Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 99 - An Empty End



There was once an EX-rank superhuman and half EX-rank, a cult leader named Icardi Marduk, who is now dead with not even a corpse remaining.
Before being killed by Aria, the Witch of Music, when he first revealed himself after reaching EX-rank, he showed a truly imposing appearance and demonstrated the majesty of EX-rank through his strength… but due to a single mistake, he was driven to the brink of death and suffered an ugly defeat.
That mistake was accessing the mental world of the fortune-teller Dam Han-ul.
Considering Dam Han-ul’s mysterious, even terrifying fortune-telling(?) ability and something sleeping inside him, Marduk’s move was truly the worst possible move.
Of course, Marduk couldn’t have known what even Dam Han-ul himself didn’t know, so the cause can be said to be his sudden arrogance from his suddenly increased power, but anyway, the result was that it became the worst mistake that ruined his life.
Marduk was driven to the brink of death just by witnessing that overwhelming existence.
Probably… if it had properly gazed at Marduk, he would have died on the spot. It was lucky that he was too weak to be properly detected. The problem was that that luck only lasted long enough to save his life once.
And unfortunately, Nakta, the meteorite that fell from space, the Civilization Devourer, was a much more powerful being than Marduk.
Why is it unfortunate that it’s stronger than him… isn’t it simple?
Like Marduk who made the choice he shouldn’t have of attacking Dam Han-ul’s mind, Nakta also attacked Dam Han-ul’s mind, but being stronger than Marduk, it was larger and thus more easily detected in Dam Han-ul’s inner world.
[Th-this is…?]
Nakta instinctively sensed that something was very wrong as soon as it entered Dam Han-ul’s mental world.
It was because it was so different and larger than the mental worlds of the trivial mortals it had seen until now.
And this overwhelming presence that can be felt even without knowing…
[This is… something’s wrong…!! I, I must get out…!!]
As if its long life of taking countless lives wasn’t in vain, Nakta quickly noticed and tried to escape, but…
[I, I can’t get out…?!]
While it was free to enter, it wasn’t free to leave.
At the moment when Nakta, now isolated, realized something was seriously wrong and fell into panic, sweating profusely,
Flinch!
[Hmm…?]
‘It’ discovered Nakta.
The same luck that happened with Marduk didn’t occur. That was a miracle that happened because its gaze didn’t properly detect Marduk.
Once Dam Han-ul’s inner self directly gazed at Nakta, unless it allowed it, the life and death of the mind that entered his inner world was simply up to its thoughts.
[Ah… Aah…!]
Just by being looked at, the once-great Nakta began to die.
Two eyes containing the flowing universe floating in the sky of a space so vast its end couldn’t even be guessed gazed at Nakta.
Just from the pressure of the gaze being directed, just from the overwhelming presence of a being whose size couldn’t even be guessed, Nakta’s body was slowly being crushed, split, and torn apart.
[Keu, eueu, eueuuk…!!!]
Its whole body let out painful screams, and blood flowed endlessly from every mouth and eye.
[Kieeeeek-!!!!]
And Nakta, having thrown away reason in the face of the fear of death and annihilation as overwhelming as the pain, began to flee with all its might.
‘I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live-.’
Had such a powerful being ever harbored a single desire so desperately and strongly before?
But what use is fleeing, when it’s no different from Sun Wukong playing in the palm of Buddha’s hand anyway.
Even such a desperate wish was of no use.
[Is it a bug…?]
Nakta was smaller than even a single finger joint.
Of course, it was nothing compared to Marduk… but it was just that small. About the size of a single bug.
[Hmm, bugs should be squashed.]
Despite Nakta’s desperate efforts to flee, the hand slowly stretched out, effortlessly catching up with those desperate struggles.
Just as a stork’s one step is larger than a running sparrow,
‘I want to live…! I don’t want to die…! I want to live…! I don’t want to die…! I want to live…! I don’t want to die…! I want to live…! I don’t want to die…!’
In the hand that fell,
[I don’t want to d…!!!]
Kwajik!
It was crushed mercilessly easily.
Thus, the long life of Nakta, who was called the Civilization Devourer and destroyed countless civilizations and reaped countless lives, came to a full stop.
