The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 4

Bang!! Quang-!!

At that moment, the illusion was shattered.

Quagga River–!!!

Purple lightning struck from all directions, and Gyu-ryu was busy running here and there trying to avoid it.

[How dare a human raise a blade against a statue? You look like you want to die right now.]

“I think you misunderstood who should be angry. “Shouldn’t you be surprised that I hit you, not angry?”

[…What?]

“This power is not a lie.”

[Why does that power reside in you? Even if he did regress, there is no way his past abilities would remain.]

“As expected… no matter how high my status is, I don’t think I know everything?”

Namgung sneered at him.

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s a reward for my tenacity in living through that hell. But what is certain is that this power will prove my return.”

Namgung said.

[If not a revealer, what are you?]

“Choi Hwi-soo. The revelation you will choose. “I inherited your power from him.”

[That’s interesting. Clue…yeah. On the one hand, I’m happy. We knew it instinctively. That the time axis has been twisted.]

‘You can feel the change, but you don’t know who it is.’

Namgung concentrated on extracting a little more information about his return from his words.

[Honestly, I was curious. Like you said, we don’t know everything.]

Kwagagagagagang—!!!!

Quagga River–!!

At that moment, like glass breaking, the area around where Namgoong was standing cracked and began to shatter into pure white pieces.

[Not just me, but everyone. However, the rumored 666666 returner who twisted the time axis in exchange for the head of the demon was my subordinate.]

It seemed like the tone of the voice had changed somehow.

“….”

The pitch-black darkness disappeared and a blindingly white space appeared.

[You deserve to have a conversation.]

The empty space was strangely creepy.

A boy was sitting on a throne in an empty place.

[666666 It’s a space-time formation of demons… There was definitely something like that. The guy who made it was probably the ‘Observer of the Sun and Moon.’ I thought it was a useless thing, but I never thought there would be someone who could accomplish it.]

One of the eight phases, an observer of the sun and moon.

He was the master of the Star Sea Sword and one of the most generous to mankind.

‘But even beings of friendly status are called observers.’

From that alone, one could guess how the Aspects view humans.

[I was curious when a returner who achieved a feat that seemed impossible would be revealed…]

The boy grinned.

[You came to me on your own like this. I’m so moved. But I feel bad. I have already decided on a revealer.]

He continued.

[The gates of hell open and 25 years of memories. It’s really attractive, but… there’s a reason for all of God’s decisions. If you were truly outstanding, you would have caught our eye early on.]

“Sometimes you survive because you are not outstanding.”

[I need someone who is outstanding rather than a dull person.]

The boy was small in stature, but the way he spoke towards Namgung made it seem like he was treating him like a child.

[You can, on the other hand, become a common enemy of the Aspects. That means it could be a worse starting line.]

Chwiik- Chwiik-!

There were snakes around the throne.

They all raised their heads high and stuck out their tongues, as if they were wary of Namgung.

[But why should you think I will choose you?]

“Because only then can you become the winner of this game.”

As Namgung said, if you think of this terrible apocalypse as a game, it was a simple task.

I don’t know why they are doing this.

Even if I knew the reason in the first place, it was meaningless.

It may just be a game to relieve boredom, or it may be a way to enjoy seeing creatures suffer.

But what is certain is that if you survive that hell, you can get some reward.

‘Aspects are players and they each choose eight avatars to represent themselves in the game.’

That is Palmuseong.

However, the game was not complete just because the players and characters were ready.

Last one.

It was the result of the game.

The winner.

Namgung lived for 25 years and found out that eight Aspects were competing with each other through this hell gate.

“I didn’t come to trade with you for my memories. “That’s just one condition.”

[Then?]

“You probably know the conditions of the construction team. “What does this mean that I have regressed?”

Namgoong added strength to his voice.

“It means that the one you chose, or the Revelators chosen by all Aspects, died sooner than me.”

Sang Sang’s eyes as he looked at him trembled slightly at the sight of his confident appearance.

“In the end, it has been proven that the strongest people are not those with outstanding talent, but those who survive to the end. “This alone is enough merit for you to choose me.”

Namgoong did not miss the change.

“I even know the future. “Is there any reason not to choose it?”

[Clark… You really have great guts.]

“If you don’t choose me, that’s fine. All I have to do is bring victory to other Aspects.”

He continued.

“Because I already know who the Revelator you will select is. “You will be the first to be eliminated among the eight Aspects.”

[My revelator? Are you threatening me now? What if I kill you here?]

“I won’t be able to do that.”

Namgung said to him.

“You guys are just fucking bastards who trampled on our peaceful lives…”

“I, Namgung… Calm down a little…”

Gyu-ryu noticed, feeling his heart sink as he looked at him. He looked at me and spoke carefully.

