I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 54
#54. Gate flooding
“Damn it, why aren’t the troops coming!”
“Avoid this way!”
“Kwaaaa!!”
Screams coming from everywhere.
Corpses strewn with blood and sprawling all over the burning, collapsing building...
Is this a dream?
Baekgureum was the first to run out, drawing his sword.
“What on earth! Did a dungeon break explode nearby?!”
Five or six goblins were killed by the sword he was swinging.
But even so, the screams coming from all over the place showed no sign of stopping.
‘Where on earth are the hunters and soldiers?’
Even if the dungeon break occurred, it makes no sense that there would be no support troops.
‘If the brakes go off, the waiting troops will arrive within 5 minutes.’
Is that all?
A system was already fully established to protect the lives and property of citizens by deploying double or triple layers of defense forces until the situation was completely suppressed.
In the military, after guerrilla fighting, the second most difficult thing was urban training under the assumption of a braking situation, so I guess I’ve said it all.
But right now, there are no fighting people around.
‘It’s a scene I’ve only seen in history books when a city burns down so defenselessly.’
The situation is not serious.
Damdeok hurriedly summoned the wolves.
– Crrrrr...!
– Crumbling...!
56 Deadly Hounds.
Since I had to save my spiritual power just in case, I didn’t summon the solar wolf.
He looked back at the wolves and calmly gave instructions.
“First, kill all the monsters you see. If there is anyone trapped under the rubble of the building, help them.”
– Cough!
– Sigh! Wow!
As many as sixty wolves ran out in unison.
Although their combat power is lower than that of the Sun Wolves, they are Deadly Hounds, which boast the highest rank among hounds, so they will do their job well.
“It’s faster than expected.”
I turned my head when I heard Ju Soo-yul mumbling.
She was staring straight ahead with a more determined expression than usual.
“What are you talking about?”
“....”
“What do you mean?”
At Damdeok’s urging, Jooyul slowly opened his mouth.
“This isn’t dungeon break.”
“what?”
“It’s not a dungeon. “It’s just a regular gate.”
Damdeok was speechless at her calm words.
“...A gate. “In the human world, gates aren’t this powerful, right?”
It is different from the world of the gods, where gates have been appearing steadily for the past hundreds of years.
The Gate on Earth only occurred about 10 years ago, and its risk was only one-tenth of that of the dungeon.
But look at the current surrounding situation.
This was a scene that could only be seen when a dungeon break of at least C rank or higher occurred.
“There is no way this is a gate....”
Damdeok’s eyes wavered uneasily.
Ju Soo-yul added, taking out a dagger from his waist.
“It means that the forgotten gods are starting to become stronger. If things continue like this, soon... guess what?”
I was drooling.
I knew what was going on without even hearing it.
“War of the Gods....”
That was impossible.
We have only been able to gather two of the 12 guardians in the prophecy.
And that’s just barely.
It wasn’t just a guardian’s problem.
‘My skills still have a long way to go.’
There were still so many things he needed to hone, including swordsmanship, martial arts, and archery magic.
‘Damn, I can’t believe I’m so short on time.’
Ju Soo-yul, who saw Damdeok clenching his fist, added.
Cheongunak quietly opened his mouth.
“This gate flooding incident is truly regrettable. As the Minister said, I also feel a heavy responsibility as the leader of a top guild.”
Cheongunak added slowly.
“Therefore, the Heavenly Demon is requesting that Iris and all of you gathered here join forces to carry out a large-scale gate suppression operation.”
The minister’s expression brightened at Cheongunak’s firm words.
This is because he acknowledged himself appropriately and at the same time came up with a solution to this situation.
The atmosphere was absolute.
Who would dare to reject the subjugation operation proposed by the head of a world-class guild with a great cause behind it?
The reporters nodded and set off flashlights as if they knew it would go like this.
Namgung Do-eok also encouraged his hunters by saying that there was nothing they could do now.
But
“I will leave.”
With one word from Damdeok, the conference room suddenly became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.
“...Are you going to fall in?”
Cheongunak’s thick eyebrows twitched.
Afterwards, Kang Ji-cheon came to his senses and fiercely criticized Damdeok.
“under! What a shameless hunter. Not only was it not enough to be late during the gate storm, but you won’t participate in the large-scale subjugation operation? Is it okay for a hunter to be so selfish? huh?!”
“Kkkk, that’s right. Moreover, after Hunter Yu Dam-deok was promoted to 6-star, he refused all requests for cooperation from the government.”
Cheon Jung-ak, who was sitting in the corner, grunted and helped.
Damdeok lightly ignored him.
‘Do you know anything about the government’s request for cooperation?’
At that time, I would have been hard at work pulling the sun chariot.
“I’m going to fall in love... may I ask what the reason is?”
Cheongunak quietly closed his eyes and asked that question.
Damdeok answered without a moment of hesitation.
“Because it’s useless.”
A reporter who was drinking water on one side exclaimed: It spat out water.
Silence came again.
Everyone was looking at Damdeok with shocked faces.
Seeing that everyone’s mouths were slightly open, they must have been quite shocked.
Only the white clouds sitting in the corner were giggling as if they knew that would happen.
‘Hmm, did I speak too honestly?’
But it’s true.
Isn’t the subjugation operation really a useless thing?
Removing the gate is not the end.
You must kill the Forgotten God, find the Gate Core, and destroy it once and for all.
Ultimately, only when the war of gods ends will all these misfortunes be put to rest.
The only way to prevent the disasters that were approaching at any moment was not to unite between guilds, but to find the 12 guardians in the prophecy and become even stronger than before.
“It’s useless... so bold.”
Cheongunak mumbled that, but Damdeok only shrugged his shoulders.
“After talking about it, I feel it more clearly. “If the only issue to be discussed here today is the gate suppression operation, then I will leave.”
Damdeok spun around.
I was nervous.
Even now, the forgotten gods are probably getting stronger, so we can’t afford to waste time on something like this.
“That young guy with his messy hair.”
“Guild leader. “Let’s get rid of that guy and do it ourselves.”
“you’re right! “It looks like he’s giving me a lot of power just because he’s a 6-star hunter, but you don’t have to have it!”
This was when Damdeok walked toward the door of the conference hall, ignoring Iris’s strong opposition.
Jump up!
Suddenly the door opened and a secretary with a pale face came running in, panting.
“We’re in big trouble! “The gate at Incheon Airport has burst!”
The secretary’s face was covered in sweat.
Minister Yuna Kim and several hunters jumped up.
“Damn again?!”
“Incheon Airport?!”
“But what are you doing here?! “We must deploy troops immediately to protect civilians!!”
Despite the hunters’ harsh instructions, the secretary urgently approached the minister and began to whisper something.
The minister’s complexion turned pale as he listened.
“What is it?”
“What on earth is going on?”
The hunters, who sensed something unusual, asked questions one after another.
Minister Yuna Kim’s face had already lost all color. With her lips quivering, she cautiously opened the door.
“Incheon Airport... has disappeared.”
