I Picked a Mobile From Another World

Episode 282 [ Tower of Chaos (1) ]

Southern United States.

The Mississippi River, the background of the novel Tom Sawyer’s Adventures, has been uninhabited for some time.

It was because of the new owner of the river.

Logistics were blocked and bridges collapsed.

Because it is a long river that crosses several states, some people risked their lives to cross the river, but many were unable to get out of the water.

In the middle of a river that had been deserted for so long, a small fishing boat was floating today.

There weren’t many people on the boat. There was only one awakened person from Korea on the ship.

And the awakened man sat on the boat holding a sword instead of a fishing rod, waiting for the owner of the river.

He intended to catch the master of Mississippi.

There was no fishing rod, but there was bait.

He offered himself as bait to catch the new river owner.

A subtle mana flowed from his body, passed through his stomach, and spread into the river.

And there were people watching the scene.

They were from the CIA, the federal government, and the American Awakened Society.

Dozens of people were standing on the eastern bank of the river, watching the ship through telescopes.

“Can we catch him like this? It’s not human fishing…”

Jake shook his head at the words of a government official next to him.

“Well, he said he would try it. “We’ve done enough because we’ve stopped him enough.”

“But the guilds and the awakeners are all failures, right? “The military failed by using a bunker buster, so I don’t know if it’s possible.”

Jake shrugged.

“Well, they say they showed their skills in Korea, but we also have to confirm. Even if you fail, it’s not such a bad outcome. “If you get hurt and stay in the U.S., it’s actually beneficial.”

To be honest, the skills of A-class awakened people had been confirmed to some extent. Now, I might be more inclined to want to fail.

“If we die, it will become an international problem. “It would be difficult if we became distant from Korea, even because of China and Russia.”

The director of the Ministry of the Interior, who came as an observer, was still feeling frustrated.

It seemed like he had been heavily lobbied by the Awakened Association.

What he said wasn’t wrong.

In order for the Awakened to visit the United States, the United States had to make quite a troublesome deal with the Korean government. There was no way to know how big the backlash from the Korean government would be if the body was even returned here.

But Jake shook his head.

“It may be dangerous, but you won’t die.”

Jake’s confident words made the other person look puzzled.

To be honest, even Jake wasn’t sure.

However, CIA analysts and supercomputers determined that the probability of the Oriental Awakening dying was less than 10%.

I was working at the CIA, and there was no reason not to believe the words of my fellow analysts.

Well, there aren’t many times when I’m wrong….

If you’re that leisurely, the awakened person was sitting on the boat while you were talking leisurely. Kyunghoon stood up.

And the sonar agent who was monitoring the river with a fixed sonar put his hand on his headphones.

“There is a huge object coming towards the bottom of the river.”

Everyone held up their telescopes as he spoke.

“I can’t believe human bait was successful…”

came the surprised voice of the Director of the Ministry of the Interior from beside him.

Jake asked the military officer who had come to support him.

“How were the artillery preparations done?”

“The self-propelled artillery unit is on standby. They can fire as soon as the order is given. But is that okay?”

“It’s okay. I’m a class A awakener. I can withstand conventional artillery fire.”

The problem is that that level of firepower was enough to withstand the monsters that were approaching.

To be honest, the artillery bombardment was a means of support just in case. He

planned to shoot immediately if the awakened person was in danger, but he didn’t expect much either.

“400m, 300m, 200m ahead! That’s incredible speed. . We’ll be in contact with the ship soon!”

The huge black shadow moved quickly below the surface of the water.

Fuaahia, the wave of

the river was

broken

.

It was a monster of one color. A huge monster resembling a fish opened its mouth and leapt out of the water.

Fuaaaaaaaa.

A wave the size of a house hit the boat. It seemed like the boat would be crushed by the waves before it was eaten by the monster.

But the boat was safe. The boat was safe. It did not sink or shake.

Gyeong-Hoon’s technique. Cheongeunchu using mana held the ship in one place.

Quaaaaaang.

But it was not possible to protect the ship from the monsters that attacked along the waves.

The ship shattered into pieces and the monster’s It disappeared into my mouth.

“Oh my god!”

“Ah….”

“Oh my god.”

People screamed at the sight of the ship breaking apart, but those who were awakened and those with sharp eyes were able to see another scene.

The awakened person on the ship was suddenly floating and passing over the monster’s body.

As he swung his sword, the blade glistened in the sunlight and,

wow!

Blood spurted out from the monster’s back.

“Oh my god… is it possible for an awakened person to do something like that?”

“Did you catch it now?”

Everyone was surprised to see the blood gushing out, but the awakened person from the association frowned.

“It was weak. “It’s not a fatal blow.”

As he said, it was not a serious injury.

The shield was shattered and a large cut was made on the monster’s back, but the monster was still able to move.

And the monster ran away like crazy into the water.

The monster immediately realized the situation as it felt its back being cut off. It was a trap. Humans who thought they were prey were not prey but predators.

The monster, who was frantically going down the river, felt something approaching above his head.

Although the water was already tens of meters close to the river bottom, the approaching Mana did not slow down.

Shuaaaaaaaa!

Hundreds and thousands of mana blades poured down as they split the river.

Mana Storm. The mana vortex began to tear through the monster.

The shield was torn apart in an instant. My flesh was torn and my head exploded.

The owner of the Mississippi River could not withstand Mirinae’s overcharge attack even for a moment.

Fuaaaaaa!

The river soared toward the sky. It felt like a huge bomb had exploded underwater.

The rising water was colored red, and monster flesh spread out in all directions along with the water.

Puk puk puk.

