Chapter 190 – Chapter 190
It is not an absolute area that can suddenly stop the opponent’s skill.
However, the fact that I can erase the magic of people within the scope of the absolute realm at will.
Now the president is no longer a transcendentalist.
In an instant, the white and golden light of the skill the president had activated and the skill I had used flashed dazzlingly and then disappeared.
Everyone who watched from the side did not hide their bewilderment.
“What, what…”
“What was the sudden flash?”
“Sir, Mr. President. Are you okay?”
The people around him hurriedly supported the president, who was about to kick his ass backwards with a distraught expression.
No matter how much I was a president, I couldn’t grasp all my abilities.
Since he’s a smart person, he should have already figured out that he lost his mana because of me.
“Hey, Mr. President. Would you like to talk with me alone?”
“Hey, Mr. Kang Jeong-hyuk! No matter how much you say you’re a transcendentalist, how dare you be rude in front of the president…”
No matter what the people next to me say, I only have business with the president.
Everything he had planned.
Whatever it was, now that it had lost its magical power, it was all in vain.
Moreover, since the transcendental level of magical power disappeared as if it were a lie, how disheartening would it be?
I understand him
So, without threatening anything, I just wait quietly.
The president, who barely managed to keep himself together, had no choice but to accept my proposal.
“The President…”
“I’m fine, so you’ll take care of the rest.”
“But… The media is also watching it right now. In implementing future plans…”
“Oh, that’s it!”
The man next to him seemed to be involved in the president’s plans.
He also seems to be a transcendentalist, but how many transcendentalists are there in Korea?
What happened
For me, the important thing now is not the transcendental issue, but that.
Capsule.
* * *
I moved away from the crowd with the dying-looking president.
Due to the appearance of the giant worm, the surroundings are very chaotic and not a single ant cub can be seen except for the raid and the corpses of the worm.
However, there are too many awakened people around to say that it is the best place to have important conversations.
Guys have good ears.
From now on, the only things I have to hear from the president are things that shouldn’t flow to anyone.
So, in the end, I had no choice but to activate the absolute area again.
Conversations within the curtain of light can never be heard from the outside.
The size was also minimized, so there was no need for a huge amount of magic power, and even if the story was long and lacked magic power, it was enough to use the magic power stored in the monster in the left hand.
“Now that the soundproofing is perfect, shall we listen to the story properly?”
“Kang Jeong-hyeok… I don’t know what kind of complaint you have against me, but please return my mana quickly.”
I don’t know who feels sorry for whom.
Is this because he is the current president?
A gentleman who would die if I lifted a finger…
“Um… Well, that’s good. But if you solve my questions, I’ll return it to you later.”
“I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.”
The president persisted in ignorance until the end.
Eventually I had to work for a while.
The task of feeding the President with my blood and increasing the synchronization rate to 100%.
All of this was possible because there was a skill called the absolute realm borrowed from Lee Dong-geul.
“Keukhuk… Kkeuk…”
“Don’t reject it, swallow it. A man who already knows everything…”
This allowed me to add the president to the link target.
It was to borrow his skill called ‘mind control’.
“Yes, yes. There is something you want to hear from me…”
How good is it when you open your mouth a long time ago?
“What are you doing?”
“What?”
“What were you doing before you became president?”
“Wh-what…”
“Don’t cheat. I’m less patient than I look. Or will you use your mind control to get me to confess?”
Why did you make me drink my precious blood?
You know everything
“Tell me how you found out about the capsules and all the information related to them.”
Eventually, he began to tell the whole story without lies.
After a while, you can use the skill to check again to see if there are any real lies.
It would have been convenient to just use mind control from the beginning, but it was disappointing that it could not be activated simultaneously with the absolute area.
It’s mind control anyway…
Now the part where I can control all the women in the world at will?
I feel sorry for myself for thinking such a sinister thought first, but what can I do?
How this skill works will require further experimentation, but it seems to be quite useful when dealing with monsters.
At this level, am I almost invincible now?
* * *
While returning to the hotel, various thoughts ran through my head.
It’s because of the story I heard from the president.
Before Gate’s existence was revealed, he was said to have belonged to an international research organization in the United States.
Even after the gate appeared, the group was maintained, and various studies were conducted for the survival of mankind.
It is said that they learned about the existence of the capsule there and conducted various experiments.
However, unlike items that could find uses, such as drops to attract monsters, there was no progress in capsule research.
It was only found out that it was impossible to destroy by any physical or chemical means.
However, capsules weren’t the only thing that didn’t yield results among the items they were experimenting with, and rather, very few of the items brought from the dungeon were able to get proper research results.
