Chapter 110
-Faith: 29,108,334
When Dohyuk first opened the status window, he couldn't believe what he was seeing . This was unlike any amount he had ever been able to collect .
"It's not a prison, but I have few things to discuss regarding the laws . "
"Law? You mean the rules?" Giwon shook his head . "Is the rule you speak of about the one you told me before? The one where you use the faith you have to change the city's rule…"
"Yeah . "
If he had enough faith, Dohyuk could shape the rules of the city to suit his taste .
"I gave some thought to it . These people inside the city have already been sorted out through the rule for the entrance . They, except me, have not killed anyone nor do they intend on doing so . "
He was right, but that didn't mean Dohyuk was going to let the city stay that way without any laws . People will not live in an orderly fashion just because they admired and feared Dohyuk .
"I don't think I have such charisma . "
Dohyuk wasn't the type to be arrogant or overestimate himself . It was common for people to feel doubtful and have complaints even if they had leaders to follow .
"I agree… not about the charisma part . " Giwon smiled and continued, "We have a lot of people here, and we need laws to govern them . Human beings are far from being orderly . You don't need to do that by wasting your faith . "
Dohyuk then realized what Giwon was trying to say . It was the choice that Dohyuk thought was impossible to achieve by himself .
"So, you propose on writing laws to govern people?"
Forming a society was not an easy thing, and having people accept it was much harder than fighting a monster .
"It might be pointless now…" Giwon spoke hesitantly . "But I was a judge of a court . "
"…A judge?"
"It was a long time ago," Giwon replied . Dohyuk looked at him in shock . It was a very old memory to Giwon, but to Dohyuk, who had no memory of his previous life, it was amazing to see a man in his late 20s or early 30s as a judge .
"You… were smart?"
It was pointless for him to actually say that, but it was still astonishing .
"I only worked for 2 years . The illumination started right about the time I had adjusted to the work . "
"Oh… that's a shame," Dohyuk sighed . "So, you wish to become a judge in this city?"
"It's more like…"
This wasn't the Republic of Korea . It had been a long time, and although Giwon's knowledge was intact, there was no way to apply it to the city in the same way .
"Jung Ilgyu was far from the rules . "
He even refused a few basic rules that could be created easily because he was annoyed . That's why Giwon felt like he would control things better if he took the wheel .
"Honestly, I wanted to drive Ilgyu out and take control, but I couldn't do it so I only thought about it . "
Even now, Giwon was not in charge . Unlike Jung Ilgyu's case, Giwon trusted Dohyuk and followed him wholeheartedly . The concept of right and wrong was also different as Dohyuk agreed to have order .
"Of course, this is your city . There will be no law that is set in place that you do not like . Every law will be approved by you . "
Four floors down later, Dohyuk brought the topic back up .
"How long do you think it will take? To have… the basics? To set them in place . "
"For basic peacekeeping and executive orders set in place, we can have it all ready by tomorrow . "
"…What?"
"I worked on some investigations with Heeyun's help while you were asleep . "
Among those 30 thousand people, most of them had jobs in the old world and some worked for the federal government, like the police, firemen, or politicians .
"I've finished interviewing everyone already . They were very passionate about the work even when nothing had been decided yet . "
All of them had zero ability to fight . That's why they did not last too long in the previous life, but that worked out well in this case . Since they didn't live too long in the previous life, they were happy to be involved in the jobs they used to have before .
"If you allow me to do so, I will do my best to achieve it . "
It didn't take long for Dohyuk to give him an answer .
Sounds of astonishment were heard . The person of interest was Dohyuk of course .
As he walked across the city to go outside, he heard all sorts of astonished gasps everywhere . He understood why, but it was still hard to get used to it .
"Didn't know you were such a shy boy," Yuri said to him . "You can just enjoy it . I mean, it might be a bit awkward at first, but it'll feel good soon . "

