Episode 194:


    He was a pretty crazy guy.


    “….”


    I looked down at the Earth Dragon’s corpse. Even though I just killed him, you never know when and at what moment something troublesome may happen.


    I fired a mine at the guy’s head and destroyed his brain.


    bang!


    The monster’s brain is also an expensive part, but it is a world where many developments that go beyondmon sense take ce.


    If there is a possibility of a problem, it is better to deal with it in advance.


    Even if the brain is broken, it won’te back to life.


    After dealing with the Earth Dragon, I turned my head to Yongyong.


    “Give me your essence.”


    [….]


    “Aren’t you going to put it out?”


    [Okay.]


    Yongyong handed over the essence to me with a reluctant expression.


    Jeongsoo, which was emitting a bright light, was apanied by a strong repulsion as if it would not tolerate even being touched.


    Even just looking at it, it seems like a suspicious reaction.


    [It means that I will not give permission to anyone easily.]


    I am only angry at the topic of energy forms. It resisted a few times, but when I pushed back with determination, it couldn’t be thrown back anymore and ended up in my hands.


    The power within was deadly and magical. The power that had no limits, as if it could suck in everything, made anyone feel greedy.


    That’s what power is like.


    Feeling that no matter how much you have, it is still not enough.


    In a world where you can get what you want through force, greed for it wouldn’t be strange.


    [Since ancient times, humans have been drunk with power, broken taboos, and been reduced to very. You have to be careful.]


    “Do you think I would do that?”


    [No, not at all. I just tried it.]


    “Is it okay if I just take it like this?”


    [Yes, it has its own restoration ability, so there is no need to put a lot of effort into managing it.]


    Yongyong, who answered like that, was still chasing the essence with eyes filled with lingering regret.


    “If you want to make me a divine beast, you can persuade me.”


    [I’m crazy? Why get a beating! I’m sure they’ll probably say something really bad for doing something useless.]


    I know that well.


    After hearing that there was no need to put so much effort into management, I roughly took the water and decided to take care of the thing that was bothering me earlier, and fixed my eyes on the sky.


    “How long do you n on watching?”


    Pajik! Puzzle!


    As I stretched out my hand and unleashed the mine, a crack appeared in the empty sky and a loud explosion rang out. These were the eyes of Argus that I had encountered before.


    I tried to trace the power of those eyes, but my eyebrows were drawn together in the wake of the power disappearing without a trace.


    The fact that you failed to chase it through transference means that the distance is farther than you thought.


    But I have a dragon.


    “Can’t you chase that thing?”


    I thought I could chase it down with Shinsoo’s abilities, but the answer I got was disappointing.


    [It’s not near here. Impossible.]


    “How far is it?”


    [It’s not a country near here.]


    “I guess they just sent reconnaissance?”


    I wasn’t able to chase the guy I was watching, but I didn’t have much regret. Because I was the one who got what he wanted. I decided to wait for the next opportunity and took out my smartphone to collect the Earth Dragon’s body.


    * * *


    Kwasik!


    The Hell Master made a fuss as he watched the eye in his hand break, red blood flowing out, and then turn into smoke.


    “and! Was it really as Al said? “How do we deal with such a monster?”


    Hell Master, who was chasing the remains of the Shinsu toplete the gift, tried to go straight to Jeju Ind to find the wreckage that appeared on Jeju Ind.


    It was Argos who stopped him. Since Korea is Choi Jun-ho’s territory, he was likely to appear, so he defeated Hell Master’s will.


    Since it was something Argos would never see on a regr basis, the Hell Master epted it with suspicion.


    Still, I couldn’t let go of my regrets, so I borrowed Argos’ ability to spy on the situation.


    If an opportunity arises, I n to seize the remains of the Divine Beast.


    However, Choi Jun-ho’s inaction at first nce was shocking.


    So much so that I don’t even dare to steal it.


    “Did you get the remains like an egg? Even if you did, isn’t that power beyondmon sense?”


    I couldn’t figure it out at all. It was such shocking inaction. He was an opponent who was unsure whether even his own ‘absolute death’ could lead to death.


    Hell Master, who thought he could kill anyone he wanted, admitted that he was arrogant.


    It is even more difficult to deal with now that the gift cooldown has not arrived.


    “You sure you’re not looking for wreckage every time it appears? “Then it’s difficult.”


    This time, there was a limit to the distance, so he gave up easily, but if he appeared again to im the remains of the next divine beast, he would be in trouble.


