My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 163

#163

Hahoetal Rise (3)

Inside a laboratory filled with all kinds of high-tech equipment.

“Okay, it’s done. Now open your eyes! A new world awaits you!”

A man’s high-pitched, growling voice rang loudly.

And a man in his thirties, who was lying on the operating table as if he had just woken up, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

“Woohohoho! As expected, these are very revolutionary eyes! Haha~ I’m jealous. I’m jealous. You are so lucky! Actually, that’s what I was planning to write first…”

Ignoring the chattering voices, the ruler raised his upper body and looked around.

As expected, the limitation on the left side of the viewing angle that occurred due to the incident two months ago has disappeared.

“I was going to cut out one of my eyes and run instead, but I ended up getting caught by Hoeju right before that? How irritated the owner was! “My head still hurts when I think about how I got scolded back then.”

I was concerned about the ‘Doctor’ who was talking to himself without answering, but it was also true that I gained new eyes thanks to him, so he didn’t say anything.

‘The cause was not simple blindness, but damage to the spiritual body, so no amount of eye transplantation would help…’ It was

literally a permanent loss that could not be explained medically.

But that problem could also be solved by bypassing it in another way.

“…Of course, it would be a waste since unique skills are revealed through the eyes! Still, one side remained, and it was an opportunity to make my dream come true. Reform and evolution are the ultimate values that humanity should pursue!”

Jing- Jing-

Every time I shifted the focus of my eyes while making that exaggerated fuss, a slight vibration was felt in the newly implanted eyeball.

However, the mechanical sound made by the camera’s aperture moving was so quiet that it was felt only by the person and was not noticeable to the outside world.

He quietly looked at the corners of his eyes through a mirror placed on one side.

The left pupil, which was extravagant in contrast to the ordinary black eye, had a subtle blue circle on the rim, and the iris inside was filled with geometric patterns, glowing mysteriously.

This ultimate prosthetic eye, created by combining mechanical engineering and magic engineering, is a magic tool that has the shape of an eyeball and is located in the eye socket, but its mechanism is completely different from that of a real eye.

As he was admiring his new eyes…

chin! Whilick—!

As someone grabbed my shoulder, my vision turned around and my eyes were filled with sparkling madness.

The doctor, who was right next to me, thrust his bearded face in a scary way and grabbed the ruler’s head tightly.

He then stretched out one hand, opened his left eye, where the prosthetic eye had been implanted, wide open, and began to look again.

“Hey~ As expected, the technology in the Calicas dimension is revolutionary, right? I should have gone to that dimension! “What a tragedy it is that there is no other way to access it than this indirectly!”

The ruler sighed when he saw him talking and spitting in his face again.

A middle-aged Westerner wearing a shabby lab coat and messy gray-brown hair.

Although he had a shabby appearance, this man was an opponent that could never be taken lightly.

The fact that he was a first-generation returnee who was caught up in the first transfer to another world was only a secondary factor, because he was a genius of the century who led the technological prowess of the current Buncheonhoe.

The work of gathering and improving the mysteries of each dimension, including magic and sorcery, as well as alchemy and magic engineering, would not have been able to even begin without that devilish brain and his “eyes of truth.”

“Ughhhhh! I’m glad I have a friend who returned home with this prosthetic eye, right? “I heard it’s extremely expensive, even at that level!”

“okay. “For such a precious item… Thank you again, Doctor.”

The fact that something like this existed on Earth meant that there was someone who brought it.

A returnee who spent all his hard-earned money right before his return to get new eyes.

Of course, I am no longer a person of this world now.

“So what? “My lord, I have one question for you!”

“…yes.”

Anyway, thinking that this man’s mood was difficult to follow, the ruler reluctantly answered.

“The one who made you like that… haha?”

“It’s Hahoe Mask.”

“anyway! You mean that smile mask? I was very interested. “I did a little research out of curiosity, and there are a lot of interesting sounds!”

The doctor, who does not listen to others, spoke in an excited tone to himself.

“You know that Korea is the first time we have been destroyed like this? Of course, plan failures are common in other countries as well, but what if the foundation itself was completely blown away? ah! That’s not what you’re saying, is it? “As long as the owner of the company agrees, I’m not in a position to say anything!”