Pieces of corpses also fell around people who were watching on the riverside.

The monster’s bones and internal organs flew to people.

Startled people ran to the other side of the river, but some stayed where they were.

They were holding on to their telescopes as if they would not miss a moment of the situation.

Thanks to that, they were able to see the Awoken running on the water holding a mana stone in one hand.

chin.

Before they had even walked a few steps, the Awakened One arrived in front of them.

Kyung-hoon looked at them, covered in red blood and river water.

The military officer looked at Kyung-hoon with a surprised face. The Minister of the Interior who was running away sat down and looked at the blood-covered Awakening.

And the awakened person from the association saw Kyung-hoon and stepped back with a look of horror on his face.

Kyunghoon took a deep breath. And the mana settled down.

The mana control ability was the same as before, but mana was still lacking.

With the mana I had now, it was difficult to fully use Mirinae’s Overcharge.

I had to recover quickly and increase my mana. Fortunately, it seemed like a clue had been found in the newly discovered dimension. I just needed a little more time.

As the mana that was emitting calmed down, the awakened member of the Association slumped down in his seat.

As I lost strength in my legs, I lost strength in my legs.

Jake and the officer looked at the awakened person with a puzzled expression, but the awakened person was just trying to catch his breath.

“The hunt is over. The mana stone is here. “About half of the monster’s corpse remains over there.”

Kyung-hoon pointed to the center of the river.

A half-exploded monster corpse was floating where the boat was.

Jake nodded.

“Has confirmed.”

“Then can I go back soon?”

“Are you going back right away?”

That was the original condition.

The United States had invited Kyung-hoon to the United States to catch monsters that were difficult to deal with in their country.

After receiving Kyung-hoon’s approval, America moved immediately.

The Korean government’s opposition was suppressed with the power of the United States and the permission of the parties involved, and the awakened people were immediately transported on military aircraft.

“Yes, what is your problem?”

Jake shook his head at Kyung-hoon’s words.

“no. “I will arrange a flight for you.”

Kyung-hoon made a strange expression at Jake’s words.

“You’re not holding me by force.”

Jake shrugged his shoulders at Kyung-hoon’s words.

“Of course, I thought about it, but I concluded that it was impossible. “We will continue to be allies in the future, and I have no intention of making a bad impression by doing anything unreasonable.”

Kyunghoon nodded. Fortunately, the United States of this world didn’t seem that bad.

With an opponent like this, I thought it would be okay to cooperate like Jake said.

‘But even this country eventually collapsed…’ Although

it was the last to collapse, the United States also collapsed in the end.

Kyung-hoon was reminded of the ruined basement of the White House. The place that Eve renovated and where Isabelle and Shane stayed.

Kyunghoon suddenly remembered a memory.

“There was a similar name in the document I found there…”

“Yes?”

“If your name is Jake, isn’t your full name Jake Ryan?”

“How did you know?”

Kyung-hoon made a strange expression at Jake’s words.

Apparently, the last president’s name written in the documents found in the basement of the White House was also Jake Ryan. I

couldn’t figure out why they were connected like this.

Kyung-hoon looked at him for a moment and then shook his head. . I had no choice but to do what I had to do because of the future.

Even if the future was determined by what I did, even if the future changed because of me, I couldn’t help but do what I had to do. I just did my

best to get back.

To do that, I had to buy time. America We had to use it to reduce the number of high-level monsters as much as possible.

We had to withstand the cataclysm and protect civilization until the portal and technology were completed.

“You thought well. I hope we can maintain a good relationship in the future.”

Jake raised his eyebrows at Kyung-hoon’s words. His words were filled with the nuance that he was testing how America would react. “Oh, you don’t have to

prepare for the flight. I’ll go right back.”

People looked confused at his words.

A black hole was created under Kyung-hoon’s feet, and he jumped into the hole.

After a while, the hole disappeared.

“Oh my god…”

Jake shook his head at the surprised voice of the Minister of the Interior. .

“It was also a spatial movement characteristic.”

The reason they didn’t forcibly capture Kyung-hoon and the reason they thought he would survive the Mississippi River monster was all because the CIA inferred Kyung-hoon’s characteristics. He was a Class A awakened

person who suddenly fell from the sky, and even after that, the guards often missed him.

And he was . He even came alone to the United States, where he might be forced to naturalize.

By gathering all the information, CIA analysts and a supercomputer inferred Kyung-hoon’s characteristics. The

Korean government was unable to do anything, but the CIA, which analyzed numerous awakened people, believed that Kyung-hoon was a space mover. He concluded that the probability was over 80%,

and now that guess has turned into fact.

“A Class A space mover… This thing must absolutely be considered an ally.”

As the world becomes increasingly fragmented, nothing is more important than the properties of spatial movement. Moreover, the awakened person with that characteristic is the strongest awakened in the world…

“I guess this is not a problem that the CIA should be responsible for.”

Director Jake Ryan took out his phone. He immediately called the White House and the Senate President. For the first time in a long time, it was time for his connections to shine.

*

Meanwhile, Kyung-Hoon did not return to Korea.

Instead of going to Korea, he headed to another dimension.

Pak.

He opened the black hole and came out.

A huge city stretched out on the distant horizon.

It was a megapolis that seemed bigger than Seoul. And this great megapolis had already been destroyed.

Kyunghoon looked towards the center of the city.

In the center of the city, a huge tower rose through the clouds.

The place where Gyeong-hoon was standing was in Babil Province, southern Iraq.

The place where the tower found in the pyramid is located. When the pyramid was located, the city was called Babylon.

The tower stood tall in the center of Babylon.

Like the Tower of Babel against God.
