#1

  The Martial Arts House welcomed an unexpected guest. Considering this person’s position and status, this kind of hasty movement was very surprising. Of course, who he was visiting was not an average by any means.

  No, he was not even considered a human.

  He was the absolute man who had reached the extreme of human potential, who alone had proved that man could have the power of God.

  Therefore, those who welcomed him treated him with no surprise.

  “I’m Jaehwang.”


  “I am Samuel Lin.” Samuel Lin looked at the man sitting comfortably across from him.

  His first impression of him was chill. He was dressed in light cotton pants and a shirt, and he felt like he was sitting on a sofa in an ordinary home. The money that he had was so meaningless that he does not remember how many mansions he owned. His own wealth was not comparable.

  “As expected,” Jaehwang said randomly. He shook his head with a bitter smile and took his cup of green tea on the table.

  “Excuse me?”


  “I already know why you are.”


  “How do you ……” He hasn’t opened his mouth yet, but he already knows.

  The archer uttered a word against Samuel Lin, who couldn’t believe it. “Dark Hall, Opposition, Summoning…… Warn you if there is a disadvantage, right?”


  “Krrrrr.” Samuel Lin, trying to drink his own coffee, hurriedly dropped the cup and coughed hard. He felt naked at that moment.

  “How did you know?”


  “If you keep repeating it to yourself inside, I can hear it even if I don’t want to.” As Jaehwang pounded his ear, Samuel Lin’s face turned pale.

  And he quickly lifted his hidden power. But……

  “You’re an unknown eight-star hunter. You better not trust three mental defense artifacts too much. ”


  “!!”


  No surprises here, he looked at Samuel’s head like it was split open.

  He hurried to empty his head. He was almost ashamed of himself, imagining these things while he was probably living at the point in human civilization’s most critical point that all depended on this one man.

  “You’re a Teletubby generation, what’s so attractive about Forbi?

  *Samuel grunts*

  Samuel Lin was no longer surprised. Even the most powerful mental awakeners could not look into this much detail about their opponents. His flimsy thoughts were mixed with the purpose of testing how far he could look into his mind. The result of the test was…… He was not even human.

  “It’s fun, the dark hall…… ”


  “Yeah. they……” Samuel Lin said in a hurry, looking around as a habit.

  In fact, he did not intend to talk about them so much, however, the situation had turned unexpectedly.

  “You don’t have to worry.”


  “Sorry. It’s not that I do not believe in you. ” Samuel Lin coughed out the earphones he had plugged into his ear and swapped them for another. Then, he looked at the earphones in his hand and opened his mouth.

  “Do you know the secret about this?”


  “No.” Jaehwang shook his head.

  Samuel Lin’s earphones were designed for Hunters.

  It was an essential item among the hunters. It had a translation function, but the Hunters who use the same language must wear it too. It was necessary to clearly understand the leader’s order in the noise of battle. It was an indispensable item in a raid. In addition, it had functions that enabled the full communication with the raid supporters, the location finder, along with a few functions such as recording and music.

  “Very comfortable. It’s a must for hunters.”


  Samuel Lin broke the earphone in two. It’s packed with lots of stuff in the tiny device.

  “It’s the most damaged thing during a raid, but it’s cheap for what it offers, so it’s also used by the general public.”


  Crackle ……

  Samuel Lin pulled a very small chip out of them.

  “But people don’t know it exists.”


  “What is it?”


  “Storage. It stores all the conversations that a Hunter has.”


  “Is it not its original feature?”


  “It’s a different one. This one was unknown. Since it was damaged so often they come in for repairs on a daily basis, these chips are all collected at headquarters.”


  “Is that so.”


  It’s like an urban legend, but a more shocking fact came next.

  “And level five or more Hunters’ chips are specially managed. We gather all the conversations they talk about every day, mine data with big data, and extract the information. ”


  If Samuel Lin’s words were true, it was quite shocking. In addition, this fact was not known even at the Martial Arts House. The entire support team would be laid off for not finding out about this kind of feature in the Master Archer’s earphones.

  But Jaehwang spoke calmly. “That’s interesting.”


  “Yeah. The companies that produce this stuff don’t even know what it’s for. The supplier of this chip was one of the owners of the Dark Hole.”


  Samuel Lin paused to speak and took a sip of his coffee.

  “But they are not enemies.”


  “You are asking me to go to that dark hole.”


  “Yeah.” Samuel Lin, who expressed his affirmation, quietly took his coffee.

  Samuel Lin was not on anyone’s side, but he knows one thing. He should not take Jaehwang’s words lightly. That’s why he came to Korea so hastily, to persuade him in person.

  “I understand.”


  “Thank you.”


  “But their words are unacceptable.”


