".......

It flashes white in front of my eyes. Breathing gets rough. My head is hot.

...brother?"

I wanted to call him out with my mouth, but my voice didn't come out.

My vision is shaky. My legs are weak.

Why, why, why.

Questions ensued in the tail.

You've been my brother. Thank you.

The words of the rain pass through the short Mali head that saved him.

The word used to connect himself with the rain.

The relationship between the two is more than just a brother, not a brother.

It was a word that proved to be connected.

But... why not?

To Kim Tae-hyun, are you saying that?

Like... you don't need yourself anymore.

'No.'

It can't be. You and I have gone through so many battles.’

from the beginning to the end of the Devil's Bridge Satan, the Four Heavenly Kings, the seat of evil.

Countless battles have been fought, countless battlefields crossed with rainfall.

He has fought desperately to protect the world from the hands of evil.

by the way

Why

Out of nowhere, like a fall from the sky, a man who was simply lucky and strong.

How can he take the same position as his younger brother?

with a shriek

I split my teeth violently. Something hot came up. "What... what was different?

I thought about the difference between myself and Kim Tae-hyun. Why is Kang Woo paying more attention to Kim Tae-hyun than to himself?

Why did I have to pay attention?

"...... "

It didn't take long to find the answer.

Divine character'

It's divine.

Not for yourself, but for Kim Tae-hyun.

More than anything else in the world right now, 'It's because of your dignity.

The rainfall sacrificed everything to protect the world.

He must be well aware of how much power a deified being has in this confusion.

because

'Because of his physical character, Kim Tae-hyun is my younger brother.

He accepted it.'

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford to pay this much attention to Kim Tae-hyun.

"Haha."

A dry smile came out.

The truth that I realized at best was more vain than I thought.

"You couldn't help it.'

He had no choice but to accept Kim Tae-hyun's foolishness and harsh criticism even if he didn't want to.

In order to protect the world, we had to bring him into our army somehow.

'Yeah, I'm sure.'

It is not explained otherwise.

Proudly.

I clenched my teeth. In the conference room where the rain was sitting, he turned and walked in the hallway.

"...god."

He needed a personality. To change your mind, to remain his 'brother'.

I gave birth to you... I'm sorry.

I can hear a voice that I have forgotten for a long time.

a curse-like remark that kept his whole life at bay

'I need...' Tuck, Tuck. Kim walked in the hallway with faltering steps.

The conference room where Kim Si Hoon left. In the conference room where silence fell, the rainfall slowly closed its eyes.

'Will this be enough?'

The wall facing Kim Si Hoon.

It took a special stimulus to get over the wall.

In the past,

He's got a trauma-causing problem.

It's stimulating.

"So far, Si-hoon has been awakening in times of crisis because of his talent.

It's not."

The trauma of Kim Si-hoon's life.

That trauma was the driving force behind Kim Si-hoon's awakening. 'It's probably nothing that others think it is.

Kim Si Hoon's trauma.

To others, the desire to be 'recognized' by those who are more precious to them than anyone else.

Clearly, it was not an ordinary yearning.

'But.'

If it's Sihoon Kim. He was abandoned by his father and trampled by his older brother.

Kim Si-hoon, who was denied his life by someone who was more important to him than anyone else. 'I hope so.'

Once again, I will long for salvation. He will struggle desperately to win his own recognition.

The heavy rain closed his mouth with a stiff look.

He took a deep sigh and touched his forehead.

"......I should have done something else."

There was a flood of belated. No matter how much I tried to awaken my prestige, I thought it was a little too much.

'No, it's not just a matter of prestige.’

In fact, it is simple to give credit to Kim.

You can turn him into your own incarnation.

Just as Leira can use some of Gaia's credentials, some of his credentials can be used by Kim Si-hoon.

'There's no point in that.’

If there was no chance that Kim would earn his reputation on his own, he would have chosen to make him an incarnation.

But for Kim Si-hoon, the possibility that he will be able to awaken his identity with his own power.

There was.

No, I'm just wondering why I haven't been able to wake up.

You need a decisive moment."

It's an opportunity to break down the limitations that can make him jump over the wall in front of him. Si-hoon can do it.

If you know Kim Si-hoon, you can definitely cross it. be able to attain one's prestige by one's own means

'If that happens.

It is clear that Kim Si-hoon will be able to expand his wings and achieve explosive growth.

"It's different from what you earn on your own."

Sincerity is certainly a fraudulent force.

However, the difference between being able to acquire the power and being able to achieve the prestige of being without any consideration since birth was inevitable.

"If I were to make Si-hoon a incarnation and just give him credit."

Kim Si-hoon's growth will stop there.

Even though you can be a god on your own, you will not grow up because of the power you receive without consideration.

"...you can't let that happen."

The rain opened its eyes sharply.

I felt guilty about causing Kim Si-hoon's trauma, but there was no other way in this case.

