Episode 582:
A being who was once the King of the Upper World and still has the potential to be promoted to King of the Upper World.
Asmodeus looked at the Succubus Queen who suddenly appeared.
The tentacles of the Gangha Temple (恒河沙) hidden in subspace had gone somewhere, and the only remaining tentacle was fluttering about.
[….]
No matter how low his aura was to that of an arch-demon, there was no way he wouldn’t have noticed the intervention of the all-out succubus.
Asmodeus’ eyes turned to Taehyun.
A complete mess that rivals the Succubus Queen.
[….]
The Great Devil’s red eyes narrowed.
does not exist.
Wounds pierced by one’s own thorns.
Did it play?
does not exist.
Traces of poisoning.
when?
You wouldn’t have had the power to use the power of regeneration, right?
Powers that have already been downgraded and can be used.
Never…
a fleeting moment.
[….]
Asmodeus experienced déjà vu three times.
It feels so natural.
So much so that I wouldn’t have noticed it if I didn’t suspect it like I do now.
A natural sense of déjà vu.
He looked down at his body.
Queen’s World.
The purple magic power that maintained the world that had begun to tilt had been touched.
I saw Kim Tae-hyun in great shape again.
Before I knew it, the guy’s red eyes had returned.
no.
The red eye may never have been released from the beginning.
[….]
Ha.
I laughed out loud.
[…I guess so.]
Is this the case where you are harmed even if you know?
There may have been no such thing as admitting defeat from the beginning.
Just a guy.
[Through the image world.]
The image world that disappeared along with the doppelganger.
This virtual world of images is collapsing along with you.
[You threw the bait.]
Laughter turned into deep laughter.
Grumbling.
The purple magic that was in contact with my body faded.
This made it clear.
[The power of mental control. Since when did you start using it?]
I was so hooked that it even gave me the illusion of sharing my feelings.
[Since when?]
I muttered softly.
I asked myself.
It was restored.
Kim Tae-hyun’s world of imagination.
The events that took place immediately after the deaths of the doppelganger and Michael were confirmed there.
The primal battle I had with that guy.
A sense of the timeline starting to become twisted.
I turned around.
* * *
Michael’s disappearance robbed him of his archangel powers.
On the other hand, it was not a significant blow to Kim Tae-hyun.
Seizing the opportunity, the maw of predation ran wild.
As a demon dragon, what he uses is demon energy.
The space here that limits divine magic and magical power…
“It is not permitted.”
Absolute command.
With just those words, Taehyun Kim tightened the power of the demon dragon.
Regardless of whether you think he is arrogant or not, he is a man called the King of the Underworld.
Before long, the demon dragon degenerated into a demon king.
A huge demon energy dispersed.
Only then did the difference between Kim Tae-hyun and himself become clear.
King Sanggye and King Hagye.
The highest level he has achieved as a king falls short of his own.
Just as the previous guys did in the beginning, there is a huge difference in the status of a king.
If Michael had not disappeared, no matter what he did, he would not have been able to bring about the collapse.
The difference is that point.
The guy.
Even if the doppelganger in the image world dies.
Even if the source of power disappears.
The force does not fluctuate.
do not fall apart
Unlike myself, who loses power every time the arrangement left by the squadron is destroyed.
The total amount of power is weak.
It’s stable.
The king of the upper world and the masters of the heavenly world.
The Underworld King and the Grand Dukes.
Although it was the same as pressing it with force, it went through a similar process in that it made it submit.
The relationship with them is also subtly different.
Unlike the archangels, who can be said to have the greatest power, who are aiming for my life.
For Taehyun Kim, at least three.
There are people who would protect him even at the cost of their lives.
It’s not just speculation.
All of this was just a moment when Kim Tae-hyun used mental control.
It is an ‘influence’ that arises from following and understanding each other’s paths.
okay.
It would probably be around that time if he had succeeded in using the power of mind control.
The moment when the demon dragon is downgraded to the demon king.
