Chapter 181

181The fate of the fire demigod

Goddess Meriel.

She is a survivor of a world destroyed by demons, just like any other survivor..

The difference is that she, who was originally a celestial being, was possessed by a body made in the shape of a human..

It was an inevitable choice to escape the world through the gate, but thanks to this, his power as a divinity was greatly reduced..

The place she arrived at was the United States, the most powerful nation on Earth..

There, Goddess Meriel demonstrated her power to the United States government and received the highest level of protection in the United States..

It's already been fifteen years since she came to the United States. Meanwhile, she has met with numerous U.S. presidents, confirmed their fates, and increased debt to the U.S. government..

Knowing that evil lurks in this world, she and the U.S. government have postponed the immediate payment, but the time will come when they will have to repay that huge debt..

-Even so, the power of Goddess Meriel is more important than that. Even if the state religion of the United States is changed to Merielism,.

It was a modern era in which the power of the religious world was weaker than ever. If the U.S. government truly wants to do so, it is possible..

Above all, the power she possessed was even more powerful when targeting individuals..

Determining a person's fate. what a powerful force it is.

Until the confirmed moment, the hunter avoids even death and everything changes to determine the future..

Just like the sacred laws of the pantheon, the goddess's foresight could be said to be the 'power of concept'..

'Indeed, what is the fate of this man whom Meriel saw??'

There is no such thing as pure curiosity. Deputy Donald became curious about Leon's fate as seen by the goddess Meriel..

"Phew······."

Goddess Meriel stared at Leon, wiping her cold sweat with a handkerchief. She was rarely agitated.

"King Leon, you······."

She watched Leon for a while. She wondered if they were talking in a way that she couldn't hear, but as she glanced at Leon, it seemed like that wasn't the case..

"Sorry, Deputy Director Donald.."

"yes? What do you mean by that?······."

"I don't think I can be of any help to King Leon.."

"Yes?"

This was a case I had never experienced before. Goddess Meriel has always been cooperative with the United States government..

I thought that would happen again this time, but she just shook her head..

"It's not that it can't be done, it's that it can't be done. Don't mistake this difference."

"uh, what is that······."

"King Leon. I can't be of any help to you, but please consider the US government's proposal. That's all I can do."

"Let’s consider it.."

Leon stood up, adjusted his suit, kissed the back of Goddess Meriel's hand, and said goodbye..

Is it the end? It really just goes back like this?

Deputy Director Donald could only stare blankly, forgetting to see Leon off..

"Hello, Meriel.······."

He suddenly came to his senses and looked at Goddess Meriel. The strangely rebuking look in his eyes seems to prove that he is not all that faithful..

"Meriel... How on earth did this happen? By any chance... have you not seen the fate of the Lionheart King??"

"I saw his fate."

"But how······."

"His life consists of struggle. Many struggles have shaped him, and he will continue to walk that path willingly.."

The goddess's power clearly predicted Leon's future. But while it is meaningful, it is not very meaningful..

This is because the future can be changed as much as it is predicted..

The power that can determine that is the power of the goddess of fate called Meriel. but······.

"It was impossible. What seals King Leon's fate?."

The goddess chose the best fate among Leon's fates and tried to confirm it for him. What he longs for, what remains as a lingering regret... Either that or······.

His nemesis or something..

"Huh... I wonder if it really is a human body... Deputy Director Donald had better tell this to the U.S. government. With King Leon, he must cooperate unconditionally.."

"I don't really understand...."

Aside from her regret over the failed migration plan, there was something strange about the goddess's attitude. Wasn't she the one who always gave clear answers?.

"Actually, the fates I can only guess are those of those who are mortal. But he was something I couldn't fathom."

"Is it because he's a demigod? He was promoting something like that on YouTube.."

Goddess Meriel shook her head at those words..

"Although his status remains that of a demigod, it is no exaggeration to say that he is already a god. He has no idea what he is."

"which···?"

"victory."

A god destined for victory.

Meriel seemed somewhat excited as she held her pounding heart. As if the cold sweat from earlier was because of that..

"Many worlds were destroyed by demons, and many gods lost their worlds. The same goes for King Leon and the world.······."

The difference between them and gods like themselves was clear..

"King Leon. The existence of the living God is the clear boundary that separates us from the pantheon.."

God cannot intervene in God's fate.

