‘Is it different from your perspective?’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Are you saying...”’
‘Isn’t a guardian supposed to be collection of desire rather than conscious beings? Can you really have a conversation with such an entity?’
‘It sounds that it could work and at the same time, it doesn’t.’
“When I said, ‘Don’t make any hasty moves’, I didn’t mean ‘shut your mouth’.”
At that moment, Moon Hee-cheol, who had been observing Myung-jun like a statue, opened his mouth. And then, he addressed Myung-jun.
“Sergeant Cha Myung-jun. Was what happened ten years ago not enough? You must understand that escaping from here is impossible, I believe.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Then what? Is this some kind of last-ditch effort? Or do you still hold onto some belief?”
“It’s not that. It’s just that someone might have thought that things shouldn’t continue like this.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ve been endlessly praying for an escape, and General, you’ve been stopping me from doing that until now. Honestly, isn’t that incredibly exhausting? Also, you must have known that I’ve been secretly diverting materials and crystals, too.”
As Hee-cheol nodded, Myung-jun asked.
“Why did you let me be?”
“At least while planning an escape, you tend to obediently follow our plan. If there is a real possibility of escape, we would have to use all our might to prevent it. However, based on the abilities I’ve discerned, it’s an impossible task for you. So, I thought giving you some hope at least would be a good thing for your sake.”
“Does that mean you had the same thoughts when I blew up half of the Ministry of National Defense ten years ago?”
“It was a necessary sacrifice. If we were too easily suppressed you back then, you might have lost all hope for life itself. If that happened, your existence would have become useless.
That’s how I see it.
Your equipment shows such outstanding performance, of course not only because of your skills are at their peak and the exclusive use of the world’s finest materials. But it’s also because each of those pieces of equipment was made for your escape.
However, at the moment, rather than questioning the past, it was more important for Myung-jun to properly carry out the mission assigned by the Guardian of Time. With a disappointed smile hidden within, Myung-jun addressed Hee-cheol.
“Well, since it’s an impossible story anyway, let’s move on from it. And I was vaguely preparing for this situation.
Here’s the second proposal.
With my current abilities, I believe I can assist you, General, in clearing the [Final Gate] and restoring everything to the state it was 34 years ago.
No matter how powerful the entity within is, I can create weapons that can destroy them all. the condition is to clear the Final Gate in the shortest time, I will cooperate 100%.
Will you accept this proposal?”
“..........”
“I understand if you can’t. Seeing how you’ve been talking about the Gate industry, business, GDP, and everything else since earlier, it seems my existence is intertwined with various interest.”
“I’m ashamed to admit it.”
“Do you even know what shame is? People are dying. Every day, we live in fear, not knowing when a Gate will open, where these entities will emerge from, and we hide in fear from these powerful beings that can turn hundreds or thousands into corpses in an instant, yet you’re willing to sacrifice countless lives without any hesitation just because you want to become a saviour? Even though there’s hope that all of this can end?”
“Have you ever considered the opposite? People around the world think of awakeners as saviours. On D-day, humanity lost billions of family and friends, but paradoxically, we gained peace. In the face of a common enemy that sought to annihilate humanity, the conflicts between humans became meaningless. We were able to achieve true unity in the face of the enemy and learn the stories of many heroes. These were not the stories of soldiers killing enemies for the glory of their nations, but of true heroes fighting against external monsters for the salvation of humanity. If all of that were to end in an instant, humanity would once again point weapons at each other. And that war would become a brutal conflict that transcends our imagination, using the awakener’s gift that are already at our disposal. Believe me. You may not have realized this during your 30 years of captivity, but humanity has already fully embraced the current system.”
“So, negotiations have collapsed.”
“It seems that way.”
In an instant, numerous weapons were summoned around Myung-jun.
Similarly, around Hee-cheol, a multitude of dolls wielding weapons identical to those Myung-jun had summoned appeared.
Unlike Myung-jun, who had merely summoned weapons into thin air, the dolls Hee-cheol summoned exuded a level of powerful energy comparable to Myung-jun himself.
Although it was evident that Myung-jun was at a disadvantage, he didn’t care.
After all, the purpose of this confrontation wasn’t to defeat the other.
“You, who can’t use your ‘weapons abilities at 100%, can never defeat me. My dolls are armed with the same equipment you’ve created, and they can fully use that power. Yet you’re willing to engage in this meaningless fight?”
As Myung-jun listened to Hee-cheol’s words, it was as if he were facing a naive child, and he remained silent.
Then he spoke to the man before him, the world’s strongest man.
“But I do have one advantage.”
“What is it?”
“While I can kill you instantly, you can never kill me. 34 years ago, on the day I enlisted in the military, I made a promise to my younger sister. I promised her that I would return safely in two years. And now that I can’t fulfil that promise, I’m making a promise to myself once again.”
“What promise?”
“A promise that not to you, but another entity, it will bring all of these events to an end and restore humanity to its original state.”
With those words, Myung-jun dashed toward the doll closest to him, with his right hand gripping a sword and his left hand holding a massive shield.
It was a declaration that the outcome of defeat had already been confirmed with 100% certainty by the speaker, yet Myung-jun paid no attention to it whatsoever.
Even if a man knows he will be defeated, there are moments when he must fight.
At that moment, numerous weapons floating around Myung-jun ignited in flames, and simultaneously, the dolls summoned by General Moon Hee-cheol blocked his path.
A 1:1 confrontation between the strongest ‘Production Class awakener’ in human history and the ‘Combat Class Awakener.’
It was a grand display that suited Myung-jun’s current ‘final stand’ on Earth, resembling a spectacular battle of gods.
