Quad Duck!
The Awakener, who was held in Wei Hao’s hand, could not even scream, his neck was broken and his breath was cut off.
There were corpses all around him. They are pursuers who have come to monitor themselves under the orders of the party.
In the past, I would have obeyed them with a way to attack loneliness, but now the story is different. Convinced that the monster in his head no longer exists, Wei Hao killed all the dogs in the party.
“… … .”
Wei Hao looked at him as if possessed by the thick blood on his hands.
In the past, it was in my hands that I would not have even dared to do. He removed the loneliness and killed all those who tried to control him. Still no reaction back.
“You really did get rid of it, you really did.”
It is true that loneliness has disappeared. The sense of foreign body in my head, the presence that was sometimes revealed, completely disappeared.
Wei Hao realized that he had become completely free. Although it was such a dream, the actual reaction was blunt. I know there is a lot more work to be done.
“Junho Choi must have intended this as well.”
The corruption of the party cadres in his hands, the title of level 9, which he threw like a snatch, proved that.
The intention to use it openly was conveyed, but Wei Hao did not pay much attention to it.
It was the awe of Choi Jun-ho that took its place when the loneliness disappeared.
A superman among superhumans whose abilities cannot be known.
It would be foolish to fight against such a guy. The reason why Wi Hao dared to mention his mother’s nationality and that half of the blood flowing through him was Korean was to appeal to Choi Jun-ho.
We know we use each other. If each can benefit from it, that in itself is a great mutual aid.
He was freed, and Choi Jun-ho drew in China and hit the league’s stronghold.
This caused a stir between China and Russia, but the chaos could be an opportunity for yourself.
Once you have gained a body of freedom, you should think about the next thing.
What he wants is the elimination of those who have been pampering him like a limb. And it is to make the fake power real and have it.
To do that, you need to create a force, not run rampant alone.
What Yu Hao has chosen is to attract people who have been treated badly to him.
The first choice was the party secretary of Liaoning Province.
After a long struggle for central power, he will be a great partner for each to take advantage of.
“Lee Jeon Huo.”
Li Zhenhuo, the party secretary of Liaoning Province, who appeared in front of him suddenly as if he was infiltrating, looked at the documents, and maintained a calm look.
Courageous and quick to understand the situation. It is the best partner who can fill in the gaps that you lack.
“Looking at you like this, I think you have something to tell me in secret.”
“Let’s hold hands.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“The ban on me was lifted. You destroyed the party’s pursuit a little while ago.”
“… Is it true?”
Those words shocked Li Zhenhuo, who had never been surprised before.
He also knew the cruelty of solitude, which the party created specifically to control superhumans.
wingless bird.
Bound by the ban, Wei Hao was like a puppet who obeyed the Party’s instructions without his own will.
“Yes, I am free now.”
“… … .”
Li Zhenhuo didn’t know what that meant. Wei Hao is a teenager and proud of China, but because he does not mix with Chinese blood, he has been controlled by the party’s special prohibition system.
If that prohibition had disappeared, where would Yu Hao’s anger go?
This meant that the leash and muzzle of the mad dog had come loose.
“do not worry. It’s not going to kill everyone. I have no intention of doing that.”
Li Zhenhuo has a relieved expression on his face, but his anxiety still hasn’t gone away.
The next statement turned out to be true.
“Instead, I will kill anyone who does not follow me and who tries to control me.”
“That word… … .”
“We will establish a new leadership in the party. Li Zhenhuo, I see you as one of them. Do you want to wash away the sorrows of minorities with me?”
“… … .”
Li Zhenhuo looked at Wei Hao’s extended hand. If you don’t hold this hand, your neck will be crushed horribly.
Above all, the sorrows of the ethnic minorities that Wei Hao mentioned touched my heart.
Despite showing superior performance than others, he failed to enter the leadership every time. There were many reasons, but Li Zhenhuo knows that he was not able to enter the center because he came from an ethnic minority.
If We Hao hadn’t reached out, his career would have ended like this.
It is a moment of choice. And there was no choice here.
“I will follow.”
“good night. Let’s try our best.”
Wei Hao, who had a reliable partner, laughed.

Arriving in Gangneung on a yacht and crossing over to Seoul, there was a commotion.
I was curious to find out what was going on, and there was a lot of buzz about the possibility of war between the two countries as a missile launched from China hit Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.
Is that what I asked you to fire?
The fact that I hit the base of the league was interpreted as China declaring war on Russia.
Well, it feels like things are getting bigger than I thought.
