The Player Returns After 10,000 Years Chapter 324
Atonement (2)
Let’s ask one question.
An ugly monster with rotten pus dripping down its face stared at Rakiel.
Constellation of Pain. A comrade who took the side of the Demon God in the confrontation between the Demon God Bauli and the Three Elementary Spirits in the distant past. ‘no.’
Rakiel shook his head. Comrades, such an expression is not appropriate between the evil constellations.
No camaraderie, no camaraderie. We just fought together because we were on the same side.
Why did you come back to the light now?
Rakiel kept his mouth shut.
He replied with a look of despair in his eyes.
Why did you serve the demon god? –
…what?
I hoped for Seraphim. Longed to hold her… in my hands.
Rakiel’s eyes shone sharply.
The demon god took advantage of my obsession. He turned his obsession into madness and made him accept his demonic energy. irreversible past. With the words of an angel who fell under the devil’s temptation,
his hands were smeared with the blood of countless comrades at his command. I have committed a sin that can never be washed away. Rakiel opens his mouth. But I realized it only after the demon died and the woman I longed for sacrificed herself to seal the darkness.
The fact that he was being manipulated by the Demon God.
Deceived by his sweet tongue, intoxicated with the infinite power and desire delivered by Magi.
that he had committed an irreversible sin.
I will atone
Rakiel clenched his fists firmly.
You want to atone…? Gaia’s gaze turned to Rakiel. She was looking down at Rakiel, who bowed her head in front of her with trembling eyes, as if desperately suppressing her rising emotions.
yes.
Rakiel gave a short answer. Ha, I heard Gaia’s absurd laughter in my ears.
A very cynical
reaction for a god who was called the goddess of loving-kindness along with Seraphim.
Rakiel’s body trembled. But then he closed his eyes and lowered his head. ‘…of course.’
If I had been in this situation, I would have reacted the same way. Because
he
was the Constellation of Corruption, not anyone else.
Are you talking about knowing what you are talking about?
Gaia asked in a voice full of energy.
yes i know If so, there must be something wrong with your head. If I was sane, I wouldn’t have dared to say the word atonement.
….
Words like sharp blades. Rakiel
just kept her head down with her mouth firmly shut.
Gaia’s eyes narrowed. tell the truth With what confidence did you appear before me? Are you taking the people of this planet as hostages?
It is not a lie to make atonement. I swear by my divinity.
…what?
For the first time, agitation appeared on Gaia’s face.
An oath made with divinity.
She knew very well how much it meant.
But do you think that you can be forgiven for the myriad sins you have committed?
Wooddeuk.
Gaia raised a huge energy and glared at Rakiel.
Rakiel shook his head slowly. I don’t think it can be forgiven
.
calm voice.
Rakiel himself knew.
The sins he committed are the countless blood on his hands.
that it cannot be forgiven.
‘but.’
clenched fists but. Although I know better than anyone that I cannot be forgiven. ‘at least.
I wanted to say a word of sincere apology.
I wanted to find at least some understanding of why he did what he did.
‘And if possible.
Although it was already far too late. I wanted to pay the penalty.
I wanted to refill some of the water that had already been spilled. Then why did you come to me? Gaia’s voice is still cold. At the time, I was… being manipulated by a demon. The Demon God controlled my body and my mind,
causing me to lead my precious comrades down the path of corruption. Ha so it’s not your fault? no. I don’t mean to say that.
Rakiel shook his head. It is said that I was manipulated by a demon, but I clearly remember all the sins I committed. And I know very well that it is unforgivable to say that I was manipulated.
He bites his lip and continues talking. But at least
for the countless comrades who died because of me… I thought I should offer a sincere apology.
low-pitched voice. sadly trembling eyes.
No matter how you look at it, the goddess kept her mouth shut with a sincere expression that made it impossible to believe that she was telling a lie.
– Ugh!
Where are you talking nonsense!
Sihun Kim exclaimed as he put his inner strength into the holy sword.
A voice filled with deep anger spread throughout the room.
‘That human is…’
Rakiel made a surprised expression for a moment at the first human appearance.
A human eye looking at itself.
I felt the rage burning inside of me.
My mind was complicated. ‘Is the sin I committed so great?’
A long time has passed since the war between the demons and the three gods ended.
It was probably a war that that human father, that father’s father, could not have gone through.
Even so, he sent such a burning anger in his eyes.
My heart got even heavier. wait my child Gaia raised a hand to stop Kim Si-hoon.
Sihun Kim turned his head to say something, but when he saw Gaia’s gaze, he shut his mouth.
Gaia’s eyes were as cold as frost.
Didn’t you just say that you definitely remember the sins you committed?
That’s right.
Rakiel nodded.
It was a memory from when he was being manipulated by a demon, but at least he remembered clearly what he had done.
Confess your sins yourself.
The name of the goddess has fallen.
