Chapter 276

Hahoetal Returns (1)
Deep in the abyss.
The being carefully observed the creature that suddenly entered its territory.
Even though the concept of time was meaningless to it, the feeling of boredom was not completely absent.
It is natural to be interested in the Irregular who suddenly appears in the meantime.
“Could it be God? A god stuck in a place like this. Hmm, then…”
First of all, just maintaining your own shape in this space is enough to pass.
The status of not only the body but also the existence was excellent.
I tried to play around with my growing curiosity.
Woooow—
A wave of rippling chaos swept everywhere.
Nevertheless, the creature, Buncheonhoeju, did not blink an eye.
It just flows away naturally, as if the surrounding space itself has been distorted.
“…Is this that kind of world? It’s annoying. “It’s just easier to be a laissez-faire type.”
Meanwhile, Beoncheonhoeju was calmly muttering something.
However, the being who ruled this place was also not interested in what the other person said.
It’s been a long time since it stopped caring about mortal personalities and egos.
So there was no hesitation at all in the next action.
-Ahh— my lord! My God—
your property, your slave, and your toy.
He took out a soul that had been copied and stored and pushed it into the opponent’s body.
If all goes well and I can get my hands on that physical terminal, wouldn’t it be quicker to try again what I failed to do a while ago?
‘Anyway, people called gods are self-righteous just like in any other world.’
Beoncheonhoeju narrowed his eyes at him.
“Tsk, what a useless move.”
-Quaaaagh—!
I tore the foreign matter that had entered my body into pieces.
And at the same time, a pair of huge wings, each over 3 meters long, appeared behind his back.
Paaaat—
the glow of the sunset immediately spreads, pushing away the chaos and abyss that covered all directions.
It was a foreign divine power that could not be seen in this world.
Twisting—
The space around him squirmed as if he was uncomfortable.
The souls of the torn slaves were not a big problem since there were still many copies left anyway.
It was that unpleasant energy that touched its heart.
How dare you use divine power in your own domain?
But while I was so angry, I also felt curious.
Divine power that has never been seen before.
That must have been the energy of a foreign god, not from Outerica.
However, that creature was not borrowing it from someone, but was holding it in on its own and then releasing it.
That meant that the other person was a divine being.
Still, he said that he had the minimum qualifications to face him.
-Kwaa— Ah… God…
In the meantime, the cloned soul cried out for itself until the end and then crumbled and disappeared, but it didn’t even pay attention to it.
“God… it looks like he was kicked out of that position.” The space
shook
and reacted violently, as if it had touched something.
No matter how bad things are, God is God.
Just by expressing one’s emotions, the space was distorted by the intimidation.
However, despite the turbulence, Beoncheonhoeju continued speaking without blinking.
“How about we talk for a little while before we get excited? If I have to come out like that, I can just go back like this.”
And then, with eyes filled with a strange light, I quietly looked at the thing that had sunk into the depths.
He didn’t like the people called gods, but that being imprisoned here… may have been in the past, but now he couldn’t be called a proper god.
It seemed like he had been kicked out of the throne room and sealed a long time ago.
Also, that means—.
‘It means that he also has something to regret. ‘I can eat this.’
It was clear that doing so would be of great help in completing the work here.
Of course, the problem was that the place I entered was like a prison and a trash can in this dimension.
‘It looks like it’s going to take longer than expected. But…’
His brow furrowed slightly as he quietly looked around.
The energy contained in the torrent of chaotic energy sweeping everywhere felt subtly familiar.
‘…Hmm. Is it because of my mood?’
But it soon went unnoticed.
In the first place, the world’s waste was similar everywhere, and there was no time to focus on such things right now.
In the abyss that covers every direction.
The darkness of two worlds met.
***
Seonangdang of Dawn, an internet site that was rapidly increasing its membership.
The site, which had been growing at a breakneck pace since its inception, has recently been slowing down in growth.
The fact that all those who were eligible to join had already joined played a part, but the long disappearance of the person who was at the center of them also had a significant impact.
‘Well, it’s a fan site so there’s nothing we can do.’
