Chapter 485
end of delusion (1)
The disappearance of Prime Minister Cheonghae-guk and General Hong San-guk..
It was like a large rock thrown into the world situation, which has recently been like a sheet of thin ice..
“The imperial palace has been invaded and the Prime Minister has been kidnapped! If we stay quiet in this situation, the whole world will laugh at us.!”
“How dare you harm the general in your own country? This cannot happen without ignoring our Hongsan country. You can never stand still..”
The pride of Cheonghae-guk, which failed to protect the prime minister in the middle of the palace, which should have been the safest, and Hongsan-guk, where the general and his subordinates, the symbol of the nation's strength, were defeated by just one person, suffered a huge wound to their pride..
To the extent that I cannot freely announce this incident to the outside world..
···Of course, there was no way an incident of this magnitude could be hidden by not making it public..
It would be reasonable to assume that everyone who knows already knows..
“So who is that evil beast??”
“I don't think he's an ordinary magic practitioner.···.”
The problem was that they had not yet accurately identified the culprit of this incident..
We searched the entire database based on eyewitness information, but instead of identifying the suspect, only questions arose..
As if he were a person who fell from the sky right before something happened..
“Who is the beast? Isn't that obvious??”
“There is no way that mere magic practitioners could have planned something like this. There must be someone behind the scenes who instigated all of this..”
It was from then on that a strange current began to flow in the political situation engulfed in such chaos..
“The only place that would do something like this is Hongsan Guk.?”
“Cheonghae country. Those seals did this!.”
Before we knew it, public opinion began to boil over, pointing out the other country as the mastermind behind this incident and calling for retaliation..
The argument, which began with radicals, received subtle support and soon became a serious discussion..
The intelligence that the other country was also in a similar situation was not that important to them..
It would have been enough to just say that it was a self-made act to show off flippers..
“No, there are a lot of questionable parts that make it difficult to jump to conclusions like that.···.”
It was not that there were no people who felt something was wrong with the artificial trend, but the trend had long since shifted to the mainstream wave that had been preparing for a long time..
Rather, they actively pushed for war as if this situation was an opportunity..
This situation was not limited to the political world..
All kinds of slander and rumors about the other country began to spread like wildfire among the people, as if someone was working behind their backs or as if they had made a promise..
An imminent atmosphere as if a war would break out as soon as you touch it..
However, the mind of the person who led things to go this way was also complicated..
“···Tsk, how did things get to this point?.”
The thing in the dark clicked its tongue..
Even though I had been cultivating for a long time, I couldn't help but feel anxious about situations that weren't going as planned..
Originally, the events were planned to proceed more naturally and dramatically, rather than in a forced development like now..
‘The guy I was watching closely wasn't even moving. Are you saying my prediction was wrong??’
A person from another world named ‘Hun’ who stimulated his sinister feelings..
He did not neglect his guard against the stranger at all..
The attack that occurred in the process of overthrowing the Seongcheon Yun family was not the only attack..
Assigning a deep magic practitioner to a not-so-important otherworldly lodging and making him arouse the desires of someone who had a grudge against him were just the beginning..
It would have been better if everything had been sorted out at that time, but they were also prepared to implement the next best solution at any time to prepare for an emergency..
‘As before, the moment he came to the forefront, everything was prepared, from traps to set him up and to kidnap the girl who would be left alone at that time..’
However, all of the carefully planned operations had to be frozen indefinitely as Hoon locked himself in without taking a single step outside of Yun's house..
Still, when I heard that he was interrogating prisoners, I thought he might make some move soon.···.
“···What on earth is this? Those monsters···.”
He closed his eyes tightly and sighed, trying to swallow his boiling anger..
Of all the recent major events, not a single one went as he expected..
The devil who turned the imperial palace of the Qinghai Kingdom upside down immediately after his appearance..
And the monster who completely destroyed a mountain and many of the elite troops of Hongsan State..
Those two beings who suddenly appeared were a risk factor that could not be compared to the Hun that was on guard earlier..
‘I guess I made a mistake. I guess I mistakenly thought that the warning about the appearance of those two was referring to a guy named Hoon. By chance, the timing coincided.···.’
In the end, he had no choice but to conclude that.
Because I couldn't even imagine that those three were entities derived from a single being..
Of course, now that I realize it, nothing has changed..
‘There is nothing I can do now. Even if things go wrong due to lack of preparation, we have no choice but to act before they do anything..’
The Prime Minister, General, and Black King were the top managers who took the lead in carrying out work in each area..
From the moment their personal affairs were taken over by unknown men, the possibility of success of future planned operations also became uncertain..
‘No, I can't be considered safe anymore..’
It's like having a knife stuck under your chin..
Now it was a popular trend..
It was best to get things done before they did anything with the words they got their hands on..
“···Wait, what??”
Although he did his best to start a war as quickly as possible,.
Once out of his hands, fate never smiled at him again..
“Someone appeared in Yoonga...?”
Once again, a development that deviated from one’s expectations..
He felt a pounding headache and closed his eyes tightly..
***
Seongcheon Yunga is always crowded with people..
“······.”
“······.”
Among them, there was unprecedented silence in the lobby of the guest hall where outsiders visiting the main house were welcomed..
It wasn't that there were no people around..
On the contrary, the crowd of people gathered was so crowded that it was twice as crowded as usual, but they were quietly focusing their eyes on one place, even being careful to breathe..
‘This is of great interest..’
The center of countless gazes.
Hela, who was standing calmly, smiled wryly and pushed her hair behind her ear..
“Huh!”
“Huh.”
That one thoughtless action brought sighs from all directions..
