Chapter 239
Episode 239
The next day, Franz suddenly appeared in my office.
The appearance of Franz, Germany’s superman and living legend, ‘Grand Meister’, caused an uproar.
Jin Se-jeong gave a little hint that he was a former teenager and was called the guardian god of Europe and had a solid fan base due to his good looks.
Old Franz is very lively for his age.
To me, he’s just a very lively old man. For others, the symbolism was daunting.
When I guided him to my personal training room, he looked around like a good old man and suddenly spoke to me.
“I told him to do it in moderation, but he ended up breaking more and more kids’ heads.”
“Only those who could break it went around breaking it.”
“Are you bragging about that?”
“Thanks to you, the world has become a better place to live.”
“but. “There are some of them who will wake up.”
Franz, who spoke in his characteristic ticky voice, looked at me with his characteristic deep eyes and asked.
“I was worried when I was told that I would be dealing with a plus-level monster. “Because he’s a different species than the ones we’ve dealt with so far.”
“It was different.”
The Heavenly Demon Armor was the strongest I’ve ever faced. So I ended up using full recovery as well.
I think the only being stronger than him is Shinsoo. How strong is that divine beast? This was the part I was most looking forward to these days.
[Eh.]
Franz continued speaking while Yongyong sighed after reading my thoughts.
“It is a disaster that a plus-plus stage monster actually appears. “It’s hard to tell what your skill level is when it comes to hunting that thing.”
“It’s enough to kill someone who wants to kill someone.”
“Hehe, I guess so.”
Why are you like that?
“I thought you were going to be a villain.”
Did this guy go back to the past like me?
“So I was wondering what to do if you went crazy.”
“It’s pointless to worry.”
“I’m saying you were that dangerous.”
“I am sane.”
“The very fact that you think you are sane is strange.”
“Isn’t it okay if you don’t cause an accident?”
[Wouldn’t that mean there would be no accident?]
Yongyong’s cry and Franz’s gaze had the same meaning.
“Well, I still don’t think I’m sane, but I guess this is something the world can handle. “I think you must have put in a lot of effort.”
Franz’s smiling face was somehow empty.
Seeing that scene brought back old memories.
Franz, who stood in the way during the Hematoma era when he went crazy from being drunk with power, was the person who made Hematoma the most difficult.
Even though he was well past his prime and was able to live with everyone’s respect, Franz flew from Korea to deal with the hematoma that was running rampant. And he died after a fierce battle.
This is a good expression.
Hematology, which received a mine from Franz, began to run wild like a lion that had gained wings. Franz’s presence is like hastening the completion of the hematoma.
but.
Franz’s influence was quite strong. He showed Heungjong, who was just a villain who was crazy about blood, the strength of a superhuman and gave me a sense of dignity.
Maybe it was because I saw the giant Franz that I felt empty even though I was the strongest villain in the world.
Just power isn’t everything. I didn’t realize it yet, but that fact alone caused me to worry endlessly as I coexisted with the hematoma.
Franz died, but his influence remained until the hematoma disappeared.
Maybe he planted the seeds of confusion in the worst villain even though he knew he couldn’t win.
Since he is a man with dozens of snakes hidden inside him, the possibility cannot be ruled out.
“We need to use that power in a more right direction.”
“That’s happening.”
“You don’t even want to listen to me, do you?”
“Still, I think we’re close, so I listen to his nagging. “If not.”
“If not, will I hit you?”
“Do you want to spar?”
“It’s a mess because I hit it so poorly. “I don’t want to experience being beaten at this age.”
“That’s too bad.”
Even though he was past his prime, the match against Franz was enough to stimulate inspiration.
[You don’t want to hit me, do you?]
That can’t be possible. I’m not that crazy of a person.
[I think it’s a mess.]
I ignored Yongyong’s muttering and fixed my gaze on Franz.
But you can’t just send it away.
“Don’t just leave, but teach the superhuman here how to do it.”
I took Franz with me and started working on increasing Berserker’s experience.
* * *
The saint and Franz visited the Blue House for several days and discussed ways to deal with the Two-horned Demon.
At the same time, the image of the Republic of Korea was raised through various events and volunteer activities.
I’m so advanced in creating my own image. If you look at Jin Se-jeong’s admiration while using the saint woman premium well, you can see that she is showing off her skills properly.
But what specifically does the saint want?
It was the president who resolved this question.
“Ultimately, what you want is your power.”
“My strength?”
“Isn’t it scary to think about how much damage it would cause even if we devise countermeasures against Plus Plus level monsters? Even if you take a lot of damage, it’s not clear whether you’ll be able to hunt it. So, I guess they are trying to get help from you who have a track record of success in hunting.”
Was it something like that?
I couldn’t figure out what he wanted because he was going around in circles throughout the conversation, but the President seemed to intuitively see it through.
“What do you think?”
“Are you asking what I think?”
“yes. “I’m curious about the president’s thoughts on what the pros and cons will be.”
“Hmm, that’s a difficult problem. First of all, if I just lay out the objective facts, it is a good opportunity. But no real benefit can be expected.”
The President cited the difficulty of obtaining material compensation from Europe to here.
With the sea route blocked, East Asia and Europe were virtually cut off. Transportation required crossing the globe, but the distance was virtually meaningless.
The President continued.
