Damned 13th Regression – 331



<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 331>

Coo coo coo coo….

God’s fist landed on top of the barbell.

Fingers and fists disintegrated and covered the top layer of the broken barbell.

Hashamayim God’s right hand permeated Babel turning into a tower and the blue-white flames faded.

Turp-plop-

Joo Gong-hyeok covered in dried blood walked to the throne.

Joo Gong-hyeok slumped down on his new throne.

A new throne in ‘Archangel Cradle Hashamayim’ not the throne on the 88th floor where the Demon King sat.

[Confirmation of the tower weapon barbell operation system.]

[Babel authority delegated to “Ascendant Joo Gong-hyeok.”]

[Acquired Babel Avatar’s Absorb Demon King’s Power “Genesis Destruction Method”.]

Hashamayim who took control of Babel sent a message.

“It’s going well.”

The authority of the tower and the Demon King’s method of destroying the world were in his hands.

Now it’s time to conclude.

A true ending that will not be repeated in the name of regression.

Ugh-

Hunters were summoned to the space of Hashamayim.

The cluster of lights summoned by Hashamayim continues.

“Where?”

The hunters looked around.

They don’t know it but this is the waiting room of ‘Archangel Cradle Hashamayim’ that they pass through before returning to Earth.

Hunters were confused in a space covered with bricks as white as chalk.

“What happened?”

“All the monsters disappeared though.”

“no way….”

Christina looked at Joo Gong-hyuk with sad eyes.

“Gonghyuk….”

She was the only one who confirmed the face in the third round.

Even though there was no third time in her arms anymore she clutched her chest tightly with lonely and complicated feelings.

[「Bel Marduk the Demon Lord of the Creation Destruction Act」 has died.]

[Ascendant Joo Gong-hyeok takes over the throne of Babel.]

Instead of Babel’s system which stopped working Hashamayim’s system announced the news.

Everyone looked at Joo Gong-hyeok who was sitting on the throne.

“Joo Gong-hyeok?”

“If you are Joo Gong-hyeok then you are the traitor…?”

“Joo Gong-hyeok! “You actually cleared Babel!?”

Joo Gong-hyeok who was sitting on the throne nodded.

The hunters asked again in disbelief.

“Are you sure… is it over?”

“Can we not fight anymore?”

“You’re going back home right?”

Waaaaaaaa───!!

The hunters shouted and threw their weapons into the sky.

The injured person jumped up and fell forgetting that he had no legs.

Joy and joy that cannot be expressed in words.

A festive atmosphere filled with cheers.

The War of Babel which was more horrendous than any other war finally ended.

The atmosphere of the previous war where everyone could not contain their joy.

This is all too familiar to Joo Gong-hyuk.

A sight I have already seen several times.

There were times when we joined in and rejoiced together and sometimes weed out dangerous elements on the spot.

‘Space time system….’

Even gravity meters and electric meters.

Regardless of their ideology or personality they dragged out and killed all the hunters who had the ability to destroy the world.

There is no need for that anymore.

Now…

“Where are the angels?”

“We must return to Earth quickly!”

The hunters were very excited.

“Our dog has gotten stronger!”

“Fuck purple coins that cost millions of won on Earth are just rolling around on the floor here. “Giggle.”

“We are rich now!”

From coins to various items that people on Earth can’t even dream of.

Hunters looked back on their numerous assets and dreamed of returning to gold.

They believed that everyone would welcome them back after protecting the Earth.

But Joo Gong-hyuk shook his head.

“You can’t do that.”

Joo Gong-hyuk’s voice was drowned out by the hunters’ loud cheers.

Hunter’s hearing was enough to hear it but no one cared.

Until Joo Gong-hyeok used the “Annihilation Act.”

“Uh huh?”

“What is this!?”

Starting with those close to Joo Gong-hyeok slowly…

『Avatar』 is being erased.

“Jugonghyuk is a dog!”

“What the hell are you doing!”

The hunters were scared and walked away from Joo Gong-hyeok.

I ran hurriedly outside the throne.

Hunter who was running rolled on the floor and had a seizure.

『Avatar』 disappears. 『Power』 disappears.

The hunters screamed out the name of the avatar as they felt the terrible sensation of their everything the “Avatar” disappearing.

Kwaang-!

Hunters attacked Joo Gong-hyeok’s throne.

“Joo Gong-hyeok! What are you doing! “It’s all over!”

“Why us! Why are our avatars—!”

Leaving behind the cries of the hunters I reach out my hand and silently erase 『Avatar』.

“don’t do it! Don’t do it!”

“Don’t delete my avatar—!”

The hunters who were running away fell forward and screamed blood forming in their necks.

The hunters’ avatars disappeared rapidly.

Even the devil cannot erase an avatar faster than this.

If the Demon King had been able to erase tens of thousands of avatars at once the battle on the 88th floor would not have occurred.

However it is possible if it is Joo Gong-hyeok who has the power of “Ascension”.

It doesn’t take a hundred years like the original 14 rounds in the world of future people.

Deleting 1.5 million avatars only takes 30 minutes.

“Ahhhhhh——!!”