In return, half of the power of predation and the moment when the balance of the queen’s world was lost.
The moment when the shackles of the world were weakened, he regained the right to use magical power and began to push Kim Tae-hyun.
Kim Tae-hyun must have already been drawing the present moment.
[You rat.]
Asmodeus muttered and continued his recovery.
The afterglow of mental control was completely lifted, and my head was clearing.
The King of Lower World, who was defeated and reduced to the level of a grand duke, and the King of Upper World, who was defeated and returned to the level of a demon king.
A hand-to-hand combat began.
The thorns and the blood sword clashed countless times.
The body was repeatedly cut and repaired.
The only ones left at the end were the King of the Lower World, who had regressed to the level of a mortal, and the King of the Upper World, who had regressed to the level of a great devil.
Omniscience. You can know everything.
Omnipotence. I gained infinite power.
It was a future that would come true if two such kings faced off in a life-or-death battle.
okay.
It was that kind of future.
The ‘future’ that has not yet arrived.
Ssssss.
Asmodeus’ red eyes regained their light.
The faint purple lingering scent, as if there were fog, was completely cleared.
Far away.
Kim Tae-hyun’s original condition, which seemed to have fully recovered, was revealed.
The prey was seen recovering using its one remaining tentacle.
The ‘secret’ that the Succubus Queen was trying to hide was seen, that extinction was imminent.
Unlike himself, who tricked the imperfect Demon King into being at the level of an archdemon.
Kim Tae-hyun faced the unchanging reality that he had become a mortal who still could not use predation.
[I see.]
Nothing changes.
The imperfect demon king spread a pair of wings.
The number of prey has only increased from one to two.
Two thorns came out.
* * *
Kaaang. Kyaang.
I hear the sound of metal.
This was the result of Rosaria striking off two thorns with her remaining tentacle.
The number, which was close to infinite, has decreased, but perhaps that is why the skill stands out.
“Rosaria. I guess we’re X’s?”
Taehyun realized that the illusion of Asmodeus had been completely destroyed.
A hallucination of a timeline with modified mind control.
A technology that creates the illusion of sharing each other’s senses and emotions and allows one to picture the future.
It seems that Rosaria appeared and gave him some insight.
Even if she didn’t show up.
‘It was a bit of a limitation, though.’
[contractor. Are you just running backwards now?]
Kaang.
She removed the thorn once again and asked back cheerfully.
Kyaang. Kyaang. Kyaang.
You can even see how much she’s sweating without concentrating.
He can no longer be called an archduke.
You are not the only one who has faced limitations.
While Asmodeus completely shook off his hallucinations, Rosaria recovered Taehyun and shared his memories.
Know.
The battle with the Archangels was just as fierce as the battle he himself had experienced.
Know.
Typhon became friends with Gabriel.
Know.
The Elven is assimilated with many divine beasts, including those from the 1st Heavenly Realm.
Now all we have to do is deal with Asmodeus here.
Kyaang.
Of course, if I send him away without finishing him here.
If they lose and let themselves be eaten.
If I restore him to the level of a demon dragon.
‘Not even the Elven can withstand it.’
As an exhausted Fairy King, the divine beast of the 1000 world will be taken away without a single move.
If he regains his power as an archangel and elevates himself to the King of the Upper World, no one will be able to stop him.
The hardships we have endured so far will crumble like a castle.
so.
“Thank you for coming.”
Instead of saying sorry, I said thank you.
[Thank you. [For trusting me.]
I smiled even though I looked weak.
If the power of the King of the Lower World, using all the moves, does not reach the power of the King of the Upper World.
The last plan she proposed was.
[The main woman who dealt with the archangels was re-entering the queen’s world.]
Archangel Gabriel.
There was a time when all plans almost went to waste in front of the final archangel.
[This is the power preserved through Typhon’s sacrifice.]
Rosaria swung her one remaining tentacle.
Tsuzuzu. Tsuzzzzzz.
