Chapter 80: Mad Triangle (7)

Deep Sea Fish Hunting Specialty Broadcast

EP.80 Mad Triangle (7)

The Bermuda Hive looked exactly like a gate blockade scene transported straight from the current Earth.

Even the arrangement of the barricades was identical to those used on Earth now.

It’s the tactic used in the ‘Monster Gate Response Manual’ created by Hunter Han Siwoo.

Parang remembered the details well, as it was a part she had read with interest.

One, a primary barricade made of thick steel is placed around the gate, and nearby, reinforced rubber sheets are stacked to be used as supplementary material in case of emergency.

Two, passages for monsters to escape are constructed in the four cardinal directions—east, west, south, and north—and the monsters that come through these narrow passages are concentratedly attacked by the ‘Outer Team,’ made up of low-rank hunters and traditional artillery.

Three, about three to four high-rank hunters wait on top of the barricades and quickly eliminate any high-risk monsters that the Outer Team can’t handle before withdrawing.

It was certainly ‘that arrangement’ Parang had seen to the point of tedium.

And the viewers, who were tens of times more accustomed to gate suppression than Parang, also recognized this familiar setup.

However, they had no mental capacity to pay attention to that.

At the sight of the Bermuda Hive that appeared before them, the viewers couldn’t even think to close their mouths, which were wide open in a mix of horror and astonishment.

The 700-meter diameter gate was still incessantly spewing out large and small monster fish, and around it, large and small gates were appearing and disappearing every few seconds.

Since most of Parang’s viewers were hunters, they could quickly grasp just how insane the scene before them was.

In fact, even if an ordinary person, not a hunter, saw this, the result wouldn’t be much different.

There were pieces of information Parang had mentioned several times in her broadcasts.

“I don’t know when these things started to exist. They were already there when I first entered the sea.”

The hives and objects had existed for quite a long time.

“Hives cannot be destroyed. To be precise, physical intervention is impossible. You can’t even chip off a piece, and you can’t even insert a needle into them.”

Destruction was impossible. Parang had even demonstrated this herself.

So, those things.

Those things, which cannot be destroyed, would coexist with humanity on this Earth forever.

A 700-meter gate that cannot be destroyed by any means would eternally exist, filling this sea with mysterious giant monsters, and even when it was full, it would continue.

Infinitely, infinitely existing and spewing out evil.

Just as gravity exists, just as light reflects.

Like a natural phenomenon governed by an immense, unchangeable cosmic law.

What could a lowly being like a human do in the face of such a colossal disaster?

The expressions of those watching the broadcast quickly hardened.

The sea is dangerous.

It’s not the kind of danger they used to half-jokingly, half-seriously talk about.

The sea is terrifying.

It’s a different kind of fear from the sudden appearance of disgusting monster fish.

They were afraid and terrified, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn’t even dare to try.

Now, an indelible, solid image was imprinted in their minds.

From now on, whenever they saw the sea, they would vaguely, sometimes vividly, recall it.

The unmistakable, unchangeable disaster that existed deep down, clearly, certainly, and forever.

They felt suffocated. Their chests felt tight.

They felt like they couldn’t just stay still. They felt like they had to do something, anything, to overcome this threat.

But what?

How?

What were they contemplating? There was no answer.

They could do nothing.

From the beginning, from the very start.

Until the end of this world, they would be able to do nothing.

‘Hmm…….’

Parang stroked her chin as she watched the chat window slow down.

She thought that those who had been watching her broadcast all this time would be somewhat prepared to accept it.

But it seemed it was still a bit early for the viewers.

Parang knew well how they felt now. She vividly remembered her own feelings when she first saw this.

To some extent, it was true that she had guided the viewers to feel that way.

But ending it there was not something Parang wanted.

Of course, Parang intended for people to fear the sea and be vigilant, but ultimately, what she desired was people’s happiness.

This was a belief Parang had always held. It was also the reason she had saved Shin Yuna without a moment’s hesitation.

She had no desire to see people flounder in indescribable fear.

So, rather than ‘The sea will kill me!!’, Parang’s intention was closer to ‘I am safe on land.’

It’s a similar but distinctly different stance.

Therefore, it was only natural that Parang felt the need to reassure them.

If she hadn’t thought about how to do that, she wouldn’t have come here.

So, what was the method Parang had thought of?

What else but the straightforward approach.

The way to weaken the fear of an absolute, unchangeable something was simple.

Just show that humans could do something against it.

If the visual effect was dramatic, even better.

And fortunately, there was a perfect comrade who met both conditions.

Even lived nearby!

