Chapter 2413 – 2413. Eternal Eden

I asked the awakened SS member.

“What is the awakened ability?”

When an awakened person awakens, they can instinctively know their abilities. Of course, I don’t know the characteristics.

“My ability is earth manipulation. “You can manipulate the soil as you wish.”

“Soil manipulation? I guess I’ll have to see it for myself. Someone go out and get some dirt.”

One of the SS members who had been standing motionless behind me went out. He is probably the lowest-ranking member of the SS.

He brought the earth in a cup. The awakened SS member uses the ability. The soil floats up and moves around.

“Can it be used offensively? Like shooting a gun. Try blowing the dirt as fast as you can.”

“Yes. “Your Holiness.”

He throws dirt in the air. Of course, it wasn’t as fast as a gun. Still, it is difficult to avoid by the average person’s standards. The problem is the power, but it doesn’t produce even half of the power of the gun.

He is sweating profusely. He is not used to using his abilities.

“Try using it defensively. Like making a shield.”

The earth clumped together to form a small shield. Since the amount of soil was small from the beginning, the size of the shield was also small.

I received a dagger from a nearby SS member and swung it at the earthen shield. Kang! The dagger bounces out. The earthen shield shook, but blocked my attack. My attack has the highest power among awakened people.

‘It’s an ability better suited for defense than attack. Is this even though I just woke up? It may be because I was trained as a member of the SS from the beginning, but as I become more skilled, I will become more useful.’

There was something more important than that.

It’s faith in me. There is a big difference between people having power and not having power. If you want to know people’s nature, give them power. Isn’t there a saying?

“Don’t be loyal to Kim Ji-hee.”

“Yes. “Your Holiness.”

The SS member spoke without hesitation. The earthen shield floating in the air falls to the ground helplessly. The intimidation I felt from him was relieved.

I looked at Jihee Kim. She was really embarrassed.

“You can’t believe you give up loyalty so easily… “Isn’t this what loyalty really is?”

“It depends on what you think. A soldier being loyal to his country doesn’t mean he gives up his beliefs. Be loyal to Kim Ji-hee again.”

“Yes. “Your Holiness.”

His loyalty turned again to Jihee Kim. Kim Ji-hee looked at me and her SS member with a bitter smile, as if she was being ridiculous.

“Kim Ji-hee. What happened? “Is this guy a guardian?”

“No. From the moment I abandoned my loyalty, I became a non-awakened person. Guardians awaken in return for being loyal to me.”

“Can I be appointed as a guardian again?”

“Yes. “No problem.”

His body sparkled. He becomes a Guardian again and has awakened. The awakened ability is the same earth manipulation ability as before. It seems that reawakening does not change abilities.

“Is it your freedom to appoint a guardian? Can it be canceled without conditions?”

“Yes. However, in that case, the original loyalty is low… “I don’t think this person will do that.”

That’s probably because the reasons for loyalty are different. The SS members were not the type of people who were fascinated by Kim Ji-hee or loyal to her because they wanted power. Originally, if I told him to die, he would die, so she is only loyal to Kim Ji-hee because I told him to be loyal.

‘Good.’

The corners of her mouth curled up.

Being able to easily awaken means that you can also know the abilities of non-awakened people. This means that we can know the potential awakening ability of non-awakened people.

‘For now, it is limited to SS members. I think other fanatics might be similar.’

“What happens to the awakened guy’s potential and characteristics?”

Players could learn about the awakened person’s abilities, characteristics, and potential by physically contacting the awakened person. It was a common ability for players unrelated to class.

「Individual name: Matthew Hong

Potential: ★★

Awakening Ability: Earth Manipulation.

Traits: Fanaticism, dexterity.”

Overall it wasn’t bad.

The abilities of the characteristics are also things I know.

Fanaticism. Mental resistance +70%. There are fewer instances of mental breakdown due to mental abilities, temptation, or emotions. However, it is difficult to handle because it reacts very easily to things related to the object of fanaticism. Of course, this is Na Chae-young’s evaluation.

‘You have to have fanaticism to be a fanatic. It’s actually better because you follow my orders unconditionally.

Handicraft. Efficiency of all actions performed by hand +30%.

Combat and production. It is a characteristic classified as Tier 1 because it affects most actions.

