Somebody Stop the Pope – 35



Episode 35

5.

“5 minutes before entering the operation area!”

“Just as Awakened Kim Si-woo said the flying monsters aren’t rushing in!”

The operations control room of the aviation squadron.

Yoo Seon-ho nodded slightly as he listened to the reports coming from all over the place.

“I’m watching you.”

The flying monsters that ruled the skies of the Lost Lands were nowhere to be found.

Even though arrows and magical attacks occasionally flew between the orcs those attacks could never reach the helicopter.

Because as soon as they got close to the helicopter all the attacks disappeared without a trace.

The helicopter flying over the massive army of orcs that filled the ground was thrilling even just through the video.

“A live broadcast of an air assault operation on YouTube… I guess I might have to write a report on this too.”

As Yoo Seon-ho said the progress of the operation was being fully disclosed to the public through YouTube.

“Minister if you are concerned you can stop the broadcast right now.”

“No way. How could I change my words when Kim Si-woo the awakened one made such a strong request? If I did it would only break the trust I worked so hard to build and there would be no benefit to it. And I have already agreed to the situation.”

Kim Si-woo insisted on a live broadcast under the pretext of proving himself and Yoo Seon-ho could not stop him.

He is a person who has never made an unreasonable request to the Department of Ability Management.

Although he was in a position where he could have pushed through unreasonable requests through his status as an irregular he did not do so.

Not only that but last time he guided the villains that the Ability Management Department was chasing as gifts.

I was already feeling a sense of indebtedness because of what had happened in the past.

Besides Yoo Seon-ho also thought that Kim Si-woo needed to prove himself to the public so he had no reason to refuse his request.

“But Minister. If Kim Si-woo’s Awakening fails we will have to bear the burden of broadcasting the failed operation live. If that happens the uselessness of the Ability Management Department will become even more serious…”

Yoo Seon-ho nodded with a bitter smile at Kim Dong-sik’s words.

“If Kim Si-woo the awakened one can’t stop it wouldn’t it be the same ending? If we can’t even solve the serious situation of the Monster Wave on our own what’s the big deal about the theory of martial arts?”

“This is because incidents are occurring simultaneously across the country…”

“Haha so you want this old man to come out to the public and say ‘I’m sorry. I couldn’t respond properly because I was busy.’ You’re such a pain in the ass.”

“Minister.”

“Whether we’re broadcasting live or not if Kim Si-woo’s awakening fails the result is the same. In that case wouldn’t it be reasonable to raise the stakes?”

It had been quite some time since the power of Awakened people held by private forces including large guilds had surpassed that of Awakened people belonging to the state.

In Yoo Seon-ho’s view this imbalance was not good at all.

Even now there are already claims that the Ability Management Department is useless centered around the Jeon Gak-ryeon.

Power unchecked corrupts absolutely.

In fact several large guilds were already showing signs of branching out into illegal areas.

“Kim Si-woo the awakened person is not part of our Ability Management Department.”

“That doesn’t mean they’re members of the Jeon Kak-ryeon. Those two have already come too far to turn back.”

Yoo Seon-ho took a sip of the mixed coffee in front of him.

And he continued speaking to Kim Dong-sik.

“Do you know why each country classifies returnees especially Disaster-class ones separately? They could be classified as S-class like Hunters.”

“…I don’t know.”

“Disaster-class returnees are individuals who have left amazing traces in their respective worlds. Whether they are good or evil they are beings who have exerted influence on the order of a world. If they were to return to their home planet Earth how likely would it be for them to conform to the existing order? Of course the degree would vary from person to person but they are inevitably beings who cause conflict. That is why they are called disasters.”

In fact some countries around the world have been hit hard by uncontrolled disaster-level returnees.

Even the Disaster-class which could be measured for its power during the return process was at that level so what about the Irregular-class which could be considered a higher grade?

“Conflict is inevitable. Our job is to divert that conflict in the direction we want as much as possible.”

“Are you saying that you will use the awakened Kim Si-woo to check the Jeon Gak-ryun?”

“Use? Have you forgotten my nickname? I was just making a deal.”

Yoo Seon-ho finished his speech with a gentle smile and then turned his gaze to his monitor where the live broadcast on MeTube was being broadcast.

Before we knew it a huge army of orcs was appearing on the screen.

Green-skinned monsters that catch the eye even though the shot is taken from the air.

It felt like the orcs’ fighting spirit was being conveyed through the screen alone.

Then suddenly a chat window floating next to the screen caught his eye.

-Is this really live?

-Wow… Is this a monster wave????

-What if I push down the ceasefire line like that?

-They say that evacuation work is already underway in Paju in preparation for the worst case scenario.

-Don’t worry the Jeon Gak-ryeon hyungs will block it all.

-Trust me Limen will save you!

-You must not fall for the delusions of these cultists. Everyone. The Lord still loves you.

-It’s not just here that’s causing chaos right now. But this place looks the most serious.

-X happened X happened X happened X happened X happened X happened X happened

“Hehehe Team Leader Kim. Can you see it? I heard it’s X.”

“…Minister.”

“The world has really become a better place. You can even watch aerial training in real time on your phone… isn’t that right?”

Yoo Seon-ho nodded with a hearty laugh.

There was no need to be serious at times like this.

The die has already been cast and all we have to do is humbly accept the outcome.

It was around that time that he was looking at the monitor.

“The helicopter has arrived over the operation area!”

“A unique entity designated as the Overlord has been captured!”

Following the soldiers’ voices echoing through the operation control room Kim Si-woo’s voice soon flowed out from the screen.

