My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 338
Shaolin Temple located on Sosilbong Peak in Songshan Mountain.
As expected, once the chaos was somewhat resolved, those who had gathered for the meeting began to leave one by one for their home base..
Some suggested staying at the Shaolin Temple for a while to prepare for any unexpected situation, but this was only limited to a few factions that had suffered a loss of power to the point where it was difficult to move long distances..
Most of them were rushing as much as possible, thinking of going back quickly and taking action..
And it was the same for the Zhuge family and the Namgung family..
From the beginning, the Zhuge Dynasty, whose main strategy was defensive tactics using fighting techniques rather than pure martial arts, did not suffer much damage even in the attack of the Demonic Cult, and even the Namgung Family, which was a master of martial arts and was in good health, had enough power to overflow..
‘It was said that the fight with the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor ended in a tie. Then he must be leading the demon cultists who have now retreated..’
Hugo quietly looked at the people preparing to leave for the long journey..
The Heavenly Demon has already been dealt with, but there are still a lot of remnants left that cannot be ignored..
In the current situation, in order to strike them down quickly and quickly,···.
“Ha Confucius!”
As I was organizing my thoughts, a now familiar voice passed by my ears..
Even though everyone was busy amidst the chaos, Namgung Soran made sure to come by once a day to say hello..
“···Please take care of yourself. If you ever want to leave the Zhuge family, please consider our Namgung family as well.!”
Now both three were about to return..
Considering the worst traffic in this world, it would be no different from a separation with no guarantee of when we will meet again..
“Still, the Zhuge family and the Namgung family are not that far away and they often interact. So that I can come see you then···.”
Of course, that was just her personal greed..
The distance between the two families was twice that of the Shaolin Temple and the Zhuge Dynasty..
After saying goodbye to Namgung So-ran, whom I regretted until the end, I also said goodbye to the other people I had made here..
In the process, we were able to check the current status of Mo In-gwang, who is now called 'Nine Gwang-ma', and it seems that he plans to stay at Shaolin Temple for the time being..
Well, he was interested in Harley, the 'God of Light' who suddenly disappeared, so it would have been reasonable to wait here and separate from him in order to avoid conflict in the future..
‘···Rather, Shin Gwangma. What is that ambiguous naming? Ah, I should have stayed here and nailed it to the ground.!’
But it's already too late to vent your anger now..
In the first place, the nickname is not what you call yourself, but what people in the world call you..
Maybe Harley would have tried to correct him by directly scolding him here, but there was no way to do anything when the person involved was away..
‘If we don't do something before that star name is completely established,···.’
Of course, there was nothing Hugo could do right now..
Of course, now he—.
“···Sega has a problem. Everyone, throw away all the luggage you don't need right away. We will move as quickly as possible.”
We had to quickly start a forced march following those who had heard the sad news of Sega through communication through magic..
A whirlwind of upheaval was swirling throughout the world..
***
And in the midst of that whirlwind of upheaval.
Tian Shan Mountains in Xinjiang Province.
“···Hehehe, I finally found it. You were hiding here—.”
A black figure floating in the sky looked down at the foot of the mountain and smiled grimly..
As I take in the sight of a small city nestled in one corner of this enormous mountain range,.
‘That's amazing. To build a city of that size in these rugged mountains. In addition, the entire area is surrounded by a formation, so if it weren't for the "Eye of the Abyss", it would have taken longer to find it..’
Hans stroked his chin and let out a soft exclamation..
It was a completely independent environment in all respects, equipped with not only arable land for farming but also large-scale livestock sheds..
It's only small in size, but it could easily be considered a city-state..
As expected, it was a majesty worthy of the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church, the largest, strongest, and worst force in the Kangwhan world, in name and reality, far beyond the level of the giant Segana Daemun Sect..
‘Of course, that's of no use to me..’
A glint filled with abyss burst from his eyes..
The eyeball-shaped part of the chimera couldn't resist the momentary explosion of energy and continued to squirm, but under Hans' strong control, it managed to regain its original form and quietly stayed in the eye socket..
“Haha, then let’s start lightly.?”
With a low laugh, a terrible magical energy that seemed to cover the entire mountain range began to overflow from his body..
A terrifying force that far surpasses that of the Heavenly Demon, who was the ruler of this land not long ago..