The abnormality of the gate continues to increase, and even unidentified objects such as Kim Tae-hyun's discovery have popped out of it.

Kim Si-hoon needed his physical status as soon as possible.

'Not Si-hoon, but the others.'

For a moment, an idea came to mind to the other party members.

After continuing to worry, he shook his head.

Starting with Sihoon.

For now, it is right to focus on Kim Si-hoon.

It's important to give the right amount of stimulation."

This time, it was necessary to properly adjust the stimulation, as there was experience in the past of trying to corrupt it after over-stimulating it.

"You can't provoke him here for a while."

I also felt that Balok and Leira needed to be firmly involved.

Two people meet with Kim Sihoon often except for themselves. 'After making Si-hoon focus as much on training as possible.'

Next, I thought that I could make a scene where I could cry out a bit while I was making a toast. "The ambassador... 'What's so important about a person like that?! You... you're my brother even if you don't have anything like that!' Yeah, let's go with this one."

It already felt like my hands and feet were crushed, but what can I do?

Sihoon likes this kind of stuff."

Since he had committed a crime, he had to put up with such a harsh line.

As a result, it was for Kim Si-hoon, but he was right to rekindle the trauma that he had barely forgotten.

"By the way."

Rain looked down at his smartphone on the table.

There was quite a pile of messages from Kim Tae-hyun, who turned off the notification.

Why is she following me like that?

It was good to send loyalty, but I thought it was a little too much. How should I put it?

He's like a big fan of idols.

I felt so happy to be with the person I had longed for.

"Yeah."

It was true that it was a little annoying. "... well, there's nothing I can do."

Kim Tae-hyun had no choice but to stay with him until the identity of the "Eyes in the Notebook Tree" was clearly revealed.

"......"

Kang Woo slowly closed his eyes, recalling Kim Si-hoon and Kim Tae-hyun.

One day, Cha's expression came back to mind.

It's a flower of both hands.

Shiva.

He shook his head, clenching his fist. "Im... Im..."

A pitiful voice echoed through the conference room.

'Huh, hah, hah,' his rough breath filled his throat. I could see the inside of the mess room.

I stepped on with faltering steps.

"Cheonnyong..." Squeeze out the inner workings that have already shown bottom.

He lifted a sword made of blue energy.

but

with a slurping.

"Sigh, ha."

The intangible sword made up of the inner air was crushed into the air and disappeared.

Kim Si-hoon breathed hard looking at the sword disappearing from his fingertips.

"K.

."

Maybe it's because he squeezed out his inner strength.

Kim Si-hoon's knee is bent.

"No... no.

I couldn't fall down here.

Kim Si-hoon pulled himself up with his bent knee.

'It's not enough yet.’

Kim Si-hoon raised his hand while chewing on his lips.

The faint blue clumped together in the form of a sword.

"To gain prestige..." To remain Kangwoo's brother,

He needed a personality. "Whoa..."

I took a deep breath. The air in the atmosphere came into the body in very small quantities through breathing.

"To gain prestige, first of all, you have to complete a full-fledged heart-to-heart.

You're the last one to get the credit.

I just thought it was a gateway.

The sword of the heart.’

It was an exhausting scene in the martial arts.

Theoretically, he read dozens or hundreds of books from Cheon Moo-jin.

but

"...I don't know."

The sword of the heart.

What are you talking about?

For Kim Si-hoon, who has been growing up without a hitch with his natural talent so far, it has not been easy to directly unfold the abstract concept as a warrior.

"Sigh."

Kim Si-hoon grabbed his hair and moved on.

Beetle.

The step forward swung.

Kim Si-hoon's expression was distorted roughly.

When you try to force your trembling hands to move.

Click. "Huh? Sihoon?"

I could see Kim Tae-hyun entering the training room.

Kim Si-hoon stung Kim sharply with his mouth shut.

"Well, you must be training late today."

Yes."

Ha-ha. That's a black dragon. I think I should watch and learn."

Kim Tae-hyun looks at Kim Si-hoon brightly

Laugh.

His laughter was a clear mixture of derision.

Kim Si-hoon turned his head without answering.

"By the way, do you know where Kangwoo is?"

".......?"

Kim Si-hoon tilted his head with a frown.

"I thought I met you today.

What?"

"No, I was going to meet you, but... I think you're very busy."

Kim Si-hoon remained tight-lipped.

Did something happen after that?" Kim Tae-hyun and Kang-woo did not meet, and their mouths went up unknowingly.

Perhaps he had noticed it, Kim Tae-hyun gave Kim Si-hoon a sharp, angry look.

"And now that I see it... I heard from Kangwoo that the reason why Sihoon couldn't beat me not too long ago is because he's in a physical condition."

"Haha, I heard that only Kangwoo and I have players in the Guardians who are talented."

Kim Tae-hyun continued with a relaxed expression.

"As expected... don't you think you and I get along well?"

Kim Si-hoon's expression was distorted roughly.
