Abyss sent her power toward the Rule Book. The enormous power swept across the land, and everyone in the Middle world screamed as they were sent flying.

“Ahhhk!!”

The Chun siblings, who had brought Guisoon, and Yeonwoo’s party were flung out of the Middle world, which was being destroyed.

Koo-goo-goong!

It was all thanks to Abyss’s attack.

Ennead’s Great Spirit, who was being attacked, raised his eyebrows.

‘The Rule Book cannot be destroyed only by those who possess the qualification of a Great Spirit.’

Whether the ones attacking it were gods or monarchs didn’t matter. They wouldn’t be able to scratch it. That was one of the universal laws placed on it.

Yet Abyss was boldly able to destroy such an item. What else could it mean?

‘She’s the Great Spirit of Eden? That’s the White Light?’

The Lord of the White Light was Eden’s Great Spirit. After suffering at the hands of Eternal Change, he had fallen into sleep. This was why all the angels worked hard to wake him up. And he became Abyss?

‘How does that make any sense?’

Of course, Eternal Change was a being that made a fool of others by using his Change ability. He was fully capable of doing this, but why would he go out of his way to turn a Great Spirit into a monarch?

It was a waste of his ability. Wouldn’t it be better for Eternal Change to eat the Great Spirit, who would have been a significant source of nutrition?

‘Is it revenge?’

No, there was no way that would be true. Why would a monarch do such a thing?

Ennead’s Great Spirit didn’t have the time to mull over this question.

Kwahng!!

He immediately gave an order to the subordinate hiding in his shadow.

‘Bring me Aslan’s body right now!’

He planned on making a new Rule Book and kidnapping Guisoon. However, Abyss wouldn’t let him do as he pleased.

[Fire Wheel! I never liked you!]

[Koo-oohk!!!]

Ennead’s Great Spirit glared at Abyss when the monarch attacked him. Eden’s Great Spirit had always been incompatible with him. The two of them had a terrible relationship.

This was why Ennead’s Great Spirit hadn’t paid any attention to what had happened to the Lord of the White Light. He had let things be.

It seemed Eternal Change knew this, so he had sent Abyss. Or did he turn Eden’s Great Spirit into a monarch for that very reason?

In the end, Abyss let out a savage attack as she clashed against Ennead’s Great Spirit.

[Die, troublemaker!! I’ll kill you, and it’ll make the snake god indebted to me! I’ll take him with me afterward!]

[Have you lost your mind?]

[You are the one who has lost his mind!]

In the end, Ennead’s Great Spirit didn’t have the chance to fix the Rule Book as he was swept up in a light along with Abyss.

The Chun siblings quickly picked up the fragments of the Rule Book, which Ennead’s Great Spirit had tried to take. They had no idea what was going on, but this was a gain for them.

* * *

Around that time, in a remote location where the monarchs had gathered to grow up, Wind laughed as he approached Hugo.

[It’s as you said, Brother.]

“!”

Wind let out a light laugh. 

[When you asked me to release the monarchs on the earth, I thought you had lost your mind. However, the result speaks for itself. My cute underlings were able to eat the power of the Great Spirits.]

Yes, Hugo had requested Wind to send the second-generation monarchs to the earth. They had just been in time when the Great Spirits were weakened. Hugo had given them information that this would be a great opportunity to get rid of them. That wasn’t all.

[I never expected you to send Abyss to get rid of the Rule Book. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t sure if you knew her identity.]

“I gave her to you. Why wouldn’t I know?”

[I guess so.]

Wind was tickled that Eternal Change already knew Abyss’s identity. He laughed. 

Yes, Time had created Abyss. However…

‘Eternal Change was the one who gave me the ingredients.’

At the time, Eternal Change had been falsely charged with killing the Creators, and he was imprisoned.

Wind had tried to free Eternal Change in secret.

- I am here to save you, my brother. Let’s quickly get out of the Divine world.

However, Eternal Change had refused to leave the prison. Instead, he had handed over a lump that he claimed to be the Great Spirit.

- Take this.

- What is it?

- It’s Eden’s Great Spirit, who I caught a long time ago.

- What??

