My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

〈 Intermission (1) 〉

The Daeryong Group scandal caused a huge stir in Korea.

However, it did not become a big topic even overseas.

In fact, if you think about it, something like that was already a common occurrence in other countries.

Even if they heard the news, there were many who felt that the reaction of Korean public opinion was unusual, and most of them just ignored it.

“…Work is going to be a hassle. “Have they even begun to take action against those with vested interests?”

Of course, those who had been closely watching the situation from the beginning were an exception.

Even more so if you are a direct party.

“It’s a shame, it’s a shame. “It would be difficult to find a place that meets all the conditions as well as Daeryong.”

New Delhi, the capital of India.

In the middle of a room where mandala-patterned fabrics were arranged like a maze, a brown-skinned woman reclining on a sofa muttered softly.

Then, as if trying to soothe her discomfort, she continued puffing on her hookah and exhaling thick smoke.

Light blue, pink, light green, etc.

Every time she exhaled, a pastel-colored mist filled the room.

‘…Tsk, I can’t help it. I expected it to some extent.’

After spending some time like that, my mind became hazy and my irritation gradually began to subside.

Well, taking that into account, didn’t they deliberately limit the information given to that greedy old man?

‘It’s a shame that I lost one move without even being able to use it properly.’

In fact, it wasn’t like I gained nothing at all.

Thanks to this, we were able to see that the other party’s influence in Korea and its ability to collect information far exceeded the level previously assumed.

It is not yet known whether it will be used overseas, but if we take that into account in the future, we will be able to move more efficiently.

‘Should we leave Korea alone for a while? There wouldn’t be much benefit to moving in this situation.’

She was lost in thought for a moment—the Oracle nodded slowly.

Anyway, what happened in the past cannot be helped.

All she had to do now was take all of that into account and draw a big picture for the future.

“Fufu—.”

Her eyes were half-closed, and a long stream of light yellow smoke came out of her mouth.

An irregular lump of smoke that sways and dances here and there.

As she stared at it blankly, her eyes slowly lost focus.

Whoosh— whoosh— whoosh—

A torrent of torrent flowed through her mind.

All the elements that make up the world collapsed, entangled together, and various indefinable ideas wriggled, mixing and separating repeatedly.

The mountains and the sea coexisted, and human-like clouds hammered away at the sun and read foxes.

A bug that looks like a gun, an elephant that drinks lightning, a star made of mud, etc…

It was about an hour later that she came to her senses after swimming in hallucinations of which she could not even tell the connection.

“Hmm.”

As soon as her eyes returned to focus, she naturally stretched out her hand to the side, holding a hookah in her mouth.

Then he picked up a communication device that was lying there and immediately sent a message to someone.

-What’s going on, Oracle? So suddenly.

“It’s nothing special… You said you’re in the Philippines, right?”

-It did. Those rat bastards were bothering me so much that I was planning on wiping them all out, but I can’t even see where they’re hiding. I was getting annoyed because there were so many islands.

“Go to Dinagat. “It looks like he’s hiding there and trying to do something.”

-Hoo? That’s good news. It’s not difficult to handle if you know the location. No matter how hard they try, they are just rats.

She nodded slowly to the bright voice of the Southeast Asia branch manager coming from the communication port and slowly opened her mouth.

In fact, informing me of the location of the resistance organization was only a minor element, and there was a separate main point that I wanted to talk about from the beginning.

“And I plan to send an executioner there soon.”

-…That crazy guy? I heard you’re very busy in Africa.

The branch manager’s voice became trembled at her words.

He also prided himself on being a great crazy guy who wouldn’t bow down to anyone, but the person mentioned just now was such a burdensome greeting that even he had to give up a few moves.

“Yes, I think we need to respond more proactively. You already know, right? The duke’s secretary has been attacked by the ruler and the doctor has gone into hibernation. “It is difficult to suffer further damage here.”

-Hmm, if that’s what the Oracle means, there’s nothing we can do.

The head of the Southeast Asia branch looked very dissatisfied, but agreed as if there was nothing else to do.

The superiors have already thought it through and made a decision, so what’s the point of complaining about it now?

And the fact that I also secretly felt uneasy also played a role.

Even the head of the European branch, ‘Duke’, a strong man that even he could not easily regard, died unexpectedly not long ago.

