Chapter 60
"City!"
"The buildings are still there too!"
People shouted in joy at the view of the modern city appearing from afar . Some were even on the verge of crying . It wasn't Busan, but it was still a remnant of their old world .
"At least they seem to like it . "
"It's pitiful for me to see it from this view . "
There was one Bermuran walking alongside Dohyuk . It was the High Priest, but he was being controlled by Aruga who had agreed to the bet . Therefore, he decided to travel with Dohyuk in a physical body to witness it himself . As thousands of people walked into the city, a girl walked up to Dohyuk . It was Heeyun .
"Who are these people?"
Dohyuk then explained everything that happened in quick, summarized version . Heeyun didn't seem to understand everything, but she understood the important point .
"So… We now have about two thousand more people in our city?"
"Yeah . "
"B-but this…"
Before she could finish speaking, people were shouting inside . It looked like Heeyun knew what was going on even before going to check . They walked inside to find out what was going on, and they were followed by a smirking Aruga .
"Don't touch any of the stuff here!"
The conflict was simple . It was a fight between the people who came in a few hours ago and those who had just arrived . People occupied the central area of the city even without anyone telling them to do so . There were enough spaces for everyone to go around, but the problem was the food . That's why the people who were here were blocking the newcomers in search for food .
"This ain't your place!"
"I'm just telling you all to wait out, so we can save the food!"
Not everyone was fighting though . It was only about ten of them .
"Enough!"
Heeyun shouted and the people became silent .
"And who are you to say…"
A newcomer tried to fight back at Heeyun, but quickly became silent at sight of Dohyuk beside her . The people then turned to Dohyuk as they did not know the rules of the city . Dohyuk needed to decide on the rules .
"You can take all the food you want . "
"If you haven't taken the food you need yet, you can take any of the food or water . "
"B-but…" A man with a husky voice turned toward Dohyuk . He was one of the people that had just arrived in the city a few hours ago . Before he could speak, Dohyuk continued, "But just remember one thing . "
He glanced at everyone .
"Other than all of you, everything else in this city belongs to me . "
It was just being provided as a token of Dohyuk's hospitality .
"So you must know how funny it is that you people are fighting over my property . "
The newcomers brightened up, but the middle-aged man didn't seem to be pleased .
"…I-is there an infinite amount of food?" The man was hesitant, but he voiced his complaints . "I get it that it is your city . It was an empty one… and you are the strongest . That's why you are trying to act a leader…"
His reaction was normal . Unlike the new group, he didn't witness Dohyuk kicking the ray of light or burning down the whole forest .
"I don't have a problem with that… but shouldn't we be wiser? We won't last a month with all these people…"
Dohyuk wasn't oppressing them . He was strong but reasonable . However, that could also be considered as gullible .
"and… I don't know why, but that forest is all burned up . We don't have any plans to get more food . I mean, if we are strong like you, we'd have a way… but us? We have to worry about food . "
Dohyuk heard a quiet cackle coming from behind . Aruga whispered to him .
"He's a talker . There's always one… who makes a mess . "
He was amused .
"What will you do now? I think you only have one choice . Set an example . Kick him out or kill him . If you weaken your power with 'Mercy', it will multiply . "
It was as he said . People were looking at Dohyuk to hear what he had to say .
"Now, show me . Prove me wrong . If you have a way to supply food, then do it," Aruga smirked . "You will need to see blood . "
In the end, this was the answer . It was the answer that everyone returned to, and the gods knew it was true .
Dohyuk then walked up . The man backed away, thinking Dohyuk was going to kill him . Yet he walked right past the man and arrived at the crossroad in the dead center of the city .
Dohyuk then raised his hands .
Crazy Lunch Box(Lv . 11)
He vomited an object that he 'ate' before .
"This . "
It was a shiny orb that was the size of a human .

