Episode 402
After Yongyong left, I was left alone and had time to think alone for the first time in a while.
Although he pretended not to, I knew that Yongyong knew that I could hide what I was thinking and that he was working hard to read it.
No matter how close humans and divine beasts become, there are bound to be differences and incomprehensibility that come from species differences.
In particular, Yongyong was anxious about dealing with Shinsoo.
“Does it seem like you think of Shinsu as your enemy?”
Looking at it another way, it wasn’t a wrong idea.
Shinsu considers himself noble and treats those who are not of his own race as lower-class creatures.
That can be seen as natural, but the problem arises in the way they accept my existence, which can threaten them.
Yongyong and Hyuna tried to attract me as an ally by treating me as an equal, but the other gods were not convinced of my existence and tried to destroy me.
I believe that such attempts will continue in the future.
I must become stronger here.
Even if it appears to be hostile to Shinsu, it has no intention of stopping.
I think Yongyong and Hyuna should understand this part.
Definitely.
“What if you don’t understand?”
Because of that thought, we were able to move forward strongly.
My biggest enemy right now was Shinsoo.
“by the way.”
I smiled, remembering what I saw in the Hermit Sage’s lab.
I never thought what Yoonhee said was true.
“It was all just a matter of bad luck.”
In my last life, I was a truly insignificant person before I gained blood feeding. As such people were given opportunities and gained power, they thought of themselves as special.
But in reality, it was nothing more than a power given by the whim of the Divine Beast.
Yes, there really was no reason.
I was just fortunate enough to be given the opportunity by meeting the conditions set by the hermit sage.
“It would be funny to try to give it meaning in the first place.”
No matter how hard I tried to ignore it, the truth had already been revealed. The blood feeding I obtained was a product created by the divine beast, and it was given to me and based on my personality, the blood species was born. Then, he dug into the gap between me, who was drunk on power, and took over my body and committed a senseless massacre.
There is nothing to add or take away from this.
It’s just disappointing that that’s all the truth I wanted to know.
Rather, it is more shocking that Heungjong’s ego was born based on my ego.
“Couldn’t he be a hermit sage?”
I thought about the case of instant fraud, but no matter how much I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that it couldn’t happen.
It would have been a relief to my heart if I had at least gotten my revenge.
If I thought about it more, I felt like I would come to the conclusion that I was abnormal, so I changed direction.
“The problem is God.”
What stands before me is a self-proclaimed god.
This guy, who mercilessly abandons his colleagues and commits anything for his own purposes, came closer to me without me knowing.
Although there are no direct conflicting elements, it is felt instinctively.
The greed of the self-proclaimed god will not stop here and will move to have what I have. All that remains ahead is a collision.
“We should get rid of it.”
In fact, it was a problem that did not need to be considered for a long time.

After returning to Seoul, I headed to the Blue House at the request of Cheon Myeong-guk.
This time, I succeeded in eluding the reporters and went inside with the guidance of Jeong Da-hyun.
“They say there is a big problem happening in America right now.”
“Why America?”
Is it because of something I did? After hearing from Herbert that it wouldn’t be a problem. Personally, I think it was handled well without causing any major noise.
Then it must be something else.
“They say the real God has appeared.”
“Really God?”
“Yes God.”
My steps stopped at the appearance of a name I couldn’t pass up.
Jeong Da-hyeon, who was walking side by side, also stopped and looked at me with a puzzled look.
“What’s wrong?”
“Tell me more about that god.”
“The President will explain. “I’ll tell you a simple story first.”
Meanwhile, the story Dahyun Jeong told was simple.
It is said that religion infiltrated Europe by taking advantage of the confusion caused by the recent power struggle in the United States and the mass heart attack incident among senators and representatives.
Since it was a form of existing religion with a few natural doctrines added, it was accepted without resistance, but the point where the problem arose was the ‘miracle’ that occurred in that religion.
As people heard the gospel of God directly, the influence of religion expanded like a fire and reached a level that threatened the existing order in the United States.
I thought it was just a fad, but what I received was different.
“The problem is that the state’s control is collapsing as religion takes precedence.”
“You mean it’s a bit more strengthened than the existing religion?”
“Because there is an entity called God.”
“So I follow God’s words.”
“That’s right.”
Do you not follow the country’s rule of law and act freely according to your religious beliefs? It was true that it was an emergency issue.
“The reality is that the divine beast takes over the church and calls itself a god.”
Cheon Myeong-guk assured me that.
Since it was accurate information, I nodded in agreement.
“you’re right.”
“As expected, you knew.”
I just shrugged my shoulders at the strange nuance.
Cheon Myeong-guk didn’t ask any more questions and got straight to the point.
“What do you think the purpose of that divine beast is?”
“To become a complete god.”
“Perfect God?”
“Shinsu is the closest thing to a god, but he is not a god.”