    “I’ll have to discuss it with Al.”


    The Hell Master let out a shy smile as he remembered how confidently he had walked out when he left.


    * * *


    “Is thismotion caused by this Earth Dragon?”


    After receiving my call and picking up the Earth Dragon’s body, themotion in Jeju Ind suddenly turned out to be due to the appearance of a plus level monster.


    It was simr in that the essence appeared and caused chaos in the ecosystem. Let’s reveal the existence of the Divine Beast’s essence, so let’s me it all on the Earth Dragon.


    It is an Earth Dragon that gives everything even after death.


    “yes. “It seems that the sudden settlement caused chaos in the ecosystem.”


    “Why did something like this happen…”


    The Jeju Governor clicked his tongue, looking displeased. Still, he seemed quite relieved to hear that I wouldn’t be in any more danger.


    For a moment, the Jeju Governor’s face showed anger as he remembered what I had told him while climbing Mt. Ha.


    “And the culprit who massacred civilians was confirmed to be China.”


    Before the monsters appeared, it was a vige that did business with hikers who were climbing Mt. Ha. The fact that it was located at a strategic point for climbing the mountain resulted in a massacre to eliminate witnesses.


    “There are some who entered the country illegally, but even if they wanted to return, they showed signs of avoiding massacres of civilians. “They are devils disguised as humans!”


    The Jeju Governor exploded with anger, saying, “There is no way the Chinese government will recognize me even if I hand over the bodies of the Chinese people I killed.” The deaths of the vigers literally became meaningless.


    However, different changes may be possible depending on the situation.


    Seeing so much anger over the death of a local resident, I thought that the governor of Jeju Ind seemed like a pretty good person. Is Jeju Ind not being highlighted because it is treated as a periphery? I need to have a good word with the president.


    “Try talking to the government. “I will also mention it.”


    “Yes, thank you for your concern.”


    “And about the monster’s corpse.”


    The Earth Dragon attacked in a rather annoying manner and the body was a mess. I also smashed its head to prevent it froming back to life. As a result, its value has dropped significantly, but it is also true that what is left is worth a lot of money.


    But I decided to give this to the Governor of Jeju Ind, who impressed me deeply.


    “I will be donating it to Jeju Ind, so it would be nice if we could make and use the equipment.”


    “Is that true?”


    “yes. “It’s a hassle to bring it by boat.”


    “thank you! I will use it transparently. I will not forget the grace you gave to Jeju Ind. Thank you again.”


    “It’s not that big of a deal.”


    Still, the Jeju Governor repeatedly expressed his gratitude. He said he would attach a statement and send it as if the statement about transparent use was not a lie.


    One thing is certain.


    Now that I’ve done everything, I was thinking about going back, but the governor of Jeju Ind caught me.


    “Don’t do that, just give me a chance to treat you to a meal.”


    “You don’t have to feel burdened.”


    “No matter what, aren’t you a benefactor? “If I send it to you like this, I will get criticized for being inconsiderate.”


    “It’s really good.”


    But the words that followed made it impossible to ignore.


    “I heard you like soybean paste stew. “In Jeju Ind, there is a special product called obunjagi, and if you put it in soybean paste stew, there is no other delicacy like that.”


    If it was anything else, I would have passed it by without hesitation, but soybean paste stew?


    “…Obunjagi soybean paste stew?”


    “Yes, please try it. “The taste is absolutely delicious.”


    “It is wrong to ignore sincerity, so I will go up after having a meal.”


    “You won’t regret it.”


    The governor of Jeju Ind looked confident.


    * * *


    Well, in the end, the Obunjagi soybean paste stew pick was the best choice.


    If you feel the value ofing to Jeju Ind after eating this, then I have said everything.


    The governor of Jeju Ind did not stop there, but gave us a gift of 5-bun porcin and even shared a delicious recipe.


    He is a man with very correct thoughts.


    After returning to Seoul, I was known externally as having hunted plus-level monsters that had appeared on Jeju Ind, but internally, it was reported that I had killed all the awakened people of various nationalities who were targeting the treasures that had appeared on Jeju Ind.


    Meanwhile, the President’s expression turned cold when he heard the report of the civilian massacre from the Jeju Governor and me.


    “…Let’s file aint with China.”


    The reaction is more intense than expected?


    Cheon Myeong-guk came next to me and spoke in a whisper.


