*** Morning of today, Erghon Timezone, Temple Region ***
"Dear Lord… This is the second time in my life that I have appeared before you. Because today I will do the same thing again and kill people…" Ocean was kneeling in front of the giant Cross and confessing his sins in one of the 4 temples, where they could earn points by conquering them during wars in this World. Players would come to these temples during non-war times and pray in accordance with the religions they belonged to.
He was fully equipped with the lower part of his armor, while his chest and back areas were bare. Although the giant cross tattoo consisting of 4 swords on his back made him look like a strong believer, as he stated, he was actually confessing for the second time in his life.
After finishing his prayer, he fully dressed with the remaining pieces of armor put on his helmet, and walked out of the Temple. While he was walking, he suddenly stopped and, continuing to look at the ground, called out. "Will you show up or should I come there and kill you, stranger?"
"I am here on behalf of the old man!" A player whose face could not be seen because he was dressed in full armor emerged from the trees.
"Old man?" After thinking for a while, he smiled. "Finally decided to take action?"
"No! On the contrary, he demands that you give up on your planned work and stop. We were observing you and aware of your intention on solo uprising. He thinks that the time has not yet come and that killing innocents is a wrong action."
"Huh? Didn't he recruit me because I am a murderer? Go and tell him to f.ck off! I am tired of waiting! I don't know when you arrived in this world, but I have been here since the day it first existed. For these bloody 2 years, I have seen countless deaths! This is enough for me! Therefore, I will now make my move with this World's own rules!"
"Is this your last decision?"
"Yes. And tell him this!
Even though he was aware of the possibility that unknown eyes were watching them at that moment, he knew that the system would not make any moves against him due to the vague sentences he made.
He had prepared a perfect plan. He was informed that many new players would be teleported to the Throne Jungle today, contrary to the system constants. And he was ordered to stand outside the jungle and intervene in case of any unexpected player entry into the there.
But he would not obey this order today.
Now that he was familiar with the system, he was sure that this new players' arrival information had already been leaked to the red-eyed malicious players through spies. Therefore, today he would prove himself to KB by wandering around the jungle and killing 10 red-eyed players, he would gain the title of spy, he would be given full access to the system and thus he would learn the names of all the spy players in this World. Since he would only have killed the red-eyed, murderer players, he would not feel remorse. And in the last step, he would hunt and kill these System spies one by one.

And he entered the Throne Jungle earlier than he was told to move. Because he considered the possibility that the red-eyed players had set a trap inside.
However, upon hearing the voices, he quickly ran into the depths of the forest and encountered that terrible sight.
"H...."
"H….E…..LP…"
"...h….hH…ELP….u….SS"

Numerous new players, evident from their civilian clothes as the expected new group, had gathered in a square. More precisely, they were forced to do so…
Giant tentacles entered the bodies of all the players, and lifted them up into the sky, forcing them all to slowly bleed to death… Just like he had experienced long ago…
But this time the situation was different because there were many assailants, not only 1.
KB was standing in the middle of the square, folding her arms and just watching like a leader.
Vapor of xJx Alliance… Zorja of RES Alliance… Wettyburns of WAR… Ahmed of BRE… Erti of AND… Jeff of Wtv… Clouds of SBG… Ender of GBR… Kitty of LOV… Many players he knew before and were sure to be reliable were there. And all of their fingers turned into giant tentacles, just like KB's transformation in the terrible night he lived, and they lifted the poor players sky who had just reached this World.
He was sure now… KB was not a human… And so are those in that bloody field now… The spy race was actually a completely different race from humans, like monsters…
"So you came. I knew you would do such an unruly thing again." Surprisingly, KB was not angry but was smiling.
"W…What is this?" Ocean couldn't make sense of what he was watching because KB had attacked him in the same way that night, but it was to punish him. The current victims in front of him were seeing this world for the first time, and there was no possibility of them committing a punishable crime. And unlike the past attack on him, the tentacles had pierced the vital organs of the current victims. None of them had a chance to survive, but strangely the spies didn't kill them and kept their blood… No… The tentacles' skin were sucking the blood of innocents.
"This is none of your business! The plan has changed, you will immediately go to the GBR hive. Today there will be chaos there that has never been experienced before. And you will bring the bodies of the 10 dead humans you are obliged to present to me… Today!"
It wasn't actually a coincidence that Lighty took Cloak and the new civilians to the GBR Hive that day. Lighty was actually another victim of that night long ago when Hell was trapped. She was one of the two human players who knew that Cloak's true identity was Hell, and these two players, Ocean and Lighty, were unaware that each other knew this fact. That morning, KB had given her clues that would lead Lighty to the Throne Jungle without her suspecting, and then lead her to the GBR Hive. And she had three purposes for doing this.
The first is to provide additional resources for the production of Athena's blood...
The second is to massacre newly arrived defenseless players in a way that has never been experienced before, disrupting the moral balance of the master players in that world and causing more bloody actions to occur...
And finally, to ensure that the other player who knows the truth about Cloak dies...
Mona and had planned this together... And the person who organized the massacres inside the GBR castle was actually KB, not Ocean. He made his confessions about innocent people on the GBR battlefield just to make other players hate him...
"Today? I thought there was no deadline…"
"Do not talk and do as I ordered!"
"..."
.
.
.
It took 5 seconds in total. The spies could have stopped him, but they were unprepared because they had not expected so much disobedience. In just 5 seconds, Ocean glided through all of them with imperceptibly fast steps and swung his sword over and over again.
And the bodies of the new innocent players, who were waiting for their deaths, were torn apart and scattered around… All of them!
"What have you done!" KB was now angry.
"You asked me to kill 10 humans. I think there's more here." Ocean had not previously planned to kill innocents but made this decision just seconds before. His conscience was screaming at him by asking why not killing the spies instead of the innocents, but he knew that technically he couldn't kill them yet, and on the other hand, he wanted to end the pain of these new players as soon as possible. Because it was clear that there was no salvation for them.
"Tsch!" KB took a deep breath to control her anger. "So… You want to be a spy now?"
"No…" Ocean, who realized today that if he became a spy, he would end his humanity and become a completely different being, was aware that he needed some more time to realize his plan.
"Then?"
"You always complained about my rebellious acts. I am aware that you still doubt me because I killed humans who will die soon anyway. Then allow me to show my loyalty by fulfilling the task you just gave me… I will go GBR Hive and kill everyone on there!"
