< Enemy of the World (5) >
This world is unreasonable.
Some people are born with almost everything, while others have to survive with nothing but their bodies.
And that wasn’t just a story for living things, including humans.
The same goes for the ‘world’.
While there were dimensions with rich energy and colorful mysteries, there were also dimensions with relatively monotonous mysteries, and even dimensions that were overflowing with energy.
But they had something in common.
It was the fact that there was a ‘god’ who was in charge of and managed that world.
···Except for the Earth, which holds no mystery.
The birth of the Awakened and their transfer to another world due to the intervention of the Akasha System are not mere blessings.
that···.
“Hmm.”
···My mind suddenly becomes clear of my hazy thoughts.
As if he had come out of a long tunnel, he took a deep breath and looked around without realizing it, as if he had suddenly become aware of something clear.
There is nothing, everything is pure white… no, a space of nothingness where you can’t even distinguish the colors properly.
It was now a place that was as familiar to him as home.
“···Tsk, is this Earth?”
A voice whose age and even characteristics were impossible to determine was scattered into the air.
To be exact, it was a unique domain that was built separately to avoid the causality of Earth, but that was not the important issue.
‘Hahoe mask.’
Suddenly, I remembered the last time he had been seen, with his hand stuck into his heart and a sinister laugh.
I never imagined that I would encounter him in another world.
Because of that, I ended up completely losing connection with Outerica, which I had managed to escape through an abnormal method.
“I never thought such a variable would suddenly pop up. It’s not easy, after all.”
Byeoncheonhoeju, who had his eyes closed, slowly clenched both hands.
Unlike before, I felt an unprecedented strength taking hold in my palms, free from all constraints.
Gooooo—
However… I couldn’t help but feel the sense of loss in my heart become more vivid in contrast to that.
No matter how much you prepared yourself in advance, you can’t help but feel indifferent when some of the hard work you’ve put in has gone to waste.
‘···Still, I’m glad I found out about him before it was too late.’
Since ancient times, information has been the most important element in any task.
In that sense, it would not be an exaggeration to say that learning important information about the archenemy Hahoe-tal, who had been a hindrance at every turn, was a positive factor in carrying out the great undertaking.
If I had known in advance that it could cause greater damage later, I wouldn’t have been able to tolerate it.
···Even if that’s not the case, I’ve decided to think that way now.
I didn’t want to dig any deeper and end up getting angry and taking it out on him.
He shook his head as if to shake off his complicated thoughts and took a big step forward.
Ji-i-ik—
At the same time, the space right in front is split.
The next moment he was already standing in a completely different place.
A living space filled with top-of-the-line furniture, appliances, and gorgeous decorations in a spacious setting.
He walked naturally and entered the office set up on one side.
Once he returned to Earth, he wanted to inform his subordinates of the fact and receive a report on what had happened.
I didn’t think there would be any significant changes since I wasn’t away for that long this time, but…
“Wait, Oracle. Say it again.”
-···Okay, Hoeju.
In that brief moment, the remaining Burning Crusades on Earth were facing a serious cataclysm.
– Not long after the King left, Hahoetal attacked the Shanghai branch. As a result, the East Asia branch manager, Yulryeongja, died…
The Oracle’s report continues calmly.
The ensuing chaos in China and the subsequent loss of several more Transcendents were nothing more than a minor setback compared to the events that followed.
“The European branch was attacked and even tampered with by Korean vampires? And the Doctor too?”
-Yes, Hoeju.
The corners of the monk’s lips twitched at the oracle’s reply coming from beyond the communication line.
I was already upset because of the loss, but I couldn’t help but feel annoyed when bad news followed immediately after my return.
“So, what about the doctor?”
– After suffering from the aftereffects of resurrection for a while, he went into hibernation to reform his body. I heard the expected time was about a month…
“I guess I’ll have to catch two or three of those.”
-I guess so too.
The host closed his eyes tightly and tapped the table with his fingers.
