Chapter 487 – 487. Manipulation

Number 13 quietly closed her eyes.

The wound is deep. Standing next to the corpses of the forest keepers who fell after her death, she silently contemplated her inner self.

‘Can I catch the god slayer in this state?’

To be precise, he is a person who wants to achieve a new death. Because she hasn’t killed God yet.

Anyway, in issue 13, she thought that she was not sure if she would be able to capture the person with the power of killing God.

I wasn’t sure. The future has always been opaque, but now it was dark beyond opacity.

‘Let’s calm down. Since when did I think deeply…’

#13 fed her corpses to the ruins.

Just like the first time I absorbed the forest keeper’s corpse into the wall. This time, she also absorbed all the bodies of the forest keepers who fell into the ruins after she died and erased them.

This is her rite of passage.

It is a method of obliterating and erasing existence itself. Furthermore, it was possible to use the power of erasing and erasing from all things.

It will be erased from everyone’s memory. Of course, to go that far would be a miracle comparable to a god’s death.

In any case, the offerings were of good quality, so Mara Papiyas will be able to hold out a little longer.

Currently, Mara Papiyas has denied the existence of her person to avoid her death. In her sealed state, there is no way she can properly use her authority. She definitely won’t last long. So, No. 13 made offerings to her own god in her spare time.

‘Hold on a little… Longer.’

No. 13 went down again.

Like a snake crawling into the abyss.

She enters the tiger’s den with two fangs clutched.

******

Thirty minutes have passed since No. 13 went downstairs.

Five women were gathered in a hidden room on the first floor of the ruins of the Dark King.

“Still not able to connect?”

“Still.”

Cheshire had already signaled hundreds of times to Jang Jo-jun with a worried face.

However, none of them reach I couldn’t break through the barriers the giant had put up.

“Hmm.”

On the other hand, Jillian was thinking that this situation was very uncomfortable and strange in light of her experience up to this point.

As Gillian’s head, which had been hardened from her panic, relaxed, she began to spin tight. She’s a bit late, but it’s a relief that she’s starting to use her hair now.

“How is this possible?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Jung Ji-yeon, who had been staring at the ground sullenly at the fact that she was trapped in a historic site, asked Jillian’s words to herself. Then Jillian answered, pulling out her latest notebook.

“No. Could God intervene to this extent? It makes no sense. There must be no causality left.”

At her words, Bella, who was agitated to see if anyone was approaching her, nodded.

Jojun Jang often gives feedback to his party about the current situation.

For example, various information such as the Golden Fleet seen in a dream on the day he slept with Sataniel, that the Pantheon of Gods is struggling because there is no causal law, or that the Pantheon of Mangwi and the Pantheon have become one.

Of course, most of the party doesn’t understand such advanced information properly, or it’s just a case of listening to it with the mind that it’s like that.

That’s why the scale is too big for them to intervene or agonize over, so they give up on thinking at all. It’s like you’re busy living day-to-day, but you don’t bother about the world situation.

But Jillian was different.

An outlier, full of honor student temperament, and full of enthusiasm for learning, she had written down almost all of Jang Jo-joon’s words.

“No matter how much Mansinjeon and Mangwijeon become one…Even if they replace gods, this is strange. How many gods are you replacing just to catch the dark king? Isn’t the unit price right?”

As she thinks, this is a strange thing.

In the case of Hilde and Mer, it is assumed that they were able to lock them in the barrier because neither of them were players, but here there are only three players.

First of all, there are Ella and Bella, and Jeong Ji-yeon, who was caught in a daze, is also a player. There are players, but there’s no way they can interfere to this extent.

Doubts became certain. This is weird overtly.

“It is not the work of God. It’s a trick.”

“What?”

“It’s strange. Do you really want to consume the causal rate like this? It can’t be. There’s no way the jjomsaengs of the pantheon could have used the law of causality at random like this.”

“Sure..?”

