Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 162

[Did we know it would end like this?]

“I knew.”

[I thought it was a moth running into a fire even though it knew it would die.]

“That’s stupid. “I am not a moth or anything, I am a human being.”

Daeseong answered briefly while squatting on the mountain where the corpses of the demonic beasts were piled up.

square-. square-.

His hand holding the pen moved busily.

And behind it.

The mountain goat-headed demon with four long arms was turning into ashes and slowly disappearing.

The goat-headed demon asked.

Even in the face of fast-approaching death, he spoke in a voice so innocent like that of a child.

[Do you remember what ‘race’ you were? It’s amazing. The people I kidnapped to hell ended up not even remembering who they were after rolling, fighting, and suffering.]

“I did it.”

[How?]

“….”

[Stop nitpicking and answer.]

That moment.

Daesung’s busy hands suddenly stopped. For some reason, I didn’t even know.

It wouldn’t be sympathy. I wasn’t moved by the monster’s plea to look over here.

manners.

Yes, this is polite.

A courtesy shown to an ‘enemy’ encountered at the end of a journey that lasted 80 years.

Sze-.

Daesung, who had been turning his back from earlier, turned around.

He then showed the ‘diary’ in his hand to the demon beast and said.

“I constantly wrote and rewrote so as not to forget that I am a ‘human being’ and not a monster. “For 80 years.”

[….]

“You demon beasts who know nothing but destruction won’t be able to do it. “It is the act of ‘remembering’ and ‘leaving behind’ something.”

[Have you been writing this down all this time? Your actions, your footsteps?]

“Yes.”

[Then there must be a story about me written there too?]

“I was just about to write it down.”

[What are you going to write?]

“I thought I was strong, but it turns out I’m just a big asshole.”

The goat-headed demonic beast laughed.

Even though he heard insulting words, he burst into laughter happily.

After a while.

The goat-headed beast that had stopped laughing looked up at the sky filled with fire and spoke quietly.

[When I opened my eyes, there was fire everywhere and I was alone.]

“….”

[I hated that loneliness, so I kidnapped beings from all over the world at random.]

“Is that really why I fell here? “You’re even more of an asshole than I thought.”

[I needed someone to soothe my loneliness. I thought so… but now I think maybe I didn’t know how I felt.]

More than half of the mountain goat-headed beast’s body crumbled to pieces.

It won’t be long before he can speak out.

[I don’t need an enemy, but I may have been longing for someone who would remember me even after I die.] As the

indifferent chatter continued, Daesung turned around and started writing in his diary.

Even though he thought it was a buried car, the goat-headed beast continued talking.

Right now, I was finding great comfort in the fact that there was someone who would listen to my last lamentations.

[Everyone who stood before me died by my hands. He died sooner than me. When everyone dies like that… who will remember me after I die?]

“….”

[But I feel relieved now. Because you will remember me.]

“Okay. “I can’t forget a bastard like you if I try to.”

Sereung-.

Instead of fiddling with his pen, Daeseong stood up and pulled out the fireworks greatsword that had been placed on one side of the corpse like a tombstone.

“I can’t stand it because I’m so disgusted watching this emotional arm act. “Stop babbling and really die now.”

[Do whatever you feel like. Either cut off the head or stab the heart.]

“Yes.”

Daesung chose to part the top of his head vertically.

The Fire Flame Greatsword fell vertically into the air, and lava-like blood flowed out from the goat-headed demon beast.

like that.

Mephisto, the lord of hell and the demon god of the underworld, died.

***

A year has passed since then.

Daesung, who was in the midst of hunting down the Dimension Takers hiding in human society, training Hwang Jun-young and his group, and preparing for the war against Honse that would take place a year later, suddenly had this thought.

‘Once the fight against Honse is over, more powerful enemies may be waiting behind it.’

I didn’t think it was just a hunch. Now that he knew that there were countless other worlds in the universe besides hell, he had no choice but to be convinced.

Enemies bigger than hell and bigger than hell might invade the Earth someday.

If that time comes, will you, Hwang Jun-young and his group, or humanity, be able to easily endure that ordeal?

no.

Daesung shook his head.

lack.

A bigger and more powerful force must be used. I got obsessive-compulsive.

‘There are beings on Earth that I must protect. I’m not the only one.’

That fact made Daesung’s personality even more severe and thorough.

