Chapter 281
281: The Mage Empress Lucy Minus (1)
You’re asking for a Dimensional Peace Agreement?
The moment Dohyun heard those words, his mind went blank. They’d only just finalized the peace agreement with Draxion three days ago, and now a new one? His judgment should have been clouded, but in that instant, a cascade of potential advantages flooded through his thoughts!
Just like with Draxion, Dohyun hadn’t been the one to propose this Dimensional Peace Agreement first, which meant he could steer the negotiations to his advantage once again!
Dohyun’s eyes gleamed at those final words as he turned back to Ines with a question.
“You said you were ‘asking’ me, correct?”
At the sight of Dohyun’s sly smile, Ines’s expression flickered with unease, while Hezweyna, who had already experienced this before, wore a serene smile.
Using the word “request” with Dohyun was indeed Ines’s mistake.
She was entering from an unfavorable position from the start, but since she was the one in a hurry, it was unavoidable. Having calculated everything, Ines simply nodded in acknowledgment.
When Ines conceded so readily, Dohyun blinked in surprise.
‘Wait, she’s admitting it so easily… I’m starting to feel like a bad person.’
Usually, ruthless people like Dohyun would squeeze every last advantage in such situations, but he was the type who alternated between strength and weakness, so he felt a twinge of guilt.
Not that he wouldn’t take what was offered, but Dohyun decided to ask for somewhat less than he’d originally planned.
Then Dohyun tilted his head in confusion.
The peace agreement with Draxion Dimension had been made to bring Hezweyna’s party into the fold. That was what she had strongly desired.
But why did the Celestials want to establish a peace agreement with him?
“But why do you want to establish an agreement with us in the first place?”
When Dohyun expressed his genuine confusion, Hezweyna, Ines, and Asteria all realized that he was surprisingly naive in this regard.
Or more precisely.
“You seem to underestimate your own value, Dohyun.”
“Indeed.”
As Asteria and Hezweyna spoke, Hanalin and Jiyuchan wore similar expressions while looking at Dohyun.
Why were they all looking at him like that? As Dohyun remained silent, Analysis was the first to inform him of something he hadn’t yet realized.
[There is an aspect of establishing a Dimensional Peace Agreement in advance, considering your current value as a future Transcendent.]
[Your value is more than sufficient to warrant this, and in Earth’s terms, it could be called buying low.]
‘Ah.’
Dohyun’s expression shifted to one of realization.
His value was worth that much?
Actually, thinking about it carefully, he did possess sufficient value for that.
He had already grasped Transcendence, however faintly, so if he continued to grow properly, becoming a Transcendent was inevitable.
Even if it was still a distant prospect, finding such a promising asset would be difficult. Especially considering that even Belmut Paraksara of Draxion, who had lived for eons, and the Celestial Empress Asteria, who could understand a hundred things from one, would surely recognize Dohyun’s value.
Therefore, it was only natural to establish a good relationship in advance for the future.
Once he understood this much, the conversation became simple.
‘In that case, I could demand even more.’
Dohyun’s mind raced as he reached that conclusion, and then a problem suddenly occurred to him.
He recalled Belmut Paraksara, the master of Draxion Dimension, whom he had met during the last peace agreement.
Which meant.
“Hmm, then perhaps this time as well…?”
“Yes, the master of a dimension and the agreement counterpart must always meet.”
Asteria nodded as if she had anticipated Dohyun’s words, responding affirmatively.
When I met Belmut, I suffered considerable pressure, but this time I had to meet an active Transcendent, not a retired one.
‘Sigh.’
It was a burdensome situation even for me, but it was unavoidable if I wanted to establish the pact. Besides, in the Dimensional Rift where the pact would be made, we couldn’t harm each other, so I thought it would be fine.
If they were a true Transcendent, there might be other methods, but even after deciding to establish the pact, I trusted Analysis, which remained quiet.
If it were dangerous as I suspected, Analysis would have definitely warned me first.
It might be overly reliant on Analysis-centered thinking, but now Analysis and I had become inseparable, so this level of trust was natural.
“Very well. Then let us establish the pact.”
“Excellent!”
With my decision made, Hezweyna, who had been the sole pact-maker, became unique in that role. Though I felt somewhat regretful inwardly, I didn’t show it.
