My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 281

#281

Technological Revolution (3)

A large room with a somewhat heavy air.

There were many magnificent paintings hanging all over the wide wall.

Creatures bowing down on the ground and worshiping and beings looking down on them from the sky.

People running away from storms and tsunamis, and giants laughing and laughing as they watch from above the huge waves.

A woman embracing a sick person with a warm smile, engulfed in light, etc….

The techniques and styles were different, but the theme the paintings were trying to convey was the same.

It is a work that expresses the relationship between God and humans.

Click—

In a space that exuded such reverence, a strange mouse clicking sound that did not fit the place rang out.

“Warlock Hahoe Mask.”

Soon, a soft female voice followed.

In the office, which can be reached only after passing the exhibited paintings, all kinds of data photos appeared on the computer monitor there.

Starting with CCTV captures, a giant bone dragon captured in Japan, and finally the messy interior of a Shanghai building.

“Vampire Heinz.”

The clicking sound of the mouse sounded once again, and someone else’s movements appeared on the screen.

The process from conflict with the clan to security activities under the name of Phantom was clearly outlined.

“Unidentified paladin.”

The next materials that came to mind were not that much compared to the previous ones.

The content is all about only one incident.

It was all about the miraculous event that occurred in the large hospital terrorist attack.

“Three new special alert subjects have appeared in one country in less than half a year. Even trying to figure out their whereabouts failed….”

The data on the monitor moved quickly along with the sound of the mouse harmonized with the voice of the woman who continued speaking lazily.

The president of the Korean Returnees Association, the head of the southern branch of Seoul, Ji-yoon Yoon, a secret agent of the Ability Management Bureau, etc…

After checking the list of all the Korean nationals who had been identified so far, she finally blurted out one word.

“It’s worth dying for.”

It was a cold tone that did not contain even the slightest sympathy.

After all, no matter how much I checked, the conclusion was nothing more or less than incompetence.

‘…Still, I have to finish what I wanted to do first. It’s not like I have no relationship with this side at all.’

Data that had previously been skipped on the monitor screen was displayed again.

An armor montage that was not only drawn by an eyewitness, but also said to have been agreed upon by many other eyewitnesses.

After staring at it for a moment, she slowly got up from her seat.

‘It’s good to have more like-minded comrades. Especially if that being is capable.’

A strange smile appeared on the lips of the female secretary with gray hair.

“…For the salvation of this world.”

Same time.

An investigation team from the Pantheon headquarters dispatched from the United States arrived in Korea.

“If you do this… like this…!”

Howard went on a study abroad trip to Earth for about 10 days, Outerica time.

As soon as he returned, he immediately locked himself in his studio.

And immediately began work to apply the new knowledge gained through the “technological revolution” to this world.

I have already figured out all the principles of the technology required.

I fully understand why such results occur.

All he needs is an intermediate process to reach that conclusion.

Of course, at the moment, it was not possible to reproduce the level of technology of “Inside the Machine: Callicas.”

Of course, even a dwarf couldn’t completely understand that level of advanced technology in just a few days.

‘Actually, the most efficient way would be to try it yourself…’

But couldn’t you just pluck out a healthy eye to save a little time?

Although the objective specifications themselves may be inferior, the dwarf’s eye for production is much better.

In fact, that was why the artificial eye was immediately handed over to Hesperon.

‘I’ve roughly grasped the concept, so I’ll take the time to figure out the rest. ‘If actual usage data is added, it won’t take that long.’

Howard was a man who always had the natural qualities he was born with, all kinds of growth correction, and the effect of the precious ‘elixir of growth’.

By the standards of ordinary humans, it is so irrational that it is not enough to call him a genius.

And as always.

Leading the world’s transformation has always been the responsibility of a small number of geniuses.

“…done.”

It’s been a few days since I stayed in the workshop and devoted myself to work.

He was thrilled to see a small metal gauntlet in front of him.

The near-futuristic exterior, with its silvery smooth surface and flowing curves, was illuminated by the light of the furnace, creating a strange atmosphere.

“Whoa, then where?”

Howard looked at it as if fascinated for a moment, then without hesitation put it on his left hand.

As a test, I made it from the beginning to a size that perfectly fit my arm, so the gauntlet fit tightly from my fingertips to my elbow.

‘It’s not too bad to wear.’

In that state, Howard walked to the experiment space in the corner of the studio.

There, metal plates of various materials made to test product performance were lined up and tightly fixed.

‘Since this is my first time, let’s take it easy.’

The material is steel, and the thickness is about a span….

After completing preparations for the test, he took a deep breath and clasped his left hand.

Kikigk

chiiik—

compressed energy emitted through the nozzle accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing.

At the same time, the magic stone attached to the inside of the wrist glowed, and the solid lines of light extending from there covered the entire gauntlet like a circuit on a board.

‘I’m coming right away!’

Howard was a 100% pure craftsman who had never been in a fight, but such trivial things were not an issue to the avatar who shared everyone’s experiences.

The small, sturdy body of the dwarf stepped on the ground with perfect posture, and the impact was transmitted through the rotation of the elastic waist and shoulders to the fists.

“Eurachacha!”

Fuhuaak—!

The moment the fist is stretched out, a torrent of energy is sprayed from the elbow like a rocket.

Right after that.

Wow!

A strong gust of wind swept through the studio, accompanied by a loud noise that echoed throughout the workshop.

“Cough! Cough!”

Howard coughed at the flying dust and furrowed his brows.

‘Oh, maybe this is a bit excessive…?’

Needless to say, nagging.