“Okay then, good luck.”

-It’s going to be a hassle in the future. I need to relieve my stress in advance by kicking the rats.

That’s how communication ends.

Oracle narrowed his eyes and quietly looked into space.

As if trying to forcefully reveal something invisible.

“…I still can’t see anything. But…”

I missed a variable with that excuse once or twice, but if it was repeated several times, I would get the hang of it.

Although her combat power was not that great, she was also a being who had stepped into the realm of transcendence in this respect.

And doesn’t she have a world-wide information network?

Thanks to this, it wasn’t that difficult to guess the next target the ‘enemy’ would aim for.

‘Then I’ll have to start preparing soon.’

Get ready to welcome the guest Jinsang, who has been disturbing Jigiri so far.

***

Africa is notorious for having the worst security conditions.

The land, where there had been constant fighting even before the existence of the Awakened, had long since become a literal hell of the present.

People dying on this earth was not even a big news story.

Most governments found it difficult to even protect the capital and other major cities, and control over local areas was almost non-existent.

As a result, warlords and criminal organizations are mushrooming, occupying the area, and fighting every day.

Of course, at the center were not soldiers with guns or swords, but returnees with special abilities, and they repeatedly fought to the death and kill each other, using all the skills they had acquired in the other world.

It would probably be no exaggeration to say that this continent is where the most active battles of supernatural abilities take place on Earth.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu “Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Qiuu Qiu)

As such, what is happening now was not that common.

A transcendent level awakened person who has been fighting in this land for over ten years looks terrified.

It was an even more unbelievable sight considering that he was a homicidal maniac who tore people to pieces with his bare hands without even blinking… but if

anyone were to encounter the scene he faced, they would have no choice but to react the same way.

Grumbling—

red.

Everything was red everywhere.

All that is visible is wildly burning flames and sticky blood covering the cracked ground.

Psik— Kwasik—

No, it wasn’t.

There was only one thing here that wasn’t red.

A figure slowly approaches him, stepping on crushed pieces of flesh whose shape is unrecognizable.

Or, is it okay to refer to that being as a ‘person’?

The South Sudanese transcendental man, who was the most powerful man in the vicinity, covered in blood and with both his legs cut off and lying on the ground, looked up blankly at his approaching opponent, thinking this.

It has pitch-black scales that reflect blazing fire from all directions, four sharp horns sprouting from its head and soaring into the sky over a large body measuring more than 3 meters, and a pair of bat-wing spear-like tips spread out on its back, and a long tail that swings like a whip.

Anyone could see that it had the shape of a devil who had just come up from hell.

‘Is that really an awakened person like me? ‘Could it really be something from another world?’

Two eyes shining bright red above teeth that protrude roughly like a shark.

When my eyes met it head-on, my mind, which had reached transcendence and was completed, shook precariously.

“Fuck damn it!”

Suddenly,

as he stared at the slowly approaching demon in fear, he chewed his tongue with a distorted face.

The pain in my mouth that makes me feel sobering.

He then struggled to get up and straightened his posture.

Thanks to the Transcendant’s resilience, the cross section of the severed leg had already stopped bleeding for a long time.

One side was cut below the knee and the other was cut from the middle of the shin, making it unbalanced, but that was not a big problem for him as a transcendental person.

‘…There is no chance of winning.’

He knew that best.

Not only had all of the elite awakened people under his command been torn apart by that one demon just moments ago, but hadn’t he himself lost both legs?

Considering that there were a lot of master-level strongmen among them who, although not as good as him, had been through battle, it was to the point where I could keenly feel how ridiculous the situation was.

‘But I have no intention of dying easily like this.’

He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.

This was a matter of pride.

As a butcher who was widely known in the world and reigned as the strongest man in South Sudan, he couldn’t die without leaving even a minor wound to someone who didn’t even know who he was.

The ether that surged with his fighting spirit consumed his life and covered his entire body.

Stop.

At the same time, the devil’s steps slowly approaching him stopped.

Of course, it was not for the good reason of being overwhelmed by the fighting spirit of the opponent who disregarded his life.

It was just that a message arrived from someone who couldn’t be ignored.

[…….]

After checking the contents of the message, he nodded slowly.

I tried to enjoy it more leisurely, but I felt like I had to end it now.

Roaring—

Bright red flames rose from the devil’s hands and soared high along the vicious claws.

