My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 281

technological revolution (3)
A large room with a somewhat heavy air..
There were many magnificent paintings hanging all over the wide wall..
Creatures bowing down on the ground and beings looking down on them from the sky.
People running away from storms and tsunamis and giants laughing and laughing as they watch from above the huge waves..
A woman embracing a sick person with a warm smile, engulfed in light, etc.···.
Although the techniques and styles were different, the subject matter that the paintings were trying to convey was the same..
It is a work that expresses the relationship between God and humans..
Click—
In a space that exuded such reverence, a strange mouse clicking sound that did not fit the place resonated softly..
“Warlock Hahoe Mask.”
Soon a soft female voice followed..
Meanwhile, in the office, which can be reached only after passing the displayed paintings, all kinds of data photos appeared on the computer monitor provided there..
Starting with CCTV captures, a giant bone dragon filmed in Japan, and finally the messy interior of a Shanghai building..
“vampire heinz.”
The clicking sound of the mouse rang once again, and someone else's movements appeared on the screen..
The process from friction with the clan to security activities under the name of Phantom was clearly organized..
“Unidentified Paladin.”
The next data that came to mind was not much compared to the previous ones..
It's all about just one incident..
It was all about the miraculous event that occurred in the large hospital terrorist attack..
“In less than half a year, three new special alert subjects have appeared in one country. Even trying to figure out their whereabouts was a failure.···.”
With the sound of the mouse harmonized with the voice of a woman speaking lazily, the data on the monitor moved quickly..
President of the Korean Returnees Association, Jiyoon Yoon, head of the southern Seoul branch, secret agents of the Ability Management Bureau, etc.···.
After checking the list of all Korean nationality subjects identified so far, she finally blurted out one word..
“It's cheap to die.”
It was a cold tone that did not contain even an inch of sympathy..
After all, no matter how much I checked, the conclusion was nothing more or less than incompetence..
‘···But first, I have to finish what I wanted to do. It's not like I have no relationship with this side at all..’
Data that was once passed on the monitor screen was displayed again..
An armor montage that was drawn not only by a witness but also by many other witnesses..
She looked at it quietly for a moment and then quickly got up from her seat..
‘It's good to have more like-minded comrades. Especially if that being is capable..’
A strange smile appeared on the scribe's lips, a woman with gray hair..
“···For the salvation of this world.”
same time.
An investigation team from the Pantheon headquarters dispatched from the United States arrived in Korea..

“If you do this... like this···!”
Howard studied abroad on Earth for about 10 days, Outerica time..
As soon as he returned, he immediately locked himself in his studio..
And immediately began work to apply the new knowledge gained through the “technological revolution” to this world..
I have already figured out all the principles of the necessary technology..
I fully understand why such results occur..
All he needs is an intermediate step to reach that conclusion..
Of course, at the moment, it was not possible to reproduce the level of technology of “Mechanism: Callicas”..
Of course, even a dwarf couldn't fully understand that level of cutting-edge technology in just a few days..
‘Actually, the most efficient way is to try it yourself.···.’
But you can't just pluck out a healthy eye to save a little time, right??
Although the objective specifications themselves may be inferior, the dwarves have a much better eye for production..
In fact, that was why the artificial eye was immediately handed over to Hesperon..
‘Now that I have a rough grasp of the concept, the rest will take care of itself. If actual usage data is added, it won’t take that long..’
Howard was a man who always had the natural qualities he was born with, various growth corrections, and the effect of the precious 'elixir of growth'..
By the standards of ordinary humans, it is a level of irrationality that is not enough to even be called a genius..
And as always.
Leading the world's transformation has always been the responsibility of a very small number of geniuses..
“···done.”
It's been a few days since I stayed in the workshop and devoted myself to work..
He was thrilled to see a small metal gauntlet in front of him..
The near-futuristic exterior with its silvery, smooth surface and flowing curves was illuminated by the light of the furnace, creating a strange atmosphere..
“Phew, then where.”
Howard looked at it as if fascinated for a moment, then without hesitation put it on his left hand..
As a test, I made it from the beginning to a size that perfectly fit my arm, so the gauntlet was tight from my fingertips to my elbow..
‘Comfortable to wear is not bad.’
Howard walked to the experiment space in the corner of the workshop..
There, metal plates of various materials made to test product performance were lined up tightly fixed..
‘Since it's my first time, let's take it easy..’
The material is steel and the thickness is about a span.···.
After finishing preparing for the test, he took a deep breath and clasped his left hand..
Geek
Chii Iik—
Compressed energy injected through the nozzle along with the sound of metal rubbing.
At the same time, the magicite attached to the inside of the wrist glowed, and the solid lines of light extending from it covered the entire gauntlet like a circuit on the board..
‘I'm going right away!’
Howard was a 100% pure craftsman who had never been in a fight, but such trivial things did not matter to the avatar who shared everyone's experiences..
The small, sturdy body of the dwarf stepped on the ground with perfect posture, and the impact was transmitted to the fist through the rotation of the elastic waist and shoulders..
“Eurachacha!”
Puhuaak—!
The moment the fist is extended, a torrent of energy is sprayed from the elbow like a rocket.—.
right after that.
Wow!—!
A strong gust of wind swept through the studio, accompanied by a loud noise that shook the workshop..
“Cough! Cough!”
Howard coughed at the flying dust and furrowed his brows..
‘Uh, maybe this is a bit excessive.···?’
Needless to say, nagging.
