Chapter 141. Demon of Prophecy I – PLAYER WHO RETURNED 10,000 YEARS LATER

Chapter 141. Demon of Prophecy I

– This is…

– Fuh. It’s probably hard to believe.

“No… no,” Si Hoon said in a trembling voice.

Gaia turned her head towards Grace.

– Grace, give that thing.

– Wait a minute, – she raised her hand.

Blue energy began to accumulate in her palm.

The white walls parted to reveal a translucent round object that glowed blue. He, like a hologram, floated through the air and eventually landed on the table in front of them.

– What is this? – Si Hoon asked, watching the blue object.

– This is the state of the Earth at the moment, – Gaia reached out and touched the bluish sphere, it was enveloped in a white shroud.

The white shell resembled an atmosphere in which gaps began to appear here and there.

– This white light…

“That’s right, it is he who reflects the state of the Gaia System.

Silence fell. Kang Woo narrowed his eyes and got a closer look at the blue sphere.

“Oh shit.”

The situation was not good. No, not even very bad.

Although Kang Woo didn’t know what this white shell was like and how bright it was, but now it is all covered with holes and emits a dim light.

– Is there no way to restore the System? – this question interested Kang Woo exactly as much as the promotion.

Namely, the restoration of the Gaia System, which began to collapse due to himself.

Gaia smiled faintly and shook her head.

– For now, there is no way to restore it. – she said confidently.

But Kang Woo’s eyes still flashed.

– You said “now”, which means that such a method may appear?

– Well… – she didn’t finish her sentence and took a deep breath. – The System has a recovery function. But we haven’t found her yet. Therefore, we continue to believe that one day the System can be restored.

– Don’t know when?

– No… – She bit her lip slightly. “To be honest… We’re not even sure the recovery function even exists. In the worst case scenario, the System may disappear altogether.

Worst case scenario.

Kang Woo sighed heavily. In fact, he wouldn’t be surprised if the restore function was really missing. An oppressive silence hung in the room, and so Gaia quickly continued:

– There is still hope.

– Is there?

She clenched her fists and continued:

– We think that if you destroy the demon from the prophecy, the System will be restored.

“Woman, this is definitely not an option,” Kang Woo touched his forehead with his hand. “Because this demon is me.”

What he certainly wasn’t going to do was commit suicide to save the world. It would be a stupid choice, because he is fighting for the liberation of the Earth and its peace.

“Don’t blow the elephant out of a fly.”

He’s not some kind of monster trying to destroy all life. He just wants to live quietly with a beautiful girl like Han Seol and eat deliciously.

– I would like to ask you something, – said Si Hoon, who had been quietly listening to them before.

– Ask.

– Is your current state somehow connected with… the destruction of the System?

– Oh… – Gaia exhaled briefly.

From her reaction it was clear that she would like to avoid answering. Which is why Grace answered instead:

– Yes, her body suffered from the destruction of the System.

– Grace!

– We have nothing to hide.

– But… – Gaia didn’t finish.

Grace touched her shoulder and continued:

– The Guardians” mission was to heal Gaia, – touched her lips affectionate smile.

Her eyes were filled with love and concern for Gaia.

– Is there any way to cure her?

– Yes.

– Grace, why give them unnecessary information…

– Why? We have common goals.

– This is…

What a strange dialogue. Si Hoon looked at Grace.

– If you destroy the demon from the prophecy, will Gaia’s body be healed?

– Well, not really. We’re not sure if the System can recover from killing him, but… this is the most likely way.

Si Hoon clenched his fists tightly, and his gaze, directed at Gaia, trembled.

“No, Si Hoon, – Kang Woo again put his hand to his forehead, watching after how fighting spirit awakens in Si Hun. “You cannot kill a demon from a prophecy.”

He only had to imagine how Si Hoon, whom he raised, raises a sword at him, his head immediately began to hurt.

“Go crazy,” Kang Woo frowned, the situation began to get complicated. “This is not a problem that will go away by itself.”

