Seo Kang-rim looked at the person in front of him without saying anything.
I had no doubt as to how the Protectorate of my previous life came into possession of my blood.
He had always lived injured and bleeding, so obtaining blood would have been easy.
Baek Young is actually a clone created with Seo Kang Rim’s blood.
His own replica was killing the secret agent and repeating countless regressions.
Is this a terrible joke, or is this also just a karmic fate?
“I was born on a different day than you, so I wasn’t given the ability to steal fate, but my fundamentals are the same.”
Baek Young looked at Seo Kang Rim.
The original of oneself with the same blood flowing through it.
“I think it was your influence, Seo Kang-rim, that made me feel hostile towards the unchanging Eternal.”
“You hate fate?”
“Yeah. Oddly enough, that’s what happened.”
Baek Young, who said that, somehow resembled Seo Kang Rim.
It was because of the eyes.
Even after suffering from a high fever and attending numerous funerals, those eyes never went out; they were eyes that hated God.
“When I hatched from the egg, other test subjects were born on the same day as me. We were all born on the same day, at the same time, and thus were born with the destiny of a new product.”
It would have been a very bizarre scene at first glance.
It’s amazing to see test subjects with identical faces hatching from eggs like twins.
“The vessels were made in order of their superior abilities. Since I was the last in line, I was trained and educated during that time.”
“… … .”
“They looked at me and said they didn’t understand why I used the blood of a third-rank official. I could hear your name then. I didn’t know your face though.”
Since Seo Kang-rim’s rank was the lowest, Baek-yeong was able to live the longest.
Would she have been grateful to the original whose name she didn’t even know?
Or perhaps he cursed his own fate of having a bug-level original?
“I saw the vessels dying. The researchers told us that we were born to be vessels for eternity. Most of the test subjects obeyed, but I felt a strong sense of rejection.”
Seo Kang-rim suddenly remembered what the princess had said.
Unlike Yang Baek, who was sacrificial and obedient, the princess tried to survive even if it meant betraying fate.
He said that personality can change depending on the temperament of the blood owner.
“I didn’t want to become a vessel. My aversion to and hatred for eternity was greater than my fear of death. So I escaped from the laboratory and met the first master.”
“… … .”
“I wasn’t happy about the descent itself, but I had no choice. At that time, I had no choice.”
In this way, Baek Young became a regressor and lived thousands of lives.
And in his final life, he closed his eyes after meeting his original self, Seo Kang-rim.
After handing over the karma she had called regression.
“You and I both have strange fates. Since your fate is strange, can’t I do anything about it?”
“… …Do you know why I became a candidate for the throne?”
“I don’t know. It seemed like the researchers didn’t know either.”
He still couldn’t figure out why Sookmyung coveted him.
Even if he got stronger quickly in this life, why did he make clones out of his own blood in his past life?
“You’ve gotten stronger in such a short period of time, so I think you definitely have something. You’re not strong enough yet, though.”
Even though Seo Kang-rim had defeated the god Mu-myeong, Baek-yeong still viewed him as weak.
It was something I could say because I had seen my fate.
She thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“You’re still weak, but you have potential. There’s something I want to check.”
“what?”
Baek Young dragged one of the fragments that was nearby.
It was a corpse that had not yet finished regenerating.
“You have the ability to steal fortunes. Try to see if you can steal this too.”
Seo Kang-rim also seemed to know what Baek Young was thinking.
Because I had similar thoughts when I first got here.
How powerful would you become if you could steal the abilities of these countless corpses?
The target was a fragment of a dragon’s corpse, so it might be impossible, but it was worth a try.
The border was approaching, but the risk had to be taken.
Seo Kang-rim activated his power toward the fragments.
[The ability ‘Steal the Four Pillars of Destiny’ is activated!]
[You can steal the target’s fate. Would you like to use it?]
As soon as I activated the Four Pillars Steal, all the abilities the fragments had started to be absorbed.
The moment I felt the power that Seo Kang-rim was imbuing into me, along with the message that he would steal all of the target’s fate.
-Crispy… … !
The debris turned into ash before my eyes.
It began to crumble rapidly and disperse into the air.
Everything was gone, not even a bone left behind.
Seo Kang-rim could tell that it had disappeared.
He was the first person born to die in this world where death was not permitted.
Baek Young looked at the sight as if it was a wonder and said.
“It seems possible. The fragments seem to be destroyed, but if you steal the destinies here, you will have a higher chance of winning.”
If I could absorb the fate of this place as Baekyoung said, I would be able to quickly become stronger.

But there was a problem.
The apparitions were whispering like insects crawling all around.
“It’s impossible to absorb everything. I’m already close to the boundary.”
Although it is said that the karmic retribution for stealing fortunes is less than that for murder, stealing this much was nearly impossible.
There’s no point in gaining great power if you go crazy.
Even now, the illusions were hovering around Seo Kang-rim.
“It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing I can do. Then I can only steal a few worthy ones. My fate, and… … .”
Baek Young opened his mouth to count something like someone using an abacus.
“I must kill Shin Soo Ah and steal her fate.”
