The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 191
191fury
Maxim Guedes' triumphant words were received favorably by James Reed..
Confidence was an essential element for a superhuman. When he said this, I felt reassured. But it was impossible to let down one's guard..
The Shinsoo that stands against the Thunderbird will not be easy either. Even if you get an agent, he will at least be a superhuman..
If you're not careful, you may come into contact with the league's superhumans..
‘There will be no shortage of vigilance.’
However, if the opponent is a league player, the confrontation structure becomes more comfortable. I'll be able to go all out on this side too..
Maxim Geddes was hoping for that..
“I was aiming for that from the beginning too..”
At times like this, my head turns quickly. Maxim Guedes actually seemed to want Rigg to be hired..
“I would be grateful if things in the world went the way we wanted..”
It probably wouldn't go that smoothly..
By now, people all over the world have probably noticed the existence of Shinsoo..
You probably also know their value. With monsters becoming increasingly stronger, humanity could have ended up being subordinated to the divine beast..
We need to be wary of this, but I was worried whether humanity's greed could collectively achieve it..
How common is it to find someone who gets recognition from everyone and gets things done selflessly?.
‘There is only one person who can…….’
The moment Choi Jun-ho's face appeared, he quickly shook his head to disperse the afterimage. I ended up remembering a face I should never remember..
In the meantime, James Reed continued to be busy, watching the training of fellow awakened people and standing on the pulpit himself. Contrary to his moniker, Macho Man, he possessed a genius mind and was the most distinctive of America's supermen..
He transformed his body through systematic training and reached the level of a superman, becoming a role model for all awakened people..
His experience of gaining various enlightenments in Korea became even richer, and he was selected as the most respected superhuman and the superhuman he most wanted to emulate..
James Reed was not pleased with this atmosphere..
“Everyone doesn’t know Choi Jun-ho’s true identity. This is not good.”
The United States was the strongest country in the past, is the strongest country now, and will remain the strongest country in the future..
However, considering whether they currently have the strongest player, that was not the case..
It is difficult to look down on your opponent with pride in being the strongest. As someone who has personally observed the ‘strongest’ from the side, he was wary of the atmosphere in which he was praised..
This kind of pride can push you into the abyss in an instant. Choi Jun-ho is generous to those close to him, but once he puts his hands on someone, he is sure to end up in blood..
James Reid wanted the league he would bleed with, not the United States and the party..
To prepare for this, Choi Jun-ho explained the status of Head Breaker..
Americans listened with excitement to the story of the world's strongest superman, who straddles the line between law and lawlessness..
Then one day.
“James! It's urgent.!”
James Reed, who was busy with his schedule, received an urgent call and headed to a research center located in the desert of Nevada. There is a radar installed here that detects force waves occurring around the world..
With this, we were able to discover the existence of monsters and divine beasts, and we were equipped with the Smart Hunting System (SHS) that America is proud of..
Although it cannot cover the entire world, it has the advantage of being able to detect abnormal signs in advance..
“what's going on?”
When James Reed entered the lab, it was already bustling with activity..
“Explosive force movement was captured.”
“There is rapid movement in the Pacific Ocean. The force is moving back and forth between the two sides, as if the positive poles of a magnet are attracting each other.!”
“That kind of force moves at this speed.?”
James Reed was astonished when he saw the numbers displayed on the bulletin board. This destructive power was as great as hundreds of nuclear weapons combined..
It is absolutely not a natural movement..
“If you reach the ground like this,…….”
There will be an explosion as terrible as you can imagine..
I felt dizzy and at the same time thought that the fact that this much power was moving at this speed was related to the 'essence' that Shinsoo was talking about..
It would be a disaster if that power were to wander around without anyone to control it, but as long as the Divine Beast exists, we will not face the worst situation..
“Don't panic and watch the movement of power..”
“yes, yes!”
Under James Reed's instructions, the researchers looked at the force flow with a much more stable face..
The power that was fluctuating around the Pacific Ocean passed through Hawaii for a short time, creating a dizzying situation, and then flowing more and more towards Asia..
Traveling between regions can be expressed through words alone, but the speed far exceeds the limits of human perception..
How can this much power be used without exploding?.
I felt like I was losing my mind because of the nervous battle going on in an invisible place..
I sensed that this was the essence of Shinsoo..
“The pulling force in the direction of East Asia is stronger! The force pulling towards North America... has been destroyed.”
At that moment, the machines that were recording force values all returned to their original positions..
It almost occurred to me that the numbers from earlier were false. However, the force that reappeared soon after was fixed in one place in East Asia..
