Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 469
Episode 469:
The highest species of monster in the underworld.
For such a person to say his or her pledge to become a grand duke.
The Archduke is said to be the pinnacle of the lower world.
Proclaiming that he will become the only supreme king of the underworld.
It is not unknown that there is a huge gap between the two.
If these words reached the ears of other archdukes.
If such a hint is detected, there is a high possibility that it will be subject to intensive checks.
However, the person who said that was Lucifer.
It didn’t sound absurd.
“….”
Cody Cruz looked at Lucifer in silence.
He looked at the past master of the First Heaven Realm and the current Lower Realm Grand Duke.
‘What am I?’
If it is a memory or a personality, it has returned before.
Still, the reason I didn’t open my mouth was because I wasn’t sure yet.
‘What am I?’
Am I human or a monster?
Is it American player Cody Cruz?
God who has been destroyed.
The arrogant archduke.
Lower and upper world.
Is this a toy made to covet Earth, which can be called the home planet?
Cody Cruz’s sunken eyes trembled.
Lucifer’s red eyes met Cody Cruz’s, alternating between blue and red eyes.
[It’s truly a coincidence. The body, which had been unable to overcome the wall until now, is finally overcoming its limits.]
In the end, it was not the body that had to be destroyed, but the mind.
I smiled benevolently at my contractor’s growth.
[Cody Cruz. God’s contractor. You will become the only being who is neither a human nor a monster nor an Elyos.]
It was said that this would be the beginning of a new human race that only exists in the world.
[New humanity…]
Cody Cruz spoke those words in the language of monsters.
His mouth wouldn’t open no matter what he did.
It opened easily, as if he had been waiting for me to say these words.
[I guess I understand now.]
Lucifer burst out laughing with a cheerful expression.
Uncontrolled magical power and divine power overflowed from the assimilated body of Cody Cruz.
King of the underworld.
A person who has overcome the limitations of the insignificant species called humans.
A person chosen by God to walk the path of the King of the Underworld.
therefore.
[God Slayer.]
An odd being who became a God Slayer.
Lucifer knew.
The Underworld King wants the key he has chosen to surpass himself through the arrangements he has made.
In doing so, I hope to produce results that are different from yours.
However.
[The guy was wrong.]
The upper world cannot be brought to its knees with such old-fashioned methods.
I can’t even protect my home planet, and the underworld will once again lose the race war.
Therefore, he said that he would usurp the king’s position and create a new era.
Ssssss.
His eyes turned into completely blue eyes.
I saw through the conflicting forces flowing through my contractor’s body.
[When I first met him, he was just the pinnacle of the human species. [I was just a fool who didn’t know my own insignificance.]
Afterwards, I added magical power equivalent to that of an archduke and divine power equivalent to that of an absolute being.
Thus, an unprecedented species was born.
A slayer who can hunt the Archduke and even the Absolute.
However, they are not the ones to hunt right now.
[Kim Tae-hyun.]
The key chosen by the King of Hagye.
Before hunting him down, it was necessary to check how well the new power was established.
[Let the ‘guys’ in.]
Lucifer’s words were conveyed to the members waiting at the Sky Castle.
After a while.
Quaaaaa.
Four humans appeared through the gate connecting the Sky Castle and the Sky Castle.
[Great Duke….]
[Obey to your master….]
[Master of Heaven….]
[….]
Lucifer’s blue eyes scanned the newly collected test subjects.
Kasim Jort, Jeongjae Lee, Ryuusbo, Jihong Min.
They were all experimental subjects closely related to the Archduke’s magical power.
Lee Jeong-jae and Kasim Jort, who originally shared one body, were separated into two bodies again by the power of Lucifer.
Ryusbo was a guy captured alive when they were attacking the demon tribe.
Mamon, who became the Grand Duke, was unable to let go of his attachment to Earth, so he kept him alive.
and.
[You still don’t show respect.]
Lucifer said, looking at Min Ji-hong, who did not hide the hostility in her eyes.
Min Ji-hong, who trembled once, bowed his head deeply.
[I will sacrifice my life to the Master of the Underworld.]
Lucifer laughed at the loyalty shown in his trembling voice.
This is because I knew that the hostility shown by Min Ji-hong was directed towards my contractor.
[It’s really difficult.]
We captured the so-called anti-aircraft contractors and modified them to suit our tastes.
Kasim Zort studied the power of Beelzebub and reached the level of the Great Devil.
Lee Jeong-jae can be considered a spare contract player after being encroached upon by Kassim Jort.
Min Ji-hong, who deeply accepted the power of Orgal and entered the state of the highest species.
The ancient great demons Mephisto and Asura, and Ryusbo, revived by Mamon, who awakened as the Demon King.
From Lucifer’s point of view, these are things that would fall away with a single wave of his hand.
The origin was all fun toys.
Igmun’s contractor, Zhang Linfeng, was killed by Kim Taehyun.
Hazard’s contractor, Asisat Ebi, was unable to capture it because it was hidden in a rare.
Taehyun Kim.
Except for the one who is the key to the Underworld King and Rosaria’s contractor, all the contractors have been collected.
It was possible to drive out the magic in his body and make him his contractor, but Lucifer didn’t do such a foolish thing.
Because they are mere toys, not finished goods like Cody Cruise.
If we were to compare it to human play, it would be like playing chess for entertainment.
Those chess pieces were showing their intent towards their contractor.
Puh heh.
At Lucifer’s laughter, the four contractors except Cody Cruz quit their bets.
[Plunder and struggle. And betrayal. Humans enjoy that kind of thing.]
