Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 344
78. The Demon King Corrupts (3)
Zeke dug in and stabbed the sword into his chest. The heart stopped for a moment and blood spurted out.
It seemed like a fatal blow. However, Zeke waited cautiously inside the shield.
The Demon King was close to immortality.
Even if your heart grows in two, you won’t die easily. Because he knew that fact, Zeke actually increased his tension.
just as expected. Deus’ fierce blow struck from the depths of death.
Deus’ magical energy was inserted into Zeke’s shield.
Even with Suzaku’s protection, the shield was almost folded in half.
Unable to bear it, Zeke eventually took a step back.
The opponent gave no opportunity. Deus’s powerful side effects continued to unfold. Zeke gritted his teeth to endure the repeated blows.
My hand exploded. His face was torn by the wind pressure and his armor was dented and broken in various places
.
Blue Dragon and Suzaku did their best to become Zeke’s armor and protect him. Thanks to their activities, human Zeke was able to save his life.
If Zeke had been alone, I would have ended up getting hit here.
But Zeke had a friend. Also, my younger sister is more reliable than anyone else.
Signi’s protective magic enveloped Zeke. Light like angel wings embraced him.
Deus’ attacks became more intense.
They engaged in a fierce battle with the intention of crushing SIGNI’s protective shield.
All the spirits of Deus gathered around Zeke and Signy.
It was Yulgeum’s moment to step forward.
She produced pea-sized grains. The tiny particle was trapped in a vacuum space with an intense magnetic field.
The name of the particle is antiproton.
It wasn’t that difficult to hit that small bead right in the center of Deus’ back.
The moment the vacuum capsule was peeled off, the particles caused a huge explosion.
Although the body of the Demon King was extremely strong, the placenta was broken and tattered.
Yulgeum shouted.
“Now! “Let’s use the magic of SIGNI’s Sanctuary Jade!”
“But even then…
“Think about how to get him back later! “Now it’s time to lock them up first!”
“Four!”
Following Yulgeum’s orders, Signi memorized the magic.
Five gems the size of a fist were broken off to be used as catalysts. It was because her magic was taken away.
Even the richest person in the world would not have been able to withstand this magic because it was processed in the mines of Rosdia.
“I know that the only people loved by God are those who believe. I believe it. “I trust only in my Lord!”
Signi put her hands together in prayer.
A silver whip rose from the sacred ground she created on the ground.
The body of the Demon King, who had suffered a severe blow from Yulgeum’s magic, was wrapped around the whip and dragged into the ground.
Sanctuary Limbo was a prison that confined demons.
Because he was a demon lord, it was even more fatal. It was not easy to destroy the sacred whip that preyed on the magic spirit itself with any force.
Deus’s roar echoed across the ground, and his sharp fingertips scratched the ground, leaving long scratches.
But in the end, the devil was trapped in purgatory.
Signi shouted while looking at Yulgeum.
“I can’t last much longer!”
“don’t worry. “I will help you.”
Yulgeum immediately memorized a new spell.
The idea was to create a new temple to confine the Demon King who was sealed by divine magic.
The gate opened and the silver prison was sucked into the gate.
The violent atmosphere dominated by Deus has barely subsided.
It was as if nothing had ever been here to begin with.
Yulgeum took a long sigh and looked around.
Zeke was seen receiving treatment from Signy
.
If it weren’t for him…
humanity would definitely have perished. By Demon King Deus.
“Can I hear what’s going on now?”
As Zeke asked, Yulgeum quietly opened the gate.
A huge beast is trapped in ice.
It is an illusion created by Ma Young-gi. A three meter tall giant with broken horns and black wings stood in the ice like the shadow of Deus.
Yulgeum, who succeeded in trapping him in eternal ice, named this sutra the Diamond Sutra.
Yulgeum held a funeral in front of the
eternally flawless diamond brain jade .
“I got hit hard.”
Zeke asked back, taking his eyes off Deus, who was trapped in the transparent ore.
“To whom?”
“Who do you think it is?”
“It’s probably not Nezar… Could it be ‘he’?”
“How much does Zeke know?”
“It may be difficult to say everything, but after working as a bartender for a long time, I have heard quite a few things.”
“You probably know Lucifer’s name.”
“Demiurge I?”
“okay.”
“They say it was he who created the devil and even the hero.”
“Every existence has two sides.”
“And angels?”
“Because the angels of the Old Testament were spirits of this earth. Like everything living and breathing on this earth, they also have good and evil. On the other hand, the angels of the New Testament are not. Beings created to serve God. “They are real angels in the purest sense of the word.”
Yulgeum continued speaking while looking at Deus trapped in the crystal.
“Demiurge is the name of a false god. A fake god who thinks he is a god, but is actually a puppet god in a false world. “There was a religion that had the doctrine that
he would realize the truth and become a true god .”
“Why did Lucifer give the Demon King the name of that false god?”
“Who knows what’s inside it? “He would have taken the selfish and evil parts of himself to create Demiurge and gathered the good parts to embody a warrior.”
