Chapter 540 – Shouting Miracles Over There
Really, out of the blue, just one word from Pee-s.
With that, a heavy silence settles in this place.
Finally, everyone behaves as if this is an appropriate atmosphere for a funeral hall.
With bewildered expressions, someone mumbles a question.
“…..God…?”
[That’s right.]
Pee-s casually answers the question.
Moreover, to add a bit more credibility to the mention of God,
Or perhaps to completely erase the doubts in the eyes of many.
Pee-s raises a large piece of art filled with an ethereal background behind her.
[Did you see?]
“…….”
It’s a bizarre and breathtaking sight unseen by anyone in this world.
Standing there with that background, Pee-s really looks like a God.
An even more profound and heavy silence blankets the area.
Yet that silence is still filled with doubt.
‘Looks like they don’t believe at all.’
[Isn’t this a natural attitude in a world where Hunters are rampaging?]
They probably found it hard to easily accept what they see.
Certainly, there are Ability Users, and this world is filled with Hunters swindling using their powers.
Just this one spectacle isn’t enough to shake people’s hearts.
[Since it seems they don’t believe, I’ll show you a miracle.]
As if she saw through their psychology, Pee-s gives a slight smile.
Then she approaches me and gently covers my face with both hands.
My swollen face from being beaten up by heroines still isn’t quite healed.
“What are you doing?”
[You’ll find out.]
And just a few seconds after Pee-s removes her hands.
“Uh…? Oh…?! Is this really…?!”
[Are you starting to believe a little now?]
Suddenly, my face appears completely uninjured and pristine.
It’s an occurrence that can’t be explained at all unless it was done by a God.
Moreover, Pee-s blatantly shows that she’s touching my face.
To prove that this isn’t an illusion but reality.
“Ah, fck. You poked my eye.”
[……I’m sorry.]
What follows is.
“W-wait! Was it really a God?!”
“What the hell was that?!”
“Did you really save Shinwoo the Hunter with that?!”
A barrage of questions from reporters.
“Surely my face was in such bad shape it couldn’t be fixed!”
“It wasn’t that bad, you btch*.”
An overwhelming number of questions were pouring in that Pee-s could hardly handle alone.
I was slightly worried they might all be crushed by the questions.
But instead of answering, Pee-s quietly smiles.
As the barrage of questions continued without any responses from Pee-s, they gradually began to dwindle.
Once they calmed down a bit, Pee-s softly spoke.
[As you can see, this is how I saved Shinwoo.]
At that moment, reporters briefly wiped away their suspicions.
They moved their recording devices closer and started hastily taking notes.
From their point of view, they probably thought they had snagged a scoop.
“What exactly was that…?”
[It is the power of a God.]
The unique spatial characteristic of a funeral hall, where life and death intertwine, probably contributed to this.
It seems like I’ve somewhat grasped the atmosphere.
Now, while pondering how to get to the main point,
A voice suddenly denies everything happening.
“That’s a lie!”
[Why do you say that?]
The source of that voice was none other than the Hunters.
“It’s obvious it’s just an illusion!”
“You both plotted this, right? The one who gets fooled is the real idiot! ”
“That harmful species definitely did something!”
Unlike others, they didn’t shy away from skepticism at all.
“That’s healing power, right? I know all about it!”
“It wasn’t even that serious of an injury!”
“Without using any powers, just spitting on it would heal it!”
Shocking statements came out of Hunters who were usually not that bright.
Of course, the speed and effect couldn’t be matched with a mere healing ability.
Yet they currently regard this as just healing power.
Particularly, one male Hunter approached Pee-s and confronted her.
“Isn’t it shameful to con using healing powers?”
[You think this is just healing power?]
“Yeah! It’s probably just a better healing power!”
Even having seen it with their own eyes, the disbelief was truly Hunter-like.
[That’s your stance, huh?]
“Honestly, how much did I make selling that?”
The fact that he confidently admits to conning others really adds to his idiot cred.
With his hands on his hips, the male Hunter maintains a defiant attitude.
It seems that no matter what Pee-s says, he intends to refute it until the end.
