Chapter 194. Kill me 2021.12.11.
Abelardo’s land rejects Aidan.
“Because of divine power?”
“Perhaps.”
“But my divine power is fine.”
On the contrary, it suppressed the black energy and made it possible to regain reason despite the overlapping prohibitions.
“Maybe only your holy power, Bribri, is fine. Haven’t you ever been exposed to the divine power of other priests?”
Since Aidan had an immortal body, he did not need to heal his wounds, so he was not exposed to the divine power of other priests.
‘Because I can’t do the experiment right now.’
First of all, Aidan, who had a pale complexion, had to rest. I entered Aidan’s private room and shut the door. I pushed Aidan, who was still pretending to be okay, toward the bed, and Aidan sat helplessly.
“Stop holding on and lie down.”
“I can bear it.”
“no. don’t stand it You should rest if you are sick.”
Those who are accustomed to suffering do not know how to show off. Aidan did just that. But just because I was used to it didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
“Aidan should go back to the imperial castle first. You will still be sick if you stay here.”
“…I don’t like it.”
The face that was frowning to endure the pain was really stubborn. Even if it was Hwangmyeong, it seemed that he would not listen. Eventually I took a step back.
“The concentration of divine power inside the temple is higher than here, but it would be better not to go inside. So, I’m waiting for you at this inn. huh?”
It seemed that he still didn’t like my order, but Aidan finally agreed. I put Aidan on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and came out. The added questions only got more and more amplified. Leaning against the doorway, I was deep in thought.
‘What kind of existence is Aidan?’
Is Aidan really a red disaster? But the important thing was my heart, which thought that Aidan didn’t care what kind of existence he was.
‘Even if it’s a disaster.’
***
The sanctuary of the Temple of Abelardo was enveloped in desolate darkness. Concentrated divine power scattered around objects around the spring of the god, illuminating the surroundings like fireflies. In the night sky of the sanctuary that had been opened, there was a cloudy moon with a halo. A paladin would have been waiting at the entrance of the sanctuary to protect the essence of the tree of creation, which would normally have been sunk in the spring of the god. However, since the God King was away, the essence of the tree of creation was moved to the chamber inside the sanctuary, so there was no one guarding the sanctuary. that buck … that buck. A shadow darker than darkness stepped on the white marble floor of the sanctuary. Careful steps followed the path of the spring of the gods and entered the sanctuary without hesitation. Eventually, the place where they stopped was right in front of the door leading to the innermost chamber of the sanctuary. His trembling hands, as if somewhat nervous, took something out of his arms. It was a yelium that shone brilliantly in the reflection of the moonlight. The shadow invoked the power of Yelium, which opened the ventricle door. Kugoong-. A long vibration echoed through the sanctuary, but the ventricle door did not budge.
“…?”
The shadow panicked and once again invoked the power of Yelium. Kugu Palace-. Again, the door vibrated, but the door did not open. It was then.
“It won’t open no matter what.”
Startle. The shadow slowly turned its head at the familiar voice coming from behind. Soon after, the moonlight receded, and the bright moonlight revealed the face of the uninvited guest.
“The traitor was you. … number.”
number of elders. She is the only female among the 12 elders and was the talent of Abelardo, who became an elder in her 30s. In terms of the amount of potential divine power, it was only next to God King Michael. Seeing Michael appear out of nowhere, Sue smiled casually.
“What do you mean traitor haha?”
“Hmm.”
“I was just curious. Stop wondering what a chamber that only His Holiness can enter would look like!”
“okay?”
“You’re not doubting me, are you?”
Sue, who smiled brightly, was lively and innocent, as usual. If anyone saw it, they would think that they tried to open the door of the ventricle out of curiosity. However, Michael’s answer was stern.
“Not in doubt, but in certainty.”
“…haha.”
“Because you have a habit of raising one corner of your mouth when you lie.”
