King of Shadows

Shoe comes out of the Ferris wheel and smiles brightly. Her surroundings are dark, but she's glowing alone. Shoe, who never forgot his fate, was recited at the end.

"Honey, I had fun today."

"Glad you like it."

"Sometimes it wouldn't be so bad to walk around like this."

"Yes, I agree with you if you're going around 'occasionally'."

"I think I have a bone in my horse. Am I mistaken?"

Shi Hyun smiled meaningfully and passed on Shu's words. It was true that I was tired. But it was more meaningful than that. This meeting allowed me to understand Shu. On one side of her that she could not normally see, she couldn't hide her surprise.

If he had kept his distance, he would not have known. When Shi Hyun heard about Shu's situation, he couldn't ignore her like before. I wonder if Shoe felt a little closer. When his eyes warmed, she did not hesitate to stick with him.

"You know what? For the first time, you didn't push me away."

"I just thought there was something I needed to understand."

"This is the development of the elders. Do you think it's okay to think that you're relieved?"

"I'm sure it's not that far off."

"Hehe, you've finally surrendered to me."

"That's odd. We're just getting started."

"Aha, you think so too, don't you?"

Choo answered softly and elongated. It was only then that Shi Hyun realized that he had fallen for Shu's induction newspaper. What she wanted was not victory, but acceptance.

"You're a grumpy one."

"Since you can't be honest, shouldn't I be honest too?"

"If you can't talk,"

Yog Sotos is likely to have seen through everything. Instead of explaining the situation, he handed it over to Shu. There was nothing more to say.

"A single mother's love story. Make it a drama and you'll be thrilled. Don't you think so?"

"Please stay out of it."

Sihyun walked the streets at night with Shu. And I opened my mouth when the heat that I had been running up was about to cool down.

"What are you doing here, anyway?"

"Huh? I told you from the beginning. To have fun with you."

"I did. I thought there was something you wanted to tell me."

Shoe stops his steps and looks at him.

"You're quick to notice. It's perfect."

"If I hadn't said it myself, I would have walked away."

"Are you still doubting me? I'm not that obsessed. I just postponed it because I wanted to enjoy the atmosphere a little more."

Dating was only a minor factor. Shoe's main objective was to raise awareness of the demonstration. After looking up at him, Shu solved the subject he had brought.

"Slander moved."

It was an implication. However, he never listened to Shu. That's what she said when she could look into the outer space.

"Isn't Slander always on the move?"

Thinking of Slander, Sihyun frowns. Slander has lost Chris now. All he could do was fight an all-out war or an all-out war. But Sihyun knew better than anyone that Slander would not choose that option.

Slander loves chaos and chaos, but he hates more meaningless violence than that. Because the chaos he planned and the chaos he created within him was the goal he was aiming for. If Slander had his way, he would have seen that coming.

"It's going to be different this time. Slander's true nature has vanished from outer space."

The implication was great. Slander was one of those heavy-ass things. It's true that he wandered around the universe creating chaos and chaos, but it was always about love. His strength was not in wisdom and intelligence.

His power comes from his nature. It was chaos and chaos that was his body that received the only opening through Azatos' approval.

A catastrophe has always occurred when an unknown creature moves that cannot measure its limits. Shoe was well aware. It was neither an expectation nor a prediction. It was all a product of experience.

As Slander abandons his tiny body and becomes NiAltotheb, a blizzard hits the entire universe.

"He's always looking for toys. I think you're gonna be that toy this time, okay? Slander never misses a doornail."

"It's okay. He's just a mountain to cross anyway."

Sihyun saw numerous monsters in the ultimate chaos. The gods of outer space filled the horizon brought him unspeakable despair. It was a situation where Azatos' body with such an army might awaken. If you can't stop Slander, you'd be better off dead.

"But don't you think we should deal with that? Speaking of which, why don't you save your friends? It's impossible to keep track of Slander's plans, but I'm sure there's at least one more ally who'll be there when this happens."

It was a gentle but explicit offer. Sihyun was unable to do her favors. When he reached out his hand, Shu grabbed it gently.

Neil Hoffman, chairman of WXO, host of World Talent War, was troubled by the unexpected. South Korea's largest scandal was elected as the country to host the 12th World Talent War.

