Damned 13th Regression – 257



<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 257>

Babel 10th floor cave dungeon entrance.

Kwaang—!

A cave and a mountain ridge were blown away with a single punch.

Joo Gong-hyeok cursed after blowing up dozens of dungeons and mountain ranges in 10 minutes.

“Fuck shit shit! “Huh huh huh.”

Joo Gong-hyeok was breathing heavily in the dust.

“Whoop whoop whoop—!”

Wow!

Joo Gong-hyeok vomited.

Chunks of sour material and solidified lubricant fell on the floor.

He who has replaced most of his body with a machine does not suffer from indigestion.

It was purely mental vomiting.

Nathaniel was fidgeting as he looked at him and Liang Xian sitting on the rock behind him kissed his lips.

“What a messy owner.”

Just 10 minutes ago it was hard to believe that he was the person who negotiated so gently with the Heavenly Dragon Yahuhan.

He who was in the middle of pouring out vomit looked up.

“Fuck… my head hurts.”

Joo Gong-hyeok leaned against the wall resting his forehead.

“Ten people ten people?”

I thought of warriors wearing black helmets.

I couldn’t check the inside of their helmets.

but.

‘But there’s no way you can use Dog Ox Level 10 Sephiroth or summon six Thunder Gods right?’

Judging from the abilities they used and their words and actions they were clearly their past selves.

‘From where to where?’

The three descended on the beastman city.

Probably the 5th 8th and 9th rounds.

Among them in the 9th episode “Rain God Joo Gong-hyeok” was killed by Yahou Han.

‘What about the eight on top?’

Since there were no robots that were about 20 meters tall was “Steel Dead Joo Gong-hyuk” not included?

It is impossible to estimate.

‘At least the three who came down first must have been special elites.’

The three who appeared in the beastman city were themselves who had killed the demon king.

There seemed to be a problem somewhere.

‘First of all my hair looked bad at first and I couldn’t use my avatar.’

Joo Gong-hyuk began analyzing himself.

‘The power of creation appeared in the helmet and used the avatar. It’s not like I could have used an avatar from the beginning.’

Does using the avatar require time or is there a cost?

In the 8th episode “Holy Spirit Corps Commander Joo Gong-hyeok” also used powers such as selection but when the same powers clashed with each other the fake power disappeared.

Even when Longinus collided with each other the duplicate Longinus was broken.

“I wish there was at least a limit on the number of times an avatar can be used. shit.”

Having said that even if it can only be used once the incompetent Joo Gong-hyeok here is dangerous.

Joo Gong-hyeok took out a cigarette for the first time in a while and asked.

I chewed the filter carefully and pondered my thoughts.

‘If three people sing “Progenitor Eindorf (SSS+++)” at the same time…’

There is no chance of winning.

bang!

Joo Gong-hyeok turned around and hit the wall.

“Damn it! Damn—!”

The cigarette he took out to calm himself was torn into pieces scattering brown leaves.

As strong as Joo Gong-hyuk is.

Joo Gong-hyuk of the past who gave birth to the person he is today was also strong beyond imagination.

1:1 is difficult but 1:10 is even more difficult.

“GM.”

[Did you call me?]

As usual a system message came up.

Joo Gong-hyeok said while chewing the remaining filter in his mouth.

“Look up who those guys are in the database.”

We have to figure out their strategy somehow.

However a GM wearing a hat appeared in front of Joo Gong-hyeok.

[Master. You know that too right? Their identities cannot be found in my database.]

“What do you know?”

bang!

The earth shook once again.

“What on earth are those bastards!”

The GM bowed his head politely.

[They are your rebounds.]

“rebound?”

The GM lowered his head and his smile stretched all the way down to his ears.

[It is the price of regression. They were born from the traces of your return.]

“….”

The price of regression.

Perhaps it is a rebound of a return that is in line with the people of the future.

“Those guys….”

Joo Gong-hyeok slowly opened his mouth.

“Would the story make sense if these guys were me from the past?”

[It would be nice if it worked but the Demon King is probably not that stupid.]

