Chapter 356 – Episode 356. Where Should I Go to Find Apollo? Should I Invade to Find Apollo?
“Phew…”
『Damn…』
[The collapse of the Hunter Association’s laboratory that occurred last night was revealed to be the work of Awakening-hating extremists and their organizations who had infiltrated the Hunter Association…]
I slept soundly and woke up to find the whole world in chaos.
That’s because it’s impossible to hide this, and as it turns out, it’s an incident of such a huge scale. It was necessary to inform people to some extent, so the government could not easily cover it up.
[With dozens of deaths, the association’s research center’s data was completely destroyed, and the damage is expected to amount to at least trillions of won…]
“Hmmmm. It’s a big deal. “It’s a big deal.”
Something really big happened.
“Master. “Master.”
“Huh. Nike?”
“Why are you so excited?”
Our cute Natnat sits on my leg, tilts his head and pulls my collar.
He patted her head and pointed to the news screen.
So why am I feeling excited?
“Hmm, that’s good to hear.”
Can you hear me?
I hear.
The world is calling me, the sound of my rice cake!
“Just take a look.”
[The terrorist group’s purpose is to use drugs that suppress the abilities of awakened people-]
“Ah. First of all, did you turn in this direction?”
I turned up the volume on the TV and shook my head as the news broke slightly from the truth.
No matter how much it was a betrayal by an internal group or the work of a terrorist group, the place where the research was being conducted was a national research institute.
The story is that a drug was being developed that would turn all awakened people into evil spirits or worse than human beings.
It was a declaration close to a national declaration of war.
Even the Republic of Korea, the most technologically advanced hunter powerhouse,
Now they have developed a drug that robs the awakened of their abilities?
It has gone beyond what we can handle politically or in any other direction.
However, partial deterrence seems to have been scaled down because it is within the scope of research being attempted by each country for the sake of maintaining public order.
“It starts now.”
[In the background, the existence of ‘gods’ whose identities had never been accurately confirmed was confirmed…]
The existence of gods, which were publicly known, is highlighted starting today.
As the existence of the gods is established, the connection becomes stronger, making it easier for them to open dungeons.
At the same time, those of us who live on the affected Earth also have correspondingly stronger abilities.
The existence of the gods is ultimately a state in which the awakened people have gone one step further.
Before that, it is a fight over whether to make us slaves or not.
Well, I’m not sure if doing it this way has a higher chance of winning.
“I need to meet Artemis.”
My deer sister is waiting for me forever.
Anyway, the president readily accepted my request.
The situation can be covered up as a bigger incident.
Responsibility could be completely passed on to an outside aggressor.
And among those gods
[Among them, the Olympian god Apollo is pointed out as the mastermind behind this incident.]
Seduce me, you bastard.
Wasak-!
“It’s mine, you bastard!”
Let’s put our hand in the popcorn bucket Nike brought and take out a handful.
Nike starts crying after seeing the Thanos-turned popcorn.
[And the main character who solved this situation]
“It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming!”
[The previous day, it was revealed that he was ‘Isia’, an S-class hunter who founded Guild Dominant-]
“Kyaha~”
[Authorities said that thanks to Lee Sia Hunter’s quick assessment of the situation and quick response, he was able to subdue the member who was trying to run away.]
“Oh. “The owner comes out.”
Omulmuk- Nike, who was eating the leftover popcorn, was amazed to see me on the screen.
[President Kim Soo-ho personally expressed his gratitude, describing him as ‘our country’s hero’-]
It was the moment when I suddenly rose to stardom.
“K-Keu-U-I’m drunk-“
『This is fucking ridiculous!』
“Uh-huh, Shio. Classy. “What are you talking about to a hero?”
『How on earth could a person like this…!!!』
“Teing…Tsk. “My dedicated AI doesn’t even recognize the greatness of its master.”
It’s not easy to live like this all day long.
『I can’t admit it!』
“But come on.”
I stretched out my hand to the blue window that was blocking my eyes, gently caressed it with my fingertips, and smiled shallowly.
“So I saved you too?”
『Eh…Hmm- hmmm- well, that’s a different problem!』
At the very least, I can see that his face is red and he is whining.
Whisper – chin.
Hwiik – chin.
Chatting with Nike and Shio in the room where I deliberately sent everyone out.
I threw the blue ball Sojeong gave me last night into the sky and caught it repeatedly.
It’s okay for me, but I don’t know how other kids will be affected.
Arachne, who was fine with the mana, was so displeased that she left, and while Lucia attempted to purify herself, she became exhausted.
“You made something crazy.”
While I was there to take care of business, Sojeong took out the Blue Nepenthes from Jinsu Lee’s body.
Rather than refining it, it’s closer to being lumped together and killed with strong pressure.
Even though she lost her host and was in suspended animation with no life force provided, Lucia couldn’t even touch her.
It is definitely a weapon strong enough to make Jinsu Lee, an ordinary human being, declare that he will kill me.
Anyway, the drug in Lee Jin-su’s body was hardened into a ball.
It is not as shiny as it was at first, but has hardened to a dull blue color.
The ball is dry and cracked in places.
It’s like clay losing its moisture, drying out, and falling apart.
Hwiik-
Clearly, this drug is imbued with the divinity of Apollo.
