Chapter Index

    Shoot ㅡㅡㅡ

    Muddy water covers the city.

    The ocher-colored water current, mixed with all kinds of things, is quickly filling up with the power to submerge everything in Yeoui Seoul.

    “Ugh!!”

    “Save me, apoof…!”

    Those who climb up to the top of the streetlight are holding on to the lamp, while those who cannot climb are swept away by the torrent and are carried away somewhere.

    “Jo, be careful!! There is a water ghost!”

    “When it’s time to say something like that, stop me, wow!!”

    The man, who had been submerged in water up to his shoulders and struggling, just disappeared into the water.

    The young man on top of the lamppost looked into the muddy water with magic in his eyes, and soon he could see what was happening in the fast-flowing torrent.

    “Oh my god, what is this…?”

    In a rapidly moving torrent of water.

    It was hard to see because of the muddy water, but inside there were numerous spheres flowing along the water.

    “Oh, you know the tadpole…?”

    Although it was very large, its shape was exactly like a tadpole egg.

    And what was inside that egg was not a tadpole, but the people of this Joseon Union.

    Boom boom boom!

    Some people were waving their fists at the wall-like eggshell and causing a riot, while others were trembling and curled up like shrimp.

    However, most had no choice but to do the latter.

    There was no fixed safety device in the bubble that was caught in the torrent and rolled around like a ball.

    “Crazy….”

    Even the speed was not constant.

    When they collided here and there, they bounced, and in places where the road was narrow and a bottleneck occurred, the spheres began to collide with each other and bounce around.

    “This is a disaster…a disaster!”

    It could only be seen as a disaster that would lead to destruction.

    It was full of absurd things, and the man had no idea how to respond.

    “Ugh! What are you doing…huh!!”

    The man silenced his mouth with one hand.

    It was a word he shouted as if he was lamenting without realizing it, but it was clearly one of the taboos that should not be dared to be spoken in Joseon.

    “Ah, ah…!”

    The man’s necklace began to sparkle.

    The smartwatch on my wrist also started flashing, and soon numbers appeared.

    3.

    “Ugh, ugh! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!!”

    The man was so scared that he lost all strength and fell from the lamppost.

    with a splash!

    Muddy water enveloped his entire body, but he could clearly see the light of his smartwatch screen even in the muddy water.

    2.

    “Ugh, wow!!”

    It’s not actually 3 seconds.

    We cannot allow him to be killed after only 3 seconds of fear for daring to insult the king of a nation and the leader of Joseon.

    “Lord, I don’t want to die, …huh?”

    The man felt puzzled.

    “Do you mean…?”

    He apparently fell into the water, but somehow he was able to speak.

    Is he actually already dead?

    Could it be that I am dreaming?

    Could it be that he awakened the ability to speak underwater just before he died?

    The moment I thought,

    Pang pang pang!

    He saw an air bubble rolling next to him.

    Inside the bubble was his female junior, and she was tapping the bubble with her hands and pointing to her wrists and ankles.

    “Eh, x…? No, you have to use Buddhist characters, ah, no. No?”

    Although the sound was not clear, she was clearly conveying it to herself.

    “Explosion, won’t it…?”

    One.

    0.

    The moment the countdown ended.

    Puzzle!

    I felt a tingling sensation in my wrists and ankles, but it was only a slight stinging sensation.

    “Oh, he’s not dead…wait.”

    The man rubbed his neck with his hand and looked up.

    Pajik, Pajik, Pajik.

    A ‘line’ began to appear on the muddy water.

    The line, moving as fast as lightning, kept trying to enter the muddy water, but failed to enter each time and kept bouncing off.

    “That….”

    Is it because he came back alive from the brink of death?

    The young man’s head began to move faster than usual.

    “Obviously, death…was a signal sent from ‘above’…”

    There is a signal.

    It’s not arriving.

    As if completely disturbed by something, the invisible arrow of death aimed at oneself continues to wander in the air, unable to penetrate the muddy water.

    “Ha, haha….”

    Although I still can’t take off my necklace and smartwatch.

    “I lived….”

    The young man had a hunch.

    The ones blocking that signal of death are those who caused this disaster.

    “No…!”

    It’s not a disaster.

    this is.

    “Savior…!”

    It allows you to take off the leash that has been attached to your neck from the moment you are born and the smartwatch, which would be a crime if you took it off.

    Those who are the only ones in this country to spread a word that does not exist.

    “Freedom…!”

    In the distance, the rooftop of a skyscraper stretches straight toward the ceiling.

    The young man shouted, reaching out to the red flames that were clearly visible even under the muddy water, stretching out both hands to the left and right, holding on to the bubble layer.

    “Go aaa!!”

    I hope that my will will reach me.

    * * *

    [Can’t you hear it? The sound of failure.]

    “…….”

    Click.

    I hear the sound of a button being pressed.