"…I'll think about it . "
Yuri was still outside the city . She wasn't allowed into the city like Giwon, but even if she was allowed, she wouldn't spend much time inside anyway .
She was the overseer of the cross . Her duty was to watch those who were hung up on the crosses so there were no escapees .
"Look at your face — you look sick… but wait a minute…"
Dohyuk ignored Yuri scanning his body in a weird way .
"I have some business with Ilgyu . Can he talk?"
"Probably?" She shrugged and tipped her head over toward Jung Ilgyu's direction .
"I'm not sure if he's going to talk . He's apparently 'not happy' . "
The meaning behind her words was obvious . Dohyuk couldn't see it through the window, but after he went down, the area around the crosses was littered with various pieces of trash . The debris consisted of living necessities, foods, and even human waste .
"Who…"
"Probably everyone?" Yuri responded casually .
"Isn't it weird to not feel anything about them? Those new people from the outside probably have a lot of scores to settle . "
Scores to settle . The life these people endured was indescribable . They were sentenced to death from the beginning and were both witness and victims of those who had fallen to become a piece of property or a tool .
"I mean, I can't say much about the slave issues, but at least I don't have any slaves here… and I think it would be a different story to be a slave under Jung Ilgyu . "
Dohyuk turned . It was easy to figure out where Jung Ilgyu was being held . He just needed to find the place with most filth . Dohyuk moved over .
'Terrible . '
Dohyuk thought he was now an entirely different person other than his face — at least in physical form, but so was Jung Ilgyu . There was no terrifying presence that surrounded him . The body that had been torn and ripped apart was bony and had countless open wounds, with no blood flowing from them .
Dohyuk stopped right in front and Ilgyu's head rose up slowly as he spoke .
"You… better… think… this… straight…"
For all the time he had been hung up, he seemed to have been threatening and snarling against people who scoffed and threw filth at him . It seemed Ilgyu was still his arrogant self .

"You piece of…"
Ilgyu barely looked up and-
"a…"
"A?"
He froze .
"Come on, I'm listening . "
Dohyuk spoke with a cold voice, but there was no answer .
"Is he too tired to speak?"
"Uh… I don't think…"
Yuri's voice was shaking . She was half laughing even . It seemed like she was mixed with a feeling of disbelief and something else .
"He's…"
Yuri had seen a countless number of frightened people, but this was one of a kind to witness .
"Afraid of you…"
The Tyrant, who was frozen in place, was looking at Dohyuk in shock .
"W-what are you . . you b*tch…!"
Ilgyu then turned against Yuri and snarled . Yet, he did not turn back to Dohyuk .
"I heard you lost twice before I killed you . "
Swordmaster of China and Cactus Bill of Australia . Two super powerful beings allowed Jung Ilgyu to live . For Ilgyu, they were much more terrifying than Dohyuk, who 'killed him luckily' .
"I now see why you tried so hard to go to China . "
"What…"
"You are a f*cking coward . "

He called himself a tyrant, or the strongest of the south, but in the end, he was a coward .
"You wanted to believe that you are different . After you survived the fight then, you probably tried to justify it . That you weren't afraid . Well… I guess you couldn't lie to yourself . "
"Shut up!"
Tyrant screamed with a hoarse voice .
"That b*tch… is talking nonsense… I'm…"
Ilgyu was then forced to stop . Dohyuk's hand had strongly grabbed hold of his cheek .
"Do you know that I learned one thing from you?"
"The way a god earns fear from people isn't only by faith," Dohyuk said as he glanced at the number .
-Faith: 29,358,334
It was the number that increased tremendously ever since he faced Jung Ilgyu .
Fear .
The source of power that granted these gods their power .
"I knew, but it didn't strike me until now . I don't think I can ever be feared, but I think I kind of get it now . "
Fear of humans .
Trusting the beasts .
"I'm curious - between the Swordmaster, Cactus Bill, and me, who you fear the most?"
He didn't need the answer . Whatever the current answer was, it was going to be switched with Dohyuk on the top soon enough .
"Look . "
Dohyuk put his hand out and gestured across the empty land .
There was the labyrinth of Blass, the structure that would now serve as a prison .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
