Chapter 164

164Tuesday I came for sightseeing. of course…

The door to the Taiwan Presidential Office Secretary's Office opens violently..

Despite the visit, which could even be called rude, the human inside was calm..

"Oh my, Mr. President. You have to knock.."

The Secretary-General of the Presidential Office is the core of power. But that doesn't mean you can surpass the Fuhrer..

If the Chief of Staff, who is a shadow figure, were to greet the President with this attitude at a public event, he would be immediately fired, but the Chief of Staff remains calm..

"Is it a time like this?!"

President Zhao shows his anger at the Chief Secretary's attitude. But the nature of that anger was quite different from the situation..

"The Lionheart King is coming! Come here now! He's coming with those monster knights.!"

The Lionheart King and his subordinate knights are the most controversial figures in the world..

The fact that they are survivors from another world and their overwhelming force. The image is basically positive, such as the miracle of God purifying the land polluted by magic..

Even though it would be embarrassing if they visited his country, it would be okay to treat them as state guests, so President Zhao is more embarrassed than necessary..

"If that madman goes on a rampage, we're all finished.!"

"Oh my. Why do you say that? Should we reject him like that just because he is an alien with common sense that is different from ours?."

"You bastard! I don't understand the situation now──"

──■■■■■■

The change was instantaneous..

A dark cloud hangs over the President's Secretariat, filling it with pitch-black darkness..

An eerie sense of space, as if floating vaguely on the other side of an endless universe..

President Zhao felt like he was lost in space and finally came to his senses thanks to a gloomy voice..

[It's a waste. It looks like you've become so humbled by my skin that you've forgotten your mortal status..]

"Ah, ah, ah···."

President Zhao's vocal cords only trembled, but he could not make a sound. All he is allowed to do is fear and submission..

Master of Darkness. The Prince of Pleasure and Corruption said:.

[Don't be arrogant about your status. You are not the Lionheart King. Not even a magician queen. It's not even a city protection machine. Don't be fooled into thinking that a plaque with your name on it will raise your status..]

President Zhao nodded desperately. Only through pitiful submission and obscene obedience did President Zhao manage to escape from the darkness..

"Huh...huh! Heo Eok!"

Demon Archduke.

President Zhao knew about this demon even before its existence was announced to the world..

I immediately succumbed to the fact that a being with such terrible power and great power exists on Earth..

"Ha, but... uh, how······."

And then comes the monster that defeated even the demon archduke..

The video of Akasha, the Great Duke of Slaughter, being defeated by the Lionheart King had the highest traffic in the world..

The being that overwhelmed the monster that easily overwhelmed even the S-class hunters at that moment of change..

He is coming to Taiwan now..

It was a fact that was hidden under the pretext of travel and that he only realized a little while ago..

If he, if they come. If those exterminationists land on this land······.

"Yes, the Lionheart King... if the pantheon recognizes us,──"

"We'll all die."

"It can't be······."

It was a despairing statement. It feels like hope is disappearing that even this mighty demon archduke is so confident..

"Isn’t it obvious? The Magic Queen and the Flame Grail Knight are not as good as the Lionheart King, no matter how they are used.."

Malus, Lord of Chaos and Destruction,

Karakael, Lord of Wisdom and Exploration,

Even Dothradon, the lord of pleasure and corruption, was unable to subdue the Lionheart King..

"The only thing that can rival the Lionheart King is the power of a monarch. It's like a god of victory in human form.."

Even if the current Lionheart King is not as good as before, his power will not be at a level that the Grand Duke can do anything about..

However, Grand Duke Quai of the Fall... Yang Wei, the current secretary of the Presidential Office, spoke calmly..

"So welcome them. Since His Excellency the Führer has not received the 'demonization consecration', he will not be caught immediately.."

"What, is there any way??"

At those words, Quay twisted the corner of his mouth evilly..

"We invite them to the banquet. A banquet of pleasure and decadence."

he was waiting.

Just as Raksha was biding his time..

* * * *

-Baaaaang~ Bang! papapang!

Loud fireworks ringing from the port. Soldiers open fire and red carpets are rolled out along the road..

