"…"
Sukwon turned next to him. A man was kneeling down.
"You…"
He tried to speak, but he couldn't. They still the advantage in numbers. They needed to ready themselves and attack. He was probably bluffing. That's what he wanted to say, but he couldn't. He then realized Dohyuk was watching him.
"…!"
He was alone. Everyone else had knelt down.
"Are you going to fight?"
"I…"
At that moment, the rock Heeyun created disappeared. And when it did, Sukwon saw all the people kneeling down. It was probably driven by fear. No matter the reward, they did not want to lose their lives. And as they did so,, Sukwon knelt.

"I… lost."
They had already received 100 thousand coins. It was apparent that Aruga would be mad, but it didn't matter. The god's power had been destroyed with Dohyuk's one kick.
"and…"
Sukwon stuttered he bowed his head to the ground. He then raised both palms to the sky. It was a complete surrender.
"I swear my loyalty to you. M-my life is now yours and…"
It was the oath that the weak gave to the strong. It was their way of life in this world. The weak needed to bow and cower before the strong. It seemed the others were now trying to do the same. They did not care who they followed as long as their leader was stronger.
"…and I swear to the Great Emperor that…"
"I'm not the Great Emperor."
Dohyuk spoke and the air froze.
"W-What are you…"
"It's the truth."
Dohyuk looked at all the beasts.
"You want to serve me?"
"YES!"
"PLEASE! We will even die for you!"
It wasn't Sukwon who shouted. The other people around him tried to gain Dohyuk's favor. Dohyuk looked at them and turned. He then walked out as the people opened the path for him to walk. They were still shouting as Dohyuk walked past them.
"Great Emperor!"
"Please!"
Dohyuk then stopped. He was facing a vast desert. He then reached out and…
-Faith: 60042
The city appeared in front of him again.
"Oh…oh oh!"
People became astonished, but Dohyuk sternly said, "I don't need any servants. What I need… is a friend who has the same faith as me."
"…"
It didn't seem to mean much, but it didn't matter as long as it wasn't hostile.
"If you want to be with me, then go in."
Dohyuk pointed at the gate. Beyond the gate was the city view they could not witness in this world anymore.
"I promise you. There's no need to be strong. If you…"
Dohyuk looked down and continued, "Have will and determination, my city will accept you."
As he finished, people began running in. Everyone's destination was the same. Everyone thought the will and determination was the will to be loyal to Yoo Dohyuk.
"MOVE THE F*CK AWAY!"
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
There were other gates, but everyone stupidly rushed at the gate that Dohyuk pointed toward. There was no rule of first come first serve, but these people who were too used to it and they were eager to get in first. Chaos ensued at the gate as people fought against each other to rush in. Therefore, they were slow to realize the truth.

Dohyuk saw the messages pop up. The shouting died down and people began to stop. There were tens of people who just walked in, but the street beyond the gate was still empty. Among the people was Kang Sukwon.
"H-have you lied to us?!"
"…"
"We swore to be loyal…"
"I told you," Dohyuk repeated himself, "Loyal servants… I don't need all that."
He knew no one would be able to take a step into the city.
"Those that enjoy this damned world and thrive, I don't even want to stay next to you for a minute."
People began to object. There were even those who claimed that they did not like this world, nor god, as if they had heard about Dohyuk's history.
"SHUT UP!" Dohyuk shouted as he walked toward the gate.
"I don't need any bullsh*t. Walk into the city and prove it yourself. If not…" Dohyuk growled, "We can continue where we left off."
"....!!"
-Faith: 62259
There was no choice. People had no will to fight anymore. And besides, they were not in battle-ready formation now, they all were standing right in front of the gate. As Dohyuk walked toward the gate, people backed away.