  In his words, the atmosphere in the visitor room became cold.

  Samuel Lin spoke in a sober tone. “Please reconsider. If you stand up against them, our World Hunter Office will not be able to help you. No, you’ll be an enemy with the World Hunter Secretariat. ”


  “Do you want to go against me?”


  “Never, but the World Hunter Secretariat cannot be an enemy to the other side. So, no matter what I think, the World Hunter Secretariat will be your enemy. No, not just the World Hunter Office. Everything that you have never thought of will attack you,” he spoke as earnestly as he could to persuade Jaehwang.

  Jaehwang was not a man to be made an enemy, and it was not because of his power.

  There was a symbolism he had. If the thing he warned of actually happens, he will be the only central point of reference in human civilization. The other side, although it would take time, he was confident that he could convince them.

  “I know what you think. But now is not the time to argue with them. ”


  “If you don’t persuade them, you’ll go a long way.”


  This was a warning.

  No matter how strong Jaehwang was, the opponents were the ones who tuned the flow in human history. Their ultimate goal was to maintain their power through the eternal survival of human civilization.

  “It’s fun.”


  But Jaehwang was stubborn.

  “Tell them. Do whatever you want to do……”


  #2

  After Samuel Lin went back, their answers came back quite quickly.

  [Somalia has launched a unified government after a long civil war. In addition, Somalia’s warlords, who have been split for decades, are now united in Somalia through a dramatic settlement. The United Nations and other countries have pledged their support to Somalia with their positive message on……]

  [This has led to the fact that there has been a great deal of consolidation and reorganization of Hunter troops in Somalia……]

  [The World Hunters Secretariat has announced the idea of ??a global super-elite hunter group that will break the old tier-based monster raid system. The announcement was made in the US……]

  [In today’s announcement by Japan’s deputy minister, Takeda Okada, Japan’s delegation to reform the aging system of the existing mana stone market at a meeting of 20 OECD countries……]

  Events that even by one would take headliners of all press flooded continuously.

  “The attack has begun.”


  “It’s pretty fast.”


  Jaehwang thought that he would have time for a week but in just three days, Jaehwang’s foundations were being attacked. In Somalia alone, there were rumors that the hunters who poured in their capital, which had been contracted with Invincible, might separate and be included in the Somali Hunter Secretariat.

  The Somali government was demanding a decision from Jaehwang for the United Somalia. Since it was dangerous to put the foreign forces involved in the country, an official letter had been sent in words of formal robbery, including a raid word that includes efficient use of power and appeasement to release them to strengthen Somalia’s power.

  It was the patriotism of the people that wrapped it up but in reality, there was not much patriotism from the Somali. What patriotism do you want from them that have been torn for more than a hundred years? Of course, some were upset, but most were conflicting because their families and economic base were in Somalia, not because of patriotism.

  There will be no immediate impact on the global super-elite hunters who will raid the tier 9 monsters or the restructuring of the mana stone market, but they would grow as a threat to the status of Jaehwang.

  However, Jaehwang and Irumi, who were listening to the news, did not look very startled.

  Irumi’s expression was rather bright. The reason was simple, Jaehwang no longer had to hold the reins.

  They seem to think Jaehwang was against their power. Of course, they would have to do that to acknowledge his power. If they underestimated him, they would have attempted to kill them already. But there was something they did not know. What power Jaehwang was hiding …… and how cruel he could be. They were ignorant of what would happen the moment Jaehwang released his reins.

  “Director Irumi”


  “Yeah.”


  “I allow you to do what has been postponed.”


  “Thank you.” At his request, Irumi replied with thanks.

  It was Irumi who was like his alter ego, and the attack on Jaehwang was like attacking the god she serves. It was an immoral thing that should not exist and should not be tried. And now, her god’s permission fell. It was the permission to bring punishment on them.

  “Would you like to take a break?” Irumi said, and Jaehwang smiled.

  Jaehwang had been living on a fairly tight schedule. There were very few events in which Jaehwang did not participate, including the usual 9-tier monster raids, monster waves that occur around the world, and the new gate stabilization.

  He was thankful for the vacation.

  “It’s been a long time.”


  “Maybe the attack will get even stronger. It’s inevitable that your divinity will be hit. ”


  Irumi was careful to say this because she knew the root of Jaehwang’s power who became a divine being. But, Jaehwang replied as if it was no big deal.

  “You don’t have to worry about it at all.”


  It’s not just words. In fact, his godlike status was already saturated.

  There was a definite threshold that could be tolerated because it was still a step in the human realm, and that threshold had been met long ago. In the end, even if half of his divinity falls, it would not be a blow to him.

  “Okay.” Irumi’s eyes shone wildly. The owner’s permission has also dropped, so there was nothing to hold back.