Seo Kang-rim was momentarily unable to answer those words.
Kill Shin Soo Ah?
Baek Young opened his mouth on behalf of Seo Kang Rim, who was speechless.
“There are many abilities of hers that are suitable for you. In particular, if you gain the weight of karma, you will become several times stronger than you are now.”
As Baek Young said, ‘The Weight of Karma’ was the ability that Seo Kang-rim needed most.
Because it was an ability that made one stronger as one accumulated karma.
Even so, you want me to kill Shin Soo Ah?
If the unchanging Eternal dies, the fragments trapped here can also be released.
The fragments of the Bihomun group will also be inherited as the main body and continue on with life.
But if he steals Shin Soo-ah’s fate, she will disappear like the fragments he just saw.
It was death in the true sense of the word.
“If it’s difficult to kill Shin Soo-ah, I’ll cooperate.”
“Tell me the location of the sword.”
Seo Kang-rim ignored Baek Young’s words as if he was trampling on them.
I couldn’t agree to the idea of destroying Shin Soo-ah.
Baek Young looked at Seo Kang Rim and spoke calmly.
“Shin Soo Ah has it. She stole the weapon while she was desperately trying to kill me.”
The dark-colored sword that gave off a strange aura came to mind.
I felt like it was something out of the ordinary, but it was a nameless sword.
Even if I didn’t steal Shin Soo-ah’s fate, I had to fight her.
“Thank goodness. It would take quite a while to get to where the sword originally was, but Shinsooah has it.”
It would have been better to have the sword hidden in the deepest hell than to confront Shin Soo Ah.
As Seo Kang-rim remained silent, Baek Young spoke with eyes that seemed to see into his inner thoughts.
“Think carefully, Seo Kang-rim. In any case, everyone here is dead. Shouldn’t we save Shin Soo-ah, who is still alive outside?”
Baek Young’s words were correct.
All that remained here were fragments of the soul, the contradictions of the world.
Still, Seo Kang-rim did not answer.
As I stood there with a face that seemed to be thinking about something, Baekyoung asked.
“Are you giving up?”
“No. I’m just thinking about it.”
“What are you thinking about?”
Seo Kang-rim did not answer that question.
However, Baek Young saw that his eyes had come to life.
The despair that had briefly lingered disappeared, and his eyes were burning with an obsession that seemed to have no end.
It was a light that seemed like it would never disappear even if I died.
* * *
Shin Soo-ah was sitting among the fragments of a corpse.
After being attacked by Baek Young, I couldn’t see anything and there was only darkness.
Shin Soo Ah was groaning in the darkness, blood flowing from her only remaining eye.
It wasn’t because of physical pain.
That was a long time ago forgotten.
It was regret and guilt that burrowed into her brain and choked her breath.
I couldn’t keep it.
No one protected it.
She still couldn’t get over the day she met Baekyoung.
I watched the members of the sect die helplessly, and even gave my life to stop it, but it was no use.
If I couldn’t save them, I had to at least get revenge.
I had to kill Baek Young.
But there were too many white tigers in this world.
At first, there was clearly only one, but at some point, they started to multiply one by one like bugs, and now all the faces on all sides had turned white.
Must be killed.
That was the only purpose of this dregs of life.
After lying on the floor groaning for a long time, I finally began to see.
As soon as her vision returned, she got up and began to perform her duties.
Where are you?
Where is Baek Young?
Shin Soo-ah’s duty and purpose in life was only revenge and killing.
As she staggered through the cracks, she heard the sound of footsteps on wet ground approaching.
There was Baek Young there.
Had to kill.
Shin Soo-ah ran towards Baek Young with movements like an animal.
-Kwaaang!
Just the clash of the two swords caused a whirlwind of wind to blow around them.
Seo Kang-rim’s clothes and hair were flying as if they were going to be torn apart.
The person fighting with Shin Soo-ah right now was Seo Kang-rim, but to Shin Soo-ah, he just looked like Baek Young.
-Kang, Kang!
With each clash of swords, the edge of the wailing teeth was slowly falling off.
It was a famous sword made of iron, but it was nothing compared to Shinsooah’s sword.
The sword that Shin Soo-ah took from the deep abyss to defeat Baek Young.
The energy that the sword itself gave off seemed to dry up blood, but Shin Soo-ah, who was holding it, was also like a sword.
The moment she was about to rush in, Seo Kang-rim shouted.
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah, stop!”
Shin Soo-ah paused for a moment when she heard that voice.
That voice, it was a voice I knew well.
At first glance, the voice sounded like Seo Kang-rim’s.
I have longed for this innumerable times in this hell.
Even if it was a fantasy or a nightmare, I hoped that I would see Seo Kang-rim’s back or voice.
My legs were stiff at the thought of that hope being realized, but it was only for a moment.
-Quaqua light!
As she swung her sword, the ground around her shook with the wind pressure and fell upon Seo Kang-rim.
Longing and hatred filled Shin Soo-ah’s one eye.
Tears of blood ran down his cheeks.
“Don’t bewitch me with the voice I miss the most, Baekyoung.”
