Chapter 345

< Pantheon (4) >

As I have said repeatedly, the Pantheon was not a very tight-knit organization as each member had different doctrines and beliefs..

The only bond that existed between them was that they were all priests who worshiped God..

For example, it was more like an organization created with the intention of respecting each other among business partners working in the same industry and resolving problems amicably without causing embarrassment..

But of course, not all religions could accept such a moderate appeasement..

A religious denomination that believes in one faith and rejects all worship of other idols as heresy.

A denomination that is impossible to integrate in modern society because it prefers inhumane rituals such as human sacrifice.

The nature of the deity they serve is biased towards evil spirits, so there are denominations that are plotting the end of the world, etc..

For various reasons, the number of those who were priests but did not belong to the pantheon and were active separately was not very small..

Of course, if it had simply stopped at that level, it could have ended with just keeping a close eye on them.···.

The problem was that there were a significant number of spies hiding in the Pantheon, hiding that they were followers of the evil god..

Naturally, the purpose of those who sneaked in with such intentions was not very good..

Yeah, for example—.

Like the secretary who is the head of the North American branch of the Buncheon Society.

“Well, what Brother Heinrich said was···.”

Jason Priest stroked his beard with a heavy expression..

“You are saying that the followers of the evil god, who are the liaisons of the organization called the Buncheonhoe, are working secretly in the Pantheon right now. And that too at a very high level..”

He nodded with a serious face, as if asking when he had been interrogating and pushing the other person..

Even after wiping his eyes, he couldn't see the skeptical expression he had just a little while ago about Heinrich's claim..

“Yes. They are the world's evil itself, leading countless dimensions to destruction. I can't even imagine how deep the roots are. ···Perhaps the Pantheon is not the only place that has been touched..”

Heinrich's confident voice rang out in the audience, and the faces of those present became serious..

That's how persuasive his remarks were on a different level than before..

This is all···.

“Ahem.”

It was all thanks to that blonde kid who looked down on the audience arrogantly with his arms crossed with an uncharacteristically solemn expression..

A child who looks only six or seven years old on the outside..

However, most of the people present were not foolish enough to judge others simply by looking at their appearance..

‘No matter how I look at it, I can't believe it. But this enormous magical power···.’

‘It's a dragon... Even in the world I've been to, it was nothing more than a legend, but I never thought I'd see something like this on Earth. That's something to see if you live a long time in this world..’

‘Tremendous energy. If it can build up this much power, it's definitely not a young dragon. Is that appearance a means of distracting oneself? Or just personal preference?’

Undeniable evidence that beings from another dimension came to Earth.

Not only was it enough to witness that unprecedented moment, but with the person involved standing right in front of us, the weight of the words uttered by the person who performed such a miracle could not help but become that much heavier..

Moreover, wasn't Heinrich a user of divine power who could even be called a saint??

‘In other words, what I say is not simply something I say as an individual. It is no different than spreading the word with the majesty of God on your back..’

Heinrich nodded slowly, looking around at the people next to him and those who were loudly discussing their opinions..

First of all, we succeeded in impressing them with the topic as originally planned..

‘As it is, it goes to the regular method. Of course this is the best for now.’

This was an opportunity when the Buncheonhoe bastards had not yet made any active moves..

The passive response to Heinrich, who had already come to the fore, may also be due to the fact that they have not yet had a proper sense of what and how much he knows..

But that won't last long.

‘They won't stay still either. But this should at least get you off your feet..’

No matter what anyone says, the Buncheonhoe was a global... no, pan-dimensional, mega-organization that had been established on this earth for a long time..

No matter how much he used his hands here and there to absorb various forces, there was little chance of victory just by fighting in the shadows..

For that reason, didn't he first aim to bring to light the existence of the Buncheonhoe??

‘And Heinrich's role is to tank and attract the aggro of those who come to the surface..’

Isn’t this mission a perfect fit for his position as a paladin?!

Of course, that didn't mean I was going to fight with them by just trying to be fair and sunny..

Anyway, I already had a lot of avatars ready that could move in the dark..

‘Beoncheonhoeju. I don't know if I'm on Earth right now, or in another world.···.’

Among the misfortunes, fortunately, he had already achieved considerable godhood and could not move carelessly on this earth..

Even if he is on Earth, he is probably stuck in an isolated place and occasionally receives information from outside through his subordinates..

‘···I will destroy everything you have built up until now, one by one. Don't worry about the rest of the world anymore.’

A bright light flashes in Heinrich's eyes as he clenches his fists..

Horus, standing next to him, nodded his small head with firm determination..

After such an unexpected uproar, the meeting between various observers and Saint Henry of the Other World proceeded smoothly without any further delay..

***

<impact! A dragon appears in the middle of Seoul!>

<Fantasy magic? Transformation ability? Returnee Association said, “No, this is the real situation.”!”>

<The sudden appearance of a dragon paralyzes traffic in the surrounding area. It was confirmed that there was property damage and injuries. The amount of damage will be compensated by White Knight.···.>

Of course, the aftermath of the dragon commotion that appeared in the middle of the city did not subside easily..

The person involved, Horus, had leisurely enjoyed his time in human form and then returned to the world of power, but the controversy over him, which had already become a topic of global interest, had only just begun in earnest..

-and;; This is my first time seeing a real dragon since I was born haha.

└Who wouldn't? Even among the returnees who are said to be quite strong, there are a lot of people who say they haven't seen it..

└ㅇㅇ I'm returning home, but I can't see it either. Aside from the fact that I'm weak, it wasn't in our world to begin with..

└I saw it... but it's so different from what I remember so I can't say anything. What I saw then was something like a pterosaur that was only about 5 meters tall..

└Isn't that a wyvern, not a dragon??