‘Not only Hahoe Mask, but also a guy called Phantom?’
The fact that the Doctor had set a trap to capture the Phantom, a vampire, and had been caught in the act, was of little consequence.
The scale of these incidents was on a different level from the withdrawal of the branch in Korea and the beating that Hahoe-tal received in Japan.
It was not something that happened in a small remote land that was ignored, but a real threat that spread to the realm of the world, their main stage.
-And one more thing···.
“···What else is there?”
From what I’ve heard so far, it’s been quite a headache.
But what else is there here?
-I think it would be better if you saw this for yourself.
As soon as she finished speaking, several video files appeared on the monitor.

If you look closely, it happened before the previously reported events in terms of time, but the deaths of the branch managers and the doctor were such a serious matter that they were pushed back.
“Wow, such divine power on Earth?”
The video began with the full story of a hospital terror attack in Korea and a storm of divine power filmed from a distance.
A look of interest appeared on the face of the monk who was watching it.
Of course, it was nothing compared to him who had the power of an angel, but it was definitely amazing to use that much divine power in a human body.
Besides, isn’t this Earth where the power of divine power is greatly limited?
‘At that level… Well, considering that it’s Earth, I guess I’m at least at the level of the champion of Outerica that we met this time.’
I think I know why Oracle was interested.
Certainly, if a priest like that suddenly appeared, we need to look at it carefully···.
“for a moment.”
But that feeling is short-lived, as the video progresses and more detailed information about the White Knight begins to be revealed.
Before he knew it, the expression on Beoncheonhoeju’s face had hardened.
In the silent office, only the sound of the video echoed softly.
– “Yes, I come from what you call the Outerica dimension. To be more precise, I am from another world, not an Earthling.”
It happened just a few hours ago.
How could one forget the one who plunged a sword into one’s own heart?
Of course, at that time, the opponent was wearing his helmet pressed down deeply, so I couldn’t directly see his face…
-“According to the will of the Lord, to eradicate the evil that has spread throughout all dimensions, including our Auterica.”
Such trivial things were no problem at all.
He stared at the young man in the video being interviewed, then burst into laughter when he saw the familiar armor he was wearing.
“···Ha, hahaha! This is really ridiculous.”
It was so absurd that I couldn’t help but laugh.
I thought he was at the level of the champion of Auterica, but I never thought he would actually be that person.
An otherworldly person who came to Earth?
It might be possible, since there is also the case of Hahoe mask.
To be honest, I was personally very skeptical, but I guess it’s possible since he doesn’t know all the laws of the universe.
‘But is it a coincidence that he’s from Auterica?’
No way.
No, if that were all it was, it could have been a coincidence, but when the existence of the Hahoe mask was added to it, it couldn’t be simply dismissed as such.
If coincidences are repeated many times, it is already inevitable.
And that thought was confirmed after all the reports were completed and communications were terminated, when I received information about ‘Phantom’ that Oracle had sent as reference material.
Although he was wearing a mask, he had a familiar aura, just like the white knight.
There was no need to say anything about its identity.
‘Where did it go wrong? There must be a reason why things went this wrong.’
The head of the church was still sitting in his seat, deep in thought.
Although I have been working to lead the change in the world from the beginning, I never expected that such a turning point in history would suddenly occur.
For an incident of this magnitude to occur, a number of fairly complex conditions would have to come together.
Wasn’t it the case that Oracle checked the situation of each branch regularly to prevent this kind of thing as much as possible?
“···No, there were signs. The appearance of the Hahoe mask was unusual.”
A mysterious black magician born in Korea, a blind spot in observation, who showed hostility towards them as if they were his enemies.
His appearance was the beginning of all variables.
Or maybe I really have an enemy.
That’s what he and the Buncheonhoe have been doing all this time.
‘These incidents all started in Korea.’
It may have been a mistake to plan indirect control through China and Japan to effectively respond to Korea’s uncertainty.