It was unreasonable that others didn’t recognize my value. Since I knew such a day would come eventually, the shock was lessened.
Meanwhile, someone else’s mind was ringing alarm bells more than Hezweyna’s—none other than Vera, the only Celestial among them who tilted her head in confusion, muttering to herself.
“Wait, wait? If this happens….”
She wondered if this meant she could join Dohyun’s party, but Vera quickly denied the reality.
‘No, surely not.’
She thought the Empress and Ines wouldn’t deliberately establish a Dimensional Peace Agreement just to put her in Dohyun’s party, and moved on.
Or rather, she tried to move on.
‘It, it can’t be real, right?’
Vera didn’t know.
She had no idea that in Korea on Earth, there was a proverb that suspicion kills a person.
* * *
Three days after the Dimensional Peace Agreement between the Yongin Clan and Dimension Draxion, international affairs were shaking like a storm, and now a typhoon had emerged to intensify that tempest.
Four days later, the Stone Tablet of Earth glowed red again, and the inscription that appeared on it became the problem.
「The Lee Suhyun Party proposes to enter the Dimensional Rift and engage in dialogue with the representative of Dimension Beladrina for the purpose of establishing a pact.」
With the Lee Suhyun Party’s name appearing again, multiple nations erupted once more.
It was the Lee Suhyun Party during the Draxion Dimension incident, and now it’s the Lee Suhyun Party again? What kind of party could they possibly be? It was utterly incomprehensible, yet the situation continued to escalate.
Since the word “pact” appeared again, the great powers, recognizing this as an opportunity for Korea rather than a crisis for Earth, attempted to contact Korea once more, but received only responses that the conference had not yet concluded.
Moreover, a problem arose here.
During the Draxion Dimension incident, they could have somehow silenced the Hunters, but with this being the second occurrence, far too many unspecified Hunters had witnessed the Stone Tablet, making information control impossible.
Thus, on the internet community where rumors spread fastest.
「Title: What is this Stone Tablet?
[Photo of the red-glowing Stone Tablet and the inscription on it]
What kind of party is the Lee Suhyun Party, and what is Dimension Beladrina?」
└???What is this really???
└If it’s a pact, isn’t that a good thing???
└Could it be a Dimensional Peace Agreement???
「Title: This happened last time too
[Photo of the red-glowing Stone Tablet from the Draxion Dimension incident]
Look at this;;
About three or four days ago? It was like that then too, and the Association told us to keep quiet
“Looking at it popping up again, let’s just upload it and see what happens lol”
└??????
└What the hell is this???
└Isn’t this dangerous?
As concerns were raised one by one and confusion continued to grow, nations that couldn’t control the information began to rapidly step forward, instead releasing information to quell the anxiety.
As a result, emergency broadcasts were hastily arranged on YouTube and various media outlets.
The moment people trembled with anxiety, social chaos would ensue, so they moved to respond as quickly as possible.
Experts appeared on various media outlets and discussed the matter on air.
In particular, professors specializing in Hunters took to the stage to provide explanations.
-So Professor, you’re confident this is good news?
-Of course. A peace agreement was already announced previously. Now it’s been quietly introduced that Korea has signed an agreement. In such circumstances, the fact that a second agreement discussion is taking place means there’s a high probability of forming another agreement with Dimension Beladrina. Or rather, we should view it that way.
-Then Professor, what kind of dimension is Beladrina?
-It’s the dimension of the Superior Race, the Celestials…
As various experts reassured people through broadcasts, the anxiety subsided, but instead an explosive reaction erupted.
Just like Draxion, the dimension of the Superior Race Yongin Clan, the Lee Suhyun Party had achieved a peace agreement with Beladrina, the dimension of the Superior Race Celestials—what on earth was their true identity?
News and the internet were flooded with the topic.
“Title: Suhyun Lee’s Party?
I don’t know much about Korea, and I didn’t even prefer K-pop when it was trending, but this time I have to admit it.
How on earth did they seduce the Superior Races?
So you’re talking about the Yongin Clan and the Celestials, right? The race commonly called the Celestial Race?
They seem truly amazing.
Should we be calling this K-Hunters?
Why can’t our American Hunters do the same?”
└Lol that’s what I’m saying.
