The Heavenly Idol (Holy Idol / Seongseureoun Aidol / 성스러운 아이돌)

Did you lure people to Hongwoodaedae...

and turn them into goblins?

Did you get The Evil One...

to kill the innocent?

The one who killed my family and friends!

Was it you,

the deity I served my whole life?

It's been a while.

Did something happen?

You don't look well.

Lord Redrin, I am truly honored.

I have never once forgotten the day...

when you accomplished your great work.

My longtime wish will come true at last.

Collect souls.

As many as you can.

Why did you ask for me?

Hongwoodaedae...

is luring people using celebrities.

They use the holy relic to steal their souls...

and turn them into goblins.

Why is Hongwoodaedae suddenly acting up like this?

I cannot figure out why.

I bet Redrin is the culprit.

I saw her run away to another realm.

She must be in this realm now.

Redrin is in this realm now?

Do you know a lot about the deity's powers that you possess?

No, I do not.

It is not something you can obtain just because you want to.

Unlike divine powers,

it is not easily transferable.

It is the deity's soul in and of itself.

What does that mean?

It means Redrin created you,

using a part of her soul.

Only that explains why you possess the deity's powers.

That is why...

she said she created me.

If we use the deity's powers that you have,

we can take down Redrin.

We will destroy the deity's powers.

Is that possible?

They can be destroyed if we separate them from you.

Those powers make up a part of Redrin's soul.

Destroying them will naturally weaken her powers.

Then I will send some reapers out...

and have them capture Redrin.

What do you say? Will you cooperate?

Why did you ask Dal to step out?

There must be something else after we destroy the powers.

What is it?

Answer me, or I will not cooperate.

Well...

There is one drawback.

Once the deity's powers are destroyed,

those who have been supportive of you...

will no longer love or trust you.

They are connected to your powers.

In any case,

stopping Redrin is our priority now.

If Redrin beats us to it...

and retrieves the powers from you first,

then she can no longer be stopped.

We will all be doomed.

Even so, I cannot give up on those people.

Do not let your personal feelings get in the way.

It is the only way...

Redrin can be stopped.

What did Her Majesty have to talk to Rembrary about...

that she told me to step out?

Is she giving him a dangerous task?

What did you two talk about?

What did Her Majesty say?

Nothing much.

Hey, Yeon Woo. You're back.

- Hey, are you all right? - Are you okay?

Does this make sense to you?

Why am I back here?

- Hey, what's with you? - Goodness.

Please...

This must be a dream.

It has to be. It is a dream, right?

I'd rather die than go back to being a washed-up idol.

What a nutcase. What's with him today?

Does his personality change every time he hurts his head?

The old Woo Yeon Woo is back.

But he's even more annoying than before.

Shouldn't we take him to a doctor again?

I'm sick of this! I really am!

You idiots.

Why haven't you left the group? Just leave!

- Hey, no! - Tae In, don't!

- What? What's your problem? - Hey!

- What? Let's fight! - Hey, don't.

- Don't. Calm down! - What?

- Hey! - Darn you!

- What the... - Gosh!

What is this?

- What is going on? - There are two Yeon Woos?

What is this?

You scoundrel!

- Because of you, people... - It hurts!

lost their lives and their families too.

- Stop him! - Can you stop him?

- Hold on. - What did you do...

that the country collapsed?

- Answer me. Answer! - Hold on.

- What's going on? - Gosh!

You darn fool!

- No! - What is this?

What is going on?

Who are you?

Where is Yeon Woo?

You.

You are Ardor.

No.

- No, wait. - Did you see that?

Why are you here?

Disguised as Woo Yeon Woo, at that.

When did you come here?

Five years ago.

How did you end up here?

No! Please don't be angry.

To tell you the truth,

I always envied you, Pontifex.

I wanted to be like you.

Your face, capabilities, and divine powers.

I wanted them all.

That's why...

- I went to the evil being. - Have you lost your mind?

I told you not to be angry. I won't tell you more.

I am not angry. Go on.

I went to see the evil being,

but Lord Redrin showed up.

She said I could be your alter ego...

in The Other World.

She told me to make people hate me.

She promised I'd be like you if I did just that.

I saw that people liked to criticize actors.

So I thought people would hate me if I became an actor.

But I ended up becoming a washed-up idol instead.

I couldn't even make people hate me...

because no one knew Wild Animal.

That's why he wanted to be an actor?

This is all your fault, Pontifex.

You have an idol face.

That's why I couldn't become an actor.

How dare you run your mouth like this?

Why did Redrin send you here?

That I don't know.

I came here because she said I'd get the Pontifex title.

Maybe that's it.

When the Hong Rin crisis broke out,

everyone in the country hated you.

That was when you lost your divine powers.

She was using my alter ego to weaken my powers.

What is going on?

Can you explain?

Who is that man? And who are you, really?

I am...

the one you have known.

Nothing has changed.

Then who is that man?

He is the old Woo Yeon Woo.

That crazy fool who was dying to become an actor.

Then who are you?

- I am... - Maybe it was true, after all.

He ruined our live performance...

and told Ms. Im that he was the Pontifex. Is it true?

Are you really the Pontifex?

Then can you really heal people?

Yes, I am the Pontifex.

But that does not change anything.

Keep calling me Woo Yeon Woo if that puts you at ease.

Will you stay as Woo Yeon Woo, then?

Will you still be a member of Wild Animal?

Dal, please don't kick me out. I have nowhere to go.

- As if I care. - Haven't we met before?

Back when our group was out busking,

I gave you our signed CD and tickets to our show.

You remember that, right?

Can't you put in a good word for me to the Pontifex?

Stop acting all cute!

Darn it.

It's not like I can report you for fraud.

Pontifex, please. I could lose my life.

Lord Redrin will not let me live...

once she finds out that you know my identity.

Members of the Hongwoodaedae could kill me off.

Gam Jae.

What...

Pontifex, please. I won't say a word!

I won't say a single thing.

Pontifex, please. I won't say a word!

I can't believe I chose to be his fan.

You had no idea, Dal.

Who could have known that Ardor was Woo Yeon Woo?

What is it?

I know how I can infiltrate Hongwoodaedae.
