Episode 597
597. Side Story Demon God (9)
Baal lifted the darkness that had trampled on Belial. Belial made a squeak and hurriedly widened the distance.
[Why!]
[Well. Why did I do that?]
Baal himself didn’t know. My body moved faster than I thought.
[…What are you doing now?]
The agents are also confused.
[Now… are you trying to protect them?]
[No. That’s not true.]
My body moved earlier than I thought.
[Then why did you subdue Belial?]
[That…]
Baal couldn’t answer either.
And Baal realized.
He wasn’t trying to protect the demons.
It was to protect Lucifer.
‘does not make sense.’
Baal let out a laugh without realizing it. They will never forgive Lucifer. As long as Lucifer was a being of the universe and they were ancient gods, it was a truth that could never be changed.
In other words, protecting Lucifer meant having to truly confront them.
If you look at it objectively, there was no reason to worry.
These are beings born from the same essence.
They were colleagues who had been together since before the creation of the universe and would remain together forever. I had countless conversations with them and exchanged many emotions.
On the other hand, Lucifer is a mortal child who has been around for only a month.
It was a being from a universe whose essence was different from his own.
After all, he is immutable. exists forever. However, the existence of the universe will someday disappear.
His colleagues who will be with him forever.
A small child whom I met less than a month ago.
Which way should the scale tilt?
It was so obvious.
[Ha.]
Baal laughed.
[I’m sorry.]
Baal said his apology.
[It was my mistake.]
[…If you say so.]
The agents say they are relieved. Belial approaches cautiously.
[O Baal. Then give me a chance…]
Baal nodded. Belial, who accepted this as a positive sign, became angry. He tried to pass by Baal at high speed.
And at that moment the darkness moved again.
Quad deuk!
[Kahuhuhuhhh!]
[What!]
[Baal!]
The agents and demons are terrified. The darkness of Baal was different from before. It contained a strong murderous intention to trample everything in Belial and destroy its status.
[Comparing the value of something like this. I’m sorry.]
Baal mutters. Belial’s status slowly begins to crumble.
[This!]
Agents unleash their power. A strong clash of forces occurs and Belial is released.
[omg! [Gasp!]
Belial, who managed to break free, lets out a groan and retreats.
[What a pity.]
Baal clicks his tongue. He mutters as if he is truly regretful.
[I thought I could erase at least one.]
[…Baal. What on earth is this?]
Just now, Baal truly tried to destroy Belial.
He tried to kill his constant companion who had been with him since birth. The meaning was clear.
[Are you choosing those shallow things over us?]
[You are so boring.]
Baal said lazily. A look of boredom was evident in those eyes.
[It’s boring and boring. Just being together makes me nauseous. I think this would be more fun than being with you.]
[Are you just abandoning us and choosing such a tiny mortal? Foolish!]
[No. It is the opposite.]
Baal raises his finger and points to the demons.
[You are not even worth that much.]
Lucifer’s value was not high to Baal.
It was just that the value of the ancient gods and demons was too low.
[The emotions I felt toward you were boredom, boredom, and discomfort. That was it. I have never felt pleasure or pleasure even once.]
Ancient gods and demons are immortal.
they don’t change Not only their power, but also their ideology.
It was so terrible to Baal.
[What.]
The agent couldn’t understand.
[We are unchanging. We are alone! It doesn’t change like those insignificant things!]
[You place value on it. Maybe that’s the difference between you and me.]
Baal looks at the agent with emotionless eyes.
[The thing you and I have in common is that we were just born that way. There is only one.]
Other than that, everything was different.
[I am rather close to this side.]
If you ask me, you are a heretic of Gosin. That would be Baal. Baal chuckled and displayed his power. Darkness spreads and covers the area.
[Just give it a try. You unchanging scum.]
* * *
[Baal…]
The agents groan. Baal’s resolve was sincere. They were really trying to protect the village from the demons.
Then he too must do his part.
The deputies’ eyes sank.
[Baal betrayed us.]
He is a traitor to God.
[What are you going to do?]
The demons flinch and tremble at the cold words. Baal is the king of demons. He was like their master.
But the worries did not last long.
[Damn it.]
[Baal. Why?]
They secretly stick to the agent’s side. Baal’s expression did not change, as if he was not surprised by that sight.
Only one demon quietly widened the distance.
[Biffrons.]
[Sorry. Agent. I… cannot be hostile towards Baal.]
[Hmph. As you wish. You will have to bear the punishment yourself.]
The agent said coldly.
Baal. And the agents of the demon god and the devil. Cracks occur.
Baal leisurely spread his arms.
[ruler. Come.]
And the power of Baal erupts.
Deep, dense darkness swallows all things. All kinds of evil and demonic energy overflow and shake the place.
Demons take their breath away. It was a power and stature that made them look like insects.
Baal is the great devil.
King of all demons. A being born that way in the beginning.
Its power rivals that of a demon god.
[You guys don’t think you can beat me, do you?]
[I don’t think you can beat me. But… I think it will be enough to subdue you for a while and achieve my goal.]
The agents raise their hands. Speak softly as if praying.
[My master. Please give me a part of you.]
The two of them are the left and right arms of the demon god.
It is a part of the demon god.
The level of a demon god descends on the agents. In an instant, its power and status amplify. Enough to be able to confront Baal.
[Please forgive my rudeness.]
[There is no need for that. Now you and I are enemies.]
Agents manifest power.
And then darkness comes.
It is a set of Mara itself. A concept that did not exist in the universe in the true sense, rather than being a demon that was modified by a demon god as it is now.
That pure power rushes towards Baal.
Baal displays his power with laughter.
Darkness collides with darkness. The concepts of great devils and demon gods are similar. If so, it will be divided depending on which side is more superior.
