Chapter 204

< war cloud >

1950South Korea and North Korea have had a long-standing confrontational relationship since the division in 1998..

As North Korea began developing nuclear weapons and South Korea increased its military power to keep pace, the security of the Korean Peninsula, which was like a powder keg that could explode at any moment, was buried in the face of the great disaster that struck the Earth 30 years ago, when the 21st century was about to begin..

A phenomenon called the Gate and all kinds of monsters that come out of it. Even pollution caused by magic.

Korea, the second wealthiest country in Asia after Japan, was also shaken by the waves of cataclysm..

This catastrophe was truly a money-eating hippopotamus, and it recruited awakened people who became hunters..

The cost of training them. Satellites and maintenance costs to arm them and detect gate occurrences in advance.

As soon as the gate was created, it literally sucked up the country's economic power by controlling traffic, securing areas, and buffering bomb shelter facilities in preparation for dungeon breaks..

In other words.

The poorer the country's infrastructure, the poorer the national treasury, and the poorer the administrative power to control a sufficient awakened population..

One premise that encompasses many conditions.

If a country is poor, it cannot respond to the Gate incident..

And no matter how much money you have, if the black gate appears, you will be on the path to destruction..

21North Korea in the 20th century was still no different from North Korea in the 20th century, and in fact became poorer. Even China, which North Korea could rely on, has been torn into about 50 pieces..

The only source of dependence is Korea, a compatriot like Russia..

North Korea first opened its hands to Russia.

"Hehehe, bro. We were part of the same communist clan, so if you could send us some awakened people,──"

"Ugh. Is this the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? It's crap. Get away from me. We need to sell tanks to Korea."

In Russia, whose economy was already reeling from a cataclysm, there was no reason to cooperate with North Korea, which made no money..

Russia, which was learning the true taste of capitalism, ferociously kicked out the North Korean delegation, and North Korea held on and threatened South Korea with nuclear and missile threats under the pretext of self-reliance.──

"Hey South Korea Ganna Shake. A taste of Daepodong from our People's Republic──"

"Shut up. Because I'm busy right now!"

"what?"

21Korea at the beginning of the century. A time when diversification of food sources was urgent due to the economic recession caused by the cataclysm and the contamination of food sources..

With the entire country already on alert due to a food crisis, there was no time to make conciliatory gestures toward our unscrupulous neighbors..

Right now, my nose is three inches wide, but North Korea, the Korean people, and South Korea are completely crouching down and are crazy about strengthening hunter power and importing food..

"We need more... more hunters."

"Aren’t there some hunters in Southeast Asia who are dissatisfied with their treatment? Buy it with cash? Severance of diplomatic relations? whatever?"

"China is ruined! We've lost most of them, but we have to get at least one more person out of there.!"

Truly a decade of chaos. As Korea watched its neighbor China collapse due to a single black gate, Korea cut its defense budget to increase the budget of the Hunter Department, preventing the outflow of talent and at the same time excessively engaging in headhunting..

money. We have a lot of money. Once you come, I'll give you an apartment in Gangnam, a medal, and a pension.!

Even if North Korea fires missiles and threatens artillery fire, I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you! Let's keep shouting and steadily increasing our power for ten years..

North Korea raised the white flag first.

"I'm giving up nuclear weapons... so please send me a hunter.."

2032year korean peninsula.

North Korea was economically and security dependent on South Korea..

* * * *

"It’s been a while since I came here."

It is no exaggeration to say that he leads Korea's representative teenage guild and the largest faction. Kang Jin-seong, the head of the Cheongseong guild, looked filled with memories in the clear, clean air..

"joy! Since I don't come here unless I'm touring Mt. Geumgang, is there anything else I can think of other than memories??"

Cheon Jin-soo starts an argument as if he doesn't like Kang Jin-seong like that..

"Unlike you, I have a lot of family members. There is no time to come here to clean up after each and every North Korean pig.."

For South Korean hunters, North Korea support missions are a kind of volunteer work..

You can take all the by-products obtained at the gate, but there were no South Korean hunters who liked being dispatched to North Korea, which did not have proper infrastructure..

"Oh my, you said you haven't even called me since the last time you came and asked that guy, Kim Jong Il, to give you some money. No, wait? You can't believe it?"

Cheon Jin-su, who remembered the blatant controversy of his flirtatious friend, was shocked to think of a possibility..

"Is there a need to create a lot of troublesome work? If you don't want to see each other, it's best not to meet.."

"I went to great lengths not to do volunteer work! He seems like such a clever old man.!"

