Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 338
77. God of Fallen Angels ⑴
Raguel fell after Babel was taken away.
That means…
Yulgeum’s eyebrows furrowed.
She was putting her hand somewhere.
That place is Raguel’s upper chest.
It was right above the heart. A light strong enough to break through the restraints was emitted there.
The emblem of a cross closely attached to a round circle.
The three archangels opened their mouths at the same time.
“ANKH…
“Is it life?”
Deus looked at the pattern as if he was interested.
Zeke asked Deus.
“What is that?”
“It’s an ancient cross that symbolizes life. “I just read it in an old article.”
“The ancient cross… then it is a sacred text.”
“yes. “ But only if it has life
.”
“What do you mean?”
“Life is the exclusive property of beings with bodies. To humans, that would be God’s text, but to angels it wouldn’t be. it is not so?”
The last direction Deus asked was Yulgeum.
Yulgeum sighed with a bitter expression.
“Ankh is the life of the body. For angels, who are immortal spirits, life actually means mortality, or death. “It looks like someone placed a death curse on her.”
The teacup has cooled.
No one put their mouth to the tea.
Feeling burdened by that heavy atmosphere, Zeke glanced at his face several times.
Raziel’s body also had the Ankh symbol.
In her case it was below her navel.
Both were places where others could not see them without permission.
“Not the armpits.”
This is what Deus said after breaking the silence.
“It’s a magic that corrupts archangels. “Is that possible?”
Kamael smiled bitterly as he asked the question while looking at the two seniors.
“It was common a long time ago.”
” yes?”
“It was a really long time ago, though.”
“Kamael!”
Yulgeum interrupted her.
But Kamael continued talking.
“This is a story from when we were still gods of Earth. When the Lord came to us, we
thought of Him as an insignificant god. Some of the gods fought against the angels who first became messengers of God, while others ignored them. There are cases where he boasts of his strength and instead tries to be beaten as a subordinate. But in the end, they gave in and one by one they became angels. “At that time, the gods who still did not believe in the Lord tried to subdue the lesser gods who had become angels through Ankh’s curse.”
“It happened before I was even born.” Kamael nodded at Hamiel’s words.
“that’s right. It can’t even be called the Old Testament… It’s a really old story. “This was before humans had even
achieved civilization.”
“It seems like the gods also went to war.” Kamael laughed at Deus’ words.
“We were just like humans. “Because it was before flowering.”
“God came down and everyone opened their eyes. What is this?”
” that’s right.”
“Are you saying the culprit is an angel from that era?”
“I can’t necessarily say that. “You can’t be sure that it wasn’t passed down secretly to future generations, right?”
“is it?”
“Otherwise, the culprit will be narrowed down to one Lucifer.”
Hamiel was startled by what Kamael suddenly said.
“You mean Lucifer?” Yulgeum glanced at Kamael.
“Don’t talk about that here.”
“What do you think? Miel Miel should also be included in the group. The more there are on our side, the better, right? “Because Lucifer is not the only enemy.”
” yes?”
Hamiel made a surprised sound again.
“Who else is corrupting the angels?”
“Michael. “Master of Flambe.”
“That can’t be right!”
Hamiel frowned.
“The angels of the New Testament are angels created by the word of the Lord. “There is no way they would make a wrong decision.”
“It’s a mess, isn’t it?”
Kamael said with a smile, but Hamiel could not smile.
Yulgeum said.
“It’s all just an assumption. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
They are not the only ones who know about Ankh’s curse. There must be quite a few among the lower-level angels. Or they are ancient gods who may have been hiding somewhere in this world for a long time.”
Deus took a gulp of tea.
“There is no need to expand the scope of the investigation. For now, we just need to keep an eye on Nezar. “Now that you have become the Emperor of the Universe, you will be able to sing to your heart’s content.”
Kamael said.
“Let’s leave that to Mielmiel. She is an angel of the universe. “All of the outer space where humans exist is under her throne
.”
Hamiel nodded.
“Do not worry. “You will never fall victim to him again.”
“be careful. Always moving as a corps. “One Belt One Road has already surpassed the power of the Archangel.”
Hamiel nodded at Kamael’s words.
Deus said.
“Anyway, since I won the bet, why don’t you give me the blueprint for the Shinigami Beast?”
Yulgeum snorted.
“You don’t remember making a bet?”
“Are you going to be rude?”
“What are you planning to do by spraying that on humans?”
Deus answered Kamael’s question casually.
“We will evolve humanity.”
“Evolution?”
Kamael tilted his head and Deus opened his mouth again.
“So much so that angels cannot touch it. “At least we have to show that possibility.”
“That’s… you’re trying to provoke Michael.”
“that’s right. That guy probably isn’t trying to destroy God’s order. That guy’s scheme is harder to understand than Lucifer’s. Nezar’s goal is to become the emperor of the universe. “We can get away with it to some extent by saying, ‘Lucifer is a devil.’ Why is Michael showing up?”
There was no one who could answer that question.
Michael attempted to exterminate the demons by manipulating humans. But why did they do that?
