Episode 518 Final Battle (1)
God of black wings.
After subduing the Apostle Goddess who serves the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness, I frowned and continued to think.
a moment ago. As soon as the black-winged god appeared, he trembled and tried to run away. Because I saw something more annoying than I thought.
‘… … also. The god of despair, fall, and madness. There’s no way that eerie ancient deity would be satisfied with the usual hit-and-run.’
Divine Realm.
The black-winged god was astonished to see the power this side possessed, and the power he used to escape seemed close to the power of the sacred realm.
Well, at least they succeeded in subduing the Holy Realm before it even opened, so it didn’t seem like it would be a big problem… … .
The flaw was that, unlike the general sacred realm, the subject was not placed on oneself.
‘… … This guy used the divinity of another person as the base of his divinity, not his divinity. If you think about that fact deeply, it’s not something to be taken lightly.’
It’s not even just that.
Isn’t the sacred realm the power to form one’s home ground through the separation of space or the domination of space?
In that case, the sacred realm that the Black Wing God was trying to create was a type that was far from creating a home ground through separation or control of space.
‘The sacred realm of this guy that I saw earlier was not only of substandard technical perfection, but also gave off an atmosphere like a puzzle piece.’
When I guessed why the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness created the Apostle Godhead, I couldn’t help but feel even more heterogeneous.
Hit and run. If you were trying to create a clue to invade the Earth in the end, the special nature of the sacred realm is not something to be taken lightly.
This is because the sacred realm that the Black Wing God wanted to create is linked like a puzzle piece.
Then the final goal is also obvious.
‘The act of creating the sacred realm as someone else’s concept of divinity rather than one’s own, and increasing its usability by intentionally splitting the sacred realm incompletely. ‘It’s obvious.’
It’s no different… … .
‘The intention is to forcibly create a gap through which the sacred realm can be pushed out or, conversely, swallowed up to invade the Earth.’
It was simple.
The god of despair, fall, and madness. That unpleasant ancient deity was ultimately trying to replace my sacred realm spread out on Earth with its own sacred realm.
therefore. It was clear that the eerie ancient deity was planning to invade the fortified Earth and start a final war to kill me.
“… … .”
In response, I narrowed my eyes, looked up at the sky, and spoke in a low whisper.
“That’s fun.”
Eat.
“It’s okay to be nervous.”
The god of despair, fall, and madness.
“Don’t be in a hurry. Even if you don’t urge me like that, I will kill you myself. “Just wait.”
Just as that unpleasant ancient god wants a final battle to kill me, I also feel the same way.
“The god of transcendence and death gives a twisted laugh as he senses that the final war will soon break out.”
[ … … soon. We will meet again in the not too distant future. Even if they don’t want it. ]
Ironically.
***
Some time has passed.
Perhaps the god of despair, fall, and madness had decided that there was no other solution yet, and the unpleasant gaze quickly disappeared.
and. At the same time, the life reactions of the apostles and gods who were going on a rampage all over the world and committing indiscriminate acts of destruction disappeared all at once.
‘I guess so.’
It was natural.
Even if the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness has a tendency to prioritize emotions over reason, it does not mean that his judgment is paralyzed.
I think he probably realized that if he allowed the apostles and gods from all over the world to go berserk any more than this, they would be killed by me within a few minutes, so he ordered them to flee… … .
‘Well, it’s just a waste of time. ‘Pest extermination is possible if you take the time.’
Does not matter.
It is meaningless to predict the odds of victory when dealing with such enemies, and discussing success or failure is equally meaningless.
At best, it was only a matter of time before the evil apostles of the ancient godhead were killed.
“… … .”
Is that why?
‘It’s more difficult to deal with a disaster situation that has been going on for several days rather than what happens next.’
Rather, it was more difficult to deal with the aftermath of the disaster that occurred when apostles and gods ran away from all over the world.
Well, thanks to this return to Earth, the apostles and gods who were running rampant all over the world in real time had to disappear… … .
It seemed like there wasn’t even a moment to breathe.
“… … .”