They are all people who are impressed by the activities of a dark hero called ‘Hahoetal’ and have come together, but it is shocking that the person in question suddenly disappeared.
Thanks to this, agitation was slowly spreading even among those who had consistently prayed for his return.
〈There’s talk about Hahoetal dying in Japan?〉
-(Link) Blood-stained, broken Hahoetal masks and robes are also posted as authentication. Is this real?
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
. -How long has it been since you used the Hahoetal submersible? I think it’s been over a week. Hasn’t it been about two weeks? I can’t believe it’s really…
-No, not even a month. They’re talking shit about taking a short break;;
└Honestly, if I had finished everything in Japan and gone on a dive, I would have taken a break, but doesn’t it feel like King Lee’s fault that I stopped midway without even finishing everything?
└ㅜㅜ There is no sighting information even in Korea. Even if he’s not dead, isn’t he really hurt somewhere?
└Ah, if he’s still alive, report him as alive hahaha I’ll take a break so I’ll take a break ㅠㅠ The
unforgiving judgment of criminals and the improved domestic security as a result. In addition, there were more people cheering for him than expected, perhaps thanks to his active overseas activities and exposure to the media.
So much so that you can easily find people who follow him not only on the fan site but also in other communities.
Naturally, the number of people who associated it with Heinz II ‘Phantom’, who had recently begun to make a name for himself, also began to increase.
Of course, I am not simply doubting the relationship between the two….
〈Copycat suckers are annoying〉
-Who is it thanks to that Korea has become so peaceful now? I feel disillusioned when I see the guy wearing the opera ghost mask imitating the Hahoe mask and changing his attitude like a ghost when he is active.
There were quite a few people who were overly immersed and perceived it as if they were in competition with each other.
Those who received direct help from Hahoetal or benefited from it in some way.
However, not many people responded favorably to that response.
-It’s not like that. They thought it was time to cut down on the Hahoe mask.
-No, but has Hahoetal patented something? No matter who it is, it should have become a little safer thanks to you. With everything,
isn’t it okay to just do a good job, whether it’s a yellow cow or a black cow?
-Thank you for your efforts so far, but honestly, I feel a little uneasy about being a warlock… haha;
└Oh, me too. Could it be that the dark magic went out of control somewhere and it was a submarine? If things continue like this, he might suddenly pop out as a villain.
└Wow.. that might really be true;
└Oh, it’s disgusting to see these guys making comments. In fact,
the reason why Hahoetal was able to gain so much support in the first place was all thanks to his contribution to public security, and ‘Opera House’, a fan site for Phantom that was recently opened and started to grow, is also actively opposing it. I went out.
‘Well, Heinz’s fandom is growing faster than I thought. I guess it’s because I worked without worrying about cameras from the beginning.’
Although it was impossible to teleport like Hans in the blink of an eye, Heinz’s range of activities was not that narrow.
If we limit it to Seoul, we have the mobility to get anywhere in just a few minutes.
In addition, he had nothing to do with the dark magic that many people find disturbing, and he was able to completely hide anything that could be suspected of being a vampire by “denying existence,” and most of all….
〈Seoul Dark Hero Phantom Legend Photo〉
〈1st. 1Phantom Longan Reception Prayer Day 5〉
〈Crazy hahaha, look at this, he’s
so handsome〉 Unlike Hans, he had a very outstanding appearance, which also had a huge impact.
The trigger was a photo that happened to be taken right after the referee.
The problem was that his beauty was so overwhelming that not even an opera mask could cover it.
‘That was definitely… amazing even to me.’
A single photo became a hot topic on the Internet.
It was Heinz II looking back at the photographer, wearing a stylish, high-quality suit and a white half-mask under the pouring moonlight.
No matter how much they did not stop people from taking pictures, they did not pose for them separately, but the person who took the picture happened to be an industry worker, so even though he zoomed in from a considerable distance, the scene looked like a pictorial.
‘Plus, it seems like there’s a little bit of “delusion” beyond the photo.’
