This ability is all-purpose and invincible in battle.

“It’s not impossible. Just remove the sea and raise the land.”

“No.”

“If raising it is a bit difficult, it would also be possible to cut down a mountain over there and fill it with soil. If we lower the ground in America by 1 meter, wouldn’t it be possible to make a long autobahn from the Korean Peninsula to America?”

“Well, isn’t it too much to say it lightly, as if you were going to make some kind of toy?”

“Not excessive at all.”

Rather, it is closer to a reduction.

“Mr. President. You may have seen many movies that came out before the cataclysm. The movie contains the imagination that humanity has dreamed of.”

It contains the uncensored, pure imagination of humanity.

“From there, humanity advances to Mars, engages in terraforming, and even goes into outer space. Even if we don’t have that kind of technology, don’t we have this ability?”

“I see. I thought too much about the Earth. Let’s go beyond the moon and advance to Mars?”

“As the emperor of the Great Ring Empire, would you like to leave your name as the first human to set foot in the settlement of Mars?”

Someone said that.

One clause, two clauses, three clauses, four clauses, a single clause.

However, it is said that when this artifice goes beyond a certain point, it goes beyond the articulation and sublimates into art.

“In this world, there is something called the will of happiness.”

“I heard about it from King Taejo.”

“Is that so? That would be easier to talk about. It is lightly called ‘hwanppong’. If possible, commit it with certainty.”

Even Hwan’s will causes people to say, ‘This is a bit too much.’

One way would be to spread the greatness of this country to the whole world, to the point of drowning in a river.

“It’s not a bad story. International political issues can be resolved through dialogue, and if economic benefits are provided at the same time, no major problems will arise. First of all, I will be standing in the back holding the bat.”

“Isn’t this a threat?”

“It is only a minimum self-defense device to ensure reasonable and fair dealings. In the first place, you should be grateful that the Great Hwan Empire treats you with courtesy.”

“I’m dizzy.”

Is it because I consumed too much soup at once?

“I thought you were going to talk about how you would live in this country, but the topic was actually about the future.”

“You can talk about that in private. As I said before, I plan to stay in Korea. I also have a house in Seoul.”

“You mean that.”

As soon as he deliberately changed the topic, the president immediately took the bait.

“I’m sorry, but people are already talking about your place of residence.”

“Where does the goblin live? It looks like everyone is looking forward to it.”

“House prices in Seoul doubled in three days because you said you would land at Incheon Airport instead of Gimhae Airport.”

“Hmm, as expected. Anyway.”

Get off at Incheon Airport.

Goblin has a house in Seoul.

Is the goblin planning to stay in Seoul, or is he still living in that house?

“Your apartment is about the same price as the apartment in Busan now. Just by saying this, you probably know what I’m trying to say, right?”

“Of course.”

Suddenly, I became part of the metropolitan area.

For me, it is good that the price of the house has increased almost five times since I just owned it, but it is not desirable for the house price to fluctuate due to a hero’s actions.

“Then, let’s put off the story of the Great Hwan Empire for later and talk about the goblin’s whereabouts right away.”

“…There is no need to be as nervous as the Great Huan Empire, right?”

“Of course. It’s no big deal. It doesn’t fit the Korean sentiment, but it could bring about further paradigm change.”

I took out another file and immediately sent the data to the President’s Taegeuk Watch.

“This is a draft of the speech. This is what I have to say at the press conference.”

“……It’s not a speech, it’s a notification.”

“Please cooperate.”

The President looked at the contents of the file with a serious expression.

“Well, if it’s like this…”

Fortunately, the contents of the speech were more common sense than the story of the Great Hwan Empire, except for the fact that it was a bit crude.

“Are you really planning to do this?”

“Yes. I’ve been thinking about this for a very long time. No, you could say that this is the reason I most seriously considered when settling down in Korea.”

The core of the Great Hwan Empire project that I proposed to the commander-in-chief even before entering Korea.

It is closely related to where I will stay.

“How would you like to go together?”

“…I can handle this on my own terms. I understand. Let’s call the relevant ministries and get it started right away.”

Fortunately, the president accepted my proposal.

“I’ll think about the rest later. Oh. I’m talking about a press conference. Are you really planning on doing this?”

the president asked, tapping on the speech.

“Shall we stand next to you?”

“No. Just renting a podium is enough. Because everyone in the country will know what the President means by lending his seat to a goblin rather than someone else. Then…”

I stood up and cleared my throat.

