Chapter 442

Black Dragon Society (4)

The Black Dragon Society was smoothly incorporated into Masquerade's affiliated organization thanks to the full cooperation of its leader, the Black Dragon Lord..

I kept a close eye on them, wondering if they were up to something, but I couldn't find anything suspicious about them..

As the Black Dragon Master himself said, all he wanted to do was contact this side and join them..

But I couldn't completely relax..

Just in case, a dark spirit who became a vampire and came under Heinz's control was dispatched, so if any problem arises, he will be able to respond immediately..

Considering their usefulness, it was best to just react like this for now and wait for a while..

‘Anyway, I had no intention of fully trusting it from the beginning. Because you never know where a spy might be found..’

That applies not only to the Black Dragon Society that joined this time, but also to all other organizations..

Including all the vampire clans based in Europe, the Blazing Torch operating in Southeast Asia, and new intelligence agents recruited by Harley himself..

All organizations maintained strict independence and surveillance systems to prevent betrayal in one place from affecting others..

You are the only one who clearly understands and directly controls their situation..

Although it was cumbersome, it was absolutely necessary to keep in check the Beoncheonhoe, which was exerting influence over the entire planet behind the shadows of the world..

‘Although it cannot be compared to the Buncheonhoe, it is a great harvest to have a well-established Black Dragon Society in China. No matter what, they are guaranteed to have the ability to survive in a land ruled by them..’

In addition, as a former branch leader, reaping the Black Dragon Master who knew them well was an unexpected gain..

In addition, as originally expected, I have obtained a key that compiles numerous martial arts levels and will be of great help in Hugo's growth.···.

It was a situation that could only be said to be beneficial in many ways..

“Phew.”

However, I did not feel very comfortable sitting on the massage chair and quietly closing my eyes as usual..

Because of something I learned from the Black Dragon Master,.

“Half of the humans on Earth...? under! I'm going crazy.”

That alone was a huge number, reaching billions of dollars..

Even that number is just a minimum estimate..

It was a dangerous plan that could result in the death of up to 90% of humanity..

When I heard more details from the Black Dragon Master.

I had to admit that what he said was not an exaggeration..

‘He said he would destroy other dimensions and pour all the stolen energy onto Earth at once.?’

In this way, new mysteries are sprouting in this land that is barren of supernatural abilities..

That was their final goal, as told by the Black Dragon Lord, and set forth by the Lord of the Heavenly Order..

“It's scarier that it's not a joke.”

It could not be said that it was simply a human problem..

I'm not just saying this; a shock equivalent to the destruction of the world will truly sweep the entire Earth..

It wasn't for nothing that the Earth was called a wasteland of supernatural abilities..

Among the many dimensions known so far, there were worlds with environments and civilizations similar to this one..

However, there has never been a land like Earth where the mystery has completely dried up not only for humans but also for animals, plants, and minerals..

‘If a huge amount of energy suddenly flows into this world where there is no resistance to supernatural powers except for a small number of awakened people,···.’

Terraforming, which completely destroys the foundation of the world.).

Those who could not adapt to the violent changes had no choice but to die..

Of course, Beoncheonhoeju was trying his best to reduce the sacrifice as much as possible, as if he had no intention of completely destroying the world..

The problem is that it is not that different from the act of offering a living sacrifice in the form of terrorism that has taken place around the world..

‘Is this the sacrifice of a cow for the greater good?.’

Before I knew it, my grip tightened..

I couldn't help but feel bad because I had become that sacrificed 'cow' against my will..

Still, thanks to this, minerals and other inorganic substances can embrace their mysteries without much trouble, and only a certain percentage of plants and animals will mutate into monsters and will not go completely extinct..

The problem was humans, the only intelligent being on Earth and the most complex life form..

‘Is it true that half of humans achieve the best results that way?.’

I relaxed my tight grip, massaged my eyes, and let out a small sigh..

Even though my body was already well above the level of an ordinary human, I felt like I was getting tired for some reason..

