Chapter 269: It’s unusual – 2
#1
“It’s a common phenomenon. And I don’t think it’s that bad.”
“…”
“My goal is not to do a Monster Raid.”
“Phew… yes.” Irumi ended up affirming with a low sigh at Jaehw.a.n.g’s words,
Yes, she knew that the man she loved secretly was not a type of man seeking honor or power. Being like that part of him, she must be thinking in the same way, but it was not that easy.
“By the way, how is that going? The Mana Wave,” Jaehw.a.n.g asked to change the atmosphere. He’s asking about the shaking of Mana he sensed on his way back from the raid.
“Yes, I’ve looked into it and it’s pretty extraordinary. It was now understood that the phenomenon you mentioned has been observed worldwide.”
Jaehw.a.n.g’s expression got serious at Irumi’s answer. He felt a strong mana trembling as he came back. It was not just the rise of Mana before the emergence of the gate. He ordered Irumi to investigate it and it was a significant fact that the phenomenon was observed all over the world.
“What about Elus?”
“According to the information just came in, the same thing happened to Elus.”
Jaehw.a.n.g nodded at Irumi’s words. “It’s starting, right?”
Jaehw.a.n.g had a hunch that the three levels of total unity were just around the corner. It was exactly what Baeklin used to say. He said it was supposed to start in two to three years at the latest, and that was exactly right.
“Shouldn’t we announce it to the world?” Irumi asked and Jaehw.a.n.g nodded in agreement.
The world must now also be given an ultimatum. The vested interests might slip through or not listen to Jaehw.a.n.g’s words, or they could use it in their favor, as he fears.
Jaehw.a.n.g had some expectations and if they ever lived up to those expectations, he would talk to them about the upcoming end and think about it together. However, they repeated the wrong past with the human power being reproduced at the disappearance of the Tier-9 Monsters with Jaehw.a.n.g’s help.
“Men are true to their desires.”
They haven’t changed. Rather than liberating those suffering from monsters, they justified the sacrifice of others for their own benefit. The ones that own strive for more, and those that lack everything struggle to survive within the boundaries made by the ones that own everything.
They didn’t need the help of the present human race in the first place. There was no place for them on the expedition to the Dark Earth. Jaehw.a.n.g had already been to the Dark Earth alone, and the only thing he felt while he was landing there was the fact that nothing but himself, Goongi and the Dragons could help him. To be honest, the only dark Earth monsters that came to Earth were minor ones that had been at the bottom of the ecosystem.
Previously, Baeklin forced-open the gate to push Tokyo to the brink of collapse.
At the time, Jaehw.a.n.g tried to kill Baeklin with rage but later, it turned out that it was a form of vaccination. It was Baeklin’s vaccine to teach what kind of catastrophe happens when a super-large gate that leads to Dark Earth takes place in the heart of the city. That’s why the unstable gate only spat out the Ogamus.h.i.+ and dissipated.
If the Dark Earth gate was much larger than it was now, the separation of tiers by humans would be meaningless. What’s more frightening was that all those monsters were governed by one being.
That one being had no exact name.
When he first got there, Jaehw.a.n.g was embarra.s.sed. Baeklin used to describe it as a battle of the worst monsters of all kinds, however, it was filled with ordinary monsters, which were common on Earth. It was no different from Earth or Elus except that it had a high oxygen level and not many plants. However, just one day was enough to learn about that being. The bottom line was that it’s all just a disguise.
Ruler.
h.e.l.l began as soon as Jaehw.a.n.g noticed the existence of it.
He was the ruler of the Dark Earth. It was not just a ruler. Literally, it was the kind of ruler who controls the body and spirit of all living things in Dark Earth.
Unbelievably, it had a divine nature. It was very rough, but it was definitely divine. A being with a more powerful divinity than Jaehw.a.n.g, that’s the Ruler.
Jaehw.a.n.g also shared his feelings with it. No, it was more like a unilateral notification than a sharing. It just told Jaehw.a.n.g how it felt.
It was as if it was looking at an insignificant being. There was no such thing as a welcome to the world or curiosity about the existence of the same divinity. Only the message of submission… And from the moment Jaehw.a.n.g rejected it, it began to test him.
The monsters began to systematically attack Jaehw.a.n.g as if it were humans raiding monsters that had invaded the earth. Sometimes hundreds of thousands of monsters surrounded the area, and sometimes hundreds of monsters over Tier-10 attacked him.
Those who looked like the Ogamus.h.i.+ also rushed as a crowd. The difference was that it was 1.5 times bigger than the Ogamus.h.i.+. In light of them, Ogamus.h.i.+, who had been raided in the past, was just a baby.
Whenever these ones move, the earth vibrates like crazy. The land was not just land. Even that was within the Ruler’s sphere. Usually, the existence of those monsters was beyond common sense, but their appearance and size were really abnormal.
Recognizing dozens of uncontrollably powerful monsters approaching, Jaehw.a.n.g escaped straight to the Earth’s gate.
To be exact, he couldn’t proceed with the raid without exposing more information on this side. He concluded that human weapons were nothing more than toys to them. Baeklin’s words were all true. So now, he was waiting for Baeklin to create the Dimension Stabilization device.
