[That bastard…!]
Divine Realm.
The Sun God, who had been looking down at the Human World through the AI System screen, shot up from his seat.
To devour the body of a subordinate he had shared power with and descend!
Just from breathing once on the ground, one corner of the sky had already turned pitch black.
The Sun God’s face contorted hideously at the sight of screaming children.
The Sea God, who had been sharpening his spear blade on one side, also frowned.
[That crazy bastard has completely lost it. It’s not like he doesn’t know what happens when you directly descend to the Human World.]
Whether god or ‘Evil’, absolute beings must not descend carelessly.
If they breathe even once wrongly, all life forms on earth die.
Of course, if it’s ‘Evil’, he would want that, but the real problem isn’t just this.
[Since he failed anyway, is he planning to kill everyone and die himself too?]
Why would the Divine Realm and Human World be separated?
Because humans cannot live in places filled with divine energy, and gods cannot remain in the Human World, which is infinitely lighter compared to the Divine Realm.
If they’re not careful, even gods will perish along with the planet.
This was precisely why the Three Sovereign Gods had no choice but to entrust the painful battle to humans.
‘Evil’ is not a god, but another absolute being born from malice and hatred.
He too could perish, yet he makes such a choice.
[He must have learned through the conversation between Lute, Ordel, and Jin. Though he can’t remember, this world has rewound time once, and in the disappeared timeline, he nearly made us all submit and devoured the world.]
The Annihilation God’s eyes had also sunk slightly.
[And the fact that the reason he failed was because of one human.]
The Annihilation God looked at Lute Sieri reflected on the system screen.
Though it was the Three Sovereign Gods who desperately crawled out of death and joined hands, it was all thanks to Lute Sieri that they could rebuild a new world.
If he hadn’t stolen ‘Evil’s’ memories and made them perish along with his own body, they would have tasted failure once again.
No matter how strong one’s will, it would have been impossible without talent comparable to a god.
[It’s not just Lute Sieri. It’s thanks to the wishes of all the children who wanted revenge against ‘Evil’.]
At the Sun God’s words, the Annihilation God and Sea God looked at him.
Short golden hair with slightly blackened tips, a right eye sparkling like a golden lake and a left eye dyed pitch black.
No matter how many times they saw it, it was an appearance they couldn’t get used to.
The Sun God, who originally had long, soft golden hair that dragged to the floor and beautiful golden eyes, changed to his current appearance.
On the day he desperately crawled out of death.
For gods who live eternity with unchanging appearances, a change in appearance is nothing short of humiliation.
The Sea God with blue hair and blue eyes resembling the deep sea, or the Annihilation God with black hair and black eyes resembling the universe, remained the same in appearance as their essence didn’t change even after experiencing great events.
Only the Sun God, who was affected so greatly that the system directly changed his modifier, had changed, but he felt no humiliation.
He didn’t waste emotions on such trivial things.
Every time he saw his blackened eyes and hair, he swore revenge.
He gritted his teeth, vowing to take revenge on the one who drove him to despair, mocked the children he loved, and destroyed the world he protected with all his might.
He said he didn’t care if he lived eternity with his changed appearance, as long as he could kill ‘Evil’.
There was a reason the AI System changed the Sun God’s modifier to ‘Sun Risen from Death’.
[…Yes, you’re right. All the children’s wishes ultimately drove ‘Evil’ to this point.]
[But the real ‘Evil’ can’t be stopped by human wishes. What will you do?]
The Sea God gripped his spear and shield tightly.
He looked ready to descend to the Human World immediately and pierce a hole in ‘Evil’s’ throat.
But that was just his feelings; he couldn’t actually go down.
[It’s okay. The children won’t die easily. Rather, only those children will be able to kill our hateful enemy.]
[How can humans do what we can’t?]
At the Sun God’s words, the Sea God’s face scrunched up.
The Annihilation God scolded such a Sea God.
[You gained the opportunity to kill him thanks to that human, yet you still look down on humans. How long do you plan to continue this? Now I’m starting to feel sorry for your children.]
[You’re making me sound like an ungrateful wretch. I’m worried those children might die, right now.]
At the Sea God’s words, the Annihilation God and Sun God looked at him with surprised faces.
[This is the first time you’ve called humans children. Indeed, whether human or god, everyone changes the same way after dying and coming back to life.]
[Stop the useless talk and just answer. How exactly are those children supposed to kill ‘Evil’?]
The Three Sovereign Gods looked at the system screen.
The hateful ‘Evil’ in Feliks’s body was threatening the children they loved.
[We cannot descend to the Human World, but that doesn’t mean there are no methods at all.]
The Sun God reached out to the system.
