The devil saw.

The appearance of a huge meteorite falling from the sky.

Once upon a time, the being called the Demon of Victory looked at the meteorite and thought.

beautiful.

It’s so beautiful.

The devil laughed once again as he looked at the huge meteorite falling with the will to destroy the entire surface of the earth and even pierce the inner core of the earth.

“What is it? You’re thinking about destroying the Earth.”

How can you have that kind of power and not destroy this world?

Even though he has such powerful power, he doesn’t exterminate all the rotten humans in this world.

“It’s not even funny.”

I laughed out loud, but as a demon, I couldn’t understand at all.

If I had that much power, I would have created a meteorite and dropped it on the Earth.

They would have looked through the entire country and focused on the countries where the most villains were created and where only the most vicious criminals were gathered, and would have eliminated humanity by dropping meteorites or asteroids.

The human race that survived the meteorite will become devils, and while living as devils, all kinds of evil caused by humans will no longer appear.

That was the devil’s path to victory.

however.

“In the sense of the prosperity and survival of mankind, you have already won.”

Only now was I able to understand the words of the man I had heard as the devil was subdued and his nickname, the Demon of Victory, was taken away.

“By freeing the vengeful spirits, you saved countless people who should have died at their hands.”

The goblin spared no effort in providing new bodies for the four executives, and succeeded in removing one layer of their revenge.

“The gaze of the being most susceptible to malice in the world was turned in a different direction.”

The goblin attempted to maintain the existence of the world by redirecting its power to a being that had the power to destroy the world on its own.

“You set an example yourself, showing the survival of the human species not only through words but also through actions.”

The goblin does not just spread logic with his mouth, but has already accomplished one of his missions by being born as a species called humanity.

“Just as a seed sprouts, grows leaves, blooms, bears fruit, and spreads new seeds. Ah, I see. You have already borne fruit and were just waiting for it to sprout.”

The devil realized.

“What, I was already scheduled to die more than 10 months ago.”

Seeing the continuation of the human species, to the devil, it means that the species has been defeated.

That goblin is not anything else-

“He’s like a devil.”

The devil raised his hand.

The skin, as white as jade, began to crack like land ravaged by drought, and gradually began to crumble into sand.

Weeeeing.

The devil’s mana flowing from the fingertips formed a disk that shook like a ring, but the corrosion only slowed down.

“No…. I have to see it.”

The devil had already guessed.

There, beyond the halo of light.

Who is the man standing with both feet on the field?

And who is the man kneeling on one knee?

As she had made a pledge with her very existence, it was natural for her to disappear from existence now that the results of that pledge were visible.

[S, winner…!]

The sound that comes from the speaker is loud.

[Doblin…!!!]

The caster’s shout announcing the winner of the World Cup.

Doblin’s bat was pointed at the top of Gwangikkong’s head, and Gwangikgong was barely maintaining his posture, kneeling on one knee and on the verge of staggering.

There is no shouting.

The situation was so shocking that everyone was speechless.

But like the devil, everyone must have guessed it at the last moment.

It was as if the demon’s body was already collapsing before the caster raised his voice.

“Gwangikkong lost.”

The meteorite split, fell down, and Gwangikgong eventually fell from the huge, ghost-like blow.

Wow!!

A belated shout.

You could say there was a lot of shouting at Gwangikkong’s defeat, but not all of the people who filled the stands were Korean.

-I believed it, Doblin!!

-You are the pride of America!!

-Make A Great America Again!!!

Very few.

Crowds shouting in English in the heart of Korea and flying in from the other side of the world to cheer on Doblin.

They are not hired by someone for money.

They are not the ones who fly far away with broadcasting stations cameras and take videos for broadcast content.

-Fucking Doblin!! Yeah!!

Those who simply wish for America to win.

The audience came to cheer on Doblin, who represented them.

-Hey, that guy is a goblin…! Goblins are Korean! I told you he was the king of goblins, Bihyeong!

There were some people who put a candle to that kind of support.

-What! Doblin’s nationality is American! Our American Union does not consider race!

Doblin appeared as America’s representative.

That alone was enough reason for them to celebrate Doblin’s victory.

“…….”

Passs.

The body that was barely able to maintain itself by creating a magic ring is now slowly decaying.

The foundation that maintains one’s body.

The myth of undefeated Gwangyukgong.

From the moment the symbol of absolute victory collapsed and people around the world began to recognize ‘Gwang Ik-gong’s defeat’ one by one, the devil could no longer exist in this world.

