The final winner of the Great War of battle kings was Baltirok, not Jin or Baba.
Kaio was unable to participate in the remaining battles due to injuries he sustained in the 22nd match, and Jin and Baba were also unable to continue due to recovering from their buried arms.
And Jin and the Plutonian tribesmen became awkward for a while.
Jin felt guilty about his overly aggressive actions towards his brethren, whatever the reason may have been, and the members of the Plutonian tribe were embarrassed by the fact that they had acted too quickly to “let go” of Jin.
‘Although we only spoke out of anger at the time… in truth, it seems that everyone regarded brother Jin as less close than the other brethren. The fact that we even questioned his eligibility for succession was something that should never have happened.’
‘We should have acted more generously. If the we had shown the actions that the sister 9th battle king did at the end from the beginning, we wouldn’t be so embarrassed.’
‘At that time, I was really mad, but everyone easily said that we should expel Brother Jin.’
‘Even if we didn’t say that, I couldn’t able to resist Brother Jin’s play.’
‘I’m saying that we are rotten in case one of the brethren really wants to kill brother Jin. We should have shown earlier that we would never give up on our brother, even if Brother Jin betrayed us.’
‘Looking back, I could have noticed sooner that Brother Jin was just putting an act. Brother Jin hurt Sister 4th battle king by avoiding the illuminating heart, and even when he attacked sister 4th battle king who turned around, he could cut even deeper.’
‘I don’t have the face to see Brother Jin…… how foolish we must seem.’
What if Kaio had taken Jin’s honor first instead of swearing at Garmund before the shocking 22nd match?
What if, after four months in the 22nd match, Kaio laughed loudly and punched Jin in the head, and the rest of the brethren didn’t take it too seriously and handed it over to Jin?
Even after that, if everyone acted like Baba from the beginning to the end, instead of fighting on the side and fighting together later…… If so, they would have looked more cool to Jin now.
Such assumptions were tormenting the Plutonian tribe.
Whether Jin’s ways were right or wrong was no longer an important issue for them.
Even if they said they would kill Jin, the final decision of the entire Plutonian tribe was same as what Baba showed in last.
Unlike countless malicious words that they spoke out of spite, it was the only genuine truth that didn’t require any confirmation through words. The proposition that one should never give up on the brethren no matter how terrible the situation was always absolute and never wavered.
If the remaining members of the Plutonian tribe were in the thousands or tens of thousands and were being ruled by another battle god instead of Vahn, things might have been different. At least some of them would have harbored different thoughts.
However, the 77 members of the Plutonian tribe in Laprarosa were not like that. Their hearts and minds had never changed for a single moment, and they were going to remain the same in the future.
“… Is your arm okay?”
Kaio sat beside Jin with a thud.
He had been aimlessly pacing around Jin’s room an hour ago, and he had asked the same question five minutes ago.
“Uh…… Brother 5th battle king did a good job patching me up.”
Jin’s answer was the same as five minutes ago.
“What about the wounds from sister 9th battle king?”
“It’s not comparable to what I did to you, brother 10th king. I’m almost healed. Didn’t you say that you could walk a bit now?”
“Yes…….”
“Hmmmm. I was a bit too much aggressive, brother 10th battle king. I’m sorry.”
Kaio was the only one who suffered a wound that would take more than a year to recover from.
Jin and Baba’s arms had been immediately treated with Boras’ special bonding technique, so they were healed.
“You didn’t do anything wrong, brother Jin. I was the one who went crazy. I felt like I lost my mind for a moment after the long-awaited Great War of battle kings was revived.”
“My method was excessive. So I should be the one apologizing.”
“No, Brother Jin’s method wasn’t bad.”
“Looking back, I don’t think it was the best.”
– Brother Jin! What are you doing? Have you forgotten what I told you?
– I did it on purpose.
-What?
-I needed to stimulate the brethren’ competitive spirit. Seeing that brother 8th battle king lost to me, I realized that something like this was necessary at least once.
The conversation Jin had with Tantel after his first conflict with Kaio that led to the latter’s animosity. When Tantel heard Jin talking about becoming a villain and pressuring his brethren, he responded like this.
-I know roughly what the reason is. But Brother Jin, one thing is certain. No matter how bad you behaves, the outcome is fixed. No one really hates you no matter what. At least now, all of the 77 brethren left in Laprarosa are like that. Like brother Jin do.
-I know too. I’m just curious about how that can happen.
-If you’re going to do it, no matter how tough the atmosphere gets, try to be vicious until the end. Although it may be revealed that they were jealous and envious of you, no one really wants to abandon you. They can talk like they’re a tough guy, but that’s it.