Items whose purpose was unknown were stored in the underground storage of the laboratory at the time.
Surveillance cameras were, of course, essential.
However, its purpose was greater to worry about the items exploding or to attract monsters than to worry about being thieves.
It was judged that no one would hide there for reasons other than research purposes when the survival of mankind depended on it.
Then one day an accident occurred.
It must have been a thief.
As time passed after the gates appeared, trading of items obtained from dungeons became more active, and as so-called collectors appeared, the price of some items skyrocketed.
In the meantime, the guys who were aiming for a handful were aiming for the laboratory.
“Then they started experimenting on humans…”
“Yes? All of a sudden?”
“One of the thieves bit the capsule with his teeth. Then he passed out.”
In the end, the theft ended in an attempt.
And the man who wore gloves, his whole body, and even a mask and bit the capsule with his teeth gained the same suspicious abilities as me.
“The U.S. Government made a deal with the thief that if he actively participated in the research, he would not be charged with the crime, and the thief accepted it. There was no reason to do it every month even though he was paid close to 10 million won a month.”
The experiment that started like that went smoothly in the beginning.
The situation changed drastically when the researchers, who did not believe when they first suddenly saw a strange message in front of them, awakened after one of them contacted the thief.
In addition to grasping the ability of the person it touches, it is to increase the mana of others through long-term contact or to completely remove the mana. (Magic attribute OFF)
Through blood, the synchronization rate that took a long time can be raised at once.
Even as the level (authority) rises, it is known through research that wounds heal naturally or the skin is strengthened to such an extent that sharp needles cannot pierce the skin. (Auto Shield)
However, a problem arose.
As time passed, the test subject, who realized the usefulness of the ability he had acquired, began to lie to the researchers.
A situation in which the synchronization rate with the opponent can be greatly increased at once through the injection of one’s own blood.
Just in time, as the authority rose to 3, it became possible to borrow the ability of a target with a 100% synchronization rate.
This fact was hidden from the researchers.
‘Isn’t this crazy? Awakened and Nabal, then I am the strongest!? Why do I have to live here like a lab rat?’
As the experiment continued, going out became increasingly impossible.
When he came to his senses, he was already being watched 24 hours a day, and as time passed, security within the laboratory became more thorough.
The characters he encounters are also filled with military elite Awakeners who try to prevent him from escaping rather than researchers.
‘I have to seize the opportunity and escape.’
By the time the researchers or the US Army noticed his mind, the ability of the test subject had already surpassed all the Awakeners who participated in the study and monitored the subject.
The US government, which recognized its value based on the results of the experiment obtained in advance, was conducting the experiment under strict security.
However, the experiment eventually ended with the subject’s attempt to escape.
Fortunately, there were no transcendent Awakeners inside the laboratory at the time.
Otherwise, the escape of the test subject would never have been prevented.
However, the US government had no choice but to make countless sacrifices while preventing the test subject from freely using the monster-like ability of accident acceleration and the ability of three A-class awakeners at the same time.
We lost nearly 30 Class A Awakeners.
The current president of the Republic of Korea, who was participating in the study at the time, was a person who witnessed the fact right in front of his eyes.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was able to bring him to South Korea after intense negotiations with the US government.
This was accomplished only after an agreement was reached to share all information from domestic research institutes with the United States.
The current president, who came back like that, took the position of head of a domestic research institute that was just being created.
And he secretly resumed his studies in the United States.
“Who would have thought that this small country could hold two of those precious capsules?”
To find another test subject that reacts with the capsule, he used children undergoing a mana response test at the Magic Tester.
That’s how I found the ‘him’ I know now.
“Shit… It looks like Permission 4 needs another capsule. So, do I have to search the dungeon after all? Fuck, how can I find that little thing…”
“Guest. We have arrived.”
He arrives at the hotel, but his head is still confused.
I got out of the taxi and shook my head as I looked at the lobby of the fancy hotel.
“Let’s think slowly. Anyway, what are the president and Park Yu-ri doing right now…”
While I was listening to the president’s story for a long time, Park Yu-ri showed up late.
When the business was over like that, it seemed like the two of them had something to talk about, so I left it alone and returned first.
Park Yu-ri, who learned the whole truth, seemed a little shocked, but wouldn’t she have killed the president suddenly?
Then it’s a big deal.
If the president dies, mind control will be erased without ever being used.
Oh, I don’t know.
Know it or not.
The things that have been bothering me have been largely resolved, so I will not think about anything tonight and I will solve the problem for the first time in a long time.
“Um… After all, shall we go with her for the first time in a while?”
