Chapter 195. Divine Seat: The Most Arrogant Sky
〚Your new epithet has been completed!〛
〚Divine Seat: The Most Arrogant Sky is now inscribed upon the world!〛
With that final message, no further words came. Akasha, too, fell silent after providing the last of her information.
“Exhale.”
Standing alone upon the vast, serene expanse of the Heavenly Kingdom, I drew in a breath and felt the weight of chains fall away.
With one life goal finally achieved, a sense of boundless freedom washed over me. I closed my eyes for a moment, letting the cool wind caress my face as I gathered my thoughts and allowed my body to rest. Then I moved.
Whoosh!
Twelve pairs of black and white wings, now completely bound to my will, unfurled as I soared skyward. Vengeance was complete. Now came the final arrangements.
The empty expanse of the Heavenly Kingdom blurred past in an instant, replaced by the densely packed cityscape of Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
My destination was the residence of South Korea’s ruler—Cheong Wa Dae.
“Hmm?”
My eyes of chaos swept through the interior of Cheong Wa Dae and assessed the situation. The President was not in the main building, but rather confined to the basement of a small annex attached to its side.
“Imprisoned?”
I didn’t need to ask who had done it. Those fools from The Seven, no doubt. The President was little more than their puppet, after all.
Perhaps he had dared to defy their will?
“Tch. What should I do?”
Originally, I had planned to remove the President from his position and replace him with one of my own. Though he hadn’t directly involved himself in my parents’ case, I knew he had committed countless acts as their tool, fattening their coffers.
But if he was imprisoned for opposing them on an important matter, perhaps there was no need to replace him after all.
The Seven were dead anyway. If I simply freed him, he would offer me everything—his liver, his gallbladder, whatever I demanded.
“Since I’ll need to consume South Korea, having a President who understands the situation is useful.”
Wouldn’t it be easier and faster to keep the President who has been running the government all this time, rather than installing some unknown fool? Besides, he was trained as a disciple by Han Min-guk, an absolute authority figure, so he should be competent enough.
The moment I descended into the annex, the guards stationed there reacted immediately.
“Who goes there!”
“Stop! Take one more step and we will use force!”
I hadn’t expected them to recognize me. My face was plastered across news articles worldwide, but these men were far removed from such information.
Besides, my appearance before awakening and now were vastly different—even my old ID photo bore little resemblance to my current form.
Still, there was no reason to waste time with these fools.
【Step aside, insects.】

〚Skill: Majesty of the Absolute Sovereign [Heroic]〛
The divine majesty descended upon all of Cheong Wa Dae. That was all it took. The guards, drained of all color, trembled violently with their heads pressed to the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Leaving them behind, I tore open the locked door leading underground. What greeted my eyes was the President, appearing as though he had transcended all worldly concerns.
“Hehehehe. So they’re all dead after all. Idiots. Blinded by power, they couldn’t even identify their opponent.”
He laughed bitterly, accepting his end. Seeing him so resigned to death, as though he had already decided his fate, I couldn’t help but smile.
“Amusing, isn’t it? You wielded absolute power with The Seven backing you. Yet those fools became your shackles. You thought it was a golden rope, but it was rotten all along.”
I suppressed my aura and spoke again.
“So you’ll simply accept death as it comes?”
“What other choice is there? If you’ll spare me, I’ll lick your feet. I didn’t become a slave to those idiots just to die like this. Less than a year of my term remains, and it’s a shame to end it this way. How will you keep me alive?”
“Hmm….”
Did he pretend to follow The Seven from the start, merely to cultivate his own power? Yet his devotion seemed far too fervent for such a scheme.
But the eyes never lie. This man harbors tremendous ambition. A man who climbed to the very pinnacle of South Korea as President, yet still yearns to ascend higher.
A fool obsessed with authority. A wretch consumed by avarice. Yet precisely because of this, he understands his position well and accepts it—a useful tool.
Han Min-guk employed him for that very reason. Not for loyalty, but because he trusted in greed far more than any oath could provide.
“I’ll spare you.”
The President’s head snaps up in disbelief, his mouth gaping wide. As if unable to trust his ears, he hooks a finger into his ear and repeats back to me.
“You’ll spare me?”
“Yes. You weren’t even on my vengeance list. Besides, the current President is far more suited to managing this situation than a replacement would be. And you seem like the type who’ll obey my commands well.”
“Ha… hahahaha! You’re telling me to serve you instead of The Seven!”
“If you don’t like it, then die.”
As I reach for the sword at my side, he shakes his head frantically and stops me.
“No, no! I was just going to say it’s not difficult at all! Leave it to me! I’ll do everything you command! In exchange!”
“Take your share as you see fit. I won’t concern myself with such details. Besides, I have no interest in how this nation fares anyway. Yet since I created this place, it should at least function properly.”
“Hahahaha! Understood! I’ll build the strongest nation using your name!”
“Do as you see fit. Now get up and leave. You reek—go bathe. Create a unified nation on your own. Eliminate anyone who opposes me. Change the laws if necessary to place me at the very top.”
