Part 2 Episode 86
The Forest of the Fairy King.
Taehyun, who was sitting cross-legged in the huge forest that Elven had created around the body of the divine beast, opened his eyes.
After returning from the Lucifer battle, he was in the process of recovering his body through the energy of the divine beast.
“I never thought I would use the power of the divine beast like this. “The application ability exceeds expectations?”
[joy. Leave out compliments like If Bonyo puts his mind to it, it is not impossible to turn the entire underworld into a forest.]
“Ah, is that so?”
[Looking at your smiling face, does it seem like it’s worth living now?]
“Thanks. “I think I’ve recovered to about 50%.”
[If you behave so ignorantly, you won’t be able to live up to your name.]
“I’ll keep this in mind.”
[Tsk tsk. There is no sign of reference at all.]
With those words, the Elven’s voice disappeared.
He left to look elsewhere.
[Hehehe. [You are still a foul-mouthed brother.]
Typhon, who was lying down in front of Taehyeon, said this.
“What, weren’t you sleeping?”
[I’ve already had enough of hibernation, brother.]
“Hmm… hibernation… It’s definitely a bit different from the Typhon I knew.”
[Do you feel a sense of distance? There’s nothing to worry about. The Giant King who made memories with you is the real person.]
“Well… I guess that’s true.”
Taehyun sighed as Typhon looked very different from his memories.
It’s been a month since I entered the forest and started recovering after the Lucifer battle.
I bluffed that I would get to Igmun soon, but the aftereffects of using the avatar mode were significant.
Taehyun wasn’t the only one in bad condition.
A giant king who has been dead for a long time and whose body is in ruins.
A demon king who is mentally and physically weakened.
A succubus queen who has exhausted a considerable amount of energy.
A fallen angel just before being destroyed by the demon king’s fire.
Except for the Elven, everyone was injured.
Fortunately, Elven assimilated with a divine beast can handle not only magical power but also divine power, so the recovery speed is not bad.
Taehyun was talking about timelines with Typhon while he was recovering.
“So how much did we talk about?”
[This is the moment when the yoma overlapped the timeline. It was the time when I prophesied that I would meet my brother.]
“Oh, that was it.”
Taehyun recalled a memory that Typhon had told him about.
‘If we were to infer from his memories….’
The first moment they met can be seen as when he was traveling through time with the power of the zodiac.
Taehyun is confident that he knows more about the Demon King’s personality and abilities than anyone else.
I was so surprised when I heard that he had completed his regression and failed to become a high-level constellation.
If I had been able to put into words what I experienced in regression, I would have tried somehow to hear the reason.
And now.
Taehyun found out the reason only when it was his turn.
The problem is that it is difficult to clearly understand the intention.
Was Typhon, who was the King of the Upper World, spared in order to make Taehyeon go against fate in the past, or was it to influence him only now, in his second return?
‘I can’t go and ask… The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.’
It is indeed the actions of a man worthy of the nickname of defying fate.
This is when Taehyun is shaking his head at the Demon King’s past actions.
[There’s no need to have too much of a headache. From the looks of it, I don’t think I’ll come up with an answer even if I think about it.]
‘What a rational Typhon. ‘This one isn’t easy either.’
Taehyun chuckled at the sight of Typhon seemingly reading his thoughts.
The Demon Beast King who came in as the youngest and is watching the others. A rational giant king who beats up such a demonic beast king.
These are all unfamiliar sights, but you will have to get used to them quickly.
The memories of the turf war and clan war with Taehyun were omitted.
“Dragon… So, the reason Baal resurrected you was probably to covet your power of existence.”
He also experienced a return to the power of the zodiac.
Since he became a high-level constellation shortly after, I can only guess that he must have accumulated many possibilities other than Typhon.
[Yoma also said something similar. It is said that the reason the main body was kept alive was because it might produce a new constellation like a brother. Does the status of those involved rise just because of the birth of a constellation?]
Taehyeon shook his head in response to Typhon’s question.
“Not really. “The three thousand worlds are not such a high-class universe.”
The ‘magical power’ that the Demon King implanted in Taehyun and the ‘sacred power’ that the dragon implanted in Typhon are completely different energies.
It is also not clear whether it is a time when Taehyun, who encountered the Demon King, returned to the power of the zodiac or to the power of reincarnation given by the One God.
What we can be sure of is that the more constellations are emitted from a universe, the higher the status of that universe becomes.
‘Well, there seems to be a limit to the level of microcosm increasing, but… I don’t know what the dragon and the demon king are thinking.’
The longer I think about it, the more my mind becomes confused with various possibilities.
[What do you plan to do next, brother?]
Typhon asked in a sad voice.
At best, he reached a timeline that captured both the feelings of solitude and play.
However, according to Taehyeon, he had just learned that all the values he had endured until now could collapse with the mere appearance of a being called a constellation.
[I should tell you in advance that the main body does not wish to disappear any further.]
It is extremely rare to be able to wake up with your memories and powers intact like now.
A finished product created through ridiculously low odds.
Typhon was expressing himself like this.
