Chapter 699,
Chapter 178. Deepening Concern (3)
“You are the true Creator…”
said Jin.
Everyone must have thought that way at one time or another. If God made the world, who made it?
The answer to that question is usually the same. Either there is another god above the god or he has come into existence himself.
Orgal said that it was ‘Kingelo’, the sun god.
Unlike many swindlers who claimed to be the sun god, Orgal’s claim was clearly credible.
Jin had personally experienced the power of the sun god. Valeria, who was mortally wounded, was completely healed in the area formed by the remaining energy of the sun god, which Ziffle called the Holy Land.
Besides, what about the veil of being a creature of the sun? As soon as he was born, he possessed tremendous power, and in addition to divine combat power, he also had resistance to manipulation of history. Without any training or enlightenment.
“How are you, Jin-kyung? Kyung has just learned the world’s biggest secret. Doesn’t your heart race?”
At Margiela’s question, Jin shrugged.
Even if the sun god really existed, it wasn’t a very interesting story for Jin.
On the contrary, it only adds to the problem. If we don’t destroy Kingelo in time, we’ll be confronted with such a high-dimensional being.
Of course, it was a story when the sun god really existed and even resurrection was possible.
“Well, I don’t know. How are you Bale?”
“I’m not very curious either.”
At Veil’s sullen reply, Jin rubbed his chest inwardly.
If Bale had a longing for the unknown creator who made him, the anxiety factor would have increased again.
Bale’s only interest was Sarah Runkandel. Faced with the fact that Sara had already been killed a thousand years ago, this world was just a huge vacant lot to him.
However, in that clearing, the people who killed Sarah are still alive, as Jin told them. The meaning of the last remaining life for Bale was to annihilate them.
[Vail, don’t you really wonder anything about the being that made you?]
“You can’t hear? Why are you asking the same thing over and over again? I’m not curious, I’m not curious.”
Bale’s aggressive reply made most of Kingelo’s officers look embarrassed, and Orgal seemed a bit sad.
‘Rather, longing for the sun god is not Veil, but Orgal.’
Orgal is a demon king with the nickname of the demon king among the demons. Jin thought that the combination of him and the sun god was very inappropriate.
[It’s a pity that the fragments of the Creator are no different from other orphans. He must have been aware from birth that he was a creature of the sun god. Cough…]
“Hey Jin. I don’t like him, can I just hit him once? You seem to be treating me like an idiot.”
“You shouldn’t beat a sick person, but now you’re an ally.”
Kingelo’s executives continued to be disappointed with the behavior of Bale, whom they had expected so much.
On the one hand, Jin understood their disappointment. Because he felt the same way when he first saw the veil.
“Sir Vale. Imagine the sun god returning and purifying the world.”
Bale snorted as Margiela spoke like a brightly erring fanatic.
“no.”
“Even if in the world he returns to, Lord Bale will be able to meet the one he loves most?”
“You say you can meet Sarah… again?”
“sure. The Sun God will never overlook Lord Bale’s deep sorrow. Veil is, after all, a piece of the sun god, so the sorrow is his too. The only way it can be purified is for Sir Sarah to come back.”
At that point, Jin came to understand more clearly the reason why Kingelo used to make zips and demon stones in the past. The background of their obsession with Boubar Gaston.
‘Pieces… It’s probably up to that disgusting bastard, Boubar, to collect and put together the fragments of the sun god.’
If so, it means that the veil-like existence may not be one.
Jin suddenly thought that Kingelo wasn’t as stupid and stupid as he had been. All of these madmen’s cards were too risky.
All of my enemies were like that. Even thinking about Rosa was daunting, but the demon king and the sun god kept throbbing in my head.
I checked the atmosphere of the veil again. He was a little shaken by the news that he could meet Sara.
Jin decided to wait in silence to see how he reacted.
“Fuck the bullshit. Even if the sun god resurrected Sarah, that would not be the Sarah I knew. Another Sandra Ziffle. So don’t bring up Sarah again. If it wasn’t for the ban, you guys would have already turned to dust and scattered somewhere in the world.”
“Oh…”
Jin exclaimed.
“Good answer, Veil.”
Seeing how Bale wasn’t dazzled by Kingelo, who had even mentioned Sarah, Jin felt proud for some reason.
“Lord Vale too! You have a misunderstanding. I mean…”
“This is all pointless. Giving you a chance to seduce the veil was my own consideration. It is true that I somewhat disregarded your goodwill. I also heard a little bit about Zito. But since you failed, don’t mess around with Bale anymore. It means to show Orgal recovering.”