They must have been embarrassed, so they quickly cleared their throats and looked away, but that didn't last long..
The crowd turns its gaze again without realizing it and stares blankly at her..
“Sorry for keeping you waiting. My name is Jacob Yoon, and I am in charge of the guesthouse here. Please come this way. I'll take you inside..”
The strange situation came to an end only when the owner of the house, who hurried over after receiving the report from his subordinate, arrived in person..
Hela nodded and calmly walked along as he led her inside..
‘I've been to Hun many times, but visiting Hella feels like something new..’
That's probably because the reactions of those around you are different..
No matter how much she suppressed her demonic nature, her charm was at a level that could literally tilt a country..
It wasn't anything special that people, regardless of gender, were mesmerized by her..
‘Maybe it's because they know my identity..’
She glanced at Jacob, who was leading the way in front of her..
He was so nervous that the back of his neck was already wet with cold sweat..
It was not uncommon for those who visited the Yunga to be of high status, so the status of the person in charge of serving customers also had to be at a level that could not be ignored, even if only to meet the level of service..
But no matter how good his skills are, there are limits..
It was not easy to maintain composure against a monster who had invaded the imperial palace of a country alone, played a trick, and escaped leisurely..
What's more, the image I felt implicitly was overflowing with an evil energy that couldn't be compared to that of a decent magic practitioner.···.
“Welcome to Seongcheon Yunga. My name is Seolyoung Yoon, and I am currently serving as an elder..”
And the middle-aged female elder who showed signs of nervousness was also the one who met him under the guidance of Jigaekdangju..
As many as the elders, they maintained their outward calm and smiled, but that was not enough to escape Hella's keen gaze..
“Nice to meet you~! You can call me Hella.”
“It's Hella....”
Seolyoung Yoon responds with an awkward smile.
Just by looking at it, it was clear that they were trying to find out why this nuclear bomb rolled all the way here..
‘I completely understand that feeling..’
In fact, isn't it the culprit of the war currently taking place between the two countries??
However, the person in question proudly visited the family home through the front gate.···.
By now, the leaders of other Yoon families have probably all been convened and are holding an emergency meeting..
First of all, we are accepting it because we first requested peaceful dialogue, but the combatants secretly surrounding us from outside are probably an extension of that..
‘But what can you do? This is the best way to prevent war..’
In the end, the main argument of each country's main faction was this:.
The fact that an incident that occurred in one country occurred at the instigation of the other country..
In that case, there was only one thing he had to do to destroy the justification for the war..
‘I go to Jeonggongbeop.’
He stands out in the front and focuses everyone's attention so that no other excuses can be made..
It will become more certain if Harley joins in with the prisoners he has secured..
Seongcheon Yunga, a completely neutral force, was the best stage to show it off..
Of course, this was a choice you could never make if you were not confident in your abilities..
If you're not careful, you could end up fighting not only Hongsan-guk and Cheonghae-guk, but also magic practitioners and Yunga..
It was literally an act of turning the entire continent into an enemy.···.
‘What is that?.’
Hela relaxedly crossed her legs and rested her chin, smiling faintly..
There's no way he could care about such a trivial matter now, right??
If you have the confidence to subdue by force, try it..
I won't hide or run away.
“···So, Hella, what you are saying is that you are going to use our Seongcheon Yunga as a shield??”
“Huh? I feel a little sad when you express it that way. There is a good saying called mutual aid..”
“That's something that can be used in the current situation... Sigh, no..”
Of course, all kinds of aggro was attracted, so Yoonga, the stage, could suffer some damage..
This may raise suspicions that Yoonga was behind it from the beginning..
But it wasn't like there was nothing to say here either..
‘If you call yourself the guardian of peace, you have to endure this much. Cancer, whatever..’
It was obvious that if war broke out anyway, those caught in the middle would suffer the most..
Considering that it relieves that burden, isn't it enough to say thank you?!
“You probably didn't think we would accept that.?”
“Well, is there any other good way to prevent war? If they had investigated this time, wouldn't they have figured out the situation roughly? It's a bit disappointing if you don't have that level of ability..”
Yoon Seol-yeong kept his mouth shut at Hella’s words..
In fact, she knew full well that what she said was true..
Not long ago, 'Hoon', one of the gourmets, finally succeeded in digging up information after investigating the prisoners who attacked Yoonga..
The facts he found out at that time were very similar to the theory that Hella promoted a dark war..
The prime minister of the Cheonghae kingdom and the general of the Hongsan kingdom were also the figures pointed out as the culprits at that time, so it can be said that there is some credibility to those words..
‘There is no way they have any contact with each other, so some degree of objectivity is guaranteed. Of course, additional verification will be necessary.···.’
Hela smiled faintly when she saw Seolyoung Yoon frowning and thinking..
Since it is consistent with the testimony of Hoon, who has built trust in one way or another, it will be difficult to ignore it easily..
I didn't lie, so there was no reason for my conscience to be pricked..
‘Plus, I have other things to do while I'm spending time here..’
In fact, whatever you do here and now is just a waste of time..
In the end, if there was to be an end in any way, the cause of all this had to be rooted out..
‘In order to do that, we must first deal with that delusional chakra in some way..’
You never know when someone might fall for it and do something crazy..
You don't even know who is possessed until your eyes turn, so if you touch it hastily, there is a high chance that it will end up being a meaningless mafia game..
‘Coincidentally... if I wasn't a specialist in that field..’
To Hella, bewitching someone who was already deluded and whose mental defenses were weakened was a piece of cake..
If you take away control over the delusions one by one, the moment will inevitably come when the cause-and-effect string touches the subject of chakra..
The beginning of that plan was Seongcheon Yunga..
