Chapter 418
Episode 418
It was a figure I had seen before.
This is exactly what a hermit wise man looks like in a human phenomenon.
Previously, he had dragged me into a world of images, but now he appeared while Yongyong and I were watching.
The hermit sage smiled brightly, as if he had been waiting for me.
[He somehow managed to find me. If you’ve come this far, it means that God is giving that friend quite a hard time, right?]
Unlike what I saw in the world of images, the guy showed a light appearance and chuckled.
If meeting in the world of images had been a one-way transfer of information, now it felt like we were having a conversation.
They said it was extinct, but is it safe? No, this guy didn’t have the unique presence of a Shinsu. If so, there is a high probability that it is a residual thought.
[This must be the result of burning my essence and returning it to the past.]
[What? Gasp!]
The sound of Yongyong swallowing empty air was heard from behind.
It’s going to be noisy.
“Was it your doing?”
[I heard that humans need a chance to correct their entire lives at least once. I gave you that opportunity. Yes, getting this far means that you failed once and succeeded again with the opportunity you were given. My hypothesis was correct.]
Beyond the calmness of his eyes, there was a deep madness lurking.
“Why did you do this?”
[The first is my pure curiosity.]
You did this with just that?
When I thought about my life being swayed by this guy’s tricks, my expression naturally became distorted.
[Secondly, I wanted to stop my friend who was trying to devour the world. As you know, this guy’s ambition is not normal. I thought it would be impossible for me to stop this on my own. So I needed someone to block my ambition.]
I thought that was nonsense.
[I thought there was no way a compatriot who was so proud of himself would step forward. If you step forward alone, you will be punished, and there is no need to step forward as a group.]
…Because he himself is a divine beast, he was able to see through its essence accurately.
I didn’t like that, so I answered crookedly.
“Have you ever thought about the possibility of me cooperating with God?”
[That couldn’t be possible. He said that if that friend poses a threat to him, he will be eliminated. There is no way you would lose everything and choose submission after reaching that level.]
He knew it all from the beginning.
[But the balance wasn’t right. So I burned everything I had and took my friend’s body. In the first place, he was also full of thoughts of destroying me, so it seems like our plan worked.] I laughed out loud, wondering
how enjoyable the story of my own extinction was.
[In the first place, all I could do was buy time like that.]
“So what do you get?”
[Seeing the gods who want to become gods and the humans who challenge gods. I am so curious to see who will win: the divine beast who has a human heart and has become uniquely strong, or the human who has gained the power to become a god!] He brought out the madness he had hidden away and looked at me intently with blood-curdling eyes
.
[You won’t forget who gave you that power, right? Now show me how that power works. Because the person I chose has that much potential. When two desires collide, who will be the winner….]
Pajijik!
I couldn’t hold back any longer and used my hand, and a strong spark erupted. The figure of the guy who had been fine until a moment ago began to visibly shake.
In the first place, what was left here was nothing more than a thought. He was saying that he wanted to see results on a topic that would not last long and would disperse.
[I’ll go back to that part of the world and look forward to the results of the confrontation between you and him. Show me the results I want. Hahahaha!]
With that, the existence of the hermit sage disappeared without a trace.
“….”
He was an unpleasant guy from beginning to end.
In the end, he dragged me in because he sensed the self-proclaimed god’s desire to devour the world.
Knowing that I and the self-proclaimed god can never coexist.
“I was caught in a bad way.”
I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t do anything to something that was already extinct, but knowing that I had gained blood feeding and everything that brought me back to the past made me feel relieved.
Yes, I will reward you for gaining strength. However, if you continue to play pranks after that, everything it touches will be erased.
Now I have to deal with the remaining annoying tasks.
[Are you a human from the future?]
It was the intervention of Yongyong, who was listening to the whole story.
The guy who couldn’t shake off his surprise was asking me a lot of questions.
“Are you sad?”
[I didn’t know you were hiding such a secret.]
It’s not surprising if Yongyong is disappointed. This is something I never knew even though he was reading my thoughts right next to me. But I was proud of hiding the truth.
But Yongyong’s reaction was different from what I expected.
[Phew, that’s a relief.]
“What? Relief?”
[Of course I’m glad. The fact that you’re as strong as us isn’t just because of your talent. Because we came from the future, went through trial and error, and were chosen by our people. Yes, there is no way we can easily be caught up by humans. I already had my pride hurt because of this…]
“….”
It was a completely different disappointment than I expected.
I didn’t know he was paying that much attention to that part.
It seemed that Shinsoo’s pride was greater than I thought.
“I guess you didn’t think much about keeping it a secret.”
[Because everyone has secrets. I didn’t tell you everything, so there’s no reason to be upset that you didn’t tell me everything. It’s just surprising.]
“I see.”
[But I’m curious. Looking at your reaction, it doesn’t seem like God will win in the future either.] He
pretends to be sloppy, but at times like this he shows his sharp side.
