Chapter 963,
Chapter 237. Even though the sun is gone, the light is
April 12, 1804.
A month has passed since the subjugation of Jito. The Bamal Alliance was recognized the most by the world among all the forces that participated in the subjugation.
So, from the point of view of Hufester’s people, it was a perfect victory. In Hufestor, a festival was held every day to commemorate the extermination of demons.
However, those who had fought to the death against the demons on the frontlines could not laugh. On the other side of the victory, there were countless sorrows unknown to ordinary people and the pain of those who were brainwashed and used.
There was also the destruction of a peaceful world.
The fire of destruction left behind by Kelliac had not been extinguished until now, more than a month after the end, and was encroaching on the realm of demons.
“Here you are.”
Mila kingdom tent.
Jin raised his hand to the demons who had just entered. They were wearing black robes that didn’t match the festival.
“Looks like we’re late.”
“Sorry for waiting so long, Jinrunkandel.”
“No, I just arrived, so don’t mind.”
They were Tilias and Misool.
They were able to survive the devastating fire thanks to Murakan. At the time, Misol was not in Dokma Castle, where the fire of destruction began, but the fire eventually spread throughout the Jin Demon Realm, so Misol was also a lucky survivor.
“It’s only been a fortnight. When I was restoring the Jinma World, I was with you almost every day.”
“Yes… Thanks to you, we demons were able to avoid extinction.”
Jin felt sorry for those words.
It was because it was not easy to shake off the thought that if it had not been for his own return, the real world would have suffered such a tragedy.
As a regressor, it was a worry that always plagued Jin whenever the world’s history changed, but this time it was on a different level. The world’s population has shrunk by more than 90%.
“Whenever Jin hears these words, his expression gets really bad. Don’t do that, we would all die if it wasn’t for you. Either Zitogg killed him or Keliac.”
“…If Bassett hadn’t sacrificed himself at that time, Misol probably wouldn’t be here right now.”
Basset Biceps.
Before the fire of destruction began, he had visited Poison Demon Castle with Tilias. And just before the fire of destruction reached its climax, he used all of his ‘power of blocking’ to temporarily disperse the flames.
It was something that could be called a miracle. Bassett was in a weak state from exhaustion due to Ridolos.
Currently, about 1.5 million demons survive in the realm of demons. It was by no means small, but considering the population that originally reached tens of billions, it had no choice but to be small.
Of these, 900,000 were refugees from Biseps and the rest were survivors of the fire that Biseps was rescuing.
“And without Silcia Arsia, most of those left in Biseps’ refuge would have died.”
– Silkia.
– Yes Sir Bassett.
-From now on, you are the leader of Biseps. Take good care of the rest. Remember that you are a being who can become a god.
Bassett’s last words to Silcia.
Jin told the story to Tilias and Misol. Indeed, as Basset said, Silkia was a being who could become a god.
No, her ‘dimensional movement’ ability was already described as a god. It was only thanks to her portal that the Biseps members were able to survive when the fire of destruction spread. It opened a dimensional door through which close to one million people could move.
The portal immediately transported the Biceps members to the last refuge of the Biseps at the end of the Demon Realm. Valeria couldn’t believe her eyes the moment she checked the record.
“So all I did was wage a war in the realm of Jinma. You don’t have to feel grateful to me.”
“It’s true that you killed Zito, Jin.”
“okay. After I killed him, it was as if the real evil was separate.”
Kellyac Zipple.
Jin’s eyes narrowed as he recalled the recent actions of him and Elona. After that day, they took control of Ziple in an instant, and now the Lutero Federation has become a more dangerous and gloomy land than ever before.
“Besides, even with your nemesis in front of you, you tried to save a hell that had nothing to do with you until then. Brother’s sacrifice and Silkia’s abilities were great, but if you hadn’t helped the Jin Demon World. We would still be living in the dark. Without knowing what they were…”
Most of the Biceps members were not brainwashed in the first place.
But not the other survivors. They were brainwashed and despaired of having killed their families, friends, and lovers with their own hands.
Even with the artificial sun gone, Jinmagye had no choice but to become a land of darkness without a single light even after driving out Jito. It was impossible for survivors to find hope in it.
Everyone thought so.
“The non-Biseps survivors were constantly trying to give up their lives. I think the country did too. I already destroyed everything precious with my own hands because of Jito, so what am I going to do with my life? but the light The light you left behind… is making them live.”
Ridolos foresaw that if the artificial sun disappeared, the world of demons would be immersed in darkness.
