Despite being torn apart by the Great White Shark, hundreds of people and equipment were mobilized to clear the remains of the Gray Whale.
“Hey Mr. Kim! Can’t you see everyone is working?”
Despite the foreman shouting from behind, Kim did not move an inch.
“······.”
Mr. Kim stared blankly at the remains of the gray whale. No, he wasn’t looking at the remains of the whale.
What he saw was the traces of someone left here. The one he had been searching for so desperately.
Mr. Kim muttered in a hoarse voice.
“···I found it.”
Mr. Kim was a middle-aged man with no children and who squandered most of his daily earnings on alcohol. His face was dark from long hours of manual labor, and his eyes were usually slender and open.
But at least he was someone who did his job on site.
“Hey Mr. Kim. Can’t you hear me?”
The foreman, sensing something strange, approached Kim from behind and asked.
“···I found it. I found it.”
“What are you muttering? Mr. Kim. Did you come here after drinking during the day?”
“···I found it. Finally···. Keuhihihi···!”
Mr. Kim suddenly let out a creepy laugh. The foreman couldn’t help but swear at the sound of that creepy laugh.
“What the hell. Mr. Kim! I told you not to come out if you’ve been drinking! If you get into an accident, you’re screwed!”
“Keuhihihihi!”
Mr. Kim didn’t even look back, let alone answer. He just laughed, shaking his shoulders as if he was out of breath.
“Is this a f*ck?
The rough-tempered foreman grabbed Kim by the shoulder and turned him around forcefully.
The next moment, the foreman’s expression became as frozen as ice.
Because Mr. Kim’s face was completely different from the face of the person he knew.
“Uh, uh, uh···?”
“Keuhihihi!”
His face was wrinkled as if he had aged decades overnight, and his dark skin was covered in red spots.
The nose was pointed, the eyes were slit to the side, the whites of the eyes were yellow, and a terrible stench came from the mouth.
···It was gradually changing like that.
“Keuhihihi. The child. I found the child. The child of fire···!”
dump.
The foreman fell backwards, his legs giving out. Mr. Kim walked over to him, grinning.
“Oh, don’t come….”
The foreman, whose face had turned pale, desperately stepped back. He was also a man who had been through a lot in his life. He had seen enough dead bodies and had also fought monsters.
“Don’t come!”
But this was the first time I felt this kind of fear. Just looking into his eyes made my legs tremble. I didn’t even notice the smell of urine wafting from between my wet groin.
The being before my eyes was not human.
That face rather resembles some kind of monster.
A small but cunning, weak but very tenacious monster.
“Oh, goblin···?”
Hot.
Mr. Kim, or rather the goblin, reached out and grabbed the foreman by the neck.
“Hey! What’s wrong with you two!”
“I’m so busy, why are you all fighting?”
Other workers, sensing something odd, approached the two men. They tried to separate them for a time.
however,
“Hey, Mr. Kim, what’s wrong with your face!”
“Huh!”
The other workers’ expressions were also filled with shock when they saw Mr. Kim’s face.
Hehe.
The goblin looked around at the laborers and smiled wickedly. Crackle, crackle—. Gradually, crackles began to form on his crimson face.
The goblin spoke in a hoarse, hushed voice.
“Child of Fire. I am satisfied with finding you today.”
In order to find this trace, the goblin was not even allowed to die.
Unlike his body, which was torn to pieces by the explosion, his soul was mortgaged to his master.
By order of the master, he became a ghost and wandered across the continent, even entering the dimensional rift while chasing the smallest trace.
And finally I found it.
The goblin’s two eyes were filled with an ominous glare.
“If my master knew that you were in this land, he would be happy too. Keuhehehehe!”
“This is crazy···.”
The workers surrounded the goblins with their tools. They talked among themselves with serious expressions.
“Is this person Mr. Kim?”
“Huh, are you infected with some virus?”
“Let’s report it to the police first.”
“Mr. Kim! First, let go of that hand!”
The goblin looked around at the chattering humans in confusion.
Foolish ones. Insignificant insects struggling to survive each day, unaware of the impending doom.

“The only thing left for you is a future filled with suffering. I will have mercy and take it away.”
The goblin’s mouth widened into a smile. At that moment, a red light began to leak out from his cracked skin.
“Blood, damage!”
At the sound of someone’s shout, the workers turned around and ran in all directions screaming.
But it’s already too late to avoid it.
-Pfft!
With a huge explosion, an area with a radius of several tens of meters was completely blown away. The workers caught in the explosion did not even leave behind bodies.
And in the dust cloud that rose from the explosion,
Keuhehehehehehehe!
With a wicked laugh, a mass of crimson energy rose high into the sky.
The goblin’s soul flew to the red gate that remained in the sky. It was where the gray whale appeared.
The goblin’s spirit paused in front of the gate for a moment. He turned around and howled wildly at the world.
[Child of Fire! Wait! We will come for you again!]
After a while, it disappeared beyond the gate.

“everyone!”
Lily held a chicken leg in each hand. The girl held the legs high like a signpost and shouted.
“You can only have one chicken per person! But if you eat one, you can have another!”
The warriors of the Cheonmasin Church gathered in the restaurant had only one answer.
“Jeonmyeong!”
“And again!”
Lily, who had encountered chicken for the first time in a long time, had flushed cheeks like a girl in love for the first time.
