If we were to say that humans have the biggest difference from animals, the obvious examples would be ‘intelligence’ and ‘will’.

Humans have intelligence.

Through knowing, you can realize what you need to achieve your desires.

Humans have will.

When doing something, do it with a strong will and try to achieve it without fail.

However, having intelligence or will does not mean that one can awaken this ability.

If this ability could be awakened just by thinking about it, people older than 25 would have already awakened this ability.

Someone must have awakened this ability to prevent children from getting hurt.

But that’s nonsense.

So people didn’t trust anyone.

It was impossible for Zenros, those who became demons and then humans, to regain their abilities.

Why do you think it doesn’t work?

To answer the question, not a single person who has already been ZenLos has succeeded.

The same goes for those currently trapped on Sejong Island, and Hermina Sternfert, a German who is believed to be the first Zenroth discovered in Korea, has not regained this ability.

Is it really that their will is so weak that they cannot regain this ability?

Maybe it’s because it’s impossible.

There would be no way to regain these abilities after becoming a devil.

If this ability could be regained through will alone, anyone would do anything to develop a strong will.

and.

if.

If only I could regain this ability through willpower alone.

Wouldn’t it be possible for non-talented people who haven’t awakened this ability to acquire this ability?

With that in mind, everyone waited for May 3rd.

Mt. Hanlla.

Baeknokdam.

With a fairly large lake spread out in the middle, many people formed a circular formation and waited for the time to come.

“Yes, this is reporter Joo, who is at the scene. I am currently at Baekrokdam on Hallasan Mountain, where the Knights of Sephiroth have promised to appear. Currently, the wind is cool, and no flying objects coming toward Hallasan Mountain are observed nearby.”

A reporter in a suit was holding a microphone in front of the camera and talking enthusiastically.

“Currently, as many as four S-class heroes are waiting here. Tusin, Emperor Noe, Armored Taejo, and even Baridegi. Not only are there S-class talented people who can appear on the scene, but including A-class and lower heroes, as many as 20 heroes are guarding the scene.”

She stood in a safe area where filming was possible and pointed to where the heroes were each positioned.

“I missed it last time, but this time, attention is being paid to whether I can catch a member of the Sephiroth Knights – a person who called himself ‘Dark Charisma’. The time has already reached 11:58, about 2 minutes left from the appointed noon. Pointing.”

Now, soon.

The time when the dark charisma promised to send someone to Baekrokdam will come.

“Yes. If the kidnapped people do not return, the Korean government and the Hero Association plan to designate Dark Charisma as an S-class villain and the Sephiroth Knights as a villain organization and conduct a more active search operation. Through international cooperation…Ahh!”

The reporter quickly turned his head.

“The moment I spoke, something started sparkling in the middle of Baekrokdam Lake!”

Goooh.

In the very center of Baekrokdam Lake, something circular and shining in three colors shimmered.

Three colors that seemed to be a mixture of red, green, and gold began to spin around in a circle exactly divided into thirds, and soon something appeared from within.

“That…is a person! That person…?! These are the people of the Kidnapped Hero Association!!”

One by one, people jumped out of the circle that opened in the air.

They were dressed in black suits, not uniforms, and everyone was neatly dressed as if they had been to a wedding.

“They are each wearing black suits…Yes! According to the investigation, the man who came out first was Hong Chang-sik, the missing agent of the Hero Association… Everyone came out! Every person showed up!”

with a splash.

The agents set foot on the lake at Baekrokdam.

From Class E to Class B, every single one of them floated on the water with magical energy flowing gently beneath their feet, a sight that would make everyone watching in amazement.

“Ahh…! Is that the award fee?! Walking on water must be a very special ability, but how can everyone climb on water like that?!”

The reporter who was supposed to report the situation on the scene unknowingly asked questions to the people behind the camera.

But that question was something that everyone watching the screen could sympathize with.

The prize money is impossible for people with ordinary abilities, and even if it were possible, it would definitely be strange for everyone to use it like a ‘basic skill’.

“No way, the Knights of Sephiroth taught me… Ah! The moment I say this, someone comes out again!”

Weeeeing.

Beyond the circular portal, a woman gently stretched her feet forward.

The woman with white hair looked like Zenroth, but her head had a black bridge sticking out to the side.

“Zenroth, you have lost all abilities! I don’t understand why she’s wearing a dress…ah?!”

Sarah.

The woman did not sink into the water, but rose gently on the water with her shoe soles.

Unless the shoes were specially made, the woman floating on the water must have used her own special abilities and magical powers.

“Uh, how could such a miracle happen…!”

Everyone else has lost this ability, so how do they use it?

I became a devil and then a human again, but how can I use mana when other people can’t even if they want to?

“Afterwards, other people with lost abilities began to appear one by one…! The unique thing is that they all have black or red bridges on their heads…! It looks like all the kidnapped Zenros have returned! And they all seem to have regained their abilities!”

