Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 523

Episode 523:

Bloody Summit.

I have thought about that.

It was something I came up with spontaneously, so it was far from meticulous.

‘Sometimes this method catches you off guard.’

After finishing the rough explanation, the faces of Park Seong-jin, Seo Sang-ik, and Lee Jae-jun hardened.

It is a reckless and reckless plan.

Those thoughts were evident on his face.

Nevertheless.

“What you said cannot be taken lightly.”

Lee Jae-jun, who attended as acting president of the association, muttered softly.

“I agree.”

Park Seong-jin also receives a lot of trust from players.

“What should I do?”

Lim Ah-young is also evaluated as a genius who will surpass Yoo Ah-young.

“I will follow suit.”

Seo Sang-ik is also in charge of supply procurement support.

I didn’t give a negative opinion that hurt my mouth.

Many of New Korea’s major players, including the president of the association, were slandered.

Because now I know that I can’t survive without Taehyun.

“What will be the date of the meeting? “It’s not like the Chinese side is making a fuss and saying they will come directly to demand an investigation into the truth.”

It was a natural reaction since contact between China’s SSS-level players and Wulin’s three Sogaju had been lost.

Lee Jae-jun added that they are counterattacking and disrupting the Chinese side that is trying to invade right now.

Tuk-tuk.

Taehyun tapped the table and counted the time.

I checked the countdown imprinted on the status window.

“It will be in a week.”

The four players’ jaws dropped in a short period of time.

“There is nothing to worry about. “I plan to restore the top forces, including guild leader Yoo Ah-young.”

Four players seriously injured.

He declared that he would take charge of their regenerative treatment.

“If you say so… I guess I can focus on research at Alchemist.”

Since it was difficult to conduct research on the aliens in time, Seo Sang-ik’s face straightened slightly.

This is because the experimental subjects were of such ‘high quality’ that an experiment that had made no progress for several years found a clue.

“I have something else to ask of the guild leader.”

“…?”

“The aurors of the imperial people and the aurors of the martial people. And I would like you to see how the players react when their magical powers collide.”

“Is it because of the gate?”

“yes. It would be better to set it back a week as well. Is that possible?”

“…There must be a lot to prepare.”

“The same goes for everyone else.”

Taehyun ordered rough things for the stage in a week.

Seo Sang-ik left, Park Seong-jin left, and Lim Ah-young left.

Jaejun Lee held Taehyun’s hand.

“I’m glad Taehyun Kim is back.”

The first gate break that occurred immediately after the regression.

He was a B-rank player when we first met him, but he has now become an S-rank player.

“You don’t call me arrogant.”

“I just happened to be assisting the president of the association. “He knows his own skills well.”

The plan is completed by lowering oneself for the greater good and elevating the other person.

It was truly pleasing to see that.

“You won’t be disappointed.”

“I’m not looking forward to it. “I will do my best to help.”

When Jaejun Lee left, the only people left were Taehyun and Tolkien.

[I can feel the great trust in all of them.]

Tolkien, who had been watching the entire time except when explaining about the Divine Beast, opened his mouth.

[My brother is very busy here too… Thanks to that, I’m going to get caught up in it too.]

“Tolkien. “We don’t have much time left.”

[As expected… is there a limit?]

“Yes. “Check the status window.”

Tolkien approached and placed his hand on Taehyun’s body.

[Uhm….]

A groaning sound came out.

[This is definitely… not good.]

“… That’s right.”

Taehyun chuckled and checked his status window.

As he grew to C grade, his stats increased significantly.

At first, I was extremely satisfied with the quick recovery from the aftereffects of the crash.

But think about that for a moment.

The moment I checked the numbers engraved on the status window, my thoughts changed.

Countdown: 492 hours 48 minutes 39 seconds… 38 seconds…

[When did it start?]

“720 hours.”

[Oh my…]

Tolkien groaned.

The 30-day period has already been reduced by 10 days.

[It must be because the power of the fallen brother is restored.]

Each time you recover a higher level of power, the time you can stay on Earth quickly decreases.

