[ 3rd Hellgate (4) ]
Pacific The headquarters of the Demon King of Commerce.
A huge map of the entire Earth was displayed on the screen in front of the operation control room.
Inside the control room, experts and technicians from all levels were gathered.
They analyzed the situation in each operational area by checking various figures that changed every moment through the main screen and personal screen.
“Area 1. “The error range of the gate estimate is within 3%.”
“Region 2. “The error range of the gate estimate is within 2%.”
“Third region. “The error range of the gate estimate is within 2%.”
“Area 5….”
“Area 8! Gate expected value error margin exceeded by more than 5%! We need support from our reserve forces!”
The 3rd Hellgate occurred simultaneously in a total of 12 locations.
Accordingly, the Dimensional Allied Forces established defense lines in all 12 locations.
Thanks to the ‘future’ seen by the prophet, the Dimensional Allied Forces were able to devote nearly a month to building defense lines and preparing for war.
However, no matter how much preparation was made, the Allied forces could not help but feel anxious.
This is because the 3rd Hell Gate is on a different level from the previous ones.
The decisive reason is
“Appearance!” The Demon King ‘Poras’ has appeared in Region 8!!”
-Aaaaeaaang!
Starting with that report, an alarm sounded throughout the operation control room and a red light came on. Everyone’s hands and eyes doubled in speed and their voices rose one by one.
“We have confirmed the appearance of the Demon King ‘Storas’ in the first area as well!”
“The Demon King ‘Malphas’ appears in the 3rd area!”
“The Demon Lord ‘Bine’ is appearing in Region 7!”
“The demon lord ‘Hagenti’ has appeared in Region 10!”
“Region 12. The demon lord ‘Andras’ is appearing…”
Some of the red dots on the map spread out on the central screen of the control room blinked and slowly turned black.
There are 6 spots that have turned black.
It meant special areas where demon lords appeared.
‘Have the demon lords finally descended?…’
Gulp.
Joo Sang-wook stared at the main screen in the center with a very nervous expression.
Before I knew it, the main screen, which was to be divided into six screens, was showing the area where each demon lord appeared.
[Khahahahaha!]
As soon as the demon kings appeared, they created a storm. Just by bursting into laughter, a huge shock wave erupted, and a lightly swung attack devastated a radius of hundreds of meters. As soon as I stamped my foot, the ground cracked like a spider web and an earthquake occurred several kilometers away.
The forms of the demon kings were diverse.
Poras was a knight wearing armor blazing with black flames, Malphas was the shape of a monster with six pairs of wings, Binet resembled a lizard with the head of a lion, and Hagenti resembled a three-headed centaur.
Their appearance varied greatly, but their power was strong enough to shake the battlefield just by appearing.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Part of the defense line of the 8th region collapsed due to the sword swung by Demon King Poras.
Ranked 31st in the Demon World.
He was the first demon king to appear on Earth and the most powerful demon king that had ever appeared.
Naturally, people’s attention was focused most on Poras.
The place where it appeared is Area 8. Henan Province, China.
It was also a battlefield where people whom Joo Sang-wook knew well were fighting.
“this guy! Do you think I’ll just let him run wild as he pleases?”
Baek Chang-soo and elite superhumans from the WH Korea headquarters blocked the front of Demon King Pharos.
There was no introduction or conversation between them.
Poras was a quiet devil and had a personality that preferred violence over words.
Huuuuung-!
Baek Chang-su and the superhumans he led clashed with the sword swung by the Demon King with all their might.
“Stop it! “We can’t let him break down our defenses anymore!”
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Power collided head-on, creating a storm in the area. There was a series of loud noises and earthquakes as if the heavens and earth were turning upside down.
Pharos looked at the superhumans who had difficulty blocking his blow.
[Pretty good.]
And I prepared a second attack that was stronger than before. Black flames boiled over his great sword.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The personnel inside the operation control room were watching the fight with serious expressions.
“CEO…”
Baek Young-hee muttered with a nervous expression. Because it was a public position, she used the title CEO, not father.
Joo Sang-wook spoke next to him.
“CEO Baek Chang-soo is a strong person. No matter how much the opponent is a demon lord, he will be able to successfully block it.”
“of course. “I know that better than anyone else.”
Baek Young-hee returned to her usual expression and nodded. However, Joo Sang-wook did not miss the trembling of her fingertips.
From the moment the demon lords appeared on the ground, all kinds of numbers appeared on the monitor and started to sound alarms.
The expressions of the experts who checked the numbers changed suddenly.
“The magic power of the area where the Demon King appeared is rapidly becoming contaminated.”
“The monsters that have received the devil’s protection are entering a berserk state.”
“Demonization is progressing rapidly throughout Region 8.”
Joo Sang-wook furrowed his brows for a moment as he heard the successive reports.
But the worry did not last long.
Haven’t we already done numerous simulations to prepare for today?
Joo Sang-wook looked around at the nervous people and said.
“Six demon kings. The number is not as large as expected. So, please complete the power analysis as quickly as possible.”
““Yes!””
Being scared here
is disrespectful to a man who decided to sacrifice everything to save humanity.
Beyond the screen, demon kings and superhumans were clashing one after another.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The great sword of Demon King Pharos and the spear of Baek Changsu clashed. When Baek Chang-su bounced back, Wang Gu-ho filled the gap. At the same time, the elite superhumans that the WH Guild was proud of attacked from all directions, distracting the Demon King.
Here, the weakening magic of the wizards and the sacred magic of the priests entangled the Demon King in dozens of layers like a spider web.
[Go away!]
However, the magic is broken by the Demon King’s roar and the divine power is scattered. The complexions of the superhumans nearby turned pale.
