God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 001
1. Regressor
[The final disaster begins.]
[The final disaster is ‘God’.]
God.
Beings who protect humanity from disaster and give players the power to become stronger.
Those transcendent beings appeared as enemies at the last moment and destroyed humanity on Earth.
Rebellion? Resistance?
I couldn’t even dream of it.
In the face of overwhelming power and force.
The struggles of humans were not much different from the writhing of insects.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
The only human male left on this blue planet where all humans, buildings, and even the terrain were completely destroyed.
He looked around, breathing heavily.
‘Did everyone get hit?’
Curly hair, pale skin, golden-blue armor, and golden lightning swirling around.
An emerald trident floating around, a hammer emitting blue lightning, and a pure white greatsword in hand.
The man’s name is Lee Si-Hyeon.
He was the only human who survived against God.
But the situation was not good.
No, it was the worst.
Not only his comrades, who he could have entrusted his life to, but all of humanity met a terrible death.
My legs felt as heavy as water-soaked cotton and I couldn’t move them very well.
In addition, his left arm had already been cut off.
Still, the man’s sinister gaze remained.
[Indeed. I guess someone with that level of skill can handle my lightning.]
Phage.
Someone descended from high in the sky with a blinding flash of golden lightning.
A full beard and a laurel wreath.
Looking down from the split sky was Zeus, the king of Olympus and the supreme god.
[I never thought I would beat Hercules.]
The black-haired handsome man next to me grumbled.
The first fallen angel and the god of pride, Lucifer.
[What was that guy’s nickname?]
[Devil, the strongest human, and… … .]
A man with an eye patch and two crows on his shoulder.
Odin, the supreme god of Asgard, answered Lucifer’s question.
[‘God’s natural enemy’.]
[What an arrogant name.]
Ssssssss.
The blond handsome man, Archangel Michael, contrasting Lucifer, added:
[Is this all you can do?]
[Well, that’s a good thing for a human.]
[Even so, none of us could win.]
Zeus, Odin, Lucifer, Michael.
The beings that rule the great world acknowledged the vision.
He became so powerful that he could defeat several gods with his human body.
But that was it.
No matter how strong you are, in the end you are just a ‘human’.
They were literally showing the gap as to why God is called God.
“Let me ask you just one thing.”
Sihyeon asked, looking at the hundreds of gods surrounding him, including the Four Supreme Gods.
“If you were going to destroy humans anyway… … why didn’t you just wipe them out from the beginning?”
[… … .]
“Why did you create such a useless, disastrous thing?”
[Well… … .]
After stroking his chin for a moment.
Odin answered.
[Because it’s fun.]
“what?”
[It wouldn’t be fun if it was swept away from the beginning. It’s so funny to see a hopeful human struggling.]
[Hahaha. You think we’re giving you a favor and you’re happily accepting it.]
[Yes. Actually, we were the ones who sent the disaster from the other world.]
[Thanks for the fun. Isn’t that enough?]
“Hahaha… … Hahaha. I see. That’s right.”
Sihyeon laughed after hearing the gods’ answer.
It was vain.
To prevent the destruction of humanity.
The countless disasters he had to overcome to prevent the deaths of his comrades, the countless demons he had to kill, and the endless trials he had to endure.
They were all just a game against ‘humanity, which was destined to perish anyway’.
I was so devastated that I could only laugh.
“ha ha ha…….”
[Have you lost your mind?]
[How stupid. Is this why you can’t be human?]
Zeus lifted his golden spear.
[You are also a helpless human being. Lee Si-hyeon.]
Flash!
[bye.]
The moment when Zeus’ thunderbolt engulfed Shihyeon’s body.
Time has stopped.
[Phew. I almost was late.]
Soon, what appeared before Si-hyeon’s eyes was a god with shoulder-length short hair and an appearance that could not be determined to be male or female.
He was Loki, the god of mischief and son of Odin.
[You can’t die like this.]
“Loki? How… … .”
[See you later.]
Sihyeon didn’t even have time to figure out the situation.
Loki waved his hand and countless messages filled his eyes.
[Warning! A powerful force is controlling the system!]
[The system is #$%^#^$%… … ]
… …
[Warning! An unknown force begins to surround God’s natural enemy, ‘Lee Si-Hyeon’.]
From then on, time began to flow backwards.
His body, once made up of muscles, became lean again, and numerous scars disappeared.
The magical power in my body gradually diminished and then disappeared.
The items Sihyeon was wearing were changed to bright-colored costumes.
‘Here is… … ?’
[Reverted to May 5, 2022.]
Passover.
With notification that the regression was successful.
People who had been stopped started moving again.
[Sihyeon, remember one thing.]
In Sihyeon’s head.
Loki’s voice rang out.
[The system is not for God. It is for ‘humans’.]
An amusement park in Jamsil, Seoul.
“Crunch.”
“mom and dad!”
“Hey! Aren’t you standing there?”
“Don’t be a swindler!”
On Children’s Day, May 5th, this part of the amusement park was a very peaceful sight.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”
Sihyeon stuttered as if she couldn’t believe it.
‘I’m definitely… … dead?’
But without any time to figure out the situation.
A message rang out before Sihyeon’s eyes.
[The first disaster begins.]
[The first disaster is ‘Goblin’.]
“Krrrrr.”
“Keeeeeek!”
With the appearance of a holographic window appearing before the eyes of the selected players.
The air split apart and a crack appeared.
And then the demons came out of it.
Goblin.
It was the first disaster to strike mankind.
“Whoa!”
“Hey, what are these?”
“What, augmented reality?”
A goblin suddenly appeared.
