nThe sky flashed with thunder without stop.

nRucifer looked up at the sky with anxious eyes.

nIt was an instinctive reaction.

nEven Rucifer, who feared no one, trembled.

nKaboom, boom!

nThunder continuously rang from the sky.

nThat thunder was weaker than that of Rucifer’s sword of light, but Rucifer could sense that thunder from the sky had something majestic about it.

n“N-no way. There’s no way…”

nRucifer looked up at the sky and mumbled.

nKaboom!

nAlong with a powerful sound, the lightning from the sky struck Min Sung, who was nearly dead.

nRucifer stared at Min Sung with shaking eyes.

nMin Sung’s body was completely wrapped in flashing white light.

nWhen Rucifer saw that, he gulped.

nThe wounds all over Min Sung’s body healed in no time, and then Min Sung’s eyes found focus again.

nRucifer watched Min Sung, at a loss for words.

nMin Sung slowly got up.

nAs for Rucifer, he watched Min Sung while frozen still.

nHe didn’t sense the magic energy that he felt from Min Sung until now.

nBut instead, a new type of energy was surrounding his entire body.

nRucifer’s mind, which was filled with dark ambition, was now completely white with emptiness.

n***

nHellcard looked up at the sky of the Demonic Realm and knitted his brows.

nAt first, he thought it was the aftermath of Rucifer and the human’s fight or just a natural phenomenon, but he started to get a strange feeling.

nA sense from a memory a long time ago told him what the sky was telling him.

nAnd as soon as he realized the truth, Hellcard sprung up immediately.

n“… The great god?” Hellcard looked up at the thundering sky and mumbled to himself.

n***

nMin Sung looked over his own body.

nHis body was bright with white light.

nHe almost looked like a lamp, but that mysterious symptom soon disappeared.

nMin Sung looked at Rucifer in front of him.

nHe appeared to be very afraid.

n“There’s no way. Even if I’m in the Demonic Realm now, there’s no way he made that choice. There’s no way he chose a mere human over me!”

nRucifer shouted.

nMin Sung was unable to understand what Rucifer was talking about, and he was also unable to understand how his wounds could heal so flawlessly.

nAnd that wasn’t all.

nHe sensed something strange.

nHe could feel that he was different from before, but it was hard to recognize to what extent.

nWhen Rucifer unleashed the desire to kill, wings of light spread out from his back.

nAnd despite him unleashing lethal energy that was strong enough to rot the ground, Min Sung strangely didn’t feel uncomfortable by it.

nWhile he wondered, ‘What’s going on?’ Rucifer gripped onto his sword of light.

nWhen he did, dozens of rays of magic energy formed from his sword.

nIt almost looked like dozens of abilities floating in the air.

nMin Sung watched the magic energy with calm eyes.

nRucifer swung his sword of light, and dozens of his magic energy charged toward Min Sung like heavy rain.

nMin Sung moved swiftly, dodging every single one of Rucifer’s magic energy.

nUpon seeing that Min Sung had dodged them all, Rucifer’s eyes stiffened even further.

n“How could the great god choose a mere human like you?”

nRucifer shouted.

nThat was when Min Sung realized what was happening.

nThe great god had given his powers to him.

nThere were specific powers as well, but since the strength of God was a part of it as well, Min Sung’s current combat ability was beyond that of what he could handle.

nThat was also why he recovered so quickly and felt like Rucifer was no longer a threat.

n“I was going to make the position of the great god mine. I’ll kill you and become the owner of creation.”

nRucifer stared at Min Sung with smiling eyes that wriggled with ambition as he gathered his magic energy.

nIn Min Sung’s eyes, the way Rucifer was swallowed whole by greed simply looked pathetic.

nRucifer, who was once so strong that he didn’t stand a chance, was now no different from all of the other weak opponents he had defeated.

n“Die, human.”

nRucifer glared at Min Sung with red eyes and swung his sword of light.

nAs a result of the light from the sword that he swung upward, the ground of the Demonic Realm split into two as the white light and magic energy mixed together.

nAnd that great power formed the shape of a wave and charged toward Min Sung.

nBut Min Sung walked toward it with no intention to dodge it.

nAs soon as Min Sung held up his left palm, Rucifer’s magic energy collided with the light that launched from Min Sung’s hand.

nCrashhhhh!

