Episode 84
Ha-on, standing in front of the bell tower, looked up at the top with a curious expression.
Blue’s scans showed that the entrance to the underground passage was at the top, and there were no doors or stairs leading up to it.
The door right in front of us was a trap and it seemed like we could only get up there using magic.
Even if you somehow manage to get to the top, it will be difficult to open the door blocked by several layers of shielding.
From there, you had to open the locked doors one by one and go down to the basement to enter the passage.
‘How did Nova get through this? If he succeeds in forced awakening, is the flow of mana visible? Or… … .’
Nova waved his hand as Haon’s eyes lit up with excitement, just like when he first learned differential geometry.
“Honey. What are you doing there? The road is this way.”
“yes?”
Haon, who was puzzled, approached where he was called and then doubted his eyes.
As Nova pushed aside the flattened cardboard box, a large hole appeared in the floor.
He calmly entered the hole and gestured for me to come in.
Haon felt the enormous thickness of concrete as if he couldn’t believe it.
“… … It wasn’t a shield, it was a piercing through the ground?”
“Should we make it a little wider?”
“Oh, no. That’s enough.”
Then, as Nova raised his fist as if he was going to swing it at any moment, he quickly went down the hole.
In the long underground passage, the sound of dripping water could be heard.
“Why did they build a road connecting District 2 to the port?”
“They probably blew up the hero headquarters and stole all the awakening orbs there.”
They would have kept it under the sea so that it wouldn’t be detected by anything.
Haon kept his guard up as he walked, staring into the dark passageway, but he still had some questions that remained unanswered.
I had no idea what Bae An-jae was planning to do by stealing the awakening orbs from other dimensions.
Is he also creating a portal to return home? Or is he trying to take over this dimension since he was unable to conquer his hometown? … … .
As I was walking intently, I arrived at the side door before I knew it.
‘I can feel the mana fluctuating.’
Haon exchanged glances with Nova and opened the side door.
Wooooowoong─.
Then, a vibration that had never been felt at all in the underground passage began to spread underfoot. It was the vibration caused by an enormous generator spinning.
“What on earth are you doing with such a big generator… … .”
Haon was startled and looked at the generator’s structure. It was using magical engineering to burn microorganisms in the seawater to create energy.
Bae An-jae chose the port as his residence not only to hide Gaksung-gu.
“This is environmental destruction… … !”
Nova, who was trying to get closer to the generator from the side, opened her mouth.
“It was like there was an invisible barricade, and I could only step up to here.”
“It’s because there’s a mana shield in place. I’ll try to break through it. I need to turn off that generator first.”
“That won’t work.”
At that moment, the door inside the generator opened and Bae An-jae appeared.
“Stomach… … Anjae?”
And then, behind Baeanjae, another Baeanjae appeared.
“Oh, come in.”
“By now, you should have taken over Area 2.”
There were two Bae An-jae.
Haon looked back and forth between the two with confused eyes before observing Baeanjae on the left.
It was clear that he had Bae An-jae’s face and was handling Mana, but something was different. It didn’t have the sinister and creepy atmosphere of a terrorist Bae An-jae.
“… … This is our first meeting, right?”
It was definitely the first time I saw him.
“Yes, that’s right. I’m Bae An-jae, who was repairing the mana engine in another universe.”
He admitted it obediently and whined. Ha-on’s gaze turned to Bae An-jae, who was standing on his right.
“And you are from the same place as me, Bae An-jae.”
“I knew he was hard to kill, but he’s more persistent than I thought. If he planted that kind of bomb in headquarters, I should have killed him out of courtesy.”
Bae An-jae smiled wickedly and adjusted his glasses.
As soon as Haon discovered the two Bae An-jae, he realized that there were three or more Bae An-jae in this dimension.
“The group called Phantom that delivered potions to people… … It was all of you.”
The identity of the Phantom that everyone was curious about was none other than these people. As seen at headquarters, they must have used stealth technology.
“But how… … .”
What makes this possible? How is it that the other dimension’s Bae An Jae is here of all places?
Haon looked at Bae An-jae, who was smiling leisurely, and thought of numerous magical engineering theories before asking with a look of “no way.”
“… … Have you reached the Void Realm?”
“Oh, you don’t know how great and beautiful that place is. Even saying it is great feels like insulting it.”
