---

Muyoung was trapped inside the shell.

To be exact, you could call it a cocoon.

It was in the midst of a  transformation to assimilate a new type of strength.

This type of phenomenon occurred when Muyoung completely grasped Luciferre’s soul.

‘Taking in the divinity in my body.’

Although Muyoung was together with Luciferre, he couldn’t use Luciferre’s divinity.

At most, he could only ‘imitated’ it.

If Muyoung was immortal, he shouldbe able to exhibit true divinity.

But, currently, Muyoung was in the process of becoming immortal.

He had fully absorbed Luciferre’s soul. He had opened the door Luciferre had locked and forcefully took over the house after he had entered.

It was absurd to Luciferre, the owner of the house, but he was currently fully dissolved by Muyoung. His soul was shredded by the raid of Muyoung and reborn again.

Now, in Muyoung’s house… he had become Muyoung’s.

And Muyoung was going through the process of shedding to renovate the house to match him. A transparent egg was created and Muyoung was in the center of it.

With his eyes closed, without any consciousness.

‘To become divinity itself.’

He repeated it as if it was a mantra. He felt as though he was immersed in a cloudy dream since Muyoung couldn’t move his body like he wanted to.

And in that process, a new strength surged.

It was ‘Gabriel’s strength’.

The incorruptible strength started to threaten Muyoung’s soul.

Perhaps… Gabriel’s strength has justified that becoming immortal was ‘corrupt’.

Well, it would be just for a mortal to become immortal.

An unexpected variable. The change continued unstably.

Although it wasn’t stopped, Gabriel’s strength resisted strongly. It couldn’t accept a mortal ascending into immortality.

However, it was helpless to stop the change itself.

As the skin of immortal Luciferre combined with the soul of Muyoung, a robust membrane was created.

On the other hand, Gabriel’s strength was weakened.

So, he made another move.

If a mortal turning immortal was corruption, he just needed to make the soul compatible to an immortal being. He was forcefully trying to rewrite his soul onto Gabriel’s strength.

In other words… he started to make a being that was Muyoung, but not Muyoung.

If he couldn’t stop it from interfering, he was going to change the content of it.

From a certain perspective, it could be perceived as though Gabriel’s actions are steering Muyoung  towards the best path of becoming a ‘true immortal’. Should he succeed in following the guidance of Gabriel’s strength, Muyoung could become a ‘true god’.

A being that surpasses Archangel Gabriel and a god who rulesHeaven!

Of course, the content would be ‘something great’ other than Muyoung but at least, he would be able to obtain pure divinity.

But, a perfect god doesn’t have any desires.

Perhaps when he becomes a true god, Muyoung would end all work.

He might ascend as is and even create his own ‘world’.

All the strength Muyoung had at his disposal could make it a reality.

‘Gain divinity.’

However, the current Muyoung had a weak consciousness. It meant he could only move in the way Gabriel’s strength lead him.

Gain divinity!

The change had already ended. Muyoung’s body was successful in transplanting the skin of the immortal.

However, he was still unable to change the content within it.

A true deity who has the skin and the soul of a god was being born.

Muyoung’s soul was slowly transforming into ‘another great spirit’.

So slowly that even Muyoung himself couldn’t realize.

His expression changed.

An expression that seemed completely gentle.

It was an expression Muyoung had never shown before.

‘Empty.’

Life was extremely short. Even if he had come back, he didn’t even live a 100 years.

By looking at the world Muyoung had experienced until now, it was trivial.

They were things that he could only express as empty.

Emotions were also the same. Emotions were a double-edged sword that could scour everything.

If everything could be erased…

It was at that moment.

“Mister!”

Tap! Tap!

From the outside, someone touched the egg.

However, it was blocked by a thick wall.

In this process, the intrusion of something external was not allowed. No matter who the opponent was, it was impossible to pierce through this egg.

That should be the norm.

“Mister, please don’t disappear!”

A girl who tapped the egg, Suzy was in a hurry.

The ‘Lineage of Light’ Suzy had was a strength that made all choices run evenly and correctly. In fact, all of Suzy’s stats were the same. This was the power of the Lineage of Light.

It also maximized one’s senses and prevented them from going the wrong way.

The sense that was activated due to the Lineage of Light was telling him this.

The six senses. Although they were primitive and instinctive senses, they transcended everything and told the truth.

If he continued like this, he would disappear…

He didn’t know how he would disappear. But, he needed to prevent it from continuing any further.

“Please, please…!”

For a moment, Suzy’s hands started to shine.

The ‘Lineage of Light’ had responded to ‘Gabriel’s strength’.

They were both similar but different strengths. However, the ‘part that made them similar’ created confusion.

Gabriel’s strength was now weakened. And Muyoung was putting all his efforts into transforming his soul.

Gabriel’s strength mistook Suzy’s strength of light as the same kind.

In that state, Suzy entered the egg.

Suzy didn’t panic and decided on what she needed to do next.

