Chapter 660: Probability of Winning (2)

‘This isn’t good. Sh*t…’

For Kim Hyunsung, it was a situation where he could fight back, but the timing wasn’t good.

At this, I tapped my thighs with my fingers. I kept thinking about whether there was really another solution, but that didn’t increase the probability of Kim Hyunsung’s judgment.

As I always said, I didn’t like gambling numbers. I was the type to throw dice only when the probability was over 70%, and even then, I’d prefer to bet only after all the preparations had been completed.

In that sense, Hyunsung’s 10 percent probability was enough to shake my judgment that we should protect the continent. Of course, I’d have to see how true that was first…

‘No, you don’t have to pull your tail off from the beginning. The escape guideline has been in place anyway.’

I didn’t know how much I could increase the chances in 36 days… The battle wouldn’t end in a day, and there could be a means to increase the probability during the war.

‘Oh, Lee Jihye… I think she’s already thinking about making a run for it…’

Considering that she was also the type of person who hated throwing the dice randomly, it was highly likely that she was already gathering ten people to sign the list. I could bet everything I had that she was making a list in the bathroom right at that moment.

“How do we compare to their military strength?”

“No, that aside, they got here too fast. At this time of the year, we haven’t even figured out who they are.”

“How about military strength?”

“We’re ridiculously lacking. Of course, our level itself is being upgraded as we speak. For example, I would say we’re in a healthier situation. We have indeed discovered new talents like the Tamer Alps. The distribution is more stable than before as well, and Kiyoung’s potion is beneficial for first aid and survival. I can’t ignore the saying that humans are not at odds with each other in half, but I think it’s appropriate to say that there’s something more lacking than that.”

‘It’s not a memory correction, is it? It’s still too low. A 10% chance is a ridiculously low figure. You’re not Kim Hyunsung right now, are you? You have to be Doom Hyunsung.’

Kim Hyunsung could be mistaken. Compared to the warriors who fought desperately, it might’ve been true that they lacked, but they didn’t manage the continent to such an extent that it was undervalued. Perhaps he overlooked the fact that their collaborators were in the first round.

The masked trash terrorized mankind with vicious tactics and cruel behavior. Looking back on the way we had come from so far, it was highly likely that he had thrown various gifts to the pigeons.

His title was sage above the battlefield, and his job was a legionary wizard. In the first place, the masked trash was a guy who ran the battlefield like a playground, bluffing the surrounding talents rather than picking and pressing the other person with his ability. His absence didn’t reduce the outer god’s forces, but at least it was self-evident that their tactical options had been reduced. More than anything else, Lee Kiyoung, the talent of the second timeline, survived. That difference was bound to create huge effects.

Although I wasn’t bluffing myself, the existence of the tactical genius, Light Kiyoung, who pushed out the masked trash as a tactic, could further increase the probability of humanity’s victory by more than 1 percent.

“In the second round…”

“Yes, he’s not here… I’m not talking about tactics and strategies.”

“…”

“I’m talking about pure force.”

“…”

“Above all…”

“Yes?”

“The growth of the named ones is very slow.”

“You mean…?”

“Yes, to be exact, the biggest problem is that none of humanity’s names can deal with the Four Angels. I remember I’ve told you before…”

“Yes, I remember.”

Among the pigeons underneath him were the four pigeons with extraordinary powers, similar to the original Four Heavenly Kings.

A group of powerful beings that could be classified as a tactic in themselves… They were so difficult that even in the first round, where they struggled, it was all about fighting two of them at the expense of tremendous damage and loss. I could finally understand why Kim Hyunsung thought we only had a 10% chance…

‘Now I have a clue.’

It was a matter of strategy and tactics, dissemination, and conditions.

Wouldn’t it be simpler if I said that they had four Tactic Kim Hyunsungs? Suppose that as soon as the war began, Tactic Kim Hyunsung was deployed in four areas.

Even if the real Kim Hyunsung could block one area, the other three areas would inevitably be taken down. If I were a commander, I would’ve had no choice but to stare blankly at the battlefield.

Well, I would’ve judged there was nothing I could do. Tactic Kim Hyunsung thought it was irregular and a crack that couldn’t be prevented in the usual way.

Suppose I took elementary school students and fought with Park Deokgu. Would Park Deokgu be able to break through the elementary school students with a roar and a strategy? I thought it might’ve been too much of a comparison, but I couldn’t deny that it would be like throwing a sheep into a den of wolves.

‘It’s all useless crap.’

We needed to come up with something. If they had four nuclear weapons, we should also have the means to contain those missiles, or at least prevent them from being used.

“In the first timeline…”

“I marked one, and the Holy Sword user fought against another.”

‘That’s why we were able to kill two of them.’

Anger at Benignore rose. The warrior was torn apart by monsters because he couldn’t receive the Holy Sword in the tutorial dungeon. The gray warrior, made as a substitute for him, became a weakling and ended up as a wanderer.

