After a night where many things happened.
Morning dawned in a small city in the southern tip of Thailand that had suffered from a sudden commotion.
It was only a few hours ago that an incident occurred that may have caused the entire city to disappear.
However, as long as they survived and did not die, they had to somehow return to their daily lives in order to maintain their future lives, so the city’s citizens were busy as usual, as if there had been a disturbance.
“Of course. “Oh, I thought I was dreaming?”
Of course, not everything was the same as usual.
The chaotic atmosphere of the people gathered in small groups and whispering and the fatigue on their faces from not being able to sleep well clearly revealed how much they cared about the previous day’s events.
Such reactions did not stop only from those living in the area.
As the times were changing, videos vividly recording the situation at the time poured in on the Internet, attracting public attention.
Illegal terrorist attacks happen all the time, but there have not been many incidents of this scale and with such grandeur.
Isn’t the enormous explosion that explodes one after another high in the sky and the mysterious being that travels through the sky like a beam of light and intercepts each one one by one a subject that everyone can’t help but be interested in?
-It’s no joke to be intimidated even when watching the video. Every time an explosion occurs, the surrounding space becomes distorted?
?It’s true;; If it all fell on the city… But why did this suddenly happen? What’s in that backward town?
-Is that an angel? It was taken from too far away so it’s hard to see.
?There is a close-up photo taken at high magnification. An angel with three pairs of wings and wearing armor.
-The armor looks somewhat familiar… Isn’t that a saint from another world named Heinrich?
?Huh? Is it ???
Among them, there were quite a few who deduced that the angel’s identity was Heinrich, but they had no intention of hiding it as they were planning to take advantage of this incident.
Of course, not many people knew why this happened, how it progressed, and how it ended.
“Then let me formally greet you. My name is Freyr, leader of the Blazing Torch. Thank you again to Masquerade for their help.”
Excluding the parties to the case gathered here now.
Fuhrer Frey, who had been unconscious throughout the battle, politely bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
Towards Heinrich, who was sitting across from him as the representative of the Masquerade, and to Ken, who was there due to his connection with the Burning Torch from the beginning.
Heinrich smiled softly and greeted her.
“I just did what I had to do. “Buncheonhoe is not a problem of just a few people, but an enemy of humanity that we must all deal with together.”
And after saying that it was not only Earthlings who were included in ‘humanity’, he looked at Frey with strange eyes.
“By the way, are you feeling okay? “It looks like your body was taken away by that Mimic for quite some time.”
“Oh, it’s improved a lot. This is all thanks to Heinrich. Actually, I was lucky. “Thanks to my unique skills, I was able to survive without being completely absorbed.”
She smiled bitterly and clasped her hands.
For someone who had been pretending to be a man with a beard to show his dignity as the President, her gestures were as feminine as any other young lady’s.
“I didn’t know that my unique skill, which I thought was all about changing appearance, would have such an additional effect.”
“I guess you haven’t invested much in unique skills?”
“…I heard you are from another world, and you seem to be quite knowledgeable. This is a case where I overcame a wall by training ether rather than unique skills. Well, it was quite helpful to create a perfect body suitable for training and to avoid being caught up in gender disputes.”
As they had just achieved victory over a common enemy, the conversation between the two sides proceeded smoothly.
Ken, who was glancing at Heinrich in an uncomfortable manner, and An, who was looking at Frey with worried eyes, began to say a few words, and the atmosphere became more friendly.
Until Ken blurted out a word of regret.
“Anyway, it’s a shame I lost that executioner. “Such a dangerous enemy should have been dealt with reliably when the opportunity arose.”
As soon as those words were finished, Frey and Ahn’s complexions darkened noticeably.
It had to be that way.
Not only Frey, who was captured while confronting him directly, but also Anda, who had seen the battle from afar, knew well the fear of the enemy.
It was as obvious as seeing fire where he would aim first when he came back, so I couldn’t help but worry in many ways.
In fact, isn’t it almost impossible to stop him with just the power of a blazing torch?
“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”
But their worries did not last long.
“The executioner has definitely been finished by us, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”
The next words that Heinrich said casually swept away all concerns.
