The Phantom’s eyes on me were seriously sunken. It’s probably the most important thing in the party right now, without revealing your deep feelings.
Leviathan.
The monster in the myth is a monster that plays a decisive role in the decline of the party.
The beast, which was tethered to the Atlantic and took the entire Atlantic as its territory, split in half the power of the party that had dominated the United States and Europe.
As a result, the European branch began to deviate from American control, and the party forces were divided.
Even more painful is the fact that their influence in North America has been reduced as they betrayed even the ambitious league they had organized. Even that, the power of the government is getting stronger in recent years.
The monster that the party must eliminate is the Leviathan.
Due to this monster that divided the Atlantic Ocean, there is an evaluation that the Americas and Europe went back to before the Age of Discovery.
To that extent, the majesty of a monster called Leviathan is great.
Judging from this concept, it is safe to say that the two-horned monster has existed for a long time.
It’s just that a new concept hasn’t appeared, and it’s safe to say that the power of the monsters left behind as a nightmare in the desert, a Leviathan, a legend, or a ghost story has reached that stage.
“What do I gain by removing this?”
“I will give you half the world.”
“You mean you think I’ll covet it?”
“No. But I am sure you will accept it.”
“why?”
“Because your goal is to hunt stronger monsters.”
“… … .”
“is not it?”
[Do I know exactly about you?]
As Phantom and Yong-yong said. It’s true that I became interested in a monster called Leviathan.
At the same time, I felt resentment. He is full of thoughts of using my powers. Perhaps if I get rid of the Leviathan, the Phantoms will try to restore the party’s power. What does that benefit me? Wouldn’t it be rather annoying?
“You mean that you know me well?”
“It must have been because of growing resentment towards me that he wanted to say no.”
“You know?”
“But I believe in the desire to hunt strong monsters. You know very well that we don’t really care about losing, roasting and fighting.”
You really did a lot of research on me. After all, the European party forces have been largely dismantled, so if the Phantom wants to restore it, a clash with the European Union will be inevitable.
After the United States and Europe, it will consume a considerable amount of energy if it is roasted. From my point of view, there’s nothing wrong with fighting amongst themselves.
“This is not enough to stimulate interest.”
The world was wide, and even if it wasn’t a Leviathan, strong monsters were widespread.
I know my ransom will increase, but do I really need to get rid of the Leviathan?
Phantom rolled up the corners of his mouth as if he knew this.
“Then what about this?”
“What?”
“I’ll tell you where the league is.”
“… … .”
[Wow, I know what you really want. That old human ghost, it’s a ghost.]
As Yong-Yong said
I didn’t know the story of the league’s stronghold would come out, so I was blown away.
“… Are you okay?”
“You have a lot of time, so think about it slowly. Besides that, there are many gift packs we have prepared.”
Phantom rolled up the corners of his mouth and smiled miserably.
Should we just brainwash the information?
[You are amazing when you think like that.]
* * *
The conversation with the Phantom and the actions of the US government that followed were quite impressive.
Vice President Daniel dealt with me directly and had strict control over others who approached me intentionally. It has saved me a lot of work that bothers me.
That’s exactly what suits my taste.
“This is not to say that the world was wrinkled for nothing.”
At the same time, he delivered some key points to me and negotiated from various angles, mainly by contacting the government diplomats. It was an act of taking care of stall while thoroughly avoiding things that bother me.
[So, how are you going to hunt that monster?]
Yongyong showed great interest in Leviathan. He said that he didn’t know much about the monsters in the Atlantic Ocean because they were so far away.
The gods who wander around the world say that they don’t know the monsters that exist on the other side of the world?
[It’s not good for us to run around and crash.]
When you say that, it suddenly makes sense. Yong-yong is not a contemplative view that this guy quarrels with.
Yong-yong was furious when he heard my inner thoughts.
[Are you crossing the line? Anyway, answer me or do the laundry.]
“I am thinking. It could be that it does something good for others.”
[Pretty calculating?]
“I like dealing with annoying guys, but I don’t like having others do good things.”
So I blew the head of the guy who was trying to use my power even when he was bloody. A few times, he was afraid to even approach me, let alone use me.
Nevertheless, the guy he was trying to use appeared steadily and his head flew steadily.
Rather, it was the merchants who ripped me off that I didn’t get my hands on.
I used it for good.
It is the history of Hogu that makes my teeth tremble when I think about it now.
[But the thing I’m worried about is that I’m quite attracted to you?]
“right.”
[I thought so.]
And it wasn’t just the Phantom that induced me.
Yong-yong This guy has been trying to induce my decision in secret for a long time ago.
“Did you say you didn’t know much about Leviathan?”
[right?]
“That means you know to some extent.”
[Yes.]
I brought out the content that had been circling in my head for a while to Yong-yong.
“Then let me ask you, is a Leviathan a divine beast or a monster? Or is it none of the two?”
[…] … .]
Yongyong was silent. I thought you would get this kind of reaction.
I thought it was something I knew 100% of the time when I pretended not to know and secretly induced it.
“Think slowly and tell me when you’re done.”
After all, it was Yong-yong or Phantom who wanted a place to borrow my power.
It’s okay if I just watch and change my mind.
About 30 minutes have passed since then. And as if he had finished organizing his thoughts, Yong-yong spoke with difficulty.
