    <Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 279>

    When the atmosphere became calm Christina opened her mouth.

    “Gonghyuk. “Would you be satisfied if you killed a lot of people who didn’t listen to you?”

    “….”

    “How much can I kill? How many times can we just kill the two of us at will without going through a trial without a chance to defend ourselves and without anyone’s permission? appointment? Ten thousand people? “If we kill and kill people who don’t listen like that and at the end only the two of us are left and if our thoughts change then will we end up killing each other too?”

    “Don’t talk nonsense. teacher.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok gritted his teeth and said.

    “Teacher and I will never do that. And I’m just saying the best solution. now. immediately. possible. “The best solution.”

    “Is that why you said that I should be killed like that?”

    Her mood changed.

    “I don’t think it was the right choice.”

    “It doesn’t matter if it’s not right. “You have to choose the best solution.”

    “Gonghyuk. “Don’t you think there’s something wrong if the final solution for humanity is violence oppression murder and war?”

    “teacher. “Not all people in the world are like teachers.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok swallowed his suppressed anger inside.

    “There is some garbage that I cannot understand unless it is done in such a crappy way.”

    “….”

    She sighed heavily.

    “What right do we have to judge them? How are we supposed to convince the people of the world whose lives depend on our fingertips? What if we make a mistake? What if we punish incorrectly? “What if someone dies unjustly?”

    “teacher.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok spoke clearly word by word.

    “Before the destruction of humanity. “Such little things are meaningless.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok declared so.

    Sharp conviction forged over a hundred years in the smithy of hatred has sharpened its edge.

    Christina with the blade pointed at her read Joo Gong-hyeok’s inner self hidden within.

    In the end the arrogance that only one is right.

    The arrogance of belittling others and the madness of using any means possible.

    Her face hardened for the first time after reading all that.

    “Gonghyuk. Do you think you are a god? Or do you think that it is okay for you to make mistakes and that others do not?”

    “teacher? “What are you saying?”

    ‘Are you treating me like I’m a god?’

    The moment Joo Gong-hyuk heard those words the back of his head felt numb.

    It was something I heard somewhere somewhere.

    Christina bit her lip.

    “Gonghyuk. Having power is sometimes a scary thing. “You get drunk with power and lose yourself.”

    “Wrong. teacher. “It is only when people have power that they reveal their true nature.”

    The words that were wrong stuck in her heart.

    Black mist flowed down her cheeks in streams.

    “Gonghyuk. So does this mean this is your nature? Think about it carefully. Now you are trying to walk the path of non-humanity. No matter how difficult it is you must not deviate from the human path. You shouldn’t be a monster. Gonghyuk.”

    “monster?”

    Is this happening to me now?

    A monster?

    Joo Gong-hyuk understood.

    How she sees herself.

    What kind of trash are you comparing yourself to?

    “I will do anything for the survival of humanity. “Is it the monster’s way to say that humanity’s survival should take precedence over all other values?”

    “If it can only be achieved through murder and violence. “Is that the way of man?”

    No matter how much we talk the gap cannot be narrowed.

    Even though we were talking right in front of her it felt like she was on the other side of the world.

    She wiped away tears on a remote island across the ocean far away on the other side of the world.

    “Gonghyuk. “What is the difference between you and the people out there?”

    Joo Gong-hyeok couldn’t stand it.

    “Dalaaaaa─────!”

    The whole building rang as if it would collapse.

    “What makes me different from people out there?”

    Are you kidding?

    What do you know?

    Are you talking about looking at the kids outside?

    “Why are you looking at me the same way as the kids outside! How can you look at me like that! What did I do! “I saw some kind of hell outside!”

    It’s still nice on the eyes.

    These guys go around picking on people saying they want to become superheroes trashing the city hanging thousands of people out of anger and torturing them forever so they can neither live nor die swapping people’s limbs opening a speculation board and using them as toy currency giggling.

    The expression on Jeong Hyeon-do’s head before it was kicked like a soccer ball and the sight of the guys laughing with sincere joy as they trample on the groaning and crawling servants.

    You can’t be like them.

    ‘Am I even a god? ‘They’re the same monsters because they only know murder and violence?’

    stop.

    Stop telling me I’m no different from the trash out there.

    “You don’t know anything.”

    I am different.

    I am right.

    You are wrong.

    Gonghyuk thought quietly.

    “teacher. “How many people do you have to die to be satisfied?”

    “Gonghyuk….”

    “Stop the sophistry. Actually you know this too right? “There is no more time.”

    Contempt and anger flashed across Joo Gong-hyeok’s face.

    “You just don’t want to kill people.”

    I asked her as she sat on the bed.

    “teacher. “Have you ever killed someone?”

    “….”

    “Have you ever killed someone?”

    Christina was silent.

    “I knew you would. I’ve never seen it before. “I see you killing people.”

    “Gonghyuk….”

    “I have killed people before. “I killed them countless times.”

