‘But what’s wrong with one of his eyes? What happened to you? Was it Cherubim?’

The first thing I noticed was that his condition wasn’t normal.

‘I mean, what’s up with him?’

His eye was bleeding. In normal circumstances, I might have thought that Cherubim had hit him, but… I didn’t think the guy who loved his brothers and sisters so much would dig into Seraphim’s eyes. It was a bit weird, but it didn’t take long for my question to be resolved. That was because the dummy world crumpled in one of his hands.

‘What the hell?’

“…”

I could see his pupil trembling with anger.

‘Really?’

He put strength to the hand that held our little project.

‘Was it really Dummy Kiyoung?’

I remembered that the most recent reset was when Dummy Kiyoung studied ways to influence the bigger world.

Jihye laughed at him and pressed the reset button for the next experiment, but it seemed that he found a way to get a blow from the demon-like guy who was harassing them in this round.

‘Wow, fuck. He is scary. I knew he would cause trouble someday… How did those tiny guys dig into Seraphim’s eye? How does he keep remembering the previous rounds? Does it remain in the unconscious? Is there a trigger like that?’

It wasn’t acceptable in the system, but it might not have been entirely impossible.

Look at the present Kim Hyunsung. Who would have predicted that he would become a god-like entity in the end?

It was a lifetime of resistance in the dummy world where the same cycle had been repeated thousands–no, tens of thousands of times. It must’ve been his last act.

I could bet that it was because they never let go of the hope that they could hurt the transcendent demons who tried to control them.

They lived the same life over and over again, feeling the reality of being treated like an experimental mouse as unjust, so they stood up, eventually proving their worth. By hurting Seraphim, they let the transcendental people know that they could resist their fate.

…

‘You demon.’

Their creator chose to destroy the little world. The way the dummy world shattered was far more disastrous than I thought. If there were any survivors of the Dummy World, wouldn’t Seraphim be evaluated as the devil who put an end to the world?

‘Those tiny guys did nothing wrong.’

I thought it was just a piece of data. Still, I naturally clenched my fists as I truly cherished them.

‘I knew it, fuck. He looks really pissed. If this is the case, he may have noticed how the situation is going.’

If he weren’t an idiot, he would surely know.

‘I thought it wouldn’t be bad if he believed it a little bit more. Well, this is not a bad situation either.’

Since the stock, which he believed in, became a piece of toilet paper, he wouldn’t think that the new humanity plan was working normally.

Perhaps he quickly realized that he was being deceived. If it weren’t a big deal, he could have thought there was an error, but he wouldn’t make that judgment, considering one of his eyes got smashed.

I felt like I should try to figure out why his eyes hurt.

He brought his gaze down to see what was wrong with the dummy world I dropped before, and…

‘He got a critical hit. Wow, that’s surprising. Really.’

With that pain, I could bet he had realized that everything was just bluffs and lies. The enraged Seraphim’s expression was hard to describe, and it was honestly surprising that someone who didn’t show his emotions easily did that.

‘It must’ve felt unfair. The stock he was investing in with all his assets was quickly delisted. You also stabbed Cherubim with your own hands. You’re already ready to fight. Hyunsung, you can do it, right?’

-I will surely kill you, dirty scum. Disgusting motherfucker.

‘That was for me, right?’

-…

‘I think it should be for me. You heard what that bastard said, right, Hyunsung? That motherfucker said he’d kill me.’

-I’m never going to let you live in peace, you scum motherfucker. I’ll slowly give you death while you’re swimming in eternal pain. It won’t be bearable. I will torment and devastate your soul and body in the most disastrous ways, way far horrifying than anything you can imagine… I’ll make you feel more than that.

‘You heard him, right? Fuck, Hyunsung. That motherfucker said he’d kill me.’

-I’ll torment you! I will! Even if it’s the last thing I’d do! I can’t forgive you! Never!

‘He’s agitated. He’s scary. I don’t think he’s sane.’

-Answer me if you’re listening! Motherfucker! You disgusting crap bastard! Lee Kiyoung! Lee Kiyoung!

‘I have to say something.’

“H-Hyunsung.”

-No need to be afraid, Kiyoung.

‘As expected of our Hyunsung.’

-Your existence itself is evil! Your existence itself is evil and harmful! The fact that trash like you wanders around in this world is a misfortune on the continent and a mistake on the dimension.

‘Doesn’t he have a bit more creative curse?’

