“Apostle of Creation?”

Sejun realized just now who the being that had addressed him a while ago was: the Creator God who had created the towers and then vanished. To think that God had an apostle! It was an astonishing fact.

“But it’s a pity.”

He remembered the crops he couldn’t pick from Emila’s garden. The crop Sejun wanted to pick was a peach. He wished he could have taken just one bite… It was regretful.

“Still, our Vice Chairman Theo really is something.”

Squish. Squish.

Sejun fiddled with the squishy pink jelly of the sleeping Theo. Sejun remarked on his incredible detection ability that could even identify an apostle of the creation god that no one knew existed. Probably even dragons couldn’t do that.

As Sejun was admiring Theo,

Krueng!

[Cuengi has filled up his snack pouch!]

Cuengi emerged from the void storage, patting his full snack pouch with a proud expression.

Krueng?

[Is it nap time now?]

Cuengi, looking at the sleeping Theo and Golden Bat, asked.

“Are you sleepy, Cuengi?”

Sejun asked, thinking that if Cuengi was sleepy, they would rest here before moving on.

However,

Krueng!

[Cuengi’s not sleepy yet!]

In response to Sejun’s question, Cuengi shook his head. He had just filled his snack pouch with food; there was no way he’d feel sleepy now.

“Then, let’s go back to the farm first.”

Krueng!

[Understood!]

Sejun rode the enlarged Cuengi back to the farm.

Incheon International Airport.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to Korea.”

A man with silver-white hair and a black suit spoke as he exited the departure gate. A long scar marred the left side of his face, making people avoid getting too close to him.

Then,

“Welcome! Mr. Tamuro!”

Four muscular men who had been waiting greeted Tamuro.

“What’s the situation?”

“As usual. There are 50 guards at home, around 30 at the workplace and school. Some of the guards are confirmed to have firearms.”

“Our side?”

“We have 30 hunters and 100 organization members, all armed and waiting.”

“It’s going to get noisy. It would’ve been easier to deal with inside the tower…”

Tamuro remarked with a hint of reluctance. If they had managed to prevent the shipment of the Sturdy Blade Green Onions from coming to Earth from the tower as planned, there would’ve been no need for him to act.

But the Silver Wolves joined the transport of the Sturdy Blade Green Onions, disrupting the organization’s plans. Due to the Sturdy Blade Green Onions supplied from the tower, it had prevented the rapid increase of the Locusts.

On top of that, Akiro and Pablo suddenly lost contact. As things kept getting complicated, Mister 2, the second-in-command of the organization, took direct action.

The plan was to kidnap the wandering cat merchant Theo, locate Park Sejun, take possession of the crops, all while eradicating the Sturdy Blade Green Onions.

“But who would’ve thought we’d lose contact with Mister 2 as well…”

In this way, they found themselves forced into action in Korea, even though they knew it would become chaotic.

“Let’s move then!”

“First, let’s head to the site.”

“Yes!”

Tamuro got into a car, heading towards Bucheon.
