Damned 13th Regression – 152
by Jessie@AFNCC
<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 152>
“You dismantled Deus and handed it over to someone else.”
“You can’t do that! “Christina!”
“You mean you can’t do that?”
Christina turned to the executives.
“If not why? everyone.”
The executives could not easily answer.
Handing over Deus to Joo Gong-hyeok?
That meant that Deus would be placed under the Company Federation.
Naturally the executives who were proud of their membership in Deus had no choice but to oppose.
Ben-Hur who had followed her even before entering Babel opened his mouth.
“You remember how Mother Deus was established right? “We are humanity’s first indigenous city and have led the frontline raids for the past several decades.”
“Yes Ben-Hur. You are right. And it’s only about 20 years ago.”
She said calmly.
“What we have achieved over the past decades is not a rigid tradition. It’s good to be proud of what you’ve accomplished as a member of Deus but that shouldn’t be an obstacle to any decision you make.”
“What an obstacle!”
“If we go under the Company what will happen to your mother?”
She gave a simple smile in response to another executive’s question.
“What happened to me? I will go back as a hunter and climb to the 39th floor. “Unless there is another name from Joo Gong-hyeok the leader of the Company Alliance.”
The executives were speechless at her reaction which seemed to be natural.
At the forefront of Babel they advanced using honor and pride as support.
It was because of Christina that they were able to continue fighting despite risking their lives and losing numerous comrades.
The greatest hunter.
A hero who sacrificed more than anyone else and cared for everyone.
She is now someone’s subordinate?
“It can’t happen!”

Marcus shouted.
“It can’t happen! “It can’t happen!”
“Marcus.”
“You are the savior of this world! Don’t be fooled by such fakes! “That guy is just trash compared to you the true savior.”
“Marcus.”
Marcus who was yelling hysterically felt a sense of oppression constricting his whole body.
Behind Christina who closed her eyes Kali the goddess of slaughter was glaring at Marcus.
“Marcus it’s not up to you to decide who is a savior or a hero.”
“….”
Everyone in the conference room lost the power to refute.
The leader in their hearts was Christina. If she said something like that I couldn’t resist any longer.
“It can’t happen…”
Only Marcus recited once more.
On the way back home after the meeting.
Marcus muttered constantly.
“Something is wrong. “There’s no way she’s the real savior like this.”
When countless monsters poured out of the 2888 dungeons on Earth the awakened powers were playing with the government and asking how much they would pay for each orc head.
Christina killed millions of monsters alone.
She traveled to remote areas of the world to save people without any profit and gathered hunters and sponsors who followed her to create orphanages and relief facilities around the world.
Deus top executive Rosario 13 seats.
They were all saved by her before entering Babel.
Marcus shouted into the air.
“This guy is fake! False prophet! False savior! “He is a false Messiah!”
Since the appearance of Babel Catholics have been calling for the appearance of a savior (Messiah).
Marcus the representative of Catholicism and an S-class avatar was the Messiah candidate they supported.
But Marcus met her and realized something.
Even as she was abandoning her teachings she saved everyone.
Even though they criticized her as a heretic and laughed at her she saved herself from danger with a smile on her face.
She who everyone follows she who cares for everyone.
Marcus realized that Christina was his true savior.
‘I swear to follow only you.’
Marcus’s recognition of her led most religions including Catholicism to believe that she was the savior.
The equation of the savior that people thought of was simple.
Savior = Charisma that unifies a divided group of hunters.
+ Excellent character that cares for everyone.
+ The strongest force without any disagreement.
The whole world praised and promoted the achievements of ‘Savior Christina C. Mahadeva’ to people.

Christina herself did not deny that fact.
Ten Rosario and her hunters followed Christina believing that she would save the world.
Her heroic exploits continued even after entering Babel.
The acquisition of ‘Deus’ humanity’s first unique city was the signal and first step toward humanity’s salvation.
In the early days when competition was fierce like the Warring States Period the gathering of eight unique cities and the creation of the ‘Unique Cities Association’ made people’s faith even stronger.
“She was the perfect savior but at some point…”
From one day on she relieved herself of her burden.
It seemed like he had no intention of becoming a savior himself.
However Marcus believed her.
‘She is the only savior in the world.’
Marcus took action to awaken the Savior.
Lee Seong-rak Moses Mikel Rosario’s executives were killed one by one.
He intentionally put his mother in ‘danger’.
He called it an ordeal.
‘If you put your mother in danger you will awaken your true power as the ‘chosen savior’. From then on the true salvation of mankind begins.’
If others saw it it was a belief that was typically tasteless.
This was the truth about Marcus who betrayed Deus 14 times.
“We took care of Liang Xian and Sigmund but why hasn’t your mother awakened?”
No matter how hard Marcus tried she showed no signs of recognizing herself as a savior.
No every time a life-threatening ordeal came someone interfered.
“It’s because of that bastard Joo Gong-hyuk.”
Rattle-
Marcus opened his door.
Unpleasant unpleasant cigarette smoke poured out.
“hi. “Marcus.”
“!?”
There was one uninvited guest in the room.
A man who confidently smokes indoors in someone else’s room.
The identity of the uninvited guest was ‘Joo Gong-hyeok’ the trash I had been mulling over just a moment ago.
“I never called you. “What’s going on?”
“Why are you so scalded? Marcus. “Even though we are like this we are partners.”
The business partner is correct.
The partner who dealt with Liang Xien and Sigmund.
And he was the bastard who destroyed Deus.
“I have no business with you anymore.”
“I have you?”
“Go back.”
Marcus prepared to activate the signal skill.
“No matter how strong you are if you kill me in the middle of Deus it won’t end.”
“I won’t kill you. “The one to kill is Cluestige.”
Marcus’ movement stopped at the unexpected name.
