[A few minutes ago]
Having himself healed up has allowed the chairman of the Korean Hunter Association to work overtime.
Don't misunderstand; he isn't a workaholic on general occasions, but right now, his people need him.
A massive gate appeared above Seoul. This one was larger than the last time, and for some reason, it was giving a very bright illumination, almost too bright for a dungeon gate.
One might consider such light as a sign of God and blessing, but years of experience have taught the man that nothing good comes out of that gateway regardless of its shade or level.
And this one was beyond any comprehension.

Suddenly, the door of the office room was pushed open from the other side. Gun-Hee found the surveillance chief entering with panic written on his face.
"Bad news!" He exclaimed, "Several high-ranking dungeons have spawned all across Korea. Not even one of them is below B-rank! And the most horrifying part, the monsters are jumping out of the dungeons already!"
"----!" Go Gun-Hee's eyes widened in alarm before he hurriedly asked, "Have you sent reinforcement?"
The orange-haired nodded, "I have sent all of the officers who can fight to those sites and also have contacted the guild masters across the nation to engage immediately!"
Go Gun-Hee stood up, "How many are we expecting this time?" The Chairman asked; considering the last time it was over three hundred during the first wave, Go Gun-Hee somehow expected it to be around that count.
However, "M-More than a thousand have already appeared…"
The older one clenched his fist…this was bad. Because the dungeon's appearance has lessened in the months after that massive gate was taken down, people have become more lenient towards danger and dungeons.
Naturally at this hour, on a weekend no less, the amount of public on roads would be more than in thousands and evacuating them would take a lot of time and manpower.
"Where is-" Go Gun-Hee paused instantly as he felt the ground rumbling.
Jin-Chul's eyes parted wide as he gazed at the gate outside the window.
"Sir…t-that…'
Go Gun-Hee's eyes also were at their farthest point as he stared at the scene unfolding before his ageing eyes.
"A god has descended…."

"Miss Cha! Come to Yongsan station!" Saying so, Choi Jong-In disconnected the call as he paced down the street.
He has already told his guild members to prioritize evacuating people out of the danger zone. The monsters have breached the barrier of the dungeons which would have kept them away for at least a week.
'This is absurd…' Choi Jong-In blasted away the mutt which was advancing at him at a threatening pace.
However, a simple fireball did not inflict much damage, allowing the monster to continue with its strides.
The redhead brought his hand above his head and summoned a flame trap above the place where the beast was approaching.
With a swift slash, the trap fell on the beast, burning its skin and bringing a pause to its movements finally.
Fixing his glasses, Choi Jong-In found himself sweating upon noticing the horde of mutts approaching him. Their sharp canines and bloodthirsty eyes made it obvious that they were out hunting.
'This can get nasty….'

On the other side, Bark Yoon-Ho, along with Ma Dong-Woo, could be seen fighting against several golems with their bare hands.
Baek Yoon-Ho was already in his beast form, which describes why he hadn't received many grave wounds, unlike Ma Dong-Wook, who was already pretty beaten up.
"Haaaa!" With a loud yell, the black-haired martial artist slammed his palm against the golem's chest, throwing it away and crashing into a nearby wall before the golem lost its vitality.
Ma Dong-Woo's body was covered in smoke and blood could be seen pouring down from several corners of his body after the exchange.
*Slink*
Baek Yoon-Ho also finished the golem with several sharp slashes that travelled at a pace which normal humans couldn't even trace.
"Can you continue?" While their guild members could be seen currently taking away citizens to safety, Baek Yoon-Ho asked his fellow hunter.
The black-haired giant thumped his fist on his chest and responded, "Ho!"
However, despite the fact that both hunters looked ready to go for another round, given the number of monsters advancing towards them, it was nearly impossible for them to see the sun of another day.
'I guess I should have finished that sandwich before leaving…'

"Divide and rule is it…" Haru mused.
He could see what they had done. Releasing all their forces so Jin-Woo and Haru couldn't fight the Almighty One together.
'Have they already sensed my restriction on the Outer Gods?' There was no doubt that the Monarchs were aware of the presence of those beings who were possibly stronger than the Absolute One. And maybe because Haru had restricted their entry into this universe, they decided to release every single weapon they have in their arsenal ?
Or maybe this was their plan from the beginning?
"An all out war this is…" While standing atop the building Jin-Woo released his shadows to reach as many people as they could while almost half of the shadow soldiers went to butcher the dungeon dwellers.
Haru didn't have any skill of cloning so he couldn't help his Sunbae in this field. However, what he can do is to deal with the guy who has begun to show its presence to the world.
Haru looked at those massive feet descending from the sky.
The presence of the Absolute One was greater than that of Monarch of Destruction and the appearance of that being was surely going to deal a great deal of mental damage on the people.
Jin-Woo thought for a moment before saying, "They won't be able to rescue all the citizens away in time. The landing zone is quite vast."
Haru got up on his feet and cracked his knuckles. There was a grin on his face as he looked at those massive feet of the Absolute One.
"Haru…?" Jin-Woo asked, in slight concern. Somehow he could sense what his junior was about to do.
"I will give you some time Sunbae."
Saying so Haru warped away and when Jin-Woo looked at the dungeon gate, he could see the small figure of the familiar teenager currently levitating beneath the Absolute Being.
'Is he going to…lift that being?'

A/N:- Thanks for waiting. The first week of the next month, I will possibly be done with the story by then. I have recently watched four seasons of MHA and am considering writing a serious fanfic on it. Any suggestions?