‘Why? Why on earth would you do something like that? Why do you already have that much power??’

I could understand it if another awakened person said that..

It was a story that had nothing to do with me as I was still straddling multiple dimensions, but it was not uncommon for those who returned to Earth to feel a sense of loss at their suddenly stagnant growth..

There were quite a few people who regretted returning to Earth, so it was not strange that they wanted to change this world and go back to how it was before..

‘But there is no need for Beoncheonhoeju. The power he possesses is already at the level of full godhood, and he can even cross dimensions at will..’

For power, the more ruled people, the better..

There are degrees of reign of terror, no matter how you think about it, pushing ahead with a plan that would lead to the annihilation of billions of people was incomprehensible..

So it means there is more to it than simply ruling this world.···.

‘Is that how you want to become the god of Earth??’

At that time, the words the Black Dragon Master said suddenly passed through my mind..

-“Hoeju is already completely crazy. He firmly believes that only he is justice and that this method is the best. He will do anything to achieve his goals..”

That was no different from the way of thinking of a fanatic..

He won't care even if there are billions of innocent victims in the process..

Because I firmly believe that it is truly the right path..

“···Well, okay. Whatever his intentions, I can't just sit still like this..”

No matter what the Beoncheonhoeju thinks or does, what I will do will not change..

To kill the man who caused the death of his family and completely destroy the Beoncheonhoe..

After thinking about it for a while, I opened the Karma store and checked the bottom..

『Karma Share (6%)』

The figure is 1% higher than when I first saw it..

As the amount of karma in possession exceeded 20 million and there was no significant consumption after obtaining the “Karma Store Ver.3 Update,” the number of bullets continued to increase..

Even while various things were happening on Earth, harvests continued steadily in the gardens of this world..

‘Because of market share.’

I didn't think that that number simply meant the amount of karma points..

Even more so because it was right after I heard from the Black Dragon Master what the Venetian Lord was aiming for..

‘There's no way you can do such a huge thing just because you have the power..’

Even if that wasn't the case, wasn't he already bound by all sorts of restrictions??

Apart from collecting the necessary karma and divinity by destroying other dimensions, it was reasonable to believe that appropriate conditions must be met in order to carry out work on Earth..

“I guess that's what this market share is..”

Then it was as if what he was going to do was already decided..

Increasing market share as much as possible.

By securing a stake like that, I was opposing his plan as one of Earth's shareholders..

‘No matter how many worlds he destroys, he won't be able to do anything on this Earth..’

No, that's not enough..

Isn't this just my guess??

There was a need to respond more proactively rather than just being defensive..

Yeah, for example—.

‘A case like Kang Hwan-gye is probably not the only one, right? The world is on the verge of destruction because of that straw..’

It must be for this plan that he travels to other dimensions and destroys the world..

In that case, it was inevitable that it would be interrupted..

Of course, since the number of dimensions known so far is more than one, it may be more efficient to focus on one thing rather than wandering aimlessly.···.

“It doesn't matter to me.”

Because his body was not one.

If something needed to be done, all you had to do was proceed at the same time..

‘Still, in order to proceed smoothly, it may be necessary to organize some of the backlogged work..’

I quietly closed my eyes and focused on the avatars moving around..

***

The Black Dragon Lord sat on a park bench and quietly looked up at the sky..

Sunny weather with white puffy clouds floating in a clear blue sky.

“hello! grandfather!”

At that time, a child passing by smiled brightly and greeted him..

He looked at the child and smiled kindly..

This is a park created in a wealthy area where schools for different age groups are concentrated..

As the well-to-do houses were clustered together, the security was good and the faces of those passing by were full of relaxation..

Of course, that didn't mean the children were naive enough to greet a grandfather they didn't know without hesitation..

The fact that the child greeted the Black Dragon Master without hesitation earlier showed that he was used to it..

He didn't come here every day as he had work to do, but it's already been more than ten years since he's been here watching the children passing by..