Sue’s hand automatically went to her mouth. Michael pointed out fiercely.
“It’s a lie, but it looks like it was stabbed.”
“…I really can’t stand His Holiness.”
At the same time as her poet, Mabel and Enrique, who were dormant, appeared. The three surrounded Sue. Michael had been watching her since Sue, who was born in an ordinary family in Abelardo, entered the temple in recognition of her great divine power. Even at the time when Sue, who was a child, walked around the temple unknowingly, Michael was a god-king, so he watched her growth process without exception. It wasn’t obvious, but it would be false if I said I wasn’t shocked.
‘I thought it was Elliot.’
It was suspicious that Renesmee was suddenly appointed as the seed of God, saying that he had suddenly gained divine power, so he looked at Elliott’s movements, but was it in vain? He did not answer the question of why he betrayed. Betrayal was already something that could not be undone.
“Did even the seed of God come to see my face? It’s an honor Yelium!”
ha ha ha. Sue laughed. like a desperate person. But they didn’t show any gaps. Mabel asked, ready to attack at any time.
“Is the reason you want to enter the ventricle is the essence of the tree of creation?”
“well?”
“Are you attached to the Emperor of Devlin?”
“Your Majesty is very curious!”
“What is your purpose?”
Sue only avoided answering and seemed unwilling to have a proper conversation.
‘Could it be that I’m wasting my time?’
When Mabel’s thoughts went crazy.
“…Enrique!”
Black energy was shot at Enrique.
“Ugh!”
When Enrique slashed the energy with his sword, it took a detour and tried to pierce his back. But Mabel’s barrier was faster. The black energy that collided with the solid divine barrier lost its power and was offset. Taking advantage of Mabel’s focus on Enrique’s defense, Sue turned around. coo goo goo-. The yellium that Sue had and the yellium that was in Michael’s arms resonated and the ventricle doors began to open.
“number.”
Michael called Sue, but the ventricles had already opened.
“Don’t stop me, Your Holiness.”
Su jumped into the ventricle. The divine barrier opened by Michael held Sue, but she did not stop walking.
“Kyaaaagh!”
Forcibly breaking the barrier was accompanied by great pain. His clothes were ripped off and he felt a burning sensation in his skin, but he ran. Eventually, she stopped at the altar where the essences of the Genesis Tree that Mabel and Michael had collected so far were placed.
“Get that hand off. right now.”
Despite Michael’s warning that followed, Sue held the essence of the tree of creation in her hand without hesitation. True to its other name, moonstone, the essence shone brilliantly in the moonlight that came through the transparent ceiling. Sue, who had two hands full of more than ten essences, tightened her grip. Wooddeuk. Wood Deuk! A thin incontinence went on the surface, and soon the essence was completely broken. All of the life force that flowed out was absorbed into Sue.
“Ughhh!”
Unable to withstand the power of the suddenly absorbed essence, Sue’s body trembled as if convulsing. Despite the excruciating pain, as if being burned at the stake, Sue absorbed all the power of even the remaining essence in her hand.
“number!!”
When Michael opened the divine barrier once again, Sue could no longer move. Her body, which had already run amok with excessive force, was so tattered that it was difficult to withstand the restraints of the barrier, but she persevered.
“If you try to break the barrier, your life will be in danger.”
Sue’s body was already so damaged that it was difficult to lift a finger. He couldn’t do any trickery anymore. Michael moved towards Sue. When I reached right in front of the shroud, she smiled with a half-shattered face.
“…Yelium.”
“…!”
The black energy engulfed the surroundings like an explosion. Sensing that getting caught up in it would be fatal, Michael opened a barrier to protect himself and stepped back. Sue, who left a final goodbye for Michael, completely escaped Abelardo by using the power of Yelium.
“Michael!”
“Are you okay, Your Excellency?”