A smiling face as always.

But those clear eyes were shining so brightly that it felt dangerous.

“So when do you plan to start your activities in Korea again? Of course, it’s not urgent, so there’s no problem if you don’t move right away. Still, shouldn’t we do something?”

The corner of the ruler’s eyes twitched at that subtle question filled with desire.

The damaged eye problem was resolved this time, but it was only two months ago that it became a living corpse in the fight against Hahoetal.

At that time, I had suffered a serious injury that would take several years to heal, so to be honest, it was difficult for me to breathe right now, and I couldn’t move my legs, so I was in a wheelchair… but the

problem was that the head of the general technology department, Doctor, rather than the head of the East Asia branch, Yulryeongja. The status was higher.

“…Even so, we were planning to prepare in advance. “We can’t leave that place unattended forever, so it would be a good idea to prepare the ground in advance.”

“Wooho! Alright, Ruler! If there is anything I can help with, please let me know. I’m looking forward to the day when good test subjects arrive! “Where should I start?”

And originally, all evil organizations were black corporations.

***

“Phew—that’s refreshing.”

After going to the indoor gym as usual, I took a leisurely shower and sat down on the massage chair, listening to the TV as a radio, and quietly closed my eyes.

As expected, my house was big and I had a lot of money, so I had everything I needed in advance so I didn’t have to go out unnecessarily.

Now that I think about it, it seems like I’ve been confined to the house these days, except for going out through ‘object projection’…

‘Hey, anyway, going out means going out. I go out consistently once a day and meet people. ‘You’re very sociable!’

When I used “object projection,” I had a stronger feeling of moving an avatar rather than myself, Han Seong-hyun, and I decided to put aside the fact that most of the people I met were criminals.

If I think about it any deeper than this, I feel so pitiful.

“Hmm, by the way, that warlock… did you say he was Ahn Seong-jin?”

As I turned up the intensity of the massage chair that was massaging my entire body to the maximum, I thought about the talented person I visited last night.

I couldn’t judge it accurately since he came from a different world, but he was a skill that was slightly below that of an archmage by Outerica standards.

However, considering the characteristics of the subversive black magic, the instantaneous combat power will not be significantly lacking.

‘Of course, what I want is not combat power.’

Fortunately, he did not reject our peaceful scouting offer and readily accepted it.

Now that we have entered into a contract with mutual consent and can exercise even the slightest amount of coercive power, we will no longer dare to betray.

‘Because promises are precious. ‘I don’t think he’s a bad person, so I don’t have any intention of treating him harshly, but I can’t tolerate him doing stupid things.’

I had no intention of asking him to do anything unreasonable anyway.

As long as we do our best to get the information we want, that will be enough.

They were also willing to take care of various things for employee welfare as long as they did a good job.

‘The process of turning the Heavenly Demon Emperor into an undead went smoothly…’

Of course, it was of a different class from the corpses that had been used so far, so it could not be handled carelessly.

In order to properly use the best ingredients, you must invest appropriate time, effort, and resources.

Preliminary work was in progress to turn the body of the Thousand Death Demon Emperor, sent to Outerica’s original ancestor Hans through “Avatar Cloud,” into an undead.

‘If you need undead, you can take them out from here through the heart’s subordinate subspace, so it doesn’t matter. The capacity is not that large, so it may be difficult for a large number of people, but there is no need for large-scale troops on Earth anyway.’

Since it is filled with the highest quality ingredients, it will be reborn as a thousand-year-old devil… or, for short, ‘Salma’, as a very satisfactory one.

Although it was a bit of a negative factor that the soul was damaged as a side effect of the Abyss overdose, undead were people with a few screws missing anyway, so it didn’t matter much.

“Karma points… oh?”

As I sat down on the massage chair and leisurely sorted things out one by one, my eyes widened slightly.

Hans had used ‘Mental Power Strengthening’ worth 640,000 not long before he attacked the imperial capital of Jeroen, but since the scale of what he did afterwards was so large, there were quite a few useful points.

