Episode 254. Epilogue (2) – Megarapora
Noon the next day.
A young man was standing in front of a tall building, looking up at it.
Since he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, no one could recognize his face.
“… It worked. “They even built a building on this expensive Gangnam land.”
He mumbled and then walked towards the front door of the building.
The main gate had the words ‘Finders Clan’ engraved in English.
“welcome. “What business have you come here for?”
As soon as he entered the entrance, the receptionist at the counter asked him a question.
“I came to meet the representative.”
“Representative? What’s your name?”
“This is Kim Jeong-seon.”
“Kim Jeong-seon… . Ah yes. “Follow me.”
Soon the young man followed the beautiful employee into the elevator together.
The elevator door opened at the landing floor, and the employee bowed politely to the young man entering.
As he walked inside, he was greeted by two other female employees.
“You’re Kim Jeong-seon, right? Please wait.”
“Representative, this is Mr. Kim Jeong-seon. “Yes, please come in.”
Two female employees guide a young man to the president’s office after reporting on the phone.
Only after completing all the procedures was the young man able to enter the president’s office.
“ah! “You’re here!”
As he entered, the young man inside came running towards him with socks.
Finder Clan’s Korean branch representative, Park Jin-woong.
There are only a few people in the world whom he treats with such kindness.
However, the young man in front of me must be treated with the utmost respect.
“Why did you come in through the front door this time, Jinseong? Just like before, you can conveniently use the direct warp line… .”
If you don’t treat Kim Jin-seong, the person who made the Finder Clan the world’s best intelligence dealer, with the utmost respect, then who can you treat with the utmost respect?
“I wanted to come through the front gate once. “Do you have everything ready for me?”
“of course! Please wait a moment.”
Park Jin-woong immediately ran back to the desk, opened the last locked compartment, and came back to Kim Jin-seong holding two small items.
“First of all, this is the information you requested. “This time, I kept it on an encrypted USB.”
“Thank you.”
“And, it is said that this is a gift prepared by Master Hong.”
Kim Jin-seong, who received the second envelope held out, immediately opened it and checked the contents.
“… “It’s a card.”
“yes. This is the Baekdu Clan Abyss card. “Do you know what it is?”
“I’ve heard of it.”
This is the highest grade card that is only available to a very small number of VVIPs among those associated with the Baekdu Clan.
The card that allows you to receive all services related to the Baekdu Clan for free and with the highest level of hospitality is the ‘Abyss’ grade card that Jinseong Kim is currently holding.
“I’ll be grateful if I give it to you, but I don’t know if I’ll ever use it.”
“Hahaha, well, Jinseong is a person who doesn’t have much greed for money.”
“But it’s still better than nothing. “I guess I’ll have to say thank you later.”
Kim Jin-seong, who inserted the card into the phone case, looked at Park Jin-woong again.
“I guess there were two more things I asked for?”
“Sure. Could it be that I forgot?”
Park Jin-woong continued speaking with a smile on his face.
“However, it is no longer necessary to provide the information you requested separately.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because I’m planning to tag along.”
“Together? Jinwoong himself?”
Park Jin-woong nodded to Kim Jin-seong, who asked with an expression of surprise.
“I wanted to be with Jinseong in the first step of his ambitious plan. If you feel uncomfortable with me accompanying you… ?”
“It’s inconvenient.”
“omg… !”
“But that doesn’t mean I hate it. great.”
“ah! thank you.”
Seeing him sigh in relief as he said hello, I guess he really wanted to follow me.
“So when do you plan on making your move? Just say the word. “I will be away at any time.”
“Well, since lunch is coming soon, shall we do it now? “After we finish, let’s have lunch together.”
“great! I buy lunch. Now, let’s go!”
Park Jin-woong immediately put on a suit coat and went out of the representative office.
* * *
Soon, a luxury sedan came out of the building’s underground parking lot and started driving down the street.
Kim Jin-seong, who sat right next to Park Jin-woong, who was behind the wheel, just looked out the window for a long time without saying a word.
“… The streets of Seoul have also regained a lot of vitality.”
After a while, Jin-woong Park nodded and responded to the words that came out of Kim Jin-seong’s mouth.
“After information spread that monsters were no longer appearing through the new portal to another dimension, citizens who had always been confined to their homes began to roam outside with peace of mind.
“I’m sure Jinseong is in a much more lively mood than when he was young.”

“I heard that security has improved a lot?”