“But the warrior is not particularly good or anything.”
“That’s right. Since it is a family, there are many warriors who form a group and act like Toho. On the contrary, those guys are G-class or D-class, so it’s easy for them to get the top positions.”
“Because I have money, I get a better education. You can get a better job, find better colleagues, and solve better requests…
“That’s human. “A warrior is a being who stands between humans and Lucifer, so he has two sides.”
“Humans are selfish.”
“Every living thing is like that. Because you can only know your own feelings. Realizing harmony and order ultimately means learning those things. “To humbly feel my limitations, be satisfied within them, and practice to become a better me.”
“Do you mean that is the heart of a hero?”
“This applies not only to warriors but also to angels. Angels are not gods. He was once revered as a god, but weak beings misunderstood and served him. That’s why the old gods did pitiful things like punishing non-believers and accepting sacrifices. They forced obedience and appointed priests to lead the crowd, but the only teachings they could give them were simple moral laws such as not to kill and not to steal from others. “We just suppressed it with fear without any vision
that would lead us to a higher spiritual world .”
“Did you do the same, Yulgeum?”
“okay. “There were times when I thought I was God.”
“Who is the real God?”
Yulgeum looked at Zeke for a while.
And then he slowly opened his mouth.
“Can Zeke understand?”
“It seems like a difficult story, doesn’t it?”
“Well…”
“It’s hard to understand, but I’m confident I can listen well.”
Yulgeum said with a smile.
“God is not a person. There’s no way he has a personality. “He is the master of all worlds, but he cannot resemble any one being.”
“ah!”
“If you think, speak, and move like a human, you can be a human god and not a grass god. There must be separate gods of trees, gods of stars, gods of darkness, and gods of light.”
“Then does He resemble the universe?”
“That’s right. It will happen. Actually, I don’t know either. Because what I saw
was a god who resembled me. When I was able to see myself fully, I realized that the scope of my perception did not extend beyond me. It is my illusion that I understand the world. That wasn’t even my perception. I couldn’t see what I didn’t see and I couldn’t hear what I didn’t hear. “When I found out, I saw God for the first time.”
“I couldn’t see what I didn’t see… That’s right. But I feel like I’ve seen and experienced a lot just from the stories I’ve always heard.”
“No matter how detailed a landscape painting
I saw, what I saw was a landscape painting, not the landscape itself. In the end, my perception cannot go beyond myself. That is the limit of existence. But those with great power are often mistaken. My boundaries have expanded to include what I own. The same goes for minor gods. “I try to manipulate the world as I want, thinking I am omniscient and omnipotent, but boundaries have always existed.”
“Babel!”
“huh?”
“It’s a barbell that can overcome that!”
“You’re smart.”
“It looks like it’s simply a machine that can go a long way.”
“It is true that it is a machine that can go a long way. Because the mind is not separate from the body. Senses come into me through the body. Being able to go far with your body also means freedom of mind. “Because you can see things you couldn’t see before.”
“I guess just being able to go far can awaken me.” “
Whose enlightenment will be deeper:
the old villager who has never left his castle or the young merchant who has traveled a lot ?”
“Humanity… would be humbled to know that there is a world further away.”
“There is no need to fight. “You will learn the meaninglessness of fighting over a small piece of gold in this narrow space.”
“That’s a barbell.”
“that’s right.”
“The warp gates made by Deus will play the same role.”
“It will be like that for a very short time.”
“If we connect all the universes with a barbell… I wish all the universes could live in the same space and time.”
“He is a god himself.”
” yes?”
“That is the God you have realized.”
“Then what about God…
“There is not one God. But not many. No one can understand the full face of God. Because we can only see and feel what we perceive.”
“It is not wrong to say that there is a God in all of us.”
” that’s right.”
“Then I guess that’s what Raguel misunderstood. But why did people like Raguel and
Raziel make such a mistake?”
Yulgeum laughed.
“That illusion is an illusion.”
“yes?”
“What you are listening to right now is my God.”
“yes?”
“They must have had their gods. “It couldn’t bear to be distorted and became corrupted.”
“Yes•
“Isn’t it difficult?”
“Honestly, I have no idea what you’re talking about
.”
“Yes, that is your god.”
“Yes•
“The god of Lucifer, the god of Michael, the god of Kamael. Everything will be different. But we all know that’s just one side of being. That is why we are angels who serve one God.”
“Is that okay?”
“well?”
Seeing Yulgeum smiling made Zeke even more confused.
Zeke looked at SIGNI next to him.
She was smiling calmly. Maybe she knows more than she does, but listening to her story won’t change anything.
Because that’s not what I felt.
It seems that this is the God that Yulgeum speaks of.
In the end, we had no choice but to guess even God in light of us.
Some people will make a wish to become richer. Someone else will beg to win a woman’s heart.
But that origin is not wrong. That is not a false god. He is also a god.
It’s just rain that people can only see so much.
The God that Zeke feels and the God that Signi feels are clearly different.
However, it did not mean that either of the two was seeing the truer God.
