Part 1, Chapter 12-2

Yuseong’s private jet, carrying a Hero, former Villains, and six male superpowered individuals, soared into the sky.

The insane broadcast titled Mayor’s Business Trip to Russia became an issue that kept the entire nation, who had been trying to sleep, wide awake, and they witnessed with their own eyes all sorts of outrageous situations that couldn’t be seen on public television.

The Russian authorities, suddenly faced with the visit of one S-rank and four A-ranks-five, including the cameraman-couldn’t help but be flustered.

It took less than half a day from the immigration application to getting the plane airborne. If Baek Heea hadn’t used her connections with Praetor Yoo Young-ho, the plane might have had to circle the Korean Peninsula right after leaving Yeongjongdo, waiting for entry permission.

“In the meantime, we’ll be making an illegal entry.”

I briefly explained the plan to the girl I was holding in front of me. The gray-haired girl, still sulking, closed her eyes without answering.

“Are you listening? You’re not sleeping, are you?”

“Don’t use honorifics. It pisses me off because it reminds me of them.”

Hwanryong growled at me in a sharp voice. Just as Hwanryong said, using honorifics was Changyeom’s characteristic, and Hwanryong got quite irritated when I imitated Changyeom.

“……So, is this better?”

After I rejected Hwanryong’s confession, I started using honorifics because it became awkward, but Hwanryong wanted me to speak informally again. Since Hwanryong knew everything about me anyway, there was no need to unnecessarily maintain Changyeom’s persona.

“Yeah. Just speak like that. Even if I don’t like your voice.”

“……I can change my voice.”

When my rough voice, which didn’t suit Changyeom’s body, burst out, Hwanryong suddenly hugged me tightly.

“Just one favor.”

“What is it?”

“Repeat exactly what I say. ‘Even if the world perishes, I will stay by your side.'”

“……You really know how to embarrass someone.”

What could be more humiliating than being told to recite the protagonist’s lines from an omake? The problem was that the voice I was currently using was the original protagonist’s voice. Only Changyeom could hear my real voice, and Changyeom was being difficult, only allowing me to use her voice and the original protagonist’s voice.

“No.”

But I refused. Even if it meant being in a situation where I had to rely on Hwanryong, I didn’t want to say such words to her.

“Oh, why!”

Hwanryong threw a violent tantrum while still hugging me.

“Are you going to be like this even when I’m helping you right now?”

“There are things I can do and things I can’t. I can only say those words to one person.”

“Tsk, are you going to keep rubbing it in?”

As if choked with indignation, Hwanryong spat out her resentment and clutched my chest. But this wasn’t my chest, it was Changyeom’s, so the damage I took was zero.
“It’s useless.”
“……This is truly absurd. Do you really need my help right now?”
“Of course. To defeat Seongju, I desperately need your help. The help of all Spirits.”
“But can you treat me like this? Bluntly speaking, if I feel like it right now, I can choose not to revive them.”
Hwanryong pointed with her eyes at the backpack she was hugging. Inside were 25 colorful cores. The monstrous humans from the Azure Syndicate and Hwanryong’s group, having become cores, were being carried and transported in Hwanryong’s bag.
Flying at an altitude high enough not to be detected by radar, carrying only Hwanryong on my back, who would revive the monstrous humans, and keeping Hwanryong’s collected cores from falling.
The Phoenix, which had departed from Seoul, was flying at full speed towards Moscow after passing through Beijing airspace.
“Hwanryong.”
“What.”
“If you don’t want to, just take out the Azure Syndicate cores and get off.”
If Hwanryong’s group disappeared, it would be like half the personnel disappearing, but it wasn’t to the extent that I would desperately beg Hwanryong.
“Tsk. Would it kill you to say something nice…?”
Hwanryong grumbled but didn’t let go easily.
“You’re a really bad bastard. For once, I’m offering to synchronize with you.”
“How many times do I have to tell you I have no intention of synchronizing with you?”
“……Then how about this?”
Hwanryong grinned widely and poked my cheek with her finger.
“Should I synchronize with Gaeul? Then you can have me and Gaeul at the same time, right? Or what about that… Yuna, who synchronized with me in the future? Should I do it with her?”