    “If they had been in the past, they would havee out with a hostile attitude, but since they are currently in a civil war, there is a high possibility that they will apologize.”


    It’s unfortunate because it’s that part.


    In the past, this was something I couldn’t even dream of.


    Even thinking about it again, I think releasing Yu Hao was a good choice.


    “We will definitely receive payment for the massacre of civilians.”


    Cheon Myeong-guk also showed a fairly decisive attitude.


    He stated that he could never sit idly by while awakeners from other countries massacred their own civilians.


    Well, I think you would do well as president, right?


    However, he seemed unaware that the president had chosen him as his sessor.


    Well, there was no need to break the pain, so I didn’t bother to tell her.


    I’m a little curious about what their facial expressions will be like when they find out the truthter.


    “Why do you look at me like that?”


    “No, it’s nothing.”


    You can just leave that for the fun of it.


    * * *


    After finishing the report, I made an appointment with Hyuna through Yongyong.


    Arriving at the destroyed dockside in the early morning with no one in sight, I looked at Hyuna appearing just as I had seen in Brunei.


    This time I didn’t feel any fishy smell, probably because I was paying attention.


    It’s definitely different from Yongyong, who doesn’t improve much no matter how many times I talk about him.


    [Why am I out there again?]


    I just want to start a fight when I see you. If you are dissatisfied, do well.


    [Do you know what kind of neighborhood book I am?]


    It’s hard to be so thoroughly objective about yourself, but it definitely shows Shinsoo’s ss.


    [You just need to know!]


    When I see him shrug it off again, I want to start a fight. If you touch me any more, I’ll get angry, so I’ll have to endure it.


    I saw Hyuna approaching before I knew it, so I stopped arguing with Yongyong and offered her the water I drank from Mt. Ha.


    “receive.”


    “thank you.”


    Hyuna took the essence and looked at it for a moment without saying anything.


    What are you trying to do?


    [uh! No way! Wait a minute!]


    Yongyong shouted in surprise, but Hyuna acted faster.


    The essence on my hand floated alone, and the light became more intense, then split into several pieces and scattered in all directions.


    Was it stored separately? Or does it have another use?


    I asked because it was a phenomenon that I could not tell even if I watched it.


    “How did you do it?”


    “We returned it to nature. “This will bring life to a world steeped in death.”


    It was a very simple processpared to the difficulty it took to obtain it.


    Wasn’t that what you wanted me to find you for? You think it can be handled this easily?


    I nced to the side and saw Yongyong looking devastated.


    “Yongyong said he wanted to make that a divine beast?”


    [Ah, why are you saying that!]


    Did you really think that we would keep the conversation between us a secret?


    As expected, Hyuna’s drowsy eyes changed in an unusual way.


    “Did Yong say such nonsense again?”


    “No big deal?”


    “ha!”


    Yongyong lets out a long sigh and his body trembles. There’s something about this.


    “Yong, you can talk to meter.”


    [I wasn’t saying anything strange.]


    “Are you going to keep insisting?”


    [Oh no. It’s not like that, I just said that it was possible, but that person was taunting so shamefully…]


    Yongyong’s voice, which was gradually dying, was suppressed by Hyuna’s gaze. As expected, I can’t move. But why is it like that? Unfortunately, it seems like Hyuna doesn’t have any intention of telling me that.


    “Then shall we settle the ount now?”


    “Yes, I have to keep my promise.”


    “That’s a very good attitude.”


    Will I finally encounter a hematoma?


    “You said you wanted to meet the other personality within you, right?”


    “Yeah, he’s crazy.”


    “it’s crazy?”


    Why do people react like that when they call a crazy person a crazy person?


    “I want to find that guy and get rid of him.”


    “It is not easy. The two are one and yet two. and.”


    Hyuna said while looking at me intently.


    “Based on you, I don’t think I’m that crazy…”


    [Look, am I right? In fact, you are even crazier!]


    Is Yongyong retaliating because I told him off? It says something that can never be forgotten.


    “gibberish.”


    [It’s real! Right?]


    “I don’t know the crazy standards of humans. First of all, you are normal as a human, right?”


    “of course.”


    I have been making special efforts since returning to the past to maintain my sanity.


    There is no way that the divine beasts who have lived a noble life would know about that effort.


    “Then the child inside you is normal….”


    “What if I’m crazy?”


    “Is he a little crazy?”


    “….”


    I’m going crazy and jumping up and down.
