Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 183
183. Response to the Invasion
[Total Comments 234]
└Is this real? Can we believe it?
└If Amon says so, then it’s true. We must believe it unconditionally.
└It’s real. Amon was right about everything last time too.
└People living nearby, evacuate quickly!
└Oh my god… Is this real?
└Apostles, please help us!
└This is no joke. If Amon posted an emergency notice, it’s really serious.
└Apostles from each region, please gather!
└This is serious… Paris is on the list
└Seriously…? Shibuya’s way too crowded though
└Please evacuate the civilians!
└But Korea isn’t on the list?
└Is our country safe?
└Why isn’t China included? Aren’t we a major city…? (Why isn’t there China? Does this mean we’re not a major city…?)
People who saw the notice didn’t take my words lightly.
‘Thank goodness. I was worried they wouldn’t believe me.’
Was it because I had steadily built up my reputation and credibility?
People worldwide paid attention and moved quickly.
The weight carried by the name Amon was that powerful.
‘If we do well, we might be able to handle this.’
I couldn’t just sit still either, so I moved.
To Seoul, no less.
VTuber News Maru from Japan heard shocking news from an Apostle acquaintance.
“What? Amon posted an emergency notice?”
“That’s what I’m telling you.”
After the incident where he was kidnapped by Yakuza, News Maru delivered Amon’s information to people faster than anyone else.
With a heart that revered Amon as his lifesaver, he shared news even more passionately than before.
Thanks to this, his subscriber count had skyrocketed from 2 million to 3 million.
However.
‘There’s never been an emergency notice posted before.’
This time, the situation seemed serious.
“What’s the content?”
When he heard the content, it was as expected.
Dimensional rifts.
Mass monster invasion.
Tokyo Shibuya was on that list.
“Damn, Shibuya? Do you know how many people are there right now…?”
News Maru’s hands trembled.
This wasn’t just simple news.
If things went wrong, tens of thousands could lose their lives in this disaster.
“I need to start streaming right now!”
News Maru immediately started broadcasting and informed people.
“Everyone! Amon has just posted an emergency notice on Transcendence Net!”
As soon as the broadcast started, viewers flooded in explosively.
“Soon, dimensional rifts will open in major cities worldwide and monsters will pour out! And one of those places is Tokyo Shibuya!”
└What! What did you say?
└No way, really?
└Shibuya? There are tons of people there right now!
└If this is real, it’ll be a catastrophe…
└If Amon said it, it’s 100% correct
└We need to evacuate immediately!
“Those near Shibuya, evacuate immediately! Apostles, please gather at the scene!”
His desperate voice reached tens of thousands of ears.
The broadcast spread throughout Japan in an instant.
And there was someone who saw that broadcast.
“Father!”
Kawaguchi Ryusei rushed into the study.
His father, Tokyo Governor Kawaguchi Masao, was reading a book and couldn’t help but be startled.
“Ryusei? What’s wrong?”
“A hole is about to open in the sky right now! In Shibuya!”
“What?”
Kawaguchi Masao initially looked incredulous, but upon hearing what followed, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
“Our benefactor Amon said this!”
Amon.
The benefactor who had saved his son’s life when he was kidnapped not long ago.
If it was something he said, there was no choice but to believe it.
“He posted a notice directly on Transcendence Net. He said major cities around the world will be attacked simultaneously!”
“…I understand. I’ll take immediate action.”
Masao immediately contacted the Apostle Management Bureau.
As both the Tokyo Governor and the Apostle Management Bureau Chief, he could take immediate action.
“Send an emergency message to all Apostles right now to gather in Shibuya! Coordinate with the Disaster Management Agency to evacuate citizens too! This is an urgent matter, so handle it quickly!”
Thanks to the Governor’s quick action, Shibuya was able to gather Apostles faster than any other country.
Lawrence Winterstone had been spending busy days lately.
He was so busy entertaining the influential figures who visited him daily that he barely had time to breathe.
“It’s as wonderful as I heard! I’ve tasted food from all over the world, but I’ve never encountered such flavor anywhere! It’s truly the best!”
“Haha! Is that so?”
Thanks to the recipe he received from Amon, his recognition soared to the sky.
Political bigwigs came to taste the heavenly flavor almost every day.
‘This is all thanks to Amon. Without that gentleman, where would I have gotten such ingredients?’
It was when Lawrence was wearing a pleased expression.
“Father! Something terrible has happened!”
Oliver suddenly rushed in urgently.
He wondered what was wrong, but soon realized the seriousness of the situation.
“London… Trafalgar Square, you say?”
The center of London.
Monsters would pour into that place always bustling with tourists?
“We need to gather the Apostles, but we might not have enough time. The notice was posted not long ago.”
“Lawrence.”
Just then, the Duke of Westminster, who had been listening to the conversation, stepped forward.
“Don’t worry. I’ll contact Parliament and the Royal Family immediately.”
“Your Grace will?”
“Of course. If it’s Amon’s warning, we must believe it. Thanks to him, we’ve been able to savor such heavenly taste, haven’t we?”
The Duke of Westminster immediately took out his phone.
“Hello? Is this the Prime Minister’s office? This is Westminster. An emergency situation is about to occur in London right now. Seal off the Trafalgar Square area and mobilize the Apostle Management Department.”
At the Duke’s word, the British government began to move.
“Here, have some fruit.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
Han So Ra had been spending more comfortable time than ever since her relationship with her mother improved.
The cold atmosphere from before had disappeared, and now only family-like warmth remained.
