Damned 13th Regression – 283
by Jessie@AFNCC
<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 283>
* * *
Christina appeared in a dream.
Gonghyuk heard what she was doing.
She was forcing tens of thousands of monsters to sleep.
‘I don’t know if it means defeating him but he will preach for eternity like Buddha…’
It is a non-major that has nothing to do with her abilities.
I wonder if it would be possible even for the devil but Christina foolishly does what she thought was right.
She spoke finally.
‘Gonghyuk. I thought a lot after hearing what you said.’
‘I don’t think I can understand all the hardships you’ve gone through. ‘I’m sorry for hastily saying I understood you.’
‘When I look back on the past days I have endless regrets and reflections… but no matter how much I think about it I can’t understand this.’
The soft-spoken woman spoke firmly.
‘Gonghyuk. ‘The courage to become a villain is sophistry.’
‘No one needs to be a villain.’
‘I don’t understand that way of thinking.’
The conversation ended with that.
“….”
Maybe you’re wrong and she’s right.
I wanted to believe that.
The vast plateau of Mars.
Gonghyeok sensed something strange in the closet of the Red Wasteland Prison.
Something came down to Mars.
Clap-
The prison door which cannot be opened opens and a handsome old man in a white suit appears.
“How are you? Joo Gong-hyeok.”

The old man who came in with the escort hurriedly stood in front of Joo Gong-hyeok.
Gonghyuk hugging his tattered cloak raised his head.
“What’s going on?”
“Just wake up and see.”
Almog Biton bent down and held out his hand.
“What a pity to see you rotting in this dust pit! “You don’t have the talent to be in a place like this!”
Joo Gong-hyeok asked without reacting.
“What’s going on?”
“Joo Gong-hyeok.”
Almog spoke vigorously.
“Come on my ark.”
Kuuuuuu──
The vibration of an airplane landing.
Outside the door a majestic silver flying vehicle could be seen with sand dust swirling around.
‘spaceship.’
There was no choice but to call it that.
Almog proudly introduced.
“This is Lee Min-seon an improved version of the Company’s treasure the U.SSS.”
“Lee Min-seon?”
“hmm! “We are leaving Earth and heading to our new home.”
Joo Gong-hyeok asked with a displeased look.
“…No one would have been allowed to leave the solar system?”
“I had a deal with the association. Do you think the early Mongolian prisoners you captured went to prison quietly?”
Joo Gong-hyeok was silent.
He was wondering that too but he couldn’t afford to worry about preventing the next crime.
Marcus stroked his mustache.
“The imprisoned hunters were treated as VIPs at a high-end hotel. At least to have the assortment that I am holding on to. In addition how do you think the hunter association’s budget and the social costs of hunter policy and each country’s government’s preparedness plan for hunters came out? “I negotiated and covered it myself.”
“….”
“I think this story will be long.”
When the old man lifted his finger the henchman moved the chair.
Almog spread his legs wide and sat majestically.
“We are heading to the LZB 0414 galaxy 462 billion light-years away from Earth.”
“…It’s far.”
Gonghyeok who knows the size of the universe firsthand as a transcendent was able to know that it was a galaxy directly opposite the Earth.
“The planet we will migrate to has also been decided. It’s called the paradise planet Compania. Gravity and atmosphere are similar to Earth.”
Almog Biton shook his head as if proud.
“This time I plan to become the owner of a star not the owner of a company. Furthermore I will be in charge of half of the universe of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Like Caesar of Rome in the past the name of Almog Viton may become a word meaning master of the galaxy. “Hehehe.”

“….”
What should I do?
The content doesn’t matter.
Joo Gong-hyeok was disgusted by Almog’s self-displaying desire.
“If it’s an immigration ship how many people will it take?”
“One thousand hunters and one thousand human beings. A total of two thousand.”
Joo Gong-hyeok snorted.
“How can we achieve civilization with just 2000 people? “There must be a genetic problem to build a civilization with that many numbers right?”
“Don’t ignore the old man. “The people on board are the world’s greatest scholars who have agreed to go into space.”
Howie Smith bowed his head and answered.
“When you go into space you can do things that you couldn’t do on Earth due to ethical issues. “We asked for your consent before boarding the immigration ship to take off for a new civilization.”
“cancer. yes.”
Almog shook his head again.
“While you were holding back the hunters and buying time I proceeded with the ‘plan’. “We identified the coordinates of the entire universe found the galaxy to migrate to and identified the location of the relay portal and the point to set up the distortion gate.”
“That’s amazing.”
“In addition we tested fertilized eggs from hunters and ordinary people.”
“…What do you mean by fertilized egg?”
“Inheritance of Hunter Traits.”
