The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 510
510The situation has changed (2)
Roman Dmitry's remarks.
It was unconventional.
Even Kim Jun-hyuk, who had sincerely pledged loyalty, had his pupils shaking like crazy at the situation in front of him..
20years ago.
The catastrophe first broke out.
Leaders from around the world gathered in one place to face the crisis facing humanity, and they spoke about the future by establishing new words such as catastrophe and absolute..
But the situation was not as smooth as expected..
At a time when humanity's combined efforts were not enough, leaders classified as powerful countries raised their voices..
“No, why should we support so many troops? World peace? great. Of course we plan to work hard for world peace, but isn't our country's safety a priority? It's a question of order. When a catastrophe strikes, if we determine that our country is safe, we will move our troops to help other countries..”
“So do we. Soldiers are also human. They will risk their lives for the land they were born in, but they do not want to die in a country they do not know much about. Dispatch of troops is an issue that should be discussed only after the safety of the family is guaranteed. My country and my family are dying right now, and what kind of soldier would use morale to solve another country's problems? Tyranny of a powerful nation? Yes, that's right. My country is about to be destroyed, and it doesn't matter whether you criticize me or not..”
The conference room was turned upside down..
this time.
It is not a matter of intertwined desires like a world war..
The entire human race is on the verge of extinction, and even countries that were once considered powerful could perish overnight..
But as a powerful country, does it take care of other countries? That was logic that only applies when there is a future..
They were in danger right now, but they couldn't send even one soldier to help another country..
common sense has collapsed.
The powerful countries maintained their stance, and the weak countries had no choice but to follow the trend in order to survive..
at that time.
The people of South Korea were in despair..
They condemned the tyranny of powerful countries and trembled at the hopeless future ahead..
however.
Is that really true?.
Can we simply dismiss the choices of powerful countries as tyranny?.
People's true intentions were selfish.
If they had been included in the category of great powers, they would not have described the choices of great powers as ‘tyranny.’.
‘I envied the people of powerful countries. The decision of a powerful country to exclude other countries, secure its own security first, and take care of its own family, not that of others. The images of people dying in front of my eyes were too clear to talk about things like justice or humanity. That was people's sincerity. We are not criticizing the situation because it is the tyranny of a powerful country, but because we cannot protect ourselves. I wanted to be selfish. I selfishly wanted to survive.’
Most of the people who make up this world are not heroes.
Because I put myself before others, I did not speak of justice in a situation where the world could truly be destroyed..
Nobel Peace Prize?
A leader who speaks of world peace?
In times of chaos, he is a truly harsh leader..
People under him must endure situations where they are sacrificed for the sake of the justice that the leader carries out..
I would rather have a dictator. I was hoping for trash that people would point fingers at..
I wanted a leader who acts selfishly for the 1% of people who follow him, even if 99% of the world criticizes him..
It was the people's sincerity..
Harmony and peace will be necessary at some point, but they did not want to make that sacrifice..
and now.
People, including Kim Jun-hyuk, felt like they had stopped breathing..
“Keep in mind. I am Roman Dmitry. I will not care about the safety of anyone except this land I rule, this city called Incheon. The world says it's morally unjust, but I have no sense of justice that looks out for all..”
that word.
Not everyone can do it.
It was the exclusive preserve of those with power, such as great powers, and such beings recognized the sincerity that people could not bear to express..
They say they will take care of themselves first. I felt like crying.
Living as a citizen of a weak country, living in a local area that the central government ignores.
The people here hoped that a strong leader would emerge who would give for them even if the whole world criticized them..
Is that why?.
this moment.
People were fascinated by Roman Dmitry's strength..
Even if he was recorded as a wicked person in future history, the people of Incheon accepted him wholeheartedly..
* * *
the situation is over.
Although the people of Incheon did not talk to each other, they looked determined about the future..
Roman Dmitry.
I would give my life for him..
We will empower Roman Dmitry to make the future he talks about a reality..
however.
There was a group of people who thought differently from the people of Incheon..
They were the hundred days.
“……There is no such thing as a sense of justice that looks out for everyone. Is it true that we follow Incheon??”
“Guild leader. 100 Days is a group that pursues justice. Roman Dmitry's statement that he would not care whether those who do not follow Incheon die or not is different from the justice that Baekil has practiced so far. This is not it. I didn't come into Baekil to take care of my own safety..”
The backlash was severe..
members of 100 days.
They sincerely sought justice.
Even if they had to die right now, they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the people who were being attacked right in front of them..
Minwoo Park said.
“stupid things.”
“……what is that.”
“Do you really not know Roman Dmitri’s true feelings? Roman Dmitry clearly said that the people follow ‘him’. Although he is limited to Incheon now, if Korea, or even the whole world, follows him, he is willing to jump into the fire for the safety of the people..”
There is an interesting fact about the karma pendant..
Depending on what people think of you, the color of the pendant becomes a little more vivid..
That means.
Roman Dmitry, whom he follows, must not be a villain..
Only by wrapping all his words and actions with justice will he be able to maintain his one hundred days and resolve the karma of his past life..
Park Min-woo shouted in a fierce voice..
“This country is rotten. The reason why Roman Dmitry firmly drew a line with the central government is because only then can a clear chain of command be maintained in this chaotic world. Currently, the command system is divided into central government, local government, etc. If those who follow Roman Dmitry form a force in the future, we will be able to oust the central government and create a safe Republic of Korea. Let me ask you. Is a central government that only looks out for its own safety just? Or is Roman Dmitry, who is willing to get blood on his hands and think about the future of the Republic of Korea, justice? Do not think that justice means unconditional sacrifice. Roman Dmitry just made a decision for a better future..”
