EP.965 Part 2 Chapter 9 Scene 21 Hero Death

4:00 PM, July 6th.

“Ugh, this airport’s packed with lunatics looking for sex.”

There’s no shortage of people wanting to get it on with the Commander.

Especially the men—some are even more dangerous than the women who can’t help but get turned on when they see the Commander’s face.

‘Absolutely cannot run into them during the day.’

They know that in the game, the Commander turns into a woman during the day and would go completely berserk.

The moment they lay eyes on my beloved Shin-ra, they’d react inappropriately.

It’s only natural—if you’re human, seeing Shin-ra’s beauty is bound to stir something down there.

But that’s just biology; if anyone dares to point their dirty intentions toward her, I won’t forgive them.

Even if I were to tolerate their lustful thoughts a hundred times over and let a punch slide, these fools will probably start winking and making moves to actually do the deed.

‘They’re dead.’

How dare they target my wife?

-Hey, aren’t you taking this a bit too far?

‘Those who lust after the male Commander deserve death, and so do those who lust after the female version.’

-This is a game, remember?

‘It’s a game, so it’s fine.’

That’s right.

In reality, I’d leave them half-dead, but since they’re just game characters, I don’t feel a shred of guilt killing them.

I know they originated from the real world, but this realm is made up of 0s and 1s—purely electronic.

Regardless, this is an unforgivable offense.

‘I’ll turn them into statues like Zeus or Saladin did.’

Just like the villains who entered Korea met their tragic ends, I’ll ensure none of them ever show their faces on this planet again.

And I know exactly how to do it.

“Hikari, can you gather some intel? All the CCTV footage around the airport.”

[All of it?]

“Yeah. I’ll check it using a multi-view system.”

[Are you looking for new allies?]

“Nope. I’m picking out the enemies from this group.”

[I’ll find them quickly!]

Hikari swiftly provided the data via magical gear, and from my base in Yeouido, I examined the profiles of all the heroes who had arrived in the country.

Though they tried to hide their identities after disembarking from private jets at Gimhae Airport, thanks to Hikari hacking into the entire airport’s CCTV system, I recognized many familiar faces.

“All known faces.”

They’re villains.

Every politician, hero, and leader of famous hunter guilds I’ve encountered before—they’ve all come here targeting the Commander.

-Greetings. It’s quite unexpected to have the Foreign Ministry personally greet us. Ha ha, must be very busy…

-Grrr.

First, Tayeng Mammar.

A dictator who established his regime in Turkey. Taking advantage of Sun Icheol’s government being in disarray, he’s maneuvering to expand his influence and will head straight to Seoul.

Tayeng Mammar and other political figures, along with foreign ministry officials—all have one destination: Seoul.

-Damn, it’s crowded. Is that smell from the garlic and kimchi mixing or what?

-The lady smells of drugs.

-Drugs smell better. That stench might repel normal people, but this brings happiness.

Next, Miss Tabasco, the right-hand woman of the Mexican drug kingpin.

An S-Rank special ability user, she used her powers to refine drug trades and developed “Core Ecstasy,” a luxury product for ability users who couldn’t get high on regular drugs.

She grinds expensive cores into powder, mixes it with drugs, and snorts it—a display of extravagant indulgence.

Her villain name is far more infamous than her official title.

And then, someone caught my eye.

-Damn it, where are you looking… Sorry!

-It’s okay, Brother.

‘Whoa.’

A towering man in a black suit, standing at two meters, drew attention.

Though others glanced at him once or twice, his face was covered with a mask, so no one could tell who he truly was.

‘Judging by the curve on his thigh, I know who he is.’

The shape of something massive extending down to his knee.

[Rasputin].

He has also landed in Korea.

Although Rasputin’s maids were defeated in-game when they came to capture Gaon, now he himself has arrived unofficially in Korea.

Having personally used his equipment as a base to create monsters and produce cores, I cannot forget this man.

And then…

Someone I recognize but hasn’t appeared in the last twenty years on Earth.

‘Rasputin brought Conquistador too?’

Conquistador.

This Spanish-American man awakened his abilities on February 22nd, 2022.

-I am Conquistador! As the knight of the Commander, I shall serve with honor! Move aside! Charge! Let’s go, my steed!

