Chapter 1058 – 1058. Divine Authority
After regressing, the thing that troubled me the most was none other than the Suwol Guild.
I was confident in dealing with the Church of Light. I already had evidence, and in terms of force, they weren’t as formidable as the Suwol Guild. The Church of Light was unlikeable from the start. With evidence, it would be easy to persuade the Association.
On the other hand, the Suwol Guild was difficult to touch due to their social status and military power. If I recklessly antagonized them, I would be the one to suffer.
‘The Suwol Guild doesn’t know that I’m trying to bring them down. They don’t know I’m their enemy. I need to take advantage of that.’
I had to scheme without the Suwol Guild knowing.
And fortunately, I had a card for that.
Amatsuka Koyori. The Japanese S-class hunter who firmly believed I was the Wind God.
‘The biggest weapon I currently have is the future information from my regression. I can’t openly step forward, but… if I give a divine revelation in the form of a prophecy….’
I could increase Koyori’s standing.
Japanese politicians would also cling to Koyori. I had scared them by mentioning the destruction of Japan, so they had no choice but to believe.
‘If Japan doesn’t move as I want… I’ll have to deliver divine punishment as the Wind God.’
A terrifying divine punishment in the form of an epidemic.
[Epidemic Creation Card
You can create any epidemic you want.
The created epidemic will disappear after 30 days.
Price: 600,000 points
※Caution
Even after 30 days, the state of being infected with the epidemic will not be lifted.]
With this item, it was entirely possible.
‘First, I need to watch how Japan reacts.’
I believed Koyori would do well.
‘Next, I’ll use Japan to shower the Suwol Guild with benefits.’
The goal was to make the Suwol Guild commit corruption. The Suwol Guild members were proud and greedy bastards. They were already secretly trading with Japan, so they wouldn’t suspect anything.
‘I’ll feed them until they’re full, then expose them.’
Turning the Suwol Guild into traitors who deserved to be torn to shreds!
The Suwol Guild was a Korean guild. Korea, which had negative feelings and history with Japan! The public sentiment would plummet instantly at the act of treason related to Japan. Even with all their past achievements, treason towards Japan was a line crossed dozens of times over.
‘It’ll take some time, but I can wait that much.’

I came down to Busan with Park Suho. The Korean branch of the Church of Light was in Busan.
Openly infiltrating the Church of Light was not a good idea. All the branches of the Church of Light were in contact with the leader. Aside from Park Suho’s presence, I didn’t want to reveal my own.
“Hyung. The Goddess told me to be careful of the Church of Light.”
“I know. I’m being careful. That’s why I’m wearing this mask.”
We wore masks inside the car. We looked so suspicious that anyone would believe we were bank robbers.
There were two Church of Light buildings in Busan.
One was the training center. The place I had gone to before regression, and the other was the church. The entire four-story building was the Church of Light’s church.
“Hyung. But why are we going to the training center? Shouldn’t we go to the church?”
“It’s difficult to get inside the church. And from what I’ve seen, the hidden training center is more likely to be the real deal than the church, which is an open building.”
“That’s true. It’s easier to brainwash people in a hidden building than in a building on a city street.”
We parked the car at a distance from the training center building and got out.
“We’ll get caught if we get too close, so let’s walk from here.”
“Hyung, you seem familiar with this. You know the way well.”
“I did a thorough investigation.”
“You’re doing all this for me…. Thank you, Hyung.”
Park Suho looked touched. I smiled and patted his shoulder.
“I can’t just stand by while my precious younger brother is suffering. Be really careful from now on. From my investigation, the Church of Light is a very suspicious place. It reeks of danger.”
“I’ll be careful, especially with the Goddess’s warning.”
We arrived at the training center. We moved stealthily.
Our goal was twofold. One was to find and destroy the original sex party video of Park Suho. The second was to gather evidence of the Church of Light’s crazy actions and socially eliminate them.
‘This is reality, so I can’t just massacre everyone. And the real Church of Light isn’t here, so it doesn’t mean much.’
We broke into the training center building through a window, and we were greeted by walls with strange patterns. Patterns designed to brainwash people.