I didn't know what I was talking about either..
I blurted out the words I was combining in my head..
“What on earth did I accomplish during all these years of being called the White Wizard? At best, Roman Dmitri's justice is to create a better future by punishing evildoers, while saving the people he can see. I was fascinated by his justice. Therefore, for the future of the Republic of Korea, I do not wish to remain clean forever. I'm willing to accept reality if the price of my becoming dirty is to bring back peace to the world..”
I clenched my fists..
The wizards of the hundred days were speechless..
“……Guild leader.”
“also.”
Their touching eyes.
the past years.
Thanks to the trust they had built up one after another, no matter what bullshit they said, the 100 Day Wizards saw Park Min-woo as justice..
that day.
Baekil’s faith became stronger.
* * *
Red Time Day 2.
A city that was peaceful on the first day was devastated by a sudden attack that started at dawn..
Kwakwakwakkwak!
“Wow!”
“evil!”
beyond the sea.
A tsunami came..
A tsunami tens of meters high swept away the city at once, and the people who were preparing for the monsters' attack were instantly swept into the sea..
That was just the beginning. People who struggled to escape the tsunami were torn apart by the huge octopus feet that protruded through the sea water..
“Wow!”
“It's a Kraken!”
Kraken).
It was a grade A marine monster..
Krakens appeared from all directions and attacked people, and similar sea monsters also appeared one after another..
above the sea.
A monster wave has been created.
A tsunami was created due to the wave of mana, and monsters rushed in through the sea water through dimensional distortion..
It was the worst situation for Busan, located on the beach..
Busan was a city in the province with its own military power, but there was no way to prevent an attack that came like a natural disaster..
“……Damn it.”
Commander of Busan.
Cha Young-min looked across the sea with a despairing expression..
It was dangerous.
If things continued like this, Busan would collapse in an instant..
“Everyone retreat! We will abandon the maritime defense line and fight desperately on the final defense line. Everyone retreat.!”
“retreat!”
Whale whale shouted.
people ran away.
Those who couldn't escape were either swept away by the tsunami or screamed as they were attacked by monsters..
Cha Young-min ran away quickly but kept checking behind him..
The sight of the city being devastated and the people dying helplessly made him feel like his heart was burning to the ground..
‘Is it the end?.’
I guess.
Busan's fortune, which was somehow maintained, now appears to be coming to an end..
* * *
meeting room.
The appearance of the leaders was miserable..
Those who were leading the troops on the battlefield like Cha Young-min, looked bewildered and said nothing..
Just now.
We lost 30% of our troops..
Since the opponent was a monster wave with no end in sight, the chances of Busan surviving were very slim..
a leader said.
“Now it's all over. Busan's current power cannot withstand the monster wave, and the central government, as always, has stated that it cannot help until Seoul's safety is secured. This reality will not change if we hold on for a few more days. Even if the red time ends, the central government will gradually clean up the area starting from Seoul, and by then Busan will have already been swept away by the monster wave..”
“We must abandon Busan. There is no hope here.”
Cha Young-min also.
I found out the truth.
Busan didn't have the strength to hold on, but that didn't mean I could leave here..
“……Does leaving Busan give us any other hope? We are not protecting Busan with a special sense of mission. We were born and raised in Busan, but Seoul did not accept our existence, so we had to fend for ourselves here in Busan. We are outcasts. For those of us who cannot leave Busan, the fate of Busan is directly linked to our lives..”
It was a miserable reality..
Everyone bowed their heads at Cha Young-min’s words..
outcasts.
It's an accurate expression.
Since there was a limit to the number of people Seoul could accommodate, local governments like Busan had no choice but to arise..
Busan Mayor Cha Young-min.
In fact, he wasn't the original mayor..
The original mayor died long ago, and the man who was recognized for his fighting skills took over the position..
It was then.
“……Have you heard any rumors about Incheon??”
“Incheon?”
It was a leadership team.
He remained silent throughout the meeting, then looked at Cha Young-min and spoke carefully..
“yes. I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard shocking news from a friend of mine. Monster Wave, Blood Rain, and S-rank monsters appeared in Incheon at the same time, and it is said that a person named Roman Dmitry led Incheon and solved all the problems..”
“It's only the second day of red time. But they solved the monster wave.?”
“So I had my doubts too. It's clear that this doesn't make sense, but even though he's usually bluffy, he's not the kind of friend who says empty words. The friend said that Roman Dmitry was a really great person. It is said that no monster can withstand a single blow, and that the Incheon government will completely change the landscape of Korea in the future. Mayor. Why not ask Incheon for help? If we are pushed to the edge anyway, we must protect Busan, even if it means following Incheon, rather than the central government that ignores us. You're not giving up like this, are you??”
What the leaders said.
I couldn't believe it.
All problems were solved with the power of Incheon..
But with the situation pushed to the edge, Cha Young-min had to grasp at straws to survive..
Cha Young-min asked.
“Where does the information come from??”
The existence of a friend.
I needed to decide if I could trust him..
The leadership said confidently.
“My name is Jang Yoon-tae from Baekil, and I have been close friends since we were young. You know it well, don’t you? What kind of group is Baekil?.”
It wasn't empty confidence..
100 days.
That one word was enough to explain.
