Episode 276
Jas Reed was very excited about returning to his hotown after a long ti.
But that also cald my pounding heart for a mont. His body control reached an extrely high level and he was able to silence even the beating of the heart.
In his cold mind, he thought about what would happen when Choi Jun-ho heads to the United States.
‘There will be chaos.’
It’s none other than Choi Jun-ho’s trip to Arica. Although he is now called the world’s strongest man, there were still many awakened people in the United States who did not recognize him.
Where is that? There was even disdain for the fact that he was from South Korea, which was once a small friendly country in Asia.
From Jas Reed’s standpoint, who believes that skill should be accepted for its own sake, I get a headache every ti I think of guys who don’t know their subject and talk nonsense.
The United States once sucked in talent from around the world like a black hole in the na of the Arican Dream. In the past, the United States, which boasted its power despite the small world, was completed in this way.
But now you’re trying to discriminate based on your origins. I could confidently say that such people do not serve the national interests of the United States.
Those bastards would probably try to test Choi Jun-ho’s power themselves, and if Choi Jun-ho had no rcy, most of them would end up in a miserable situation.
Those guys deserve to die. Until then, I thought that as many awakened people as possible should survive and help protect the country, but recently, I am thinking that it would be better for those who tackle everything to ensure smooth movent to disappear.
‘The world trend is changing.’
Not long after the plus stage monster appeared, a plus stage monster appeared.
This was much faster than the United States expected. At a point when the speed at which monsters beco stronger is faster than the speed at which awakened people beco stronger, they must beco stronger than they are now.
Adepts must unleash their secret powers generously. Jas Reed established his own theory, modified his body, and revealed his secret to the world as he reached the level of a superhuman.
I hoped other superhumans would follow suit, but they didn’t. Jas Reed knew the reason, but he felt pitiful seeing those who couldn’t look a little further ahead.
‘The person who will take the lead in that.’
Of course it is Choi Jun-ho.
Choi Jun-ho is at the center of the monster hunt that will beco increasingly stronger in the future.
With the safe passage of the oil refinery ship this ti, the world faced a huge change.
Saudi Arabia was able to exercise powerful influence in the Middle East by taking over the nightmare of the desert, and South Korea was able to take a big step toward normalizing the country by finding a supplier that could supply oil without disruption.
The Republic of Korea, which protected most of its infrastructure from monster attacks because it was closer to a city-state, gained wings thanks to the supply of oil.
If it was once an axis of Northeast Asia, it has now beco a regional power that cannot be ignored.
Definitely.
‘This is crazy.’
Jas Reed scread inwardly as he watched the plane moving forward as if there was no problem.
From Incheon to LA.
The plane was literally taking the shortest route.
It was a move that had never been thought of since the monster appeared.
Currently, the sky of Earth belongs to monsters. Flights also had to be done in a place that was not the monster’s territory, and if a new monster took up residence in the existing route, the passengers on the plane were dead.
Airplanes were likely to be classified as prey because they did not emit force waves compared to the speed at which they moved. To overco this, he tried to emit force and imitate the monster’s body odor, but all failed.
As a result, Choi Jun-ho’s airplane made every corner of the Earth a day trip.
All of this is possible because of Choi Jun-ho.
‘I hope you know how to understand your topic.’
But is that really possible?
“…Jola Jjangna.”
Jas Reed’s expression crumpled as he imagined the idiots’ heads being torn to pieces by Choi Jun-ho’s hands.
* * *
As expected, Yongyong’s claws are effective. The flight distance to the U.S. is not that easy, but it is comfortable.
[Actually, I’m going to die?]
I should be happy because I ca here comfortably thanks to your sacrifice.
Great job, our Yongyong! Cool Yongyong!
[You didn’t sacrifice anything.]
Did the great divine beast need the sacrifice of a re human? If you think that I have to sacrifice just because you sacrificed, then we are business partners, not friends.
[There’s no need to say it so harshly.]
Anyway, thanks to you, I’ve co to a good place. If I catch a thunderbird, I’ll give you at least one wing.
[Are you really going to catch it? I still don’t think it’s too much for you.]