I quickly looked at Park Suho. Park Suho frowned and glared at the wall.
“That’s a nasty pattern. It seems to have a mental attack effect, since my head hurts.”
“From what I see, it’s probably brainwashing. You get brainwashed just by looking at it.”
“…If I hadn’t built the temple in my territory, it would have been really dangerous.”
Park Suho clicked his tongue.
We took pictures of the wall with a camera and moved stealthily again.
We went to the auditorium. The auditorium door was tightly closed. I smiled as I felt the presence beyond the door.
‘They’re using the auditorium, as expected. It doesn’t seem like a training session… but there’s no better place to pray than here.’
I opened the door just a little, enough not to get caught, and looked inside the auditorium.
Naked believers were bowing and praying towards a picture hanging in front of the auditorium. Men and women were all naked. On the platform was the seventh guide, Kang Jiwoo. She was also naked.
‘My blood is rushing to my dick. Tsk. It’s more painful because I know the taste of that pussy. Kang Jiwoo’s pussy wasn’t bad….’
But right now, I had no intention of getting involved with Kang Jiwoo.
I tapped Park Suho’s shoulder, who was staring blankly at the auditorium. I sent him a telepathic message.
-Let’s take evidence and retreat for now.
Park Suho, startled, nodded. His face was flushed. Unlike before regression, he was a virgin.
We hid in the forest near the training center and watched the auditorium. After a few hours, the crowd left the training center. The Church of Light believers were talking to each other as they headed to their lodgings.
“Are they really fanatics?”
“They look normal, but they’ve been brainwashed. You saw the brainwashing items all over the building. Don’t let your guard down. They live normal lives, but when it comes to the Church of Light, they suddenly change.”
“…Oh, those three people over there. Aren’t they the women from the video?”
“Three statues. That’s right. Your four girlfriends are passing by.”
“Ah, Hyung! Don’t tease me! There’s no way I’d like women like that!”
After confirming that even Kang Jiwoo had left the auditorium, I entered the auditorium with Park Suho.
“My gut tells me that the fanatics will use this auditorium again. So let’s hide in the auditorium until then.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to investigate other places?”
“We’ve already investigated enough places.”
The lodgings and dining hall were ordinary places. There was nothing strange even if we searched. The same went for the office.
“We can search the office at night. So let’s just wait calmly here for now. The auditorium is a great place to hide.”
The auditorium was large. There were many places to hide at the same time. Specifically, the storage room in the corner of the auditorium, or behind the curtain on the platform.
“Where are you going to hide?”
I nodded, pointing to the ceiling. The ceiling with curtains. It would be difficult for ordinary people to climb, but it was a different story for me and Park Suho.
As evening passed and night came, the believers entered. The believers became naked and began to pray. The managers walked around, lighting candles and creating an atmosphere.
‘They’re starting the ritual.’
Kang Jiwoo walked over. Me and Park Suho swallowed hard. Her appearance, as a failed idol, was very beautiful. Such a woman was walking confidently naked. As a man, it was impossible not to look.
Kang Jiwoo danced with a knife. Park Suho, who was staring blankly at her dance, soon hardened his face at the appearance of livestock and goblins.
“Hyung. Those are goblins…!”
“I know. Just watch quietly.”
Me and Park Suho had cameras recording the situation. Her knife, which had been performing a flamboyant dance, cut off the heads of the livestock and goblins.
There was a fishy smell of blood.
“Oh, fanatics! Save us!!”
“Save us!!”
The believers who finished the ritual put on their clothes and disappeared. Me and Park Suho revealed our hidden bodies after they disappeared.
“…The livestock and goblins were sacrifices, right? The Church of Light is a really dangerous place. You said this is a branch, right? Does the main church of the Church of Light… also do these kinds of rituals?”
“Of course, they do. It’s probably worse than this.”
They were probably doing it right now.
Killing humans kidnapped from all over the world every two hours.
We waited in the auditorium for about two hours. We waited for the believers to fall asleep. And late at night, we entered the empty office. We searched through the data, including the computers.
“I found it! Hyung! It’s the original video! These bastards! They synthesized this kind of video with me? Why me?!”