So we have no choice but to hurry.

Taehyun in the US and China. That is why the meeting where all the major powers of the empire and martial arts gathered was set a week later.

[If I regain any more strength than this, even a week will be difficult.]

However, with my current strength, it is difficult to reliably suppress the strong players of the Empire and the Murim.

If there are more guys like Namgung So-hwi, it will be New Korea that gets pushed back.

“Tolkien. “There is no war where everything is perfect.”

The turf war was like that and the battle in Sanggye was like that.

“One week left. Please do the best you can. “That’s enough.”

[i get it. Let me risk my honor as a Meister. More than that, what happens after the countdown? From the looks of it, Michael’s divine power can be felt in the engraved spell…]

Taehyun shrugged his shoulders.

Since this is my first time experiencing this, there is no way I would know.

I just made a few guesses.

In the current situation, if Michael’s divine power forces the spell.

“Forced return or permanent downfall. “I guess that’s about it.”

[…Either way is the worst.]

If they are forced to return, it means they have not finished the work in Middle-Earth, and if they suffer permanent destruction, future racial wars will be over.

With the exception of a few, the relationship was suppressed by force, so there was a high probability that the princes of the lower world would betray Taehyeon.

perhaps.

[I’m glad I arrived after some time.]

Five years have passed since I crossed the gate.

Meanwhile, as heterogeneous forces from other dimensions flow in, the Earth’s existence has increased significantly.

I will be able to withstand the clash of energies that will come in a week.

[As I said earlier, there is ample possibility. Of course, before that, it will be important to see how far we can raise the existence of this planet. My brother’s troubles will not be easy either.]

People always have a tendency to rely on those who are stronger than themselves.

The same goes for New Korea’s players.

Taehyun didn’t want his colleagues to be like that.

‘I don’t know when I’ll be able to return from the underworld again.’

I am no longer a player whose goal is to explore the Abyss.

The Grand Duke follows the will of the King of the Underworld and ends the territorial war and leads the tribal war.

Unlike the King of Hades, who turned back time several times with the power of reincarnation.

There was only one chance given.

A war in which defeat is more likely than victory.

So even more so.

‘It will take time, but Middle Earth needs to play its role.’

I wanted to do my best to help them survive in a changing world.

“Don’t tell the others. “If I had to find out, it would only be disturbing.”

[A Meister’s mouth is heavier than steel.]

“Be reassuring.”

I didn’t know at the time.

How much lighter a dwarf’s mouth can become after drinking alcohol.

How much the dwarf’s fate was also changed by meeting Taehyeon.

* * *

Over the past five years, Earth’s civilization has made rapid progress.

In particular, research on magic stones has progressed in depth, and regenerative treatments have become available to the general public.

This was fortunate in the absence of a saint who could use the SSS grade skill ‘ultra-fast regeneration’.

I entered the intensive care unit, which showed significant differences from what I remembered.

Im Ah-young was next to Yoo Ah-young, who was lying in a transparent coffin.

“Open your expression. “It’s not serious enough for you to worry about.”

“….”

“How long do you plan on acting like this?”

Honestly, I thought their relationship would have progressed by now.

Taehyun clicked his tongue without realizing it.

“Don’t make it difficult for those who love you by fighting over your sisters’ pride.”

“…It’s not that simple.”

“At a time like this. “It’s not that difficult.”

“Haa….”

Lim Ah-young exhaled.

Half-sisters Yoo Ah-young and Lim A-young.

It’s a more trivial story than you might think.

A conglomerate that was infertile adopted a talented adoptive daughter to carry on the succession, but later, the adoptive daughter, who miraculously had a child, was robbed of everything.

Afterwards, the adoptive daughter, who left home on her own, became the head of the Four Great Guilds and built her own empire, and the newly born child grew up well and became a representative player of New Korea and the group’s successor.

These were things that Taehyun had observed in his past life.

of course.

‘A lot has changed.’

A time when I growled whenever I met someone because the accumulated emotions were not resolved.