That’s a matter to think about over ti. I also learned how strong Shinsoo is while dealing with Hyuna, so I think I need more ti to strengthen myself.
The most important thing in catching a Thunderbird is an attack that can ultimately sustain its high-speed flight.
Still, I heard that his tenacity is weak, so landing the first attack will be the key.
However, the weak tenacity here is only the standard of a divine beast, and in order to actually hit the attack, you will have to be stronger than you think.
I need to grind the slt so more. If he wants to take a vacation, he will work harder.
While I was continuing my thoughts, I arrived in LA. It took 11 hours. It was the sa ti I arrived in LA from Incheon before the monster appeared.
I said while looking at the little man standing awkwardly.
“Let’s go out.”
“huh.”
That supposedly smart guy made a bewildered look on his face.
Well, considering the effect of Divine Beast’s Claws, it’s not surprising to be surprised.
[Ahem.]
Although it was annoying to see Yongyong show off.
I got out of the plane with my friend. The exotic scenery of LA caught my eye.
They say it’s such a nice place to live, but even at first glance, the cool weather and the well-organized, endless cityscape made think that it was well prepared for monsters.
There are all kinds of people living here mixed together, right?
As I was getting off the plane, I found people coming to et . And I found a familiar face. She was called a succubus and although I don’t know much about her, she was Anna Christine, the deadliest woman in the world.
You still take good care of your beauty.
“Jun Ho!”
He ca over with a very happy expression and hugged . Looking around, there seem to be a lot of influential people, so I guess it’s a performance that shows how great he is.
It’s not that difficult to accept this much.
I responded with a light pat on the back, and Anna Christine looked at in surprise.
“What you looking at?”
“…I thought it was a lot better, but that’s not the case.”
“This is an improvent.”
“but. phew! “It’s strange that I expected so much.”
I don’t really like sighing.
* * *
My entry into the country took place informally. It may be natural that the reason I ca to Arica in the first place was to hunt Thunderbirds, and before that, to hunt League villains.
Most people probably think I’m still staying in Seoul.
The United States is good at disguising things like this.
I quietly left the airport and headed to the hotel prepared by the US governnt.
In fact, it is entirely leased by the governnt.
“so.”
I saw Anna Christine smiling brightly in front of .
“So you ca here to give a detailed explanation?”
“that’s right.”
“why?”
Anna Christine’s expression distorted at my question.
[and! amazing! The face has both artificiality and naturalness. How did they do it? This is a small universe, right?]
anwhile, Yongyong was looking around at Anna Christine and expressing admiration.
It was a very grand party. Why are we discussing the universe over just one face? I don’t know if it’s a complint or sarcasm, but either way, it ans it’s amazing.
Either way, Anna Christine said to through gritted teeth.
“When a familiar face cos and takes on a difficult task, shouldn’t you be grateful or happy?”
“Oh, thank you for that.”
“…I don’t feel any emotion, but I’ll leave it at that.”
It is said that what ca to was a briefing on the operation to be carried out in the future. What he said was beyond my expectations.
“The current situation in Arica is shit. “It’s not strange if friends who are having brunch together now beco enemies at dinner.”
It is said that the interior of the United States, where lobbying is officially legal, is currently in chaos.
Starting with the orthodox group that originally reveres Arican values, the forces that are sponsored by the party, the forces that pursue ethnic and regional values, isolationists and expansionists, etc., everything that can co out is said to be intertwined.
“The most problematic thing among them are the forces that are sponsored by the league.”
“They can also be active?”
They are people who are working to overthrow the system, but are you saying we will open our eyes and look at them?
Anna Christine nodded.
“It is a faction that split from the party from its birth.”
The governnt’s will to abolish the league was clear. The problem was how far to think about it and cut it out.
“There are too many people who blur the line between party and league. “Especially here.”
Anna Christine said the League’s influence had perated all of California, making ousting it nearly impossible.
“I don’t know why it’s difficult.”
“Of course…”
“Can’t I just keep killing them? Then, at so point, they will say that they are part of a party rather than a league.”
“….”