“Colossians are deceiving. Just put it up The real cause blocking the doorway is… Inside.”

“Isn’t that the god slayer who is said to be in the depths?”

Jillian shook her head at Cheshire’s question.

“It’s impossible for a mortal to create a barrier like this while wielding the power of god-killing. Even if the software can follow, the hardware can’t stand it.”

“…”

“The center of the barrier is not the one who wants to kill himself.”

Jillian is close to the answer.

This is not something that can be solved by catching the new killer alone in #13.

“We need to find the core of the barrier.”

The important thing here is that Jillian is a pure scientist.

“Anyone well versed in magic?”

“Uh.”

“Hmm.”

“I am a marksman.”

“Ah…”

The important thing is that everyone here is the only one who has no ties to sorcery or sorcery…

Ella and Bella are assassins, and Jeong Ji-yeon is an engineer, not a wizard.

Even Cheshire was an expert in marksmanship and had nothing to do with magic.

“It sucks…”

Gillian took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. No matter how much I think about it, the answer doesn’t come out.

Obviously, the God Slayer will not be alone. He must be fully focused on killing himself. Therefore, it is better to think that there are others who protect him.

Can No. 13 take care of them all and get rid of the god slayer by himself?

“Impossible.”

Jillian recalled the state of Unit 13.

‘It’s not normal. There’s no way a crazy bitch can fight without going crazy.’

Therefore, Ro 13 is unconditionally defeated. If left as it is, Unit 13 will die fighting, the Dark King will die, and everyone else, including the person trapped here, will die.

“Let’s move too.”

Jillian stood up.

“Are you moving?”

“Now?”

Ella and Bella asked back in disbelief. If you go out, you will die. They believed that

The fear was already in place.

“It’s too late now. You two have to complete your 2nd awakening within an hour.”

Gillian answered her twin sister, adjusting her glasses.

2nd awakening. The only way normal players can deal with Transcendentalists.

“This is the ruins of the Dark King. You can do it. You two have to go through your 2nd awakening here without No. 13.”

“…”

“Is that… Possible?”

“Huh.”

Jillian tapped her wearable on her wrist.

“I just got a clue.”

The scan of the first floor was finished a while ago. Since No. 13 went into the darkness of the second floor and the connection was cut off, Jillian had searched the entire first floor with a drone in the form of a mosquito.

“I don’t know about the completely hidden trap. But… The mapping of the first floor is over. Let’s go. If you can only do the 2nd Awakening, you have a chance. And there was definitely a room with clues for the 2nd awakening. I am going there.”

Jillian is a mad human who tried to fight the evil spirits until she was kidnapped by her two tribes and brought to the black market.

Extremely rational, but a madman whose goals are too idealistic.

A scientist who studies monsters in order to kill them.

She was, in a sense, an expert on evil spirits. So she looked for clues. She has found the sanctum of consciousness.

“Ready.”

Cheshire picked up her equipment as if everything was already ready. Cheshire was already on the move when Jillian asked her to go out.

“I’m wearing a headset.”

“Good.”

Gillian sat down on her seat.

Then she rips out the broken warp gate and orders Jeong Ji-yeon to build a small transceiver.

“I’ll take command from here.”

Jillian conducts from the hidden room, and Cheshire leads Ella and Bella.

And the two assassins arrive at their destination safely and undergo a second awakening.

“Maybe?”

“It would be better to do something than to stand still.”

“The forest ranger hunters might be coming here soon…”

“The delay blocks you as much as possible.”

“Ah..”

“Let’s struggle.”

Jillian pulled her cable from her palm and inserted it into the small transceiver that Jeong Ji-yeon connected to.

“Ah. I can hear?”

“Listen well. I will be back.”

Cheshire stepped out of the room.

Cheshire, Bella and Ella entered the ruins full of traps everywhere.

******

About 100 Japanese bullies.

They looked at Jang Jo-jun as if they were embarrassed.