“I am not here to beg for your choice. Rather, I came to give you a chance.”

‘Has the mood changed?’

Gyu-ryu, who was watching the two, flinched at the energy he felt from Namgung.

“The country is going to choose someone else over the surest card of victory? Well, I hope you don’t do something stupid like that.”

[What about the rest of the phases? Not only me, but everyone knows the existence of regressors. And they will definitely doubt you.]

“The Aspects cannot be moved by suspicion alone. “That’s your rule.”

Namgung answered.

“No matter how much they suspect that I am a returner, the Aspects cannot tell it to their Revelator first, and they cannot directly harm humans without solid evidence.”

[Clark… you know very well.]

“Even if I say I’m a regressor, that’s not evidence. “You know best why.”

[Because, unlike God, humans can lie.]

“Yes.”

Grinning –

At that moment, the boy laughed.

[I like it.]

Just-!!

It was then.

The boy snapped his fingers.

Wooooow—!!

thud!!!

Then the space became distorted and someone came out of the portal.

“Where is this?”

At that moment, a man appeared, looking around with a puzzled expression.

“….”

Namgung looked at his appearance.

A man with unkempt hair wearing a headset. A messy beard that looks like it hasn’t been shaved in days and a t-shirt with a stretched neck.

Namgoong knew better than anyone else the man who was holding a wireless mouse in his hand and looking at him with a look on his face that seemed to have a screw missing.

‘Choi Hwi-soo….’

Namgung was stunned. It was hard to believe

that this man, who looked so shabby, had been carrying out terrible experiments on countless people for years, including the rare psychopath himself

.

‘Has the changed world made him crazy? Or did my instincts awaken thanks to the changed world?’

It didn’t matter what happened.

Because Namgoong, who has lived in hell for 25 years, does not have the trivial expectation that humans can change.

He knew better than anyone else how many people tried to deceive and deceive each other.

The one who must be killed first.

For Namgoong, it was the unchanging truth that it was Choi Hwi-soo.

Quang-!!

At that moment, Choi Hwi-soo’s body was crushed as if a huge pillar had hit him.

“…!!!”

There wasn’t even a scream, and only red blood began to splatter on the floor.

Namgung looked slightly surprised at that sight.

Revenge…

I didn’t have the same personal feelings.

‘Before the gates of hell open, monsters can never touch people.’

But indeed, the status was different.

He killed Choi Hwi-su without hesitation.

For the first time in a long time, Namgung raised his head, feeling the tension engulfing his entire body.

Strangely enough, the corners of his mouth turned up in a grin.

[I will change the revealer.]

Spurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!

As soon as his words left his mouth, a lead bracelet was placed on Namgung’s wrist.

[I will not follow you.]

A bracelet of a snake biting its own tail.

‘done.’

Namgoong grabbed the bracelet tightly, as if he was filled with new emotions.

▶ The one who handles the seven serpents acknowledges you.

▶ He became the serpent’s revealer.

▶ Go to the Revelator’s Privilege Serpent’s Treasury.

The vision reversed and a total of three doors appeared in front of Namgung. One was made of bronze, one was made of iron, and the other was made of gold.

A treasure trove of snakes.

Each phase had its own report.

The weapons contained therein were anything but ordinary, and each and every one of them was valuable.

[It is a gift to the revealer. Well, that’s the only door you can enter right now.]

The boy said, pointing to the bronze door.

‘Three Poison Gates (Three Poison Gates). I’ve heard about Choi Hwi-soo, but this is my first time seeing him in person.’

Namgung thought as he looked at the three doors.

[If you want something, you can take it. Because the eight future Revelators, including you, must become pioneers who will lead the people when Carnival begins.]

“Carnival… Do you call the day when hell began for us a festival? “That sounds carefree.”

[There is no need to be too sharp. As you said, the festival will start anyway and there is no way to avoid it. How about enjoying it?]

“…Enjoying it?”

Namgung felt like swearing would come out of his mouth, but he let out his anger in a deep breath and turned his head.

[Call me Jor.]

The boy said with a grin towards Namgung.

[It doesn’t really matter what the name is… If we’re together in the future, we have to have a title to call ourselves.]

He said, gesturing with his hands as if he was joking.

[Whether you like it or not, you are now in the same boat. Isn’t that right?]

“Yor…”

Namgung muttered his name softly.

After Choi Hwi-su died, Namgung was able to use his necromantic magic, but he did not know his name until he returned.

This was because he was not a revealer.

And now that I know his name….

‘It means that he has been recognized as a revealer.’

In a situation where he couldn’t tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, Namgung smiled bitterly.

‘It’s just the beginning. ‘Just use whatever is available.’

He pushed the bronze door as hard as he could.

▶ Entered Samdogmun – Dong (銅).