nIt cracked like glass.

nRucifer dropped his jaw and stared at Min Sung blankly as if he couldn’t believe it.

nMin Sung stopped walking forward, and when he let go of his Gungnir S, it disappeared into thin air.

nMin Sung stared in the direction that his Gungnir S disappeared.

nThe reason why he got rid of his Gungnir S was because he no longer needed it.

nThe great god’s power was beyond his imagination.

nHe slowly turned his head and looked at Rucifer.

nRucifer’s face contained many different emotions, and his grimace was unsightly.

nHe couldn’t help but laugh.

nMin Sung had seen situations where it seemed like something was going to come true, but it failed at the last minute.

nIt happened to him before, and it was happening to Rucifer now.

nThe despair of Rucifer, who fooled around with his life, was all too sweet.

nHe didn’t want to end it easily.

n“How dare you stare at me like that when you’re nothing but a mere human?”

nRucifer roared with rage.

nThe loud shouting rang in all directions, but it only sounded like music to Min Sung’s ears.

nMin Sung flicked his finger at Rucifer.

nHe was challenging him to bring it on.

nRucifer gathered his magic energy in order to pour it all upon Min Sung.

nMagic energy the size of a small building gathered in Rucifer’s sword of light.

nAnd that light energy charged toward Min Sung at an explosive speed.

nBut Min Sung swiftly dodged it and moved in from Rucifer’s left side.

nRucifer flinched and swung his sword of light, but Rucifer was unable to keep up with Min Sung’s speed.

nMin Sung easily dodged his swing and swung a punch into Rucifer’s gut.

nPow!

nAs a result of the impact, fragments chipped away from Rucifer’s backside as if it was a god’s way of bleeding.

nMin Sung watched with fascination before grabbing Rucifer by the throat.

nRucifer was unable to handle the great pain and simply wriggled around.

nMin Sung threw Rucifer onto the ground.

nRucifer rolled on the ground of the Demonic Realm and was covered in dirt.

nWhile Rucifer rushed to get back up, Min Sung walked toward him.

nAs soon as Rucifer saw Min Sung approaching, he rubbed his neck and stepped back.

nJust as his eyes widened, Min Sung’s fist came in.

nRucifer was unable to dodge it or block it.

nMin Sung’s speed was too fast to handle.

nMin Sung punched Rucifer in the chest.

nAlong with an explosive sound, more fragments chipped away, and Rucifer floated in the air before plopping down on the ground.

nRucifer grabbed onto his chest and wriggled on the ground.

nMin Sung lifted his fist and looked at it.

nHe couldn’t see any particular powerful magic energy.

nThat was also proof that he had reached a level of ultimate superiority.

nWhen he looked back at Rucifer, he was standing awkwardly.

nIt appeared that he still had the intention to fight.

nMin Sung smiled.

n“You’re too slow.”

n“Aaaaaaaah!”

nRucifer flipped his head back and screamed.

nHis explosive magic energy caused the land dozens of kilometers away to crack, but that was nothing but an act of vain.

nRucifer leaped off of the ground and charged toward Min Sung.

nHe swung his sword of light.

nHe was too slow.

nIt was almost as if Rucifer was a little child.

nMin Sung dodged his sword of light while grabbing Rucifer’s shoulder with his right hand and grabbing his white wings with his left.

nHe then ripped one of the wings off.

nCrack!

n“Aaaaaaaagh!”

nRucifer screamed and dropped to his knees.

nMin Sung threw the wing away and looked at his own hands.

nThere was black blood on his hands.

n‘Do gods have blood?’

nMin Sung tilted his head and then looked at where the wing was connected.

nLarge amounts of blood were dripping from it onto the ground of the Demonic Realm.

nRucifer cried and groaned in pain.

n“Hey, are you crying?” Min Sung asked Rucifer.

nRucifer lifted his head.

nMin Sung couldn’t believe it.

nRucifer’s eyes were filled with tears.

n“I’m sorry… Please don’t kill me…”

nWhat Rucifer was saying was enough to give him the chills.

nHe never imagined that Rucifer would surrender in such a way, but he also understood why he would be so fearful of going extinct since he had great ambition.

nAnd humans were no different.

nMin Sung knitted his brows at Rucifer, who was covered in blood with one wing missing.

n“Gods… resemble humans too much.”
