Episode 538:
Tiring.
[Skill ‘Queen’s Memory’ has ended.]
Taehyun opened his eyes.
There was Rosaria, whose presence had risen like never before.
Unlike other princes who are affected by the power of the contractor, he is assimilated and the power given by the King of the Underworld is awakened.
[It is a memory that the king entrusted to his wife.]
I see.
The King of the Underworld, too.
“Did you leave to hunt down this guy called God?”
[The current contractor does not have the power he used in the past… but it will be enough to end the racial war. Middle-earth will also grow slowly, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wait for their growth if you want.]
Spares for Archduke Contractors are also players who will grow due to the flowering of the Divine Beast and the tower that Tolkien will complete.
The people she mentions were the seeds that Taehyun sown on the earth.
‘Your personality is still the same.’
Compassionate Rosaria.
Lucifer, who regained the power of the master of the first heaven, and Jormungand, who merged with Osiris.
It wouldn’t compare to the power she uses now.
An ordinary succubus has surpassed the archduke and even the celestial master.
‘My time as a close associate of the King of the Underworld was not in vain.’
At least she won’t be the first to be sacrificed in the battle ahead.
‘Igmun guy. ‘I need to watch my mouth.’
The proud Vampire Lord has already surpassed his limit, but in terms of pure force, he is in the middle of the range.
If Rosaria decides to do so, it won’t be surprising if her head is blown off at any time.
There was no mention of their long-standing relationship.
What we need to focus on now is that she, who has awakened great power, is even caring about those in Middle-earth who have not yet enlightened.
It was clear that the remark had Taehyun in mind.
That’s why even more so.
“No. I will end the tribal war on my own terms.”
He confirmed his intention to refuse.
[Why?]
The perspective that the King of Hades had.
The reason why he wants to hunt God, even choosing his successor.
“Nothing about that.”
At some point, the king became someone who looked down on the heavenly masters.
If he had not cast a spell, the Grand Duke and his subjects in the Lower World would not have fallen behind the Absolute and Elyos of the Upper World.
Still, the reason I didn’t finish it was because I was worried about what would happen after the tribal war.
“Similarly, the reason the Upper World King did not immediately crush the Lower World King was because he needed his strength.”
King Sanggye and King Hagye.
The reason why those on opposite sides of the racial war joined forces.
The reason for the ethnic war.
The reason why they had to become godslayers to destroy the one god called the outer constellation.
The answer will be there.
“I want to know what happens after that, Rosaria.”
A moment of silence followed.
[They said it was a trend. They really resemble each other. From the looks of it, you must have already figured out who the current King of Sanggye is.]
“Yes.”
The corners of the Succubus Queen’s mouth drew an arc.
“Asmodeus.”
When Taehyun mentioned the person who had become his archenemy, her laughter deepened.
I solved all the puzzles that were floating around in my head.
The Key of the King of the Underworld Kim Tae-hyun. The manager is Grand Duke Rosaria.
Asmodeus, the key to the King of the Upper World. The manager is Michael, the lord of the first heaven.
And one of them.
[It is a fate that ends only in death.]
* * *
I had many conversations with Rosaria and faced the truth that she had borne alone.
Constellation.
A god in the true sense of the word who is the owner of the constellations and sits on a sacred seat to observe.
The true identity of Noname, whom the Absolute and the Great Dukes know as the only God.
‘Are you hunting a guy like that?’
Noname, whom they hunted at the end of the turf war, was just a piece.
With that alone, the anti-aircraft column of the lower world clung to it and was able to stop it only after it collapsed.
Is that all?
‘The Lower World King and the Upper World King are also beings who grew based on the power of sculpture.’
That guy has full power, not fragmented power?
‘….’
I feel like I’m losing my mind.
[To deal with a constellation, you must reach the same level. The source of his power is a gigantic piece of the One God. He made some kind of deal with Baal.]
Thus, the King of Hades obtained the power of the imperfect constellation and headed ‘outward’.
This is to completely hunt down the One God who is watching from there.
That was the truth about the King of the Underworld who became a God Slayer.
[Even if you are the main woman, you cannot know the affairs of the upper world. However, we can guess why the King of Upper World used Asmodeus as the key.]
“…?”
[I’m a contractor. King Sanggye of the previous generation was never a man who acted for good.]
Good intention.
Naturally, such words do not suit the Demon Dragon King.
Trying to become a god slayer may also be in order to take that position.
‘No, maybe he has already become a perfect constellation and has become the new sole god.’
I don’t know how to become a constellation.
I can only assume that being the king of the upper and lower worlds is the minimum requirement for now.
“Baal guy. Do you want Asmodeus to be your representative?”
The reason why the One God gave the King of the Lower World the power of reincarnation and kept the King of the Upper World in check.
This may be because he wants to become an agent and sentinel who protects the world he created.
It would be no different from Baal.
[That’s what she thinks.]
It’s strange.
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be okay to use the upper world guys as the key from the beginning? If it were the heavenly masters, the game would have ended long ago.”
Before Taehyeon had the power he has now, the underworld would have been destroyed without the victory in the turf war.
If the key had been the owner of the heavenly world, he would have gone to great lengths to destroy the underworld king’s spell.
‘That’s why…’
[He didn’t tell me, so I can only guess… There must have been a contract.]
‘I put restrictions on it.’
[Maybe it was a bet.]
‘As if it were a game to watch growth.’
