It’s like a scene from a movie playing slowly.
A colleague came to save me when I was trapped in a cage, and the enemy’s bullet pierced the colleague’s chest. Isn’t this a pretty classic sequence? The difference is that it feels incomparably more real than a movie.
The moment the doctor’s body collapsed, I felt a line break inside me. At the same time, intense anger boiled over!
I feel that the ‘subject of judgment’ is expanding. Now, the scales of justice have placed a new group on the scales again.
— Laaaaa!
Light exploded from the entire body, and the balance spun in a spiral, tearing the cage apart. In the midst of chaos, I gained freedom again.
My expanded senses noticed something flying from the sky. Like a new combat helicopter –
The next moment, an unimaginable light source illuminated me. Is this what it feels like to be exposed to a flashbang that you’ve only heard about? There was so much light that I couldn’t see anything. The whole world was full of light. Soon, not only light but also an enormous noise began to be heard.
Can’t see anything, can’t hear anything.
It was only then that I realized the strategy that the management bureau had devised in that brief moment of conflict with me. He’s going to waste time by making me do nothing with a flashbang of enormous power!
What is the point of simply taking time? The same question is foolish. An organization that has protected the world against the chaos of the entire planet for a long time would have guessed that the tremendous power that I wield now would never be obtained without a price. Maybe you thought there was some kind of time limit.
Paradoxically, when both my vision and hearing were paralyzed, I gained peace. I thought in a white space with nothing. To what extent should the judgment go?
I wondered what he was thinking during the chaotic fight, but at the same time, I couldn’t help it. Would it be possible to execute someone without a trial just because the world is in chaos?
When a heinous criminal is caught, many people always tell him to kill him immediately. Decapitate, burn alive, physically castrate. That feeling of anger may also be one of the driving forces behind humanity’s pursuit of ‘justice’.
But that can’t be possible. Even if the person who killed someone in front of the camera is caught, isn’t the trial meant to punish them after three trials over the course of several years to eliminate any sense of injustice or question?
Even this frustration is the essence of justice and the essence of my blessings.
Although it is clearly wrong to harm an innocent colleague, a doctor, the Bureau is clearly an organization that protects the world. The entire group can never be judged. In the first place, shouldn’t the situation just be seen as close to a kind of ‘accidental accident due to lack of information’?
If you look at it that way, there doesn’t seem to be a need to punish the management bureau agent by taking his life. I’m sorry to the doctor who passed away, but let’s end it with money. She’s not completely dead, because she’ll come back to life if she goes out anyway.
Of course, I am not saying that I will receive money from the administration and deliver it to the teacher’s family. Let’s just take it easy and take it easy.
I decided to beat them up by destroying a lot of the bureau’s equipment.
After coming to this conclusion in my mind, I waited until I saw or heard something again. In some ways, it may seem that he is just thinking strange thoughts while being helpless from the flashbang, but there is nothing to worry about.
The Bureau’s tactics had one fatal flaw from the beginning.
I’m sorry to say this, but the main body in charge of the battle in my blessing is not me, but Libra. My role is simply to provide a ‘standard’ for the scales!

– Eunsol Lee
A strange multi-legged walking robot whose identity is unknown! When three giant robots surrounded us in a triangular formation, my grandfather also lost his way and had to stop.
Obviously, there were no traces of humans on that robot, but the moment the cannon protruding from the top of the robot was aimed at us, we could understand its intention without conversation.
It means that if you move one more step, I will kill you.
“But they don’t shoot at all.”
Grandfather sighed.
“It doesn’t look like we have much power, so we’re going to take them in and interrogate them. Wouldn’t that be quite frustrating in its own way since they don’t know what’s going on? We are the ones who will solve that question. It’s tiring. “It won’t end right away if you get arrested, but if the state recovers in the meantime, I don’t know what to do with the situation.”
Just when my grandfather and I were about to start thinking about our complicated thoughts, we suddenly heard a huge light and noise!
…
The whole world stopped.
This is what happens when people are exposed to too strong light. The whole world was filled with light, nothing could be seen and nothing could be heard.
How much time has passed? It felt like about 10 minutes had passed, but after being hit by a flashbang, even my sense of time became strange, so it was difficult to judge it accurately.
When I came to my senses, I realized that I was being moved again by my grandfather’s hands. Since your grandfather is an agent, did you come to your senses earlier?
“What is it?”
“You’ve come to your senses now. I don’t know the situation either. “When I came to my senses, all the robots had disappeared.”
“Elena!”
“what?”
“Can’t you see Elena over there? Elena is throwing her thunderbolts everywhere from the sky!”
I barely grasped the situation. Elena, who had clearly been helpless in front of the Bureau’s army, gained incredible strength again and began to run wild!
