Ch.518Chapter 20. American Doblin (8)

I don’t enjoy gacha games, but if someone in a probability-based draw game consistently gets lucky, everyone would suspect they’re using “hacks” or “cheats.”

For instance, if they draw a 5-star hero every single time.

Or if they get a character with a 0.019% probability on their very first draw.

“Well, that’s lucky.”

It could happen once.

But.

“Snow White created ice crystals around her as soon as she was born…”

“Kim Ji-woo, born as the Goblin’s child, is S-class…”

“Yoon Yeo-woo was also born as S-class.”

“The Tae sisters, born as twins, were both born as S-class…”

If jackpots keep hitting without a single miss, anyone would become suspicious.

Think about it.

If someone won the lottery jackpot seven times in a row, would we think they were just lucky?

Absolutely not.

We’d think they were either a psychic who could see the future.

Or someone who hacked the computer system.

Or someone who rigged the machine to make their numbers win.

I have an ability that can produce similar effects.

I have the power to bestow something more valuable than a lottery jackpot in this world—the ability to pass down the silver spoon of supernatural powers to newborns.

“So the Syndicate needs to monopolize the Goblin. Or we could lend the Goblin’s club to other countries in exchange for tremendous benefits.”

“Like Thailand?”

“Something like that.”

Currently, Thailand, where the old political powers have collapsed and new ones are taking root, has been infiltrated by the Syndicate.

Thailand is becoming a pro-Syndicate world, to the extent that even lower-level members can operate without the executives having to step in.

“It’s important to prevent the Goblin’s children from being used as weapons of war by some power holder, and to ensure they don’t go berserk or become demons as they grow up. Above all, since they’re lives and children, the Goblin won’t stand by if someone tries to use his children.”

“That would be grounds for immediate execution.”

“Then…”

Ymir raised her hand.

“Did you get pregnant with the Goblin’s child to confirm this, Madam?”

“Not at all.”

The Head responded sternly to Ymir’s pointed question.

“I didn’t know before getting pregnant, but I found out afterward. Who wouldn’t know when a child growing in their own womb is being born with magical power?”

“But in other cases…”

“I read the future. Does that answer your question?”

The Head finally revealed another truth.

“After the Goblin impregnated me—”

“Madam. Isn’t the sequence of events a bit different?”

“After I forcibly stole the Goblin’s genes, I used my ability to see the future. A world where the Goblin’s genes would cover all humans in this world.”

Though the content was somewhat disturbing, the Head was serious.

“The Goblin’s genes mix with all human genes, and their children and their children’s children fight over the Goblin and mutually destroy each other. Earth’s destruction, the end.”

“…That sounds like a terrifying story simplified, but is it true?”

“It’s a possibility. One of the futures that could come. Among them…”

The Head slightly raised her head.

I embraced her tightly, and she closed her eyes briefly and shook her head.

“…Well, there’s also a case where the four executives fight over the Goblin in a love triangle and mutually destroy each other, leading to Earth’s destruction.”

“Us?”

“…That’s a bit…”

Even I think that’s a stretch.

The four executives causing volcanoes, storms, floods, and earthquakes while fighting to monopolize the Goblin’s love?

It would be more plausible if the four of us amicably held my limbs and shared the Goblin.

Which is what actually happened.

“There’s also a future where the Goblin goes crazy with lust and touches every ability user, and all the NTR victims whose girlfriends or wives were taken try to kill the Goblin, scorching the Earth.”

“That seems possible.”

“I think so too.”

Of course, it won’t actually happen, and I have no intention of doing it, but if I were the type of person whose brain was attached to the Goblin’s club, going around touching women indiscriminately, such a future would certainly unfold.

“Mr. Do, would you like to try that?”

“Uh… that?”

“Yes. Try that once.”

“…I am the Goblin. Conqueror of all women. From now on, I will plunder, dominate, and conquer every woman on this Earth.”

That’s what the Goblin, who became a demon in the original work, said.

After having his favorite executive, the Head of the Syndicate, and even his childhood friend who was his only bastion all NTR’d by the protagonist, the Goblin went berserk, becoming the final boss of Part 1, declaring he would take all women on Earth.

“When did you ever say that? Are you serious?”

“It was just a joke I made at a drinking party that the Head remembered. As if I would ever seriously say such a thing.”

“That’s right. Our Do Ji-hwan isn’t the type to say such things.”

“Thank you, Madam.”

Having the Head take my side feels like gaining an army of thousands.

Isn’t this happiness?