Gooooo—
The clear sky suddenly became dark.
Before he knew it, under a sky covered with dark clouds, darkness fell on all the land his eyes could reach..
“——!”
“——?!”
I felt chaos spreading throughout the city..
Hans... The Absolute One who crossed the dimension and reached the Gangwon Realm solemnly declared..
[“Listen, mortals trapped in the backwaters.”]
so that they can properly understand the situation.
[“I am the lord of all the demons in the world.”]
Don't even dare look at yourself.
Rumbling—!
While the thunder that came from between the dark clouds shook all around,.
The godman who brought about all these miracles imprinted his existence on this world..
[“Honor the new king of demons.”]
Just like that, the devil came to the Heavenly Demon Church..
***
There were many similarities between dragons and dragons, but the differences were even more evident..
Just as the basic raw materials are the same, but the results are completely different depending on the intermediate process,.
‘The biggest thing among them is that the birth of a dragon is not limited to just innate aspects..’
Unlike dragons, who continue their race only through blood, there was the possibility of becoming a dragon through birth..
Just as the Imoogi who trained for a thousand years turns into a dragon and ascends to heaven..
Of course, it was a possibility, but the probability was extremely slim, so it almost never happened, but 0 and 1 were completely different..
However, with such an acquired method, it can only become a dragon species belonging to a separate category, such as a chicken-headed dragon, a cow-headed dragon, or a winged dragon..
The red dragon, blue dragon, white dragon, black dragon, and yellow dragon, collectively known as the Five Dragons, have been passed down only through bloodlines..
The abilities of the dragons who had built up their ranks through training were not that much inferior to the five dragons, but the mystery that had been accumulated and passed down through blood could never be ignored..
In a way, it was natural that those who inherited the name of Oh Ryong would occupy the leadership positions in charge of decision-making on Geumo Island for generations..
And now, two of those leaders···.
“···cute.”
“Wow, adventure! That guy is such a shame..”
I was completely captivated by a kid who appeared out of nowhere..
The blue dragon keeps stroking Horus' head with a happy smile, and the red dragon can't take his eyes off him while continuously clearing his throat..
Right now, he was sitting on a pavilion in an elegant forest, receiving endless affection before all sorts of delicacies..
‘It works better than I thought.’
Horus, who was flattered as if he had never been embarrassed by such an excessive reaction, stopped trembling, shrugged his shoulders and held his head high..
“now. Horus? Would you like to try this too? The best pig in Geumodo Island, who raised a pig by feeding it spirit food, even served as a servant in the imperial palace.···.”
“Don't just eat meat, eat this too. Boiled 10,000 years of sewage with honey from Okbong (玉蜂)···.”
Delicious food was poured into my mouth without stopping..
Horus ate them with an arrogant expression and recalled the events that had happened since he appeared here on Geumo Island..
‘I never thought it would turn out this well.’
Horus suddenly appears without any warning.
Harley did it in a way that was going to go wrong anyway, but of course trespassing into Geumo Island's territory without permission was definitely not something that could be easily overlooked..
It was a situation that could have become serious enough if it had been raised as an issue.···.
‘It wasn't a problem.’
There is only one reason.
Because he was now the only ‘yellow dragon’ left in this world..
‘Oh my gosh, it's the same in Outerica and it's the same here. How can the Gold clan become extinct wherever they go??’
But if you think about it, it wasn't a coincidence..
Hwangryong was the head of the five dragons and the head of the entire Geumgo Island in the Kangwhan world, and the same was true in Outerica, which shares a similar source..
Naturally, from the perspective of plotting the destruction of the world, this means that they are the clan that must be dealt with first..
Among all dragons, the immortal kings of the past hunted the Gold clan, which was the bloodline of the Lords of the time, especially persistently, and the same was true for Beoncheonhoeju, who invaded the Ganghwan world and stole the dragon's heart..
‘That guy didn't just come in and snatch away the defenseless hero..’
To the outside world, it was known only as a winged stranger who caused a bloodbath in the imperial palace and took on the dragon's spirit, but behind the scenes in the hidden world, there was fierce resistance from many people..
The human forces centered around the royal family, including a few absolute experts, and the monster forces centered around Geumgodo..
