101 – EP4. Broken Justice
-Imperial.
Flesh and bones pouring down.
All of that is spreading indiscriminately, soaking the floor where I am standing.
Blood gushing out like a fountain from the cross-sectional area.
Even that didn’t last long, and the collapsed body eventually began to soak the ground with blood.
The convulsions are occurring, but they are not caused by one’s own will.
The moment when the wings that were flying were cruelly broken and crashed.
There were no noble heroes in front of me anymore.
“What the hell… ….”
“What on earth are you doing! “What a useless guy!”
As I was looking down at the corpse in vain, I began to hear shouting from afar.
The screams of an ugly old man. Although it was only my first time meeting him in person, there was no way I could forget that voice.
Admont McCoy.
The one who gave me the reason I came here.
“I… …. Do you think I gave that power to the nameless villain Naburangi to help him get pushed back!? Useless guy……. Even if you were given a chance, you couldn’t use it properly, so you’ve been rolling around at the bottom!!’
Far away.
A shouting sound coming from a hole in the ceiling.
“Calm down, old man.”
A low voice sounded as if to dissuade him.
Starting with the androgynous male one, shadows began to increase one by one on each floor of the underground facility.
In an abandoned laboratory that is largely unknown, there are more than ten people presumed to be his followers…….
No, even though I couldn’t see them clearly, I could guess it right away through their voices and the atmosphere they gave off.
They are not heroes like Vanguard, but a group of villains operating from the shadows.
“He still had some power, but he wasn’t a good guy to use in the first place, right?”
“On the contrary, think that it went well. I heard that every time I did something, everything was interrupted……. “If I had left it alone, I might have had a big accident later, right?”
Did you take advantage of the gap between the fight with Vanguard and bring me here?
The ground must be guarded by Shadows, but where did they come from? Has there been a secret passage somewhere?
“Still, I heard unofficially that he was an S-class fighter, so I can’t believe he’s on the same level as that guy. That guy seems to be quite skilled too.”
“But is he really a villain? He’s using a bread bag…….”
“No matter what happens, it is already at its limit. “It’s not difficult to subdue.”
Those guys gradually revealed their malice toward me, but even so, I couldn’t pay them any attention.
Checking popularity only lasts for a moment.
When I came to my senses, my eyes were once again focused on the corpse lying on the floor.
“…… Under.”
So what is it?
Is it true that the guy I fought so desperately was, in the end, nothing more than a cheap doll made to match his strengths?
A guy like that can easily be replaced by villains, right?
“hahahaha, hahahaha!!”
From Noble mtl dot com
This is truly a ridiculous story.
Not only did he use his power as an executive to cover up all kinds of affairs, he went beyond making deals with villains and called in those villains to protect his own person and resolve the situation.
If the result is right, it’s okay and you should do your best to carry out the work.
“… “Bring that guy to me.”
However, he seemed not to be aware of his situation, suppressing his moans due to the pain caused by his broken arm, and began yelling at the villains surrounding him.
“This is the guy who made my arm like this, but I can’t kill him nicely…” …. “I will give the guy who brings that head a chance to have the power that that damn girl, Seolhwa, has!”
“hahahaha! That’s great! “This is a chance to learn none other than the greatest power!”
“Whoever catches it first is the owner!!”
Villains who laugh cheerfully as if they will attack at any moment.
Nevertheless, I could not muster the will to run away.
It’s not because I don’t understand the situation. It’s just that my emotions can’t keep up with my immediate thoughts.
Did you say that when your anger reaches its peak, you actually feel calm? …. Yes, that’s what I’m feeling right now.
With that calmness, I was gradually realizing it.
Justice and evil, everything that I and he shared while fighting was ultimately nothing more than an individual’s will.
In the end, it is not even an opinion that represents each faction. It can be denied at any time, even by those on the same side.
The enemy of a villain is a villain. I had already accepted it and made up my mind.
But he… ….
‘Mac, Koi. Why… ….’
He never expected this kind of result.
Even though he entered the world of external affairs, that old man also reached out to this work out of a desire for greater power in order to drive out evil from this land.
Even if you don’t know the method, you probably thought the result would be right.
Still, he must have firmly believed that if he followed suit, he would be able to achieve the ideal he desired.
“As expected.”
I realized this just by seeing that situation.
