Pick Me Up! Chapter 237

#237

237. After the ending (8)

On the way back to Taoni, I transferred to an airship sent by Yurnet.

Isel’s log manipulation is over. Amkena will only know that I have returned to Taoni intact. Even so, he couldn’t cheat for long, so he had to finish his business as quickly as possible.

I headed to Brunhild 01, which was waiting in the nearby sector. Brunhild 01 was also the flagship of the current Niflheim Fleet. She was able to fully replace the role of the simple command room.

“I can’t believe I’ll really win…”

Yurnet brought the steaming hot tea to her lips.

slurp.

“He’s a great man. You can compare him to the Master. Of course, he’ll have the upper hand… but he’ll be the Master.”

Yurnet looked at me and smiled.

Afterwards Yurnet’s lieutenant, Nisled, placed a teacup on the table.

I smiled bitterly and drank the green tea.

In front of my eyes, the reporter news of the Pick Me Up community site comes to mind.

It was news that the subjugation team, including a large number of rankers, had been defeated in the surprise raid event.

The comment section was dotted with criticism of Moebius and abusive language towards the rankers who were controlling and violent.

Even so, the subjugation force had a good chance of winning.

No matter how strong El Cid is at the top of the rankings, he cannot easily score a victory against hundreds of rankers. It was the same for martial arts, Niflheim, and any other ranker.

But they self-destructed.

in front of tens of thousands of viewers.

In the middle of a raid, a fight broke out over who should eat the Book of Reversal.

It started with the Liberty Guild’s liveout and a solo PVP user, Ttukbaegi Smash.

The rankers who were trying to stop them also fell for the provocation, saying, “You came to eat the book of Yeokcheon anyway,” and a civil war began.

If Mobius had notified the compensation in advance, such disorganized results would not have come out. I must have come to an agreement somehow.

The problem was that Moebius suddenly cast the Book of Reverse Heaven during the raid.

Rankers didn’t have time to discuss distribution issues. El Cid did not miss that opportunity.

‘There is no bond.’

Although they were lumped together as a punitive force, they were not a single force.

They were just hyenas who each only wanted their own gain. Therefore, the raid ended up being a melee with allies and enemies, not hundreds vs. one.

The death protection system here is a bonus.

There is a resurrection penalty, but since it can be revived, they must have been more light-hearted and challenged the Master next to them.

In fact, this wasn’t the first time this happened during a World Raid.

At that time, I used to hold the center point. If the guy who muddying the water comes out, go ahead and catch him. This raid was a reward for a reward, so even if I did, the result wouldn’t have changed.

‘Operation is such a mess.’

If I had been a little smarter, I could have easily subdued El Cid.

Perhaps Mobius tried not to give the Book of Reversal at first, but since the subjugation party started to be pushed back, they seemed to be hastily bet on a reward.

As a result, no one in the subjugation party obtained the Book of Reverse Heaven.

They were scattered leaving behind a large number of victims and remnants of each other.

Thus, this event became the first failure of the World Raid.

‘Good timing.’

It seemed reckless, but looking back, it was the perfect timing for the charge.

At that time, the rankers must have been having a meeting about what to do with the Book of Reverse Heaven in an invisible place. Before the outcome of the meeting came out, before they could come to an agreement, El Cid charged into the rankers’ troops with his forces.

The tactic that seemed like a suicide charge,

It was a choice that decided win or lose.

‘Even so.’

No matter how strong he is,

Even if you have reached a level that transcends the level of a simple hero or monster, even if you have the ability of a god to freely take out and use the hero you ate… … .

Even if you find a way to victory in a situation where defeat is certain with an overwhelming power difference.

“…”

I looked ahead

A hologram window appeared on the control panel.

The red arrow pointing at him was approaching Niflheim in a straight line.

“Are you going to stay strong?”

I spoke.

“What are our odds?”

“If the fleet is present, 100%.”

Yurnet answered without hesitation.

“What if I don’t send the fleet?”

“I think it will be 100%.”

“What if I send only one party?”

“It is 100%.”

“I guess so.”

I finished drinking green tea.

El Cid’s improvisation was admirable.

In an instant, he found the best tactic and made the best choice he could.

but… … .

The punitive force, which was in the middle of a civil war, changed its mind when things went badly.

He realized that he would not be able to eat or die at this rate. In the latter half of the raid, the siege warfare composition eventually came out.

El Cid withstood the offensive.

Even holding out was not enough, so he counterattacked.

only one.

A single hero overcame hundreds of rankers, or thousands or tens of thousands of heroes.

“Did you say the bowl was broken?”

“yes.”

Yurnet lowered her eyes.

“The power he wielded in battle was more than enough to create a new account. However, overusing interference power seems to have permanently damaged his abilities.”

Summons a thousand elite heroes and revives them when they die.

It is said that the process was repeated countless times. In addition, it is said that master class assassins have attacked countless times. I must have used my strength without rest.

‘The bowl was broken.’

According to Yurnet’s report, he even vomited blood in the latter half of the battle.

