My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 73

#73

New Order (3)

Bang—! Bang bang—!

“What a mess! Why is Hahoe Mask here? “These days, I’m busy traveling all over Seoul to catch violent criminals!”

“Shut up and put away the gun! Do you think something like that would work on that guy?”

Since their main job was to obtain money through petty robberies, they believed that they were not worthy of a visit from Hahoetal.

So, the current situation was very unfair, but the incident had already happened and all directions were blocked, so there was no place to escape.

However, you can’t just sit still and suffer.

“Ha!”

thud-!

One of them rushed forward like a thunderbolt, stepped on the ground, and took all the impact into his fist and stabbed Hahoetal.

At the same time, his colleagues also launched a joint attack with all their might.

Wow!

The black protective shield fluttered as the attack filled with enormous energy came from all directions, but that was all.

Rather, the darkness rising from the floor enveloped their entire bodies, making it impossible for them to move.

“Ugh….”

“Damn it!”

No, not only them, but the entire place was suddenly surrounded by squishy darkness.

A landscape that seems to have copied the abyss of hell.

And in front of them, a masked being radiating black energy from all over…

just stared at them, just like the first time.

“Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuues of us

?

They had the same thought at the same time as they felt a shadow covering their faces.

…The ‘Devil King’ has descended on Earth.

“That’s exactly what I said! Seniors! That doesn’t seem right! do. Then I opened my eyes…”

The drinking session with Taesan did not end until dawn.

I tried to lie down after eating enough and stretching out, but I guess I was feeling resentful from drinking alcohol for the first time in a long time and didn’t even think about stopping.

‘If you’re just needlessly strong…!’

While I was contemplating whether I should pretend to stretch out first, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

There was a problem you were thinking about, and isn’t this a good opportunity to easily brush it off no matter what you say?

‘I also needed ideas from many people.’

I was looking for an opportunity, and when Taesan stopped talking, I immediately started talking as if it was no big deal.

“Hey Taesan. But I’m thinking of writing a novel as a hobby these days, right?”

It was a random comment, but it wasn’t a very important issue as alcohol was already taking over my brain.

“oh? novel? What are you doing? So, what is it about?”

“I’m thinking of writing a story about an ordinary demon lord and a hero…”

“It’s good to have something classic. “Didn’t I also write a novel once?”

There was a time when I was in middle school, when my sensitivity was at its peak, and I had a kid writing a notebook all day long, saying he wanted to write a novel.

Of course, I don’t know what will happen to that abyss of lost property filled with the blood of a middle school student now, but the experience back then may be of some help.

I immediately added a short explanation.

The basic plot was that the protagonist sets out on a journey to defeat the evil demon king who has been resurrected on the continent and becomes a hero by resolving the events caused by the demon king.

“But even though it’s a novel, it’s a bit difficult to write about good people being harmed.”

“Hmm… well, that’s what you think.”

As I myself was in the victim’s position, Taesan seemed to understand without saying anything.

“So, I wish there was an episode where I could gain notoriety as a demon lord while only defeating bad guys, but I can’t come up with any ideas.”

“I see. “It’s strange that he picks his opponents and kills them even though he’s an evil demon lord.”

“I’m also thinking about a lot of things. “What do you think I should do?”

“Hmm… I can’t think of anything right away. I think I need to think about it. Anyway, it’s just the plotting stage, right? “So have you decided on names for all the characters?”

“uh? Uh… yet?”

I thought it would be okay to just tell him the name, but I was reluctant to go into too much detail, so I just vaguely explained it.

“I don’t know anything else, but the main character and the demon lord must be named something impactful and cool. “You can never use a name like Michael John Hans!”

flinch!

“Huh…hmm. After all, wouldn’t it be strange if the Demon King’s name was something like Hans?”

“Of course! The demon lord’s name is Hans! “It’s the worst!”

“Uh… I think I’ll be okay. “Does it feel like a twist?”

“The twist is just so boring! “Even if you’re not a local extra and don’t have any impact, you’re nothing!”

Taesan strongly argued with an excited face.

It looked as if a switch had been pressed while alcohol was present.

“Look, the devil has just appeared! But people around me said, ‘Demon King Hans has appeared! ‘Run away!’ What if it were like this? Again, ‘Hahaha! I am Hans, the Demon King!’ How about doing it? It’s so out of shape! “It’s nothing but a laughing stock!”

“Is that so?”

I hadn’t thought much about it until now, but as I listened to that appealing voice, my heart began to shake.

‘No, now that I think about it, it’s all true, right?’

Hans, the Immortal King of Outerica.

The name Hans was so common that it could be said that there was at least one person in each village.

In fact, it lacks a bit of weight to be called the absolute evil of the continent.

‘The problem is that the church already knows that name…’ My

thin ears fluttered mercilessly, but I couldn’t change the name now.

“If you really like that name, use it as a nickname. Are you a weakling? “Let’s give the official name something cool.”

“oh? For example?”

“Okay, Hans, let’s see. Hans… Hmm… Yes! How about ‘Hannibal Strauss’? “Isn’t it cool?”

The guy snorted and became engrossed, as if his passion from middle school had been revived.

The problem is that I also thought the name wasn’t bad.

It was as if the alcohol I had been drinking non-stop accumulated little by little, and while I was a little drunk, Taesan’s passion took over and the adolescent emotions within me also burned up.

…Yes, actually, it was natural.

Because Hans’ words and actions that made me kick off the blanket were also a part of me.

“And as an official of the Demon King’s army, he becomes something like the Four Heavenly Kings…”

“Then if you do it this way…”

So we drank and had passionate discussions all night long.

