#Episode 59
hmm.
In the end, there is only one.
Yoon Young-soo asked me what the doppelgangers’ purpose was.
Unlike me, Yoon Young-soo and my older sister are more likely to be curious about that. Then we should ask them.
“What is your purpose?”
“… … Is that the question after all? Alright. Let me tell you the purpose. Our purpose is to complete the ‘Great Plan.’”
“The grand plan?”
“In the future, powerful enemies will target this Earth. We have come here to protect the Earth according to His will.”
This is a bit surprising.
“Who are those powerful enemies?”
“I don’t know.”
“You use the word ‘powerful enemy’ without even knowing what it is?”
“Not being certain is the same as not knowing. You cannot say you know what you do not know. Our apostles… … .”
I wanted to correct one thing.
“Not an apostle, but a doppelganger.”
“Does it matter?”
“It doesn’t matter. But, really, it doesn’t matter. Do whatever you want.”
“… … Good. We doppelgangers only act according to His will. It was His will that He gave us revelations and brought us down. You can feel it too.”
“What?”
“The gate is changing. The phase has passed, right?”
“Oh, I heard it passed.”
“It will be different starting from Phase 2. Not only the unique Awakened, but also the general Awakened will die innumerable times. When Phase 3 comes, then even the Apostles… … and the Doppelgangers will have a hard time handling them. And when Phase 4 comes.”
“When did it happen?”
“Usually, other races would have been destroyed before Phase 4, but this place is different because of you. When Phase 4 comes, Earth will have to choose, whether to ‘go extinct’ or ‘survive.’”
As I listened, there was something very strange.
“I thought you and the system had a close relationship, but I guess we were separate?”
“There is a connection. But it is not a friendly relationship, but a hostile one. That doesn’t mean our doppelgangers are on the side of humans.”
Is this a matter of pride?
The last words were said without any reason, but it seems that they wanted to emphasize that we are a different species from humans and that they are not necessarily on the side of humans. I could sense their pride.
“We act according to His will. That is all. The coming destruction of the Earth has nothing to do with us. But the being that will destroy the Earth does. We call that being a powerful enemy. When our plan is completed, you humans will ultimately benefit.”
“Okay, thanks for the good info. It’s not a lie, is it?”
“None. Now take my neck.”
This is enough. There is no reason to take it longer.
I just put strength into my hands.
Crunch-!
Gandharva’s head fell off. He stood up, leaving the corpse behind. He turned his head, wiping the blood off his sword.
The entire island of Kauai was ‘polluted’ except for Larsen’s Beach where I was.
It doesn’t matter.
I took a step.
Now, there are 19 left.
* * *
Gandharva commanded his apostles.
Put up a barrier and bury that bastard here.
Even though Gandharva took sudden action, the barrier did not disappear.
As soon as Gandharva died, the apostles immediately reacted.
The area of the barrier excluding Larson’s Beach has been expanded.
The barrier swallowed up Jin Shihou in an instant. He didn’t refuse it. He just accepted it.
Jin Shihou was still relaxed, still standing on the ground with both feet.
I looked around.
It was dark. A voice echoed in that extremely dark space.
-Fill the ground and realize your own helplessness.
-The art of first immortals.
-Chapter 58. Repentance and Public Awareness.
It was a calm voice. Jin Shihou’s body hesitated slightly.
That was understandable.
Because my whole body was crushed beneath the ground.
Gravity changed. I looked up at the sky with a strange expression.
Black streaks shoot out from all over the space. They soon become nets. One, two, three… … The number is almost in the hundreds.
They all charged at Qin Shihou.
Jin Shihou is swallowed by a net.
Then the ground starts shaking.
Jin Shi-hoo, who was swallowed by the net, was now surrounded by the black space itself.
It’s over.
I thought so.
The 28th apostle, Cecilia, truly thought so.
I know he’s strong.
I witnessed the killing of Gandharva, the sixth apostle and elder. If I had been weak, I would not have been able to kill Gandharva.

Jin Shihou is stronger than Gandharva.
However, even Jin Shi-hoo would not be able to break through this ‘barrier’.
This barrier is not easily broken even by the elders. It can only be broken if one is prepared to suffer at least a fatal wound.
This is a barrier created by the best apostles with all their might. Even Gandharva helped in this barrier.
It could be seen as his legacy.
Cecilia was sincere.
Now we just need to finish it up.
Cecilia turned her head.
Only the apostles were visible. Their positions with each other.
In this black space, all the apostles look to one side.
Gandharva was not the master of this barrier. The master of this barrier was the 10th apostle, Jaun.
Jawoon nodded.
That was a signal.
All the apostles stretch out their hands.
– Arise, shine, for your light has come, and glory has risen upon you.
-Destruction.
-Chapter 9: Sea-breaking Thunderbolt Cannon.
The Apostles’ ecstasy soared into the sky. It gathered together and became a huge halo of light, which descended toward the black space where Jin Shihou was.
The change happened then.
Cecilia froze in place.
Is what you just saw correct?
That was understandable.
Because right now, Jin Shihou was right in front of me.
He pointed with his hand to the dark, artificial sky without a single cloud.
“Did you install speakers upstairs?”
