Episode 524
“Everyone get out.”
Following Chairman Mao’s order, the SSS-level player who was said to be in the thick of the game immediately left the room.
Now that the dimensions have been unified, the orders of the Players Association President are absolute.
The situation has changed a lot compared to the time when the political and capital administrative system was strangling the association.
Since the fate of the president and party officials depends on him, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he holds the fate of the great nation in his hands.
That is why the strongest players in large countries show absolute loyalty.
He usually felt joy every time he gave an order.
At this moment, my embarrassment was greater than my joy.
“Namgoong Sohwi suffered….”
He said out loud a result he could not have imagined.
A two-dimensional gate that opened shortly after becoming the president of the association.
The martial arts people who came through the gate were truly brutal.
He used a form of power called ‘Gongryeok’ and showed a mysterious movement called ‘Mugong’.
They were difficult to deal with unless you were an S-rank player in a major country.
That was just the beginning.
As the climax reached its peak, the situation changed drastically.
Not only SS grade players, but also all SSS grade players who were waiting were deployed.
If the great power had not resisted by pushing forward with overwhelming numbers, the association would have fallen that day.
When there was a lull, a man who called himself a member of the Zhuge family proposed negotiations.
Poor Chinese.
Still, the intention was clear.
He said he lost too much blood for no reason due to the sudden dimensional connection.
It was suggested that through dialogue, we should find an agreement that would provide mutual benefits.
It was unpleasant.
It was an unwilling proposal.
If a great power that took the position of Mercury accepted the conditions without seeing a winner, it would be the same as admitting defeat.
However, that thought changed as several more peak masters representing Moorim came over.
On average, beings with the power of two or more SSS-level players.
Unless it was the special case of Yoo Ah-young, it was decided that it would be impossible to deal with So Ga-ju one-on-one.
The analysis of the power of the major powers was quick, and negotiations also progressed quickly.
In the end, it was the right choice.
This is because it was confirmed that the United States also joined hands with otherworldly people called the Empire around the same time.
I thought I was chosen by God.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to complete the task of world unification on your own.
From then on, Mao did his best to gain the support of the Wulin people.
It was discovered that the number of martial people who could pass through a dimensional gate that did not extend beyond a certain limit was limited.
For some reason, it was impossible for Earthlings to move to the martial arts world.
Looking at recent history, one-sided exchanges lead to destruction.
Because of this, after consultation, they decided on Sega, which symbolizes Moorim.
Among them, only the small households requested to come over.
Instead, they promised sufficient compensation and treatment.
Likewise, the United States also adopted a similar strategy.
From then on, the fighting began in each camp.
The warriors of the Empire and the Murim roamed all over the Earth, and a two-power system was established.
But just a little while ago.
The small households of the Murim family that made the current system possible.
We received reports that three of them were injured.
The problem is that it includes Nangong Sohwi, who is considered the strongest among the Soga owners.
I thought that Mo Yong Hak and party administration might not be enough.
However, it is not Namgung Sohwi.
No matter how much he let down his guard.
“We won’t be able to stop him without Yoo Ah-young.”
Yoo Ah-young became a cripple who could not be rehabilitated without the help of the saint.
Now that the saint is absent, it is impossible to recover from such wounds through regenerative treatment.
Because he knew that, he used her as bait.
“Perhaps Ji Ji-hee’s level was higher than we thought…”
No.
That’s not it either.
A body scan was carried out during his visit recently under the bait of a meeting.
Ji Jin-hee was clearly one of the strongest men in the world, but she was not strong enough to take on two Sogajus.
It is natural that he cannot be a match for Namgung So-hwi.
“I don’t understand.”
He doesn’t like situations he doesn’t understand.
However.
Smirk.
The corners of Chairman Mao’s mouth rose.
“It doesn’t feel bad.”
The bewildered face of Zhuge Xuan, who was listening to the reports of the small households along with him, was vivid.
A man who always smiled and looked relaxed as if he had the upper hand.
It was another pleasure to see his gaps.
“Is it that good?”
“…!!”
Chairman Mao jumped up from his seat at the sudden voice.
A gate opened at the end of the spacious association president’s office.
There was someone walking out of there.
Chairman Mao bowed his head respectfully.
“Are you here?”
Chairman Mao went around the desk and stood forward, and a man sat down in the chairman’s seat.
It was a natural movement for each other, as if it was supposed to be that way.
“okay. “The So family head of the Namgung family has died?”
The man asked in fluent Chinese.
“That’s right. ‘Absolute One.’”
The Chairman of the Mao Association is the man in front of him.
He praised Min Ji-hong and bowed his head even more deeply.
“I should have told you to stop using such unfamiliar names. “It would be better to be called Mine.”
“How can you say such a thing… Please allow this humble body to serve the Absolute One.”
Min Ji-hong burst out laughing at Chairman Mao’s excessive loyalty.
“That dual attitude toward the weak and the strong still persists.”
“….”
“But I don’t hate that. “It’s a world where the law of the jungle is the same wherever you go.”
Chairman Mao repeatedly bowed his head at Min Ji-hong’s words.
Unlike when dealing with Zhuge Xuan, there was no shame.
A gate has been created that connects to the martial arts world, and it is the only way to access it.
We know that Ilshin’s strength is nothing compared to world number one Yoo Ah-young.
He is not an ordinary demon, but the hope of China and an omnipotent being who will place him on the throne.
As long as he is behind him, it is no different from gaining a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.
“Namgoong Sohwi. Did Ji Jin-hee deal with that rude guy?”
“Nothing has been determined in detail yet… but for now, we are speculating various cases such as runaway or coordinated attack. sorry.”
Contrary to his words of apology, Chairman Mao’s face straightened.
