Chapter 136
The fake Yellow Dragon that Zhang Wei had become was 3-second-KO’d and turned to dust the moment it hit the ground.
And the remaining Sin Main Body (the eyeball)…
“Yum yum?”
Yongyong-i reportedly ate it with relish. The wretched eyeball, having lost all its hosts, tried to slither away from me, so I devoured it in a frenzy. While lesser, foolish beings are merely exploited if the main body takes them as a host, if I eat it, I can absorb its power in reverse. When the other kids become strong enough to withstand the Sin, I can implant the Sin I’m holding within me into them. Until then, I’ll just be doubling as the Gluttony Sin. And right now, I am being embraced by the Heroines.
“Amazing. You dealt with the Sin so easily.”
“Are you okay?”
Heeheehee. Truly. I’m incredibly happy. Breasts here, breasts there.
“Is this the end of it all?”
“Pretty much, I guess?”
I’d captured Zhang Wei and Pingtao, and I’d even eaten the Fragment, so it was over.
“I was so surprised when you collapsed at first. But where did that power come from?”
“Yu Eunha evolution~ Mega Yu Eunha?”
When you get stronger, something usually gets added to your name, right? Like Super, or Mega, or Giga. It seems Author Yu Eunha did something, but if she hadn’t, I would have come Out as Evil and become an Evil Dragon, which would have been a huge problem.
“What are you talking about? Ugh. These horns, what are these horns?”
Two black horns had appeared on my head. They felt a little different from the horns I usually brought out. A bit more powerful, perhaps? Strangely, I couldn’t adjust their size immediately. It seemed to be because my Phase 2 had become stronger than I expected, and I wasn’t used to it. So, originally, my Phase 2 was my first Transformation state where my tail, wings, and horns would emerge. But now, with just the horns out, I had this much destructive power. So, I decided to call it 1.5 Phase. Or 1.2 Phase. But then Jiyeon-i grabbed one of the horns and pulled.
“It’ll probably shrink a bit later. Ahh. Ngh. Th-that feels good there!”
It had a strange sensation. Every time someone touched my horns, they felt oddly sensitive.
“So, is the war over now?”
“No, it doesn’t seem to be over yet.”
Across the river, there were countless Hunters. Yes. Chinese Hunters with Fragments of Sin. They seemed to be moving to retrieve the main body of the Fragment that I had swallowed.
“Wow, they’re swarming like cockroaches.”
Half of it is probably my fault.
“Are those bastards still trying to fight even after losing their commander?” “An army without a head is nothing but a disorganized rabble. We’ll crush them as they come.” “Yu Eunha. Well done. All of you too. Leave the rest to us now.”
The Hunters, the Baekhwa Cult, and the Golems finished preparing for battle against the Chinese Hunter Army that would cross the river.
“Hwaaah! Hwaaah! Wh-what is that?!”
“Why are you having another fit, Sister Beubmi?”
“Look at that! Hwaaah! That shiny thing over there!”
I heard Beubmi and Geumtaeyang chattering behind me. Those humans ruined the good atmosphere I had with the Heroines. But my Heroines were also looking at something. Something was flying across the sky, leaving a white trail.
“Wait, isn’t that your missile? That Semen Bomb? One, two, three, four. How many are there?”
“Roughly over a hundred, wouldn’t you say?”
“Yu Eunha. What’s that talk? How much did you ‘shoot’ to make something like that?”
What do you mean, ‘shoot’?
“No, do you think I’m some bukkake guy? I’m a woman! That’s not a Semen Bomb! It’s a missile!”
At the very least, they should call it a vaginal fluid missile. No, that’s also a crazy thing to say. For now, I need to find out where those insane missiles are going.
“But where are they flying?” “North. Huh? Come to think of it, those are targeted only by the Monster Interception System, and they’re set to operate outside the Korean Peninsula.”
They were specifically for hitting Monsters that appeared after they crossed into Korea.
“So, if they’re set for the North…”
“Ah. Probably a million-strong army.”
Whoosh-BOOM! BOOM!
Just as I expected, my Semen Bombs - no, Magic Missiles - rained down on the Chinese Monster Hunters. The shining missiles fell into that massive sea of humanity.
“…Starlight falls. Sharalalalalala.”
“Don’t deny reality! Your Semen Bombs are wiping out a million people, aren’t they?!”
“Please, stop. I’m feeling self-loathing.”
I really wanted to crawl into a mouse hole.
BOOM! BOOM! CRASH!