“Where is it?”
In Japan, the influence of the United States still prevails. But the words that came out of the researcher's mouth betrayed those expectations..
“This is Jeju Island in South Korea.!”
“Why do I have to go there?…….”
At that time, James Reed's smartphone rang. The name on the phone was written as Choi Jun-ho, a person who makes you dizzy just by looking at it..
I felt gloomy, thinking that it might have something to do with what just happened, but ignoring the phone call was even scarier..
“Joo, Junho?”
-An abnormal air current has been detected in the U.S.?
“how do you do that…….”
-I received a request.
Then, the superhuman hired by Shinsoo over there could not have been?
For a moment, James Reed realized that the phone call between him and Maxim Guedes had saved his life..
-I'll return it to the client, so don't interfere in the US..
“Ah Okay.”
-We communicate well. Well then, take care of yourself..
With that, the call ended. James Reed, who was staring blankly at his smartphone, was troubled by the essence of Shinsoo..
Choi Jun-ho warned.
But it's too much of a waste to give up like this..
Should I send someone? Should I go see it in person??
So what happens then??
“…….”
The development envisioned in James Reed's mind was a bad ending where everyone's heads were broken..
We cannot let precious talent go in vain..
He sighed as he realized that the situation was completely out of his hands..
“Do not hesitate…….”
* * *
I don't know anything else, but I do know that the Essence of Shinsoo is a pretty loud guy..
Perhaps not only me, but also superhumans and awakened people with sensitive senses would have detected abnormal signs. The essence of the divine beast did not hide its presence and was sprinkled everywhere..
[Hyuna and Thunderbird were fighting for leadership..]
“tell me in detail.”
[huh.]
Yongyong’s explanation was as follows. Since both Hyuna and Thunderbird need the essence of the divine water, they fought a war of nerves to pull the drifting essence closer to them. And Hyuna, who did her best from a relatively close location, succeeded in attracting the essence and placing it on Jeju Island..
It was broadcasted all over the world..
“If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to leave it on the mountain behind the neighborhood??”
[To make all the monsters on that mountain come out.?]
Doesn't that mean that all the monsters on Hallasan will come out?.
[Some of it is true, although not to that extent. And to avoid casualties, it has to be placed on a large mountain. That mountain was just the right size..]
I'd rather do it on Mt. Baekdu..
[That's my house?]
I guess the great divine beast can't even rebuild his own house..
[I didn't even know they would use such drastic methods. I thought I would just leave it in the sea. ah! Since you are not a marine creature, I guess they put it on the mountain so you can easily take it..]
I don't know if I should like this kind of consideration or hate it..
Anyway, I understand that Jeju Island has become a crucible of confusion due to the water drop..
[But it won't be as bad as you think?]
Are you trying to say that you didn't hit me hard??
[No, it's not like that. In the first place, essence has the property of attracting monsters. Of course, it's the little guys that stick out..]
The strong guys will fight to get their hands on the essence..
It's kind of like this. However, if the monster could obtain the essence, he would have to leave quickly, but Yongyong was relaxed..
[What do you think of essence? That's not something any monster can easily swallow. Let alone digesting it, it won't be easy to approach it right away. You should be careful too.]
Since the essence of the divine beast can literally be said to be the sum of the divine beast, all kinds of abnormal changes pour out from the power it radiates. He said that if you get close, it can cause internal interference, mental disturbance, and hallucinations..
If you say that, I'm a child and I'm scared, don't you think I know what to do?.
Anyway, it doesn't have any effect on me as I have a poisonous and invulnerable body..
[You're great, you're great.]
If you know that now, it's too late.
[Don't try to get drunk just because you want power..]
“I made a promise, so I will keep it. don't worry.”
[Well, I've seen you keep your promises, so I don't really doubt it..]
At the same time, I don't know what kind of signal it is to look at it with suspicious eyes. He seems like a grumpy guy..
* * *
I beat James Reed, but human greed has the power to paralyze reason..
If I thought that there wouldn't be a fire moth running towards me with the illusion that I would become a few levels stronger if I just took that power, it would mean that my head had become a flower garden..
The President agreed with my thoughts..
“Although access has been declared prohibited, it will not be possible to fundamentally block access by greedy people..”
“I agree.”
I was like that in my last life, so I couldn't control my strength and was eaten by the hematoma. The days when I was drunk on slaughter still remained an indelible trauma to me..
So I swore I would never go crazy again, and I still remain sane..
“Although it has tremendous power, the actual damage is not that great. It seemed as if someone had carefully controlled it to minimize damage..”
“It will happen.”
