Chapter 246
Yongyong-i is currently in the secret room of Cheongwadae.
This is as expected of Ha Jeongseok. He is calling a fully grown woman late at night. He’s a total pervert.
“Do you think you’re above me just because you became the boss of a villain organization?”
As soon as he saw me, Ha Jeongseok started nagging.
He couldn’t even squeak when I was Baekhwa!
“No?”
Anyway, formally, Ha Jeongseok is the Head of State.
I have no intention of becoming the president of Korea in the first place.
If they gave me that position, I’d establish the Yongyong Kingdom.
“Then why on earth did you pull such a useless stunt?”
Ha Jeongseok asked seriously.
And I answered seriously as well.
“Because there is a Sin among the Apostles.”
“Do you even know what you’re babbling about?”
Ha Jeongseok seemed quite surprised by this one.
Well, he probably never dreamed there would be a Sin among the Apostles.
The Apostles are the protectors of humanity, and the Sins are the absolute enemies.
“Yes. I have an artifact called the Akashic Record. The risks are high, but I can obtain very fragmentary knowledge. I’m certain.”
“Hah. Let’s say you’re right, the Apostles are still powerful and have a solid foundation. You sided with Shinohara over there just to help a girl you like? And you even represented Korea’s stance?”
I mean, I clearly shared my opinion with the Government.
“It’s also Baekhwa’s will in the first place.”
“Baekhwa’s?”
“Honestly, the Apostles act like total old farts. Don’t they? Even Your Excellency said it’d be better to bring back the United States Forces Korea. You said it was a waste of money, didn’t you?”
This was also true.
It was a political maneuver, but at this point, Korea didn’t need the Apostles, so it was just a waste of money.
“Even so, The West pays for all the Apostles' maintenance costs.”
That’s none of my business.
If he’s that worried, we can just completely uproot the Apostles.
Sky Island, my foot. It’d fall right out of the sky if I just shot a compressed blast from my mouth.
“They aren’t even gods, so what’s with the Sky Island? Besides, Korea has a justification. Is the development cost for the Northeast Three Provinces just a penny or two? It’s not like China paid for that development, right? And it’s not like Cheonsan can develop all of it either.”
“Hmm. How do you plan to handle the fallout?”
Since Japan pulled out of the contributions, Korea pulling out wouldn’t be a huge issue. But the countries paying contributions to the Apostles might have something to say.
So we just have to make it so everyone stops paying.
We just need to make the existence of the Apostles unnecessary.
And I have the best material for that.
Truth be told, there’s something the Apostles can’t do right now.
“The Apostles cannot perform purification on an Erosion Zone.”
“I suppose so.”
“So here’s what I thought of. As you know, our Baekhwa Cult can purify an Erosion Zone without bringing in high-spec, expensive equipment like demonic energy purification devices, right?”
“And?”
Ha Jeongseok stroked his chin, listening attentively as if his interest was piqued.
I could satisfy Ha Jeongseok’s desires.
“What if we purify the Erosion Zones around the world and liberate those regions? We’d be doing a better job than the Apostles. Besides, under international law, an Erosion Zone isn’t treated as territory, right?”
Recovering an Erosion Zone was currently too difficult a task for the nations of the world.
“That’s true. That South American continent has entirely turned into an Erosion Zone.”
Now, here comes the deal.
“Now. Think about it. Are you going to be satisfied with just the Goguryeo territory?”
“What?”
“Who says Korea can’t become like the British Empire in this era? Imagine if we purify all the Erosion Zones. First off, half of South America will fall into our hands. Then there are Indonesia and Africa.”
“Oho.”
Good, he’s showing interest.
Then this is a done deal.
The greed of a man named Ha Jeongseok knows no bounds.
“You can get drunk on national pride to your heart’s content, you know?”
“But is the Baekhwa Cult really that strong?”
It’s powerful. Of course.
“Hehehe. You know that the executives in the Baekhwa Cult are all top-tier mutants. The Korean Government doesn’t even need to provide support anyway. We’ll take care of everything.”
A mutant doesn’t necessarily need food.
There’s no war as cost-effective as this.
“If you look at it that way, it certainly is impressive.”
“Right?”
“The Apostles aren’t fools. They might try to interfere.”
They probably would. They would definitely interfere.
Especially the Sin of Wrath, since it’d be a disaster if he didn’t stop us.
With the Sins getting wiped out, the Sin of Wrath must have a fire lit under his ass too.
He’d need to greatly expand his forces at the very least.
But if the Apostles interfere with us for whatever reason?
Then it’s war.
And if it comes down to it, we could co-opt the Korean Apostles.
people like Kim Satgat Birds of a feather flock together, as they say.
There’s no way they’d throw away a good opportunity for Korea to prosper.
“If they interfere, wouldn’t we be justified in killing them? Who would consider a faction that interferes with the purification of an Erosion Zone to be the Apostles?”
“That’s true too.”
The purification of Erosion Zones is humanity’s long-cherished wish.
Regardless of who becomes the owner of the land, Erosion Zones are eating away at the world day by day.
“Japan will practically support us. The only nation that might stop us is the United States. But Your Excellency has a special move strong enough to fend off the United States even if it interferes.”
