78. The Demon King Corrupts (5)
“If you look closely, you are the gods of the New Testament. “Angels of the Old Testament.”
“That’s wrong.”
“At least Lucifer thinks so. The fact that he manipulated the oracle means that he misrepresented God. At that time, I must have used various excuses to persuade the other Old Testament angels, saying it was a mistake or something. “He must have created faith again, transferred authority to the angels of the New Testament, and
won everyone’s respect by saying that he would sacrifice himself for the Chimaera at the end of the Silver Age.”
Yulgeum was speechless.
It was proof that everything Deus said was true.
Deus said with a smile.
“Here’s the problem. “What is Nezar?”
“Chaos Bringer.”
Yulgeum nodded at what Zeke said reflexively.
“i think so too. Lucifer has quietly maintained his position for the past 666 centuries. So that everyone
can forget their own original sin. No one doubted Lucifer. He even locked himself in a prison called the Karma Vortex. It was probably to hide even the slightest suspicion that they were trying to do something using demons. “All the angels had not the slightest doubt that he had sacrificed himself for this world.”
“He must have done his best to keep order by using his powerless alter ego, Demiurge, as his demon spirit. Peace in the 666th century. Humanity hasn’t been extinct for a really long time. Meanwhile, that son of a bitch
was probably looking for an opportunity to corrupt the angels. “By covering the eyes of the transcendent, not the angel, on the other hand, he unleashed Nezar, bringing chaos to the world.”
Deus looked at Yulgeum while saying the words ‘Eyes of the Transcendent.’
Anyone could see it. The dragons revolt and Deus runs away. As a result, those two blocked Yulgeum’s gaze.
“It’s your fault.”
Deus snorted at Yulgeum’s slap.
“I guess it’s your fault for losing your composure just to that extent
.”
“I can’t say no. Just like I did, Raguel and Raziel must have suffered something from him. Corruption does not come simply because of doubt. We are free spirits, so we can have doubts at any time. But when that doubt settles into our consciousness, we become corrupted.”
“Are you saying that if you start to believe in doubt, you’ll go crazy?”
“It’s like a conspiracy theory. It’s okay to doubt something for fun, but if you start blindly trusting the doubt itself,
it will lead to another disaster.”
“Did Lucifer ignite their suspicions?”
“Maybe so. Raziel was just bored. I was just tired of being the king of the fairies and protecting the forest for 666 centuries. What could be wrong with that in itself? But I lost my mind in boredom and became corrupted.”
Zeke said.
“Raguel must have become suspicious because he was sealed for a long time. “I felt like I had been abandoned by the God I believed in and followed.”
“I guess that’s what caused the paranoia. There’s no way he doesn’t know who God is. “The question of whether there is one person or multiple people is such a foolish suspicion that I don’t even know how to convince you.”
Deus said, crossing his arms.
“Anyway, it’s good to be clear, right? “If we just catch that guy, everything will be resolved.”
“But how? Lucifer is not an easy opponent. “Because he is not someone who can be dealt with simply by strength alone.”
“Didn’t you forget one thing?”
” what?”
“That this body is the smartest being in the entire universe.”
“Mr. Noue Bonjwa.”
“You just need to check one thing. Does he want to use a barbell? Or do you want to throw it away?”
Yulgeum closed his mouth as if caught off guard by Deus’ question.
Zeke muttered.
“Wanting to write… means to send humanity to the next level, right? Angels will also be freed from the karma of their guardians… On the other hand, discarding… does this mean that they will confine humans to this universe?”
“I guess he wants to become a god.”
“But then there is no reason to crash the continent of Jose.”
“It was Nezar who caused Jose’s continent to crash.”
“That itself is a contradiction. If you wanted stability, there was no need to shake the world. “If Babel is not revived, the status quo will naturally be maintained.”
“is it?”
Yulgeum said.
“What Lucifer wants
is for humanity to advance into the outside world using Babel. It was a bit violent, but it couldn’t have been helped to break the stability. “It was he who created the current fixation, so in a way, taking the lead in breaking the shell was his karma.”
“You’re still stupid.”
“Why are you fighting?”
“How can it be wrong to call a tree a tree?”
“Then why don’t Devon tell me?”
“Do you still believe in that bastard?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you believe that he is an angel and wants to protect order and harmony in the world?”
“that!”
“You said I have half of his blood flowing through my body, right? “I’m that guy, and considering everything he’s done so far, what do you think he really wants?”
“Don’t hesitate.”
“I’ll sum it up in one word. That is destruction.”
“Yes, I have listened to your opinion. “Your Excellency.”
“Remodeling or reconstruction? Of those options, the child chose the latter. “I’m thinking of rewriting Genesis.”
“Why did you do that…
“Isn’t it me? But if you simply wanted to get humanity back on track, there was something you had to do before all that.”
“What should I do?”
Yulgeum thought about it for a while, but could not find an answer.
At that moment, Signi, who rarely participated in such conversations, put her hands together and said in prayer.
“You have to pray to God.”
Yulgeum was startled.
“I see! There was no need to use such violent methods
to corrupt the angels. “I would have just waited for God’s word.”
