Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 339
77. God of Fallen Angels (2)
“There are many things happening in this world that cannot be seen according to God’s order. However, although it is God’s will, it is also not God’s will. Water flows from high places to low places. However, when it encounters a vortex, it often flows backwards. “Is that in accordance with order?”
“It is in accordance with order.”
“In that case, suspicion would also be order
. Would you suspect an evil being? Or will you believe in God’s perfection and do nothing? “Tell me, Scottiel.”
Under Lucifer’s pressure, Scottiel broke into a cold sweat.
When I thought about it, it felt like finding and eliminating evil beings was also an angel’s mission.
It’s not about doubting God.
All they are doing is questioning the disorder in front of them and trying to return it to order.
Isn’t that the way to protect God’s trust?
“I was suspicious…
I slowly opened my mouth.
At that moment, my shoulder felt burning and painful.
I turned my head and saw dozens of black scales sticking out from there.
“Karrrr!”
Lucifer’s frivolous laughter was heard.
Scottiel trembled.
The black scales on his shoulders gave off a terrible rotten smell.
I reached out and grabbed them. He pulled it out without the slightest hesitation.
Pieces of flesh were torn off. Dark red blood covered his shoulders.
These black scales are a symbol of corruption.
Falling for Lucifer’s few words, the feathers of corruption grew on Skatiel’s body.
Scottiel felt afraid at her strangeness.
Is she really an angel?
Or….
“You’re having doubts again. “You worthless child.”
“sorry. “ I won’t have any doubts anymore
.”
“God’s order is absolute. Even if it is in an incomprehensible form, judge for yourself and do not doubt. That is the first road to corruption. “Believe, believe, believe again.”
“Thank you for the great lesson.”
“Then follow me. I will explain to you the fundamental concept of the Four Gods. Use it to make weapons for humans.”
“Deus may distribute the weapons to the demons as well.”
Lucifer
smiled faintly at the word demon.
But he soon erased that expression and opened his mouth.
“Does not matter. In the end, it will be humans who use this weapon properly. Demons are not as cunning as humans. They only know how to eat meat by force. “This world will belong to humans, its true owners.”
It was an unexpected answer.
I heard that Lucifer sacrificed himself as Demiu Regos because he cared about the demons.
Yet you talk about human victory as a given.
Scottiel quietly bowed his head, erasing such questions from his mind.
“All right. “I will do as you command me.”
Zeke stopped by Verde Castle for the first time in a long time.
The time I was away without any explanation took longer than I expected.
The initial goal was to find Nezar and divert Deus’ attention.
The biggest goal was to not give the assassination group Regin participated a chance to attack Deus
.
Now the problem has been largely resolved.
Deus summoned the Demon King’s castle above the royal palace.
Although it was just an illusion, it was a trap made with the devil’s magic, so there was no way for an ordinary human to break it.
Deus built the castle and promised a war eight years later.
Now, all kingdoms were busy preparing for that war and raising zero generation warriors.
As for the assassination squad thing, it’s half a blur.
Cadenza has now returned to his position as an instructor and is doing his best to train the new Zodiac Knight.
Regin was also fulfilling his role, belonging half to the Kingdom and half to the Zodiac Knights.
“older brother.”
Regin visited the training center of the White Dragon Knights.
Regin, who was wiping his sweat, was surprised and ran to Zeke.
“What happened? “There has been no contact for over a month… Do you know what happened in that time?”
“huh. know. “It seems like the devil has issued a warning to the kingdom.”
“yes. A huge mass of magic power has been summoned to the castle. “They said that if the war comes to the Demon World after 8 years, they will blow it up.”
“I heard.”
Regin sighed briefly.
“It must be your brother’s skill.”
“Half right and half wrong. “The decision is ultimately up to him.”
Meanwhile, the White Dragon Knights at the training ground were whispering about Zeke’s appearance.
In any sense, Zeke
was a living legend.
If Regin achieved remarkable results as a top-class knight, Zeke was able to sum it up in one word.
The one who killed the Demon King.
No matter how I tried to disparage that record, I couldn’t.
Although he was once accused of being an abuser and ostracized by the Seonghwangcheong government, his reputation only grew.
And the moment my sins were forgiven, my interest in Zeke exploded.
A courageous knight stepped forward and spoke to Zeke.
“Lord Zeke! Please teach us some sword techniques.”
The White Dragon Knights were a kingdom knighthood.
They were secretly envious after hearing that the Yellow Dragon Knights had learned a lot from Regin and Zeke during the previous expedition.
“I know this is a rude request. However, just seeing The Ender’s skills will be of great help to the knights here.”
Zeke said, scratching his head.
“There is no such thing as great swordsmanship to show
.”
“These are words of humility.”
Regin nudged his brother’s back.
“Please show me. “I’ve always bragged about my brother so much that everyone seems to have been curious.”
Zeke eventually nodded.
