Ch.522Chapter 20. American Doblin (12)

A Surprising but Not New Truth.

Ymir is the strongest.

If asked in what sense she’s the strongest, one could say she’s the strongest ability user.

The Chairman is omnipotent.

But as with most clichés, omnipotent beings are usually the “final boss” rather than the protagonist.

“ARGH!! How could I, an omnipotent being!! Be defeated by someone like you!!”

That’s the standard pattern.

And the one who defeats the omnipotent god is the “protagonist.”

That’s the foundation of this world, the basic principle, the fundamental truth that neither human will nor divine providence can overcome.

This world was created for Ymir, and everything is designed to move in ways that elevate her.

If you think about the original story.

Even the Chairman, who wanted the future the Syndicate desired more than anyone, who saw countless futures and made all the plans, fell for the original male protagonist.

That’s why I hate that author.

I hate that he made the Chairman fall for a man, and I hate that he made the Chairman break her own beliefs to create a world for one being.

“From that moment, I saw the meteor drift coming.”

The point when Ymir won the World Cup, made all four executives of the Syndicate her own, and then even made the Chairman hers.

Right after that, the author dropped an NTR bomb with the Goblin, making her fall into darkness.

At the point when the Chairman, the four executives, and all the heroines were getting along with the protagonist, he created the demon of rushed endings and destroyed the world.

Of course, now that future won’t happen because the premise itself has been twisted from the beginning.

That man has become “something that never existed,” and Ymir has remained a woman.

But that doesn’t mean Ymir’s power has disappeared.

Ymir’s ability, magical power, and potential are all things she had “before the original story.”

Born as the strongest in the universe from the moment of birth, even the omnipotent goddess of Earth couldn’t defeat the strongest in the universe.

“You’re… joking, right?”

Perhaps because what they heard sounded ridiculous, Hundun and Taotie couldn’t accept the truth the Chairman had revealed.

“She’s stronger than you, Chairman?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“No, you’re lying, right?”

“It’s true.”

“Come on, that can’t be.”

Taotie waved her hands dismissively with a hollow laugh.

“If you’re saying Ymir is important enough to make such claims, you don’t need to be so serious about it.”

“It’s true.”

“…No, if you say it like that, we’ll think it’s actually true.”

“Do I look like I’m joking right now?”

“Yes.”

Taotie pointed at Ymir.

“She doesn’t seem to think so herself.”

“Uh, umm….”

“You’re saying this flighty girl, whose head is filled with nothing but how to eat the Goblin more deliciously, is stronger than you, Chairman?”

“Surprisingly, that’s the truth, Taotie.”

“Ha….”

Taotie lamented with a face full of despair.

“Really?”

Though still denying reality in disbelief, she had to accept it as truth since the Chairman insisted so firmly.

“Do, is it true?”

In the end, I was the only one she could ask.

“Is she really stronger than the Chairman?”

“She may not know it herself, but yes.”

“How? No, why?”

“If you ask why, well….”

I pointed at Ymir.

“If this were a world in a novel, it’s because Ymir is the protagonist of that novel?”

“What nonsense.”

“It’s true.”

They don’t believe me even when I tell the truth.

Well, it’s understandable since it’s such an unbelievable story.

“Chairman. What should we do? The executives are refusing to accept the truth right in front of them.”

“I know. Unless I fight Ymir and show them the Earth exploding, it’s hard to prove.”

“Exactly.”

Who is stronger?

It’s impossible to prove that.

“Taotie, Hundun. I’m being serious here. I swear on my Goblin club.”

The two swallowed hard and listened carefully to my words.

“If the Chairman and Ymir fight with full power, there’s something that will happen with 100% certainty.”

“…What is it?”

“The Earth will explode. No joke. For real.”

Their expressions grew increasingly serious.

“Before they can determine a winner, the battlefield would explode first because it couldn’t withstand their power. Then the battle would continue in space. And those who can’t breathe in space would all die together.”

“So you’re saying they shouldn’t fight and should be patriotic instead.”

“Chairman. When you say it like that, it undermines the gravity of what I’m trying to convey.”

“Shouldn’t we also tell them the other truth that follows from this one?”

The Chairman pointed at Ymir and me with a sly smile.

“Even someone as powerful as Ymir, being born a woman, would naturally lose to the Goblin who always wins against women.”

“…….”

“And I have the Goblin club.”

In other words.

“I may not be able to defeat Ymir with abilities, but as long as Ymir is a woman, she has no choice but to lose to the Goblin.”

Since the Chairman possesses me, she can restrain Ymir.

Essentially, I’m like a control rod for Ymir.

“Since we’re in this mutually constraining relationship, wouldn’t it be best to establish a cooperative relationship?”

“…Good grief.”

Hundun was looking up at the ceiling, and Taotie repeatedly took off and put on her glasses, squeezing her eyes shut.