Just from the aftermath, the surrounding space became distorted and cracks began to appear in the ground I was standing on.

“Whoa whoa.”

Cold sweat dripped from the face of the transcendental person who was faced with that enormous intimidation.

It was blazing and burning, but it wasn’t a real flame.

An ultra-high-density mass of energy whose shape is overlaid with the image of fire.

It was the essence of overwhelming destruction that not only crushed his subordinates into blood, but also took away his own two legs.

“Aaaah! die!”

Anyway, there is nothing left for him now.

He threw his life away without hesitation and used his own body as a bullet to deliver the final blow.

Toward the devil in front of him who took everything from him.

Right after that.

[Phew—]

Even in the midst of the slaughter, a ray of laughter escaped from the mouth of the devil, who had not said a word the whole time.

It seems like he’s finally satisfied with it.

It seems like a satisfactory situation has finally been created.

Flap—

the wings behind his back were wide open.

The four horns let out a soft resonant sound.

And he raised the corners of his mouth as he faced the shooting star-like beam of light flying in front of him.

He stretched out a hand covered in bright red flames and swung it towards it.

Lightly, like tearing a piece of paper.

———!

In an instant, the space was torn apart.

There was no noise.

Immediately after that, a roar that could be perceived by humans was heard.

Coo coo coo— kwaaaang—!

Everything in the trajectory was instantly crushed and exploded by the enormous shock wave generated as the torn space was repaired.

The earth’s axis twisted, an earthquake occurred, and the clouds in the sky scattered and disappeared.

In the aftermath, remnants of energy flew in all directions and the heavens and earth were engulfed in flames.

Kugugu Palace – Hwareuk –

A scene of overwhelming destruction.

All that remained there was the vibration caused by the earthquake and the sound of the fire burning.

The only thing that exists where the person was just a moment ago is a huge scar that looks like a scratch on the ground.

The only person standing there unharmed was the devil lightly shaking his hands.

[…It’s a shame.]

He glanced down at his chest.

Jet black scales covering the entire body.

Some of them were broken.

‘It would have been more fun if I had used this much power from the beginning.’

Wherever you go, will you be able to meet someone who will satisfy your thirst?

He slightly tilted his head and turned around, spreading his wings wide.

To move on to the next location as usual.

Flap — flap —

Africa is a barbaric land where not much information is known because it is extremely closed.

The ‘Executioner’, a member of the SS unit directly under Hoeju, who had been traveling there alone and repeatedly massacring, headed to the Philippines.

Leaving behind only the double-digit souls of the transcendent and the inestimable victims.

***

Inside “Dragon Lair”, which is a private level just for you.

“It’s finally finished!”

A loud voice came from the workshop area provided there.

State-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, including a huge furnace with fierce flames and an anvil with a mysterious light.

In the middle of it all, a dwarf was dancing wildly, waving his beard and holding a metal toshi in both hands.

“Hahaha! Yes, there is no way something is impossible for this body! “It’s nothing!”

Dwarf Howard worked hard to minimize erosion to create a language interpreter magic tool as a gift for Andrew.

I was prepared that it would take a long time as the level of difficulty was high, but the period could be greatly shortened due to several factors depending on the environment.

‘Yes, this “Dragon Lair” was a separate world not bound by any laws!’

This is not Earth, Outerica, or Kang Hwan Realm.

Of course, it was not bound by any logic and there were no limits to the materials that could be used.

Even if it’s something from another world that I’ve never seen before.

‘Very good. It’s a workshop with the best conditions. Of course, now that we have a “savior” who ignores dimensional restrictions, we can do similar work in other worlds, but it won’t be as easy to build an environment as good as here.’

The ultimate magic workshop prepared just for you, where you can enter and exit anytime, anywhere.

In addition, a semi-permanent time acceleration barrier was installed that utilized the flow of energy inside “Dragon Lair,” so it was no exaggeration to say that the production environment was at the heavenly level.

If you were in this workshop, you could utilize close to 100 times as much time as on Earth.

“Now we can give wings to Andrew’s activities.”

Howard smiled happily and gently stroked the beautifully crafted metal toshi.

I thought of Andrew’s joy when he received it.

Of course, the other person’s wishes were not taken into consideration at all.

There is no way in this world that would not like receiving such a precious item!