-I think you know why the dimension where you originally lived spat you out, you dirty pollutant bastard! Humans abandoned on the continent are victims! It’s probably the humans who disowned you and accidentally sent others with you. You are a disgusting creature! You’re not chosen by any god. You deserve to be abandoned by everyone.

‘That’s a bit more creative.’

-No! It’s too much to call you human. You’re a maggot that’s worse than demons and knows how to use others more than a parasite! I will never leave you alone. Never! Never!

It looked like he really went nuts.

‘Aren’t you a little too agitated? You have to calm down a bit. Aren’t you like the angel among angels? Why is your mouth so dirty?’

-I… Did you think you’d fool me?

‘I think I already did, though…’

-You rat scum! Dirty parasite!

‘Stop it. What’s wrong with you? You look too desperate. Look at his eye. Hyunsung, you won’t leave him alone, right? Right? So creepy… Ugh…’

“Ugh…”

-Don’t worry. I can solve this.

‘I’m counting on you. Hyunsung.’

The way the pigeon was breathing in proved to be quite ridiculous. Honestly, since I was in debt to him, I was certain that I wouldn’t find a more pleasant situation.

If he could hear my voice, I wanted to laugh at him. Oh, I forgot. I could laugh at him.

-This motherfuckeeeeer!!!

Eventually, the guy who couldn’t stand the anger reached out to the sky.

‘Hyunsung, are you ready for battle? Are you ready for battle?’

My head seemed not to be tense at all, but my body seemed to be tense. Kim Hyunsung was the same, and me too. It seemed to be because I remembered how he looked with swords stabbed all over his body, but the answer was to just swallow the worries.

“There is no chance of losing.”

He wasn’t strong. If Kim Hyunsung and I were together, he would never lose.

-Judgment!

‘You are innocent.’

I wanted to say that, but I knew that it was a line that didn’t mean much. Even if I helped, Kim Hyunsung wouldn’t be able to ignore his original sin. In an instant, the swords blown into the air came into sight.

I bit my lips tightly automatically.

“I won’t let even one sword get you. You trust me, right?”

-I do.

‘We’re in sync.’

There were too many platinum-colored swords that filled the sky, but that didn’t mean there was no space at all.

It might’ve felt like a mission to dodge the rain, but Kim Hyunsung had enough power to realize it. If Kim Hyunsung got hit by even one sword…

‘I really am a crappy bastard. Fuck.’

-Divine punishment!

Countless swords began to fall from the skies, putting as many swords as possible in my eyes… No, I put all the swords I saw in my vision. For a moment, I felt that I was focusing so much that my head started spinning.

It seemed that I was concentrating enough to send bad thoughts to my head for a moment, but even those thoughts were blown away.

Time had seemingly slowed down. No, it seemed time had stopped. It was probably still going, but to me, it no longer flowed.

‘You can dodge the one falling towards your shoulder by twisting your body.’

The same went for those falling overhead.

‘I can see one falling on the back. You can dodge it, right? Can you see the space I pointed to? You have to twist there and knock that out. Ah. You’re taking down the one I’m seeing, but you have to knock what’s falling on top with it.’

Kim Hyunsung, who twisted his body, swung his sword. He was constantly looking above the sky with his feet stuck on the ground, unlike before when he drew a black line.

‘No. You can take down all of them. You are faster.’

He was faster than the swords falling from above.

He utilized his weapon while maintaining his posture. Even in that space where time seemed to have stopped, Kim Hyunsung’s sword was hard to watch.

Probably, to others, it would seem like that a hazy protective film was blocking Kim Hyunsung’s front.

-Judgement! Divine punishment!

‘You can do it. You can see everything. You know which one to take out first.’

He didn’t take his feet off the floor.

-Divine punishment!!! Divine punishment!!! Divine punishment!!!

Seeing him taking down all of his original sins he had committed, I smiled. It didn’t really mean much, but it was somewhat symbolic.

Booooooooom!

Craaaaaash!

Craaaaaaaaack!

Booooooooooooooooom!!

The swords smashing around were making a loud sound, but unfortunately, no sword touched Kim Hyunsung.

‘I think we got fucking stronger, Hyunsung, right? Fuck, we’re invincible.’

Kim Hyunsung was also looking at the scenery he made without a word. The trembling wings must’ve been an expression of joy.

It was a scene that gave even me chills. The way he was standing in the middle of a graveyard of swords was enough to please anyone.
