“Stay the night.”
Shin Su-kyung said regretfully.
It had been a meal full of tension at first, but the atmosphere had lightened quickly.
There were Shin Su-kyung’s efforts, and the apostles’ efforts too.
“I’ll bring them often.”
At Go Johan’s words, Shin Su-kyung approached him and reached out her hand.
“How could you? They’re probably the busiest people in the world right now.”
Many emotions seemed contained in Shin Su-kyung’s eyes as she stroked Go Johan’s cheek.
“But…”
Shin Su-kyung said.
“Still, make time to come. Or we’ll come visit.”
“……”
“They’re still children.”
Conduct and abilities completely unsuited to their age.
But in Shin Su-kyung’s eyes, they seemed like children who hadn’t finished growing.
Nod.
Go Johan nodded because his thoughts weren’t different.
“…Thank you for today.”
Yoon Seung-ah stepped forward and greeted first.
Swish.
Kim Si-on bent ninety degrees at the waist, bowing deeply.
“Thank you very much!”
“Th-thank you? Thank you!”
When Ju In-kyung also greeted as if imitating Kim Si-on, Kim Si-on glared at her and ruffled her hair.
“Eeng.”
Ju In-kyung puffed her cheeks.
Everyone watching that sight smiled.
“It was the best meal.”
Lee Ha-yeon also greeted the same way.
Everyone was watching contentedly.
“Me too. Thanks to you, I rested well.”
It was about to wrap up with Go Johan’s greeting.
Swish.
Go Yoon-su stood on Go Johan’s side together with Rachel.
“…Hm?”
“Rachel should stay with Johan for the time being.”
Go Yoon-su said.
“I’m also going to stay there briefly.”
Though it was the second son who had just returned home, to think they wouldn’t stay together.
It was true that disappointment arose.
“Do that.”
Rather, this time Go Jae-han stepped forward.
“Yes.”
Go Yoon-su also answered with a nod.
“Then me too!”
Goh Min-ji tried to join them.
“You, don’t say strange things and come here.”
Shin Su-kyung caught her.
Small laughter arose again.
“Then we’ll be going.”
Shin Su-kyung wouldn’t know.
How enjoyable this time had been for the apostles.
It was true rest given to them who had only been running without pause, and it would have been a moment that made them realize they were ordinary, no different from others.
“Be careful.”
They began boarding the vehicles.
Go Johan got in the car with Lee Jae-kyung and Yoon Seung-ah.
Vroooom.
The time appeared on the starting vehicle.
11:52
Time when midnight was approaching.
Go Johan smiled contentedly looking out the window of the departing vehicle.
It was his family who had changed him, who had seemed unchangeable.
May that positive influence continue to the apostles.
‘O Goddess.’
Please watch over your servants.
11:54
The vehicle leaving the Sanctum estate.
“We succeeded in extracting the World Tree’s dimension.”
Yoon Seung-ah said.
They succeeded in separating the World Tree and the surviving elves’ dimension.
Since it was already a dimension Yggdrasil had practically isolated, it would have been easier than expected while also being nearly impossible.
It would have required understanding of a dimension similar to Yggdrasil.
“Linking with the temple is in progress…”
Yoon Seung-ah said.
11:57
“We just need to designate where it will take root.”
Nod.
“You worked hard.”
“I heard about the North Korea matter. Captain.”
Yoon Seung-ah said.
“As you know, the reason we left North Korea alone was various political interests, major impact on world affairs… China… and such.”
Yoon Seung-ah spoke as if making excuses.
Since Go Johan’s blood relative Go Yoon-su was involved, she seemed to want to clearly explain the cause.
“Already if they… if approached wrongly…”
Yoon Seung-ah said.
11:59
“All humans existing in North Korea could have been destroyed…”
That’s when.
Rumble!
A fierce vibration shook the ground.
“……!”
Regardless of heads turning at that massive shock, Go Johan looked at the clock.
12:00
December 26th.
It was midnight when Christmas day had ended.
Boom!
Massive pressure that sent tingles through their whole bodies shook everyone.
“North Korea is…”
Yoon Seung-ah also turned her head to look at the back window.
A black pillar, no, it couldn’t be called a pillar.
It was.
“Already a demonic realm…”
A wall.
At that place dividing South and North Korea, a huge black wall was draped.
The vehicle had stopped.
It wasn’t just Go Johan.
Screech.
All vehicles carrying apostles.
No, everything running on the road had stopped.
They who opened doors and got out were looking at the same place as if possessed by demons.
“That is…”
“What on earth…?”
A black wall.
That would be all ordinary people could see and know.
But Go Johan and the apostles were different.
Tremble.
Their trembling skin was telling them.
“Nine Black Gates have occurred worldwide.”
That their brief rest had ended.
*
*
*
“The situation?”