“yes. In fact, it is said that things have gotten better recently than before the New Continent was created. Since most police officers are at least level B hunters, criminals are said to be afraid of the police and cannot commit crimes.”
Kim Jin-seong’s gaze, which was smiling at Park Jin-woong’s words, suddenly turned to one side.
“… “Wasn’t that originally the Daehan Clan building?”
At Kim Jin-seong’s words, Park Jin-woong’s eyes also turned to the same direction.
Jinwoong Park responded after checking the building with the words ‘Demonic Clan’ written in English.
“yes. However, there were rumors that the company’s momentum had recently waned and its headquarters building in Korea was put up for sale.
But it looks like the popular ‘Demonic Clan’ recently purchased it.”
“It looks like the headquarters building is in bad enough condition to be sold.”
“Well, it’s a natural result. As it was revealed that the cause of the newly created portal to another dimension was the work of members of the existing New World Alliance clan, the Korean Clan, which was the main axis of the alliance, also began to receive enormous criticism from the public.
The government is also showing a move to openly abandon the Daehan Clan and join the Baekdu Clan as a new partner.
As you know, did the Korean Clan receive one or two pieces of help from the Korean government? But suddenly, support was cut off, the forces in the New Continent were wiped out, and to make matters worse, all the executives, including the dragon master, died… .”
Kim Jin-seong nodded at Jin-woong Park’s explanation. Then he turned his gaze and no longer looked at the Daehan Clan headquarters building.
“… Oh right. “I didn’t tell you that.”
Soon, Park Jin-woong recalled a memory he had forgotten and immediately told it to Kim Jin-seong.
“You know what? It is said that Season 13 of Colosseum Survival will be held soon.”
At those words, Jinseong Kim turned his head and looked at him.
“You know? “Season 12 was completely ruined after Jinseong escaped, so it has never been aired until now.”
“Did you?”
“Oh, you didn’t know… . After Jinseong escaped, the perception spread that there was a hole in the Colosseum’s iron-clad defense network. From the perspective of the Colosseum program, it was a fatal injury.
So, everyone involved, including CEO Baek, stayed dead quiet for a while, but it seems like they are trying to start a new season by taking advantage of the recent resolution of the New World affair and the waning of people’s interest in Jinseong.”
Kim Jin-seong’s expression gradually hardened as he listened to the explanation.
“… And countless innocent people will die.”
Kim Jin-seong, who has killed countless people at the Colosseum and Fight Club, knows this better than anyone else.
A considerable percentage of those brought in as ‘forced laborers’ were brought in unjustly and without a crime.
“This is why I am trying to eliminate the status of ‘forced laborer.’”
“I know, I know. “I know this because I also lost my younger brother.”
The moment he brought up the topic of his younger brother, Park Jin-woong’s expression hardened for a moment and then softened.
“So you’re not actively trying to help Jinseong’s plan?”
“Thank you.”
“no. But, can we really get rid of it?”
“It might be possible.”
Jinseong Kim answered without hesitation.
“In fact, everyone in the country knows this. Among those who became forced laborers, there are many who are unfairly treated.
However, because the government tolerates it and the power of companies that require forced labor is so strong, everyone has no choice but to move on.
But I can.”
Kim Jin-seong’s explanation continued.
“Currently, I am more famous than anyone else in the world, so if I collect a lot of evidence and publicly criticize it, the world’s attention will naturally be focused.
In addition, the Ecla Union, which rules the New Continent, will also take my side.
Then, the Korean government, which has signed a new partnership with the Baekdu Clan, will have no choice but to follow public opinion.”
After hearing the explanation, Park Jin-woong quickly nodded. Because he had a point.
“Certainly, no one can ignore Jinseong’s current fame and connections.”
“That’s why I intentionally kept quiet until now.”
“… Is that true?”
When Kim Jin-seong nodded, Park Jin-woong immediately burst out in admiration.
“Wow~! I thought you were just keeping quiet because you didn’t like fame… !”
In fact, after killing Seraphim, Kim Jin-seong returned to Korea, refused all interviews and requests for public relations, and stayed quietly in his dorm.
As the period of seclusion became longer, the media, which had been persistently searching for him, finally gave up.
“In the first place, when you want to explode something, shouldn’t you gather all your energy and explode it all at once?
If you have been keeping quiet and then suddenly stand in front of the media, attention will be drawn even more dramatically. “That was the only thing they wanted to eliminate.”
“You’re amazing. You are truly amazing… .”
