Chapter 111
* * *
Nanjing Presidential Palace, China
After the Great Cataclysm, China entered a period of great chaos. Countless people died, and with Aži Dahāka's appearance, the damage was immense. As a result, the Chinese Communist Party Government moved its capital to Nanjing, and the Chinese people who remained in the north, fighting Monsters and defending their land, grew into Warlords. Over 70% of China's Hunters were trained by the Beijing Warlords, and the Nanjing Government funded them, thus sustaining China's Hunter Society. Chinese President of State Zhang Xueti (Zhang Hedi) read the news of the Cheongwadae attack in Korea and burst out laughing.
While he was enjoying himself, a hunter from Nanjing, who had been in contact with Beijing, sought out Zhang Xueti. The atmosphere was good for once. Why spoil it?
“Hmm, I'm happy to hear good news for a change. What is it? Judging by your face, it must be important, no?” “Yes, yes. Good news from Beijing has arrived as well!” “Alright. Tell me.”
News is coming from Beijing, so it must be important.
“Beijing has developed a magic stone that allows for a Second Awakening, strengthening individuals without turning them into Mutants.”
“It won’t explode like last time, will it? How many died in those experiments?”
It wasn't just once or twice. How many Uyghur people died? Compared to other countries, a population of 700 million is still large, but compared to Pre-Cataclysm times, the population has significantly decreased, making every single person precious. Furthermore, considering the division among the Warlords, the territory currently governed by Zhang Xueti's regime only has a population of just over 300 million.
“They say it has all been rectified.”
“Hmm, they’re not asking for more budget, are they?”
Are they just taking money again to conduct useless experiments? If so, I should root them out completely this time.
“No, Sir. It’s General Wang Wei’s report, suggesting we take over the North Korea region while we have the chance.”
“North Korea?”
“Yes. Considering the recent Ha Jeongseok incident, General Wang Wei says that Korea is not what it used to be. Even the First Divine Sword couldn’t handle a single Villain, and not only Ha Jeongseok’s Subordinates but also Choi Cheolsik’s Association Hunters are all dead; so now is the time to strike.”
The North Korea region is truly known as a core-producing area. If we could just acquire that region, China's economy would revive. Frankly, our relationship with Korea no longer holds much significance. Our relationship with Ha Jeongseok was already at its worst, and I was always just waiting for a chance to crush it. Now is the time for the Chinese Nation to rise again.
“Alright. Let’s try it. Contact Wang Wei. Tell him to form a legion with those enhanced Hunters and give it a try. Of course, it must be done in secret. The West still cannot be ignored. Make sure Wang Wei understands this clearly.”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Now then, perhaps I should give Ha Jeongseok a consolation call for old times’ sake? *Kukukuk*.”
The fact that Ha Jeongseok's hair was pulled out by a mere Villain, and that Korea's Hunter power was weakened, greatly pleased me. Now, at last, is the time for the Chinese Nation to rise again. With the Great Cataclysm, the era of American Hegemony ended, and ideological barriers like Liberalism and Communism crumbled. During the modernization era, Japan held hegemony, and after the Great Cataclysm, in the Hunter Era, Korea held hegemony in Asia, but now it is different. Thanks to the experiments, if the quality of Hunters improves, creating a Hunter Army of over a million will not be difficult. Then, to awaken the pride of the Chinese Nation, we can establish an Emperor's Nation, that is, an Empire.
“Yes. Not just a President, I will become an Emperor and seize hegemony.”
Chinese President of State Zhang Xueti (Zhang Hedi) smiled sinisterly.
* * *
Through Baekhwa TV, I officially declared the occupation of Gyeonggi Province, excluding the northern parts, and at the same time, I announced my ambition to seize full control of all Erosion Zones, leveraging this opportunity.
*Ah, it's really not just for Yongyong-i's queenly games. This was the necessary next step.*
In any case, this was tantamount to a Declaration of War against the Villain groups still remaining in the Erosion Zones. It's not like we're fighting the Government anyway. The people in the Quarantine Zones, that is, the Erosion Zones, are abandoned by the Government, with no official records, so even if they die, the nation won't compensate them.