"We sincerely welcome your visit to our country, Your Majesty.."

Leon and his companions who disembarked from the luxury liner Hanbit were greeted by President Zhao of the Republic of Taiwan and key members of his cabinet..

"Lionheart King Leon Dragonia Lionheart."

After shaking hands with Leon, President Zhao greeted Beatrice and Yapi in succession, despite being sweating profusely..

-Kikluk!

I had to bow my head quite a bit to shake hands with this minimalist mechanical spider..

-thud! thud!

At that time, a shadow was cast on President Zhao. Gulping, President Zhao looked up at the owner of the shadow with a sore throat..

"Boo, Lord Vulcan······."

Vulcan, the Holy Grail Knight of War and Flame. From what I heard from Quay, the Holy Grail Knight is a nightmare to demons..

Faced with a huge chunk of armor over 2 meters tall, President Zhao realized that it could burn him to death with just its breath..

"You are the king of this country.?"

"yes?"

A hot breath that seems to burn the air. President Zhao was so overwhelmed by the burning gaze that he did not recognize the intent of the question..

"Ah, yes! no! I am the president elected by a democratic country! different from the king!"

It was a poor answer in many ways for a head of state, but President Zhao hesitated for a while before suddenly realizing that there was no specific group in the pantheon group..

"The Burning Sword Knights······."

"The Knights are on standby in Korea. The only ones brought are the Man-at-Arms and porters who will escort the luggage.."

The only people who got off the luxury liner Hanbit were the S-class hunter, Ha-ri, a semi-S-class hunter, the Academy trio, Men at Arms, and the serfs..

I was nervous because the Lionheart King himself was coming, but he said he had left most of his troops in Korea.?

'Didn't they come for an invasion??'

I wondered if I was scared for no reason. Of course, there is a possibility that the Knights Templar and main forces are hiding inside that ferry, so we will have to thoroughly investigate it in the name of customs inspection..

"By the way, Your Majesty, what brought you to our republic??"

To President Zhao's question, Leon answered as if he was asking something obvious..

"sightseeing."

* * * *

Intelligence agents from Taiwan's National Security Bureau have been monitoring the Pantheon ever since they landed..

You may ask whether it is an overreaction for national intelligence agencies to monitor tourists, but since those tourists can overturn the country if they want to, it would be irresponsible not to at least overreact..

[It's quieter than I thought..]

[I know. There isn't much movement here either..]

There are only a handful of people of interest..

Leon and Beatrice, the President of Taiwan, were guiding the tour in person and taking good photos for the media, while Vulcan was sightseeing with knights including Hari..

In the first place, I wasn't in the mood for something like stealth, but with such a large body and flashing armor, I can't help but be noticed wherever I go..

-I took a certified photo of Lord Vulcan of the Pantheon.!

-Lord Vulcan and Ha-ri Han just opened the chicken wing fried rice store at our store.!

Leon and Beatrice are very famous in the pantheon, and Hari is also a formidable influencer. It's because I don't know about SNS..

Since they are such prominent celebrities, it was tempting to wonder if they needed separate surveillance. If you just look at social media, their location is immediately noticeable..

[Other articles and Men at Arms?]

[I'm sightseeing. There were so many that I couldn't capture them all. But aren’t you really just a tourist??]

[I don't know. But it seems like the higher ups don't think the intention was pure..]

[Didn’t you say that nothing special happened when you went to Japan??]

After the name of survivor Leon became known, intelligence agencies around the world collected information about the pantheon and its surrounding people..

The conclusion they come up with is that they are ‘authoritarian kings of the Middle Ages + thorough fundamentalists’..

Anachronistic classism and religiously unforgiving fundamentalists..

It's a well-known fact that he hates democracy.

Nevertheless, his attitude of respecting President Ahn Dong-gil and Prime Minister Fujisawa on the grounds that it is legal proves that he is surprisingly able to communicate..

Therefore, National Security Agency agents were puzzled by the attitude of their superiors who were more wary of Pantheon than necessary..

[They said there might be knights or additional troops waiting..]

[In the end, nothing was found inside the ferry??]