- He was being so noisy that I changed him into a Cluder. Later on, I kept him in this form as emergency food. I used it to make dumplings.

- Huh.

- If I had kept him as a Great Spirit, the gods would have found out.

- That’s true, but… Why now?

If Eternal Change ate it, he would be able to recover and make himself stronger. Eternal Change spoke.

- I want you to take it instead of me. I’m fine if you make a new monarch with it.

- …!

Cluders were like wild grass. They appeared naturally. It was how the first-generation monarchs came to be.

However, Wind was able to create monarchs as if they were crops. That might have been why Eternal Change had handed it over to Wind.

- If you don’t want to use the Great Spirit to make a monarch, you can just eat it. I don’t care.

Wind had no choice but to bring back the meat dumpling. He had put it in storage because he thought eating it was a waste.

In the end, the exceptionally smart Time had recognized its worth. Of course, no one outside of Wind had been able to make monarchs, but Time was different.

Wind had to spoon-feed the recipes to the others, and they were barely able to make a monarch. But Time was different.

‘That child was extraordinarily intelligent.’

Time gathered the ingredients on his own and made his own comrades. Then Time had used the meat dumpling (Eden’s Great Spirit) to create a third-generation monarch in Abyss. Time molded it as he attached teeth and a tail, and Abyss was reborn in the form of a whale.

‘It seems the Rule Book doesn’t register the Great Spirit to be dead. That was why she was able to destroy the Rule Book.’

That wasn’t all. With each passing generation, Cluders became better and more talented.

Abyss possessed the already strong power of a Great Spirit, and she was of the latest generation.

‘It means she is stronger than the second-generation monarchs.’

Wind knew this very well, so he laughed as he looked at Hugo.

[Well, you did surprise me when you went to meet the Primordial god. I thought you were trying to get yourself killed. You surprised me again this time for an entirely different reason.]

It was why the Rule Book, which was the gem of the Divine world, was destroyed.

The incredibly prideful Lord of the Fire Wheel was about to lose his mind with anger.

[Well, this incident turned out to be beneficial for the snake god, but it is fine if you were able to gain something from the destruction of the Rule Book. I am willing to do anything for you.]

Wind let out a good-natured laugh as he looked at his sibling.

[You should keep your promise now.]

“Promise?”

[Yes. Did you forget about our other sibling Underground, who is asleep? I’m talking about your blood kin.]

Hugo furrowed his brows when he heard the familiar name. 

Eternal Change didn’t have a form like water. Wind could travel anywhere. Flame was a fire that was life itself. Then there was Underground, who kept itself treasured deep beneath the ground.

The four of them were first-generation monarchs, and they were blood siblings who got on well.

[Currently, Underground is in deep sleep, and only you can wake him up. You asked me to send the monarchs in exchange for waking him up.]

“….”

Underground was created from the same matter. He was Eternal Change’s blood sibling. But he had lost his power because of an accident, so Eternal Change had put him to sleep.

Wind laughed as he spoke.

[By now, Underground would have recovered his power somewhat. Let’s wake him up, and we can once again eat everything as we did in the past.]

When Wind gestured with his hand, a familiar monster appeared in front of them. It was none other than Underground.

Hugo chuckled at the enormous monster. 

“Yes. It’s time for me to wake him up.”

[You made the right choice…]

At that moment, Hugo raised his hand toward the monster, and Underground was instantly destroyed. 

It was as if Underground was someone he had never planned on awakening. Underground turned into trash and dispersed into the air.

Find the original at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Taken aback, Wind looked at Hugo.

[Wait. What are you…!]

“It seems you want to awaken your sibling to grow your force once again. However, Underground has been gone for a very long time.”

[What?]

“I already killed Underground. I killed and ate him in the distant past.”

[What?!]

The shocked Wind looked at Hugo with rage in his eyes. Of course, he knew what that implied.

If the story about Underground was a lie, Eternal Change’s reason for sending the monarchs toward the Great Spirits and the Rule Book...

However, Wind couldn’t bring himself to believe this, so he glared at Hugo.

[Didn’t you say the Rule Book contained a rule that suppressed your power? You said you cannot use your power until it’s destroyed.]