“I agree with that. Each divine beast has a different personality and many accidents have occurred accordingly. But they are also living creatures and have limits. But what does it mean to try to become a god?…”
“I mean it literally. “He wants to dominate the world and be reborn as a more perfect being than he is now.”
“What kind of benefit is there in that?”
“well.”
There is no way for me to know that far. However, when looking at the actions of the self-proclaimed god so far, the purpose is clear.
He’s like a cunning villain with a clear purpose. Therefore, I think that we should look at it thoroughly from the villain’s perspective, without expecting the mistakes that divine beasts often make.
The difference is that it has a much stronger body and a longer lifespan and overwhelming strength.
In terms of villains, he’s close to perfection.
“What is clear is that he will not accept my presence.”
That’s the same for me too.
“….”
Cheon Myeong-guk took on a serious expression and muttered “God” several times.
“If the other party’s goal is the collapse of the national system and human domination, peaceful coexistence will be difficult.”
“Is there a better way?”
“doesn’t exist. The fact that Shinsoo calls himself a god is a sign that he sees humanity as something to ultimately dominate. “There will be no disagreement here.”
I agree with you about the impossibility of compromise.
However, just by mentioning coexistence, Cheon Myeong-guk meant that he was leaving open other possibilities.
I folded it up quickly though.
“And Sir Franz’s advice also played a part in this.”
“Has the old man contacted you?”
“He said that Superhuman suddenly summoned him and he cursed for over an hour.”
If you’re going to do something, do it to me. Don’t gossip about other people.
It is also a terrible inspiration.
“I’ll have to take proper care of it when it comes.”
“…Please bear with me. Not only is Sir Franz old, but there is no one in Europe with whom I can communicate better than him.”
“Come and talk and we will decide.”
“Yes, please.”
In addition, Cheon Myeong-guk explained the phenomenon currently occurring in Europe.
Since he originally had a close cooperation system with the saint, he also knew a lot about the self-proclaimed god. If you listen to what was conveyed there, it is said that much of God’s revelation is aimed at me.
“God may have been working on getting rid of the superhuman for a long time.”
“What you’re doing is kind of lame.”
“ha ha ha. “It is said to be a revelation from God, but only a superhuman can say that.”
Cheon Myeong-guk looked genuinely happy.
“When Sir Franz comes this time, you will need to get a lot of information. “If he has seen the self-proclaimed god in Europe for a long time, he can tell you in more detail than anyone else.”
“You could have already become a minion.”
“I’m praying that’s not the case.”
What would it be like? I couldn’t be sure about that part either.
While Franz led the European Union, he may have played according to the self-proclaimed plan of God, but on the other hand, he may have played a role of keeping things in check while hindering it.
But would the self-proclaimed god have been lenient on such opposition?
Both I and Cheon Myeong-guk were negative about that part.
It would be best to see it in person and talk about it.

Franz came to Korea a week after I contacted him.
In the meantime, I took care of the work first, handed it over to the people in charge of the work, and then arrived at Incheon Airport.
Incheon, which was originally a den of villains, disappeared after repeated sweeps, and the existing airport facilities were restored to allow numerous foreigners to enter and exit.
“This place is improving every day. “It reminds me of my old self.”
After moving comfortably from the airport to Seoul, Franz looked around with new emotions.
“Isn’t it Germany?”
“It’s not easy because we don’t have superhumans like you. “I still have to be nervous when dealing with plus-stage monsters, and I’m busy making plans for when the plus-plus stage appears.”
Not long ago, I heard that the European Union killed a two-horned monster that appeared in Lithuania.
It’s a huge improvement compared to the days when we had to suffer helplessly without even being able to touch Draculea.
“That’s a lot of improvement.”
“Not enough. “Monsters grow quickly, but not us.”
It felt like he was referring to me, but I guess there’s no reason to react.
Franz, who was looking at the improved view of Seoul with envious eyes, headed to the Blue House with me.
After having dinner with the President there, we had a normal conversation and then left the Blue House with me.
Franz, who had been smiling publicly until then, wiped his smile and got to the point.
“It must be because of God that you called me.”
“you’re right.”
“Since when? “I learned that the existence of God actually originated from the Divine Beast.”
“It’s from the time of hunting Draculea.”
“…way before me. At the time, I was only suspicious. Even if I figured it out, it was too late. So it ended up like this.”
I could sense something had happened in Franz’s bitter smile.
“What do you mean it’s late?”
“Everything.” “God’s will is already reaching all of Europe.”
The self-proclaimed god, borrowing the power of religion, created his own support force by performing miracles with saints at the head. It was enough to threaten Franz, who had maintained his strong position as a hero in Europe, and soon he completely surpassed it.
Perform miracles without expecting anything in return. There is no better way to captivate people than that.
It is said that by the time Franz felt that something was wrong, he had already reached the point of no return.
But that is ultimately a European problem.
I looked at Franz and asked.
“What about you, Sir?”
“me? “You mean me?”
“That’s right.”
Did Franz survive the wave of fanaticism?
“I am also a servant of God.”