***

‘shit! Zenjaang—!’

There was a figure running through the pitch-black darkness.

He kept swearing under his breath, looked back, and ran out of breath to minimize the presence of others as much as possible.

‘How could such a monster! That’s not level 7! Is it really level 8? ‘It wasn’t just a rumor?’

All of his colleagues who shared the same cause were killed by him alone.

If it weren’t for his unique skill specializing in escape, he would not have been able to escape and would have been oxidized along with him.

‘Damn it…! I thought freedom had finally come with Alpha gone! ‘Someone even worse than that appears!’

Although he had enjoyed some rights as a hardliner in Gamma, he longed for freedom more than those things.

Living in an organization and worrying about what others thought was quite stressful.

‘That’s why they moved quickly, taking advantage of the collapse of the hardliners.’

All those who had been summoned to the villa on ‘that day’ died and disappeared.

He was lucky enough to avoid that situation, but he decided that this was an opportunity and immediately became independent, leading his followers.

‘Heterosis? Are you in agreement with the moderates? That means being bound by even more discipline than before! ‘I can’t live that kind of life even if I die!’

It was absolutely terrifying to be subordinate to the new Lord and not be able to absorb blood at will.

‘If you’re at my level, you have the ability to live more freely, so why should I?’

These days, it is said that it is difficult to breathe in Seoul because of the Hahoe masks, so they have been hiding in the countryside and continuing their activities little by little…

How did they know their location?

The Lord of Heterosis visited in person today.

For the first time in a while, we went to a tasting party where people of each taste were kidnapped and enjoyed.

The result after that was the current situation.

All of his subordinates who followed him were reduced to ashes, and only he was hiding and running away.

‘If I spread this distance, I won’t be able to chase you anymore, right?’

Even using unique skills was a limitation.

His ability to temporarily prevent awareness of existence itself was so effective that it lasted only a short time.

When activated to its full potential, even those with the sharpest senses will not be able to recognize the person in front of them and will be able to ignore the barrier and escape, making it the number one contributor to keeping him alive until now.

“Whoa… whoa… what the fuck is this?”

He ran in a tense state, doing his best to maximize the effectiveness of the skill, so he sat down and took a moment to catch his breath.

Although he succeeded in escaping, there wasn’t much left for him.

Just as I was getting up from my seat to take a deep breath and move again…

“I was here.”

A cold voice froze his thoughts.

“Uh…huh? how…!”

“It’s an amazing ability. To disappear from existence in an instant. “I was quite embarrassed because I thought I had missed it until it showed up here again.”

Heinz II suddenly appeared next to him and slowly approached him with a calm expression.

“You sensed where I appeared…? “I moved at least 10 kilometers?”

While activating a unique skill, no traces such as footprints are left behind.

That means they found this place right away from where he disappeared without any clues…

“What’s the problem with that?”

However, Heinz simply responded that it was no big deal.

It has continued to evolve and has a transcendental sense that includes “seeing through,” so there is no way it can miss an opponent it has already encountered once from this distance.

“Ha…hahaha.”

The other person, who didn’t know that fact, just continued to shed empty laughter.

“Even if I ask you to save me… it won’t be of any use, right?”

“Yes, you are already too late.”

Even if subordinated by force, it was a style that would cause various problems and make things tiring.

The ability itself seemed good, but it was not the type of talent that Heinz wanted, as he wanted Heterosis to run smoothly.

“But we can’t just accept it… Wow!”

Fuuuk—

Just as he was about to muster up the strength to resist, Heinz’s hand blade had already pierced his heart and lodged deep in his heart.

“Ugh, why is it like this….”

“Because that’s the new order. “If you don’t follow, we’ll just exclude you.”

Heinz answered the opponent’s last question in a calm voice as his blood was absorbed and his opponent gradually turned to ash.

The expression on his face that he wanted to protest something disappeared and the surroundings were suddenly filled with silence.

‘This side is all sorted out too. ‘I guess I’ll just head back now.’

It was a busy day today too.

Feeling the dawn coming, Heinz took off towards Seoul.

***

“Have you been there? “Thank you for your hard work, Rod.”

“okay. “Are there any other problems?”

“There are no immediate problems. It’s thanks to Lord’s attention to many things these days. Now, it can be said that heterosis has been fully established within the clan.”

“I see…”

The morning when the sun rises.

Heinz arrived at the office where Jin So-ran was and sank into the chair.

It has been more than three weeks since Heterosis was founded.

Thanks to his strong stamina and running day and night, he now has the self-reliance to handle most problems on his own.

He has already taken care of issues that could become big problems, so from now on he will only have to take action directly to solve problems that his subordinates cannot solve.

‘That means the work that needs to be done on Earth is almost done.’

The stabilization of Heterosis, Heinz’s top priority, has just been completed.

The work to increase influence in the underworld through clan alliances is progressing smoothly, so it can be said that the original goal has been exceeded.

In Seoul now… a new order was being established through Hans and Heinz.

And it will soon spread throughout Korea.

‘Now Heinz can focus on Outerica.’

It was a time when a separate force was needed in this world to progress the scenario.

Because he was the best person to gather information from the dark.

I may already have experience swallowing up an entire organization, but I have confidence that I can do better this time.

“Then I’ll just go. “I’ll be resting for a while, so if anything happens, please contact me separately.”

“yes? “Are you planning on not coming out now?”

“I have personal work to do. “If I need anything, I’ll come then. You can take care of the rest.”

That’s why I put you there.

Heinz II left the office with a lighter step.

Enjoying the feeling of a boss with talented subordinates…
