Chapter 231: The Imjin War (3)
Roaaaar!
The Korean Peninsula surged westward, slicing through the water.
âNo way, is this even possible?â
Yeongwoo stood tall at the border between Yeongjongdo and Incheon Port, still unable to believe his eyes.
But it was clearly happening in real-time.
He could see the water continuously parting.
Like a giant ship, the entire landmass was sailing.
Therefore, somewhere north of the Korean Peninsula, it must be tearing away from the Chinese mainland.
Otherwise, there was no way Incheon could be moving toward China.
âThen Japan must be rushing toward us, too?â
If this tectonic shift was happening simultaneously, that must be the case.
The Korean Peninsula would join China across the Yellow Sea, and Japan would cross the East Sea to join the Korean PeninsulaâŠ
âThen what about places like Taiwan or the Philippines? And right below is Indonesia.â
Indonesia is a country made up of countless islands.
And thatâs not all.
Below Indonesia lies another continent: Australia.
Australia could logically push Indonesia out of the way and end up right below the Korean Peninsula, or move west to join Africa or India.
âThe map is going to be a total mess. Itâd be nice if we could see a world map to get a rough idea.â
Anyway, what was certain right now was that the west coast of the Korean Peninsula was heading toward the Chinese mainland.
And according to the conversation he had with his father earlier, the most likely region to border the western part of the Korean Peninsula was Shandong Province.
âThatâs where Jaham lives.â
Coincidentally, Shandong Province was also the territory of Jang Jaham, the only Chinese person Yeongwoo had a close relationship with.
Of course, given the current state of Sino-Korean relations, it was uncertain whether Jaham would welcome him.
Rooooar!
Yeongjongdo, now part of Incheon Port, continued to move westward, and it was only then that Yeongwoo realized.
âOh, it wonât connect immediately.â
Even the visible approach of Yeongjongdo took some time, so naturally, it would take a while to reach Shandong Province across the Yellow Sea.
âHow long will it take? 30 minutes? An hour?â
He couldnât know the exact speed of the Korean Peninsula, but it seemed like it would take quite some time to reach Shandong Province.
âHmm.â
So what should he do in the meantime?
âShould I move to the edge of Yeongjongdo? It will be the first to make contact with Shandong Province.â
Just as Yeongwoo was about to move Negwig inward on Yeongjongdo with this thought.
Tat-tat, tat!
From behind Yeongwoo, in the direction of Incheon Port, several swift presences approached.
âTheyâre coming.â
It was likely Incheonâs Strongest Swords.
Not wanting to start an internal conflict before meeting the Chinese, Yeongwoo deliberately did not draw his sword and turned around.
Just in time, he saw three men and women running toward him.
âHuh?â
âWhatâs that?â
âIs someone already here?â
As expected, the three were the Strongest swords from different parts of Incheon.
ăBupyeongâs Strongest Swordă
ăYeonsuâs Strongest Swordă
ăMichuholâs Strongest Swordă
âHow are they already gathered here? Were they preparing for this situation from the beginning?â
Yeongwoo wasnât very familiar with Incheonâs geography, but even he knew it was almost impossible for the Strongest Sword from three different districts to meet in such a short time by coincidence.
Even if they had rushed over upon hearing the clash between Yeongjongdo and Incheon Port, there was a regional distance to consider.
This meant that the three must have been staying nearby from the start.
âThey must have been preparing for this situation, too.â
After all, the Pangaea incident had been predicted since yesterday, and for a port city like Incheon, this phenomenon was practically another catastrophe.
It was only natural that they quickly gathered.
âYou all⊠were preparing for the Chinese invasion?â
Yeongwooâs chest swelled with a sense of camaraderie as he looked at the three Strongest Sword with eyes full of brotherhood.
The Bupyeong swordsman, who had been staring at Yeongwoo, tilted his head.
âMister.â
ââŠYes?â
âAre you the Joseonâs Strongest Sword? Joseon means⊠our countryâs bestâŠ?â
His tone was full of curiosity.
Apparently, the Bupyeong swordsmanâs image of the nationâs strongest swordsman was quite different from Yeongwooâs current appearance.
Well, Yeongwoo didnât look particularly battle-hardened, and his manner of speaking was quite refined.
Of course, he was two meters tall and his body was well-developed with muscles.
âIf itâs the Joseonâs Strongest Sword, isnât that right? Our country is Joseon.â
âDidnât you know? I figured it out as soon as I saw him on the horse. Finally, the king has arrived.â
âOh, really? I never thought Iâd see the Joseonâs Strongest Sword in my life.â
The three Strongest Swords chuckled.
They seemed completely unconcerned about the Chinese invasion Yeongwoo had mentioned.
âWhatâs with these guys?â
Yeongwoo finally realized the situation he was in.
The people in front of him were just brats with brute strength.
In fact, Bupyeong looked to be in his early twenties at most, and Yeonsu and Michuhol appeared to be in their late teens or just twenty.
âOf course, being young doesnât mean they lack sense, but when you add tattoos, the story can change.â

Yeongwoo noticed the intricate tattoos on Bupyeongâs ankles and calves a bit late, realizing that while preconceptions arenât always correct, they often are.