“Isn’t it because you… what was it? You were chosen by the celebrity or the Goddess? The Goddess said the Church of Light was dangerous. They know about you too.”
“…Brahmasen. That evil god must be behind it.”
It seemed the Goddess had also told Park Suho about Brahmasen.
Park Suho deleted the video without any suspicion. That original video was something I had sent using my hacking skills.
“Suho, let’s go back now. Ah, before we go back… we need to destroy these buildings.”
“Yes. The power to brainwash is too dangerous. And this place is too unpleasant.”
Park Suho’s voice was filled with anger.
I set fire to the building, and Park Suho began to smash the building with a hammer.
As the commotion arose, the believers who were sleeping in the lodgings woke up and ran towards us.
“Heretics!!”
“Put out the fire first!!”
“It’s them! Catch them!!”
“Oh, fanatics! Punish them!!”
The believers, who had seemed normal, turned their eyes and rushed towards us.
“Don’t kill them.”
“I’ll just knock them out.”
We knocked out the believers by hitting them. There were no Awakened, so it was easy.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!”
A piercing scream was heard. It was Kang Jiwoo. She was tearing at her hair and going crazy as she watched the burning building. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with madness.
“You heretics…!!!”
Her voice cracked. Kang Jiwoo ran somewhere and came out with a knife in her hand. And she ran towards us like a madwoman.
Her speed was not that of an ordinary person. It was so fast that I could be in danger if I wasn’t careful.
“Hyung! Let’s run away! I can feel the power of an evil god from that woman!”
“Yeah. We’ve done everything we need to, so let’s run away!”
We ran into the forest. The dark night. And the forest. It was easy to shake off Kang Jiwoo.
We got into the car we had parked and headed to Busan Station.
“Hyung. What do we do next?”
“We need to upload the video on the internet and report it to the Association. I’ll upload the video. You report it. Ah, say that you were the one who uploaded the video.”
“Me?”
“You’ll get a reward if you report it. It’s related to brainwashing.”
Park Suho, who had hundreds of millions of won in debt, was tempted.
“A reward…. Can I receive it? You worked hard too, Hyung.”
“I have a lot of money. You have debt. You need to pay it back.”
“…Thank you, Hyung.”
“It’s nothing. Just this much. Ah, it’s a secret that I’m involved. Got it? I hate getting into trouble.”
“Yes, Hyung. I’ll make sure you don’t get into trouble.”
With this, this matter had nothing to do with me.
And the next day.
South Korea was in an uproar.
A video of a ritual using livestock and monsters as sacrifices spread, and articles about brainwashing poured out.
In the 21st century, a pseudo-religion that performed sacrificial rituals and brainwashed believers was enough to heat up South Korea.
I found Kang Jiwoo on TV. Surprisingly, there was no mosaic. She was staging a protest against the police and Association staff at the Busan Church of Light.
“You, you cursed ones! The Fanatic will kill you all! Ah! Oh, Fanatic! Please kill all those heretics!”
Her eyes rolled back, and she swung her knife with the fanatics. An Association staff member’s arm was cut. Blood splattered. That video was broadcasted as it was.
“Suppress them by force!!”
“That woman! She’s an Awakened! Her power is not ordinary!”
“Don’t come! Don’t come! You’ll die if you come! I’ll die!”
“They poured oil! They poured oil on my body!”
“Oh, Fanatic! I’m dying!”
The highlight was Kang Jiwoo.
“Hehehehehe! Hehehe! Celbretina!!! You whore!!! The Fanatic will tear you to death!!!”
Completely out of her mind, she was drooling and swinging her knife wildly. It was clumsy swordsmanship, but her speed was not ordinary. Several Association staff members died on the spot.
But Kang Jiwoo was soon caught. Two A-class hunters stepped forward and subdued her.
“The end is coming! The end will come! You bugs! The only one who can resist the end is the Fanatic! Don’t forget!!!”
Kang Jiwoo’s eyes rolled back. Whether it was the power of the Fanatic or if she had taken some kind of poison, Kang Jiwoo died.
I shook my head.