Most people knew it was ‘fake’.
That was understandable.
This is an amusement park.
Because there were so many things that looked even faker than goblins.
but.
Crunch.
“Gyaaaah!”
Only after a group of goblins finally mauled a man.
People could tell that this wasn’t fake.
“Krrrrrr… … .”
A protruding belly.
Green skin, long nose, hunched back, and crude axe.
Although they were only as tall as an adult man’s waist, dozens of them were filled with murderous intent, so people couldn’t help but panic.
Some citizens who bravely tried to stand up to them had no choice but to die.
Even if they are the weakest goblins, they are still demons.
There was no way I could beat those guys who couldn’t even use guns.
Chomp!
Was it because there were so many people?
“Run away!”
“Police! What are the police doing?”
“Eww!”
Blood splattered everywhere and screams filled the air.
And in their eyes a giant holographic window was created.
[You have completed the main quest, .]
Goal: Kill 10 or more goblins within the time limit.
*When killing a player, it counts as killing 5 goblins.
Reward: [Distributable Stat +4]
Additional rewards: Paid differently depending on contribution.
If you fail: Death
[The trait blooms.]
[Time left until the first disaster ends: 12 hours.]
[The region you are currently in is ‘Songpa-gu’.]
[Travel to other areas is not possible.]
Some of those chosen as players began to fight against the goblins one by one.
Even though they don’t have weapons right now, they have been given stats.
“Keeeeeek!”
“Eww!”
“Some crazy guy is behind me… … .”
As soon as you obtain the quest.
The room fell into even greater chaos.
Players blocking the goblins in front.
This was because several players hesitated and then stabbed him in the back.
“Two, if you just kill two… … .”
“You crazy kids!”
“Let’s all work together to catch the goblins!”
“Hey, don’t make me laugh! How can I catch ten monsters like that!”
“Whoa!”
The survivors’ logic also made sense.
Despite their small size, the goblins continued to bite players even after being stabbed and cut in several places on their bodies.
Most players are in a situation where they are pushed back by those goblins.
But since I would die if I didn’t complete the quest, I decided to hit him in the back of the head.
egoistic mind.
This was even more evident when it came to ‘survival’.
‘I don’t know what happened, though.’
Running away from the goblins.
Sihyeon muttered.
‘We need to get to a safe place first. We need to use our special ability to catch those damned guys.’
Sihyeon’s current power is not enough to put an end to this chaos.
Sihyeon, who had made that decision, moved to the employee-only passageway.
Since the disaster was imminent, we had to get to a safe place and prepare ourselves for the goblins.
‘characteristic.’
Since it is something that is imprinted on the soul, all players will obtain it at the start of the disaster.
Indicates the identity of the player.
[Arsenal of the Brilliant God (EX)]
Designate and steal the god’s unique item.
1 unique item per 10 levels, up to 12 items can be stolen
Additional effects are triggered depending on the number of unique items you have
When robbed, unique items are adjusted to E grade, and promoted when a certain level of proficiency is achieved.
[The ‘first item’ can be looted immediately due to the trait effect.]
[You can only take one unique item from a god.]
[You cannot steal items of the same type.]
Skills, traits, and item grades are broadly divided into seven categories.
From the alphabet SS, S, A, B, C, D, E.
The characteristics of the vision were EX grade, surpassing the best ‘SS grade’ among them.
EX(Extraordinary).
Out of standard, ‘transcendent’ grade.
This meant a grade that surpassed all grades.
‘That makes sense.’
Unique item.
This is an item imbued with the special power of God.
An item that only players who have made a contract with ‘God’ can obtain.
The special ability of the vision was to be able to steal items from other gods without ignoring such conditions.
Additionally, if Shihyeon steals a unique item through a trait, the original god or his contractor will not be able to use his item.
This was the biggest reason why Shihyeon was called ‘God’s natural enemy’.
Stealing an item that can draw out 100% of the power of the gods.
Any god could not help but fear this.
‘The first item you need to get is… … .’
When the ‘Arsenal of the Brilliant God’ is opened, you can steal one unique item without any conditions.
The most destructive of them all, immediately available, difficult to obtain later, and extremely efficient when grown from the beginning.
An item possessed by Sihyeon’s ‘main enemy’.
Sihyeon wondered what item would satisfy all of these conditions.
‘When I first unlocked the traits, I didn’t know what to choose… … but now it’s different.’
And the conclusion was one.
[Trait: Activates ‘Splendid Armory of the Gods (EX)’.]
[*As this is the first unique item, you can steal it without reaching level 10.]
[Take the item you want.]
[Take the item ‘Astrape (E)’ from ‘Zeus’, the god of the sky.]
Gulp.
bang!
With the activation of Sihyeon’s special trait.
Lightning struck from the sky.
The lightning came through the ceiling of the amusement park and landed in Si-Hyeon’s hand like a bird meeting its owner.
Phagec… … .
Astrape.
It was a sphere the size of a palm.
‘Loki… … What on earth are you planning?’
How did this guy regress himself?
What is their purpose, what are their wishes, are they allies or enemies?
As of now, it is unknown.
‘And it doesn’t matter.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.
‘The important thing is that I got another chance. Whether it was just Loki’s prank or the bigger picture doesn’t matter.’
Swish.
‘Now that I’ve come back like this, I won’t let the same thing happen again.’
Ruler of Olympus, holding the thunderbolt of Zeus.
Sihyeon took steps towards the goblins.
Zeus’ Olympus.
Odin’s Asgard.
Michael’s Eden.
Lucifer’s Hell.
“wait.”
Flash!
“I will drag you down from that fancy throne.”