[That's right. It's going to be Ssongsjie soon and I can't rest. What is this?.]

Coming October 10th. In Taiwan, a national holiday is held to commemorate the founding of the nation, called Double Ten Day..

On this day, Taiwan's military parade and national festivals were held, so some of the Security Bureau agents were able to take time off on this day..

However, when the Pantheon visited, an emergency order was issued to all Security Bureau agents. In fact, it's like going on a vacation to Shugsji..

[Oh, but you can't see anyone??]

[who? Most of the important people are monitored in real time..]

Drivers and Men at Arms even mobilized police personnel to monitor them, but since they are not professionals, they are bound to be lax..

However, the knights such as Han Ha-ri, Cheon So-yeon, and Vulcan are closely watching.──

"uh?"

A safety bureau agent who inadvertently let out a goofy voice. He realized who they had been missing..

[Park Yong-shin and Yakt Spinner! Where have you both gone?! Who's in charge! Report it right away!]

[This is the blue team! Team Blue, please respond.!]

An urgent radio message flows among the Security Bureau agents. Only their traces remained where they followed the blue team's GPS information..

Traces of battle, having been attacked by something. The blue team's surveillance agents, who even included veteran hunters, were defeated without even drawing their swords..

"Damn it···!"

I never thought they would deal with the guards so openly! Security Bureau agents sensed that the pantheon was not really there for tourism. then······.

"Find it now! Search the CCTV to find out where he went! Also, double the number of people currently under surveillance.!"

Something... something happens.

Why are there two people??

Yacht Spinner, the mechanical Grail Knight of the pantheon, and Park Yong-shin, the former head of a pseudo-religion. I need to thoroughly find out why those two people are from now on..

* * * *

Hanbit Palace was a world-class, well-known pseudo-religion..

First, he boasted a considerable campaign in his home base of Korea, but he also secured a considerable number of believers in the United States, Japan, and various parts of Europe and established branches, and the same is true in Taiwan..

It has been several months since Leon punished Hanbit Palace. After purifying all the believers, they were taught the true faith..

For a while, Hanbitgung believers from all over the world entered Korea and visited the pantheon, but surprisingly, it was done secretly..

Due to the nature of a pseudo-religion, the reason it is not noticed by the mass media is because of the thorough education among its members..

Due to the nature of religious propagation during the cult era, the cathedral was not operated in a grand manner. Basically, it is a form of branch organization where executives from Hanbit Palace visit homes to give testimony and learn doctrine..

And today is a monumental day for the 138,000 believers of the Hanbit Palace Taiwan branch..

"Today is truly a glorious day."

Park Yong-shin spoke to the believers in fluent Chinese. His passionate testimony and sermon alone are enough to move believers in the Taiwan branch to tears of emotion..

But today’s main character is not Prince Hanbit’s Park Yong-shin..

"Today, His Majesty Lionheart, who is our spiritual leader and who gave us the grace to awaken us to the true faith, personally sent a representative.."

Introducing! The Holy Grail Knight who represents Heto, the god of iron and blacksmithing! This is Lord Jagt Spinne.!

-Kikluk!

Yakt Spinner climbs onto the polygonal platform with eight steel legs and climbs onto the prepared height cushion..

His camera eye was transmitted to the believers in front of him through a thoroughly encrypted relay site..

-Nice to meet you. Yakt Spinner.

Unlike a cold steel machine, Yapi incited the audience with his natural voice and powerful gestures that dazzled them..

- The indulgence of non-believers reached its peak. The time has come for you to fulfill your duty as the chosen servants of the gods..

Yakt Spinner projected something on the video screen that was delivered to each branch. It's a bunch of boxes I don't know where they came from.

Those with sharp eyes noticed its identity right away..

-explosives?

Yapi continued his sermon to the noisy congregation..

The strange mustachioed voice that started the world war about 90 years ago made believers believe they were doing the right thing..

And when the heightened emotions reached their peak, Yappy vigorously waved his mechanical arms and shouted:.

-Represent divine punishment! Because the gods want it!!

-Because the gods want it!!

-Because the gods want it!!

13It was the moment when 18,000 terrorists were produced..

-Kikluk!