She forcefully dragged Muyoung’s body outside of the egg.

Swoosh! 

As soon as Muyoung left the egg, the structure collapsed.

It became plain ‘water’ and fell on the floor.

“Cough! Cough!”

Suzy who turned her head from side to side instantly turned her gaze to Muyoung.

“Mister, are you…”

But, she couldn’t continue to speak.

Surprisingly, Muyoung had already opened his eyes.

It was because Muyoung became conscious the moment when the Suzy broke into the area.

If Suzy was slightly late, Muyoung’s spirit would have evaporated as is. He would have forgotten all the joys and lived as a ‘great vessel’.

“It was dangerous.”

Even Muyoung realized this.

To be exact, he realized this the moment he woke up.

‘I nearly lost everything.’

A great vessel?

A true divinity?

It’s good. All good. But, it was more important for him to not forget himself.

There was no meaning in gaining strength if he wasn’t himself.

If Suzy was a bit late, he would have lost what was most important to him.

‘I’m Muyoung.’

Muyoung decided to live the present.

His name itself was proof of his commitment.

Forgetting his resolution was like becoming a living corpse.

It was better for him to be dead.

‘Gabriel’s strength…’

Muyoung thought about the process.

Gabriel’s strength malfunctioned and tried to make Muyoung’s spirit noble.

Was it because the definition of ‘corruption’ was different even though he didn’t want it?

However, rather than becoming noble, Muyoung liked the trenches more. At least in the trenches, he was able to always feel alive.

“You are mister Muyoung, right?”

Suzy spoke in a quiet voice.

Muyoung knew of Suzy. He had met her close up when he attacked the Great City with Ellarsigo.

“How are you here?”

“I followed your trace. I want to ask you about a lot of things. I have a lot of questions but…”

Suzy was in tears.

Then, she leapt towards him and hugged him.

“I’m glad. I thought you were disappearing.”

Suzy cried out loud.

It wasn’t simply because she met him again.

Sadness, yearning, and all the complex and suppressed emotions she had overflowed  when she saw Muyoung.

Muyoung stayed still.

Even though he stayed still, he was able to ‘empathize’ with Suzy’s emotions.

‘Did I evolve?’

Not just that.

Although he stayed still, he felt like he was able to find out all the things that were happening within a several kilometre radius.

The sound of living things breathing, and everything could be felt.

Even the cry of war and the thick scent of blood.

And…

‘Divinity.’

He also gained divinity as a demigod. He had become half immortal.

Although he couldn’t become a true god, Muyoung understood what that meant. He stood in the middle with one foot on each side.

It could be said that he was the sole one and only.

He was able to hear the voice of small land. And naturally, understand the flow of air.

Above all, his ability to ‘empathize’ had greatly increased.

He was just able to know.

Just by staying still, he knew.

The emotions of Suzy were intense. It was at a level that was not lacking when compared with the passion of a newborn who just came out into the world.

‘Although I couldn’t completely fulfill it, the contents still exist.’

Muyoung was so close to becoming a god.

Although he was unable to gain true divinity that created the world and put everything under it, it meant that he still had a few of its contents.

Although he wasn’t omnipotent, it was possible to show similar appearances in specific areas.

It was a harmony made by mixing Luciferre’s, Gabriel’s, and immortal’s strength.

It was enough. Rather, it was the best outcome.

As it was the result he received while he protected himself.

“I need you to help me.”

Muyoung stretched his hand out.

Then, he touched Suzy’s forehead.

Although it was little, Muyoung’s strength started to pass over.

The light emitted from Suzy’s whole body and her physical ability started to rapidly increase.

It was only possible because it was Suzy. As Suzy entered the egg Muyoung was in before he finished his transformation, she was able to be in sync with him if only a small measure.

Also, it was possible because of the ‘Lineage of Light’.

Suzy stopped crying.

And with a surprised face, she spoke.

“How, how did you do that?”

“I will let you know once the fight ends. There are a lot of things you need to know.”

Things related to Bae Sungmin and the reason why he attacked the Great City.

Suzy had the right to know.

And so, there was a reason why Suzy had to follow Muyoung.

Or he needed to kill her.

The only person who could ‘psychomance’ with him had now become Suzy.

In other words, she was now able to make Muyoung confused as well as give him security.

“I think I know what I need to do. Balrog… I can hear voices in the surrounding. What kind of magic did you use?”

“I’ll let you know when after this ends.”

Muyoung sat down.

After his transformation, he gained new strength but he needed time to recover.

He wanted to conceal and save his strength for his fight with Enroth.

Suzy would be a great help.

Suzy gulped her saliva.

For some reason, Muyoung’s voice seemed so kind. Like her father.

Could it not be him?

‘He is mister.’

It was true. Just, he was able to ‘empathize’. It was natural for someone to seem nice if they empathize with them.

“Don’t go anywhere.”

“I’ll be here.”

“Then… I’ll be back.”

Suzy lowered her head.

As she was able to release her emotions, she felt stronger.