“Never steal from the person next to you!”
“Jeonmyeong!”
“Don’t just eat the chicken legs because they’re delicious! Picky eating is bad!”
“Jeonmyeong!”
“It’s so delicious, but you shouldn’t eat the bones!”
“Joe, John!”
“And you can eat the chicken radish yourself!”
“Your name···.”
Some devout followers wrote down every word the incarnation said.
Later, it was called the
“Then enjoy your meal!”
Lily allowed the believers to take communion, and the hungry warriors began to eat the unfamiliar food of Earth, one by one.
Soon, cheers erupted from all directions.
“oh my god···.”
“Is this the food of paradise…?”
“Hehe. Such a graceful flavor···.”
The warriors who had been cautiously handling the chicken soon began to eat it in a hurry. It didn’t even take 3 minutes for them to become addicted to the chicken.
The elder Poison Blood Demon, who had killed one first, jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“Hey, ma’am! Give me one more!”
“Give me some too! You’re really good at it!”
“I want the red seasoned one!”
The chefs at White House began to fry chicken diligently under the threatening gaze of the drones.
“···I expected it, but it really was a chicken party.”
Daein, who arrived at the restaurant with Baek Yeong-hee, looked around and clicked his tongue.
It was all chicken.
Fried, seasoned, soy sauce, barbecue, etc. etc.
The warriors of the Cheonmasingyo sect were gathered in the center of the restaurant, eating, and in front of them were piles of chicken bones.
“You country bumpkins from the martial arts world···.”
“Sir! Over here!”
Lily, who had spotted the man, waved from over there. In the girl’s hand was a chicken wing, half revealing its bone.
The man walked towards where Lily was.
At that moment, Baek Young-hee, who was walking next to me, took out her cell phone from her pocket and said.
“I’ll be back shortly to answer the phone. Please eat first.”
“If you come late, there won’t be anything left.”
“I’m on a diet anyway.”
Baek Young-hee left her seat for a moment. Dae-in walked over and sat down across from Lily.
“Is it delicious?”
“huh!”
Lily nodded, her fingers and lips covered in spicy chicken sauce.
“Here, I left yours too.”
“Really? What brought you here?”
Lily handed the chicken leg to the man with a very serious expression.
“It’s a special award. Because you’ve suffered in the martial arts world too.”
“You’re being a jerk.”
The man snickered and took the chicken leg and put it in his mouth.
Crispy skin and soft flesh. The meat juice flowed out as I chewed it in my mouth.
Honestly, I was a little impressed by the person.
I’ll take back what I said earlier about them being village idiots from the martial arts world.
“···It’s really delicious because it’s been a long time since I’ve had it.”
“Right? It’s delicious, right?”
Lily smiled brightly and this time she picked up a chicken wing and gave it to the man.
“Eat this too!”
“······.”
The man stared blankly at the chicken wing, then chuckled and playfully patted Lily on the head.
“You’re great, little one. Now you know how to give up your food to others.”
“I used to be good at making concessions, didn’t I?”
“And the lies keep increasing. Are you really all grown up?”
Lily pouts at the giggling adult’s teasing.
“If you don’t want to eat it, stop!”
Lily put the chicken wing she was going to give to the man into her mouth. The man looked at her with a smirk.
“Eat lots. You might have to go out again soon.”
‘When Hellgate begins…’
As the name suggests, Hellgate means a gate connected to hell.
A dimension called hell, or the Demon World.
At first, the local demons will invade Earth, and as time goes by, stronger demons will invade Earth, and later, the demon lords will invade Earth.
‘It also happens simultaneously all over the world.’
And to counter the invasion of the demon world, a multidimensional alliance is formed on Earth.
The formation of the Allied Forces was a result of everyone’s understanding.
If Earth were to be occupied, it was obvious that the Demon Realm would use Earth as a dimensional hub to attack other dimensions.
‘···The war continued for three years.’
The man had vivid memories of fighting against the invasion of the demon world.
Although most of the missions involved fighting demons, I fought desperately, risking my life, and survived.
“···I don’t want to do that again.”
“Huh? What?”
“There is something like that.”
The man put a chicken leg in his mouth and thought.
Isn’t there an easy way to deal with the disaster?
There was some spare time.
According to what I heard from Baek Young-hee, it started about a month ago…
‘That means, it’s still at the stage where only the demons are coming out.’
It takes one year for the demons to come out of the gate, and two years for the demon lords to open the gate and come out.
The gate has to be bigger to handle them.
‘If only this were what I know.’
Anyway, we can’t include all variables in the calculation.
Once you make a plan, assuming that everything will proceed according to the information you know, you will have to improvise when variables arise.
‘The Dimensional Alliance is too much for now. We can’t even form a national alliance right now.’
‘There are three remaining disasters, including Hellgate.’
‘Future information that can be used is…’
The man made plans one by one based on the memories and information in his head.
“Hmm···.”
When a method starts to come to mind little by little,
Baek Young-hee, who had left the room for a moment with her cell phone in hand, returned.
“Vice President.”
But the expression on her face as she approached the man was unusual.
“Why? What’s going on?”
“that is···.”
After a while, the man had no choice but to put the chicken leg he was holding down on the plate.
“It seems that the 7 teams that went on a mission have gone missing.”
