Episode 593
593. Side Story Demon God (5)
Little girl.
It was a small child who appeared to be in his early ten years old. Long, soft jet-black hair flows down. Black eyes look at them narrowly.
It was very beautiful, but that was all. There was no feeling of great power or stature from the girl.
But Baal was astonished.
The girl is ordinary.
Its power and quality are insignificant.
But still, Baal could feel it. About what the girl has.
“Nine years ago. A child was born. The child’s mother died during childbirth. The father also died in the accident. “I took charge of the child and started raising it.”
The man could not contain his excitement and spoke quickly.
“And it wasn’t long before I realized. “That child is a genius.”
Crazy eyes turn to Lucifer.
“I didn’t teach my child anything. But after just five months, I started speaking the language smoothly. “A lot more freely than an average adult.”
He interpreted the structure of the words he heard, grasped their meaning, and made it his own.
“At just one year old, he was able to walk and run perfectly. “He began to master his physical abilities.”
The child never fell.
He stood up and moved freely on his own without relying on anyone.
“I defeated this kid by pure skill when he was only seven years old. “I didn’t teach anything.”
By observing the man’s movements with his own eyes, he understood the movement of force and the structure of the movements, and made them his own.
With just that alone, the immortal man was defeated through skill.
“This kid is a genius. No, it cannot be described with such expressions.”
The man spread his arms. A loud voice echoed through the basement.
“This child is a miracle!”
“Noisy.”
Lucifer grimaced as if his ears hurt.
miracle.
Baal had always laughed at that expression, but this time he could not deny it.
An entity that would be considered a miracle if it appeared once every hundreds of millions of years, even in the entire universe.
A person who is born with the possibility of becoming a transcendent from birth.
Such a being was born in this small model box.
Baal is a god. It is the enemy of the transcendent that existed before the creation of the universe.
It’s a huge risk to them.
Baal’s instincts stirred. At that moment, Lucifer’s eyes turned to Baal.
Grinning.
Laughter is directed at Baal. Baal unconsciously took half a step back as his gaze was piercing through him.
“Do you know?”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
The man did not understand what Lucifer meant. Lucifer shook his head.
“I guess you don’t know. Well hidden. Aside from that, who are you?”
Lucifer’s eyes turn to Taesan.
There was a look of puzzlement on his face.
“It’s very heterogeneous. “Neither this nor that.”
“gentile.”
Taesan said calmly.
‘Is this a demon from when I was mortal?’
Surprisingly, there was no significant difference from the current Demon God. The difference was only in the power and rank it possessed, but its speech and gestures were almost identical to the current Demon God. It was a complete entity from the beginning.
“Something… seems familiar.”
Lucifer narrowed his eyes.
“It feels somewhat familiar… but it can’t be. Something is blocking it. “Is this your first time feeling this way?”
Lucifer rolled his eyes in amusement.
“fun.”
The current Lucifer must have placed restrictions on his past self to prevent him from understanding Taesan.
But Lucifer penetrated even that limitation. Although I couldn’t see through the contradiction, I succeeded in recognizing it.
‘Is this what it is?’
This is the vessel of the transcendent.
Taesan was purely amazed. It was a talent beyond understanding.
[…It might be possible.]
Baal said after a moment of silence.
[It’s possible.]
This girl could make a man’s wish come true. The man smiled brightly.
“I will save my people! Turn a girl into a god and put a curse on us! It will give us freedom!”
Mad cry.
The target, Lucifer, had a sour face.
* * *
[Is it okay for me to see something like this?]
“Why all of a sudden?”
[no. I feel like I’m doing something profane.]
Bard Ray muttered in an anxious tone. If you think about it, it was Taesan who allowed Lucifer to see his past. It wasn’t Bardray.
“doesn’t care. “The demon god must have known that you saw it too.”
[Then I’m glad. Anyway… it’s fascinating.]
Demon God. Lucifer was the god of evil. It was an absolute truth that was so natural that no one questioned it.
But here, Lucifer was not a demon god.
She was just a small, ordinary girl. Of course, the talent was not ordinary, but at least it was of that level.
Watching it with his own eyes was a very strange feeling for Bardray.
“Is this what it means to be a created god?”
Lucifer spoke to Taesan. He said he was a created god. It’s a tool for demons.
There was no lie in those words.
She was truly a god created out of necessity.
“Is it real from here?”
Taesan’s body gradually begins to be shrouded in darkness. Even transcendental beings or ancient gods cannot recognize the existence of Taesan.
Before long he disappeared completely.
* * *
That night. A time when the darkness became deeper.
Baal had quietly entered the basement where Lucifer was sleeping.