“…As expected, he’s strong.”
Joo Sang-wook muttered, biting his lips tightly.
The situation was similar in places other than Region 8.
In the first area, the elite forces of the Heavenly Demon God Church were blocking ‘Storas’, and
in the third area, the Murim Alliance led by the Three Heavenly Kings faced ‘Malpas’.
In Region 7, the Gaia Allied Forces were barely holding out against ‘Vine’, and
in Region 10 and Region 12, the strong members of the Dimensional Allied Forces were fighting hard against the Demon King.
‘No matter how strong the demon lords are, we are not easily defeated.’
It was quite close, but everyone was holding on somehow.
Joo Sang-wook muttered with a prayerful heart.
“Just a little more time…”
Did that prayer reach? The experts who completed the power analysis shouted.
“Area 8. Power analysis is complete!”
“Area 1. Power analysis is complete!”
“Area 7. Power analysis is complete!”
Joo Sang-wook, with shining eyes, gave instructions to the signal soldiers.
“Establish communications with all local command centers immediately.”
“yes!”
Joo Sang-wook thought while waiting for the communication to be connected.
‘Up to this point, it’s just as prophesied.’
The great man had already ‘predicted’ this situation.
“The number of people who come across at first seems to be about ten at most, five at most. “The powerful demon lord of the 10th throne… appears to have not yet crossed the level.”
Knowing the future is such a foul ability.
The great man has already hunted two demon lords with that ability.
Since they didn’t know what kind of trap there might be, the demon kings had no choice but to be more careful than before.
[1st Area Command. Communication status good.]
[2nd Area Command. Communication status is good.]
[Third Regional Command….]
All communications between the Demon King’s headquarters and the twelve regional headquarters are connected.
The faces of commanders from each region appeared on the main screen.
Presidents of countries, kings of other dimensions, heads of large organizations.
They were all waiting for instructions from headquarters.
‘How could I…’
Joo Sang-wook felt like he was suffocating from the immense pressure and responsibility.
President Kim Soo-ho was fighting on the battlefield, not to mention CEO Baek Chang-soo.
Eventually, Joo Sang-wook became the head of the Demon King’s headquarters.
The pressure was so great that it made my stomach ache, but now was not the time to sound weak.
“…The power analysis of the entire Hellgate area and the demon lords has just been completed. “We will begin full-scale operations now.”
[[I understand.]]
The commanders nodded as if they had been waiting.
It is not for nothing that experts from various levels have gathered here.
They analyzed the data on the monsters and demons that had appeared in each area just a moment ago, and after the demon lords appeared, they added their influence and completed the analysis.
As a result, we were able to produce optimal results.
Jang Young-shin, who returned from the maintenance room, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
“Divine suit. “The inspection has been completed.”
Kiri of the Rorlow race said.
“We are ready to use the teleport system to transmit improved equipment optimized for each combat area.”
Joo Sang-wook nodded to the two and said.
“Send it now.”
Weeeeeeeee!
The boxes stored in the Demon King’s warehouse were engulfed in white light and were sent to the required area.
“Transfer to Area 8 completed!”
“Transfer to Region 3 completed!”
“First area transmission….”
The teleport system was a transmission system created by improving gateway technology. The Demon King Castle became a huge logistics warehouse, transmitting necessary equipment to each headquarters in real time.
This was just the beginning.
“This is data analyzed by experts about demon kings based on the prophet’s predictions.”
A month ago, Daein delivered information about the Demon Lords ‘seen from the future’ to the Dimensional Allied Forces.
But until just now, it was all just theory. Several experts directly observed the demon kings and analyzed the opponent’s battle patterns and weaknesses.
“I will send the final version of the strategy along with the just completed Divine Suit to the interception team.”
After a while, an answer came from the captains of the interception team who were fighting the demon lords on the scene.
[Confirmed.]
[Click. Confirmed.]
[Why not use something like this… Anyway, use it well.]
It was the moment when the tide of the battlefield began to change.
***
Baek Chang-su put on the equipment sent to him by the Demon King as soon as he received it.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
When I held the thin plate-shaped metal to my chest, the metal spread thinly over my entire body and gave off a soft light.
Divine suit.
It was a special armor that Jang Yeong-shin produced just in time to create futuristic equipment custom-designed to deal with each demon lord.
Even if there was a blueprint, it was an item that only Jang Young-shin could make.
Because it was something he created in the future.
Its performance was enough to astonish the Demon King.
[Why is my black flame…!]
Pharos widened his eyes as he looked at Baek Chang-soo running through his black flame.
Clearly, the human who had been busy avoiding the attack just a moment ago was suddenly approaching, cutting down the black flames without hesitation.
Sigh!
Baek Chang-soo, who had already come within a stone’s throw of the Demon King, smiled, revealing his white teeth.
“you. Aren’t you tired already? “I’m starting from now on.”
He seemed genuinely happy.
***
The movement of the Dimensional Alliance has changed.
The army, which had been concentrating on strengthening the defensive line and blocking the pouring monsters, began to narrow the siege.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
As if they had been deliberately saved until now, weapons that had not been seen before appeared and began to advance, wiping out the enemy.
[These things suddenly…!]
[Why doesn’t my power work!]
[Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadayh… Things like scum!]
The excited demon kings ran wild, but they seemed overwhelmed just dealing with the humans who had suddenly become stronger.
Joo Sang-wook smiled coldly as he watched the scene on the main screen.
“Did you think we would continue to suffer?”
You cannot gain the upper hand in war by only defending yourself.
The best defense is offense.
In other words, it is now the Allied forces’ turn to begin the attack.
‘Until the vice president returns… we’ll shake them up as much as we can!’
Joo Sang-wook reflected on his role.
