Black Dragon Society (4)
The Black Dragon Society was smoothly incorporated into Masquerade’s affiliated organization thanks to the full cooperation of its leader, the Black Dragon Lord.
I kept a close eye on them to see if they were up to something, but I didn’t find anything suspicious about them.
As if all he wanted to do was contact this side and join them, as the Black Dragon Master himself said.
But it was impossible to completely relax.
Just in case, a dark spirit who became a vampire and came under Heinz’s control was dispatched, so if any problem arises, he will be able to respond immediately.
Considering their usefulness, it was best to just react like this for now and watch for a while.
‘I didn’t intend to completely trust it from the beginning anyway. ‘Because you never know where a spy might be.’
That applies not only to the Black Dragon Society that joined this time, but also to all other organizations.
Including all of the vampire clans based in Europe, the Blazing Torch operating in Southeast Asia, and new agents from the Intelligence Department whom Harley personally recruited.
All organizations maintained strict independence and surveillance systems to prevent betrayal in one place from affecting others.
Only you can clearly understand their situation and directly control it.
Although it was cumbersome, it was absolutely necessary to keep in check the Beoncheonhoe, which was exerting influence over the entire planet behind the shadows of the world.
‘It may not be comparable to the Buncheonhoe, but it is a great harvest to have a well-established Black Dragon Society in China. ‘No matter what, they are guaranteed to have the ability to survive in a land ruled by them.’
In addition, as a former branch leader, reaping the Black Dragon Master who knew the guys well was also an unexpected gain.
Also, as originally expected, I have obtained a key that will be of great help to Hugo’s growth, which is a compilation of numerous martial arts levels…
It was a situation that could only be said to be beneficial in many ways.
“Whoa.”
However, I did not feel very comfortable sitting on the massage chair and quietly closing my eyes as usual.
Because of something I learned from the Black Dragon Master.
“Half of the humans on Earth…? under! “I’m going crazy.”
That alone was an enormous number, reaching billions.
Even that number is just a minimum estimate.
It was a dangerous plan that could result in the death of up to 90% of humanity.
When I heard more details from the Black Dragon Master.
I had to admit that what he said was not an exaggeration.
‘Are you going to pour all the energy that has destroyed and robbed other dimensions onto Earth?’
In this way, a new mystery is sprouting in this land that is barren of supernatural abilities.
That was their final goal, as told by the Black Dragon Master, and set forth by the Lord of the Heavenly Order.
“It’s scarier that it’s not a joke.”
It could not be said to be simply a human problem.
I’m not just saying this; a shock equivalent to the destruction of the world will truly sweep the entire Earth.
It is not for nothing that people call the Earth a barren land of supernatural abilities.
Among the many dimensions known so far, there were worlds with environments and civilizations similar to this one.
However, there has never been a land like Earth where the mystery has completely dried up not only for humans but also for animals, plants, and minerals.
‘If a huge amount of energy suddenly flows into this world where there is no resistance to supernatural powers except for a small number of awakened people…’
Terraforming, which completely destroys the foundation of the world.
Those who could not adapt to the violent changes had no choice but to die.
Of course, Beoncheonhoeju also did his best to minimize the sacrifice as much as possible, as if he had no intention of completely destroying the world.
The problem is that it is not that different from the act of offering a living sacrifice in the form of terrorism that has occurred around the world.
‘Are you saying it’s a sacrifice of a cow for the greater good?’
Without realizing it, my grip tightened.
I couldn’t help but feel bad because I had become that sacrificed ‘cow’ against my will.
Still, thanks to this, minerals and other inorganic substances can embrace their mysteries without much trouble, and only a certain percentage of plants and animals will mutate into monsters and will not go completely extinct.
The problem was humans, the only intelligent and most complex life forms on Earth.
‘Is that the time when the best results are achieved for half of humans?’
I relaxed my tight grip, massaged my eyes, and let out a small sigh.
Although my body was already well above that of an ordinary human, I felt like I was getting tired for some reason.
