Episode 290.
A view of the sky that appears to be polluted.
The space between the scenery was rippling.
“…gate?”
It looked very similar to the gate.
No, they didn’t look alike.
That was definitely a gate.
A truly gigantic gate that covers the sky of Yangon and the entirety of Myanmar.
The identity of the dark green sky that seemed polluted was none other than the dungeon gate.
That moment.
A word appeared in Siwoo’s head.
The disaster of Seoul.
‘No, no.’
But I quickly shook my head.
This is not a disaster for Seoul.
Even more than before… .
That moment.
Tsk tsk!
A thick noise erupted from the sky.
At the same time, something huge flashed across the polluted sky.
pupil.
It rippled as if cutting through space.
Those bright red eyes contained truly great evil.
There was truly great malice contained in it.
That’s why Siwoo was able to be certain of its existence.
“Marbas… .”
Marbas, the Great Speaker of Hell.
Demon of the Plague.
That was Marbas, who brought Myanmar to this state.
The bright red eyes that had swallowed up the sky scanned the sky below Myanmar.
Thus, the ruling being from beyond covets this world.
Ugh───Ugh!
Terrible thoughts of death poured down.
My mind is awash with thoughts.
My head starts pounding and I start to lose consciousness.
Madness that seemed to be squeezed from every vein.
It is encroaching upon Myanmar with long stretches of stretch.
My heart was pounding.
The fear that was imprinted on me like an instinct spread throughout my body.
Fear and terror creep in.
Reason is paralyzed and thoughts are erased.
Between the consciousnesses that seem to fly far away.
Kyaaaa …
The sound of hell’s tinnitus lingers.
“Eww, eww!”
“Kkaaaaaaah!”
People screamed and grabbed their heads.
People collapsed on the ground, unable to withstand the endless pouring of malice and madness.
“Ugh!”
Siwoo also staggered with dizzying vertigo.
It’s huge.
It is such a huge evil.
An evil beyond comparison to the Lilith we saw in the disaster of Seoul.
A madness pours down that dyes reason red.
A fear that is deeply ingrained in my instincts comes rushing in.
That moment.
[The more timid a dog is, the louder it barks.]
One day, the teachings of Confucius resonated throughout my mind.
[Tigers don’t bark.]
Wow!
My head cleared and the fear and dread that had clouded my spirit disappeared.
Roll.
Marbas’s large eyes move.
A truly monstrous evil sweeps across the earth once again, producing strange sounds.
Soon, Marbas’s eyes were fixed on Siwoo.
Hehe.
The large pupils are split left and right.
The emotion contained within it was ‘novelty’.
A view of flies moving around alive even after being sprayed with pesticide.
It was a ‘novelty’ and ‘joy’ that an insignificant creature felt as it resisted.
Marbas was just thinking that.
‘…I can’t handle it.’
It’s huge.
It is such a huge evil.
Marbas, ranked 5th among the 72 demons of Solomon.
Before that great evil, humans were nothing more than toys.
That moment.
[It’s not completely… resurrected.]
Solomon’s voice was heard.
When I looked there, I saw Solomon looking up at the sky.
Hercules next to him was also looking up at the sky.
Hercules said nothing.
He was just looking up at the sky with a stiff expression.
[Marbas’s condition is quite unstable. It is simply a remnant of power.]
Then Solomon continued speaking.
And Siwoo couldn’t believe those words.
The malice I felt from Marbas now was truly enormous.
But is this just a remnant of power?
It’s just a remnant of power, and yet it’s like this?
[It seems that the patient is undergoing a resurrection ritual, albeit imperfectly.]
Siwoo couldn’t believe Solomon’s words at all.
But I couldn’t help but believe it.
That would be the case, because the power felt was growing stronger as time went by.
‘We have to stop it.’
It must be stopped.
We must stop it at all costs.
We must absolutely prevent Marbas from being fully resurrected.
“Can the resurrection ritual be stopped?”
[You can stop it. If the consciousness is complete, then maybe. If it is before it is complete, then you can definitely stop it.]
Solomon nodded.
“Can you help me?”
[Of course. Didn’t your father tell you to help him? And now it seems a bit awkward to back out.]
Fortunately, Solomon readily promised to help.
And if Solomon helps, stopping the resurrection ritual should be no problem.
