The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 399

Leviathan did not hide his uncomfortable expression.

Anyone who sees it would probably think that I touched Yeokrin.

[Just looking at his actions, it seems like he touched Yeokrin right?]

The story will change depending on what kind of memories Leviathan has.

However, looking at the current trend, there was a very high chance that Yongyong’s words would be correct.

Still, it needs to be pointed out at least once.

“It’s something I barely forgot, so why are you bringing up bad memories? “Can’t we just forget about it?”

“Because forgetting doesn’t mean the facts disappear. “Do you think the cause of your threat has completely disappeared?”

“no.”

“You know me well.”

“Still, I thought it would be safe for hundreds of years. “The other person still has a lot of work left to do.”

“I’ll be gone by then.”

[No, I think you will still be alive even then.]

“Foot!”

Leviathan’s seriousness softened at Yongyong’s serious words.

Who do you think is a monster that will live for hundreds of years?

“I think so. This is the opponent that the divine beasts find most difficult, right? “If I say something weak like that, no one will acknowledge it.”

“I was just talking about a person’s fixed lifespan.”

“Wouldn’t you be able to survive?”

“I don’t know.”

Even if it were possible, I have no intention of living a miserable life for hundreds of years.

“What were you planning to do after hundreds of years have passed?”

“I tried to stand out based on the hard preparation I had done so far. “Even if I look like this, I will run away.”

“What if that doesn’t work?”

“Wouldn’t Hyuna unnie accept it?”

From start to finish, all I could think about was running away.

It was a very good thing to be given the name Leviathan, which is known to be the largest.

“I thought it was a joke and that it would work out somehow. “I thought there would be a solution if I got closer to Yong and Hyuna.”

[That’s not a bad idea either.]

Yongyong was immediately convinced, but I wasn’t.

“But there is no guarantee that it will help you when a fundamental threat arises.”

“That’s right, that’s what a Shinsu is.”

[The atmosphere of praising and then suddenly cursing? We don’t do that.]

Separately from Yongyong’s protest, Nana and Leviathan, who had experienced Shinsu, had some sympathies with each other.

Shinsoo is strong but indifferent to the world.

In other words, indifference means low motivation and it takes a very long time to put thoughts into action.

“After all, I’m not sure I’d be able to help you if you threatened me.”

“I’m worried about that too, but…”

“But I can be of help.”

“How can I trust you?”

“Because you and I have the same enemy.”

The guy who calls himself God wasn’t my enemy until recently. But looking at the circumstances, I felt that this guy and I had no choice but to clash.

But the words that came out of Leviathan’s mouth were unexpected.

“It’s impossible. You’re going to fight God and win? “It’s absolutely impossible.”

“why?”

The fact that you say something like that even though you know that I won the battle against the Thunderbird means that there is a reason.

“God is much more powerful than you think. He is a being who concentrated all of his abilities to become a god from the beginning. “He’s probably the strongest among the divine beasts?”

“Compare it to other divine beasts you’ve seen?”

“I’m sorry to Hyuna and Yong, but that’s okay.”

At least it was said to be stronger than the divine beast I faced.

Leviathan was said to mean not to fight back, but it motivated me in another way.

“It’s rather good.”

“what?”

“Because it wouldn’t be fun to deal with someone who’s boring.”

If he’s the subject of a conspiracy, he has to be the strongest out of all the guys he’s faced.

“He is the strongest among the divine beasts. But are you even thinking about joining in?”

“Okay, if I say that much, I can assume that I have an intention to talk, right?”

“…Because you seem to be hostile to God. “As someone who is being chased, it would be nice to have a partner who can think the same way.”

And then Leviathan’s explanation began.

“It is known among the divine beasts that I killed the Creator, right? Actually, it wasn’t just one person who created me. Several divine beasts were born by combining their powers. God is one of my creators.”

“Wherever I go, that guy’s name comes up.”

“To literally become a god. God has no doubt whatsoever that he will become God. “He has a lot of experience and power, and he is strong.”

