Chapter 8
Chapter 8 . Akan, the God’s RepresentativeWhile the 30,000 dimension travelers, who were scattered all over the world, metastasized throughout Pangaea, 300 true dimension travelers of the Sovereign class opened their eyes in a different location . It was a large hall bigger than most gyms . And, on the ceiling was a grand chandelier and shining floors . The wall was covered with life murals and crowned portraits of people all with dark, black hair .
“What, what is this?”
“Where is this!”
“I was… at the Madison Square Garden!”
Those who had been appointed Sovereign unexpectedly were flustered, all talking in their respective languages .
“Where is this! Was the dream true…! Allahu akbar!”
“Oh my god!”
There were also those who called out for their Gods (that probably appeared in their ‘calling’) . As everyone called out in confusion, one man with crossed arms was slowly scanning his surroundings amidst the chaos .
‘It is the same . Nothing is different . ’
It was he, Kang Chul-In, former Grand Sovereign .
‘I see a few familiar faces . ’
Kang Chul-In did not know all 300 Sovereigns that had gathered in the hall, but he could recognize a few familiar faces . And amongst them were a couple who he had killed himself . But… someone called his name .
“Chul-In?”
When he turned his head, a pure looking Asian woman was looking at him with wide eyes . It was Lee Chae-Lin, the employee at M Entertainment .
‘Gosh, she was a Sovereign too . ”
Kang Chul-In who had recognized Lee Chae-Lin was astounded that that woman had also become a Sovereign . It was something he had not known in the past .
“You are Chul-In, right?”
“Yes, I am . ”
“I was worried! What happened? No, more importantly, where is this? Do you know, Chul-In?”
Lee Chae-Lin didn’t seem like she was in her right mind .
That was understandable, because aside from Kang Chul-In who knew everything, this was a different world that was beyond one’s imagination .
“Just wait and see . ”
Kang Chul-In did not pretend to not know .
“Huh? Chul-In, what do you mean?”“There he is . If you listen well to what he is saying, you’ll get the gist of it . Of course, it won’t seem real anyways . ”
Kang Chul-In pointed at the platform that was at the middle of the hall .
Crack!
There were sparks from some current, and shortly a purple portal emerged .
[Welcome, Sovereigns . ]
The being who had come through the portal was not human, but had a human-like figure and was wrapped in golden light .
[I am Akan, the God’s Representative who oversees this world and who will oversee you . ]
Akan’s voice vibrated and filled the room, as if it was under the echo effect .
“Oversee?”
“God’s Representative?”
“What are you saying!”
A few Sovereigns exclaimed at Akan’s words .
[Silence!]“What kind of irresponsible bastard is that!”
As soon as Akan left, the hall filled with complaints and protests from Sovereigns who could not believe what was happening to them . It was like a flea market .
‘Every single thing is the same . ’
Kang Chul-In was reminded again that he had been rebirthed .
“Chul-In…”
And in that moment, Lee Chae-Lin spoke to him .
“I don’t know what is happening . What am I supposed to do?”
Kang Chul-In thought for a moment and spoke .
“Like Akan said, you need to choose your land . ”
“I really don’t understand…”
“Even if you asked me, you will not get an answer . ”
“Excuse me?”
“There is a saying ‘Seeing is believing . ’ It will be faster for you to experience it for yourself . ” Kang Chul-In treated Lee Chae-Lin coldly .
‘I could help her… but then I will be adding more unexpected variables . I will need to be careful with my words . ’
If he were to help Lee Chae-Lin in choosing her land, it was more likely for her to choose a different land than what she would have chosen before . Then, it might change the determined future, so he decided to not say anything else . Of course, the future had begun to shift already, but if a big frame shifted, it would be bad . It would be right to not do anything different than before .
“First, let’s move separately . We can talk in detail when we return to earth . ”
With those words, Kang Chul-In moved towards the models to choose his land .
“Chul-In…”
Lee Chae-Lin looked as if she was going to cry as she stared at the back of Kang Chul-In .
Kang Chul-In immediately went to select his land .
‘I need a mobile fortress . It would be nice if it is an airborne city . ’
For Kang Chul-In who had to suffer because of Alex Rothschild’s mobile fortress, his preference for a mobile land was understandable . Therefore, he would not choose Valhalla, his past headquarters . In the war between Sovereigns, the ‘mobility of land’ was not just a strategy but a tactical card and advantage . His teeth still clenched when he remembered how the entire Cyamodus invaded Valhalla when he met his end .
And that was not the end .
He had tried multiple times to take out Rothschild, but he had lost him multiple times because the mobile headquarters had escaped with great speed . If Kang Chul-In had a mobile fortress, he would have been able to kill Rothschild earlier, and he would not have fallen from the alliance of Baldur and Gullveig .
His pride would have hurt, but he could have escaped .
If Rothschild had a tactical advantage only because of his mobility, he would teach Rothschild a lesson by choosing an airborne fortress .
‘Wait… this looks different . ’
Kang Chul-In, who was looking carefully at over 900 models stopped at a land that was atop a whale’s back . And information about the land appeared after a few sparks appeared in the air .
-[Uranus]
Type: Airborne city
Tendency: Conquest
Location: Southern Part, Alpheon province
Description: Land atop the back of a flying whale, Uranus
Ability: Tactical weapon, Hydro Beam
Price: 8,000 Gold
‘Hydro Beam . . Is that the energy cannon that completes quickly?’
The lands that the Sovereigns could buy had one or two special abilities and were limited to these, so he needed to decide carefully .
It was then .
Someone spoke to him as he was looking at the lands .
“Can you by any chance… tell me how you got the information to pop up?”
Kang Chul-In turned his head and looked to the person who had spoke to him . And that person was…
