The Crazy Demigod Returns - The Crazy Demigod Returns chapter 83

catastrophe

A life-threatening killer. The slaughter of the dictatorship. Brutal scenes with blood and flesh splattered and bones and organs exposed. Until the death that will come one day.

They were representative examples of many factors that make humans tremble in fear or engulfed in anxiety.

Then, what is the most direct and feared among dogs?

“An unpredictable future. An uncertainty that no one expected.”

What humans fear most is not vague death, visible fear, or the greatness of nature.

It was the uncertainty of the unpredictable future and the consequences that would happen because of it.

There is even a saying that the human desire for improvement is the manifestation of the nature to eliminate such fear.

And now. The hotbed of madness was unfolding in front of Ha Yeon-woo’s eyes.

[I’ll say it again. Around 2:20 this afternoon. Starting with Israel, all existing cubes, including those registered with the Gate Association, are being destroyed and gates are being created indiscriminately. Currently, a war situation has been declared in the coastal area, as well as areas where monsters can penetrate the sea and the sky, and it is recommended to move to a nearby underground bunker or evacuation facility if possible… .]

Guidelines that must have been issued by the Korean government.

In domestic media that can be broadcast on TV or radio, related content has already been repeated for dozens of minutes.

[The authorities say they can’t predict what will happen in the future, implying a complete cut off from other countries… .]

And sparsely added expert opinion in the form of a tone.

Unlike an anchor who broadcasts comfortably in the studio, the situation was not getting serious and was on the way to breaking through the critical point.

This is because the minimum requirements for forming a society were completely broken in just a few hours.

To some extent, people in other countries where Cube existed couldn’t understand watching live programs on TV in an intact building like Ha Yeon-woo.

This is because their countries have already cut off all means of communication.

The dual broadcasting system after the Gate incident or the national safety net with thorough security were useless to Gate and the monsters that appeared indiscriminately.

For the first two hours after the news was delivered, it was possible to understand the situation to some extent through related reports or SNS, but now it is difficult to expect.

As if all related facilities had been destroyed, all channels in the victim country were blocked, and even social media, which had been the latest to inform about the damage, has now been silenced.

The last video Ha Yeon-woo saw was a scene of a giant ant destroying a building in a country in the Middle East.

It was definitely not a creature or monster that I had seen on the Pan continent.

Of course, it is not that there was not one entity seen for the first time among those that appeared on Earth.

For example, the devil-like guy with horns on his head that appeared at the 7th level gate in Yanbian.

most of one. No, it is true that the absolute majority were uniform, as if copying those of the continent.

Apart from all of them, they were so similar that it could be said to be the same as the ants on Earth, so it was right to say that they were manifested here.

Like the origin of the Pan continent monsters, I couldn’t avoid the feeling that native monsters would appear on Earth as well.

The ant is a species that is said to be able to exert a force equal to 50 times its own body.

It is said that, in theory, they would have enough strength to lift a five-ton truck, even if they were only the size of a human.

Not to mention, the size of the giant ant Ha Yeon-woo saw was already about the same as that of a decent medium-sized vehicle.

Such things were filling the entire road in pitch black and knocking down the surrounding buildings casually.

‘Did you expect this? So the cube… .’

The reason why he, who remained on the Pan continent, crossed a certain level and created a cube here.

Could this be the confusion that another one saw?

It’s literally irresistible chaos, not a friendly world that tells you everything like a game, stepping on the steps, increasing the difficulty level and adapting to the new environment.

The fake god’s play that the causal law said.

“In this way… .”

All the things I cared about so far have become useless.

If there is anything that has been saved, it is that they have already privatized enough land among North Korea’s territories.

And it neatly handled the cubes of Korea and China, which are facing each other.

along with Africa and South America. It was that at least two continents were saved as a space for humans to live.

It seems that the role of the cube to collect and seal the gates generated by the unprecedented power was clear, because at least no gates or monsters were created in the area.

Of course, there would be life forms that suddenly became gigantic on Earth, but at least they were better off.

pop-

Ha Yeon-woo, who turned off the TV that kept repeating the same sound, muttered lowly.

“Hell will open.”

I didn’t know when and in what form confusion would come, but it was strangely calm because I expected it.

His family like his father, Bo-ra Jang, or people similar to them, those who assisted him, such as Sang-gi Na and Won-woo Jang, people he couldn’t even remember their faces properly, but people who came within his own fence and their families.

Maybe it was because he saved most of the people he thought he had to save.

Except for the black market’s overseas work and the very few who were dispatched abroad from Sara Autonomous District, no one was hurt.

Since it had already started, it was possible to roughly predict what would happen in the future.

Although the type was different, it was because they had experienced similar disasters a couple of times on the continent.

One time he put an end to it on his own, and the other time he raised it himself.

Looking back, it was different from the time I committed it because I was just alive without any purpose or meaning.

There was a purpose, there was a person to protect, and there was a place to reach.

‘It will die, collapse, rise, and eventually find its place somehow.’

The era will come when you cannot survive unless you are filled with madness.

In contrast to Ha Yeon-woo’s static office, Sara Autonomous District was equally busy.

It was not easy to settle for just surviving.

The black market, the cougars, their families, the people who came to move in and the technicians who worked here.

In the future, the number of people who had no other choice but to live in the Saran Autonomous District was close to 100,000.

Na Sang-gi was busy inside to crack down on the entire autonomous district, including them, and Jang Won-woo was concentrating on grasping the situation outside using the power of a cougar.

‘I didn’t think it was going to be easy… .’

He was a lot more playful than I thought. On the subject of the same life.

“Whoa… .”

The idea is here.