After a while, Zeke slowly opened his mouth.
“Perhaps he too was… corrupted. “Maybe you’re tired of order, like Raziel.”
Even Yulgeum could not refute those words.
“It is said that we have decided to treat you as His Majesty, the Emperor of the Universe.”
Scatiel lowered his head and spoke politely, while slightly raising his eyes to look at his lord’s expression.
indeed.
It was a face so perplexed that it was hard to see these days.
“He admitted defeat?”
” yes.”
“Is the chaos over already? Babel will still be in Nezar’s hands!”
“That’s right.”
Michael narrowed his brows and stroked the pommel of his favorite bottle, Flambe.
He seemed to be deep in thought.
“This is the worst outcome.”
“I’m sorry.”
“What is wrong with you? Humans have stayed in one place for too long. “Even with the protection of our angels,
we were unable to slay even one of the demons’ henchmen… The current fixation is ultimately due to the weakness of humans.”
Michael looked down at the floor with narrowed eyes and opened his mouth again.
“Scatiel.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Did you say he took on the Four Gods of Death?”
” yes.”
“That’s too much of a
“yes.” “But it is a powerful force
that commands
humanity to help create a certain sense
.”
I guess it will help you increase your strength.
Humans today are so weak that they don’t even have the strength to walk on paths that lead to distant places. Scottiel, I will introduce you to a being. Learn from him how to manufacture weapons at a level suitable for today’s humanity.”
“What kind of being is it?”
“It has helped me a lot so far. “He too is looking at the same place as me.”
The moment Scottiel heard Michael’s explanation, he felt an ominous feeling.
And that premonition turned out to be correct.
“His name is Lucifer. “One of the oldest angels.”
“Lucifer… do you know where he is?”
“Of course.”
“But he…
“He escaped his own karma. When Mahon died, he came back as an angel. He is no longer Demiur Goth. I have regained my original name, Lucifer, the Angel of Dawn.”
“Does he also want to evolve humanity?”
“Of course. All angels
are dreaming the same dream. For the beings of this world we manage to rise to higher heights. That is the dream and goal of angels. Just the method is different. “The choice is between waiting and leading.”
—Is that God’s will?
Scottiel swallowed the thought that had just occurred to him.
Michael, one of the four great angels of the New Testament, could not have gone astray.
You should not dare to doubt yourself as you are only his left angel.
“Lucifer is the Heavenly Angel who created the Death Beast
. “He will completely solve your problems.”
“Where is he now?”
“Go to the moon. He will lead the way thereafter.”
Scatiel arrived on the moon according to his master’s orders.
Thanks to the absence of Hamiel, the angel of outer space, I was able to move more easily.
The moon was showing a different appearance to the Earth than in the past. This was because the axis of rotation was slightly twisted while Deus and Zeke were preventing the fall.
Scottiel found traces of a struggle on the moon. The center of the huge plain was caved in by a strong external force.
It seemed like that was where Deus and Zeke pushed the moon away.
I heard the story, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I burst out laughing.
When I got off there, a tombstone caught my eye.
– Deus and 2 others. Save the world from the fall of the moon.
-The moonlight is not visible, but
it is clearly shining.
—For your information, this is my land, so if you touch it, you will die.
If you touch it, you’ll die. I burst out laughing again.
“The moon was taken away in the blink of an eye.”
Scottiel turned his head in surprise at the voice he heard.
A black-haired angel. Lucifer was there.
Scottiel quickly bowed his head to show respect. Meanwhile,
I looked at her closely.
She was a girl who appeared to be about twelve years old.
Her jet black short hair was spread out like a lion’s mane.
The impression was sharp. The moment Scottiel looked into her eyes, a person came to mind.
Deus. It was indeed the face of a distant ancestor of the Demiurges.
“Was playing with fairies fun?”
“I am so sorry. “I am just following my master’s orders.”
“I guess you have no selfish intentions.”
” yes.”
“thank god. “You will not be corrupted.”
Lucifer laughed.
The moment Scottiel saw that small smile, he thought of Deus again.
she is the devil
He was a being more suited to the position of the Demon King than anyone else.
Even the way he spoke, his hand movements, and even his breathing were demonic.
If you look at the facts, it would be the opposite.
It’s not that she resembles the Demon King, but the Demon King resembles her.
Because Demiurge was a clone of herself that she created.
“Your eyes are full of suspicion.”
“sorry. However, you are mistaken. “It’s my fault my eyes are like this, but I don’t doubt it.”
“It’s okay to have doubts. “It is the same as the instinct of living people.”
“An angel must not doubt. “You can remain an angel only if you believe that God created this world in order.”
“Just because you doubt something doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t believe it.”
“I can not understand.”
“What would you do if you saw water flowing backwards before your eyes? Would you believe that God made it that way and not doubt it? What evil being would suspect that something was breaking the law?”
“ …That
means, “Tell me. Will you foolishly believe? Will you doubt and achieve divine order?”
“I…
Scatiel couldn’t answer easily.