The Four Heavenly Kings Cluesti was the name of the great evil that Deus was planning to defeat in the future.
[Marcus’ avatar ‘Serpent of Eden (S+)’ determines truth and falsehood.]
A white apple meaning truth immediately came to mind.
“Business.”
“It’s nothing special. “I want you to betray the city.”
“betrayal? “Why me?”
Marcus snorted.
What Joo Gong-hyeok was talking about was not a secret act of betrayal like now.
It meant openly becoming a traitor in front of people.
There is no reason for Marcus to accept the offer.
No matter what Deus did now that it was about to disband it couldn’t be an ordeal for Christina.
“Please betray me. Marcus. “It will be the last thing you do with me.”
“next.”
Marcus coldly declared.
“If you don’t convince me with your next words I’ll sound the alarm.”
“I will give you a reward on the 39th floor.”
The cigarette smoke exhaled by Joo Gong-hyeok hung thick on the ceiling.
Marcus still had contempt on his face.
“I don’t need any valuable wealth or avatar. “Get out.”
Giiiiing──!
A tearing warning sound spread throughout the city.
It was an alarm raised by Marcus.
Even in a tense situation Joo Gong-hyuk straightened his back leisurely.
“Babel’s permanent right to escape.”
“…?”
“That’s the next floor reward.”
Because he spoke so lightly amid the loud alarm sounds Joo Gong-hyeok’s words had no realism.
“Babel’s permanent right to escape. “No matter what anyone says it’s a great thing.”
“Are you saying you can step outside the barbell?”
“okay. “I’ll give that to you.”
A warning light that lights up red.
Hunters gathering.
In it their transaction was completed.
“Let’s hear it. “What kind of betrayal are you talking about?”
“Such a betrayal.”
The cigarette smoke exhaled by Joo Gong-hyeok drew letters in the air.
Marcus opened his eyes wide.
“Are you serious?”
“You know better than me.”
The avatar ‘Serpent of Eden’ who distinguishes between truth and lies lifted the white apple again.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. good night.”
Marcus held his stomach and laughed maniacally.
“The truth has been confirmed. “I will go along with your crazy behavior.”
He felt happy.
‘It’s not over yet.’
‘Mother Christina can still be a savior.’
Marcus sensed that his last chance had come.
Quang!
“Marcus! Are you safe?”
Deus’s guard captain kicked down the door and came in.
Marcus quietly turned his back.
“No problem. “I guess I accidentally used the warning skill by using another skill.”
“Oh is that so?”
After taking a quick look around the room the guard captain turned to the back and spoke.
“Cancel requests for support from Ben-Hur and Shakhtar. “There is no other pretense of popularity.”
“Report it to headquarters.”
It was a false report that only happens once a year.
As the guard commander thought that and was backing away one of the guards tilted his head.
‘Did Marcus smoke?’
Marcus’ room was filled with cigarette smoke that could not be easily erased.
A person’s shadow jumped over the noisy roof of Marcus Mansion.
It was Joo Gong-hyeok smoking in the darkness.
“It’s decided.”
Coming soon to the 39th floor.
Upon entering the 40th floor humanity begins a new war.
A power struggle between the Four Heavenly Kings.
The five-story wall that separated the humans beastmen and gishins was torn down allowing them to contact each other.
“A new era must be put in a new container.”
Joo Gong-hyuk dusted off the cigarette ash.
Ashes scatter in the air.
At that moment Joo Gong-hyuk felt it.
A huge heartbeat sprouting from the bottom of Babel.
thud!
The night view of Deus disappeared in an instant.
The sunset disappearing into the horizon.
Damp air mixed with the smell of blood and excrement.
At the end of the scattered corpses someone was crying.
‘It’s a familiar sight.’
It will be about the 13th time.
To be exact it’s just like the last regression.
It was the scene he saw.
‘The atmosphere is similar to the last dream.’
A ‘dream’ that comes with the shock of the bottom of the barbell
The cycle of dreams coming to me was gradually getting faster.
Moreover this is the first time I have been caught in a dream while sober.
Joo Gong-hyeok walked slowly and went to the crying man.
“We’ve come too far.”
Those were the man’s first words.
“Is this really the scenery I wanted?”
“What are you?”
“Is this really the future I envisioned?”
“What bullshit.”
I reached into my inventory and pulled out a hammer.
Hontar a familiar giant hammer was caught.
“Is this really the sky I drew?”
The man looked up at the sky.
The sky was red like blood.
The hammer fell.
Kwazizig!
The man turned into a drop of blood and disappeared.
Joo Gong-hyeok shook off the cigarette ash on the remains.
“I’ve never cried like this before.”
The male figure was Joo Gong-hyeok.
Just in my 13th life.
He sat like this on the pile of corpses lost in thought for hours.
It was a life where all hunters were eliminated for the first time.
Nod.
Crushed facial skin crawled out of the hammer head.
‘Don’t do anything you’ll regret Joo Gong-hyuk.’
The world returned to its original state.
The red sky and the blood-stained ground disappeared.
The place where Joo Gong-hyeok was standing was in the desert outside Deus.
A harsh desert wind mixed with the cries of vengeful spirits blew.
“Don’t do anything you’ll regret?”
Joo Gong-hyuk chuckled.
“Why are these idiots whining to me about something they will regret?”
A passing dog was almost laughing.
“No matter how much you whine I will kill you all. Don’t criticize the main character’s choices. “I’m going to kill all the bastards in Babel and end this world.”
The burned butt got stuck at the edge of the sand pile.
“You just watch. This world is my world. “I will decide and I will reach the end.”
A strong sandstorm blew from all directions.
Joo Gong-hyeok’s figure disappeared into the darkness where he couldn’t even see an inch in front of him.