The United States and China are also suffering significant damage, and Japan is also experiencing great confusion, although it is not comparable to Korea.
also. In addition, countries such as the UK, France, and even Italy and Germany also lost a lot due to disasters.
Damage situations such as a large number of deaths, collapse of the capital, paralysis of the administrative system, and loss of major infrastructure were only default values.
Tragedy calls for tragedy, and despair calls for despair. Additional damage is occurring in succession due to the aftermath of the disaster.
Like dominoes.
‘Is it fortunate among misfortunes that the apostles and gods all over the Earth fled all at once and prevented the situation from worsening?’
Perhaps, if the return to Earth from the Tower of Trials had been slightly delayed, the severity of the situation could have grown to a level where the destruction of the world had to be discussed.
Hold-.
At the same time, I realized that there was no point in thinking about it anymore, so I placed my hand on my forehead and asked a question.
“It’s been a while since I returned from the Tower of Trials, so let me ask you some basic questions first.”
Should I call it a blessing among misfortunes?
There are people from all over the world who saw with their own eyes the tragedy that occurred when the apostles ran rampant and took action to prevent it.
Seunghoon Kim. And Oh Chun-seok. Both of them looked at me with pale complexions, as if they had not yet fully recovered from the fatigue they suffered from the battle with the Apostle Godhead.
“What happened to the Korean government? Considering the seriousness of the situation, I think martial law would have been declared long ago. “Where is the Armed Forces?”

“… … .”
silence.
Neither of them opened their mouths and seemed to be wondering what to answer.
Kim Seung-hoon closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth, but Oh Chun-seok revealed negative emotions such as anger, hatred, and guilt.
However, the silence lasted only for a moment, and Kim Seung-hoon lowered his head while Oh Chun-seok opened his mouth to give an answer.
“… … flaw. Seongyoon, this may not be surprising. The Blue House has collapsed. “The current president has already died a long time ago.”
Oh Chun-seok continued speaking with a pale expression.
“Prime Minister. Minister of Strategy and Finance. Both were confirmed dead. All acting presidents below him were assassinated. The National Assembly building also collapsed. “With the declaration of martial law, the Korean government came to an end.”
“… … .”
He gritted his teeth and muttered in a hateful tone.
“You son of a bitch… … . He probably planned from the beginning to overthrow the country. “It all happened in an instant.”
It wasn’t wrong.
Wasn’t it clear from the beginning that the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness had intended to plunge the entire planet into chaos when he made a challenger from Earth his apostle?
Perhaps the most efficient way, in the opinion of that evil ancient god, would be to destroy all nations on Earth.
‘Of course it was planned.’
When this person nodded his head in agreement, Oh Chun-seok also continued the story.
“army? Of course, it moved. But, you know what? … … Mr. Seongyun, the military power of our armed forces is not that strong. “It’s even more so when you’re up against a hunter or a challenger.”
“Are you annihilated?”
“no. Not even annihilation. I guess half of them are deserters? Even among soldiers, there are people who are challengers. “We bought dimension shifting items at the Tower of Trials and ran away with our families and relatives.”
“… … .”
It was beyond my imagination.
‘That’s shit.’
In response, I clicked my tongue and asked a question.
“… … As far as I know, private military companies have also been hired to replace the military power of the national army. By any chance, did they run away too?”
“flaw. Oh, no need to explain. That’s correct. The Korean mercenary guild, the Mercenary King, was the first to escape. I thought he couldn’t run away because he was a hunter, right? “It was a mistake.”
“… … .”
“shit. I guess I bought a permanent dimension shift item from the challenger without anyone knowing. He ran away to another dimension. Holding all the items. After that, I think you’ll know.”
“hot.”
Laughing comes out automatically.
‘Really?’
For some reason, I was wondering why Korea suffered so much damage compared to other countries, but everything seems to have gone wrong from the initial response stage.
‘What.’
It was absurd.
Because the bond is so weak.
I laughed when I heard that more than half of the ROK military had deserters and that even private military companies hired by the government had run away.
‘I’m going to be amazed.’
Isn’t it a sight to behold?