‘The Absolute One seems to be in a good mood.’
I know the relationship between him and the president of the association, Ji Jin-hee, during the Mine days.
He did not dislike the information that Ji Jin-hee had dealt with the supreme master of martial arts.
“It’s truly an inspiration. “There is something worth keeping alive.”
Tuk. Tuk.
Min Ji-hong tapped the desk with his index finger.
I was willing.
Events taking place through the gate you opened.
The reason New Korea players, including Kwon Kang-hyuk, were kept alive in the past was to maintain balance with the other world.
If the martial arts people suddenly invade, their position will become ambiguous.
‘5 years. It wasn’t a short period of time.’
From the moment he became an anti-aircraft contractor, his spirit clearly surpassed that of mortals.
A body that does not age.
I gained regenerative powers similar to immortality.
The reason I didn’t come to the front was to recover the power I used to open the gate and to adapt to the rising power of existence.
It wasn’t boring.
It was enough fun just to watch the people who thought they were up to something fighting and deciding who was superior.
‘If you think about it, isn’t the title Absolute also wrong?’
Even though I no longer belong to the shackles of Mine.
A vulgar laugh that could not be corrected leaked out.
“Absolute One…?”
“Ah… a very pleasant thought came to mind.”
Min Ji-hong covered up her smile.
I thought back to when I first came to Earth.
It was downgraded and all sorts of restrictions followed.
It’s different now.
If the Earth’s existence rises just a little more, it will be possible to reach the level of divine power that Cody Cruz showed in Abyss.
His essence is Mine.
Mine does not forget the humiliation.
‘I will take revenge.’
Cody Cruz, who made him his subordinate, and Kim Tae-hyun, who trampled on him.
If you carry out Cody Cruz’s orders, a great deal of blood will flow on the Earth, and as your existence becomes stronger, you will also gain power worthy of the Grand Duke.
It was time to get revenge on Cody Cruz and Taehyun Kim.
“Along with the news from Sogaju, there was a request for a meeting from New Korea.”
“It must be a trap.”
“…I guess so. So, first of all, we dispatched a delegation made up of players from our country…”
“No, there is no need to do that, just build the strongest force.”
“…yes?”
“You open the master bedroom. “Isn’t it a good opportunity?”
“….”
“In order to expand the gate, the planet’s presence must increase. “There is nothing better than the clash of peak masters.”
“If you do it…”
“If you’re going to compete, it would be better if it’s bigger. Add this body to the mission as well. “Spread information to the U.S. as well.”
“My name. “I will follow.”
With those words, Mao, who could be said to be the owner of the room, left the association president’s office.
It’s because I think I’ll get tired of the pressure if I face it any longer.
Min Ji-hong watched this in amusement.
“Kasim Zort. “I guess I’ll have to try and get in touch with him after a long time.”
It’s been 5 years since each of them opened the gate connected to the martial arts and the empire and went into hiding.
I smiled as I thought about how much stronger that monster had become.
“Lee Jeong-jae… I need to bring him out soon.”
Unlike Liu Shibo, who was killed by Yoo Ah-young, it was necessary to use someone who was imprisoned in New Korea to open the third dimensional gate.
If the current trend continues, when the three dimensions are integrated.
“A new grand duke will be born.”
That day.
It was going to be a countdown to the deaths of Cody Cruise and Taehyun Kim.
* * *
“Could it be… that New Korea was hiding its military power?…”
Kevin Lee said with a stern expression.
It was reported that Gregor Gillespie, who had been sent to capture Lim Ah-young and Park Seong-jin, had died.
Is that all?
It was confirmed that the powerful members of the empire who were working together were also killed or captured.
It was a result that could not have occurred with the new Korea and external power they understood.
“A request for a meeting has been received from Association President Ji Jin-hee.”
“This is a reversal of positions.”
Kevin Lee clicked his tongue at Michael Gore’s words.
“Not long ago, a huge magic wave was detected at the headquarters of the New Korea Players Association. “It’s clearly a trap.”
“Of course you threw in some seductive bait, right?”
“Yes… I intend to allow the survey depending on the results of the meeting, so I requested that wizards and warriors of 8 stars or higher from the empire be brought in. “It seems like the same message was sent to China as well.”
“Has Ji Jin-hee finally gone crazy?…”
Concentrating the best forces of the United States and China at the association headquarters.
The goal is to create a situation in which it would not be surprising if war broke out.
“Are we confident that we can dominate even if we have different feelings… Is this just a bluff?…”
“There’s nothing wrong with accepting it either way.”
“Then we need to be fully prepared here too.”
“Are you planning on taking ‘that guy’ too?”
“okay.”
Kassim Zort.
The person who opened the gate connecting the Empire and the United States.
Along with China’s Min Ji-hong, he is the only one on Earth who can cross the gate.
“We, the United States, should be the ones to open the third dimensional gate to New Korea.”
The United States is called the world police and pursues justice.
That was why they joined hands with the former Mine.
* * *
New Korea’s intensive care unit.
Jaejun Lee reported the general situation and left.
This is when Ji Jin-hee feels a new power flowing through her body.
“You suit the magic stone better than I thought.”
A man who came in unexpectedly said hello.
“…Taehyun-kun!!”
Come on.
He hugged Taehyun, who was neatly dressed.
“Forgive me for being late.”
“Don’t say that.”
There was a brief chat.
and.
“The meeting… you said you decided to hold the meeting here?”
“Yes, sorry, but I borrowed the name of the association president.”
“Are you confident…?”
“Do you have anything to call yourself?”
It’s just trash cleaning.
Taehyun smiled the same way as before.
I miss that sight so much.
Tears flowed from Ji Jin-hee’s eyes.