[If you listen, he was wandering around a lot, so why didn’t I know his name?]

Yongyong’s question was boring, but it pointed out a sharp point.

Leviathan answered simply and clearly.

“Because God did not want to reveal his existence.”

It is said that he remained silent and hid his presence until he gained sufficient power.

It has great power and cunning.

“Was it his work that you said absorbed the essence of the divine beast?”

“that’s right. “Until then, I was nothing more than a monster driven by a desire for destruction.”

“Then who is your master?”

[That’s right, I don’t think it’s a divine beast as unknown as the Hermit Sage.]

Leviathan mentioned the existence of God throughout, but did not talk about other creators.

When Yongyong and I urged him on, Leviathan looked remorseful and spoke with difficulty.

“Dragon.”

This was also one of the expected names. Yongyong and I were not surprised at all and asked the next question.

“Is that guy the hermit sage?”

“no.”

“Then what is the true name of the Hermit Sage?”

“I don’t know about that. Because it had nothing to do with me in the first place. From the beginning, God was wary of the meeting between the dragon and the hermit sage. “I decided that nothing good would come of the two of you meeting.”

From what I heard, the dragon and the hermit sage were divine beasts with similar characteristics. I guess he thought that if the two interacted, it would get out of his control.

“I took full advantage of it.”

“That’s right, and under the agreement with the Thunderbird, the Thunderbird headed to America and the God to Europe.”

“Why not America?”

Even if it is not currently a hegemony, the United States is still the world’s most powerful country.

“There was a formidable human force.”

I’m talking about a party.

“God left because he wanted unconditional obedience, and Thunderbird thought he could use those humans.”

“It’s hard to believe that we coexisted peacefully with the Thunderbird.”

“Of course, the two kept each other in check. The thunderbird desperately tried to chase after God, but God stopped the thunderbird from growing any further. Even when eliminating the dragon, the two were unable to completely destroy it because they were keeping each other in check.”

It seems like it was a hostile symbiotic relationship.

“God’s purpose is to rule the world. But there were two obstacles to God. One of them is Shinsu. “No matter how powerful you are, there are limits to controlling your powerful compatriots.”

“What about the other one?”

“human.”

“That’s interesting.”

“Because God ruling the world ultimately meant ruling over human civilization. But infiltrating the human world was surprisingly easy. Because humans long for the existence of God, and all that was necessary was to satisfy that thirst. But what God was really wary of was the strength of humans.”

“The one who is said to be the strongest among the divine beasts is wary of the strength of humans?”

It was a thought I did not understand.

Shinsu was a being full of arrogance, but the strongest one was wary of the weakest humans?

“The result is right in front of you.”

“God anticipated my existence?”

“Probably not you. “The reason God was wary was probably because of the legacy left behind by the hermit sage.”

The Hermit Sage kept getting caught. This is because it is most likely that he developed blood feeding.

“I heard that when the hermit sage was betrayed, he created the power to kill a god. And God played with his power in case he betrayed him.”

“…What kind of power is it?”

“You can have all the power in the world? “That’s all God told me.”

Blood feeding is correct.

I’m not sure yet, but I think it might be.

I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

“Do you know where it is?”

“Roughly.”

“Then let’s go.”

“I can’t escape the Atlantic Ocean.”

“why?”

“Because I gained strength in return for not leaving this place.”

Leviathan, who came into existence at the hands of God and the dragon, was said to have escaped control by chance when the dragon died and was able to reach the Atlantic Ocean in a desperate escape.

And until they met me, they focused on building their strength and fortifying the Atlantic Ocean, blocking access to all life.

But if you gain something, you also lose something. Leviathan has become virtually tied to the Atlantic Ocean.

I thought it would help, but it turned out to be useless.

“Then I guess I’ll have to go alone.”

“for a moment! So what does God do?”

“I need to do some more research. “Because I can’t judge everything based solely on the information I heard from you.”

“…You don’t believe me?”

“More confirmation is needed.”

“Ha, do whatever you want. But everything I said is true.”

“Try to believe it.”