└If Korea did it, couldn’t we Americans do it too?
└Stop with the wishful thinking. If we could’ve done it, America would’ve manipulated it already. The fact that we yielded to another country means we couldn’t do it, buddy.
└Korea is no pushover as a Hunter powerhouse.
└K-Hunters is hilarious!
Posts began appearing on the internet with the name “K-Hunters,” and people grew increasingly curious about what kind of party this Lee Suhyun Party was.
So various internet users began asking Korean acquaintances or Korean users about it.
-Koreans, don’t keep this to yourselves! Tell us how amazing Suhyun Lee is!
└Sorry, but we really don’t know either;;;;
└Hey! Don’t hide it, Korea!
└[Wronged Celebrity Meme] Well, we’d have to know to tell you;;;
Naturally, Korea too had no idea who Lee Suhyun was—more precisely, who Dohyun was—and due to this snowball effect, interest could only continue to mount.
Not long after, the stone tablet stained red returned to its original color, and shortly thereafter, the agreement with Dimension Beladrina was also finalized.
The agreement document appeared once more, but there were only a few clauses worth noting.
Most were the same as the peace agreement with Draxion Dimension—this time too, it was limited to Korea, and this agreement stipulated that any harm to those connected to the Overseer Party would result in hostile relations with Beladrina, and finally.
[8. All inquiries regarding entry into this Dimensional Peace Agreement shall be delegated to ‘Han Muyeol,’ the Hunter Association President of “Korea, Earth.”]
Similarly, with the clause delegating authority to Han Muyeol, he closed his eyes tightly while laughing with a carefree expression, as if he had already transcended such matters.
“Hehehehehehe.”
Han Muyeol, who couldn’t even muster a curse anymore, closed his eyes and headed toward the conference room to rejoin the meeting.
* * *
The Dimensional Rift.
Connected to dimensions linked with the Black Gate, it was a place where various negotiations could be observed and served as a venue for dialogue—yet this function, unknown to Earth for the past fifteen years, had reopened in merely three days.
And it was here that Dohyun’s party—the Overseer Party—could now enter. They had wondered if they’d need to return to Earth and touch the Stone Tablet again to gain access, but since they could enter simply by touching the Stone Tablet in the B-Rank Zone, they came directly.
What was surprising, however, was this:
“Hezway, you can enter too?”
Jiyuchan had assumed Hezway, belonging to the Draxion Dimension, wouldn’t be able to come due to the Dimensional Peace Agreement between Earth and Beladrina, but Dohyun explained it to him.
“It’s an agreement between Lee Suhyun’s party—the Overseer Party—and the Beladrina representative, so naturally, Hezway, who belongs to the party, can enter as well.”
“Ah, I see.”
As Jiyuchan nodded, having learned new information thanks to Dohyun, Hezway also looked at Dohyun with the expression of someone who hadn’t known either.
They regarded Dohyun with newfound respect for knowing information even he wasn’t aware of.
Vera and Ines said they would return after going to their dimension, Beladrina, with the Empress, so only Dohyun’s Overseer Party was currently in this Dimensional Rift.
Because of this, they could speak more freely, and amid their conversation, Hanalin spoke with evident anticipation.
“This means we can learn Celestial magic, right?”
It was something they could learn the moment they entered Arcana, but wouldn’t establishing a Dimensional Peace Agreement like this make it certain?
As she spoke with such anticipation, the Dimensional Rift rippled, and in that instant, everyone present felt their breath catch in their throats from an overwhelming presence.
Dohyun swallowed hard and gazed toward one side of the undulating Dimensional Rift.
Then.
Uuuuung.
As the dimension rippled and slowly revealed itself, there appeared a woman who seemed to be the master of all mana itself, as if all the world’s mana rejoiced and sent forth its praise.
The Empress Lucy Minus, standing above the Celestial sky, met Dohyun’s gaze and smiled with her eyes as she spoke.
「Ah, so it is you.」
Dohyun forgot even to breathe as he beheld her.
The letters of 『Analysis』 appeared.
[You have encountered 『Transcendent, Lucy Minus』.]
[『Analysis』 cannot analyze 『Transcendent, Lucy Minus』.]
For the first time since obtaining 『Analysis』, these were the words he saw.
