I continued running in the midst of hell.
The junior had thrown away the hamr she cherished sowhere and was running while gasping for breath, holding only the docunts in her hand.
The town where we had been living our daily lives until recently had beco the heart of hell, filled with blood and screams.
A dung beetle speeding down the road like a burning bowling ball was knocking people over like bowling pins, and rocks flying in the sky were spurting high-pressure water, tearing people to pieces.
Even I, who had thoroughly investigated Objects, saw unfamiliar Objects erging and violating people.
Every second was a continuous tension.
If my Monocle quickly showed the characteristics of those Objects, I had to determine my response accordingly.
[It attacks moving objects.]
"Stop!"
An impressive giant eyeball tadpole was floating in the air, swiveling around.
However, people who didn't know what abilities that Object had were simply turning their backs and fleeing in terror at its dreadful appearance.
The stories of those who fled were horrifying.
The eyeball tadpole spurted tears from its eyes, and those who tried to flee slowly, but without stopping, lted away, writhing in agony before dying.
'Damn, was it a mistake to make that deal?'
Thanks to having diligently fled before the situation occurred, we had already arrived at the outskirts of Songpa-gu.
Looking back, I saw the exhausted junior and a path made of blood and corpses.
With a single choice, Songpa-gu had beco hell.
As soon as the junior and I broke through the boundary, the military arrived, set up barricades, and began sealing it off.
We survived.
But the blood-stained road I had seen when I turned back seed to cling to my eyes, refusing to leave.
***
The loud sound of a helicopter rang in my ears.
The area around Songpa-gu, where the Central Research Institute had been located, was already restricted, but that wasn't very important.
Rather, the attention and views that this footage would gain were much more important for 'Daily Object'.
People were screaming and fleeing, and the shattered roads here and there no longer seed to serve their function.
On top of that, with the nurous Objects that had been isolated in the Central Research Institute now released, the area near Songpa-gu had beco the descent of hell on earth.
What was even more dreadful was sothing else.
It was the fact that the governnt had virtually abandoned the residents of Songpa-gu.
At the barricade line encircling the outskirts of Songpa-gu, soldiers were desperately maintaining the front line while pouring in firepower.
After all, most of the Objects that had been transferred to the Central Research Institute were dangerous ones that private research institutes had deed too difficult to isolate.
Protecting citizens who had fled to the outskirts? There was no way they could worry about that when a giant wart that could instantly regenerate even if blown to pieces was flying over.
However, the cara of 'Daily Object' was not interested in other Objects.
The fierce battle at the Songpa-gu outskirts front line? That was also not of interest.
The cara was simply capturing the two Objects fiercely fighting and clashing on the site of the forr Central Research Institute.
Lophiomus, which had plunged Korea into shock and terror 30 years ago.
The gray Reaper, which had gained attention again due to the Seoul Forest Village Fire incident.
The match that had been inseparable from Internet 'vs. battle debate' was now unfolding for real.
***
On the monitor at Sehee Research Institute, the heart of Seoul was being shown in real-ti, crumbling amidst the loud sounds of helicopters.
The battle seed unfavorable for Reaper.
Lophiomus was indiscriminately destroying buildings and wildly lashing out its tentacles at Reaper, with such ferocity that the concrete was being pulverized into dust.
Reaper was simply running around with small steps, occasionally displaying strange behaviors.
Things like clinging to a traffic light and then fleeing, or luring Lophiomus to push cars, most of which seed rather aningless.
Occasionally, it seed to attack Lophiomus at the cost of one of its arms, but those attacks seed solely intended to focus Lophiomus's attention on itself.
"Lophiomus's skin is famous for not getting a single scratch even from tens of billions of missiles. But this! Gray Reaper! Is easily destroying it!"
Whenever such a scene appeared, the 'Daily Object' reporter would spit while highlighting Reaper's fearsoness.
In particular, he would inform of the approximate property damage caused by the fight between Reaper and Lophiomus, which amounted to an enormous sum just from the value of the buildings they had destroyed.
With a brief clash, a yellow fla shot up and Reaper's left arm and one of Lophiomus's tentacles disappeared.
While its expression remained blank, its left arm, which looked torn to shreds, seed extrely painful.
