The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 254

Episode 254: A photo of

a small apartment in the capital city of Brasilia

! click-!!

Police officers who responded to the report stood blocking the crowd of reporters and citizens, and investigators were examining the body and the scene of the incident.

“This is ridiculous. Still, he is one of the strongest people in the world. “Have you been living a life like this?”

“After all, he is also human. “I guess I can’t live alone.”

“Whew… that’s bittersweet.”

Suddenly –

it was that time.

They looked at each other in surprise as the cigarette in their mouths was cut off and fell to the floor.

“I don’t think cigarettes were used at the scene of the incident.”

“ah…! “I’m sorry.”

The investigator hurriedly put the remaining cigarette in his pocket and lowered his head.

“I think we will take charge of this place from now on.”

“But…”

“It also contains consent forms for investigation from each country’s government and permission from the Brazilian government.”

Den Howl appeared in front of them and said, handing a bundle of documents to the investigator.

“Hmm… I understand. “Everyone withdraw!”

The investigator who was checking the documents cleared his throat and hurriedly began to leave the room.

They muttered as they looked at the crowds that appeared there, including Den Howl.

“I never thought all eight stars… would all gather together. “I heard that everyone has been active since the last monster wave.”

“Isn’t it a big incident? They must be suspicious too. “Of course, I thought I would live my life being hailed as a hero… but the reality is that I end up having to look at the corpses of my colleagues who have been chased away by people.”

The subordinate spoke to the investigator who was going down the stairs while covering his mouth.

“It’s true that they helped put an end to Carnival. But the problem is the victims created in the process.”

When all the monsters of the carnival disappeared and an era of peace came, at first people praised them.

But as soon as it seemed like they had escaped the monster’s threat for a while, people began to look for other goals one by one.

The result was Michael.

“Just thinking about the pantheon is enough to make people stand up. “You thought nothing of people’s lives just to make a profit.”

“But the people who caused the incident are all dead. And they were actually the ones protecting the citizens.”

“Then wasn’t Michael the one protecting people? “Despite the fact that he became a half-asshole while trying to prevent what his status did, public opinion made him an enemy.”

“That’s right…”

“The government just needed prey. Citizens will be too busy biting and tearing at their prey to pay attention to what they are doing.”

“What are you doing?”

“There are many countries that fell into anarchy after Carnival. It is a land without an owner. Do you think the great powers would leave such a place in peace? “I’m sure they’re just waiting to eat one more.”

The investigator said, relighting a cigarette that had been cut by Den’s magic a moment ago.

“It’s been so long since the Carnival ended… The destroyed cities haven’t been properly restored yet, and they’re already targeting someone else’s land?”

“Because it’s no one else’s land. It’s free land without an owner. And the guys above won’t do anything if it’s free.”

He seemed to have a bitter taste in his mouth and threw away the cigarette he was smoking.

“How on earth can war end?”

“Man, would you be a god if you knew that?”

The investigator slapped his subordinate on the back of the head and smiled bitterly.

“Hey there! Can’t you see the police line? “It is an incident scene, so you must not enter without permission.”

The reporters camped at the entrance of the building were not visible, perhaps because the Eight Ministry of Defense had taken care of it.

However, the investigator shouted at the man who was trying to climb the stairs past him in the empty alley.

“If you want to know how to end war, ask me.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? “Are you even a god?”

The investigator frowned and asked back at the man looking back at him.

“uh.”

“…??”

The investigator belatedly realized the identity of the man who answered him with a blank expression.

“That person…!!”

“Right? Namgung, the strongest of the eight kingdoms! “I heard you disappeared… How did you get here?”

The subordinate also shouted at him with a surprised expression.

“That’s not important. How did I not recognize that person? …It was like a different person.”

As an investigator, he was good at remembering people’s faces. Moreover, there was no way he could not recognize the face of a famous person like Namgoong.

However, he did not notice Namgung’s presence.

Even though his face did not change and there were no significant external changes.

Rather, it was a more fundamental problem.

“God…”

Those words, which the investigator could have dismissed as a joke, somehow kept lingering in his mouth.

It was ridiculous, but somehow I wondered if what he said was the reason.

The reason he didn’t recognize Namgoong was because he didn’t feel like a human.

Gulp –

The investigator swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the stairs Namgung had climbed without realizing it.

“It looks like it’s going to explode even if something happens…”

Kugggggg…

Dark clouds suddenly started to form in the sunny sky.

* * *

“Based on the evidence around it, it is suicide.”

“Are you sure?”

“Even though we are like this, we are forming a group to kill people. “I don’t like killing people, but I know how to kill people.”

Ninagawa Erika said as she covered Michael’s head with a cloth again.

