Episode 136 Kali -1-
A welcome sound while I was listening.
I almost burst out laughing without realizing it.
No, no, no.
You have to control your facial expressions.
‘Sad thoughts. Sad thoughts.’
If I laugh here, it’ll seem like I’ve been waiting for that to happen.
Instead of smiling, my face hardened.
“Disciple? What do you mean?”
“That’s… … .”
Carly looked at her parents, then turned her gaze to Baek So-rin and Janet.
Then he bit his lower lip and said:
“I definitely felt it this time. People need to be strong.”
“Carly. It doesn’t have to be brute force, right? Superhumans aren’t the only ones who have strength. There are plenty of other ways to become stronger.”
Although the ambassador’s wife tried to dissuade her, Carly seemed determined.
“I think it’s good to have a lot of friends. It’s also good to become an important person for the country. But if it weren’t for Sorin and Janet this time, Dad would have died. Especially Janet, who is younger than me, blocked that bad guy’s attacks several times.”
“But, Carly… … .”
“It’s not that I can’t become a diplomat. You can still become a diplomat even if you become a superhuman. My grandmother also said that I have enough qualities to become the successor of Kalaratri.”
The ambassador’s face was distorted.
“Are you saying this because you don’t know what happened to your grandmother in her later years?”
“I know. But… … .”
“I have no intention of raising you to be a superhuman. If you really want to become a superhuman, then be prepared to never see me again for the rest of your life!”
A line that comes out extremely.
That’s worth it.
Because Kali’s grandmother, the ambassador’s mother, went on an expedition to the Great Rift and died miserably.
No, it mutated and became an alien species.
If Janet’s personal quest leads to the Great Labyrinth, then Carly’s personal quest leads to the Great Rift.
The end of the personal quest is to raid Kali’s grandmother and collect the Kalaratree and relics.
“dad…….”
Carly’s face darkened with embarrassment.
I never thought the ambassador would say something so extreme.
Baek So-rin and Janet look embarrassed.
I bowed my head heavily.
“First of all, I would like to express my respect and gratitude for your dedication to humanity.”
“Huh! He is a human being who lived the way he wanted to live. He does not need any respect or gratitude.”
“But it is thanks to people like you and our senior guardians that we are still alive. As an active guardian, I would like to express my respect and gratitude.”
“Active Guardian… … Well, that’s right. Lord Mukhogeom was also a Guardian.”
The ambassador’s gaze touches my heart.
Between the two honorary knight insignia.
On the Guardians’ League badge hanging carelessly.
“I plan to explore the Great Labyrinth and go on an expedition to the Great Rift someday.”
“Huh, are you serious? Exploring the Great Labyrinth? Expeditioning the Great Rift? A person who is the silent swordsman and the next commander of the legion, and who is destined for fame and fortune?”
I guess that’s what the rumor was about.
Instead of denying it, I said it calmly.
“Because I want to become stronger. If you only stay in reality, there is a limit to how strong you can become. I know that when the Eastern Army Corps Commander was young, he also used to wander around the Great Labyrinth as if it were his own home.”
“Superhumans… … .”
“The desire for improvement is not only found in superhumans, but also in ordinary people. Isn’t that the case for you, Ambassador? If you didn’t have the desire for improvement, you wouldn’t have come this far. And it will be the same in the future.”
“hmm!”
The ambassador looks at him, wondering what he wants to say.
I said, looking at Carly who was listening.
“Your Excellency, you are mistaken about one thing.”
“Are you mistaken?”
“Isn’t it lovely, Miss Carly?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden… … .”
“And in this cruel world, it is always dangerous for beauties.”
The ambassador closed his mouth.
I understood it right away.
What am I trying to say?
“I understand that you are against Kali Yang becoming a superhuman because of your late years. But think about it carefully. Why was your mother able to survive to that age, give birth to you, and raise you so well? Wasn’t it because you were a superhuman? If you weren’t a superhuman, if you hadn’t been able to protect me during the Indo-Pakistani War, would you be here today?”
Carly looks just like her grandmother.
Although he is of Indian-Korean descent, his Indian blood is stronger.
So, later on, the Kalaratri is handed down.
The ambassador made a sound.
“That’s not wrong, but I still disagree. The superhumans I’ve seen have always sought out dangerous places to level up. I’d rather cut them off than see my daughter living that kind of life.”
“dad!”
“honey!”