It is said that most of the army of conquest was lost, and Reltea and Kirzak, who were called the three heroes along with Raskanda, were also killed in repeated attacks. El Cid never brought the dead back to life.

“Are you still coming to Niflheim?”

“It seems to me that you want to kill me.”

Yurnet muttered.

That’s right.

It looks that way to my eyes too.

‘It has lost its ability to synthesize, a characteristic of seven stars.’

It’s a guess, but it’s almost certain.

If I had the synthesis ability, I would have gone to other rankers instead of me to supplement my strength.

Even if Niflheim is defeated, interference cannot be obtained.

Are you still coming here?

“This is just my hypothesis.”

Yurnet cleared her throat.

“He probably wouldn’t have lasted long had it not been for this battle. He had a world, but he couldn’t handle its size with his sober mind.”

I nodded.

One of the other characteristics of 7 stars is that their synthesis efficiency is extremely high.

I too share similar traits. The effect of eating Shay is still there.

‘Did you say that if synthesis is abused, the egos can be mixed?’

It was the warning Lydigion had given me.

The synthesis efficiency of 7 stars is high, but it is like overwriting the body with the data of the sacrificial lamb. In other words, the information of several people can be mixed and become a jumbled mess.

El Cid did that in units of thousands.

It wasn’t strange even if he was crazy right away.

A terrifying penalty was sleeping behind the summoning technique, which seemed to be an ability close to God.

“It looks like he will reach the contact point by this evening at the latest.”

The point of contact was the front yard of Niflheim and the sector where Brunhild 01 was stationed.

The original plan when the raid didn’t happen was to fight El Cid here with all my might.

I was going to engage in an all-out war with him using the entire fleet stationed in Niflheim and the top 100 combat heroes, including the 1st party.

“…”

To the left of the table lies a document with a golden seal.

Five chapters in all. It was an order to call the personnel of the 1st party scattered in different areas. Among them, Siris’s are also mixed. It is said that it is not in the waiting room, but in this battle where the fate of Niflheim depended, I had to call it.

‘Although it has become a thing of the past.’

I sighed.

won’t be needed anymore I packed up the papers and shoved them under the table.

What’s coming here isn’t El Cid, the No. 1 and strongest 7-star hero, it’s just the remnants of that fellow.

“Master, if you give me an order, we can deal with him before he arrives here.”

“Are you going to send an assassin?”

“That’s how it should be. By any chance, you don’t know what will happen if El Cid approaches the Master.”

“Leave it alone. Do I look like such a coward? Even if I’m weak, I don’t know what’s going on. If I send it in pieces and die, we’ll have to lose money.”

I smiled and put the teacup down.

“If he wants to come all the way, wait and catch him.”

“As commanded.”

Yurnet bowed her head.

I have nothing to do now.

Except for waiting for the guy to come.

“Oh, before that.”

Before leaving the command room, I looked around Yurnet.

Yurnet tilted her head and looked at me.

“There must be a hyena stuck behind him. Send the 3rd Fleet to deal with it. Will it be okay?”

“I’ll do that as well.”

Yurnet smiled and bowed her head again.

The 3rd Fleet is a special warfare unit that Nihaku belongs to.

The numbers are made up of at least a reliable elite. Even after the event is over, he will clean up the bugs trying to stab El Cid in the back.

‘It’s a warning to me.’

I remembered Tell’s laughter.

I thought I could let it go now, but I can’t help being angry.

Thinking that the clash between me and El Cid was according to that guy’s intentions, I could wake up even in my sleep.

‘I can even step on the number 1 ranking, so I’m telling you not to mess around?’

He deliberately allowed me to listen to his conversation with El Cid.

Maybe his purpose was with me.

some kind of show off.

I can do something like this

If you don’t want to be like No. 1, crawl on your own.

“…”

bang!

I kicked the hallway wall.

[Awaaaaa! What’s wrong, Loki! Is it because my coffee doesn’t taste good?]

Isel, who was carrying the coffee pot from behind, was startled.

Well, the intern look suits me well now.

[do not be angry! I’ll make the coffee taste better, so please don’t fire me!]

“What about dismissal? Your coffee is always good. Your photocopying and faxing are perfect.”

[Then why are you doing this? Is that mist witch telling me to work again?]

‘… … You must be suffering a lot from Yurnet.’

I even moved on.

Several months have passed since Siris and her ex, Issel, left the waiting room.

It’s time for this guy to step up.

When this is over, I’ll have to hint to Yurnet.

and that evening.

“The preparations are perfect. Even if El Cid temporarily regains power, he will not be able to lay a finger on Master’s body.”

On the deck of Brunhild 01.

I was watching the sky with Yurnet.

The vast sky is dyed with twilight.

A small dot was approaching this place from the other side of the sky.

His airship was shabby to the point of being close to a ferry.

Without even going to the cannon, a single ballista shot would shatter it.

[Danger!]

[The Conqueror of Destiny]

[Raskanda El Cid Lv.99]

There was a guy on top of it.

Having lost all of the level and mighty army that had exceeded 600 units.

With blood single.
