-What happens if the people living in places like that get hurt?
-The law doesn’t reach the Erosion Zone anyway.
-In the original work, Jinseok-i saved most of the humans in the Erosion Zone. If there are still people there, they must be villains.
-Or maybe they’re just guys who like living on hard mode.
-But it’d be fun to do a live stream in a place like this.
After flying around for a while, I saw a few giant wolves prowling the ruined streets.
I thought most monsters like that had been subjugated in the original work, but it seemed there were still plenty of them alive somewhere.
And then.
“No wonder they were wiped out so easily.”
I found the place where the Black God Cult was located.
And it was almost immediately recognizable. A dragon-shaped demonic energy was hovering over a ruined church in Incheon.
No wonder everyone caught them so easily.
This place was roughly… Hmm, it was around Michuhol-gu in Incheon, according to the map.
I arrived in less than twenty minutes, considering I departed from New Seoul.
If I do this right, wouldn’t it be possible to travel overseas for fun with this?
Looking closely, that church was full of holes, and humans wearing black robes were sitting inside.
Hmm. Just by looking at them, I figured they were the executive level of the Black God Cult.
Then I should play the role of the Evil Dragon they desired.
Anyway, seeing them act like that in broad daylight meant they were quite the sinister bunch.
“No matter how I look at it, this doesn’t seem right.”
“Will lamenting our circumstances change anything?”
“Kim Jaesu. That unlucky bastard used our mutants as he pleased. The ones absolutely necessary for our Black God Cult to resurrect! I should have known from the moment he said he was going alone!”
It seemed there was a lot of talk going on inside the Black God Cult as well.
Kim Jaesu. That unlucky bastard. The rhyme was crazy, but just what level was Kim Jaesu at to be cursed out by a pseudo-religious cult like that?
First of all, Kim Jaesu was the one who caused the Academy Attack Incident, but it also seemed true that he took all the Black God Cult mutants with him as he pleased.
Now, then, it was time for their god to descend.
“But our god will soon come to this place.”
Right. I was planning to appear soon anyway.
But if they wished for it that much, it was only human nature to show up.
I descended brightly before the members of our Dahaka Fan Club.
“Is this the Black God Cult?”
“Wh-Who are you!”
“Well, do you know who I am?”
They were seeing me for the first time and tried to swing their weapons, so I showed them a spectacular flame of White Flame.
You guys don’t know what this is, do you? They say it’s the White Flame that only Dahaka knows how to use!
And the members of our Dahaka Fan Club, the Black God Cult, had tears welling up in their eyes as if they had tasted a wave of emotion.
Right. I had to do at least this much.
“Th-This is!”
“Could it really be Lord Dahaka!”
“Ohh. Lord Dahaka has finally descended upon this land!”
Right. With this much, I could slowly start baiting them.
“I am a god. Then why did you attack Hanseong Academy, where a god resides?”
As I carefully spread my killing intent, the executives of the Black God Cult fell to their knees.
Now, to act, it would be best to bring up the past.
The last time Dahaka appeared was in China.
“Could it be?”
“After what happened in China, I was reborn.”
“Then did you actually ascend after being hit by a nuke back then?”
Where the hell did that fucking setting come from?
No matter how strong Dahaka was, wouldn’t he actually die if he got hit by a nuke?
If he died, there was no way he’d be alive like this.
Well, if he was split apart by a nuke and I ate those fragments to gain this power, then maybe.
Ah, fuck it. Let’s just move on.
“I was called by my creator. They said it was enough, that humanity had been sufficiently purified, so now I should save humanity.”
The ultimate goal of the Black God Cult was for the Evil Dragon Dahaka to reappear, wipe out humanity, and have a new humanity build a civilization centered around the Black God Cult in a newly purified world.
Since they were originally going to serve Dahaka as their new god and lead the purified humanity to guide a new world.
In reality, wasn’t the purification work already finished with the Great Cataclysm?
Rather, they had just been doing dirty tricks up until now.
So now I planned to bring the creator into the mix.
“Is that true?”
“It was, but you dared to revere me as a god while committing all sorts of acts of terror, and eventually even caused harm to people.”
Honestly, these were the guys who got taught a harsh lesson by Jinseok-i while doing dirty tricks under the guise of following my will.
The ones who were left all died in Kim Jaesu’s Academy Attack Incident last time. It was a situation where they should be hoping that new followers wouldn’t dwindle.
And yet, this follower was still spitting out laments.
“But look at His Excellency. Is he worth saving? He discriminated against mutants and unconditionally labeled them as villains. He even erected a barrier wall, and those who couldn’t evacuate to Seoul in time were exposed to demonic energy and became mutants!”
Well, that’s not something you cannibals should be saying.
These were the guys who even resorted to cannibalism using my doctrine as an excuse.
They used the old humanity as food, claiming they needed to be purified.
The problem was that all of that actually originated from the Black God Cult resorting to cannibalism because their circumstances were so poor.
Apart from that, President Ha Jeongseok’s actions were definitely a dirty trick on the level of blowing up the Han River bridge during the Peninsulan War.
However, Ha Jeongseok had an excuse for this too. At the time, the city was in chaos due to demonic energy and monsters.
Knowledge was lacking, and putting up a barrier wall was all they could do.
Well, considering the victims, it was understandable to lose one’s mind.
At least from Ha Jeongseok’s perspective, whether it was to protect his power at the time or for whatever else, that was the best option.
“Why wouldn’t I know that? But did you try to understand them? After the Great Cataclysm, mutants appeared, and taking advantage of the chaos, criminals emerged and became villains. Because of them, even normal mutants were generalized as trash.”