This kind of destructive strength would not be possible simply by strengthening Sojeong’s abilities.
It’s disgusting to feel inside, but it’s clear that the strong energy I’ve seen is Apollo was behind Jinsu Lee.
And that means that Jinsu Lee was in regular contact with Apollo.
“I guess I’ll have to go see Jinsu Lee one more time.”
It’s time to catch the rat.
*
“I’m completely devastated.”
The dungeon where I came to meet the president after asking for his understanding, saying I had facts to interrogate.
Where is the balloon muscle pig buried in Sojeong’s flower petals?
There was a pout that was completely dry and dying.
The limbs are thin like tree branches and the muscles are hypertrophied.
In my current shrunken body, the muscles that have completely melted due to overload are unable to hold themselves together.
Perhaps because they judged him to have no will or ability to resist, he didn’t even have handcuffs attached to his hands.
Just a wasteful person lying limply in a corner of the prison.
“Hey.”
Whisper – thump.
Well, it’s not my concern that he’s dying.
When I lightly called him, he slowly opened his eyelids.
The guy who checked the other person is shocked.
“I…Sia…”
Wow-
Wow-
The moment he saw me, he pushed back his bony arm and tried to get away from me.
“Don’t worry. “I didn’t come here to kill you.”
Facing that guy, I threw Nepenthes into the air once again.
Kwasik-!
The moment his hand is wrapped in darkness and strengthened, holding the thrown ball tightly.
It’s like crushing tofu, and at the same time, a disgusting, nauseating smell fills the prison.
“I knew it would be like this.”
It is chemical terrorism that is close to poison.
Dirty gutter gray rat cub.
The sparkling blue light has now completely disappeared.
The gray nova condensed in the middle of the ball
It is held in the hand as a large bead.
A divinity that is as heavy as lead, has a cool gray color, and hums.
On the way there, he kept throwing the ball and condensing it.
The traces of Nepenthes, the plant that surrounded it, are brown and twisted and broken.
Falling on the prison floor
Soon, he thrust the remaining divinity in his hand in front of him and asked.
“This is what Apollo gave me.”
“Eh…That…Ugh-“
“Where can we meet?”
Eyes filled with fear and fear of me.
Even though he knew I had no intention to kill, he was scared.
Stuttering, he found the place he went to every week or month.
He stuttered out the location of the meeting.
How he got there, what he did and what he was delivered.
“Okay.”
After finding out everything I wanted to know, I turned around and saw the guy sitting at the end of the room.
I can hear the sound of my hands crawling with shaking hands.
Click-
The cool sound of gripping the iron bars.
“I…Sia…!”
Jinsoo Lee stands up with his bare hands and arms and looks at me with sunken eyes.
“What.”
“I…I guess I’m dead…?”
“I guess so. “Because you were just an intermediate refinery for him to receive power from.”
We didn’t mean to save it, but it’s thanks to us that it’s still alive.
After hearing what I said, Jinsu Lee slowly moves his hand and calls me.
“This way…”
A small voice that cannot be heard.
Jinsu Lee puts his hand to my ear and whispers in a hoarse voice.
“Daughter…Daphne…His favorite-“
Dump.
Jinsu Lee mutters a few more words and collapses from exhaustion.
“Ugh.”
I lifted the guy up, laid him down in a comfortable position, and turned around.
“I knew your will well.”
Well.
The gray divinity he was holding in his hand was absorbed into his body.
“Sun (40%) will be added to the loot!”
「Olympus-Temple of Apollo: Free entry to the Sun Palace is granted!」
*
“Waah—waaah—!!!”
A place with a desert climate that reminds me of Egypt, with the sun burning like crazy.
However, the people there did not care about the weather and did not block the sunlight.
He stretched out his hands to the sky and shouted, enthused by the sight of the king appearing before his eyes.
“Apollo-!”
“Sun!”
“Aaaaahhh–!!!”
On that high castle where you can see all those people
Waving with a friendly smile
A handsome man with messy hair.
Everyone was enjoying the festival and praising God who had brought them endless glory.
“It’s so fucking hot…”
Get out of the midst of those people
In a shopping street with unusually long eaves, wearing a hood to block the sunlight
A man fluttering the hem of his clothes.
The owner of the store, seeing the outfit that covered all of his arms and legs to prevent his skin from burning, tilted his head and handed him a piece of fruit.
“Yes? “Are you a stranger?”
“Yes. What. I’m on a trip. Find love, find romance. “I just need a glass of water.”
“Haha! “You are a young man with great spirit.”
When handed a cup of cool water, I lowered the mask that covered half my face to drink the water.
The store owner was surprised.
‘Wow, you can’t be this mean and look like a gisaeng oraebi!’
Although he is handsome, he has mean-looking eyes that I don’t want to say and a mouth that is smiling unluckily.
He asked a question to the store owner, who thought he had given him water for no reason.
“So what festival is this here?”
“Ah. That is.”
The store owner was filled with pride and stretched out his chest to show off to the stranger.
“Next week, our great Master of the Sun! The coming-of-age ceremony for Apollo’s daughter, Daphne, is scheduled! So, this is the festival season where everyone comes out and enjoys it! “I guess I’ve come to the right place!”
