…. ”

Looking at it, I laughed.

“True…”

Assassination….

Originally, as I climbed the tower, I had done several assassinations (?) with advanced techniques, so I could have called myself a master of assassination.

If that’s the case, it’s absurd to say that the challenge given within the dimensional cradle is assassination.

“Isn’t this really too easy?”

It’s a level that can be said to be close to an event where you just openly eat it raw.

‘This is…’

It’s not even that.

In fact, at the moment of entering the dimensional cradle, this side had to seal all the things obtained from the tower.

It was only because I activated the transcendence myth < Absolute Immutability > and forcibly broke the penalty that I was able to do my best.

‘It’s a huge gap.’

And that means only one thing.

At least in the dimension cradle < Dark World [E-01] >, no one can match my assassination ability.

Even if they were challengers from another dimension, they wouldn’t be able to maintain the original abilities they had acquired in the tower.

If so, this was a structure that had no choice but to win.

“….”

And that’s not all.

If I had to argue, one of the gaps would be that I couldn’t use the many equipment I got from the tower with the challenger’s authority.

Should I say it feels like using a cheat mode in the game?

Somehow, I felt sympathy for the otherworldly challengers who might have been matched as our enemies, and I expressed condolences to them, even if only slightly.

but for a while.

‘I have to do what I have to do first.’

Before I knew it, I realized that staying here wasn’t particularly advantageous, and I let go of my thoughts.

In fact, isn’t the challenge we received in the dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > to kill the emperor of a country?

You don’t have to spend time in the same spot to make it easier to track this side.

Even if that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t hurt to know where the challengers from Earth are gathered or where the target of assassination, the Dark Emperor, is.

As it was, I lightly kicked the ground.

?Strongly activates the authority skill ‘Steel Wings’?

And.

“…”

I flew up to the cloud layer in the sky in an instant and frowned.

“What is this again?”

It was worth it.

The view of the interior of the dark world from the sky was similar to that of the Pandemonium, which was all plastered in dull colors.

The only difference is that the concentration of demonic energy that spreads in this dark world belongs to a very light axis unlike the demon realm.

Only then did I raise my physical senses and unleash a wave of magical energy without anyone noticing.

‘It’s really a world like the Demon World.’

I felt the magic scattered all over the world.

Perhaps, similar to the Demon World, Magi seems to be the basis of the planet…

Then, it was clear that even the assassination target, the Dark Emperor somewhere in this dark world, would depend heavily on Magi.

‘It’s fun.’

It certainly wasn’t bad.

Originally, since I was a mortal, I had obtained and possessed many skills or myths that could definitely counter the opponent’s demonic energy.

No matter what that other side does, as long as I have the absolute ability to resist Magi, I will not be defeated.

‘There’s no need to waste time.’

At this point, it can be said that there is no danger in the dark world.

I then spread the waves of magic farther and tuned my senses to find out more information.

Beyond finding out things such as creatures or terrain, I felt where the demonic energy mixed with the flow of air flowed.

“…”

and then.

‘There’s nothing more to know.’

Before I knew it, I had a perfect understanding of the dark world.

It seems that there is a dark emperor over there, seeing that there is a large concentration of demons in a place that looks

like an imperial palace in the dark world. was in

I smiled at him.

“They said it was an advance team…”

Come to think of it, there was something like that among the briefings I heard on the warship before entering the dimensional cradle.

At least I needed to know what the dimensional cradle was, so I sent 10 challengers who could be carefully selected from Earth in advance.

And since there are challengers who went to the advance party, this side can join the advance party and carry out the operation.

It didn’t seem wrong at all.

‘It doesn’t seem like the challengers who went to the starting lineup achieved much.’

It’s just a pity that I still haven’t been able to complete this easy challenge given by the Dimensional Cradle.

‘…Well, not all challengers from Earth came here without penalty like me.’

Of course it was understandable.

Although this side avoided the penalty of the dimension cradle based on the ability of the transcendental myth < Absolute Unchanging >, there was no way that challengers from Earth could imitate it.

That’s why I shook off my thoughts that weren’t particularly productive, and converted my internal mana into demonic energy and developed black magic.

[Whirling vortex]

The next moment.

Chak-.

In an instant, I jumped through space and landed in a forest stained with black light.

At a glance, none of these places are special, but

to my eyes, as an ancient deity, everything is clearly visible.

It must have been a place like some kind of exploration base where challengers from Earth gathered.

“I am Sungyoon Han, a challenger from Earth.”

Actually, nothing was different.

“Please let me in.”

After I said that, some time passed.

Are some of the skills that are like security devices hung all over the forest unlocked?

As it was, the space in the forest split open, and a white man walked out from there with a nervous expression.

“…Seongyoon Han. Identification has been confirmed. Originally, we were going to visit you, but we are glad you came in person.”

“Is that so.”

“…yes. I would appreciate it if you would kindly understand. Then, I will guide you to the temporary base.”

“thank you.”

And just like that, I followed the white man and looked inside the base.

Still, is it the result of gathering only the elite of the challengers from Earth?

In fact, compared to Earth’s facilities, this place was equipped with modern facilities at a level where it could be said that nothing was compromised.

“…”

But.

‘…So absurd.’

I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him.

‘…The fact that the equipment level of the base is this high means that they intend to stay here more.’

It was worth it.

If the challenges of the dimensional cradle < Dark World [E-01] > were easy to think about, there was no way that the other side would be able to raise the facilities of the base so leisurely like that.

It seems that the assassination of the dark emperor somewhere in the dark world is viewed from a long-term perspective…

Isn’t that a strategy that doesn’t work well with this side?

‘Did I really need to drag this long on this easy challenge?’

As a result, I noticed that the presence of the base was concentrated in one place, and turned my gaze to the white man.

