Damned 13th Regression – 32
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 32 – 3rd floor uninhabited island
Gonghyuk arrived at the center of the incident.
“Are you here?”
There were hunters who came first.
All their eyes were focused on one place.
There was a pitch black ball above the boiling outer core of the torn mantle.
“It’s a baby.”
“Baby. “A baby with an SS-class space avatar.”
Inside the pitch black ball was a baby about 6 months old.
A unique SSS-level item that the child is using.
Nyx’s Veil which forms absolute concealment and defense.
In addition it has a space distortion ability that prevents any attack or approach.
‘Ah I see what happened.’
Newly born awakened people are weak. Since there are no monsters it is difficult to have the power to destroy the Earth.
However people with space-time abilities do not fall into this category.
Aira was killed as soon as her abilities were discovered.
However the golden grandchild of Ben-Hur and Julia an executive of a surveillance agency was a person with spatial abilities.
Until now they had killed other people’s children without a second thought but they could not do that to their own grandchildren.
From the beginning most hunters had antipathy towards Gonghyeok.
A dictator who coddles people with the goal of preventing destruction in advance.
That was the way Gonghyeok was viewed an executioner by a surveillance agency who never knew when he would drop his own head.
‘Kill this child because of destruction that may or may not happen? No way! We will protect this child.’
Since Ben-Hur and Julia were executives they were well aware of ‘Argos’ surveillance system.
The couple found a loophole and hid their child. We avoided Argos’ surveillance by using the SSS-level hiding item ‘Nyx’s Curtain’ and all the items collected from Babel.
‘But the child’s abilities must have been unexpectedly strong.’
The first few months may have been as calm as they expected. However once the baby used his abilities things would have escalated out of control.

The space is bent by the early morning cries and the space is cut by the cries for the mother.
A runaway of ability that is impossible to discern and depends only on the child’s emotions.
The first to be sacrificed were Julia’s son and his wife who were ordinary people and after Julia and Ben-Hur realized the extent of the child’s abilities the accident would have already occurred.
And Julia and Ben-Hur surrendered their lives obediently to Zeus’ thunderbolt.
Gonghyuk’s body shook.
Even the strength to support my knees was gone and I leaned against the torn mantle rock.
“Hahahahaha.”
Grab your face with both hands. Only a meaningless laugh came out of my mouth.
How many minutes have passed like that? Several hunters approached Joo Gong-hyeok.
“Mr. Joo I know it’s sad but let’s end the despair game there. Even though the Earth has become like this with our level of ability it is possible to live in space.”
“You have been preparing for Mars terraforming using talented people for several years. Let’s try that plan. 2 It may take about 300 years…”
The laughter stopped and anger flowed from his lips.
“Shut up.”
simplicity and honesty
The two men’s necks were forced into the body. The body which shook back and forth a few times soon disappeared in the heat of the outer core.
“It’s all over. “Fuck it it’s over!”
Don’t be horrible. I spent hundreds of years making Mars a place for people to live and died comfortably but what if I go back 900 years alone?
Go back.
I hear whispering again.
Go back.
Go back. Go back.
Go back.
Protect humanity.
Save us from destruction.
An unknown whisper to return and save the world.
It had a certain coercive force.
‘I’m going crazy.’
I’ve already gone crazy about 11 times but if I go any further my humanity will be lost.
By leisurely regressing a few hundred times we can find a future in which hunters do not destroy the world?
My nerves can’t handle something like that.
In a corner of Gonghyeok’s mind a thought that he had been avoiding for a while appeared.
Kill them all.
‘really?’
Do you think you alone can prevent the destruction of hundreds of thousands of people?
‘So we killed tens of thousands of the most dangerous people.’
Even the safest hunter can destroy the world.
As long as there is only one hunter left in this world.

There is a 0% chance that the world will end.
No matter how much we reduce the number of hunters his son’s son’s grandson’s grandson will continue the possibility of destruction.
you···. Can you protect the world until then?
‘······.’
The Demon King destroyed the world and got rid of him.
Then if Hunter destroys the world…
Just kill all the hunters.
‘Yes I vaguely knew it.’
Hunter brings destruction to the world.
