The Returner

“No, of course not. ”

It is true.

Without Lee Hyuk, mankind would be finished.

However, this speech itself was just for public service. Seeing it coming in here, it felt like it was sitting down.

[As long as I'm helpful.]

“Well, right? ”

[I wasn't really thinking that, but thank you so much for saying that.]

“Oh, no. It's natural. ”

Cold sweat started to flow from Christopher's forehead. You can tell that Lee Hyuk is after something, no matter how little he notices.

[So here's the thing.]

“Yes…. ”

[Isn't life a give-and-take?]

“Well, right?

[If there is a way, there must be a way. Unilateral relationships tend to spoil one day. That's how the world works.]

I started to panic.

“Of course.”

[But if you think about it, I gave a lot to America, but I don't think I've ever received anything.]

You know how much money you took?

Your defense budget is swinging because of you. So, what, you didn't get anything?

Of course, it was not surprising that Lee Hyuk alone did what the U.S. military couldn't do, but he didn't receive anything.

It may be a small amount of money compared to what he did, but Lee Hyuk received too much money for an individual to have.

“Well, yes. ”

But it's either Christopher's position that you can't put your thoughts into words.

Now I have the power to build the Demon King alone without Lee Hyuk, and even though Lee Hyuk does not have a phase in the past, it was not possible to establish a relationship with Lee Hyuk as Christopher who once again confirmed the possibility of Lee Hyuk.

‘Oh, shit. ’

Christopher cheerfully said, "Take whatever you have to take."

Money, people, what does it matter now? Survival first.

“Yes, it is. It's true that we didn't do anything for you. Is there anything you want? ”

[Well, it's not necessarily what you want, so I guess I said what I want.]

“That's not what I meant. ”

That's right, asshole!

Christopher changed it.

[If you want to do it... Just do something else...]

“Yes.”

[Give me some food.]

“Yes?”

Christopher asked with a blank face.

“Do you want me to serve you a meal? ”

[Yeah, well, I don't want it to be big, but I think that's enough.]

“Ah……. ”

Christopher smiled with a cheerful smile. I thought I wanted something great, but I could do as much as I wanted.

One meal for the hero who saved the world.

He was willing to serve as the most expensive restaurant he knew.

“Hahahaha, of course. I'll buy it.When will you be back? ”

[I don't think I'll be there, just let me go. No, I have to go if I'm gonna get that. When will I be ready?]

“You can prepare right now. ”

That's what you're ready for?]

Christopher shuts up.

This wasn't an ambassador for someone who asked me to buy food.

“… You asked for food, right? ”

[Yes, Bob. But there's plenty to eat. Turns out there's no food for how these guys did their politics.]

“Oh, I mean in Korea... ”

[Yes.]

“Expression. Quantity. You're asking for help, right? ”

[Yes, Bob.]

"Hey, man! Who asked you to buy me food? Of course it's not wrong, but it's not! ’

Christopher quickly completed the calculation in his mind, even as he grew older. Fortunately, the food was free and stocked. The Central Industrial Zone was destroyed, but the agricultural zones were doing well, and there was plenty of food in the warehouse because exports were cut off.

‘Well, that would be great if you could color with it. ’

“I'd like to apply. How much would it cost? ”

[I'm not sure. Discuss practical parts separately. By the way, I thought you were giving me food.]

“Yes, I will.

[Wow, you're a lot nicer than I thought.]

“We have stock. And if Lee Hyuk wants it, I should let him go hungry. ”

[Well, I'm a little sorry to be out here...] Anyway, I won't forget.]

“Thank you for saying that. I'll discuss the details with the top. ”

[Yes, I have to go get it, so let me know when it's decided. But it looks like we're in a bit of a hurry here, so please hurry.]

“Then I will primarily prepare flour and meat. Take it first.”

[Do that, then.]

“Yes, of course. ”

Christopher, who hung up on me, laughed deeply.

‘It's a good thing they got robbed like this. ’

If Lee Hyuk asked me to do it, I had to remove his liver. If it could be solved with leftover food, it was the remaining business. Lee Hyuk had a lot to do for the future.

Lee Hyuk is the only one who can control the Alpha. ’

Christopher glances at the vision. Seeing Alpha trampling on the Demon King's head gives me a creepy feeling.

