nJaehwan jumped toward Runald as he took out spirit stones from the bag to consume him. He felt the uncomfortable feeling of the stones being swallowed and-

n-W-what!

nA powerful storm of world power was unleashed from within Jaehwan. He then charged straight into the Gigantes in front of him.

nThe Gigantes was flung back as Jaehwan collided into it.

n-What in the world…

nA Gigantes being pushed away by a man? The Vicegerents were dumbfounded. But Jaehwan wasn’t satisfied.

n‘Still not enough.’

n20 thousand world power was rushing within him, but it wasn’t his own yet. The enemy he was facing had also over 20 thousand world power and was immune to his Fall. Then how…

nJaehwan! Take your clothes off!

n“What?”

nTake it off! Listen to me!

nAndersen’s voice urgently filled Jaehwan’s head.

nCome on! We don’t have time!

nJaehwan gave up on thinking and threw away his Long Coat. He stared with disappointed eyes at the coat as he threw it. It was a coat that he had just gotten…

n‘Why do you want me to take off my clothes?’

nSo you can use my Setting.

n‘…the Naked Setting?’

nAndersen then calmly responded,

nThe Naked Setting was originally made to use against Gigantes.

nIt was something he did not expect. Then, a bright light covered Jaehwan’s entire body. His body now shone so brightly in gold that it was hard to even look at him directly.

nIT WORKED! YES! I think you can complete up until the 1st verse with this world power!

nHe wasn’t sure what she was excited about, but Jaehwan knew something was going to happen soon.

nLook. This is the true power of the Naked Setting!

nAnd with her voice, Jaehwan’s body flew high up into the sky.

n-Wh-what’s up with him?!

nThe Vicegerents riding the Gigantes were shocked. The man threw away his clothes and soon began to shine brightly, but the Vicegerents felt untold fear. They didn’t know what he was doing, but there was something definitely wrong there.

n-He’s an idiot! Kill him!

n-He’s just mad!

nAnd in the next moment, the words of a song were heard.

nA long long time ago,

nA Naked God lived.

nHe hated clothes-

nSo, he lived naked for his entire life.

nNo one was sure who was singing or where the song was coming from, but time was slowing down and the space was being distorted. The Vicegerents looked at Jaehwan. Jaehwan, buttnaked, was walking slowly toward them, a light-footed God with an innocent voice.

nJust like an old fairytale, as if they had all been pulled into, they looked at Jaehwan.

nYet, they didn’t know what kind of finale was waiting for them.

nOne day, a naked God walked.

nHe was bored and walked outside.

nAnd he met his first friend.

nThe page of the fairytale turned, and the riders of Gigantes now realized that they were part of the cast of this fairytale. They tried to clear their mind of this eerie terror.

nIt’s okay. This is an illusion. It’s nothing. He’s human.

nBut the man in front of them wasn’t human.

nGod.

nA giant, naked God was watching them.

nA naked God was talking to them.

nLet’s play.

nAs they heard the voice, their minds became blank. Things that were possible and not possible began to get mixed up in their heads. Nothing was done to them, but the Gigantes were backing away.

n‘W-what is that… what the hell is that…!’

nThey reassured themselves.

n‘It’s okay. I’m inside this machine. He can’t hurt me here…’

nThe naked God was now smiling in front of him.

nHey you, what is that?

nSay, it’s not CLOTHES, is it?

nThe Gigantes flinched. It was as if the giant metal armor was shaking in fear. The Vicegerent inside began to shake as if he was having a seizure and fell. Nobody was there to hear it, but the Vicegerent lost his mind and was mumbling something.

n“No, these aren’t clothes. These aren’t clothes… Ha… Haaha… Go-go away… go away… GO AWAY…!!”

nAnd soon, a voice came from the Naked God.

nLIES.

nEveryone turned silent. All the fights in the auction house stopped. Myad and X. The Vicegerents who were fighting each other. Hatchnold and the auctioneers who were trying to stop the fight.

nThe giant body of a Gigantes was ripped apart like a piece of paper.

nKaravan, the Vicegerent of Ignis, who had been watching from a distance spoke.

n“…God. That’s not fair. It’s crazy.”

n…

n“What the hell is that thing? God… say something, will you? What kind of Setting makes you become that strong just being naked and singing like some lunatic?”

n…That Setting still remained. I didn’t even guess, I don’t think ‘he’ is still alive… is it preserved through another God?

n“Huh? Do you know of such a Setting? I’ve never seen it.”

nOf course you’ve never seen it. It’s a Setting that was created 210 thousand years ago.

n“…210 thousand years ago?”

n210 thousand years ago was the time when the Three Ancient Gods were active. Who created such a Setting during that time?

nThe naked God was still busy with his act. The Setting unleashed a ridiculous amount of power only when facing Gigantes.

nThe third and fourth Gigantes were ripped apart by Jaehwan’s bare hands and Ignis spoke in a bitter voice.

nIt was created by a mad God who hated Daeus.