Hunters dispatched to North Korea are basically rotational. However, when it comes to S-class hunters, there had to be a request from North Korea and consultation with the Korean Hunter Association..

However, if you are a person who is strongly opposed to it in North Korea,?

If you ask me not to send you this guy,?

Cheon Jin-soo looked at Kang Jin-seong, the representative hunter of Korea, with astonished eyes, who had been kicked out of North Korea after openly making a fuss and had been refusing to do anything ever since..

"No, but what kind of wind came in this time? I don't think the communists specifically singled out you either.."

"I came here because I wanted to see Mt. Geumgang. Didn't I come here to attack the gate, but to show my face for the inter-Korean talks?."

It was a kind of demonstration of force..

After the cataclysm, North Korea gave up its nuclear weapons and entered into a humiliating security cooperation with South Korea, sending out a powerful S-class hunter that they could never raise to North Korea, which is slowly being eroded..

Depending on the outcome of the meeting, this superhuman unit, which can slit the head of the North Korean leader and return to South Korea with ease, has always prevented North Korea's unexpected actions..

To put it bluntly, if the South Korean government stops sending attack teams to North Korea, which has been suffering from a hunter shortage for a long time, North Korea will die the same day..

The difference in national power between North and South Korea had already become an insurmountable wall, and with no population or infrastructure, North Korea had no ability to train hunters on its own..

Since the hunters raised right away rebelled because their hair had grown a little thicker, and a whole company was likely to be blown away that day, North Korea had no choice but to label the magic awakeners as reactionaries, and they had to rely entirely on South Korean hunters..

"By the way, will there be unification before I die?."

"Aren't they gradually reducing the economic gap through the Kaesong Industrial Complex and the Gaema Plateau Development Cooperation? I think it will take another ten years.."

"No, I don't think that will be a problem anymore. I have a brother, right??"

"older brother?"

"I'm talking about Brother Leon.."

"······."

No matter how he looked at it, Kang Jin-seong was not familiar with the fact that the Lionheart King, whose face value was in his 20s, was 300 years old, and that Cheon Jin-su treated him as an older brother..

Although it was exhilarating when this friend, who was also a jerk to himself, was treated like a jerk in return..

"Stop shaking and slowly arrive. I have to get off before the government officials, so wouldn’t they be the first to see Kim Ga-nim bow down??"

"It's nice to see the red pigs bowing down.."

It was the moment when two people got off the charter plane after arriving at the airport..

-Clap!

The two had to face the sight of North Korean soldiers surrounding them pointing guns at them..

"Hello. Park Sang-gyo, Second Director of the Korean People's Army Reconnaissance General Bureau."

One of the top 5 executives in North Korea's power hierarchy. He gave a sharp look towards the two people..

"Since we are running out of time, the South Korean guests will have to follow us.."

There were dozens of awakened people from the Reconnaissance General Bureau stationed nearby..

* * * *

Ever since Dragonia, the divinity of gold and contract, was announced, the whole country has been in an uproar..

The economic community studied how this absolute compliance contract worked and discovered that it was a contract that could be issued by any follower of the pantheon..

and.

"Crush!"

As a result of a large American YouTuber experimenting with how feedback is delivered by deliberately breaking the pantheon contract..

-Haha I fell down.

-not dead?

-Quickly report it to the police!

-I need to call an ambulance!

The huge YouTuber, whose contract burned and gave immediate feedback, was in cardiac arrest until the ambulance arrived, and he jumped up when the ambulance rang the doorbell..

"Hehehe!"

YouTuber miraculously survives while viewers watch.

He gasped when he realized he had been left in cardiac arrest for 15 minutes, but immediately broke into a cold sweat as he felt a cold sensation behind his back..

[It's the last time.]

The shape of a dragon appears to viewers as black fog. There was no need to say what the warning was that the YouTuber could clearly hear..

"Wow, this is real. Really immediate feedback. Ah, from now on, if I sign this contract, I will definitely keep it.."

Everyone learned about the power of the Dragonia Contract thanks to the conclusion reached by a huge YouTuber with 10 million subscribers.──

"From now on, all company contracts will be concluded with Dragonia contracts..'

When an advertising company quickly checked the issue and announced that all in-house contracts would be concluded with Dragonia contracts, the stock price began to hit its upper limit and everyone began to follow suit..

"You have to be a believer in the pantheon to run a company. That's a fart.······."

As the world turned its attention to the new financial revolution, so many inquiries came into the pantheon that Yapi had to work even on airplanes..