Wasn’t it Solomon who had already sealed and served Marbas?
Stopping Marbas wasn’t a big problem.
[We must get to the center of consciousness as soon as possible.]
The problem was time.
The ritual had to be stopped before Marbas could fully resurrect.
“Is there any way to know where the consciousness is taking place?”
[I’m sorry, but I don’t know that much.]
Solomon nodded slightly.
“If this happens….”
Siwoo had no choice but to find it himself.
There was no other way than to search every single piece of this vast country of Myanmar.
The vast territory of Myanmar.
If you search with Hermes’ Super Speed (SS+), you should be able to find it somehow.
It won’t take that long either.
‘I do not have time.’
But there is no time right now.
I’m not sure we’ll find it until Marbas is resurrected.
‘I need help.’
Siwoo can’t do it alone.
I need help from others.
It is not the power of an individual, but the power of a group.
At least national level assistance was needed.
however.
“Eww!”
“Ugh!”
Myanmar has lost its power.
The government was unable to function properly due to the plague.
Myanmar was powerless to overcome the current situation.
We need help from other countries.
But how?
Now is not the time to ask for help from other countries.
It is also unclear whether other countries will provide assistance.
Ugh───Ugh!
Death thoughts pouring down from the sky.
“… … .”
There was no way out of this situation.
* * *
The UN headquarters building located in New York, USA.
UN Secretary-General Maverick sat at his desk in his office, lost in thought.
“I can’t hear any news about Myanmar….”
Since the vote to send a peacekeeping force was rejected, Maverick has been kept informed of the situation in Myanmar.
But I couldn’t hear any news.
I couldn’t figure out what the current situation was in Myanmar.
It was strange.
It was so weird.
Originally, it was Myanmar that should have been in chaos.
This should have been addressed as an international topic a long time ago, so that people all over the world would rise up.
The UN should have been criticized for rejecting the peacekeeping force.
But there was no news.
They say no news is good news, but this was so strange, it was too strange.
Because there couldn’t be no news from Myanmar.
“Has the situation in Myanmar been resolved?”
It was absurd, but it wasn’t impossible.
Myanmar national hero, Dau Sin Sayama.
Because she could have solved everything.
Because the 13 heroes had the ability to overcome a national crisis.
But why is that?
“…no.”
Maverick couldn’t nod easily.
If that was the case, we should have heard the news a long time ago.
There couldn’t have been no news like this.
However, there was currently no news coming from Myanmar.
“Information in Myanmar is controlled?”
This one was more likely.
Of course, this also made no sense.
It is impossible to completely control a country’s information.
To be exact, there was only one being capable of doing such a thing.
Rather than one, it could be said that there was only one country.
USA.
Only the United States could do that.
So the US is controlling information in Myanmar?
“…no.”
That can’t be happening, right?
Maverick nodded slightly.
The speculation was just too much speculation.
It seemed that my thoughts were flowing in a biased manner because I was feeling so frustrated.
“If only I could see satellite photos….”
If that were the case, it wouldn’t have been like this.
If I had known what the situation was in Myanmar, I wouldn’t have been this frustrated.
So Maverick had already requested satellite photos.
But it was rejected.
Even if it is the UN, it is not permitted to spy on other countries’ territory without permission.
It was a completely understandable rejection.
No, it was a request that should have been rejected, of course.
Because it was impossible to spy on another country’s territory without a proper justification.
Maverick also knows this.
It was a statement I understood well enough.
“…Shit.”
But on the other hand, it was true that it was frustrating.
In the end, there was nothing Maverick could do.
All he could do was clench his fist and show his pain.
No, that was exactly what I was thinking.
Bam!
“Secretary General!”
Suddenly the door to the Secretary General’s office opened and an employee rushed in.
For a moment, I frown at the rude behavior without even knocking.
“Ouch, we’re in trouble!”
Judging from his urgent attitude, it seemed like he had something urgent to do.
It’s not too late to reprimand someone.
Let’s listen to the story first.
Maverick opened his mouth.
“What’s going on?”
“Gee, gee, right now…! The Se-gong-nam channel has started live streaming on YouTube right now!”
And then Maverick’s impression suddenly became distorted.
There were several reasons for this.
First of all.
“Segongnam Channel?”
What does this mean?
