Chapter 481 – Outbound Earth (21)

On TV, on YouTube, and on street billboards.
All the screens that people’s eyes can reach were popping up like advertisements.

[Kyaaah-!]

A woman walking down the street encounters a monster. The monster rushed at her, sticking out its growing horns on her head. Originally, I would have been killed without any resistance, but the woman activates the necklace I had.

Then, powerful magical energy emanates from her necklace and wraps around the woman’s body. The monster that touched her shield lost her kinetic energy and came to a standstill.

The woman still sits on her floor, only letting out her screams, and the monster, realizing that she cannot harm the woman, makes a quick run.

After her monster is gone, the woman sighs in her relief and goes home, fiddling with her necklace.

[Fantasia─ Keep your future in your hands.]

After the advertisement, the introduction of the necklace and various magical items begins. It was a very expensive item for self-defense, but as a magic tool, it was ridiculously cheap.

Deok-gu looked at Do-jin as if he was dissatisfied with the advertisement.

“What is that ad? Clumsy.”
“Why? Wasn’t it plausible?”
“Since you made the dungeon, monsters don’t appear anymore.”
“You can adjust it so that it comes out.”

The moment he heard Do-jin’s words, Deok-gu realized that the being in front of him didn’t care about people’s lives or human rights at all.

To Do-jin, who can destroy mankind at any time according to his mind, the lives of several human beings are too light.

He said let’s keep a few of them. He wasn’t the type to lose himself.

“It has changed. Many.”
“What?”
“No. It’s okay if you don’t understand.”

Deokgu said so and moved on to the next problem. Mass production of magic tools was a problem.

“How are you going to solve this?”
“Actually – it’s already been resolved.”
“What? I didn’t get a report like that.”
“I was linked with the US side. Instead of sharing technology, they decided to take responsibility for mass production.”
“Isn’t that dangerous?”

Seeing Deokgu reply as if he was worried, Dojin shrugged his shoulders.

“What?”
“Well, these days, deep learning is an era where artificial intelligence can figure out everything. What if we reverse engineer that technology too?”
“I can do it.”

It was true that Dojin shared technology with the US, but he really only shared how to make those things.

He did not share rudimentary knowledge of magic.

He taught me how to make a smartphone, but he didn’t tell me how to make the C language, how to make semiconductors, or how to make the parts that go into it.

Of course, if there is a truly ridiculously brilliant genius on the American side who can disassemble and interpret all magical technology just by looking at it, it would be possible to copy the same technology they shared…

“Even so, it’s a long way from reaching the magic studied in another world.”

“No, that side didn’t develop that much until they made a smart wand or something made by Noah. How vicious are the people of Earth. Didn’t you read something like ‘The Road Not Taken’?”

“Oh, I read. But there is a crucial difference between those novels and the situation we are in now.”

“What is that?”

Dojin pointed to himself and smiled.

“Me.”

An overwhelming force capable of dealing with the entire earth alone.
That was the difference between the various subcultures suffered by earthlings and the situation they are now facing.

Deok-gu, who heard Do-jin’s words, spat out a laugh as if it was absurd.

“Yeah, you just eat the best. Kill them all if you don’t listen. Right?”
“If I had thought of that, I would have done it right away. I love the Earth.”
“You? You love your wives who love the earth.”

Seeing Do-jin smiling without an answer, Deok-gu trembled as if he was anxious. Please, I just prayed that other countries wouldn’t do the trick.

‘No, I just like anyone, so buy it in moderation and pay for it.’

Even if something happens, it is better to explode all at once, and it is better to explode now that China, the neighboring country, has collapsed.

Only then will humanity know what kind of existence Do-jin is.

China is ruined
Even if the United States openly interfered in internal affairs, it was so ruined that no one could say anything. China was destroyed in this way, and there was no way other countries would not show interest in the land.

Neighboring countries. Russia, Japan, and leader have begun to extend their black hands toward China.

