Chapter Index

    Busan, Gimhae International Airport.

    “Um, what is that?!”

    The sky turned black.

    It wasn’t even night, but it became night.

    “How did this happen…!”

    “Association! What does the association do?! What is that?!”

    Citizens fell into panic due to the extremely sudden situation.

    “Hey, what kind of ability is that?!”

    “So, I don’t even know how to revive you! How many people can use this ability in the first place?”

    Not only the general public at the airport, but also the heroes who were just going through formalities to prepare for departure.

    “Surely, a barrier?”

    When someone muttered something while looking at the sky, everyone turned their eyes to where he was looking.

    “That’s a barrier…?”

    It’s dark so I can’t see.

    Thanks to the fluorescent lights of the airport building and the lights of Taegeuk Watch, people were clearly visible even in the dark, but the sky outside the window was so dark that it was difficult to see well.

    “Hey, isn’t that part of the sky strange?”

    “…I think I can see a curved surface, like something falling from the sky…?”

    However, for those with keen eyesight, it felt like a sense of déjà vu.

    Something covering the sky.

    It’s not that the sky will turn black, but that the area between the sky and the Korean Peninsula will be covered with something black.

    “This is ridiculous… Even if you are a person with special abilities, this is possible…?”

    ” Floating ice castles in the sea and dropping meteorites from the sky, it’s like changing day and night…!”

    “No, that’s true, but that is…”

    While people were confused about the sudden change in the sky, they realized why they perceived that a barrier had been spread in the sky.

    “Uh, that plane…?”

    There is a plane that has just taken off from Gimhae Airport and is flying into the sky.

    The plane, with the Taegeuk symbol on its tail, began to fly in the sky with some quite strange movements.

    It was as if he had lost his route and was confused, but was somehow trying to survey the situation by flying in the sky.

    And because of the very small amount of light emitted from such an airplane, people were able to see, even for a moment, the end of the darkness toward which the light was heading.

    “Hey, something like a real barrier…?”

    “Wait a minute, then if that plane over there is about to pass-”

    The moment people realize something is wrong.

    Kikigiggeek ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!

    With a scraping sound, the plane changed direction sharply.

    Quack!

    One wing is broken.

    The plane makes a sharp turn, flips over, and begins to fall toward the sea.

    “Crazy?!”

    “Someone do something!”

    “No! On that plane, my daughter!!”

    The airport was in chaos, but no one could do anything about the plane.

    “S class!! hero!! Someone please!!”

    “You are a hero! Please!”

    “No, it’s impossible…! Reviving is level A, and it is a body strengthening type…!”

    Even if it is an airport, a person with a special ability who suddenly appears in this situation-

    Kyaooo!

    Something unidentified, not someone with extraordinary abilities, rose from the surface of the water.

    Stretching out toward the sky, it resembled a dragon’s head, and on the dragon’s head, something resembling a human shadow could be seen at a glance.

    “Um, is that…?!”

    “No way, Taejo?!”

    Thump!

    The scrap metal dragon opened its mouth towards the frantically spinning airplane and took the airplane in its mouth.

    For a moment, the scrap metal dragon’s head turned slightly due to inertia, but the dragon somehow held on to the plane and held it in place to prevent it from escaping.

    “Uh, uhh….”

    Very slowly, the Scrap Metal Dragon placed the plane squarely on the sea.

    And people saw.

    Above the scrap metal dragon’s head, a young man in a black suit, drenched in water.

    “Wow ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!”

    “Taejo! Taejo! Taejo!!”

    Applause for the hero who barely caught the plane that almost crashed.

    Why Taejo was here was not important, at least not right now.

    “Thank you, I really appreciate it!!”

    It remains to be seen what happened to the people on the plane, but at least what everyone expected hasn’t happened right now.

    “Ah, this is Taejo. Notify Gimhae Airport. All planes, stop departing.”

    King Taejo’s powerful voice filled the airport.

    Although it was neither a government order nor an official declaration from the association, no one questioned King Taejo’s words.

    The plane turned in the air and was struck as if the wing was scraping against a wall.

    That alone was enough for sharp-eyed people among the general public to notice.

    “Taejo!! Hey, something towards the sky!!”

    Kwa-euang!

    The scrap metal dragon spit out something diagonally into the air.

    The lump of scrap metal shot out like a breath flies through the sky filled with light.

    Too~ung!

    It hit the air like it was hitting a wall.

    The chunk of iron that the scrap metal dragon spit out fell straight into the water.

    “We…no way…”

    “Anyway.”

    Although I can’t be sure.

    “We seem to be trapped.”

    Shoot!

    After a while.

    Those who approached the place where the scrap metal dragon flew and looked at it by shining a light on it were able to see it clearly.

    “The waves…hit the wall?”

    That the sea water keeps hitting the wall.

    * * *

    Good profit!!

    A white car covered in muddy water stopped in a temporary parking lot.

    The driver, who randomly parked his car in a place where several cars were gathered, roughly opened the car door and got out of the car immediately.

