The next morning, all of South Korea was shaken by breaking news. The prophecy of Yoon Chansu, the renowned Hunter Seer who had accurately predicted countless major events, appeared on every news outlet.
"A Rank SS Gate is about to open in the heart of Seoul—and it will collapse immediately!"
The prophecy spread fear everywhere. A collapsing gate meant uncontrollable disaster. High-level monsters would pour out with no one capable of stopping them, and Seoul could very well become a deserted city.
The main Hunter Association center convened an emergency meeting to figure out how to respond. SSS-ranked Hunters from across the nation were called back to Seoul, preparing for a battle that might be unwinnable.
Kim Hyunwoo, one of the strongest SSS-ranked Hunters, stood in the command room with a serious expression.
"What should we do, Vice-Chief? If the gate collapses, there's no way we can stop SS-level monsters," he said.
Kim Jihoon, the Vice-Chief who had previously been pranked almost to insanity by Asher, looked at the map of Seoul with deep worry.
"Our only choice is to destroy the gate before it collapses."
"But… who can destroy an SS-rank Gate!?" another Hunter objected.
The room was filled with tension and despair. No one present could even attempt such a feat.
Meanwhile, Asher sat at home, watching the news on his television, a smirk forming on his lips.
"An SS-rank Gate… and a prophecy, huh?"
He could sense the colossal energy forming at the location predicted by the Seer. He knew full well that an SS-rank Gate was far beyond what any Hunter could handle.
"It's just a gate… how difficult could it be?" Asher muttered to himself.
He thought of the skill he had created just a few days ago—"Deadly Fart"—a skill capable of destroying anything in the universe.
Asher felt no worry whatsoever. No matter how many SS-level monsters spilled out if the gate collapsed, he could deal with them effortlessly.
"Finally… the real fun is about to begin."
He stood up and walked to his bedroom window, gazing out over Seoul's sky filled with tension and anxiety. A satisfied smile curved his lips.
He was the Creator God, and soon, he would show everyone what true power looked like.