On the other hand, viewers were quite enthusiastic. Especially, Hunters who had experienced the Great Deluge Event didn't hold back their support. They were in no position to do it themselves, so they wished for me to do it instead. Yes, for example, real-time search trends on the internet were also in an uproar.
1. Baldy Ha Jeongseok
2. Baldy Ha Jeongseok
3. Ha Jeongseok Industry Reward
4. Baekhwa
5. Baekhwa Cult Occupies Gyeonggi Province
5. Baekhwa Declares Conquest of Erosion Zones
This is a bit shocking, isn't it? My two hands, holding the laptop, are trembling.
“*Huh, how can this be?* Is Baekhwa Cult’s popularity not even enough to beat Ha Jeongseok’s hair?!”
Baby Yongyong-i is so shocked. How can I be less popular than Ha Jeongseok the Baldy?! No. I can't accept this. If that bastard's head is so important, how important could it be? Should I have just pulled out all his hair? No, pretty Villains should usually get more attention than bald middle-aged men, shouldn't they?
“It’s because there aren’t just one or two people who suffered due to Ha Jeongseok.” “Everywhere you look, it’s just memes of Ha Jeongseok the Baldy. He’s even famous overseas as *the Korean Crazy Egg*.”
That's right. After the Cheongwadae attack, communities were flooded with GIFs of the Heroines and me pulling out Ha Jeongseok's hair.
“Not even a President, but *Crazy Egg*?” “Most national Leaders nowadays are from the Swiss International Hunter School, aren’t they? Perhaps it has spread so widely because they all know each other and are laughing at him.”
There was definitely such a setting. As the world changed, leaders were also replaced by Hunter-origin individuals. Even in China, the Beijing Warlords cannot treat the Nanjing Government lightly because Zhang Xueti, a former graduate of the Swiss International Hunter School, is the President of State. Graduates of the Swiss school cannot deny that legitimacy, because they are practically Hunters from the early Great Cataclysm. Given the times, the position of a Hunter from the early Great Cataclysm is granted strong legitimacy. It was correct to assume that most current national leaders were from that Swiss school and knew each other. Perhaps his classmates who had a hard time because of Ha Jeongseok spread those rumors. Even so.
“How did it reach overseas?” “Many foreigners watched that live broadcast.” “*Crazy Egg*, what even is that?”
Does "Crazy Egg" suit Ha Jeongseok's face? His head did shine after it was shaved. But "Crazy Egg"? What on earth did he do during his Swiss days? I don't even want to know. What's important is that the Baekhwa Cult has become known to the world. But a moment ago, Eumseupmari started having a fit next to me.
Still, the world must know about this now. *Ugh*. I won’t be able to go back to Triton, will I?
Her trembling was almost pitiful, her head in hands. *But I'm Yongyong-i, and I can't live without stating the facts.* I pointed at the handle and the hand floating above her head.
“You think you can go back looking like that?”
“*Hmph*.”
Even if she disguised herself, she couldn't go back. She only came here in her true form because I lent her Kate. Even if I gave her a hundred chances and called her current physical change a new awakening, what she now contains is more demonic energy than magic power, meaning she could be exposed as a Mutant.
“Didn’t I say I’d take care of you and your Mom?”
Eumseupmari, trying to pretend to cry in front of me? A hundred years too early.
“Even I find it funny.”
Choi Siwoo also smiled faintly.
“What are you going to do now? If you really take over all the Erosion Zones, then foreign countries might intervene.”
We can't ignore foreign media, can we? There's clearly a Villain Group on the Peninsula that even Korea's Guild Alliance couldn't defeat.
“There’s nothing we can’t do.” “How did I end up with such a crazy woman?” “Want to try a Mother-Daughter Threesome?”
Damn it, maybe I should just tie Rachel up with force and ram her with my tail. Now that I think about it, making Rachel and Reina's privates visible, tying them both to the bed with Kikkou Shibari, and then having my way with them seems like a good idea.
“N-no, thank you!”
