Chapter 753 – 753. Over the Horizon 3
“Ah… Baby?”
Aki comes upstairs and is surprised to see baby Powell in my arms.
It’s surprising. Because he’s never seen anything like this before.
Akita defeated twenty-one sisters holding swords of light and even Reynolds, who seemed to have some skills, with a calm face without using a single skill.
When she sees her real baby, she hesitates and walks away.
It’s fun. It’s also funny to see reactions like this.
Aki also found out about her condition’s regression, so I’ll have to let you know.
She explained simply.
About a younger body, being able to return to its original state, skill combinations, and the depth of it all.
“Wow…”
She looks a little dazed.
Well, this is something that people who haven’t entered this area can’t even imagine.
The only thing even in the Ark knows is Minhee. Ah. Go Seong-yeon also knows. I have to go see that woman too.
Anyway, when Aki finds out that this baby is Powell, she feels a sense of separation and doesn’t seem to want to get closer.
Well, it doesn’t matter. There’s no need to take care of him anyway.
“So… How will things work now? This is America?”
“There is a way. You just need to stay here for a day. Then your skills will come back.”
“Huh?”
There is no flight, no teleportation, no gates. Therefore, it is impossible to return to the Ark from the United States.
But there is skill recovery, right? If you learn recovery and master it, you will be able to bring back all the skills you deleted.
“Then… Do you and I have to stay here together for a day?”
“Why? I don’t like it?”
When I said this with a smile, Aki’s expression looked a little… She looked embarrassed.
It’s like if a man in front of a motel says, ‘Do you want to take a break?’, That’s the look on his face.
Of course, I’ve never actually done that, so I don’t know exactly what the expression looks like. Damn.
“Ha… I can’t help it.”
Good excuse, right? Actually, I expected it up to this point.
If we catch Powell as planned, Aki and I will be left alone in the deserted United States for about a day.
It’s an amazing design. Looking at things like this, maybe I’m a bit smart?
“But… What are you going to do with that baby, or that person?”
“Well… This guy just needs to read the memories. I don’t know how much there is to save.”
“Does it take long?”
“Depending on the quantity?”
“Uhm. Okay. Are you going to do it right now?”
“Yes. First, we need to quickly read this guy’s memories and get rid of them.”
“Getting rid of it? Killing it? The baby?”
“It’s not a baby. You know.”
“Ah. Right…”
They all seem to be similar.
No matter how evil he is and no matter how much I try to kill him, I don’t think I’d be so quick to kill him if he turns into a baby.
It’s a bit like that, isn’t it? Taboo behavior.
Even in Hollywood, babies are not killed carelessly. Unless it’s a really well-thought-out movie.
So I also had such foolish thoughts about baby Rachel.
That’s what babies are like. It’s just that I look younger, but the malice or hostility towards it has disappeared.
Anyway, reading Powell’s memories.
There is no need to read all the information he knows.
Remaining forces. Saved manpower, infrastructure, plans… Things like that.
Moreover, there are other high-tier abilities remaining in the world that this guy knows.
I read memories focusing on those things.
There wasn’t as much information as I thought, so by lunch I figured out everything I needed to know.
“Are you done?”
“Yes.”
“Then… Are you going to kill me?”
“Well… I have no intention of killing you cruelly.”
I look at Powell. This guy has the body of a newborn and poses no threat.
At the bottom of that guy… I opened the storage.
A baby who is shy and withdrawn.
Even at that moment, I was constantly thinking in my head.
This is not a baby. This is not a baby. This is not a baby.
This is Powell. This is Powell. This is Powell.
[6,548,911,236 coins were obtained.]
Horizon’s last remaining Grand Master.
Stephen Powell is dead.
That message that her coins came in is a death notice that the guy is definitely dead.
“Gasp!”
“A lot have come in, right?”
“6… 6.5 billion?”
“Huh. Divided in half, it’s 6.5 billion, so it’s a reasonable amount.”
“Appropriate!? This is appropriate!?”
“That’s roughly true. Do you know what? I… Have 37.9 billion.”
