Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 348
79. The god of giants falls on the universe (2)
“So you destroyed it? “My descendants.”
“If you had survived and led, the outcome would have been different.”
“You speak highly of me. Unlike other angels.”
“No one ignored you. Tell me. “Which angel has disparaged you?”
“That’s…
“Angels are the managers of this world. The main people are you. Are you still doubting my intentions?”
“Are you really saying you’re going to help me? “Then why did you take the barbell?”
“To give it back to you.”
“You treat me like a fool.”
“Do you really think Deus has surrendered to you? “Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Universe!”
“I guess it’s just a temporary step down. I know. “He is not the type to bow down to others.”
“Shouldn’t we destroy him?”
“hmm.”
“If Deus disappears, there is truly no one in this world who can compete with you.”
“That’s right. Zeke, that kid has clear limitations as a human… Jin Geum-yong is not my enemy either.”
“He’s aiming for the barbell.”
“I know. “It seems like you know the true value of the barbell.”
“Don’t you want to overwhelm?”
“Overwhelming…
“The person you are now is no better than Deus. If Deus and Zeke join forces, there will be only death in your future. “Even if you are a strong person in this world, you are extremely lonely.”
Nezar’s eyes wavered.
Still, out of pride, I attacked them one by one.
But even if it is a fight that risks their lives, will they really fight and die alone with honor?
no.
The Deus that Nezar knows
will choose victory even if he is called a coward.
Instead of being ashamed of their false victory, they will spit on the corpse and laugh at the dead.
“What can you do for me?”
“Rather, I would like to ask. “What do you need?”
“…the key to evolution.”
“I guess I should teach you fire too. “I need to teach you how to sprout grain.”
Lucifer laughed.
Behind her smile, Jupiter, with all four hemispheres destroyed, trembles.
“Are you really going?”
Deus nodded slightly when Zeke asked.
“Ugh”
o.
“Aren’t you answering too lightly? “I think you’re answering the question of whether I’m going on a picnic.”
“Are you going to give me a serious answer?”
“no.”
“Then let’s go.”
“The two of you?”
“Why are you taking someone else?”
“That’s right…”
“That’s enough. Why are there so many people flocking to attack Nezar? “It’s embarrassing to see these two beat up.”
“You really intend to kill me.”
“uh. Well, I’ve had enough fun with him, so now I’m going to get a little more serious.”
“But you said Lucifer would be behind you.”
“There must be something.”
“Lucifer…
“Shall I come forward in person?” indeed?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
“I don’t think so. No, I think
that’s impossible. I will call for the intervention of other angels. I don’t know if he’s taken over the entire angel army, but it doesn’t seem that way, right? At most, the four great angels of the New Testament?”
“That alone is huge.”
“If those angels attack with their own swords, this world will have seen everything. At most, they will give me a blessing.”
“Wow, that’s a bit uncomfortable to hear.”
” why?”
“Nezar becomes a warrior and we become demon kings.”
“If that angel is a real angel, then yes. “Can you admit it?”
“Hmm…
“Is Lucifer an archangel?”
“I do not know.”
“You are so soft too. What kind of angel is that? Since ancient times, an angel is supposed to fly in the sky, fluttering its white clothes, flapping its wings, and then solemnly end up dropping a fly from a sacred tree such as a palm tree or a linden tree. “The moment you go out and say that you would rather lead humanity to the next world than exterminate humanity and achieve species evolution,
you are no longer an angel.”
“It’s prejudice.”
“It’s common sense.”
“It’s hard to say no.”
“You have lost that much sense. Angels are not the main characters of the world. “It’s a pity, but the same goes for me as a demon lord.”
“Then who is the main character?”
“you.”
” yes?”
“it’s you. “Zeek, the human hero.”
“…It’s an honor.”
“I mean it’s true. The current human race
is caught in that state. It’s a curse from Lucifer. “I don’t know if he made this decision because he thought it would end up like this, but… civilization came to a standstill for over 60,000 years in order to protect the proposition that it would not perish.”
“It’s just according to the trust.”
“God is something completely different from what we think. He is hiding behind a burning bush and emitting light, saying, “So-and-so’s son, so-and-so!” Would you have said that? Would lightning strike a stone tablet and give the Ten Commandments? Even angels did
n’t talk to the real person. Just because it was the Old Testament era, it doesn’t mean that the gods showed specific appearances.”
“I don’t know. “What does that mean?”
Zeke thought back to the stories he had heard from Yulgeum.
“I heard from Yulgeum that God is within you too.”
“Yes…
“That’s natural.”
“Is it natural?”
“You can call it Tao or Law. truth? idea? Sophia? Jeong
Eon command? “Order and harmony. What if the name is dog dung? What if it’s cow dung?”
“It’s a bit weird that God’s name is dog shit…
“It doesn’t matter. “Even thinking that it is mean is deviating from God’s words.”
” yes?”
“Everything is God. “This world itself is God.”
“If you put it that way, there isn’t even right or wrong.”
“That’s stupid. “That’s God.”
” yes?”
“Dog dung is God and cow dung is also God.
“What lies beneath your feet is also God.”
