[Oh well. I guess that's why you have such an impossible goal…]

'Cut the nonsense. What should we do now?'

Jaehwan went up to Runald and picked him up. He was able to see through it instinctively — the peace around the auction house was only temporary. He was in the eye of the storm right now.

'I used too much world power too.'

Unlike [Fall], [Naked] didn't allow Jaehwan to recover his world power. He didn't kill any Vicegerents, so he couldn't absorb their world powers. Fortunately, the Vicegerents of the middle-ranking G.o.ds were backing away due to the shock from the previous fight, but the Vicegerents of the high-ranking G.o.ds were different.

They realized that Jaehwan's world power was waning. If given a chance, they would jump on Jaehwan.

Jaehwan made a decision. It was the best choice he could make at the moment. His body quickly moved toward where the largest world powers were moving about.

"Hey, you should help me."

Myad and X were still fighting against each other. Myad smiled and answered, "Hmm. You really do get powerful quickly."

"…"

"A Setting that destroys other Settings… and a Setting that destroys Parts? There will be no other like you throughout the entire ."

Myad spoke casually even though he was intensely fighting X.

"…Drop the flattery."

"Oh, yeah. But as you can see, I'm in quite of a pinch myself."

"Don't lie. You're not using any power yet."

"Oops- you knew?"

As his world power increased, Jaehwan saw Myad in a new light. He first thought that he could fight Myad on equal grounds, but it changed his mind. Myad had much more power than he realized at first. He was the leader of the 3rd World Federation after all. If Myad were to act, there was no way the Vicegerents and high-ranking G.o.ds would object.

"…But I'm not lying. He's really something."

Jaehwan then turned to X who was fighting against Myad. Myad wasn't wrong. In terms of 'world power rating', X was unleas.h.i.+ng about 150 thousand world power from his body. It was much higher than any high-ranking G.o.d Vicegerents who were eyeing Jaehwan from nearby.

'And there are some monsters that I can't see through either.'

Jaehwan also knew of a few who were watching over everything. Those were the beings that Jaehwan could barely just feel that they existed.

[You should run. Let's not stay here.]

Andersen came to a conclusion. Jaehwan was also thinking of running away. What was happening in the auction house didn't matter to him anyway.

[Didn't Reinholdt's Long Coat have a [High Speed Flying] Setting? You should run away with that. No Vicegerents will be able to follow you if you use that Setting.]

Jaehwan had already picked up the coat, just in case.

[What are you doing? We don't have time to waste. Go!]

Jaehwan knew this already as he had already felt the Vicegerents closing in on him. However, before he ran, there was one thing he wanted to find out. He turned to Myad and asked, "Myad, it's you who put that Machina on the auction, right?"