"Ugh, will the Reaper be okay?"
Reaper and Lophiomus were always getting hurt simultaneously, but the truth was that Lophiomus seed to have a much bigger advantage. Even with the sa amount of bodily damage, the size difference was too large.
"It'll be fine. A Reaper burning like that is truly amazing."
Sister Sehee said confidently.
Listening to Sister Sehee's words, I began to carefully observe the gray Reaper shown on the monitor.
"Ah!"
Upon closer inspection, I could definitely tell.
It was just hard to notice because it was so small compared to Lophiomus.
"Is the light emitted by the Reaper getting brighter?"

"I don't know the reason, but the Reaper is getting stronger."
***
Power was overflowing from my body.
That ant there were many humans dying in agony around .
The stronger I beca, the farther and wider I could see death.
I spewed out all the incoming power with the feeling of vomiting, imprinting countless thods of death into my mind.
And like stacking dominoes, I piled up the conditions one by one.
My goal was to neutralize Lophiomus.
With the determination to collapse everything in my sight, I stacked up the 'thods of destruction'.
The 'ways to destroy' visible to my eyes were just vague hints when it ca to Objects.
But for everything except Objects, I could see more concrete thods.
It was sothing closer to fate than just thods.
Completely unrelated actions coming together to lead to death like the butterfly effect.
For example, placing a pebble 3m ahead, clapping, and turning around caused a startled rabbit to step on the pebble, trip, and die.
While fighting Lophiomus now, I was establishing the conditions for collapse one by one.
It's ti to see the result of those dominoes.
***
Lophiomus opened its mouth wide and laughed.
It was certain of its decisive victory.
The regeneration of that small thing clearly had its limits.
The small thing that had been endlessly absorbing power from its surroundings was rapidly losing strength as the humans around it disappeared.
All that was left was to thoroughly chew up and devour that small thing.
As the small thing stopped and stomped its feet, the ground began collapsing indiscriminately.
The sudden collapse of the ground seed laughable to Lophiomus.
The crumbling earth was hardly a threat.
It would soon climb up the cliff and definitely devour it.
!
Then, as it fell to the ground, Lophiomus felt like it heard [the scream of the world].
A huge 'sothing' was reaching out toward Lophiomus from the other side of the world.
The 'sothing' that had been standing behind the small thing quickly disappeared, but Lophiomus still felt endless terror.
No, all Objects that could sense the magnitude of that 'sothing' felt the sa.
Terrified, Lophiomus threw itself into the pit.
***
A massive collapse occurred.
A massive collapse so huge it should be called super disaster.
A sinkhole with a diater spanning several kiloters and a depth where the bottom could not be seen had occurred.
Even the 'Daily Object' reporter who had been relentlessly chewing on Reaper opened his eyes wide and forgot to speak.
When Reaper suddenly stopped, clapped twice, and then stomped the ground three tis with its small feet, the ground collapsed.
The process itself was dramatic.
A small vehicle overturned, and like a pinball, the fallen cars flowed into the clustered vehicles and exploded.
The tanker truck there also exploded.
The vibration then toppled the surrounding buildings in one direction like dominoes, and all the gas pipes exploded in succession.
It was like a scene from a movie.
Lophiomus was caught up in the collapse and fell into the bottomless pit-like sinkhole, making its position impossible to see.
"W...wow? the Reaper is really sothing, isn't it?"
"I-it...is?"
Even the people at the Sehee Research Institute watching the broadcast on TV could not close their mouths at the trendous incident caused by the Reaper.
***
Three days after the disaster that ca to be known as the Gray Collapse, the world seed to be slowly recovering from the shock.
At first, everyone was trembling in fear.
There were many opinions that they should abandon and leave Seoul.
Among the Objects that fell into the sinkhole, there were many Objects with flight capabilities, and uncontrollable Objects like Lophiomus also fell in, so that's why.
A terrifying place where a monster that could destroy Seoul could erge at any ti!
People began to leave Seoul for other regions in droves.
However, no matter how much ti passed, the Objects did not co up.
A few scraps were observed coming up, but such things could be easily eliminated with firearms.
In this way, Seoul gradually regained stability.
