Chapter 40
Dohyuk glared at the sculpture, prepared for anything that might strike back . However, Aruga did not respond . There was no voice coming to him, nor was the sculpture coming to life to fight him .
"…Are you scared?"
Dohyuk then turned away and looked at the bottom .
…
When Dohyuk spat on the sculpture, Cruudbi was outraged . This was heresy beyond what he could even imagine . He was kicked a few steps off the stairway but he wasn't injured, and he wouldn't be .
"You worthless heretic, how dare you touch the divine object with your filth!"
Cruudbi then tore off his armor with pure force . His muscles were revealed under the shining sun . He was part of the 1st generation of Bermurans who faced the trial of Casita and survived . As such, his loyalty toward Aruga was unmatched .
"I will…"
His body began to expand .
Zealotry . His anger was now driving his body to gather the strength to punish his enemy .
"Tear your arms apart…!"
Cruudbi was now 50% larger than his normal self, but as he tried to walk up, someone blocked him . It was Kyuho who was much smaller than Cruudbi .
"I see… I'll deal with you first . . "
"Shut up!"
Kyuho then threw off his turban . His face was revealed and it shocked Cruudbi . He was crying like a child who was just punished by his parents .
Cruudbi did not care, however . He did not need to ask why was he crying . Kyuho was going to die right here, right now . Cruudbi threw a punch . The speed and strength both exceeded that what of any human at this stage could withstand . However, Kyuho did not try to dodge .
"You…"
His fist did not hit the target . It was blocked, or rather, grabbed . Cruudbi tried to retract his arm, but he couldn't do that either . The strength holding him was just too great .
"W-WHAT!?"
"It's all because of you all… . !"
Kyuho growled, "You made me hit Dohyuk's face… . And . "
Kyuho then looked up .
[Hate Engine]
"You stabbed Dohyuk . "
Kyuho's body began to heat up . His Nature was activating . It was the Nature that he can never activate against Dohyuk .
-Increases user's strength/agility/stamina per the 'hate' rating against the target . High original stats will be boosted even higher . If the hate is stronger, the stats will grow exponentially .
Kyuho crushed Cruudbi's fist . He then raised his other hand and threw it .
When Cruudbi was hit, his body was thrown back, almost spinning if it wasn't for Kyuho holding his crushed hand .
"YOU BASTAAAAARD!!!"

Kyuho then began pummeling . Tens of fists were thrown at second, and Cruudbi's body began to shatter .
Even after the message popped up, Kyuho did not stop . He was now letting out a weird sound as he just kept thrashing against the already crushed body . But as he heard footsteps, he stopped and turned . The heat from his body disappeared and returned to normal .
"Dohyuk!"
He smiled brightly, "…? What's wrong? Did you get hurt?! Or did I hit someplace bad…?"
"…"
'No, it's because of you, you sick bastard . '
Dohyuk wanted to say it, but instead, he just shook his pale face .
"No, it's alright . "
"Really? Are you su-" Kyuho asked . Dohyuk then checked his 'Crescent' he was holding . Kyuho was a monster . But it was also him who saved Dohyuk's life and help him get the weapon .
"Good work . And… thank you . "
Dohyuk tapped on his shoulder, but immediately took off . He had to, as Kyuho's body began to shake tremendously right after .
"Heeeeehehehehehe . "
"…?!"

Not only that, Kyuho began mumbling with a weird expression as if he had just gone into a trance .
"I received it… he said thank you… he said… he said . . he said…"
Dohyuk turned away . He couldn't understand, but it wasn't the right time to be around him .
"I only only only only only heard six times until now…"
Dohyuk then walked down the stairs . The fence that Heeyun made was still intact . There were people on the other side, but they did not dare to come over . They all saw what happened upstairs . There was the Great Emperor and his Crescent Moon . Even those who did not know about Dohyuk and Kyuho, were shocked by what they just witnessed .
"Is that…"
"Even possible?"
Nobody dared to imagine . It took them 10 years in their previous life to wander the desert and finally walk into Bermuran cities to take their city . That's what everyone remembered . People believed they would reduce the time down to one or two years .
But this was not how they knew about it . This was the way that anyone with former memory would not even think about doing . Even Kyuho couldn't think of such a way .
Before Dohyuk could speak to those people, they heard a scream from the distance .
It was from the Bermuran guards . Unlike humans, there was a reason why these Bermurans were standing there without doing anything .
"I knew it . "
Dohyuk bit his lips as he watched tens of guards shaking with their veins popping out . Their 'god' was not going to just let this pass . That's when an invisible force began drawing guards into one giant ball . Their destroyed bones and flesh mixed with one another . Soon, something came out from within .
A giant 6-meter tall monster walked out from it . The bloodied figure looked exactly like the sculpture of Aruga . But it wasn't just a sculpture or shrine that brought god's spirit into this realm . This was the more expensive way that consumed many of his followers .

"And you said they're 'your precious citizens'?"
Dohyuk gritted his teeth . This one was the same . All gods were the same . They did not care who it was . All living beings were just consumables to them .
"Sure, we'll have a go then . "
Dohyuk stood . His legs shook in fear, but still-
"COME ON!"
At that moment-
-Over the Horizon
And the people turned . They saw Dohyuk and heard his voice, ready to fight against the monster that no one in this current stage could ever hope to defeat .
For one, they forgot about running . They were beasts, but still had the feeling of admiration . This was a sight to behold .
>
And with these words, Dohyuk felt surging energy within him . This was the feeling that even the Great Emperor in the previous life had not felt .