âThereâs a coalition in Incheon, right? I assume thereâs a reason you were all gathered here⊠When will the coalition leader arrive?â
Yeongwoo asked this to find someone he could reasonably talk to, and Bupyeong, as if reading his mind, asked back.
âWhy? You think you canât talk to kids?â
ââŠâŠ!â
This guy had an uncanny sense.
âYes. Thatâs part of it, but talking to the decision-maker would speed things up.â
When Yeongwoo said this, Bupyeong grinned and looked around.
âHonestly, I have no idea. Does Joseonâs Strongest Sword really mean the best in the whole country?â
âUm⊠well.â
How should he explain that itâs actually a title from North Korea without causing any misunderstandings?
After thinking for a moment, Yeongwoo simply nodded.
âYes, it means something similar. It means Iâm very strong.â
âOhâŠ?â
At Yeongwooâs affirmation, Bupyeongâs gaze changed noticeably.
Then, with a sly look, he narrowed his eyes again.
âBut how do you know? That youâre really the best in the country.â
ââŠâŠ?â
âWeâve never seen you before. So youâre not really the best in the âwholeâ country, right?â đ»đâŻđŠđžđđđđđżđŠđ.đđđ¶
âAh.â
Understanding his point, Yeongwoo couldnât help but chuckle.
He meant that Yeongwoo couldnât claim to be the best in the country without having fought anyone from Incheon.
âSeriously, even after seeing Negwig and the Golden Trail, theyâre not intimidated?â
It was an attitude Yeongwoo couldnât understand, but it was still a form of courage.
âYes⊠correction. Iâm not the best in the country yet.â
âYet?â
Predictably, Bupyeong seized on that word immediately.
It seemed he was eager to fight right away.
Yeongwoo, who might have drawn his sword in his younger days, restrained himself.
âWe might have to fight the Chinese soon, so why are you trying to pick a fight with someone from the same country?â
He managed to pull off a mature remark, restraining his hotheaded nature.
Bupyeong gave an irrefutable reason.
âDamn it, look at yourself. You look like youâre begging for a fight.â
âHuhâŠ?â
Yeongwoo followed his gaze and looked at himself.
Shirtless, tattoos on his shoulders, a spiral flame tattoo on his chest.
And the new Dogo product, âCosmic Etiquette,â resting on his bare shoulder.
Not to mention the flying golden sword and the iron horse from another world adding the final touch.
âOh, Iâm the real Incheon guy here!â
Tattoos, check.
Yeongwoo07.
In fact, even more tattoos, rougher and densely packed, were hidden under his pants.
In terms of tattoo quantity, Yeongwoo might outdo Bupyeong by a couple of levels.
âOh, Iâm sorry. I tend to draw attention.â
Yeongwoo sincerely apologized and bowed his head, prompting Michuhol, who had been glaring at him sharply, to nod and add.
âItâs not that we donât like you, mister. Itâs just that around here, if a weakling has a title, they donât get any respect.â
ââŠ?â
With that, Yeongwooâs apologetic demeanor disappeared.
âHow do you know Iâm a weakling?â
From the very first day of the reset, Yeongwoo had been surrounded and slapped by people.
For him, being called a âweaklingâ was practically a trigger.
âWell⊠youâve been acting like one this whole timeâŠ.â
Just as Michuhol shrugged with a nonchalant expression, the shirtless tattooed man suddenly pulled a gun from his waist.
Swoosh!
âWhoa?â
âThis damn lunatic!â
The atmosphere heated up instantly.
And in that moment, Yeongwoo was pointing the âgunâ at the three Strongest Sword in turn.
ăEvil Meteră- Mythological Tool
ăYou can see the targetâs level of evil deeds.ă
ă20% increased reduction of evil deeds due to good deedsă
But the problem wasâŠ
âWhat the⊠theyâre actually pretty good guys.â
The evil deed levels of the three Strongest Sword were only around 200 to 300.
Michuholâs level was even as low as 12.
âHey, mister? Calm down, we get it.â
Bupyeong waved his arms slowly, his face pale.
Although he was known for his aggressiveness in Incheon, faced with a madman who had appeared out of nowhere on a horse wielding a gun, he couldnât help but become the most reasonable person.
âWeâre sorry, we apologize.â
Michuhol, who had provoked Yeongwoo with problematic words, also bowed his head in a very careful apology, and even Yeonsu, who had the lowest evil deed level, was wiping cold sweat while trying to placate him.
âIf we offended you, we apologize. We just talk tough⊠weâre not actually that bad.â
Of course, Yeongwoo believed Yeonsuâs words.
The evil deed levels were indirect evidence.
So just as Yeongwoo was about to lower the gun.
-Bzzzz!
Suddenly, the Evil Deeds Meter vibrated faintly, and a harsh voice boomed from a distance.
âYou damn weakling, using a gun like a coward?â
ââŠ!â
Yeongwoo, with his eyes full of whites, demanded an explanation from Bupyeong, who responded in a trembling voice.
âItâs⊠itâs the Incheon coalition leader. Heâs a bit of a bad guy.â