“I have the power to stop the United States?”
Yes. Ha Jeongseok’s super-special move was purchased for a mere 5 billion won.
It’s limited to the United States, but that alone maximizes his influence.
“You have that. That thing.”
“Ah.”
Right. The president’s affair sex tape.
It can instantly neutralize the president of the world’s strongest nation.
Besides, on the United States side, Amy and Jill are already taking care of increasing my subordinates.
It really feels like a Mutant Group.
“Isn’t it a good proposal?”
“Even so, a problem remains. What happens if we plant our flag on that land? No matter if international law says it’s superior, if half the world falls into Korea’s hands… Even if it’s not the United States, there will be those who lash out at Korea.”
Of course. He’s no fool.
“The answer is simple. We just plant the flag of an autonomous region. The Baekhwa Cult is currently gaining fans worldwide. Other countries can’t ignore this. The Korean Government can just declare that it is in no position to interfere in the internal affairs of the autonomous region. Furthermore, I have a tight grip on Shinohara Yuzuki. Unlike the previous Shinohara House Head, she is a shogun of the shogunate who is favorable toward Korea. As long as she takes our side, it won’t matter much.”
“Hmm.”
Ha Jeongseok’s eyes rolled and rolled.
He was judging what would be best.
“If you miss this chance, who knows when another good opportunity will come? In the distant future. The name Ha Jeongseok…”
“Fine. Give it a try.”
Hehehe. Even if he’s rotten, he’s still the President.
With the president’s permission granted, there’s nothing standing in my way.

A certain island in the Pacific Ocean
On this island filled with demonic energy, there were three figures.
Sin Leo Sin of Envy Magra Sin of Pride Lucius
Those three gathered in one place.
This time, it was because the Sin Leo had summoned them.
Pride and Envy didn’t like it.
Because the only time Wrath came in person was to nag.
“Greed Johanna has gone into hiding, and Sloth has been caught by the shogun and is undergoing all sorts of torture. Things are going just wonderfully.”
The Sin Leo spoke as if he found it pathetic.
“Hmph. Did you finally feel a sense of crisis and come?”
Pride sneered at Wrath.
And rightly so.
Because this damn bastard Wrath was only now showing his face.
When the Seven Deadly Sins were practically collapsing. He was only now showing his face.
“To think incompetent things like you are Sins. Tsk.”
“What did you say? You bastard.”
How dare he spout such nonsense.
What is a guy who’s been resting all this time talking about?
“Am I wrong? You guys clearly didn’t even cooperate with each other, did you?”
“That’s…”
“If you had cooperated, you could have finished off Japan. No matter how much of a threat Yu Eunha is, Korea is what’s important to her. Not Japan.”
If they had all joined forces and invaded Japan, the outcome would have been different.
But what is the situation now?
Sloth stepped up alone for no reason, and Johanna didn’t even care.
And ultimately, it led to this.
“Am I wrong? You guys don’t know what state those two are in, do you?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Look.”
Leo showed a video of Johanna uploaded on social media.
In the video, Johanna, with her nipples and clit pierced, was being humiliated while blindfolded.
And the moans bursting from her meant that, despite being Johanna, she had quit her job as a Sin and become a simple pet.
-Ah! Aah! Ah! Please do it more! master!
Even her lines were incredibly obscene.
They were even in Korean.
“This is Johanna?”
“This bitch always ignored us, but she fell into lust herself?”
Envy Magra and Pride Lucius made surprised expressions.
“Bitches like this originally have no end once they start enjoying it.”
“Crazy bitch. She got her nipples and clit pierced and linked them with a gold chain. She’s completely hit rock bottom.”
Lucius shook his head.
She was a girl he had some favorable feelings for. But to think she’d fall like that.
“Isn’t she being forced?”
“Is that bitch someone who’d fall for something like that? This bitch is submitting to the guy who uploaded this video of her own free will. You can tell just by listening to her moans.”
Certainly, just listening to it, she was nothing short of a prostitute.
“She’s crazy.”
“What about Sloth?”
“That guy Cale is in this state.”
This time, it was a video of Cale.
This side was also the worst of the worst.
-I… I think I came to the wrong place.
-Fuck you!
-Listen to me!
-Suction
-Bzzzzzt
-Aaaagh!
Sloth is being forced into gay play.
“Ew. How indecent.”
“And yet you’re watching it closely through your fingers.”
Leo shook his head at the posture Envy Magra was taking.
There was no answer for this.
If it came to this, they’d have to find reinforcements.
“Since it’s come to this, we need to find Gluttony and Lust.”
“Oho, the mighty Wrath?”
“Well, if that bitch fell this far, I am curious about what kind of man her partner is.”
Envy licked her lips and imagined it.
That Johanna, who always pretended to be elegant, had thrown away all her pride as a woman and become a mere beast, a pet.
Who was the one who made her like that?
Just how huge a cock and how amazing a technique did he have that made that elegant bitch submit while even getting her body pierced?
Her body felt slightly hot.
Imagining that woman whining under someone made her body feel completely loose.
“Envy. Are you crazy?”
“I just mean I’m curious.”
Honestly, it was natural to be curious.
Who could corrupt a woman like that?