“It’s so obvious, but why did I only realize it now? That’s because Lucifer was that kind of guy. Because of everything I do, I always end up in accidents. However, since what he did was aimed at harmony and order, everyone would have recognized him. In other words, no one doubts that he is an angel. Even you don’t doubt it. “Because it’s been like that for hundreds of millions of years.”
“You mean the inertia of faith.”
“I don’t know what that kid was like. I’m not interested. I don’t know if he created the devil or what it was like, but hearing things like that just makes me feel bad. Because it’s disgusting that you act like you’re my creator. But in a strange way, I can understand what they are doing. “I think I know what I want to do.”
“Because he is the creator.”
“Kyeah!”
“Lucifer is trying to reset this world?”
“I’m trying to open the Fourth Age. After an era of gold and silver turmoil, what’s next? They say this is the Iron Age, but
is there even such continuity?”
Zeke asked.
“So what happens to humanity now?”
“How do you know…
Deus laughs.
“It should disappear.”
Zeke was left speechless by his smile, which was almost like a smile.
Lucifer was sitting on a throne on a dwarf planet.
The star’s name is Pluto.
Sitting cross-legged on the throne,
she let out a bored sigh.
In front of him, the four great angels of the New Testament were bowing their heads.
No, I couldn’t call them angels anymore.
They all had black feathers covering their shoulders. The eyes were empty and the weapon no longer had a holy glow.
“It ultimately failed.”
The other angels of the New Testament bowed their heads at the words Lucifer spat out.
Michael of the Black Flame said.
“He was corrupted by lies.”
“It’s amazing that that’s possible.”
“Half of the Demon King is an angel, but the other half… is filled with the unknown.”
“The Demon King was the last chimera created by humans.”
“And it was a human being himself.”
“that’s right. Humans ultimately created humans. But the humans created by humans were not humans.”
For a moment, the boredom disappeared from Lucifer’s eyes.
“Isn’t it fun? Why did humans want to create humans?”
“Nezar also created Adapa.”
“different. Adapa is a genetic clone of a human. The original exists. Even if the genes were mixed. In comparison, Chimaera, a human created in the Silver Age, was created from nothing.”
“It was a homunculus.”
“Everyone failed. Rather, it is not difficult to make composite numbers. If you think about it, Adapa is also a type of composite number. Because it is a modified human being. But the last homunculus was definitely different.”
Lucifer
narrowed his eyes as if recalling the events of that day.
“The Demiurges mixed with my blood were actually disappointing. It was normal. “Except for one guy.”
“666 years old is unique.”
“A flower that blooms once every hundreds of thousands of years. “Like Udumbara in a fable, it endured for a long time and bloomed.”
“We also failed to retrieve the Death God Beast.”
“Metatron must have had a hand in it. Because she doesn’t want order to be broken.”
“Mother. What should I do now
? “We haven’t heard what happens next.”
“Nothing has changed. The doll of destruction has already been born. “On that day, we will have to watch the destruction of the world.”
Lucifer nodded and muttered.
“All-knowing, all-powerful, our God. “If it is your will for me to be here, then it is also your will for me to do it.”
The four fallen angels chanted as if praying.
“Your will will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
“But is it okay to walk around confidently like this?”
Yulgeum, who was basking in the sun at a resort, turned his head and looked at Deus.
“Why is it only one side to sell when we are in a situation where everyone is lying together?”
“I don’t care. “Because you were the one taken by Lucifer.”
“You’re so carefree after being stabbed in the back.”
“Are you going to stab me in the back?”
“Aren’t you close friends?”
—…”
“I guess we weren’t very close.”
“It’s not that we weren’t close, but he was the type that was difficult to understand. she is.”
“It looks like it’s black inside.”
“I told you. “She is the one who brought about the end of the Old Testament.”
“You say the division between the New Testament and the Old Testament is like the starting point of the Golden Age? “Then what is the relationship between the birth of human civilization and Lucifer?”
“I see… Now that I think about it, it was her too.”
“What did you do?”
“No, it’s not that big of a deal. “He taught mankind how to sow seeds.”
“How to sow seeds? “Is this a dirty story?”
“no it’s not?”
“So how do you really plant seeds?”
“Ugh” o.
“Is that so great that you can teach it to someone else?”
“It was like that back then. “Humanity has grown and matured for two million years since its inception, but the opportunity to grow into a civilization has rarely come.”
“Is that sowing seeds?”
“that’s right. “Humans were destined to settle down when they started farming.”
“…I think if I just left it alone, I would realize it someday.”
“She was the one who pretended to be an oracle and taught humans the first steps to civilization. As punishment, Lucifer was reduced to the lowest rank of angel… and God no longer spoke directly with us. “Perhaps we have stopped hearing Him.”
“God is just the will of the universe.”
“In previous times, you could hear it clearly. His word.”
“Isn’t it just that they were group brainwashed and
then released?”
“You always speak beautifully.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“To non-believers, it will only seem like group brainwashing. Lucifer distorted his voice for the first time. After that, distrust may have sprouted between us. I even began to doubt whether it was the voice of God in the first place.”
“So you created the angels of the New Testament.”
“God willing.”
