191 – The Worst Future
The Grand Family.
The rulers of the continent who rule a piece of the continent divided into eight.
The members of the Great Council are the head of the great family.
It was a huge burden and risk for them to get out of their territory and go directly to Palyeonseong located far away from it.
For that reason, the regular meetings of the Great Council, which are held periodically in the Palyeonseong, were also held remotely through the jewels and magic tools prepared there.
“The true Harassin.”
But now.
The lawmakers were directly filling the seats in Palyeonseong.
There were strong requests from several lawmakers.
Accordingly, an emergency meeting was convened, and soon after, another emergency meeting was called.
Not even remote participation through communication magic, but direct participation through interviews.
Large-scale spatial movement consumes enormous resources.
Moreover, if the moving targets are beings with transcendental powers like council members, the consumed resources increase exponentially.
The resources consumed when members of the council make a large-scale movement to respond to the convocation are to the extent that if they were ordinary nobles, their families would be uprooted.
“Our expectations were wrong.”
Nevertheless, lawmakers immediately responded to the convocation without expressing any questions or complaints.
The matter they heard was just as serious.
It could be said that the survival of the continent depended on it.
Three families in charge of monitoring the Great Demon Mirror, where the incarnation of the Demon King is sealed.
With the exception of Libringer, Hanahan, and Leolian, all members responded to the sudden summons without delay.
“They-“
The head of the Senate of Rebringer.
The former head of Rebringer, who attended as a representative, was speaking.
“It has power far beyond our expectations.”
She reported on the experiences of the three knight commanders at the academy.
“So now, this?”
Nonsense!
My God!
Oh, Mother of the Furnace!
A dwarf with a thick beard who had been reacting most passionately to her words since earlier.
Doff, the owner of the hammer opened his mouth.
“Smiley face. His identity was Ceylon, the new head of the academy’s swordsmanship department. And he was a Yang-blood who achieved 8 stars in assassination and black magic. With that power, the smiley face overpowered the knight commanders of the three families, Rebringer, Hanahan, and Leolian, and escaped from their encirclement. How, did I understand correctly?”
At Dope’s question, the former head of the Live Ringer nodded.
“Oh, my beard!!!”
Then, Dope and other family heads showed their shock without resistance.
“Yanghyeol reached 8 stars on both roads. Impossible.”
Her head was taller than other stout men, and she was a tall woman who naturally looked down on others at eye level.
Elesis, Chen Lei shook his head resolutely.
“Then, how would you interpret the report of the three knight commanders?”
“… “
Chun Lei could not answer the question of former head of Leolian.
“A sword of ashes. Ice Jade. Knife wind. It wasn’t enough to withstand their pincer attack, it overpowered them. Dangerous. If that’s true, then a true direct line master of God Hara would have the power equivalent to transcendence.”
A small man with a hazy body like fog.
Dedler, the fog armor monologued with a serious face.
As Dedler said, in order to be able to deal with the three knight commanders at the same time, you had to reach the realm of transcendence- or have power comparable to that.
That is.
The report of the three knight commanders implied that one of the true direct masters of Harasin had power comparable to that of members of the Great Council.
“How many direct line masters are there in the true Harasin…?” ?”
A pure white girl covered her eyes with an eye patch.
Bastion, Kwangmyeong muttered with a stunned face.
“No. Laughing Fiery would be an exception.”
Chun Lei resolutely denied the possibility that Gwangmyeong suggested.
A sheep blood with the power equivalent to transcendence. Smiling face.
A right-handed man and a ronin, whom he entrusted as his teacher, probably have stronger power than him.
A rebellious force that deals with assassination and dark magic and claims the name of the true God Hara has that much power.
Already hard to accept by itself-
It was a nightmare I didn’t want to accept.
By the way, there are many direct masters who can go further than that and respond to smiling faces?
“Or, like Harasin, he has eight arms like his right arm, and his direct master, who looks like a smiling face, has eight. Is that what you want to say?”
In that case.
The true Harassin becomes an entity beyond the control of the Great Council.
Moreover, it may become a difficult existence to handle.
It may or may not exist.
Cheonroe actively denied it.
“No.”
At that moment, a person with a flawless and inorganic expression, as if wearing a golden mask, muttered resolutely.
Sharlog, it was a golden mask.
“Thunder. Now is not the time to deny or turn a blind eye. It is the time to accept and prepare for all possibilities.”
“…What do you mean?”
After receiving the report from the three knight commanders, Rebringer, Hanahan, and Leolian strongly demanded an urgent meeting.
