his nose.
The wine glass that flew at the speed of lightning turned into dust and scattered right in front of Dan-ri-baek’s nose.
The atmosphere became tense.

“How many times do I have to give you a chance to go?”
“… … I am different from the blood horse.”
“Oh, you look different at first glance. You’re really sinister.”
“… … You’re choosing the worse option.”
“This is the best policy for me.”
Dan-ri-baek glared at Jack. Jack smiled and said. The atmosphere changed very naturally.
“You, now you can’t just go back. But I am generous. More generous than you think. If you kneel down and crawl on the floor from now on, I can get away with cutting off all your limbs.”
Dan-ri-baek kept his mouth shut. He glared at Jack with his mouth shut. He was telling him not to hurt his pride, not to cross the line. Not to go any further. That was what he was saying with his eyes.
A deep smile spread across Jack’s lips.
“You don’t answer. You must have been so impressed by Jim’s face that you became mute.”
A crack appears between Danribaek’s eyebrows.
“You cheeky brat.”
Danri Baek rushed in.

At that moment, a man opened his eyes in the closed room.
He slowly stood up from his seat. His presence itself enveloped the entire room.
He was tall. He was in his late 6’0’s. He was naked, his pants off. He wasn’t wearing any underwear.
He was just wearing a long coat as an overcoat.
He looked quite small for his height, but looking at his body, the word small never came to mind.
His entire body was covered in muscles, and the muscles were denser than expected. Some people call them lean muscles, and all the Heavenly Horses of all time were like this.
Their bodies were always fast, their thoughts were faster, and their will was faster than light.
His hair looked a little unkempt. A bit curly, I guess. He closed his eyes quietly.
It makes me laugh.
I had no idea.
Cheonma Yeongjeong thought. Why did I come to this closed place?
Because I felt it. The flow of fate, an unavoidable necessity.
A visitor came from the Western Continent. When I thought for sure that he was the one mentioned in the Apocalypse, I had this question.
In the Book of Revelation it is written:
The stranger may visit and Ragnarok may be revived, or he may not visit and Ragnarok may be revived. Both cases can happen, but they cannot not happen. One of them will definitely, definitely, happen.
Now that the visitor has arrived, how will Ragnarok be resurrected when the visitor has not arrived?
Something felt strange. When I thought about it carefully, it really was strange.
At that time, I heard this story.
There is news called ‘Reverse Emperor’.
The stranger from the West is the Emperor of the West. He means the supreme ruler of that continent. He is young. Fifteen years old.
That’s all in just 15 years. It didn’t make sense. He was too young. But everything was resolved when he heard that he had turned the tide.

If he reversed the tide, then his power would be explained, and why the Apocalypse was split in two would be explained. If he is the standard, then everything would be explained. Except for one thing.
What on earth is he?
Who on earth is he that turned the Emperor and got involved with Ragnarok? Why does the Book of Revelation say that Ragnarok will be resurrected when he doesn’t visit?
The Revelation was written under Dharma’s subjectivity. That subjectivity cannot be absolute. The contents of other Revelation maintained a certain degree of objectivity, but the last part, about Ragnarok, was divided into two. It was enough reason to think more deeply.
Did he see Ragnarok? What did our Eastern Continent do in the world before he reversed the tide? Did he see Ragnarok and fight it?
Honestly, I had a lot to think about. A lot, and this was one of them.
Could it be that the man named Jack Milos is Ragnarok?
