Damned 13th Regression – 148
by Jessie@AFNCC
<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 148>
What a beautiful world.(1)
The murderer is ahead.
He swung a hammer to crush people like dough and easily crushed people by kicking them with his feet.
The murderer was laughing.
What is so enjoyable?
What is it that makes me so angry?
‘Morpheus.’
Sigmund called his avatar ‘Morpheus God of Dreams’.
His unconsciousness of killing people while laughing was caught.
“Please save me…”
“I said I couldn’t do it.”
The last remaining survivor.
The shaft of the hammer stuck in his chest broke his collarbone and came out.
“If I want to save the world you have to die here.”
The identity of the animus the other side of Joo Gong-hyuk and they have discovered secrets that are too important to survive.
After finishing the work Joo Gong-hyeok turned around.
“What are you doing again? Are you looking into people’s hearts?”
He approaches with a mask-like smile.
“What do I look like this time?”
“It’s like rags.”
Sigmund could see the unconsciousness and soul form that overlapped with Joo Gong-hyeok.
Fresh blood flows from every pore on the evil dog’s face and its body is full of sores and stitching marks. Sand dust fell on the limbs that were cracked like a stone statue.
“My self-consciousness and desire explode and my soul becomes very enlarged. But it’s not just about its size. “It may be old but it’s true on the inside with life experience and unwavering self-confidence.”
He looked carefully into Joo Gong-hyeok’s soul.
“The engraved wounds and trauma are also the oldest traces of wounds I have seen. “It’s a trauma that seems to be 1200 years old.”

Sigmund’s emotionless eyes narrowed slightly.
“There is no way in this world there is a hunter who has been around for 200 years. Is this something from the future? Like ‘them’?”
“No it’s completely different. These guys are complainers from a future that someone made nice. And I…”
He brushed the blood off his mask.
“I am an ‘avenger’ born in a world that someone destroyed. “An avenger has a duty.”
“duty?”
“It’s simple. 세상을 멸망시킨 개새끼를 조져 버리는 거야.”
Sigmund realized something and nodded.
“indeed. “Is that ‘bastard’ the entity called me?”
“okay. “Sigmund.”
Gonghyeok Joo aimed the Gauss pistol at Sigmund.
“너는 세상을 멸망시킨 개새끼다. I am the most powerful and dangerous kind of one of those who have destroyed. ”
It was a pretty dangerous story to hear whether it was a devil or an angel.
However the blackout of ‘Mr. Sijo’ has already been spread around.
Sigmund asked looking straight at the gun that was about to blow his head off.
“Are we wrong?”
“It’s wrong.”
“I dreamed of a utopia where everyone would be satisfied.”
“It looks shiny on the outside. “At least it’s not a place where people can live as humans.”
Clap-
After putting the pistol in his inventory Joo Gong-hyeok approached him.
“Now read it. “I will hand over the consciousness.”
Joo Gong-hyeok naturally held out his hand.
The mental barrier and resistance were broken.
With this level of defenselessness Sigmund could have turned Joo Gong-hyeok into a puppet if he wanted to.
“How can you trust me?”
Joo Gong-hyeok answered his innocent question with a worn smile.
“This isn’t the first time. “You’ll understand when you read it right?”
“If you read it you will know it is true.”
He took Joo Gong-hyeok’s hand without delay.
Joo Gong-hyeok’s spiritual body and Sigmund’s avatar were connected and the information contained in his soul was relayed one by one.
Sigmund found the category most relevant to him and read it.
In the corner of the category labeled ‘Fifth Life’ in the subconscious ‘What a Beautiful World’ was engraved.
“What a beautiful world.”
Joo Gong-hyeok’s memories unfolded vividly to him.

War has disappeared from the world.