The fact that even if the world is against me, there’s always someone who will take my side.

The fact that it’s a woman who cherishes and loves me more than anything else, the fact that such a person exists, is nothing short of happiness.

Yes.

It’s because of such a person that I have value existing as a Goblin in this world.

“Now that you seem to understand the value of the Goblin, let’s talk about the project to make the Goblin the pillar of the Korean peninsula.”

The Head pointed at Ymir.

“The key is this: only we get to benefit from the Goblin’s abilities, and only those favorable to us remain as S-class in that country. And we rule that country with the Goblin’s children who are born.”

“Uh…”

“For that purpose, I first sent Do Ji-hwan to Korea. To infiltrate the academy.”

The Head removed my arms from around her waist and leaned forward.

“Send the mysterious man, Do Ji-hwan, who hides his identity, to Korea. And at the academy, find people who will work for Korea that the Syndicate will rule in the future, or those who will bear his children.”

“Madam. It’s problematic if you insert something different from the original plan now.”

“The plan did twist in the middle, but facts are facts, right?”

“Ugh…”

At first, it was like that.

“Those who are oppressed in Korea, those who are dissatisfied, those who want to change the system. Scout good talent from among them for the Syndicate. That was the initial plan.”

“What’s the changed plan?”

“Select women from such people, seduce them with a handsome man strategy, make them the Goblin’s women, and ‘share’ them.”

“…Share?”

Ymir’s expression became a bit uncomfortable.

“Yes, share. Since it’s unthinkable for someone to monopolize a man like the Goblin, we all share him together.”

“…I don’t quite understand.”

Ymir looked at the Head with an expression of genuine incomprehension.

“Madam, as a woman, if you truly love the teacher, wouldn’t you naturally want to ‘monopolize’ him?”

“……”

The part Ymir couldn’t understand.

“I can understand my position since I met the teacher late, I’m a latecomer. But Madam, you were essentially the first to have the teacher, and it’s a bit awkward to say this while sitting next to you, but couldn’t you have monopolized him without sharing with the executive sisters?”

“……”

“If I were in your position, assuming I met the teacher when he was single and pure, I would have monopolized him all to myself. Definitely.”

“That’s the difference between you and me, I suppose?”

“……That sounds like I’m—”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

One is quick-witted, and one can read the other’s thoughts.

“But there is such an intention….”

“Even if there is, it’s half in jest, not serious.”

“Being in a superior position….”

“It’s because I’m concerned about you that such thoughts come to mind. Enough to make you the Goblin’s ‘patriotic partner.'”

As a result, the conversation might seem a bit strange to listeners, but there’s no need to understand deeply what the two are saying.

“I love the Goblin, but I also love this world. I thought of one of the fastest, surest ways to bring peace to this world, and I just asked for the Goblin’s understanding.”

In the end.

“If I monopolize the Goblin, there’s a 99% chance the world will be destroyed.”

Just as all roads lead to patriotism.

“What if every time we add one more Goblin patriotic partner, the probability of world destruction decreases by 10%?”

“How on earth do you come up with those figures?”

“Statistics, statistics.”

“Hmm…”

Ymir tilted her head, seemingly unconvinced.

“Still, you’d want to monopolize him.”

“That’s why we’re sharing sensations, right?”

“Ah.”

With her head still tilted, Ymir’s mouth fell open.

“Don’t tell me that’s why…?”

“That’s right. Women like you or Baek Seol-hee experience indirectly through dreams, while we executives have a somewhat more direct experience through vicarious experiences.”

“……”

“Shall I be more direct? About why I thought I shouldn’t monopolize the Goblin alone?”

The Head approached Ymir, grabbed her shoulders, and met her gaze.

“Have you never thought about being killed?”

“……!”

Oh.

This is bad.

‘I’m screwed.’

Ymir ended up ’empathizing’ with the Head.

“Ms. Ymir. You’ve had such experiences, I’m sure. So have I.”

“N-no way… But still, you’re the Head of Yimemangryang, the leader of the Syndicate executives…!”

“But I’m a woman.”

The Head continued in a truly serious voice.

“Have you ever seriously thought about facing a fully powered, fully doped Goblin one-on-one and being killed by asphyxiation?”

Sometimes.

“Have you never once thought that if you were to handle this man alone for a lifetime, you would be killed in bed?”

Even if you love someone and marry them to become a couple.

Excessive sexual desire from one party can be grounds for divorce recognized by national law.

“I chose a harem in order to survive.”