‘The old Alpha was not controlled by a country called the United States. ’

To be precise, it used to be impossible to capture, and now it's really out of control. If Lee Hyuk doesn't exist, who can stop him when Alpha decides to turn the world upside down?

It would be impossible.

‘Maybe we're raising tiger cubs to stop wolves. ’

Human enemies are always human.

Christopher had not forgotten the truth.

“Glug-ug-ug.”

He looks up at the Alpha, standing on his head with an unbelievable eye.

I was pushed.

Defeated.

I'm not overwhelmed. In fact, the humans around him rarely participated in the battle with Alpha. I stopped him at the beginning, but I've only seen him since the Alpha appeared.

He was defeated as the Demon King in a one-on-one battle with Humankind. Even now, his body was shattered, but the Alpha had no other injuries.

‘How did this happen……. ’

I think it's human to live in the same time as them. But a man like that would build up enough heat to defeat the Demon King. This could not have happened, even if the human potential was undeniable.

In the long and long history of Beraf, no human has ever defeated the Demon King. Even the mighty White Horsemen tried to fight the Demon King with numbers and power, but they did not intend to fight the Demon King with their own strength.

That's why even though Lee Hyuk is human, he is regarded as the Demon King who surpasses humans.

But…….

“How is this possible? ”

“Good riddance.”

The Alpha stepped on the Watcher's head.

“Why win and lose? I won because I'm stronger than you. Is your head that cheap you don't understand? Huh?”

I couldn't help feeling the emptiness of the bossy heart.

I can't believe this is the last time he's ever lived in his life. I had never once thought that I could die to a human being other than Lee Hyuk.

“They say mutants come out of humans once. ”

“Well, that's true, I'm not a naturally occurring mutant, so you're a little vague. ”

“... What does that mean? ”

“Humans are like that. If you acquire skill and knowledge, you will try to use it somehow. Humans with new toys named Aether can't just stand by and watch. ”

“ ……. ”

“Of course, your inexpensive head doesn't make sense. I don't want you to understand. You just have to die. ”

“Now, hold on! ”

“I'm getting out of here.”

“It's not like that. ”

Vodaju gripped his teeth.

“I remembered! You're my partner! ”

“Huh?"

“It was you who opened the door for us to come into this world! Then why are you doing this now? ”

“Oh?”

I looked at him as if the Alpha was interesting.

“You weren't very stupid. Seeing as you remember that. ”

“… Why! ”

“But there's no change in being stupid. Do you really think I dragged you here because I wanted this planet to die? ”

Alpha's dead.

“The Demon King is a fool. Even when they thought they could use someone, they had no idea they could be used by anyone. vain arrogance.”

“Grrrgh.”

The Watcher shouted.

“Your arrogance won't last long either. Don't think you can beat the Demon King just because you beat me. Now the real terror begins that you have never felt before. When he starts to step up……. ”

Quadruck!

Alpha's feet stomp on his head and explode.

“Uh, sorry. ”

Alpha smiled and said.

“I can't stand the idea of you acting like a smartass for nothing. I feel a little bit energized. Did you think it would explode so easily? ”

An alpha scrubbs the blood on his feet all the way to the floor, shrugging his shoulders as he looks back.

“That's what the Demon King said? ”

“Kick, Kick, Kick.”

Alpha's men burst into laughter.

“People who think they can do something, they talk a lot when they die. ”

“I haven't seen it once or twice, just understand. ”

“Should I?”

Alpha smiles bitterly.

I know what Vodaju means. He had already heard that higher levels of the Demon King have a different level of power than the Demon Kings.

In the past, even Lee Hyuk, who was able to deal with the Demon King more than ten times at the same time, could not guarantee a battle with the top Demon Kings.

It is said that Lee Ji-hyuk, who has immortal properties, would not have been defeated, but if there was only one life for Lee Hyuk, it would not have been guaranteed that he would win.

Then its strength will be enormous.

But…….

“But you can't cry. ”

The world was being cleansed. It's a shame he didn't collapse as much as he wanted, but at this rate, everything that ruled the world in the past has collapsed.

Christopher's single dictatorship was underway, even when the American system was in such a crisis.

"The real thing comes out of a crisis. ’

This world proved how vulnerable it was. Now we must build a new world on top of this crumbling world.

“Once we get those filthy Horsemen out of our world." ”

Everyone nods at Alpha's words.

“Well, let's go get King. ”

Alpha starts to move with a sneaky smile.