“What kind of guy wants to die? Rather, it’s strange that a guy like you died out of boredom.”
[So?]
“Originally, we were going to finish the turf war first, but… it looks like we’ll have to change the plan quite a bit.”
In Taehyeon’s plan, the emergence of divine magic had to occur only after the turf war.
This is because in the past, it was a power obtained through a tribal war.
However, Lucifer and Typhon are fully capable of handling divine magic, and the Elven is also showing signs of quickly adapting to divine magic.
In this situation, there was no need to take the same steps as before.
“Get as many guys outside as possible.”
[Hoo. That means…]
“Territory war and tribal war. “I plan to make it into a constellation, regardless of whether it is a monster from the lower world or an angel from the upper world.”
[That sounds sweet. It was possible, right?]
“Of course.”
Taehyun confidently affirmed.
I discovered new possibilities that I had not been able to understand before, including fairies and spirits.
If we combine the possibilities of all timelines, we will be able to push their status to the limit.
Only then will we know how many of them will be able to go outside…
[But what is this tower? It has never existed in my memory.]
“I agree. Due to the twisted timeline, it seems like the Tower’s potential has increased to its limit… I guess I’ll have to meet Tolkien to find out more details. “Maybe it’s not a coincidence that the timeline got twisted.”
[I see.]
“Don’t tell Rosaria and the Elven what we just talked about. “Because there may be variables that we are missing.”
[Do you really think that you can’t even think that way?]
“If it was the original Typhon… it would have been
like that…” [Hmm… I don’t mind the others, but it would be difficult if even Rosaria thought that way.]
It is a time when Typhon is struggling with how to change his image, which is more serious than he thought.
Slurp.
A mature woman appeared between them.
It was an Elven transcendent body.
[contractor. The movements of the demons are unusual.]
“Demons? “Except for Beelzebub and Diablo, there is no demon king level.”
The ancient great devils are no longer a match for them who have regained their power beyond that of the Archduke.
It would be the same for Elven.
[It’s not wrong, but… it would be quicker to see it in person.]
As the Elven gestured, a screen made of magical power appeared before my eyes.
I could see the movements of various monsters from various angles, as if I was seeing them through someone else’s eyes.
Among them, the one she chose to enlarge the screen was the image of the demon world.
‘Is it now possible to look into the demon world?’
[The contractor shared the vision of Asura, whom he defeated.]
“Asura?”
[You probably didn’t think that guy would just stay in the fairy village.]
Taehyun subdued Asura, but did not particularly restrict his actions.
This is because we know that the more we try to limit a being of that level, the more its power of existence will be damaged.
As Beelzebub did, release it into the underworld to give it a new goal of struggle.
That was the best option to gain loyalty while maintaining the status of a surrendered Asura.
But I never thought he would return to the demon world.
[Apparently, they are preparing for the Battle of the Ten Thousand Demons.]
The Battle of the Ten Thousand Demons is a slaughter battle fought by ancient great demons to become the Demon King.
If it is true, it makes sense why Asura returned to the demon world.
but.
“If those guys weren’t stupid, there would be no reason to hold a battle of ten thousand demons at this time.”
The demon race, which boasted the greatest power, is going through the worst times through the demon war.
Even if a new demon king was selected through a battle of ten thousand demons, the sacrifice would be significant.
“Typhon. Do you have any memories of times like this?”
Typhon shook his head at Taehyun’s question.
[This is also my first time seeing this person. There has never been a battle held twice.]
[There is nothing we can do right now anyway. For now, I have no choice but to watch the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons with the eyes of Asura.]
* * *
Kuung.
Asura is a dry land of famine hell.
We landed on the huge Colosseum built on top of it.
I folded my wings and looked around.
Lower intermediate. Senior level. Even the great devils and ancient great devils.
There were a lot of demons in what could have been the audience seats.
[The Mammon guy. You’re doing something fun. Isn’t that right, Phaedon?]
Asura smiled darkly and spoke the name of another great devil in front of him.
Adoration Phaedo.
This guy enjoyed the same status as Mammon under Diablo.
[I agree. I don’t want to engage in a slaughter war at this time… but if I can determine the demon king with limited sacrifices, it’s not a bad idea.] The
Battle of Ten Thousand Demons is essentially a battle of slaughter waged by 10,000 ancient great demons.
However, there are not many ancient great devils left alive anymore.
Would it be a hundred in total?
Then I heard a familiar voice.
[It’s been a while since I last saw you, Asura.]
Kuung. Cooung.
Two great devils landed from the sky.
They were Mammon and Mephisto.
[Cluck, click. I thought you would participate.]
[How can you refuse such an interesting fight?]
Asura grinned at Mephisto’s words and unleashed his magic power.
[Has everyone gathered to participate in this?]
[I think so.]
This is the moment when Mammon checks on his brothers on the stage of the Colosseum and is about to announce the battle of all demons.
Phew.
The wind blew once.
Cooung.
A massive body that overwhelms the four great devils has landed.
[Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be too late.]
The owner of the giant creature with folded wings looked at the four ancient archdemons.
and.
[Say hello. The original horse is said to be Asmodeus.]