Back in 2020, this blonde muscular man was just another American until he awakened his powers and became an extreme concept enthusiast, crafting core weapons styled after medieval knights.

If I accepted him as an ally, he’d undoubtedly be a powerful asset. Unfortunately…

“Screw that.”

Even at the airport, carrying his iconic giant lance, he radiates tension as if ready to pierce through me.

And among them…

I spotted a ray of light.

‘You’ve arrived.’

Given the proximity of her country, I thought she wouldn’t miss this event.

She would appear before the main event as a pre-show.

Xiao Lin, the War Goddess of China.

Dressed confidently in a cheongsam, she arrived at Gimhae International Airport without anyone recognizing her.

After all…

“People only know her in her Guan Yu cosplay form. In her original appearance, she’s just seen as Chinese.”

Though she came in her true form, not her usual heroic attire, she blends in perfectly.

Tayeng Mammar.

Miss Taco.

Rasputin.

Conquistador.

And finally, the cherry on top: Xiao Lin, the War Goddess of China.

Sorry, but I’ve made up my mind.

“Kill everyone except the heroine.”

Right here, in Korea.

Shortly after, Busan City Hall.

“I apologize, but there are currently no direct buses or vehicles traveling from Busan to Seoul.”

“What do you mean? In this small landmass, it’s impossible to travel just 300 kilometers?”

Numerous individuals gathered at Busan City Hall, frustrated by the mayor’s announcement.

“Surely there must be buses, cars, trains—something. If anything breaks down, we’ll compensate financially.”

“That’s not the issue. You see…”

The Busan mayor nervously sweated under the scrutiny of various politicians and S-Rank ability users.

It was hard to believe he was speaking to globally renowned figures, yet even in this dreamlike scenario, reality remained harsh.

“The Gyeongbu Expressway collapsed long ago, and national highways aren’t properly maintained. Currently, all routes from regional areas to Seoul are completely broken.”

“Why didn’t you do anything while the monsters were destroying the roads?”

“…The situation around Neo-Seoul and Busan are different. Within Busan, we try our best to keep traffic moving, but outside of Busan, it’s a different story.”

As the mayor spoke, his face flushed red.

Foreigners arriving en masse was unprecedented, and their desire to head to Seoul rather than Neo-Seoul was also new.

“At the moment, we’re mobilizing every vehicle possible. We’re even asking citizens for their cooperation, filling city buses with fuel to send them to Seoul.”

“We’re planning routes to avoid damaged sections as much as possible, but bus tires simply can’t handle the strain. So…”

Had we known, we would’ve prepared earlier.

But there was no way to foresee this.

We didn’t expect Seoul to be liberated!

“If you could kindly head to Neo-Seoul instead? The Korean branch of the Hero Association might provide some support.”

“……”

Everyone in the room showed signs of discomfort.

Of course, they wanted to go to Seoul, not Neo-Seoul, where they might get stuck and unable to move.

-Commander is Korean! Foreign bastards, scram!

-Ma! The Commander belongs to us! He likes rice soup!

-You’ll step over my dead body to take the Commander, you scumbags!

Bang, bangbang.

The rough sounds outside the city hall only hardened the expressions of those inside.

“Why are those people so angry?”

“Is the translator working correctly? Why does it sound so strange?”

“They’re blocking the road and yelling at us…”

“””Are those ordinary citizens?”””

The Busan mayor covered his face with both hands.

On the city hall’s video monitors, live CCTV footage showed the Gyeongbu Expressway blocked by countless Busan citizens, dragging cars to stage protests.

-You will not take the Commander!

Cars lined up tightly, especially taxis positioned like a military formation, mirrors folded neatly, creating an impenetrable blockade.

“Fine. We will find our own way to Seoul. Thank you…”

Suddenly.

Crackling sounds filled the air.

All ability users stood up immediately, and the mayor stared wide-eyed at the CCTV feed.

“Did Harang arrive?”

-Never passing through here.

Near the Busan Central Terminal.

A white-haired maiden stood tall, over fifty meters of ice forming a wall behind her. With arms crossed, she gazed arrogantly downward.

-Only those who can defeat me may meet the Commander.

“Harang, those in Busan are trying to snatch my jewels. Looks like I won’t be able to visit anytime soon.”

[Wait and see. I’ll clear them out in a day.]

Sex knows the answer.