"This is what I brought form that forest . "
Dohyuk did not even know that this thing existed . It was an item he couldn't 'Digest', but when he checked the description, he came to one conclusion .
[Core of Grava's Divine Tree . The tree receives energy from all living beings within the forest…]
Dohyuk then stamped on the ground and destroyed the pavement . Then, upon the sand that appeared beneath, Dohyuk rolled the orb over it .
[…and the nutrients are stored into the orb…]
He repeated the description with his voice .
"And the orb can transform barren land into a land of miracles that generates plants instantly . "
"Absorb . "
Light shined from the orb . People screamed in alarm as they were blinded by the shining light coming out from it . When the light faded, the orb was gone . Something was different .
People sniffed . The smell had changed . The city smelled like dry sand before, but it was now damp .
"HUH?!"
There were trees . The sides of the streets which usually had sand were replaced by trees that were sky high .
Dohyuk looked at the ground below where the orb had been absorbed into . He then walked in a certain direction, signaling for people to follow . They stopped at the city wall .
Outside the gate, it wasn't a desert anymore . People looked at vast green lands in front of them . There were trees scattered around, standing tall as if they had been standing there since a long time ago .
"I stole that orb from a god," Dohyuk said to the people .
"This city too . Let me tell you again . The city is mine, not because I am strongest . I can do whatever I want in this place . The things you see here? I can make it all disappear instantly . "
Dohyuk looked around .
"I just wish I won't have to show that to you . "
He then turned to Aruga .
"And the Bermurans from your previous city will 'kindly' come and teach you how to utilize this fertile land . I made a deal with them . "
Aruga gritted his teeth . That was the bet they made . If Dohyuk found a way to supply the food, Aruga promised to lend his people without any cost .

"You will learn how to farm . This land will grow any type of plant instantly, so it won't be too hard . "
Dohyuk then turned . It was the middle-aged man .
"Ah…"
"I won't do anything to you . I would have done what I had to do if you tried to fight me, but you were just voicing your complaints . "
The man did not dare to speak .
"First rule . "
Dohyuk then spoke to everyone .
"No one will harm or oppress another . "
Second .
"Everything in this city belongs to me, and I am the one providing it all to you . You cannot claim it as your own . "
Third .
"If you have problems, you can leave at any time or tell me about the problems . If it is reasonable, I might do something .
"But if it's just to make people uncomfortable, I will remove you for the sake of the city . "
-Faith: 123348
The middle-aged man slumped down on the ground .
"I… I…"
"I consider your complaints reasonable . Or rather, they were reasonable . "
But it wasn't anymore .
"You should all go back into the city . I wish ones that the ones who came first can help the new people . "
People then disappeared into the city . Only Dohyuk and Aruga stayed behind .
"You were lucky," Aruga admitted to his defeat . "I lost . But… this isn't a permanent solution . You must know this . "
"I don't know . "
"Even if the land became fertile because of the orb, it is not infinite . If you have more people…"
"It doesn't matter . I'll bring more . "
"…What?"

Dohyuk looked at Aruga .
"I took the city from you . And the fertilization from that forest . Then wouldn't other regions ruled by the other bastards have those that fit their type?"
"What? You got a problem with that?"
Dohyuk was claiming that he was going to ransack all regions that were currently occupied by gods .
"You all are not gods," Dohyuk claimed . They were powerful, but that was it .
"If gods had 'bet' on this land in hopes of getting something, they must be prepared to lose too . "
"I'll take all of that away . "
Dohyuk spoke as he shook .
"I told him too . "
That he's not a toy .
"Oh, so I need to ask you something . "
Aruga was relieved, however . When he made a deal with Dohyuk, he thought Dohyuk was not powerful enough to really help him retrieve his city in one piece . Now, he was sure of one thing .
"Tell me where the next closest region is, and who's in charge of that place . "
If he had not made a deal with him, he would've been run over by this monster .
"And tell me what can I take away from them . "
Aruga disappeared . The High Priest returned to his city after Aruga left him .
Dohyuk was still outside the city . He was looked towards the horizon where the sun was setting . He then took the paper out from his pocket .
"G-good day!"
Marie Kruger appeared, but Dohyuk wasn't going to look at items today .
-Coins: 2634451
He didn't need to, as he had enough coins to spend .