└ㅁㄹFirst of all, the people there said it was a dragon through the system's automatic translation..

Everything related to him became a hot topic, regardless of whether it was an ordinary person or an awakened person..

In fact, something that could not be helped was the incident where a dragon as large as several tens of meters actually appeared and disappeared while swimming over Seoul..

It is only natural that it receives this much attention..

- But I have a question: Do dragons normally carry something that looks like Yeouiju in their mouths? Or is he something special??

└Ah, I was curious about this too..

└But is that really Yeouiju? Aren’t they just similar in appearance??

- Information) Even among races that look similar, the characteristics of each world are subtly different, so it is impossible to give a definitive answer. I can't help but wonder if that's the dimension the dragon originally came from..

-But it's funny haha. What is the dragon that carries around Yeouiju? What a horrible hybrid.

Meanwhile, the Yeouiju that Horus was holding became a hot topic, but that interest did not last long..

The dragons of Outerica had already suffered damage to the point of extinction and had been in hiding for a long time, and there was almost no one on Earth who knew detailed information about them..

The problem now was that, given the nature of the incident, the disturbance in Korea quickly spread throughout the world..

Actually, I hoped it would turn out that way from the beginning.···.

-Oh! Oh my god, what is that? Dragon? It's a real dragon?

-In which country was it filmed? china? Could it be that it was fabricated again? You have to be able to trust that news..

└It's called Korea. This is the base of the dark heroes Korean Smile Face and Phantom. And that's a video recorded live on the platform..

-I never thought I would be able to see a real dragon on video in my lifetime! God must have granted my wish. Now I wish I could see that dragon with my own eyes..

The interest and admiration of countless people.

Of course, there was not only a positive side to that reaction..

<Mexican superman Carlos declares, “I will be the first dragon slayer on Earth.”.>

<How much is the value of this astronomical dragon by-product? Let’s learn about Korea’s gold dragon, which is coveted even abroad..>

<Overseas powerful people are entering Korea one after another, saying it is just ‘tourism’. At the same time, the government is concerned that public security will worsen as smuggling attempts begin to ramp up..>

···Perhaps it was too much of aggro, but it was a little troublesome that interest in Horus itself grew more than the background of his appearance..

Well, the body of the giant gold dragon itself was the best material available on Earth, so it could not be helped..

‘Of course, I have no intention of seeing it that way..’

This place in Korea was entirely its own territory..

We can't let greedy strangers install whatever they want..

Therefore, special measures had to be taken to maintain public order in this land..

wow—

“Wow!”

A strong grip tightened the leash..

A Western man caught in the air continued to struggle, his feet not touching the floor, but the hand holding his neck did not move at all, as if it were an industrial vise..

“···Tsk, I thought he was a guy who was so arrogant that he had some tricks up his sleeve..”

After the struggling man finally sank down with a pale, bloodless complexion,.

A cold voice echoed in the alley..

The owner of the voice turned around indifferently, throwing the corpse in his hand into a corner where several corpses were already piled up..

-“It's me, Jin So-ran.”

-“yes, load!”

-“Send the guys who will clean up after us here. Let me tell you the location.”

-“All right! Recently, I was worried about the increase in the number of awakened people secretly entering the country, but I am glad that Lord came at the right time. I guess people from other countries tend to look at me a little funny. A frog in a well trapped in a small country.”

-“It's funny. Do they think they are different?.”

-“Well, if rumors start to spread that the guys who were trying to pull off a trick are disappearing without even knowing, the other guys won't be able to do anything rashly either. Wouldn’t that make things a little easier??”

-“well.”

Heinz II, a new-blooded vampire who was busy managing his subordinates between two worlds, clicked his tongue and shook his head..

These guys were not driven by such rational thinking..

There will definitely be a lot of people who will bother you with their groundless confidence..

-“Then I will continue to look at the situation. Report if anything goes wrong.”

-“Yes, loaded! Then I guess I'll have to check the heterosis and clan again. Don't let friction arise on our side first because of unnecessary bloodshed..”

-“yes, please take care of me.”

Right after the communication with Jin So-ran ended,.

When he took just one step forward, his location suddenly changed from a back alley to the rooftop of a nearby high-rise building..

Heinz quietly looked down from the rooftop with a view of the nearby area..

What's so busy in this chaos? People moving around and cars coming and going on the road..

But what he saw now was something completely different from those everyday scenes..

“···The heat is unusual. I don't think this is a natural phenomenon..”

Heinz muttered in a low tone..

As his blood-red eyes scanned his son-in-law, I felt the threads of cause and effect that filled this land writhing and tangling..

The sudden appearance of a dragon and the influx of external strongmen..

It was definitely part of the natural flow, but···.

There was something else involved beyond that..

It was a trace of someone whose identity was so faint that even he couldn't be sure yet..

‘Is it Buncheonhoe?.’

Now, there was no need to wrap my head around the fact that it was so obvious..

From their point of view, this current situation would be an opportunity to take advantage of the surrounding trend and naturally use their hands in Korea..

‘···Hmm, I roughly expected that too..’

For example, the current situation meant that all eyes in the world were turned to this direction, the Republic of Korea..

All organizations around the world... yes, even the Buncheonhoe.

‘Then let's get started.’

And as if to catch you off guard.

There was a being who had just set foot on American soil from the other side of the world..

***

Western United States, San Francisco, California.

“···Hmm, is it this place?···.”

As if he were a participant in some secret gathering, a strange man dressed in a robe that looked suspicious to anyone and wearing a hood pulled down slowly raised his head from the darkness..

A large temple-shaped building caught his eye..

Headquarters of the Pantheon, a world-religious union.

The starlight in the eyes of the monster facing the target twinkled..