The quarrels and hatred disappeared.
Envy jealousy pride and all the unclean things have disappeared.
finally······. The ‘horse’ has disappeared.
That is this world.
Gonghyuk Joo was sitting on a bench in downtown New York.
“hmm.”
I put my hand in my pocket to smoke a cigarette.
But instead of cigarettes only dust particles come out.
A person passes in front of a bench.
The streets are filled with nothing but the sound of low footsteps.
New York’s Times Square is extremely leisurely.
‘The whole world will be just as quiet as here.’
Food and clothing can be freely taken from the displayed shelves.
Do not talk to others or make eye contact.
Words have disappeared from the world.
The human world is filled with silence and silence with no one communicating.
Everyone has the same look in their eyes.
A-000Q3A5
A number consisting of hexadecimal notation.
That was Joo Gong-hyuk’s new name.
Joo Gong-hyeok became a member of the ‘collective consciousness’.
Although my sense of self has been completely obscured by being buried in the minds of billions of people…
‘Go back.’
He woke up from his consciousness thanks to a voice ringing fiercely in his ears.
“Is this also destroyed in the end?”
The entire human race was swallowed up by Sigmund’s new avatar.
His power united all of humanity to save the world but the cost was too great.
Humanity has lost the conditions to be called humanity.
Kwaaaaaa──
Raise your head.
Dozens of firetails left traces in the sky.
A ship that spreads the seeds of humanity into space.
It was humanity’s 21st seeding ship heading to Europa Jupiter’s moon.
The seeding ships are loaded with thousands of hunters to help with terraforming.
“You ate it.”
Sigmund’s original consciousness has long since melted away.
Humanity has lost its individuality and all that remains is the function to efficiently survive as a species.
Joo Gong-hyuk moved to his seat.
I pass the dusty coffee shop and enter the convenience store.
The cigarettes on the shelves have long since been removed by ‘humanity’.
Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clink
When I open the cash register I find an old cigarette.
It looked like something the cashier had forgotten to drop.
“You’re lucky.”
I lit a cigarette and burned off the confusion.
“I did something stupid.”
Joo Gong-hyeok’s fourth regression his fifth life was mortgaged to Sigmund.
He gathered his mind which seemed to be about to break and climbed up the floor with Hayeonsi.
It was a time when Joo Gong-hyeok the fifth could not have imagined that Hayeon City would be destroyed.
It was a time when I didn’t enjoy enough money or power to get punished by Soma.
Joo Gong-hyeok who had saved the Earth only once was ambitious and confident.
And that spirit led to mistakes.
“Gonghyuk your clothes are getting dirty.”
“Is that algebra sir?”
“I didn’t want to show you the pain and suffering. “It’s a little difficult.”
Christina half melted died in Gonghyeok’s arms.
It was the work of Marcus a traitor from Deus who colluded with the Gishin tribe.
‘I knew I would betray you someday. but······.’
Every time Christina fell into a trap Sigmund threw himself and died in her place.
In the last return he used Marcus’s trap to take control of two entire cities and in the previous return he even killed the Four Heavenly Kings Heydrich and saved the world.
No matter how much he jumped he thought it was out of his control but that was the thinking of a fool who had not even completed his 100th year with the barbell.
This time Sigmund survived and Christina died.
‘I should have gone to Argos the surveillance avatar. shit!’
Mother’s fifth death.
Now Joo Gong-hyuk swallowed the diluted sadness and resentment that was different from the first time and stood up.
The ‘God of Destruction Shiva’ left behind by Christina was engraved on the avatar box.
“Marcus.”
Sigmund held up Marcus’ severed head.
Marcus’ face which had been demonized and had two horns growing out was full of resentment and anger.
“Marcus. “You tried to fill your lack of self-esteem through your mother.”
Marcus thought of his mother as a savior predicted by God and considered himself an apostle who followed her.
He considered her heroic actions and achievements his own and identified himself with her.
“After all Christina was a different human being than you. “You could only fill the empty space that was suddenly empty with anger and hatred.”
At first glance the tone was full of sympathy but the actions were not.
He threw away Marcus’ head and knelt in front of Christina’s remains.
“Mother Christina. After all humans are fleeting weak and foolish. “You said that’s the natural way a person should be.”
He stroked the bony remains’ hand.
“People are naturally angry hurt and hateful… Reconcile love and laugh. “You accepted weakness and strength pity and hatred and showed only the most beautiful side of yourself as an ‘individual.’”
Joo Gong-hyuk watched him talk to himself from the side.
GM was sending a signal that ‘a new avatar is emerging.’
“You were so beautiful as a ‘human being’ that I couldn’t abandon the person I am.”
As he finished speaking he let go of Yu Yu’s hand.
“Joo Gong-hyuk have you ever thought about it? “Why do humans fight each other?”
Sigmund originally had the aura of a machine lacking emotions.
However now he felt an emptiness that had completely uprooted his personal emotions.
“well. “Because humans exist?”
“That could also be one answer.”
Sigmund turned and disappeared without giving his answer.
As Christina died and the 60th floor was reached the battle became more intense.
“Oppa I can’t fight anymore.”
“okay. Get some rest. “Edgar and I can cover a few floors above.”
“No I’ll be right back. “When you go to Ilibatus these days everyone comes with a lot of energy.”
People who were tired of fighting and whose heads were exhausted from stress were everywhere.
Those people including Ha Yeon-si were sent to the rear clinic.
Illivatus Clinic managed by ‘Animus’ a person with mental abilities.
Anyone who went there returned to the front in a few days.
However Joo Gong-hyeok felt a strange sense of discomfort when he saw Ha Yeon-si return.
Even if you kill someone.
“I’m fine. “Oppa.”
Hayeonsi smiled without a trace.
Even if your abdomen and spine are blown away.
“I’m fine. “Oppa.”
She laughed without any sign of pain.
And even at the point of death.
“We are fine. “Oppa.”
He died with a smile on his face as if he had lived a perfect life with no regrets.
Joo Gong-hyuk felt goosebumps running down his spine.
It was truly a ‘fear of the unknown’ that I felt for the first time in decades.
Before he knew it his surroundings were filled with such people.
He fights well and always has a happy and gentle expression but he gives me creepy goosebumps.
Beings that mimic humans but are somehow different.
Quaaaang!
Joo Gong-hyeok broke the ceiling of the clinic and came down.
“What have you done?”
Joo Gong-hyeok grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
Sigmund answered unfazed.
“It filled the missing part of humanity.”
“What is missing?”
“Joo Gong-hyuk are you happy?”
“what?”
Joo Gong-hyeok was dumbfounded by the endless questions.
“People live to be happy. In order to be satisfied we take from others oppress others and get drunk on victory. However even if such temporary satisfaction is achieved humans are bound to become unhappy again in the end.”
“Is that so?”
As I twisted the hand holding his collar Sigmund’s neck was bent into an L shape like a doll.
But his mouth didn’t stop.
“No matter how much we pursue happiness humans quickly feel thirsty. “You try to fill what you are missing but there is no way to fill it forever.”
“….”
“What is happiness? living? money? peace? freedom? romantic relationship? friendship? “Are you happy that you had all that?”
Sparks fly in my head.
Joo Gong-hyeok realized that he had read his past.