‘The problem is that even after going that far, we lost in the end. Come to think of it, I heard that the original owner of the martial arts eight trigrams that Harris learned was also attacked by that guy..’
The cause was that the Beoncheonhoeju did not move alone, but the dark world of the Demonic Cult that had been operating in secret for a long time was added..
The spies and brainwashing planted here and there led to a situation where even our own troops could not be easily trusted, and due to the dark forces rampant from all directions, we could not carelessly gather our strength..
As a result - not only did the imperial family lose its power and its power was torn apart, but many masters lost their lives and the world fell into chaos..
In Geumo-do, the bloodline of the Yellow Dragon was annihilated, and most of the dragons and even the highest commanding officers such as Kirin (麒麟) and Hyeonmu (玄武) passed away..
“Yummy yum... So? So what are the other surviving dragons doing now??”
Horus listened to the story with interest, his little mouth licking..
The purpose of coming here in the first place, gathering information... was achieved very easily.!
I'm just taking what's given to me.!
“The white and black dragons enter the Dragon Temple to maintain the broken balance. There are also those who can add strength to it..”
“We were there not long ago. It's not a place where you can just endure. If you don't take turns periodically and save up your strength, you won't be able to last long and you'll die..”
“···In fact, some people have already died..”
“If we continue like this, we won't be able to last much longer. That's why I clung to the message from the Dragon God that could solve this situation.···.”
Horus nodded slightly..
I thought I could roughly guess why they reacted so sensitively to Harley..
He looked briefly at Harley, who was wandering around the outskirts of Geumo Island under the guidance of Cheonggwan, and then focused on this again..
Of course, it couldn't have been just because they thought it was cute for them to treat me like this, a dragon from another world..
That's why you act so excessively because you want everything.···.
Fall, fall, fall—
“It's fascinating. Could it be that cheeks can stretch like glutinous rice cakes like this??”
“Red Dragon, I'm eating and I can't do it if you disturb me too much..”
“Stop braiding your hair and tell me. Even if it's not the body, what can you do to a boy??”
“But look at this hair. It's prettier this way?”
···is not it?
Is this because you're really cute??
It was around this time that Horus began to seriously consider the charms of the devil, which he himself did not know about..
“Huh, I never thought that the dragon slayer was the guide of the yellow dragon. Of course, it is quite different from the yellow dragon of this world.···.”
“Yes, I can't believe it, but it seems like enough to take on the yellow dragon's karma. That should be enough for now.”
“oh my god. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a lump of blood that is not even half that old... no, does that make sense? What kind of world is this child born in that makes this possible??”
Serious conversations began between them again..
And it was at that time that the story about the ‘dragon child’ that I wanted to know so much about came out..
“Uh, so... they're sacrifices? To rebuild the lost courage of this world?”
“okay. It's literally a living sacrifice. The great and mighty Dragon God himself arranged it..”
“red dragon···.”
“joy.”
Yongsin, the main deity of Kang Hwan-gye.
That being, who had always been watching how the world was going, immediately came up with a plan to solve the situation and spread it around the world the moment his courage was torn away by the Lord of the Buncheonhoe..
No matter how permissive he was, he was a god in name and color of one level..
As a result, the 'solution' was embedded in the fetuses of several pregnant women living on the dragon vein, which has the strongest energy after the dragon heart, all over the continent..
They are the children of the dragon.
It was a living sacrifice that was forced to be sacrificed for the world even before birth..
“···The place for that ceremony is the Dragon Shrine, and the priest who will perform it is our Oryong..”
“Isn't it absurd? But what can I do? The Dragon God told me to do that. He probably doesn't care how we feel.”
Horus nodded blankly at the words of the red dragon, who was now openly hostile..
I could totally understand why she behaved that way..
‘···Wow, there is no such thing as real recognition..’
I knew from the beginning that God was like that..
A world manager with a will too great to be a personality..
Although they are conveniently divided into good gods and evil gods according to their basic tendencies, they were not beings that could be judged from the perspective of mortals in the first place..
‘···This is a pain in the ass.’
The relationships shared here flashed through his mind..
-“I will be working hard here, so Confucius Xia, please tell me about what happened there. It's a promise?”
-“I am indebted to you today as well. Thank you, God. This grace will surely come someday···.”
Horus frowned and sighed..
Somehow, things were resolved too easily..
