Episode 598
598. Side Story Demon God (10)
[Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc!]
[ elementrae!]
Baal, demons, and agents are all pushed far away. The fierce battle suddenly lulls.
The gray subsides and his figure becomes visible.
A man with black hair who can’t feel anything.
[…Kang Taesan.]
Baal mutters softly.
[Come to think of it.]
Kang Taesan disappeared at some point.
But Baal did not recognize that fact. It felt like there was a hole in my memory.
‘what.’
He existed before the creation of the world. The concept of forgetting does not exist. I remembered everything I had seen and felt from before the beginning until now.
But he had completely forgotten about Taesan.
Taesan nods at Baal.
“Go, it will be over soon.”
[Who are you…?]
“As I said before, you are a traveler.”
Taesan said lazily.
“If I had to add, I would be a traveler who is friendly to you. “Go.”
Kang Taesan raised his finger and pointed to the village. Within it, the concept was gradually condensed to form a shape.
“Don’t you want to watch the last part with your own eyes?”
[…That’s right.]
Baal laughed.
[Then thank you. Please.]
Baal turned around. The devil and his agents were still there and they were strong. So much so that even the great Baal himself cannot easily guarantee victory.
But I no longer had any worries.
Baal entered the village. Taesan stood in Baal’s place.
“Is this what happened?”
Baal would have stopped the agents and demons.
It was probably on the verge of extinction.
And when it was really about to reach the end, a demon god would have been born.
And the demon god must have saved Baal and organized them.
I watched everything that needed to be watched.
In that case, from now on he can move as he pleases.
[…you.]
Agents are on guard against Taishan.
gentile.
I don’t feel anything.
Even though it was clearly in front of you, if you blocked your physical view, you wouldn’t even know it existed.
Perfect radish.
The deputies swallow.
The gray color that excluded them was beyond understanding. It wasn’t the universe’s or theirs.
It’s not a high school.
However, he is not a transcendental person either.
Dangerous dysentery.
[…I don’t know who you are, but please move out of the way.]
The agent said politely.
[It’s our job, so please don’t interfere.]
“What if you don’t like it?”
Taesan smiled.
“I have no intention of getting out of the way. Either you go away Or get out of the way. “Choose one of the two.”
[You rat!]
Belial, who belatedly came to his senses, rushed at him. The level of the devil cannot reach the transcendent. The essence of Taishan’s power was not properly understood.
And Belial had to pay the price.
Kugugoogung!
In the darkness, Belial’s black magic explodes. It roughly surrounds Belial’s body.
It is the power of Belial.
A great power that becomes a beast made of demonic energy and tramples and crushes all things. It was his proud power that destroyed countless planets.
The beast of Belial comes within a stone’s throw of Mount Tai.
And Taesan lightly waves his finger.
Quad deud deuk!
[Whoa whoa!]
The beast of Belial bursts like a balloon. The body is instantly trampled and thrown to the ground.
“I have a strange relationship with you.”
Taesan muttered. He forcibly usurped Belial’s territory and became a devil.
“This is also a strange relationship, so at least I will let you go without pain.”
Crack.
That was the end of it.
Belial is dead.
[Huh?]
[Ah.]
The devil is dead.
Its existence disappeared and was completely erased.
In an instant, fear spread through them. The demons screamed and tried to run away, but even that was impossible.
“I can’t go.”
[You have activated the declaration of barrier.]
Kiiing!
A huge curtain surrounds them. The demons are scared and pound on the tent, but it is as motionless as concrete.
[…It means to go to the end.]
The agents drag out their lives. They cry out to their master high in the sky.
[My master! Your power! Your rank! Please come down to defeat your enemies!]
Prayer to the devil.
It reaches a being far away. The power and stature of the great demon god itself had to descend upon them.
But nothing happens.
A strange silence flows. The agents are confused.
[Huh?]
[Demon God?]
“If you’re going to come down, come down.”
Taesan speaks calmly.
“Even if it’s a fake from a parallel world, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to kill it here.”
[Demon God! Demon God!]
The agents cry out, but nothing happens. The demon god completely blocked the connection with them. Like a coward.
“Rat.”
Taesan laughed.
“A bastard who is just strong but has neither the qualifications nor the will to live up to that rank. Even in this false world, you are nothing but trash.”
Despite the naked contempt, the demon did not move. Taesan was no longer interested. Deputies fumbled.
[Uh ah.]
“Then you die.”
Taesan holds up Bardray.
* * *
Baal walked slowly through the village.
There were the bodies of demons whose souls had escaped.
Their souls will now reside in the species called demons forever.
As a curse for worshiping Lucifer, it will be torn to pieces and left to the demons.
[I will remember you.]
With those short words, Baal continued to move forward and the village leader’s body was also there.
He had a very satisfied face.
[Your wish has come true. You will be satisfied.]
And Baal went down to the basement.
Lucifer was there.
She was floating in the air and made up of a concept. Its status and power began to reach a high level.
Originally, I would not have been able to endure it and my body and mind would have collapsed.
But she is a vessel of transcendence.
Demons keep their own beliefs within themselves.
It is a promised place of faith.
Although he is a god of faith, it would be safe to say that he is a transcendental person. There is a species called demons, and unless the curse on the demons is lifted, she will be a demon god.
Baal sat down.
[Then you said to me,]
‘You are twisted. Unlike other ancient gods, they don’t think of us as mere toys. They’re putting in a lot of effort and effort to do something for us, despite the hassle. I don’t know what that is. ‘What do you want from us?’