Actually, only the Blue House knows the inside story, but the media doesn’t know it, so I guess they’re adding a lot of speculation.
[You didn’t think about it that much, did you?]
Yong-yong was valuing me highly for some reason. Should I thank you for this?
“I never really thought about it.”
[…] … .]
“why.”
[I thought there was nothing more surprising. I wouldn’t think so.]
“You only make a very absurd sound.”
[I was just being honest.]
yes, you are good, you are good
After arguing with Yong-yong, I slowly got to the point.
“By the way, are you still thinking?”
[What?]
“I mean, I want to see Argos and think about it. Shouldn’t it have come to a conclusion by now?”
[Ah, that.]
Yong-yong looked hesitant. I don’t know how much of a great content it is.
You must have seen a different side of Argos that I hadn’t seen before.
“If you don’t want to talk, don’t.”
[I think I will run into you more often in the future, so you should know.]
“You will need my strength too.”
[yes. That Argos man is what I see. I think it may have been the power of a divine beast.]
“Shinsu?”
[I don’t know what form it is, but I think I got the essence of a divine beast.]
Yong-yong, who mentioned something completely unexpected, explained what the essence of Shinsoo was.
Before the appearance of the monster, the divine beast existed in the form of a psychic body without a body. Even Yong-yong is said to have existed in its natural state without a body after forming an ego.
However, as monsters appeared and their holy land became polluted, the divine beasts began to take on bodies one by one.
Yong-yong was one of them.
[But not everyone made the same choice.]
Among the divine beasts, there were cases where they did not want to deal with the filth of monsters, so they moved their homes or even erased their own existence.
Integers belonged to the latter case here.
It exists in the form of pure power because it has diluted its presence, and it is highly likely that Argos took it.
So, was it possible to put the eye color in all directions?
For some reason, I thought it was unusually great. I also thought that he raised his power like that with a penalty more severe than Maxim Gedez.
“I’m totally hooked.”
[Anyway, where do you say something like that?]
“Anyway, does that mean that there is a high probability that Argos has the power of the divine beast?”
[yes.]
“Then what should I do?”
[The gods are supposed to live in harmony with the world from the moment they exist. Those who break down those boundaries have been called beasts, not divine beasts. That human is abusing the power of the divine beast to realize his ideal. I think it must be returned.]
I thought Yong-yong would say this. Even though he looks fierce, he is proud of himself as a divine beast.
Then you should throw the bait.
“Then help me a lot.”
[yes? why me?]
“After all, you say that because you don’t manage it properly, the power of the divine beast comes out and confuses the world. Then, of course, the gods have to step in, aren’t they?”
[…] … .]
“Of course, it’s a human-related thing, so I’m not saying you have to do everything. We want each other to be the same, so let’s work together. If you don’t like it, just leave it alone.”
If you don’t like it, you can come out yourself and cry out loud and smash everything.
Otherwise, it would be a good choice to let other gods know.
Hearing my murmuring, Yong-yong quickly wags his tail, showing a sign of urgency.
[Oh, no. I will cooperate.]
“You promised?”
[yes!]
With this, I was able to actively wield the divine beast in the future.
Yong-yong knew that too, so his expression was not good.
“And I have one question.”
[What?]
“If humans have taken the essence of a divine beast, are there cases where even a demon can take the essence of a divine beast?”
[…] … .]
Yong-yong didn’t answer.

When I arrived in Seoul, there was still controversy over China and Russia on TV.
The majority of the reaction was that the people felt cool.
Sometimes I’m surprised, but the sentiment toward China in Korea was not as good as I thought it would be.
Each has their own reasons, but the reasons are very clear.
In the beginning, before the appearance of the monster, there were emotions accumulated from various incidents and accidents, but after the appearance of the monster, the US hegemony in the Pacific was shaken and intensified.
South Korea quickly moved away from the sphere of influence of the United States, and it was China that sought to take its place.
Naturally, in the process, intimidating and demeaning remarks were poured out. A buffer zone was formed because of the collapsed North Korea, but all kinds of remarks were made, saying that they had their influence over North Korea and the Republic of Korea, and that if the remains of a level 8 monster appeared, Seoul would be destroyed and help when it could not do its job.
It is a time of great power toward a small country, but if you look at the reality, Korea had a narrow land, mountainous areas that occupied more than half of the territory, and a high population density, so good conditions were formed to fend off the threat of monsters.
So, from the standpoint of watching, there is no choice but to laugh.
… In fact, it was also what I induced to show China and Russia clash.
To be precise, it was meant to make it look like China and the league were in conflict.