“Who among you is Ryuji?”

Of course, Jo-Jun Jang brought the fragments of the Tower of Babel from Hell, so they could communicate with them.

However, those who did not know that fact were quite embarrassed when Jang Jo-jun and Jang Jo-joon communicated.

“Ryu, Ryuji…”

“Hey.. You’re calling.”

“These bastards…”

Akayama Ryuji frowned as he watched those who subtly pushed his back.

Obviously, he felt a deep disillusionment with humans when he saw the people he had followed as leaders until 10 minutes ago immediately betrayed him.

Can not help it. They gathered because they saw Ryuji’s strength from the beginning, but they did not have true loyalty to him.

“I-I am… Ryuji Akayama.”

“Okay?”

Jojun Jang looked the Japanese in front of him up and down. He is also small and dwarfed. However, the amount of magic power seemed to be overwhelmingly high among those gathered here.

If the magic power is high, it usually has a hidden class. So this guy must be Akayama Ryuji. Zhang Zhaojun stretched out his hand.

He stretched out so quickly that he couldn’t even react in Jang Jo-jun’s hand.

In an instant, a bundle of tentacles stretched out and wrapped around Ryuji’s body.

Without even a chance to activate the skill, the Shinseojo, who were gathered in an instant, took a step backwards, not knowing what to do.

The scene where Jang Jo-jun, who is almost 2 meters 20 cm tall, and the 170-centimeter-tall Japanese face each other, reminded me of Guan-wu and the dying janitors from the Musou series.

“Turn it off!!!!!”

Soon after being captured by Zhang Zhaojun, Liu Ji’s whole body was twisted, his bones were broken, and his muscles were bursting.

With blood pouring from his eyes, mouth and ears, Ryuji passed out while standing. He can’t stand it.

Thud!

After releasing the tentacles, Zhang Zhaojun threw Ryuji Akayama, who had become a vegetable man, at the underground people who followed him.

Too simply, the head of the Shinsengumi, which was called the terror of Tokyo, was kidnapped.

“Oh, no!!! Fuck!!!!”

Of course, the strongest among those gathered was Akayama Ryuji.

Such a person was contorted and half-dead in just five seconds, which was enough to spread fear.

The scumbags who plundered the residents under the name Shinseonjo ran away madly when they faced a real monster.

I believed I could run away.

“Aquinas.”

“Hey.. Yes, Master. I am here.”

“Catch them all.”

“Yes!”

Aquinas, who appeared next to Jo-Jun Jang, smiled brightly and nodded his head at Jo-Jun Jang’s command.

At the same time, a swarm of thousands of insects stretched out from her shadow.

A swarm of roaches rushed at the fleeing people. Little wheels come rushing in like waves. Like a tsunami, swarms of insects swept away those who were fleeing.

“Ahhhhh !!!

“OMG!!! Kimo!!!! OMG!!!!”

“Daskete!!!!!!!”

The worms stuck to it, ripping out the flesh, and slicing off the eyes and ears.

Those who struggled fell one by one and lost consciousness. Those who courageously came to deal with Jang Jo-jun collapsed helplessly.

Like people facing a huge natural disaster without any resistance.

“Keuk!! Self-aim!!!!”

Fortunately, Tsukuyomi’s apostle, who was among them, drove out the bugs and fired the amulet at Jang Jo-jun, but…

Fire.

“Uh..”

Blocked by Sora Nanase.

Compatibility does not match How can you stop the apostle of the sun god who has already completed the second awakening?

“Ahhh..”

Tokyo will fall into the hands of Jojun Jang.

The entire Japanese archipelago will fall into his hands.

“Let’s use Japan as a supply base.”

At Zhaojun’s words, Nanase Sora nodded her head.

Transformation of the Japanese archipelago into a logistical base.

A breeding ground for parasitic entities of all kinds, including mushroom men.

