Episode 568
Quad Deuk.
Pieces of memory are torn apart and reassembled in the jaws of something.
…Maw?
I….
God….
God is the slayer.
A sword to kill God.
The referee’s successor.
It was a repetition of an obvious story.
He himself knows the secret of the One God.
I don’t know what he was thinking when he created them.
Baal continued his irreverent invitations.
[Just leave.]
I refused.
kicked out of space.
[Do not bother your brothers any more.]
He warned.
I was treated poorly several times.
[Someday.]
Someday, someday.
[The day will come when I accept it. I’m used to waiting.]
[….]
Baal was a tough being, as he had a history of surviving despite being abandoned by the One God.
[It is an unholy being. The One God must have recognized him and kicked him out to the Underworld.]
Ramiel criticized Baal’s behavior.
[However, he has no intention of leading a rebellion.]
Sariel, who had made up his mind with his power, was convinced.
[I’m embarrassed. Although it is said to be an ancestor created by the One God, its origin is ultimately a monster. If you keep leaving it in the heavens, the brothers will eventually become dissatisfied.]
Gabriel, who is in charge of protecting the heavens, said as if he was worried.
[If there is no justification, there is no choice but to make it.]
Raguel was the one who said that.
[Hoo. How?]
[We need to put pressure on our brothers.]
[I don’t know if Lucifer will accept it.]
[I agree. It seems like they meet often these days, right?]
[Battles between archangel brothers are prohibited… Baal’s presence must be special.]
[Michael. What do you think?]
The person who asked that question was Gabriel.
[….]
Michael faced six pairs of blue eyes focused on him.
Quad deuk.
It felt like I heard something disturbing somewhere in my head.
Oh, I see.
This was a time to discuss opinions to drive Baal out of heaven.
For some reason, it feels like my consciousness was cut off for a moment.
If you say that out loud, your brothers won’t feel good.
Michael opened his mouth calmly.
[I’ll tell you.]
[You?]
Gabriel tilted his head.
This is because he has never directly moved in relation to Baal.
Michael nodded.
[There’s nothing to wait for. I will go now.]
As I waved my hand, the celestial space split apart.
[It’s the power of space… the more I look at it, the more convenient it seems.]
[I think it’s more impressive that the brothers learned it on their own to improve the efficiency of judgment.]
[I’d rather have Michael perform the duties of the master…]
[Stop.]
Gabriel waved his hand and dispersed the divine power left behind by the authority.
[Let’s wait for Michael first.]
His eyes turned to Sky Castle, which boasts a noble appearance.
* * * [The archangels are agitated. We can no longer have people who are not Elyos here.]
[…I see. [The brothers managed to make you move too.]
As if he had anticipated the current situation, the master of the 1st Heaven reacted angrily.
so.
[What do you want to do? Are you going to ‘judge’ the brothers yourself this time?]
Grinning.
The corners of Lucifer’s mouth rose.
There was mischief in the blue eyes.
[….]
I’m asking.
A being created by the One God as the strongest sword.
The previous owner of the power ‘Judgment’.
Do you have the confidence to hunt Baal yourself?
The worries didn’t last long.
[Nothing can’t be done.]
[Hoo…?]
Lucifer smiled once, as if it was unexpected.
[….]
[I’m so sorry. I really didn’t expect you to come out like that.]
[Lucifer, brother of God. I hope you don’t forget that you are the master of heaven.]
[Indeed. Brother is fully qualified to say such things. However… no matter how brothers we are, dealing with Baal won’t be easy. The same applies even if you receive help from other brothers.]
[That means…]
[Yes.]
Baal, the Demon Dragon King.
[He is stronger than all of our archangels combined.]
[….]
[Do you understand now? We don’t have the option of kicking him out. Rather, we should just hope that he does not antagonize the heavenly world.]
The moment he is kicked out to the underworld, a peaceful future will no longer be possible.
He gave a warning by citing the case of previous merchants.
[Do we have to leave it like this?]
Lucifer shook his head.
[So it will be difficult to allay the complaints of the other brothers. Let’s make a justification.]
[Justification?]
[It’s simple. Let them be chosen by the divine beast.]
The divine beast of the 1st heaven world is special.
If the divine beast refuses to assimilate, all existence power will be taken away and it will become fertilizer.
On the other hand, if Shinsu accepts it, he will gain great divine power.
There is no way that a person who was rejected by the One God and exiled to the underworld could be chosen by the Divine Beast.
[Will Baal accept it?]
[I will tell you about that myself. How about compromising along this level?]
There can be no reason to refuse.
All six archangels agreed.
Baal also did not refuse.
On the contrary, he even seemed relaxed enough to welcome it, as if he had been waiting for the same situation.
surprisingly.
Shinsu did not reject Baal.
Rather, in addition to magical power and magical energy, it was imbued with the same divine power as an archangel.
This is not the divine power that I have been imitating.
A huge divine power symbolizing the 1st Heaven Elyos descended upon the area.
Baal called himself the ninth archangel, Metatron.
Unlike the other brothers who were shocked.
[The birth of a new brother.]
Lucifer smiled and shrugged.
Quad deuk.
Quad deuk.
A jarring sound rings in my ears.
What is God?
Time passes.
There is no justification.
Even Michael and the archangels had no choice.
That doesn’t mean I acknowledged him.
Sometimes he argued with Michael, sometimes he argued with Raphael, and sometimes he had a war of words with Uriel.
