Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 349
The great mage who transcends by regression Episode 349
Tuk Tuk.
The Demon God stood in the center of the heavens and looked at his empty right arm.
Although the feelings have already subsided, for some reason, the ripples in his composure are gradually rippling.
But I didn’t want to admit it.
If I admit that I am shaken by an existence that was only my body and soul, wouldn’t it be like recognizing him as a ‘match’?
Can not be done.
Never.
For me, there was such an existence at the beginning, and even now there is only one. … .
‘Asar.’
A companion who once had the same aspirations, and his only adversary.
Yes, created beings are not qualified as his ‘adversaries’.
Even if it is a being that has a part of its own soul and body.
That’s what adversary of God means.
‘Is this what you wanted?’
He thought for a moment about a close friend he no longer had.
At first, the feeling of betrayal crept up.
Ironically, however, the next emotion was longing.
It’s a fucking thing.
To have such feelings for someone who betrayed you and denied you.
But what can I do?
That’s what it means to be half of the soul. Unfortunately, nothing can take his place.
betrayal and longing.
The demon admitted that incompatible emotions were swirling deep in his soul.
But what do you mean?
nothing can be undone
Since it cannot be undone, what remains is not longing, but hatred.
“I will make it right.”
Bright red eyes peeking out between the palms of her hands clenched her face were shedding ominous light.
and above it.
Clink!
The finely cracked sky is slowly crumbling down. And between the crumbling debris… … .
[Kaaaaa!]
All kinds of monsters and demons pour down.
and in that gap.
Wow!
『My God.』
A huge evil dragon slowly descended, spreading its six wings.
It wasn’t just the evil dragon that descended.
There was a shadow beside him.
“Key Geek… … It
was in the form of a human, but there was a bizarre noise all over its body.
pureblood at its best.
The best mix.
Finally, the two great demons who kept the Demon God closest came down.
“Come on, my children.”
The demon greeted my limbs with a cold smile.
The two great demons, together with their limbs, quietly bowed their heads in front of the demon god.
There are two or three left.
Less than before time was rewinded.
But even so, he never thought of his defeat.
It is the conviction as ‘God’.
He lost a lot, but in exchange for it, he now truly decided to let go of his arrogance.
okay.
Just as the hero unites everyone and prepares for the end, the demon also prepares for the end.
The end was approaching.
the end of everything.
* * *
“Now, the demon will not choose any means or methods.”
I called everyone together and started explaining the current situation.
What does Hekau’s fall mean and how will the Demon God move in the future… … .
Then Ryan said.
“Just a short time ago, you gave the demon a big blow. That much, at least for a while… … .”
“I guess that’s what you drank.”
“ah… … .”
Everyone’s faces darkened at my words.
You must have realized what I was trying to say.
“Do you mean that he will push through with the amount he did before the return?”
“Yeah, that’s why he endured until now to create and collect demons.”
“Wait, then there’s no way to hit the devil right now? Until he heals his wounds and finishes all preparations, there is no way to touch him… … .”
“Yes.”
I said firmly.
“If it weren’t for that, I couldn’t have summoned you guys like this. Of course, there is a way, so we plan like this.”
“Well, that’s it.”
It is true that from his point of view, the top priority was to crash Hekau and obtain the sole god position.
However, he has not yet become a complete god.
And it’s not like I don’t have the means to give him a shot.
Isn’t that why he said ‘I’ll see you again soon’?
“Then what is that method?”
Eileen asked cautiously.
How to reach the demon.
So far, I have been diligently thinking and moving to come up with this ‘method’.
And after repeated growth and income, I got it.
“Simply put… … .”
It’s something only I can do.
What only I can do, born as a human being and being reborn as a god at the same time… … .
“I am fooling the world.”
“… … yes?”
Of course, most of them were staring at me with an expression of incomprehension.
The only one who seemed to have noticed was the sage Herma.
