Tinderbox (2)

Who else is here besides the Dozzles?]

[Yes, Sasi. You wanted to surprise Mr. Kahama and Pluto, so you suddenly came... Let's go inside and meet them in person.]

What the hell are you talking about?

You said you wanted to surprise us?

Who the hell? Who's in here right now?

First of all, given the extreme honor of the guard, I'm sure he's a high-ranking officer. It was questionable whether anyone would have taken the time to visit the site. I'm sure they're all out near the wire, and some of them are moving in the direction. I don't quite understand who came to see us.

a gain in talent

The steel door of a conference room that is slowly opening with an unpleasant frictional sound.

So I slowly stepped inside the conference room, brooding over the guard's words. I don't know why... I'm just pretty upset. I don't have any reason, but I just feel strange and displeased.

Unexpected visitor.

intuitively ominous.

Moreover, the number of believers staying on the third basement floor.

Was the number of their heads this small?

Wasn't there definitely more yesterday?

And that moment.

Cuckoo kung!

I'm faced with an overwhelming sense of alienation coming from the inside. I could feel my heart sinking.

Damn it.

This energy has obviously been experienced before.

a sense of oppression in the dark that seems to squeeze the heart thoroughly

a lump of goosebumps all over one's body

The wavelengths of space are slowly distorted.

Things turn gray in color.

Only then did I realize who my opponent was.

Unknowingly, the impression is distorted by itself.

What is this?

What the hell is this?

Why are you here?

First Army Commander Berkus...!

[Oh, no...?] Aren't you Mr. Berkus?]

Armudor's most beloved.

One who controls the entire planetary system at will.

The strongest shield and spear to protect Armudor.

A superpowers who even I, who have become [the] existence, are overbearing.

[ Immortal] of the... the First Corps commander

And I found him... He forced his crumpled face wide open.

Of course, he didn't give a speck of a hint on the outside.

No. I was rather smiling as if I were pleased.

Like a subordinate trying to please his boss.

'Crazy!'

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

a beating heart

Berkus looking this way and showing a calm smile.

The head gets complicated by unexpected characters.

I'm afraid I'm going to get a bad word out of my mouth.

[Good to see you, Kahama. Pluto. You're pretty late.]

What a nice surprise.

I bowed politely to Berkus with Plutona. Cunning and dirty-tempered, like other military commanders, he has always used extreme honorifics. Of course I had to play him, too. Even though my insides are already burning black.

[I can't believe...] What brings you to this temple? Didn't you personally march to the front to see the battle between the leaders of the mighty and the other legions?]

It was.

According to information from the outside, Berkus was now recognized as staying northwest of the resistance, or near the region. Everybody knows that, and so did I.

But the fact that he was staying here...

It meant that it was completely misinformed false information.

information manipulation

In other words, I don't know why, but he lied about his destination and arrived here. Not even the same commander-in-chief noticed. Oh, come to think of it, now I know. A pattern on the guard's chest that carried the entrance to the third floor. It had slipped past thoughtlessly, and now it was the reverse triangle dots used in the flag of Berkus.

Crazy

I never thought I'd see the 1st Corps commander again.

It is also being restored at this temple.

What kind of fate is this?

I can't believe the most difficult guy is here.

[Hahaha...!]

He smiled whitely at me.

I feel like my back is crawling with a heavy and chilly voice. I've been through so many things, but this is the only one that gives me fear. And the fear... It makes a person's body and mind harden.

[Information is worse than I thought, Kahama. My facts have been waiting for you here since last week.]

Since last week?

This situation... It's totally out of the question.

It's fine, but even Pluto, the robot, seems quite surprised.

What the hell is going on in English?

What the hell is going on right now.

Why is this asshole here?

It's driving me crazy.

[Since last week?] Mr. Berkus... You mean this kahama?]

[Yes, kahama. But why are you so displeased to see me?]

Flinching.

I hid my agitation in a hurry.

What a jerk, are you trying to make fun of me?

[...what?] Oh, no. Not at all, Mr. Berkus. I was just surprised that you suddenly appeared.]

Berkus giving a sharp look.

I am indifferently showing extreme politeness.

However, breathing becomes slightly uncomfortable.

What should I say?

Yeah, he's just sitting still, and it feels like a storm is raging all over his body. It feels as if all the air around Berkus is distorted. Like a black hole lurking in front of my eyes, I keep getting distracted.

It's a monster.

The worst being with thrilling power.

an absolute power that overpowers everything without even realizing it.

A tooth that hides its chilling power in its body.

That was the true face of the First Corps commander, Berkus.

'Calm down, Choi Min-hyuk. You have to stay calm. It's... it's definitely a pretty dangerous signal.'

I gulped down my saliva and collected myself to the limit.

The previous one I saw when I was a merchant.