Lucifer was lying down on the small bed, sleeping quietly.
Just looking at him, he was a very cute kid.
Just by looking at her appearance, it was hard to believe that the girl was a vessel for the transcendent.
[Hmm.]
It was Baal’s first time seeing the vessel of the Transcendent.
A miraculous being born with the qualifications to become a transcendent from birth.
The girl in front of me would be able to destroy the small model box and liberate the demons.
Of course, there were still many problems. Now I am just a vessel of the transcendent and have no power. It was close to impossible to solve all problems.
But it’s not impossible.
Even if it were only possible, the girl could have become a transcendent and overtake the demon world.
He is a god.
The danger must be eliminated.
The man’s device is not yet complete. I just had to deal with it right now.
The moment he tries to move.
“…an uninvited guest came in.”
A voice rings out. girl. Lucifer suddenly opened his eyes and was looking at Baal.
“You came into the girl’s bedroom. “Isn’t that too rude?”
[I’m sorry about that.]
The girl slowly got up. My hair was disheveled on the bed.
Black eyes turned to Baal.
Every time Baal felt those gazes, he felt himself being pierced.
“It looks free.”
[All older people are like that. After going through everything, it becomes more of a hassle.]
“I think that’s good too. Doesn’t being free mean that you enjoyed everything you had to enjoy? So, you must have felt bored.”
A girl looks up at the ceiling with a bored face.
“I’m free too. “It’s because, unlike you, I don’t experience anything.”
[I think it will feel a little better if I take a walk.]
“I can’t leave this place. He cares for me very much. “If I get even a small injury, I react as if the world has collapsed.”
[I guess so. He is the one who will make your dream come true for you.]
“Even so, he is nothing more than a tool.”
The girl lay down on the bed as if she were bored.
Lucifer, who had been looking up at the ceiling blankly, turned his head.
“It has a unique smell.”
[Smell?]
“It’s similar to the flowers I smelled as a child, but it smells a little different.”
[Are you talking about the scent of black tea?]
“Black tea?”
[I don’t even know what black tea is.]
If I think about it, there was no way there was such a thing as black tea in this small model garden.
Baal smiled slightly.
[Would you like to experience it?]
Lucifer nodded slowly.
Baal returned to his residence and brought tea leaves and a tea cup. Boil the water and slowly steep the tea leaves.
“Hey.”
Lucifer watched the scent rise with curious eyes.
There was something strange about that sight for Baal.
How could someone who could threaten him, who had the potential to become a transcendental person, be interested in such a small thing? It was something funny and fun.
“It smells good.”
[It seems like enough has come out. Drink it once.]
Lucifer slowly picked up the teacup. I was surprised by the warmth for a moment, then carefully brought it to my mouth.
“…It’s delicious.”
[It’s worth enjoying.]
“Is there a lot of stuff like this out there?”
[There are even better ones.]
“I’m jealous. There’s nothing here. Even if there is one, they won’t let it go.”
Lucifer drank the black tea in an instant and quenched his appetite with regret.
“It’s not enough. “Hmm…”
After thinking for a moment, Lucifer clapped his hands as if a good idea came to him.
“good. “Then why don’t we make a deal?”
[Deal?]
“Bring me some outside entertainment, like black tea. Then, when it’s all over, I’ll spare you.”
[You’re saying that I did something wrong and you’re sparing me.]
“You’re an old god, right?”
Lucifer said with an indifferent expression.
Baal laughed.
[You figured it out well.]
“How could you not know when you are so full of energy?”
[The person who calls you a miracle didn’t notice.]
“Because he’s a fool.”
Lucifer said angrily.
“I heard a lot of stories from him. Our eternal enemy. A monster that never dies. “A twisted being that existed before the creation of the universe.”
[Are you asking me to make a deal even though you know that?]
“That’s why you’re asking for it. “Even if I become a transcendent, I will save you.”
This tiny girl boldly proposed to the arch-demon Baal.
“There is no harm to you. Even though these little toys are nothing to you, right? It’s barely worth this much to save your life. “An extraordinary price?”
Without retreating or wavering, as if he were truly on top.
It wasn’t that I didn’t notice his power. The girl wasn’t that stupid. I knew everything about Baal and what kind of power he had.
The girl was a vessel for the transcendent, but she was not the transcendent. He could have killed him with a simple snap of his finger.
‘That’s fun.’
Baal laughed. It was a real laugh that I don’t know how long it’s been since I last laughed.
[I guess I can’t refuse this because I’m afraid.]
Baal joked. Just like a play. Like a great actor.
[good night. I accept it. Little child.]