“After that, you can gather only those whose identities are ambiguous, monitor them, and kill them imdiately if they show any signs of being suspicious.”
I don’t think it’s a very drastic thod. When it cos to separating waste, all you have to do is separate the obvious items first and then identify the more ambiguous items.
The best way is to collect all the trash in one place and burn it.
“I can’t do it without you. That thod is right. “What Arica needs now is drastic surgical surgery, even if it ans risking bleeding.”
However, it is said that it is impossible for insiders with intertwined interests to resolve the issue.
They proudly confess that they have received a lot.
It seems like they want to take it and don’t want to follow the bill.
“I have no intention of cleaning up that ss.”
“yes. That’s asking for too much. And I heard that the reason Junho ca here was to hunt thunderbirds.”
“okay.”
“As Macho Man said, if Junho helps, we are willing to actively cooperate.”
I think this is offering a deal.
“Are you saying you’ll help as much as I do?”
“It’s not sothing like that, but I have a goal.”
“what?”
“We want to bring California back under governnt influence.”
Currently, California is full of various political forces, and it is said that the League faction has spread deep roots.
Although its influence has diminished significantly now, California once had a higher economic power than all of Africa combined and was ranked in the top 10 in the world.
It would be natural to want to place a place like this under full governnt control.
What Anna Christine wants from is to wipe out their secret branch.
Chasing soone and destroying their base is sothing I did a lot.
how will we do it.
Yes, if possible, it would be nice to co and do sothing good. The United States is a partner with whom common sense transactions are possible.
“I accept it.”
“thank you!”
Anna Christine’s expression brightened. Why are you like that?
“Did you think I would refuse?”
“It’s not that bad, but I thought it was not an easy request. “I thought it might be possible for you.”
“Is it possible.”
“…also.”
I believed it so obediently that it actually made wonder. But I wasn’t really curious, so I didn’t ask any further questions.
“So what information?”
“This part is going to be handed over to the person who will be visiting this evening.”
“Can’t you just do it yourself?”
“I am only a competent lobbyist and not a high-ranking person. “I have to understand my topic accurately to be able to enjoy this job for a long ti.”
To , it doesn’t seem like you know the topic very well.
It’s not nice to see people talk about their abilities with their own mouths.
Well, if you kill as many league villains as you see, you will be satisfied at so point.
That’s how my eting with Anna Christine ended.
I relaxed comfortably in the hotel suite and enjoyed the night view of Arica.
“That’s it.”
How different the sky is.
In any case, the contamination had decreased due to the appearance of the monster and had been purified on its own. The sky of Seoul or the sky of LA, that’s it.
smart!
“Are you a guest?”
A promise is like a sword.
When I heard a knock on the door and agreed to co in, Anna Christine ca in first. And then I recognized a 2m tall white man coming in behind .
No matter how blind I am to the world, there’s no way I wouldn’t know the people I often see when I watch political news.
But Anna Christine probably thought I didn’t know him, so she introduced to him.
“You are the President.”
It was the visit of Herbert R. Kline, the current President of the United States.
I thought a pretty high-ranking nobleman would co, but the president is visiting right away? It was unexpected.
“Nice to et you, Master Choi. “It’s an honor to et the world’s greatest superhuman.”
“It’s .”
I shook hands with the President of the United States. But the mont I shook hands, I felt a strange wave traveling through my fingertips.
It’s not that Herbert was tricking. I only recognized it because its unique wavelength seed strangely familiar.
This situation is going interestingly.
I looked at Anna Christine and said.
“Do you rember what I said? “If I keep killing league villains, I’ll get better.”
“…yes.”
My strategy is simple. If you kill and kill the supposed League Villain, he will disappear at so point.
The governnt will take care of the remaining remnants.
But I didn’t know from the beginning that Wang Geon would get it.
My eyes moved from Anna Christine to Herbert R. Klein.
“But the League Villain is here?”
Still, since he is the president, you shouldn’t slit his throat right away.
Because I need to be able to hear the whole story. First of all, I’m going to break out and ask a question.
I stretched out my hand before Anna Christine could respond.
