Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Although it was called the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp, it wasn’t really a carp that had lived for ten thousand years, but befitting its noble appearance, that red carp was incredibly strong.
It just met the wrong opponents…
It was indeed a strong being that could be considered more than worthy of S-rank, but it was far too much to handle all that ganging up alone.
It was a spiritual beast that even Flame Thousand Rivers alone could catch, but how could it withstand when S-rank superhumans including Flame Thousand Rivers ganged up on it?
Only EX-rank transcendents can handle this hopeless, overwhelming fatal gang attack by these S-ranks boasting overwhelming strength, those positioned at S-rank cannot handle it.
S-ranks are strong, but they are beings that have not yet surpassed their limits.
Anyway, not long after the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp and Dam Hanul’s group faced each other… the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp was miserably defeated.
[……Kuuuk…]
Its noble and beautiful appearance had long since disappeared, shattered and broken here and there, and its large body only increased the area to be attacked…
The carp, beaten almost half to death, was floating helplessly upside down on the water.
“Now then, I’ll cut it open~!”
Puk! Eujuk! Eujuk! Jjeoeok!!
Udeuk! Jjaak!!
And Cheon Ryuhwa, who approached the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp dragging a blood-soaked axe while smiling as if she didn’t feel sorry for the carp at all, roughly and mercilessly cut open the giant carp’s belly with her axe and extracted the inner core alive.
[……!!!]
Perhaps it really hurt, as the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp fainted with its eyes rolled back without even being able to scream out loud.
Hmm, looking at it this way, it does seem a bit pitiful… but well, it probably won’t die…
‘…It won’t die, right? It looks like it might die if left alone, hehe…’
Even though it’s called an inner core, it probably… won’t greatly affect its life, right? When you reach S-rank, your vitality is tremendous and your lifeline is extremely tough.
“It seems you don’t intend to kill it?”
“It’s enough to just take out the inner core.”
“Huh… You’re not going to cut open the belly of the goose that lays golden eggs? You’re looking quite far ahead.”
“…?”
…Does it look like I’m keeping this carp alive so I can come back later and take its inner core again??
‘But we’ve already cut open its belly in the first place…’
We don’t know if this carp will still be here when we come back later, or if it might die, or if another superhuman might come and hunt it, so why would we leave it alone thinking about such things!
Of course, from Ramsen Armund’s perspective, he thought that the owner of such a force might be able to secretly manage this place by dispatching personnel.
But if it looks like this, could it be that when we just took the pearl without killing the Ten Thousand Year Great Shell last time, it looked like that too?!
Wow… have I become a ruthless, evil superhuman…?
‘No, I had good intentions…’
Tsk, whatever. It’s not the first time I’ve been misunderstood.
Actually, if I have the title of owner of Korea’s underworld, maybe I am an evil person…??
Anyway, I didn’t immediately hand over the inner core that Cheon Ryuhwa brought over, smiling brightly while covered in blood, to Arin.
“Ahem, Mr. Flame Thousand Rivers? Could you come over here for a moment?”
“…Hmm? What business do you have?”
“You’ll know if you come.”
Instead of handing it over, I called Flame Thousand Rivers, Ramsen Armund, to the pond where the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp was floating unconsciously while holding the inner core.
Flame Thousand Rivers followed obediently, albeit puzzled by this mysterious call.
Of course, he went along obediently on the surface, but not inwardly.
‘Hmm, aiming to destroy evidence and deal with it here… probably not, but…’
There’s always the possibility.
He cooperated willingly, but that was because there was no reason to risk his life over one inner core by opposing this super-giant secret force right in front of him.
In the end, he did so because life was important, so although he cooperated, if they were to betray him, he had no intention of giving up his life.

With that thought, inwardly boiling his magic power ready to cause a ruckus and escape if anything happened, he approached the side of the one who seemed to be the leader of this group, and Ramsen heard words he could never have imagined.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Flame Thousand Rivers. Thanks to you, we were also able to easily obtain the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp’s inner core without much commotion.”
‘…What, was it just to express gratitude? Is he a better-natured type than I thought?’
“It’s nothing, I had no reason to oppose you from my position either. No need to worry about it. However, I would appreciate it if you could remember this Flame Thousand Rivers’ cooperative attitude.”
“Haha, of course we should do that much. But that’s not enough for just that, right? After all, you’ve given up such a precious inner core.”
“…Well, that’s true…”
It was an inner core he had tried to obtain through information bought from none other than the Witch Queen.
It would be painful if not obtaining it is painful.
But Flame Thousand Rivers wasn’t the type to cling to a lost inner core in this kind of situation.
He wasn’t the type who could be called generous even as a white lie, but he was a superhuman who had the decisiveness to give up without regret on things he couldn’t have.
However, even he couldn’t have imagined that such an ordinary quick abandonment based on profit and loss would return as such special favor.
