“Why can’t we contact other branches?”

“It’s not just one or two branches where contact is cut off. Places we contacted until just yesterday are suddenly not connecting today.”

“Did Sentinel launch an ambush or something? But there were no such signs? Aren’t we monitoring their movements with hawk eyes?”

Contra Mundum.

A group gathered to oppose the Empire called Gwangwoon, established by the King of Satan, distributing biochips to all citizens of the world mandatorily, and to resist their oppressive rule and conspiracy.

There were more people accompanying Contra Mundum than were thought, and they could expand their territory in an instant.

Awake people know.

That Jeong Jin-ho is the Antichrist prophesied in the Bible for a long time, and Gwangwoon is the empire created by Satan.

The biochip they are making people receive mandatorily was the Mark of 666 the Bible spoke of.

Contra Mundum was precisely what opposes that.

“There is a strange rumor circulating though.”

“Rumor?”

“Yes, that the King of Satan, Lucifer, finally escaped the human body and became a God, and is slaughtering our Contra Mundum brothers and sisters ruthlessly wielding transcendental power.”

“What kind of nonsense is that. Are you saying that guy Jeong Jin-ho is wielding superpowers or something?”

“That is exactly it. Aren’t we hiding in places all over the world, avoiding Satan’s eyes and acting secretly, to the extent even Sentinel finds it hard to catch us? If it is Satan’s eyes, not human eyes, wouldn’t it be different? Furthermore, the King of Satan wouldn’t need human power.”

Looking at the believer making stupid sounds, the Bishop let out a sigh.

This was the problem.

Sometimes there are guys buried in doctrine and religion believing nonsensical things as real.

Well, the advantage is that such guys have higher loyalty and are easier to handle but.

Believing such nonsensical rumors as real was also a problem.

Because it brings useless confusion to the organization.

“Stop the nonsense.”

“But it is difficult to dismiss as just a false rumor. There are believers who actually witnessed the scene of the devil’s power massacring brothers and sisters.”

“I said stop the nonsense, didn’t I? I don’t know who is spreading such false rumors, but if you believe this as real and spread rumors trying to cause confusion in our order, I will absolutely not leave you alo….Keuk!”

The Bishop, who was getting angry, slammed his head on the table with a short scream.

“B, Bishop?”

The moment, everyone stood up from their seats in surprise trying to check his condition.

“Uheok!”

“Keuak!”

One by one, in order, like the Bishop, they collapsed with short terminal groans.

As if souls were escaping from their bodies in an instant.

“H, Heaven’s punishment!”

“D, Devil is reaping our souls!”

“Run away!”

Executives screamed and ran out of the room quickly.

And the moment they opened the door and came out.

“….!”

They could discover the corpses of hundreds of brothers and sisters who were hiding together in the underground facility sprawled everywhere.

“W, what on earth is t, this…”

Curiosity didn’t last that long.

“Keuk-!”

Because they also followed behind those who went first soon.

“Chairman. Sentinel sent a report, they say they found as many as 75 bases of the terror organization called Contra Mundum and wiped them all out.”

“As many as 75?”

“Yes. They operate as cell organizations, and are in underground facilities, or manufacturing various weapons in fine buildings etc. They say they are hiding literally everywhere. There are high-ranking figures cooperating secretly too.”

So I heard even that Sentinel found it not easy to find this terror group meanwhile.

“Still it seems they found well somehow.”

“Yes. Although not wiping them all out, certainly there seems to be big progress.”

“By the way… Saying wiped out means they killed all right?”

“Such content is not written but, probably…”

I let out a sigh briefly.

Although called a terror group, eventually it is work eliminating human lives.

Mind couldn’t be comfortable.

“Surely innocent victims didn’t come out right?”

“There was no separate report on that either. Shall I call Center Head Anthony Watson separately? If it is the Chairman’s call, he will run immediately. If not that, we can make an audit team in our head office and investigate separately.”

I closed my eyes for a moment.

Not long after, intuition sent a signal weakly.

“No need to do that. It seems they are doing well on their own.”

“Ah, yes.”

“Next agenda?”

“To celebrate China and Russia achieving peaceful unification into one country again, summit leaders of each country are scheduled to have a meeting in Korea.”

I knew China and Russia would never unify forever.

Tension was severe enough to be anxious whether nuclear war would break out right tomorrow.

But as time flowed, the threat of extreme war subsided, and instead public opinion that they must become one again due to economic reasons became strong.

Eventually, with a national referendum and harmony of the divided leaders, China and Russia became one again, and Asia, which was always wrapped in anxiety with war threat, regained peace.

“It’s a relief. Please send a congratulatory message at least. Our Gwangwoon will provide all costs and facilities necessary for the event.”

Now is not the time for us humans to fight among ourselves.

Isn’t Earth becoming hotter and aren’t glaciers melting?

Our son and GAIA are doing their best to cool Earth, but if countries are swept up in war with each other, humanity will perish as is.

In other words, it is a time that needs us to join forces and harmonize more than any time.

To advance further forward.

Fortunately, the peace of united humanity and Earth seemed not far.

“First day operation rate 100%. The terror organization members killed by Helios on Day 1 alone are 40,000, almost a level of eliminating one person every 2 seconds.”

It’s been 1 month since Helios operated.

According to data sent from Sentinel, Helios wandering Earth was eliminating targets and purifying this Earth.

“Are you… Okay?”

“Why?”

“500,000 people were eliminated during this 1 month. By the Helios Team Leader. If it is a normal person, it could be sufficiently hard mentally.”

“Seems you want to confirm if I am not a psychopath. Regrettably I am not to that extent. If I heard innocent people died, probably I might have struggled to the extent difficult to drink a sip of water.”