‘why? Why on earth would you do something like that? Why when you already have that much power?’
I could understand it if another awakened person said that.
It was a story that had nothing to do with me as I was still straddling multiple dimensions, but it was not uncommon for people who returned to Earth to feel a sense of loss at their suddenly stagnant growth.
There were quite a few people who regretted returning to Earth, so it was not strange that they wanted to go back to the way things were before, even if it meant changing this world.
‘But Beoncheonhoeju doesn’t need to do that. The power he possesses is already at the level of full godhood, and he can even cross dimensions at will.’
When it comes to power, the more ruled people, the better.
There are degrees of a reign of terror, no matter how you think about it, pushing ahead with a plan that would lead to the annihilation of billions of people was incomprehensible.
Then it means that there is something more than simply ruling this world…
‘Is that why you want to become the god of Earth?’
At that time, the words the Black Dragon Master said suddenly passed through my mind.
-“Hoeju is already completely crazy. He firmly believes that only he is justice and that this method is the best. “He will do anything to achieve his goals.”
That was no different from the way of thinking of a fanatic.
Even if billions of innocent victims arise in the process, he will not care.
Because I firmly believe that it is truly the right path.
“···Well, okay. “No matter what his intentions, I can’t just sit still like this.”
No matter what the Beoncheonhoeju thinks or does, what I will do will not change.
To kill the culprit who caused the death of his family and completely destroy the Beoncheonhoe.
After thinking about it for a while, I opened the Karma store and checked the bottom.
『Karma Share (6%)』
The figure is 1% higher than when I first saw it.
As the amount of karma in possession exceeded 20 million and there was no significant consumption since obtaining the “Karma Store Ver.3 Update,” the number of bullets continued to increase.
Even while various things were happening on Earth, harvests continued steadily in the gardens of this world.
‘It’s market share.’
It didn’t occur to me that that number simply meant the amount of karma points.
Especially since it was right after I heard from the Black Dragon Master what the Buncheonhoeju was aiming for.
‘There’s no way you can do such an incredible thing simply because you have the power.’
Even if that wasn’t the case, wasn’t he already bound by all sorts of restrictions?
Apart from collecting the necessary karma and divinity by destroying other dimensions, it was reasonable to believe that appropriate conditions had to be met in order to carry out work on Earth.
“I guess that’s what this market share is.”
Then, it was as if what he was going to do had already been decided.
To increase market share as much as possible.
By securing a stake in that way, I was opposing his plan as one of Earth’s shareholders.
‘No matter how many worlds he destroys, he will be unable to do anything on this Earth.’
No, that alone is not enough.
Isn’t this just my guess?
There was a need to respond more proactively rather than just using defensive measures.
Yes, for example—.
‘Cases like Kang Hwan-gye are probably not the only ones, right? The world is on the verge of destruction because of this guy’s straw.’
It must be for this plan that he travels to other dimensions and destroys the world.
In that case, interfering with it was also something that could not be left out.
Of course, since the number of dimensions known so far is more than one or two, it may be more efficient to focus on one thing rather than wandering aimlessly…
“It has nothing to do with me.”
Because his body was not one.
If anything needed to be done, all you had to do was proceed at the same time.
‘Still… in order to proceed smoothly, there may be a need to organize some of the backlogged work.’
I quietly closed my eyes and focused on the avatars moving around.
***
The Black Dragon Master sat on a park bench and quietly looked up at the sky.
Sunny weather with white puffy clouds floating in the clear blue sky.
“hello! grandfather!”
At that time, a child passing by smiled brightly and said hello to him.
He looked at the child and smiled kindly.
This is a park created in a wealthy area where schools for different age groups are concentrated.
As the well-to-do houses were clustered together, the security was good and the faces of people passing by were full of relaxation.
Of course, that did not mean that the children were so naive as to greet a grandfather they did not know without hesitation.
The fact that the child greeted the Black Dragon Master without hesitation earlier showed that he was used to it.
He didn’t come here every day as he had work to do, but it had been more than a dozen years since he had been here watching the children passing by.