******

“Huh~”

Keker, who was in the middle of the kitchen waiting for dinner.

Keker, who had already become accustomed to Korean food, and had entered the stage of enjoying cheong-gukjang, smelt the scent of fragrant squid radish soup and licked his lips.

“Here you are.”

“Oh oh. Good.”

Keker, who took over the tray from the restaurant lady, went to her usual seat. He is the so-called Keker-only seat, and no one in hell looked past that seat.

If you go against it for no reason, you will be beaten to death.

“Let’s see.”

Stir-fried anchovies, seasoned eggplant, boiled pollack boneless, and seasoned green onions. It was full of side dishes that Keker loved so much.

“I’ll eat well.. Ugh. Woo-wook..”

Right before putting freshly cooked rice into your mouth with a very excited heart.

She felt sick to her stomach for no reason.

Something, something was about to come up.

‘What?’

It’s not normal vomiting.

Something that had been swallowed was trying to come out again.

“Ugh. Wooweeek!!!!”

In the end, I vomited in the cafeteria, and only Keker.

What she vomited was a dwarf woman covered in saliva.

“This.”

Kekker wiped her mouth and swung her fist right at her vomited being.

She had eaten so much that she couldn’t even remember what the protruding beings were, but they weren’t friendly.

I decided that it would be better to kill the other person first before they came to their senses.

“Wait a minute!!!!”

At that time, the naked woman who had vomited out shook her hand and dried her keker. Just before her fists reached her, she screamed again as the barely dodged ear-deaf stepped back like her rat.

“W-Wait!!”

“…”

“Me, I am not the enemy!”

“What are you talking about.”

“The World Tree is in danger! Are you not my helper?”

“?”

“What, what. You… Uh? Who are you? The World Tree is in danger… Where is this place?”

The year of shouting the world tree at the center of Manma.

Keker realized that the other person was not normal. He would die horribly because he was still unknown, but it would be like shouting out to be tortured.

“Hey, watch your mouth. Then you can’t die gracefully.”

Even the world’s Keker was worried about the safety of the dwarf woman.

“That, not that. Ah. How do I explain this?”

“Reveal your identity first.”

“My name is Ainus. The last daughter of the World Tree, the Traveler… She must have crossed the gate and returned to my world. Why am I here?”

“No, if you don’t know…”

“Not that. I-I have to go to the world tree right now! Urgent!! Help me!”

Someone approached Keker, who had no idea what to do when he suddenly appeared and looked for the World Tree.

“Keker. Calm down.”

“You…”

The Seeker of Hell dried Keker and held out her hand to the forest keeper who was sitting there.

Then, he answered Keker, who was staring at him as if he did not understand the situation.

“This woman is supposed to wake up when the World Tree returns to its source state. She is planted by Him…A kind of alarm.”

“He? No, why is something like that in me…”

“Yes, the inside of you is the easiest place to keep secrets.”

“What?”

“In the first place, the fact that you met Jang Jo-jun itself is a kind of inevitability…”

“It was inevitable that I met him?”

“The black market is the front yard of Manma. Changing the order of appearance of objects is not even a job.”

“Wait, then…”

All of the products that have been released so far have been fabricated?

“The good gods do it, but there’s nothing we can’t do. As long as the foul is not caught, it is enough.”

“Ah…”

“I have to go to Mr. Joon for now. If the world tree had returned to its original state, it would inevitably mean that it had become a weapon of death. Moreover, now Mangwijeon has become one with Mansinjeon. It means that a plan to kill some god was activated at the time this woman woke up. It’s an alarm made for that.”

“What the hell is this? I don’t understand.”

“You don’t have to understand. Just accept it as it is. Hmm. Probably the easiest to catch among the gods whose survival is uncertain right now… Only number 13 remains in the family…”

“Dark King. Mara Papiyas. Fuck this.”

Keker grabbed Ainus, the forest keeper, and ran out of the abyss.