“But isn’t it strange? Michael committed suicide… we know better than anyone else that he is not the kind of person to do such a thing.”

Roxanne answered in disbelief.

“It only takes a moment for a person to break down. “There is nothing in this world that cannot be broken, no matter how hard it is.”

“If it is truly a suicide, we are also responsible for his death. “Because we failed to properly protect him after the carnival ended.”

“If you’re not a child, what have you got to protect? “We were all in the same situation.”

“It’s not the same situation. Plus, it was probably harder than fighting at a carnival. “Because he was being beaten by people he couldn’t defeat.”

“Well… you can’t win over the public. “It may be insignificant, but it is more necessary than anything else.”

bang-!!!

“shit…!! Summoning the carnival’s monsters is just a natural procedure that happens when the door closes. It’s just that the connector of the six-way bridge came into the gap… Why should I be sacrificed?”

Alec Traman shouted, slamming his fist on the table.

“Now it feels like people are living there.”

It was then.

The eyes of the revelators were drawn to the voice coming from below.

“After all, humans are supposed to fight and fight with each other. Until now, we were so united that we couldn’t get along. is not it?”

“It’s all you…”

“It’s been a while. “Things don’t look very good to share the joy of reunion.”

Namgung waved his hand lightly at them.

“How did you get here?”

“Whenever I turn on the TV, it’s all over the place with Michael’s news, so it’s even weirder not knowing.”

“No, that’s not what I meant. “It’s like a person who you don’t know if is alive or dead suddenly appears in a place like this.”

Alec Traman answered harshly, but could not hide the joy on his face.

“And what about you guys?”

“We came after receiving a call from Joo Joo-in. “It seems he was investigating Michael’s whereabouts.”

“Is it a cause of death?”

Namgung nodded, calling their names as if he was surprised by their answers.

“Such a guy. “I’m keeping an eye on places that people don’t pay attention to.”

“I can’t actually see the person involved.”

“Maybe he went looking for the next piece. “There’s no need to do that now that I’m here.”

Namgung lifted the covering cloth, looked at Michael’s face, and let out a low sigh.

“I killed the connector of the six-way bridge.”

“Could it be… that’s why Michael died too?”

Erica asked with a trembling voice.

If that were true, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Michael’s death was caused by Namgung.

“no. Just because the phase disappears doesn’t mean the Revelator dies. However… the power granted by the phase will disappear.”

“It’s a shame. In the final battle, he lost an arm and both legs were broken, rendering him unable to use them properly. To lose the power of the Revelator in such a situation…”

“It’s worth committing suicide. “The guy who used to freely jump through space suddenly found it difficult to even leave his own living room.”

Everyone nodded as if they agreed with Alec’s words.

“well? This guy is from the slums of Brazil. “Would this guy who came up here after rolling in the mud end his life so easily?”

“So you’re saying it was murder?”

“Now we have to find out whether it’s true or not. “If it is a murder, we need to confirm whether it was caused by a person or another entity.”

“What if it’s something else…?”

“Are you talking about status?”

“that’s right.”

Namgung examined Michael’s body.

I wondered if the body had any residual energy, but unfortunately, it was strangely clean.

“It seems like they’re saying it was done by a person. “Like trying to hide the truth.”

‘If it’s really murder, I think the only person who would do such a bizarre thing is Woo… but he would have definitely gone to see Ran, so he wouldn’t have done such a useless thing. Are there other aspects involved?’

However, since the other Aspects were also concentrating on blocking Wu’s attack, they could not have easily done something like this.

‘Who is it?’

Namgung frowned slightly.

“I don’t know who it is, but I think this question was thrown to test me.”

He stood up.

“After the festival ends, there are always news reports about the trouble caused by the leftover trash. The carnival is over, but the cleanup still remains. We have to get it done.”

“…cleaning up afterward?”

“It’s about finding out who this guy is who did such trashy things at will.”

“Are you saying you can find the culprit? how?”

“I will ask you directly.”

“…Are you saying you want to use necromancy?”

“no.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm….

As Namgung released his hand, a chain emitting turquoise light spilled onto the floor.

“We will bring Michael back to life.”

“…!!!”

Everyone was shocked by Namgung’s words.

“Now wait a minute. Bringing the dead back to life? “It’s not something a human can do.”

Erica spoke to him as if she couldn’t believe it, but at that moment, Namgung’s chain wrapped around Michael and she couldn’t say anything more.

“You…”

Looking at her trembling eyes, Namgoong raised his finger and brought it to her lips as if to tell her to stop.

▶ The owner of the ghost gate opens the gate to heaven.

But I knew it even without hearing the answer.

That he is now doing something that humans cannot do.