I thought I could understand why the gods of the pantheon cared so much for a mortal..

'A man who became a god in a human body. Truly a product of a miracle. A being that can become the biggest axis of history.'

and.

How can one not love a being who will become a pillar of glory that will make the gods of the pantheon stand tall even in countless dimensions?.

"It would be best not to do anything foolish to make King Leon an enemy or try to keep him in check. Because that will decide the ‘fate’ of the United States of America.."

The goddess left a firm foresight to her longtime business partner. She was polite in her own way.

'But... there was one more being that I couldn't fathom..'

As I watched his fate, I made eye contact with 'it'.

A being so destructive and cunning... he is like the embodiment of all the violence in the world..

「Go away.」

As if even looking into your future self is unpleasant..

His destructive gaze shattered the goddess' wisdom and drove her away..

The Lionheart King's archenemy.

* * * *

-The Deputy Director of the United States Hunter Bureau met with His Majesty Leon! i saw it!

-Fucked! Because of that person, two S-class hunters became naturalized.!

-The opposition party, you bastards!! Did it have to be like this to feel refreshed?!

-What is Ddong-gil doing? Why are you just watching? You idiot, I'm not going to catch all the Yankees and throw them in jail.?

-on what basis?

-My tears are the basis.

President Ahn Dong-gil listened to the report from the Director of the National Intelligence Service, troubled by the worsening public opinion as the days passed..

"Britain held talks with the next queen, Princess Diane, and other countries such as France, Japan, India, Belgium, and Germany made similar proposals.······."

"USA. What should America do??"

"The cession of American territory and the establishment of an independent kingdom.."

"America is that far?"

President Ahn Dong-gil held his breath in front of the enormous support offered to Leon and the Pantheon..

Now that things were like this, Korea had to do something. Whether enacting a special law or proposing an autonomous region!

"Yes, sir!"

"what's the matter!"

"Oh, your Majesty! His Majesty Leon wants to see you.!"

"······!"

Could it be that he has already decided to move? Representative Han, this bastard!!

No. How much has the approval rating gone up thanks to Leon? If he doesn't stop Leon from moving abroad, he will go down as the worst president of all time..

"Uh, where are you?!"

President Ahn Dong-gil hurriedly headed to the reception room where Leon was waiting..

"Oh, President Ahn. Why don’t we take a walk for a while?."

"Ah, yeah yeah!"

The walking path of the Korean President and the Lionheart King of the Pantheon. Leon, who may or may not have known that President Ahn Dong-gil was feeling rotten inside, continued the conversation by talking about his personal affairs..

'Are you going? Are you really going? Didn't I come to say goodbye??!'

Andong-gil was willing to kneel for his country if necessary..

He is a person that Korea needs even more now that the invasion of demons has accelerated. If necessary, I planned to support the next presidential election..

'Sorry, Grandpa! sorry, father!'

President Ahn repeatedly apologizes to his grandfather, who was an independence fighter, and his father, who was a democratic fighter..

He probably didn't know that Leon, who was once warned that he would destroy Korean democracy, would become such a big figure..

"By the way, President Ahn. I have a gift to give you."

"uh, what is that······."

Leon suddenly pulled out a sword from subspace. The security guards were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the weapon, but no one dared to pull out a pistol..

In the first place, if the Lionheart King makes up his mind, who can stop him?.

"This is······."

"It is a star iron sword filled with the blessings of the goddess Ariana. It's a gift to the president inside me.."

President Ahn knew very well how valuable it was. But what kind of gift is this in these times? Isn’t it like a farewell gift?!

"your majesty!"

President Ahn suddenly kneeled down. If a reporter had seen it, it was an unexpected action that would have been featured in today's news..

"Don't go! Where will you go after abandoning Korea?!"

"President Ahn?!"

In a rare moment, Leon opened his eyes wide in embarrassment. He immediately tried to raise President Ahn, but he stubbornly refused..

"It's all my fault! Those bastards of the opposition party... no, I am the sinner for not being able to control them! I will definitely make it right, so please just Lee Joo-man···!"

"How can you say something like that? Jim has no intention of leaving Korea.."

"Hehehe! Should I even give you Gyeonggi-do... Yes??"

I have no intention of leaving Korea. At those words, President Ahn made a bewildered expression, swallowing back the tears that were about to fall..

