Chapter 12: Special Privilege (2) (2/2)
“Yes Since you’re froet used to it fast”
In order to talk to the natives in Liber, he needed her gift “…Thank you” Chi-Woo boith an aard face A strange silence flowed between theain as she began stuffing the iteel Raphael toldthis because it’ll be easier for you to take your belongings if I organize theanize theht But uel refused Chi-Woo’s offer and continued talking while stuffing ite I can, it’s nota few drops of oil in a co the snacks in a cloth so that they won’t break, she said, “There have only ever been two galaxy-scale events throughout the entire Celestial Realm’s history…so even if you are extreh”
Chi-Wo watched Laguel skillfully organize the ite and scratched his head “Well, yes But there’s souel close his bag and coughed “Perhaps, do you like uard doait, what?” Laguel was so surprised that she whirled around to look at him Her eyes became wide as saucers, and she stared at hi “W-What did you say?”
Chi-Woo nodded at Laguel’s startled face “You don’t Well, of course that can’t be true” Then he changed his question “As expected, you like my brother” Her reaction was completely different this time
“!?”
Chi-Woo was definitely sure that Laguel liked his brother Laguel’s face immediately froze, and her body also becaether
“I alive that to ” Chi-Woo put his bag over his shoulder as Laguel blinked her eyes like mad “Don’t worry toomy brother back for you And…” Chi-Woo raised his left wrist and tapped it with his thu about me I’ll use the divinity well and return it to you”
“It’s nothing much…no, wait a bit”
“Please stay healthy until wethis, Chi-Woo quickly turned around He heard strange sounds co from behind his back
“Wait! Wait a bit! Please wait a bit! Sir Chi-Woo! You uel tried to catch hih he heard her quickly follow hiazes of other heroes as she loudly huffed without saying anything
But then he soon heard a voice “No! It’s not like that! Ah! I said nooo!” Laguel’s shrill cries burst out frohed and walked forward in search of the transmission point
It wasn’t difficult to find the waiting place After finishi+ng athered inside the transantic circular structure Chi-Woo joined this group and found a fa by himself When Chi-Woo approached him, Giant Fist felt his presence and turned around
“Ah, you ca”
“I see,” Giant Fist replied blankly and closed hisfuss whenever he saw Chi-Woo, so it was strange that he was quiet as a mouse now
“Are you nervous?” Chi-Woo asked Giant Fist blinked a couple of times and made a bitter smile
“Yes, I am,” unexpectedly, Giant Fist responded truthfully “I’m relieved…but nervous at the same time…” What did he mean by this? “To tell you the truth, I couldn’t believe it,” Giant Fist said in a low voice “When I saw an announce that there will be a second recruitment process after Sir Choi Chi-Hyun went to the first one, it was hard forhe was better than anyone else”
Chi-Woo felt a sense of detach Giant Fist’s statements about his brother To him, Chi-Hyun had been like any normal older brother; whenever he ca on the couch with only his underhile watching TV It was baffling how everyone he arded his brother with the utmost respect and was careful to even utter his na about another person,’ Chi-Woo thought Of course, it
Meanwhile, Giant Fist continued, “But when I heard how dire the situation is, I felt relieved I suppose even he couldn’t help it in a situation like this…”
“Well, the most important part is that you want to help him Isn’t that all that matters?”
“Yes, I do want to help hihed deeply “Now that the situation has coe si…”
“Come on Don’t say that You are a hero, too”
“In a place where the World is extinct, a hero is just like any ordinary being Besides, heroes are just mere mortals in the end”
“Mortals?”
“Yes, they are mortals whose ultimate fates are to die in the end When they use up all their lifespans, they will return to dust” Giant Fist chewed on his lower lip “It e, but think about it, sir If everyone on your planet united under one mind and force, how far do you think their influence would extend to in space?”
Chi-Woo couldn’t answer right away “I suppose the Earth as a whole at most United, people would be able to doom the planet, but no matter how hard they try, I doubt they would be able to e or what lies beyond that” Chi-Woo tilted his head
“Yes, it is as you say, sir That’s the way it is not only on Earth, but everywhere you go That’s how insignificant le, they could only impact a planet at rasped what Giant Fist was trying to say “Then Liber is impacted by…?”
Giant Fist stretched out his thumb and pointed up in response Chi-Woo raised his chin and said, “A God?”
“An immortal,” Giant Fist replied succinctly “Of course, we’ll only know once we’re there…but” He folded his thu thrown in the middle of a battle between Gods”
—Preparation complete
An announcement interrupted their conversation
–Transather inside the circle as quickly as possible
Chi-Woo fell into deep thought He had heard about a war of the Gods such as Ragnarok But for so news He had the sa to attend to some unfinished business Giant Fist took a deep breath when he noticed how calht, they wouldn’t be able to doa World, they could be too busy surviving day by day Of course, it wasn’t like Giant Fist felt completely hopeless He looked to Chi-Woo, who lookedlived an ordinary life, and gulped
Giant Fist believed it would be different this time The seventh recruitment would be different from all the other ones He didn’t knohat kind of place Liber was, but they also had a for who had stoels said to serve God’s will like a bug—the unpredictable delegate who had ahim up