Ha-on’s face turned red with shock at Bae An-jae’s fanatic-like answer.
The multiverse and dimension travel were theories derived from the study of the void realm through magic engineering.
As the void realm was not fully revealed, there were many ambiguous aspects to the multiverse and dimensional travel.
A space that no one has ever known to have reached. An unknown area where there are only many hypotheses about what exists.
That’s where humanity reached. And it happened because it was caught up in a dimensional gate explosion.
Haon’s head felt dizzy.
“You reached the void realm through the dimensional gate and brought you to another universe… … .”
“Yes. The Void Realm is the entrance and exit to all multiverses. It’s like an airport.”
Bae An-jae continued speaking with an ecstatic expression.
“There, time and space have no meaning and yet have countless meanings.”
“… … .”
“You know very well that time is an illusion created by humans for their own convenience. I have felt it with my whole body. There, I was an almighty god.”
“You could touch time… …?”
Haon, who was mumbling blankly, felt goosebumps appear all over his body.
The reason why ‘Galaxy On’, who didn’t even know Mana, was able to study the Awakening Sphere in an amazingly correct direction.
Why I had a lot of luck in making short-term stimulants.
“… … So you leaked the theory of the awakening ball to ‘Galaxy On’ there.”
Haon couldn’t understand him at all. Why would he do something like that?
“Why on earth… … ?”
“Imagine.”
Bae An-jae spread his arms and spoke dramatically.
“We’re going to make everyone in this dimension an Awakened. Doesn’t that sound like a lot of fun?”
“You have to keep buying stimulants to stay awake. You’re trying to turn everyone into addicts. You lost the war you started with terrorism, so you’re going to conquer this place in another way.”
Haon shook his head. Why do they want to conquer so much?
How many villains have flocked to conquer a district of the old city?
What about the bosses of other districts who I had been trying to assassinate for a while because they couldn’t give up their obsession with the district I had taken over?
“If we join hands, we can do whatever we want with this world, just like we did in the Void Realm.”
“I don’t want to die.”
“Don’t you want to know the secret of the void?”
“You don’t know either.”
“… … .”
“If you had complete control over everything there, regardless of time and space, why didn’t you stop me from falling into the same place as you?”
For the first time, a crack appeared on Bae An-jae’s smiling face.
“If we ever met again, I would have known I would be your enemy!”
Haon instantly destroyed Bae An-jae’s mana shield and fired a mana bullet toward the generator.
“Have you been figuring out the structure of the shield while I was talking? It’s still disgusting.”
Terrorist Bae An-jae opened up a protective shield and blocked the generator.
At the same time, Nova fell from the ceiling and attacked the mana engine repairman, Bae An-jae.
About halfway through, Nova was loitering around the side door, but then disappeared, and then he seemed to have broken into something again.
“Ahh!”
As he screamed and fell to the ground, the terrorist, Bae An-jae, threw a small mana bomb.
“Nova!”
Haon blasted mana towards Nova’s feet.
The moment Nova leaped onto the platform Haon had created, the mana bomb crackled and created an electric shock wave.
Repairman Bae An-jae, who barely managed to keep his wits about him, crawled behind the generator.
As Nova aimed for him again, the terrorist Bae An-jae fired a saw-like Mana bullet.
“You’re really a villain, targeting even non-combat personnel.”
“That’s not something you should be saying, as you have been committing terrorism against citizens!”
Haon fired a Mana Tan to prevent Bae An Jae from continuing his attack.
Meanwhile, Nova used her brute strength to stick her hand into the wall and lightly lift her body to dodge the mana shot.
“Non-combat personnel. I guess there are also combat personnel?”
“… … !”
Haon, who realized something from Nova’s smiling words, immediately changed the direction of Mana Tan. It was towards the side door located inside rather than the generator.
Thud!
Crispy─.
As the door was ripped open, a thin bullet landed in front of Haon’s forehead and thudded.
Standing inside the door was a sniper wearing a balaclava and night vision goggles.
“That’s Halo’s gum? Does that mean Halo is here too?”
Nova smiled brightly and stood next to Haon.
“Then you must be Eunhaon’s gum.”
As the sniper stepped aside, muttering dryly, Q’s men appeared behind him in a swarm.
Haon sighed as if he couldn’t believe it.
“That’s exactly what it means to have no integrity… … .”
