Yoon Seung-Ah’s massive magic circle compressed and compressed, finally settling into the altar-shaped Warp Gate.
Kuung.
The Warp Gate soon began to emit a rumbling sound.
Wooooong!
Mana that seemed to be sucked toward the altar.
“It, it’s working!”
The technicians’ voices burst out in astonishment.
“……!”
The players who felt the surging mana were shocked once again.
While players were quite familiar with mana, that only applied to high-ranking rankers.
But now.
“…This is mana?”
Even those who hadn’t reached ranker level were personally experiencing a portion of mana that heated their entire bodies while simultaneously cooling them.
Was that all?
Whiiing!
The swirling mana gathered and gathered, finally beginning to take form.
“……!”
It was something like the aura blades that only top-tier rankers used, or the sword energy used by Asian players.
“The, the output is…!”
“…It’s fine… I can handle it.”
To the technicians’ worried voices, Gluttony rubbed her eyes and said.
“Ahh…!”
That was a different kind of beauty from Yoon Seung-Ah’s magic.
If Yoon Seung-Ah’s magic was the refined beauty of a city built under thorough planning.
“…This is mana….”
That was mana like the grandeur of nature that the Grand Canyon or the Alps mountains give.
Everyone was watching in a daze when it happened.
Pushuu…
Suddenly the Warp Gate began making sounds as if it was losing power.
The swirling mana was stored in the Warp Gate and disappeared, and the mana that had filled the entire area also vanished without a trace as if it had been annihilated.
“…Is it a failure?”
Did it ultimately fail to withstand the output?
“There’s… no problem with the Warp Gate.”
But as Gluttony said.
“There doesn’t seem to be any problem with the Warp Gate.”
Even when the technicians checked again, they couldn’t find any particular problems with the Warp Gate.
“Captain.”
That’s when Yoon Seung-Ah spoke.
“Yes, this time…”
Step.
“It’s my turn.”
What was needed to install a Warp Gate was Gluttony, who far surpassed the magical engineering of this world, and craftsmen like the Dvergr who could implement the knowledge embedded in her head.
The next thing needed was the magic and knowledge of Yoon Seung-Ah, who was a real magician that didn’t exist on Earth and could stand at the pinnacle even among them.
But what was needed to operate the Warp Gate was something else.
Saaaa.
It was Go Johan.
His vision instantly flipped, and the world transformed into an alien appearance made of thin threads.
The world of Divine Eyes was an alien world where no science, magic, or logic worked.
Essence beyond essence.
‘……’
A perfect world that even Go Johan couldn’t yet clearly understand.
Proof that he was the goddess’s knight, and evidence that he had received her grace.
And.
‘Divine Eyes has been strengthened.’
Unlike when he was Michael, Go Johan’s Divine Eyes had been further strengthened, allowing him to see a wider and deeper world.
No, to be precise, it was from when Go Johan was eight years old.
‘Sins.’
It was from when he saved Yoon Seung-Ah and took sins into his body.
Since then, Divine Eyes had continuously been strengthened.
The more he accumulated sins, karma points.
Writhe.
The more curses he took into his body, the clearer it became and the greater interference became possible.
And after meeting Kartul and realizing something, Divine Eyes had been strengthened one more level.
Swish.
That’s why he could now install Warp Gates.

In the world of Divine Eyes, the threads that composed Earth had an uncountably large number of colors.
But among them, there were threads that were particularly thick and intense.
‘Black.’
That was the color of the demon realm that had appeared since Go Johan opened the gates to the demon realm.
When Go Johan first recognized it, the black thread lines in the world were much thinner and fewer than now.
But.
‘It’s getting stronger.’
As time passed, the black threads increased and thickened more, and also densely covered the Earth.
It meant the demon realm’s influence was getting stronger, and it also meant their invasion would become fiercer.
Next was blue.
‘Earth.’
This was the basic color that the world called Earth possessed.
The widest, most numerous blue covering the entire world.
Everything born and raised on Earth definitely had these blue thread lines, and the same was true for Go Johan’s body.
‘Travania was silver-white.’
And lastly.
Ting.
When he touched a gray thread.
Kurururu!
The world began to rumble as if thunder was striking.
The startled people hurriedly stepped back, but only Go Johan and the apostles stood their ground and maintained their positions.
They had already experienced this dozens, hundreds of times.
These gray threads were spread much more widely than the black ones.
And some of them were already entangled with the blue ones, forming multiple strands.
This was exactly.
‘Another world.’
