Chapter 252: The one who opposes – 2
#1
Kuuuuuuuu…
Atlas, flying at 420 kilometers per hour through the early morning sky, was equipped with three informational agents from the militia to support Jaehw.a.n.g.
Carrying the strongest hunters to determine the battle for dragons, they were busy interpreting and integrating the information from the command in real-time while maintaining tension.
But the heart of the party, Jaehw.a.n.g, was rather incredibly calm.
‘The design is over.’
Jaehw.a.n.g began designing before entering the raid and when it is completed, the battle begins. The plans that he designed this way never failed him.
But this time, it was completely different from the ones he had raided before.
The Dragon did not properly reveal its abilities. Dozens of hundreds of variables could occur and they would have no way of knowing it until it happened.
That’s why Jaehw.a.n.g was a solo damage dealer since the early days of his awakening.
Fighting a battle without knowing about what the enemy could do was risky. His only option was to prevent it from happening and his only viable option was to end the raid as soon as possible.
‘In that sense…’
This time, from the very beginning, he needs to do his best to kill the dragon.
Some had said that dragons could simulate all the possible futures on their minds. Following this, Jaehw.a.n.g closed his eyes and began to focus. He a.s.sumed all the possible outcomes of their battles, accounting for every situation where their fight turned for the worst. How much time has pa.s.sed? Jaehw.a.n.g ended up opening his eyes with a deep sigh.
-What is our probability of winning?
-49% or 99%
Quite extreme.
-You’re saying it’s either-or, isn’t that too pessimistic?
-It might sound like an excuse but there is no other way. There are way too many factors we don’t know yet.
-You are too pessimistic, a battle is about confidence, isn’t it?!
-I am realistic, a battle is all about the design. It’s not my style to just go full force. I believe that this is the right way to go.
-Hmph, can’t argue with that.
The impulsive and moody Goongi and the thoroughly computational Jaehw.a.n.g had no choice but to fight. However, the reason why Goongi holds a white flag here was that as a result, Jaehw.a.n.g was undefeated so far.
The only thing that they have with them is their confidence that they could win.
On the other hand, Jaehw.a.n.g said pessimistically, “I’m nervous about it. That’s why… this time, I decided to take a slightly anomalous and mean method to take her down.”
-Well, you have one shot.
-It’s alright, it’s not like we could help it.

The Atlas quietly flew over the endless dry wasteland.
An information agent who was watching the monitor for a long time shouted with his eyes wide open. “Orders just came from command. Current time, 8:50, capture the organized movement of monsters! A human female that was a.s.sumed to be the dragon has been identified.”
“The number of monsters identified by satellites and drones is between 60,000 and 80,000. Most of them are Tier 3 monsters, but there are also a lot of high-level monsters above Tier 5.”
Jaehw.a.n.g shook his head.
“Is there a difference of 20,000?”
“The number of monsters in the underground is fluid.”
Jaehw.a.n.g nodded at his explanation. The key to stopping this raid was the monster that was hiding in the bas.e.m.e.nt. They were not so good for Jaehw.a.n.g, he cannot hit an enemy hiding underground.
“The monsters are starting to gather!”
Three-dimensional maps came to mind on a huge screen on the ceiling. Red dot… or red waves were constantly gathering in one place. Not only that. New red spots began to appear.
“The underground monsters began to surface. Their numbers were more than what we expected!”
“Tier-9 h.e.l.lworm! Appeared! Oh! Two! Two! Ask for a code grant to get us some help!”
The appearance of two tier-9 monsters broke the agent’s complexion.
Nine tier monsters now and in the past was a symbol of fear. The h.e.l.lworm was a monster that had not been raided so far. It was a type of monster that likes to burrow deeper underground, only surfacing to eat before hiding back to its territory once again.
Of course, the reason for them to not actively consider raiding it was that the fact that the h.e.l.lworm’s territory was responsible for controlling the population of monsters in the desert.
“Power and poetry.”
Jaehw.a.n.g knew L was playing around.
No, she was a joke dressed as a human disaster. What’s even more frightening was that her limit was still obscured from their view. The Dragon concluded that she could do so much more and that’s why they were doing their best to stop her here.
“I entered the Mojave Desert.”
The landscape of Jaehw.a.n.g’s outward view was not much different but the eyes of local intelligence agents who knew this place were getting pale.