“There is no way such a thing would be written in the Rule Book.”

[What?]

“Unless the gods lost their minds, why would they want to write about the Cluders within the holy Rule Book?”

Wind glared at him.

[Does that mean you’ve been doing all of this for the snake god…!!]

“You finally figured it out? Idiot.”

Wind couldn’t hold back his anger when he realized that he had been duped.

[Why? Why would you do this?]

Hugo burst out laughing as if he was dumbfounded. “Are you an idiot? Do you really not know why?”

* * *

Hugo, as well as Eternal Change, hated the existence called Cluders.

‘To eat, they are willing to throw away even their family.’

They ate what belonged to others. They only knew how to pig out by stealing from others. They only knew how to destroy.

They were despicable beings.

‘That includes me.’

The Cluders had killed countless beings and invaded countless lands. As he lived such a life, Eternal Change felt doubt. He hated himself, so he tried to starve himself. However, his instinct as a predator didn’t let him be.

To make matters worse, his instinct as a predator had made him eat his family member.

[It’s fine, brother. You aren’t at fault.]

Underground had been wounded all over and was close to death. Eternal Change’s damn instinct as a Cluder saw his weakened family member, and he didn’t think of it as his familial member was about to die. His instinct had taken priority, and Underground was registered as prey in his mind.

So, because of his instincts, Eternal Change ate a family member whom he loved. To make matters worse, his starving stomach was happy to eat his older brother Underground. His stomach accepted it as if he was eating something delicious.

Eternal Change felt so tormented that he threw up. He made a grave and even tried putting offerings there. However, his starved instinct was unforgiving, as it overrode his sorrow.

His hands were unable to place an offering on his sibling’s grave. In fact, he started destroying the grave to check if he could eat any leftovers. His hands were voracious.

The Cluders were truly trash that only knew about eating. They didn’t feel the need to create graves for their family members. They found it natural to eat their own. They were beasts that only knew how to destroy.

This was why Eternal Change wanted to die, but his instinct as a Cluder didn’t allow him to kill himself. While he had been going through this, he had heard something.

- Did you hear? If a god and Cluder get together, the weaker one dies.

This was why Eternal Change had aimed for the Primordial god. The king of the gods was supposed to be the strongest. However, Eternal Change’s plan had failed, and the Creators had caught him.

- The Creator tribe will be in charge of watching over you.

Creator tribe?

‘Creator tribe, my ass.’

Gods were the same as the Cluders. They only knew how to destroy.

‘They show off their powers and suppress the residents of the colonies.’

However, Eternal Change soon realized that the Creators were different. They were unlike the Cluders, who only knew how to steal and kill. They were a tribe capable of making something. They were a tribe that could create life.

This was why Eternal Change liked them. One could say he fell for them at first sight. Of course, the more he got to know them, the more he realized that the Creators were very laid back and that they could be idiots.

This was why Eternal Change was enraged when the Creators were slaughtered. Moreover, he had realized that the Great Spirits were behind this evil plot.

He promised himself that he would get rid of all of them someday, and countless years had passed like that.

* * *

Wind shook when he saw the look in Eternal Change’s eyes.

[My brother!]

Hugo laughed as he looked back at Wind. He knew the truth.

Wind kept calling him “brother” and acted affectionately toward him. However, he merely wanted the powerful ability of Eternal Change.

Moreover, Wind was the one who had pushed Underground to become stronger and made Underground suffer an accident. He had also sold Flame, their older sister, because she had fallen for a god.

Also, why would Hugo throw away the connections he had made in his current life for the ones from his past life? He had planned on doing this from the start. 

Hugo laughed as he looked at Wind. “Thanks. You got rid of the Great Spirits and the Rule Book for Gun.”

[!]

With his objective achieved, Hugo brought out his power. In the first place, he had come here to kill Wind since he knew only he could get rid of Wind. If Hugo killed him, the Cluders had no reason to come to the earth.

“You will die by my hands.”

[Brother!!!]

“Fuck off! You are no longer my brother.”

[!]

“The only brother I have in this world is Gun.” Hugo sent a death strike toward Wind.