No matter how much they are given the power of a demon god, they are not demon gods. The power of Baal slowly advances through the power of the agents.
[Tsk.]
The deputies click their tongues and start throwing their bodies.
Baal stamps his feet. The demon world collapses. In an instant, the earth breaks into cubes, and each one becomes a part of the force and pours towards the agents.
It’s an evil meteor. It had the power to pierce even a single planet if it directly hit it.
No matter how desperately the agents tried to block and avoid it, it was bound to break through at some point.
[Demons.]
[Damn it.]
[What the hell is going on!]
The demons grit their teeth and throw themselves away. They use their bodies to block Baal’s power from crashing into the agents.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
[Kahahahah!]
[Kahahah!]
A painful scream erupts, but it does not disappear.
Thanks to their shield, the agents quickly attacked Baal.
[Troublesome things.]
Baal clicks his tongue. The agents were now using the demons as meat shields.
They are immutable.
The concept of death does not exist.
Of course, Baal was born in the same place as them. He was able to completely destroy the demons.
But to do that, he had to put in a lot of effort and effort.
There was no time to extinguish the demons while dealing with the agents.
‘but.’
There is no reason to be pushed back. Baal waves his hand leisurely.
A space engulfed in darkness begins to cover the Demon World. It is Baal’s intermediate black magic. A rush of pitch black space. It was a black magic that Taesan also used.
But it was a completely different level of black magic.
The concepts and laws of things and everything that existed before the universe begin to become distorted and collapse. Space itself becomes Baal’s domain.
[Oops!]
The deputies are scared and start running away. In an instant, the entire area is covered.
Kugugugung…
Baal’s power is slowly fading away. Baal laughs.
[It must be urgent.]
The power and prestige felt in the village was becoming stronger. Curses on the entire demon race began to come true one by one.
‘shit.’
The agent grinds his teeth.
You can withstand Baal, but you cannot break through it. This is how the battle was meaningless.
Googoo googung!
After that, there were still confrontations, but nothing changed. The agents could barely hold out, using the demons as shields.
We have to find some way. What should I do? Thinking quickly, the deputy realized something strange.
If Baal had put his mind to it, he could have destroyed at least five demons.
But all the demons just wriggled around and did not disappear.
Baal was not watching.
After taking a closer look, the agent realized something.
The fact that Baal has left the village behind and is not taking a single step.
‘no way.’
The agent folded his hands together and spread them out, just in case.
And thousands of hands pour in from all directions.
The target of the attack was not Baal.
It was a village behind Baal. If one of those hands touches it, the entire village will be swept away.
Baal’s expression changed. He clicked his tongue and wrenched his hands.
Kiiiiing!
A veil of darkness surrounds the village. As it is, the hand is blocked.
[Ha ha ha ha ha!]
When his prediction came true, the agent burst into laughter.
[O Baal! You are really trying to protect those weak things!]
If you think about it, it was only natural. The reason Baal opposed them was to protect the village.
But the reason why my thoughts did not reach there right away was simple.
They are alone and unchanging beings. Don’t care about anyone other than yourself. Of course, the concept of protecting someone did not exist.
It was nothing short of a symbol of weakness in the existence of the universe. Baal said bluntly.
[Then what have you seen so far?]
[No! It’s just outrageous! A great being like you is obsessed with something so weak!]
The agent reveals this.
[Then please perish along with that small village!]
The power explodes. After that, things changed a lot. From the beginning, the agents’ priority was to trample on the village rather than defeat Baal.
However, that alone placed a significant limit on Baal’s power.
They are immutable. The power was also not consumed, but there was a limit to the power that could be used at once.
Protecting someone was something Baal was not used to, so it took too much strength. He was currently spending half his strength protecting the village.
The opponent is also an agent who has received a direct punishment from the demon god. It is not a weak enemy.
The balance is broken.
Kwaaaaang!
Baal even used his own body to protect the village. Slowly but surely, Baal’s essence was being tainted by the status of a demon god.
[This is a new feeling again. I have a feeling that I am being transformed.]
Baal muttered cheerfully. The agent gathered his strength and made a generous offer.
[O Baal. Please come back now. I will speak well to the Demon God.]
[Why would Baal use his power on such insignificant things?]
[You still say that.]
Baal shook off his arms. The deterioration flowed to the floor.
[Conversation with you has no meaning. It was the same before and it is the same now.]
We cannot understand each other in the first place. It was just that difference.
The agent realized that Baal had no intention of bending.
[If that’s true.]
My strength explodes.
The agents stalked the village like snakes, and Baal had to allow considerable openings to stop him. His essence is slowly defiled.
But the agents’ expressions become increasingly hard.
[They seem to be a bit impatient.]
The agents’ movements become more urgent. They also knew that the device had reached its end. There was no more time to be tied to Baal.
Baal laughed.
[If you are going there, trample on me and destroy me.]
[…Baal!]
The agents rush in, gnashing their teeth.
He is dyed.
‘This is dangerous.’
The word extinction approaches slowly.
Baal glances back.
The device was slowly being completed and was now covering the entire Demon World.
‘I wonder if I can endure it.’
It was ambiguous. Perhaps even after the device was completed, he could have disappeared before then.
But I thought that wasn’t that bad either.
It was a life without any meaning to begin with.
It has never changed or caused any change.
He was a being that could not be said to be alive.
In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to become a tool to complete Lucifer.
[Come.]
Baal spreads his arms.
[Let’s see the end.]
The agents rush in. The power to annihilate him. The moment when Baal bursts in with power to block him.
He appears.
“Is this what happened?”
[Huh?]
[Huh?]
A man with black hair appears between the agent and Baal.
There were no signs or waves.
It literally appeared out of nowhere.
Gray light exploded in confusion.