At that moment, Pee-s swiftly reached out to the Hunter.
– Whoosh!!!!
“AAAHHH!!!”
She suddenly yanked out the Hunter‘s hair aggressively.
Whether it was a lack of strength in the roots or Pee-s’ surprising strength,
The male’s hair filled Pee-s’ hand.
Thanks to that, the male Hunter openly showed animosity toward Pee-s.
“Y-you crazy b*tch!!!”
[Do you think you can put this back with your healing powers?]
Regardless, Pee-s simply sneered at him.
In fact, Pee-s nonchalantly dropped the hair she held onto the ground.
Gritting it underfoot until it was at an unfixable level.
Naturally, his angry voice rose higher than before.
“How can I put that back?! Of course, I can’t!!!”
[Then watch this.]
“What are you showing me, you btch*-”
But as soon as Pee-s stroked his head from left to right,
His words were abruptly cut off, ending incompletely.
Because of that.
“…….Huh…?”
[Now I can show that I can do it.]
Before long, his hair returned to the same state as when Pee-s confronted him.
Even if it’s termed a healing ability, it’s impossible to call it omnipotent.
If it could fix baldness, there wouldn’t be so many bald people in this world.
After all, treating baldness is like reviving dead roots.
Meanwhile, the Hunter, as if in disbelief, touched where his hair had vanished.
“…….R-really…my hair…”
[This is the power of a God.]
Doubts dissipated from his eyes, replaced by a budding sense of reverence.
[Now are you starting to believe?]
“……Oh, God…”
He deeply bowed his head to Pee-s who stood confidently with her arms crossed.
Witnessing this, the other Hunters began to look alarmed.
Perhaps it was because of the miracle bestowed upon this Hunter, who seemed unrelated to us.
But more importantly, the fact that this Hunter, having experienced that miracle, bowed his head.
It’s actually much more shocking than the miracle itself.
A Hunter with a rebellious spirit has now spontaneously lowered his head out of respect?
That’s a premise that couldn’t possibly exist or come into being in this world.
Unless you see it yourself, the idea of it is laughable.
It’s far more believable for a dog to sing at a wedding.
Or for the Nobelpia server not to crash.
Just then, I felt the curious eyes of my party members directed at me.
When everyone else’s gaze focused entirely on Pee-s,
I silently mouthed to answer their curious looks.
At least, to trust me and follow along.
Then, my party members mimicked me as they all knelt on one knee before Pee-s.
Closing their eyes and slightly bowing their heads as if to show respect.
Even though it wasn’t the answer they wanted, they followed my lead without hesitation.
As expected, thankfully, they were quick on the uptake.
[Things are progressing well.]
‘Right?’
Thanks to that, the awe of the Hunters escalated to the level of shock.
Not only did they find it unbelievable that a Hunter would act voluntarily.
But even the people currently showing their respect weren’t ordinary either.
Top-tier Hunters like Cheonma, Red Dragon, the Magical Girl, and even Hyeji.
One by one, Hunters watching this began to kneel alongside us.
Whether they were overwhelmed by the spectacle or a newfound faith awakened within them.
Regardless, they were showing respect, which was something Hunters typically wouldn’t do.
“Your name is Pee-s, right?”
[It’s Peace, you dog.]
“Oh, yes! Sorry about that!”
Naturally, their identity as Hunters remained intact.
And perhaps trying to be more faithful to that identity,
Soon, many Hunters began approaching Pee-s.
It was purely personal desires that were unmistakable.
“P-please let me win the lottery!”
“Please fix my hair too!”
“C-can you do something about my face…?”
“Please, save our server! I beg you!”
Once again, it hit me how deeply entrenched they were as Hunters.
Their wishes were excessively sticky.
And their desires came through as urgent requests.
Of course, Pee-s had only one thing to say about that.
[No.]
“W-why not?”
As she declared it impossible,
Some resentment began to creep into the gazes directed at Pee-s.
With her face now devoid of laughter, she began to whisper coldly.
[You must pay a price.]
And that single cold sentence was far more chilling than her current demeanor.