By the way.
Golden Mask went one step further and strongly requested that the meeting be held in person rather than remotely.
Golden Mask.
A prophet who holds the past and sees the future from it.
What the hell did he see?
The attention of the place was focused on the golden mask.
“It is better to see once than answer a hundred questions.”
Took.
The golden mask put something on the tabletop.
It was a golden mask that had been rotted and stained black.
“…!”
Congressmen who knew what it meant were horrified.
The Golden Prophet Shalog records the past and peeks into the future, to continue the Golden Age.
The Golden Age. An era of peace.
The deterioration of the golden mask, the downfall of the era of peace-
It meant the downfall of the Great Council.
The golden mask went beyond deterioration and turned into perfect darkness.
It was an unprecedented event in the history of the continent.
“Charlog, what did you see?”
At Chun Lei’s question, Golden Mask closed his eyes and chose his words.
“Apocalypse.”
“…Is this the end of the Conclave?”
“More than that.”
“…!”
“From now on, we will observe a possible future that will be caused by those whose fate was twisted by the academy raid incident.”
“Fate is twisted due to the academy raid incident… Who is that?”
“I don’t know.”
The powers that the Shalog prophets wield were close to miracles, but they weren’t miracles themselves.
Many restrictions and conditions followed in exercising that power.
“All we can do is borrow the fate of the target and spy on the future of the target.”
“Borrowing fate, spying on the future… ? If so, could the subject notice it and intervene?”
“The possibility exists, but it is close to impossible. The subject will temporarily lose themselves and fall into a coma. You won’t see anything, you won’t hear anything, you won’t remember anything. Perhaps, the mind of the target may collapse.”
“… “
Thunder struck her tongue.
Sharlog’s powers were based on mental magic.
It was a power close to a power that no wizard could imitate.
“For what price?”
There was no way she could use such power recklessly.
At the question of thunder, the golden mask calmly closed its eyes.
“Half of me.”
“…”
The legislators didn’t know what “Half of me” Meant, but they didn’t dare to ask the question.
I just wanted to thank him for his noble dedication and make sure it wasn’t in vain.
“Are you ready?”
Prepare to intervene in the subject’s fate and glimpse the worst possible future he can create.
The lawmakers nodded.
Sharlog lifted the mask and placed the goblet under it.
As the mask melted, the glass was filled.
A drink.
Two glasses.
Soon, all the members of the council had glasses in their hands.
They drank it at the same time.
***
After making budaejjigae at Yeom, he graduates from the academy and lives a leisurely life.
My original plan was successfully canceled due to the public cassock show prepared by the Black Roots as a surprise trolling.
‘My Plugin Baby…!’
I was troubled.
What should I do from now on?
That worry didn’t last long.
‘Well, first of all, I have to finish the Dawn Budae-Jjigae.’
Maybe it worked out better!
This won’t make it easier to clear achievements!
It was a situation where I could think that way if I became a devil of optimism after drinking ten bottles of soju.
Until now, the reason I bought the protractor until it was dry and worn out when I was making Dawn Budaejjigae and clearing achievements was to protect my small and fragile main character.
But now that the main character is cassocked?
There was no reason to buy any more.
Notice?
Are you taking care of yourself?
‘I left it in the deleted character inventory.’
It wasn’t for nothing that the main character was a person who had nothing to lose in a revenge story.
The firepower of executive power possessed by those who had nothing to lose was unmatched.
An assassin killed about a thousand people when his dog died.
Then what can an assassin whose main character he raised die die?
At that limitless possibility, I felt the same omnipotence felt by an elementary school student on vacation.
And do you know?
By the time you boil the Dawn Budaejjigae and watch the true ending, will the true Harasin members be treated better than the academy graduates?
‘Good.’
In that sense, I decided to learn the alter ego skill first.
Three days later.
George will be rampant in the Ragen Plain, located east of Arien.
I said that to the audience at the cassock show.
Actually.
Not in three days, but tomorrow.
According to the strategy guide, two demon dukes will join hands in Ragen Plain tomorrow and come out to drink in the real world.
This is the bloody result of holding hands with Shin Hara and the black root school.
It was an event called ‘Ragen blood battle’ in the game-
Befitting the name Blood Battle, it was an event where a lot of people died.
***
[Title: spoiler) Wow, he dies here]
Details: I thought that would be the case with the deaths of the Knights Commander of Rebringer and the Knights of Bastion, but what kind of light would die?
Ha… She was in the top 3 on my bride list.