For a while, the missiles cleaned out that vast field of Mutants amidst screams. Not just the Heroines and I, but all the Guild Alliance members were dumbfounded. Of course. Missiles were suddenly falling. Each one was a powerful explosion. It was an attack that vaporized a million people. After a long time, the war ended. Not a single member of the Chinese Hunter Legion survived. They didn’t even try to escape. They were brainwashed to retrieve the Gluttony Main Body, which was making its last struggle inside me.
“Where did those missiles come from?” “Those are similar to the missiles that destroyed the Yellow Dragon, aren’t they? So they came from Songdo?” “Then what do we do with these Cores?” “Could Baekhwa be trying to monopolize them?”
This was the problem after the war. The Guild Alliance looked at the Cores stretching across the river to the horizon and offered their opinions. Regardless, the foolish Chinese Hunters had sacrificed their bodies to the Fragments, turning into Mutants, and as a result, Cores were left behind. During Park Junhyeok’s time, they were torn out before fully merging, but these Chinese Bastards had their Fragments and hearts fused, so only Cores remained after their deaths. Naturally, the Cores obtained until now as spoils of war were divided among the Hunters as compensation for their lives and for post-war reconstruction, but a million Cores were a different story.
“Wow, it’s a field of Cores. Wow.”
Raina was also astonished.
“Uh, it’s hard to say this, but it’s like… what do you call it? Items? The kind that drop when all the enemies die in an RPG game.”
“Ah, you mean when you kill all the mobs through grinding without picking up items, and then only the items appear?”
“Yeah. That.”
I knew that well too. I remembered getting angry when those items were stolen.
“Eunha, how on earth do you kill people - no, Mutants - with semen?”
Jiyeon-i said something frightening.
“No, this is just magic power in the missile…”
“Are you putting missile fuel in your Lover’s womb?”
Oh, I never thought I’d hear that from Jiyeon-i. No, what kind of human puts missile fuel in their Lover’s body? Not liquid fuel, not solid fuel.
“No, logically, a gaseous fuel of nuclear bomb proportions like this couldn’t possibly exist.”
“Couldn’t you do it?”
Hmm, there was no point in arguing further. But if I kept insisting, my magic power would just be treated as fuel, so I reluctantly admitted it, despite the humiliation.
“It’s semen. I’m sorry. It’s semen. Sniff.” “Eunha is truly amazing to make missiles out of semen. A pervert.”
That’s really too much. How could a woman, not a man, have semen? And where would gaseous semen even come from?
My mouth was itching to retort, but I held back.
I had caused them too much worry, after all.
“Half and half.” “When Lady Baekhwa caught it alone, half and half?”
Since Baekhwa wasn’t present, the Guild Alliance negotiated with Elise. I secretly sent a message to Elise’s Magic Gear, saying I’d only take 400,000 out of the 1 million Cores, even though I was entitled to all of them. That was probably Ray’s missile. Strictly speaking, it was right for me to get all the Cores. But it seemed Cheongwadae and the Association had also spent a lot of money in this war. Especially the Magic Purifiers, which purified the surrounding magic to create an environment where Normal Hunters could fight easily, were used tremendously during the advance north. Charging them required high-purity magic stones, so it would cost astronomical sums. So, this much support was necessary. After the negotiations, all the Cores were collected, and the Allied Forces were reorganized.
“Guild Alliance, check for stragglers and casualties. Inspect the Magic Purifiers! Cooperate with the Mutant Army!” “Mutant Army, inspect the Amnok River Fortress. Cooperate with the Guild Alliance!”
The sight of Villains and the Guild Alliance cooperating filled me with a sense of grandeur.
“But Eunha. What about this? Pingtao, I mean.”
Siwoo poked Pingtao’s head, which was rolling on the ground.
“Her? I have a plan.”
It seemed the Guild Alliance and the Hunters weren’t paying any attention to Pingtao. I put Pingtao’s severed head into Subspace. The war was over, and it seemed there would be plenty of fun to be had for a while.

Pyeongyang
The war ended in a great victory for Korea. Zhang Xueti, who had even considered nuclear weapons in extreme cases, didn’t know about the existence of Sin. However, Zhang Xueti had approved the war, and the Sin Hunter Legion created by Zhang Wei had killed over 20,000 Korean Hunters and soldiers, so he couldn’t escape responsibility. In other words, he was a War Criminal. Thus, only China’s unconditional surrender followed. Of course, Zhang Xueti did not appear at the surrender ceremony. He was actually bedridden. To prove it wasn’t a lie, he even entrusted the Vice President position to Tian Yuan, a Hunter Public Security official, to surrender on his behalf. In Pyeongyang, China’s unconditional surrender was formally signed.
