Chapter 753,
Chapter 185. Remaining people (3)
“Did you say it was disappearing…?”
[Yes. The bonds of marriage that make up us continue to weaken. It must be because the bust disappeared.]
[Six months if short, 1 year if long. That’s probably the limit of how long we can exist.]
Alpen and Tasha said.
For some reason, Jin narrowed his brows because his heart hurt at those words, and Ballas burst into a hearty laugh as if that wasn’t the case.
[ha ha ha! Great-grandson, being tender-hearted is like watching your father when he was a baby. Don’t worry about us disappearing. After all, aren’t people supposed to die someday? Rather, the three of us have already been dead for a long time, but since we have gained a new time, it is closer to a blessing. Just think of them as old people in the back room who are terminally ill.]
[57s. I’m not old…]
[I’m an old man in the back room. It’s an expression that doesn’t seem to be very comforting to Sogajoo.]
“I’ll see if there’s a way to increase the remaining time for the three of you.”
[Yes, yes. But don’t try too hard. Those who go must go. In any case, we will do our best to support you as long as we exist.]
“Thank you, great-grandfather.”
The existence of the previous family heads was actually a double-edged sword.
It is true that the three of them added great power to Runkandel, which was smaller than ever before, but it was because it could be attacked by other forces.
What saved the world from evil spirits was definitely a temporary alliance with Jin.
However, the place where the bust was born was also ‘Runcandel’.
There were not a few people in the world who felt uneasy about that fact.
In the meantime, since the former head of the family who were resurrected to the marriage period remains, it is an ideal condition for someone to incite Runkandel to evil.
[The only thing I’m worried about is that an outside force will bet the three of us. Perhaps the wicked and cunning Ziffle would do such a thing.]
The former heads of households were also aware of that fact.
“Did you have any symptoms while I was lying down?”
[Not yet.]
“Then it should be fine for a while. It must be because they are afraid of me that Ziffle or Kingelo are not recklessly stepping out.”
The unification of the fighting spirit and the inaction of Murakan in the Battle of the Goddess.
Of course, with Jin’s own power, he can now be called the world’s second sword, but after the dissolution of the alliance, those two things were the most checked by other forces.
Still, Jin’s personal power alone could not overwhelm the giant forces alone.
Even if there was damage from the temple, the enemies would rather be stronger than when Shiron was present.
“Perhaps the other factions, especially Ziffle, wanted to hit us as soon as the Battle of the Goddess was over. It would have been if I hadn’t seen Conflict and Murakan.”
[In other words, can you use those two powers freely? It means that you can’t confirm it, so you’re still.]
“That’s right. Of course, I can’t use those two powers at any time. Both have major limitations. The enemies are probably expecting it, but they won’t move until they’re sure.”
[What do you think would happen if Zipple hit us right now?]
“How much is Zipple’s damage?”
[It was reported that there were no deaths among the superhuman-class personnel and that more than 70% of the fleet was destroyed.]
“Then, it should be considered that there is no very large damage. All of which can be recovered over time, and perhaps the fleet is already out of production.”
Ziple had once restored a fleet of hundreds of ships in two months even while the Battle of the Chestnuts was in progress.
This meant that there were at least a few more drying fields similar to the Sota Desert.
[What do you think would happen if Zipple hit us right away?]
“There’s not much chance of us winning. Even if it survives, it will be inevitable that the family will again suffer devastating damage. How about the damage on Kingelo’s side?”
[It’s on the same level as Zipple. None of the main demons died, and many of the fleet and master finished bodies were lost.]
Jin expected Kingelo to have already started repairing the damage.
Reconstructing the fleet would not have been so difficult with the strengthened authority of Orgal and Bubar’s ability.
[If Zipple and Kingelo join forces to defeat us at this point, we’ll be defeated.]
“That’s right.”
Jin is currently in a state where he cannot use the Conflict Day again.
This was due to a lack of materials to recreate the wavelength tracking synchronizer.
You could call Murakan if you wanted, but that alone was a gamble.
If Murakan reappeared, Misha would inevitably fill his void for a while, which meant that Elona Ziple’s seal could be broken soon.
[Is there a need to bluff that you can still use the powers you used in the battle of busts?]
When Tasha said, Jin smiled and shook his head.
“I think it would be better to openly reveal the fact that it cannot be used.”
