< Hell and Blessings (1) >
With that, the connection with the alter ego was completely cut off.
“…omg!”
Feeling disconnected, Sang-woo regained consciousness.
He currently resides in Miami, USA.
It was a long way from New York.
It was to meet Bless.
‘What was that?’
A shock that struck the alter ego with light.
And in an instant, he was reverse summoned.
‘Can I reverse summon my alter ego in one shot?’
Is such an attack possible?
A question came to mind.
But doubt for a while.
“What!”
Bless, who was in front of Sang-woo, shouted.
He was just listening to Sang-woo’s proposal.
However, I was taken aback by the sudden and unexpected shaking.
Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gug-
The coffee shop building they were in shook with a huge shock.
“earthquake?”
The concrete walls swayed as if they were about to collapse.
And a violently vibrating floor.
In the shaking gap, Sang-woo was suddenly thrown off the floor by the tremendous shock transmitted through the ground.
Bless also jumped into the air.
“Hut.”
A tingling vibration penetrating the whole body.
A sensation spread through his entire body, as if metal were vibrating against each other.
It bounced because of this strange power.
and.
What would be the result if a person’s body was blown out of the ground by an impact?
Naturally, the entire building built on the ground also bounced off and began to collapse.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-!!!
The ceiling of the coffee shop collapsed.
Glass windows were blown out, and Sang-woo moved while building debris and glass fragments scattered.
‘Avoid!’
An earthquake of this magnitude would put the whole city at risk.
Sang-woo immediately opened the subspace and took Bless’s hand.
“Uh uh uh…?”
Sang-woo throws the embarrassed Bless into the sub-space.
At the same time, I ran toward the clerks and cooks in the coffee shop.
fault!
Sang-woo, who scanned the coffee shop at a speed close to teleportation, escaped the building with them.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung-
A building that is completely collapsing.
Fortunately, they were able to save their lives.
However, the city of Miami that Sang-woo looked at in seconds was completely in chaos.
Cars and palm trees flying through the air.
Surprise and bewilderment flashed in their eyes.
It seems like you didn’t expect what happened right now.
Watching them fly through the air as if in zero gravity, Sang-woo anticipated what would happen next.
‘I’ll probably fall off and die. But… I can’t save them all.’
How can we save the citizens who could be tens of millions in this place alone?
In addition, reports of unusual matters were in full swing from the alter egos who were currently entrusted with protecting the family.
‘My house is in danger!’
All reports said that they were evacuated due to the danger caused by the earthquake.
Sang-woo could not delay.
Because family comes first.
He immediately put the clerks down in the middle of the empty lot and jumped into the subspace.
At the same time, I focused my attention on the alter egos of the guards in the Yongsan mansion in Seoul.
The view of the mansion entered through the eyes of the alter ego.
‘thank god.’
The sight that came into the clone’s eyes was looking at the mansion from above.
Yes.
The alter egos were already flying in the air to escape the influence of the earthquake.
Mom, Dad, younger sister, and Woohyun with them.
There was a mixture of surprise and bewilderment in their eyes.
‘For now, to subspace!’
He gave orders to the clones.
Then, the alter egos flying in the air opened the subspace and let the family safely in.
Sang-woo succeeds in protecting his family, who is his top priority.
Then the acquaintances around me came to mind.
‘CEO!’
Kang Jun-mo, his manager and companion.
He was at the warehouse to manage the jewels he was wearing.
Sang-woo immediately ordered the alter ego inhaling the jewel in the warehouse.
‘Bring the CEO to sub-space!’
After the order was over, Kang Joon-mo was also safe.
Sangwoo flew through the air and looked everywhere.
The whole city, or even the whole country, was in a state of being affected by this strange shaking earthquake.
Looking at the wreckage of buildings, cars, and people bouncing into the air in the slow-flowing time due to extreme concentration, Sang-woo thought.
‘…is it hell.’
Is the sky angry?
What an unbelievable natural disaster.
The earthquake felt in the United States also occurred in Korea.
Looking at the sight of the alter ego blocking the undead in the Middle East, the situation there was also the same.
The giant frost giant’s body didn’t bounce off, but it cracked in the aftermath of the vibration, and most monsters and undead hunters were all flying in the air.
It’s been a while since the buildings are all crumbling.
Of course, Leogardo, who has the title of the strongest man on earth, was running rampant regardless of this.
‘I don’t know what’s going on, but…’
Right now, lifesaving comes first.
Sang-woo gave orders to his clones in bulk.
‘Save the people!’
I hope we can save at least one more person.
In a world that has turned into hell, Sang-woo prayed in a matter of seconds.

[Emergency occurred.]
[The number of system users has plummeted.]
River, who had been concentrating on his alter ego for a while, opened his eyes.
“… what’s going on?”
[Understanding the cause…]
[Earth Great Britain caused an earthquake that caused an earthquake across the globe.] [
28.1% of system users from Earth died.]
[Death due to many users suffering serious bodily injuries. The number is expected to increase further.]
“An explosion?”
River’s expressionless complexion hardened after a long time.
He lightly closed his eyes.
Then strange lights appeared in his image.
In it, River floated a statue following the flow of light.
[Accessing the Akashic Records.]
A system message pops up at the same time.
River focused his consciousness.
Akashic Records.
It was the aggregate of all the data flowing in the universe.