Kwazijic—

GM’s hat was torn in Joo Gong-hyeok’s hands.

The darkness that took over GM’s face faded and Joo Gong-hyuk’s hand grabbed him by the collar.

Joo Gong-hyuk who had veins in his eyes lifted the GM and spoke clearly.

“How much do you know? “Tell me everything.”

The GM who was in a miserable state instead of the usual relaxed monster wrote a message.

[That’s all I know. It’s embarrassing to even say I know. It’s all just speculation.]

“Stop teasing and tell me straight. “Before I kill you.”

As Joo Gong-hyeok’s mania slowly rose the GM wearing white gloves shrugged his shoulders.

[It would be very difficult if I perished in your hands. Don’t you know?]

A blue dot appeared in GM’s pitch black eyes.

In Joo Gong-hyeok’s eyes it was clearly visible.

White clouds floating on a blue dot.

Fish swimming in the sea.

Humans walking on the earth and gathering in close quarters.

The blue earth slowly floated in GM’s black eyes.

[I am the god of Earth. If I disappear before the Demon King Bel Marduk dies trouble will happen.]

“….”

Joo Gong-hyeok let go of his collar and sat down.

“What should I do?”

Ten past selves.

A dragon god who has become a monster whose bottom is unknown.

The demon king noticed the return and began to mock himself.

Every time I thought about it one by one I felt nauseous.

‘How should I attack these guys?’

A crisis that has never been experienced before.

Your worst enemies are waiting for you.

“Fuck! “How should I kill him?”

Joo Gong-hyeok the perfect returner is no more.

An ordinary hunter Joo Gong-hyeok was standing at the starting point.

The GM looked down at Joo Gong-hyeok.

[Don’t give up. master. Don’t you know that too?]

The corners of GM’s mouth which was torn as if he were always smiling went up even further.

[Only you can save the world.]

“….”

[Only you the one I chose not anyone else.]

Joo Gong-hyeok held his head in silence and opened his mouth.

“Why did you choose me?”

This was a question that Joo Gong-hyeok had throughout his life.

“There are many people on earth who are better than me. “Why did you choose me and not someone else?”

the GM asked.

[Do I look special in your eyes?]

“What bullshit. You are the god of Earth! But why did you choose me!”

The GM smiled at Joo Gong-hyeok who was getting angry.

[In your eyes I the god of Earth may seem special but I am also just an ordinary god. He can’t send down a firestorm that wipes out the universe like Zeus and he doesn’t have the fighting skills to subdue 10000 demons invading the dimension like Jecheon Daeseong. There are just a few fun tricks that’s all.]

“….”

[That’s why you were chosen. You are an ordinary person no different from me. Because I am not a god capable enough to choose someone.]

The GM who said that put his hand on his chest and looked smug.

[I am proud of you. You have done very well so far. I killed the devil 6 times out of 14 times. Recently Hildegard cannot be trusted every time they meet. That you are such a great being.]

GM floated a simple table in the air.

[Especially in the second half of the year I broke the barbell 4 times out of 7 times. If I succeed this time it will be number 5.]

“That’s fucking amazing.”

[As the series progressed you steadily became a more capable savior. Although I became more and more distressed my ability to overcome crises and catch and kill the devil definitely improved.]

The GM slowly opened the avatar space by repairing the torn hat.

[Even if everyone else criticizes you I am on your side. no….]

Joo Gong-hyeok’s avatars were visible through the avatar space.

They were awkwardly scratching their heads or turning their backs but they all looked like they were worried about someone.

GM smiled again.

[Everyone here is on your side.]

= Huh? I think Geo should be left out?

[Oh that’s right. Except for Mr. Geo. Sijo Mr. As expected you are as clueless as an idiot.]

= Yes?

GM kicked the round sijo and closed the avatar space.

[I will try to persuade the guardian spirit Geo. Gonghyeok Joo. You do your job. I believe in you.]

The GM disappeared after saying “Okay that’s enough.”

Jecheon Daeseong whistled in the avatar space.