Even if it meant significantly delaying the plan, it should have been rooted out early on.
“Tsk, there’s nothing we can do about what’s in the past.”
Given the circumstances, it seemed likely that the Akasha System would draw its sword in order to respond more actively.
It must have been judged that suppressing him with causality alone, as it has been up until now, was not enough.
‘Then, no matter how much you block the cause in advance, the problem will eventually explode in some way.’
You could say that he was a destined adversary who was arranged to stop him.
Hahoe mask, Phantom, and Heinrich.
I don’t know if any of them are real, or if it’s all of them···.
Tsuzujeok—
As the Heavenly King stood up and took another step forward, his body was sucked into the void through a crack that appeared in the air.
The intention was to avoid causality by saving as much time on Earth as possible for the most necessary moments.
‘But I don’t intend to just take it.’
There are constant variables that arise and disrupt plans, but his job remains the same.
It continues to expand its power on Earth, broadening its influence and devouring possibilities from other dimensions to build up its divinity.
If they are the saviors the world has arranged.
He is a traitor who goes against the fate of the world.
Because they were enemies of the world.
***
What I feel right now can be expressed in just one word.
‘I’m full.’
It didn’t mean physical fullness.
Rather, I would say that it is a feeling closer to a sense of spiritual fulfillment.
That would be the case···.
『Karma held – 5,520,398』
How could you not feel good when you look back and see that your wallet, which was thin until just a little while ago, has become so full?
‘I scraped up the remaining points before the fight with the Burning Clan.’
Of course, there was no room to save points ahead of a fight with an opponent of that level.
It is only natural that he used up most of his karma to increase his chances of winning, even if it was just a little bit, and used everything he could, including strengthening his status and other skills.
‘I only left enough to be able to use 『Skill Cooldown Reset』 in 「Individual Gathering」.’
But when I looked back after everything was over, I realized that in that short period of time, I had accumulated a whopping 5 million points!
Of course, just looking at it made me feel full.
I, who was smiling so brightly, soon sat down properly and began to think carefully about how to use these abundant points.
‘Strengthening the unique skill… still not possible. After all, it was only recently that I obtained 「Individual Gathering」.’
The current Karma required to strengthen a unique skill is 2 million.
The points are sufficient, but it seemed like it would still take some time to strengthen it further here.
‘then···.’
Honestly, what I’m interested in right now is 『Dimensional Barrier Relief (6,000,000)』.
From what I experienced when I first chose the 5 million one, it could be said that this was an option that reduced the gap between each dimension.
The divine power, abyssal magic, and relaxation of restrictions on summons are only very basic effects.
‘If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to go to Ganghwan-gye.’
Of course, that was possible because various conditions were added, not just the ‘dimensional barrier relaxation’, but if that item hadn’t been there from the beginning, it wouldn’t have been possible to even start.
‘But if we strengthen it once more there…’
First of all, it is certain that restrictions on divine powers and the like will be lifted.
The process of moving to that world through memories may also become a bit easier.
But what additional effects can we expect from it?
‘Of course, I guess I’ll have to try it myself to be sure.’
Perhaps the wait won’t be that long.
Karma is growing rapidly even at this very moment, so you will be able to see it for yourself soon.
But at that time.
Suddenly, another item caught my eye.
『Random Guitar Skill Acquisition (500,000)』
Random skills that are no different from gambling.
Gulp—
My mouth started watering without me realizing it.
The two skills I’ve picked so far are “Xenoglossy” and “Sturdy”.
“Xenoglossy” was an ability that could be considered a good hit, but “Sturdy” was a bit disappointing… To be honest, it could be said that it was close to a dud.
‘So, it’s plus or minus zero.’
Yeah, it was zero.
In other words—if you look closely, you can see that the real beginning is from now on!
‘Let’s do it just one more time.’
This is really the last game.
···Shouldn’t the principal be withdrawn?