He was extremely excited and excited, but then he realized the situation and made an awkward expression.

Of course it was already too late.

bang!

“what? Who are you! Is it an attack? Howard! Are you okay? Howard!”

Following the sound of rushing, Zaonic burst through the workshop door, holding a large hammer and glaring in all directions.

His vigilance continued until the moment he made eye contact with Howard beyond the dust flying everywhere.

“……?”

“…Um, this is true. Hehehe!”

Howard, who was firmly supporting the ground with both feet and one arm extended forward, punched his fist in a perfect posture that looked like something out of a textbook, let out an embarrassed laugh.

I was struggling to get my left arm out, which had completely penetrated a hand-thick steel plate.

‘…It doesn’t fall out. It would be a big deal if this happened in real life, but this is a problem. Reverse injection will also be necessary.’

Amidst the busy footsteps of the workshop guards starting to flock in.

Howard struggled to keep his thoughts on other things and slightly avoided Zaonic’s gaze, who was slowly frowning.

It was an extremely ordinary and smooth development site.

***

While Howard’s study abroad on Earth and technological development continued, time passed quickly in Outerica.

A huge event that was bound to have an impact on everyone on the continent – the Pope’s funeral was completed successfully, and the unofficial 3rd Continental Summit that followed was also concluded smoothly.

“Because it was a meeting, there were only obvious things to say.”

Heinz II sank into a soft chair and quietly closed his eyes, lost in thought.

Of course, he wasn’t there.

Duke Bright was simply dispatched as an agent of the Kingdom of Thalia.

No matter how amicable their relationship has been recently, isn’t it strange that the king of vampires would personally attend the Pope’s funeral?

‘It was also a busy time.’

Not long ago, he had to care about Outerica and Earth at the same time.

Recently, for one reason or another, even Heinz can’t afford to go to Earth, so Phantom activities have naturally been put on hiatus…

‘No, if you think about it, it’s not like he’s free even now.’

No matter how capable you were to entrust most of the work to the crew, you couldn’t just sit there and do it as a captain.

Since he recently ascended to the position of Vampire King by absorbing Obaipo, the fate of not only the nation but also the race itself has become dependent on him, so the amount of work that needs to be checked directly is enormous.

If it weren’t for the management privilege “Monarch’s Power” that I got while achieving the Vampire King achievement, I would have been busy spending my days without even having time to think about anything else.

It was also true that most things were going smoothly thanks to that privilege.

‘If there’s just one thing that bothers me…’

Of course, not everything went as he intended.

The search for missing persons is taking longer than expected, and it’s about Vice President Kayla McClair’s son.

The task of investigating all the vampires in Obaipo, which I thought would be completed quickly, was taking longer than expected.

Of course, there was a good reason for that.

‘I never would have thought that a revolutionary was directly involved in that matter.’

A being that has been reached after persistent pursuit.

As it happens, the leader revolutionary of the oath of the reverse world, who is no longer dead, was at the end.

‘…Anyway, he’s not helpful.’

Of course, no matter how much he controlled the continent’s intelligence organizations, he couldn’t continue the chase in this situation.

This guy was someone that even Hans had a hard time tracking down, so it was absurd to track his movements from over 20 years ago.

Although it’s uncomfortable, we can’t help but assume that he was sacrificed in some kind of ritual.

‘Still, I’ll keep tracking it for now. Since I personally avenged my enemy, I guess I have something to say to Kayla.’

The giant who appeared in the Kingdom of Tulk and attacked Tarak was the revolutionary himself.

As it turns out, he ended up taking revenge on his behalf.

If you do this, you will be able to roughly save face.

“Then what’s next?”

Heinz, who was mumbling like that, closed his mouth.

It was safe to say that he had already achieved the first goal he had set for himself: uniting the vampires and Yang Ji-hwa.

If nothing special happens, it will probably take care of itself if you leave it like this.

So what should Heinz II aim for now?

What should we aim for in the future?

‘…is it almost time?’

The work he had to do in Outerica was roughly finished.

If so, isn’t the next step obvious?

“earth.”

If you think about it, now was the perfect time.

The Buncheonhoe’s branch, which oversees all of East Asia, had disappeared.

Those guys who have become so sensitive must be paying close attention to that area by now.

‘Hans, the subject of caution, left Korea and set foot in China, which was his home. They won’t just sit still like this either.’

In addition, although it was unintentional, Holy Knight Heinrich, who had become a hot topic before Hahoetal’s reappearance, was also one of their interests.

Didn’t he figure out, through fragments of the ruler’s memory, the situation in which he was trying to cooperate with a guy named Seo Gwan, the head of the branch in North America?

‘If the memory loss wasn’t so severe, I would know more clearly.’

It was unfortunate, but it was unavoidable.

For now, I’ll have to be satisfied with the fact that I knew in advance that the scribe was in an important position in the Pantheon.

In any case, one thing was certain: if their attention turned to East Asia in pursuit of Hans and Heinrich, the other side would become a little more lax than usual.

Considering the size of these guys, I don’t know how effective it will be, but it’s still a good idea to take advantage of whatever you can get.

‘That way, no matter what trap there is, you will definitely be able to break it.’

Heinz, who was sitting quietly, had a cold look in his eyes.

It was an opportunity to overcome the limitations that blocked my future and grow to the next level.

But you can’t just keep running away every time you feel a little dangerous, right?

Finally, Heinz gathered his thoughts and quietly stood up.

Then he licked his lips and whispered softly as if he was declaring to himself.

“Then let’s go. To Europe.”

A land where vampires are strongest on Earth.

To the culinary capital of the world.