[Why?]
“Because it would be confusing. Rather, if I try to hide it too much, I will be sure, but if I reveal my weaknesses, they will be suspicious. In fact, wouldn’t it be a tactic to get the cause of the war after making the rest of the forces break the non-aggression pact while being able to call both Tushin and Murakan… like that.”
[Then, what if the enemy really bites the rice cake?]
“Even if that happens, Kingelo and Ziple cannot recklessly collude. If one side starts to move first, we just have to stretch out our hands. Besides, we have one of the most desired cards for both factions.”
Bale and Valeria.
“As far as I know, Zipline and Kingelo don’t have cards worthy enough to match the two of them. It means that if you want to ally with this city and end one side, you’d rather join hands with us. Either way.”
[Hahaha, especially unlike Zipple, Kinzelo doesn’t even have a thousand-year-old grudge against us. Also, I heard that he always showed goodwill to you.]
Of course, he really had no intention of using the two as negotiators.
They are just people who can’t help but wear out their enemies from the point of view of their enemies just by holding and shaking them slightly.
In the first place, Jin was judging that there was no possibility of an alliance between the enemies.
Rather, they judged that the only time they would form an alliance was when Runkandel became the most overwhelming force.
“However, there will be political maneuvering to turn us into an axis of evil by using the origins and the three of them. This part can’t be helped no matter how much I have secured the public’s sympathy from the time I was a reserve rider.”
[I don’t know what it was like in my 20s and 21s, but we’re a family that doesn’t really care about things like that. That’s Runkandel, a paedo who doesn’t care about the world.]
“I care, grandfather.”
[Then you are right! Because you are the owner of the cow!]
“We will also proceed with the duke. We plan to publicize the record wizard Valeria Heister to the world in earnest and disclose all records of this war to the public. It is true that the evil god born in Runkandel caused damage to the world, but I will reveal that the intentions of me and my colleagues who resolved this war were not motivated by greed to become the losers of the world.”
[At the same time, compensation for damages must be carried out.]
[Also, official documents are still pouring in, 57th.]
“It will cost a lot of money. That matter will be helped by the money and empire we have earned.”
It was something I had already discussed with Dante before the final battle.
Dante had kept the huge slush fund of the imperial family left behind by Amir Viment.
However, no matter how much money is released, it can never compensate for the emotional pain of those who have already lost their families.
The same was true of the lives of the dead.
In fact, Jin closed his eyes tightly for a moment.
Jin felt a huge responsibility towards them.
What the family had done was what Jin had done.
Even if it was caused by someone else right before Jin became Sogaju, the responsibility was entirely on Jin.
In addition to material compensation, Jin was also planning to provide a place to live.
As Hufestor was depopulated, it wanted to give its place to war refugees.
Of course, it wouldn’t be easy. Leaving aside the problem of resources, the land of Hufester has already been stained with chaos and has a history of destruction, so not many people dare to come over here.
However, when he talked about these thoughts to the former heads of households, the answer that Jin heard was completely unexpected.
[Migration immigration requests are already pouring in endlessly. Didn’t you say you care about people’s feelings? You should know at once what kind of life your great-grandson has led. Even though the world has become this way because of the evil spirit born in the family, there are many refugees who come looking only for you.]
“…Really? Great-grandfather.”
[okay. We said that we had never noticed the world, but in fact, this great-grandfather saw and felt many things.]
In the words of Runkandel, who only pursued power, the evil spirit showed it.
Jin’s Runcandel will be very different from him.
[Since you were unconscious, everyone withheld permission. I guess I can tell the riders to accept it immediately.]
Jin was silent for a moment thinking about their appearance.
Because of this incident, it was clear that Runkandel was a family that took away more than it did to ordinary people.
Still, people are coming to lean on ‘Gin Runkandel’.
In this unstable era, when war clouds began to roll around as soon as the Battle of the Goddess ended, Jin was becoming a beacon for many people.
Jin is different from the others.
It is different from the heads of other great powers and different from other powers. If he is, he can surely lead this world to a better look.
There were many people who recognized Jin that way as much as the people who felt repulsed by Runkandel.
“yes. We need to get a report from our riders and make a statement to the world.”
[After that?]
Jin replied with a grin.
“I’ll have to look at the progress of the enemies, rescue the remaining riders, and find and restore the family’s old butler.”