It feels like a part of my consciousness is being ripped away by a powerful force.

A feeling of being deprived of strength and weakened. Babel’s instinct is that if he becomes weak his life is in danger and everyone will take advantage of him.

Hunters instinctively cannot tolerate this.

The bombardment of angry hunters rained down on Joo Gong-hyeok.

Hunters who lost their senses rushed in with their weapons.

A loud noise and a shock wave erupted at the place where Joo Gong-hyeok’s throne was.

However Blue Flame’s Joo Gong-hyeok does not move a single inch.

No matter how much you hit with a knife or an ax no matter how much you hit your foot with a chainsaw no matter how much you grab and pull the joints of your fingers.

I can’t even break a finger.

Nathaniel looked at him from the throne with worried eyes.

“Joo Gong-hyeok….”

Joo Gong-hyeok closed his eyes as he watched the hunter screaming in front of him and repeatedly hitting his eyeballs.

I closed my eyes and quietly imagined.

Erase your avatar and abilities.

Take away all items and traits that would wreak havoc on Earth.

A future where hunters who have become completely human-like descend to Earth.

I imagined a future where hunters live happily on a peaceful Earth.

I thought of the hunters smiling happily and going about their daily lives.

….

….

A softly lit living room filled with movie titles.

You sit on the sofa and watch a movie and your child falls asleep on the sofa.

I don’t know if it’s my grandson or my son.

If you are stroking the head of a child who is talking in his sleep…

‘It can’t be like this right?’

The child opens his eyes and speaks innocently.

‘There’s no way you can be happy right?’

‘Do it in moderation. I killed so many people and killed them again….’

bang-!

The hunter next door drags his family to pieces.

‘It’s not fair for you to be satisfied and happy alone!’

Another hunter said as he strangled a neighbor who had ignored him.

‘Do you think we’ll be happy in a world like this?’

In a peaceful world hunters opened their mouths by constantly killing people.

‘We’re all crazy about murder and violence aren’t we?’

‘The ruined people who lived in Babel.’

‘There’s no way you can be happy in a world like this right?’

‘Loneliness irrationality dissatisfaction with losing everything and madness that threatens to explode…’

‘It’s in us.’

‘You know best right? Joo Gong-hyeok.’

All the blood-stained hunters looked back at Joo Gong-hyeok.

‘iced coffee….’

Joo Gong-hyeok groaned in his heart.

I can’t imagine.

Now that the war is over there is no need for abilities.

There is no need for an avatar characteristics or items.

I couldn’t imagine a future where hunters stripped of all their abilities could live happily on Earth.

On the mountain of corpses my past self spoke.

‘Save the world. Joo Gong-hyeok.’

‘Kill all enemies who are destroying the world.’

Finally Joo Gong-hyeok realized it.

A ‘future that will not perish’ has been discovered.

There is no threat to Earth anymore.

The Demon King the Beastman Tribe and the Gishin Tribe.

Finally even the hunters are able to get rid of Joo Gong-hyeok.

If the hunters’ avatars and abilities are erased with the Demon King’s “Law of Destruction” the Earth will not be destroyed.

‘But you guys…’

Joo Gong-hyuk opened his closed eyes.

Blue flames exploded from the throne and the hunters were thrown away.

No attack skill or curse can threaten him.

The hunters shouted in fear as they saw him not moving even in the face of any attack.

“Demon King” “Demon King”.

Joo Gong-hyeok thought as he watched the hunters screaming and running away from the law of destruction.

‘What is right?’

Will people be able to smile someday?

As time passes will Babel’s hunters be able to forget their wounds and live with a smile?

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

However Joo Gong-hyeok always tries to live the right life.

No matter how painful it is no matter how much someone blames you no matter how much everyone curses you.

Try to make the right choice based on your beliefs.

That’s why he sometimes becomes a villain.

Killing people to save the world.

They create hell to realize their ideals.

Anyone can see that he is an evil villain the devil and has done countless things like that.

Although I want more than anyone else.

Not everyone can find a happy ending for superhumans.

Joo Gong-hyeok could not be the ideal hero in the story.

Joo Gong-hyeok an ordinary human being in reality who only possesses crazy strength is faced with the limits of reality and can only save the world in a twisted and contradictory way.

He has always been resented by hunters.

In no world did hunters understand the ways of the returnees.

Joo Gong-hyeok’s way of arbitrarily trying to prevent something that hasn’t even happened yet.

The way he thinks it’s right.

“You can’t go to Earth.”

“what?”

The avatar disappeared and the trembling hunters looked up.

Joo Gong-hyuk spoke to them.

“In order to live on Earth all abilities including the avatar must be erased.”

“What the hell are you talking about you fucking idiot!”

“All the items and coins you have will be useless.”

“What on earth do you mean!”

Joo Gong-hyeok spoke calmly to the shouting hunters.

“You will be unhappy.”

‘Even though I gave up everything to save the Earth.’

Joo Gong-hyeok muttered softly.

“Why are we so unhappy!”

“The devil lord is dead and all the devil bastards are dead!”

“I cleared the barbell why on earth!”

“Do you know how we got up here!?”