“Why didn’t you contact me?”
“no. It’s not that I haven’t contacted you. I couldn’t do it. “I don’t know how that bastard did it, but it became impossible to send a message to Seongyoon.”
“?”
“that… … . Challengers who knew Seongyoon tried to contact him by any means necessary. “They say it failed.”
“… … .”
Moreover, it appears that the God of despair, fall, and madness had prepared for any unexpected variables and had made it so that no one could contact them.
‘It’s annoying.’
In response, I roughly brushed my hair and tried to suppress my irritation, and then Seunghoon Kim spoke with a tired look on his face.
“… … In the end, nothing could be protected. The number of people who have left is immeasurable. “Everyone who stayed on this land and tried to protect it died except us.”
He muttered hollowly, feeling helpless and frustrated.
“As a hunter. And as a challenger. “Everyone wanted to become a beneficiary and gain wealth and fame, but when it came time to identify the victims, no one responded to their responsibility and duty.”
“… … .”
Seunghoon Kim lowered his head and continued speaking bitterly.
“The operation to recapture Seoul failed… … . This guy and I were paying the price for that failure. We tried to slow the spread of damage to other areas outside of Gyeonggi-do. “By risking his life.”
However, that too for a moment.
“… … However, the story is different now. Because you are back. “Han Seong-yoon.”
He slowly raised his head again and gave off a cool look in his eyes.
“Although there are more dead than living in this land, there will be no survivors. Unlike me, who is incompetent, you can save them… … .”
“ah. I have already left that to my colleagues. “Don’t worry, all survivors will be rescued within a few hours.”
“… … “Colleagues?”
“Well, there is something like that.”
If I were to talk about the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman, the story would be longer, so it was necessary to omit the details.
‘In that case, it would be better to talk about something else.’
I made him understand that I didn’t have to worry much about rescuing the survivors and asked him one last question.
“… … “More than that, Catherine Bennett is American, so of course she is out of the question, but Lee Ha-yeon is Korean, so why isn’t she here?”
I was curious as to why Lee Ha-yeon was not seen in the midst of the operation to recapture Seoul.
If only I couldn’t contact you because I was in the Tower of Trials, I would have just passed on… … .
Earlier, after trying to understand what was happening around the world, I found out one thing.
The fact that Catherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon are together and that they are in the United States, not Korea.
“Please explain.”
“… … .”
Seunghoon Kim rested his chin as if thinking for a moment and then gave an answer.
“hmm. If nothing else happens, I think I should be at the International Hunter Association by now. I said I was going before the operation to recapture Seoul… … .”
“It’s a request for support.”
“okay. Because there were restrictions on spatial movement and long-distance communication throughout the Korean Peninsula, someone had to go directly to another country. “I just decided that she was the right person for her.”
“… … .”
Restrictions on spatial movement and long-distance communication?
‘Was there such a thing? I don’t think so… … .’
The puzzlement lasted only for a moment.
‘… … no. I guess it was there. ‘Until now.’
There was a trace.
It seems that the restrictions naturally disappeared when the Black Winged God became incapacitated, unable to live or die… … .
Although it may have felt like a minor issue to them, it seemed to be a problem that made space movement or long-distance communication impossible.
‘Then, is it because the International Hunter Association convened an emergency meeting that Catherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon are together?’
Is that why?
“That’s not bad.”
As a result, I was able to come up with a good idea with a slight smile on my face.
Perhaps because it was an issue that required discussion about the survival of humanity, all kinds of people would have flocked to the International Hunter Association.
and. There will inevitably be strong people who went there on behalf of the ruler of a country. If so, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity?
In any case, in order to summon the ancient gods of the pantheon, including the gods of despair, fall, and madness, to fight on Earth, it is necessary to evacuate humanity to another dimension.
“Then, let’s go to the International Hunter Association.”
in other words.
“I hope that the God of Transcendence and Death may be able to complete preparations for the final battle all at once.”
[ … … If you’re lucky, you may be able to handle and resolve the situation faster than you think. ]
From now on, it was time for persuasion and negotiation to prepare the stage for the final battle.
