Episode 295
“I heard sothing from the Thunderbird that I couldn’t ignore.”
[What?]
“They say I can be resurrected again.”
I definitely twisted his neck. I confird that my neck was rotated 360 degrees. Not only that, he took out the heart and even stole the essence of the divine beast.
The source of life and power has been taken away, but can it be resurrected? It was an unbelievable statent, but since the subject was a divine beast, I thought it might be so.
It was my first ti killing a Shinsu.
Sure enough, Yongyong looked shocked upon hearing what I said.
You’re reacting as if you’ve hit the nail on the head.
[Oh, that? Umm, how should I explain this?]
“Tell first whether it is possible to be resurrected.”
[To conclude, resurrection is possible.]
It was never a good story.
[But it will take a long ti to revive, right?]
“How much?”
[Probably your grandson’s grandson’s grandson’s grandson won’t be resurrected until he sees his great-grandson.]
“Then it’s a aningless story.”
In fact, it was a resurrection. He shouted so viciously that I wondered if he had a hidden trick, but it turned out to be . The worry that had been blooming in the back of my mind disappeared.
“I didn’t know that resurrection was possible.”
[It is possible. If you do that, you won’t be able to use your full power. The thunderbird probably left behind only a small seed. So, it will take a long ti to be resurrected, and it will take even longer to regain strength.]
He said that by then, humanity may have beco extinct or left the Earth.
[And neither I nor HyunA are willing to just
sit back and watch.] “You made get rid of it, and now you’re saying sothing like that?”
[You know it because you’ve dealt with it too. If you deal with each other, it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath, right? Probably all the other divine beasts will co and stop us or target us.]
The divine beasts were like a kind of nucleus. If they collided with each other, it would affect the entire Earth, so the divine beasts tended to refrain from clashing with each other as much as possible.
It may seem like I’m overly self-conscious, but it’s also true.
Although the place where Thunderbird and I collided was also a mountainous area, the terrain changed to a hill imdiately after the confrontation.
Normally, all the surprised monsters would run out, but the Thunderbird doesn’t have a hobby of placing monsters around, so there won’t be much of a problem.
[So did you gain the power of the Thunderbird?]
Yongyong must have been curious about that.
Since I had no intention of hiding anything, I obediently agreed.
“okay.”
[Can I use that? If it were the power of a divine beast, it would be difficult for a human body to handle it.]
As expected, Yongyong knew.
“Already most of the body was broken. “The human body cannot withstand it.”
[As expected.]
“Is there no way to overco it?”
[It’s an ability originally tailored to Shinsoo. It is not suitable for human use.]
“Is there no way?”
[I guess I have no choice but to reconstruct my body?]
Does that an I also have to beco like a divine beast?
This is ridiculous.
Since I was silent, Yongyong spoke cautiously.
[Isn’t it better to just throw it away?]
“Why ?”
[Are you really going to use it? Because it’s hard on your body. It’ll hurt!]
“That’s why I gained super regeneration. Now I have to find a body-related gift that can stand up to the gift.”
If there were no awakened people, they were planning to search for them through monsters. It will be a tedious process, but as it is a gift that can eliminate the limitations of distance, supplentation is not an option but a necessity.
[It’s really amazing. Normally, you would think it was an inedible persimmon.]
“It would be the opposite. “He probably took on the challenge even though he knew he would die.”
[Well, those are the strengths and weaknesses of the human animal.]
Reckless challenges made humans what they are today, and sotis people with infinite potential disappeared in vain.
It doesn’t matter because it’s not anyway.
And if that infinite possibility is a villain, we must nip it in the bud.
Still, it’s better if you get crushed because you can survive. You can definitely get rid of it by digging out the roots.
[So how did you do it?]
“What?”
[essence. Are you saying that the reason I can co here is because you controlled it?]
He is such a persistent guy. Yongyong had no intention of backing down until I answered that question.
It’s not really a matter to keep secret, so why are you so curious?
“I killed his spirit and put him under my control.”
[You yourself?]
“Huh, why?”
[Wow…]
Yongyong looked more surprised than ever. I have no idea where the surprising point is.