The place where I was devoured by the blood race was a place where the League prevailed over God. Perhaps the Thunderbird did not disappear, so there must have been an invisible balance in place.
So did I end up tipping the balance?
There didn’t seem to be anything good to say to Yongyong.
[So what happened there?]
“You don’t have to know. “Let’s go back.”
[Ah, there is nothing easy to say. Let me tell you.]
Although grumbling, Yongyong obediently followed after me.

After going on a spontaneous visit and finding out all the hidden secrets, what remained was a sense of relief.
The hermit sage ultimately chose me as the object of his use. I was swayed to the beat, but if it weren’t for that guy’s choice, I would never have acquired blood feeding and I wouldn’t have gained this kind of power.
When I mentioned ‘failure’ in the process, I was referring to the case where I became a hematoma.
This guy knew that he could pay a price for his great power.
“I don’t like it because it feels like I’m belittling it.”
But I was able to be where I am today because I was given one more chance.
Even though I had no choice but to clash with the self-proclaimed god due to his tricks, it was actually a good thing because it was an unavoidable threat.
It was entirely up to me to make choices and exercise my skills.
Well, you can think of this as a reward for giving me blood feeding.
I also wanted to find out how much power this guy who calls himself a god has.
“Aren’t you going?”
[I? Where are you going?]
Yongyong, who found out about my secret, broke the expectation that he would immediately run to Hyuna and stayed right next to me.
It may have been a long-awaited incident, but the world was carefree.
[Oh, that?]
Yongyong stopped talking and smiled at me.
[Hidden it all this time means you want to keep it a secret, right? It’s an interesting fact how you have such power, but I don’t want to offend you by telling you.]
Those were deep words that were uncharacteristic of Yongyong.
Honestly, I was surprised.
He didn’t stop there and continued talking.
[What’s important now is that you’re going to stand up to God, right? That’s enough. It’s not like everything ends when you eliminate him.]
Yes, Yongyong was watching until after that.
“I haven’t really thought about it that far.”
[What would you have said?]
That’s strangely annoying. Well, it’s something I can do because I put a lot of effort into it.
As I was about to organize my thoughts and take action, unexpected news arrived from Europe.
It was Franz’s request for asylum.
*
* *
“Sir Franz’s exile can be interpreted to mean that God has taken complete control of Europe.”
Cheon Myeong-guk said so at the gathering at the Blue House.
It was not easy to obtain information from Europe, which had established itself as the self-proclaimed home base of God, but Saudi Arabia was providing great help.
King Ahmed was extremely sensitive to the expansion of the self-proclaimed God’s domain and was actively cooperating with us to relay information flowing from Europe.
“We’ll have to hear more details, but it’s a much faster move than before.”
“The Vatican’s investigation was also blocked. “I think some kind of action has been taken.”
As Cheon Myeong-guk and Lee Se-hee spoke, it was clear that the self-proclaimed god had sensed the situation and moved ahead.
“What would you like me to do?”
“Asylum has been requested, so it is best to accept it. Sir Franz is a man of high prestige not only in Europe but also around the world. “Having someone like that will be a great help in removing the fanatical atmosphere that hangs over Europe in the future.”
Although his skills as a superhuman were on the decline, he was useful in a symbolic sense.
“What do you think, Superhuman?”
“….”
It is true that old Franz has a special meaning to me.
Even though he knew he would die for his beliefs, he sacrificed his life to plant a seed in me.
It had a great impact and germinated after experiencing Jeong Da-hyun’s case.
However, the past relationship was not enough to ruin the trend.
I was able to read the subtle nuances in Cheon Myeong-guk’s words.
“I will personally go and meet you.”
“You mean directly?”
“Yes, directly. So, I would appreciate it if you could tell me to come to Saudi Arabia.”
“All right.”
I turned around after hearing Cheon Myeong-guk’s answer. There was a lot to do.
*

Lee Se-hee looked at Choi Jun-ho’s back and tilted his head.
Something about his attitude and tone was different from usual.
“Is there something I don’t know?”
“I also noticed it through the simulation, but I guess you guessed it first.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that exile at this time is complicated.”
Lee Se-hee stopped at the words of Jeong Joo-ho, who suddenly interrupted.
When I turned my head, I saw Cheon Myeong-guk nodding.
“Mr Chairman, how likely do you think it is that Sir Franz chose to go into exile of his own accord?”
“You’ve been maintaining your position for so long, so why bother at this time?”
As Jung Joo-ho added his words, the feeling of discomfort became stronger.
“I know Sir Franz is struggling in the European Union. Even the situation is precarious. If God had made up his mind, he would have already… Oh, really?”
A possibility that had never been mentioned here occurred to Lee Se-hee’s mind.
Behavior that was different from usual and some kind of resolution. Rather than waiting for them to come here, go directly.
Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression became clouded.
“Maybe something tragic will happen to you, Superhuman.”
