Chapter 406 – [What Do You Do in the Rapture? Are You Busy? Can You Help Me?]

The situation in the United States was not so bad, at least if you look at the whole of America, but if you look at New York, it was a devastating situation.

America’s No. 1 economic city, which was called the Big Apple, caused numerous damages due to the expansion of red species and temples. At least, he responded faster and more reliably than China or Russia, but perhaps taking that into consideration, Gar-Rekal himself first appeared in America and built a temple himself.

Fortunately, however, the scope was limited to New York.

New York is certainly a well-known city that will often come up by name if anyone asks the capital of the United States, but geographically it’s not a very good city. This is because there are few places connected by land, and most of them are surrounded by the sea or river.

If you cut off the bridge and camp and block it, it is a place that is easy enough to defend. Such geographic conditions have been of great help in maintaining the United States so far.

“Things aren’t so good here either.”

Baekli muttered as he read the report.

The last remaining stronghold. And the Master Users gathered in America, the most important place where Gar-Rekal himself was located, were lost in their own thoughts.

Excluding those who are currently dead or missing, all master users currently on Earth are gathering in the United States. In particular, master users such as Sofia, William, and Saladin, who moved together in Russia, arrived quickly with Baekri in the United States. Of course, even with the exception of American master users like Jacob.

The only ones left are Sonic from Australia and Kyungjin Lee from Korea. Among them, Lee Gyeong-jin promised to come, so he was on the way to borrow the presidential plane.

“But it’s better. Compared to our country…”

“Yes, it’s not the world’s most powerful country for nothing.”

“No, Mother Russia would have at least responded to this level if it hadn’t been for the previous situation.”

“Are you fighting pride here?! When will the Soviet Union fall!!!”

The current situation is not so good to talk about the height of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States.

It’s relatively good, but in fact, it was meaningless if we couldn’t deal with the US base. Gar-Rekal was in a very unfavorable situation to fight without the worst or the worst, the transcendental one who had no one to oppose on Earth.

No, even if Yong Ha-yeon is present, he can only win against his avatar, but it is not easy to predict whether he will be able to win against the main body.

Because one of the five leaders who rule a civilization for thousands of years cannot be weak.

“For now, let’s wait until the other master users gather.”

“That would be nice”

It was only natural that the strongest of this dimension had to be present in order to stop the strongest of the other dimension. At least we have to wait until Lee Kyung-jin and Sonic get together.

Of course, that time is at most 3 days. Sonic, who is busy processing the original species in Australia, needs that much time, so it takes time. Of the two, Kyung-jin Lee arrives first.

“The size is not much different from the Russian one, how to say…”

“The quality and number of troops are different”

“Is it the difference between a city that once collapsed and a city that is bustling?”

“That……..”

“It’s okay. Don’t talk about it. If Russia wasn’t like that, it would have been a problem enough, so you don’t have to make excuses.”

“Isn’t that an excuse?!”

“Let’s say that. Actually, there is not much difference between Russia and the United States, isn’t it?”

“That’s right”

“No, affirmation there?!”

Saladin stepped out to restrain Sophia. I wonder if it was like that.

No matter how much the Soviet Union collapsed and Russia was established, the atmosphere of the Cold War at that time did not easily disappear. If at least a thousand years had passed, I wouldn’t know again.

The base that appeared in Russia was the battlefield where the worst and the 7th corps commander Lulu appeared and fought, so the damage was not insignificant.

Even now, the scars left by someone who reached Moscow have been roughly restored, and even more people are in the process of restoring work in Yekaterinburg, where the base appeared… Thanks to that, they have become food for them.

“The US base hasn’t had enough strategy planned yet. It will take time, so let’s rest until the other master users arrive.”

“That’s a good story, let’s do it.”

It was a natural story. Even thinking about the work in Russia, it has not yet been properly replenished for what has been consumed, and the US base is not worse than Russia.

Worst of all, there was Gar-Rekal in America’s temple. Not an avatar, but a transcendent being comparable to the worst or Yong Ha-yeon.