“Where are the angels! Why are you still watching this baby’s rich! ”

Injured people mixed in with the hunters.

‘Edgar the Silver Arm’ asked this question.

“Joo Gong-hyeok…!!”

Hunters who were running away from the annihilation law in the endless space of Hashamaim were frustrated.

All avatars have disappeared.

The source of absolute power lost half of himself.

Next Joo Gong-hyuk began erasing the characteristics of the hunters.

The reason for deleting the avatar was not to send the hunters back to Earth.

This was to completely eliminate the possibility of rising to the upper level of the barbell.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!

“What are you doing now!”

“You traitor! Search! “Get out you bastard!”

“Please please don’t do this….”

“Joo Gong-hyeok! I curse you! “Go to hell!”

A curse that goes beyond profanity and is literally a curse with all one’s heart and soul.

The million hunters gathered at Hashamayim screamed.

“I want to go home….”

Kane Marquez who was revived from a handful of blood by Hayeonsi’s resurrection fell to his knees.

“Send me back home. Please. “I have to go home and see my mom…”

Kane Marquez fell to the floor crying.

“Please send it back. Just send them back home…”

The hunters starting with Kane Marquez sobbed one by one.

Repeating the names of fathers mothers sons daughters and lovers.

“If I’m not there mom mom…”

Kane Marquez crawled to the throne where Joo Gong-hyeok was.

“I’m sorry I’m sorry Joo Gong-hyuk. Everything I said earlier was a lie. “I’ll lick your shoes so please…”

However unlike before no matter how much I crawled I could not get closer to Joo Gong-hyeok.

The space continued infinitely and the distance between him and Joo Gong-hyeok did not narrow.

“Joo Gong-hyeok Joo Gong-hyeok… Joo Gong-hyuk!”

“Fuck you fuck you!”

Raw swear words came out of the hunters’ mouths.

There is no time to list multiple words.

Unable to form words he just desperately cries out Joo Gong-hyuk’s name like a child.

Anger hatred screams a crucible of horribly distorted cries.

In the whirlpool of emotions that would shake anyone Joo Gong-hyuk did not blink an eye.

Joo Gong-hyeok does not fall for this appeal.

He carries out his own selfish justice without being swayed by clumsy appeals.

One hunter stood up in tears.

“good! Take away my abilities! You don’t need an avatar or items! “I will return to Earth no matter what!”

“I will too!”

Joo Gong-hyeok ignored his request to send him back to Earth as it was okay to remove his abilities.

They don’t really realize what they are saying.

‘You’re saying this because you’re drunk on this situation and are biased by past emotions.’

These are not words that have been properly thought out.

The reason hunters want Earth is because they crave fantasy memories of the past.

Hunters don’t need Earth.

The reality they want is their longing and obsession for their lost youth.

Compensation for the worst life.

His judgment was clouded in order to compensate for decades of living in the worst hell called Babel.

Hunters can’t handle reality.

Hunters cannot live in an ant cave called Earth.

As humans live we sometimes step on ants.

Even if there is no specific intention to it.

When children are immature they pour water into anthills or harass passing ants.

Of course no one cares about that.

Even as you get older if you become interested in ant caves you pour molten iron into them to make them into works of art or you split the ants to study them.

No one cares about that.

This is because ‘ants’ are not the same human being.

Can an elephant live in an anthill?

Since an elephant can trample on ants is it right to cut off its limbs remove its brain reduce its thinking ability reduce its body size to that of an ant and allow it to live among ants?

If you want to live with ants until the end that is right.

However the elephants who asked to do so did not choose after truly considering the cost but did what their emotions told them to do.

In a life where you become like an ant like a bug unable to feel the senses you were supposed to feel and only think at the level of an insect you lose all your original power your five senses and limbs disappear and you become a loser ant among ants only crawling around like an insect. Hunters only feel terrible despair and regret.

‘Everyone is so intoxicated by the victory right before their eyes that they can’t see it…’

Clearing the barbell is not all about immediate victory.

Hunters only see victory in front of them but returners see beyond.

Even if you kill the Demon King and clear Babel the story of the world does not end even if Babel’s story ends.

There is a world after the ending.

Joo Gong-hyuk has seen the world after the ending several times.

Killing the devil doesn’t solve everything.

A happy ending where everyone is happy does not come.

‘Because the Earth is real.’

Hunters who freely killed raped and stole intelligent beings from other dimensions.

Hunters who have the ability to destroy stars and travel across space cannot return to Earth and live peacefully with ordinary humans.

The world doesn’t work that easily.

‘Hunter cannot live as a human.’

Hunter wants to live as a god.

It’s an instinct.

An instinct that even Joo Gong-hyeok cannot avoid.

A hunter who loses his power cannot be happy in the end.

I miss the lost strength.

As if he was missing his lost hometown Earth where he used to live and longing for the boring peaceful daily life of the past.

Thus Joo Gong-hyeok forced his conclusion on the hunters.

Because he is a tyrant who carries out his own righteousness without regard for others.

He imposes his justice through violence on those who reject his conclusion…

The devil and the incarnation of the hunter he hated so much.

He was the ‘tyrant of Babel’.
