Chapter 462 – Power (3)
Slowly, very slowly, the energy that is constricting the heart is taken away.
“Kuhuhuh, huh, huh… !”
The guy is shaking his head violently, breathing heavily as the pain gradually subsides.
At the same time, there was a deep sense of fear in the eyes that looked up.
It was recognized.
The fact that I can completely take away the source of my current life.
If it were death, I might not have been so scared.
However, the miserable future of having to live without losing all of my foundations aroused fear.
… I know it well because I have felt it too.
“How does it feel to have your life completely taken away?”
“… Very dirty.”
This is the correct expression.
I feel dirty.
“It must have been the same for those who were brainwashed by you and had their lives taken away from them.”
“…”
Myungho Yoon turns his head with his mouth tightly closed.
What…, Just because you know how it feels, this kind of person won’t change his mind.
If he were a person who could be rewritten to this extent, he wouldn’t have gone as far as becoming an S-class villain.
But still, shouldn’t someone tell us?
You should live your life knowing at least how much shit you have been throwing around to others.
Only then will I be able to live the rest of my life in pain.
“Keep your promise. No, you will have to keep it. “If you don’t want to lose what little hope you have.”
The guy who was chewing his lips at my words opens his mouth with difficulty.
“… “Please just ask me one thing.”
“Tell me.”
When I answered willingly, as if being kind, the guy closed his eyes tightly and continued speaking.
“P-just let me avoid the Prison Belt… “Oh, I guess there isn’t one.”
“Hmm.”
Look at this.
People must realize that where they are currently standing is not the lowest.
It’s not that difficult to avoid going to the prison belt.
Even before I came here, I had already talked to my superiors about using it as a bargaining chip.
Then suddenly a good idea occurred to me.
“Good. “I will do my best for that.”
“… Thank you.”
“Well, to this extent.”
Prisons, especially the special types of prisons that imprison awakened people, cannot be said to be good to live in, even with empty words.
However, compared to the Prison Belt, it is no exaggeration to say that Korea’s prisons are heaven.
Unlike places where they don’t even treat you like a human being, at least the prisons in this country take care of human rights for criminals as well.
That’s what a good idea is.
Around the time I was starting to adapt to life in a Korean prison, which was good in its own way.
If you suddenly hear the news that you have been transferred to the Prison Belt.
What kind of expression will he make at that time?
I hope it will be an opportunity to regret a little bit about my past life as a villain.
Hiding his true feelings, he puts on a friendly smile on his face, puts his arm around his shoulder, and opens his mouth in a friendly manner.
“Shall we go and get rid of the brainwashing first?”
“… “Before that, I want to write a pledge.”
“…”
I’m afraid someone might be a villain, so I don’t really trust people.
.

.
.
A temporary camp where those who have been brainwashed into being faithful followers of Gwangmyeong Church are gathered.
There are still many people crying out for the religious leader.
“The leader, the leader…, Cough!”
“Free the cult leader, you vicious…” !”
I screamed so much that my voice became hoarse.
However, when I see him not stop shouting, I realize once again how great his power is.
Isn’t it true that people who had never even met each other were transformed into people who are willing to die?
If we had waited just a little longer, it would have become a catastrophe and engulfed this country.
I feel a surge of relief that I am so glad I did it before it was too late.
At the same time, I become greedy.
“It’s definitely useful to have, but…”
The greed for the power of sloth.
I really want to take it all away…
“Is that possible?”
Actually, it’s all nonsense.
With my current gluttony, I cannot take away the other person’s power.
To be precise, the energy generated by the power can be absorbed, but it is impossible to take away the source itself.
If that was possible, why would I have threatened that guy by saying it was a deal or something?
All you have to do is take it away right away and break the brainwashing yourself.
In short, what he did was gambling, or bluffing.
It only made it feel like its power was disappearing by quickly absorbing the energy and magic from the source, but in reality, Gluttony could not even get close to the source.
If the situation had lasted a little longer and the guy had been a little calmer, maybe he would have noticed.
“The ability is to not notice that.”
Still, it’s not bad.
Even though I only sucked in the energy and not the source, I got quite a bit of benefit.
As I was devouring the energy of sloth, a message that made me feel quite hopeful came to mind.
[Preys on the energy of sloth.]
[The properties of the excessively inhaled energy are partially incorporated into the magic power.]
[Time remaining until extinguishment: 22:11:10]
Some of the properties of the absorbed energy of sloth are melting into magical power.
This is a similar phenomenon to when he gorged on the energy of anger while dealing with Lu Bu’s subordinates.
Now that I have at least some of that power, I will once again achieve growth different from others.
I rub my stomach where gluttony has settled and smile happily.
“I have to be satisfied with this for now.”
Gluttony always makes me dream of the future.
No, it keeps giving me a glimpse of possibilities so that I can covet more in the future.
I am convinced by the possibility.
