Episode 596
596. Side Story Demon God (8)
Surprisingly, Maria cooperated with Baal.
She spoke to other Transcendents and allowed Baal to roam the universe. Although there were many restrictions and surveillance, Baal was able to roam the universe.
He roamed the universe with Lucifer.
Lucifer saw and enjoyed all kinds of things with Baal. I observed the vastness of the universe and the lives of humans living there.
“That’s fun.”
Lucifer, who returned to his residence, laughed happily. She had just seen a vast waterfall.
“Nature can be so beautiful. It was something that could not be felt in this dull world. And even in such nature, living things find their own way to live.”
Lucifer pounded on the bed. A very unstable bed barely made of woven grass. It was completely different from the accommodation outside.
“Will we one day be able to achieve the same progress as them?”
[It will be possible if you succeed and time passes.] If
time passes to accumulate knowledge, pass it on to future generations, acquire technology, and commemorate history.
Demons will also be able to build a shining civilization like humans.
[What do you think it will be like?]
“Well, it will probably fail.”
Lucifer said calmly. Baal laughed.
[You knew it well.]
“I don’t fail. “But there is no way to stop the saboteurs.”
The village head’s wish is definitely possible.
Lucifer can become a transcendent by receiving the promise of the demons’ faith.
But the process was problematic.
What the village head wants to achieve is a contract between all demons.
There was no way the ancient gods could not notice such a huge impact.
Both Lucifer and Baal knew that fact perfectly. Only the demons who were blinded by the miracle did not know.
[Why didn’t you reject it?]
“I’m not in a state to listen anyway.”
The village head was blinded by the miracle. Even if Lucifer told you about the impossible, you wouldn’t listen. I will just cry out for hope and act with determination.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have the power to trample on him.”
Lucifer shrugged his shoulders. Although it was possible to defeat an immortal with technology, it was overwhelmingly lacking in power. If she fought with all her might, she would have lost.
“And I wouldn’t do it even if I could.”
[Why?]
“What they need is hope from me. Trapped here, unable to accomplish anything, just grow old and die. “Do you think there is any value in life there?”
[If you survive, isn’t that okay?]
“No.”
Black eyes turn to Baal. It was a clear, unwavering gaze.
“That’s not enough. We need possibilities. Even if the end is destruction.”
[That’s cruel.]
“You shouldn’t say things like that. “You’re the one who gave me hope, right?”
Baal smiled quietly.
[Did you know that too?]
“How foolish are you treating me?”
Lucifer grumbled.
“You brought outside knowledge here.”
The village head, who lived confined in this small miniature garden, knew about the outside world.
Who originally belonged to the Demon World and who rules the outside world?
And what is needed to become a transcendent.
And human trafficking, robbery, cooking, etc. Even small knowledge.
It was knowledge that could never be obtained here.
In other words, it was one.
The only outside entity that enters and exits this place.
Baal had personally delivered the knowledge.
“You are twisted. “Unlike other ancient gods, they don’t think of us as mere toys.”
If you want to see them living and dying here, there is no need to pass on outside knowledge. Even if they wanted to see their own revolution and destruction, there was no reason to use such a troublesome method.
“They are putting in a lot of effort and effort to do something despite the inconvenience to us. I don’t know what that is. “What do you want from us?”
[Well,]
Baal said softly.
[I don’t know.]
And a few days later.
“Savior.”
The village head said with an excited face.
“Everything is ready.”
* * *
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
A strange power flows through Lucifer’s abode.
It’s a kind of contract.
A curse centered around Lucifer.
Outside, all the demons in the village were praying toward this underground area.
“The end is coming now.”
Lucifer muttered absentmindedly. A strange force began to flow throughout her body.
“it was fun. Baal. “As promised, I will save you.”
[Thank you very much for that.]
Baal chuckled. Lucifer was always confident. I was confident and fearless.
It was very fascinating.
Baal looked at Lucifer for a moment and then opened his mouth.
[You will die.]
The village chief’s plan fails.
Baal is confident. You can never succeed.
They will all die and be torn apart and forgotten. It is a foregone conclusion.
but.
[How about running away with me?]
“Huh?”
Lucifer looked at Baal in surprise.
Baal was equally surprised. It was something I said impulsively.
But I had no intention of stopping.