“I don’t see any monsters.”
Always one or two groups of monsters were swarming around but at this moment, none of those monsters was visible.
On the horizon, they saw the tallest building in Las Vegas. The city was still a long way from the considerable highlands, and Atlas had no choice but the start flying in place.
That’s when they realized that they could not even see the sands. The area around Las Vegas was now crawling with monsters.
That was it. They soon detected some Tier 5 aerial monsters coming in and if they went all in at them, Atlas would be scrambled as if it was a piece of junk.
“Get out of here.”
“Yes… Sir… sorry. ”
The captain’s face in fear co-exists with relief and sorry at the end of Jaehw.a.n.g.
“Vooooooo…”
Atlas slowly began its descent.
When Atlas stopped about 20 meters above the ground, Jaehw.a.n.g opened the helicopter door and jumped out.
“Tatak…”
Atlas soared back into the air as soon as Jaehw.a.n.g landed, leaving him alone as it disappeared over the horizon.
“Whooooosh….”
The sweltering heat of the wind came through the gaps of his armor.
Fast defense prevents only those effects based on magical energy, which was a tremendous amount to Jaehw.a.n.g who blocked his face with a full-faced helmet.
“Clack….clack…”
After the helmet was released, Jaehw.a.n.g began to walk slowly, holding it with his hand. It took him quite a while but he finally arrived where those monsters were.
“Krrrrrr…”
“Krrrr…”
Monsters threw wild lives mixed with fierce hostility towards Jaehw.a.n.g. He felt by instinct that he was not in the same circle as the dragon.
The monsters did not fly to Jaehw.a.n.g, rather, they slowly began to withdraw, paving a way for him to walk through.
Jaehw.a.n.g walked silently, with the monsters holding off their urges to jump at him and tear him off with the Dragon’s order.
“These monster’s stink.”
The road to the dragon was quite long and he was sure that those who were watching him were feeling the same way.
Jaehw.a.n.g, however, walked silently without any complaint.

L could be seen sitting on the top of the h.e.l.lworm’s head, gazing at him with the number of monsters at her side that would be enough to make an ordinary person die from a heart attack or make him/her beg for her mercy.
Jaehw.a.n.g looked up and faced L.
Her eyes look so bad. Jaehw.a.n.g didn’t have to answer her offer. If Jaehw.a.n.g had decided to become L’s G.o.d, as she said, he would not have had to walk this way. There was a more comfortable way for those who have the G.o.dhood.
L first opened her mouth.
“Why?”
It was a question that was eating her mind.
For that though, Jaehw.a.n.g had prepared himself an answer.
“Elus doesn’t have internet.”
“…”
Too funny for an answer… If someone heard Jaehw.a.n.g’s answer, he/she would ask if he was crazy. What a demiG.o.d, he had a physical body with a divinity that could reach the heavens but he was being held down by the internet. His reason was cheap, L didn’t even know if she should laugh or be angry.
Jaehw.a.n.g did not respond as she pleased.
This was the best answer he obtained by seriously asking one of the same wives in a similar situation as L.
What’s the biggest problem with a life of thousands of years? It would be boring.
Learning a certain skill or satisfying curiosity through books was also limited. L was very closed to the movement of information, it was as if she was still stuck in the middle ages.
For such immortals, the sea of information, the Internet, was like a new world. It doesn’t matter if the information that goes there was true or false. It was a great temptation for her to be able to exchange information with tens of thousands of people without the distance weighing her down.
it was something that humans did that cannot be made with magic.
L nodded affirmed whether her expectations were correct. “Yeah, that’s right.”
It was only made possible with wires going through the gate but once his plan goes through, everything would disappear.
Why is the Internet so loved? It was because of the endless variety of information that tens of millions of people produce.
In short, the Internet is not the Internet.
“Amazingly funny, but unfortunately I can’t argue with you.”
In the midst of civilization, he was able to taste and play with his SNS account recently.
Jaehw.a.n.g had just understood a dragon.
“I’m hoping that as a human being… please leave. Never again will the Earth intervene in L’s history. I will give you everything you want, and every human on this earth will welcome you,” Jaehw.a.n.g said.
But L shook her head with a bitter expression. “Can not help it.”
The monsters’ eyes began to change as soon as she changed her mind.
“Sorry.”
Jaehw.a.n.g also pulled out the arch on his right hand.