After all, this is just a process.

Now was the time to observe the situation, but calmly grasp the current situation.

* * *

Someone said the 2nd gate incident. Also, it is natural that a plane loaded with a nuclear warhead floated in the sky immediately after what someone called an apocalypse or disaster.

The nuclear powers prepared for the worst, and rightly so.

just two hours.

This was the amount of time it took for half of the countries on Earth to be erased.

Monsters overflowing enough to be called a swarm.

The 4th and 5th tier monsters that normally appeared on Earth appeared as usual, and more 6th tier monsters than ever before were sometimes bosses and sometimes predators.

The muster of the army, the uprising of the awakened, the line of defense, the front.

It made no sense.

Wherever I turned my eyes, the gate was opening its mouth, and the monster that jumped out of there was already slaughter.

It was only human beings in the whole world who put morality and norms in a war that kills and kills.

A gate generated at the entrance to the shelter.

It swallowed not only the awakened people who guarded the place, but also the elderly, women, and children inside, erasing them from the world without a trace.

Whether it’s the scene of a war where the Awakeners are concentrated, a major national facility, or the top of an underground bunker where the head of government is hiding. I didn’t choose the place.

A monster that stretched out like a spider’s web, regardless of city, countryside, wilderness, or grassland.

They ate humans, tore them to death for fun, tore off their heads and played with them like toys, and slaughtered them to preserve new territories.

The predicted future unfolded.

About two hours after the disaster started, the world’s largest mushrooms began to bloom all over the world.

Starting with India, Pakistan, Israel, Russia, England, and finally the United States.

The warhead, which was only a few hundred kilometers long, fell from the sky and filled a radius of tens or hundreds of kilometers with radiation and high heat.

Regardless of whether it was a great power or a military power, the worst and last move chosen was the starting point of full-scale destruction.

Civilization has collapsed, and only the use of animal senses and mana power has become the first and last thing that determines everything in the world.

And even in such a world, there were also forces that survived and rallied, as some expected and others hoped.

* * *

Two weeks after the catastrophe.

Members of the cougar, led by Ha Yeon-woo, were in Jincheon-eup, hundreds of kilometers from Pyongyang.

Kwajik-

The head of the five-meter-high lizard was crushed and drooped.

In the past, he worked with Ha Yeon-woo once, and the team leader, who had been saved, came and reported immediately.

“I think this is the last one.”

“Monsters are not in the area of influence.”

The monsters mentioned here have ‘magic stones’. In other words, existing monsters.

These were things Ha Yeon-woo could look at more sensitively.

Animals and plants that existed on Earth became monsters, roughly named ‘mutant creatures’.

“then… With this, it seems safe to say that a radius of about two hundred kilometers has been neatly cleaned up.”

He nodded at the leader’s reply.

“The other person. Have you not found it in the search radius yet?”

“Yes, I haven’t gone far yet because of the danger… According to the report of the search team that went all the way to the Chinese border, there are no survivors.”

It was still too early to vacate.

Because I couldn’t tell when or where it would happen.

At least the certainty that the Adjuster’s bullsh*t had been put to an end. It’s a situation where you can move comfortably.

Even if it was Ha Yeon-woo, it was still too much to capture the emotions of a human who was hundreds of kilometers away, and that could also be a civilian.

I can’t know the proper news, but it was right to think that China was united by giving up large territories and concentrating its power on a single point in the interior, or that it was ruined.

Russia, which detonated nuclear weapons on its territory, had nothing to say.

Everyone who survived is isolated.

Unlike this place where no human casualties occurred, other areas must be spreading hell day by day.

“Go back.”

“Yes, get ready! go back!”

* * *

Time passed leisurely, as if it had nothing to do with what was happening.

The cleanup of the mutant creatures, whether it was because of the unprecedented energy generated by the disappearance of the cube, or perhaps even that was one of the pranks designed by the Adjuster, was coming to an end.

It wasn’t as far-fetched as planned, but thanks to the facilities being equipped enough to accommodate about 300,000 people, everyone had a place to lie down.

Of the food, clothing, and shelter to be solved immediately, the only thing left is to eat and wear.

In the meantime, an interesting fact was that there was a lot of land in Sara Autonomous District, and among the mutated creatures, there were cows, pigs, and chickens that humans normally eat.

They possessed one or two of the characteristics seen only in monsters, such as sharp claws, long teeth, and tough leather, but they mostly maintained their original form.

Thanks to this, if the hunt was successful, it was possible to cover food from several times to dozens or hundreds of times by catching one.

The soil itself was often infertile and there were many disadvantages to farming because of the mountainous areas, but farming was still possible.

The reason North Korea suffered from food shortages and famine in the past was not just because there was no land to farm.

Floods, political failures, and rotten economic troubles were more to blame.

“Have you been mating?”

“Yes, they say it was confirmed in the test cage.”

It didn’t stop at hunting additional monsters.

So, when the seeds dry up, they will have to hunt far and wide each time to find their prey, just like in a primitive tribal society.

Most of the members are combat personnel, so there will be no major restrictions, but it was too inefficient.

So, not only the animals that were previously captured, but also cages dedicated to breeding mutant organisms were created.

A huge amount of construction materials airlifted for construction were idle.

Using rebar and concrete generously, they built cages exclusively for large-mutation organisms, and were conducting various experiments for breeding.

“I think there will be no problem with breeding.”

About a month after the catastrophe.

Sara Autonomous District, although in the form of the past, was able to fully establish basic living conditions the fastest on the planet.

“next… Is it the lower town?”

Ha Yeon-woo’s eyes are far away. Headed to the land where Korea would be.