Baal couldn’t answer then, but he could now.
[I am jealous of you.]
They are unchanging.
doesn’t change
It has never changed since before the universe was born.
The ancient gods were proud of it, but Baal was not. It can’t change forever. It was too horrible for him.
doesn’t change
So then what does it exist for?
What will he leave behind in this world and what changes can he bring about?
Nothing is impossible.
In contrast, beings in the universe change.
We gain strength, reach a higher level, grow old, die, and our souls disperse.
I was very envious of all of that.
[I was jealous and fascinated.]
I wanted to see their changes. I wanted to at least get vicarious satisfaction. That was the reason why I created a small model garden with the demons.
Still, it was just a way to kill time. I wasn’t really into it. After all, they are they and Baal is Baal.
But Lucifer was different.
At least to Baal, Lucifer was not just another person.
He fell in love with the being of Lucifer and its possibilities.
[Even if he becomes a transcendent, there will still be many problems.]
If Lucifer becomes a demon, he must liberate the demon world.
In other words, it meant that they had to directly confront the current demon god.
Lucifer was strong, but had many shortcomings. As he was a created god, his use of power would be insufficient and his knowledge was also very low.
Then Baal can help with that part.
The use of knowledge and power as a transcendent.
And about other transcendents of the universe.
I planned to tell Baal everything he knew.
[Is this the role humans call a godfather?]
I thought that role would be quite interesting.
Kiiiiing!
The power and power that had been shaking as if running wild slowly began to stabilize.
The demon is contained in a vessel called Lucifer.
Lucifer opens his eyes.
And the world ends.
Taesan is back.
Back to the original world.
[Are you here?]
The demon god was next to Taesan, as if he had been waiting.
[Did you see everything?]
“I may not have seen everything, but I saw what you wanted.”
[okay? How was it?]
“It was fascinating.”
Lucifer was, in a pure sense, a god created for the demons.
As long as the existence of demons does not disappear, she will exist as a demon goddess. It was a god of faith, but it was also a god of concepts.
[Other than that?]
Black eyes turn to Taesan. Inside was a light that longed for something.
[I am a god created for demons.]
The demons’ faith in Lucifer is not natural. It was obtained by force through a curse. It was no different from brainwashing.
[If I knew this, it wouldn’t be surprising if the demons resented me.]
From the moment I was born, I was forced to have faith in someone and even sacrifice my life for that existence.
That was definitely the cruel truth.
“But you tried to become a demon.”
In a way, she was also a victim. Just because he was the vessel of the transcendent, he received the faith of the demons and was forced to play the role of protecting them.
Above all, the demon god had a choice. He could have accepted Baal’s advice and run away alone to live his own life.
But she didn’t.
He became a god for the demons and for their freedom.
And she faithfully fulfilled her role as a demon goddess.
He cherished and protected the demons as if they were his own children.
“You are a demon.”
Even if it was created, the demon god was still a demon god.
Taesan bowed politely.
“I will respect and honor you. drank. “Lucifer.”
[…Okay.]
The Demon God speaks softly. There was a somewhat relieved face.
[Thank you.]
“Did you get the answer you were hoping for?”
[that’s enough. great job. Taesan.]
The Demon God grinned.
[There are many other things I want to say. There is still plenty of time.]
Let’s take our time and think about it. The Demon God muttered softly.
[Because we will continue to be together now.]
“Well. “I guess so.”
Both he and Lucifer are free from the bonds of life. We will continue our close relationship forever.
[Let’s have tea later.]
“If that’s what you want.”
The business is over. It was when Taesan was about to leave quietly.
[ah. That’s right.]
The demon god opened his mouth. Taesan frowned at her continued words.
* * *
Taishan returned to Earth.
[You’re here.]
“Were you waiting too?”
[I, like the child, am curious about your opinion.]
Baal was sitting on a rock.
[So how was it?]
“It was somewhat expected. Still, it was a bit surprising to see it in person.”
Taesan looked at Baal.
“Lucifer was a child to you.”
Not only do we share blood, but even our fundamental differences are different. Lucifer and Baal are hostile beings who cannot coexist.
However, the two had a stronger relationship than anyone else.
Baal allowed his feelings only to Lucifer.
[A child.]
Baal muttered.
[We are unique beings. There are people of the same race, but there is no affection between them. There is no sense of belonging to family. My people praised themselves for it, calling it perfect.]
“But you weren’t.”
Baal hated that perfection.
I hated constancy and thirsted for change.
That’s why he was fascinated by Lucifer.
[Because they are children. That’s not wrong.]
Baal muttered. After being silent for a moment, he asked Taesan.
[I guess I am a traitor who will never be forgiven by the ancient gods. In a way, I am a traitor who betrayed my people.]
“I do not deny it.”
Taesan looked at Baal.
“But you must be satisfied.”
[Satisfies. I’ve never regretted it.]
“That’s enough. Other people’s criticism and criticism mean nothing to you, right? “Because you are a nobleman.”
Baal laughed.
[okay. I am a god.]
An immutable being.
Others can give him no meaning, value, or change. Because he is alone and unchanging.
Lucifer was the only exception.
[what. I had fun too. I need to relax and spend time with that child again.]
“I’m glad.”
[I am relaxed in the future. But you seem to be busier than you think.]
“I see.”
The Demon God spoke to Taesan before leaving.
[The Transcendents will find you. Taesan. For very personal reasons.]