Almog twitched one corner of his mouth.
“If the child born from the union between a hunter and an ordinary person is an ordinary human being isn’t there a need to take a purebred human being? “All we have to do is collect a few animals for historical and educational purposes.”
“….”
Joo Gong-hyeok’s temple twitched at the word ‘Mari’.
Almog who did not notice continued his story.
“As a result of accelerated experiments on fertilized eggs we confirmed the inheritance of the hunter trait at 18 weeks. Even a child born to an ordinary person can become an avatar. I will take the legacy of humanity to a place as far away from the influence of hunters as possible and make a new history for humanity blossom. “But there is one problem.”
Almog waved his hand and the ceiling became transparent.
When I raised my head I could clearly see the Earth.
“As a first generation hunter I know the physiology of hunters better than anyone else.”
The old man pursed his lips tightly and looked up at the Earth.
“The Earth is a treasure trove. Admit it. “It’s a one-of-a-kind place in the universe.”
“….”
“A place where there are pretty women a place where there is good wine a place where there is delicious food a place where you can watch a moving movie a place where there are people to talk to a place where you can gain a sense of conquest by being treated like a slave a place where there is fame glory and intelligence. As living creatures our home Earth is the only place where we can satisfy our need for recognition. “Everything on Earth is ‘real.’”
The old man shook his head.
“Even if there were other intelligent beings in the universe they wouldn’t get this much satisfaction. It’s a tragedy that happens because Hunter was originally human. Even if the Hunters create a new human race it is not ‘real’ in the end. “When you realize it’s a copy you’ll be tormented by an eternal thirst.”
“so.”
Joo Gong-hyeok laughed at the old man.
“Are you really going to escape Earth with humanity? “Without even trying anything?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
The old man stuck out his head and looked at Joo Gong-hyeok right in front of him.
“This is my solution. “At least it’s more realistic than yours and Christina’s solution.”
“….”
“I respect the efforts you have shown. So I hope you respect the solution I worked so hard to come up with.”
The old man walked away again took out a handkerchief and wiped his monocle.
“I respect your and Christina’s efforts but we must also consider the ‘worst case scenario.’ “There’s nothing bad about it right?”
He put on his monocle and looked up at the Earth.
“Christina is imposing an ideal peace. No one on Earth can escape the laws she imposes. Even if it’s wrong. “She is dictatorial in a sense.”
‘I’m talking about the dictatorship of ‘peace’.’ The old man muttered.
There was silence in the room.
“ruler! “I will create a new paradise where hunters and humanity come together!”
Almog clapped his hands to brighten the mood and spoke calmly.
“My ability to convert objects into coins ‘Midas’ Hand’ is the only means of supplying new coins in the universe. In a world where coins do not exist only I can raise new hunters and maintain a hunter society. “But before that I need your help.”
“….”
“I’ll be honest. I think in the future the word Hunter will mean… a Cosmic Horror or Planet Destroyer born on Earth. “Maybe it’s not a planet but something bigger.”
The old man looked at the blue star and smiled sadly.
“Where will everyone go when our mother Earth disappears? I hope that those who have nowhere to go don’t become terrible demons that eat away at the universe. “It must be difficult.”
When Almog waved his hand a three-dimensional map of the universe identified by the Company appeared in the air.
“Someday hunters will come to the paradise I built. So I decided to create a gateway to space.”
The middle part of the universe shrunk and turned into an hourglass.
A space distortion and warp barrier that splits the universe in half.
The vast universe was distorted like an hourglass and a narrow passage was created.
The paradise planet Compania was shining at the top of the passage and Earth was at the bottom of the passage.
“I will divide the universe in two and block all space movement except through this passage. Then hunters must pass through this passage to come to our galaxy.
Almog pointed to the concave waist of the hourglass.
“It is a vortex gateway where numerous galaxies turn to dust and swirl due to space distortion. “I would like you to take charge of this place.”
Joo Gong-hyuk chuckled.
Vortex Gateway.
What a grand name.
Almog who revealed his grand ambitions vigorously stretched out his hand.
“Joo Gong-hyeok! Would you like to become the gatekeeper of the Vortex Gate that protects humanity? If you join you will leave an unforgettable mark on the new beginning of human history! To put it simply unlike Christina who kicked you out we all desperately want your help. “Won’t you break free from Christina’s embrace and join us in opening a new future for humanity?”
“…president.”
Joo Gong-hyeok shook his shoulders as he looked at the old man’s outstretched hand.
It was a laugh. The one-eyed hound raised its eyes.
“You need a dog after all right?”
“….”
“Hunters who will find you someday. “Do we need a mad dog to destroy planets and chase away the horrors of the universe hell-bent on finding new toys in the empty space?”
