Chapter 110: Expected Blow
Master Smith Under Ministry of National Defense
110 Expected Blow
Kraaaaaah!!
Seeing the crimson light bursting from Silvares fingertips, Hee-cheol instinctively covered his eyes with his left arm and staggered backward.
Then, after waiting for a while without any change, he looked at Silvares with a bewildered expression.
What?! What is this?! Why arent you committing suicide! Argh!! You wretched creature, crushed by your sins. Suffer in torment from your sins and die!
She looked at Hee-cheol in good condition and ordered once again. Hee-cheol, bewildered, regretted missing the optimal timing for a counterattack and covered his eyes again.
And seeing no change, he looked at her again.
In her eyes reflected his astonishment.
You! Have you truly never felt an ounce of guilt in your life?! Really?! Do you think everything youve done in your life was right?
Isnt that obvious? If it were really wrong, I would never have done it.
Silvares couldnt help but feel dumbfounded at Hee-cheols words, spoken as if they were the most natural thing in the world.
For any sentient being living with intelligence, it was normal to have at least some sense of guilt in their hearts.
Even she, using her abilities to the fullest extent towards him, could evoke endless rage and disgust towards herself with just the smallest emotions, like making the blanket cold while sleeping.
However, her abilities were completely ineffective against Hee-cheol, who had no trace of regret for any of his choices.
An individual of the type known as extremeness, where one ability had no influence on the other, literally corresponding to extremeness.
Living for tens of thousands of years, conquering sentient beings in hundreds of parallel universes, and facing a type of creature she had never seen before, she realized that she had fallen into a trap.
You little bastard. You fooled me!
In fact, her appearance in this place was not of her own will.
She simply followed the orders given to her by the divine being, the Nebula, which is above the Twelve Divine Beings, ruling the outer universe and governing the destiny of all existence.
She arrived on this planet following a strong feeling that said, If I go to the planet called Earth at this timing, something good will definitely happen.
And there, instead of something good, she encountered the worst opponent who could perfectly handle her throughout the entire universe.
It could be considered a kind of sacrifice handed to Hee-cheol by the heroic nebula to restrain Myung-jun, who had rapidly strengthened by eliminating two of the Twelve Divine Beings even before D-DAY began.
If you swallow when its sweet and spit out when its bitter, why me, among so many other lords?!
She didnt know it, but there were reasonable reasons why she was chosen among the Twelve Divine Beings.
Hee-cheol, even though he was considered one of the strongest among the 8 billion people on Earth, his combat power was not strong enough to defeat a celestial being like Myung-jun directly in a pure battle, unlike Myung-jun. Therefore, the Heroic Nebula chose Silvares as a sacrifice to help Hee-cheol grow. By descending to Earth through an overflow phenomenon, she was destined to hand over the 9th-grade crystal to Hee-cheol and face defeat. She tried to think of a way to escape this crisis, but the situation was not favorable for her escape.
Hee-cheols awakened profession as a dollmaker was his most powerful ability when besieging a single target with hundreds of dolls, but as a specialist in mental domination, she had no combat power to confront those dolls.
She extended her arm in surrender.
Whats this, giving up?
Surrender.
Surrender?
Its humiliating, but unfortunately, my abilities dont work on you. Its also impossible to mentally dominate soulless dolls. And you value rationality and efficiency more than anyone else, right? Then accept my surrender. If you wish, I can make you the king of this planet.
Thats not possible.
Not possible?
Right now, theres no one around here except me, so theres no problem. But the moment I capture you and take you to where people are, I might have to fight against other humans besides you. Of course, theres a possibility that youll fight on the side of humans as you said, but its better to secure a result that is certain rather than gambling on such a possibility.
Upon understanding the meaning behind Hee-cheols words, Silvares exclaimed with widened eyes, Wait! Just a little more conversation!Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)
But her words were cut short.
Suddenly, Hee-cheols doll approached her from behind and pierced her chest in an instant.
Thats an unacceptable condition, as you know, right?
At that moment, Hao Ran, sensing the bitterness hidden in Hee-cheols words, brought up a sudden proposal.
Alright. Then lets give you half.
Really?!
But you have to hand over the crystal stone you obtained from the Gate Boss earlier.
I knew they were aiming for that.
Hee-cheol quickly scanned the surroundings and assessed the deployment of forces. Then, he sighed and said to Hao Ran.
Alright. Ill hand it over.
Really?
But since Ive taken a risk, Id like a personal reward.
A personal reward?
Around $200 million would be appropriate.
Hao Rans lips curled slightly into a smile, barely visible to Hee-cheols eyes. It was the reaction Hee-cheol had hoped for. It seemed like he intended to accept the money, even if it appeared to be his intention to do so, given the impossible situation of escape.
Hao Ran smiled brightly and said to Hee-cheol.
Is it a personal account?
Yes. Wouldnt it be every mans dream to have a secret account in the Bahamas? The Korean government will never find out about what happened here, and everything will be buried in secrecy.
Even as a fellow Korean, you have a level of flexibility that is different from the rigid Liberal Clan representative. Alright! I had prepared for such an eventuality, wondering if something like this would happen. Deputy Director Song Yeon-bi.
Yes.
Prepare $200 million.
Before Hao Ran finished speaking, Song Yeon-bi swiftly manipulated the tablet and showed it to Hee-cheol.
There, the balance of a $200 million account at Corner Bank, a private bank in the Bahamas, was displayed.
The password is here.
Hee-cheol confirmed the note he received from Hao Ran and asked him.
Did you know the amount I would demand in advance?
No, of course not. But the Party had prepared several secret accounts of various amounts in advance for such situations. Im giving you one of them.
Then if I had requested a different amount, you would have given me a different account?
Thats right.
All right. Since Ive received the money, I should also hand over the goods. Please wait a moment.
Receiving an unimaginable amount of money as an ordinary person, Hee-cheol was even humming a tune as he summoned his doll.
And such an attitude from Hee-cheol caused Hao Ran to let his guard down, something that would never have happened under normal circumstances.
Just before Hee-cheol was about to open the chest of the doll he summoned to grasp the crystal stone, Hao Ran realized the truth.
Wait! Director! Stop!
However, despite Hao Rans urgent tone, Hee-cheol reached out and firmly grasped the crystal stone. Then, he focused all his mind and will on the crystal stone.
Wooooooom!!!!
At that moment, a burst of multicolored energy emanated from the crystal stone that Hee-cheol held, enveloping him. Seeing this, Hao Ran urgently ordered his soldiers,
Attack! Attack! We must prevent them from absorbing the crystal stone no matter what!
However, despite Hao Rans frantic command, the soldiers were unable to take any action. It was because thousands of dolls summoned by Hee-cheol were surrounding each soldier, pointing swords at their necks.
These were dolls of a number incomparable to what Hee-cheol could summon before.
