My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 46
Beoncheonhoe (4)
Druruk—
I opened the window of my room and looked outside.
People are busy moving around in the morning.
They were ordinary people living their daily lives.
Perhaps it was because of my frequent exposure to the outside world through my avatar, but at some point I no longer felt fear of the outside world.
Although I still felt a psychological burden to go outside, I was now able to open the window and get some fresh air without any problem.
I looked outside blankly and gathered my thoughts.
〈Individual Information〉
-Individual name: Heinz II
-Race: Vampire (true blood)
-Common characteristics: 「Mind Herb」, 「Persona」, 「Mysterious Index」
-Individual characteristics: 「Blood clan (true blood)」 「Mixed blood evolution」 「Mystery of Blood」 「Purified Blood Seal」 「Acceleration」 「Super Regeneration」 「Seeing Through」 「Concealment」 「Invisibility」
– Special Features: It has continued to evolve by collecting vampire factors from various dimensions. As a predator, it ignores some of the hostile abilities of other vampires and exerts instinctive intimidation. The excess energy that had recently flowed in was stored in the blood essence formed in the body.
After the battle at the villa, Heinz had to suffer from overeating for a while.
‘In a way, it’s only natural since the blood was sucked from not only the executives but also the vampires who were on guard.’
Even if the level was low, it was helpful in collecting new blood-sucking factors and it was a waste to throw it away, so I ate it again and again.
However, no matter how limited the physical constraints are, there are limits to everything.
When it could no longer be contained in the body and reached the point of saturation, the overflowing blood-sucking factors were united and compressed into a single essence with stronger blood control.
‘Although most of them belonged to low-level vampires who only took up a lot of unnecessary space.’
Once inside the body, they evolved under the influence of “mixed-blood evolution,” but their quality was so low that they were difficult to use directly.
It is of little help to Heinz, who has already reached a high level, and it is a waste to throw it away.
What made it possible to use it was the newly acquired special skill, “Refined Blood.”
‘What matters is ultimately the thoughts contained in the blood, right? Then the solution is simple. ‘For me.’
Haven’t you already done this?
When receiving the baptism ceremony through Heinrich.
By linking his skills with blood control, he extracts the thoughtless vampire factor from the blood essence of ‘Heinz II’.
The skill and result obtained after such an attempt was “Refined Blood Tablet.”
The essence of vampire evolution without any thoughts.
When the “purified blood tablets” created in this way enter the bodies of other vampires, they will serve as a catalyst for the evolution of their vampire factors.
Since it is only a catalyst, you can see a definite effect with just a small amount.
Of course, the more you administer, the greater the change will be and the faster the mutation rate will be.
‘There are no side effects, though.’
Actually, if you think about it, it wasn’t even a side effect.
In any case, since the process of ‘granting’ and ‘inheriting’ blood was carried out, it was only a very, very minor issue in which the person receiving the inheritance was subordinate to the person giving the blood.
It was no big deal to a vampire!
‘It’s something all vampires are familiar with. The target just changes.’
In exchange for loyalty, you gain certain power.
It was not a bad story for the hardliners who were confused by the empty positions of executives.
Aren’t they people who thirst for power to the point of even thinking about predating their own kind?
Those who accept it like that are embraced, they insist on the existing system, and those who rebel are made into the material of wasted blood.
It was a very ideal structure.
‘…what? This seems no different from what the hardliners were trying to do… Hmm, no. ‘Because I’m getting rid of those who try to confuse society.’
In the meantime, there is only a slight benefit.
A very sound plan, no different from a bounty hunter.
After laughing heartily, I closed the window again, entered the room, and sat down in front of the computer.
On the screen, Internet search results for a case were displayed.
-Terrorist incident at Seoul Station in August 20XX.
It was where he lost his family.
The corners of his mouth, which had been meaninglessly giggling, became stiff and the corners of his mouth drooped.
My heart sank coldly.
It was a confusing time.
Superhumans who gained strength from another world and came back are crowded in one place, but there are no monsters or demon kings on Earth that they can use their power on.
All there are are superhumans in the same situation as them.
However, because the situations are the same and the values are not the same, disputes arose everywhere.
The only thing that can prove oneself there is strength.
A stronger power was the justice and order that could carry out one’s claims, and it was everything in this world.
In the process, countless innocent people were sacrificed, but those who were powerless had no choice but to endure it.
It was just an accident and something that couldn’t be helped.
Because there was nothing I could do.
So did I.
bang-!
Until before.
A crack appeared in the desk from a light strike.
After awakening to “Avatar,” I have been blindly pursuing power.
Because I never wanted to feel that helpless moment again.
“Persona” only helped you avoid being buried in your emotions and eating you away, and did not completely eliminate them.
That feeling remained in my heart the whole time.
So, I poured all that accumulated energy into judging the ‘villains’ with nowhere to go but anger and resentment.
The accident at that time was a terrorist attack whose motives were unknown, and the terrorist exploded in front of his eyes immediately after the incident.
Therefore, even after gaining power, he had no place to express his anger and revenge.
I was thinking that the only thing I could do right now was to kill the villains that stood out.
“…I thought so. But… it was there? “The culprit?”
The stiff expression relaxed and the corners of the mouth gently curved upward again.
A cruel smile appeared on his face again.
I kept laughing without realizing it.
‘Oh, I see.’
And then I realized it again.
‘I’ve already been broken for a long time.’
Otherwise, there would be no way to laugh like this in a situation like this.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Laughter continued to leak out.
I was laughing so hard that not only my saliva but also tears and snot were flowing, but I couldn’t stop laughing.
“Haa… haa….”
It’s pleasant.
After laughing a lot, my mind became clearer than ever.
Once I had a goal, I became motivated like never before.
