Warning to the World (2)
Seon Yul and Cheon Li Yu were standing in a place where Château de Chandioux looked like nothing more than a distant dot.
“Miss Li Yu, you see that faint, crumbling castle over there, right? Please share your vision as high above it as possible.”
“Yes!”
At the same time as she answered, Cheon Li Yu immediately activated Divine Eye.
‘As far as possible!!’
Through Divine Eye, she first looked roughly about 6 km up into the sky and carefully attempted to share that vision with Seon Yul beside her.
Since Seon Yul had already been set as ‘One Who Looks at the Same Place,’ there was no need for any physical contact.
Tsssss.
‘Please… let it work!!’
Cheon Li Yu focused her mind and tried with all her might to successfully establish the shared vision.
And perhaps her effort paid off.
Flaaaash!
Amazingly, the shared vision at 6 km altitude succeeded.
“Very good!”
Seon Yul nodded while looking at the same view as Cheon Li Yu and raised his thumb in approval.
Then he immediately focused his mind and slowly began the Overrun.
The 5,000-ton steel sphere had already been prepared inside Absolute Space.
Just like last time, he had bought it from the All-Purpose Shop at the expensive cost of 31.7 kg of intermediate-grade magic stones, and the Overrun process was the same as before.
Seon Yul spent 16.4 kg of intermediate-grade magic stones to successfully open an Absolute Space entrance with a diameter of 14 meters high up in the sky.
Even just these two costs alone amounted to over 4.8 billion won, but he did not consider it a waste.
If he was going to show it once, he intended to show it properly, even if it meant investing this much, or even more.
“The preparations are done… but you can really drop the steel sphere precisely onto that ruined castle, right?”
“Yes! It’s definitely possible!”
Seon Yul and Cheon Li Yu communicated verbally while their visions remained shared.
“Then we’re starting.”
After hearing Cheon Li Yu’s confident answer, Seon Yul immediately began pulling the 5,000-ton steel sphere out through the large Absolute Space entrance.
Cheon Li Yu carefully watched the steel sphere while preparing to use her level perk, Target Designation.
Rrrrrrrrr.
A steel sphere nearly the same size as the Absolute Space entrance slowly emerged.
The moment it was fully pulled out…
The steel sphere naturally began free-falling under gravity.
‘Target Designation!!’
The instant the steel sphere began falling freely, Cheon Li Yu designated the steel sphere as the projectile and the ruined castle in the distance as the target.
“It’s done!”
The process was extremely simple, but with that alone, the 5,000-ton steel sphere was now guaranteed to fall on Château de Chandioux with 100% certainty.
Thus, the now-perfected Hammer of God was activated.
Wooooooooooo!
The 5,000-ton steel sphere began falling at tremendous speed.
The moment it left Absolute Space, it rapidly rusted and became unsightly… but of course, that meant absolutely nothing.
“Alright, let’s go inside.”
After confirming that the steel sphere was falling, Seon Yul immediately ended the shared vision.
Then he entered Absolute Space together with Cheon Li Yu through another Absolute Space entrance that had been opened behind them beforehand.
The steel sphere was expected to hit the Château de Chandioux in about one minute.
Kwoaaaaaaa!
The steel sphere continued accelerating as it fell faster and faster.
Since it was dropped from a higher altitude than when Hammer of God had been used in Jeju, the physical force contained within the sphere naturally increased as well.
The power increased, and the accuracy became 100%.
Originally, aerial bombardment based purely on physical force like this already possessed a powerful bunker-buster effect in itself.
Therefore, the 5,000-ton steel sphere dropped by Seon Yul was naturally capable of directly striking Old Blood’s headquarters, which had been built 70 meters underground beneath Château de Chandioux.
KWA-GWAGWAGWAGWAGWA!!
Like a meteor falling from space, the steel sphere dropped in a straight line from the sky toward Château de Chandioux.
Old Blood’s headquarters, Sanctuaire, had a modern radar system installed.
However, Hammer of God was never the kind of attack that could be stopped simply because it was detected by radar.