To him, the biggest difference between hell and Earth was not whether there were demons or not.

It was a question of whether or not there was someone else to protect besides oneself.

Therefore, we have no choice but to seek stronger power. I had to acquire such irrational power that it erased all variables.

On the day when such a thought occurred to me, Daesung entered the Pantheon.

And towards the Absolute who wants power, the system message presented a ‘third form’ of quests that had not been revealed before.

[Would you like to accept the ‘Second Coming of the Demon God’ quest? Yes / No]

***

-Seeing that you called me back like this, I see that you really remembered me. I’m touched.

“If you don’t shut up, I will have your summons lifted, so just know that.”

-His cold personality still hasn’t changed.

While everyday conversations were taking place.

The rulers expressed deep astonishment upon seeing the being who had returned to this world.

What just happened?

The moment when that insignificant little human had a goat’s head on his face.

Strong flames that I had never encountered before gathered together, and my body swelled in an instant.

And what appeared before our eyes was a being with such ferocious energy that even the rulers themselves were momentarily scared.

Neither the sea god Sagar nor the ancient dragon Fafnir nor the floating factory machine god nor the chaos titan Hecatonkale will know the name and identity of that being.

It has to be that way.

[Only the weak ones.]

The abyss of abyss that flows quietly at the bottom of multiple dimensions.

How can we recognize the one who quietly reigned in ‘hell’?

All I can feel is the fact that he is a ‘strong man’ who is difficult to attack.

[Hu…]

At that time.

Fafnir, who had been silent along with the other rulers, suddenly showed his teeth

[Huhahahaha!]

and finally started to raise his head high and burst into laughter.

As the ancient dragon’s maniacal laughter shook the earth, the rulers frowned openly as if they were displeased.

Of course, Fafnir said this without caring about the atmosphere around him.

[It’s fun! Very fun! A being so powerful that even I, the king of dragons, felt numb! And it is a gathering of the so-called rulers! The stage I wanted was literally ready!]

“Don’t make a fuss about someone who’s going to die soon. “Once I get rid of Hecaton Kale, I’ll kill you first next time.”

Daeseong, who was in the body of the demon god Mephisto, said sarcastically.

Earth, where magical power does not exist, cannot accept the existence of Mephisto.

Unlike other demonic beasts, the moment Mephisto is materialized in this world, the world will cause a huge rejection.

In that case, Mephisto also cannot be summoned in his complete form.

As a deterrent and supplement, Daeseong, who possesses enormous magical power, became Mephisto’s true body.

Therefore, Mephisto’s voice could be heard clearly in one part of his consciousness.

-So, are you going to kill this guy crawling next to you with his intestines spilling out first?

“I will take care of it.”

-What is your attitude on the subject of proudly borrowing someone else’s body?

Grumble-!

The Fire Fire Greatsword, which grew in size along with its owner, poured out flames fiercely.

The body of the demon god Mephisto tightly grasped the fiery sword with one of his six hands.

Daesung spoke to Hecaton Kale, who was slowly dying like a withered plant from earlier.

“I’ll put you out of your pain.”

The vertical sword rose high enough to pierce Hecatoncale’s neck at any moment.

Fafnir just folded his arms and watched the scene with a sneer.

Hecaton Kale, reflected in his eyes, was no longer like a ‘nemesis’.

He’s just a pathetic loser who can’t even help a single human being.

However, unlike Fafnir, Sagara reacted violently.

[Oh, no! Don’t kill me! I will definitely kill that guy with my own hands…!]

But the urgent cry was meaningless.

Phew!

The fiery blade fell straight down and pierced the top of Hecaton Kale’s head.

[‘Hecaton Kale, the Giant of Chaos’ has been defeated!]

[You have obtained a pure life stone to feed to the ‘Life Devourer’!]

Hecaton Kale’s body, which had stopped breathing, turned into flying dust and disappeared.

Sagara, facing the scene, made a momentary expression of emptiness, but then became enraged, spewing out a razor-sharp murderous spirit.

[That guy was the one I was going to kill-!]

The moment Sagara’s words rang out.

Quaaaa-!

The water dragons on her head, who were incarnated as water giants, simultaneously released their breath like a blizzard.

With each shot, as many as hundreds of beams of destruction comparable to the light scattering of the annihilator dragon flew, overlapping each other.

If that thing explodes on the earth, most likely the entire earth will be destroyed.