“This is a real god.”
“That’s what it means to talk to God.”
“You’re not just throwing it away because you don’t understand, are you?”
“That’s God too.”
“Yes, sorry. “To make God known to human subjects.”
“God must have said just one word from afar. Come. Come here. “The first people to hear that would have been the angels of the Old Testament.”
“Come…
“That’s why I started going. To there
. Come there without even knowing where it is, relying on that one word. If the voice sounds close, it means that God is nearby, and if it sounds far away, it means that God is far away from the words. Numerous trials and errors and worries created a path to becoming closer to God. It’s not because God doesn’t do something.
As I walked along the approaching road, things naturally occurred that I should not do. “人人、S ‘ 1ne
“Do not kill people.”
“If we kill each other, the number of species will decrease and
it will cost God more to tell us not to pay more
. If they were to kill each other randomly, they wouldn’t want to live together. “They just become meat for carnivores like scattered humans.”
“Are you saying that murder is the exact opposite of the direction God wants?”
“It’s also common sense.”
It seemed like causality had been reversed.
However, as I vaguely understood what was being said, it did not seem to be a very strange story.
Deus spoke leisurely.
“Come here. That voice has not been heard properly for over 60,000 years.
“I thought they were going to follow God’s words by confining humans to an artificially created land, but what God wanted was the opposite.”
“I guess survival is important, right?”
“no no. Of course it’s important. It is very important that humanity does not perish. Because once it becomes extinct, it’s over. But that is only one of two major premises.”
“What is the other one?”
“What do you think?”
“What do you want in the end?”
“Me?”
“Yes, human hero Zeke.”
“well. “I just want us to have fun.”
“That’s Zeke’s plate. “This is what you, who have no choice but to be alone in this world, wish for.”
“I’m sorry I’m single.”
“Loneliness as life. Yulgeum said. “The only thing you can see, hear, and feel is yourself.”
“Ah… what I really wish for.”
Zeke saw Deus. And he spoke as if he was being drawn to something.
“freedom. From all of that.”
“answer.”
Jose Continent was paradise.
And at the same time, it was a breeding farm.
It was the most perfect survival environment for humanity, but there was no freedom in it.
“What Lucifer is plotting is the exact opposite path!”
“This is also the path Michael once wanted to take. Leading humanity to the right path. I will complete it as a servant. “I think it will get there faster if I pull it.”
“But that was the longest road.”
“It’s not even a road.”
Deus put his palms together and opened them.
A large door opened.
“Welcome to the Jupiter Express.”
“Are you able to open the warp gate all the way there?”
“Because you’re a genius.”
Deus gestured.
“Do you feel like going now? “We are not rebelling against God or angels.”
At that time, a phantom-like being appeared behind them.
“Don’t be fooled by him!”
It was the alter ego of Archangel Raguel.
Zeke looked straight at her.
“I think I understand now.”
“His serpentine tongue is deceiving you.”
“You are not Raguel’s illusion. Raguel still hasn’t been released from the seal. “You’re Lucy Pell too, right?”
Raguel’s illusion solidified at Zeke’s words. It became fragments and
scattered like a broken mirror.
“Is that so?”
Zeke burst into laughter when Deus asked him a question.
“Didn’t you know?”
“take no interest. Such as welcome. You just talk loudly. Even the rocks under my feet are worse. “You might even trip over a rock and fall.”
“That’s what I heard.”
Deus has crossed the warp gate. Zeke followed suit. And just as the door was about to close, a being suddenly came inside.
“I’m going too.”
“Anyway, my butt is light.” She was none other than Yulgeum.
“Why did you leave it out?”
“Why? “You are so weak.”
“That’s too harsh.”
Deus snorted at Zeke’s words.
“Jingeumyong or whatever, it’s too weak to be of any use.”
Yulgeum glared at Deus harshly.
“okay.”
She took out her sword Ho Meng Yue. He held the sword upside down and raised it high.
A sharp sword sound rang out.
It was a black space with the half-destroyed Jupiter in the background.
The space was filled with golden light.
The golden object was a severed head.
Zeke looked at Yulgeum with a surprised face.
“Why…
“I’m determined. “Even if we no longer hear God’s words, we will walk together on the path you are about to take.”
Her short hair stuck out uncontrollably.
She was no longer Jin Geum-yong.
It has returned to its original form.
Lord of the Crown and Lord of Angels. Metatron.
She stopped being an angel.
For dragons.
The moment she looked into the eyes of the young dragons born for war, she had a premonition of her own fate.
I cannot abandon these children. She
stopped being an angel for the tens of thousands of children who will be discarded when the war ends.
He sealed Metatron’s power and gained a new name, Golden Melody.
Looking at God’s bitter expression, I didn’t even know I had started down the wrong path.
Or maybe that expression is your own emotion hidden deep in your heart.
Yulgeum spread her golden wings wide.
Like an illusion, the wings soon disappeared and she looked back at her companion with a smile.
The devil and the warrior.
A ridiculous combination struck me.
“That’s enough now, right?”
“It’s of some use.”
Deus held out his thumb and index finger slightly. It was a gesture that seemed to be just that useful.