I had Kim Ji-hee awaken all of her SS members and find out their abilities and characteristics. Everyone had fanatic traits. This was possible because fanaticism is an acquired trait.

‘Unfortunately, there are no SS members with other useful abilities.’

I wasn’t disappointed. Because the SS members are not the only ones here. And even if they are not SS members, there are many fanatics.

What is important is that Kim Ji-hee proved her usefulness.

I declared in front of the SS.

“Kim Ji-hee is my apostle. She is the apostle who carries out my work and spreads my words. She is also the only religious leader of Seongjin Gyo, and she is a saint of Seongjin Gyo. Everyone in Seongjingyo must be loyal to Kim Ji-hee. Do you understand?”

“Yes. His Holiness. We will be loyal to our leader Kim Ji-hee.”

The entire SS knelt down toward Kim Ji-hee.

I watched Kim Ji-hee’s reaction. I thought she would dislike it or feel burdened, but I noticed that the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

‘Do you like standing above others? It looks like you didn’t choose the class called Lord for no reason. ‘

Originally, I had no intention of creating a religious leader in Seongjingyo, but… It’s different if she has a totem called Kim Ji-hee. Jihee Kim will give a wide-area buff to Seongjin Bridge in exchange for her becoming the leader.

“Kim Ji-hee. If you think it’s too much, you can quit.”

“… No. I could. I’ll do it. Please believe me, Your Holiness.”

Her eyes were shining as she clenched her fists. I was glad to see that she had motivation.

‘I guess I’ll just watch for now.’

It didn’t matter if she was incompetent as a religious leader. All she has to do is have Son Tae-hyung do her little things, and Kim Ji-hee can work as her face madam.

A few hours later.

A guest came to Seongak Elementary School. She came from the Ministry of National Intelligence. It is not surprising that an agent from the National Intelligence Service comes. Yeonhee Lee also visited Seongak Elementary School several times. However, the people who came today were all people I had never seen before.

I faced them in the reception room.

“Nice to meet you, Seong Yu-jin. My name is Shin Young-soo, 1st Deputy Director of the National Intelligence Service.”

He was a strict-looking middle-aged man. He didn’t like the sight of him wearing rimless glasses either.

“… First Deputy? “Where did Lee Yeon-hee go and why did you come here?”

Shin Young-soo’s eyebrows twitched for a moment. It was a very short and weak reaction, but I was able to recognize it right away as I was watching intently. He must have felt uncomfortable because I suddenly spoke informally.

“Deputy Director Lee Yeon-hee is currently on vacation. “She is probably at home by now.”

His voice was calm. As a deputy director of the National Intelligence Service, he had an outstanding poker face.

“Lee Yeon-hee on vacation? And without even telling me?”

“Haha. It’s the 4th deputy’s personal matter. Since I have taken over the duties that the 4th Deputy Director was in charge of… There will be no problems in terms of work.”

No matter how I looked at it, it was suspicious.

Lee Yeon-hee is a woman who is sure to get things done. She is not the type of woman who will suddenly hand over her duties to someone else and take a vacation. At least she told me. It’s not difficult to contact her briefly.

‘It might not be a vacation, but a probationary period. It’s a situation where you can’t contact them.’

Did Lee Yeon-hee do something wrong? No, in that case, I would have been disciplined rather than just given a vacation. I don’t know the details, but I’m sure something happened at the Ministry of National Intelligence.

I immediately picked up my smartphone and contacted Lee Yeon-hee.

“Are you contacting the 4th Deputy? There’s no need to do that, but…”

“Just shut up.”

“…”

The corners of his eyes trembled.

At that time, the woman behind Shin Young-soo jumped out. She was a short woman, about 150 cm tall, and her face looked like a steamed bun. Although she was ugly by my standards, she was ordinary by most people’s standards.

“For a moment! Brother! What are you doing so rudely earlier? And why are you pretending not to see me from earlier?!”

“Brother. This bitch is pretending to be friends just because she saw him sometime ago. No, wait. This voice… Are you the voice phisher who called a few hours ago? Nice meeting you, bitch. Let’s take a hit first.”

It was the moment when I raised my palm. Yeonhee Lee answered the phone.

-You are Seong Yu-jin. The fact that you called me… Is 1st Deputy Director Shin Young-soo there?