"Are you... not leaving? to America?"

"I don't plan on going anywhere, let alone the US. Well, we did reach an agreement to establish a branch of the pantheon.."

"Uh, why?······."

Even in President Ahn’s opinion, their proposal was fascinating. Korea could also make a corresponding proposal, but marriage talks with the royal family and territorial cession were difficult even due to opposition from the opposition party..

But why did the Lionheart King decide to stay in this narrow space??

"Haha, where would I go without you? Jim never forgets the friends who helped him in times of trouble.."

"your majesty······."

Andong-gil felt his heart swell..

To be honest, there was a time when he called me a fanatic, barbarian, gangster, and knight, but he was also a man..

It's an old, romantic book full of loyalty and friendship..

"But it seems like there are a lot of legal issues with Jim's activities. As you know, Jim has rules and decency to follow. I'd like you to pay more attention to that part.."

"No, of course. Issues such as taxes and illegal weapons will be resolved through Association President Oh Kang-hyuk and Lord Yacht Spinner. You don't have to worry about the opposition party.!"

"You saved me a day by saying you would care so much.."

Leon patted President Ahn on the shoulder and chuckled. As soon as the two people's walk was successfully completed, President Ahn immediately decided to get rid of these opposition party bastards first..

* * * *

On the way back, Leon boarded a helicopter heading to Naju with Vulcanus, who had accompanied him as an attendant..

"You seem to have doubts, Lord Vulcan.."

"hmm! I don't understand it a little bit.."

"The question is, why didn't they accept America's offer??"

"exactly. You're a British princess... You'd be a fool to leave Her Majesty Queen Beatrice alone and marry her.."

"She is the princess of a country. be polite."

"greatness···! Excuse me. Well, it's possible if you're a wife's concubine, but taking a woman who isn't even a priestess as your wife is a bit problematic.."

The Lionheart King of the Lionheart Kingdom was usually married to a devout priestess. Leon also has an eventful love story, but he married Dina, the goddess of the moon and purity, and made her his queen..

"However, from what I can see, the United States' proposal is of great benefit. Lionheart could have been rebuilt right away.."

"Well, it's an easy path. However, it is a path with clear limits.."

"Mmm?"

Leon smiled and said in response to Vulcan's question..

"According to your grand plan, it would be impossible to settle in the United States.?"

"······then!"

"Jim also thought a lot about the corruption of the empire.."

Vulcan stiffened as if he had heard an unexpected answer, but then burst into laughter..

"GRARARARARA────!!"

* * * *

The approval rating of the opposition party was heading towards disaster day by day due to the unconventional courtship of world powers triggered by the resignation incident..

In the end, Korea's main opposition party raised its hand..

"We withdraw our complaint against the Pantheon and apologize for causing concern to His Majesty Leon Dragonia Lionheart due to this unpleasant matter.."

An official declaration of surrender was made along with the opposition party's public press conference, and even afterwards, due to the low approval rating, there was a major internal shake-up, and the new leader of the party disciplined the members of the hearing committee..

The opposition party elected a large number of Pantheon believers as proportional representatives in order to rebound its approval ratings, and to counter this, the ruling party also participated in the competition for Pantheon members.──

"We will achieve a just judicial system reform in the name of the goddess of light and justice, citizens.!"

"Let's hunt down the demons with the power of the war god Fethos.!"

"The son of Mokpo, Shin Se-gil! We will attract the temple of God Foma! The proof is that Lionardo Claudius, the leader of the Krashatriya tribe, supports me.!"

Suddenly, a revolution-like wave began to occur in the Korean political world..

* * * *

With China divided into 53 countries, the Heilong People's State had borders with Vladivostok, Russia, and Hoeryong, North Korea..

Of course, after the collapse of China, this border became quite meaningless. The remnants of the former China, which were torn into 53 parts, were still large as a country, but they lacked the power and military to manage the border..

After the cataclysm, while everyone was busy making their own lives, even China, their only sponsor, fell into the same situation, so North Korea became a living hell for a long time, and the number of North Korean defectors was increasing day by day..

"Ugh... Hey, Mr. Gu. I really need to cross that river?"

"I'm worried too."

Koo Dae-seong.

After the large-scale Gate incident two months ago, he remained in Heilong People's Bureau and was in agony as he watched the Dumen River freeze before his eyes..