‘The effect of the home theater is definitely good. It’s been so long since I wrote that that it’s already 800,000.’

Even so, it was steadily increasing at a fairly fast rate, an increase that other awakened people would say was ridiculous if they found out.

Now, the number of points needed to strengthen unique skills is 1.2 million.

If you do this, it won’t take long to get to the next step.

-Then shall we move on to the next topic? There’s a lot of talk about it these days, so you’ve probably heard it at least once. It’s about the awakened person called ‘Hahoetal’!

-Ah, that’s right! He is a very talkative person these days.

At that time, stories about him started playing on the TV that I had turned on as a radio.

And as always, the topic quickly started with questions about his identity and continued into a debate about the legitimacy of what he had done so far.

-…Uncontrolled and reckless force is dangerous! The standard of judgment is his own, so this makes sense in a country governed by the rule of law…

-… Of course, it cannot be said that his actions are unconditionally right, but it is clear that he is contributing greatly to the security of our country. Isn’t that something you can quickly figure out just by reading a little bit of overseas news?

-Oh, that’s right. You said there was a big uproar in Japan this time, right? A disaster with hundreds of deaths…

The modern Earth was truly in the midst of chaos.

In Korea alone, the number of superhumans who overcome all kinds of adversity and obstacles and come back with strength reaches 10,000.

It’s impossible to estimate how many there are worldwide.

Fortunately, the forces that want to protect society for various reasons, including family, are stronger, so the current system is maintained, but it is a situation that is no different from a potential time bomb lying around.

‘Not only dark magic users and demons, but also awakened people drunk with power and desire are a formidable risk. Even now, when Hans’ force is suppressing them, which is no different from oppression, such people continue to pop up and if there is no control whatsoever…’

That’s exactly the current situation overseas.

Of course, other countries were not without powerful people, and there were quite a few people like Hans who ruthlessly hunted down criminals.

Among them, there were some who had set up their own crime detection system like the magic of his ministry….

‘Nothing can compare to Hans, who has all the abilities in one body. Plus stealth and mobility.’

In addition, the fact that the land area is small compared to the population also played a significant role.

These various factors combined to create the current peaceful Korea.

“Whoa.”

I got up from my seat and slowly headed to the terrace.

The large garden, which was possible because it was a suburb of Seoul where land is cheap, was neatly and neatly maintained, and the landscaping stones and garden decorations scattered here and there created a quiet atmosphere.

‘Of course, if you step in blindly, you will experience hell.’

This was a magical place filled with crime prevention devices that had been created by mobilizing all the abilities of Hans, Heinz II, Heinrich, and Harris.

The garden ornaments were all mediums of magic, and their arrangement was also decided after careful consideration in accordance with the “Way of the Magician.”

And the person who is at the center of this Cheolongseong is himself.

It was safe to say that as long as I was in here, I was absolutely safe.

‘Okay, now that the Korean side has been roughly sorted out, let’s broaden our horizons.’

It was at this point that I found out that the Beoncheonhoe had been operating in secret for quite some time due to the ‘Salma’ case.

This wouldn’t have been the only case like that.

It was probably not only common in Korea but also around the world.

‘We left it alone for a long time because they withdrew from Korea. Let’s start by expanding our reach to nearby countries.’

You won’t be able to maintain it as regularly as in Korea, but just cleaning it once will have some effect.

A little hassle was worth it just to know that I could fuck them.

However, it is true that I am a bit reluctant to visit overseas countries that are still confusing.

Isn’t this a completely different problem from patrolling with a certain level of stability and taking a light stroll using “object projection”?

‘Hmm… What’s Hans’ schedule now?’

Turning Salma into an undead is scheduled to take a fairly long maturation process, so there is no problem.

It was enough to instruct Olivia in advance about the process of sending out a demon king, which is the basic skill of a demon king, to level up a group of warriors.

‘Hmm, there’s no problem. If there’s a problem, I can call them in right away.’

Because that was the biggest advantage of avatar reverse summoning.

In this way, it was decided that Hahoe Mask would expand overseas.

First of all, let’s go to Japan, which is the closest and has the right size.