    Gonghyuk looked around at the people in the room.

    “And Mr. Ben-Hur. Mr. Sigmund too. I tried killing someone. But you have never killed anyone. Even before my current life.”

    Joo Gong-hyuk closed his eyes recalling old memories.

    Her strength was invincible.

    She was called Christina of Massacre by demons and the power of her anger showed no mercy to contractors or monsters who had completely become demons.

    But not to the same person.

    She always hesitated and eventually had to have others clean it up.

    “At first I thought it was because the director was a great person. Even in difficult circumstances he trusts and forgives people never kills people never sacrifices others and only sacrifices himself. He is a person with great intentions that no one else can follow. You have a great meaning that I cannot understand. “I was so in awe.”

    Gonghyuk slowly opened his closed eyes.

    “But it’s different now. “I never knew something like this would happen even on Earth.”

    Make direct eye contact with her. Gonghyuk Joo said.

    “Christina C. Mahadeva. “You are a coward.”

    “….”

    “You always put off making a choice when you’re in trouble. Your irresponsible reservations are what led to the deaths of Yan Shi and Master Liang. Because of your irresponsibility there are only four Deus executives left out of thirteen.”

    “With this care the cub…”

    Enraged Ben-Hur grabbed Joo Gong-hyeok by the collar and lifted him up.

    “I can’t stand it anymore! Can’t you see the sacrifices your mother made? “Mom you always did your best!”

    Joo Gong-hyeok coldly looked down at Ben-Hur while being held by the collar.

    Then he glanced at Christina.

    “Then let me change my stance. The teacher is a coward. Because I don’t want to get my hands dirty. “I just rationalized myself with words that are always nice to hear.”

    Kwaang-!

    The exterior wall of the building broke and Joo Gong-hyuk was thrown out.

    Ben-Hur shouted from the room where the outer wall was broken.

    “Joo Gong-hyeok! You are one of the world’s most shameless bastards! “People like you are not even brothers!”

    “Ben-Hur! Stop it! stop!”

    Christina pulled Ben-Hur’s sleeve to stop him.

    She looked back and shouted at exactly where Joo Gong-hyeok was.

    “Gonghyuk! Come up! It’s my fault it happened like this because I didn’t know anything. Please forgive me. Even if it’s late even now we have to trust each other and work together… just once with each other….”

    Gonghyeok pulled out a nearby rebar and used it as a cane.

    Christina could be heard pleading but Joo Gong-hyuk turned his back and disappeared.

    “Gonghyuk! Gonghyuk—!”

    The anxious calling continued.

    Ben-Hur blamed his impatience.

    “sorry. mother. “I’ll stop…”

    The association was buzzing.

    “Did you just hear that?”

    “Fighting. “It leaked.”

    “Sunil. “What on earth are you thinking Gonghyuk?”

    “shut up. “It’s better than being stuck in headquarters doing nothing.”

    “what?”

    “Is this bastard starting a fight now?”

    “You guys. Are you looking down on us for running around everywhere?”

    Due to the recent incident the organization’s organizational strength collapsed.

    It was originally a close call but with the ugly scenes of executives fighting among themselves it will be difficult to go back to the way it was before.

    “Marcus Ben-Hur. “Why did you trick me?”

    Marcus fell to his knees.

    “Mother Chris! Don’t blame Ben-Hur! It’s all my fault! “I abandoned the people of this world and put my mother’s body first and with a wicked mind I tempted Ben-Hur and committed this mistake. Please blame me!”

    Christina looked in the direction where the voice came from.

    “Marcus. you are….”

    Tears rolled down her cheeks.

    “In the name of doing it for me. “Is this why you do this because I always forgive you?”

    “….”

    “Are you taking anything easy because you think they will forgive you no matter what mistake you make?”

    The room was filled with pitch-black sadness.

    Marcus lowered his head and felt his tongue tingling.

    The pressure from her anger crushed my lungs and my skin peeled off.

    Even though it wasn’t his intention any decent hunter would have crumpled like a cardboard box just from the pressure of this anger.

    He opened his mouth with difficulty expressing gratitude that Christina was alive and well.

    “If you are going to punish me please punish me. Even if I go back it’s my choice to do the same! “It’s just a sin of deceiving and humiliating my blind mother!”

    Marcus gouged out his own eyes with barely raised hands.

    “I will punish myself in a small way and never see anything again! If that’s not enough give this abominable disciple some whipping!”

    Christina was silent before opening her mouth.

    “Just like Gonghyuk said. “One o’clock will be urgent.”

    “….”

    “Everyone please explain here without a single lie. What is happening? It’s late but what’s the best I can do? “We need to put our heads together and come up with a solution.”

    Ben-Hur and Marcus nodded hesitantly and Sigmund turned his back and went to the collapsed outer wall.

    “I will talk to Brother Gonghyuk. “He seems hurt too.”

    “Please. “Sigmund.”

    Sigmund jumped down the outer wall his white robe flying.