Rosaria shrugged her tentacles, wondering how she could know what the Transcendents were thinking.
“But after all, it’s Asmodeus.”
[There are two possible guesses about that.]
“…?”
[Baal. He came from a monster and became the King of Sanggye. So, he wanted to find someone with similar roots to himself.]
A guy with roots like that is incredible.
It was a truly incongruous word, but at the same time, it was more understandable than anything else.
‘This is the guy who created an anti-aircraft system in the lower world to fight against the upper world.’
Rosaria’s tentacles took the shape of the number 2.
[The second point is His will.]
“What does this mean?”
[As the contractor knows, the path he walked was never smooth.]
I know.
The period in which he lived was much earlier than the period in which Taehyeon lived.
A society where ‘yomas’ who prey on ‘humans’ and ‘hunters’ who hunt them coexist.
It is nothing short of a transitional period that became the foundation of the player system.
From what I remember, there was a time when he was called ‘the Demon King’ rather than the Archduke or the King of the Underworld.
Although he could be called the strongest on Earth, he was weaker than the great dukes and had to increase his strength little by little.
I had to adapt to Ballack’s power more slowly.
The title of King of the Underworld is something that only became possible after such a long wait.
[okay. Every time he overcomes adversity, he becomes stronger. They say it is a characteristic of humans.]
That is to say.
“You want me to grow by personally dealing with Asmodeus, who killed me?”
[It’s just the woman’s thoughts, thinking of the person she watched from the side.]
The tone is too confident to be a guess.
Taehyun recalled his first meeting with the king.
“Okay. If this is fate, then it must be fate. I will use the king’s power on you.”
“It’s best not to think that a miracle like this will happen again. But it might be helpful if you survive until we meet again, you little player.”
“….”
Looking back, the king was smiling even in the face of death.
It could be because he escaped the old karma, or it could be because he saw a new possibility in Taehyun.
Either way was willing.
Because the trials of the King of the Underworld were always like that.
‘Asmodeus. I was planning on dealing with that guy someday.’
That’s when I was thinking about that.
[…Rosa…Ria…!!]
The space vibrated with a familiar voice.
“….”
[…It’s Typhon.]
A presence that even affects personal space.
I once again realized how much stronger the power of the princes had become.
[He is truly a noisy guy. He seemed like a foolish giant who couldn’t understand the situation even when the other princes were trying to survive.]
Suddenly, the benevolence disappeared and coldness filled him.
“Well… he’s a good guy.”
Taehyun secretly protected T-Phone.
Because I remembered the promise I made a while ago.
[….]
Rosaria’s indifferent red eyes glanced at Taehyun.
[You’re speaking foolishly, unlike you.]
‘Well, Rosaria loves the King of the Underworld… This might be a more difficult promise than I thought…’
Typhon and the King of the Underworld.
Compare their personalities and the paths they have taken.
‘Is the answer already out there? Even so, a promise is a promise.’
The moment Typhon realizes that things cannot happen with Rosaria, he may turn against Taehyeon.
It’s not just funny that they resurrected a guy who had no intention of being resurrected in the first place.
It’s time for Taehyun to weigh that alone.
[Hmm…. Surely you’re not using the main woman to make a promise between you and Typhon?]
“….”
Silence became the answer.
[Anyway, they are contractors, giant kings, and simple guys.]
Silence again.
[Don’t worry. Typhon is an important force. The main woman is not thoughtless enough to turn her into an enemy for no reason.]
“….”
Typhon.
sorry.
“…request.”
It is a feeling of helplessness that I have never felt even when fighting a turf war.
[Let’s go now.]
Rosaria burst into laughter and canceled the skill.
She also looked relieved just by sharing the memories she was carrying around.
and.
slam. slam. slam.
It swings its tentacles towards Typhon, who is courting her.
“….”
Taehyun could only watch quietly.
* * *
Fairy Forest.
There, the wounded giant king entered the healing spring water.
The Elven had told him not to use the healing spring water for unnecessary purposes, but it was possible because Taehyun specifically asked for his understanding.
“Are you okay?”
Taehyun asked vaguely.
Even though the awakened power was hidden, the swinging tentacles were so powerful that they carved scars on the giant king’s body.
Typhon appears to be suppressing recovery, calling the ugly marks of the beating a sign of his heart.
“I’m not at peace. Just accept recovery now.”
[Brother. The original body does not give up.]
A life revived.
[I will pour everything into winning Rosaria’s heart.]
Rather, he said that it was heartbreaking that Rosaria’s attack could only have this much impact on his upgraded strong body.
The personality of being inflexible and only going straight ahead was still the same today as it was a thousand years ago.
‘Ah… that guy like you, Typhon…’
He knows that no matter what he says now, he won’t be heard.
It would be better to tell you what you want to hear.
“Indeed… my brother. There will come a day when Rosaria will understand your feelings.”
[Puuuuuuu.]
“Maybe… maybe. The pressure of the race war may be pushing you away. So don’t lose confidence until the end.”
He put on a calm face and smiled.
[Hahahaha. Indeed, the brothers are consistent men. Since the new King of the Underworld speaks like that, I don’t think I can be pampered forever.]
Cheeeeeee.
The healing spring water that had been denied all along seeped into the giant king’s strong body.
Recovery is beginning.
[Fuck you. [You’re so trembling.]
The sound of the Elven watching from afar rang in my head.
