Synopsis

The chapter introduces the concept of demonic constellations and their recent rise in power, alongside the mysterious absence of a strong figure named Izumi, who once held the 'Absolute Throne' in Tokyo. The participants are grappling with the moral question of killing smaller, weaker humans to survive, a situation spurred by the appearance of contradictory messages from messenger pigeons. The protagonist, Kim Dokja, seeks answers and encounters others who reveal information about the previous events, like Izumi's disappearance and a group that sided with the small humans. Kim Dokja's skills and perspective set him apart, even as other factions strategize and view him with suspicion and potential as an asset.
