Luke's steps quickened.

He was now descending into the basement of the castle to carry out the King's orders.

The soldiers of the nature bowed their heads every time he passed by.

All were free from death by being baptized by the King.

However, they weren't undead.

Literally, ‘death’ means liberation from the providence of nature.

Rook arrived in the basement at the bottom.

“Are you here?”

“You were in charge.”

There, there was a man with blue hair guarding the large door.

Luke greeted him warmly, pretending to know him.

“It’s almost ready.”

“How about making a portal?”

“I think that part is still there. Apparently, there was a big failure in the last portal, so it seems that they are preparing meticulously.”

The collapse of another world that constitutes the portal.

That incident was a serious blow to the pride of the military's technical department in charge of portal production.

“Then we can’t proceed right away.”

“Probably so.”

“I’m just going to check it out today.”

“King said that he collected the traces of Park Hyunsoo that remained in the portal and traced him directly from the ‘Dimensional Gate’ to an entity with powers that were opposite or similar to him.”

The 'Dimension Gate' was a place where the army found suitable beings for portals.

There, through the selection process, an alien world that matches the existence selected through negotiation or coercion was created and locked in the completed portal.

Of course, most of them forcibly locked them in a mass-produced alien world and dropped portals like bombs.

Just like Iris.

Luke asked the blue-haired man, Borosh.

“What is the screening process?”

“There was no negotiation or coercion.”

“What do you mean?”

“… … It was a corpse from the start.”

Luke frowned at the word corpse.

“You mean the King brought the body?”

“It's a corpse, but it's hard to explain. Check it out for yourself.”

“Where are you?”

“Follow me. You will witness a very rare sight.”

rareness?

What is it that only a corpse is so rare?

But there was no way the King would have brought an ordinary corpse.

Luke didn't understand, but he never once doubted King.

He would have had a reason to do so if he had chosen it.

He followed Borosh without a word.

Borosh led Luke through the door and into the shady place.

And when he reached the little door, Borosh took a step back and beckoned Luke to enter.

“It is here.”

Luke opened the door without hesitation and paused.

A shivering chill brushed his skin.

It was an unusual chill.

He even opened the door.

Luke frowned.

"This place."A corpse was placed on a sarcophagus in a secret room lit with blue light.

There was a half-melted wax candle around the coffin, which was the culprit of the blue light.

Luke walked over to the coffin and took a closer look at the corpse.

“This is what the King brought.”

"That's right."

“It’s no good.”

It was blasphemous to dare to say that the master brought what he had brought, but it was.

It wasn't a white bone in the worn-out clothes I saw for the first time, but it was like a mummy with only bare skin left.

His frizzy hair was strewn in all directions like lightning, dirty with dirt.

“Where is this… … .”

She said that she was brought from the dimensional gate as the antagonist of Park Hyunsoo.

But if you look at the shape, doesn't it look like it can beat even a child, let alone Park Hyunsoo?

“In what part of the world do you mean it’s rare?”

“Can’t you feel it?”

"what… … ?”

Nothing was felt.

It was then.

"for a moment."

Luke moved closer to the corpse.

His eyes slowly began to widen.

A smile was drawn on Borosh's lips.

“How are you?”

“You are precious.”

“Isn’t that surprising?”

"this… … Was the body right?”

On the surface, it looked like a corpse, but I could feel an incomprehensible vitality in that dead body.

It was clearly not strong, but the feeling of life force in the body itself made no sense.

In this case, there were usually two cases.

First, he became a mummified and some living tissues survived, and secondly, he may have been a person who boasted tremendous vitality during his lifetime.

Rook completely ruled out the possibility of the former.

If so, then it is the latter.

“Because he had such a powerful vitality… … .”

If you can feel the vitality of a corpse that has been dead for quite some time, it means that you were an existence beyond your imagination.

Isn't this at a level where we can discuss the Transcendental?

“It is too much to say that such a person is Park Hyunsoo’s opponent.”

“I am of the same opinion. The King said it too.”

Or is it that Park Hyunsoo's potential is just that great?

“So, how are you going to use this corpse?”

The remaining vitality means that he had great strength during his lifetime, but in the end he was like a corpse.

“Is the King himself using his powers?”

“You said it was difficult.”

“The King?”

“As you can see, Iza must have had great powers in his lifetime. No, he must have been a very strong man. That's why even the King said he couldn't completely control his existence."

“You mean the King?”

Today was a shock in many ways.

King was already a powerful being who had risen to the ranks of the Transcendent.

If you can't control the existence that makes even death your own, how big is this corpse?

“Instead, he said that it is possible with several restrictions.”

“If there are restrictions, won’t the ability be greatly reduced?”

“You said you were sorry for that. Above all, the weakening of an existence like this doesn’t mean that we can’t catch Park Hyunsoo.”

That said, the gap was huge.

In other words, Luke himself wasn't confident he could handle this corpse if it were to be resurrected.

He was strong enough to be guaranteed by the King during his lifetime.

“More than that, I thought I had seen this dress for the first time.”

As she continued to watch, she felt as if she had seen it somewhere.

Luke ran his hand over the old clothes on her body.

Although the form was very different, the material and shape were slightly similar to those of Iris.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“The preparations are over. Perhaps the ceremony will begin sometime today.”

Luke felt her heart pound.

maybe today.