It’s not just one person, not several people, but everyone who disappeared has regained this ability.

“Oh my god. What kind of magic did the dark charisma perform?-”

[Hahahahaha!!]

A familiar sound of laughter erupted.

The S-Class tried to come forward right away, but the laughter was coming from a completely different place.

[Thank you for your hard work, heroes.]

“Hologram…?!”

[Yes.]

Weeing.

As the kidnapped agents of the Hero Association reached into the sky holding something that looked like a bead, a giant of light with a body measuring tens of meters appeared above Baeknokdam.

[Are you saying that you are a Korean of will? Everyone followed along better than I expected. joy. Well, this body didn’t even take care of those with weak will in the first place.]

“Da, what are you…!”

[Look, everyone! I lost this ability, I became a devil and lost everything, but I saw myself rise again!]

fluttering.

[Without a single one left behind, everyone was rehabilitated! Hahahaha!!]

The dark charisma spread its arms left and right.

[Crush weak thoughts! Prisoned by the impending ordeal! So, achieve success and go! By reviving the dead superpower, I have called the superpower back to this land!!]

Everyone realized that the thing that sparkled like a hologram was a shape made of magical power, but they were unable to say anything as the Association’s agents were holding the sphere that created the hologram.

[This ability is alive!!]

Pa–ang!

Something like a firecracker exploded.

As soon as the rainbow light sparkled, just as the dark charisma disappeared, the heroes immediately moved their bodies and ran towards the lake.

“Damn it, swim! People who can run on water, come running now!”

[no use. My body is not there. As promised, I corrected my weak and rotten spirit. Talented people! Hello! Hahahahaha!!!]

The hologram disappears like fog.

The heroes were outraged to see him disappear without a second thought, as if he had said everything he wanted to say.

Flash!

The circle disappeared.

The dark charisma literally threw the people it had taken into Baekrokdam and disappeared.

“What is this….”

“Hello, everyone. I am Park Eun-jung, a B-class agent of the Hero Association.”

Park Eun-jung, the most senior among those kidnapped, stepped forward.

Her voice, which resonated through Baekrokdam, contained a deep appeal and at the same time, it also contained magical power.

“With the help of the Knights of Sephiroth, we were able to take our awakening one step further. I was able to kill my rotten and weak spirit and be reborn as a new human being.”

At Park Eun-jung’s words, those behind Park Eun-jung also nodded with calm faces.

“Well, what on earth happened?”

“…….”

Park Eun-jung’s expression hardened in an instant.

Her eyes were shaking as if she didn’t want to remember, and she swallowed her saliva and answered.

“I received mental education.”

“Yes?”

“I have come to realize what is justice, what is good, and what is truth.”

“Huh….”

Everyone just laughs.

“Report. Agents of the Hero Association, including Park Eun-jung, report that their psychic abilities have intensified, and that those who have lost their psychic abilities have been able to use magical powers, although they are at the E level and are different from their existing psychic abilities.”

“……!!”

“We are back. Becoming stronger and stronger.”

“How on earth…?”

“How. It doesn’t matter. What’s more important is.”

Park Eun-jung only uttered one word.

“The only thing we can say is that we have clearly realized what actions we must take for justice. To subdue all demons and educate them to become heroes. That is the fate and mission given to us.”

“Well, you seem to be very serious…”

“Because I learned justice. An ally of justice, from the charisma of darkness.”

Pa-ah!

“Justice!!”

“””Justice!!”””

Agents, including Park Eun-jung, took strange postures.

Everyone followed the same action of putting the index and middle fingers together as if holding a card in one’s hand and passing it over the opposite shoulder.

“””Heung.”””

that.

Wasn’t it a scene of mass brainwashing?

anyway.

All of those kidnapped have returned.

‘every’.

* * *

“Justice.”

“For a teacher’s speech or recorded video, it looks very realistic. Is it because he just says random things to himself?”

“A speech is not a conversation with other people; it is something I talk about on my own.”

With Ymir, I watched the video of those rescued from Baekrokdam on TV.

“Genross will be jealous. It’s Zenroth, but this ability has been revived.”

“…It’s fascinating. How can you give this ability to someone else?”

“That is the power of determination.”

Zenroth’s ability has not been revived.

“People in the world will think that they have awakened a new ability, but they will not think that someone gave it to them.”

He was only given a small amount of magical power along with new abilities.

“The executives of this group are capable of awakening ordinary people into possessing extraordinary abilities. If you steal this ability from the devil, our organization can ‘grant’ this ability to others. Of course, there are limits. Because that doesn’t belong to executives.”

This is a power that no one else can possess.

A divine power that only one person can possess in Imaemangyang.

A portion of the power was given to the executives, but all power came from one person.

“Now, it can be said to be a blessing from God.”

The era of special abilities.

If there were a being who could give humanity this ability instead of bread and wine, that being would definitely be God.

“The leader is God.”

The god called himself ‘the leader.’