It was no exaggeration to say that the appearance of the bad money and the red money was a hot bed of corruption. The whole world was noisy because of that. In a democracy, not a communist state, those scandals exploded, but they could not remain silent.

Neil sighs. Korea was now suffering from body weight. I don't know when that's going to end. Of course, the World Competency Feud was affected.

Will you accept the world's largest festival in a cluttered atmosphere? I thought Neil wasn't. He didn't like Korea from the start. Not only did the new stadium fall below the standard, but there was a widespread gaze that they were superior to the attitude of demanding payment.

If it weren't for the trademark of the King of Shadows, he wouldn't have looked at it. Neil wanted to beat up the past self who chose Korea to be happy.

"You seem troubled, Neil."

Neil turns his head to the sound of his voice. There was a figure who couldn't have been there. A black man in white, he was Slander Nigri.

"Slander...? How did you get here?"

Why is the person who disappeared half a year ago here? Neil looks puzzled by the incomprehensible causality.

"Of course I came to listen to your concerns."

Slander shrugs.

"Nevertheless, even though it's gone suddenly, it's taken to a research facility in a private laboratory. You don't think it's too much."

Neil couldn't agree with Slander at all.

"I don't know how you got in, but if you want to talk nonsense, get out of here before I call security."

"Take it easy, Neil. I just want to cooperate."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, you have my help to ease your anxiety about the host country, and I have your help to achieve my goals. It can be imagined."

"I'm sorry, I must decline."

"It's not too late to make a decision once you've seen it, Neil."

Slander raises a finger and relays his memory to Neil. Neal realizes what Slander is planning.

"What do you think? Sounds fun, doesn't it?"

A smiling slander, like Santa Claus, delivers the gift of contrition, awaits Neil's assessment with a throbbing chest. Neil shudders as soon as Slander's malice hits him. He couldn't agree when he died.

"This is crazy. This can't be happening!"

Neil howls with all his might. He pushes the idea into his head roughly. It shouldn't have been there. If it goes according to Slander's plan, the world will surely go mad.

"Well, that's not up to you, it's up to me. You can follow my lead. I'll take care of everything else."

"Stop, stop! If you want to make me a ridiculous offer, I won't stand for it."

Slander's jaw twists strangely as Neil resists.

"What are you going to do if you don't do anything? Are you going to scream like an unlucky hero? Or are you just going to walk out this door and ask someone else for help?"

"Ha, but."

"Give it up, Neil. Haven't you noticed? I don't know what it means to be here..."

Neil grips his hand and feels a little droopy. Slander was most likely a presence. An enemy of humanity and an unknown monster. And a great being that man cannot resist. Immediately, Neil gives me the creeps. The whole world was fooled by him.

"Shhh. I won't allow you to say any more."

"Now, you're crazy."

"Is that so? I think it's a very reasonable offer. You'll have to admit it. He will, too. Fair fight. I just fight where I want to."

"Oh, we're not ready yet. Your offer is a one-sided notice."

With the heart of Mother singing lullabies, Slander uttered his last words.

"That's okay. There are already people who can represent you."

After a seizure, Neil looks into Slander's eyes. Black and dark abyss, the end of which was nothing but destruction.

Lindsey was happy every day. It was not only because his lifelong confession was successful, but also because his unsupported skills were growing day by day. Being the deliverer was an incident she didn't think of, but she didn't mind. He was able to possess the ability to stop time in his hands.

But when something good happens, something bad happens. Everyday clouds appeared, sailing smoothly on the boat. An unidentified note was delivered in front of the house.

[If you don't want to die, give up this World War on Abilities.]

The note created an unpleasant atmosphere. Writings that differed in color and size, whether they were taken from magazines or newspapers, were continuing with their tails.

Lindsey didn't give up too much. She was renowned for her name as the Butcher. Those who came for her honor and status outnumber the stones on the side of the road.

Of course, I had never received a note of murder, but there was nothing she could do. Lindsey picks up her handset because there's nothing dumber than spending her emotion on an invisible opponent. Along with the vague belief that using the power of public power can be easily solved.

But the next day, it wasn't a friendly policeman, it was a more intimidating note.

[It doesn't matter if you report it.]

The cat's corpse was in the mailbox with a note with the contents. Elongated blood was shed from the cat's corpse, whether it had been slaughtered.

"You're out of your mind."

Then Lindsey realized the seriousness of the situation.