No matter who launched the missile, it would appear to have been launched from China.
From China’s point of view, it has increased by one enemy.
“Sam Tong, Sam Tong.”
When I got home, Yoon-hee said so. If China and Russia engage in a nerve war, they are telling us to fight aggressively, saying that it will benefit us.
I couldn’t tell Yoon-hee that I had told him to launch that missile.
what to say later
“You have to be a little weaker to keep us from interfering. Or make them check each other.”
Well.
Isn’t that a more extreme statement than I thought?
[Just by looking at it, you are true brothers and sisters.]
“… … .”
I couldn’t refute Yongyong’s words.
“Where?”
“To report the results of the business trip.”
A call came from the Blue House, and I changed clothes and headed to the Blue House.
The president, who greeted me as soon as I arrived, said with a smile.
“What’s happening up there is spreading with a very big wave.”
You seem to be blaming me, but you seem to like it?
Looking at the president’s face, there was no change in his expression. You seem to be having fun, don’t you?
“You shouldn’t morally like the misfortunes of your neighbors, but people’s hearts are different.”
What the president particularly liked is the fact that China became involved with the league.
In the meantime, China has been extremely avoiding confrontation with the league. Rather, the relationship continued to the extent that rumors circulated that they were cooperating with the league from behind.
The reason was simple. The idea was that while the league was fighting the world, China would build up its power and aim for hegemony after the age of monsters.
The intention is to reproduce the strategy that the United States used to grow into G2 by cultivating strength while it was drained of energy by sinking into the swamp of the Middle East.
Everyone has a plan that seems like it.
until you get hit.
Until I appeared, China’s plan was going well.
“On the surface, they see it as a clash between China and Russia, but those who know the inside know that China has hit the league.”
This proves that China has also been dragged into the swamp of the league.
“It’s unfolding similarly to what I thought it would be.”
“I have released one more poison here.”
“What is it?”
“It has to do with Wei Hao… … .”
I told Yu Hao that he was banned and that he released it and appointed him to level 9.
Even the content that will be officially announced soon.
The president looked at me with an absurd expression and burst into laughter.
“China will consume enormous power from within.”
“I was pushed to do that.”
“haha.”
The fact that Korean blood flows through Wi Hao would be a good cause.
The president was delighted when I heard that I had killed the Russian zodiac Gemerai at the base of the league and brought the body.
You got it right.
I’m done looking at this roughly, so I’ll take out what I want soon.
“This operation was very meaningful to me.”
“Is it because of the elimination of the league base?”
“Yes. I was satisfied with both the process and the result.”
It also gave me the confidence to do better next time.
I slowly got to the point.
“The league guys ran away first, but I thought that a first strike with missiles was a very good tool.”
“right… … ?”
The president had a shaky expression on his face.
“I thought it would be good to use this tactic to clear the league in the future.”
“What are you talking about?”
“A missile.”
To pretend you don’t understand.
The president’s response slowed down when he mentioned it directly in an attempt to sneak away.
“… What do you want?”
“Why don’t you sell me a missile for personal use?”
“… … .”
The president was silent. I guess my suggestion is that surprising.
But I had come with an opinion to support my logic.
“I heard that maintenance costs are high if not used for a long time. Wouldn’t it be a virtuous cycle because if I use it properly against the league, I can secure missile usage data, reduce management costs, and make new investments?”
It was a proposal of one stone and three groups.
“That’s true, but I’m a little embarrassed that I’ve never sold missiles to individuals before.”
The president’s reaction was not unusual.
No, it’s more serious, so I have more faith.
So I’m even more greedy.
Upon investigation, South Korea’s missiles were the best in the world. Since I had already tasted missiles, I thought that there could be no more reliable cover than this if I secured a few missiles and fired them first when needed.
For example, when removing Zhang Yuyuan, it would have been possible to save a lot of trouble if the location was checked and the missile was launched first.
Oh, wouldn’t it have been impossible to get rid of Namgunggi?
Whatever it is, it does exist.
I ranted to the president and said,
“You trust me and sell.”
I thought that the president would naturally accept the trust that had been built up over the years.
I’m not North Korea’s Rocket Man before the collapse of some sort, and I’m suggesting that we fire missiles at the moment we need them… … .
“Of course I don’t believe it. If I’m wrong, I’ll try to launch the missile first.”
“Yes?”
“Uh-huh! I made a mistake without realizing it.”
The president, who coughed in vain, turned away from my gaze.
Did you really think so… … ?
“… … .”
An awkward silence settled between us.
