73. Facing the Lord of Jupiter (1)
Life was not even visible as a dot.
But there was no doubt that that land contained something.
If there is a God, wouldn’t it be this star itself?
Berol will also live there.
Migo lives there too.
Humans, demons, and even the great dragon…
just live.
“Hyung, what are we?”
“You’re human, right?”
“What does it mean? “These little beings.”
“If birth has no particular meaning, then death will too.”
“Regin.”
“Wasn’t your brother scared? “Fighting with the devil.”
“I was desperate because I was scared. “I raised my voice louder and gripped my sword more strongly.”
Water formed around Regin’s eyes.
Water droplets floated and floated across the dark sky.
Even tears became magic here.
I touched my own teardrops with my hands.
“I’m not crying because I’m scared.”
“know. “You are a great warrior of Regin Pan Holybeach.”
The two brothers looked at the stars for a really long time.
It was a monotonous scenery, but somehow I never got tired of looking at it.
If you float as you please, the sun rises and the moon sets on the other side.
“You won’t change your decision, right?”
“My wife and Mr. Cadenza. Neither of them will ever stop seeking revenge. “If I don’t become the focal point, their hearts will have no place to stay.”
“I came here saying that there was no war…
“I thought they wouldn’t rush into the demon world if we weren’t there.”
“It means that their desires were stronger.”
“Brother, please take me to him.”
“You mean Deus?”
“yes.”
“Do you think I’ll do it?”
“My resolve will not change. Wouldn’t it be better to make fewer sacrifices? If this continues, many more warriors and knights will die.”
Zeke looked into Regin’s eyes.
His eyes with blue stars shining through.
“The expedition will depart in a month. When 10 people gather, there are 10 people. “If 100 people gather, 100 people
will seek the devil’s life.”
one month.
Zeke took his words to heart once again.
If you don’t make another way in the meantime, Regin will die.
He was frustratingly stubborn, but I couldn’t criticize him.
Because that was Holly Bitch.
Regin returned to his barracks and commanded his troops as usual.
There was no hint about the future at all. While
his wife April inspected the army,
he served her as a commander, subject, and knight.
Zeke watched Regin from afar for three days.
And on the fourth day, he disappeared from the military.
Even Signi and his colleagues were left behind.
The Earth was not the only one carrying life in this universe.
However, it was undoubtedly true that the twelve archangels were protecting this star with all their might
.
Although each person’s work was different, they all had the pride of working for God.
Among them, there was an army guarding the outer space of the stars.
At one time, when humanity expanded beyond the stars, the work angels had to do was much more diverse than it is now.
When the pirates of the 5th Orbital Asteroid Belt rebelled and tried to crash the dwarf planet Ceres to Earth, it was angels disguised as humans who secretly prevented it.
The being commanding them was the great angel Hamiel.
The monarch of beauty and the master of vitality, she was nicknamed the Angel of the Universe. It seems like she actually hates it herself.
She was now chasing a being that was leaving the atmosphere at an incredible speed.
“Ha… Overtechnology should also be at an appropriate level. “A dark particle thrust engine from the Middle Ages.”
One of Hamiel’s subordinate angels spoke.
“Shall we stop it?”
“No, stop. “It would be too much for you.”
“We are only human.”
“Then would you like to try it? “At the cost of your life.”
“That’s…
“Pride comes pride. That’s probably not the feeling we need. We are your hands and feet. Like a fine tooth, according to Him, that’s enough. “Thinking machines have no place in this world.”
“sorry.”
“Everyone stay in their positions. “I will deal with
that child .”
“All right.”
Hamiel spread his wings.
The light radiated brilliantly and drew a thick line.
In an instant, the distance narrowed.
The moment they became parallel, Hamiel measured the speed.
1000 kilometers per second.
Even considering that it was outer space, it was difficult to think of the speed that the human body could handle.
“Stop. Zeke van Jade. “He is a human hero.”
Zeke glanced his head.
Hamiel’s huge wings were visible a few hundred meters away.
The vortex created by the two propellants created a huge haze.
A pale green light spread like an aurora across the vast expanse of space.
Zeke slowed down.
In that space, I knelt down and bowed my head.
“O great one. “I have infinite respect for your presence.”
Hamiel burst out laughing at that sight.
How could a being who left the Earth by his own power be so polite to an angel?
The arrogant devil from last time actually felt normal.
Hamiel looked at Zeke for a long time.
Feeling burdened by those gazes, Zeke bowed his head again.
“Did I perhaps do something wrong?”
“What should I say? “Isn’t that too fast?”
” yes?”
Zeke widened his eyes.
“So… Is there a law against flying at a speed higher than a certain speed? Speeding… such a crime?”
“Hmm, that’s not it.”
“Ah…
“Think about your level of civilization. Isn’t this the era of horses and carriages? Do you know how fast you just flew?”