In the past, I’ve watched even SS-rank players.

Due to the variable of themselves, both of them became SSS level players.

The parents of the two women, who were ordinary awakened people, died of chronic illness over the past five years.

The relationship between the two is closer to love and hate rather than enmity.

“Situations like this will happen often. “You never know who might be lying here.”

In order to move forward, we need to resolve it clearly.

He told me that otherwise, emotional residue would remain and I would end up regretting it.

Lim Ah-young, who had been listening silently, turned around.

She stopped in front of the doorway leading outside.

“Kim Tae-hyun.”

“…?”

“you. “He looks like an old man.”

Her steps became distant.

‘You’re an old man… Even if I give you this advice…’

I looked at Yoo Ah-young, who was lying as if dead, trying to control my burning emotions.

“How long are you going to lie down?”

That younger brother and that older sister.

Taehyun sighed.

“I know you’re awake. “If you want, I can wake you up with a skill.”

“….”

Yoo Ah-young’s motionless body seemed to twitch, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Chi-ik-.

The incubator door opened and she smiled.

“It’s a story that makes me cringe. “I missed the right time to open my eyes.”

“You have to joke too harshly. “Did you think I wouldn’t know that I woke up a day ago?”

He is anxiously waiting for Vice Guild Leader Jeong Han-soo to wake up.

Yoo Ah-young’s pupils shook at Tae-hyeon’s words.

She is a woman who always hates work, both then and now.

She’s a girl who likes to have fun like this.

‘In the meantime, he must have been ranked No. 1 in the world and quietly performed the difficult tasks.’

So, I decided to accept her complaint this once.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Hmm~ That’s unusually kind of you. What happened to the turf war?”

The only players who know about the turf war are Yoo Ah-young and Asisat Ebi.

Spares for Archduke Rosaria and Hazzard.

Because of them, Taehyun was able to leave Earth’s affairs with peace of mind.

“It’s done. “Otherwise, how did you get here?”

“Then…”

“A tribal war will begin.”

“…I’m in the middle of a mountain.”

Yoo Ah-young’s face frowned.

Taehyun said he had something to ask.

“Ask me anything. “The strongest player.”

Yoo Ah-young’s mischievous smile.

“Kasim Jort and Min Ji-hong.”

Taehyun asked about the whereabouts of the demons who will be a variable in the integration of Middle-earth.

* * *

Cody Cruz became corrupted by accepting the power of Lucifer.

The four demons he sent.

Among them, Liu Shibo was killed by Yoo Ah-young, and Lee Jeong-jae was captured alive by Lim A-young and is being imprisoned.

“So Kasim Jort opened the gate that connected to the empire, and Min Ji-hong opened the gate that connected to Wulin.”

“that’s right.”

They said they tortured the imprisoned Lee Jeong-jae and checked him with a cross.

She declared that it was solid information.

“There’s something I don’t understand. It’s true that those guys are strong, but there are guys in the Empire and Wulin that are just as good. “It won’t be a variable, right?”

“I know.”

“You’re not saying we should join hands with those guys to make up for our lack of power, are we?”

“Well, that wouldn’t be bad either.”

“In that case, I’d rather you…”

Taehyun shook his head.

“The moment the dimensional gate was opened. “It is likely that they will become different from before.”

“….”

“The dimensional gate opened five years ago. “Didn’t you say they never showed up during that time?”

Yoo Ah-young confirmed.

It was confirmed by Lee Jeong-jae that they opened the gate, but they have not been seen at all until now.

Therefore, it was assumed that he had crossed over to the Empire or Wulin or died in the process of opening the gate.

“Probably not.”

Rather, it is highly likely that its presence has increased further.

Unlike Lee Jeong-jae and Liu Sbo, who were failures, they told us how tenacious the lives of their anti-aircraft contractors were.

“So…you’re still alive and they’re waiting for a chance?”

“yes.”

The next great power to be born on Earth will not be Yoo Ah-young.

“There’s a good chance it will be those guys.”