“The big guy over there is the Overlord. He’s a very dangerous guy. I’ll be back soon. Oh and this channel is the official YouTube channel of the Limen Church so please like and subscribe and set up notifications. Okay.”

“Your Holiness! Parachute! Parachute…”

After a while.

“…meteor?”

A white burning meteor suddenly appeared on the screen.

And that meteor is soon.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

It was slammed into the middle of the orcs with a huge crash.

6.

I guess I’m getting a little older.

“Oh my knees feel cold.”

There was a time when I could jump from higher places without any problems.

This is why people are afraid of aging.

Still I have no complaints since it seems to have landed where I wanted.

I tapped my knee a few times with my hand then lifted my head slightly and looked ahead.

There a green monster that looked to be at least three meters tall was looking at me with its arms crossed in an X.

Around him were scattered pieces of ‘what had once been orcs’ seemingly left behind by the impact I’d just received.

“Nice to meet you. Is this our first meeting? But I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere.”

Normally humans and orcs cannot communicate.

Because the language system we use is different to begin with. However I have the blessing that Limen gave me to help me adapt to Eden.

[Passive skill <Blessing of Language> is applied.]

This blessing is not only applicable to humans.

The scope of the blessing is <everything with the ability to speak>.

Therefore it was possible to communicate sufficiently with Orcs who had different language systems.

“I don’t understand. In the future he showed me there were no human warriors like you. So why?”

Of course I could understand what that guy was saying.

I clenched my fists slightly and walked forward slowly.

I began to smell the bloody smell of the orcs that I had been sick of in the past.

“The reason your skin is green is because you have demon blood mixed in?”

I’ve heard that the reason the Orcs can’t help but be consumed by madness and rage is because they’ve inherited the blood of the devil.

I vaguely remember those guys fighting on the side of the Demon King of Wrath.

That may also be the reason why the orcs are consumed by mad rage.

The overlord spoke harshly revealing his yellow teeth.

“I can understand what you’re saying. Is it magic? For that to be the case… I sense an eerie power coming from you.”

“I heard before that great monarchs like you aren’t born naturally? That you’re conceived through the demons’ magic.”

The wyvern from last time was like that and so was the doppelganger and the lich.

At this point I feel confident.

“That’s a magic that came over from Eden. Last time it was a magic of pride but this time it’s a trace of anger.”

The last Demon King of Wrath that I destroyed in Eden.

The magic flowing from the body of the orc overlord in front of me was clearly his magic.

Saaaaaaa-

“Fate must be fulfilled. I will kill you here and now.”

A huge black double-edged axe appeared in the guy’s hand.

A huge size that looked twice my size.

The overlords were individuals born with innate powers of dominance but they also possessed enough fighting power to single-handedly annihilate an entire order of knights.

If he had been sent down like that he would have easily killed four S-class hunters at the level of CEO Choi.

“It was good that we came by helicopter.”

The Orcs are a natural warrior race and the more they fight the more terrible they become.

If there were a great overlord of that level there the damage would have been much more serious than expected.

It’s a good thing actually.

Because it’s best to kill dangerous sprouts in advance.

I nodded slightly and waved my hand at the overlord.

“Come on. You bastard whose father is the devil.”

It was the moment when I lightly snapped my fingers.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

The orc overlord rushed at me with a speed that did not match his 3-meter distance and swung his axe.

The giant axe of the guy who started to wield magic leaves a huge crater where I was just a moment ago.

Passs …

Even though I quickly moved out of the axe’s range a massive shockwave swept through my entire body.

Pure physical force created by extremely condensed magic.

It was a shock wave of such terrible power that it could even tear apart steel.

“Kurrrrrrrr!”

“It’s spicier than I thought.”

Of course I couldn’t even get a single scratch on my body.

I pushed the guy’s axe away with my fist and landed lightly on the ground furrowing my brow slightly.

I think we need to correct the level of risk that this guy carries.

Not four S-class hunters but at least six.

Compared to other orc overlords we faced in Eden he was considerably more dangerous.

It seemed clear that whoever conceived that guy had put special care into making it.

“The great undertaking has begun. We are the ones who have pulled the trigger. No human warrior can stop us from our destiny.”

A crimson aura rippled from the creature’s green skin and a bloodshot glint of anger and madness gleamed from his eye sockets.

Kkaddddddddd-.

The magical energy flowing out of the Great Monarch’s body quickly consumes the land.

Was it said that Magi was the energy that came into contact with the possibility of life’s <desire>?

The magic that began to burn within the giant’s body burned even more fiercely fueled by his anger and madness.

I nodded slightly as I looked at the sight.

Then he glanced at the helicopter floating in the sky then slowly raised his hand and said.

“I think the fighting scene should be filmed pretty well at this point… I promised the pilots that I would finish it quickly right? So let’s finish it quickly.”

“Come nameless human warrior. I admire your courage in blocking my path and as the leader of the orcs I will face you personally! Let’s have a glorious duel…”

“Oh no. I don’t think so.”

“…What?”

“I’m filming right now. I’d love to do some flashy action scenes but I’m not really feeling up to it today. Oh and.”

[Cast active skill <Tomb of the Holy Spear Lv. ?>]

[This skill is a skill that exceeds causality. Therefore the power of the skill is adjusted according to the causality allowed to you.]

“I’m not a warrior so it’s okay to be a little cowardly.”

Kwakwakwaaaaaaaaah-!

Countless white spears began to stick from the high sky to the ground.

Our Pope please stop this