“I will sign the instrument of surrender.”
Vice President Tian Yuan prepared to sign the instrument of surrender. He didn’t know how things had come to this, but now he had to accept the surrender and deal with the vacant Beijing problem.
“Why isn’t the War Criminal Zhang Xueti brought here? Why isn’t that trash, who tried to crush Korea using even Sin, here?”
“The President of State knows nothing about Sin…”
“Didn’t that bastard start the war? I’d like to execute him.”
“That…”
While Sin was involved in the war, ultimately, it was Zhang Xueti who approved it. So, he should have come in person.
“Well, fine. It’s not the first time that coward has been afraid of me. Pitiful, but I’ll be generous.”
Tian Yuan, who had been frowning at Ha Jeongseok’s words, examined the clauses written in the instrument of surrender. There were only a few clauses, and Tian Yuan found them acceptable. But one particular clause made Tian Yuan foam at the mouth.
“Wait a moment. What on earth is this?”
Tian Yuan’s eyes widened at the reparations amount written in the document. How many zeros were there?
“Can’t you see? It says 300 billion dollars.”
“Pfft.”
Shinohara Yuzuki, who was mediating, let out a small laugh.
“It’s natural for a defeated nation to pay reparations, but 300 billion is a bit excessive. I’d rather use nuclear weapons than this.”
“Do you still think you can use nuclear weapons?”
“…”
They couldn’t use them. There was no telling when missiles might fly from Songdo again, missiles that had vaporized a million people.
“If you don’t have the money, then give us something worth 300 billion.”
“We don’t have anything like that…”
China was isolated from the world, and Zhang Xueti had poured the budget into the Beijing Warlords, so there was nothing they could do at that time.
“So, we lost over 20,000 people, and we just accept the surrender and call it a day?”
“We lost over 1.3 million, and possibly more.”
Unlike the original story, Korea achieved a great victory, but suffered over 20,000 casualties. China, however, suffered at least 1.3 million. With the Beijing Hunters annihilated, damage accumulated from Monster invasions. Even at this very moment, Beijing is accumulating damage, so China’s losses were far too great.
“Isn’t invading enough reason to die?”
“Ugh.”
Vice President Tian Yuan had no choice but to pay the corresponding price. Tian Yuan shed silent tears. This was why Zhang Xueti had made him Vice President. Since he signed the instrument of surrender, wouldn’t he be the one to receive the most blame? But there was no other way. Currently, China has a large population but no capacity to wage war. If Korea decided to invade Nanjing, there was no way to stop it. Thus, what Korea received was 150 billion dollars in reparations and the Northeast Three Provinces. The number of Monsters in the Northeast Three Provinces was enormous. There were countless Gates, and just subjugating that region could yield immense profits. Tian Yuan had given that Golden Fishing Ground to Korea. Since it was already difficult to defend Beijing, the Northeast Three Provinces had become an unimportant region, so giving it away didn’t matter. As Ha Jeongseok saw off the gloomy-faced Tian Yuan, his Chief of Staff approached him.
“Didn’t those guys covet North Korea because of the Cores in the first place? But why didn’t they use that vast Golden Fishing Ground?” “Secretary Choi, you still have a lot to learn. Is it that those guys coveted North Korean land only since yesterday or today? Well, thanks to this, I’ve gained justification for long-term rule and public support, so it doesn’t seem like a bad outcome.”
The contents of Ha Jeongseok’s call with Zhang Xueti had spread among the Hunters, known and unknown.
The conversation where Ha Jeongseok threatened Zhang Xueti to prevent him from using nuclear weapons was enough to uplift the Citizens.
And as Ha Jeongseok’s approval rating rose, Shinohara Yuzuki, judging that there was a need to further improve relations with Korea, decided to build a personal friendship with Ha Jeongseok.
Of course, Shinohara Yuzuki’s true intentions were not so pure.
She had hesitated to support the Shinsengumi and had only prepared to receive refugees, failing to get involved in the Korea-China War.
As a result, Shinohara’s approval rating had dropped slightly, which was a problem.
Therefore, relations with Korea were even more important.
“Congratulations on the victory in the war, President, Your Excellency.” “Not at all. I heard you prepared support troops and were ready to receive our refugees in Kyushu. How fortunate that Korea and Shinohara share such deep friendship.”
Ha Jeongseok smiled meaningfully. Shinohara Yuzuki also smiled meaningfully. The leaders of the two nations appeared peaceful on the surface.