Go Johan had already figured out that this was flowing from what were called Gates.
A Warp Gate was close to folding these thread lines multiple times and making both ends collide.
It could be said to be similar to pulling one side of a thread and having it appear on the opposite side.
Therefore.
‘To fold the threads of Divine Eyes.’
What Go Johan called.
‘To fold these world lines, one must endure the gray.’
Until now, it had been failure.
In the church basement, he had succeeded in opening a Gate that should have appeared nearby by pulling these gray threads.
But while it was possible to shock or pull these gray lines, folding them was impossible.
However, now it was possible.
Swish.
Go Johan’s moving touch was incomparably reverent.
It seemed like he was performing some kind of ritual, or perhaps dancing.
Wooooong!
The Warp Gate that had lost its light began to vibrate again.
Kwaaaaaaa!
Pouring blue light.
The color of Earth began to cover the entire space.
Folding, folding, folding.
He didn’t think this was the same method as Travania’s.
Something only Go Johan could do, something only Go Johan and the apostles could do.
And.
Kwaaaang!
Finally, a rippling blue crack appeared above the Warp Gate.
It was an appearance that anyone could recognize without being told.
“Ga, Gate…!”
They had wondered about the name Warp Gate.
“That’s a Gate!”
The crack that appeared above the Warp Gate was exactly the same as the Gates that countless players entered and exited daily for conquests.
The Warp Gate activation was almost complete.
The final stage.
Swish.
When someone was approaching the Gate.
“It would be better not to get too close.”
Go Johan said in a somewhat tired voice.
“The connection is complete, but the inside isn’t safe.”
“What do you mean by that?”
That’s when it happened.
Beeeep!
Sharp metallic warning sounds began to be heard from various places.
The place where those sounds were coming from was only from the Association members.
Following that.
Ddddd!
Everyone’s phones present began to ring violently.
“An alert?”
A disaster warning alert.
-Seoul, unmeasurable Gate occurrence. All citizens should….
It was an alert announcing the occurrence of a Gate so powerful that it couldn’t be measured by current technology.
Swish.
Without exception, the players raised their heads one by one to look ahead.
Ripple.
The Warp Gate – somehow it seemed like what this alert was talking about was exactly that.
*
*
*
Their suspicion was fact.
Go Johan had folded the world lines and compressed the gray world lines.
The compressed gray lines, the Gate, hadn’t gone anywhere.
Along with the compressed world lines.
Ripple.
It had revealed itself there.
“……!”
Only by resolving that could the Warp Gate be connected.
Pop!
That’s when the Gate measuring device held by an Association member exploded.
While he didn’t get injured befitting a player, his dumbfounded face was clearly revealed.
“What on earth….”
Now that the whole world was heated up about the new civilization called Warp Gates.
“What… did you create?”
If this news became known, the world would grow cold.
The worst Gate that had ever appeared in the world was called an S-class Gate.
Thousands of players had challenged its conquest and failed, and the Gate that ultimately became a Break poured out monsters that even rankers found difficult to handle.
In Southeast Asia, that incident on a large island was concluded by sinking the entire island along with several nuclear bombs.
“This is….”
The leader of monsters – of course, even with just that, they judged that the monsters poured out by the S-class Gate hadn’t completely disappeared, and the surrounding areas were completely sealed off.
Now, after a long time had passed, that area was being managed by the World Association.
The Gate that caused such a major incident had a Gate Index of 1200, the unit for Gate measurement.
The so-called A-class Gates had Gate Indices between 600 and 800.
“It’s Gate Index 1400 or higher.”
The measuring device that had been developed later to measure up to Gate Index 1400 had burst, unable to withstand the mana emitted by the Gate.
The worst Gate in human history, completely different from Black Gates which had different mana output altogether, had opened here in Seoul, South Korea.
“…If that bursts, all of South Korea will sink.”
As had happened in the past, that might be the only method.
“I understand your worry, but that won’t happen.”
But Go Johan spoke as if it was nothing.
“We’ll select a conquest team and conquer the Gate.”
“What…”
“Don’t you trust us?”
Go Johan’s eyes looked at the astonished Association member.
And in that Association member’s mind, the recent scene came to mind.
Gulp.
The sight of sweeping away magical beasts and demons with just five people.
Various experts’ analyses that with that power, even the S-class Gates that had opened in the past could have been conquered.
“Trust us. There won’t be any problems.”
Go Johan’s face, smiling brightly as he spoke, looked like a cult leader proselytizing a cult.
