My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 235

karma shopping (3)
A mountain village located a short distance from the capital of the Zephyr Republic..
As the main religion is the largest religion on the continent, a prayer center was set up for the residents even in this small town with a small population..
Of course, the people living there were so poor that there was only one trainee priest sent to train and two monks from the village, but no one in the village looked down on this place..
No matter how weak their divine power was at the level of an apprentice priest, they were able to provide first aid sufficiently, and thanks to that, they were in a position to receive the benefits at any time..
Putting faith aside, there was no way anyone would dislike something that was actually helpful in life..
But now, here, inside a prayer center that should be more sacred than anywhere else.—.
A secret meeting of completely ungodly people, not only without permission but without a single shred of religion, was taking place..
“How do you feel about receiving His grace, Obaipo? If you're a vampire, your suitability would be pretty great..”
“Haha, indeed... it's not that bad... When he suddenly came, I thought he was planning another trick.···.”
“I'm sorry. Still, I thought we had built up some trust after hanging out for quite a while..”
Conversations between ungodly people inside the prayer hall with the symbols of the main denomination engraved here and there.
Obaipo, a holy-blooded vampire and the lord of the Obaipo clan that settled in the East.···.
“You were the first to betray that trust, revolutionary. I won't say you're not responsible for the deaths of the Enamel Jester and the Southern Barbarian King.···?”
“I'm sorry about that. Due to urgent circumstances, I had no choice but to cut off contact..”
The biggest culprit that caused the world to fall into such chaos was a revolutionary who founded the Oath of Reverse Heaven..
“That's why you came here to help, even now. If you have that strength, you won't be defeated as easily as others..”
“Hehe... Zephia's commander-in-chief, who would have been the biggest obstacle anyway, has long since been ruled out... I wanted to make him one of my subjects, but it wasn't easy to subdue a warrior who had reached transcendence... It's a shame···.”
The shocking story that even the so-called strongest man of the Republic fell..
Another difficulty was that the warrior had already tolerated the vampires' rule over the Kingdom of Thalia, so it would not be easy to intervene in the secret situation within the Republic..
In addition, the public's attention was divided by the series of incidents that occurred in various places, creating a situation that was advantageous to Obyepo in many ways..
“Can we leave the vice president alone? In fact, that person is probably the leader of the opposition..”
“Hmm, you mean that girl...? She was planning on getting rid of it soon, even if she wasn't, now that she was out of use. She'd have her hands and feet cut off anyway, so there wouldn't be anything she could do.···.”
The reason she left behind, as she had great hostility towards vampires in the first place, was to make it easier to obtain information about those who were against them..
For him, she had been making various arrangements with her for quite some time..
“It's quite relaxing. Knowing that she had already been in contact with the hybrids of the west,.”
“Haha, is that the self-proclaimed vampire king? It's funny... A guy who doesn't know anything about the origins of blood is the king and he's whining about it.···.”
Of course, he had already figured out the movements of the Vice President and Hybrid..
However, he had a sense of trust, and even now that the situation was moving quickly and a collision was just around the corner, he was not worried about it at all..
“No matter what power he has... as long as vampire blood flows through his body, he cannot defeat me, who has obtained the power closest to the original source... Rather, I would like to praise him for doing the troublesome work for me.···.”
Instead of showing concern, they just look excited..
He was truly hoping that the King of Hybrids would come..
The moment I subdue this guy will be the day I get my hands on all the vampires on the continent..
“Now, if you only get the essence of Brokoslak and Eupersch... all the blood vessels of beginning that have been lost so far will come together... Only then will this world face the true vampire king.···!”
Over the years, Obaipo has brought together the heritage of the ‘bloodline of the beginning’ that was cut off and could not be passed on to future generations..
He was filled with joy, dreaming of having perfect blood vessels and reigning over them..
Without even imagining that not only the two bloodlines he was targeting, but also everyone who came under Hybrid's command had long ago lost their purity and been contaminated by vampire factors from other dimensions..

I crossed my arms and glared at the numbers representing the price of the product..
“Hmm.”
3Compared to the overwhelming number of 10 million, it was only 300,000, a change of only 1 percent..
It was my first time actually seeing the numbers change, so I couldn't help but be interested..
‘what? What is that suddenly... Did any of your subordinates get any clues related to that??’
In fact, I was guessing that the pricing was based on the value of the item and the difficulty of obtaining it, but of course, that wasn't 100% certain..
However, looking at the price situation of other general items, it is also true that this is the most reliable inference..
So, it was natural for me to feel that something had brought me closer to ‘that’..
‘Then, if we can figure out what the cause is, we can find out what it is. Then, first check whether any relevant information has been obtained.···.’
However, as I was analyzing the situation so quickly,.
As soon as my thoughts turned to what I had to do next, I realized that it was not as easy as it sounds..
‘Just a window where I can get information right now.···.’
A ghostly intelligence unit scattered across the continent under the control of Olivia, head of intelligence for the Immortal Army..
Hybrid vampires and dark organizations that have permeated the darkness of the world.
The main religious information analysis team exerts influence throughout the continent and collects and provides necessary information..
Informants of the Hubert Chamber of Commerce, organized to collect information on commercial transactions and track the flow of goods..
‘That's not all. There are also ways to obtain information indirectly..’
