My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

Chapter 269

#269

Going out (1)

“There! “Put that away!”

“What? “Be careful not to collapse!”

“Are you still a wizard? “We can’t touch this on our own!”

The scene was a mess and people were busy trying to clean it up.

Tarak was having a hectic time after experiencing the negative news of a sudden attack by a giant and an invasion by the Immortal King.

In fact, thanks to the Immortal King’s departure midway, no greater sacrifices were made, and the damage suffered by Tarak in this incident was by no means small.

The magic circle, including the protective barrier that had been overly operated due to the magicians’ desperate operation, had long since been damaged to the point of no recovery, the collapsed castle walls and the contamination of the ground were at a serious level, and other human and material losses were also significant.

In addition, the problem was that most of the soldiers who participated in the defense developed deep fear and trauma because they had to face the immortal army in extreme situations, full of the energy of death, which was the opposite of living things.

Immediately after the battle was over, they were the ones who took care of treating not only the wounded soldiers but also the mentally damaged soldiers…

“Huh, it’s been a long time since I saw you. Saint, saint. “I have to say hello to you belatedly due to a series of sudden events.”

“It’s been a long time, Cardinal Donovan! “Thank you for your hard work today.”

“no. Even if this old man did what he did, would the saint and his colleagues only be able to do well? “If the Immortal King himself had participated in this incident, Tarak would have been reduced to ashes in an instant.”

They were members of the religious order that came from the Great Temple of Picaol.

Their representative, the Cardinal, was finally able to formally greet each other with the warrior party only after the appearance of the Immortal King and the completion of first aid to urgent patients following the Battle of Tarak.

Heinrich said a word of surprise to Cardinal Donovan, who was looking at Saint Riesta with the kind eyes of a grandfather treating his granddaughter.

“But you came very quickly. “It must not have been easy to prepare this level of reinforcements.”

“They seemed to be strangely quiet recently, so I was fully prepared just in case. So that if an emergency arises, we can always leave immediately. “But why did I get an emergency call from Tarak just then?”

And since this was his first emergency dispatch, he patted himself on the back and regretted that he had taken longer than expected.

He continued to wriggle his massive muscles, which were still as ferocious as before.

‘You’re old, but you’re amazing.’

When I saw it, I remembered the first time I met him at the Great Temple of Picaol, where I went to take the Holy Sword Test.

Of course, there was a world of difference between his status back then when he was simply a warrior candidate paladin and now that he was recognized as a saint and was gaining fame.

“But… hmm, those vampires have already left. “Hehe.”

“Ah, it looks like he left immediately after the battle was over. “I was thinking of at least saying thank you for your help this time, but…”

“Well, they were definitely a big help. Without that help, it probably wouldn’t have lasted that long and would have collapsed. … Oh, I never thought the day would come when I would receive help from vampires. “This is a complicated feeling.”

He, who had lived his entire life thinking of vampires as his enemies, let out a short sigh.

Until now, he had been dissatisfied with the peace plan promoted by the saint, but now that he had actually received this much help, he had no choice but to accept it.

That the saint’s judgment at that time was correct.

Heinrich, who saw this, nodded with a faint smile on his lips.

‘With this, the vampirism will become even more popular. In response to the damage suffered by the city, Hubert Corporation can increase its influence by investing additionally. Where then…’

And at the same time.

Immediately after the battle, King Heinz II returned to his safe house and gathered his thoughts while watching his men prepare the blood gate.

The reason he came back from Earth to Outerica was to finish the work properly as the Eastern Republic was slowly coming to an end.

Then an emergency broke out, so we hurriedly came over here.

Now that all the issues were resolved, I needed to hurry back and finish the job.

Of course, there was still the issue of repaying the help from the Tulk Kingdom.

‘Such negotiations can happen at any time. Because this time we clearly showed our strength. If you think about what will happen in the future, you will have no choice but to bow down first and come in from the other side.’

If King Heinz II, the representative of the Kingdom of Thalia, had to personally intervene in such trivial matters, his prestige would only be harmed.