“Have you informed the World Hunter’s Office of its seriousness about this?”
“Yes, we informed it that it is a harbinger of full-dimensional fusion and the Dark Earth is intense.”
“What about the video?”
“We also released the video.”
Jaehw.a.n.g did not go to dark Earth without purpose.
He’s been filming all the monsters in the Dark Earth in order to persuade the pathetic politicians who were only thinking of using the Dark Earth for their benefits. But, he’s been putting it on hold. To be honest, he was worried that the people would give up in fear when he released those videos. He hesitated, considering whether mankind could overcome the shock.
Irumi then said, “But Jaehw.a.n.g, I don’t think any decision they make has that much meaning.
At Irumi’s rather cynical words, Jaehw.a.n.g gave a bitter smile. She was right. Actually, there was no meaning, but isn’t it better to know and be attacked rather than not knowing it at all? Jaehw.a.n.g only wanted them to at least accept that fact and use it for humanity.
If not…
He would beat them up so that they could become more sensible and look at the situation properly.
He will show them how violent he could solve things.
“I just believe in myself.”

The World Hunter Office convened a special emergency meeting. It was not just a call-up, it was a gathering of secret organizations that had been kept in a secretive route. The real decision-makers of mankind… The decision-makers here meant not the president of the country but the people involved in the long-held secret organization existing throughout the history of mankind. The reason why it had an emergency meeting with these people, not the secretary-general or presidents of Hunter Office in each country was that the information from the Martial Arts House was so shocking to mankind.
The people who dominated the world behind the scenes had gathered together. The meeting was held as a videoconference because of the gravity of the matter. Samuel Lin, the secretary-general of the World Hunter Office, stood in a circular hall shaped like a giant charnel house. The name of the place was “Dark Zone.” Dozens of people in the monitors were looking down on him. No matter how ambitious he was, he didn’t want to face those people in person
Even Samuel Lin, the secretary-general of the World Hunter Office, opened the door for the first time after using it only once when he took office.
“We will hold a meeting on dimension fusion announced by the Martial Arts House to determine the future existence of the Earth. We’ve already given you the prior information and video, so please give us your candid opinion,” Samuel Lin said.
“Before the Master Archer appeared, we’ve already been constantly gathering information about the Dark Earth, but you’re telling us to ignore all that information and believe this new one?”
At that man’s words, Samuel Lin looked at him with a slightly unexpected look. One of the family members of that man had been helped formerly by the Master Archer, so he thought that the man would talk on the side of the Master Archer to some extent; but unexpectedly, his voice sounded like his mood was unpleasant.
“As you know, our World Hunters’ Office cannot ignore the Master Archer, and I think that the information is pretty credible.”
“You’re trying to escape your responsibility, Samuel Lin. You are the Secretary-General of the World Hunters’ Office, or are you just a messenger?
A voice with little contempt…
“Yes, it is. I don’t think any of my judgments about this will help,” Samuel Lin simply admitted to being incapable. Whether what Master Archer said was true or not, there was nothing that he could do about it.
“The ruler of the Dark Earth…Ruler. Yes. From the information sent from the Master Archer, he’s a true ruler. If the Dark Earth monsters that it controls became our neighbors, the human position will be put to the ground in one breath. ha… ”
“Be quiet.”
“Huh? Captain. How dare you order me?”
The figures on the monitor were briefly noisy and one black shade, which had kept its mouth shut, calmed the others and said to Samuel Lin, “Quiet. Samuel Lin, I’ll ask you directly. If the Master Archer’s words are true, is the post-convergence controllable? I trust your opinion. So speak freely,”
His voice sounded like there was honey on his tongue, but Samuel Lin was not at all relieved by those words. Just by a flick of a finger of the speaker, Lin could fall from the position of the secretary-general of the World Hunter Secretariat to the worst-ever villain. Lin, who cleared his voice, then replied, “It’s not possible right now.”
Samuel Lin answered without a bit of thought. If the Master Archer’s words were true, there was no solution for the present human race. Was it possible to even squirm?
“For now?”
“Yes, it’s absolutely impossible to respond to the attack with the current system that we have.”
“You are saying…?”
“Yes, I think we need to build the last survival front for all mankind, which was discussed 60 years ago when the Great Convergence took place.”
There was a moment of calm in the hall at Samuel Lin’s words, and…
“Hahahaha…”
“ho…”
A gloomy laugh rang through the hall. Samuel Lin, of course, was not embarra.s.sed. This reaction had been already expected. He didn’t expect the plan of the last survival front of mankind to work in the first place. It was discussed only in the trial phase and in their position, it was an unfinished monster survival plan.
To bring together all of mankind’s power and while stopping all disputes and quarrels, all men would only prioritize the survival of mankind and unite their forces.
This plan requires that after stopping all economic activity, humanity would go against the monster. All limits on humanity’s last weapon; the nuclear bomb, were lifted. The last underground to protect humanity was built while including a plan to launch a s.p.a.cecraft containing the DNA of all life on Earth into s.p.a.ce.
“We can’t accept that fact.”
Only those words echoed through the hall.
“Also, ask the Master Archer to appear in the hall and explain the fact.”