From the moment it was detected, the attack would land within 10 seconds, so even if they knew it was coming, they had no choice but to take the hit.
Inside Absolute Space, Seon Yul and Cheon Li Yu looked down through the opening beneath them and watched the spectacle that Hammer of God would create a few seconds later.
4, 3, 2, 1…… BoooooM!!!!!
Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Just as Cheon Li Yu had confidently stated, the steel sphere fell precisely onto Château de Chandioux.
Then, while cleanly erasing the already half-collapsed castle, it burrowed straight underground.
Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Although 70 meters underground was quite deep, Hammer of God seemed to mock that depth as it instantly penetrated the full 70 meters and reached Old Blood’s headquarters.
And then…
It released the massive kinetic energy that had been compressed within it in a single instant.
KWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!
The explosion that began deep underground surged upward like a real nuclear detonation, creating an enormous explosion cloud.
Ruuuuuuuuumble.
On the surface, the ground shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred, and the Old Blood headquarters that had been underground was utterly destroyed without leaving even a trace.
Naturally, the Old Blood members inside also seemed unlikely to have survived.
However, Seon Yul… who had watched all of this from the sky, had an expression that suggested this was not the end.
Quietly, he began taking out a large number of things he had prepared in advance.
They looked like bombs about 1 meter in size with wings attached.
At a glance, they resembled drones, but they were not drones.
Their name was the Korean GPS Guided Bomb.
More precisely, KGGB-2.
This was a version of the KGGB with its explosive power increased several times over.
Seon Yul had registered it in the All-Purpose Tool Shop just in case he had visited the Magical National Defense Research Institute.
Of course, he had not registered it to use inside a mana field.
He had only registered it beforehand in case he ever had to fight an enemy that did not use mana.
And now he was taking it out.
Seon Yul brought out 100 KGGB-2 bombs and dropped them all toward the Absolute Space entrance opening below.
Naturally, the GPS settings had already been configured.
All the KGGB-2 bombs would simply fall until reaching a certain altitude, and once they reached the preset altitude, the GPS guidance would activate and send them flying toward their targets.
And naturally, the target was the ruins of Château de Chandioux.
In truth, it might not have been necessary to go this far.
Old Blood’s headquarters had already been almost annihilated by the perfected Hammer of God.
At most, a few extremely lucky Old Blood members might have survived with severe injuries, but even they would most likely die before rescue teams could arrive.
Even so, Seon Yul had no intention of leaving even the slightest possibility.
Or more precisely, he intended to show the world very clearly.
Whoooooosh! Boom! Kwang! Kwagwagwang!!!
The 100 KGGB-2 bombs dropped by Seon Yul fell onto the already devastated ruins of Château de Chandioux, causing continuous additional explosions.
Like a carpet bombing, the 100 KGGB-2 bombs rained down one after another.
With that, Old Blood’s chances of survival became zero.
No… survival was no longer the issue.
The Old Blood headquarters itself had been completely erased from the world, leaving nothing behind.
“It’s finished. Thank you for helping me.”
After personally watching the final carpet bombing with his own eyes, Seon Yul closed the large Absolute Space entrance that had been opened in the floor.
“Are the terrorists called Old Blood all dead now?”
“No. They’re not all gone yet. Since they operated worldwide… the branches on each continent remain.”
“Ah…”
“But those will all be dealt with within ten days.”
“Don’t tell me… Seon Yul-nim…”
“Yes. I plan to wipe out every branch I know about. Ah, but when I deal with the branches, I don’t think I’ll need your help, Miss Li Yu.”
“I could keep helping you though…”
“No, it’s fine. They’re just minor remnants. I can clean them up lightly on my own. Miss Li Yu can just rest for now… and later, we’ll do something else together.”
“Something else?”
“You’ve never gone gate hunting before, have you?”
“No…”
“Once this is over, let’s go together.”
Through this Old Blood extermination operation, Seon Yul realized something very clearly.
That was the necessity of Cheon Li Yu.
Not only because of Hammer of God… she was an existence that helped Seon Yul in far too many ways.
