Please Stop The Pope

“Crazy.”

Kim In-wook could only be shocked as he watched the scene unfolding on the monitor.

And he wasn’t the only one who was shocked.

-?

-?

-Wow, damn…

-Is that magic???

-Crazy

-Ah…

The chat regeneration rate momentarily stopped.

The viewers who had been chatting at a level that was impossible to follow with the eyes all stopped chatting for a moment as if they were electrocuted.

No, to be precise, it would be more accurate to say that they “had no choice but to stop.”

Because in front of the ruthless and overwhelming violence perpetrated on the screen, everyone was equal.

That sight was not in touch with reality, but rather with movies or dramas.

How many people could confidently call that reality?

-Is this also fabricated?

-How could this be fabricated? In the first place, was there even a hunter in Korea who could create such a situation? LOL

-Wow… damn.

-Is this an Irregular?

-Isn’t this basically at the level of a tactical nuke???

Countless giant spears were stuck on the vast plain.

The spears deeply embedded in the ground were each emitting light in all directions while holding a sacred glow.

It was too terrifying to be called sacred, and too sacred to be called terrifying.

And above all, that scene was all the more shocking because it was created by Kim In-wook’s own brother.

‘…A true Irregular.’

It was his brother who had slapped the back of his head just this morning, saying they should cook soybean paste stew for dinner.

When his brother, who had returned after 5 years, said he was an Irregular himself, it was hard to believe, but he believed him.

Because his brother had no reason to lie about such a thing.

There were even stories in the world that the government had manipulated his brother’s Irregular rank, but he didn’t believe such conspiracy theories.

However, apart from belief, “realizing” that his brother was an Irregular seemed to be a matter of a different dimension.

The power of an Irregular-rank returner, which had only been heard through rumors, was at a level that was burdensome even for Kim In-wook, who was somewhat accustomed to players.

‘It’s incomparable.’

Even if he brought the top hunters in Korea, could they possibly compare to his brother?

Kim In-wook quickly turned it over in his mind, but he couldn’t even dare to make a comparison.

To that extent, his brother’s power was not only overwhelming, but also enough to evoke thrill and fear.

Even Lee Se-hee, known as Korea’s top magic-type player, would not come close to the power his brother had just demonstrated.

‘A miracle.’

Why did that word suddenly cross his mind?

And that miracle was changing numerous things even at this very moment.

-Those who still call this fabricated after seeing this really have intelligence issues

-Are we now an Irregular-possessing country too?

-China has 4, and you’re happy to have only 1? Tsk tsk

-Go back to your country, please

-What’s the use of an Irregular who doesn’t even get properly measured?

-I’m going to apply for admission to the Limen Church.

-But am I the only one who’s scared…? Can an Awakener like that be controlled?

Power that far surpasses imagination cannot be denied.

As one can see from the chat window, there was no one left to raise questions.

A true Irregular in name and reality.

Perhaps the reason his brother insisted on a live broadcast was because of this reaction?

‘…Putting everything else aside.’

One thing was certain: many things would really change after this live broadcast ended.

And at the center of that change would be none other than his brother, Kim Shi Yu.

Right now, attention was not focused on him due to the nationwide disaster situation, but it was clear that once this situation was resolved, everyone’s attention would naturally be focused on him.

Just as Kim In-wook was caught up in numerous emotions while looking at the screen.

-Huh?

-Didn’t something move over there just now?

-The orc is still alive???

-It survived after being hit like that?

The chat began to scroll down quickly, and Kim In-wook hurriedly examined the screen.

As the viewers said, the giant orc, which he thought would surely be dead, was getting up.

However, a moment later.

Kwaaaaaaang-!

A spear that flew in from somewhere pierced the orc’s wide chest, and the orc lowered its head while grasping the shaft of the white spear that had penetrated its body.

The silence that followed.

The camera briefly showed the orc, whose breath had definitely been cut off, and then captured Kim Shi Yu’s figure again.

‘Of course.’

Kim In-wook couldn’t help but chuckle as he saw Kim Shi Yu shaking his hands in annoyance.

Honestly, I didn’t expect the Great Monarch bastard to not die in one hit.

Although the intensity of had weakened due to the causality restriction, I didn’t think it would be able to withstand it once.

As soon as I confirmed that it had endured it, I threw one of the holy spears stuck around and killed it, but the process itself wasn’t very satisfactory.

I had planned to overwhelm it with overwhelming power from the beginning.

“No matter how I think about it, the ending is disappointing.”

“That’s not true, Your Holiness. You have shown a truly great sight. And you even showed a human side, so there couldn’t be a more perfect result than this.”

“That may be true, but this is a matter of pride. No, it’s really frustrating, you know? I tried to send it off in one hit and make a strong impression, but wow, it actually endured that.”

To conclude, the operation was very successful.

Everything that happened after the Great Monarch died by my hands went according to my expectations.