A gentle, soft light befitting his past modifier ‘Gentle Beacon of Hope’ emanated from his entire body.
Though he was now ‘Sun Risen from Death’, his essence remained the same.
A beacon that brightly illuminates the children and world he loves.
This time too, he would light the way forward for the children.
[May this light guide you.]
The Sun God’s light seeped into the system.
The Sea God and Annihilation God, who had been watching, also shrugged their shoulders and reached out.
[May the unstoppable momentum of the great sea be with you.]
[The courage to not lose your way even in darkness.]
Golden, blue, and black light slowly seeped into the system.
Now the fate of the Three Sovereign Gods rested in those children’s hands.
If the children failed, this time they would truly perish completely.
Still, they weren’t afraid at all.
They had already entrusted their fate to humans when they achieved time regression.
Lute Sieri, Joo Hyun-jin.
And Cha Siwon.
Knowing the greatness of children who become stronger than anyone when the three are together, they could believe and wait.
[Children, you have already saved us many times. Your destiny symbolizes victory, so lead us all to victory this time as well.]

I couldn’t breathe.
Just from facing him, my eyes burned hot and my mouth went completely dry.
This was fear itself.
“Isn’t descending crossing the line?”
I couldn’t move at all under the crushing pressure weighing down my entire body.
“Damn it.”
“Kuk…”
Not just me, but Jin and Lute couldn’t move either.
It was good that we sent Bizra and the guard knights far away.
If we were like this, they might have burst and died rather than endure if they had been here.
As expected, he’s on a different level from those who borrowed ‘Evil’s’ power.
To feel with my whole body that he’s a being from a completely different dimension, one level above us.
This feels so disgusting.
〖Insignificant insects.〗
One word.
Just one word.
The bizarre and terrible voice flowing from the throat that had been cut once made even people far away collapse to the ground.
Faces dyed with fear had already lost their fighting spirit.
〖Mere vermin, dare to try to humiliate this body?〗
“Huk, huk!”
“S-save me…”
‘Evil’ raised his hand.
His mouth tore open even wider, and not just fangs but all his teeth sprouted up like a monster’s.
His arms and legs turned pitch black and hardened as if wearing armor. Five more horns sprouted from his head.
Even his body grew larger. The creature, now well over 3 meters tall, looked like a demon from hell itself.
〖I will kill them all, every last one, without leaving a single survivor.〗
Foul energy erupted from behind Evil’s back.
The moment the pitch-black mist gathered into a round mass.
Kyaaaaaaak! Kiaaaak!
Terrible screams of monsters could be heard from beyond it.
Damn it. What I’d dealt with so far wasn’t everything?
There were still that many more left?
〖Go. Go devour them, kill them. Destroy the world.〗
Kyaaaak!
Monsters began frantically squeezing out of the pitch-black gate.
If we stay like this, if we stay like this, we’ll all die.
But my body, still crushed under Evil’s aura, wouldn’t move even a little.
‘But System, you’re different. You can move!’
At least you activate!
【Activating Stigma ‘Radiance’!】
Light of the sun burst forth from my entire body.
“Hueok!”
Finally able to breathe, my body could move.
I immediately poured Radiance’s flames onto the gate.
While the monsters were engulfed and burned by the flames, I quickly bound all allies near Evil, including Jin and Rute, with divine power and threw them back.
Everyone except me.
“Cha Siwon!”
“Ordel!”
Jin and Rute immediately screamed.
The two who had been thrown tried to rush toward me right away.
Bang, kwang!
Evil erected a wall with his dark energy.
So no one could approach.
The wall that surrounded us in a circle made me feel as if I was standing face-to-face with an enemy in the middle of a colosseum.
But here there was no audience, and reinforcements were hard to expect.
Sorry, Jin, Rute.
I don’t want to do dangerous things either.
But if I retreat too, that bastard will definitely chase after us.
〖Your spirit of sacrifice is remarkable.〗
Evil looked down at me, now alone.
“Being praised by a demon bastard feels really shitty.”
I gritted my teeth and smiled.
〖As Feliks said, I should tear that mouth of yours first before devouring you.〗
Evil, who approached in an instant, grabbed my jaw.
My cheek scratched by his claws hurt.
〖Do you know how much I’ve wanted to eat you? The Sun God’s power thoroughly soaked into your skin, every strand of your hair, must be truly sweet.〗
Evil smiled with satisfaction and opened his mouth wide.
Between his exposed teeth appeared a pitch-black, long, utterly disgusting tongue.
Ugh, if that disgusting thing touches my body, I think I’ll faint before dying.
“Hey, your breath stinks. Feliks didn’t smell, so why do you reek like this?”
I scrunched up my face.