When I whisper in Aki’s ear, Aki looks at me with a puzzled expression.
Did I say this for no reason? Aren’t you going to die by Aki’s hands like this?
The hero with the name of the Sword Saint finally catches the scum of the Demon King…
No way. Let’s quit. It’s not fun.
“Really… He’s an unknown person. Really.”
I laughed once when I saw Aki like that and then pressed delete skill.
Q&A. I have to press it. I wonder if the question was caught or not.
First, this is a skill that says it will be erased. Good. So there are no questions hanging?
I wondered what would have happened if Se-ah didn’t listen and asked a question. Fortunately, it looks like it hasn’t been done.
Well, that’s it.
Now it’s time to take skills. Open the skill window and select a skill.
Restore. I found it.
I immediately raised my skills. Ruler. Then we should test this right away.
I destroyed the TV in front of me with a poltergeist. The TV was completely broken.
Use your skills right there. Restore. The broken TV returns to its original state.
It’s okay now that your skill level has increased. Now I just have to do this 6,249 more times.
“Why did you break the TV and then fix it again?”
“If you master this over and over again, flight, teleportation, and gates will come back.”
“Oh. Really?”
“Are you also seeing the skill selection window now?”
“Yes.”
“Probably, a window will pop up where you can select skills such as flight, blink, teleportation, and clearing the gate. If you want to take a picture when it appears again, don’t take anything strange with it and just leave it alone.”
“Uhm… Okay. But is this okay?”
“What?”
“So this means that all the people left in the world have had their skills erased, right?”
“It will be right. Because I know that.”
“Then people who went far using teleportation and gates must be puzzled by now. Is there no way to go back?”
“That’s right. So I told Manager Jeong and Seung-gyu at the Ark. Before I brought you here.”
“Oh. Really?”
“Yes. If anyone has gone out, bring them back right away. If they can’t come now, their skills will come back in a maximum of two days, so don’t be too surprised.”
“Oh. Really? Then I’m glad.”
“It’s not those people I have to worry about. It’s the people who were flying when I canceled the flight that’s the problem.”
“Huh? Wow…”
“Flying is almost a basic skill, right? If there were people who were flying high for no reason… They would all have fallen to their deaths. That’s too bad.”
“That’s a little scary. If you suddenly fly well and then the flight disappears… It’s terrible.”
That’s why I sent Seung Mi-sean and Min-hee to the Starcheva Mansion.
I strongly advise you not to use it for flights.
Anyway, I just need those women to be fine.
“Are you hungry?”
“Um… No? I’m not that hungry yet.”
“Still, what should I eat?”
“Then I’ll go and look for something to eat. You have to be skilled at that, right?”
“There’s no need for that? If there’s something you want to eat, let me know. This is possible. Wish.”
I wanted spicy jjamppong, so I made it and Aki’s eyes widened.
They say it’s fun anytime.
It’s fun to show things like this to strangers. It’s more exciting than when I first showed the regression.
“Anything… Will everything work?”
“Yeah. Anything.”
“But… What is that?”
“This? This is Jjambbong.”
“Ah! Korean Jjamppong? Is there more than one?”
“Why? Try it?”
“Yeah. I was curious. What it tastes like.”
“It won’t be difficult.”
I made non-spicy jjamppong for Aki.
You sit down at the table and eat the food you created, facing each other.
The taste isn’t bad at all. But Aki says this is too spicy, so he asks for water.
“Ah. Just in case, don’t use the water here. Don’t drink it by mistake.”
“Huh!? Why!? Write. Sigh.”
It’s already been a while, and he probably didn’t put the medicine used in Protocol 666 in his hideout, but you never know.
Aki took out the bottled water in the storage compartment and handed it to him, and he gulped it down.
Should I have given you milk instead? But it’s not that spicy?
Do Koreans have strange tastes? I really like spicy food. The people of our country.
After lunch, I begin my recovery skills.
“I’ll take a look around a bit?”
“You can’t fly, so don’t go too far. Ah, I’ll turn off the zone where you can’t use the skill.”
“Yes.”