Hehe Joo Gong-hyeok spat into Almog’s palm.
“Let the obedient dogs next to you do that. “Because I have no thoughts.”
“Joo Gong-hyeok!”
“How dare you tell the Chairman!”
The guards each put their hands on their weapons.
Hahaha Joo Gong-hyeok laughed for the first time in a while.
“why? Why not try it? Are you confident that 100 people will gather together?”
Gonghyeok counting the number of guards in and out of the prison laughed shaking his shoulders.
“Because 100 bugs gathered together did you gain courage that you never had before? Then go for it. “You don’t know right?”
Joo Gong-hyeok waved his cane upward.
“I’m half sick now. Mobility dropped to one hundredth and combat power plummeted. For a warrior that’s half a penny. huh? So give it a try. “You might actually win.”
The one-armed hunter holding a cane laughed maniacally.
“Chairman.”
“Behind us!”
The henchmen stepped forward to protect the chairman.
The rest of the guards surrounded the chairman and were tense.
Smith who had an SS-class avatar sought a way out.
Although Joo Gong-hyeok introduced himself as an anti-byeongsin confronting him head-on would result in annihilation.
To have any chance of winning against him you have to launch long-range bombardments from outside the solar system.
“…It’s really as tight as someone said.”
The old man frowned took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva.
“You are always angry.”
“….”
“The Demon King is dead too how long will he live like that?”
Almog clicked his tongue and turned around to leave.
The guards were on guard and escaped the prison and with 90000 miles to go the Eunha immigration ship “Absolute Safe” took off with its engines roaring.
Gonghyuk Joo left alone in a dark corner of the prison muttered.
“How long are you going to live like this?”
‘Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” Joo Gong-hyeok lowered his head and laughed.
“I don’t know how long I’ll live like this.”
The manifestation of the avatar.
The prison exploded sending debris flying past the immigration ship.
Smith who was from the front line broke into a cold sweat.
‘This can’t be right….’
The surface of Mars was covered with prominence.
Carbon dioxide which makes up 95% of the atmosphere chemically reacted in extremely high temperature flames and separated into carbon monoxide and oxygen and chain explosions eroded Mars’ atmosphere.
While explosions and flames made it impossible to see even an inch in front of them the hunters confirmed a huge presence rising from the bottom.
Something rose from the flaming star that literally became Mars.
“Fuck….”
The hunter peering outside the spaceship was overcome with despair.
Five dark red fingers rose through the sea of red flames.
“Surt…”
“Joo Gong-hyeok the titan of destruction….”
That’s it…
The hunters were frightened when the finger blocked the immigration ship trying to escape orbit.
Smith swallowed dry saliva as the titan slowly appeared head first cutting through the red flames.
“Chairman. “I think I touched the wrong beehive.”
“Quickly get into battle stance!”
“The spaceship is going to crash!”
“Chairman what are you doing!”
Not only the escort but also thousands of hunters aboard the Absolute Safe screamed.
I was trembling because everything was over or I was kicking the wall of the safe asking why this damn safe blocks space movement.
Almog said a word without even looking at the panicked people.
“Don’t worry.”
The old man remained calm even as he saw the huge maw coming to bite into the absolute safe.
“Joo Gong-hyuk is not the kind of man who would do something like that.”
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Argh! Save me—
The angry giant that seemed like it was going to burn everything suddenly stopped.
“Civilian area” expanded outside the spacecraft
As the spaceship shook screams of despair were heard from the civilian area.
“….”
The maw which was blazing with flames and threatening to devour the spaceship at any moment slowly and calmly closed.
Eventually the giant carefully pushed the spaceship up with his fingertips as if letting go of a young bird.
The spacecraft shook off the flames and came out of Mars.
Smith who had prepared to escape looked up.
“Chairman what is this?”
“Giggles—did I tell you? “I’m not the type of person to do that!”
Almog Biton laughed from the cockpit as if he knew that would happen.
“My way of looking at people is accurate. Joo Gong-hyeok is fundamentally different from the bastards on Earth.”
The old man rested his chin and laughed.
“He may be angry but he is a man of faith. For a man of his stature to break his justice and beliefs is more humiliating than death. “He is not a man with so much integrity that he slaughters innocent civilians whenever he feels like it.”
Almog who was laughing cheerfully licked his appetite with regret.
“He was raised by Christina the savior of Babel but it is the contradiction and tragedy of this era that a man of his size cannot escape from being an out-of-date idealist.”
The old man turned his head and looked back at Mars.
The fire giant was staring blankly at the disappearing spaceship.
It seemed really foolish and lonely but it can’t be helped because men like him live like that and die like that.
Almog shook off his regret and drove the ark beyond the Milky Way.