The number of people decreased from 200 to 100. And now it dropped to two digits, but no one dared to walk up to Dohyuk.
"T-this is unfair!"
At the far back, Sukwon did not stop shouting. This was the worst scenario next to dying. If they were teleported out from the city, it seemed like they would be sent to random places.
"Even if we are not up to your standards, we will serve you to close the gap! We will be your dog, Great Emperor…"
"I'm telling you twice."
Dohyuk sped up, and the people backed away more. As Dohyuk jumped, there were only about a handful of people left. Dohyuk then kicked Sukwon.
"I'm not the Great Emperor.'
The last one, Sukwon, disappeared and Dohyuk turned to the message.
-Faith: 62642
No one was around.
-Faith: 62719
However, the number was going up. It seemed like the people who were just teleported were now spreading his words. This was the actual use of those people that Dohyuk thought about.
-Faith: 63219
Dohyuk then let out a sigh and slumped down. He was now relieved.
"Well, I couldn't do like it a bear."
Dohyuk had been afraid the entire time, and he just had been holding back. The result was a huge success, however.
-Faith: 65513
The number was increasing rapidly, but Dohyuk was watching beyond the numbers.
"There's…"
The streets were empty. Many people tried to get in, but no one was standing.
"No one…."
He didn't think it was possible, but seeing that many people failing to walk into the city…
Dohyuk stood up. He had to check to see if Heeyun was safe. Yet he heard a sound from beyond. It was the angel.
"Basil."
Dohyuk called out to the angel.
"Did you come to say something?"
-…No.
Basil shook his head.
-You… made a mess this time.
"Can I listen while I'm doing my work?"
-…
Dohyuk turned to the wall. Heeyun seemed to be safe. Another angel was talking to her.
"Go on. I'm listening."
-The Order under the Sun is a trial led by the god named Aruga.
"You mean Chickenhead."
-….The trial ends when you humans are approved by the High Priests of each city. It usually requires a generation of your time to finish.
"Is it okay to tell me that?"
-It's… irrelevant now. When that is done, another god takes their next turn. That is the usual plan.
Then, stronger gods take turns to help awaken Earth and gain followers in return. If the world progressed quickly, only two or three gods would come. No stronger god would be interested in such weak races. There were some who didn't even want to join. They just scattered a few of their items half-heartedly, hoping to possibly find a special one. The shrines represented that. Dohyuk knew this because he heard that from Kyuho, while Basil did not go into such detail.
-But this time… is different. The ones that join later… or those who don't join at all, are now interested in seeing how this will play out.
And most of that interest stemmed from this human.
"…I see," Dohyuk asked, "But didn't you say they were taking 'turns' for that?
-…
He was right. Even if they were a god, they had to abide by the system set forth by Lord God Casita. Without his permission, they couldn't do anything.
-The Lord God has given permission.
Basil did not hear that himself, but it was probably why four-winged angels were shocked.
"What happens next?"
-…Honestly, I'm not sure.
If all gods were allowed to come into this world to begin their own trials… this world was going to end up in chaos. It would be the War of the Gods.
"…"
Dohyuk spat, "It makes me sick to even hear it."
The thought of Aruga and the other gods coming in at once was disgusting.
"So when…"
Dohyuk then saw the sunlight vanishing. He looked up and there was something unbelievable happening in the sky.
-A…. already?!
It was night. It was so dark and bright with stars. It seemed like the entire space was upon them, but it wasn't beautiful. It was terrifying.
"…!"
There were silhouettes, figures looking down at this world from above. They were as big as other planets as they looked down.
"What…"
Dohyuk realized there was the divine being who had almighty power. And the one Dohyuk once defeated, or had to defeat now, was their leader.
"was I?"
Dohyuk then felt someone watching at him.
"…!!!"
Light shined around Dohyuk. He first thought he was being attacked, but he wasn't. Words, messages were sent down to him from the gods that were looking down at him. With the restriction lifted, they were now sending messages to Dohyuk, the most intriguing one. The Young God.

….
..
Dohyuk could barely his eyes. The variety of god powers shined in different colors, but Dohyuk couldn't close his eyes.
"…!"
He needed to fight back. This was just the start. He opened his eyes clearly and began reading each and every message. Or rather, he tried to.
"Huh?"
All messages immediately distorted and turned dark red. Then, there was the message with the hideous font.
It was…
[GET OFFFFFFFFYOU F*******CKINGB******TCHHHHHH!!!!!BASTAAAAAARRRDDDDSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!]
It was familar.
[HE'SSSSSSSSMINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