“Of course! And as for fools who would oppose a Divine Being… well, there might be some. To deal with such wretches decisively, let me offer counsel: display your power. Before everyone’s eyes. Then all the noise will vanish.”
Hmm… ordinary people likely wouldn’t grasp what a Divine Being truly is. In fact, most Hunters—the mid-to-lower tier majority—would be no different.
The elite Hunters, those capable of perceiving the Divine Seat’s existence, would understand what I am without explanation. But these others are different.
Ignorance breeds rebellion.
Certainly, witnessing the Rank 1 Master, they’d acknowledge a certain level of strength. But they’re not the type to stand idle and watch a single individual establish a nation and swallow South Korea whole.
Noise would inevitably arise from somewhere.
It’s no coincidence that the Rank 1 Master remains silent, content in the United States with the abundance that nation provides.
Even for them, opposing an entire nation is no simple matter.
Of course, I could defeat not just a nation, but the entire world. Or rather, I could obliterate this entire planet with a few gestures.
Such is the power of a Divine King-tier existence.
“Hmm. The fastest way to demonstrate power would be…”
I needed to show something quickly before dissent could take root. One thing crystallized in my mind above all else.
“Eliminate all the Calamities?”
“Oh! That would be excellent! But is it possible? Scholars say some Calamities are feared even by Divine Beings themselves.”
Perhaps. The creatures called Calamities are fundamentally legendary-tier or capable of growing to legendary-tier strength. Especially since they possess power worthy of the name Calamity.
Even among Divine Beings, those who became gods through deeds rather than martial prowess might struggle against them. Yet such reasoning only holds if the gap is significant enough.
“No problem. To me, they’re all insignificant vermin.”
Even if I became a Divine King through healing alone, losing to a Calamity would be absurd.
“How many Calamities are there in total?”
Five are known. Originally there were six, but I killed the Imoogi. Yet there are certainly hidden ones. The President would know.
“Seven in total. One in Africa. One in Antarctica. One in Mexico. One in England. One in Mongolia. One in China. And one on Jeju Island.”
“Jeju Island? People travel there so freely?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s not Jeju Island itself, but the waters near Jeju Island. A marine creature called a Kraken.”
I see. Well, the matter is settled. I tell him to handle things himself, pass the complicated problems to him, and return to the Heavenly Kingdom.
“I’ll capture them all quickly.”
That said, I have no immediate plans to do anything. Even with a body that doesn’t tire, rest is a necessity.
Since they said they’d send a cameraman to broadcast my Achievements live anyway, I decided to wait and move together with them, surrendering myself to the sweet indulgence of rest after so long.
***
The world turned upside down. In fact, just a week ago, changes on the scale of a great upheaval had occurred and everyone was bewildered. This time was no different in magnitude.
Calamities. The most vital existences for humanity’s survival. When they begin to move, true disaster descends.
Fortunately, most Calamities remain barricaded in their own domains and never emerge, but the sole active Calamity in Mexico annihilated 70% of Mexico’s population in just one month.
Thus, Mexico had become literally the territory of a Calamity. A demonic realm where humanity could not survive. Even a Master could not face a Calamity alone.
Of course, if the top-ranked Hunters united in conquest, they might be able to capture a lower-tier Calamity at great cost. But because the losses would be too severe, no one had ever attempted it.
Yet all those Calamities were captured. Seven Calamities in total, including two unknown ones, all died in merely half a day.
World Messages appeared before the eyes of all humanity almost every 1-2 hours. And in the live broadcast transmitted exclusively to a single South Korean broadcasting channel, including YouTube, the Divine Being’s overwhelming and destructive power spread across the entire world unfiltered.
It was truly befitting of the majesty of a god.
When extending a hand, hundreds of holy blades of sacred light materialized and pierced down to the earth. When clenching a fist, black darkness opened its maw from the abyss, devouring and sweeping away everything on the surface.
Light and darkness. Arrogance and heaven. The majesty of divinity spreads far and wide.
The truth that no one could ever oppose the Divine Being’s power was etched into consciousness. This was equally true for the people of South Korea.
The nation with the most direct connection to the Divine Being. As the nation against which the Divine Being had declared war, South Korea’s situation was dire indeed.
After the Divine Being’s declaration of war, foreigners hastily boarded planes and fled South Korea. The domestic stock market collapsed. Hoarding became rampant in supermarkets. Crime erupted indiscriminately in the streets.
A result born of fear that the end was coming. Yet after a week passed, and the moment all Calamities were subjugated.
The President, who had hidden away until then, revealed himself. And made a proclamation.
“From today onward, South Korea has decided to unify with the Heavenly Kingdom! We have decided that the nation’s name shall be the Heavenly Kingdom. Only the name changes! The Divine Being showed mercy to insignificant creatures and suppressed his own wrath, and through his mercy, we have obtained wider lands and power!”
The moment the name South Korea vanished into history.