“…Huh? Is that true?”
“When on earth…?”
Everyone, including Ahn, who realized the absence of the phantom, was surprised by those words.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I never expected that I would be able to organize it so quickly.
Frey and Ken, who had even fought the executioner themselves, had similar thoughts.
‘So you’re saying that the Masquerade wasn’t the only force that came here? Where on earth were these people and what were they doing all this time….’
Frey, who was looking at Heinrich with deeply sunken eyes, sighed.
A secret organization that even saints and angels from the other world belong to.
Several years have passed since she realized the threat of the Buncheonhoe and began her activities, but she never even dreamed that such a force existed.
‘…Still, there is no doubt that they are hostile to the Beoncheonhoe right now, so I have no choice but to believe it for now.’
We should avoid completely trusting these suspicious people, but there was no other alternative right now.
I have no choice but to walk in the place with the highest potential for the sake of those who have believed in me and followed me.
After making up her mind, she slowly nodded, looking into the eyes of the person sitting next to her.
Heinrich, who was quietly watching the crowd’s reactions, had a confident smile on his face.
‘You clearly demonstrated your power. It doesn’t make sense for those three to step forward and miss it.’
As it happens, the Dark Side of Avatar is dispatched to Earth, and the ‘Masquerade gathers!’ It ended up looking the same… but this wasn’t too bad.
Because I went all in, I gained quite a bit.
For the great cause of destroying Beoncheonhoe.
In terms of the emergency of the secret society Masquerade.
***
“Whoa, good. “With this, it can be said that the entire purpose of dispatching to Southeast Asia has been achieved.”
Building a relationship with Blazing Torch was completed smoothly.
It was still close to an alliance between two independent forces, but for now, this was enough.
The damage suffered by the organization was so great that they had no choice but to rely on this side for survival.
Therefore, as time goes by, a superior-subordinate relationship will naturally be established, and it will become established as a lower-ranking power without having to do anything else.
‘The Southeast Asian branch of the Buncheonhoe… well, it was as if it had already been organized when all its leaders were captured.’
The task of destroying their souls should be left to Hans, who happened to be dispatched to the area.
In the process, you will be able to obtain information about the branches to which other transcendentalists belong, so it is as if you have already far exceeded your intended goal.
‘The avatars who came to Earth can be gradually sent back one by one.’
Sitting on the massage chair as usual, I gently closed my eyes and glanced at the avatars remaining on Earth.
The first avatar sent back was the high elf Harris.
The helmet, as well as the entire clothing, were magic tools with effects including air purification, but that was barely enough to suppress the frustration that arose from feeling the surrounding nature itself.
‘I can endure it if I want to, but… there’s no need to go that far.’
Harris, who was assimilated into nature and relaxed about everything, was like a kind of mental stabilizer to me.
Avatars not only relieve the stress that inevitably builds up while operating multiple avatars, but also contribute to a good night’s sleep.
Since it was in an environment where beautiful music could be heard continuously from all directions, it was a helpful entity just to hang out there.
‘Let’s see, then what’s next—.’
Hesperon, who was first summoned to Earth, was still hard at work.
Not only the supercomputers inside the complex data center, but also Titan and “Machine Eye: Callicas” were mobilized to create public opinion that further heightened the sense of crisis regarding the Buncheonhoe in relation to this incident.
‘But… this isn’t that easy either. ‘There was a reason that had not been revealed beneath the surface all this time.’
Even though it was linked to an incident that was becoming a hot topic, it did not have as big of an effect as expected.
In fact, if one wants to conquer the world on modern Earth, this level of information warfare would be the most basic of all.
It wouldn’t have been that difficult since we had a doctor who was at the top of the technology field.
“I’ve been looking into them since there was no information about them on the Internet… but they are very thorough.”
Maybe there is a modified artificial intelligence like this one.
Just in case, I felt like I needed to pay more attention to the security of the data center that Hesperon uses.
Don’t let your guard down and get tracked down.
‘Heinrich has been focusing on external affairs. Then, the remaining guys are…’
Harley, a neutral mercenary who goes back and forth between light and darkness.
