Footsteps approached from outside the door, while officer Godwin's body was collapsing.
Collapsing in the literal sense. It had actually begun while he was speaking, but now it finally seemed to have reached its breaking point. His skin was covered in crisscrossing cracks like parched earth scorched by the sun. His body continuously crumbled away, each fragment turning to dust the instant it hit the ground and scattering in the wind.
He was a Dark Signer. Dark Signers were people who had already died. Now that he had lost the duel, the power sustaining his resurrection had dispersed, and the body that should have died long ago began to collapse.
Godwin let out a long sigh.
A second chance. Talking about changing history, about how things would definitely be different this time.
In the end, this was even worse than the first time.
He had died before accomplishing anything. No, this life had not even gotten started. He had not had the chance to make a move before some Devil came out of nowhere and turned all his grand ambitions into nothing.
Looking at it that way, his first life, when he had fought against the Signers led by Fudo Yusei, had been easy mode despite ending in defeat. This was what true hell difficulty looked like.
Can you believe getting blocked at the door by the final boss before doing anything at all?
Godwin's body finally turned to ash and vanished without a trace.

"Officer!"
The door was violently pushed open.
Deputy Director Yeager of the Security Maintenance Bureau hurried inside with a squad of Security Officers.
Then he saw officer Godwin standing with his hands behind his back, facing the window. Only after they entered did he slowly turn around.
Of course, the real Godwin had died
