Chapter 109: Vol. 4 – Episode 22
In the face of countless people, Kapitle’s ten thousand heroes stopped their march. Everywhere they could see was filled with people, and the scene was overwhelming to the marching heroes.
Are the extras able to face us and stop us? The scene was almost terrifying to the heroes, while the people felt some confidence filling their hearts.
They never knew they could do something. They were born and raised to believe that they were useless, so they needed to obey the heroes. If the heroes were nice to them, that was a blessing, and when the heroes were not nice to them, that was natural. But now they were standing there with their free will to so something to thank Sungjin for his blessing, and when they gathered, they became a force that even the heroes couldn’t ignore. They finally became something meaningful. It was something small, but it was far from nothing.
“We… can… fight here.” When one said that, everyone believed it. I’m not stepping back. The people made a huge wall hand in hand to protect Sungjin and his team.
“Nice try! But you are just some scarecrows, your numbers don’t mean anything!” Kapitle shouted, looking down at the almost divine scene the people made.
Numbers didn’t matter. Extras were powerless. An extras’ attack couldn’t touch the heroes, and the extras’ defence was meaningless in the face of a hero’s attack. It didn’t matter how many people supported Sungjin’s idea—power was the only thing that mattered.
“Wipe them out!” With Kapitle’s voice, the heroes finally found their focus again.
He’s right. When the extras rebell and refuse to obey the heroes, they need to be punished. To punish them, the heroes started their march again. Ten thousand heroes started to march and massacre the people standing in front of them. It seemed to be easier than crushing tofu with a hammer.
Looking at his army effortlessly destroying the extras, Kapitle seemed satisfied. Hahaha. I’m not surprised that the extras appeared here. Although he hadn’t thought much about it, the world Sungjin was trying to make was a world for the extras.
The strong wanted their fair amount of respect while the weak wanted to get things without any effort. So for Kapitle, it was natural that the people were on Sungjin’s side, but that didn’t mean anything. Power was the force that moved the world. It was the rule of nature that the strong win everything. Sungjin and his followers couldn’t change the rules of nature. Idiots.
The extras could have obeyed and survived, but now the only future for them was instant death.
More than a hundred million people were massacred… and it almost seemed like it wouldn’t end.
Kaboom! There was an explosion in the middle of the marching heroes.
“What an idiot!” The heroes looked back to check who attacked their own, only to realize that was not the case. There were people among the extras who were using their power.
“A traitor?”
No, it was not a traitor but the priests of Rupellion.
“I am Pangnilin, the black priest. I came here with the Eye of God brigade to die here to follow the word of love by the goddess!”
“The blue priest and God’s Sword knights are here! Wealth and power can’t buy justice!”
They declared that they would follow Sungjin’s vision and they would make the world for the extras without pursuing their own wealth. They were standing against a world ruled by personal desires.
Kapitle frowned. “Hmph. Rupellion… Ha. You’d rather have paradise after life than the world? Idiots. You guys are just conned by the delusional idea, but we still have the upper hand!” Kapitle was sure that he was the one on the side of reason.
When fire rained on the people, a blue shield stopped it. “Sizna, a wizard who used to serve Ilkandi, is here to follow the Merciful Rulership!”
“Your Highness, I’m here, too!” Rittier stood with his cape flapping.
All the heroes who decided to stand by Sungjin’s side from the ally of the four kingdoms were there. They were not there to get wealth and power in the afterlife; they were there because they wanted to pursue Sungjin’s vision to create a world where the weak extras could live happily.
“Why?! How dare you!” Kapitle was furious. People from Sevrantina were not fanatics like the people from Rupellion. Kapitle couldn’t understand why they would follow Sungjin and not him. “Why!”
Sungjin answered with confidence. “Desire makes people move, you are right, but sometimes…” Just like a beast biting the weak point in its prey, Sungjin looked at Kapitle with sharp eyes. “The greater good moves people.”
When Martin Luther King had shouted for equality and rights for black people, there were white people who had joined him. It was difficult to explain why white people would support the idea. When Mother Theresa asked for help to save the poor, why did people who were not poor donate money? And why would doctors leave their safe and comfortable work place with a high salary to go to the third world? There were clearly moments where people were moved for something other than just their desire for wealth and power.
“The Wise King? You thought you knew everything only knowing half the world.” Sungjin pulled out his sword. “Let me show you the side of humans that your eye can’t see! Now follow my command!”
Zakiya lost her words and stood there looking at Sungjin. Kapitle united ten thousand heroes using one desire, but Sungjin… and his girls beside him… they united a hundred million people, and, moreover… they moved some heroes to make them to join Sungjin to create a world run by merciful rulership.