But inside there was someone he loved and a comrade who fought with him.
Everyone including Joo Gong-hyeok was a victim of Babel.
How could it be stopped with such overwhelming force?
Wouldn’t it be possible to prevent the destruction by killing the person who caused it in advance?
Wouldn’t it be okay to execute the dangerous elements who easily destroy the Earth first?
So Joo Gong-hyeok failed six times.
How much regression is left?
There is no time. A solution must be found within it.
At a time when I could still be human.
“Next time I will kill everyone.”
Joo Gong-hyuk is a third-rate hunter from an orphanage.
216 years of life so far.
2193434 people have been directly killed so far.
He cannot bear to write down here the number of people he has indirectly driven to death.
Finally all hunters gave up.

Babel 3rd floor.
A deserted island in the vast ocean.
The rolling blue sea.
Bright sunlight shining down.
3000 people were gathered on a huge ark floating in the air.
Lilianne a sexy succubus wearing a bikini was enjoying a suntan as if she were on vacation.
“The place where you are standing is the ark. This is something that needs to be made on the third floor. ”
Mission ‘Build an Ark.’
【Rules】 1. Build an ark and escape from the 3rd floor. The door leading to the fourth floor is in the sky.
“If you use your abilities or tricks to ascend to the sky I will send you away at once.”
Liliane slightly lifted her sunglasses and winked.
The tip of the ark burned with lasers from her eyes.
【Rule】 2. The ark is made by gathering ‘materials’. The smallest single-person ark requires 100 materials.
【Rules】 2-1. Materials come out with a low probability when you kill monsters. When you kill a hunter you get 20.
【Rules】 2-2. In order for the ark to fly in the sky ‘floating stones’ are needed. To complete one floating stone you must kill 6 boss monsters.
Azazel who was standing like a statue opened his mouth.
“There are 7 boss monsters on the island. “Six of them live in each dungeon and the last one lives in a crater in the center of the island.”
Azazel paused for a moment and looked at the hunters more specifically at Gonghyuk.
“The seventh boss monster has something special. “The person who has it is on the third floor…”
“Azazel please continue there.”
Liliane’s tail fluttered and blocked Azazel’s mouth.
“We cannot induce hunters to take action other than disclosing information.”
“······.”
【Rules】 3. The seventh boss monster in the center of the island ‘Lava Stone Tyrannosaurus’ goes out to hunt once a week.
“Tyrano?”
“No way there are monsters here…”
The confusion among the hunters grew at the unexpected name of the Tyrannosaurus boss monster.
【Rule】 4. Hunters drop 10% of the coins they have acquired upon death.
All rules have been explained.
“Now let’s go down to the island in groups of ten. Everyone please prepare~”
After Liliane’s words a full-fledged conversation began among the hunters.
Among them there was a shadow that was looking for Gonghyeok in particular.
“Oppa Gonghyuk oppa!”
Hayeonsi spent the second floor alone somewhere else.
Her complexion was somewhat dark and unstable.
A lot happened to her on the second floor.
So much so that she is nicknamed ‘Witch Hayeonsi’.
‘We shouldn’t meet yet.’
Gonghyuk no X hid himself among the hunters.
It was difficult for her to pretend to know her while wearing a mask and she still needs to mature more.
Until I suffer more pain and hurt and give up my ideal imagination.
Liliane smiled brightly as she watched the hunters moving around busily.
“oh? Everyone worked hard to decide on a team. But what goes down is random.”
As Lilianne’s smooth bare feet twitched a moving magic circle was activated beneath the hunters’ feet.
= = = = =
Crook clunk.
If you look to the left you will see a white sandy beach; if you look to the right you will see a lush virgin jungle.
10 hunters including Joo Gong-hyeok were moved to the midpoint.
“What a bitch. “You’re making fun of me.”
Pavlov who had terrible scars from his chest to his neck let out a curse.
Looking around everyone looked normal except for the gloomy guy wearing a hood.
Everyone had their posture awkwardly and looked at each other.
“Hmm let’s start by sharing our full names. “My name is David.”
“yes? “Why are we talking so well together?”
Pavlov rushed forward to suppress the group.