Taking advantage of the chaotic atmosphere, Parang quickly texted Diego.

Parang: It’s time to come out

Parang: .

Parang: .

Parang: .

Parang: .

Parang: .

Unfortunately, Diego couldn’t check his messages because he was covered in metal from head to toe, so they decided to communicate by sending messages to his phone at regular intervals.

Buzz, buzz, buzz buzz buzz.

Two quick vibrations, a short pause, then three quick vibrations again.

It was a pre-arranged signal.

Within less than ten seconds, a mysterious figure in a deep-sea full-body pressure diving suit appeared on Parang’s broadcast screen.

Even the viewers, who were feeling down with indescribable emotions, turned their attention to this new figure.

─ Who is it?

─ What is it?

─ Is it a monster fish??

“Calling him a monster fish is a bit harsh, don’t you think?”

Hmm, it might be a bit understandable.

In fact, Parang had tried to attack him the first time they met. Naturally, a 500-meter-tall giant appeared in front of her. It was hard to think he was human.

This time, they had agreed that he would appear in his usual size to lessen the shock for the viewers.

“Let me introduce you. This is Diego Lopez Martin. My… um, acquaintance. You’ve met another person last time, right?”

─ Oh, I see.

─ The atmosphere is intense.

─ I miss Kyosooni.

‘He does have a good visual impact.’

A giant gate buried in the deep sea, and a deep-sea diver floating in front of it.

It had a heavy, gloomy, somewhat mysterious, and poignant atmosphere that Parang, in her full-body suit, could never dream of.

‘Maybe I should try wearing that next time.’

Parang kept spouting nonsense.

Anyway, she had to do what needed to be done. After briefly introducing Diego, Parang got to the main point.

“Now, everyone. I understand how you feel looking at that giant gate. I’m a hunter, and you probably are too, so you might feel a depressing fear recalling your experiences facing gates. But.”

Parang’s expression became serious.

“But I don’t want you to just fear the sea, fear the monster fish and phenomena, and ruin your day. I just want you to feel how safe the ground you stand on is, and stay there.”

In fact, her expression was always serious. Her intentions never wavered.

“So today, I just want you to see what we can do, and not be too afraid.”

Parang nodded at Diego.

Diego nodded back at Parang and started approaching the hive alone.

“Let’s watch from a distance.”

Parang moved far back until Diego was barely visible.

─ We can’t see anything from here.

─ The host must have something planned.

Eventually, as Diego moved further away, even his tiny figure became invisible.

Thinking this was enough, Parang sent a signal via text,

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

With a sound that made the ground tremble from afar, Diego began to grow larger.

10 meters, 20 meters, 50 meters.

─ Wow, what’s with the gigantification?

─ It’s really huge.

─ What’s the highest record on land?

─ 67 meters 38 centimeters in Korea.

─ Why do you know that so precisely? LOL

─ It’s me.

─ Whoa.

60 meters, 67 meters 38 centimeters, 100 meters.

─ Oh.

─ Oh, oh, oh.

─ What the heck?

─ 150 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters… 500 meters.

Diego, now gigantified to his maximum size, stood next to the gate and looked back at Parang with a thud, thud.

“Ta-da. How is it?”

─ Ta-da, my ass.

─ How many meters is that???

─ Looks about 500.

─ Where did the 67 meters 38 centimeters go?

─ Yeah, I’ll die.

The human brain is quite cunning; no matter how overwhelming something is, if there’s an opponent standing against it, the original thing gets underestimated.

Even though both the original and the opponent are equally enormous and impressive.

That’s exactly the case now.

The 700-meter gate was certainly terrifying, but with a 500-meter person standing next to it, it seemed… manageable.

Just this alone achieved Parang’s original goal.

But she didn’t intend to stop there.

Roarrrrr—

Diego suddenly crouched as if gathering strength.

The area vibrated, and an unknown eerie sound echoed wildly,

─ Huh??

─ What???

─ What???

The thousands of large and small monster fish that had been lingering around the gate were suddenly drawn towards Diego as if being sucked in.

“Now, you can feel reassured, right?”

Parang smiled confidently.

Diego’s abilities weren’t limited to gigantification. He had other skills, of course.

The monster fish that were being sucked towards him with tremendous force,

Bang! Boom! Boom!

Started to burst apart in a gruesome manner.

Blood, flesh, magic stones, and white light scattered everywhere.

Parang swam hard to avoid being sucked in herself.

“Ugh, if only it could distinguish friend from foe, it would be a really great skill!!!!”

Still, a smile spread across her face.

It was probably because she instinctively felt it.

That she had instilled more than just fear in people today.