“… … .”
“You’ve become a modern person.”
Should I say that it feels like all five senses are distorted?
Cecilia couldn’t believe it. Why was this man in front of her?
Why on earth is a man here, who should be shrunken in a compressed space?
Cecilia’s gaze shifted. There was something written on the sword Jin Shihou was holding in his hand.
It was a strange language.
It was so elaborately crafted that even at first glance, the sword itself did not look ordinary.
like that.
Crunch-!
Cecilia’s head shot up into the sky. Jin Shihou turned his head at that moment.
A voice echoes within the space.
-Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
-Destruction.
-Chapter 88: The Great Diamond Rotating Spear.
Flashes of light burst out from all over the space. It was a window.
Such a huge window.
Jin Shihou adjusted his grip on his sword and moved.
The 20th apostle, Anastasius, who was quite a distance away, could not hide his eyes that were constantly trembling while operating the ecstasy machine.
Cecilia, whose head had just been blown off, may not have seen it, but Anastasio did.
Jin Shihou cutting through space with his sword.
I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes. That’s it.
He reached Cecilia, who was marking his direction, with just one step.
And he cut off Cecilia’s head.
That’s all.
And now.
It was right in front of my eyes.
“Do you think this barrier has any meaning?”
“… … .”
“I’m really sorry, but even if hundreds or thousands of you guys gathered together, the result would be the same.”
Jin Shihou seemed sincere. As proof, there was nothing but boredom and annoyance in Jin Shihou’s eyes.
Those attacks flying out of the air are clearly attacks made by the Tal-hon-gi. They are attacks launched by all the apostles within the top 50, and this attack is on a different level from the power of a nuclear bomb. It is not at the level of destruction, but at the level of annihilation.
Jin Shihou swung his sword lightly, from bottom to top.
Anastasio’s right arm shot straight up into the sky. Blood spurted out. I could tell for sure. I couldn’t even react.
“Look. There’s no one who can block my sword even once.”
I had nothing to say. Because it was true.
“I think I have a rough idea of the level of the guy you call ‘that guy.’ Okay. Let’s stop now.”
Crunch-!
Anastasio’s neck rises to the sky.
A voice came from the sky again.
– Concerning judgment, it means that the prince of this world has been judged.
-First impression.
-66 Red Fire Cannon.
It was the same as before.
The space was rippling. It was like this until just here.
Crunch-!
The neck of the apostle in the corner rises toward the sky.
Crunch-!
One more pops up.
And then a red flash burst out from the space.
Before even touching Jin Shihou’s body.
Crunch, rustling, rustling.
Three necks rose into the sky.
-Faith is the substance of things hoped for… … .
Crunch-!
-Destruction.
Crunch, rustling.
The magic didn’t continue.
Jawoon stopped talking.
He can see it with his own two eyes. The apostles are now being brutally killed within this artificially created barrier.
One head pops up. Then another.
It’s not that the magic wasn’t continued, it’s that it couldn’t be continued.
The entire space created by the barrier began to shake like crazy.
Too many apostles died. All the points that were being pointed at collapsed. A building that has collapsed on its axis naturally collapses.
Kwarrrrung-!!
Just like now.
Larsen’s Beach on Kauai is featured.
Jin Shihou turned his head, holding a blood-stained sword.
“There’s one left.”
He is right.
One left.
The 6th apostle and a loyal follower of Gandharva, the elder, and the 10th apostle, Jaun (紫雲).
His mustache began to twitch.
“… … This freaking bastard… … .”
It wasn’t anything new.
There is no sense of tension. The life Jin Shihou has lived was a thorny path that cannot even be compared to these things happening now.
That’s it.
Crunch-!
Jin Shihou’s sword cut off Zi Yun’s head.
On that day, twenty apostles disappeared from the world.
* * *
“… … So, that man is Jin Song-yi’s younger brother, Jin Shi-hoo?”
The gatekeeper of America, the chief of staff, answered a man’s question very politely.
“Yes, that’s right.”
It could be seen as an excessive amount of courtesy. In the United States, there is only one chief secretary who is called a gatekeeper and shows this kind of behavior.
President of the United States, Fred Nielsen.
The two men were thinking the same thing now.
“… … Is this really true? Apostles? Why haven’t these beings been revealed until now?”
“… … The location is different from that of us humans.”
“The location is different?”
“Yes, none of the unique Awakened ones noticed. No, no one thought they were strange in the first place. The ordinary people acted like ordinary people, the Awakened like Awakened, the businessmen like businessmen, they acted everything thoroughly, and human senses could not catch them.”
There were only two people in this place: the Chief of Staff and the President.
And the photos in front. The president was surprised to see these photos. And next to the photos was a tablet PC. There was also a video that had been playing just a moment ago.
President Pride clutched his head. His inner feelings were too complicated.
“… … It hasn’t even been that long since he started his term, and he’s already turning around.”
Pride turned his head and looked at the chief secretary.
“Jin Shi Hou, this man just killed 20 apostles on the island of Kauai. Is this possible?”
“… … It’s unbelievable, but it’s true. It was captured so clearly in satellite photos. There’s no doubt about it.”
“Weren’t you known as an unawakened person?”