He was extremely excited and rushed forward, but then he realized the situation and made an awkward expression..
Of course it was already too late.
bang!
“what? Who are you! Is it an attack? Howard! Are you okay? howard!”
Following the sound of rushing, Zaonic burst through the workshop door, holding a large hammer and glaring in all directions..
His vigilance continued until the moment he made eye contact with Howard beyond the dust flying everywhere..
“······?”
“···Well, this is it. Hehehehe!”
Howard, firmly supporting the ground with both feet and extending one arm forward, raised his fist in a perfect posture that could be found in a textbook, and burst into embarrassed laughter..
I was struggling to get my left arm out, completely penetrating a hand-thick steel plate..
‘···It won't fall out. It would be a big deal if this happened in real life, but this is a problem. Reverse injection may also be necessary..’
Amidst the busy footsteps of the workshop guards starting to flock in,.
Howard struggled to keep his thoughts on something else and slowly avoided looking at Zaonic, who was slowly frowning..
It was an extremely ordinary and smooth development site..
***
While Howard's study abroad on Earth and technological development continued, time passed quickly in Outerica..
A huge event that was bound to affect everyone on the continent - the Pope's funeral was completed successfully, and the unofficial 3rd Continental Summit that followed was also concluded smoothly..
“Since it was a meeting, there were only obvious things to say..”
King Heinz II sank into a soft chair and quietly closed his eyes, lost in thought..
Of course he wasn't there.
Duke Bright was simply dispatched as an agent of the Kingdom of Thalia..
No matter how amicable their relationship has been recently, isn't it strange that the king of vampires would personally attend the Pope's funeral??
‘It was also a busy time..’
Not long ago, he had to care about Outerica and Earth at the same time..
Recently, for various reasons, even Heinz cannot afford to go to Earth, so Phantom activities have naturally gone on hiatus.···.
‘No, if you actually think about it, it’s not like I’m free even now..’
No matter how capable you were of leaving most of the work to the crew, you couldn't just sit there and do it as a captain..
Since he recently ascended to the position of Vampire King by absorbing Obaipo, the fate of not only the nation but also the race itself has become dependent on him, so the amount of work that needs to be checked in person is enormous.?
If it weren't for the management privilege "Monarch's Power" that I got while achieving the Vampire King achievement, I would have been busy spending my days without even having time to think about anything else..
It was also true that most things were going smoothly thanks to that privilege..
‘However, if there is one thing that bothers me,···.’
Of course, not everything went as he intended..
The search for a missing person is taking longer than expected, and it's about Vice President Kayla McClair's son..
The task of investigating all the vampires in Obaipo, which I thought would be completed quickly, was taking longer than expected..
Of course there was a good reason for that..
‘Who would have thought that a revolutionary was directly involved in that matter?.’
A being arrived at after persistent pursuit..
Coincidentally, the leader of the oath of the now dead, the revolutionary, was at the end..
‘···Anyway, he's not helpful..’
Of course, no matter how much he controlled the continent's intelligence organizations with one hand, he couldn't continue tracking in this situation..
This guy was someone that even Hans had a hard time tracking down, so it was absurd to track his movements from over 20 years ago..
Although it's uncomfortable, I can't help but assume that he was sacrificed in some kind of ritual..
‘Still, I'll try to keep track of it. Since I personally took revenge, I guess I have something to say to Kayla..’
The giant who appeared in the Kingdom of Tulk and attacked Tarak was the revolutionary himself..
It just so happened that he took revenge on me..
If you do this, you will be able to save some face..
“Then next.”
Heinz, who was muttering like that, kept his mouth shut..
It was safe to say that he had already achieved the first goal he set for himself: uniting the vampires and Yang Ji-hwa..
If nothing special happens, it will probably take care of itself if you leave it like this..
So, what should Heinz II aim for now??
What should I aim for in the future??
‘···Is it almost time?.’
The work he had to do in Outerica was roughly finished..
Then, isn’t the next step obvious?!
“earth.”
If you think about it, now was the perfect time..
The Buncheonhoe's branch, which oversees all of East Asia, had disappeared..
Those guys who have become so sensitive must be paying close attention to that area by now..
‘Hans, the subject of caution, left Korea and set foot in China, which was his home. They won't just stay like this either..’
In addition, although it was unintentional, the Holy Knight Heinrich, who had been a hot topic before the reappearance of Hahoetal, was also one of their interests..
Didn't he figure out, through fragments of the Ruler's memory, the circumstances of his attempt to cooperate with a guy named Seo Gwan, the head of the branch in North America?.
‘If the memory loss hadn't been so severe, I would have known more clearly..’
It was unfortunate, but it was unavoidable..
For now, I guess I'll have to be satisfied with the fact that I knew in advance that the scribe was in an important position in the Pantheon..
Anyway, one thing was certain: if their attention turned to East Asia in pursuit of Hans and Heinrich, the other side would become even a little more lax than usual..
I don't know how effective it will be considering the size of these guys, but it's still a good idea to take advantage of whatever you can get..
‘That way, no matter what trap there is, you will definitely be able to break it..’
Heinz, who was sitting quietly, had a cold look in his eyes..
It was an opportunity to overcome the limitations that blocked the future and grow to the next level..
But you can't just keep running away every time you feel a little dangerous, right?!
Finally, Heinz gathered his thoughts and quietly stood up..
Then he licked his lips and whispered softly as if declaring to himself..
“Then let’s go. to Europe.”
The land where vampires are strongest on Earth.
To the culinary capital of the world.