[I can hide you and run away.]
Lucifer is the vessel of the transcendent. But it is still just a vessel. Baal’s power was enough to hide it.
[I can take you with me and send you to space. There you will find freedom. You will learn even more.]
The wind outside.
The warmth of sunlight.
Human warmth.
The possibilities she can reach.
The universe is wide. What she saw while traveling with Baal was only a very small glimpse.
[The ending was planned anyway. You too, get out of there. What would it be like to enjoy freedom?]
Lucifer looked at Baal with a strange expression after hearing his calm words.
“…That’s unexpected. thank you. But I don’t need it.”
Lucifer stands up.
He stood on a rough bed and spoke as if he was shouting to the world.
“I will get it on my own.”
She was shining.
It was so bright that it was blinding.
“And why do you think you’ll lose?”
Lucifer grins.
“I will reach great heights. I will trample on you and stand on your head. “I’ll see you then.”
“Oooooh!”
A shout rings out from outside. The demons cry out for prayer and kneel down. The village head cries out, blood rising in his neck.
“Demon vessel! A miracle that will save us!”
He hits his head on the ground. The earth shakes.
“please! Take us and bring us salvation!”
Kiiiiing!
The device deployed in the model garden operates.
It is a curse on the species called demons.
An eternal imprint that will be engraved on them.
All demons with complete intelligence in existence wish for faith. It is promised even to future faith.
Kiiiiiiiing!
It is a contract for the entire demon race.
The target is all demons that exist in the demon world.
The aftermath does not end with this small miniature garden. The barrier spread by Baal is broken. It spreads throughout the demon world.
And God God’s minions and demons noticed.
What are the demons doing on the outskirts of the demon world?
* * *
[It’s coming.]
Baal muttered. God God’s minions and several demons were running towards his miniature garden at high speed.
Before long they were in Baal’s sight.
When they saw Baal, they stopped in amazement.
[Baal.]
[Belial.]
[You have already arrived. After all, it is Baal. By the way… I never thought he would be hiding in a place like this.]
Belial looks at the miniature garden.
small town. Demons were living there.
[These rats.]
Belial bares his teeth.
[I was hiding in a place like this. I didn’t know how they were hiding, but it was good. It will be a fun time.]
Belial mutters in an excited tone. And then two huge beings approach them.
Coooooo!
A black, twisted, distorted being.
They bow respectfully to Baal.
[hello. Great devil.]
[It’s been a while.]
He was very polite, but there was a line.
They are the direct apostles of the Demon God. It was a kind of agent created by removing a part of himself. It was a being with a position and power that even Baal could not carelessly touch with the left and right hand of the demon god.
[Dirty rats were doing something trivial.]
[That’s right.]
[How did they hide? It seems like there was some sort of barrier in place. I think I can feel Baal’s energy there…]
[It’s an illusion. Agent.]
Baal spoke lazily. The agent looked at Baal blankly and then lowered his head.
[Baal. Please move out of the way. We need to clean up the mess.]
The agent’s energy became sharper.
[It is very dangerous for those lowly things to do now.]
The aftereffects were spreading throughout the Demon World. All demons were the target.
A curse and imprint on the species itself. Even the agent could not easily predict the level of power gathered from that.
Although it is close to impossible, it must be rooted out. The demons agreed.
[Hmm.]
Baal was worried.
If he stays out of the way, the deputies will trample on the village.
I will kill all the praying demons and find Lucifer.
And it will pierce Lucifer’s heart.
The vessel of the transcendental is very dangerous. It will be defiled and violated. It will completely trample on their body and soul, making it impossible for them to even find their original form.
The matter and spirit that made up Lucifer in this universe. Nothing will be left behind.
‘I don’t really want to see you.’
Baal felt a strong sense of discomfort.
As he stood silently, the deputy spoke.
[Or do you plan to organize it yourself, Baal?]
[What should I do?]
[If Baal doesn’t have any ideas, I will do it!]
Belial grins and throws himself away. He is trying to pass by Baal and enter the village.
And that moment. The darkness moves.
Quad deuk!
[Whoops!]
The darkness tramples Belial and pins him to the ground. The demons are scared and distance themselves.
[Baal?]
[Hmm.]
But as much as they were embarrassed, Baal was also embarrassed by his own actions.