While Park Jin-woong continued to express exclamations with a surprised expression, the car had already left downtown Seoul.
Their destination was in front of a shabby building in Incheon.
* * *
It rattled.
As soon as the thick iron door opened, the scary-looking figure sitting behind the entrance jumped up from his seat.
“who are you? How did you come… .”
Squeeze!
“Kwaaaa!!”
The large figure fell to the floor with a desperate scream before he could finish speaking.
Kim Jin-seong, who did that, looked down at the large figure and asked.
“This is the Revenge Club, right? “A place where forced laborers are illegally imprisoned and fight against each other.”
“Huh… . W-what are you talking about… !”
Jijijijijik!
“Brrrrr!”
The big guy was shocked again, and his whole body was shaking with his eyes half rolled back.
“I ask for the last time. “If you don’t answer this time, I will electrocute you until your heart explodes.”
“Yes, that’s right! Revenge Club, right… Ugh… !”
“I heard it’s profitable to make kids fight and earn betting money?”
“Well, I don’t know that much, but the bet is correct!”
“What is the representative’s name?”
“Hey, this is Yang Seong-ho!”
Wow!
Kim Jin-seong, who heard all the information, kicked the head of the large man who had fallen and knocked him out.
Afterwards, I looked straight ahead,
“who is this?!”
“It’s an intruder! catch!”
“Bring all the kids!!”
All of the comrades inside started to run out as if they had heard the big man’s screams.
* * *
Kwadangtang!
Soon, the door to the representative office opened loudly, as if it would break.
The person who opened the door, a large man, had rolled his eyes and was completely unconscious.
“Na Won, this isn’t even at the level of warming up, is it?”
Kim Jin-seong, who was looking at the pitifully fallen body, turned his gaze straight ahead.
A young man wearing a suit who appeared to have a relatively normal body type pulled out a sword and pointed it at Kim Jin-seong.
“What are you?! “What are you doing here?!”
The stuttering young man’s gaze continued to waver. It was a sign that he was extremely embarrassed.
“Do you know who I am?! I’m Seongho Yang!! Do you know how famous I am around here?! Do you know how wide your network is?!”
“know.”
Kim Jin-seong, who answered briefly, immediately took off the hat and sunglasses he was wearing.
At the same time, the young man’s eyes widened.
“S-No way… !”
“Yang Seong-ho. “Yang Jung-geun’s second son.”
Whether the young man was surprised or not, Kim Jin-seong continued speaking in a low voice as if memorizing a Korean language book.
“After Yang Jung-geun’s death, you lived like a rat, avoiding the eyes of public opinion, and started an illegal fight club with the money you had saved half a year ago, right?
“They even adopted the same methods as the fight club I was trapped in?”
“… Ki, Kim… Jinseong… ?”
“Are you oblivious? Even though I, who is close to Yang Jung-geun and Marshal Cheol-cheon, returned to Korea safely, you still continue to run something like this?
Well, if I had been smart, I wouldn’t have even thought about staying in Korea… .”
Soon Kim Jin-seong looked at Yang Seong-ho crookedly and asked.
“Hurry and decide. Should I go first or do you want to come first? For your information, the ending of the two of us fighting doesn’t change.”
“Uh, uh… !”
“one. two… .”
That was when Kim Jin-seong counted the numbers.
“Hey, hey!!”
Seong-ho Yang, unable to overcome his fear, swung his sword at Jin-seong Kim with all his might.
The sword flew straight to Kim Jin-seong’s neck,
Cough!
“Ugh… !”
With the sound of steel clashing against steel, Yang Seong-ho was thrown in the opposite direction from which it had flown.
Kim Jin-seong looked pitifully at Seong-ho Yang, who was in pain from the shock he felt from his grasp.
“In this family, neither the father nor the son puts any effort. Still, I thought at least my father would surpass it… .”
Kim Jin-seong slowly approached Yang Seong-ho while trailing off his words.
Yang Seong-ho looked at Kim Jin-seong loosening the joints of both hands with trembling eyes.
Kim Jin-seong’s approaching appearance seemed as if the Grim Reaper was getting closer to him.
* * *
It rattled.
This time, the sound of a thick iron door opening was heard.
“Ugh… !”
“Wow… !”
At the same time, many of the police officers who entered inside held their noses.
Only one person, Kim Jin-seong, did not touch his nose with a familiar expression.
“It’s exactly like where I was.”
Narrow central lounge. There are prison-like iron bars crowded around it.