When I see her blush, it seems she's slowly getting interested in a Mother-Daughter Threesome. If I push a little more, maybe I can have a grand feast today.
“Well, just kidding. For now, we need to strengthen our ties with the Cheonsan Group. Most of the Erosion Zones are Ruins. There’s no proper infrastructure. Senior Yujeong, can the Cheonsan Group invest that much money?”
Ultimately, the Cheonsan Group's support is absolutely essential. No matter how much money we have, it's difficult to receive external help because we are Villains, unless we grow to the level of a nation-state and push for negotiations with other countries.
“Well, if it’s you, Older Sister, it’s not impossible.” “The problem is, to provide that level of support, there’s a limit to what can be done with backroom deals. Right?” “Yeah, something like that.”
No matter how great the Cheonsan Group is, establishing infrastructure cannot be done alone. While it is excellent in various fields, perhaps even restoring buildings would be difficult for the Cheonsan Group to do by itself. If we occupy all the Erosion Zones, it will be the size of a nation. The budget will probably be enormous.
“Alright, then I’ll negotiate. Choi Siwoo, what about you?”
“Half of the Saengdo have already been transformed into Mutants.”
“Already?”
“The Saengdo with Snake Eyes are my subordinates, and yours too.”
“Oh.”
Now that I think about it, there were more girls with snake eyes at the Academy. At first, I thought purple reptilian eye color contacts were trending. But they weren't. Those girls would smile with their eyes whenever they saw me. That must mean they knew something about me.
“How do you make them?”
When Han Suji asked, Choi Siwoo smiled alluringly.
“Curious?”
Choi Siwoo stuck out a long tongue. Somehow, a sticky black liquid flowed down her tongue. I quickly kissed Choi Siwoo.
*Slurp, slurp*
As I tasted the black, sticky, petroleum-like substance flowing from her mouth, it was definitely a concentrated demonic energy with Siwoo's distinct scent. So this is how she turns Saengdo into Mutants and controls them. If it weren't for me, I might have been controlled too. Stopping the kiss, I looked at Choi Siwoo. The sticky black liquid that had been flowing near her mouth naturally went back in, and she gave me a lewd expression. I lightly touched below, and it was wet.
“*Haaang♥*”
“You lewd bitch. Just a little tongue-sucking and your downstairs is already wet.”
“*Haa. Haa.* Just imagining Eunha beneath me...”
“Where do you get off saying such presumptuous things?”
I touched her clit with both hands, and she climaxed right there in front of everyone.
“I suspect Choi Siwoo might have been a woman from the start. She must have been transforming into a man until now. Otherwise, a person wouldn’t end up like this.”
“Right. For that sweet man to change like that.”
I want to agree with what they're saying, but Choi Siwoo was destined for Feminine Corruption from the start, given the preconditions.
First, he was a crazy bastard who cut ties with all the Heroines and regressed the world, all to save it. The pleasure of a female is hard to resist, from the perspective of a male who originally enjoyed pleasure by *poking around* everywhere. The greatly wavering Choi Siwoo was imbued with lust.
No matter how much of a Divine Sword owner he is, it's hard to resist. Even Choi Sia, the Divine Sword herself, has fallen. For example, even I threw away my office worker days and am enjoying myself in this body, aren't I?
“Then let’s divide the roles. Since we need to expand further now, Reina and Senior Yujeong will guard Songdo. Rosemary, Suji, and if Siwoo has time, she’ll expand our influence. Destroy all Gates you see, Siwoo. You understand what I mean?”
“Mm-hm.”
“Alright, then I’ll go negotiate with Lee Yujin and have my way with Seo Jiyeon.”
I have a lot to do today. I have a strong feeling, especially with Seo Jiyeon, today. A feeling that I can have sex. The rich scent of a Slug is emanating.
“*Ugh*.”
“Why?”
“It’s nothing.”
Leaving Reina, who was looking at me with a pathetic expression, I concluded today's Treasonous Plot. The problem is Lee Yujin. Rebuilding a city will probably be back-breaking work. No matter how many cores I provide, it will depend on my Persuasion this time.