“Uh, okay. “Just a moment.”

You have to do what you have to do. I swung my palm at the steamed bread bitch.

“Ahhhhh!”

Sigh!

The bitch who got hit on the cheek fell to the floor. Shin Young-soo was surprised to see Jjinbang-nyeon’s condition.

“Mr. Seong Ah-jin! Are you okay?!”

I ignored them and focused on the phone.

“Uh, sorry. To educate voicing phishers. Vacation? “Is it true?”

-… Yes. It’s true.

“How long?”

-Unfortunately, I don’t know how long it will last. Because it was a vacation given by the President.

Was the vacation I knew something that could be taken indefinitely? No way. It’s a vacation, but it’s not a vacation if it doesn’t expire.

‘Mr President? Are you saying that that bastard put Lee Yeon-hee on probation? You sent that guy to me instead of Lee Yeon-hee? Are we going to fight? ‘

Instead of the beautiful agent in charge, a dark middle-aged male agent was sent. This alone was enough to make me angry.

“Can’t you put me in charge again?”

-Sorry. This is beyond my authority. By the way, I heard the name Seong Ah-jin earlier. It looks like the first deputy brought Eugene’s younger sister.

“… My younger sister? Ah.”

Now that I think about it, I had a family in this world. Not only my younger sister, but also my parents. As soon as I came to this world, I deleted the numbers saved on my smartphone and deleted family photos, so I completely forgot about them.

“Ugh, huh, huh, how could you do this to me…” ?”

Seong Ah-jin sat down on the floor and shed tears along with her nose bleeding. This is my sister?

-The agents under my command were quietly protecting Eugene’s family, but it seems that the first deputy chief contacted Eugene’s family directly. I’m sorry for not telling you in advance.

“It’s okay. Because I wasn’t really interested. Let’s hang up and call you later.”

After hanging up the phone, I observed the situation. Three National Intelligence Service agents are panicking in the background. First Deputy Director Shin Young-soo comforts his squeamish younger sister. And the two SS men behind me. The eyes of the two SS members were shaking. I felt a slight sense of confusion.

There was one reason. Because Seong Ah-jin is my younger brother. Because God’s family is God.

“Mr. Seong Ah-jin! “Well, let’s calm down for now!”

“Uuuuu! I’m going to tell everything to Mom and Dad! “I’m going to tell you everything!”

A bitch called my younger brother suddenly appears and eats the soybean paste from Seongjingyo that I cultivated? Absolutely not.

“Four years. It was so fucking loud from earlier. Ah, I can hear you. My little sister My fallen sister. Satan the devil inside you is doing evil! I will save you! Holy Thunder Kick!”

It’s so bad!

The kick containing the power of her lightning exploded on Seong Ah-jin’s head.

Puck!

Seong Ah-jin’s head exploded.

The National Intelligence Service agents look at me in astonishment. The SS members looked at me with firm faith.

I spoke to them solemnly.

“Listen everyone. There may be cases where people other than those I allow to refer to me as family. They are not my family. My family means my women… All physical blood relationships are meaningless. I distinguish family only by their souls, so if there are people who are not my family and call themselves my family, they are just satanic devils, so kill them as soon as you see them.”

“Your Holy Word. I will never forget.”

Confusion disappeared from the eyes of the SS members.

All that remain are National Intelligence Service agents. Part of me wants to eliminate all witnesses by killing them all, but… There’s no way these guys showed up in front of me without any insurance. If you kill an agent of the National Intelligence Service, it will be an all-out war with the government. Dealing with the military is difficult.

I decided to shamelessly go out. Anyway, the National Intelligence Service probably knows something about Seongjingyo. Seongjin Bridge has become too large to operate secretly.

“This. Something unpleasant happened for a moment. Well, it’s not important, so let’s talk about it among ourselves. “Get rid of that satanic devil’s corpse.”

“Yes. “Your Holiness.”

SS members recovered Seong Ah-jin’s body. First, since it is my sister’s body, I need to keep it safe. Because there might be something special in my blood. Maybe recovery is a blood ability.

“First Deputy Director Shin Young-soo. “Sit down.”

“… Yes,”

Shin Young-soo sat across from me in a more cautious manner than before.