“….”

For some reason, that white man had been glancing at me like a celebrity with a nervous face.

It seemed strange to see this side of me in real life, probably because something was known about me on Earth.

And that’s not enough, I think I’d like to have a little conversation with you, even if it’s just a few words…

There’s no time for that kind of thing.

“I have a question for you.”

“This is my Jason. Just feel free to call me. You can ask any questions.”

“…I know what. Then can you tell us where the other challengers are?”

When I asked him that question, Jason paused for a moment before replying.

“I am in the conference room. As you know since you’ve seen the Challenges of the Dimensional Cradle, there’s something we need to prepare to assassinate the Dark Emperor, so there’s a meeting going on about it…

”

“…?”

“It’s done.”

As it was, I looked at Jason’s eyes expressionlessly and pursed my lips.

“In that case, please guide me to the meeting room at the base.”

I’m guessing…

“Because that makes me feel like I can do what I need to do.”

Perhaps they needed in-depth instruction on this side’s assassination technique.

***

Base conference room.

“…Im here.”

In fact, it looked more like a small building of sorts than a meeting room for a small base.

“…You should already know that Han Seong-yoon is coming, so there won’t be much talk once you enter the meeting room. Then I’ll just go. It was an honor to meet you.”

I didn’t like it very much.

“All right.”

To put it bluntly, it’s also because I’m planning to beat the challenge of the dimensional cradle late, so even the meeting room will be equipped with the size of a small building.

“…”

and then.

The moment I opened the door to the conference room inside the small building.

I was able to put in my field of vision the familiar figures surrounding the large round table in front of me.

‘Should I say it as expected after seeing this…’

It’s not even that.

‘Most of them are familiar faces.’

Still, is it because he built a relationship with challengers or hunters from Earth?

Before I knew it, I noticed that I could recognize almost everyone in this conference room.

Such were the people like Sachio Michimoto, whom he faced during the unification ordeal on the 13th floor while climbing the Tower of Ordeal, or Chen Shaoling, whom he met on Earth in an incident related to the Celestial Bridge.

In addition, there were also challengers in the conference room with whom I had some acquaintances, such as Catherine Bennett and Kim Seung-hoon.

‘The meeting doesn’t seem to be going well.’

but for a while.

“So you sneaked into the Dark Emperor’s stronghold to gather information?”

“…You are out of your mind. Michael. You must know what kind of demonic realm it is.”

“…what. I will understand though. It’s not just one person’s life at stake, it’s a matter of the survival of the planet. But don’t cross the line.”

Could it be that they dispatched a challenger to the place where the Dark Emperor was to collect information?

The challengers in the conference room were almost angry at a black man sitting in the seat of honor.

Without even noticing that I entered the conference room.

In response, a black man sitting at the head of the conference room, called Michael, frowned and sighed as if it were natural.

“There is no reversal of decisions.”

Michael continued in a cold tone.

“I thought it would be best to send challengers to the center of the dark world to collect information.”

It evokes contemptuous eyes as if looking at the lower class people who are only oblivious.

“…under. goofy Then the challengers die. And those are only 30 challengers who can no longer be replenished.”

Chen Xiaoling snarled at him, and Catherine Bennett, Michimoto Sachio, and Kim Seung-hun agreed with that opinion.

“…This time Chen Shaoling is right. Compared to the number of challengers that can enter the Dimensional Cradle, this intel-gathering operation is far too daring. There is no solution.”

“okay. Since the existence of the earth is at stake, you can be sensitive. However, it makes no sense to sacrifice challengers thoughtlessly with this.”

“Michael. Your argument is more like a lunatic’s bullshit. … I’ve also mastered stealth, but I think I’ll be killed by a dog while gathering information in that demonic realm.”

Michael replied with a twisted smile.

“Yeah… dog death? I don’t think it’s such a big deal to spend time and send useless challengers to gather information when the fate of the Earth is at stake. It’s pitiful.”

Michael said with a hostile look in his eyes.

“It’s just sad that I have to shoulder the fate of the world with you guys.”

and.

“Do you think the challenger Han Seong-yoon, who has come here, will think the same as you about the fate of the earth?”

That was the moment.

“Is it too much to entrust the task of collecting information to ten useless challengers?”

Suddenly, Michael turned his head around while sitting in the seat of honor, and immediately looked this way and smiled.

“well. Perhaps the challenger for the world ranking has the same thoughts as me. yes?”

To put it bluntly, it seemed like a kind of political quality within the team.

‘What….’

But did the team become too immersed in the work of politicizing themselves?

It also uses the effect of a kind of skill to apply invisible and invisible pressure.

It was absurd to look at this side that had just arrived at the meeting room and send that kind of look without explaining the situation.

And…

‘What is that doing now?’

That means one thing.

“…Did you say Michael?”

“ah! That’s right. Mr. Seongyun Haha, you might have been embarrassed because I asked for your opinion without explaining the situation. Well, as you know since you heard what we said after entering the conference room, we…”

“I’m not curious. After all, at most, it would have been a scramble over whether or not to let the challengers risk their lives to collect information in the presence of the Dark Emperor.”

“oh! you’re right. Those challengers are really selfish and don’t know the seriousness of this situation and are trying to take their own lives, but I think Seong-yoon will have a different opinion…” “That’s enough

.”

Nothing else…

“I have a question for you, Michael.”

“…Yes? What on earth do you have to ask—.”

“Do you want to be killed by me right now?”

“?”

Doesn’t that mean the same as a rabbit opening its eyes in front of a beast and challenging it to a fight?

“This question is purely out of curiosity, so you can turn off the skill effect and answer.”

At that, I smiled, exuding the same gaze as that of an intrigued predator.
