Chapter 408 – [What Do You Do in the Rapture? Are You Busy? Can You Help Me?]
It was something that even an idiot could understand if he thought about it. It means that what they are doing now will fail and they should flee to Korea in preparation for the damage that will happen.
I wonder why it must be Korea, but Baek-ri shouted in embarrassment.
“Are you saying we’re going to lose?!”
“That’s why I said it was demoralizing. I’m really sorry, but if you want to save more people…”
“…………”
Anger welled up inside him, but that anger soon turned into self-loathing.
In the end, it is also your responsibility to listen to these words. The source of all her work was Baek-ri herself, not her.
It is rather shameless to be angry with the person who came to give advice with something that originated from oneself. Rather, if she is right, she will be a warning so that more people can be saved.
“But you won’t know until you try, right?”
“Yes, so please do your best. It’s not bad to just think of it as insurance and prepare.”
Fear arises. When she says this, she can’t easily imagine what the hell will happen. But in the end, it’s something you have to do.
“Please tell me one thing. I heard about it from Yejin, but this situation… Can it end well?”
“…I don’t know how many times that child has seen it, but I think at least the worst case can be avoided.”
“Worst case?”
There was only one thought that passed through Baekri’s head. Extinction of mankind.
That was the worst he could think of. But if he could just avoid that… He might feel a little relieved.
I heard it from Yejin, but I wasn’t sure because it was too abstract. Baekri, whose doubts had been answered, made up her mind.
“I will do my best. Even if I die. This is what I did and I am responsible for it.”
“Yes, I hope we win. At least I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart without pretension.”
What does that mean to someone who has already seen the future and is sure of what the outcome will be? Is it pure support, or is it pity for him who will go through the situation that will happen in the future.
Or it could be both. But Baek Li didn’t mind and stood up.
“One more thing. You’re human, but you’re a good person. It’s good to realize that.”
All that remains is the final battle.
* * *
A week passed, but the temple remained silent, only the door was open, and there were no hostile species. It’s like saying, come anytime.
In line with that, they, who could be called the Earth Allied Forces, completed all possible preparations.
Most of the master users gathered, and even if they were not as good as the force users who were put in, they were close to 10,000 people who had been in the field for more than a few years, and there was even support from the US Army, who joked that it was the strongest army on earth.
The unprecedented allied forces had the high ground in front of them. Even the humanoid enemy species are not visible, so you can safely approach the temple through air transport.
Numerous troops gathered only to overthrow one building, one person to be exact.
“Looks like I’m going to catch a demon king.”
“Is there a great demon king?”
“……Ah, except for that.”
William’s jokes didn’t even pay off.
The master users, including Baekri, not only prepared each other, but also adjusted the sum of each other. It was rare for all the master users to gather, so I was able to prepare a lot of tactics like never before.
At least they did everything they could. All that remains is to achieve the goal.
“…………”
In the end, Baek Li couldn’t awaken the colored resonator. He’ll catch on a little bit, but something important is missing.
It’s probably because he doesn’t realize what the nature of his feelings is… He couldn’t realize it overnight, with his distraught mind ahead of a big event.
“Don’t worry, are you ready?”
“……Yes, that’s right.”
Alyssa Near’s words were not known to her verbatim. She doesn’t know what kind of ramifications it will cause if she tells her to run away to Korea.
However, at least preparations were made for transporting refugees or bunkers. Whatever happens, the damage can be minimized.
“We just have to do our best to defeat him. Let’s see if he’s fine after putting lead bullets in his mouth.”
“……..”
According to Jacob’s words, a transcendent of that level would be fine even if C4 exploded in his mouth, not a lead bullet, but he decided not to tackle it for now. It’s enough for him to kill a fraud by listening to Alyssa Nier.
Soon, numerous transport helicopters began to take off. Because the number of people who can enter the temple is limited, not all of them can enter, but at least support from the rear was possible.
After ten minutes of flight, they arrived right in front of the temple.
It is not false to speculate that the temple was expanded as it was by using the disappeared enemy species as a resource.
“With this, we can put in far more than we had in Russia.”
“I think we can get in in thousands. First, let’s see if we can stop the door from closing.”
Ten thousand units of humans roamed around the temple, but there was no sign of anything. At least it means that nothing special happens until you enter the temple.
First of all, I checked various things from the outside. Can the temple door be prevented from closing, can the temple be destroyed from the outside, and so on.
“Shall we do the same as last time?”
Baekri unfolded the Taegeuk spiral mirror. I plan to smash the door like last time.
Tooooo!!!
The blow of disintegration hit the door of the temple. However, unlike the last time, the Raff energy did not dissipate easily.
“Huh!!!”
Aaaaa!!!
Then, Saladin swung his war hammer and hit the part where Baekli opened the Taegeuk spiral mirror, but only a small part of it was broken. At least one fist.
The damage was too small for what was done, and even that damage began to be restored in a form never seen before.
“Uh?!”
“This…….”
Gluck! Gluck!!
As if the metal had turned into a liquid… Or rather, the temple itself swelled like a living creature and restored the broken parts. It is a phenomenon never seen before.
Seeing that, they realized again that they wouldn’t be so easy this time.