“hey! It's been a while since I went to karaoke···.”

“Rather, at my house today···.”

“Then go buy something on the way.···.”

Then, suddenly, a group of male students crossed the park..

Students in their mid to late teens wearing clean school uniforms and chatting energetically..

The Black Dragon Master's gaze turned to a child among them..

“ah! hello grandpa.”

“Oh, you came today. hello~!”

When our eyes met, the children also said hello one by one..

Of course that was all.

No matter how familiar he was because he had seen it since he was young, it was difficult to expect any more reaction from his grandfather, who was a complete stranger..

But that was enough for him.

As the children moved away, the Black Dragon Lord gently closed his eyes and raised his head to the sky..

Is it because I recently met and talked to the clan's owner, Phantom??

Suddenly, the past came rushing back like a regurgitation..

This was the opportunity for him to leave his position as branch leader of Beoncheonhoe..

The day I betrayed Hoeju, who had generously supported me in overcoming the walls of the police,.

“ha.”

He was sent to another world, leaving behind his newly married wife, but fortunately he was able to return alive with all four limbs intact..

What was even more fortunate was that, even though the transfer to another world was unknown at a time, his wife waited until the end for him, who had been missing for more than a year..

But the joy of safely returning to Earth was short-lived..

He realized one thing and couldn't help but fall into despair..

As he was an early returner, he did not know at the time that all growth would be blocked if he returned to Earth..

Because of the support of the Beoncheonhoe, there was no problem in leading a prosperous life, but none of that was important to him..

He was at the end of his life and became more and more obsessed with strength as each day passed..

Regretting returning to Earth, leaving behind his wife who had waited for him, he only thought about how he could overcome the wall..

Perhaps it was thanks to that pathological obsession that he was finally able to overcome the wall of the police after a long period of adversity and hardship..

With the privilege of “Reverse Heaven” obtained as the first feat of transcending transcendence on Earth,.

I had to lose my youth in return, but considering what I gained, I could bear that..

However, it is true that I feel reluctant to show my wife this appearance..

After meeting just before crossing the wall, he stopped visiting his wife..

Leaving just enough money to live luxuriously.

And he continued his activities more actively as a military officer and as the head of the East Asia branch of Beoncheonhoe..

One day, a few months later.

That moment came suddenly.

It was a clear and sunny day then as it is now..

But he didn't even have time to look up at the sky and ran only looking ahead..

Not only did the roads become a mess in the aftermath, but they didn't even care that there were casualties..

And at the hospital we arrived at.

I was able to meet the aged Black Dragon Master for the first time..

the murderer who killed his wife.

The wrinkled-skinned enemy frowned..

Twisting the corners of his mouth that resemble hers, as if laughing at himself..

But even after seeing that, he couldn't possibly hate the other person..

The real mistake was myself for leaving my wife alone..

-“Are you the mother's guardian? We did our best, but you came in very weak condition.···.”

-“Fortunately, the child has no major problems. I'll have to watch carefully for a while.···.”

He gently embraced his enemy..

A small creature writhing in one's arms.

It was the only trace she and herself, who were orphans, left in this world..

And thanks to 「Reverse Heavenly」, he was able to get a glimpse of part of the heavenly energy and was able to intuitively realize it..

In the world that Hoeju dreams of, there will be no place for this child..

As soon as he felt it, he disappeared with the child without any hesitation..

“Yeokcheonja,” who twisted the providence of the world, was of great help in hiding his existence and deceiving the child’s identity so that he could be adopted into a family with a kind-hearted couple..

And as an anonymous benefactor, he gifted a house to a wealthy village and watched the child grow up from afar..

I couldn't go there in person for fear of being chased, so I just sat in this park waiting for a chance encounter..

‘Hmm, this much waiting is nothing..’

The Black Dragon Master slowly stood up..

And then I walked away, leaving behind the enemy I hadn't seen in a long time..

To fulfill the mission left to me, to protect her traces from disappearing again..
