After he arrived at Dongmyo Station and wrecked havoc, Yoo Jonghyuk looked at the gathered 'prophets'.

The subdued Lee Sungkook explained the situation.

"We call ourselves 'prophets' because we have heard the revelation from the Great Apostle."

"The Great Apostle?"

"It is our king, he sent us here to watch over the weapon prepared to annihilate the other kings."

Yoo Jonghyuk continued to glare at Lee Sungkook who regretted having offended the menacing man who had the same name as their king (Kim Dokja).

"Where is the weapon?"

With an ominous feeling, Yoo Jonghyuk thought it would be better to see it with his own eyes.

"Huh?"

"The weapon you have hidden. I will check it first."

He was then brought to the place the 'prophets' were gathered. Someone excitedly moved to the centre of the platform and removed the cloth covering something. There was a big stone present.

Yoo Jonghyuk's gaze became sharper.

"Is that a meteorite?"

"Haha, that's right. At this point, Yoo Jonghyuk-nim might not know... according to the revelation, it contained a powerful weapon."

"A weapon?"

"Yes! That's correct. Maybe it is a weapon like a top ranking star relic."

"Doesn't the meteorite need hatching time and can't be used now?"

"Haha, we have a rotation that will provide magic power. It will hatch tonight at the latest. We have been working on it for a few days..."

Yoo Jonghyuk became colder as he looked at the proud man.

"Who gave you the information?"

"Huh?"

"The person who brought the meteorite to you."

"Oh, that... It was our king, the Great Apostle."

The prophets had fallen into a trap.

Simultaneously, the regressor and the Oldest Dream frowned.

In the flying train, the former was thoughtful.

"There aren't any real prophets to get rid off now, so the trap should be for Yoo Jonghyuk..."

Xin Jian glanced at him and conveyed his thoughts.

[The constellation 'Believer in Mysteries' warns you to be careful.]

Yoo Jonghyuk continued his interrogation.

"Where is he?"

The other person blinked.

"He didn't come, the king sent us here in his stead."

Yoo Jonghyuk thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

"We have to get out of here."

"Huh?"

"Right now."

Suddenly, the platform started vibrating.

Kukukung...!

It was too late.

He looked at the trembling 'meteorite' and stepped back. He had come here to sweep away the prophets, only to be the one swept away.

"W-What is this?"

The fourth scenario hadn't even ended and the 'disaster' of the fifth scenario was about to appear.