It was an empty end unbecoming of its great reputation.

Nakta, who had called itself the Civilization Devourer Nakta and emitted a terrifying presence, suddenly died.
What is this…? Was it actually terminally ill and chose Earth as its burial place…?
It didn’t seem like that kind of atmosphere…
“Ooh… I need to wash up first…”
By the way, is it because it’s an alien life form that the blood is a different color?
It’s my first time seeing purple blood in real life… Haha. I’m seeing this for the first time like this…
Hmm, and I feel a bit strange… What is this?
Something feels like it’s been resolved…
“Teacher!! Are you alright?!”
“Wh-what happened, Han-ul?!”
“Ah.”
I, who had been standing still and thinking blankly, finally came to my senses at the voices from behind and turned around.
“Did that strange thing die?!”
“A-are you really okay!?”
“Whoa, you startled me.”
When did they all rush over like this?!
By the way, they’re incredibly fast? As expected of top-tier superhumans… I thought they’d be running over, but they’ve already arrived!
“Well… It seems to have been resolved well. I don’t know why, but it suddenly died.”
Hmm, I thought it would be resolved simply since I saw it in my fortune-telling, but to think it would end so anticlimactically…
It looked like an EX-rank level monster… To die so anticlimactically for some unknown reason, the world is truly mysterious.
Even S-rank gives the feeling of being almost invincible, but for a being even more amazing than that to go like this, I mean.
‘Ah, come to think of it, I’ve seen something like this before.’
That cult leader who showed many impressive appearances in various ways… He also showed a powerful appearance as an EX-rank, but then suddenly fled in a dying state and later only his head was found…
It’s really hard to understand.
Well, it’s not like you can know everything. Even though I’m a fortune-teller, there’s a lot I don’t know, right?
By the way…
“Jamukha, do you want this? I don’t think I’d have any use for it even if I took it.”
I should dispose of this thing that suddenly died.
“Huh? No, are you just giving away such a thing??”
“Yes, well… It’s of no use to me anyway, right? I’m not even a superhuman.”
Even if I took it, I’d probably just hang it up as decoration at home.
And it feels a bit off to claim I killed it, doesn’t it? When everyone here doesn’t even know how this thing died.
“Just take good care of it properly. That’s enough, right?”
What would a fortune-teller who’s not even a superhuman do with such a thing? Instead, I can get something from the Great Khan. Something more useful to me.
Anyway, I have enough money to spend lavishly for a lifetime, so why be greedy for such a thing? For me, it’s just a troublesome, useless thing. I mean the corpse of that monster Nakta.
Instead, for the necromancer Great Khan, wouldn’t it be a corpse more valuable than anything? So he’ll value it more than me who doesn’t even know its value, and then won’t he naturally give a good reward?
“Ah, no, you’re being so considerate…?”
Jamukha seemed to be surprised for a moment, then after thinking for a while, nodded his head.
“There’s no reason to refuse such goodwill… I’ll gratefully accept it. Instead… I’ll definitely give you a proper reward.”
“That would be fine. Haha, I’ll look forward to it?”
“Hahaha… I’ll think carefully and choose. You can look forward to it.”
Hmm… But please don’t give too shocking a reward… I handed it over to avoid trouble, so I decline if it creates more troublesome things…
Anyway, even though it’s a bit of an anticlimactic ending, this resolves the goal I came all the way to Mongolia for.
Then is it time… to go back home…
“Yes… I’ve been away for a long time…”
It’s not like I’m homesick or anything,
But I’m not going to stay away from home forever, so now it’s time to go back home and work…
Ah, the good times are over.
Hmm, but I guess it’s better than before since I’ve come up with a few excuses to avoid work?
And I’ve played around traveling abroad for over a month, so that’s enough.
“Let’s go back, guys.”
Because I’ve got things to do at home now.
“You haven’t forgotten the payment, right?”
“Ah.”
“Fufu… I’m looking forward to it. I’ll call you sometime, so join me then.”
“Okay…”
Ah, one more thing to do…
Anyway, like that, after making connections with the Great Khan and simply resolving the calamity I saw in my prophetic dream, I returned home again with the guys who came with me.
It was truly a return after a long time.
