Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 345
78. The Demon King Corrupts (4)
“God is really huge.”
Signi smiled and gave a thumbs up.
“You might be small enough to fit in here.”
“That’s true.”
Yulgeum sighed as she looked at the two brother and sister.
“There are many angels who are worse than you. “So does that idiot.”
The idiot she was referring to was Deus.
Demiurge trapped in a crystal, 666 years old.
It was right then.
“Stop being such an idiot. “You damn woman.”
The surprise I felt at this moment reached its highest point since I had been watching Deus for over 10 years.
The demon king in the crystal became blurred.
It disappeared like a cloud and appeared in front of a glassy wall.
“How!”
Yulgeum was truly astonished.
It was impossible.
The Diamond Sutra here is an absolute space created by oneself.
No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t move around here without her permission.
They are locked inside with a diamond seal, so how can they escape?
Deus turned his shoulders and neck.
“Oh, it hurts. “Zeek, you beat that bastard so hard.”
Zeke bowed his head.
“I was wrong.”
“I’m sorry, Deus.”
Signi also offered an apology.
Deus couldn’t be more angry when he saw Signi’s tearful eyes.
“it’s okay. “That damn woman ordered it.” Yulgeum took a step closer and asked.
“Wasn’t it corrupted?”
” I?”
“then?”
“Corruption is something that only good people do. “A bad guy has no room for corruption, right?”
“Do you want to keep talking convincingly?”
“Lucifer, they say there is no God. What did they say? “God is the community of thoughts that all the ancient gods have fused together.”
“That must be his god.”
“Are you saying that guy was wrong too?”
“No one is wrong. “Because he is also God.”
“It is one and many, many and one.”
“That’s my god.”
“What is he saying now.”
“I can’t explain it any other way than that.”
“Anything is fine. “Because I know Lucifer is crazy.”
“He is also corrupted.”
“The corruption…
“I’m more curious about that. How on earth did you get yourself out of the fall? Besides, how did you escape from the prison of the Diamond Sutra?”
“They say it has never been corrupted.” “
I remember it clearly.
Zeke, since that bastard attacked me with his life-threatening actions. “You three are trying your best to get along and kill me?”
“Don’t bother the kids by saying unnecessary things.”
“Well, let’s start with the conclusion. “I have never fallen.”
“But it was definitely corruption.”
“Just because I emit the waves of a corrupted being does not prove that I am corrupted.”
“Wait what does that mean?”
“You were perfectly fine from the beginning?”
“Then why did you fight?”
“therefore. “Why did everyone come and assault us while we were quiet?”
“I didn’t stay still.”
“then?”
“Obey…
Deus snorted.
“Are you going to beat me to death just because I told you to obey?”
“I said it was the main seat.”
“Isn’t it up to me to call myself whatever you call me?”
“It felt absolutely crazy.”
“I appreciate compliments on my outstanding acting skills.”
“Are you really pretending to be corrupt?”
“Ugh”
o“.
“How could that…
Yulgeum, who was speechless, clapped his hands as if he realized something.
“D-S-Rae!”
“Even the hard dragon’s head rolls a little.”
“You used DS Rae’s power on yourself!”
“that’s right. Since you suppressed your ego, you started running wild on your own, right? If you look at it, there is only one difference between a fallen angel and a demon lord. If you’re crazy, you’re a fallen angel. If you’re sane, you’re the devil, right? “Well, depending on where the standard of sanity lies, demon lords can also be put into the normal category
.”
“You’re the only one who’s crazy.”
“I am the most sane.”
“okay. “Because you are the center of the universe.”
“Now you’ve finally started to obey your boss, kekekeuk.”
“Could you please shut that dog up?”
“It’s a shame because I respect you so much.”
“But why did you pretend to be corrupt? “Have you decided to obey Lucy Fell?”
“Have you taken any medication that makes you crazy
? No drugs ever. “Don’t you know this phrase?”
Deus said with a grin.
“More than that, you. Have you seen the design? That trap.”
“I didn’t know it was a trap.”
“You probably didn’t know. No, it was probably real. So you probably didn’t recognize me.”
“It was a real Shinigami Beast? “But why did you fall into that trap?”
“Because it’s real.”
“The Four Gods Beast is a weapon that obeys its owner.”
“The problem is that there is a real owner. To those guys, me and Zeke are just temporary owners.”
“ah!”
“Lucifer, that bastard took away my Death God Beast too easily. “At that moment, I gave up the fight.”
“So you’re saying you pretended to be corrupted because the Death Beast was taken away?”
Deus crossed his arms and nodded.
“that’s right. Damn woman. First of all, we have to make the Death God Beast independent from that guy. You know how, right? “I’ve seen the blueprint
, so I can figure out how to remodel it.”
Yulgeum did not deny Deus’ point.
He continued the story.
“It was a complete hit. I thought I could beat you up if I met you, but damn it. “I didn’t know that the Death God Beast would be taken away in an instant.”
Zeke said.
“So you pretended to be corrupt.”
“I remembered one thing. This means that if the devil was created by that child, his way of thinking would not be much different from that of the devil
. So I thought about what I would do if I were that bastard. Even though Zeke and I got our hands on the Shinigami Beast, the reason we left it alone was because we could control it later. On the other hand, if you don’t feel threatened by me, I will give it back to you.”