However, the 500,000 people eliminated this time are germ lumps making this humanity sick.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Because Helios is the cure, and they were germ lumps that must disappear, Jeong Se-yoon didn’t feel a shred of guilt.

‘Father is truly a benevolent person.’

Unlike his son, he is a person who would feel pity even to those germ-like existences.

And I think that is a virtue a person ruling this world must have.

‘But the person serving him shouldn’t be benevolent.’

For that nobility, to protect that sanctity, people under him need to become cold-hearted.

Secret sword wielded by the benevolent one.

It was his own role Jeong Se-yoon understood when young knowing nothing of the world.

“Media is being controlled well right?”

“Yes. And as this Helios weapon is so minute, most people won’t know what on earth they died because of. Doesn’t the number of deaths on this Earth per day amount to about 170,000?”

It wasn’t the kind of work to become controversial just because a bit more died there.

If only not exposed to the media.

“By the way, what is the reason for calling today? Doesn’t seem you did it to hear a report.”

Anthony Watson visiting GAIA secretly today was because Jeong Se-yoon called.

Not feeling offended being told to come and go repeatedly.

Rather opposite.

Expecting what kind of stimulation he would give this time.

“I think I have to discuss a bit because of this today.”

“Bio… Genesis? What is this?”

“Read once.”

“….”

Anthony read a bit and soon frowned and covered the report.

“Although I have seen several code documents while being in that complex intelligence agency, I don’t know a single thing about what this is talking about, really.”

“It is researching muscle cell enhancement and neural response optimization.”

“…Is that so.”

“To put it a bit more simply, you can think of it as making Super Soldiers.”

“!?”

Only then did Anthony also become interested.

“By the way, isn’t it work to just make Android Corps?”

“I think eventually humans are stronger than machines. If doing a little modification and machine combination.”

“Then the reason for showing me this…”

“Need suitable applicants. People who will accept drugs and machines willingly for our Gwangwoon and become Super Soldiers. I think there would be many people with such high passion in Sentinel.”

“You found very well. Haha.”

Anthony, who put away the report as if seeing something he shouldn’t see earlier, lifted it again and examined it satisfactorily.

“Super Soldier… This is too expected.”

Jeong Se-yoon only smiled without words.

Actually saying Super Soldier, this was a kind of experiment for the next stage.

A body having eternal life.

A transcendental body never rotting, never getting sick, never getting hurt.

An immortal body that even those called Super Soldiers can never break.

That wasn’t a privilege permitted to everyone.

Only one person in this world.

It will be a project for only one person.

***

World Peace Day.

Divided nations became one, and it became the day humanity holds hands with each other and promises eternal peace.

“…”

But summit leaders of each country gathered in their seats today knew this peace was a manufactured peace.

China and Russia being divided and becoming one is all because of Gwangwoon.

After tearing those two countries to shreds, after seizing the world.

Making them unite as one again.

How much those two countries suffered from Gwangwoon’s operation meanwhile.

Hundreds of leaders lost their lives, and eventually executives pledging loyalty to Gwangwoon were selected and became rulers, and like that left their signatures on written oaths becoming one with each other again.

“Now what I am curious about is next.”

“Next?”

“From Europe to the US. Korean-descent politicians seized most of it, and even the head of that country is Korean-descent. What would this mean? Before long the whole world will be unified with one name called Korea. Just like China and Russia became one again now.”

They were also feeling it with their skin gradually.

That Gwangwoon tries to gather the world with one name called Korea.

So spreading Korean-descent figures to all political circles.

“But the backlash will be tremendous. Even if Korean culture seized the whole world, if telling Americans to be Koreans suddenly from today, who would try to follow that purely?”

“Aren’t we sitting in these seats right now to make that possible?”

“I can’t do that. No matter what, telling us to eliminate the country name…!”

“You possess reckless courage. Today you might die right tomorrow with that remark.”

“I am the President of the US. No matter what Gwangwoon does, it can’t kill me suddenly.”

At that word, someone burst into short laughter.

“Everyone must have received the report. The terror group members opposing Gwangwoon suffered questionable deaths all at once. And even now people dying questionable deaths are increasing all over the world.”

“I heard too. Is that really work related to Gwangwoon?”

“Hearing it, they said the real cause couldn’t be known.”

Death with unknown cause.

Their common point is one.

That they opposed Gwangwoon.

Even people who died in the middle of city centers, knowing it, were helping them by contacting the terror group secretly.

“It is certain that Gwangwoon is killing them all, but actually don’t know the method, and looking at their cause of death, all activities of body cut off suddenly. Can’t know how that is possible.”

“What is the point you want to make?”

“Among those terror members scared stiff, such a word was circulating. That Satan’s Authority is giving heaven’s punishment to them.”

“!?”

The heaven’s punishment Satan gives.

Is it that someone is punishing them not with the power of science but with the power of God jumping over the human limit?

“T, that what nonsensical…”

“Already inside Gwangwoon such a story was spreading. That Chairman Jeong Jin-ho was a person transcending humanity already since long ago. Isn’t he the person who made the current Gwangwoon with insight as if seeing the future?”

“What on earth, w, what are you saying? Then that means he really has become God or something…!”

“Seizing this Earth with insight comparable to God’s, and now punishing those opposing his will with power unexplainable by our human knowledge. What does this mean?”

“…!”

If so, as the rumor circulating from long ago, Jeong Jin-ho already entered the rank of transcendentalist.

No. Perhaps from the beginning he might not have been human.

Just something wearing a human mask.

“Perhaps he might be listening to the conversation we are sharing here directly too. Might be looking at us from above. By the way, disobeying the order against such a person… I want to applaud that courage, Mr. President.”

“!?”

At that word the US President couldn’t control his trembling body.