Fear hung over them, but they tried to ignore it. Because they still had hope.

There is only one remaining base, and master users are gathering. In that situation, they began to overcome the darkness little by little.

At that time, someone shouted and broke into the meeting room and delivered the news.

“[Heavenly Sword] Lee Kyung-jin says he will be arriving soon!!!1”

*        *     *

Currently, there are only a handful of master users left on this planet… So, except for Baekri, the grand master, there are only a few left. And when one of the two who had not yet gathered, Lee Kyung-jin, who remained, showed up on the presidential plane, it was natural that morale temporarily rose.

It was the same with Bailey. Because he already knows how strong he is.

When the worst ranked master user, no matter what reason he gave, it was the heavenly sword that always took the top spot.

The colored resonance sword he possessed belonged to a high level of technology even in other advanced dimensions. Although the base is Yong Ha-yeon’s Spatial Resonance, his Gray Resonance Sword acquired from there is definitely the best among master users.

Considering that even Yong Ha-yeon is dangerous if he is properly hit by his Gray Resonance Sword, you can feel how powerful it is.

“Uncle, it’s been a while”

“I kicked the fuckers out of Korea and came back. It’s not a metaphor, it’s for real”

Currently, there are three nominal master users in Korea. From heavenly sword Lee Gyeong-jin, Shutendoji Hibiki who moved from Japan, and grand master Baek-ri. It is three.

But now, Baekri and Hibiki went out and Hibiki is missing, and Baekri shows no sign of returning, but the only wall is Lee Kyung-jin. Hibiki, whose whereabouts are unknown or almost certain to be dead, can be ignored.

Anyway, he arrived in America. A long time ago, despite Alyssa Near’s foreknowledge, he, who had been taking care of his daughter by asking the worst, came to America himself.

He honestly couldn’t help but weigh differently.

“I’m sorry I’m here now, there are so many people interrupting me”

“It’s okay. But where are you from now?”

He nodded at Lee Kyung-jin at Baek-ri’s words. At least not at the worst. I don’t know if it came before that.

“Let’s prepare enough. We have some time left until the last member arrives.”

“Hmm!!!”

It’s out of the blue, but the worst power is to indiscriminately and unconditionally kill those weaker than oneself. But where does the judgment that he is weaker than himself come from?

A person can lose even if his specs are weak, and conversely, he can win even if his specs are below. If so, there will be a clear standard below the lower end of the range.

In short, the difference in rank. As a Transcendentalist, as a Master, or as a Master User or Grand Master, if you are below your level, killing without questioning is the worst authority.

The story went back a little, but considering his power, the highest-ranking being on the current Earth was Lee Kyung-jin, since Yong Ha-yeon left.

His Gray Resonance Sword had such value.

“If you can achieve spatial resonance, the next step is to make up your mind. The difference is whether you can throw away all your thoughts and bring out the pure purpose that remains.”

“Uh……..”

“It’s okay to hesitate. I wasn’t sure either, but thanks to the worst, I realized it.”

You know your own mind best, but on the contrary, there are times when you don’t know your own mind the best.

I don’t know what his upright mind that threw away his thoughts will mean. It’s been a while since even Lee Kyung-jin learned that the color ‘grey’ he expressed actually means the emotion of compassion.

“The colored resonance sword manifests differently for each person. You are different from me, so I don’t know what color it will manifest.”

“…… In the end, it seems to depend on my efforts.”

“So work hard”

Baekri, who heard the advice from Lee Gyeong-jin, responded and devoted himself to training every day.

And over time, Sonic from Australia reached America. The people who dealt with the original species were all gathered, so the master users finally gathered.

Master users from Russia, England, Turkey, USA, Korea, and Australia, including Grand Master Baekri, all gathered.

“It’s a pretty cool sight, but the situation isn’t zero.”

“I didn’t want this to happen in the first place.”

“I mean, wasn’t it about three at most?”

There has never been a gathering of all Master Users in the 20 years since Force Users appeared. Even when I wasn’t a master user.