In the end, there are many types of justice.
Nevertheless, people are not respected because they are different, so in the end, a world will unfold where those who have gone ahead lead the whole order.
As he said, justice is not perfect.
Even the concept that should move toward perfection ends up stagnating at some point due to the natural order of things.
“As expected, it was wrong from the beginning. “This era.”
An era in which we refuse change without awareness even though we are rotting.
With that realization, even the will I had endured all along was swallowed up by anger, and black threads began to sprout from all over my body.
The moment when what I would call the destiny that formed my existence was ready to run amok regardless of my will.
-Blah blah blah!!
But nothing happened that was beyond my control.
The body that was supposed to collapse like that suddenly became erect due to alertness to a huge disaster that would cover the space.
“What, what…?” . What… ….”
-Bloody enemy!
All the air in the space froze, and the cold began to form frost all over the walls.
-Bloody enemy!
At that moment, screams erupted from all over, but even then there was only frozen silence in the basement. It didn’t take long to realize what it came from.
‘Absolute Zero.’
The power to ignore the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses and neutralize everything within the range of one’s power.
With that power, no matter how many opponents there are or how strong they are, you can instantly take away the warmth of their bodies and render them incapacitated.
If you lose your self-control and exercise your power, you can forget even the awareness that you are dead.
“What a crazy b*tch. Yes, what have you done……. Heeik!!”
That merciless blade is pointed at the last remaining guy at this moment.
Soon, the ugly screams of an old man resound.
There was no room for the person in control.
What on earth happened? Unfortunately, from here, I couldn’t see what was happening up there.
-Roaring!
While I was moving relentlessly with my body recovering from its slight regenerative power, I clearly felt a ringing sound throughout the space.
The moment when a site that could not withstand a severe disaster collapses.
-Jejeok!
But even that was frozen by the cold that filled the space.
As I wandered through the place where time seemed to have stopped, everything that existed at the end was engraved in my eyes.
Ice dolls everywhere…….
No, frozen corpses that can no longer be called life.
After passing them, I arrived at a dead end and saw an old man with his broken arm hanging down, pressing the remote control in his hand.
“What is it? Why… …. Why, why why! “Why doesn’t it work!!”
The control device that exploded Vanguard’s head.
That function would have been better applied to none other than Seolhwaran.
It is only because of the effectiveness of her remote control that she was able to overpower the woman who was said to be the strongest.
-Blah blah blah.
But she was taking her steps, albeit with shaky steps, towards her McCoy.
The frost on his body and the unnatural movements of his joints.
I was able to realize it just by looking at the back.
While she was preoccupied with me, she used what little power she had available to freeze my body.
If you raise the level to a certain amount, you will be able to suppress the collapse phenomenon caused by stimulating the inside of the body.
“Crazy, crazy things…” ….”
Yes, she is currently in a state where more than 80% of her body is not functioning properly.
The only thing you can do is move your limbs creakingly, and your head is also frozen, so it would be impossible to think rationally.
Nevertheless, the reason I moved was because I had a tenacity that reached the point of madness.
As I was watching that scene, I could not bear to stop his struggle. At this moment, I couldn’t do it with my own hands.
“You, you… …. How could you do this to me! The one who gave me that power was none other than me! Because of that power, you have been able to act as you please… ….”
-Bloody enemy!
-Blah blah blah!!!
Icicles rising with every step.
The uncontrolled power was spreading like crazy in all directions, penetrating the frozen space.
“Now, wait a minute. Wait! Yeah, yeah. Let’s make a deal. Give me a chance! If so, then I will give you more power than you have. I can do it!! If you cooperate just a little, then you can climb to a higher place than you are now…….”
Apart from the terrifying advance, the area around McCoy was extremely quiet.
Even though he could kill him at any moment, he just continues to show off his power with him in front of him.
“Save me… ….”
At the end, McCoy opens his mouth and speaks as he pleases.
As if waiting for her words, she began to gradually extend her frozen hand towards him.
“Jebaaal! Argh! Please, save me. Save me!! I was wrong, stop…….”
At the very end.
A follower of justice who cries out uglyly only after facing the disaster that is slowly coming towards him.
As I was watching, a faint smile gradually began to appear on my lips.
“Yes, I guess that’s all you ended up with.”