It seems that as Heinz’s status rose, the stronger effect naturally affected the photography.
Even though I got it right after dealing with Alpha, I almost forgot about it because I had no use for it.
Perhaps because of this, the criminals scattered around him felt like props that highlighted his dangerous yet deadly charm.
‘I’m sure it can’t help but be compared in many ways to the dark wizard Hahoetal, who is surrounded tightly.’
Perhaps that is the reason why the popularity of the demonic man Heinz II quickly spread, especially among women.
It’s a sad but unavoidable reality that lookism is rampant.
‘Well, since we’re both born, it doesn’t matter what happens. If we were to go all out at this point, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to form a secret organization and operate?’
The name is roughly… How about Masquerade?
This is because they brought together all the other avatars, including Heinrich…
‘No, let’s think about that later.’
He reorganized his thoughts that had been trying to escape somewhere else and focused on his upcoming schedule.
Because an important plan was just around the corner.
Shhhhh—
In the silence, the sound of the wind cutting fiercely passed through the surroundings.
A night where even the moonlight suffocates.
The waves of the sea, which had been dimly reflected from below, soon turned into a colorful night view of a downtown area.
A fantasy city beautifully illuminated with bright colors.
‘Let’s see. The location is…’
At a certain point above Shanghai, the city we arrived at after crossing the sea.
[…Found it.]
Hans coolly recited after using the “Eye of the Abyss” to determine the exact location of the target.
Amidst incredible security that would have been missed if there had been no prior information.
A familiar figure was spotted inside.
‘Ryulryeongja, head of the East Asia branch of Beoncheonhoe.’
Now there was no need to hesitate any longer.
If he was at their level, he would have already figured out that he had appeared in Shanghai.
From now on, it was a quick decision.
Hans’ body descends faster than it has ever flown.
And finally.
Kwaaaaang—!
The barrier blocking the front was shattered and a loud explosion erupted.
It was a spectacular celebration signaling the revival of Hahoe Mask.
***
An office with gorgeous decorations and a night view.
“Whoa.”
After finishing his discussion with the secretary of the North American branch, the ruler sank deeply into his chair.
Then, he turned towards the window, stretched his right hand to the side, and held the teacup in his hand.
Slurp—
a leisurely break with a wonderful night view.
As he was looking out the window blankly, his eyes suddenly turned to his right arm and he naturally frowned.
At the tips of his five fingers were long, thin metal wires that extended from the back of his neck and were divided into several branches.
This was a state-of-the-art magic tool that forcibly moved the body according to the instructions created by the doctor for the person who lost his arm in the mental world of Hahoetal.
‘Hahoe mask…’ As
he slowly twitched his fingers while looking at it, he became lost in thought.
An archenemy of the Society who has not appeared in Japan for some time after disappearing from view.
At this point, there was no doubt that something had gone wrong with that guy.
I guess that means it wasn’t a unilateral hemorrhage.
When he thought about that, his frowning expression softened slightly.
‘We are also preparing step by step measures against him. If cooperation with the secretary is properly completed this time, it will be for sure…’
However.
Isn’t there an old saying like that?
Even tigers come when you tell them to.
Even a tiger would be like that, much less if it were the demon king of a world…
Beep—! Beep—! Beep—!
It may not be that strange if it comes to mind just by thinking about it.
-Lord Ruler! It’s a big deal! We’re in Shanghai’s airspace right now…!
The alarm device installed at the base beeps loudly.
An emergency communication came in from a subordinate in the security office.
And at the same time.
〈High-energy approach warning!〉
〈High-energy approach warning!〉
〈High-energy approach warning!〉
〈……〉
A blood-red message appeared in his left artificial eye.
Clink—!
The teacup fell from his hand and broke loudly, but he stood up with the help of an assistive device and did not even glance at it.
No, I couldn’t give it to you.
Kwaaaaang—!
This was followed immediately by a harsh impact that felt like the building was shaking.
[Kkekekeke— It’s been such a long time.]
I was just thinking about it a little while ago.
Because the voice that flowed from the bottomless pit froze the space.
