Chapter 290

Episode 290 [Predestined future]

The situation room in the basement of the Blue House was noisy with the shouts of generals and ministers.

“We must immediately summon the entire army and set up a defense line at the 38th parallel.”

“The current defense line is too close to Seoul. “If it’s the monster that destroyed Italy, Seoul is in danger.”

“Then what should I do! Are you saying we should wait for Italy to end up like this?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to fight on North Korean soil? “There is an advance route that has been maintained so far, right?”

“It’s impossible. This is an advance route that only clears the western direction. “We cannot build a defense line in time with that.”

“No, then why have you kept it that way? “It was useless.”

“I didn’t make it for something like this!”

“We need to control the sidewalks sooner than that. If the public finds out, they will panic. “The economy that was barely surviving will collapse.”

“Anyway, it will be known when the battle breaks out.”

A sound close to shouting reached his ears, but Kyung-hoon was unable to concentrate on the words.

After entering the situation room and hearing the situation, he felt as if he had sunk into a swamp.

The moment he heard the story about Mt. Baekdu and saw the pattern and black hole in the photo, Kyung-hoon He knew who his opponent was.

As far as he knew, the only monster that could create a black hole was the Black Monster Dimension Overlord.

And the stone monster that wiped out Italy was clearly the Baekdu Mountain Overlord that the dimension monster was trying to summon in the future. The overlord has now appeared on Mt. Baekdu.

Although this alone was not enough to provide an answer, Gyeong-hoon was frustrated with another problem.

Their conversation was continuing to touch Gyeong-hoon’s memory.

I still can’t recall what memory it is, but it is a good thing .

It was clear that it was not a memory.

At that time, the president’s voice reached Kyung-hoon’s ears.

“If you have an opinion, please tell me. It is okay as a division commander and as an awakened person.”

When the President asked Kyung-hoon, the room became quiet.

Everyone looked at Kyung-hoon.

The military, who had already operated together several times, and the cabinet members who knew of Kyung-hoon’s investments and activities also listened to Kyung-hoon’s words. Kyung-hoon’s thoughts

. Everyone acknowledged Kyung-hoon like this.

They said it was an honorary position, but there was no way a country would give the position of division commander to just anyone.

Kyung-hoon came to his senses right away. Now was not the time to search for memories.

Fortunately, he remembered the entire conversation.

For a while . Gyeonghoon, who was thinking, opened his mouth and said,

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to concentrate our forces on the current defense line. It also seems good to strike before we get close to Seoul.”

The generals frowned at Gyeong-hoon’s words.

Gyeong-hoon’s words were not a proper suggestion,

because they were just political talk, saying, ‘This is good and that is also good.’

But Gyeong-hoon’s words were not over.

“But... .”

Gyeonghoon looked at the monitor.

A picture of Mt. Baekdu’s crater with a black hole filled the screen.

Gyeonghoon remembered.

The sight of ordinary soldiers dying in the Battle of Mt. Baekdu in another dimension.

It was helpful, but among the soldiers. No one survived.

“Conventional weapons and ordinary soldiers are of no help in fighting monarch-level monsters.”

Missiles engraved with manazine had not yet been developed, and there was no Eve to command the troops. There was no

way to hit monarch-level monsters with conventional weapons.

“Moreover, monsters above monarch-level tend to make some kind of mental attack. Ordinary soldiers “It’s hard to endure.”

It was just a kind of telepathic conversation, but the image emitted by the monarch-level monster drove ordinary people crazy.

“No, even low-level awakened people are the same.”

Everyone sighed at Kyung-hoon’s words.

Even those who knew the situation to some extent and those who heard it for the first time found it difficult to refute Kyung-hoon’s words.

Kyung-hoon fought the most high-level monsters and knew the high-level monsters best.

Of course, what they knew Although they fought several times more than that, it was hard to ignore Kyung-hoon’s words just because they knew.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

“...Yes, you can look at it that way.”

In response to Kyung-hoon’s answer, the President asked again,

“Then is there another alternative?”

Kyung-hoon closed his eyes.

As far as he knew, there was no alternative. It was the best way he could think of.

If he went with the army, he would only lose more troops. Without the army, he couldn’t hold the defense line.

Bring in low-level awakened people. Even if he gathered them together, it was no different from going with an army.

It wouldn’t help and there would only be no one left to hunt the monsters after the battle.

But if his plan went according to plan, a certain future was waiting. The raiding party would be wiped out and humanity would survive a little longer. .

Kyung-hoon opened his mouth,

“As far as I know, there is no better way.”

The President nodded at Kyung-hoon’s answer,

“Then we should proceed as is.”

The President said with a calm expression,

“Anyway, ever since the monsters appeared, there has never been a time without danger. Many countries have been destroyed. To be honest, only a few countries have maintained civilization. Korea has barely survived yet, but who knows if it will still be alive tomorrow.” You can not.”

In the president’s expression, an exhausted and resigned old man suddenly showed his face.

“If we don’t stop it, everyone will die now, and if we stop it, if we can live a few more years, we have no choice but to proceed with the operation. I feel sorry for the awakened people who have to go on such a dangerous operation, but Sacheon “If I care about Mann’s life, I have no choice but to approve this operation.”

Suddenly, the room became quiet. Everyone was listening to the president.

Everyone had the same face as the president. People in this world were closer to death than Kyung-hoon thought.

The president asked the generals.

“Has it been decided?” Or was there a different opinion?”

“No, we decided to proceed with the operation.”

In the end, it was decided to go with the strategy that Kyung-hoon had mentioned.

Kyung-hoon whispered to the president,

“You will regret it over time.”

“Even if I regret it, I will make the same decision.”

No, it was clear that he would regret it. The will that Gyeong-hoon saw was full of regret.

“Then all that remains is to persuade the awakened people.”

“My family is behind me and I have nowhere to go now. Everyone will follow me.”

The Pacific Ocean and the sky had recently fallen into the hands of monsters.

Now there was nowhere else to run.

“Are you sure Kyung-hoon has no intention of joining the raid?”

Kyung-hoon was different from other awakened people. He was able to escape this country.

But Kyung-hoon shook his head.

“I will go too.”

The President grinned.

“Look, they say it, but dimension shifters are our heroes.”

Kyung-hoon smiled bitterly at the president’s words.

He was no hero. He was neither a person of character nor a pushover.

Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t have the thought of helping people, but the reason he moved was different.

He had to go to Mt. Baekdu.

The summit of Mt. Baekdu was the place where he crossed into this world. This is where he disappeared from the records.

So far I haven’t found any other way to go back.

Portals were also being researched and AI and robots were being created, but they were not progressing faster than the original history.

Even in the world of monsters, there was no way to return to the original world and the original time.

In the end, he had no choice but to place his last hope.

On Mt. Baekdu, where his records disappeared.

Either die or

go home.

There was no word that a body had been found, so it was worth a try.

Kyung-hoon spoke again.

“I will go too. To Mt. Baekdu.”