    But the button was pressed and nothing happened.

    [why. Are you embarrassed? As soon as I pressed it, explosions should have occurred in various places, but explosions did not occur.]

    “This, this…!!”

    Click, click, click.

    Kim Jo-sun roughly pressed the red button in the center of the square iron switch in his hand.

    [It’s dazzling.]

    Every time you press the button, magical power is emitted from the button and disperses like an explosion.

    The magical light that started from the switch wandered around in the air like a marlin swimming in the sea, then flew out of Yongseong Palace and-

    Puzzle!

    I tried to burrow under the water that had now reached my head, but I couldn’t even enter the rising water and was thrown straight into the air.

    [Was it not an electronic signal but a magic signal? I was planning on dealing with it either way, but I’m thankful that it made it easier to deal with.]

    “K, keuh…! What have you done!”

    [The reason I sank it in the water was because I didn’t mean to drown it.]

    Floating just above the rising water, I pushed forward on the magical tube-like platform and leisurely headed forward.

    “Joo Sang! Come on!”

    “Ha, I’m doing it!!”

    Pang, pang.

    Stones fly out of the red dragon cannon.

    The stone, as big as a fist, had an angular shape, and its speed was strong enough to break one’s neck if one were to hit it.

    [no use.]

    I swung the goblin bat and intercepted the flying tombstone from inside the dragon cannon.

    It was a fairly fast speed, but it was a speed that I could handle even without time acceleration.

    “Uh, how…! I definitely couldn’t block it at first!!”

    [At first, yes.]

    There was some difficulty in intercepting the first blow, but from that first blow, I was able to analyze and understand the Underworld King’s magical power pattern.

    [Just like poison, it may seem like it will kill you at first, but once you build up tolerance, it is just a stinging taste.]

    “Mi, that’s crazy!”

    [I’m trying to explain this ability through an analogy, but I’m not ready to learn it. Only on the subject of ‘Earth Manipulation S-Class’.]

    The S class is definitely a strong entity.

    But he clearly has limitations.

    [Even if you talk underground about being the king of Joseon and all that, to the outside world, you’re just an ‘architect’s fake.’]

    “Yes this no oh oh ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!”

    The King of the Underworld yells at me with his eyes full of death.

    “How dare someone call someone’s fake!!”

    [Someone remodeled all of Busan’s roads before he was 10 years old. Oh, I admit it. The person who dug the ant tunnel and created Yeouido underground is definitely an S class. But, that’s it.]

    The Underworld King is not a combat-specialized S-class.

    [To the Korean people who have been oppressed through ideological education and violence, you may be like heaven, but to foreigners who have truly come down from the earth, you are nothing more than a cult leader.]

    “K, keuh…!”

    [Even if the cult leader has a switch that can explode the heads of his people and believers at any time, what good is it if the signal does not reach the device?]

    I pointed to the muddy water inside the palace that had already begun to rise up to the royal palace.

    [Thank you, though. I got an idea from the way you oppress your people, that even dog poop can’t be used for medicine. You don’t kill them, but you make them suffer to the point of death.]

    Anyone can think of it, but no one puts it into practice.

    [It is time for it to end. now-]

    “It’s not the end yet!!”

    Kim Jo-seon grabbed the Underworld King’s shoulder and shouted.

    “Our Joseon will not be defeated! Just a little bit more, and we can win! If you give birth to a child through Heavenly Demon, and the prince is born as an SS level!! If my son’s excellent genes and the fighting power of the Heavenly Demon come together!!”

    […….]

    The desire to say that bringing the Heavenly Demon here with that greed was the cause of destruction rose up to my chin.

    “I don’t know what tricks you guys used to get here, but in the end, we’re the ones who win!! I am Kim Jo-sun, and I am Kim Hankuk, the king of the earth!!”

    [Even the name is Korean. I didn’t really have any intention of remembering the name. Is that Han, Han from the Han Dynasty?]

    “What…!”

    [Because it’s not the same as Korea’s.]

    “K, ugh…!!”

    The Underworld King’s whole body turned red to the point where he thought blood was coming out of his eyes.

    [It is said that among the numerous kings of Korea, Joseon, and the peninsula, there were cancer soldiers, but at least there was no one who put bomb necklaces around the necks of his people and exploded them immediately when they cursed.]

    It is said that people swear at the country when it is not there, but in Joseon, there is no such thing.

    This is neither Joseon nor Han, but just Han Joseon disguised as Joseon.

    [You father and son will remain in Joseon history as ‘people worse than your ancestors.’]

    “This son of a bitchㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!”

    [ah.]

    The dragon’s robe was torn, and the Underworld King instantly turned into a red-hot being.

    [Anyway, what is the sensitivity of a person with special abilities?]

    He turned into a devil after hearing that he was a king worse than his ancestors.

    [Just do it well on a regular basis.]
