383. Master of strategy (4)
Deja vu.
Or should I say déjà vu? At this moment, I was experiencing a phenomenon that everyone has experienced at least once.
As I looked at Michael in front of me, I felt like I had experienced something like this before.
‘… … ‘That’s fun.’
no.
In fact, it would be like that.
I don’t know why, but I’m the type of person who gets easily caught up in trouble.
Hasn’t it been like this almost every time you’ve come to Earth or faced challengers from Earth?
‘… … ‘I never thought there would still be people who think so lightly about this.’
At this point, I wonder if I have been cursed by the divinity of some godhead… … .
“… … .”
There was no time to think deeply about it.
“… … Ha ha ha ha ha. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. I think I just misheard. Is that correct?”
It’s no different… … .
Could it be that they couldn’t understand what was being said at all?
Michael’s face suddenly turned cold.
I responded lightly, still with a smile on my face.
“no. You must have heard correctly. “I was just purely wondering if you wanted to die for me.”
“… … .”
In an instant, there was a heavy silence in the hall.
It was as if he had made a statement that could not have been made in the conference room.
And it was the same for many of the challengers who had been angry with Michael so far.
Well, some of the challengers who knew about me seemed like they would do that soon, but challengers who didn’t know this, like Michael, didn’t.
“her… … . Well, you’re joking too much. “Why would you say something like that when we are challengers from the same Earth?”
“Yeah, that’s right. “I understand that the challenger, Han Sung-yoon, is ranked No. 1 in the world, so I think he needs to save face accordingly.”
“what the… … . This is ridiculous. What, you’re not even a child and you’re fighting like that? They said they weren’t really going to fight with each other anyway. “Just kidding.”
It was worth it.
Still, those who stay on Earth for a long time and act with common sense will think this is an over-the-top joke.
Either that, or something like suppressing the momentum without any return.
But when I heard those words, I spoke as if I was dumbfounded, with a deeper smile on my face.
“You’re kidding… … .”
and.
“No way.”
Next moment.
“This can’t be a joke, right?”
In response, I drew out some of the magical energy within my body and made it possible for others to feel it.
Deddude-!
In the blink of an eye, the conference room was filled with the magical power of the body.
To make it easier to understand the level of status this person has, I even showed some of the status of divinity.
The magical energy that had been dormant within the body overflowed, causing shallow vibrations throughout the conference room.
Only then did the expressions on the faces of those who heard what I said and sarcastically say it was an excessive joke or a childish overpowering change.
“What the heck… … .”
“Wow, how on earth can a human have this much magical power…? … ?”
“What… … ! Wow, what is the magic power level that makes it like this monster… … !!”
Even though we were only able to feel a small part of this magic, there were some pretty interesting reactions.
“… … .”
It was no different for Michael.
Michael’s face suddenly hardened.
And in response, I dispersed the magical power within my body even more and put pressure on the conference room, and then continued.
“I don’t know why you had to use your skills to persuade me.”
“that… … .”
“Not only that, I’m also not really interested in what kind of person you are. “I don’t even want to know why he’s the leader here.”
“… … .”
and.
“Still, it would be good to keep this one thing in mind.”
“… … .”
At that moment, my eyes flashed like those of a predator and I spoke in a whisper.
“If you try to trick me like that one more time, I’ll think you really want to die.”
Just like that, I looked at Michael’s pale face and continued talking as if it was nothing.
“If you keep that one thing in mind, I won’t do anything to harm you.”
“… … “I will, I will do that”
“You don’t even need to answer.”
“… … .”
I looked into Michael’s eyes and smiled softly.
“Anyway, no matter what you say, if you go against what I said, I will kill you.”
… … However, this time there was no answer.

“The achievement ‘Master of Intimidation’ has been achieved.”
“All abilities increase by 1.”
“… … .”
I frowned as I looked at the message that appeared in front of me.
‘A master of intimidation.’
It’s just that I seemed to want a fight over there, so I just summarized it.
But to say that this person is a master of intimidation… … .
Somehow, even though I received the achievement reward, a feeling of injustice remained.
But that is only for a moment.
‘Is this another conspiracy?’
By now, I was used to it.
In fact, the TOP system was slandering me over nothing.
I shook my head as if I was tired of this and sat down in one of the seats in the conference room.
“… … .”
However, just for a moment.
Suddenly, I noticed that all eyes in the conference room were focused on this direction.
I think Michael may have unintentionally attracted attention in the process of resolving a conflict with a challenger… … .
The guess seemed to be correct.
“The special power ‘Whisper of Blue Flame’ sends a whisper to challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
-… … I thought it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but this time you’re having a big accident again.
Suddenly, I turned my head to the sound of a laughing voice ringing in my ears.
-So I don’t have a sense of security.
It’s no different… … .
“… … .”
Before I knew it, Catherine Bennett, who was in the conference room, was speaking to me with a bright smile.
‘ah.’
Only then did I notice that the way people were looking in the conference room was not that bad.