Practitioners are originally meant to act in situations like this.

Since it was a matter to be discussed at the national level regarding the return for this support as well as future work, there was nothing more for him to do right now.

‘I need to talk to Kayla McClair again.’

The Vice President of the Republic cooperated with him to learn the full story of his son’s disappearance.

It had just been reported that suspicious circumstances had been discovered while investigating all members of the Obaipo clan to find out what happened to her son.

‘…Maybe he’s still alive today.’

Of course, it wasn’t certain yet.

The probability that a child who was kidnapped and disappeared twenty years ago is still alive and well is not very high.

‘I was planning to finish my work here as quickly as possible and go on a food tour of Northern Europe.’

Heinz quietly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

However, you can’t just break a promise with someone who will help you a lot in the future.

He slowly twisted his head as he looked at the blood gate that was slowly starting to open amidst the flowing blood.

‘Well, it won’t take that long.’

In any case, being a revolutionary is about removing the biggest obstacle.

Because there will no longer be anyone in this world who can go against his will.

***

?XX Fragment of XXX that has become XX (28500000)?

“Hmm, after all, that must be related to the god buried in the abyss, right?”

I frowned slightly as I looked at an item that popped up in the “Purchase Items” section.

When I first saw it, it was an unknown product worth a whopping 30 million.

Immediately after creating a dragon avatar before dealing with the vampire Obipo who was hiding in the east, his points suddenly decreased by 300,000.

This time, there was a decrease of more than 1 million.

‘As expected… with a change of this magnitude, it can be considered certain.’

That product has something to do with the giant revolutionary and the god of the abyss he worships.

‘He is a god imprisoned in the abyss.’

Of course, after learning about him, I used all kinds of different methods to collect related information.

Of course, the intelligence groups under each avatar did not hesitate to use their position as saints, and the information gathered from all over the continent was…

“This is amazing.”

Surprisingly, there was absolutely nothing.

Even in the folk tales and jokes of each region, there was nothing similar to it, so I said everything.

And it was the same within the main church, especially the Heresy Inquisitors who also analyzed information.

When I took a quick look at it, I could feel their embarrassment even though only their eyes were exposed because they were wearing masks and hoods.

Heinrich had no choice but to give up on gathering further information as he looked at the worry in his eyes, wondering if the saint might have lost his temper.

Of course, at that point, that itself could be considered a piece of information.

‘It means that the entire existence of Outerica has been erased.’

A type of destruction of records of divine beings that occurred on a global scale.

There was only one being that could do that.

‘Now I understand. ‘Why did the Lord push me so much?’

The Immortal King was the first sword and the most threatening weapon sent out by the god in the abyss.

But didn’t it seem like an outsider with no connection to this world suddenly showed up and stole it without a trace?

It was no wonder that the god who ruled the world used him as a vaccine when a bug that had been excluded for some reason kept popping up.

“Well, it was a win-win, so I have no complaints.”

I shrugged my shoulders and took my eyes off the unidentifiable product.

I opened the system window to check the karma points I had accumulated, but while checking the price changes, my thoughts wandered.

‘Anyway, the points are pretty good, probably because I’m hunting a big game.’

As he successively strengthened his unique skills and continued to use the elixir of growth, the increase in karma had slowed down a bit, but this time, after dealing with the revolutionary, the amount of karma increased explosively.

With just this one incident, nearly 2 million people came in at once.

‘Should I save these points for now? You never know when you might need something. Above all, I don’t think I can strengthen my unique skills right away.’

Now, the number of times it has been strengthened with points has reached a whopping 12 times.

And when I got to this stage, I felt something instinctual.

He said he wasn’t ready to take the next step yet.

‘Well, I expected there would be a limit at some point.’

To put it bluntly, I have grown so rapidly in such a short period of time that I am not even able to meet the minimum level of proficiency to move on to the next level.

Perhaps reinforcing it twice in a row in the last reinforcement had a significant impact.

‘But it doesn’t matter because it’s not that urgent for the time being. There’s a lot of time left anyway, so let’s take our time and build up our strength.’