The orcs, who had awakened their instincts that the Great Monarch had been suppressing, began fighting among tribes again, naturally causing the monster wave to dissipate.

The major guilds, led by the Jeongak Alliance, suggested that it would be good to take this opportunity to reclaim some of the lost lands, but that opinion quickly faded away.

Because there were serious threats spreading right before their eyes, which were more urgent than such goals that weren’t even pressing.

“It’s not like I don’t want to go and help.”

I also wanted to go and provide support if I could.

However.

[As the causality allocated to you has reached its limit, the use of divine power will be partially restricted for 24 hours in Earth time.]

I had already given up on support due to the tyranny of this system, which could only be described as “sage time.”

I had no intention of deliberately testing the system when it was heavily implying that I should restrain myself.

“By the way, may I ask you something I’m personally curious about?”

I nodded while taking a sip of water placed on the desk at Min-soo’s question.

“Ask away.”

“It seemed like you could have sufficiently reduced the number of orcs with the power you demonstrated, Your Holiness, but it looked like you intentionally let the orcs go. Did I see it wrong?”

“Min-soo hyung, you certainly have an eye for detail. You saw it correctly.”

No matter how much causality had reached its limit, as Min-soo said, there was plenty of time to reduce the number of orcs.

If I had just thrown a few holy spears at the orcs gathered in a mob, the number would have definitely decreased.

Nevertheless, the reason I didn’t reduce the number of orcs was very simple.

“Orcs are highly intelligent magical beasts that form a tribal society. They are bastards born with extreme belligerence, but at least they are equipped with learning abilities. Moreover, despite being magical beasts, they are very ruthless bastards who mercilessly hunt other magical beasts.”

That is also a unique habit they possess because they belong to the Ein race among magical beasts.

In fact, according to a survey conducted in Eden, there were extremely few magical beasts other than orcs around orc settlements.

In other words, it also meant that if they were kept alive moderately, they could serve as excellent magical beast suppressants.

In the case of Earth, it would be more accurate to express them as monsters.

“Since there are no plans to reclaim all the lost lands right away anyway, there’s no need to reduce the excellent suppression resources. They probably won’t even look this way for the time being after directly experiencing my wrath today.”

Orcs also feel fear.

Should I say it’s selective anger management disorder or an instinctive survival desire?

Unless another unique individual like the Great Monarch appears, they will return to their original habitat.

And they will multiply their forces while hunting the surrounding magical beasts, as they have done so far.

“Although it’s a temporary measure.”

The reason there hasn’t been a large-scale disturbance of magical beasts in the lost lands so far is probably also due to the food chain among magical beasts.

Ironically, the food chain among magical beasts was quite well-established because North Korea collapsed without much resistance.

At least, that’s what I thought after compiling the information I heard from Minister Yoo Seon-ho and Team Leader Kim.

So I had no intention of breaking that balance right away.

“Indeed, as expected of Your Holiness. I had no idea you were thinking so deeply.”

“Isn’t our denomination the same? Although it would be nice to reclaim the lost lands, there are many things that need immediate attention… Well, something like that.”

For example, the competition to secure divine-type players that will begin in earnest after this incident.

Fortunately, I properly made an impression today.

Thousands of sacred spears falling from the sky.

What could be a more stimulating motivational video for players who will choose the divine path?

Anyway.

As I was having a pleasant conversation with Min-soo in the battalion commander’s office of the air battalion.

Knock, knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the door of the battalion commander’s office.

“Come in.”

Then, Minister Yoo Seon-ho soon appeared.

As soon as he entered the battalion commander’s office, Minister Yoo Seon-ho smiled softly and said,

“Were you resting comfortably?”

“Thanks to your consideration, I was resting well. Ah, and how did the thing I requested earlier go?”

“I issued a 2-week vacation certificate to the helicopter pilots and took measures for them to leave work immediately. They asked me to convey their gratitude to you, Shi Yu.”

“I’m the one who’s grateful. If it weren’t for them…”

I don’t even want to imagine.

I might have had to run around like a dog in this beautiful autumn weather. And of course, I wouldn’t have been able to film.

“Isn’t it the job of this old man to strictly reward and punish? Hoho.”

“An old man, you say. It sounds very awkward when you say that, Minister.”

“Are you gilding this old man’s face? The hero who directly saved Korea is praising me, oh my, I don’t know what to do with myself.”

“I only did what I had to do.”

“Humility is the greatest virtue.”

Minister Yoo Seon-ho sat in front of me with a benevolent smile.

And I looked at Minister Yoo Seon-ho like that and slowly raised the corner of my mouth.

The reason why Min-soo and I remained here despite successfully completing the operation.

“Shall we start talking now?”

“Alright. The president told me to meet your desires as much as possible, Shi Yu, so feel free to speak.”

“Oh my, that’s music to my ears. Haha!”

Finally, the time has come to make a proper profit.