And it was Hans, Heinz II, and Hella who could definitely be said to be on the dark side.
***
A space where all kinds of negative energy swirls.
“Hmm, this is the end of what I can do.”
Heinz, a member of the Dark Side who helped capture the executioner, slowly stood up, wiping his mouth.
[————!]
Then, I left the space where thoughts of unknown meaning echoed and took a step outside the completely isolated world.
Unlike the other two avatars, there was no room for intervention other than the blood-related part, so the task was completed quickly.
[Hehehe! Does this mean that name and form are divine beings? It lasts longer than I thought. Okay, very good!]
“Hehe~ If I pull this off well, I think I could use it, right? This is no different from a vampire. “Even if the dimensions are different, there is a common denominator.”
The excited voices of avatars can be heard from behind.
Heinz came out of the artificially created space and took a deep breath.
‘As expected, the air over there is not suitable.’
It would have been nice if other creatures could have been included in “Dragon Lair.”
Unlike the two he was more familiar with, Magi only preferred blood, so I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
Still, since the work of absorbing and analyzing the power contained in the executioner’s blood has been completed, there will be no need to go there again in the future.
‘I made quite a bit of income in the process.’
Did you say he was the great devil of eternity?
Even though the devil’s blood was not very helpful to the vampire, the causal effect of sucking a vampire of that level was of great help to the growth of the divine blood.
‘Of course, it can’t compare to the other two.’
Hela is trying to swallow up all the karma she has accumulated as a ‘demon lord’, and Hans is planning to pickle her spirit and body into the abyss and turn her into a puppet.
Compared to him, Heinz, who possessed only a little of the power and humanity contained in his blood, could be said to be a nobleman.
Instead, he sucked blood from other captured transcendental people to the point where they did not die.
After completing his immediate task, he immediately moved to ‘his area’.
A place protected under his name, located in Seoul, Korea.
“Ah, it’s been a while since you’ve been here, Lord!”
“hmm.”
Heinz, who had just entered the office, nodded at Jin So-ran’s greeting.
This place is like the center of the clan.
It was the Heterosis building where Jin So-ran, who led the organization on behalf of Lord Heinz, worked.
‘Now we can’t even see the aspect of being a shadowy organization.’
Heinz slowly looked around and nodded.
The scenery here, which occupies an entire small building, was not much different from that of other companies.
Except for the fact that the curtains are drawn during the day so it’s dark overall, and most of the employees work at night.
“Still, I was checking the reports every time. “It seems like there’s still a lot of work to do.”
“Well, things have improved a lot these days. “When Howard Industries was launched in earnest, I thought it was going to die like this… but it was definitely different after hiring a professional manager.”
She sighed and shook her head as if she was breaking into a cold sweat just thinking about that time.
“Okay, you don’t have to do everything. All the captain has to do is make sure the crew is doing their jobs properly. “There are many experts in the world who only focus on one field and many talented people.”
“…What the Lord said is really persuasive.”
Jin So-ran, one of the sailors who were being split apart, looked at Heinz with an expression of uncertainty.
And I made a firm promise once again.
Following that example, he said he would somehow attract competent subordinates and pass on the burdensome tasks.
“I don’t think there’s a big problem right now. “Is there anything unusual?”
“Special note… Ah! “The project I reported on last time! We are finally ready to implement it.”
“project?”
What else was there?
When Heinz was stroking his chin, looking back on past memories.
Jin So-ran, who was smiling brightly in front of him, continued speaking with sparkling eyes.
“A project to improve awareness of vampires.”
Then a memory flashed through his mind.
Although there was a feeling that it had become less so with the launch of Howard Industries, the perception overseas about the vampire clan, which had swallowed up the underworld not only in Korea but also in Europe, was not very good.
What’s so bad is that public opinion is openly criticizing Korea, its home country, and making headlines.
And the agenda to which full authority was delegated as a countermeasure was…
“Entering the entertainment industry!”
A case regarding the establishment of foreign policy due to the clan’s entry into the entertainment industry.
It was a project named —.