One of the most powerful forces the military has ever acquired may be born.

* * *

When Park Hyunsoo finished talking, the audience was silent.

They each had time to think with their dark faces.

Park Hyunsoo understood them.

The source of the power he had not known until now was revealed, and he would not be able to open his mouth easily as he learned that the Arisians, who were the origins of the power, were eventually destroyed by the king's army.

Even Haksen and Mod were making serious expressions that didn't suit them.

‘You may not believe me easily.’

He even brought up the story of Queen to make him aware of reality.

Karak, who was the master of Haxen's ability, was torn in half after doing nothing, and Kizar, the master of Mod's ability, was shattered and killed while using his ability.

Both of them had strong confidence in their abilities, so it seemed that they were not alone in shock.

Park Hyunsoo waited quietly for them to speak again.

After a while, Andersen was the first to speak.

"I have a question."

“If you know, I will answer you.”

“Why Earth? Simply being invaded by the King's forces? But you said that there were many planets invaded by the King's forces."

“That’s what I’m curious about too. What happened, Hyunsoo?”

Ha Yu-rak also asked while clenching his chin next to him.

Even after Aris, many planets were invaded by the King's army and destroyed.

However, they did not succeed Aris.

“I don’t know either. I haven't heard of that.”

At the time, I had heard so many stories that my head was confused, so I didn't have time to check them out.

Still, there was one thing I could say.

“But if the Earth did not succeed Aris, we would have ended in no time.”

The moment the portal impact occurred, humanity would come to an end, and it would have been a waste of time by the King's army.

It was as clear as that.

“After all, it is said that it was Aris who saved humans.”

Whatever the reason, he was able to come this far because Earth succeeded Aris.

The problem was that the losers were retained.

They survived until now because they inherited their abilities, but in the end their opponents knew how to attack them.

Even Robben, who was the leader, suffered.

“I have one more question for you.”

Qingran raised her hand.

“Why are they restricted?”

According to Park Hyunsoo, King's forces actively invaded and destroyed other planets.

It was the same with Aris.

However, he was acting passively, only releasing portals on Earth.

"uh… … well?"

Park Hyunsoo didn't even know about this part.

Not even Park Hyunsoo, let alone Mare, could figure it out.Since it was a secret contract between King and Choi Sang-ho, there was no way to know except for King's aides.

“The important thing is that they have restrictions. Robben's death is very sad, but as long as King is also restricted, he will be taking that much risk.”

King may have no restrictions, but Park Hyunsoo was sure he would never.

It had been said before, but if there were no restrictions, he wouldn't have ended up killing only Robben.

It didn't make sense at first.

If killing Robben was a whim, that would be insane.

However, from what he had heard from Jerye-yong and personally experienced the officers of the military, King was a meticulous person.

“So the division has to end here, and everyone here has to work together. I don't know what happened to you two years ago, but stop fighting your pride, which is no longer funny. especially you.”

Park Hyunsoo blatantly shot Haksen.

He made a displeased face, but if everything he had heard was true, he wasn't wrong.

A crackling sound could be heard up to here.

“Park Hyunsoo is right.”

Takeshi said as he rubbed his sword.

He looked at the blade protruding slightly, then put it in with a squeaky sound.

“I also thought a lot during the split. There was nothing I could agree with with this guy's words, so he gave me strength. But it is true that I was a little skeptical.”

The day Haksen attacked Park Hyunsoo like a crazy dog ​​without thinking.

Takeshi thought a lot that day.

A more fundamental problem than Haksen's twisted ideas felt uncomfortable like a thorn in his neck.

Why did we have to split up like this?

As the world entered a period of stability, they thought that they might not have been satisfied.

“Let’s not have a stabilization, we were walking on swords.”

I just didn't know.

what the world was like.

I couldn't see anything because of my incompetence on the highest place.

“Honestly, I am ashamed. The fact that the friend who joined us last finds out such a secret and tries to reform the stagnant us is itself.”

“I agree. It's true that Boys are special, but that doesn't make our incompetence go away."

Jill Rodman had the same thoughts as Takeshi.

I had a lot of thoughts while listening to him.

“It’s time for unity.”

“I will totally obey Park Hyunsoo.”

Qing Lan closed her eyes and folded her arms as if making a declaration.

Park Hyunsoo laughed awkwardly and sweated.

“ I agree with Park Hyunsoo. The Warriors Guild will join forces with Park Hyunsoo and the Black Dragon Society from now on.”

“I and the Red Lion will be together. I'm a lot weaker now, but it'll definitely help."

Ha Yu-rak said with a bright smile.

A majority of S-class hunters agreed to harmony.

All that was left were Armand, Andersen, and finally, Haxen.

“There is no reason to refuse. Unity is the most likely way to give them shit.”

“I don’t care what it is, as long as my research can proceed steadily. Because that was the reason I was with the artillery commander in the first place.”

Armand and Andersen also joined the unity.

One thing left.

Everyone's eyes turned to Haxen.

He was staring at Park Hyunsoo with sunken eyes.

Park Hyunsoo also stared at each other without averting his gaze.

- I'm scared of that person.

Harley felt his gaze and trembled for nothing.

After a moment of silence, Haksen opened his mouth.

“Fight with me.”

Park Hyunsoo answered.

"great."

The rest of the seven people's expressions were almost dazed by their endless conversation.
