Chapter 327:
The tip of Seoul, South Korea, was a very secluded, mountainous, watery place for Seoul.
No skyscrapers, just a vast expanse of land under an open blue sky, with mountains of greenery off to one side.
And below it all, a few private homes dotted among the fields, a pleasant, quiet neighborhood with a zero percent terrorism rate over the past decade.
Unless a redevelopment company got tired of working in Seoul, where terrorism is a daily occurrence, and decided to move here. It always seems to be peaceful forever.
Strange, strange things were happening.
-Kurrrr.
Suddenly, a loud boom was heard from the sky.
Above the blue sky, there was a tearing sound, as if the sky was opening up.
And then it happened.
Hwaaaaaaaaa-
The sky split in two with a loud noise and between them, dazzling yellow lights began to shine even during the day.
"Whoa What is that?"
The sky split open and light burst forth, an unbelievable scene that could only be found in mythology.
And the clouds of multicolored rainbows that began to form around it were enough to make the bent-over old ladies stand up from their work, grab their unfamiliar smartphones and snap photos to send to their sons and daughters.
*
[What is this, mom? Isn't it a movie?]
[No, but it's a great view~^^]>
[Wow, mom, you should take some more pictures of this and send them to me. I'll have to report it.]
*
The story and photos quickly became a social media sensation.
This was enough to make the media, who were bored and scratching their heads wondering if there was anything new in terrorism, blink and take notice.
And just like that the news of the sky splitting open over a village outside of Seoul, bursting with light and rising in a brilliant array of five-colored clouds, quickly spread across the country.
Then, just a few hours later.
[BREAKING NEWS: A strange light in the sky is currently causing a stir in a town outside of Seoul]
The story is already breaking news.
The peaceful village is now bustling with people who have come to see the mysterious phenomenon.
"Wow, look. The fog is rainbow-colored. What is it?"
"Stop pushing it!"
"Don't come any closer. This is a restricted area!"
"Get off my field, you bastards!"
"Is this a villain putting on a show? I feel a little uneasy."
A clear brilliance emanated from the open sky and the multicolored clouds, divinely sprinkled across the sky.
I, perched in the trees around the mountain in the distance, watching the sight.
"It's crazy."
Wrapped in a black cloak, I looked ahead with my mask and muttered.
[Currently, the Association is keeping people away from direct light because they believe this could be the work of a villain]
The news anchor's words were heard in my ear.
The angel, after all, was a messenger of God, making a grand entrance.
Especially in a situation like that, when he was just putting on a show with a divine light emanating from the sky that looked extraordinary.
That's the Sun God's servant, a being that looks like an angel and is therefore called angel.
After its first appearance, it stays still for a while before being taken away by Celeste, who is late to learn of the angel's descent.
Already, some people were mesmerized by the overwhelming sight and fell to their knees in prayer.
People who seemed to be devout believers in God were already losing their minds and fainting.
Even more overwhelming than in the cartoons, it's easy to see why people were so fascinated by this angel.
While the angel's eyes remained closed, I could already hear the reporters frantically clicking their camera shutters.
"Ugh"
And then a rainbow-colored, transparent barrier suddenly unfolded around the angel, preventing anyone from getting too close. It must be the angel's own protection.
While the people around me were scrambling around the place where the angel was, I was thinking with a cold expression.
Yeah. That angel will probably stay like that for days. Inside an impenetrable barrier.
And in the meantime, her news will be scooped up by the world, and it will reach Celeste's ears but, of course, I wouldn't let that happen.
I smirked at the thought.
All right, then. Let's go.
Time to greet the angel.
-Shhhh.
Just like that I teleported away and the scene before me changed.
Suddenly, I was standing amongst a group of people gathered around an angel, not a mountain.
And they immediately recognized me.
"Ugh! It's Egostic! Egostic is here!!!"
"What? Where?"
"It's the real Egostic!!"
The place was already rowdy enough, but became even rowdier with my arrival.
I chuckled, raised my hand, and waved at the people as a fanservice gesture.
"Yes, everyone. Hello, I'm Egostic, come on, come on. Make way, please. I'm coming through."
And with that, I waved, and the people on either side of me moved out of the way.
That's weird. Was Korea always such an easy-going society?
Anyway, as I walked through the passageway where Moses' miracle took place, I felt the stares of expectation on my face as I made my way to the barrier where the angel was sleeping.
As I approached the barrier, I saw the Association employees struggling to break through it.
As they struggled to use some sort of device to pierce the transparent wall, I was momentarily confused as they looked at me and moved out of the way. No, you should be stopping me, not letting me get out of the way so easily.
Anyway, there was no armed conflict.
With that, everyone held their breath and looked at me with expectation, "What would Egostic do?
I kept a smile on my face and made it to the barrier.
Just like that I silently placed my hand on the barrier.
-Ziiiiiing.
Then, a yellow glow appeared between my hand and the barrier and my body went through it.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
"I'm in!"
And just like that, I was inside the barrier.
Needless to say, there was a lot of chaos around me.
I finally made it inside the barrier, and I looked up at the angel hovering above me with a big smile on my face.
"Finally, I meet you," I muttered to the blonde angel in white robes hovering above me, eyes closed in prayer.
This angel is mine now.
I can do whatever I want with her.