“Listen carefully to what I say, Carly. You came to see the Mukho Sword Lord because you wanted to, but you can’t be as good as a superhuman. If you’d rather be a magician or an operator, I’ll support you. But you can’t be as good as a superhuman. Absolutely not!”
You’re more stubborn than I thought.

While I was thinking about how to persuade her, Baek So-rin suddenly reacted.
“Isn’t that something an incompetent father should say?”
“What did you say?”
“Right? You said you could have become a superhuman too? Why didn’t you become one? If you were a superhuman, if you had just gotten to level 5, you would have won regardless of whether the terrorists attacked or not.”
“Level 5 is not as easy as it sounds.”
“At least he didn’t die helplessly. You know that, sir. If our teacher had come a few minutes later this time, sir, he would have died. He would have left Carly alone in this world. Can you imagine what kind of life a daughter would have to live if she saw her parents die in front of her?”
Baek So-rin shoots like a machine gun.
There were tears welling up in his eyes.
With his hand, he holds Janet’s hand in a pure white grip.
Yes, that’s right.
Janet’s parents died in front of her eyes.
While trying to escape Janet, who had become a test subject.
“Sister. I’m okay.”
“I’m sorry. I just got upset for no reason… … .”
“It’s okay. It’s really okay.”
Janet, who is much younger and still much smaller in size, hugs and comforts Baek So-rin.
I took the opportunity to explain Janet’s circumstances.
“Janet was born with innate psychic powers. As a result, many wizards have been after her since she was young, and she was almost kidnapped by a magic tower and used as a test subject.”
“hmm…….”
“My parents died during that process.”
“Such a thing… … I pray that the deceased may rest in peace.”
“The reason I say this is because I heard that Miss Kali also had innate superpowers that were passed down through her bloodline.”
“California?”
Baek So-rin and Janet turned their heads.
Carly, on the other hand, opened her eyes wide.
An expression that said it was the first time he had heard it.
The ambassador coughed as if he was uncomfortable.
“I’m not sure yet.”
“Are you sure you’re not? I understand that all women in the Ambassador’s family, without exception, developed their powers at the age of 18.”
“I don’t know yet!”
“I really wonder how you plan on suppressing superpowers without awakening them as superhumans. You know, Ambassador, what kind of pain did those who didn’t awaken go through?”
“I will take care of it. It is not something for the Mukho Sword Lord to get involved in.”
“And your daughter will have to endure that pain.”
He said it with deliberate sarcasm.
The ambassador stands up with his eyes wide open.
I changed direction and attacked the ambassador’s wife instead of the ambassador.
“Madam, I know you don’t know, so I’m going to tell you something. I think it would be best for you to prepare yourself mentally in advance.”
“Look here! What are you trying to say!”
“What is it?”
“Your Majesty, the blood of the goddess Kali flows through your family. That blood awakens only in women when they turn 18. If you awaken as a superhuman and fail to control it properly, you will suffer as your head and limbs are split open. Many of them died because they could not endure the pain of their brains being split open.”
Kali is a goddess with eleven heads and ten limbs.
Women who receive blood also experience the same situation.
The martial art that was created to alleviate this is Kalaratri.
If you don’t learn Kalaratri, you will either die, turn into a monster, or, if you’re lucky, be hospitalized for the rest of your life.
The ambassador’s wife’s mouth opened.
“Oh my god, that’s… … more serious than a fever! Honey, really? Speak up!”
“There is a way. You know my friend, Dr. Palash? Dr. Palash has found a way to effectively suppress the blood of the gods. He will be administering it to Kali soon. Then, she can live a normal life without having to become a superhuman. She won’t have to go to dangerous places like the Great Labyrinth or the Great Rift.”
Oh really?
I guess it had some effect.
In the game, we see that Carly is still alive and well for several years.
But that’s it.
Now that I see it, I get it.
That method wasn’t perfect.
There’s no way a human being this stubborn would allow Kali to awaken as a superhuman in the game.
In the end, because it failed, it must have been in line with Kali’s own determination to fully support her awakening as a superhuman.
I gave a short laugh.
“Of course it must have been a clinically tested method, right?”
“That’s… … .”
“Suppressing the blood of a god with human technology… … Well, that’s true. After killing and imprisoning the gods in the war of annihilation, how could it be difficult to suppress the blood? It’s not a 100-year-old technology, nor a 10-year-old technology. It seems like a completely new technology. Well, try your best.”
I did my best, with all my heart.
Rotten.
“Oh, really.”
The ambassador looked quite offended.