The definition of a mutant itself was not a villain.
Of course, it was true that there were many criminals because becoming a mutant made one honest to their desires and such. But the majority of mutants were actually living quietly.
The mutant bastards who simply became villains had stronger power than ordinary people, so that was a big factor.
Considering that the majority of villains were mutants from the Erosion Zone outside of Seoul, I could feel some sympathy for them.
There was the option of annihilating the Black God Cult here.
But I had Kate, for one. And the Black God Cult could become a foundation for me to operate on the outside.
That is, to prevent the new trials that would happen in the future.
“Yes. And yet you’re telling us to understand them?”
“Just because you think this nation’s government is trash doesn’t mean you should generalize everyone else like that.”
“Then what are you thinking, Lord Dahaka?”
Now, right. You have to take the bait like that.
That way I have something to say.
Right. What I want is to have you all from now on.
“I will unite the mutants and create an organization. And I will use them to subjugate the villain groups that only commit real crimes, thereby reassuring the nation.”
“Can we trust the government?”
“A new disaster will strike soon.”
I spoke of the new disaster to the followers of the Black God Cult.
“A new disaster, you say?”
“There are the Seven Deadly Sins who inherited my power early on. They are but a handful compared to me, but they have the power to bring about a disaster.”
We had to prepare for that time.
Even though the Black God Cult was currently at the level of remnants, they still had a foundation of doing villain acts for a long time, and they had me as a symbol.
Simply put, it was about symbolism.
Funnily enough, the Black God Cult originated in Peninsula, but its influence had spread all over the world.
Wasn’t the proof of that the fact that foreign mutants like Kate had been raised as followers since they were young?
If word got out that I had appeared, I could resurrect it.
“We must prepare for that time, then.”
“Will you follow me? Or will you deny me and live on, hating and resenting Hunters and civilians without any foundation?”
Now, how would they react?
“We will follow Lord Dahaka.”
In the end, there was no choice.
The god they served was nagging them to stop right now, so what could they do?
It wasn’t like they could deny me after finally finding me,
And their forces were now insignificant, so their backs were against the wall.
Therefore, they had no choice but to choose me.
“Right. Before that, are there any female followers left in the Black God Cult?”
“Yes. Excluding our executives, the majority are female followers. The men who could be of strength all died early on.”
“Ahem. Then I will keep the women as my direct subordinates.”
“Yes.”
So I could fuck them whenever I wanted.
However, if this happened, the problem was where to place the Black God Cult base.
It was only because Hunters weren’t interested right now. If Ha Jeongseok made up his mind and sent Hunters here to subjugate the Black God Cult again, it would be over.
Then moving the main base was also an option.
Ah, what about Songdo? I think there was a penthouse in Songdo New City where villains lived in hiding in the latter half of the story. The world before the Great Cataclysm was the same as that world, so it might still be there.
“Is Songdo intact?”
“Yes. Lord Dahaka. Currently, Songdo is empty.”
“You know that well.”
“As Lord Dahaka said, we were considering Songdo as a candidate to move our Base/Stronghold to.”
That meant it was before other villains moved in.
Then that was good. The Black God Cult could go there in advance, settle down, and act as a central hub in earnest.
We would slowly build up our forces there and fight against the disaster.
The Peninsula-China War was the firstborn of the disasters that the Seven Deadly Sins intervened in.
In the end, Peninsula won this too through the struggles of the Peninsulan Hunters, starting with Choi Siwoo, but wouldn’t it be better to win easily?
The mutants had to play an active role here.
Since I had to live here anyway, Peninsula had to reclaim all the erosion zones for me. For that to happen, the integration of mutants and ordinary people was important.
Mutants were hated because of villain activities.
And to change this image, the Peninsula-China War was the best opportunity.
I would expand the mutant forces again based on the Black God Cult, and somehow reach a compromise by helping the Peninsulan government during the Peninsula-China War.
“We will make that place our main base. It’ll be better since there’s a new city at least. The Black God Cult is a bit in danger here. Since it’s directly exposed.”
“Yes.”
“And I will keep Kate with me.”
“You mean Kate?”
Of course, what I mainly wanted was to use her for fucking.
“Right. Kate will be by my side in Seoul. I plan to keep Kate as my liaison. And starting with Songdo, shouldn’t we properly set up the infrastructure?”
“Songdo’s infrastructure is preserved to some extent. It seems we will have to bring in what we lack from Seoul.”
“Do you have anything that can make money?”
“I know there is a massive magic stone mine near Songdo. We can sell those and bring in what we need from Seoul.”
That shouldn’t be too difficult.
Right. We could just use the Cheonsan Group, the Samsong Electronics of this world.
“Understood. But about Kate…”
The followers' eyes turned to Kate, who was in my arms.
“Ah, I bestowed some grace upon her.”
“Ohhh. Lord Dahaka’s grace!”
They had expressions that said their mouths were watering.
It was a grace you guys would never receive, so don’t make faces like you’re hoping for it.
There was no way I’d do something like scissoring with dick-havers.
“So don’t worry, and go build a base and gather forces again in Songdo New City. From now on, the Black God Cult must become the central hub for mutants, not villains.”
“Yes. We will keep that in mind.”
This should be enough. Now, then, next up is the team battle.
After the team battle event and a few minor events pass, the Peninsula-China War will break out.
Then should the Black God Cult just hold out until then?
For now.
Before going back, I fucked Kate while she was asleep.