[That’s huge. You have now brought under control the source of the power of the Shinsu! This ans that your control over the Force has surpassed human limits and reached our level!]
I don’t know how amazing that is.
I just stepped on sothing that was climbing, so why make such a fuss?
Yongyong suddenly hovered around and started rustling.
I feel like the mood towards has changed.
[Is there anything you’re upset about?]
There are so many that it’s hard to list them all.
Yongyong flinched.
[why not. I helped you a lot by being by my side.]
Soone else might think that way.
However, seeing Yongyong do this made realize that I had reached a level where I was a threat to Shinsoo.
[I apologize if I am offended. Let’s get along well in the future. We’re close friends.]
Aside from that, Yongyong looked like a treacherous traitor.
The reason I decided to join Shinsu is because you made think of him as insignificant.
[Hehe.]
If he had been born as a human, he could have easily sold off a country.
Should I consider myself fortunate to have been born as a divine beast?
* * *
The next day, I headed to the Blue House. The president’s face was in full bloom like a flower.
“Welco. “I’m glad you’re safe.”
“The President looks good too.”
In contrast, Cheon Myeong-guk’s face was dark. His physical condition seed to be better than if he was overworked. If so, I guess there’s sothing to worry about.
Should they catch and let take a vacation?
“Thanks to you. “Isn’t people’s lives better thanks to the oil you brought?”
“Was it because of that? “I’m not sure.”
“Oil changed the world a lot. “It may not feel real, but the fact that oil can be distributed to people in need is sothing that changes the quality of life.”
It was a problem I didn’t realize when I went to the United States.
Because the United States was still a country producing a lot of oil. I brought oil to strengthen my influence, and if it helps, it has played a positive role.
Of course, the president will be happy because his administration’s approval rating is rising.
“If oil continues to flow in, people will know. “The future of our country depends on you.”
“The treatnt is so good, isn’t it?”
Maybe it’s because it’s the end of his administration, but the president also feels like he’s making a fuss.
Yongyong is also treated differently by those around him.
Is this what power is?
“Hehe, isn’t he a superhuman who can even hunt divine beasts? My term is coming to an end, so I need to show off well. “Wouldn’t that make you think of , the old man in the back room, and co visit once?”
“I will visit often. “I also miss the First Lady’s soybean paste stew.”
Now that I think about it, the soybean paste stew served by Thunderbird was good, but the regular dish was the best.
“Ahn Saram will like it.”
“I’m just telling the truth. “It’s the most delicious soybean paste stew I’ve ever had.”
“haha.”
A happy smile appeared on the President’s lips.
“It’s good to see that political power is increasing. “It was also impressive that the opposition party was resolved on this oil issue.”
“It wasn’t anything special. The idea was to bring in soone with the right aptitude if setting up a position could cause people to shut up. “It doesn’t matter as long as the company develops.”
Just as I consider Lee Se-hee and Shinsung Group to be trustworthy partners, I thought that it would be okay for to be recomnded by the political world if it were soone who would further strengthen my influence.
If you don’t like it, you can kick it out right away.
“The most frightening thing for soone with overwhelming power is to follow the rules. Irregularities are thods created by those who lack power to deal with the strong. “If an overwhelmingly strong person like you moves unwaveringly and follows the rules, the weak cannot help but tremble in fear.”
Well, the president’s words were quite impressive.
The reason the strong are scary is because they follow the rules.
It was a similar process when I competed with the Thunderbird. The reason I struggled against Thunderbird was because I thoroughly approached the match with a standard that gave an advantage, and the reason I won was because I used irregularities to create a gap.
In that case, we should stick to the rules but be prepared for irregularities.
Even though it wasn’t a fight where both sides killed each other, I learned a lesson.
“I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you for your advice.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to run the governnt comfortably even in my later years without a la duck.”
“Is that tidy?”
“It’s because the political world is a ss.”
The current trend in the political world is that the ruling party and the opposition party are making disorganized movents, while the governnt is winning alone.
Therefore, it is said that the presidential candidate produced by the governnt has a high possibility of becoming president, and thus has absolute power even though the presidential term is nearing its end.
