Episode 404
Fortunately, Yoo Ah-young’s words did not reach Liu Shibo.
The conference hall became noisy at the mention of Diablo’s corpse.
It was not a new situation.
This is because it has been three years since the word ‘Archduke’ was mentioned.
The gate is closed and it’s a part of the Archduke’s body?
Most people shouted in disbelief, but there were also those who were quickly embarrassed.
Kevin Lee was the president of the American Association.
Whether it was 3 years ago or now, the United States is still the world’s strongest player in terms of player power.
Even though Cody Cruz, an outstanding player, was missing, the United States was still the country with the most information about the deepest levels.
“What are the measurement results…?”
Kevin Lee asked Michael Gore, who followed as an escort, in a whisper.
“I feel a different magical power than existing monsters… I’m not sure how I got it… but it wouldn’t be surprising if it was a part of the archduke’s body.”
“….”
At that time.
“Do not incite with lies!!”
The head of the European Union stood up and shouted.
“It’s a lie. “Are you insulting me, who is here representing the country?”
“It’s only once or twice that you have told lies as if they were facts!!”
“It’s too much to do!”
“Now are you going to scam the world?!!”
Liu Shibo burst into laughter at the reaction of the conference hall.
“It’s a fraud… This doesn’t speak to the credit rating of the country.”
Chairman Liu Shibo, who was chuckling to himself, suddenly pointed at Kevin Lee.
“Association President Kevin Lee!! You, the proud one, tell me!! “Do you also think I’m lying?!!”
“….”
Kevin Lee couldn’t answer easily.
It is obvious that if you tell the truth, you will be strengthening China’s position, and if you tell a lie, it will lower the credibility of the United States.
That was what Association President Ryusbo was aiming for.
“Oh dear. I thought you would tell the truth. Was it my mistake?”
Association president Ryusbo criticized him and the United States.
Meanwhile, the president of an association somewhere asked.
“What’s in the other boxes?”
“Still, are you still curious?”
“….”
“If you’re curious, I’ll let you know.”
As Liu Shibo gestured, the other two guards opened the remaining two cubes.
There was a magic stone of a normal size and a tail of something unknown.
“Archduke Diablo is a demon. “The scientists of the great country found out that in order to bring out its true power, it must have a horn and a magicite tail.”
Liu Shibo spoke proudly, as if he were sharing important information.
Actually, no one knows that fact.
Everyone just listened quietly.
“If you have these three items, you can open the gate.”
“I, Liu Shibo, will make a proposal to the pillars of the world gathered here. If you wish, I will open the gate to the Abyss here right now.”
“…!!”
The murmur grew louder.
“However, this is not to say that we cannot be held responsible for the side effects.”
“Are you planning to test the gate in another country?!!”
The head of the Indian Players Association, who can be said to have provided the venue for this meeting, shouted.
Next to him, India’s national power player Azaruddin Ismail was glaring at Ryusbo.
This is because they do not know that he is playing a trick on them using the gate as bait.
Japan crouched down and looked for an opportunity, and Taiwan shouted that it could no longer watch the madness.
In addition, criticism continued from numerous association presidents, but Liu Shibo did not flinch in the slightest.
Rather, the reaction I expected only made me feel even more excited.
Half of the four major organizations already agree with China.
Their cries were nothing more or less than empty echoes to him.
“You are saying such stupid things!! “If you’re just going to be afraid of brakes, how about being part of our great nation and enjoying the movies?!!”
It was a clear provocation against India, with which there is currently a territorial dispute.
“Do I have to keep listening to this crazy nonsense!!”
The head of the Indian Players Association gritted his teeth and looked around.
In addition to the United States and New Korea, the presidents of several powerful countries were lost in thought with complicated expressions.
Because they want to confirm.
Is what Liu Shibo said true?
Is it really possible to open the gate leading to the Abyss by using those hideous objects?
Since they have experienced the disappearance of a player they consider powerful at the deepest level, I feel like I want to shout out to them to do it right away.
Because it was not their country, they could not hastily assert their position.
“Even if the gate is opened, aren’t all the prominent national powers gathered together? Thirty national power players from a great country are waiting there. No matter how many monsters come crawling out, I can’t be your opponent. “Are you saying you’re still scared?”
at that time.
“Association President Ryusbo. “Don’t cross the line.”
Go Tae-wook quietly opened his mouth.
Unlike Ji Jin-hee, who only represents the position of New Korea.
Koh Tae-wook is the head of a multinational association called P50.
He was not a man who acted only for his personal feelings and the interests of his country of origin.
Several association presidents sympathized with Ko Tae-wook’s apparent refusal of China’s demands.
After removing my emotions, I thought that China’s unreasonable demands were a trap.
Only then did the momentum of the Indian association president and Azaruddin Ismail calm down a little.
Kevin Lee, who had been lost in thought the whole time, opened his mouth.
“Association President Ryusbo. I am willing to negotiate with you on acceptable terms. However, if unreasonable demands are pushed forward, the United States will not sit by and watch any longer.”
The three national powerhouses who stood behind Kevin Lee.
Sarah Collins Montel Jackson Gregor Gillespie stepped forward.
Their momentum, which continued to grow and overcome human bondage, was focused on Ryusbo.
Accordingly, Liu Shibo and the guards behind the head of the Chinese Federation unleashed their magic power.
Fifteen players had to step in to offset the crushing force.
The atmosphere became hostile again.
“Isn’t this how you feel like a villain?”
This is the moment when Liu Shibo said that and nodded with a wry smile.