Since there is a party anyway, there is no need to track, but if something happens, I need to know the situation, so I did.
Ruler. So that’s it?
Aki goes out to look around, and I practice recovery skills.
A simple task of destroying with poltergeist and using recovery.
While using the skill, I organize the information I obtained from Powell earlier.
Horizon was destroyed.
Remaining troops? Does not exist. No, it exists. Chloe Evans, the troops guarding that woman. To that extent?
It was only yesterday that she was moved from here with her.
A woman who lives because she is drunk on drugs and cannot die.
Powell, that guy is a weird guy too. Even so, he has no intention of killing that woman.
I thought about it once before… It seems like Shinyoung and I have the same relationship.
I would probably feel that way if I hadn’t been able to improve my relationship with Shinyoung.
Of course… I don’t know exactly whether my relationship with Shinyoung has improved now.
Rather than an improvement, it would be a turning away. Are you ignoring what I did?
Anyway, the United States was destroyed with their own hands, and the remaining committee, with no power whatsoever, is the only woman left.
In the end, there is no need to worry about Horizon anymore.
And within the information he knows, there are no other threatening competitors.
In other words, it’s not confirmed yet, but I’m the most advanced in this world.
Big.
It was long and long.
Those guys were going faster than me. I caught up with them all and eliminated them.
Of course, there may be someone following me.
There could be someone somewhere secretly holding his breath and learning a lot of skills.
Since you have the lottery skill, there is no need to kill people. So there must be something there. Because there is still quite a bit of population left.
But there won’t be people who go out like this. Anyway, yes.
If I’ve searched all over the world and still haven’t heard any news, that doesn’t make sense.
Would it be possible if you were a more meticulous and gloomy bastard than me?
It’s sad that the probability of that happening is not zero. Sad.
Anyway, how dare you… Let me tell you.
It’s the peak of the world. It is said to be the most dominant.
Even so, nothing really changes.
Because my work is not finished yet.
There are still billions of people who need to be killed.
There’s still a lot of work to be done to find and kill them one by one. I have no idea how long it will take.
But… Now I might be able to do it a little more comfortably.
No… That’s how it should be. Let’s get some rest too. I want to relax.
But that can’t happen again.
When I map the Earth with local information, I can’t rest until Seungmi Se-an and I are the only people on the ark.
Ah. Shinyoung is there too. Lena and Gain too. Uh… Are there those European acorns too? There is also Bikini Island.
Anyway, there will be no relaxation until everything is under my control.
Still… You don’t have to live as harshly as you do now.
Although it may not be relaxing, there will be some room.
I think a lot about random things and become skilled in recovery.
I want to quickly retake the skills I erased, so I drink potions to practice them.
At this rate, it won’t take that long, right? However… You can’t take pictures too quickly.
There was a door sound from downstairs.
When I look that way, Aki comes into the house and comes up the stairs.
“Are you here?”
When I see her opening the door and coming in, her expression is a bit strange.
You probably know it yourself. What does it mean to be alone?
“Yeah. There was nothing to see. It was a bit eerie because there were no people.”
“It’s safer without people. The scariest thing is people. People.”
“Yes. That is correct.”
Meanwhile, she stands there slightly hesitantly.
I chuckled while looking at Aki like that.
“Come here. Sit here.”
As I sat on the bed and tapped the side of me and spoke, Aki glanced at me, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down next to me.
I thought you would sit close to me, but you are a bit far away.
One… About 30 centimeters? Is this the distance between Aki and my heart now?
As I sit close to the side, I feel Aki startle.
Cute lady. The reaction is pure and refreshing.
So much so that I don’t know if a rotten guy like me can do this.
Even if you approach like that, Aki doesn’t reject you or widen the distance again.
I guess this means accepting this distance, right?
“Thank you. For helping me today.”
“What… It would have been enough if you had come alone.”
“Still.”
And then I held Aki’s hand.
Aki flinched but didn’t remove his hand.
Instead, her face and even her ears turn red.
Ah… Really. Why is this girl’s reaction so cute? Make people excited.