And, the stench of burning and rotting flesh wafting from what appears to be an incinerator in the distance… .
“I don’t know how I lasted half a year in a place like this before.”
“Come on, everyone, come out!”
“Everyone escape from here! “Follow the instructions obediently!”
Jinseong Kim’s mutterings were drowned out by the cries of the police.
At a time when the children inside were rushing towards the entrance, Kim Jin-seong walked as if fascinated towards the incinerator on the other side.
When I arrived and opened the door wide, I could see the burning incinerator as if it had been burning corpses just moments before.
Kim Jin-seong’s gaze, which was looking at the incinerator, soon felt a sign of popularity and turned downward.
‘… what?’
At the same time, my eyes widened.
Numerous corpses lying on the floor.
And a child sitting between them, looking up at Kim Jin-seong.
It looks like… .
‘It’s the same as I was in the old Fight Club incinerator.’
After killing the corpses, I felt like the image of myself sitting down and sorting out the abilities I had acquired overlapped with the scene in front of me.
‘… wait for a sec.’
Jinseong Kim checked the necks of the corpses just in case.
His prediction was correct.
‘There are signs that they were all strangled?’
The traces of fingers remain the same on all the corpses, without leaving a single one out.
Is there any reason to strangle them before they die?
Unless you have unique abilities like Kim Jin-seong, who gains abilities by killing evildoers… .
‘… no way?’
At that time, there was a memory that passed through Kim Jin-seong’s mind.
This was what I heard when I met Dantillion just a few days ago.
[There is a being called Megarapora.
Just like you, it’s a monster that eats all living creatures and absorbs their abilities to become stronger.
The difference between you and me is that you are a monster that lived in the demon world, and Megarapora is a monster that lived in the heavenly world.
And there is one more difference.
That bastard is capable of absorbing the abilities of anyone it eats.
Don’t you only become strong by killing and eating the wicked? To be exact, you have to eat something that has even a little bit of demonic energy floating around in its body to become stronger. In the first place, ‘Vis Crimea’ means the essence of evil.
But Megarapora is different. Regardless of whether that bastard has demon energy or not, if you eat it, it will absorb everything into its own. In some ways, he has greater abilities than you.
However, from what I heard, this guy escaped reincarnation 50 years ago and completely disappeared from heaven.
Stopping reincarnation in heaven means being reborn in another dimension.
I don’t know if it’s the Demon World, Middle Earth, or the Earth you live on. But one thing is certain.
If he were to be reborn on Earth, it would most likely be the emergence of another disaster that could surpass yours.
Maybe it’s news that could turn Middle Earth upside down… .]
Kim Jin-seong, who recalled the memories up to that point, immediately used spiritualism.
Then, a translucent demon was summoned that covered his entire body.
[Who is it!]
“It’s me, Jinseong Kim.”
[Oh oh! You’re finally calling me!]
“Demon Eligos. “You said you have the power to check the other person’s unique abilities, right?”
[You know very well! Then, is it okay to check the abilities of the kid in front of me?]
“okay.”
[good!]
Soon, Eligo lifted Kim Jin-seong’s arm and grabbed the wrist of the boy who was staring at him quietly.
At the same time, these notification windows appeared in front of Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
▶ Checking the opponent’s unique abilities… .
▶ Confirmation has been completed. The opponent has ‘unique ability absorption’.
▷ Absorb unique abilities: When you kill an opponent, you can make their unique characteristics or skills your own.
When you kill an opponent, you gain Virtue Crema, which becomes the driving force to use certain unique skills.
‘… That’s right, you bastard.’
Jinseong Kim was convinced after seeing the notification window.
This kid in front of me is the reincarnation of Megarapora.
“My brother… . if… .”
At that time, the kid spoke to me with wide eyes.
It looks like Kim Jin-seong’s identity has been discovered.
But before that, Kim Jin-seong spoke first.
“What’s your name?”
“Me? “My name is Park Da-hoon.”
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes also grew wide when he heard the name.
“Park Da-hoon? This is the champion of Revenge Club… ?”
“yes.”
Park Da-hoon answered by nodding and then asked what he was curious about.
“By any chance, Jinseong Kim… . Isn’t it? You look exactly like the face you see on TV… .”
Jinseong Kim also nodded at those words.
“okay. “I am Kim Jin-seong.”
The corners of his mouth went up as he answered.
It was an expression of genuine joy that I had not seen with anyone recently.