“Really. “It’s real.”

Instead of answering, I waved my hand and went out, leaving Leviathan’s territory.

[Are you going to go check?]

“I should.”

[You’re going to face a real god?]

Yongyong shouted in shock.

“Do you feel that way when you look at it?”

[Yeah, I think they’ll attack me at any moment.]

“That’s not bad either.”

Because I wanted to see what kind of tricks this guy named Shin did.

[But it won’t be easy.]

“That’s right.”

[Huh?]

“Because that guy created a force to protect himself. “No matter what kind of divine beast, including me, approaches, it won’t be easy to deal with someone surrounded by forces.”

You can face your opponent in an unconditionally advantageous situation, and in the worst case scenario, all you have to do is withdraw your body.

It’s not known what his intentions are, but I know.

[Then shouldn’t we come up with a plan?]

“We have to come up with one. “Let’s do some business before that.”

[What should we do?]

“We need to start by looking at the guy who did this.”

Finding God right now and what caused everything.

There is a dragon, but it was just a shell left during the Draculea incident, and I destroyed it.

I think I know why there were so many regrets about the world at that time, but that’s not my business.

Of the two, the one I chose was to visit a hermit sage who was said to have been exploited to the fullest and then disappeared.

After hearing about the location from Windigo, the first thing I dealt with was meeting Leviathan.

[Isn’t there nothing there even if you go there?]

If it were God and the Thunderbird who dealt with the hermit sage, they would have thoroughly erased all traces.

“There’s something Windigo said.”

[That uncertain information?]

“Because those traces can be crucial information.”

[Hmm.]

It didn’t seem to be Yongyong, but I could tell.

If it were true that the reclusive sage was the one who created blood feeding, he would have definitely taken other measures.

Because the timing is not right.

It was a long time later that I, in my last life, gained blood feeding.

That means that some kind of action has been taken.

It may not be easy to find a trace that even God and the Thunderbird couldn’t find, but it’s something worth trying.

“Then let’s go.”

[I hate being cold.]

Ignoring Yongyong’s complaints, I set off straight toward my destination.

The place where the hermit sage was located is Greenland.

* * *

[Ugh, no kidding.]

The place we arrived at by high-speed flight was Greenland, which is considered the polar region.

A place where the environment is so harsh that humans cannot survive. If the intention was to prevent anyone from accessing the area, it was successful enough.

The cold was so strong that I could feel it draining away quickly, even though I was using the Force all over my body to block the cold.

[Just looking at it, it looks like there is nothing.]

Yongyong continued to complain, saying that this terrible environment was not good.

Rather, I was struck by a strange sensation as I watched the persistent cold that penetrated me endlessly.

“Isn’t this environment artificial?”

Yongyong concentrated on my question for a moment and then obediently agreed.

[It’s natural, but artificial. I think he probably twisted it.]

Two contradictory words were explaining the style of the hermit sage.

If a stranger had come, they would have turned away thinking that this area was unusually cold.

If I didn’t look carefully, I might just pass by.

However, in this twist, I felt a gesture that rejected the approach of those around me.

Once I sensed the flow, it was easy to follow.

Yongyong and I followed the trail and soon reached the end of the polar region.

[There is nothing. Let’s go now.]

“….”

Instead of answering, I quietly analyzed the flow.

[I just didn’t like the approach of those around me. This twist is a trace left behind by this guy. It will be corrected over time, right? So….]

“Wait.”

Yongyong said that, but I thought differently.

Then, I increased my concentration and began to observe the flow.

I smiled as I soon found what I was looking for.

“found.”

[Really?]

“Well, take a look.”

[There’s nothing?]

“There’s nothing?”

[Yes, none.]

The way he turned his head was insincere, but I felt that Yongyong had widened his senses.

It was a very subtle difference that Shinsu could not detect even if he concentrated with all his might.

Yes, it is a trace that only humans can find.

[Could it be that you feel something?]

I smiled a victorious smile at Yongyong, who saw me smiling.

“Then I guess I found the right one.”