“All right. It’s not a big deal, but since everyone wants it, I’ll draw my sword.”
The sword he pulled out was too ugly to be that of a warrior.
Demon sword Asmodeus.
It was a demonic sword that swallowed the blood of warriors and released magical power.
As expected, seeing it again in a place like this filled my ears.
Many of the knights here were Half Blood warriors.
Although it was thin, the warrior’s blood was clearly flowing and the demon energy was immediately noticeable.
One of them asked as if shouting.
“Isn’t that a magic sword?”
“That’s right.”
“It is indeed The Ender! “You stole the demon sword from the demon world!”
Looking at the good side, there was no end to it.
Zeke smiled and held out his sword.
I thought for a moment about what to do.
Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I abandoned things like swordsmanship.
It was impossible to inflict any damage by simply applying force to the blade and attacking the opponent.
Because Zeke’s current opponents were beings that went far beyond common sense.
The most recent inspiration I gained was Deus’ ‘The Sera’.
Can people here really understand that?
Zeke slashed his sword straight from top to bottom.
The waves of air swirling around suddenly quieted down.
The breeze stopped.
Even the downy felt calm.
Some knights with keen senses looked around.
I felt something happened, but I couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Regin was the only one who understood.
He said, looking at Zeke with an expression of admiration
.
“This is what DS is.”
“that’s right.”
“20 meter radius? No… it looks like a space of almost 50 meters is completely controlled by the sword.”
“Distance is meaningless. Rather, what is important is understanding.”
“You understand the wind, right?”
“It is like that now. heaven and earth gods and humans angels and demons. Magic and technology. You have to accept everything as it comes. Preconceptions are your biggest enemy. “Once you open your heart, you will see a bigger world.”
Regin lowered his head.
“Thank you for the teachings.”
“There is no need to be too polite between your older brother and younger brother.”
Meanwhile, the drivers looked like they had no idea what the two were talking about.
Zeke scratched his cheek under their gaze.
I regret that I shouldn’t have shown a moderately flashy swordsmanship.
Zeke moved to his seat and had an audience with the queen.
Since we used the garden tea time sponsored by the patron, the atmosphere was not that of a king and a subject, but it was not a very comfortable atmosphere either.
April’s expression has never been brighter lately.
Maybe that day.
It must have been since she found out that her real enemy was Deus.
Zeke secretly shook his head.
Why did the angel teach Queen April the truth?
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Raguel’s alter ego lately.
Where are you and what are you doing…
“Lord Zeke.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Tell me. “How can we win the war eight years from now?”
Regin interrupted his wife.
“We decided not to talk about that here.”
“Even when I fall asleep, I come out of my dream. When I open my eyes, I hear a voice. “His Majesty the late King is complaining of a wrongful death. What should I do?”
Regin sighed.
I already knew that my wife was suffering from nightmares.
It got even worse after being defeated in the last Demon World expedition and losing half of the knights.
Perhaps regret was expressed that way.
Zeke spoke in a quiet voice.
“your majesty. “No, Mr. Jesu.”
Until now, Zeke has never called April anything other than “Your Majesty.”
Although she was said to be her brother’s wife, she was polite because she was the king of a country.
April was startled by Zeke’s words.
“I think this will be the first and last time I’ll ever say something like this. “How about stopping at this level?”
“ I said,
“I know. “The late King lost his life at the hands of Deus O”
“Are you telling me to stop taking revenge?”
“no. “It’s about stopping the hate.”
“How can I not hate the person who killed my father?”
“We killed his father.”
“His father fought with our ancestors.”
“And our ancestor killed his ancestor. “Who on earth was wronged by whom?”
“Are you planning to side with the demons?”
“no. This isn’t about taking anyone’s side. I’m talking about who will stop this stupid thing first. Who on earth has to die for you to be satisfied? Me, Regin, Signy, Migo, and Berl. “Even if everyone is dead and their corpses are in front of you,
do you think you will still have the strength to hate anyone?”
Queen April’s expression became pale.
“Eight years later. If there is a war, I will be at the forefront of the human army along with Regin Signi. No one can touch a single hem of Deus’s clothes without us. A human army, no matter how many it has, is of no help. If we join forces… maybe we can defeat Lord Deus… but will the warrior saint who fought the Demon King be able to survive?”
Zeke spoke again to her, whose expression was distorted in pain.
“Once we are all dead, who will you take revenge on and how?”
“stop! I swore “What should I do with that oath?”
“Don’t you already know the answer?”
“Demons are our enemies. Have you forgotten that
?”
“Are you planning on hating and fighting each other forever?”
“That is man’s mission.”
“No one said it was a mission. “God
couldn’t have ordered a war with demons.”
“Do you mean for humans to measure the words of God?”
Zeke shook his head.
“no. “Listen to God. Is hate really His word?”
“Evil deserves to be hated.”
“We killed as many demons as the humans that the demons killed.”