Rakiel hesitated for a moment. A situation similar to when a murderer is asked to recite how he committed the murder.
I was rather hesitant to speak because I clearly remembered what I had done.
He regretted saying that he remembered the sins he had committed.
‘no.’
Rakiel shook his head. My heart burned with heavy guilt, but I had to say it with my own mouth. I… I couldn’t overcome my obsession with Seraphim. Unable to overcome the demon’s temptation, he embraced the demon inside his body.
Rakiel’s confession began.
According to Pauli’s command, I corrupted my own people and burned countless angels with my own hands. No… not just angels.
Tears fell from Rakiel’s eyes as he lowered his head.
The tears shed by the fallen angels were as transparent as those of humans.
Humans… fairies… I corrupted them with my own hands. I seduced them and trampled on them.
My shoulders tremble.
His confession was approaching sobs before he knew it.
I’ve really… I’ve sinned a lot.
A burning pain in the chest. Memories of that time come to mind vividly.
The image of oneself smiling while looking at those who failed to overcome their desire and fell.
The memory of being manipulated by a demon god and brutally killing a fellow countryman.
Fragments of all those memories. Sharply stir your brain. If I hadn’t escaped from the hands of the Demon God… I wouldn’t have thought of this for the rest of my life.
Controlled by a demon. Even thinking about it myself, I think it’s a cowardly word.
But what can I do? He was really manipulated by him. If it wasn’t for the Demon God,
there wouldn’t even be any corruption in the first place. ‘Pauli.’
It reminds me of a colossus engulfed in darkness like the bottomless pit.
Anger burns as fiercely as the weight of guilt on your shoulders.
sorry.
Rakiel hit his head on the floor.
sorry.
The floor of the Hall of Protection is broken.
sorry.
As if forcibly suppressing the demonic energy that flowed naturally within his body, Rakiel’s forehead was torn open and black blood was flowing.
I will accept any sin. If you want to take my head, I will cut it myself right here and now.
Rakiel said in a voice mixed with tears.
regret and anger. Remnants of the past, shimmering like a haze, shimmered in his eyes.
In the afterimage, he saw Seraphim and himself kneeling in front of him, laughing.
Really…
he stretches out his hand without realizing it.
However, the afterimage he reached out to disappeared like a mirage.
Tears flow. I was wrong…
A faint voice that seems to be cut off. … Are you saying that’s the end?
Gaia’s voice came.
Rakiel slowly raised his head.
Yes that’s it.
…….
A heavy silence fell. Is it true that I have told you all the sins you have committed? That’s right.
Rakiel nodded with a much lighter expression.
And
that’s all you said…?
The anger of the goddess soared to the top of her head.
How can you be so shameless!!!
She stomped her feet with burning eyes.
cooong! The goddess’ anger shakes the earth. Why didn’t you dare to tell me that I kidnapped and tortured Gaia’s child?
yes?
Rakiel’s eyes widen.
No, it wasn’t just torture. You bastard planted demonic energy in the body of my followers and even tried to turn them into monsters!!
What is that…
Ha! I thought it was impossible from the beginning, but how can you be so shameless!
The anger of the goddess burning like fire burst out like an explosion.
Wait a minute Gaia.
Rakiel stared at her as if she was talking about something.
I have never kidnapped and tortured Gaia-sama’s family, nor
have I ever tried to corrupt them into monsters.
No matter how much I remember, I’ve never done anything like that.
The same goes for Seraphim, but Gaia was famous for loving and cherishing her chosen ones as if they were her own children.
No matter how much he was manipulated by the Demon God, he did not do anything crazy enough to kidnap and corrupt the family of the highest god.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Gaia let out a dejected laugh.
You’re so excited! My child, who was beaten by you, is right in front of me! Are you just saying a lie that doesn’t even sound like a word!
…What is it?
before I even ask. Keugh! Cool! Cool!
The sharp-eyed young man standing next to Gaia fell to the floor.
Gaia was startled and went all the way to him.
I am my child!
Cool! Cool!
Black blood gushed from Kang Woo’s mouth.
Ugly green tentacles pierced his fingertips like parasitic plants.
Miss Gaia…
said in a faint voice as if the rain was about to stop. Rakiel… Forgive me. What is it? Gaia’s eyes widened. Even though he made me like this… kuh kuluk! Wasn’t that his will
?
that and
Kang Woo took Gaia’s hand. He… is strong. No matter how much Gaia-sama uses her strength! They say they got it back… but in danger… coke! Wow! My child…. Even at times like this when tears flowed down Gaia’s cheeks
.
Even at the moment of being encroached on by demonic energy and becoming a monster,
you still worry about yourself. don’t worry my child Gaia wakes up You must… I will save you.
big. A huge energy flowed from her body.
A suffocating life was directed at Rakiel.
…uh?
Rakiel
looked at Gaia and the human young man in her arms with a dumb expression.
‘what?’
What happened?