Where humans have stayed, traces of DNA, such as fingerprints and keratin, remain.
Like these humans, all living and non-living things in nature have left traces in the universe.
Whether it be waves, thoughts, or energy.
And River was a ‘genius’ who interpreted the Akashic Records to be readable by humans and implemented them so that they could be handled as a system.
-Retrieve data on explosions that occurred in the UK.
[Search is in progress.]
[Data has been searched.]
-Open.
As soon as he finished his words, a scene unfolded in his mind.
old-fashioned castle.
A bizarre dragon floating there.
Jeong Sang-woo near the dragon.
And even the white male underneath.
‘…Jermaine.’
River already knew him.
no i couldn’t know
Because I participated in the Rainbow Project with him.
And all the information he had had already flowed into River through the Akashic Records.
‘It’s a symbol of greed… The name is ridiculous.’
River laughed at the symbol of greed among his abilities.
Information floating in the system.
This was merely translating and sending the data of the Akashic Records to suit humans.
In other words, in the process of translation, there were many cases where the meaning contained in it could not be properly translated.
It was also a symbol of greed.
The system was created by Reaver, but it was difficult for humans to express and define everything in the infinite universe with human language.
‘But isn’t that important?’
River, who smiled wryly at the face of his old friend, replayed the scene.
At the same time, the light bursting out.
In that split second, River understood exactly what had happened.
‘…It must have been Lucas.’
Surprisingly, the explosion was caused by Lucas.
Exactly, the hole in the subspace created next to Master no Germain.
From there, a giant weight came out at near-light speed and struck Jermaine.
The overwhelming physical force caused an explosion as if a supergiant comet hit the earth.
‘I never thought he would have prepared something like that.’
River nodded at Lucas’ trump card.
All the data flowed into his head as to how he carried out that attack.
Lucas approaches River after returning.
He came to Reaver while he was still in the Empire of Urencia.
Then, surprisingly, he confided the truth to River.
In addition, Lucas said he would help River and immediately used the knowledge of regression to create the title of world number 1 hunter.
with an impressive career.
And based on its reputation, it acquired and merged companies that were growing into world-class companies one by one, creating the world’s No. 1 company.
With that wealth, Lucas started the Awoken Program.
Using this, Reaver built a system so that he could easily obtain mana not only from the Urencia Empire but also from billions of people on Earth.
But was that all?
It wasn’t.
Based on his overwhelming wealth, Lucas dabbled in several high-tech industries, one of which was the space industry.
Why was he so passionate about the space industry?
‘It was for that attack.’
Yes.
It was for the attack that blew away Germaine, or England.
The principle was simple.
Launch a huge experimental station into Earth’s satellite orbit.
After that, a huge circular passage is created there.
And what if you install a teleportation magic circle on both sides of the passage and push the pendulum in the direction of the earth’s gravity?
The pendulum moves under the influence of gravity, passes through a circular passage, and passes through a teleportation magic circle.
And the pendulum that passed the teleportation magic circle returns to the end of the circular passage again and moves through the circular passage again according to gravity.
What if it repeats countless times or infinitely?
What if you constantly accumulate physical energy with the force of gravity?
‘That kind of weapon is not created.’
The flowing water melts even hard rocks.
Even more so, gravity continued to accumulate in the huge pendulum.
It was clear that the physical energy would be strong enough to split the earth.
‘Awesome. Lucas.’
Leaving aside the loss of system users, River admired Lucas’ idea.
Perhaps the reason the earth didn’t split was because the gravity weight hit Germain horizontally, not vertically.
Of course, the aftermath alone has now blown England and caused a major earthquake across the globe.
‘Still, this judgment was foolish. Lucas.’
Because I almost lost my precious ‘Mana Farm’.
River opened his eyes.
Now that you know the situation, it’s time to make amends.
His eyes flashed.
“Save the injured and resurrect all the 1st Awakeners who have just died.”
[Bless all system users on Earth.]
[22% of retained mana is used. Do you want to execute?]
“Execute.”
[Command received.]
[Execute.]
* * *
The earth was in an abusive state.
All infrastructure, including buildings and electricity and water, collapsed.
All telecom repeaters based on electricity are dead.
In the case of the mana communication repeater implemented with mana engineering, the communication worked, but the broadcasting station and the press did not function properly.
Most of the journalists are also dead.
“Please save me!”
“Yerin! Yerin is black. Has anyone seen my daughter!”
“mom! Where is mom!”
“There is someone down here! Help me!”
“Giant rat! run away!”
Dead bodies overflowed everywhere, and a monster break arose from the portal where the guardhouse collapsed and roamed the city.
Hunters and awakeners who were able to survive because of their strong bodies rushed around to rescue such survivors and catch monsters.
It was then.
Remnants of urban buildings scattered in the middle of Seoul.
The wreckage exploded.
And a bizarre and gigantic monster revealed. The
guy
‘s mouth opened and saw jagged teeth.
“…Oh ogre!”
“Oooh! Run away! Cuckoo…”
The ogre threw building debris at the screaming human.
A man bumped into the wreckage and was thrown and crushed as if he had been in a car accident.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
“Aaaaaaaaagh!”
The survivors, who were working hard in the middle of the rescue, cried out when they saw such a devastation.
And he turned his back and started to run away.
Then, in the opposite direction to them, there was a man who was heading toward the ogre.