Of course, I could tell it was a YouTube channel because it said YouTube live streaming.
“This is Hunter Maeng Si-woo’s personal channel!”
As expected, the YouTube channel was right.
And the owner of that channel was no ordinary person.
The world’s first S+-class hunter.
The person who prevented the disaster in Seoul.
Yeah, well.
I understand up to this point.
“Why are you reporting that to me?”
But why are you reporting that and then lying down?
Whether Maeng Si-woo does live streaming or not.
What do you want me to do?
The question is why does the UN care about such things?
We are working hard for world peace, but what are we doing now…?
I see you were watching YouTube during work hours.
Suddenly, I felt annoyed.
It’s really true that this kind of guy is getting paid as a UN employee.
It was at that very moment that Maverick was about to grit his teeth and shout.
“Hunter Meng Siu is now broadcasting live from Myanmar…!”
What I heard from the staff.
“What, what?!!”
Maverick’s eyes opened wide.
* * *
Streaming.
A method of transmitting video in real time over the Internet.
To put it simply, it was a live broadcast.
Internet broadcasting, also known as personal broadcasting, can also be seen as a type of streaming.
And YouTube also had this streaming service.
It was YouTube that was mostly comprised of edited videos.
But these streaming services were also available.
However, channels in the Hunter genre did not use these streaming services.
It was correct to say that it was not available.
The reason was that the main activity area for hunters was the dungeon.
In order to stream, you obviously need to be connected to the internet.
However, the dungeon is an isolated world separated from Earth.
The dungeon was not connected to the internet, so streaming services were unavailable.
By the same token, communication was also impossible inside the dungeon.
But it wasn’t that the electronic device itself wasn’t working.
It’s just that I’ve been disconnected from the internet and the telecommunications network.
The electronic devices functioned normally.
So it was quite possible to film inside the dungeon.
That’s why Hunter Channel was mostly run by edited videos.
There was virtually no footage of people fighting monsters in real time.
In some ways, it could be said to be the viewers’ long-awaited dream.
The excitement of hunting monsters.
The tension that is conveyed in real time.
Because you couldn’t feel it in the edited video.
Maybe that’s why.
Streaming news from the Seongnam Channel.
『
The news spread like wildfire.
The hunter community was in an uproar, turned upside down, and exploded.
Also, the subscribers to Seongnam’s channel were not only Koreans.
The world’s first S+-class hunter.
People from all over the world were subscribing to the Seongnam channel.
News of the streaming of Seongnam Channel has spread beyond Korea and all over the world.
Currently watched by 6,543,212 people.
8 minutes before streaming start time.
Approximately 6.5 million concurrent viewers.
It was a viewer filmed in less than 8 minutes.
Even at this very moment, it was continuing to increase.
and.
“Why is Siwoo oppa suddenly…?”
Deokgu, the editor of the Seongnam Channel, was also one of the 6.5 million people.
Sudden news of Siwoo’s streaming.
As an editor of the Seongnam Channel, Deokgu was the first to hear the news.
“Suddenly streaming….”
Although he was quite flustered, Deokgu calmly prepared himself.
There is a famous saying in Internet broadcasting.
If there are five viewers, there is bound to be one crazy viewer among them.
And currently, the streaming viewers of the Seongnam channel are about 6.5 million.
So, proportionally, it was about 1.3 million people.
That means 1.3 million crazy viewers.
If they each commented just one, that would be 1.3 million comments.
All kinds of graffiti and aggro comments.
It was clear as day that it would be a total chaos.
That’s why someone had to block those comments.
Someone had to manage the streaming to make it run smoothly.
Of course, that wasn’t the editor’s job.
Nevertheless, Deokgu volunteered to do the job.
And soon.
There was no need for that, Deok-gu quickly realized.
The deep green sky seen beyond the image.
A horrific sight of the sky, as if contaminated with a plague.
[Kyaaaa …
And the long, resonating tinnitus of hell.
It was clearly something that was happening beyond the video.
But Deok-gu could actually feel the pressure as if his whole body was being crushed.
Not only Deokgu, but all the viewers felt the same way.
Streaming with over 6.5 million viewers.
But the comments coming up were just quiet.
And in that silence.
[Is it being broadcast now?]
The voice of Siwoo, the owner of the Seongnam Channel, was heard.
fantasy,