[Cough!]
“Look at this, he’s still coughing like he’s about to collapse. How the hell are you going to fight Rosa when you only show such a worthless side? Organa looked at Rosa for a moment as she unsealed the veil. He seems to be getting stronger faster than you expected.”
-Everyone seems to be worried about when Rosa will move, but let me tell you one thing. It will take at least a year before she can move herself. Until then, the world will not perish.
At the first meeting of the Provisional Alliance, Orgal made it sound like there was little chance that Rosa would be active within a year.
“It’s only been about three months since the first meeting, when you said it would take at least a year. But the Rosa I encountered at the Seal of the Veil… is much stronger than when I struck the Garden of Swords. Didn’t you feel anything else about Orgal?”
[No. But if what you say is true, the day of the showdown may come earlier.]
“Yes. The already lacking time has become tighter. That’s why I brought Bale here, knowing that it would benefit Kingelo. I’m not here to quench your thirst for the sun god.”
Orgal nodded.
[For my recovery, the power of the veil must be released.]
As Jin blinked, a ring formed above the veil’s head, and wings formed on its back, exuding golden energy.
Then, Orgal’s body, which was composed like smoke, began to thicken at a rapid rate. Just as the ground cracked by drought absorbs the sweet rain.
Bale was very displeased with his energy being absorbed into him, but remained silent.
“Jin, that’s stealing my power. Can’t we block it?”
“If it’s permanent damage, try blocking it.”
“It’s not like that… but it’s on a weak level.”
It was only at a weak level from Bale’s point of view. The energy of the sun god he possesses is infinitely close to human standards.
Watching Orgal’s body become more and more distinct, Jin thought of Murakan.
‘It feels similar to when Murakan absorbs my aura and recovers. It seems to be much more effective than that, but…’ As soon as
Murakan woke up from the storm, he tried to inhale Jin’s aura and Orgal absorbed the veil’s energy.
Orgal, then, meant an existence created by the sun god. It’s like the Guardian Dragons receiving power from their gods.
[Whoa…]
When Orgal took a deep breath, he was no longer the ghostly form he had been before.
The features were properly revealed on the face, and the blurry body became a distinct gray color.
There are still some blurry parts left here and there, but if you cover it up, it becomes similar to other normal demons.
However, through the energy of the veil, further recovery seemed impossible.
“Finally the cough has stopped. Now, he has become close to other demons.”
[It’s been quite a while since I felt this way…]
“But it seems that the recovery through the veil is the limit, isn’t it? In order to recover more completely, we need the Holy Land of Zipple.”
It was not difficult for Jin to guess that the power of the sun god remaining in Ziple’s holy ground was far more pure than the one possessed by the veil.
“Congratulations, Master.”
Zephyrin got down on one knee and said to Orgal.
Jin didn’t feel any special change in energy from the recovered Orgal, but he recognized that his power had grown enormous through Zephyrin.
Zephyrin was spreading an aura that was incomparably stronger than before.
If Zephyrin had this much power when they first met at Black King Sanchae, Jin’s story would have ended there.
Zephyrin is a being that receives power from Orgal. And until now, Orgal’s remaining power had been excessively drawn every time, but now, even though Zephyrin’s energy has grown more than ever, Orgal was not particularly hit.
“I finally have a little bit of faith, Orgal. I wondered what would happen if I pretended to be sick until the day of the decisive battle came. But, as in the Kaldran snowfield, if you use more than a certain amount of power, it won’t get worse again, right?”
[Don’t worry about that. As long as I don’t end up dying, I can always maintain this level now.] It was a
good answer when I thought about the final battle with Rosa, or a terrible story when I imagined what would happen to fight Kingelo later.
[But I’m going to need an adaptation phase like the bust. It should take a few days.]
“A few days would be nice. Don’t overdo it because you feel good about the strength you’ve regained after a long time. I’m just saying this because I’ve been anxious since I’ve only seen such a pitiful side of myself.”
Orgal looked at Jin and smiled.
[I’ve only regained about 10% of my power, so I’m not happy enough to go crazy.]
“10% is
this much…” [Didn’t I mention it during the conference? ]
Orgal’s words didn’t sound like bluffing at all, so he was a little distraught.
Bale turned his head and asked Jin this question.
[That doesn’t look like a patient anymore, can I lose it!?]
Jin burst out laughing.