“Hmm.”
The president looks at me intently at my answer..
“You seem to know very well what happened to Hallasan Mountain..”
“I know.”
“can you tell me?”
If you're going to go to Jeju Island and get the essence anyway, it would be good for the president to know..
[Instead, please don't give me detailed information..]
Yongyong nodded slightly at the request and then said.
“It's an explosion related to Shinsu..”
“Is it really a god?.”
I'm not as surprised as I thought.
“were you guessing?”
“Unless it's a plus-plus level monster, there's nothing but a divine beast. I'm glad it's not a monster.”
“I'd like to see it sometime, though..”
“I'd like to decline.”
Well, the two-horned monster that is stronger than the plus stage probably has a power comparable to that of a divine beast. If there is any aggro, several cities will be destroyed in a comical way..
Still, I would like to hang out sometime..
“By the way, how do you know about Shinsu??”
“I usually interact with Shinsoo in a small way..”
“Shinsoo and?”
“yes.”
“…That's amazing. To interact with such a great being as a god..”
[I saw it?]
Well, from the president's point of view, Shinsoo, who was at the level of a monster and possessed a rational mind, would have been like a bomb that could explode at any moment. A normal head of state would have thought about impressing God..
I know that I came in contact with Shinsu last time, but I guess I didn't know that we would even interact with each other..
by the way.
When I look at Yongyong’s attitude, I get a little heated.?
[No matter what happens, it doesn't change the fact that we are great beings.?]
He has a natural talent for pissing people off. I'll have to take a look at it later..
The proud Yongyong turned away from him and looked at the president..
“I'm planning to go to Jeju Island right away..”
“They're already saying they'll investigate with another guild..”
“It doesn't matter if you send it. But you won't reap anything.”
“Let me spread the word. But I can't stop the guild from going..”
“yes. And there's one thing I'd like to ask of you..”
“Something?”
“Didn’t you say that even if you ban people from coming to Jeju Island, they will come??”
“It did.”
The government has already announced its position. They said their country would take care of any abnormalities that occurred in Jeju Island..
In the past, an international investigation team would have been dispatched, but since I appeared, the Republic of Korea has the capacity to handle and investigate on its own..
However, since they have witnessed a phenomenon containing an enormous force, they will come to investigate the abnormal phenomenon that occurred on Mt. Halla and acquire any treasure that may be there..
Then I should give you a warning..
“We need to declare that all those who stand out on Jeju Island will be treated as villains..”
Then there will be no problem even if you kill everyone you see..
I have no intention of just sitting there watching another guy giggle at the treasure I'm about to take..
* * *
The way to Jeju Island was by plane. There were no route changes, so the distance took only 1 hour and 30 minutes..
When you feel the comfort of using an airplane, you become greedy for a private plane. It's not like I'm going to be assassinated on a plane like Zhou Quan, and I have many ways to survive if the situation arises. I'll have to consider it..
This is why it was good to have an expert. When there was no expert, I couldn't make the right decision, so I received a supercar from the government and disposed of it again..
A helicopter is better for short distance travel, an airplane is better for long distance travel with a secure route, and if not, a yacht is better..
Actually, I think it would be better if it was a warship instead of a yacht..
“Come to think of it, this is my first time in Jeju Island..”
As monsters appeared and overseas travel became difficult, Jeju Island quickly emerged as Korea's largest tourist destination..
Even though the Hallasan area was occupied by monsters, demand continued..
This means that there is a thirst for the things that were enjoyed before the appearance of monsters..
Jeju Island, seen from below the plane, had an exotic and mysterious charm..
The first time is something new and amazing for everyone..
“The words that others say are beautiful still don't stick in my mouth.”
but.
I guess the reaction of an ordinary person would be to look at that scenery and think it's beautiful..
Since I want to live a normal life in my right mind, I also need to know how to match the reactions of those people..
Next time, I have to come to Jeju Island and look around every nook and cranny..
Now that I think about it, there was a lot to see in the places I was walking around, but I just passed by..
This time too, I was only thinking of finding the essence and returning quickly..
That allowed me to change my thinking..
“wait.”
Just a moment ago, I thought I would be the first to get my hands on it, beating out the guys who were looking for it..
But if you think about it calmly, there is plenty of time..
The monsters that would gather around the essence had to be dealt with, and the energy emitted by the essence itself would have to be diluted or time needed to adapt..
Why do I have to get caught up in their pace and handle things like I'm being chased??
“You don't have to rush to find it, you can find it with ease if you deal with all the people who come looking for you.?”
I was thinking this easy thing was difficult for no reason..