‘Somehow, the looks in this direction didn’t seem all that bad… … .’
Excluding a small number of people, most of them seemed to like what I did, even if it was a bit extreme.
‘Have you unintentionally gained the favor of other challengers?’
It was worth it.
Perhaps what Michael was saying, pretending to represent about 30 challengers, was an opinion to use relatively weak challengers for information gathering… … .
Considering that, most of the challengers had no choice but to express favor towards this side.
In fact, from an outside perspective, I ignored Michael’s words as soon as I entered the conference room, creating a pretty cool situation.
‘Actually, if it weren’t for the fact that they used their skills and threatened me, I wouldn’t have planned to do this.’
But regardless of that, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
‘It wasn’t something I specifically intended, but… … .’
However, just for a moment.
‘Still, if you think about it, it’s a pretty good result.’
Then, surprisingly, I realized that I could take advantage of this situation.
“Now that I think about it, you said that challengers from Earth were sent to a place in the center of the dark world.”
When it came to assassinating the Dark Emperor, didn’t they want to carry out an elite (?) quick assassination?
“Foolishly.”
Then this was an opportunity.
“There is no need to use challengers from Earth for something so inefficient.”
as soon as… … .
“Get them out now.”
Now is your chance to clear the dimension cradle <Dark World [E-01]> without wasting time.
“What is that… … .”
Of course, there is no opposition at all.
Before I knew it, Michael, who was sitting at the head of the conference room, began to frown and growl.
It was as if he had a mission to fulfill, regardless of being scared when he saw this.
In reality, there was no particular difference.
“gibberish! We must find out information that will help us assassinate the Dark Emperor, even if it means consuming some of the challengers from Earth! That is the best thing we can do to save the Earth… … .”
Perhaps that challenger named Michael thinks that the fate of the Earth is being carried by all challengers here… … .
“I won’t repeat the same thing again.”
Isn’t that any of my business?
“I take full responsibility.”
In response, I just calmly spoke to Michael as if it was my final persuasion.
“Take it out.”
and.
“Right Now.”
The moment Michael’s face distorted, his eyes looked this way.
“… … under! Responsibility? Who can be held responsible for this situation?”
Somehow, something like a burning desire was wriggling in his eyes.
“This is a competition between dimensions, with each world at stake.”
Michael let out a voice filled with resentment.
“The fate of the Earth is at stake.”
“I know.”
“Do you think you can take that responsibility?”
“yes.”
But I answered without hesitation.
“I think we can take responsibility for more than that.”
“… … .”
It was natural.
This side had already reached the level of ancient deities and was already protecting the Earth by surrounding it with divinity.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that I have been in charge of the fate of the Earth since long ago.
“therefore… … .”
If so, wouldn’t the answer be fixed?
“Please do as I tell you.”
and.
“… … under. I hope you can take responsibility for that. “I don’t think you can do that, though.”
After saying those words, Michael frowned and gave an order to someone who appeared to be his subordinate.
“… … Daniel. Bring back all the challengers who were sent on an expedition outside. “Within 10 minutes.”
A man named Daniel, who was sitting in one of the conference rooms, nodded, got up from his seat and went outside.
“… … Now, let’s listen. Seongyoon Han. How can you be held responsible for the assassination of this Dark Emperor? “Come on.”
After hearing that, I nodded and answered.
“I will personally come forward and assassinate the Dark Emperor immediately.”
However, as if they did not like the answer, the attitude of some of the challengers, including Michael, became crooked.
“… … Did you know that even the Japanese assassin Sachio Michimoto failed to assassinate the Dark Emperor? “What kind of confidence do you have to say something like that?”
But I spoke without even listening to Michael, as if there was no need to hear anything more.
“Once you see it, you’ll know.”
“What… … .”
“Why did you say I could assassinate the Dark Emperor?”
“… … .”
At this point, the other challengers sitting in the conference room also looked at us in bewilderment.
Those who knew me, like Catherine Bennett or Sachio Michimoto, looked at me with skepticism, but other challengers did not.
Should I just say that I was just keeping my mouth shut due to the overwhelming amount of magical power I displayed as soon as I entered the conference room?
There seemed to be no indication that this side would succeed in assassinating the Dark Emperor.
“… … .”
Time passed like that.
Soon after, the man called Daniel returned to the conference room.
As Michael received a report from Daniel, he nodded and spoke to him.
“It is said that all challengers from Earth have been recovered from the Imperial Capital, located in the center of the Dark World. Let’s take a look.”
Michael continued speaking in an extremely cold voice.
“How can you solve this situation where the fate of the Earth is at stake?”
Only then did I see Michael’s distrustful look in his eyes and reply with a chuckle.
“All right.”
It’s no different.
“If you are curious about how I will assassinate the Dark Emperor, you can follow me.”
this is… … .
“The god of transcendence and death smiles as he looks at the challengers from Earth.”
[That way, you will understand why I said I could take responsibility for all of this. ]
It was an assassination technique that only I, an ancient god, could use.