“It is safe to say that if there is no benefit, there is nothing to be gained. However, considering Korea’s position in the world, it could be a good opportunity.”
If you listen to the president’s words, in the end, nothing practical is gained, but honor is given.
Does that mean much?
First of all, I know that fame doesn’t make you eat.
“What are Director Cheon’s thoughts?”
“I think it’s okay to take it.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Cheon Myeong-guk fixed his eyes on me and started talking about the advantages.
“Currently, you are the only one who has hunted Plus Plus level monsters. And as a result of seeing the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Armor in each country and weighing the pros and cons, they would have realized that even if the hunt was successful, it would mean the complete destruction of the nation’s awakened power. Even if several superhumans are mobilized, the possibility is slim. To deal with plus-plus level monsters, you need a very strong minority more than a strong majority.”
It was an analysis that could be done because we had concrete data.
I guess I’m a very strong minority.
“In other words, it means that the only person who can hunt Plus Plus level monsters is Superhuman. “That symbolism will ensure a firm position that cannot be touched no matter what the Adept does.”
“Solid position.”
“Yes, it means that even if you go too far, no one can touch you.”
[What is that person talking about now? If we go any further here, you will all die!]
Yongyong screamed, but I felt tempted.
It was said that because of his untouchable position, he could take on the position of a savior here, even if he had been treated as a villain in his last life.
Does this look better than I thought?
Cheon Myeong-guk’s voice became stronger as if he could see that I was trying to trick him.
“And South Korea can solidify its position through mediation. On the other hand, in Korea, there is bound to be concern that a superhuman who can hunt plus-level monsters is going abroad. To them, the Superhuman is both a savior and at the same time a being who can never be overtaken. “The public sometimes wants to see a hero fall rather than see him perform.”
It’s definitely a far away place and doesn’t have the influence of the Republic of Korea, so I don’t know when or if I’ll turn into an enemy if something goes wrong.
If I get injured and suffer, they might turn into enemies and try to kill me.
Because there is no one in the world you can trust.
[Me?]
Except my friend.
[Hehe.]
This is just fine.
After finishing his heavy talk, the President spoke to me with a serious expression.
“You can decide comfortably. “The government will support whatever decision you make.”
“thank you.”

Since Franz and the saint came together, when you see them, it is easy to naturally think of Franz as the leader of the group. In fact, Franz was seen leading the visiting party, but seeing him take the lead was a different story.
The person in charge of this group was a saint.
That’s probably why old Franz didn’t say anything like this in his conversation with me.
And soon after, as the President and Cheon Myeong-guk expected, the saint came to visit me.
“Junho, can we have a conversation?”
“with me?”
“Yes, Junho and I.”
There’s nothing wrong with a provocative smile. I already felt like the flow of the story was sluggish, so I accepted the saint’s invitation to hear what she was saying.
“I don’t think Junho has any questions about me.”
A saint who has been calling my name instead of a head breaker for some time seems to have the typical mindset of believing that the world revolves around her.
“Yes.”
“What is it? “I’ll tell you anything.”
“He said he was a dual gift owner.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Why does he look disappointed? Aside from the rapidly cooling expression, I was intrigued by the fact that the saintly woman suddenly appeared and still possessed a dual gift.
“I heard the gift was quite nice.”
“Yes, it is a gift from God.”
A gift from God? So I became even more interested. If it was given by God, is it similar to what Yongyong said to me as friend rain?
No, since Yongyong received the Heavenly Demon Armor eyeball from me, we exchanged gifts, and the saint received it unilaterally.
[But what I gave you is much better!]
Okay, okay, let’s say that’s the case.
The saint’s eyes sparkled when I showed my curiosity.
“Are you interested?”
“I wonder what gift God gave me.”
“It seems like the person next to you is more curious than Junho.”
“…!”
[uh? Can you see me?]
I’m not going to lie, I was really surprised by this. The saintess was looking straight at Yongyong next to me.
“I meet a great man.”
[that’s interesting. You can see me without my permission? Is it the power of the god you serve?]
“I’m not sure about that.”
[It’s definitely fascinating.]
Yongyong hovered around the saint with curious eyes. You’re crazy.
“so.”
“yes.”
“Why did you say that?”
“That’s… ah!”
The saint could not finish her sentence. Suddenly, both eyes turned red and blood began to flow.
[I’m interfering. That is a punishment to not talk any more.]
“As expected, he is a great person. You saw it right away. “I am now incurring God’s wrath.”
The blood flowing from her eyes showed no sign of stopping. Nevertheless, the saint did not give up her will and looked at me.
The muscles in my face are running wild, and my lips and eyes are trembling.
“As you probably know, Europe lacks the power to deal with Plus Plus level monsters when they appear. “I hope that Junho will come to Europe and help me when monsters appear.”
As expected. I felt like I knew what the saint’s purpose was. But the god that the saint serves doesn’t want that?
He’s not a normal guy.
“What if I help you?”
“I’ll give Junho what he wants.”
“I know what I want.”
“Gift.”
Did my fame spread all the way to Europe?
[Isn’t it strange that it doesn’t spread that much? And I think it’s not fame, but notoriety.]
The saint watched Yongyong murmuring next to her with a smile and said to me.
“Are not you curious? “What kind of gift is this from God? I will give it to you.”
“Is it friend rain?”
This guy really nailed what I wanted.
