Chapter 47
"…Choose . "
His voice wasn't loud . And with all the rocks that Heeyun made, there weren't many who could see Dohyuk either . Everyone listened .
"You can fight me . . . "
Everyone was standing still . They just witnessed the impossible .
" . . . or you will kneel before me . "
-Faith: 41123
"…"
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 .
-Faith: 42998
"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…