Moreover, she was extremely cooperative and friendly.
Because of that, Seon Yul decided that this time, he would slightly break his principle of never trusting others.
“Really?”
“Yes. For now, let’s return to Korea.”
Seon Yul returned to Korea together with Cheon Li Yu, who had suddenly become excited at the mention of hunting.
Just as he had told her, he had no intention of ending the Old Blood extermination operation yet.
Among the key information he had obtained from Jean-Philippe, there were seven secret Old Blood branch bases across the continents.
Seon Yul planned to erase all seven of them from the world as well.
Unlike the headquarters, there was no need to use Hammer of God for the branches.
The weapons he would use to erase them were K9X and a railgun.
Especially the railgun… he planned to actively use it while also conducting live combat testing.
‘Cockroaches should be exterminated down to the very last one.’
Seon Yul, who had absolutely no intention of showing mercy to Old Blood, chose his next target as the African branch located in Egypt, the closest place to France.

Starting from France, a series of explosions that continued through Egypt, Russia, India, Thailand, Canada, Brazil, and Australia became a major topic of discussion around the world.
Not only did nearly every country cover it as headline news, but it also became a massive topic in online communities, where posts about it continued to appear endlessly.
That was inevitable.
Explosions had suddenly occurred in each of those countries without any prior warning, and no country had been able to determine the method or the culprit behind them.
France, in particular, had experienced a much larger explosion than the other countries.
As a result, the French government and even the French Gate Management Bureau thoroughly searched the explosion site.
But they ultimately announced that no evidence whatsoever had been found.
The French Gate Management Bureau stated that the only thing confirmed was that some kind of secret facility had existed at the explosion site, and that facility had completely disappeared due to the explosion.
Meanwhile, a post appeared in an online community that revealed the connection between the explosions occurring across multiple countries, drawing even more attention.
— Old Blood has completely disappeared from the world due to these serial explosions.
> I’m writing this anonymously because I have been doing various illegal jobs for Old Blood in exchange for large sums of money.
> All the explosions that started in France and occurred across the continents targeted Old Blood’s secret bases.
> On top of that, Old Blood’s secret headquarters in France was destroyed first, so the other continental bases were wiped out before they could even respond properly.
> I don’t know which force carried this out.
> The most suspicious group is probably NEU (Neo User)… but even if it’s NEU, I’m not sure whether something like this would be possible.
> Anyway, I’ve completely cut ties with Old Blood now.
> No… actually, it seems like there’s no Old Blood left to have ties with anymore.

- Looks like we’ve got a traitor bastard right here.
- Old Blood collapsed? That’s some great news for once!
- As always, dead terrorists are always right.
- But seriously, does anyone know how they erased the secret bases? They just say explosions happened… but was it missiles? Airstrikes? Or bombs planted on site? How the hell did they cause those explosions?
- That’s exactly why everyone’s freaking out. Explosions happened, but nobody knows how. No missiles or bombers appeared on radar, and there’s no evidence of explosives planted at the sites. It’s like explosions just happened out of nowhere, and only those specific buildings were completely wiped out, like it was some precision strike.
- That’s insane… is that even possible?
- But if this post is true, I think whoever did it did a great job. Those Old Blood bastards were basically a social evil.
- If Old Blood really disappeared, that would be incredibly satisfying.
- Terrorists who are stuck decades behind the times deserve to die.
…
…
Naturally, mana users cheered at the news that Old Blood had been exterminated.
However, the people of the world still… did not know who had exterminated Old Blood.
This result was somewhat different from what Seon Yul had expected.
Originally, Seon Yul thought that if he openly wiped out Old Blood, people around the world would eventually realize that he was the one responsible.
The reason he had openly used Hammer of God in France in the first place was that he had no intention of hiding his identity.
But the problem was…
Starting with France, the countries involved seemed to deliberately erase every trace Seon Yul had left behind.
It was almost as if the nations had reached some kind of agreement.
And the one who ended up surprised by these movements of the countries… was Seon Yul himself.