[China struck a preemptive blow against us, Russia.]
[There is no evidence, but the missile fell anyway.]
[This is a legitimate retaliation, and we will never tolerate acts that interfere with it… ]

Russia was the first to move. Russia sent troops under the pretense that the already ruined Chinese government had launched a preemptive strike on their territory.

Surprisingly, each country just watched Russia’s actions because they thought that Russia still had the power of the former communist empire-the Soviet Union.

Thanks to this, Russia began digging up Chinese land without any problems, and leader, which was right next to it, saw Russia and quickly began sending troops disguised as civilians to Chinese soil.

Hong Kong and Uyghur declared independence, and countries that were entangled with China began to benefit one by one.

In the midst of benefiting so much, there was one country that was stomping its feet. It was Japan.

“Damn it, damn it- why would you ruin it at a time like this…”

It reminds me of the era of the Japanese Empire, which trampled on Korea as before and went up to China and ate even Russia. I wanted to recreate the glory of that time, but I lamented that I couldn’t.

However, if there was a meal that one could not eat, it was human beings who overturned it so that the other person could not eat either. Japan immediately proposed to Korea.

“It seems that the top is noisy these days.”
“Ha ha, yes. Yes. It’s a mess because China suddenly collapses.”
“Thanks to that, a lot of trouble has arisen on our side as well. Where should I make all those materials right now?”
“That is a big deal.”

While saying that, Hasegawa, a Japanese politician, looked at Kim Se-hyeon, a politician on the Korean side. Kim Se-hyeon, as if waiting, started talking about some factories in Korea.

Of course, there was no way that they could process the materials that were said in Japan here, or deliver them properly.

However, as an intermediary distributor, it would be easy to skip commissions. Kim Se-hyun was also aiming for that. In fact, all the factories he recommended were factories run by his relatives, or factories that lobbied him.

Hasegawa couldn’t have known that, but he smiled and said he would remember it. He didn’t care if a few factories got stuck with one or two more subcontractors, and the quality got worse, or the price went up.

“That’s why—there are a lot of people on our side who are interested in the big market these days.”
“Oh, you see.”
“I think it would be better if the road was not blocked…”

It meant that Japan also wanted to put a spoon on Chinese soil. It’s a matter of course, but since Korea is blocking the passage to China, such a thing was impossible.

In other words, it was possible to sneak in and use a hand if that Korea would turn a blind eye to it.

“Hmm, that’s a bit…”

Kim Se-hyeon, who could not take the lead in such a big deal with only a little pocket money, let out a quiet voice. Hasegawa, who knew it would be like this, immediately brought out another move.

“If you keep foreign substances on your body, your flesh will rot. We can introduce you to our doctor.”
“… Is that possible?”
“Of course. I have a good doctor.”

Sehyeon listened to Hasegawa’s words and fell into his thoughts. Eyes of politicians. It was Dojin.

Doesn’t he arbitrarily break into the Blue House and have a private meeting with the president? What the hell did he do? He made the Chinese people stand up for themselves and even destroyed the country called China.

He was a dangerous person who could freely manipulate modern civilization, so he was a person who wanted to get rid of it, but at the same time, he was a powerful person who could not be eliminated thanks to his ability.

If such Dojin could be eliminated, it was not difficult to open the way to China for Japan.

“… Is it possible?”
“Permission, will you?”

Seeing Hasegawa’s confident attitude and expression, Kim Se-hyeon quietly nodded. If only he could get rid of Do-jin ─ because there was an astronomical amount of things he could gain from it.

The two of them laughed and shared a drink, and the next day – a talented person from Japan arrived in Incheon by plane.

“Is this Korean?”

He inhaled the air of Incheon Airport, frowned slightly, and spat.

“You can feel the filthy Josenjing air.”

A person belonging to the Japanese government.
Miyamoto Musashi, the sword god, moved in search of Dojin.