    “Where is the leader!!”

    “Uh, sister. Calm down….”

    Although she was a woman whose height was lower than the ceiling of the car, her angry voice reached the sky.

    “Does it look real?! What are you doing-”

    The woman, Seonmudang, stepped forward, pushing away the tall woman who was blocking her path.

    “…Really, are you crazy…?”

    And then, with my mouth open at the scene that unfolded before my eyes, I was unable to say anything.

    “What is all this….”

    Countless people collapsed on the floor.

    Most of those lying bleeding on the floor next to a small light like a match were wearing the uniform of the Hero Association.

    What is clearly visible even in the dark is that their hair has turned gray, or rather, has lost its color.

    “I didn’t kill him.”

    In the dark.

    “I just killed them the way they did, as someone with superpowers. It has already been proven by statistics that people do not die from excessive bleeding just because their cradle is broken or destroyed.”

    Only voices were heard.

    “I just ‘suppressed’ it.”

    “Party leader!!”

    “Why are you doing that?”

    Weeing.

    In the darkness, a bright golden light sparkled.

    “Don’t you think now is the best time?”

    The only thing that shines in the dark is the golden eyes shining from the mask on the face, and the outline of the Hahoe mask visible through the light of the eyes.

    “At this time, when all the heroes are exhausted and S-class talented people from all over the world have gathered on the Korean Peninsula. Isn’t now the time for us to finally open a new era?”

    “Are you sincere…?”

    “I mean this sincerely. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even thought about opening this.”

    fluttering.

    “The veil of darkness. No one can leave this Korean peninsula…Korean territory.”

    “Party leader….”

    “And, no one can enter the Korean Peninsula.”

    “!!”

    “The Korean Peninsula has been isolated. From the world. I made it that way.”

    I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a mask, but there was some trembling in the voice coming from the darkness.

    “I thought. How can we create a new world? I thought and thought countless ways to separate the Korean Peninsula from the existing world.”

    “You deceived us…?! They say they will create a new country, but that doesn’t mean they will eradicate corruption in the country…!”

    “It’s a new country. A world where only the Korean Peninsula exists, not the Korean Peninsula on Earth.”

    Seonmudang had a hunch.

    That trembling is called ‘joy’.

    “The Korean Peninsula is now one world. Everything will be done on the Korean Peninsula, and the world will now have 50 million people on the Korean Peninsula… or is it 60 million? Anyway, this peninsula will soon become the world.”

    “Is that the Yuldoguk the party leader was talking about? What is this?”

    “Yes.”

    “…….”

    The golden eyes got closer to Seonmudang.

    The car’s high beam lights illuminated a black shadow beyond Seonmudang.

    “Da, the party leader…?”

    “The biggest cancer on the Korean Peninsula was the sunshade.”

    The body of the being wearing the Hahoe mask was not visible.

    “Why is there a shade? Because there is light, there is a shadow. The brighter the sun, the darker the darkness and the shadow.”

    “This is not the time to spout such strange sophistry…!”

    “It is not sophistry. This darkness is a space that gives comfort to everyone. Here…”

    A smile flowed from the eyes of the mask floating in the air, curved like a crescent moon.

    “No human being becomes a devil.”

    “What…?”

    “No one becomes a devil because there is no element of malice.”

    “What on earth are you saying…?”

    “You have a good head. So, in detail, I notice it all.”

    Somewhere, it feels as if the darkness itself has become a hand, pressing down on Seonmudang’s head.

    “The biggest discrimination among all the discrimination in this land is against those with special abilities.”

    “……!!”

    “We will eliminate that discrimination first.”

    “…Where!!”

    Seonmudang quickly flew backwards and released magical power forward.

    Pa-ang!

    The mask flew backwards with a flash of white light.

    Due to the sudden release of magical power, Seonmudang also rolled backwards and fell on the car bonnet, but quickly corrected her posture and stood up.

    “Sorry, Commander.”

    “You guys…!”

    Another group of people wearing Hahoe masks approached the car with guns pointed at them.

    “Are you crazy?! Like this, what on earth are you going to do?!”

    “Don’t try to understand.”

    “The party leader said. You just…just have to accept it.”

    “……! You guys…?”

    The moment when something flashed in Seonmudang’s eyes.

    Ta-euang!

    Something dark flew like light towards Seonmudang’s abdomen.

    “…….”

    “You had a hard time. Now, rest.”

    “Da, you…. Cough.”

    Seonmudang coughed up blood and scowled at the mask approaching him.

    “There are so many heroes in this country. Cough, do you think you’ll be safe…?”

    “Of course. I do it because I can handle it.”

    “Goblin…?”

    “…….”

    From underneath the mask, a snickering sound of laughter could be heard from somewhere.

    “Not even that goblin can break through this barrier. Because the goblin is in America right now.”

    * * *

    [It looks like the future of this country is dark.]

    “Teacher?”

    [Just saying I tried it. like.]

    “Like…?”

    [It’s like blackout.]