"Sir Yappy. what are you doing?"

Yapi briefly answered Hari's question..

-Carrying out Dragonia contract work.

"is it so? At first glance, it looks like it's just sitting still.."

-Working on network-attached storage. Currently 9,657 contracts under review.

"Wow~ That’s amazing!."

Hari had heard that Yapi handles most of the work in the pantheon..

Highly powerful artificial intelligence that can perform all kinds of multi-tasking simultaneously, including terrestrial satellite search missions, fund operation, and factory system management..

If it wasn't for Yappy, who would have touched it??

"If you are not busy, your Majesty is calling. Would you please follow me for a moment??"

-Kikluk!

Yappy gnawed at the seat belt with his mechanical legs, unfastened the belt, and climbed on top of Hari's head..

Hari naturally delivers Yapi in front of Leon. In the first class seat of the plane, Leon was gliding across the Pacific Ocean..

"Your Majesty, I have brought you Sir Yappy.."

"okay."

Leon looked towards Yappy, who was coming down from Hari's head..

"Sir Spinner. I called because I had something to check before arriving in Korea.."

-Kikluk?

"Do you remember what Jim ordered before? This is what Koo Dae-seong, the travel engineer, reported.."

If that was the case, Yappy had already done it..

- As a result of comprehensive re-observation of the northern region of the Korean Peninsula, no abnormalities were found. North Korea is the same as usual.

"Yeah, I see.?"

Leon looked unconvinced as to whether Yappy's report was something he was concerned about..

Yapi's information warfare cannot be compared with any technology on Earth..

The terrestrial exploration function of the space integrated weapons platform located in space was unrivaled by any other satellite in the world, and direct observation using a drone system was also carried out secretly without being detected by any intelligence agency..

After the Koo Dae-seong incident, the entire North Korean region was searched, but the conclusion reached by the reconnaissance system was the same..

North Korea is still no different from usual..

"That's strange. It's no different from usual?"

-yes.

Leon asked what blind spots he had missed because he was a machine that insisted only on strictly objective information..

"Let's look at it by a different standard. In Lord Spinner's opinion, is it possible for North Korea to prevent a large-scale Gate incident without significant damage??"

-Kikluk?

Yapi immediately compared North Korea's available power, the 'number of hunters' promoted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and the Gate incident that had occurred several months ago..

South Korean hunters had already been dispatched to North Korea, and considering their military power, the last large-scale Gate incident was not an event that North Korea could not have prevented..

'According to the statistics claimed by North Korea,'.

"Sir Spinner. There are countries in the world that overuse false statistics to save face.."

-······.

Only then did Yapi begin to calculate the likelihood of ‘statistical traps’ registered on the network..

The number and level of people's warriors claimed by the North Korean government to save face. Given that it is quite exaggerated.──

-Economic and human damage in North Korea is very minor..

Something is wrong. All information is controlled with perfect and absolute technology. This is a strong artificial intelligence, so such a rudimentary mistake occurred..

The moment when Yappy tried to re-substitute the calculation formula excluding the ‘imaginary number’ claimed by the North Korean government.──

-Satellite observation. Sea level waves occur in nearby waters. Track tracking. Multiple submarine-launched cruise missiles (SLCMs) are approaching..

"ancient?"

Hari is pale. Cruise missiles in the middle of the Pacific? Isn’t this US Navy territory??

-Beep! Beep! Beep!

And as if Yapi's observation was not false, a threat alarm sounded on the chartered plane. With an alert indicating the approach of a missile, US Air Force fighter jets escorting the chartered plane responded immediately..

but──

-Multiple enemy cruise missiles. Avoids all interceptions from friendly aircraft. Transition of interception posture of integrated weapons platform.

Yapi monitored the movements of approaching missiles through satellite observation. Since the interception by US Air Force fighter jets failed, Yapi also began intercepting the missiles using attack satellites..

-Quaa!

-Kwaaah!

A particle cannon falling from space. Hypersonic energy particle cannons, which cannot be avoided by modern scientific civilization, were fired at the approaching missiles..

-Kwaang!

-Kwakwang!

Cruise missiles being intercepted one after another. However, several missiles approached quickly through the smoke of exploding missiles..

-Approaching. 15 seconds to impact.

The moment Yappy posted the report, it was almost at the same time that Leon stretched out his arm and the missile hit the chartered plane..

-Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

With a huge explosion over the Pacific Ocean, Air Force Air Force Unit 2, carrying the Knights of the Pantheon, crashed to sea level..