“Is she really that powerful…?”

It’s hard to believe from outward appearances.

She has shown she can hold her own against S-class demons and demonstrated tremendous magical power, but still.

“A hesitant girl who dislikes killing people is the strongest in the universe…?”

“Uh, um, is, is that so…?”

“Look at this, Chairman. She’s still flustered like that. This doesn’t make sense.”

“Though Taotie was rationally believing it while desperately trying to deny it.”

“Hey!”

Taotie shouted loudly, pointing at me.

“How am I supposed to rationally believe this?! A girl who can’t move when you’re inside her is the strongest?! This doesn’t make any sense!”

“Let me explain it in terms of your favorite game.”

“What! She’s a Lv 999 character, but because her gender stat is female, she can’t win against the Goblin who always wins against women?!”

“It’s impossible on her own.”

I made a shape with my hand toward Taotie.

“It’s possible because of this.”

“…Wow, I never knew a heart shape could be so creepy.”

“It might give you chills, but isn’t it time to accept it?”

I approached Ymir and embraced her from behind.

“That all of this is for world peace.”

“He, hehe….”

“Wow. Look at her giggling as soon as she gets a back hug. This girl….”

“…It’s difficult to accept, but since the Goblin swore on his club, I understand it can’t be a lie. I understand.”

With a curt voice and twisted lips, Hundun glared coldly at the Chairman and me.

“However, I judge Ymir based on her achievements and accomplishments. No matter how talented she is, even if she’s worthy of being brought by the Goblin, if she ultimately hinders our goal… no, my goal.”

Seong Ji-eun narrowed her eyes like a snake as she glared at Ymir, then bowed 90 degrees to the Chairman.

“I will do everything in my power to exclude Ymir.”

“…Well, I feel the same way.”

Cheon Ju-yeon put her glasses back on and stared at Ymir with sunken eyes.

“If later she says something like ‘Isn’t killing a bit too much?’ and stuffs a sweet potato down my throat to prevent me from killing the Haeguneul chairman, I’d rather choke to death on that sweet potato than let it slide. I’m warning you in advance, okay?”

“Hmm….”

“Well, if she flies to Korea right now and kills the Haeguneul chairman, I’ll acknowledge her.”

“That would complicate things in a different way, so it’s not appropriate right now.”

The Chairman stopped Taotie from suggesting such an extreme method.

Though she added the condition “right now.”

“You two. Does being part of the Syndicate mean killing people is the only answer?”

“…What kind of build-up statement is this now?”

“Well, I guess you’re going to argue against killing. Make them suffer something worse than death while alive….”

“No. I’m talking about Ymir. About Ymir ‘creating’ people.”

“…?”

Their expressions grew complicated.

“Creating? What do you mean?”

“To put it simply, Ymir can help us by ‘giving birth to people.'”

“…You mean giving birth to the Goblin’s child?”

“Well, that too, but.”

The Chairman twisted the corner of her mouth as she looked at Ymir and me.

“Ymir. You wanted to have a threesome with the Goblin by yourself, right?”

“What?!”

“You were envious of doing it with the Goblin alone, without Baek Seol-hee, weren’t you?”

“Uh, umm….”

Ymir scratched her cheek, then bowed her head with a reddened face.

“I… was.”

“How many clones can you make right now?”

“One…?”

“Make one now.”

“…Hmm.”

Ymir stretched out her hand and created a clone identical to herself.

In the blink of an eye.

Literally in less than a second.

“Her own version of cloning learned from Baek Seol-hee’s ability. A body created from mana and ether.”

“…Huh?”

“…Wait, could this be.”

Seong Ji-eun and Cheon Ju-yeon’s eyes began to shine.

“That’s right.”

The Chairman extended her hand toward Ymir’s clone, as if pointing to a mannequin displayed in a clothing store.

“What would happen if you possessed this?”

“…No way.”

“I’d rather believe what the Goblin said earlier about this world being a novel and Ymir being the protagonist. No matter how strong Ymir is….”

Both shook their heads in denial.

“…What happens if we possess the clone Ymir created?”

“Well, obviously.”

The Chairman made a circle with her fingers and repeatedly thrust her index finger through it.

“You would become ‘alive.'”

“…….”

“You can unite with the Goblin, so why not unite with Ymir’s body? Even if it’s a clone.”

“…How.”

Seong Ji-eun looked at Ymir with eyes that seemed to have seen some indescribable horror.

“How can she have such an ability…?”

“Well, that.”

Ymir, red to her earlobes, opened her mouth with a grin.

“…When Hye-ra and Se-rin were with teacher, I was researching ways for them to enjoy teacher more deliciously….”

In other words.

“It’s hard to win alone, but as they say, many hands make light work…?”

Patriotism.

It makes everything possible.
