The Norse world tree, Yggdrasil.

The final gateway remains before heading to Yggdrasil.

In the conference room of the headquarters of the Anti-Agency Headquarters in New York, Oripher was conducting a briefing.

“The apostolic forces are invading just a stone’s throw from the east! Song Yu-Hwan has been confirmed!”

I already knew that Song Yu-hwan would not let me go to Yggdrasil.

‘Now that Song Yu-hwan has landed in the US mainland. I can’t leave it alone.’

As a result, the time to head to Yggdrasil was later than planned.

Up to this point, this was what Crimson Teeth executives had predicted.

“There is no way to avoid it. All-out war with Song Yu-hwan.”

Crimson Teeth executives, including Oriphiel, heard what I said.

The forces in the eastern United States that had newly joined under its control also had a hard look on their faces.

A moment of silence in the conference room.

I knew the meaning of that silence.

“Yooje Song Yuhwan. That person was a monster that not even I could deal with. Now, I think I’ve even transcended that level.”

May Ren broke the silence and spoke.

As she said.

Song Yu-Hwan had been advancing toward New York, bypassing the southern United States.

I’m going to die.

A word that can describe the strength of that absolute man in one word.

“We already had information that he was detouring to the south, so we prepared a double or triple defense line, but it was no use.”

Federico’s fists trembled.

Golden Face also looked like he was holding back his anger.

‘The elite of the New York Mafia and New York Heroes. They came forward themselves, but…’

As expected, it was not enough to stop Song Yu-hwan.

Moreover, it is not Song Yu-hwan’s sole advance.

Apostle of Valhalla.

Emperor Liu’s Roar, a higher-ranking SS unit than that elite team, directly participated in this war.

“I knew that the skills of the SS were great, but seeing their strength in person was on a whole different level.”

Golden Face had participated in the battle just one day earlier.

In order to maintain power, he did not jump in directly, but took on the role of guarding the rear.

It was enough to understand Song Yu-hwan’s power.

“Everyone knows the side effects of Chaotic. However, the seeds of chaos that have taken over the World Tree can now maintain the effects of chaos without any side effects.”

He was right.

The extermination camp they created.

High-purity chaos purified from there, and the demon energy of the end created by the world tree polluted by chaos.

As a result, Song Yu-hwan’s elites are able to maintain their level rise without any debuffs or side effects.

‘It will be difficult to deal with the power of New York’s forces.’

Of course, Crimson Teeth wasn’t playing around either.

Vice President Scarlett’s Ishstadt.

Chaotic antidotes were already being mass produced there.

So you can have temporary immunity to the power of chaos.

This means that you can counter that chaos rank up.

‘With that antidote, we can still maintain our defense line.’

However, the problem is that even without the rank up, the pure skill itself is higher for the Apostle.

The Apostles of Valhalla have already reigned as the world’s number one guild for over 10 years.

It was common for master hero level awakeners to become independent with their own forces.

Instead, the next Master Hero candidates are the SS.

A large number of people had gathered in front of Emperor Yu’s roar.

“Song Yu-Hwan I already knew that he had attracted a lot of talented people from all over the world… but I never imagined that each member of the SS was at the level of a master hero.”

Even Golden Face was amazed at the strength of the SS, which had already reached its full potential.

“If this continues, Song Yu-hwan will enter Washington as soon as tomorrow. It seems difficult to overcome inferiority. Even the Master Hero and the 8th Villain are encamped in front of him… but they probably won’t be able to stop Song Yu-Hwan.”

Everyone’s expressions turned pale at Mei Ren’s words.

Power briefing so far.

One premise was missing from the assessment of inferiority.

A power evaluation excluding Song Yu-hwan.

‘Even without Song Yu-hwan, we are already inferior in terms of power.’

If Song Yu-hwan was included, there was no chance of victory in the current war situation.

If I evaluate it calmly, I’m not sure that even if all the master heroes and 8 villains here attack Song Yu-hwan, he can win.

So no one is saying that out loud.

Silence followed.

And I stood up in that silence.

“……!!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me.

May Len. Golden Face. And even Federico is a strong player just by hearing his name.

However, I could feel the anxiety and despair in their eyes.

Then there is only one thing I can say.

I declared without hesitation in front of them.

“I will head to Washington myself. I am dealing with Song Yu-hwan.”

At my declaration, the once silent conference room suddenly became noisy.

“Unknown himself…”

“Are you saying that Unknown will deal with Emperor Liu directly!”

Everyone knows what it means to deal with Song Yu-hwan.

The impact of my declaration was very large.

But Golden Face suddenly stood up on the spot.

He raised his hand to calm the commotion.

“Everyone be quiet!”

After all, a hero representing America.

He is the monster who once single-handedly stopped the Gate eruption of the size of a super typhoon that occurred in the southern United States.

The one who destroyed even a real typhoon by penetrating its eye.

A lot of anxiety and disbelief at just one word from that powerful man.

Or the buzz of excitement and anticipation stopped in its tracks.

Golden Face broke the momentary silence and spoke again.

“Unknown. Let me ask you. Are there any chances?”

I answered his words without the slightest hesitation.

“Song Yu-Hwan will be the setting sun. The moon called Unknown will rise on the night he disappears.”

As I spoke, the trunk of the World Tree wrapped around my left arm began to resonate.