The apostles who returned to the church immediately gathered.
They had already received all necessary reports in the moving vehicle.
“America, Japan, Germany, China…”
Nine Black Gates occurring worldwide.
“Two in South Korea.”
Black Gates that appeared in Busan and the East Sea area.
And.
“……”
In the unfolded hologram, a massive wall was rising.
It was a wall created as if imprisoning North Korea.
Whoosh.
Goosebumps were rising all over their bodies.
“The Black Gates’ energy is different from before.”
The highest level of Black Gates that had appeared until now was at the level of 6-horned demons.
‘Kartul.’
Because they had faced an archfiend outside Earth, not on it.
“This time’s gates…”
Yoon Seung-ah said.
“Are 7-horned demons.”
7-horned, those called archfiends.
A total of nine of them.
No.
“The North Korean Black Gate is different.”
Go Johan said.
It was questionable whether that could even be called a ‘gate.’
Tremendous energy was gathering and converging on North Korea.
“……”
The plane that disappeared in North Korea.
The S-rank gate and Iron Lion Knights he encountered there.
Many things flashed through his mind.
“If there’s good fortune.”
Yoon Seung-ah said with blackened eyes.
Right now she was literally surveying all of Earth.
Because she could examine the deep aspects of Black Gates that ordinary people couldn’t see.
That’s when.
Drip.
At the blood flowing from Yoon Seung-ah’s eyes.
“……!”
Go Johan’s eyes flashed open as he grabbed her.
“Stop!”
Even though Go Johan commanded, Yoon Seung-ah’s stained eyes showed no sign of releasing.
And slowly.
“De…”
Her mouth opened.
“Noona!”
“Unnie!”
The apostles also grabbed Yoon Seung-ah, trying to wake her, but Yoon Seung-ah was sinking deeper as if refusing.
“Mon…”
Boom!
Go Johan unleashed his power.
Go Johan didn’t have magical knowledge like Yoon Seung-ah or Lee Ha-yeon and the power to handle it.
Only the power to destroy and tear apart.
“……!”
But if there was one thing special about him compared to them.
Woong!
His divine eyes activated.
Through them, Go Johan could see the world’s other side, uniquely in the world.
“…What!”
Boom!
The world unfolding before Go Johan’s eyes.
Originally it was just a power showing the back world, but now Go Johan felt as if he’d fallen alone into a completely new world.
Yoon Seung-ah was there, floating in the air bound.
“…Cap…tain…”
Go Johan didn’t shout but reached out his hand.
It was when he tried to cut away those black stems binding her.
“N-no… don’t… stop!”
Yoon Seung-ah shouted urgently.
Just a little, just a little later and Go Johan would have torn away everything binding her.
“…Captain.”
“Seung-ah, tell me! What’s happening!”
Go Johan shouted urgently.
“…De…”
The word she had said before too, before his divine eyes activated.
“Demon King… descent…”
“……!”
Boom!
With an explosion, Go Johan’s divine eyes shattered.
*

*
Swish.
A white towel was full of red blood.
It was the towel Go Johan had wiped his face with.
“……”
An intense light dwelled in his sunken eyes then disappeared.
Thud.
Footsteps approaching.
“What about Seung-ah?”
“She hasn’t woken up.”
Seung-ah had been devoured while examining the Black Gates.
“What’s happening?”
Lee Jae-kyung asked worriedly.
“Seung-ah bound herself, suppressing the Black Gates.”
Though there was nothing Go Johan could do for her, he could tell what was happening.
She was holding back alone the Black Gates that suddenly swelled and tried to burst forth.
That was something more important than the Black Gates.
“……”
It was to buy time by stopping what was at the center.
“…Demon King.”
Go Johan said while looking at the sky.
“Ha-yeon and In-kyung will have to help.”
Lee Ha-yeon who could use magical abilities, and for supporting everything by coordinating and filling it with power, Ju In-kyung was suitable.
“We’ll do that. What about the Black Gates?”
“……”
Personnel who should move to close them.
Originally Yoon Seung-ah would coordinate, but now she was fallen into deep darkness, unable to even communicate with the outside.
That’s when.
At the approaching presence, Go Johan raised his head.
“…Are you okay?”
Another person who came to the church with them, Go Yoon-su.
He too had seen the wall rising in North Korea and was feeling the changes happening in the world.
“…I’m not okay.”
At Go Johan’s words, Go Yoon-su nodded.
Whoosh.
Go Johan who let out a short breath handed the blood-stained towel to Lee Jae-kyung.
It was stained with blood that flowed from around his eyes from activating his divine eyes to the extreme.
“Hyung.”
Go Johan called to him while approaching Go Yoon-su.
“I don’t think this matter is unrelated to us.”
Go Johan’s eyes standing before Go Yoon-su were glowing brightly.
“What about Rachel?”