This is a prophecy. The Guardians will certainly find this demon. Kang Woo didn’t know yet if they had the ability that would help them distinguish the normal demon from the demon from the prophecy, but he was confident that they would not back down.

“How can I be?” – literally at the moment his head was empty.

While Kang Woo was lost in thought, the conversation continued:

– Is there more information about this demon from the prophecy? Si Hoon asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

Gaia answered neatly:

– This is not accurate information, but there are several assumptions.

– Tell me.

“Why are you doing this, Si Hong?”

– I want to know more about this demon.

“It’s me, bastard,” Kang Woo shouted inwardly. but Si Hoon, of course, could not hear it.

It seemed that Si Hoon was interested in this more than anyone else present. After all, it was about the restoration of Gaia’s body.

– The demon from the prophecy… he has already arrived on Earth.

– Is he already here?

– Yes, – The woman nodded her head.

– He arrived about nine months ago. To be more precise… then May 22.

“Fuck”.

– The System rebooted that day and it began to crash.

“They even know the exact date.”

If they know the time of his appearance, the likelihood that he will actually be found becomes even greater.

– After that day, he did not give himself away?

– No. According to our assumption, the System was able to seal the forces with which he planned to attack the Earth.

– Saying “seal the forces” …

– One way or another, the Guardians have been investigating since that very day. Whether it was a strong man or a Hellish teacher, he could take any form.

S * ki.

If they’re really investigating, then it’s not that hard to find everyone who became Player on May 22nd. Given that Kang Woo is not a Protector, his incredible powers will certainly attract attention. Its development rate cannot be described by the usual “talent”.

“It’s a miracle that I haven’t been caught yet.”

We need to find a way to get rid of suspicion. All of Kang Woo’s thoughts are messed up.

“How can I be… Huh?.”

At that moment, a dull booming sound was heard. Si Hoon hit the table with his fist and stood up abruptly.

– I see. Since this is the case…

“What’s wrong with him?”

Si Hoon’s voice trembled. He bit his lip so hard that it was about to bleed.

– What is it, Defender Si Hong?

– I understand.

– What?

The guy’s eyes lit up more than ever, and he spat out:

– I think I know who this demon from the prophecy is.

“What?”

– Who is this?.

There is voltage in the room. Si Hoon continued in a low voice:

– Satan. He certainly is that demon from the prophecy.

“Ah, wait a second.”

– You say… Satan?

– Yes. I didn’t tell anyone about this, but I met with him three months ago.

“How did it happen?”

Kang Woo opened his mouth. To be honest, he could not predict such a turn in any way.

– Si Hoon, what…

– I’m sorry I didn’t say it before. I was worried that if I drag you into this, you will get hurt.

– Tell me more, Defender Si Hong.

“Alex Osborne called me that day and I arrived on the roof of his hotel,” Si Hoon continued.

The more he talked, the more serious Grace and Gaia got.

– So… the reason why Defender Alex disappeared…

– He was not killed Infernal teachers, and the demon from the prophecy?

The faces of the two women were colored with horror. Si Hoon nodded his head.

– Correct.

“Si Hong.”

– Then I didn’t know why Satan attacked Alex… but now it seems, I understand.

“I love you Si Hong.”

– Then he said that he was getting rid of the Guardians threatening his existence.

“Yes! Well done! You are correct!”

– It is Satan who is the demon from the prophecy.

– A, ah-ah… – exclaimed Gaia.

On Si Hoon’s words Kang Woo got up abruptly.

– Kang Woo?

– Kang Woo?

He put his hands on Si Hoon’s shoulders with anger in his eyes.

– Are you saying that Satan threatened you?

– Oh, well…

– Tell the truth. It’s aimed at your life, right?

– Yes…

Si Hoon remembered the events of that day with shame and nodded. Kang Woo looked at Gaia.

– Guardians. Can they only include Defenders?

– What? It was originally intended…

– Now is not the right situation to adhere to the rules, – Kang Woo said confidently and the space around was filled with a strong energy. – I will also become a Keeper.

There was no exit.
