Chapter 215
She spread her arms wide as if to make a grand point.
"The world has already been ruined twice by those oh-so-great people. Now, we want to do something about it ourselves, but does that bother you so much? Are we supposed to just sit and wait for the Awakeners to save us again, always prioritizing them?"
Her words sounded strange. It was as if she was implying she wasn’t an Awakener herself, and she knew about the two previous apocalypses. Uijae frowned. Gayeong crossed her arms and shook her head with a playful smile.
"Well, I do regret things a little~ I didn’t expect it to happen this quickly. If I’d known, I would have let people feel the fear of the apocalypse before sending them out."
The term "fear of the apocalypse" couldn’t be ignored. Uijae had only learned about it after hearing Gyu-Gyu’s explanation, but Gayeong accepted it as if it were perfectly natural. She accepted everything. Gayeong tilted her head with a curious look.
"Huh? Didn’t you endure it, J? You’re moving around just fine."
"......"
"Oh, I see. Because you’re the traitor of the world, huh? You really are something, always ahead of the curve."
Gayeong’s lips twisted into a smile, dark malice oozing from her expression. The image of people being devoured by giant monsters, the man covered in blood sobbing and clinging to life, flashed in Uijae’s mind. His stomach turned. Were they also dragged into this unwillingly? Or were they brainwashed and driven to their deaths? Gayeong showed no trace of guilt, standing confidently over the blood they shed.
"What’s your goal?"
"My goal?"
Gayeong pulled off the ID card hanging from her neck and tossed it aside. *Splat.* The black liquid quickly dissolved it. Screams echoed in the distance as Uijae tightened his grip on his spear.