Electricity seems to flow into the discharged device.
Quarr. Crrrrr.
The Queen’s world, which had stopped, became active.
Kyaang.
Her tentacle struck out three thorns.
[Do you remember? They said that if she arrived here, she would be in complete disrepair.]
“Yes. Exactly.”
They said it was disappearing.
[It was not a short life.]
Also.
[It was a life without regrets.]
Quaaaaa. Quaa.
A fully activated world unleashed the power of the Archprinces.
The power of the princes.
The imperfect demon king was crushed.
Sigh.
Rosaria’s tentacle pierced Taehyun.
Tsuzzzzzz. Tsuzuzu.
Rosaria’s accomplishments flowed into Taehyun’s body.
[My wife will remember you.]
No need to say anything.
I just nodded.
[Win. Contractor.]
Thus.
[Become a true king.]
Just for a moment when power comes in.
I felt dizzy.
The divine power and magic that she preserved, Typhon postponed extinction, and the Elven filled.
A huge power spread throughout the body.
When I open my eyes again.
Even the benevolent Succubus Queen.
The tentacle she had thrust into was no longer real.
“okay.”
This time, when Taehyun overcame the bombardment of power, he saw the Demon King reduced to a great evil.
“I have to win.”
Tsuzzzz.
Dragon slayer sword.
I held a sword that was broken and no longer existed.
[Do not hasten death.]
The Great Devil, who had begun regeneration, burst into flames.
You know it.
That their status has become equal.
Kyaang.
The dragon slayer sword and the thorn collided.
[The only one left is you.]
Just before returning.
A voice that sounded like scraping metal seemed to echo in my head.
Kyaang.
Someday players.
The red eyes of the great evil that had annihilated a large party were shining brightly.
Kyaang.
The broken dragon slayer sword was inserted into the Great Devil’s chest.
Phew.
The broken thorn got stuck in Taehyun’s chest.
betrayal. Destruction. secret.
What he wanted to achieve, achieved and was able to achieve.
All possibilities were explored.
It seeped in.
eroded.
Even though I am enduring a huge force, laughter escapes me.
I was able to laugh.
Now I can say it.
“You’re wrong, Asmodeus.”
Wiggle.
Taehyun’s body trembled.
Wow.
Grab the horns of a great devil that is one head taller than you.
Sigh.
We put our heads together.
Two pairs of unwavering red eyes met.
[Don’t be bluff.]
Whoosh.
Power comes rushing in.
“Do not resist.”
Dream eating.
Purple magic power.
The season of the Succubus Queen, which no longer exists, has swallowed up the collapsing world.
[…!!]
Whoosh.
Taehyun’s other hand grabbed Asmodeus’ horn as he tried to escape.
“You worked hard too.”
Predation.
Dark red magical power.
The power of the Underworld King, which could no longer be used, flowed through both hands.
The magic power transmitted through the horn seeped into the body of the great devil.
[….]
“….”
Taehyun released the hands he was holding and stepped back.
Meanwhile, Asmodeus showed no movement.
just.
[I see.]
It’s happening to your own body.
I recognized the movement of the maw that was gnawing away at my body from the inside.
“okay.”
[Did ‘God’ lose?]
I shook my head.
“You are not God.”
just.
“SSS level monster. Asmodeus. He is just an archdemon who would have become the Demon King in the original timeline.”
Taehyun from the past corrected me.
[….]
The silence was not long.
[‘Bonma’ lost.]
“It was difficult.”
[Kim Tae-hyun.]
Oh my.
The maw of the dream opened above, exposing its teeth.
[You guy.]
Ugh.
The predatory maw opened below, exposing its teeth.
[It’s the king.]
Crack.
Quad deuk.
The two maws were once kings of the Upper World.
I swallowed it.
Chewed and swallowed.
The place where the mouth disappeared was empty.
“finished.”
dump.
I sat down.
I quietly looked up at the collapsing world.
I felt like I could hear the Queen’s laughter in my ears.