A president without a la duck.
This is unprecedented.
“And Director Cheon erged as a strong candidate.”
The President spoke as if he was boasting, but the content was by no ans light.
Currently, Myung-Guk Cheon has not declared his candidacy, but he is said to be maintaining an approval rating of over 40% as the next presidential candidate.
What is surprising about this is that Cheon Myeong-guk was a political newcor and served as a thorough staff mber at the Blue House. Even though he was not the second-in-command chief of staff and belonged to the group below him, he was receiving positive evaluations in terms of image, preference, and ability.
Usually, when a candidate appears in a public opinion poll, his approval rating falls as he is removed, but this did not happen with Cheon Myeong-guk.
Maybe politics wasn’t his calling.
“That’s amazing.”
“It’s all thanks to the President and the Choin’s halo.”
“Our Director Cheon is even humble. “The people are looking at it favorably.”
Well, what’s really scary about Cheon Myeong-guk is that he knows how to draw the big picture. By possessing the gift of simulation, you can avoid making mistakes under most circumstances.
This applies to the definition of the strong that the president spoke of. Cheon Myeong-guk, the leading candidate, will not make mistakes, so it will be impossible to overturn this structure.
“Congratulations. “You might beco president.”
“Hehehehe. “But I haven’t been elected yet, so I can’t let down my guard.”
“Yes, of course.”
“But I think it will work. haha!”
“….”
Amid my congratulations and the President’s happy smile, Cheon Myeong-guk quietly lowered his head.
* * *
As the date of declaration of candidacy slowly approached, Cheon Myeong-guk’s complexion took a turn for the worse.
In the eyes of others, his future was bright. As a leading candidate for the next president, he is under the dia’s spotlight and is living a completely different life with his achievents so far highlighted, but he was actually suffering from chronic bloody diarrhea.
“It’s not good at all. You like this? “If they like it, they’re crazy.”
Cheon Myeong-guk has nightmares every day.
His own future, with his head crushed by the hands of the wrong Choi Jun-ho.
Isn’t it okay to be close with Choi Jun-ho?
That’s just a vain hope.
Even if the relationship is good today, if the relationship becos strained tomorrow, Choi Jun-ho is the person who will always help.
His strength was so great that he, as the youngest superhuman, single-handedly captured a level 8 harmful monster and eventually caught a plus level plus plus level, and even hunted a divine beast.
In effect, you have a monster next to you that you cannot control.
I can’t even tell when it will explode.
It beca his responsibility to bear it all.
However, you cannot leave this to soone else.
Jung Joo-ho was also training hard to beco a superman, and it seed like he was listening to his complaints with one ear and letting them out with the other.
“Bad guy. “I thought it was a common disease.”
The shrewd guy took advantage of the atmosphere and succeeded in escaping, and went under Choi Jun-ho and was treated favorably.
I thought we could share the pain together.
The best revenge he can take is to and the constitution after he is elected, change it to a two-term system, and make Chung Joo-ho suffer for eight years.
It was the last struggle of Cheon Myeong-guk, who had given up on being free from pain.
“Yes, it’s better to have a comrade than to die alone.”
Cheon Myeong-guk looked at the declaration of candidacy with narrow eyes.
I wanted to run away even now.
But if he disappears, will the next president be able to deal with Choi Jun-ho?
We have already imagined the future through simulation.
The results were disastrous.
The president from the opposition party’s head exploded in just one month.
The ruling party president’s limbs were crushed and his neck turned 360 degrees after about a week more.
What follows is Choi Jun-ho’s runaway.
The biggest problem is that it is impossible to predict how the explosion will occur even through simulation.
That made Cheon Myeong-guk more afraid.
Even now, Choi Jun-ho was becoming stronger and his influence was strengthening even faster.
In Korea, where Choi Jun-ho exists, he was the only person who could complete his term.
“…You can last 5 years, right?”
Isn’t it true that Jung Joo-ho also wants to beco a superhuman to withstand Choi Jun-ho’s bullying? Probably not.
Feeling things turning hazy before his eyes, Cheon Myeong-guk wrote his candidacy declaration.
