Chapter 1
A twilight sky.
It rotted away into darkness as the ground disintegrated. The place they’d called home for ages.
The Tower was falling apart.
“So we’ve lost.”
Those were words no one dared to say because it felt like it would finally become true once it was spoken.
The ten “Gods” who were gathered around started reminiscing their epics.
“So is this really the end?”
“I never imagined that this would be how we part ways.”
“Well said. I knew it had to end one way or another but…”
“Let’s not get mushy and make this quick. We’re done for anyways.”
“What do you mean done for? It’s not over yet.”
A platinum white-haired man holding a long pole spoke. It was Son OhGong.* He held the title of “The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal” and was the protagonist of the myth “Heavenly Realm’s Traitor.”
*TL/N: Son OhGong is the Korean name for Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
“You’re talking big for someone who’s on the brink of death.”
The one who disputed Son OhGong’s confidence was Hercules, wearing his lion skin, wielding a broken club. Having brought victory in the war against the Titans, the greatest hero of Olympus was nearing death with one of his arms cut off.
“I’m not dying.”
“You might be an ‘Immortal,’ but can you really keep acting so mighty in front of them?”
Hercules turned his head, staring at the beings flying far above the twilight skies. Gods of the Other Realm.
The Outer Gods.
《Despair that Reaches the Skies》, 《Gloom Trapped in a Swamp》, 《One Who Couldn’t Be Born》, 《Foolish Calamity》…
Normal people would lose their life simply by looking at them. Such beings were tearing apart their world.
“Ugh…”
“They’ll soon discover this place.”
“There’s a chance they already have.”
Whoosh—
Thud—
A pure white mass flew down from out of nowhere. All the Gods turned their gazes towards the mass before looking back towards the person’s voice.
“So I made it back.
“I thought I was going to die.”
Jet black hair with eyes just as dark, the man had short, messy hair. YuWon looked drained, taking slow steps towards the makeshift tree trunk chair before sitting down.
“It’s just you?” Hercules asked.
The companions that definitely left with him were nowhere to be found, and YuWon came back alone.
“… Uh-huh.”
“Merlin, Asura, Vishnu… All of them?”
“Yeah.”
YuWon nodded his head.
“They’re all dead.”
The air became somber.
