Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 317
[Level Up with God Episode 317]
* * *
There was silence in the barracks for a moment.
That was when the alcohol arrived.
Jeopuk-.
The demon who came in through the barracks door brought out two glasses.
A wine as red as blood.
The demon looked at the two people and quietly took a step back.
“The Battle of the Heavenly Demons….”
“Stop.”
Diablo opened his mouth and Yuwon interrupted him.
The demon who was watching stopped walking. Diablo’s eyes twitched slightly and his frown frowned as if he was displeased.
“I have ears to hear.”
“Does not matter.”
“If anything happens, I can just kill you?”
The eyes of the demon who entered the barracks wavered.
Yuwon lifted his drink without turning his head.
“Is there even a need for that? “Get out now.”
“Yes yes!”
Even though it was not an order from their king, Diablo, the demons quickly left the barracks.
He instinctively knew that he would not be able to preserve his life if he heard the conversation coming from here.
Once again, only two people remained in the barracks.
Yuwon looked down at his drink.
“You are treated with honor. “Give me all the alcohol made with angel blood.”
“Explain what you said earlier.”
“You mean the Battle of the Heavenly Demons?”
Yuwon raised his head and made eye contact with Diablo.
And soon.
Jureuk-.
Yuwon turned his glass upside down.
Then the thick liquor in the glass fell to the floor.
“Let’s stop drinking like this now.”
“What are you doing?”
“It is as it appears.”
“I knew you weren’t afraid, but…”
Kugugugu-.
The barracks shook.
A reddish energy began to rise from Diablo’s body.
Obvious living.
“I didn’t know it would be this bad.”
Fire spewed out from Diablo’s eyes.
Yuwon’s words and actions just now were enough to provoke him.
Diablo was not very interested in the Battle of Heavenly Demon.
However, that does not mean that he does not hate angels unlike other demons, that is absolutely not the case.
Kujik Kujik-.
The chair Yuwon was sitting on dug into the floor.
Despite the weight pressing down on his body, Yuwon did not avoid Diablo’s gaze.
“The Battle of the Heavenly Demons must end.”
“I agree that it is a useless event. But you wouldn’t be so stupid that you wouldn’t know what giving up the Battle of the Heavenly Demons would mean to us, right?”
The Heavenly Demon War was the pride of the demon race and the angel race.
The meaning of war has long since faded, but war is still visible in its external form.
Giving up on it was no different from admitting defeat.
“Are you telling us to surrender to those guys now?”
“I don’t understand you.”
“what?”
“How can saying that the Battle of the Heavenly Demons disappear mean that we should surrender?”
“Aren’t you saying we should at least request a peace agreement? “That’s surrender, that’s it!”
Kwasik-!
Diablo hit the table impatiently.
In an instant, the table split in half. Diablo jumped up from his seat and glared at Yuwon with anger in his eyes.
“I would be happy if you would do that, but…”
I came here just in case, but as expected.
No matter how much I wasn’t interested in the Battle of Heavenly Demons, Diablo was the devil. There was no need for him to take the initiative and bow his head to the angels.
“If it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing we can do.”
Druk-.
Yuwon got up from his seat.
“I heard that the reason the Great War of Heavenly Demons started was trivial.”
“…?”
Diablo looked at Yuwon with furrowed eyebrows, wondering what he was talking about again.
The reason why the Cheonma War began.
That story, which was so old, was so trivial that even Diablo, who stands at the center of the Battle of Heavenly Demon, couldn’t even think of it.
“An angel and a devil drank together at a bar, and the fight that took place there ended up here.”
“Maybe… it was like that.”
“The fight that broke out over that trivial dispute ended up here just because of pride.”
“What are you trying to say again?”
“Do you think this is normal?”
In response to Yuwon’s question, Diablo recalled the beginning of the Heavenly Demon War.
okay.
The beginning was very trivial.
A time when angels and devils coexisted. It was a time when people didn’t aim their swords at each other and seek blood even though they didn’t get along well.
A fight broke out in a bar, and an angel lost his life at the hands of a devil.
It wasn’t the first time it had happened.
Even if it’s not a war, the relationship between angels and devils hasn’t been very good for a long time.
An angel killing a devil or a devil killing an angel was something that happened once in a while.
however.
‘Metatron.’
Since that guy intervened, everything has gone awry.
Metatron demanded a public apology from the demons.
In addition, under the justification that everyone’s life is equal, they demanded that the head of the devil who killed the angel be cut off and hung in the square.
It was an unacceptable demand.
Death and killing were common in this tower, and in Diablo’s opinion, there was a good reason for their fight.
Above all, the fight in the bar was a fair fight.
“It’s not normal.”
“Luckily, I know that much.”
“Metatron was set up to fight us from the beginning. “We knew that and joined the fight.”
The beginning of the Battle of the Heavenly Demons was so trivial.
However, although the beginning was small, the scale could not be said to be trivial.
The devil came forward and the archangel came forward.
And in the end, Diablo, the leader of the devil, and Metatron, the leader of the angels, came forward.
The Battle of Heavenly Demon has continued like this until now.
“Do you think this fight is meaningful?”
“It’s meaningless. For no reason, we just let go of each other. “It’s not fun.”