***

Yooje Song Yuhwan.

He was looking down at the people in front of him.

“Kheuk, keuhuh… Keek, keek…”

Eastern United States.

The middle of the road leading to the beginning of Washington.

There are huge craters everywhere, as if a large amount of meteorites had fallen.

It must have been a fierce battle.

Not to Song Yu-Hwan, but to the three people in front of him.

Three people floating in the air.

Although each of them was a master hero, two awakened people called the 8th villain, and a hero equivalent to him.

They were panting in the air, unable to even breathe properly, as if they were possessed by a ghost.

It may seem like an incomprehensible sight at first glance.

Anyone who knows how to see the flow of mana would be astonished.

Emperor Song Yu-hwan completely blocks the mana emitted by those three, and in turn controls their mana and strangles them.

It was literally the image of a Yuje controlling the entire flow of mana.

That realm is indeed the best in the world.

Song Yu-hwan, who actually accomplished the task, is not thinking at all about the three people in front of him.

‘Beyond this is Washington City. The building of the Ministry of National Defense is just around the corner.’

An impregnable castle that did not allow invasion by monsters or villains even during the Dark Ages.

It is a strategic point that is nothing short of a trophy of glory for the United States, which once dominated the world.

Of course, Song Yu-hwan, the hero who protected the world. During those dark times, we together protected the Anti-Demonstration Ministry of National Defense.

– As expected, it’s great. Song Yu-Hwan, thanks to you, Americans survived.

And the words of a man that suddenly came to mind.

At that voice, Song Yu-hwan briefly recalled the past.

Dark Ages. This is the strategic point that will become the axis of humanity’s counterattack.

Korean heroes, including Song Yu-hwan, also stopped the monsters launching a large-scale offensive right here.

And those days. Song Yu-Hwan was here with Letisane, a hero called the Grand Wizard.

His admiration and rival.

Although he was an unknown wizard who didn’t even have a name.

A true genius who has grown beyond himself to the point where he cannot even guess the size of the wall between them.

Yet Letisane always encouraged herself.

Although I respected that consideration.

At the same time, I hated that talent that could not be surpassed by any effort.

And that was the moment when those feelings of hatred solidified.

The only woman Song Yu-hwan loved chose Letisane.

The woman who is An Yu-min’s mother.

‘It’s all in the past.’

But now even all those emotions have transcended.

Letisane is dead.

And the title Absolute of the World did not belong to Letisane.

The end of the dark ages.

It was a time when the inferiority complex toward Letisane reached its peak.

There was a voice coming from inside Song Yu-hwan.

– If you follow that great will. Even those whom you could not overcome will become transcendent beings.

Although reason constantly shouted that we should not fall for that voice.

The words that he could overcome Letisane were stronger than the temptation of the promise of the greatest wealth.

Song Yu-hwan did not regret that choice.

The voice I heard, chaos.

That chaotic existence gave Song Yu-hwan the name Absolute.

Song Yu-hwan was also confident.

A being of chaos that even swallowed up the world tree.

The apostle who brought that great being to earth is An Yu-min.

An Yu-min appointed himself as Sado’s bodyguard.

‘I can feel it. Instead of mana, the great power of chaos flows through my body.’

Song Yu-hwan, who was lost in thought for a moment, finally discovered three people struggling in the air.

“Oops. I need to make it so you can rest comfortably.”

Pajik-

The mana of the three awakened people he encroached upon was instantly stained with chaotic magic.

The three people were unable to even leave a will in the air and were crumpled like sheets of paper.

“Ugh… Ugh… Hmm… Wow…”

The awakened people in America saw this and were terrified.

The awakened people are running away as if they were crawling on the floor.

Looking at them, you might feel a sense of superiority or victory.

Song Yu-hwan had no emotional turmoil.

“The apostle must have reached the heart of Yggdrasil. The demonic energy in the air has become thicker.”

You are the one who perfectly controls the flow of demonic energy.

Now he was confident that even if he had Letisane’s three divine powers, he could not be stopped.

‘Lee Jun-woo. No, Unknown.’

And the new owner of the three sacred weapons that created the myth of Letisane.

A person who became a world public figure under Song Yu-hwan’s instructions.

Inadvertently, a memory came to mind a while ago at the Theia Underground Tower where he was securing the three sacred weapons.

“Sia.”

I joined hands with chaos and abandoned all human emotions.

The same went for his wives and children.

But Song Xia was different.

Song Si-ah’s emotionlessness, paradoxically, most resembled Song Yu-hwan’s.

‘Just as I chose absolute power. Sia Did you choose love?’

The daughter is now with Unknown.

But I wasn’t worried.

If you kill the Unknown, you will be able to get your daughter back.

‘If you kill that Unknown, Letisane! ‘The persistent bad relationship with you will be over.’

After a while.

When all the awakened people in America who stand in their way no longer disappear.

Song Yu-hwan arrived at the National Defense Ministry.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t go beyond this.”

But there was a man who stopped him right there.

After confirming who the man was, Song Yu-hwan revealed his feelings for the first time since coming to the United States.

Song Yu-hwan laughed like crazy.

“Kkekekekeut… Unknown! How dare Letisane’s successor dare to stop me!”

Finally, Song Yu-hwan encountered Unknown again.