Keying-.
Suddenly, magical power overflowed from the three cubes.
“Stop!!”
“What is this?!”
“Are you really going to start a war?!!”
Each of the participating national power levels unleashed their magic, turning the conference room into a tense situation.
“Oh, I forgot to mention this. “The great nation decides; your opinions are not important.”
Liu Shibo nodded.
“stop!!”
Azaruddin Ismail shouted and poured out tangible magical power, but his momentum was blocked by ten players’ magical power.
In that gap, the magic power of those holding the cube resonated, creating a crack in space.
Damn. Damn it.
The magic power that was sucked into the crack formed the shape of the gate.
It was an instant.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
The large gate built at the conference hall was activated.
Azaruddin Ismail, who fired a new weapon, cut down one of the Chinese players.
One became two and two became three to block Azarudin, but as he tried to block him, he was falling down.
Only with the four of them sticking together were they able to block Azarudin’s advance.
Ji Jin-hee sat quietly and watched the current situation with a complicated expression.
“I ended up committing it.”
Yoo Ah-young, who had not said a word since entering the conference room, opened her mouth.
“I thought I would be careful with my actions if the place was India. “I guess we looked at them with too much common sense.”
Remembering that it wasn’t long ago that he had said that common sense should not be used to identify them, Park Seong-jin pulled out a small piece of spiral lacquer paper.
Those sympathizing with China, including Liu Shibo and Vincent Chang, head of the Chinese Federation, and their escorts were behind the gate.
This is because we know that there is no way to stop a gate that has already been activated.
Meanwhile, the vibration of the gate became increasingly severe.
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
It seems like the fresh air is nice after a long time.
The gate was emitting an eerie sound.
Sooooook.
A huge thorn protruded out.
Gashi targeted Azaruddin Ismail, who was in the midst of dealing with Chinese players.
This is because he is radiating deadly force and spewing out magical power.
Kyaang!!
Azaruddin Ismail used the dagger in his hand to cut off the thorn.
It was not simply the strength of magical power that came from the SSS awakening level, but the agile movements of someone who practiced Kalari Payat, an ancient Indian martial art.
“How dare a monster!!”
The conference hall vibrated with the horsepower unleashed by the National Electric Power Company.
His skill is Verum kai.
Whether the opponent is a human or a monster.
It was an ability to identify the opponent’s critical location with enhanced eyesight.
But why?
‘Why…’
Beyond the gate.
His eyes trembled gently as he looked at the vicious owner of the thorn.
It was impossible to identify vital points or even the flow of magical energy.
Distance wasn’t the problem.
That meant that the monster had a power much higher than his own.
“Nonsense… no way.”
I trembled without realizing it, feeling helpless.
It was a feeling I had never experienced since becoming a national power leader.
He gripped the dagger tightly, feeling helpless throughout his body.
at that time.
A strange hand connected to thorns protruded from the gate.
What came out was something with purple skin and a poisonous magical energy.
Azaruddin Ismail’s body stiffened just from facing that magical power.
“Azaruddin!!”
The president of the association, who was watching from afar, shouted.
“Ah…”
Azaruddin Ismail belatedly groaned.
In battles between higher-ranking species, the winner is decided in the blink of an eye.
He made a very big mistake.
That mistake would lead directly to death.
No, if you just avoid critical points, you might be able to survive using another of his skills.
Is there really a place where you can avoid fatal injuries even if you are stabbed by those vicious thorns?
That thought just passed by.
Kyaang!!
The thorns of the monster sticking out in front of my nose bounced off something.
That something is at the same level as the national power level.
It was soon after that I found out that it was the sword used by Yoo Ah-young of New Korea.
“He’s worse than he looks, isn’t he?”
Ten national power levels.
Azarudin’s face scrunched up when he heard her say that he was the strongest among them.
At least for a moment.
It’s because he feels ashamed of the fact that he almost gave up on life due to the spirit of a mere monster.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. “It’s the same with other guys.”
Only then did Azaruddin look around.
And I could tell.
“…!!”
There wasn’t just one thorn that crossed the gate in that short period of time.
Excluding himself and Yoo Ah-young, eight national power players were each marking one thorn.
“Then you…?”
Yoo Ah-young shrugged his shoulders.
Behind her, Chairman Ji Jin-hee of the Association was examining one of the cut off thorns of the monster.
Most likely, she would have cut him down with one sword.
“It would be better not to be swayed by such trivial thorns. “This is not all that will come out in the future.”
Yoo Ah-young said while glaring at the gate.
thud. thud. Cooung.
A large body came out of the gate with a vibration.
A red-eyed monster with three horns and a pair of wings.
Yoo Ah-young recalled the highest level monster he had encountered in the deepest level.
past.
The one who dragged all of New Korea’s best forces, including her, to the brink of death.
“Great devil.”
She spoke of the monster that had fully revealed itself.
Ji Jin-hee and Park Seong-jin also had stern expressions, as if they were recalling similar memories.
Liu Shibo seemed to like the atmosphere of the frozen conference hall and shouted loudly as he introduced the Archduke.
Ayoung shook her head.
That’s not the Archduke.
Nevertheless, they did not correct the misunderstanding.
“I’m curious.”
How different was Taehyun from back then?
I blurted out the afterword.
Recalling the day three years ago when she defeated Gorper, she unleashed her magic with all her might.
Tiring.
[Skill Amazoness’ Haki (SSS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Tsuzuzuzuzu.
The green magic that dominates the conference hall.
The nine national power ranks flinched.