Diablo responded indifferently and sat down again.
I knew what Yuwon wanted, and I didn’t want to argue with him any further.
“Okay, if you’re going to talk nonsense, get out of the way now. “Unless you really want to die by my hands.”
“Then let me ask you one last question.”
“What?”
“If the angels propose a truce first, would you accept it?”
“Metatron?”
Diablo frowned.
More than anything else, I thought it was ridiculous. The Metatron he knew would never have suggested something like that.
Because, unlike an angel, the one who wanted this fight the most was Metatron.
“Don’t think about why. “I’m asking if something like that happens.”
“It’s a truce proposal…”
Diablo thought for a moment and nodded.
“I will accept it.”
An event that happens once a decade.
The Battle of the Heavenly Demons, a battle between angels and demons, has already become a battle in which the side that proposes a truce first loses.
Therefore, a ceasefire proposal is tantamount to surrender.
And Diablo was willing to accept the angels’ surrender.
“Then that’s it.”
That’s enough.
Even if I don’t end this fight first, I’m willing to stop if someone puts the brakes on it.
There was no point in persuading Diablo any longer.
Yuwon got up from his seat.
“Where are you going?”
Diablo stopped Yuwon, who was leaving the barracks, and asked.
“Are you willing to accept the surrender of angels? alone?”
“I plan to try anything.”
“Why? “You are neither an angel nor a devil.”
“That’s right. “I’m nobody but I’m like this too, so why aren’t you doing anything?”
Diablo’s eyes wavered slightly.
Yuwon, who had nothing to do with it, stepped forward to stop the Cheonma War.
And that was a great stimulus to Diablo, who had taken the war called the Battle of Heavenly Demon for granted for so many years.
Sigh-.
Yuwon left the barracks, leaving Diablo alone.
Just before.
Yuwon noticed a small change in Diablo’s reaction.
‘It seems like you know this fight is wrong.’
If I had said this much, I would have understood a little more.
Diablo was the king of a race. Although he downplayed the value of one life, he was not without responsibility for the revival and stability of a race.
‘Ten days until the start of the Heavenly Demon War.’
After leaving the barracks, Yuwon looked around to see the eyes watching him from all over.
It would be surprising to see a human mixed among the demons.
Above all, there is probably no player in this world who does not know that preparations for the Heavenly Demon War are in full swing.
‘The Battle of Heavenly Demon is slowly festering and rotting.’
It probably started out much smaller.
But they didn’t know.
The scale of the Cheonma Daejeon is getting bigger with each passing round.
It may have been just a small fight at first, but look at it now.
This is a battle in which a large number of demons and several demon lords participated. It became a fight no different from a guild battle between large guilds.
However, the Battle of Heavenly Demon did not end here.
In the future, much further than Yuwon’s present, the ‘Cheonma War’ meant only one fight.
‘A huge war in which angels and demons died together.’
The ill feelings toward each other that had built up little by little and the pride that could not be backed down had turned into a time bomb that could explode at any moment.
And if everything went according to plan, it was Heaven who would press that button.
“Once heaven became involved, the scale of the Heavenly Demon War grew in an instant. Even the Demon King can no longer tolerate it.”
‘The heavens have already fallen.’
It was for this reason that Yuwon helped Son Goku capture the Jade Emperor and destroy the heavens.
If the Jade Emperor is left alone, it will become the seed of the Great War of the Heavenly Demon in the future.
With the death of the Jade Emperor and Prince Nata, the Heavenly Kingdom was regaining its former strength, led by the Lee Langjin Army.
I don’t know if it was anyone else, but I could trust Lee Rang-jin.
If he were to do so, he probably wouldn’t commit the foolish act of participating in the Celestial Demon War at the expense of the Celestial players.
“After saving Son Goku and destroying the heavens, we have gained time. “It will probably take another thousand years, if not more, before the Great War of the Heavenly Demon occurs.”
Odin argued that in order to resolve the Great War of the Heavenly Demons, the heavens must first be destroyed together with Son Goku.
That opinion was quite plausible. Above all, there was nothing wrong with the order.
The problem was that it was too relaxed.
“You must be thinking something wrong.”
“The Great War of the Heavenly Demon is not just a battle where angels and demons are destroyed together. “Until then, those two continued to fight.”
Hercules was at the forefront of the opinion that we should not be so relaxed.
“We need to resolve it quickly. “Because time wasted only causes more blood to be shed.”
If it was urgent, it could also be seen as urgent.
There was a risk of making a mistake if you was in a hurry to avoid shedding blood.
But Yuwon seemed to agree with those words.
How many angels and demons die in a single battle with the Heavenly Demon, and how much power is lost as a result?
The resulting loss of power was fatal every time.
‘If possible, we will see the end in this episode.’
And in order to do that, there were a few things that needed to be done here as well.
“Hey there human!”
Yuwon turned his head to the loud voice calling him.
At that moment, I felt like my worries had been resolved.
“Why are you wandering around here?”
It’s so big that you might think it’s a giant. It has reddish skin and a long horn that reaches down to its waist.
‘Behemoth.’
The Demon King who is at the forefront of the hardliners who brought the Heavenly Demon War to this point.
He approached Yuwon, full of hostility.
