Chapter 668






The Revolutionary Army, one of the Three Great Evils, incites the citizens of the Empire and the border nations to carry out nationwide terrorist acts to overthrow the Emperor.

Traditionally, they begin an armed uprising of the massive Revolutionary Army and march toward the Capital, creating a self-destructive bomb terror within the Hwanggung at the heart of the Jeido, filled with countless wars, uprisings, and terrorism, exploding the stack of past atrocities.

The motivation is simple.

Revenge for the Father.

A fight against the Emperor for the citizens of the entire continent who will perish under the false system of the Empire.

Setting aside the righteousness of that mission, humans are remarkably easy to understand.

In comparison to the other two of the Three Great Evils.

The Man’s Representative, the Leader of the Organization.

These two are quite difficult to understand in terms of frequency of appearance and chapter goals.

The Man’s Representative, having lost in a faith duel, revolts against the Empire, which has made the one true deity, Sofemia, the state religion, as the representative of the forgotten gods who are fading into oblivion.

To achieve this, they commit terrorist acts against each church, create bizarre disturbances to spread the faith of forgotten gods using their powers, or build a massive dungeon to sacrifice the entire Middle Realm in a world ritual that connects to a special dimensional realm called [Idea], where the ideals of each church are gathered, which is quite unpredictable and flamboyant.

Their motives and identities remain unknown.

The Man’s Representative carries the will of too many gods.

At this point, they are reduced to mere puppets of the obliterated Old Gods or agents executing their will.

The Leader of the Organization has been engaged in a long battle against humanity’s enemies, the Spirit Contractors.

To prepare for the hundred hidden realm incursions that occur when the Principal is immersed, they are indeed necessary, but their paranoia is so intense that the moment they sense even a hint of any spirits connected, they hastily burn a city or erase a country from the map, causing a ruckus.

In truth, it’s not that people are inherently bad, but because they lack skills and knowledge, and are just somewhat inadequate.

Huff huff “The techniques of the hidden realms can be a bit difficult to comprehend!”

For instance, while the murder techniques may have been developed to the max in the tech tree, the cultural progress of the Middle Realm is lacking, resulting in spirits providing entertainment that drives them mad. What if engraving a spirit’s rune leads to the burning death of an annoying neighbor as a sacrifice to the spirit?

The Organization identifies the source of the disturbances and maps those possessing knowledge of spirit runes to see where they are distributed across the countries and regions before literally Wipe Out the entire area.

Who knows who might secretly hide dangerous and biased knowledge, then spread it in another country or region? Hence, they insist on killing every living being within the designated area and razing buildings and burning books to ashes.

Cough cough, we could just filter people using mental detection magic or trace spirit markings with detection magic and conduct epidemiological investigations!”

A modern Earthling would definitely think so, but considering the level of dangerous people in this area, even without being denizens of other realms, once they discover such convenient powers, they might be used for military purposes, leading to even greater tragedies, making local leaders untrustworthy. They choose to Clean Sweep and wipe everything out instead.

While it might be satisfying, it’s also the reason the Organization has been treated like madmen and thoroughly oppressed in the shadows while barely maintaining their existence.

“Oh dear, did you not know? This is a technology for investigating infectious diseases and the patterns of disease occurrence, transmission dynamics, causes, etc. It’s a social technology effective even in detecting spirit rune magic.”

Sometimes, this Organization frustrates me, and I feel sorry for them. But if I wipe them all out, it would be hard to stop the hundred dimensional realms, leading me to use loopholes.

The modern genius operation of spreading advanced modern civilization to enlighten the primitive fantasy denizens!

“Where did such technology even come from? You bring the knowledge of other realms that doesn’t exist in modern sociology? You must be a Spirit Contractor!”

“Anyone disseminating knowledge inconsistent with the times is likely a Spirit Contractor blessed with the wisdom of spirits. Kill all suspected individuals!”

“If you don’t kill the one who hasn’t died now, they will lead millions to their death later!”

Not a chance.

The Organization was more bizarre than imagined, and the modern genius operation was crumpled up and deleted.

So I switched to another study.

If I can’t convince the Organization, let’s convince the ruler, the Leader of the Organization.

What a lazy thought.

Knowing how the Leader is selected through generations only made it worse.