“So… as a kind of compensation, I will tell you about a divine medicine that can replace the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp’s inner core.”
“What?? W-What did you just say?!”
He had given up without regret, but a divine medicine that works even at the S-rank level was indeed a precious item.
Of course, it wasn’t important enough to risk one’s life for… but that doesn’t mean it’s not precious.
Wasn’t this Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp’s inner core also something he had bought information for from the Witch Queen?
“To be more precise… I will tell you where there is a divine medicine that can replace this precious item.”
“You’ll give me the location of a divine medicine… for just this one cooperation??”
Are you going to just give away such a precious thing?? Just because I cooperated once without any price???
Flame Thousand Rivers was so confused that he didn’t know whether to be amazed at the information power of this unidentified force that was going to freely give out such information, or to be surprised at the personality and generosity of the man in front of him.
“Well, it was an important matter from our perspective too… and it’s not that big a deal.”
“…You’re saying that’s not a big deal??”
The moment he heard those words that seemed to treat it as insignificant, Flame Thousand Rivers’ mind was made up.
That it would be better not to antagonize these guys at all.
“Anyway… hold this inner core and put your hand into this pond.”
“Huh? You said you’d tell me the information, so why do I have to do this??”
“Well… because this is how I can tell you.”
As it was a situation that could be considered his area of expertise, Dam Hanul smiled confidently.
Although amateur, his amateur fortune-telling was an amazing fortune-telling that 100% always came true.
“I’m planning to do a fortune-telling to find out where there’s a divine medicine that will be effective when you use it, Flame Thousand Rivers.”
“Fortune-telling… you say??”
When he said he would do a fortune-telling, there was one thing that came to mind.
A kind of rumor floating around in the superhuman industry these days.
The story that ‘There exists a great fortune-teller who can easily give answers to any difficult problem, secret, or future, as easily as twisting a child’s wrist.’
Although he didn’t know about the information on the person who had gathered various S-rank superhumans including Akame and the Bullet’s Shooter, the rumor about the fortune-teller had been spreading continuously, little by little, for quite some time.
‘If it’s fortune-telling, could it be that this person…?!’
It was a rumor he had laughed off and dismissed, thinking how could there be someone who could do what even transcendents couldn’t do, and if there really was such a person, why hadn’t more rumors spread, but hearing the words of the man standing next to him today, that story came to mind.
This confident attitude of saying he’ll do a fortune-telling, and the powerful superhumans gathered around him.
In such an atmosphere where it was impossible to imagine that he was pulling a scam, Flame Thousand Rivers, though surprised, obediently followed his words as if entranced.
He received the inner core handed over by Dam Hanul and dipped his hand into the pond.
“Now then, with the feeling of inserting your ability into the pond through the inner core… apply just a little bit of power.”
“Hmm…”
Then, as the fortune-teller said, Flame Thousand Rivers slowly and weakly pushed his power through the inner core and spread it into the pond.
And at that moment, with a sensation as if his power had escaped his control, flames rose gently over the pond, flickering and burning.
Slowly covering the surface of the pond.
“This is…!!”
“There’s no need to be surprised. This is the path that will guide you to find a divine medicine that will work as well for you as the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp’s inner core.”
“Is this… what you mean…?”
Not even realizing that his speech had suddenly become polite, Flame Thousand Rivers asked as if entranced.
Although it was burning beautifully to the point where it was hard to believe it was the destructive flame he had summoned, how could this be a path…?
“I can’t read it at all…”
“Haha, reading that is my role. I’m the fortune-teller, right?”
However, he had no intention of bothering to explain further. There was a suitable item nearby anyway.
“Ah, could you give me that lantern for a moment?”
“Here it is.”
Dam Hanul took the lantern that Flame Thousand Rivers held out, which he said he had received from the Witch Queen as a guide, and then gently led and drew in the flames from the pond into the lantern.
Then the flame that was originally burning inside the lantern was covered by the flames from the pond and started burning anew.
“Huh… even though it’s just a lantern, that Witch Queen’s item…!”
“Using the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp’s inner core, which has good compatibility with Flame Thousand Rivers, as a medium to breathe in flames as pigment, and using this pond, which is the home of the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp full of yang energy, as a canvas, I saw the path to an inner core that has as good compatibility as this inner core. If you just follow the flames of that lantern like we came here, you’ll be able to obtain the divine medicine. It’s not too far away either. It’s within this Siberia. Ah, don’t worry, it’s not inside the demon realm!”
“You even considered the distance… I’m grateful for this.”
“It’s nothing.”
And then the flames that had been flickering on the surface of the pond were suddenly sucked into one place as if in a whirlpool.
At the same time, the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp, which had absorbed all the flames, regained consciousness and woke up.
‘And… not only did he just do a fortune-telling, but he even revived the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp… he’s a more frightening person than I thought.’
It was a moment when Flame Thousand Rivers’ thought that he should stick to this side became even more firm.