[I will come as a goblin, not as Do Ji-hwan.]

“Well…it’s quite awkward to hear the honorific in a ringing voice.”

[No problem.]

Even if it’s me.

[You can’t be wrong with the person who will become His Majesty, right?]

Even goblins show courtesy in front of the emperor on earth, which is the law of the goblins of the Eastern country of courtesy.

[I’ll be back.]

* * *

At that time, near the Blue House. Hero gathering room.

“The reason the conversation is taking this long… Gwangikgong, shouldn’t you go in?”

“No.”

Gwangikkong shook his head resolutely in response to Tusin’s question, which showed his anxiety.

“I’m not that type of person.”

“Does Gwangikkong believe in goblins?”

“I believe it. Now that I have fought it myself, I have come to believe it more.”

Gwangikkong nodded resolutely at the heroes’ gazes towards him.

“He is a person who wants this country to do well more than anyone else. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have come to this country in the first place.”

“If Gwangikkong says that…”

“First of all, hasn’t he shown something through his actions over the past 10 months? If he was officially registered with the Hero Association, he would have achieved far more achievements than the S-class heroes gathered here.”

No one in the waiting room could say anything.

Even if his wings were broken once, a Gwangyukgong was still a Gwangyukgong.

“I went there.”

The door to the waiting room opened, and S-class hero Taejo, who had been away for a while, came in.

“I just got there. Sister-in-law?”

“I took you straight to the suite. As soon as I entered, I was surprised to see Seolhee at the entrance, but…”

The waiting room froze for a moment at Taejo’s words, but Taejo touched the back of his neck and spoke calmly.

“The atmosphere seemed better than I expected.”

“If you think about it, Seolhee is the one who should be scared.”

“Hey, Cheok Jun-kyung.”

“What. Did I say something wrong? No matter what the reality is, the whole world knows that he committed an affair even though he had a loyal wife. Regardless of whether there was an amicable agreement between the parties.”

“That is correct.”

In response to Cheok Jun-gyeong’s words, Gwangikgong stepped forward to help.

“Marriage must change in accordance with the times.”

“Gwangikgong. Have you heard anything?”

“Hmm…. Ah, I guess I’ll hear it soon anyway.”

Gwangikong pointed to the goblin walking to the podium at the conference hall in the live TV broadcast.

“It might be good news for Armored King Taejo.”

“…Brother Jinho.”

“What. The man must take responsibility. No matter how much of a reason there was, there is a past that can be buried and a past that must be held accountable.”

Gwangikkong closed his eyes tightly for a moment and clenched his fists.

“Listen quietly. Because from today, this time, everything will change.”

[iced coffee.]

Knocking on the microphone, the goblin opened his mouth.

[I am, goblin. Man.]

“…….”

* * *

[okay. grow. goblin.]

Speaking with Do Ji-hwan’s face, although he has taken off his mask, being a goblin does not change.

[After the World Cup ended, I thought about my daughter who was born in this country. The secret to my winning.]

The eyes of the cameramen and reporters were looking at me, wondering what I was going to say, but at the same time, I could see their ears perk up.

[That’s because Korea’s talented people are weak.]

And immediately, I saw his expression harden.

[The people of this country may be just, but they have many shortcomings in battle. Just look at the results of the World Cup.]

Now everyone knows.

The bracket was structured so that Goblin and Gwangikgong would meet in the finals, so if they had met in the round of 16, Gwangikgong would have been eliminated in the round of 16.

Did you win because you gathered the souls of the other executives together, or because of Ymir?

My daughter would have come out into the world to support her father even if the match against Gwangikkong had been in the round of 16.

[So I came.]

The reason I came to Korea.

[While working as a librarian at the academy, I was astonished by the education taking place at the academies in this country.]

To change.

[Even though Yoon I-sun had the potential to become S-class, the academy failed to develop her. It helped me become S-rank.]

I have a track record.

[The same goes for Ymir. Although she also had the potential to become stronger, she was classified as E-class and discriminated against because of her blonde hair and blue eyes.]

For me, it has paid off.

[Many people in Korea said that. How can a villain walk around with such confidence?]

So, I am already a villain.

[Then go for it. Of course, you have to defeat Gwangyukgong first.]

I decided to continue being a villain.

[If there is no one who can defeat me, I have no choice but to raise him myself. So, before that. If I commit any sin as a villain, I will punish myself.]

In this country, this land.

[I, the goblin, will be hanged.]

I will take over the academy.