The Leader passes on the position to the one within the Organization who has the most accurate ideology and skills deemed appropriate every several decades.

In other words, it’s a position inherited by a strong lunatic who advocates for broader extermination operations among the addicts of regular large-scale extermination, claiming to be able to successfully achieve those exterminations.

The Empire had no patience for such lunatics, thus Spirit Contractors fled to the Empire for refuge, causing the Organization to naturally view the Empire as their greatest enemy.

By the time of the Ex-Emperor, they outright considered Spirit Contractors as the worst Betrayers protecting the realm!

“The Ex-Emperor is too powerful. Is our mission ending here…”

“No, we cannot let the long-held duty of protecting humanity vanish like this.”

Since the severe crackdowns began under the Ex-Emperor, the Organization has been annihilated and their numbers drastically reduced.

The reason this Organization could maintain its existence into modern times lay in one compromise.

“Since our enemies also use the powers of the hidden realms, if we lack power to protect humanity, how can we not use the powers of the hidden realms ourselves?”

“Even if this soul degenerates and perishes, let us embrace evil powers to eradicate our enemies!”

“It’s just Poison and Poison. Collect all the otherworldly knowledge of this world and make that mystery our asset! Only by restoring the crumbled Organization can we save humanity in crisis!”

Throughout the ages, the Leaders of the Organization studied the powers of the hidden realms, and before their souls could fall prey to the vile beings of the Other Realm, they devised ways to taint their souls instead.

They infiltrated the Middle Realm to the point of becoming a significant part of it, with the greatest hidden realm, the Demon Realm, using Dark Mana to corrupt their souls, resulting in a soul unfit for consumption.

Using the knowledge, power, and mysteries of the Other Realm freely while, at the right moment before souls are seized, they explode their gathered Dark Mana to prevent their souls from being devoured.

This proved to be a quite effective method.

Except, of course, for the humans trampled by the violent Minions who had been ruined by Dark Mana.

“The Organization is simply outdoing themselves.”

“They can no longer coexist with the Empire.”

“Anyone handling any mysteries, treat them as members of the Organization and eliminate them!”

This event also marked the beginning of the Empire’s long tradition of oppression of non-humanoid beings.

The oppression against all inhuman beings commenced.

Born with six fingers?

Snap You’re dead.

If a child babbles past the age of five?

Mumble You’re dead, might be chatting with spirits.

Why are your ears growing on top of your head?

Slice You’re dead, might have fused with a spirit.

Because of their ancestors that only tested humanity’s slightly diverse potential, the Beastmen were almost exterminated.

The fact that, amidst all this, there were indeed real Spirit Contractors is a tragic irony of the traitors who betrayed humanity with the hidden spirits, who were unwittingly targeted due to a true member of the Organization continuously transforming into a Minion, with the Demon King’s Army obliviously perishing in the process.

“Those who fear the Empire, pledge your mysteries.”

This was also why tribes, freaks, and even actual Spirit Contractors oppressed by the Empire had no choice but to gather like clouds under the call of the Leader of the Organization.

Thus, the Leader amassed numerous mysteries and began to stand against the Empire.

Thinking: “But why is that big cheese over there doing that?”

As I watched the confrontation between the market filled with the feeling of Dark Mana and the Pleasure Realm, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Whether it’s the market displaying the abilities of all debtors affected by the Pleasure Realm or the Jibsa Jang showcasing every mysterious ability included in the mystery realm, they seemed similar to me.

It’s hard to even count how many techniques are clashing, but being able to handle that much Mana is an even bigger deal, right?

Thinking: “Where on earth are they storing all that Mana in their bodies?”

I’m struggling to compress Mana tightly into this small body!

Just a moment for admiration.

Scuffle scuffle It undeniably looked like a fight that wouldn’t end anytime soon, leading me to think of something else.

While they are actually fighting desperately to avoid being swept away by the Pleasure Slaves and Jibsas, isn’t there no one guarding that over there?

Then… would it be a problem for me to sneak a little for myself?

It’s a cheeky thought, but if I succeed, it could be jackpot!

[Pleasure Realm]

[Mystery Realm]

So I subtly mixed in with the battlefield where the two powers clashed, rolling around like a tumbleweed in a Western, bouncing from one realm to another until I reached the area near the Pleasure Slaves, zoned out and eagerly watching the epic duel!