“Hey~ Is this what happens? After all, if you do good things, you will be blessed, right? “As we beat up the bad guys, the background comes out like this.”
I wiped away my tears and thought about it.
How can I fuck these guys up?
Haven’t you already done it a few times?
Now that I have gained a lot of experience, I feel like I can do better.
‘If they were the ones to back down so easily, they wouldn’t have been in that mess for so long. This time he went into hiding, but he will definitely stick his head out again.’
At that time, I definitely needed to be ready to grab hold of everything.
We are prepared to firmly root out any potential culprits.
‘Because they seem to be active all over the world. I don’t even know how big of a blow it is to have them stop their activities in Korea right away.’
Knock knock knock.
To organize my thoughts, I sat with my legs crossed and tapped my fingers on the desk.
When things got this big, there were definitely limits to individual strength.
In order to deal with those who had already formed a huge force, this side also needed the help of this force.
‘A force that can continuously track these guys, gather information, and hold them back in case of emergency.’
And that role could be played to some extent by the clan.
In the future, it will be more helpful if we provide support in various ways to increase our power and increase our size by subjugating other organizations.
Coincidentally, he had a lot of money stolen from other worlds and criminal organizations.
‘It’s a fairly shady organization, so they’ll take care of money laundering. Now that I think about it, it would be okay to indirectly control the guys who traded gold bars at the time through a blood alliance. ‘It’s a shame to take them under your direct command, but they seem to be quite capable as a subordinate organization.’
I glanced at the lottery papers still stored in one corner of the room.
It’s not urgent right now, so you can use that later.
However, as in this fight, what mattered in the end was the existence of a strong person with absolute power.
‘Hans and Heinz… and Heinrich are also growing steadily. But…’ It’s
not enough.
This time, they clashed without any preparations for this side, and they retreated after suffering heavy damage, but we don’t know what will happen next time.
They were already aware of Hans and Heinz, and based on the information they had obtained so far, the Buncheonhoe was not a simple organization.
In order to handle the scope of their activities and deal with them reliably, more powerful people were needed.
A being beyond their expectations.
Even ten bodies are not enough.
But am I not someone who can have ten bodies?
If your body lacks it, you can increase it.
‘For that, karma is needed. I can’t afford to leisurely develop my unique skills. In order to accumulate karma, you need influence on this world.’
So, how about creating a big event that could have an impact on this world?
For example…
“War… or something?”
After spitting out the words, I frowned for a moment.
Is it really okay to cross that line?
Are you blinded only by your own desires and ready to abandon your humanity and sacrifice innocent people to pursue power?
I’m not sure yet.
I knew it was a strange thing, but my anger and desire for revenge wasn’t particularly great.
Rather, the excitement and anticipation felt even greater.
‘Huh… I’m not in my right mind either.’
An opponent who is valid no matter what he does and who is worthy of pouring out all his malice.
However, there is an opponent that cannot be easily broken and must be fought with all one’s might.
…In my current state of mind, war was not something I particularly wanted to do.
‘Then hold off for now. A way to impact the world on a war-like scale without sacrificing innocent lives.’
There is no way such a convenient method exists…
“…there is?”
Coincidentally, I had just the right material at my fingertips.
“The devil and the hero.”
An evil demon king who leads the forces of evil and threatens the continent.
A righteous warrior who receives support from humanity and fights against it.
It was a cliché, a classic among classics.
Without realizing it, a chuckle escaped me.
‘That’s roughly the framework. I need to think about the scenario a bit. I think detailed information is needed and it’s important to strike a good balance in the middle. ‘Can I do it?’
The plan that immediately came to mind was not that great.
When Hans leads an evil organization and attacks corrupt nobles, Heinrich punishes them and becomes a hero.
Its repetition.
And wouldn’t it be a good thing for the continent if all the evil organizations were gathered together and destroyed in the climax?
One thing to keep in mind is that as the scale is so large, if the project is carried out sloppily, the sacrifice of the private sector is bound to increase.
There will be countless uncontrolled variables.
However, perhaps because the choice of war had become much more refined, I did not feel as much resistance as before.
The results could have been very different depending on our efforts.
‘The moment I rationalize the inevitable sacrifice, I will become no different from them. ‘I have no choice but to try my best.’
You have to find a way.
It wasn’t a problem to worry about right away.
As it was a long-term plan, it required a lot of preparation and could not be implemented right away.
Hans was still far from being able to work against the continent.
To do so, the priority would be to find the last remaining ‘Fragment of the Immortal King’.
‘There is enough time. Since they also suffered great damage this time, they will be quiet for at least a few years. The time difference with this world is 10 to 1. It is not too late to proceed calmly.’
It is impossible to stop them from operating overseas right now.
It would be better to build up your strength in the meantime.
“Huh…”
Another laugh escaped me without me knowing.
For some reason, I felt happy again.
“Okay… whatever your purpose is or whatever you want. “I will do everything in my power to hinder you.”
If you have any complaints, find out.
Even if we focus on Outerica for the time being, it will take a lot of time.
Hans needed to find the fragments of the Immortal King while avoiding the attention of the church, and Heinrich needed to be recognized by the church and climb to a higher level.
‘Heinz will need to build an intelligence organization to grasp information on the continent.’
And at that moment, people who were very suitable for that organization came to mind.
‘I guess I’ll have to raise ‘Harley’ in the meantime. Find a way to become stronger as quickly as possible. ‘Isn’t there a way to use ‘adaptation’?
There was no need to rush.
All you have to do is take things one step at a time.
As if preparing for a play.
“The stage is Outerica and the lead role is me. And the audience is from all over the continent. The scale is a bit big.”
The release date is yet to be determined…
but it won’t take that long.