[Isn’t that why he committed suicide?]
[What]
[Bride of Jesse vs. Death Note, who is stronger?]
[It’s a battle that makes your heart grow bigger]
[You say so cute. Would you like to be my bride?]
[Shinkiyaaak]
[No, but ss Gwangmyeong dies? Ah, spoiler, you bastard]
[Can’t see the title?]
[Then if I put terrorism in front of me too, can I take a picture of Morning Eung and post it as a comment on every post you post?]
[You seem crazy, so I’ll just apologize]
***
As many as two knight commanders and one head dies.
Even that was the result of the player’s optimal actions after the event occurred.
Yes.
The best response to the ‘Ragen Thrombus’ event is to prevent it before it even occurs.
That was also the condition for clearing [Achievement: Stop].
So, I’m planning to go and play first before Harasin and the Black Roots ten birds do.
Blood clots?
There is nothing like that.
Gorgeous?
There is nothing like that.
Then, what will happen to the ‘Lagen Festival’, which was notified to the audience watching the cassock show?
‘Now, that’s where the alter ego appears.’
The crisis of the two demons,
I will replace it with my alter ego.
The moment when the leader of the knights and the head of the family are put in a fake crisis by my alter ego?
Taran.
A hero appears.
The real Harasin rescues the heroes in fake danger.
Not only will that make it clear to the Great Council that the true Harasin is not the enemy.
From noble mtl dot com
If you do well, an 8- or 9-star hero might fall into the budae stew pot depending on the swinging bridge effect.
To be treated as a hero through a self-made play.
Adolescents with serious illness who spend their days daydreaming were also shaking their heads, saying, ‘Oh, that’s a bit…’.
Well, still.
It’s definitely better than leaving them in real danger and saving them.
‘It’s to prevent a catastrophe that will result in many casualties, so can’t we get this right?’
In the first place.
If you would have acknowledged it when you saved a student, I wouldn’t have to go this far.
‘Thrall, you made me like this.’
Therefore, there was no such thing as guilt.
I took out the dungeon key I stole from the criminal organization’s auction house the other day in order to immediately acquire the clone skill.
And the moment I tried to activate the dungeon key.
“…!”
I felt a strong sense of incongruity.
Something crept into my mind.
‘It’s heavy…!?’
Wouldn’t it be this much of a blow that contains everything of a person with 9-star powers?

[Attribute: Black cloth does not stain]
[Rating: Unique]
Description: You are free from all mental interference.
It’s already stained enough, so there’s nothing obvious about sweat and blood.
That’s the prerogative of messy people.
──────────────────
It was an unexpected attack, so it would have been difficult to deal with if it wasn’t for the power of the attribute.
‘What is this…?’
I was given two options.
Should I destroy the magic that has penetrated my mind?
Or, will you match that magic?
‘Let’s hang out.’
It looks like some kind of mental magic.
As long as I have that characteristic, the chance that I will be harmed by mind magic will be small.
First of all.
I was curious about the intentions and purpose of those who used mental magic on me.
So I decided to keep an eye on the uninvited guest who broke into my house.
‘Let’s see together.’
That moment.
“Oh.”
Another world unfolded before my eyes.
I could vaguely understand.
This was my future.
The myriad futures unfolding before me.
Let’s go to one of them.
In that future, I-

“Hey…!”
A pitch-black blade pierced the chest of light.
With the blindfold removed, the white eyes of Gwangmyeong stared at the owner of the blade.
Then his eyes were stained with darkness.
“Bastion…!”
Then, the spear of darkness pierced the arm of the thunderbolt that was about to strike.
“Keep it up-“
The owner of the hammer was lying on his stomach and spewing out darkness.
A very distant future.
Someone wearing the darkness instead of a mask-
The family heads were slaughtered.
‘Oh.’
Now I am the owner of this world.
That’s why I could feel it.
Uninvited guests.
They were shocked to see the same scene as me.
They thought.
I was curious.
The identity of the being that is slaughtering itself.
I really wanted to know.
Who is that?
‘Crazy, could it be that a strange guy came out with a bad ending?’
I was in the middle of such a panic.
‘Oh.’
I suddenly realized.
That’s me.
Then why am I slaughtering them?
Why?
‘Oh.’
I realized.
No.
I remembered.
I said.
No, the future me said.
“You must be very satisfied. Your wish has come true.”
It was an empty voice that I would never be able to utter even if I borrowed the power of my traits.
Oh damn. Let the sleeping dogs lie