The gluttony of the future will be so great that it can devour even the source of its opponent in one bite.
That’s why.
The reason why Yoon Myeong-ho was captured alive and relatively unharmed.
This guy is the prey that I will eat in the future.
When I imagine that time, I try to calm my uncontrollable greed and lightly push Myungho Yoon’s back.
“Come on, let’s finish this quickly.”
The guy who was pushed on his back by me and started walking with an indescribably heavy expression.
All the fanatics in the camp who saw Yoon Myeong-ho rushed to the iron bars.
“Cyo, cult leader!”
“The leader has arrived!”
“You came to save us!”
“I believed in you, leader!”
Bang bang bang!
A mad cry.
A loud noise made by striking the iron bars with hands and feet.
At the center of it all, Myeong-ho Yoon’s Mokuldae sways.
I say sarcastically to the back of the head of a guy who clearly looks scared.
“Why are you scared when you actually want to unlock it? Are you afraid that those who followed you so much will kill you?”
“…”
A guy who scrunches up his face but keeps his mouth shut.
It looks like we hit the nail on the head.
You must be scared anyway.
Those who have been crying out loud until now will be rushing to bite off their necks at any moment.
“But don’t worry. Because you won’t die here.”
I will not allow such a death.
Because he is my prey.
Amidst the resounding, maddening illusions, he slowly increased his power.
A gray energy that gradually spreads.
The moment they touched the heads of the fanatics beyond the bars.
The guy mutters.
“Go back now, brothers.”
As soon as the words are finished, the gray energy disperses and disappears like a haze, and the people who were crying out the leader’s name just a few seconds ago close their eyes and collapse one by one.
Whisk!
Whisk!
Cradangtang!
These people are lying around, piled on top of each other.
Myungho Yoon, who was looking at them with a confused expression, turns his body this way.
“… “It’s all over.”
“It’s not just the people here who need to be de-brainwashed.”
The hunters who were acting as his personal guard were nothing more than a help to stop the bleeding.
The number of ordinary believers supporting it is as many as thousands.
“… That was all resolved as well. If you don’t believe it, you can check it yourself.”
Not long after saying those words, an association employee who was armed and on standby in case of an emergency approaches and whispers in his ear.
“It seems to be true. “Currently, calls are pouring in through 119 reporting that the person suddenly collapsed while screaming.”
It appears that the same situation as the scene unfolding before our eyes has unfolded across the country.
“Okay. Since the situation is over, I will be arrested and returned.”
“Yes.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the guy who had briefly regained his freedom was placed in handcuffs and shackles.
Myeong-ho Yoon, who had lost his strength again and was being grabbed by the hunters, hurriedly opens his mouth.
“Promise…, Be sure to follow it.”
“Of course.”
This is a summary of what was written in the pledge I made before coming here.
Instead of releasing all those who have been brainwashed, they are imprisoned in domestic prisons.
“Because the charges are clear, the trial will be completed quickly, and you will be imprisoned in a domestic prison. “I’ve already finished talking to the person above.”
“… I understand.”
Myeong-ho Yoon is led by the hunters with a more relaxed look.
Then, the guy stops walking by applying strength to his legs and turns his head.
“One last piece of advice.”
The guy who spoke had a faint smile on his lips.
“Peace that is only a lie will come to an end sooner or later.”
It was a mockery.
It contains sarcasm that seems to be mocking my difficult future.
“A strong wind of blood will begin to blow. “A huge wind of blood that no place in the world can be safe from.”
Tsk tsk!
The guy who was laughing like a crazy person is glaring at me with crazy eyes.
“I will watch. I wonder how long you can survive!”
Lastly, he left a message for me.
“I hope you survive for a long time. At least until the number I picked is called… !”
With those words, the guy turned his back and walked away without any regrets.
“Tsk tsk…, Haha!”
The corner of his mouth twitches as he listens to the mad laughter echoing through the quiet temporary camp.
“… “Did you think I would be scared if you did that?”
I’m sorry, but I already knew about it.
The point is that the current peace is just a shell.
And that it will end sooner or later.
“You should worry about yourself first rather than worrying about yourself, tsk tsk.”
I click my tongue, sincerely worried about this guy’s future.
Number ticket drawn?
Even if the turn goes that far, he won’t even get a chance.
As written in his pledge, he will avoid the prison belt and be imprisoned in a domestic prison.
By the way.
“We didn’t talk about the transfer process that would follow, I guess… ?”
Just enjoy it for a little while.
A happy prison life in a country that respects human rights even for criminals.
Because later you will live a life worse than an insect.
Even until death.
Just as a deep smile was forming on my lips.
Wow-
The smartphone in my pocket rings loudly.
When I took it out and checked it, it contained the content I had been anxiously waiting for a few days ago.
It is none other than.
“Oh, you’re here.”
It was news that Elixir had arrived in Korea and was anxiously waiting for her owner.