Harley in the south and Harris on the Enamel Continent were inextricably linked in some way to what happened in their respective territories, and the influence of Hesperon, who was favored by the princess, could not be ignored..
In fact, everyone except Howard, who stays in his room and bangs a hammer, is a great source of information..
‘···The amount of information collected from all over the world at every moment is overwhelming, but there is no way that we can pinpoint anything related to something whose identity we do not know..’
I was lost in thought for a moment, then shook my head and cleared away my worries..
To be honest, it was true that I was interested in that, but it was a waste of my energy to get hung up on something that would never come to a conclusion no matter what..
‘Anyway, 1% won't be that big of a change..’
Whatever it is, if you look at the numbers, isn't it still very far away?.
If something drastically changes, we'll find out one way or another..
What was important to me right now was not such vague issues..
gurgling—
I turned my gaze and looked down at the child, holding a glass bottle with both cute hands and drinking elixir, wearing a large T-shirt like a dress over his bare body..
“Kyaha—!”
A little boy letting out a cool sigh as he takes his mouth off the bottle he has just finished drinking..
Next, he made a hand gesture of rubbing the corners of his mouth with his palm while tasting the salty taste..
Every action he did was so fatally cute..
‘As your body gets younger, does your behavior also get affected??’
Or maybe it was just normal behavior and I felt that way for no reason because of its appearance..
Of course, there was no need to worry about it either way now..
The avatar's personality is unique. It didn't happen for a day or two..
‘In any case, Outerica is more efficient than Earth for rapid growth. However, it is not possible to just send Horus, who is in child form, anywhere alone. Even if only in name, there must be a guardian..’
While he was lost in thought, Hugo quietly opened the door and came in. He approached Horus and began to dress him in the children's clothes from another world that had been delivered to him through "Avatar Cloud.".
It was clothes that Hubert, who was in charge of chores and supplies, had prepared and sent in a hurry..
‘···Yeah, that would be best too..’
And after looking at it and thinking about it, I was able to determine Horus's destination..
A person who is not too big, so people around him don't pay attention to him, but it's not strange even if he brings a child with all kinds of excuses..
‘Tarak with Hubert Trading Company.’
It was the moment when not only chores and supplies but also childcare were added to Hubert's tasks..
***
《Dracalion is looking at you.》
This was the phrase that appeared before Horus' eyes right after he crossed over to this world..
‘Is it the god of dragons??’
It's not something I've seen once or twice, so now it's almost like an annual event with nothing new to see..
‘Now, I feel like it's a shame if there isn't this kind of interest..’
A life that attracts the attention of the gods even though it is limited to another world.
Of course, there was nothing to complain about as I was receiving sufficient support along with a lot of interest..
I'll watch you like that and if I think you like something, I'll give you a little gift..
“Hmm— green onion—!”
Horus took a deep breath and smiled in satisfaction..
‘Anyway, it's definitely different since I come to a world with mana..’
Unlike Earth, which was a wasteland of supernatural abilities and could not feel any energy, the mana that was abundant here was quickly flowing into Dragonheart just by breathing, making him stronger..
I wonder if the growth correction and expensive elixir are really working at a speed that is surprising even to the person involved..
‘On Earth, only recovery of lost energy is possible, and it does not lead to growth..’
So, although the Awakened who returned to Earth could improve their skills by mastering the technology, their own capabilities could not increase..
In fact, the person's limitations are set from the moment he or she returns..
‘That problem has nothing to do with me···.’
Also, he already had several powerful avatars, but they were still not enough..
A stronger, more overwhelming force was needed than before..
At that time, in order to bring down that angel....
And the most anticipated prospect of late is this little dragon right here..
It was Horus, clenching his chubby hands and strengthening his resolve..
‘Of course, it's not like I'm at the stage where I can do anything right now. First, you need to take some time to get used to the dragon's body and abilities..’
This place where he took his first steps in this world was Hubert's personal residence..
Most of the food, clothing, and shelter needs were taken care of by hired people, so it was an optimal environment where you could focus on what you wanted without having to do anything in particular..
‘Okay, then let's get started..’
And Horus lay down on the bed in the dormitory for full-scale training..
“Hmm—ha—.”
Followed by deep breathing and meditation.
He contemplated his body carefully..
He did that for a while in human form, then went back to “polymorph” as a dragon and repeated the same thing..
If you look at it from a distance, you might wonder what that thing is doing, but Horus was carrying out his routine quite seriously..
Also known as Operation Waryong (臥龍)).
A baby dragon locked in a luxury home curled up, dreaming of the day when it could soar..
***
Outerica somewhere.
In a small cave where all kinds of physical and magical concealment measures had been taken so that not a single ray of light could enter..
Rumbling—
With a loud tossing and turning that broke the silence of hundreds of years, a pair of eye lights arose from the darkness and slowly burned..
The being quietly blinked and looked around as if examining the situation, then tilted its head for a moment.···.
[Hmm? This···.]
Soon I felt something and let out a soft exclamation..
The presence of a compatriot so unfamiliar that one cannot tell where it came from suddenly.—.
[···Hey Dracalion!.]
It was so young that it was questionable how it was born at this time, and by their standards, it was close to a newborn baby..
But once he sensed it, he could no longer remain still..
[as you wish.]
We were one step away from the situation on the continent that was becoming a mess..
It happened in a cave on a deserted island..