Buzz! Buzz!
While resting leisurely at home, the group chat rang.
[Park Se Hee: Girls! This is a serious situation.]
[Seo Mina: Why? What’s wrong?]
[Park Se Hee: Monsters are going to attack the city center!]
[Seo Mina: What? Really?]
[Park Se Hee: Check the Transcendence Net notice for details, and you know Rodeo Street in Apgujeong, right? We need to gather there right now! Amon has summoned us!]
From the way she was talking, it seemed like a really urgent matter.
When she accessed Transcendence Net, an emergency notice caught her eye.
‘This is…’
Han So Ra’s face gradually hardened as she read through the notice.
A simultaneous worldwide attack by monsters.
Seoul wasn’t on the list, but there must be a reason why Amon told them to gather at Rodeo Street.
Seeing Han So Ra hurriedly putting on clothes to go out, her mother called out.
“Sora! Where are you going?”
“There’s going to be a monster attack! I have to go stop it!”
“What?”
“Don’t go out and stay home!”
“Be careful!”
At her mother’s voice, Han So Ra smiled and nodded.
“Don’t worry. I’m strong.”
Han So Ra left home and moved quickly.
Rodeo Street, the meeting place, was quieter than expected.
‘What? It should be crowded at this time…’
At the destination, all the party members were already gathered.
Jason, Thomas, Henry, Park Se Hee, Seo Mina, and other familiar faces were visible, but.
‘Over there…?’
Weihao, Wang Ho Wei, and even Hiromune.
Faces she didn’t usually encounter were also visible.
“Sora! Come quickly!”
“Sorry I’m late. But why are there no people here?”
“Amon is blocking entry with his telekinesis barrier.”
“What?”
There had been no people since getting off at Apgujeong Rodeo Station…
‘My goodness. He’s blocking a 300-meter radius with telekinesis?’
Han So Ra’s gaze turned to Amon standing in the center.
For someone spreading telekinesis over such a wide radius, his face looked remarkably calm.
“If he’s blocking with telekinesis… how did I get in?”
“Sora, he knew you were coming and left that part open for you.”
“What? That’s possible?”
“I don’t know either. He let all of us in the same way.”
It was surprising, but suddenly she felt puzzled.
Why was he controlling civilians here?
Wasn’t Korea not on the danger list?
“Don’t tell me… this place is…?”
“That’s right. Korea was also a place subject to monster invasion. Amon didn’t bother mentioning it since he would block it himself.”
“Ah… so that’s why he’s controlling like this…”
But there were people visible besides the Amon Guild.
More precisely, they weren’t people but summons wearing armor.
“Aren’t those summons that Amon commands?”
“Yeah. He stationed a small number just in case.”
For a small number, there were quite a lot.
“It looks like about 100?”
“Looks like a lot, right? But he deployed 2,000 each worldwide.”
“What? 2,000 each?”
He deployed 2,000 each to the seven countries marked as danger targets?
After hearing that, 100 definitely couldn’t help but look small.
“But 2,000 might not be enough. We don’t know how many monsters will pour out.”
“Then, Seoul will be blocked with these forces? Amon, the summons, and us… like this?”
“That’s right. But Amon will block most of it himself.”
“What? What about us?”
“If there are any monsters that slip through, we just need to clean those up…”
“Ah…”
Indeed, if he was skilled enough to command tens of thousands of summons and block a wide area with telekinesis, they wouldn’t need to step forward.
“When will it start?”
“We don’t know either…”
That’s when it happened.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The peaceful sky began to distort.
The sound of space tearing could be heard.
Crash crash crash!
A huge hole opened in the sky and a black vortex began rotating.
And below it.
“Kiiiaak!”
“Kyaaaa!”
Massive amounts of monsters poured out.
Administrator’s Space.
Beriak was making a pleased expression inside his black helmet.
‘The plan is perfect.’
The origin of this plan was thanks to Hasaksios’s words.
That Amon had tried to protect humans during his battle with Abysalon.
‘If he cares for humans that much? Then target the humans.’
A direct confrontation honestly made him uncertain.
How could he defeat the monster that even killed Abysalon?
‘I can’t win in a frontal battle.’
But what about tormenting those around him?
‘That should be enough to deal psychological damage to him.’
He tears holes in dimensions to release massive numbers of monsters throughout the entire world.
It consumes enormous amounts of Terra, but it doesn’t matter.
After all, not a single bit of his own Terra was used.
‘If humans die? That will surely deal a blow to his mind as well.’
That’s when he’ll challenge him to a one-on-one fight.
Then he can definitely win.
Nothing is easier than cutting down a weakened enemy.
Beriak observed Earth’s state through Administrator’s Eye.
Anticipating the chaos that would soon unfold.
But then.
[Huh?]
Something was strange.
People were waiting at every location where holes had been torn.
[What is this…?]
Tokyo, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, São Paulo.
And finally Seoul.
Every city was in the same situation.
Even before the holes had opened, they had thoroughly prepared at the exact locations.
[Impossible! How did they know the locations?]
Tearing dimensional holes was a top-secret plan.
No one except the Administrators should have known.
‘Did someone leak it? Or…’
Beriak was confused.
It was a plan where surprise attacks were key, but if they prepared in advance like that, it would naturally be blocked.
Beriak’s gaze stopped at one place.
He saw a man on Rodeo Street looking up at the sky and smiling.
[That bastard…!]
It was the Demigod, Lee Tae Seong.