Tantel’s words were accurate.
However, Jin’s reason for behaving maliciously to the end was not just because of Tantel’s answer.
He was also convinced that his brethren would never abandon him, which made him even more sorry.
Kaio put a hand on Jin’s shoulder. Seeing that strong and large hand tremble, Jin felt sorry once more.
“That could be possible. But that’s true for other brethren too. We’ve shown each other the worst instead of the best. It’s not my place to say, but we can’t always show each other our best.”
Jin didn’t answer and Kaio re-fixed the bandages to make him feel less uncomfortable.
“Well, as you can see, other brethren are quite simple-minded. They often can’t even think of simple things. So everyone just used crude methods this time. The sister battle god probably guessed everything from the beginning, so they just stayed quiet. I was especially like that. I didn’t plan to shoot, but I even threatened brother Jin.”
“Well, that could be a situation where you can think that way.”
“No, even after your sword exploded in my chest. I didn’t pay attention to the fact that my illuminating heart was intact. Most of us thought that brother Jin could call us outside as hostages and we just have to go out like this.”
“That’s also a situation where you can think that way.”
“But it also revealed that we were treating brother Jin a little differently in the process.”
“I don’t think so, Brother 10th battle king. It was because I provoked the brethren. And even when I pretended to try to kill sister Baba, the brethren were prepared to still treat me as a brother. In a way, I lost.”
“Brother Jin.”
“Yes.”
“Oh Ah, wait a moment. I can’t stand anymore. Please let me sit down. Don’t make that troubled expression, I will get better in a year. Anyway, we will continue to lose to the brother Jin in the future. That fact hasn’t changed.”
Kaio sat down on the chair with difficulty and let out a sigh.
“However, through this incident, the meaning has changed a little.”
“How?”
“We lose not because you are brother Jin, but because they are our brethren. Or it could be that we cannot win, that is the truth. Brother Jin is not weaker than us. I’m not just talking about strength, but because among the rest of the brethren, no one can endure the hatred and channel their willpower like brother Jin.”
“Is that so?”
“So forgive us.”
“Forgive?”
“That we were actually treating Brother Jin like an outsider rather than brother.”
“What are you talking about…….”
[They are in a pitiful state.]
Suddenly, Vahn and Lingling entered the room. Vahn lightly grabbed Lingling’s head, who was sticking his tongue out.
[It hurts!]
“That’s why I hit you, Lingling. And I don’t think that’s what you have to say. Aren’t you in a position where you couldn’t kill Brother Jin?”
[Vahn only hates me! Oh, hehe, hehehe.]
Lingling tried to be mean to Vahn, but when she rubbed his neck, he burst into laughter.
“Have you come, Sister battle god?”
“There’s no need to stand up and be formal, brother 10th battle king.”
Vahn’s gaze landed on Jin. It’s already been 15 days since the Great War of battle king ended, but today was the first time Vahn spoke directly.
Outside the door, all the other members of the Plutonian tribe were waiting with their heads bowed.
“You fought like kids this time.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It looked very cute. In the future, there will surely be more fights, so make sure to fight like a kid. Even without my words, you would do so. “
Vahn handed the Sigmund, that she had brought, to Jin.
For a while, Jin silently stared at Sigmund.
“Brother Jin. No matter what you did, and no matter how much the other brethren coveted it, the owner would not have changed.”
“…… I know.”
“If the meaning of that has become even heavier for everyone, then that’s enough.”
Jin accepted Sigmund.
Vahn didn’t add any more words to the situation.
Baltirok, the final winner of the Great War of battle kings, looked regretful not because he wanted the sword, but because he couldn’t hand it over himself.
“Then what do you think the other brethren should do now?”
At Vahn’s words, the Plutonians quietly exchanged glances. It’s that they don’t know what kind of answer Vahn wants.
Naturally, all the glances of the Plutonian tribe were directed to Jin.
“I think we need to rebuild the broken temple.”
At Jin’s answer, Vahn nodded her head.
“Brother 13th battle king know this well. From now on, all the brethren follow brother 13th battle king and start rebuilding the temple.”
Vahn thought this while watching the 77 brethren who were jumping into the ruins of the temple with enthusiasm.
Perhaps, from the moment Jin arrived, they had already been leaving the dead world behind.
What Vahn saw was not the sight of those trapped in the forgotten world, but the scenery of people who were still alive.
As she walked slowly behind the brethren, Laprarosa also became part of the group of all 78 people. Along with her companion, the chaos.