It was the same with the Biseps members. It was just that he decided that it was more important to drive Jito out even if he lost his light. Unlike Ridolos, Biseps thought that they could live by caring for each other somehow even in the dark.
However, they had an unexpected element.
The Power of Regeneration The strange power of Jin was blooming like flowers and fireflies all over the world, lighting the way.
The artificial sun had disappeared, but the golden light coming up from the ground was rather illuminating the realm of demons more brightly than before.
The demons who lost the will to live due to pain and sorrow faced the light and felt intense hope.
It is wrapped up in such a certainty that the innocent dead will return someday by following the light.
The survivors saw that light and did not let go of their lives, and followed that light to find survivors. It was a phenomenon that even Jin himself could not explain.
“that’s right. You’ve seen it, now the Jin Demon World is more beautiful than before. When all the grievances of destruction disappear, it will literally become a shining land. It shines brighter than the ground.”
Misol lifted the glass in front of her and held it out to Jin. Tilias also raised his glass.
Jin stared at him and accepted the toast.
“Couldn’t you be mindful of not revealing to people that all the demons were brainwashed? Don’t do that, Jean. Because that’s what we asked for in the first place.”
As Tilias said, the Barmal Alliance did not fully disclose the ‘brainwashing’ to the general public at the request of Biseps.
Some of the information was disclosed, but the fact that the demons were all innocent victims was a problem that was difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Just as the demons need hope, the same goes for the people of the world. Beginning with the Geomhwang Holy War, ordinary people obviously needed their own victory in the ongoing great war.
It’s not entirely a joy that festivals commemorating the subjugation of Jito are being held all over Hufester.
The festival was also a testament to the fear of another war that would soon begin. The one-sided civil war in the Rutero Federation, which began after Kelliac returned, was putting pressure on the entire royal family.
Biseps correctly read the situation of the people, so he asked the Bamal Alliance to reveal the truth about the demons later. Although it was because of brainwashing, it was also a clear fact that the demons invaded the royal family.
“…I got it, Tilias. However, someday, when true peace comes to the world, the true circumstances of the demons will be completely revealed.”
“I was also conscious. When I first came to you and offered you an alliance, I never imagined that you would have such a soft side. It’s embarrassing that we constantly assumed that we would be taken advantage of and then abandoned.”
“That’s why I prayed that I would hold onto the name artificial sun until the end. It has become embarrassing now.”
“It must have been because we didn’t know each other well yet. Neither do you take such things to heart.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Tilias filled the empty glasses.
The reason they gathered at the tent today was to commemorate the liberation of the realm of demons in a modest way, even as the three of them. Sometimes Tilias and Missol would fill the remaining cups with the portion of Bassett and his dead comrades and empty them instead.
“jin. You will now fight Kelliac Ziple.”
Jin nodded.
Kelliac hadn’t shown much movement since taking control of Zipple. Jin was in the process of repairing the damage to his allies and Jinma world while keeping an eye on his movements.
“I heard that there are many other enemies. The Imperial Family, the enemy of the Sun God, Kingelo… and Ganesto. When you go to war with them, Silcia said you should help.”
“Are you Silkia?”
“okay. And all the members, including me, agreed with that statement. Of course, we can’t use force as the remaining combatants are not great compared to the royalties, and even that is all working hard to restore the damage to the Jinma world.”
“But it has Silkia’s ability. Right now, you need to use a lot of strength at once to recover, but Silkia’s authority will definitely be of great help to you.”
“For example, when there is a major unexpected battle, evacuating innocent people who were there… I think I could help in that way. Conversely, even when a large number of troops need to be sent to the enemy camp, Silkia will be able to play an active role.”
“Aside from that, Silkia has more abilities. Sir Bassett said that she herself had not yet awakened to her powers. So if you need her powers after some time, feel free to contact us. Or maybe Silkia will contact you first?”
The bottle was being emptied.
Jin nodded. Certainly, with Silcia’s ability, the deaths of innocent people could be prevented as much as possible.
Even if he had the power of regeneration, it was still the most important issue for Jin. Just like the demons’ belief, like Ayula’s words, even if the light of regeneration will really bring them back to life someday.
“One last toast.”
“Now we have to go back with the supplies we need.”
Tilias poured out the rest of the drink.
“For a shining future.”
“For a shining future.”
“For a shining future.”
Glasses collided. In the glass, the gold-colored land of Jin Demon World swayed.
