Chapter Title: The Vanished Plane
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Brother, the plane he boarded has disappeared."
At those words, Go Yohan quietly moved his feet.
"Where?"
"Wait a sec."
Go Minji asked such a Go Yohan, but he slipped out without a reply.
At the same time, the mana spreading out erased all interferences around them.
"What nonsense is this?"
It was the same voice as always, but something icy protruded from it like a blade.
Go Yunsu was studying abroad in the UK.
It was for the alliance between the Royal Guild and the Temple, and also the consideration of Go Jaehan and Shin Sookyung for him, who had found Korea stifling.
They had even heard the news that he, who had been active in the UK for a long time, was finally returning to Korea.
"The plane disappeared?"
The plane he boarded disappeared?
-On the direct route via Russia, right in North Korean airspace, it literally...
Greed said.
-The plane went missing.
"......"
Something seemed to be boiling inside him.
"Was it shot down?"
If it were due to physical impact, that wouldn't be the worst situation.
The bloodlines of the Temple had defensive items that Go Yohan had given them knowingly or unknowingly, which activated automatically in emergencies to protect them.
Moreover, the Temple's followers were secretly protecting them.
But Go Yohan already had a hunch.
-No...
If it had been shot down, Greed wouldn't report it like this.
She would have already rescued them and delivered confirmation.
-All traces vanished. As if it never existed in this world.
Because even her abilities couldn't reach them, Greed was interrupting this family time.
Pssh.
Go Yohan's vision rippled, and Lee Ha-yeon appeared.
Like Go Yohan, her face, which tried not to show emotions, revealed a hint of urgency.
"As far as we've grasped so far, eight countries have assessed the situation and relayed the news. Ivan and others have cleared themselves of involvement in this incident."
Greed said.
"The Japanese side has been waiting to speak directly with the Captain since earlier."
There was no need to rush.
Go Yunsu himself was a powerful player, but the items protecting him and the followers were even more reliable.
If a problem had already arisen, moving immediately wouldn't help.
After that.
'It would just be thorough destruction.'
Go Yohan opened his closed eyes and said.
"Connect me."
Immediately, a blue screen appeared next to Greed.
It was a type of hologram magic she mainly used, which she had successfully itemized with Gluttony and was using experimentally, or so he'd heard.
-...It's an honor to speak with you.
The unfamiliar Japanese man couldn't hide his obvious tension as he spoke.
-Code Shiro response team leader...
Code Shiro.
It was the name Japan used for Go Yohan, as he had already been informed.
-I am Hayata Takemara.
She quickly hid her tension and spoke calmly.
"What happened?"
-Japan's government or factions have no relation whatsoever to the disappearance of Go's plane, and if our country is needed in this matter, we will fully cooperate.
It was clearly because of the recent Kisin Guild incident that they were stepping forward preemptively to be cautious.
"Is that all?"
Go Yohan asked.
-No.
And Hayata answered.
-We contacted you to share what we've grasped.
"What you've grasped? You mean tell me?"
-The circumstances where strange movements from the British Royal Family were detected before Go's return schedule.
"......"
-It's not certain yet, but it could serve as a clue, so we're sharing it at our discretion.
UK.
Go Yohan nodded.
"Thank you for your consideration."
-Please take care.
With that, the connection ended.
"Ivan and the Temple reports also had similar content. As if..."
Lee Ha-yeon said.
"They were searching for someone."
But they hadn't thought it related to Go Yunsu, so they didn't report it.
It was then.
"Is something wrong?"
Shin Sookyung cautiously came out of the orphanage and spoke to Go Yohan.
"......"
Seeing that, Go Yohan pondered briefly and said.
"I'm going to pick up Yunsu hyung."
"Oh, has it been that long already?"
"No. I'm going early."
Perhaps sensing something from Go Yohan's words.
"...Be careful out there."
Shin Sookyung left those words and returned to the orphanage to face the children.
"For now."
Go Yohan said.
"We need to move."
Go Yohan began to move.

Sloth—Yun Seungha—was in the last World Tree realm with Kim Sion.
For the plan to transfer the Magic Tower and World Tree, they were putting in all their effort, with no hasty way to return.
What they had labored over for so long could collapse in mere minutes.
Her space magic was convenient, but she had no choice but to yield now.
Thus, Go Yohan was walking through the Temple's underbelly, the shrine.