As each country and region covered, there were at most three people who were dispatched… That’s how much this situation could be seen as a crisis.

“First, let’s share information.”

The enemy species that came out of the dome in New York were treated with overwhelming fire by the US military, preventing their expansion as much as possible. Unlike Russia or China, which were built in the middle of the inland, it is thanks to the easy defense.

But in the worst case, it could use nuclear weapons like Russia did. It will require a complex process, but Russia’s decontamination equipment still exists.

However, hostile species are not a problem.

The most important is Gar-Rekal in the temple. He was at least the strongest transcendent among the people on the present Earth.

“Spatial interference… It’s good that this can be canceled out.”

“But it’s not infinite.”

“Have you not analyzed the behavior pattern separately?”

“Provocation is easy and there are few patterns.

No matter how strong a power is, if the person who uses it is imperfect, there is a gap. Furthermore, Gar-Rekal runs the extreme of inefficiency and illogicality of being a fanatic.

Even if it comes to mind right away, if you attack with enemy species inside the temple, it will be difficult for them to deal with and you can seek more safety, but they do not do it, and the structure inside the temple takes the form that people use. Even though there is only one person that can be called a human, except for the humanoid species.

“To defeat him, I need either my Spatial Resonance or Mr. Lee Gyeong-jin’s Gray Resonance Sword. I’m not ignoring others, but objectively speaking, I think it’s impossible for others to give him a fatal wound.”

“Hmm…… Can I assume that guy?”

“If you look at it hopefully, you’ll be weaker than your older brother.”

All the master users gathered here now had bad, good or bad ties.

Jacob and William had fought together, and Sofia and Lee Kyung-jin even fought each other. Saladin was almost killed… But at least none of them were ignorant of the worst force.

And I remember him as the Great Demon King. A feeling of coercion that does not tolerate disrespect. And to the horror that made the difference in rank real, he was really relieved when he was an ally, but he had already left this place.

It’s because of Baekri.

“………..”

Baek Li comforted him by rationalizing his self. He only remembered that if he destroyed only the last remaining stronghold and defeated Gar-Re-Kal, he could win completely.

It is painful to lose the protection of the Great Demon King due to his hasty judgment, and the victims caused by it are part of Baek-ri’s responsibility, but at least it should not be made meaningless.

Like the story that William said while taking his side in Russia, Baek-ri’s choice will be the right one if he defeats him.

It becomes a choice that is infinitely close to such an answer, where no more hostile species come over and are not threatened.

Thump thump!

Then, someone knocked on the conference room door. And they come in without permission.

There is no one who does not know that this meeting room is currently being used by master users. Even so, it means that it is urgent news that such an action is taking place.

“Now… No, I’ll upload the video right away!”

Perhaps he decided that it was better to see it in person than to explain it, and he projected the situation on the spot in real time through the projector in the conference room.

Military reconnaissance satellites show the current situation in the sky. It’s a bit jittery because of the energy dome, but the satellites aren’t inside the dome, so there’s a recognizable image.

There, with the temple in the center of New York, the gates of the temple were open. Not only that, but I can’t see a single enemy species around me.

It looked like surrender. But that could never be the case, so that meant one thing.

“You’re telling me to come in.”

“It must be a trap.”

“What happened after being hit with a nuclear weapon?”

“I’d rather be like that, because if the madman’s taste is gone, he might return to normal.”

Not sure yet. No, it’s a trap in the first place. Because the door to the temple in China was also open.

It was a trap even back then… It was obvious that the temple where Gar-Rekal was located would be a trap.

“As you can see, all the enemy species around them disappeared without a trace, and the last thing we saw was a group of enemy species entering the temple facility. Since then, the temple building has been enlarged, so it seems that they are either trying to concentrate on defense or have some purpose. It is clear that there is”

But there were advantages. It means you don’t have to face numerous enemy species around you. As much as that, the opponent is also confident, so it must be that way.

I didn’t have the stupid idea of ​​going in right away. Even if it was a trap, figuring out what kind of trap it was was the top priority.

Because you know that there is only one left.