He shouted, looking at the ambassador’s wife who was still sitting.
“What are you doing? There’s no need to listen any longer! Get up! You have to go home.”
“You go home.”
“what?”
“And if you say one more word about etiquette or anything, I’ll divorce you.”
“What? What did you just say?”
The ambassador’s wife doesn’t even see the ambassador anymore.
She strokes Carly’s face a few times and then looks at me with longing eyes.
“Kali’s daughter… … I’ve heard of it. Every time we went to the Shiva temple, the priests were strangely polite to my daughter, and that was why. Every priest asked when Kali would start her superhuman education… … .”
“Because he inherited the blood of a god. He must have been half respectful and half worried. If he was a priest of the Shiva sect, he couldn’t have not known.”
“Haa, this guy never told me that until now… How could this be?”
The ambassador’s wife glares at the ambassador.
Eyes as sharp as those of a high-level superhuman, or like those of a tiger.
The ambassador, who was standing there with such arrogance, flinched.
“If I learn from you, will my child be strong enough to not be swayed by Kali’s blood?”
“Honey! I told you not to! If you get the procedure done by Dr. Palish… … .”
“You stay still!”
A roaring scream.
The ambassador flinched and then tried to explain away the matter.
It seems that only his wife, who has become sincere, is scary.
I nodded my head slowly as I read the lines.
“It is possible. Miss Kali has received the blood of the Goddess. It is a curse when you don’t know anything, but it is a blessing when you know and learn properly. I predict that you will reach level 5 within a year.”
“Level 5 in a year? Haha, even though I don’t know much about the world, I know that a level 5 superhuman is amazing. I heard that it took my mother-in-law quite a while to reach level 5.”
“Everyone has different talents. You’ll know when you see.”
“Didn’t you have to receive magical treatment as soon as you were born, take elixirs like you were eating rice from a young age, and receive guidance from a master to become a level 5?”
“Not all of them are like that.”
I tapped Baek So-rin on the shoulder.
“My disciple, Sorin, has not even been a superhuman for 6 months. But he is already at level 4 and is on the verge of reaching level 5. In my opinion, Kali possesses similar talent.”
“that…….”
“If you had received superhuman training since you were young, you would have already reached level 5. It’s not too late. It would be better to start sooner rather than later.”
Now that I think about it, I’m talking as if it’s a given that I’ll become Kali’s teacher.
I fixed my gaze on Carly.
Carly looked at me with bloodshot eyes.
“You want to be my disciple?”
“yes!”
Carly nodded without hesitation.
“I didn’t know I had a relationship with the Goddess Kali. But regardless, I want to become a superhuman! I heard from Sorin and Janet. They said that even though it’s hard, they teach you well… … I also want to learn from the Mukho Sword Master and become strong quickly!”
“Carly. No matter what, I’m not a superhuman… … .”
“Hey!”
A loud roar.
The one who catches the ambassador is the ambassador’s wife.
Once again, the stinging ambassador looked away and made a fuss while looking at the distant mountains.
After all, targeting the ambassador’s wife was the right answer.
“Good. I can learn a lot from someone as talented as Kali. A descendant of God… … Kali. Welcome to my disciple. I will teach you a bit harshly in the future, but please do your best.”
“Wow! Really? You accept? I’ll call you teacher from now on!”
“Do that.”
“yes!”
“That went well!”
“My wish came true!”
Carly burst out laughing, and Baek So-rin and Janet also jumped up and down, saying that it was great.
Judging from the way they speak, it seems like they have been in communication since the time of the Shinmyeoje.
It’s a good thing you put all three together.
The ambassador’s wife also smiled, but there was only one person who did not smile.
“Huh, really… … .”
A very distorted face.
I licked my lips as I looked at Carly, but in the end I couldn’t open my mouth.
Because the ambassador’s wife was glaring at him with wide eyes.
It’s not that I don’t understand.
The ambassador’s mother’s mutated appearance, which the ambassador had also confirmed, was that horrifying.
Enough to become a trauma.
But it’s not the behavior of a mature human being either.
It’s something that will be resolved later anyway.
You will be estranged from Kali for a while, but this can be resolved by bringing the relics of the Ambassador’s mother from the Great Rift.
To do that, we need to make Kali a superhuman quickly.
“Let’s get started.”
“Huh? What?”
“What? It’s the first class.”
“Already?”
“Did you hear from Sorin and Janet? I’m Spartan.”
Welcome to hell.