“Is it something different because the fanatic himself is there? Or did you change the setting to focus on defense?”
“It must be difficult to break the door that has become something. It can be broken, but it wastes a lot of energy, and if it is restored anyway, there is no need to use unnecessary effort.”
“Besides, that… I didn’t listen enough even with my attack.”
In terms of conceptual superiority, Baekri’s Taegeuk Spiral Gyeong is higher. This is because the martial art created by understanding the algorithm of the ability called ‘decomposition’ can exert a level of power comparable to it even if it is not the person who has the ability.
However, unlike other temples, the rap energy flowing through the temple was dense and the output was high. Above all… The moment they attacked, it was clear that the temple itself had a will.
If you are determined and open the Taegeuk spiral mirror, you can destroy it like last time, but you can’t stop it from being restored. Rather than thinking about it, it’s better to spend energy on something else.
“In the end, I have no choice but to rush in?
“I want to go in as many as possible…”
“If they’re observing this way, there’s a way.”
“Yes?”
“It’s about letting the regular Force users in first.”
“Are you going to drive me to limb again?!”
“Are you saying that after the collapse of the Soviet Union?
“Then, is it good for the hypocrisy of depriving human rights under the name of the Patriot Act, a capitalist pig?”
“Why are you two fighting over something like that?!”
“Leave it alone. It’s a fight for the pride of each national team.”
When it comes to the most powerful country on the planet, most would say the United States, but if you were to pick two, they would include Russia. Moreover, even though it was ruined, the Cold War atmosphere of the Soviet era remains, so there is no shortage of bickering.
Stopping Jacob and Sofia from arguing and fighting, on the other hand, I listened to Sofia’s opinion.
“They’re observing us. And the priority target is probably us.”
We are the same, but the target is different. In the case of the former, it refers to the allied forces, and in the case of the latter, it is the master user.
If he had set a trap, it was clear that the target was a master user. In particular, if Gar-Rekal was hostile to Baekri by calling him the apostle of this planet, it would be natural to aim for him and the master users, who were the greatest threat.
“Besides, the last time someone was sent, even if you went in separately, the door wouldn’t close until the power was turned on.”
“You mean the door will be closed when we get in?”
“I can’t get in all of them though.”
The inside of the temple was a huge auditorium-like place where hundreds of Force users could battle. On top of that, the American temple was much bigger, so it was as huge as a football field, and could fit in thousands.
If forced to enter, all the force users in units of 10,000 would be able to enter, but they would not be able to fight properly. It would be daunting to fight in a space where it was difficult to move as it was densely packed like a steamer of bean sprouts.
“First of all, we’ll select the best among them and enter. Of course, we’ll be the last.”
“It’s not a bad opinion… But something like a tank?”
“I think a force user would be better against him.”
“Hmm, I guess so.”
The higher the level of the transcendental, the more they deviate from the laws of physics. Even if the U.S. Army, which is said to be the world’s strongest army, entered after being determined and armed, it was clear that it would not be able to be used for blindfolding, let alone wasting time.
At least they knew in their hearts that a force user would have to enter to become a meat shield. This is because everyone except Lee Kyung-jin and Sonic felt the strength of Gar-Rekal while dealing with his avatar.
“Then let’s begin.”
According to Sophia’s opinion, the door did not close even when the Force users who entered first entered. It was a moment when I was convinced of their opinions.
Thousands of Force users who were fully prepared were no different from a armed force capable of overthrowing the state without firearms. If there were Master User and Baekri, the Grand Master, then…The current Earth’s greatest strength.
However, I wasn’t sure that I would win with such power. Because the opponent was such a transcendent.
“It’s our turn.”
“Don’t let me in”
Finally, Master Users and Baekri entered the temple.
Magnificence almost as if entering a dome-shaped soccer field. However, the sensation of not feeling life and only feeling something soggy gives goosebumps.
Wooooo!!
Soon the door of the temple was closed. It was quite terrifying to just move and close the door without any device, but I braced myself and prepared to clench my fist or raise my weapon.
The interior of the temple suddenly lit up. It seemed that the lights were turned on, but there were no facilities. There is only a light bulb that shines a soft and dull green light.
Someone’s will resonated in such a temple.
[You’ve finally come this far]
“You son of a bitch!!! Where are you!!! Fanatic bastard, come out now!!!!”
He can’t even see his avatar. He only hears the will. Baek-ri shouted and provoked him, but he just laughed and passed it on.
[To come directly to the place of death without dying. Don’t count courage as virtual. But in the end, it’s obvious that you will despair]
“What, what, what? I destroyed two temples, so just destroy this one and it’s over?
[I will do as you wish]
Woo woo woo!!!!
The temple began to ring. The floor in front of them cracked open, revealing itself despite not having any seams.
On the outside, it resembles a human, but there is only a sense of alienation, as if looking at an unpleasant valley.
Green eyes, especially seen in humanoids. The power that comes from the light in the eyes evokes fear to the point that the moment you meet your gaze, you will feel a sense of disgust.
But no one backed down. If I had been that determined, I wouldn’t have come to this place in the first place.
[This is the first time I’ve seen it in person. Yeah, how would you like to kill it?]
“What we’re going to say bastard!!!!”
The baekli roared and rushed at him.