"The Sovereign Guild Master wishes to speak with you."
Lee Ha-yeon followed, managing dozens of reports and contacts even in that moment.
"Sovereign?"
"The guild under the Temple, based in the UK."
"Connect me."
As he walked, a screen appeared.
-...I see the Captain.
He seemed unable to hide his considerably trembling heart.
Even if under the Temple, not all were followers.
Moreover, those among them who had seen Go Yohan in person could be counted on one hand.
But one thing was certain.
-I am Sovereign Guild Master Edmund.
"I know you, Edmund."-......!
At that, Edmund's eyes widened round.
"I haven't personally seen everyone who works hard, but I always hear the news."
It was true.
He didn't remember the guild name Sovereign, but he remembered the name Edmund.
-...It's an honor.
"Since it's urgent, let's talk later."
-A few days ago, a key figure from the British Royal Family disappeared.
"......"
A hint.
-The Royal side secretly formed a tracking team to find that person. According to the latest from Royal...
Royal, the Royal Family guild, was one of those the Temple couldn't grasp.
Their loyalty to the British Royal Family was the reason, but they had to prove their loyalty in a special way, and once they joined Royal, they couldn't leave.
Go Yunsu, dispatched for the alliance, had only been active in Royal's sub-guild, not penetrating its depths.
-It's suspected they may have headed to Korea.
"......?"
Wait.
-We've confirmed they boarded the same plane that disappeared with Sir Go Yunsu.
In other words.
-There's suspicion that Sir Go Yunsu smuggled away that key figure.
"The target isn't Go Yunsu, but a key figure from the UK side?"
-It seems so. If you wish, I can arrange a connection with the Royal side.
Only one thing.
"You're saying Royal is involved in this incident? The ones who made the plane disappear?"
-We can be certain they're not. They're panicking too.
A third party.
And the target is a key Royal Family figure.
Then, there was one thing to say to Edmund.
"Tell them not to interfere no matter what I do. Otherwise..."
Go Yohan said.
"I'll deem the UK an enemy as well."
-I will relay it.
With that, the connection ended.
Afterward, key figures from various countries wanted calls with Go Yohan.
These national leaders had already gauged the power Go Yohan possessed to some extent and concluded his deep ties to the secret force Temple.
Moreover.
'Nukes.'
The nuclear missiles Russia handed to Shins.
Knowing they connected to Go Yohan made them even more on edge.
"Are preparations complete?"
At Go Yohan's words, Cheol Jung-bae nodded.
"Done."
Go Yunsu's plane disappeared in North Korean airspace.
Then, the place to go was clear.
Yun Seungha had always been with him for all spatial transfers.
Thus, the intelligence agencies' assessments were.
'The only one with space abilities is Sloth.'
Such reports existed.
Thus, in some ways, Sloth was assessed as higher risk than even Go Yohan.
That couldn't be.
He had to bear everything himself.
The demons' curses and the resulting sins.
The fear and resentment people would pour out.
That was what being the villain meant.
"Ha-yeon, you grasp the situation here. If there's solid evidence or a hint, you can move directly."
"Yes, Captain."
Nod.
Woooong!
As Go Yohan nodded, the shrine's mana began to stir.
Warp gates scattered in several places combined with the shrine's miraculous power.
Because of that.
Paaaaah!
Go Yohan could now go anywhere without Yun Seungha.
Flash!
The world flickered black.
When Go Yohan opened his eyes, he stood in a completely different scene.
A pitch-black city, sunken silence.
It was utterly different from the Korea he had known.
Isolated from the world by a barrier surrounding it, in a sense, an otherworld.
A acrid mana stabbed like needles.
Thud.
Go Yohan landed on the ground.
The moment he entered one of the forbidden zones that one generally couldn't or shouldn't step on.
No people were visible on the streets.
It was then.
Bang!
A bullet fired from somewhere targeted Go Yohan's head.
That was just the start.
Ratatatatatang!
Bullets sprayed like machine-gun fire rushed right up to Go Yohan in an instant.
Literally.
Swoosh.
Right up to his nose.
Normal bullets could work on low-level players, but beyond a certain level, they were useless.
Due to superhuman bodies and rising mana boosting defense.
And for players beyond that.
Plop plop.
They couldn't even touch him.
Dozens of bullets stopped in mid-air and fell to the ground.