At that time, the 1st Corps commander felt like a monster that I couldn't handle. And after a while, I was transformed once again into the existence of [bold] items in a fairly short time.

But now that I've gone up to [frustrated], let me say again.

I was... rather feeling his strength more clearly on the skin.

I've at best become a top-notch player in the category, but I still don't feel the gap between me and him has narrowed a bit. No, I can't believe the gap feels bigger, let alone smaller. Is this the right arm of the Creator? If he moves in earnest at least one thing, will he be able to withstand the Berksus offensive?

This Choi Min-hyuk... Do you think we can get him down?

And why the hell is this guy here?

'Whoa... it's really tangled up.'

2nd Army Commander? 3rd Army Commander?

It's clear that the two are also [inexorable] class.

But he was different from them were different.

a truly inaccessible being

This guy was different from anyone else in this planet.

It can be said that the upper gauge of power is different from ordinary beings.

Even I am now, I cannot beat Berkus.

maybe

Berkus burst into laughter when he heard my answer.

[Haha. Surprised?] You cute little bastard.]

In the midst of my uncomfortable silence.

His comfortable voice followed calmly.

Of course, the content is... I wasn't calm at all.

[Not much of a deal. I just wanted to see with my own eyes how you speed up. I never dreamed that such an unexpected efficiency would exist in the power of. That's why I took the time to visit him in person on purpose.

[...Yes?]

Heart beating! Heart beating! Heart beating!

A heart that beats irregularly with anxiety and shock

a momentary pause in a moment

A head tangled like a tangled thread.

What did he just say?

I asked him again and again, Berkus said calmly.

[Didn't Flutona say?] We've found a way to activate several times the properties of the embedded in the . Therefore, I would like to observe your work with my eyes. Didn't you say you'd be sure of your resurrection by the 24th? That's just the right time.]

[......]

I'm completely speechless.

Is this what it feels like to bring a cold dagger to the heart?

It was the worst. This was really the worst.

In short, I will supervise the restoration of the temporal axis myself. That's the sound. It meant that if everything really went as Berkus said, we had to interrupt something in his surveillance.

What a crazy...!

Are you kidding me?

You can't fool the immortal eye and do that right.

No. Even if it's possible, the risk is too great in this case.

Did he notice something?

Are you trying to talk to Pluto or me?

I feel like I'm going to go crazy.

I opened my mouth with a dry heart.

Even in this situation, it is even more crazy to play Kahama.

[Crrrrrrrrr... No, Mr. Berkus. How can we take so long away from your busy time? We work together to clean this up...]

[No. No.]

But Berkus shook his head immediately.

[You don't have to worry about me. It is not specifically intended to supervise management. Think about it. Where in the world is anything more important than Nim's up? Shouldn't I join him in his resurrection?]

Crazy

Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy...!

Don't talk shit, Berkus. You son of a gun!

Shut up and get the hell out of here!

Wow, this is driving me crazy.

What the hell are you talking about?

You pumpkin-like bastard.

Why are you so determined?

I felt that the most 'core axis' of the plan that I had been working on was rapidly jeopardizing.

camouflaged as a kahama?

It was the best.

To start a war by combining the powers?

That was very good, too.

It was also perfect to deceive the commanders of the corps and overheard the meeting.

The process of coming to Magna Cargos Temple is also good.

Everything's good.

Everything has been good so far.

The plan was close to perfection.

But what if you can't let go of even one thing? What if his whole plan is twisted under his watch? What if the identity of me and Pluto were discovered by the enemy, and our intentions were discovered by them?

Then it's just the end.

All the things that have been done well so far go back to the white paper.

If somebody wakes up, they'll lose 100 percent.

It'll be a hard-working tower, and it'll all fall apart.

Shit. I can't stop cursing.

'Whoa......'

Berkus's out-of-the-box intervention.

I'm confused and I'm so confused.

The worst ever bursts of variables are painful.

I don't know what to say to him.

Do you say yes?

Or do I have to somehow get around it?

If you make a mistake, that's it.

It's all over.

Boom...! Boom...! Boom...!

a frantic beating heart

The longest few seconds of silence in life.

The blood of the blood vessels feels as if it is drying up.

But I couldn't agree with Berkus hastily.

Because Pluto's words were all lies.

Activate the properties of to speed up the restoration of the temporal axis?

Such a thing is impossible at first.

Pluto doesn't have that kind of research data. It was just a part of a lie that was made to enable me and myself to come. In other words, the current situation could be seen as an onslaught.

I can't tell Berkus to do that.

a state now that cannot be said to be impossible

the very worst of the head of the house

But then.

Out of nowhere, Pluto took a step forward.

projecting unknown data into the air

[Positive. If you want 'observation' of the process, you can start working right now. System Readiness Progresses 95.3%. [Time required for pre-cleaning and simplification work to increase efficiency total of 13 minutes and 53 seconds.]

What?

Tinderbox (2) End.