Wearing an ax on his shoulder and emphasizing his ferocious appearance created a rather rough manly atmosphere.
“Now you listen carefully. This is a mission you can never complete alone. “Even a small number of people like three is difficult.”
“Why is it difficult?”
“It’s simple. “To create a floating stone you must kill 6 boss monsters.”
David gestured to the people around him.
“It usually takes 10 assault troops to kill one boss.
“Even if you kill 6 of them with such difficulty there is only one floating stone.”
“I see. “Are we saying that one party must join forces to hunt the boss and build an ark for the entire party?”
“Great! That’s it.”
At David’s words several calculations ran through everyone’s minds.
However we concluded that it would be better to pretend to cooperate for now rather than drastically revealing our true intentions.
First a middle-aged man who agreed with David’s words extended his hand to Paplov.
“My name is Gera and in real life I was a professor at a small university.”
“Tch… I’m Pavlov. “He wasn’t an intelligent person like you he was just a local carpenter.”
“I am Fang Zhao from China…”
“Zakuani. “I was buried in water in the Congo.”
One by one hands are shaken. David with a smile on his face approached Gonghyuk.
“nice to meet you. My name is David and I am from Tennessee USA. “What is your name?”
The evil dog’s mask looked down at David’s hand.
“Good. however···.”
The great sword that came out of Gonghyeok’s arms raised David’s hand in an instant and cut it off.
“Turn it off!”
“You should wash your hands before shaking hands right?”
“I knew that bastard was going to cause an accident!”
“Press it!”
Pavlov took out the giant’s avatar. Just as a huge hand was about to grab Gonghyeok.
“for a moment! “David’s hand.”
The grass around the hand that had been cut by the great sword was turning black and dying.
“Was it a plague avatar?”
“under! “It seemed plausible but he turned out to be a fraud!”
David broke into a cold sweat as he stopped the bleeding on his cut wrist.
“So over there. “It’s not like that…”
[Ignition Booster (D) activated]
Kuaaang!
Flames spewed out from the tip of the great sword and David’s upper body was split diagonally and boomed.
David’s upper body which flew like an object hit a hard tree.
The sound of bones breaking and something being torn formed an unpleasant harmony.
A higher level of violence. The ranking was completed in an instant.
Everyone in the room looked at Gonghyeok’s mask.
“Oh it’s hot. “It’s hard to wear a hoodie and a mask with heat rash on a tropical island like this.”
Gonghyuk took off his mask without hesitation.
“I will see you many times. My name is Joo Gong-hyeok. “I’m sorry but could you please listen to my situation?”
“!?”
The metallic sound of a chain ringing from the end of the hood split the air like a whip.
Sigh!
The internal organs of the three people who were defenselessly hit by the chains burst.
“I plan to work as Joo Gong-hyeok on this floor… “Everyone who sees my mask can die.”
“Damn it! “What bullshit!”
Pavlov let out a roar and rushed at Gonghyeok.
······.
[Acquired a total of 180 materials]
[‘Rare materials’ were acquired through murder]
[Blood-Soaked Mast – Ark’s movement speed +4 knots]
[Black anchor rope – Correction of the ark’s rotational force]
[Giant harpoon – where it is used is a secret]
“Ignite.”
A small flame burns in the hole in the pipe.
Gonghyeok took his time adjusting the flame and slowly sucking in the end of the pipe.
“Purification of spiritual gathering.”
[Obtained 2 pieces of dirty spirituality 4 pieces of clouded spirituality and 3 pieces of clean spirituality]
[The purification skill changes ‘Piece of Clean Spirituality’ into ‘Piece of Immaculate Spirituality’]
[A piece of turbid spirituality…]
[A piece of dirty spirituality…]
Gonghyeok pushed the collected piece of spirituality into the Sephiroth tree in his lower abdomen.
[Nathaniel has consumed a piece of spirituality. Activity waiting time has been shortened to 6 hours and 16 minutes]
“On this floor we made a few holy beasts and people…”
Gonghyuk looked at the sky and raised the corners of his mouth proudly.
“We should try to save people as much as possible right? Azazel. Let’s keep pace with each other this time. “If I disappoint you will I be in big trouble?”
For some reason lightning struck the bright sky.