“I can’t leave it like that.”

While an extremely cold tsunami storm was coming from the other side.

Daeseong, who borrowed Mephisto’s body, activated one of the demonic powers.

Grumble-!

Terrible flames boiled through the six arms and converged on Mephisto’s curved horn.

[‘Hell Demon God Mephisto’ activates the skill ‘Area Declaration’!]

[Deploys a unique barrier containing Mephisto’s mental world for 10 minutes.]

With the appearance of a system message.

The fireball condensed from Mephisto’s horn exploded with brilliance.

Light fell on the world for a moment.

The people who were watching the rulers’ fight in a dazed way closed their eyes tightly and covered their faces with their hands.

After that.

Those who mustered up the courage to slowly open their eyes soon became speechless.

“Oh my god…”

Someone muttered one word that represented everyone’s feelings.

Outside the protective shield.

A sphere of fire, with its surface covered in lava, was floating in the sky.

As if two suns coexist in the world.

At the same time, the rulers and great figures who swept the world like a natural disaster were also nowhere to be seen.

***

“Keeeeek-!”

“Kaaaaaak-!”

A swirling red thunderbolt struck the dragons that filled the sky.

The dragons, their entire bodies burned, fell screaming in death.

Fafnir looked in disbelief at the final moments of the soldiers, who were dying as shabby and weak as mosquitoes on an electric blanket.

‘The energy of the world of images is erasing the existence of weak things.’

It’s as if he’s getting angry and telling people not to step on him presumptuously.

Here, words are just a world of images, but in fact, they can be said to be ‘life’ itself, a living, moving thing with will.

‘A world with an ego!’

How much power does one have to have to be able to create such a ridiculous and dangerous world of imagination?

Fafnir, who had been eager to win at first, couldn’t help but feel nervous now, gulping down his dry saliva.

Sagara was equally overwhelmed by the world of images spreading out in all directions.

However, the God of Machines who led the ‘Floating Factory’ was different.

By nature, he was not affected by emotions, and unlike other rulers, he was extremely calm.

《Do you think machines are foolish enough to be embarrassed by an illusion drawn by a mortal?》

“….”

《It is an illusion that can be physically interfered with… It is an interesting research, but destroying it is the most urgent priority right now.》

Right then.

The island-shaped floating factory began to mutate.

Sigh!

The round fuselage gradually became longer and eventually took on the appearance of a thick sword.

《I’ll cut it off. Your illusion.》

The huge sword that was fixed in the sky of the world of images fell down.

A nightmarish bombing that literally hits an entire dimension!

In front of the rush of machine gods who will bring about the end of the world, Daesung, who borrowed Mephisto’s body, silently raised his six arms.

Then Fafnir was startled.

[Is he really planning on blocking that with his bare hands…?!]

It seems that Fafnir’s prediction was not wrong.

Toukwa-ang!

The falling giant sword and Mephisto’s six arms collided.

This is crazy and goes beyond common sense.

Trying to block the dimensional oppression with just your bare body!

However, Fafnir and Sagara could not help but doubt their own eyes.

[Can you withstand that…?]

No matter how much the floating factory that turned into a giant sword pressed down, Mephisto’s body did not give in.

Rather, he was pushing with his legs straight out and his arms straight out.

Quad deuk-!

The ground surface, unable to withstand the tremendous weight, caved in, creating a deep crater.

《How…?》

The machine god stammered in a voice full of confusion.

It was my first time.

Being born as a machine, he floundered under the influence of his emotions like a mortal who was so insignificant.

《This… This is something that cannot happen. In terms of probability, it can never come true.》

“I said earlier that the probability of you losing is 0.01%.”

Kwasik-!

Sharp nails protruded from Mephisto’s six hands holding the giant sword.

The corner of Mephisto’s mouth twisted eerily.

“Who is to blame for the fact that it is not 0%?”

《This!》

The moment when the God of Machines accepted the fear of death that he had never felt before.

Daeseong received the power of the world of imagery and concentrated the more powerful magical energy into his six hands.

And finally.

Damn it -.

Kwaa-ang!

The God of Machines, unable to withstand the destructive feast of magical power, destroyed himself in pieces along with the floating factory that had become a giant sword.

[You have defeated the ‘God of Machines, the Salvation Guardian’!]

[You have obtained a pure life stone to feed to the ‘Life Devourer’!]
