It was the equipment that Yabadop offered, and this was the reason why Dohyuk attacked. The figure was ‘holding" the bracelet. If the figure was holding it, Dohyuk thought it meant that the figure wasn"t just an image and attacked.
“That"s the one, right?”
“Y-yeah! It is!”
The object was exactly the same as he remembered it.
“Go up first with it.”
Before Giwon can answer, the figure attacked Giwon, trying to slam him down. Yabadop was now out of patience.
-It is not yours to take!
Dohyuk jumped and pushed Giwon away before getting struck by the hand. Dohyuk stood up.
“Dohyuk!”
“Go up! I"m okay!”
“…!”
“Go up. Use the bracelet when you have to.”
Dohyuk commanded him and jumped again. Giwon then began climbing up, but he still trusted and believed that what Dohyuk knew what he was doing.
“So… you"re not a coward after all,” Dohyuk said and the figure kicked him. Dohyuk did not try to defend against it. He knew there was no way to block the attack from G.o.d Yabadop; he was a G.o.d after all. He didn"t want to take the damage, but since the bracelet was stolen, he was too angry now.
-Fool!
He couldn"t kill Dohyuk, but Yabadop hit Dohyuk multiple times. He did take the same amount of damage, but the damage done to Dohyuk was too tiny against giant Yabadop"s figure.
Yabadop was now too focused on beating Dohyuk up. He didn"t care about the bracelet anymore. But that"s when he felt that Dohyuk"s body and mind had been destroyed. He didn"t know why, but Dohyuk was influenced by Yabadop"s Divine Power just like Giwon. Did he use up all his faith to use ‘Unbreakable"?
-You…
Yabadop was a G.o.d who fed on fear and desires. That was why he always drove people to their limits to sniff out their deepest desires. The desire that he smelled from Dohyuk was…
-Different.
It was beyond different. Yabadop had never seen such deep desire before. If he had a mouth, he would be drooling right now. He wanted to take it as his own. It was valuable enough to overcome all the loss he had incurred by beating him up.
-I can inflict endless pain.
Yabadop threated.
-You won"t like that. So in turn…
Like always, there needed a trade to take the deepest desire from a person. Yabadop was going to profit, but he still needed to offer something worthy enough for the value of the desires. He focused on his hand, and a small ornament began to form.
-We will trade.
“…”
Dohyuk then mumbled something.
-What?
Yabadop struck Dohyuk"s head and asked again.
“…Now.”
-You will trade?
“Now is… the time… to use…”
With the voice, Yabadop"s figure shook. It was the impact from the jump. Before Dohyuk spoke, Giwon had jumped down from the top. He hung onto the figure"s neck as the storm raged at him.

With his mind intact, Giwon could buy at least a few seconds. And it wasn"t only Giwon who could use Divine Power.
Dohyuk gritted his teeth and overcame the pain in his bones and joints to walk up. He knew, from Giwon"s past experience and what happened just now, that Yabadop would leverage his Divine Power to offer a ‘trade". That"s why Dohyuk withstood the Divine Power without using his.
“You can"t kill me…”
Dohyuk couldn"t stand any longer and fell, but it was enough. Just one step, and the slight second that Giwon had bought was enough for Dohyuk to reach out and place his hand on the necklace, the most valuable item that Yabadop took out to offer to trade with Dohyuk.