“hey! “It’s been a while since I went to a karaoke bar…”
“Rather than that, at my house today…”
“Then go buy something on the way…”
Then, suddenly, a group of male students crossed the park.
Students in their mid to late teens wearing clean school uniforms and chatting energetically.
The Black Dragon Master’s gaze turned to a child among them.
“ah! Hello, grandfather.”
“Oh, you came today. hello~!”
When our eyes met, the children also said hello one by one.
Of course, that was it.
No matter how familiar you were with it because you’ve seen it since you were young, it was hard to expect any more response from your grandfather, who was a stranger to you.
But that was enough for him.
As the children moved away, the Black Dragon Lord gently closed his eyes and raised his head to the sky.
Is it because I recently met and talked to the clan’s owner, Phantom?
Suddenly, the past came rushing back like a reflux.
This was the opportunity for him to step down from his position as branch leader of Beoncheonhoe.
The day I betrayed Hoeju, who had generously supported me in overcoming the walls of the police.
“ha.”
He was sent to another world, leaving behind his newly married wife, but fortunately he was able to return alive and well.
What was even more fortunate was that even though it was a time when transfers to other worlds were not known, his wife waited until the end for him, who had been missing for more than a year.
However, the joy of safely returning to Earth was short-lived.
He realized one thing and couldn’t help but fall into despair.
As he was an early returner, he did not know at the time that all growth would be halted if he returned to Earth.
Because of the support of the Beoncheonhoe, there was no problem in leading a prosperous life, but none of that was important to him.
He was at the end of his life and became more and more obsessed with strength as each day passed.
He regretted returning to Earth, leaving behind his wife who had waited for him, and only thought about how he could overcome the wall.
Perhaps thanks to that pathological obsession, he was finally able to overcome the wall of the police after a long period of adversity and hardship.
With the privilege of “Reverse Heaven” obtained as the first feat of transcending transcendence on Earth.
I had to lose my youth in return, but considering what I gained, I could bear that.
However, it is also true that I feel reluctant to show my wife this appearance.
After meeting just before crossing the wall, he stopped visiting his wife.
Leaving just enough money to live luxuriously.
And he continued his activities more actively as a military officer and as the head of the East Asia branch of Beoncheonhoe.
One day, several months later.
That moment came suddenly.
It was a clear and sunny day then as it is now.
But he didn’t even have time to look up at the sky and ran only looking ahead.
Not only did the roads become a mess in the aftermath, but they couldn’t care less about the fact that there were even casualties.
And at the hospital we arrived at.
I was able to face the aged Black Dragon Master for the first time.
The murderer who killed his wife.
The wrinkled-skinned enemy frowned.
As if laughing at himself, the corners of his mouth that resembled hers twitched.
But even after seeing that, he couldn’t possibly hate the other person.
The real mistake was that he left his wife alone.
-“Are you the mother’s guardian? We did our best, but you came in a very weak state…”
-“Fortunately, the child has no major problems. “I’ll have to watch carefully for a while, but…”
He carefully embraced his enemy.
A small creature writhing in one’s arms.
It was the only trace she and she left in this world as an orphan.
And thanks to 「Reverse Cheonja」, he was able to get a glimpse of part of the heavenly spirit and was able to intuitively realize it.
In the world that Hoeju dreams of, there will be no place for this child.
As soon as he felt it, he disappeared with the child without any hesitation.
“Yeokcheonja,” who twisted the providence of the world, was a great help in hiding his existence and deceiving the child’s identity so that he could be adopted into a family with a kind-hearted couple.
And as an anonymous benefactor, he gifted a house to a wealthy village and watched the child grow up from afar.
I couldn’t even go there in person for fear of being chased, so I just sat in this park waiting for a chance encounter.

‘Huh, waiting this long is nothing.’
The Black Dragon Master slowly stood up.
And then he walked away, leaving behind his enemy whom he had not seen in a long time.
To fulfill the mission left to him, to protect her traces from disappearing again.