Yes, in the end, his sincerity can only be proven when a knife is inserted into his body.
In the end, the person in front of me was a follower of justice, but unlike the man who maintained his integrity even in the end, he was someone who used it as a means, not as an end.
A being who used justice as an excuse to justify his own actions and used it only as a means to elevate his own performance and existence.
“In the end, you were just an ordinary little villain.”
Of course, he may have thought it was right, but in the end, it was just a mindset based on a stage filled with TV productions and statistical data written down in documents.
That alone is not enough to understand the evil that is rampant in the world.
For those who were swayed by such things and entered the battlefield, what awaited them was only despair.
“Live, save… ….”
A body slowly freezing without even leaving a single scream. At the end, she faced his ugly, hardened face and placed her hand on his face as if to support her tilted body.
I didn’t say anything, but just swept his face away with a weak hand gesture.
-Pussuk!
With just such an act, the body crumbled, and the white powder scattered around eventually disappeared without even leaving behind its original form.
That was the end of one woman’s quest for revenge.
Her grip, which was holding nothing, was all that was left to her.
– Shake it off.
Then what happens after that?
Soon, the body falls down mercilessly on the frost-covered floor.
I walked toward her, who had fallen with all her strength, and took her steps little by little.
One step at a time.
The moment when the frost that melted in an instant disappears as it loses its power, and the cracks that had been filled open again.
“Revenge, successful.”
In the midst of the collapse of space that began, I praised her for revenge.
“…How do you feel?”
But he also won’t be able to comfort her.
She came here not of her own will, but simply because she was pushed by circumstances.
“…… “It’s vain.”
What is Villain Seolhwa?
An inevitable being who has never wanted anything from the beginning and is simply swayed by circumstances into the path of evil.
“I threw away a lot of things.”
But she is also human.
Not once before.
Even though she may have turned away from herself, she is a person who has never abandoned that side of her.
“On the way here, I used a lot of things…”
What she felt the moment she completed her revenge was not a feeling of exhilaration.
With nothing left, what she has to do is look back on the past, not the future.
This moment of looking back on her life was the price she paid for the sins she had committed so far.
“Innocent people… …. “I’ve been looking away for this moment.”
If.
What would it have been like if she had had the chance to make her own choice?
Wouldn’t this humane aspect have contributed to brightening the world to some extent?
“What should I do now?”
But it has already happened.
If you spilled water, you can just put it back in, but even her bowl to put something new in it was completely ruined.
Having sacrificed everything just for this moment, she cannot pursue anything, and she cannot hope for anything more.
“To calm this heart……. Should we destroy this whole world?”
Losing enthusiasm for life.
Now we have no choice but to live with madness rather than reason.
“You know, right?”
Nevertheless, I do not wish for such a future.
What she did, not wanting to accumulate any more regrets, was to abandon her own judgment.
“You…” …. Because unlike me, there is tomorrow. Still, I know what I should do.”
The only thing left at this moment.
If it’s an old relationship that doesn’t even remain in my memory.
Still, he might tell you the choice you would have made when you had the moment of choice.
“Please, tell me the answer. I am…. Now, what should I do…….”
“Let’s go back.”
But unfortunately, that is also just an expectation.
Unfortunately for her, I couldn’t give her the answer she wanted.
All I can do is provide a reprieve for her, hoping that the decisions she makes now will be impulsive and only a temporary result.
“Let’s go back, where to… ….”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Anywhere.”
She may spend the rest of her life in madness, but still.
Still, she hopes that even if it’s just one chance, she will find a chance to stand up on her own.
“Let’s go back.”
-Kugugung, boom!
Soon, the scene of disaster collapses horribly.
As everything in this underground area continued to be prepared for burial, a shadow began to stir in front of me as I carried her body.
Shadow of the new arrival mall. Her old colleague, who was supposed to take her with me, noticed the strange incident on the ground and hurried to meet her.
Engrave that image in your eyes for just a moment.
I stopped for a moment and looked back at the path I had taken.
A hole connected by footprints in the snow that has not yet completely melted.
The falling rocks below due to the collapse of the ground and facilities will most likely hide everything that happened at this site from being revealed.
Atrocities committed by corrupt followers of justice and inevitable evildoers born from them.
And the miserable end of the savior that this era threw away will continue forever.
Or forever……