Maybe this is what he meant when he said good is difficult but not weak…
She learned how ugly and selfish human beings could be while working for Kapitle, but she didn’t know that human beings had another side. She realized that she thought she had known everything, but she only knew half of it.
Two massive armies clashed. Kapitle had more heroes, but there were too many extras making a wall with their own bodies. They neutralized and diverted the heroes’ skills on Kapitle’s side. On top of that, Sungjin was a better commander in a battle of armies.
Kapitle no longer had the upper hand. Kapitle’s army was in the midst of a siege and had lost formation. The chaotic battle was the perfect place to use Sungjin’s rapid yet perfect calculation, but…
Your tactics are nothing against me. Sungjin had his brain, but Kapitle had his power. “Run! Sleipnir!” Kapitle raised himself on the legendary horse of Odin and ran toward Sungjin, commanding the middle of the battlefield. Sungjin’s army tried to attack the legendary horse, but it didn’t affect Kapitle. He just wanted to use Sleipnir to come closer.
On the disappearing horse, Kapitle started to activate his ultimate skill. Sungjin was in attack range. I won’t be tricked by you this time. “The Holy Order of God King―Gungnir!” He started to activate his ultimate weapon. He didn’t care if his skill would also kill his army. As long as I can kill Sungjin, the victory is mine.
The destructive wave burnt everything to the ground. It tore up the sky, broke the ground, and destroyed everything. The wild dance of destruction wiped out Sungjin and his team. The only thing left was ruin, with Kapitle standing alone.
“Hahaha. How do you like that?” Kapitle’s laughter was the only sound in the middle of the ruin.
“Huh. I didn’t expect it to be this effective!” Zakiya said with a smile.
“What?”
Sungjin and his team were slightly out of Kapitle’s attack range. Zakiya had tricked Kapitle while he was overly excited. Kapitle had wiped away the extras but not Sungjin.
“Now it’s my turn. Stat Exchange.” The next moment, Sungjin’s appearance changed. Shiny armor was on his body. He sped up to approach Kapitle. Sungjin’s sword shined brightly, and it was sharp and fast. It was Sungjin’s sword skill to defeat Gungnir, and Sungjin was about to use it again.
But the next moment, Kapitle smiled as if he had already won. “I was waiting for it!” Gungnir started to shine again. Everything was a trick to fool Sungjin, and it was possible only because Kapitle had such absolute power. He was ready to walk into the trap only to destroy it.
The destructive wave made an explosion. This was the true power of Gungnir. The ground simply disappeared. The sky was torn to create a one-dimensional darkness, and the air disappeared to create a typhoon all around the darkness. It was the holy order of God for everything to disappear. Kapitle was the only one standing among them using the pressure of his power.
But Sungjin’s team gathered everything to fight against him. “Shield of all People―AEGIS.” Ereka was able to create a brief moment of protection. In the short moment that she created before it was destroyed by Kapitle Sungjin was able to get one step closer to Kapitle.
“Stat Exchange.”
Eustasia put everything in it and sent her power to Sungjin so that Sungjin could pull out his sword.
“The Earth, the ocean, the wind, the light. Give Sungjin Oppa power.” Rachel’s prayer pushed him up.
With everyone’s support, Sungjin approached Kapitle, but that was it. The explosive wave of destruction took away the power of Sungjin’s sword. When the sword reached Kapitle, it was only able to touch the spear lightly. It was such a small attack, even when using everything they had.
“Disappear.” Kapitle pushed more power into Gungnir and created an even bigger wave of destruction to push Sungjin away.
He was losing his feet to step on.
Kapitle’s jewel eye started to shine.
Yes, this was the moment. This was the moment of victory that the Wisdom of Mimir promised him.
He was defeated in the first battle without having a chance to use Gungnir because he had gotten confused by the future he had seen. But now, following the holy order of God, the rebels were annihilated, and he was about to stand on the top of the world.
Sungjin’s resistance made his glory even greater. The future was written by the holy order of God. The victory is mine. But right at that moment, white wings like an illusion appeared behind Sungjin’s back.
[The Holy Sword of Halt―Dawn Bringer]
Pure white light came from the sword. The next moment, the power flow running into the holy spear from Kapitle stopped in order to stop the wave of Gungnir for a second. “What?” It was a very brief moment.
When the tip of the sword was away from the spear, Kapitle’s power started to flow into the spear again, but because of that brief moment when the power was cut off, he had to recreate the whole activation.
And when the sword touched the spear again, the activation stopped again.
The holy spear with absolute power stopped like a broken machine.