[The Leviathan is a special being. Shinsou also crosses the borderline that cannot be called a monster.]
“Tell me more.”
[So… … .]
Yong-yong’s next words were quite unexpected. Originally, Leviathan was one of many monsters that existed in the Atlantic Ocean. This monster, which was strong on its own, absorbed the essence of the divine beast that was drifting in the Atlantic Ocean.
And not only absorbed the power of the divine beast, but also possessed the spirituality of the divine beast.
“Then, aren’t you a god?”
[no.]
Although possessed of spirituality, the Leviathan still has the tendency of a monster, and it is said that it has absorbed the power of the divine beast. As a result, it is said that the Leviathan, a living being that crosses boundaries that is neither a divine nor a monster, was born.
[Other Divine Beasts are very concerned about Leviathan. It was the same for me, Hyuna, and Thunderbird. He knew that, so he didn’t want to leave the Atlantic.]
Rather, trying to defend the Atlantic Ocean thoroughly was a disaster for the Phantom.
That’s not what I know.
“So you must be trying to use me to get rid of him.”
[Yeah, because that person asks for me, it’s good to fulfill my purpose at the same time, right? It’s good that you fight strong enemies too. It’s a happy development for everyone.]
he’s a very naughty guy To show a foolish side to distract me and then try to achieve my goal in this way. Maybe it was all the acting that I’ve been showing off in the past.
… No, it can’t be. That would be the original shape of the dragon.
[This is really disrespectful. Even ignoring the divine water, it is an oily resin.]
Of course, I am not ignoring the gods. However, Yong-yong thinks it is cheap even if he is ignored.
It is considered special treatment.
[Wow! really!]
If I ran all over the place, that was all. Anyway, after I got more information about Leviathan, I decided to think about it a bit more.
And I was greeted by Jeong Da-hyun, who had a serious expression on her face.
“I met my parents.”
“okay?”
“Yes, my parents are still there. 20 years ago or now.”
Desperateness descended on Jeong Da-hyun’s bitterly smiling face. I guess I didn’t feel good about talking with my family.
“How are you?”
“my heart hurts.”
“Compared to when you were younger?”
Jung Da-hyun’s dark expression softens a little.
“It’s not as sharp as it used to be with a knife. Maybe it’s because I don’t have high expectations. Actually, I didn’t have high expectations.”
“If there is no expectation, there is no disappointment.”
In that regard, Dahyun Jung, who came to the United States and faced disappointing parents, was more courageous than me.
When I was a hematoma, I too regretted having gone crazy. And longing for his family, he would visit his family several times from a distance.
But in the end, he never showed up in front of his family.
It was just an excuse that the Awoken were watching to catch me. I was expecting my family to welcome me without prejudice, but at the same time I was afraid to shatter that expectation. Because I thought that if even my family turned away from me, there would be no other place to lean on.
In that regard, Dahyun Jung, who I met in person, is better.
“Think simple.”
It’s like a coward advising a brave man, but I didn’t have the courage to correct it. Without the miracle of returning to the past, none of this would have happened.
“You in the past and you now are different. Now you are the person who is sure to become a superman. Think and look at that location. That’s it.”
The relationship between parent and child does not change, but the story is different if it is Jeong Da-hyun, a talented person who is likely to become a superhuman.
It becomes a future superhuman composition with a professor and a couple who are of no help in hunting monsters.
Professors are still respected by society, but they are not comparable to superhumans.
In particular, as an American who is serious about image-making for a hero, the status of a superman is beyond imagination.
That is enough to act as a naturalization factor for superhumans from other countries.
“It is. Come to think of it, my parents don’t know what to do with me. Both socially and physically.”
“okay.”
Looking at Dahyun Jung’s relaxed face, she understood exactly what I was saying.
This is her realm.
I believe the rest will take care of itself.
clap clap!
At that moment, the person watching the situation from afar applauded.
“It’s a very heartwarming scene. I was moved by seeing it.”
It was Anna Christine who came in. They were aware of the presence of Nana, Jeong Da-hyun, or Anna Christine, so they didn’t show any reaction.
“I thought it was a story I shouldn’t hear, but is it okay?”
“If you are in the United States, you are well aware of this fact. And wasn’t he taking advantage of this?”
“I don’t know. My interests lie elsewhere.”
And it was Anna Christine who looked at me with a subtle gaze. Jeong Da-hyun, who gathered her eyebrows and watched the scene, does not back down.
“That’s fortunate. I would have turned down right away if you had come.”
“I guess it’s because I haven’t met a proper lobbyist?”
“Still, it doesn’t make any sense.”
“I know. So I didn’t go out. Because I know it means nothing.”
“under.”
Jeong Da-hyun made an absurd expression on her face.
“So why did you come here?”
At my words, Anna Christine turned her head to this place and smiled.
It was a nice smile, even though I knew it was artificial.
“I was commissioned by the government.”
“what?”
“I have someone who has nothing to do with the content of the request, can I tell you?”
“I’m going to leave.”
Jung Da-hyun said that it had nothing to do with him and expressed his intention to step aside.
I nodded, thinking that there was nothing good to hear. It’s still a Patini Rigni Leviathan, so there’s nothing good to hear.
With only the two of them left, Anna Christine spoke about the commission the government had made.
“This is what the government commissioned. Please decline the Leviathan hunting offer from the party.”