Soon, it will disappear.

“No….”

It’s ugly, but it can’t disappear right now.

“At least, at least…!”

The game is over though.

“You have to go see the closing ceremony…!”

After seeing the victory feast, wouldn’t you say that he is truly a devil of victory?

Since ancient times, victory is not something that ends with just a duel. Enjoying the victory is the way to truly enjoy victory.

“Hold on…my body…!”

The devil clutched his collapsing body and, for the first time, truly hoped.

For this moment, I hope you can enjoy ‘Ceremony’ as an audience member, neither as a devil nor as a human.

* * *

won

Starting with hooligan spectators who came directly from America.

The cheers continued from Korean expatriates who had come on a business trip to Korea to watch the final match.

Although they succeeded in becoming naturalized Koreans, those who were born in America shed tears.

Some people are cheering at Gwangikgong’s defeat itself, and the cheers gradually continue.

[Good job.]

“…I can still fight.”

Gwangikkong laughed helplessly and shook his head.

“A man fell to his knees during a fight, but he can’t continue to fight in an ugly manner.”

[Because it is a final with rules.]

I pointed to the floor.

“Did you aim for it from the beginning?”

[of course.]

There is nothing on the floor.

There is only a sheet of ice maintaining the stadium, and Gwang Ik-gong is just kneeling on the barrier created by Baek Seol-hee.

The same goes for where I stand.

Just like Gwangikong, he stands on ice, but the place where his feet stand is different.

[Tell this to the narrator later. The stadium floor was melted and glued underfoot even before the slabs flew and rose into the sky.]

“It’s really too much. After blowing up the entire stadium, why are you carrying the stadium floor?”

[It’s here.]

It’s not a cowardly method.

[This is good manners against a guy who was flying in the sky and making long-distance attacks from the beginning.]

“Manners…?”

With half-sunken eyes, Gwangikong whispers with his mouth so that others cannot hear.

Is it manners to have five people inhabit your body and fight by scraping up everything that doesn’t have mana gold and attaching it to your body?

[Manners.]

It wasn’t 1:6.

It’s just a bunch of buffs for 1:1.

[Be proud. You were the ‘only’ enemy that I was able to defeat after applying so many self-buffs.]

“…Being recognized in this way is a bit weird.”

Gwangikong stretched out his hand forward.

“Congratulations, bro.”

[iced coffee.]

Normally, I wouldn’t hold a man’s hand.

[Congratulations on defeat.]

“Is this something to celebrate?”

I pulled Jinho Kim’s hand and helped him stand up.

“Phew.”

[Can you see it? The expressions on people’s faces towards you.]

The barrier has not been lifted yet.

Someone needs to come up and say something, but the steering committee seems to be confused by the situation of Gwangikkong’s defeat.

[Everyone in the world has been rooting for you. But it will be visible now.]

“Yes. That’s right. I can see it clearly. A picture of them that I didn’t know about before they died and that I only saw on the internet until today.”

Among those congratulating Doblin on his win.

“There are people who are happy that I lost.”

[It’s the way to make a kaa.]

There are also those who rejoice in Gwangikkong’s defeat.

[It is about revealing the inner feelings that have not been revealed outwardly until now. Because I lost.]

“Sure. …Whew, I feel relieved inside.”

[Do you feel like you were reborn?]

“Yes. Fortunately.”

However, regardless of whether they cursed at Gwangikkong or not, Gwangikkong himself straightened his posture and smiled widely again without any hesitation.

“Congratulations on your win, bro. And something else.”

[iced coffee. That’s what I’m saying.]

I then reached out to the side.

[Unlike you, who has now entered the path of a married man, your brother is a father, right?]

“…….”

[Because right now is the most important time in my brother’s life.]

He briefly gave control of his body to Ymir and then asked her to use this ability.

Weeeeing.

A square portal created in the middle of the stadium.

I turned towards the portal, which was shaped like a diamond and sparkled in the five colors of the four directions.

[I’ll send you a picture later. Well then, that’s enough.]

“Oh, wait, the championship cup is-”

[The real championship cup is in America.]

I just threw myself into the portal.

Passs.

“The winner ran…? What about the ceremony? What about awarding gold medals? As for the trophy…? What about the closing ceremony?!”

A World Cup stadium where the winner disappeared.

“Devil bastard…. not even human….”

The devil, who crumbled like sand and withered away, completely turned into ashes after saying those words.

A single gold ring remained where the devil had been.