Lucifer spoke as if criticizing those who were once human but are no longer human.
[Give me what you want.]
[I will sacrifice my life to follow.]
[I will sacrifice the world and the earth.]
[….]
It was not easy to hold back laughter at the obvious obedience.
[That’s not what God wants.]
It’s not you you guys should serve.
Lucifer saw Cody Cruz.
[….]
[….]
[….]
[….]
All of them were demons, so they were ordered to become the limbs of the person who is said to be the pinnacle of players.
That was why Min Ji-hong, who had deeper beliefs than any of the four demons, was showing his will to die.
[I’ll give you a chance.]
Show your strength.
Prove your worth.
Then, he said, the last person left would be the new contractor.
Chii Iik.
Chi profit.
Chii Iik.
Quad deuk.
The Four Mines unleashed their magical powers that had been strengthened by Lucifer’s experiment.
Although their power was no less than that of the Great Devil.
Tiring.
[Skill Falling Angel (???) has been activated.]
[Skill Holy Sword – Balmung (???) has been activated. Specifies the shape.]
Tsuzuzuzuzu.
Cody Cruz, clad in gray magic, quietly raised his sword.
Only maintaining physical strength and weapon implementation against four anti-aircraft contractors who have reached the realm of the Great Devil.
[indeed. It is the arrogance of a contract of God.]
Lucifer was satisfied.
* * *
The game was as expected.
There was no need to use the power of regeneration.
Min Ji-hong was the last.
Suddenly.
With one sword, the body of the highest level demonic beast was torn apart.
It was an incident that put the power of Ganghwa to shame.
thud.
[….]
Cody Cruz took a look at the four main characters that could not be played.
Even so for Lee Jeong-jae and Liu Shibo.
Kasim Jort and Min Ji-hong are players that Cody Cruz was unable to capture.
Thanks to Lucifer’s pranks, he gained power that was unparalleled in the past, but he defeated them with an overwhelming margin without even a fight.
A pair of red eyes turned to Lucifer.
his magic. It was different from when he assimilated with his divine power and overwhelmed Mammon and Horus.
He was not able to deal with two great demons at the same time alone.
Now, those gigantic beings felt like mere insects.
[You’ve grown.]
Lucifer congratulated Cody Cruz on his victory.
[What are you going to do?]
His eyes turned to the four demons who had their limbs severed and were lying on the floor.
Should I dispose of it as is or use it as a chess piece?
The choice was handed over to Cody Cruz.
[Magic power and spiritual power. Grand Duke and Absolute. Now that you have encountered them all, you would know.]
Now, answer.
Lucifer urged.
[….]
The thought did not last long.
A considerable period of silence.
Things I thought about while moving and watching on the front lines of the turf war.
[Humans are weak.]
So.
[We will cause them to become extinct.]
After extinction, new humans like themselves will rule the underworld.
New humans who have escaped from Earth will dominate the lower world and subordinate the upper world.
I am not a weak person who relies on players or anything like that.
A new species will take it all.
so.
[You will become my sword and be wielded, and your past mistakes will be washed away.]
Quaaaaa.
Cody Cruz’s gray magic engulfed the Four Mines.
The power of regeneration was activated and they recovered in an instant.
[Go to Earth.]
So he ordered everything to be destroyed.
[Correct.]
Lucifer watched his fallen contractor with satisfaction.
* * *
10 heavenly realms.
[Horus has disappeared?]
Osiris roared.
It’s not just because they’re blood relatives.
Unlike other guys, this guy was born with a special trait called ‘Moon Eyes’.
moon eye.
If you look at it in isolation, is it just a common grab by the absolute?
Former lord of the 10 heavens.
It was important to be able to control its power.
Even though he suppressed the complaints of other Absolutes and handed over the ‘Eye of the Sun’ that he had worked hard to obtain.
[In the underworld… disappeared? Anubis too?]
[…Yes.]
Another absolute being of the 10 heavens and a blood relative of Osiris.
Set bowed his head.
[Lucifer, you bastard….]
Osiris mentioned Lucifer and unleashed enormous divine power.
The last traces of the two Absolutes were discovered in Lucifer’s realm.
Set’s report was probably not wrong.
[What about ‘eyes’?]
Set bowed his head even deeper in response to his lord’s question.
The ‘Moon Eyes’ possessed by Horus.
And I didn’t know that it was all referring to the ‘eyes of the sun’ that were being digested.
Silence was the answer.
[this… You stupid bastards…!!]
[….]
Set calmly received Osiris’ anger with his body.
I know that the current reaction is not just because I lost two absolute beings.
The ten heavenly realms are ruled by Osiris and Obelisk, divided about 7 to 3 respectively.
Osiris is the external master of the heavens, but it is difficult to regard him as a complete master.
Horus was an absolute being with enough potential to keep Obelisk in check in the future.
That possibility disappeared due to Lucifer’s trick.
[I guess he took on the Absolute to elevate himself.]
This is the guy who colluded with the King of the Lower World and pointed his sword at the Upper World.
Osiris spoke as if the thoughts of the fallen were obvious.
If he regains his strength and aims for Sanggye again, the cause will be himself.
It was already clear what the other heavenly masters would look like.
They say he has mysterious eyes and that’s the reason why he comes and goes.
[You idiot.]
Osiris once again cursed his extinct blood relatives.
[At least the eyes must come back.]
[Order.]
[To deal with Lucifer, the Absolute One of the Ten Heavens is not enough.]
[…What if?]
[Contact Odin.]
This is not a race war.
Only to regain the eyes stolen by Lucifer and restore honor.
[It’s revenge.]