Belatedly, Mabel and Enrique entered the chamber, but all that was left were the essences that the number on the altar had not yet grasped. The three of them didn’t say anything for a while. Missing the traitor right in front of your eyes. No one expected that the existence of Abelardo’s priest would use black energy.
“How did you use the black energy?”
Mabel frowned. It was definitely the same energy as Aidan’s black energy.
“Aidan Aserad was originally from Devlin, so it must have something to do with Devlin.”
Saying that, Michael pulled out the Yelium from his bosom.
“It’s actually Devlin.”
Since the two Yeliums were a pair, they were able to roughly estimate each other’s location. The location of the other Yelium was in Devlin, not far from expectations.
“What now?”
To Enrique’s question, Michael answered with a dejected smile.
“How is it? It’s ruined.”
The pendulum of power maintaining the world, which had barely been balanced, had tipped to one side again.

“Keugh…”
Sue groaned and straightened her legs as they staggered. The body that had the mighty life force could not stand it and was breaking. But Sue didn’t care and walked on.
‘It doesn’t matter if lifespan decreases.’
If only I could burn the rest of my life.
‘Is it a sin to covet strong power?’
Sue wanted to become stronger. That was it. Both the family members who sold themselves to the temple because they could not speak properly, and the priests of Abelardo who ridiculed them for taking the position of elders despite being female priests, all felt the same disgust. After passing through the black barrier that wrapped around the entire building, Sue immediately had an audience with the emperor of Devlin. He was in the building’s laboratory. All sorts of things were scattered all over the place, so there was no space to set foot on. There was Veron Arthur Devlica. Wrapped in bandages, Sue handed him the Yelium. Surprisingly, Veron, known for being one-armed, had both arms.
“What did you wish for? I don’t remember very well.”
Sue lowered her head at Veron’s light question as he was rolling the Yelium in his hand.
“I want strong power.”
“Hasn’t the power already been given? Power incomparable to Abelardo’s holy power.”
“I want more power.”
“It’s a stronger power than that…”
Veron, who was agonizing with his chin resting on his head, nodded.
“good night. give me strength.”
Baron slowly approached Sue, leading his skinny body. Will he completely obtain the power of the ‘black energy’ he tasted? Just as she was full of anticipation, Veron’s hand pierced Sue’s heart.
“…Ouch!”
The death groan.
“Isn’t there a force stronger than death?”
Kuk Kuk Kuk …. Veron laughed meanly and absorbed all of Sue’s life force. Even the power of the essence she absorbed. I felt the strength of my body, which had been cracked and weakened, return. With Sue’s bloody hands, Veron slowly unwrapped the bandages covering his face.
“That moment is not far…”
Soon, Veron’s face, which had been hidden under the bandages, appeared. His face full of joy was as strong as when he was young.
***
‘I can’t do this.’
All of my 10 years of hard work in search of essence was in vain. Nevertheless, the sun rose and the morning of the announcement ceremony was bright.
“Damn God, Damn Ades…!”
With a thrilling sense of immorality insulting the gods in the temple, I stood in the hall of the great temple where the ceremony was held. There was an altar at the top of the high stairs. With Abelardo’s priests watching, I climbed the steps and stood on the altar. After twists and turns, it was announced to the world that it was the seed of God. Directly below the altar, Michael dressed in his holy clothes and held a temple while reciting verses of worship to God. It was really boring.
“… and water gushed up at the place where the god took the first step, so it is called the spring of the god and is called the sanctuary. God took a second step…”
‘I’ll go back and eat a hamburger when it’s over.’
More than anything else, when I decided on the menu for my next meal, my eyes suddenly sparkled.
“…!”
Screams erupted from everywhere.
“Something!”
“Isn’t it an oracle?”
“Oh Yelium!”
Mixed with the priests’ murmur, someone’s voice was heard.
[…Give me.]
The trace of the voice quickly disappeared. But I heard it right away as it was scary to cut off.
[…Me…]
“Me…?”
. . .
[Kill me.]