It didn’t feel real as I was living in a world with multiple bodies and a much faster time difference, but it had only been less than half a year since I had become an awakened person and acquired the “Avatar” ability.

This is a growth trend that can only be seen as abnormal to anyone, so it would be excessively greedy to be hasty here.

Tiriririn~?

As I was looking at the system window, the alarm sound I had set in advance on my smartphone rang.

“Oh, it’s already been so long.”

It’s almost noon already.

I quickly picked up my phone to check the time, quickly put on my coat, and headed outside where the sun was shining brightly.

‘The weather is really nice for once.’

I frowned slightly, covered my eyes with my hands, and hurried my steps.

Now I can go outside without difficulty, but perhaps because I’ve been cooped up inside the house for so many years, I still don’t like going out that much.

All the necessary exercise and leisure facilities were installed in the house, so I didn’t feel the need to go out.

-Kang Tae-san: Hey, are you really coming? Even my grandmother tells me not to overexert myself.

But that’s why it was necessary to make an effort to go out when necessary.

Besides, aren’t they completely strangers to me?

He couldn’t ignore the few human relationships he had left just for the sake of convenience.

-I’m going. Already on the bus.

-Kang Taesan: ?? Then, come carefully.

For some reason, it feels like it’s been a while since I went on an outing to Seoul with the main body in good condition.

Today was the day when my only friend, Kang Tae-san’s grandmother, was discharged from the hospital.

***

Luckily, I changed buses several times and headed to downtown Seoul without much waiting. What I felt was a determination to get my license as soon as possible.

I hadn’t realized it because I had been using the instantaneous movement conveniently, but when I tried to move somewhere while I was known as an ordinary person, I found that the transfer was very inconvenient even though the transfer timing was right.

‘There is a way to sneakily move using “object projection,” but… you can’t go that far by just going out.’

Originally, it was the slightest carelessness like that that led to the tail being revealed.

In order to create an alibi for the organization’s long-term external activities, it was necessary to use as normal a method as possible.

“Oh my gosh, is Seonghyun here? What did you do that brought you all the way here? “You must be tired for no reason.”

“Ahaha—it’s okay. “At this point, I’m just going to get some fresh air.”

“Oh, that’s right. He needs to come outside even at times like this. Grandma, do you know what her house is like? “Well, I’ve set up a gym, a swimming pool, and a movie theater at home.”

And when I finally arrived at the hospital and saw my grandmother who was just going through the discharge process.

I was overcome by a strange feeling that tickled my chest.

‘The effect of divine power is clear.’

The sight of my grandmother, who was not in a very good condition, finally being discharged from the hospital reminded me of the sexual healing that Heinrich had performed on his body that day.

‘They say old age itself is unavoidable, but just restoring stamina and resistance can be of great help.’

Was the divine power at that time at the level of a bishop?

It may be said that he was quite inferior to the saint-level person he is now, but in fact, the bishop was also a sufficiently high-class person.

In terms of nobles, he was a high-ranking priest who was at the level of a count and could take charge of not only a temple but also a diocese.

‘It took some time for my grandmother, but she recovered completely anyway.’

As expected, sacred power and sacred law were quite useful abilities.

It is not for nothing that all kinds of minor religions proliferate in modern society.

Perhaps the priests would have been more powerful than they are now if the penalty had not severely reduced their output on Earth?

“finished! “Let’s go now.”

After completing all discharge procedures, I followed Kang Tae-san, who was dragging my grandmother’s wheelchair.

Just as I was about to leave the hospital.

“Phew…Phew!”

In addition to the overwhelming status, a small sound of laughter was detected by my hearing, which is constantly compensated by the unique skill strengthening effect.

An ominous laugh that only came to my ears.

For a moment, a chill ran down my spine and my senses went numb.

I reflexively turned my head to look at the place where the laughter came from—.

I knew it instinctively right away.

‘…I somehow got lucky!’

After all, the corners of the house are the safest.

and.

Kwaaaaang—!

A huge explosion exploded in the hospital lobby.