Sariel and Ramiel Raguel also pushed together.
Each time, Metatron teased them with a few words.
This is the 1,000 world created for the One God.
Why can’t those impure elements be punished?
Six archangels, excluding Lucifer, came to Michael and asked.
Baal, or Metatron, must be defeated.
There is no justification.
The false archangel Metatron must be overthrown.
There is no justification.
Every time a meeting was held, the conclusions reached were the same.
[Shinsu recognized him as an archangel. Since when did we create ranks among ‘brothers’?]
Michael quietly watched the war of words between the six archangels and Lucifer.
I had a hunch.
That Lucifer joined hands with Baal.
He was the only archangel to fall for the trick.
What is needed for punishment is waiting.
Just as Lucifer did to Baal.
We must be patient for a long time and wait for a justification to arise after the incident.
Michael sided with Lucifer and personally persuaded the brothers.
Minimum conditions were imposed.
To maintain order, they will not announce the birth of the ninth archangel to anyone except themselves.
If this fact becomes known to anyone else, throw away your divine power.
Baal accepted and lived quietly as before, going back and forth between the Upper World and the Lower World.
Michael often visited the realm of ‘Ra’ among the heavens, but all his eyes were on Lucifer.
A disturbing movement was detected centered around him.
The movements were cautious and secretive.
After long preparations, Lucifer caused a great incident.
We will advance outside, denying the One God.
[I will execute the One God.]
He declared.
There are millions of noble angels who follow him, hundreds of thousands of noble angels, tens of thousands of noble angels, hundreds of powerful angels, dozens of powerful angels.
To put it bluntly, it was an unprecedented rebellion in the history of heaven.
It was a power equivalent to 50% of the power of the 1000 world, and even the divine beast was handed over to him.
The other six archangels also looked visibly embarrassed by the larger-than-expected power.
This was a passage that showed how much Lucifer was a trusted master and how secretly he moved.
[Everyone raise your sword.]
Michael quietly gathered his strength.
If it was a temple to welcome the rebels, it had been prepared for a long time.
Lucifer is as arrogant as he is strong.
An altar dedicated to the one God.
There, while the army led by the six archangels was struggling to block it, Michael contacted the divine tree alone.
The power of space was used.
Only Michael, the divine beast who did not accept other archangels, obediently allowed the assimilation.
and.
The person I met within the Divine Tree.
[I was waiting, brother who is more insidious than anyone else.]
It was Metatron.
[How did you know?]
Michael asked.
I gave my power to Decameron so that I could cut him down at any time.
Metatron, watching this, burst out into a frivolous laugh.
[The power of ‘judgment’. It’s nice to see this.]
[What I want to hear is the answer to the question.]
[I was curious. When will I take off that mask?]
[….]
[Don’t pretend it’s not true. You and I are of the same kind.]
Same kind.
Michael fell silent at the unexpected words.
So much so that I can’t even laugh out loud.
[Bullshit.]
Tsuzuzu. Tsuzu.
The brilliance of Michael’s sword became darker.
[Hoo.]
Baal is a strong man recognized even by Lucifer.
Even if you are yourself, you cannot guarantee victory.
Maybe here today.
You may be defeated for the first time.
[To defeat this body and suppress the rebellion, you must ‘completely assimilate’ with the divine beast. That’s what you’re thinking, right?]
[….]
It’s as if my thoughts are obvious.
Metatron said so.
[However, that is impossible as long as Lucifer exists.]
That is not wrong.
Complete assimilation with the divine beast only applies to heavenly masters.
There is only one person in each heaven who is capable of complete assimilation.
[I will ask you one last question. Why are you here? There was no report that he participated in Lucifer’s rebellion?]
[Didn’t you promise? As a condition for this body to be recognized as an archangel, I will not interfere in any way with the affairs of the heavens.]
Of course, I promised.
If they violate it, the power of the eight archangels even imposes a restriction that their divine power will be confiscated.
Although it is a promise that is like an oath.
[I didn’t know you were sincere.]
[I don’t know why the evaluation of this body is so low. I haven’t done any harm to you archangels.]
That’s bullshit.
When you listen to that guy, it becomes difficult to think normally.
It is not for nothing that the Archangels who have achieved a lofty view of the world are excited.
[Metatron. No Baal. You talk too much.]
Annoyance was evident in Michael’s voice.
He has a goal to recapture Shinsu as soon as possible.
[If you don’t answer, you will just cut and pass by.]
This is the moment when Michael is about to touch the sword he had raised again.
[Just as Lucifer was waiting for you to move, this body was also waiting for you to move. Otherwise, I will simply ignore your suggestion.]
Suggestion.
When are you talking about?
[Just for that reason… you incited a rebellion…?]
[Stop making pretentious remarks, Michael. In reality, you would think differently, right?]
A being in the form of an archangel continued his bitter words.
[He says he is a being worthy of being the master of the first heaven. But why did the One God create someone as arrogant as Lucifer as his master? Don’t you think so? Didn’t you think so?]
[Isolation. The shallow nature doesn’t change.]
It bloomed with brilliance.
Although he has not yet achieved complete synchronization with the Divine Beast, if he pours out all of his power, he will be able to gain a little time.
That amount of time is enough to even synchronize.
As I understand it, Metatron’s power ‘domination’ does not completely work on archangels.
Skak-.
The Decameron cut off its wings of brilliance.
