How they appeared in public was the most important thing for all villains.

Personally, I thought the first impression one made was more important than the process or result.

Through it, a character's identity could be seen clearly, showing how vicious, evil, dangerous and cruel the bastard was. Especially in our Song Villain's case, it had to be considered even more of a priority.

That scene alone had revealed his duality, after all.

To be honest, it wasn't overwhelmingly obvious from his external appearance, but that was his identity. He pretended to be a saint, crying out that he would create a world for the continent and for the weak, but in reality, he was trying to satisfy his own selfishness and greed.

Simply put, this was a black screen.

Everyone probably thought that he was a descendant of the Son of Light.

I was certain many of his followers thought of him as such.

'The descendant of the Son of Light.'

The new hope for the continent.

'The legacy of the Lee Kiyoung.'

They might have thought of him as the new partner of the God of Sunset.

Even if he wasn't, many people talked like that due to his manipulation of public opinion.

Of course, this wasn't to dismiss those who had such blasphemous thoughts.

The public didn't like sudden changes, which was why they would understand.

With the Sunset Swordsman and the Honorary Cardinal, they were able to protect the continent.

Trying to replace the deceased Lee Kiyoung with him was probably more of an act of instinct.

It was the same as children finding it more reassuring to have two parents than one in most cases.

That was how hard they would've tried to look for me in him.

Song Sookyung of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee being the descendant of the Son of Light was basically the public brainwashing themselves to feel safe.

That was why the video clip I was showing them right now was important. It had amplified public expectations. This was the scene where the guy broke through the Son of Light.

-Oh God...

-Son of Light... What in the world is this...?

Some quietly looked at the sky, speechless. There were also priests shedding tears.

They were rubbing their eyes as if they couldn't believe what they'd just witnessed. Fearful trembles and vomiting ran rampant through the viewers.

It was shocking enough even for me to see Song Sookyung blushing as he painted the room in red.

-That's blasphemy.

When he lifted the glowing sphere, I saw the crowd despair.

-You will be punished. Yes, you will be punished, Son of light. Son of Light...

-Benignore, please punish that demon...

He took my corpse's heart out as he frugally cared for his greed. It was certainly spectacular. It had to have been difficult to find the image of the former Honorary Cardinal in my body after it fell to the ground, dirty and messy.

Everyone already knew how the Son of Light looked because of Kim Hyunsung, but the process was probably a more tragic and desperate scene than they had imagined.