“I have some work to do that requires me to go to Jupiter in ten days.”
Hamiel laughed while looking at Zeke scratching his head.
“You speak like a neighboring country.”
“That’s…
“You can’t believe you’re using the power of the Death God Beast like this. Why did Yulgeum teach this!”
“Please don’t blame Yulgeum. “The moon fell, so I had no choice but to learn it through hard work.”
“You already know what will happen that day. So what I want to say is to live in accordance with human common sense.”
“I’d like to, but I’m a little busy. If I have done something wrong,
please tell me quickly. “In the meantime, time passes.”
“What on earth is it about?”
“…Sorry, but the story is a bit long. If you want to hear it, could you fly with me?”
“I’m not really curious about that…
“Then is it okay if I go?”
“No, I’m not curious, but… I think I might need it for work, so I should listen. “Go first and I will follow.”
“Yes, Hamiel.”
Zeke
transformed the two Shinigami Beasts into thrust engines again.
Numerous circles appeared under my feet and the pressure of the particles increased, causing them to pour out like an explosion.
Simply put, it was a rocket.
The only difference is that its output is more than that of an interstellar rocket.
This is the energy that the Shinigami Beast, a beast created to destroy the world, emits with all its might.
Hamiel flew by Zeke’s side.
“Now speak.”
“I want to save my younger brother. To do that,
we need to find one person.”
“It’s out of the blue.”
“My younger brother is a warrior who inherited the Holy Beech family of Regin van Hollybitch. He’s a good guy, but he has a bit of a stubborn side… He swore to do one thing as a knight to his wife, Queen April. He said he would find the person who murdered Queen April’s father, the ancestral King Verde, and take revenge. The problem started there… The person who killed the previous king was none other than Deus.”
“Why does the name Deus appear there?”
“Because he is the devil. It appears that they ascended to the Joseon continent and attacked the royal palace of the largest country.”
“…This is something a villain would do. “Then why do you give an honorific title to such a devil?”
“I received great favor and swore that I would serve him as my master for the rest of my life.”
“Forsake that oath. “A warrior serves the devil!”
“Everyone says that, but it can’t be done. “The oath does not disappear just because
circumstances change .”
“Well, that’s enough of a story. But who on earth are you going to Jupiter for? Deus Did you say he went to Jupiter? “I have not received any such report.”
“no. “What I’m looking for is Nezar.”
Hamiel frowned at Zeke’s words.
“Isn’t Nezar the one who stole Babel?”
“yes.”
“We are looking for him too. But what about Jupiter? “ Why are you there
?”
“Actually, I’m not sure.”
“then?”
“Do you think that would be the case?”
“That’s nonsense!”
“Nezar is paranoid. They mistakenly believe themselves to be great gods. “Actually, it’s quite amazing, but it’s not great enough to chant the name of the great Lord.”
“You are a fool! But don’t underestimate him. The children he created actually fought a fierce war with our angel army.”
“I know the story. But aren’t you alone now? There will probably be a limit. Plus, there’s Deus. They are both villains, but Deus has the upper hand in terms of power, so Nezar is in the role of being bullied. Of course, this time I stabbed him in the back and ran away.”
“Are you coveting Babel too?”
“I actually don’t even know what that is. They say it’s kind of like a warp gate… It’s an ultra-long range Lyon. “I’m not interested in the barbell size, as it’s not big enough to escape the Earth.”
“So what does saving your brother have to do with finding your zar?”
“I want to make Deus leave the demon world.”
“You are trying to prevent your younger brother from keeping his oath!”
“yes. “It’s just a crude trick, but I think Deus-sama will overlook it.”
Zeke paused for a moment and then opened his mouth again.
“As I said before, Nezar is a bit harsh when it comes to sleeping and condescending. Plus, I tend to be a bit obsessed with the power of lightning
… When I add these two things together, Jupiter comes to mind. “I learned that the largest planet is a star where huge storms hit all year round.”
“Who taught you such astronomical knowledge?”
“It’s Yulgeum.”
“Is it him again!”
“I asked because I was curious.”
“How could you have lost so much sense? “When he was Metatron, he was always solemn and never wasted a single word.”
“You seem to be making it your pastime to argue with Deus-sama right now
.”
“All the angels are going crazy!” “Haha, that’s probably not the case.”
“Jupiter… That’s an interesting idea. You’re paranoid, so you’d like the biggest planet in the solar system. In that case, I should go with you. Now Nezar he is committing a serious crime. “It must be secured.”
“You’re going together?”
“Yes.”
“Well..
“You have no choice. “I will save you time in return
.”
Hamiel drew his sword and swung sharply. The space she cut widened.
A huge star was visible through the gap.
It was Jupiter, a planet full of ocher-red stripes.