    * * *

    Joo Gong-hyeok came out of the association using a bent rebar as a walking stick.

    He was in despair.

    ‘This method is wrong.’

    If Christina won’t cooperate we’ll have to find another way.

    She asked me to trust her one more time but it meant something different.

    Joo Gong-hyuk who has seen her longer than anyone else can tell.

    Christina the ideal savior will not change her mind.

    It was only on this day that Joo Gong-hyuk finally realized.

    Christina was on the exact opposite side of him.

    No she was there from the beginning and she herself walked to the other side.

    He vowed that he would never repeat the mistake she made.

    ‘What should I do next?’

    The absolute solution I could barely think of was over before it even started.

    The following measures must be taken:

    The next plan to save this crazy world…

    “Joo Gong-hyeok.”

    A familiar voice was heard from behind.

    “Mr. Sigmund?”

    Sigmund in a white robe approached him.

    “With great power comes great responsibility. “It’s something that your mother would be keenly aware of.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok’s face distorted.

    “It’s not like that. “I just came to Earth and realized it.”

    “What do you mean?”

    “…Mr. Christina was not the unimaginable hero from books she was just a person.”

    Gonghyuk lowered his head and walked with a cane.

    “For some great purpose. It’s not that an ordinary person like me couldn’t understand because he was a great saint who pursued perfect ideals and drew big pictures… he was just a coward. A kind person who can be courageous when dealing with monsters but cannot be courageous when dealing with people. A good coward…”

    In contrast to Joo Gong-hyeok who walked with his head bowed Sigmund put his hands in his gown and looked up at the sky.

    “I was attracted to my mother’s finiteness. “You seem very disappointed.”

    “….”

    “What I said to my mother earlier. The second half was a simple accusation. Deus executives were sacrificed because my mother irresponsibly delayed making a choice.”

    Sigmund bent down and looked into Joo Gong-hyeok’s face.

    “Is that really your mother’s fault? Did they all die because of their mother’s lack of judgment and ability? “If it really is her personal fault wouldn’t all the faults in the world be attributed to personal mistakes or lack of ability?”

    Sigmund raised his finger and pointed at Joo Gong-hyeok.

    “If you look at it that way everything can be seen as a lack of ability on your part.”

    Sigmund’s words pierced my heart.

    He continued speaking.

    “Why did you only talk about her mistakes leaving out the fact that she relied on the charisma of the Virgin Christina to unite the hunters and rely on her abilities to clear Babel? When Liang Xian died. Weren’t you the one closest? Wasn’t it a misjudgment on the part of you who sent Hayeonsi to death? “Can’t you help it because unlike the hero Christina you are an ‘ordinary person’?”

    Joo Gong-hyeok stopped walking and turned his eyes.

    “Mr. Sigmund. “What do you want?”

    His eyes changed.

    “You want me to make ugly excuses? “Is it wrong to let things get to that point?”

    Sigmund answered expressionlessly.

    “Joo Gong-hyeok. It’s good to know shame. Faults can be blamed on anyone but blaming cannot fix the past. But my mother must have thought big too. “See you later and apologize.”

    “….”

    It’s not worth talking about further.

    ‘No one can fix the past?’

    It’s bullshit.

    If you are yourself you can fix it.

    This unreasonable and wrong world.

    It can be fixed correctly.

    Joo Gong-hyuk’s one and only eye is filled with keen madness.

    “Are you finished with what you wanted to say?”

    “no. “This is the main point.”

    Sigmund took out a golden ring from his pocket.

    It is not a thing of Earth. It is a Babel-made item.

    “What is this?”

    “My mother rejected your solution. “Isn’t the next solution necessary?”

    “Did you read my thoughts?”

    “What about the surface that appears on the outside? “You are the type of person who is quite active so even if you don’t want to read it it gets told.”

    “No need. go away.”

    Gonghyuk roughly turned his back.

    “You’ll need it.”

    When Sigmund said that the world surrounding Joo Gong-hyeok turned white.

    The body disappears and only consciousness becomes clear.

    The world of consciousness overlaid reality.

    This is Sigmund’s mental ability.

    Joo Gong-hyeok sighed.

    “Sigmund. I don’t want to kill you. “Stop playing around.”

    Having said that the situation was not that easy.

    I can’t believe that he Babel’s strongest hunter was helpless and allowed to attack first.

    Even though Sigmund’s ‘identity’ was known his abilities exceeded the expected range.

    Clud-

    Sigmund appeared as the huge world tree draped its branches.

    Babel is a person with top-notch mental abilities.

    The hidden owner of the perfect city “Ilibatus.”

    Sigmund “Animus” Niederneubit.

    He said emotionlessly.

    “Take it.”

    Sigmund held out a ring.

    “….”

    “The world still needs you.”

    ‘The world still needs me.’

    Those words captivated Joo Gong-hyeok and a golden ring fell into his hand.

    Joo Gong-hyeok holding the ring became the master of the world.
