Theo continued walking without showing that he saw the serpent, while the others started screaming.
Lee Hyunsung: "What are you doing? You're going to get yourself killed!"
Theo: "Shut up, you fucking japanese mc. This doesn't concern you."
Theo, Agares, and the Summer Queen advanced together.
The serpent saw them, but Theo raised his aura, causing the serpent to turn its head. Its instincts told it that attacking would mean instant death.
Theo's only fear was The Most Ancient Dream (I won't reveal who that is to avoid spoilers).
Some corrupted constellations (demons and demon kings) were curious about Theo.
Theo didn't say anything and kept moving forward.
He needed to cross a ruined bridge.
No constellations had sponsored him, perhaps because they were afraid, but Theo didn't care. Clearly, the constellations could sense Theo's power. The serpent turned its attention to Kim Dokja and Yoo Sangah, chasing them.
The dokkaebi increased the difficulty of the main scenario, elevating it from E to D. This caused demonic humans to appear.
Theo set up a barrier and continued walking.
Anyone who touched the barrier would be vaporized. Dokja's group passed by Theo, but he ignored them and kept moving.
The serpent eventually destroyed the bridge. A constellation intervened, transforming the bridge so that only two people could cross at a time. Dokja lay on the ground due to the serpent's attack, with demonic humans approaching him. Some tried to touch Theo, but they were vaporized upon contact with the barrier. The dokkaebi then redirected their focus to Dokja.
Theo turned to the Ice Queen.
Theo: "Summer Queen, take Yoo Sangah and cross the bridge."
Summer Queen: "What about you, my lord?"
Theo: "Agares and I will stay here and watch this man's fight, right, Agares?"
Agares: "Hahahaha, this will be fun."
Kim Dokja was initially beaten up by the demonic humans.
Theo created a chair and popcorn, sitting down while Agares fanned him with a fan.
Theo happily ate the popcorn. Suddenly, Dokja used one of his skills, a bookmark, to fight the demonic humans. From a distance, the sound of slashing was heard, and a man appeared—Yoo Joonghyuk.
Theo observed him from afar.
Yoo Joonghyuk locked eyes with Dokja. Yoo Joonghyuk was a regressor but had never seen Dokja before.
Yoo Joonghyuk: "Who are you?"
Dokja trembled as Yoo Joonghyuk grabbed him by the throat, holding him over the broken edge of the bridge.
If Joonghyuk let go, Dokja would fall to his death. Joonghyuk questioned him, and after finishing with Dokja, he turned to Theo.
Joonghyuk began his interrogation.
Dokja told him that he knew him and claimed to be a prophet.
Yoo Joonghyuk then asked a critical question: "Prophet, do you think I'll let you fall?"
Dokja responded with a few words and then answered Joonghyuk.
Dokja: "you will let me fall, and you'll fuck off."
Joonghyuk: "Correct."
Joonghyuk released Dokja, who fell.
A water serpent appeared and swallowed Dokja whole. As Dokja was being swallowed, he cursed Joonghyuk.
Dokja: "Son of a bitch."
Joonghyuk then turned to Theo.
Yoo Joonghyuk: "Who are you?"
Theo: "I'm not like the others. If you try to touch me, you'll die. I don't want to be your companion, so fuck off now."
Agares looked at Joonghyuk and increased his aura. Theo and Agares crossed the bridge in less than a second. Joonghyuk couldn't understand what had happened but continued his journey, realizing that these people were dangerous and decided not to interfere, at least for now.
Theo then joined the Summer Queen.
Summer Queen: "This world is so interesting. I've never seen such tall buildings before."
Agares: "I agree. I've always watched from the 98th floor, but I've never seen buildings this large, and they're everywhere, even if they're in ruins."
Theo: "These are nothing."
Yoo Sangah approached Theo.
Yoo Sangah: "Where's Dokja? Why isn't he with you?"
Theo: "That man dropped him off the bridge."
Yoo Sangah: "What did you say?! Why didn't you save him?"
Theo, with a devilish smile: "Why should I help?"
Agares: "Hahahahaha, that's exactly what I'd expect from my lord."
Yoo Sangah was furious and about to attack when Lee Hyunsung intervened. Lee Gilyoung tugged at Lee Hyunsung.
Lee Gilyoung: "Oppa, isn't Dokja coming back?"
Tears started to form in his eyes. Theo looked at him.
Theo: "He'll be back, but be patient."
Lee Gilyoung didn't trust Theo, remembering how Theo had taken a man's heart right in front of him in the metro. Everyone waited in the metro, uncertain of what would happen next.