Deus clicked his tongue and said.
“I found a way to control those bastard fallen angels. Or maybe the actions of fallen angels who are out of control serve their own purposes.”
Zeke said.
“All you have to do is leave the whirlpool just spinning around. “Isn’t the scary thing a torrent of direction?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, whatever it is, fallen angels are not scary. “Because they’re just crazy people.”
Yulgeum asked Deus.
“Isn’t it really corrupt?”
“Strictly speaking, it is true that it was corrupted. I told you. The difference between a crazy person and someone who pretends to be crazy is whether or not they can control it. I’ve seen a few corrupt people so far. I thought I could pretend that I knew what it felt like .
And I thought that if you hit me with all your might, it would make me feel like I’m being pushed back.”
“I really meant to kill you.”
“It’s okay to die. I just need to come back to life. “First of all, it is an immortal body.”
“It could really kill you.”
“I was sure that wouldn’t happen.”
“assurance?”
Deus laughed.
“Isn’t that expression really worth seeing? “Did stabbing me really hurt you that much?”
“Noisy!”
“Zeek was supposed to come too. Zeke’s power, Signy, and even you, Yulgeum. “If the three of you attack me, no matter how much I do, I won’t be able to win, so I was confident that I would be subdued like this.”
Yulgeum got angry.
“Then you should have at least talked about it a long time ago!”
“To deceive the enemy, start with your allies. “It’s common sense, right?”
“Here’s the golden rule you really needed. “Because we have to fool Lucifer.”
Deus nodded.
“that’s right. The problem starts now… First, we need to improve the Shinigamisu. “What can I use it for when it returns to its owner 100,000 years ago?”
“Okay, I’ll solve that somehow.”
Zeke asked.
“But what exactly does Lucifer want? What is the reason why Michael, Raguel, and Raziel have become corrupted? “What on earth is going on in this world?”
Deus looked straight at Yulgeum.
“You want to hear my guess? Do you want to hear Yulgeum’s guess? For your information, wouldn’t Yulgeum’s guess be much more reliable?”
Yulgeum opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.
“I can’t help it. “What I’m going to say from now on is entirely just my imagination, but since I know Lucifer better than anyone else, I think I have a certain level of trust in him.”
“Why are you acting humble again?”
Yulgeum continued speaking without hearing Deus’s words.
“What are we? What role do our angels play?
I don’t know if we live in a different time, but 100 years is 100 years for us. Everyone must have been thinking the same thing for 666 centuries. “Why are we here?”
” you also?”
Deus suddenly asked.
Yulgeum paused for a moment. The silence became quite long, and eventually words came out with a sigh.
” me too.”
“Then you become corrupted.”
“It’s not that serious of a concern
. In the age of chaos, it was good that they separated the Joseon continent and Purgatory and designed the world in a way that humans would not perish… but all of humanity’s energy was fixed on the war against the demons. Our angels celebrated their success when we survived the first twenty centuries and passed the Silver Age. But when the 100th century passed and the 200th century passed, not a single person said anything congratulatory. At that moment everyone knew. “Even if eternity passes like this, humanity will stay here.”
“It was so perfect.”
“It was a dilemma. If this balance is broken, I don’t know when humanity will perish again. But maintaining balance means humanity is at a standstill. The moment we realized that fact, we had no choice but to cry out to God. But, as always, he didn’t answer.”
“It’s a one-way street, god.” Zeke denied Deus’ words.
“That won’t be it. God is always speaking. We just can’t accept it. “Everyone hears only what they want to hear.”
“Zeke is right. God always
told us to protect humanity.”
“Is humanity that special?” Deus’ voice is crooked.
“Because I made a barbell. In the future, when their minds become more mature, humanity will use Babel to advance to the next level. When that day comes, we angels will also be free from karma. “Because you won’t need any more care.”
“In any case, humanity is at the forefront of this world.”
“So it’s special. In the meantime, over 600 centuries have passed. That’s
an incredibly long time, even for angels. It’s not easy to endure that long time. Although I survived with only the pride of being a minister of God, there were often fallen angels. And that pain eventually consumed even the archangels.”
“Is Lucifer like that too?”
“He’s a little more special. Because he was a truly outstanding angel. If you had to choose the closest being to God in this world, wouldn’t it be Lucy Pell? “From the Age of Gold to the present, it has always been he who established the framework of the world.”
“Was it he who taught magic during the Silver Age?”
“that’s right. “It was he who even created the angels of the New Testament.”
“By order from God?”
“yes.”
“I heard you communicated directly with God in the Old Testament times?”
“Because there was no noise in that era. There was no reason to doubt that the God in our hearts that we realized was the true God. But now…
Deus said pokingly.
“The ones you don’t trust are your
colleagues. Lucifer did something, right? For example, forging a trust.”
Zeke and SIGNI looked at Deus and Yulgeum alternately with surprised expressions.
Yulgeum sighed.
“It’s just as you said.”
“That is probably why they created the angels of the New Testament. “You couldn’t trust yourselves, so you created the purest form of angels. Under each other’s watch, you created new angels and had them rule this world, right?”
“It’s true.”