Grandfather laughed.
“Eunsol, in your eyes, that looks like Elena, but in my eyes, I just see a yellow dot.”
Instead of answering, I got off my grandfather’s hand and started running. Obviously, Elena wasn’t able to use the blessing of justice on the Bureau before, so how could this happen?
I don’t know. However, you can figure out the situation later by going out and asking slowly. I ran frantically towards the old school building.
I ran endlessly and entered the interior of the old school building, took down the badge installed on the first floor for camouflage, and began following the passage leading to the underground city. Inside the passage was Aurelia.
“… I thought you went to the underground city alone, but were you waiting for us?”
“I was planning on waiting for you for about 10 minutes. “The situation is confusing, but I thought it would be easy for a newly established person to come to terms with it, but you’ve had a harder time than I thought.”
A crude tone of voice, as if he were criticizing us. She wasn’t really a colleague to begin with, but this girl is the real deal!
“There is no need to lose energy over trivial things. After all, wasn’t it because you were afraid of seeing the Lord alone that you waited for us?”
In response to Pero Cain’s sarcastic reply, Aurelia chose not to make any rebuttal but simply turned back and walked away.
I thought as I walked through the underground city for a while. The decision to capture Aurelia and bring her back was appropriate. There is absolutely no way for us to find our way in this place.
Originally, I had no idea about the structure of the underground city, but at least there was sufficient lighting and good ventilation within the city. However, the underground city literally collapsed due to the ground subsidence caused by Elena while escaping from the Lord not long ago.
I used the headlamp function of the hazmat suit to secure a minimum amount of light, but that was all. It was like a collapsed ruin everywhere, so I couldn’t tell where to go even with my own eyes.
Only Aurelia, who had a thorough understanding of the entire city’s terrain, walked away as if nothing had happened.
…
“Where are you going? Guess where the state is?”
“I’ve been thinking about it since yesterday. According to what you say, your father descended on the body of a boy who was a member of your group, but his body was in a dying state.”
“I think it’s more body theft than advent, but the situation is as you said.”
“Where should I go to recover my dying body? It is probably the safest place in this place where the ground has collapsed. Also, it may need to be the place where your father’s power is strongest.”
“There seems to be some kind of sacred place within the underground city?”
“It’s similar. “Strictly speaking, this entire city is my father’s sanctuary, but even within the sanctuary, it is a particularly sacred place.”
A particularly sacred place within a sanctuary, a sanctuary within a sanctuary.
… For us who have to destroy that sacred being, it feels like we are walking directly into the jaws of the enemy. Is it really okay? I heard the outline of the plan from Ga-in, but I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
After traveling for nearly 30 minutes, the moment I entered the strange passage, I felt that this was the place. Unlike the underground city where all facilities had collapsed, light was coming from this passage. Shortly after entering the passage, an unidentified girl appeared.
“You guys really came this far. iced coffee… . “Everything in the world is in the hands of the Great One, and His predictions are never wrong.”
12 years old? 13 years old? An unknown radiance emanated from the body of a girl who appeared to be in her early teens at most. Aurelia stepped forward.
“Seong, did your father give you strength?”
“Aurelia. Don’t speak low. The Father of all gave me a revelation. Now I am the new pillar of the church.”
The girl who said that had boundless pride on her face. Aurelia’s expression was cruelly distorted as she finally realized that her ‘father’ had abandoned her and appointed her a new saint.
Beside me, Pero Gain said as if it was absurd.
“Well, this bastard is such a great guy. In the meantime, she is a ‘criminal minor saint’. “Do you know what that means?”
Grandfather laughed.
“Did you think Elena might come all the way here? “Kid, by the looks of it, you’re an elementary school student, right?”
The body of the girl who was agitated by the word ‘kid’ began to glow. Aurelia took a step forward.
“Wait a minute, Seong-ya. “I didn’t come to fight you.”
“What do you mean?”
“I am… . “I just came here to ask my father a question.”
An open sneer appeared on the face of the girl who was said to be a new saint.
“That’s why your father deemed you unworthy! What kind of question is this? “The very fact that you dare to question everyone’s father and try to guess him with your poor head is your shortcoming.”
Ah~! Zooey said that Aurelia had gotten so thick that she stopped listening to her, so she brought in an even crazier kid as her new saint. It’s a little bit of a baby.
Even during this, Aurelia spoke as calmly as possible.
“okay. Holy, no, what you say is correct. However, I would like to solve my doubts just once. Even if you kill me after that, you can kill me. Saint, no, father! I believe you are looking at me through this child’s eyes right now. I have dedicated my whole life to you. “Are you not even willing to have a brief conversation?”