“……Did you see me doing it with Yuna?”
Surely, of all those many omake, she saw that one. Hwanryong smiled slyly and subtly rubbed her butt against my arm.
“Isn’t my body quite firm too? Right now, I could totally… Ugh, it’s Changyeom’s body anyway. Never mind, I won’t do it.”
“I have no intention of doing it either.”
That was because it was Yuna. And in that scene, it was something I did because there was a reason for it; it was never my true intention. And there’s one most important reason why I don’t feel lust for Hwanryong.
“What with a child’s body?”
Hwanryong’s height was much smaller than Changyeom’s body, which I was inhabiting. Her chest was even almost flat, a physique that aroused no lust whatsoever.
“……I can inhabit other people’s bodies, you know?”
“But your default form is like this.”
“Hey. You, no, how much difference is there between Changyeom and me… Aish, I’m going to possess Gaeul.”
“Cheon Gaeul is my monstrous human. Don’t do anything useless.”
I warned Hwanryong in advance. But Hwanryong gently teased me, calculating the possibilities with her fingers.
“How should I do it for you? Should I possess her like I did with that girl Yuna, and you can have us both at once? Or should I separate during it for a 3P? Or do you want to be fucked as a woman? That works out well. If I possess a man’s body, and Gaeul also transforms into a man, we can even do it front and back-Ow!”
“What nonsense.”
I sharpened the nails of the hand that was hugging Hwanryong and pinched her skin. How dare she lust after Changyeom, whom even I hadn’t yet explored. Even her bullshit was top-notch.
“Why? Are you scared? Hehe, you’re scared of me, aren’t you?”
“I have some information.”
I stopped flapping my wings for a moment and looked down at Hwanryong.
“I heard you were possessing Mao Zeping and having some fun with Heuksagal.”
“…….”
Hwanryong averted her gaze from me. As if to say, like master, like monstrous human, it seemed she was actually having an affair that Baek Cheongyeong would approve of.
“Where were you planning to use what you practiced with Heuksagal?”
“Gaeul or you… Ugh, why do I have to talk about this embarrassingly?”
“You saw all my embarrassing memories, didn’t you?”
“Then just make it a fait accompli so it’s not embarrassing. You said it happened in the future. It’ll be easy to do it again. Come on, let’s synchronize.”
Hwanryong kept expressing her interest in me. Since I couldn’t keep repeating the same thing, I completely changed the subject.
“Once we arrive in Russia, first, possess a man. There’s no harm in being careful.”
“Is Rasputin that dangerous?”
“He’s like an Incubus, you see. There’s nothing more annoying than him betraying us and becoming an enemy after we finally recruited him as an ally.”
“He’s a really annoying enemy. Alright. I’ll revive them and then go into hiding somewhere.”
Hwanryong was Hwanryong, as expected. If it were Seok Harang, she would have said she’d wait outside Rasputin’s territory, but it was so obvious that Hwanryong wanted to send her subordinates and not do it herself.
“Aren’t you worried about Rusalka?”
“I am worried, but… it’s not like I’m going to possess one of my subordinates. And I’m not going to bring Mao Zeping’s body either. Ah, then this time, if I possess that Rasputin or whatever and really… Ah. If I do that, I’ll be ‘kyung-kyung’ed…”

There was no problem with Mao Zeping since he was an ordinary civilian, but since Rasputin was an S-rank superpowered individual, she was afraid to attempt body snatching.
“Because if I do it for nothing, I won’t be able to turn back.”
“Hmm… I see. Huhu.”

Hwanryong nodded as if she understood. She seemed to immediately grasp my situation, where I couldn’t save and load like in a game, and I had no reason to hide that it was a one-coin situation.
“If you betray me, everything will be destroyed, so it’s an unspoken pressure for me to help you, isn’t it?”
“If you know that, then keep helping me like you are now.”
“I don’t think that’s something you should say after rejecting my confession so harshly… Alright. Because there’s plenty of time.”
Hwanryong raised her head and brought her lips to my cheek-then, startled, pulled her face away.
“Ugh. If I kiss you, I’d be kissing Changyeom. I don’t want to…”
“…….”
Didn’t Hwanryong actually have a preference for bad boys? Even until the moment we reached Moscow airspace, I couldn’t understand why she was clinging to me, saying she liked me.
***
At that moment, when Phoenix and Hwanryong reached the vicinity of Moscow.