Since it was created by Thoth for ‘knowledge’ in the first place, you probably got the point from my brief words.
“In other words, you are imitating ‘God’. So skillful that the world recognizes the hero as a god.”
“for a moment.”
Ryan held his head.
“Cheating the world? What the hell is the wise man’s world deceiving? … .”
“Of course, I am not saying that the world has a personality. However, it is true that there is a system of its own. A very inorganic system.”
“That’s right.”
I continued speaking while accepting Herma’s words.
“There is a limit to how a divine being can keep the world ‘effective’. So I borrow the power of my own system.”
“If we interpret it our way, can we see it as cheating the law?”
“Similar.”
However, should I say that the law is more thorough and without gaps?
Responding to the butler’s words, I spoke again.
“The important thing is that the Demon God who holds the initiative is not particularly perfectly recognized by that ‘system’.”
Yes, as with the law, if it’s illegal or legal… … Should I say that the demon god is now barely legal?
In terms of whether or not it’s allowed, I’m at a level that’s close to being illegal right now. I’m new, but why are you so dangerous?
Didn’t he get kicked out once?
This is because he was manually labeled as a ‘criminal’ by Asar and expelled from the world.
That was part of the reason why the Demon God was having trouble finding his power right now.
Anyway, here’s what’s important.
Right now, the ‘instability’ that the Demon God has also applies to me.
If the case of demons has a negative meaning, I would say it is in a positive direction.
“I was recognized by Asar, and at the same time, I was also recognized by ‘Harmageddon’ here.”
In addition, there is also the power of the stigma that he received from Hekau as a bonus.
To put it simply, it’s okay to say that I was recognized by the three gods that existed in this world.
it is symbolic
If you show a little more sincerity, would you say it’s a symbolism that the world would like to acknowledge?
In that way, I explained it to my colleagues, mixing metaphors appropriately.
Lian spoke after a while.
“So, assuming you understand it roughly, how exactly are you going to fool the world? I don’t mean to become a god, but I’m not saying you want the world to recognize you as a god. It doesn’t sound easy.”
“It certainly won’t be.”
It was Harmageddon who received those words. The boy crossed his arms and said with a relaxed expression.
“It’s not easy, it’s only people who don’t deserve to be gods.”
“… … Is it okay if you deserve it?”
Lian received Harmageddon’s words with a voice that said she didn’t like it.
It’s not strange.
No matter how much I said that Harmageddon and the Demon God were separate beings, they wouldn’t look separate at all in the eyes of others.
Harmageddon didn’t seem particularly concerned. As if, of course, he would have to endure it.
“of course. That’s what it means to directly obtain the ‘God’ with one’s own will.”
“… … .”
“This guy ‘Mikhail Walpurgis’ is already at the stage where he can become a god if he gives up his trivial humanity.”
“… … !”
At that, everyone looked at me with their eyes wide open.
Even though he knew that I was a demigod and had my own divine power, he seemed to have no idea that I would have reached this level.
I didn’t really deny it.
Actually, if you give up your humanity, it doesn’t seem like it would be too difficult to become a god.
but.
“It doesn’t make any sense.”
I simply dismissed the possibility that I could become a god.
Humanity is not just a feeling. Here, humanity is the same way of thinking as whether we view the current human race as equal beings.
“Even if I could become a god, how would I know exactly what I would do after being stripped of my humanity?”
“That… … Are you saying you can’t even tell yourself?”
“If I had assured him, he would have castrated his humanity and become a god right away. If you can deal with the Demon God with that, it’s a good enough business.”
But will I be able to truly remain as a god for mankind even after my ‘humanity’ is removed?
It’s probably very likely.
However, the probability that this is not the case cannot be ignored.
And I didn’t want to gamble with the fate of mankind that way.
“Anyway, then how do you deceive the world? Simple. You can use the completed ‘Round Table’.”
“If it’s a Round Table, then the Hall of the Apostles will be completed by collecting all the sacred objects?”