= Hwiyu~ You suddenly became speechless? Mojadori.

The GM adjusted his hat and glanced sideways at Jecheon Daeseong.

[I didn’t want to have any unnecessary influence on him so I just stayed quiet for 300 years. If you cling to me to find answers to your life or die but you become hostile and confront me for keeping me coming back you’ll be in trouble. However that was slowly reaching its limit.]

= Then Mojadori. Why are you talking down to your younger brother now?

[Now this is really the last time. No matter what I do or how he changes there is no next time.]

The GM said in a lonely tone.

[This time everything will be finished. Even if it ends in failure.]

Sigh!

Daeseong Jecheon’s fist landed on the GM’s hat.

= Uh-huh~! Where are you going to cheat and fail?

[….]

= Just like you said we are here.

Jecheon Daeseong hugged the GM and smiled.

= As long as we are around Joo Gong-hyuk’s younger brother is invincible! Trust us!

[Don’t borrow the dragon god’s lines. Because it’s unfair.]

= Are you dissatisfied?

[no. doesn’t exist.]

= Game Master. Even though you are a god you lack dignity.

= Hawaii! Let’s call Mr. Geo quickly!

= This body will also help you persuade him. Instead I told Joo Gong-hyeok to immolate myself and go to the beastman gisaeng house…

Joo Gong-hyuk’s avatars came together and a story blossomed.

Joo Gong-hyeok who had been sitting for a while even after the GM disappeared suddenly burst into laughter.

“Damn it. “What’s on my side?”

“What’s wrong with people? “GM still said good things.”

Nathaniel was hovering above his head with a disapproving look on his face.

Liang Xian walked from afar.

She held out her hand with an indifferent expression.

“Are you okay? “I heard that talking to your avatar is an early sign of mental illness.”

“I’m already terminal so it’s okay.”

“I see. “I will keep that in mind.”

Zhou Gonghyeok stood up holding Liang Xian’s hand.

My mind was still chaotic but my mood had cleared up a bit.

‘Something. ‘I felt limited.’

Today alone I almost died 10 times.

And he actually died.

The sword of his past self “Joo Gong-hyeok Commander of the Holy Spirit Corps” went in and out of every area.

And when he met the heavenly dragon Yahuhan he was overwhelmed and almost disappeared from the world.

If Joo Gong-hyeok had made even one wrong choice he wouldn’t be here.

“I don’t have enough strength.”

If you remove the privilege of ‘reversion’ Joo Gong-hyeok is an ordinary human being.

The great hero Yahouhan instantly surpassed “Rain God Joo Gong-hyeok” through an accidental awakening.

Things like ‘awakening’ and ‘companies’ faith’ are exclusive to heroes.

This does not happen to Joo Gong-hyeok an ordinary human being.

Miracles do not happen if you have a strong mind and stand up to an enemy that is bigger and stronger than you.

It just breaks.

‘What I can do…’

As written in the old strategy book.

Day by day.

Step by step….

‘It’s just building up madness.’

Effort is also important.

But madness is more important.

The power that makes an ordinary third-rate hunter achieve the impossible feat of killing the Demon King and destroying Babel is not effort but madness.

Madness built up day after day after hundreds of years of countless suffering.

The strategy book is worn out but Joo Gong-hyeok still has it.

‘If I die that’s the end but I who survived have a chance.’

This is your last chance.

I can’t fail anymore.

You must not die even once.

‘Death’ is ‘the end’.

‘I need a body that won’t break even if I take 100 fatal blows.’

“Come here. “Oppa.”

A familiar voice sounded in Joo Gong-hyeok’s ears.

The voice was light and faint as if it would disappear at any moment and it felt like smoke.

Joo Gong-hyeok approached her.

The heterogeneous Ha Yeon-si with her angel wings spread looked up at Joo Gong-hyeok.

“You need me. “Oppa.”

“Should I call it Hayeonsi?”

“Call me whatever you want. but······.”

The angel Hayeonsi stroked Hayeonsi’s cheek as she was out of breath.

“There’s not much time left.”