At the Vladimir family’s mansion, they were welcoming a young man who looked a bit older.

“Thank you for coming here, .”

Suvorov regarded Rasputin, the S-rank superpowered individual sitting across from him, with a complicated gaze. From a national perspective, Rasputin was a patriot who would prevent , an S-rank superpowered individual and a member of the Round Table, from leaving Russia through marriage, but as a father with a daughter he cherished more than his own eyes, he felt complicated in many ways.

“Not at all. I must do whatever I can.”

Rasputin bowed his head to Suvorov with a subtle smile. His tall stature, reaching 190cm, was no less impressive compared to Suvorov, and his burly physique, which couldn’t be hidden even by his priestly robes, was like a bear sitting there.

“I am truly sorry to you, for forcing this marriage upon you.”

“Not at all. I am one who has devoted myself to God. If it is Marshal-nim’s request, my honor can fall to the ground as much as it needs to.”

Rasputin picked up the paper Suvorov had offered.

“An annulment of engagement…”

“I am sorry in many ways. For leaving you, who has not yet started a family, with a bad record. I will surely repay you later.”

Suvorov even bowed his head and apologized to Rasputin, who put down the paper and shook his head.

“It’s alright. I am truly alright. Rather, I am worried about Undine-nim. According to Marshal-nim’s plan, won’t Undine-nim have to repeatedly get engaged and break off engagements?”

“That’s right. …My daughter hasn’t heard it yet.”

Before Suvorov could even speak of his plan, Anastasia locked her door. No matter how he asked for a chance to speak, she erected a cold wall of ice, blocking even sound.

“Even if I had told her, she wouldn’t have listened. My daughter is completely infatuated with that damned scoundrel right now.”

“Ah, that…”

Rasputin couldn’t bring himself to utter the uncomfortable rumors circulating among the public. It was a rumor that was very embarrassing even for him to hear, and the person in front of him was the father of the person involved in the rumor.

“It’s alright. It’s something everyone in the world knows anyway. …That my daughter had a passionate affair with a young man in Korea.”

“…….”

“Not only did he take my daughter’s virginity… but he also walked her in the park with a dog collar outdoors…”

Crunch. Suvorov ground his teeth and clenched his fists, and Rasputin was anxious that the anger might be directed at him. Although Rasputin’s level as a superpowered individual was much higher, the father’s rage towards the man who targeted his daughter was difficult even for Rasputin to endure.

“It’s just a rumor designed to deceive the public. Surely Undine-nim wouldn’t have done such a shameless thing?”

“…….”

Suvorov remained silent. He couldn’t bring himself to deny it, as he had already heard things, making it difficult to flatly deny it.

“…Ahem, I understand. But please rest assured. I will follow Marshal-nim’s will. After having a meal together, we’ll make it seem like Undine-nim rejected me, won’t we?”

“That’s right. The… reason is…”

Suvorov scratched his head. To fabricate a plausible reason for annulment against a perfect top-tier groom in his own eyes, there were many problems in many ways.
His appearance wasn’t lacking, nor was his wealth insufficient, and his superpowered abilities were at a peak, rivaling Undine within Russia. If he hadn’t been attached to Russia, he would probably have been taken away by other influential foreign families through marriage long ago; Rasputin was that valuable a talent.

“I have a good idea to reform all at once those impious individuals who claim Undine-nim is… promiscuous.”
“What is it?”
“It is…”
Rasputin pointed to his crotch with his eyes and smiled proudly.
“You can say that we went to bed for our marital life, but mine was so big that Undine-nim was shocked the moment she saw it.”
“……Would people believe that?”
Suvorov snorted and waved his hand.
“She’s already a girl who’s being cursed worldwide as a loose woman. But she had sex with you and fainted from shock? That’s absurd. Furthermore, I don’t know how confident you are, but-”
“I can confidently say.”
Rasputin placed one hand near his forearm and gripped it.
“There will be no one bigger than me in this world.”
Rasputin’s black eyes were sparkling intensely with confidence.