There was a slight expectation that Raphael could be revived, but honestly, I didn’t think he could fight when I saw the condition of that bastard. The same went for the Holy Sword Warrior’s party. The hound Lee Juhyuk and the miracle priest, who had to deal with the second line under the Four Heavenly Kings, also maintained a lifeline that was barely about to be cut off without life support.

He supported the heroes of the first round physically, but honestly, it was hard to find a man like Lee Juhyuk.

‘The continent is over. Sh*t, it’s over…’

[Help the buds of Benignore mature. (0/1)]

[Reward: Four-leaf Clover Seeds of Hope given by the Goddess herself.]

‘Go away, please…’

[A rare-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[You can… You can do it, Lee Kiyoung. You’ve done a really great job so far. Rather than giving up now, I think it’s better to think positively. Why did we give strength to Lee Kiyoung? Of-of course, I don’t know how helpful it can be… (0/1)]

‘Alright, please stay quiet. Sh*t. I haven’t thrown anything away yet.’

“Then you said we have a 10 percent chance…”

“Yes, assuming I’ve played the right role, that’s the probability.”

“Then we can raise it a little bit.”

‘You know, right? You know that I know more about you than yourself. Tactic Kim Hyunsung, if you work for it, you’ll be able to double those numbers.’

“…”

‘But what’s wrong with his expression? You’re not trying to stop here, are you, Kim Hyunsung?’

For some reason, the atmosphere felt like that.

‘Wow, Sh*t… Kim Hyunsung, you bastard…’

He didn’t answer, but he didn’t seem to want to put pressure on me, given his vague expression. I thought it was because I didn’t put myself at a higher winning rate than I needed.

I was happy, but I felt uncomfortable. He decided to lead the war without overdoing Lee Kiyoung as much as possible. No wonder I felt abandoned. Of course, I knew it was a resolution for his side, but I didn’t feel good about it.

‘Yeah, sh*t, you’re going to the battlefield without the receiver, right? Feel free to go out, Hyunsung. You have telescopes and quests, so it doesn’t matter if you take the receiver or not. Let’s see if you don’t play sh*tty as Tactic Kim Hyunsung.’

If I forced to send a message to him, he would accept it.

He wouldn’t reject it if there were temptations. I could bet that he would still move under my orders despite having to bite his lips.

Considering that our efficiency was at least twice as high, the probability would increase from 10 percent to 20 percent. Assuming that the power of light was around 5 percent, it’s about 25 percent.

‘It’s still low.’

However, it was more hopeful than what Kim Hyunsung said. The question was, could they prevent our nuclear weapons?

“What if you could stop all four angels?”

“It’s going to be better than it is now. The probability will also increase exponentially, but…”

‘I know. There’s no one who can do that.’

“If it’s Jung Hayan, it may be possible.”

‘I can’t use Jung Hayan.’

“But I’m sure she has something else to do.”

Exactly. I couldn’t use Jung Hayan to deal with one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Considering that her role was to maintain a slightly lower balance and that she had something to do in the early stages of the battle, I couldn’t allow her to make that choice.

“And… even if Jung Hayan gets some time, it won’t be possible to stop one of them.”

“Certainly, Jung Hayan can be classified as a rearguard.”

“No, it’s not about the front and the rear. Jung Hayan has changed a lot from the first round. If we had a few more years, we could have grown into our previous form, but the current Jung Hayan… is indeed lacking a lot in multiple aspects.”

‘Was it that bad?’

I knew she was nowhere near her previous glory, but it was new hearing that information through Kim Hyunsung’s mouth.

“Of course, the offensive magic itself may be in favor of Jung Hayan in the first round. But in the first round, Jung Hayan didn’t use mass destruction magic very well. However, I believe there is an incomparable gap in terms of completeness as a wizard. Magic, application, characteristics, creativity, everything… has lagged behind. That’s why I set the possibility a little low.”

“But even now…”

“Jung Hayan moved the whole country in the first timeline.”

“What?”

“I guess it’ll be easier to get my point if I say that she’s changed the map of the continent.”

‘What…?’

“We’ve blocked most of the enemy’s long-range artillery magic, and sometimes we’ve reversed the war itself, and we’ve moved the sea to the continent, and we’ve turned ground warfare into sea warfare. As I told you before, without Hayan, that wouldn’t have been possible. To be clear, she was stronger than I was before.”

‘What?’

Changed the map of the continent?

‘Turned ground warfare into sea warfare?’

Wasn’t that enough to be considered a god?

[A rare-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[To be exact, it’s not something we can do either. We can’t get involved in that, so while there’s a lot we are allowed to do, and there’s also a lot restrained… We’ll have to violate the rules, which costs a lot of divinity, and most of all, it does more harm than good. A long time ago, when I was traveling the sea with a senior, I almost went bankrupt. (0/1)]

‘Just stay quiet. Please.’

I wondered if I had truly underestimated Jung Hayan of the first timeline.