“Yes, all of the apostles served Asar. High priests, to put it in contemporary terms.”
All 13 apostles.
All they have to do is accept me as ‘God’. For example, being the sole heir of Asar… … .
In addition, preparations were made to temporarily confuse the ‘system’.
“At this moment, down here, Dirge and the apostle Ammut are probably doing their best digging.”
“Huh… … .”
“Yes, that means that the path itself is also a type of super-giant magic that will confuse the system.”
When all of that is put together, the conditions for facing the Demon God are completed.
Therefore, the important thing now is the last remaining tomb.
My plan was based on the premise of completing the Round Table.
“therefore… … Are you saying that the reason you’ve been walking around like that is because you assumed that the Demon God would come out like this?”
“Not all, but to some extent, I guess.”
Before the regression, there was only ‘information’, and it was immediately after the regression that concrete plans began to be made.
“You really… … .”
“I’m going to stand up to God, but of course I have to make a plan like this.”
Anyway, one thing is important.
Asar’s final arrangement and final puzzle, the final tomb.
“The last apostle of the tomb is Horus.”
The information of this tomb was also clearly shared by the apostles.
“Where is the location?”
“Ironically, it is currently the most inaccessible place in the world. Well, it doesn’t matter to me now.”
“Where are you?”
Aileen asked me with a very anxious look. A place that is only allowed to one person in this era.
At the same time, a place that can never be accessed except for that one person who is allowed is right… … .
“The Imperial Palace.”
“oh.”
Everyone opened their mouths at my words.
At the same time, an indescribable silence ensued between us.
and after a while
“I put it in the same place once.”
Quite simply, Lian summarized the whole situation in one sentence.
* * *
The Imperial Palace.
The emperor was acutely aware of the rapidly changing situation.
And the change was so dramatic that it was impossible to ignore it, so we had no choice but to actively respond.
“Your Majesty, this is an urgent message.”
“… … Is it urgent again?”
The emperor shook his head for a moment, clutching his forehead at the report of Hector, the head of the imperial knights.
I could see the tiredness in my eyes that I couldn’t hide, but it couldn’t be helped.
Because the situation was… … .
“Okay, something else this time.”
Recently, demons and monsters have started pouring in from all over the empire.
I prepared as much as I could and based on that, I fought against the disaster, but where does it go as I thought?
Even the forces of the empire were not enough to deal with the endless rain of demons.
‘If we go to a war of attrition like this, in the end, we will be at a disadvantage.’
Since the emperor knew that fact better than anyone else, he had no choice but to be gloomy.
No matter how great a strategy is, the light will fade in the face of overwhelming quantities… … .
“Looking at Kyung’s expression, it seems to be quite serious, but has Daeyoung collapsed anywhere?”
“It’s not like that, but… … .”
Hector stared at the ceiling for a moment, not knowing what to say.
“A warrior has arrived.”
“Oh, Mikhail Walpurgis?”
Isn’t it a face that hasn’t been seen for a long time.
It’s been a while, and in the current situation, he is the person who is needed more than anyone else.
But why are you so upset?
The emperor gave the order with half delight and half wonder.
“Let it in.”
“that is… … came in.”
“hmm?”
He looked at Hector with the expression that the emperor was talking about.
He continued with his eyes closed.
“I just jumped into the imperial palace because there was no time.”
“Wait, that means… … .”
“… … yes.”
Hector continued with a look of shame.
“I don’t know exactly where it is, but it’s certain that it’s wandering around the imperial palace somewhere.”
“… … .”
The Emperor silently looked at Hector. A loyal imperial knight and master who has served him for a long time.
Hector averted his gaze and said.
“While I didn’t see… … It was a little too big. I couldn’t help it.”
“Isn’t this treason?”
At those words, Hector said with a look that the world was full.
“… … I mean.”
What the hell is this empire trying to do?
