Chapter 133 – Green Forest King (2)
China had countless factions.
The Orthodox Sect.
The Unorthodox Sect and the Demonic Cult.
Then there was the Ming Dynasty.
All the forces of the martial world had gathered.
The original Chinese government was also there.
They fought fiercely.
Monsters killed civilians, but the factions fought each other to protect their vested interests.
Perhaps because of that.
China truly resembled the Warring States period.
It began to collapse rapidly.
Monsters attacked from the outside, while other forces quickly organized from within.
If the Empire’s Magic Towers had united as one, half of China might have already become imperial territory.
Fortunately, the Empire was not united.
But there were forces that took advantage of that gap.
Three forces.
They quickly established themselves in China.
The Green Forest.
A gathering of bandits.
They were a moderately strong group.
They expanded their influence amidst the chaos.
Most of them were simple people, but they took up the sword to make a living.
And they were the first to encounter a certain race.
The Elven race.
Elves.
Children of the World Tree who loved nature.
They took over the Green Forest.
Thugs who protected others in exchange for extorting part of their wealth.
They were all killed by the Elves.
And among them, the most notable Elf became the King of the Green Forest.
That was the current King of the Green Forest.
There were two other forces.
A race that similarly took over rivers and seas. And those who took over the Northern Sea.
But the common point of the two forces.
They were all split from the Elven race.
Humans called them Elves, but they were all of the Elven race.
Just as humans distinguished between Caucasians, Asians, and Africans.
They were all of the Elven race.
The surface was ruled by the Elves, and the rivers and seas were dominated by the Fairies.
They even controlled parts of the North Sea, that was, parts of Russia.
Therefore, the King of the Green Forest thought.
‘Isn’t this the Fairies taking over China?’
And she made a decision.
To start everything anew in this place called China.
In the midst of that, there was something extremely interesting.
It was a Sinocentric thought.
China was the best, and the world revolved around China.
In some respects, it was correct.
If the word China disappeared from that term.
‘If our Fairies were inserted, that is.’
The Fairies were the center.
The King of the Green Forest was thinking along those lines.
It wasn’t particularly wrong.
The land and the sea.
And they ruled the forests.
There were other races, but in China, they were the law.
Sinocentric thought.
It was the idea that the Fairies were at the center.
The Sea King and the Fighting King looked at her with disdainful eyes, but.
‘Even so.’
She thought so.
And indeed it was.
What she liked most.
‘They’re Chinese.’
Even if most incidents occurred, it’s smoothed over with the thought, Ah, this bastard was Chinese!
Thanks to that, the Green Forest King was enormously tarnishing the image of the fairies.
‘That’s none of my business.’
Strangely, this world valued their face.
Without truly knowing what practical benefits were.
In any case, the Green Forest King fortified such will and invaded here.
She knew what she said was absurd.
So what.
In this world, strength was justice.
Now, with no transcendents after they were all dragged to the boundary, they were strongest here.
Look at that emperor, unable to do anything.
It’s not because they couldn’t refute her logic.
It’s because they lacked strength.
The empire was powerful.
However, they were stronger.
Just a simple logic.
‘Even if they are in the Supreme Realm.’
There were barely three of them.
Moreover, they were human beings without any Unique Traits.
So, the King of the Green Forest arrived here with a leisurely attitude.
Faster than anyone else.
One must respect what should be respected.
‘The people here are too weak.’
I might beat the emperor, but if other guys showed up, they might all get beaten by me.
‘That’s a bit much, even for me.’
The emperor’s authority must be upheld.
Taking a quick look, the empire seems quite intact.
‘Though the level is lacking.’
There were more resources than before.
It seemed to be at least 2 to 3 times more than when I devoured it whole.
‘To get some support for this...’
I needed to stay on the emperor’s good side.
And.
The woman in front of didn’t doesn’t sit well with me either.
All the assets here might end up being mine.
‘But she dares to try to take my budget?’
This could not be forgiven.
“If you become my spouse, there are various advantages.”
“......What? I absolutely don’t want to, but I’ll hear the conditions.”
The reason for listening to the conditions was simple.
After knocking down the woman in front of me, I’d use it for negotiation.
“Heh, so that’s how it is. Are you playing hard to get to raise your value? If you become my consort, there are many things I can offer, but the first would be the priority of the Dragon Vein.”
“.......”
That’s quite something.
“You seem so shocked that you can’t speak. But it’s too early to be surprised. Because our Green Forest is a bandit clan. We have plundered all kinds of elixirs from all over the country.”
Wow, that’s really impressive.
I briefly recalled the elixirs I had bought.
‘I spent roughly in the trillions.’
Was it because the transcendent was Korean and that transcendent could exist beyond boundaries?
If I decided to release it, it was a crazy amount that could easily topple a nation.
I swept up all the elixirs at once.
I bought all kinds of rare elixirs, even those called five times their value.
Neither the principal nor Abel stopped me, and even Yoo Eunchae was excited and bought some alongside me.
‘It was actually the other side that stopped it.’
The association was horrified and came running.
They asked if we could spend that much money in smaller amounts.
They said that spending so much at once might cause a panic.
Anyway, we had plenty of elixirs bought with that money.
There were so many elixirs that we took them whenever we’re bored.
“Hehehe... That is what it means to become my husband. Of course, if you want, I can also teach you the secret techniques of the fairy race.”
“Secret techniques of the fairy race?”
“Ah, yes. It’s the method of handling spirits well.”
Wasn’t that just beating them up?
I looked at the Green Forest King.
She listed the conditions I could gain by getting married.
‘In the end, it’s not as good as what I already have?’
Seeing this, I suddenly felt that the principal, who had been generously supporting us from the beginning of my possession until now, was truly remarkable...
“How is it? Have you decided to join me as my spouse?”
“...Seojin?”
The emperor watched my reaction.
Did he really think I’d be swayed by something like that?
‘Even without all those things.’
It’s impossible.
The reason was simple.
Those who were on the boundary.
Knowing that those two were there, no matter what I did.
‘I need to keep women away for now.’
Knowing how much chaos those two could cause, it’s problematic to get close.
I quietly raised my fist.
“Her face is my type, but her nature is the opposite. She’s belligerent, does she want to fight me?”
“.......”
For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
The woman who invaded the empire for no reason wasn’t belligerent?
“A duel, a duel...”
“A duel sounds great.”
The emperor smirked and said with a grin.
I felt annoyed.
As if saying, “I got hit, so you should get hit too.”
‘Well, I did torment him quite a bit.’
I pushed him hard while teaching him the Divine Thunderbolt, and even before that, I consistently pushed him.
The emperor.
The pillar of the empire.
When I told him to build his skills first if he wanted to become that, he truly trained like a madman.
He probably trained ten times harder than the kids are training now.
“Are you suggesting we settle this with a duel? It’s unfortunate that it has to be forced. No, in this case, it’s actually right to take you by force. You have caught my eye.”
The King of the Green Forest muttered something.
I calmly unfolded the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
Hwaruk.
A gray flame.
It lingered in my hand.
“Oh, so you are on the path of destruction. Indeed, a power like annihilation suits you...”
The King of the Green Forest said to me with a competitive spirit.
And then.
Crunch.
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
Soul-Crushing Strike.
It exploded on the face of the Green Forest King.
