Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 349
79. The god of giants falls in space (3)
Ganymede was the largest of Jupiter’s four major moons.
It was even longer in diameter than Mercury. It was possible because it was a satellite of a huge planet called Jupiter.
But now that Jupiter itself has been destroyed, its orbit has become severely unstable.
The vibration created heat inside the satellite, melting the rocks and
spewing lava onto the surface.
Truly hell.
Red molten metal flowed like a river on the surface, and the air was filled with extremely poisonous vapor.
There was an ark called Utnapishtim that crashed there.
The damage was quite severe to use the polite word “landing.”
It seemed like the damage Lucifer suffered when attacking Jupiter was considerable.
Deus, Zeke, and Yulgeum immediately entered the ark.
But there was no sign of popularity in it
at all.
“It looks like you’re a step too late.”
Yulgeum muttered lowly in a room filled with wires and screens.
Then a light came on on one of the screens.
It made a crackling noise for a long time, and then Nezhar’s figure suddenly appeared inside.
—My loyal subjects! It seems they have gathered to worship the ruler of the universe!
Because part of the screen was broken, Nezar’s appearance on the screen was also extremely bizarre
.
Deus stepped in front of him.
“Can you hear me?”
-This is your first Cosmopolitan. Tell me, my first subject.
“I see you can hear me. Or, I thought I’d start by swearing a few words.”
– Haha, I’m still a cheerful guy. I don’t even expect you to speak politely. Just don’t give up your loyalty.
“What if you reap it?”
—Just grab this lightly.
Nezar said and
raised his palms.
Above it, there was a blue star like a background.
It was Earth.
“Are you demanding my loyalty by holding the Earth hostage?”
— Hostages? No, this is my property. It was like that before and it still is like that now. It is only a small punishment for a disloyal subject, and is not like a hostage.
“I understand, Your Majesty, Emperor of the Universe. “Where are you now?”
-Before you ask where I am, you should do what you have to do.
“tomorrow?”
-Kill Metatron. Come to me with her head. Then your loyalty will not be questioned.
Deusgya scratched his cheek.
“You know Metatron’s name… Is that true? “It looks like he’s with Lucifer.”
—The ancient angel recognized me as the victor of the species. This universe is mine. If everyone swears to obey me, I will open the path to Babel and lead them to victory.
“It wouldn’t be particularly glorious to go beyond, would it?”
-Even in another world, it wouldn’t be greater than what I have achieved. I will be the ruler there too. I will take into my hands not only this universe but all the countless stars in the sky. That is the path I must take. It is a long road to God.
“Oh, the unity of the universe.”
—What is it like? Are you going on that long road with me? You are worthy of being on my ship.
“To do that, you have to kill Yulgeum?”
—It will be a proof of your loyalty to me.
“It’s the biggest increase I’ve ever been offered in my life.”
—You would know. my strength. And the value of what you will receive in return for your loyalty.
“okay. First, let’s go to where you are and talk. “I think we need to stamp the contract before we can proceed further.”
—Kkekeut, it’s good. Come.
The screen turned off.
And a huge black door
appeared in the room.
It was the moment to open the door.
The screen crackled again and a woman appeared.
Deus, Yulgeum, and Zeke were vaguely aware of her existence.
The woman on the screen opened her mouth.
-Yes, Nezar… please destroy him. He… is he…
Deus asked.
“Are you Amitis?”
— My name is Amitis TC-36725 Type F 7239 version.
“It looks like you were abandoned by Nezar.”
—He… He… was fallen. You are no longer human… My master is… a human. He… a machine like me….
“Is he a subject to be corrupted? Well, I was planning on destroying it anyway.”
-thank you.
The screen shook and then disappeared into a small dot.
Deus lowered her for a moment and opened the dark black door.
That appearance was infinitely close to God.
He sat on the golden throne and placed his hands
on the armrests.
He was wearing a tunic made of white cloth, and on his head was a crown decorated with numerous jewels.
Four angels guarded me with swords raised.
Michael of Fire. Gabriel of Water. Uriel of the Earth and Raphael of the Wind.
The great angel holding the sword of the four elements was covered with black feathers.
He was looking down the platform with indifferent eyes, as if he had lost his humanity. Deus
looked up
at Nezar from under the platform .
Then he glanced to the side and said to Zeke.
“Don’t you want to bow down?”
“Not at all.”
“Just leave out the fact that he’s an idiot Nezar. Just objectively. A human being guarded by the four great angels. “Isn’t that befitting of His Majesty, the Emperor of the Universe?”
“…I can’t tell if you’re serious or joking.”
“Because it’s both.”
Nezar opened his mouth.
“My disloyal subordinate.”
Deus raised his finger and pointed at himself, then moved his finger to Zeke.
“Hey?”
“Did you not swear to yourself? He said he would treat me as king and be loyal to me. Could it be that his heart has already changed? “Why don’t you take Metatron’s head?”
“I guess it was about me. But wasn’t he the one who broke the contract first? “It seems like they decided not to touch the Earth Realm.”
“I guess it’s about when you show your loyalty to me
.”
“Are you saying I betrayed you?”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have awakened Metatron to find my ark.”
“It could be a greeting, right?”
“Haha, if sticking a knife in one’s stomach is a human being, it would be a greeting.”
“But you… have you changed?” Deus looked Nezar up and down
.
“You have eyes too.”
“This body’s discernment is always poor.”
“The end of evolution. That is my theme.”
“The end…
“How will existence change when all types of evolution that can exist in this world reach their ultimate stage?”
“Have you started using difficult words again?”
“The angels themselves are not very powerful because they are forbidden by God, but at least their vision is praiseworthy.”
“Are you talking about those who are next to him and say they are the four great angels of the New Testament?”
Nezar continued without answering Deus’ question.
“Humanity is an organic life form. However, depending on the nature of the home planet, a much wider variety of life forms can exist. Gas life
body. Rock creatures. Even mental creatures such as spirits. “All imaginable life forms exist outside the solar system.”
“so?”
“Evolution is a clash of species. The perfection of a species is when species selected by nature reach the ultimate attainable level in the natural world. Adapa was the completion of the species. But that’s just a story within this world. I have seen beyond. “The true species has been completed!”
“To put it simply, you mixed it all up,
right? hybrid? “You know something like that?”
“I wouldn’t understand it at your level.”
“No, I know. hybrid.”
“The ultimate species…
“Mongrel.”
Nezar stretched out his hand.
His right hand suddenly disappeared. To be exact, it turned into white smoke. It seemed like it was the gaseous life form he was talking about.
It stretched out and suddenly became huge in front of Deus.
Just like the palm of the Tathagata who pressed the Daeseong of Jecheon,
Deus was pressed into that palm.
Just because it was acting didn’t mean it was passing by.
Rather, it was harder than most materials.
There was a thud, and the area around where Deus was standing was filled with white hands.
Nezar withdrew his hand. Then it returned to the color of human flesh again.
A hole appeared where Deus was standing. It seemed that Deus was pinned to the ground by the force of Nezar’s strike.
After a while, Deus crawled up the hole.
“That’s funny. “What is this, a smoke attack?”
“Your little experience will not allow you to understand.”
“Well, no matter what, hitting is still the same, right?”
“Kkkkkk I don’t understand either.”
Nezar’s right hand disappeared again. Deus expanded the realm of senses. However, gas was a substance that was difficult to feel.
Even with very little energy, the gas fluctuates.
It was colorless and transparent, and even the temperature was the same as the surroundings. Because of this, Nezar’s right arm was difficult to recognize even with Deus’ eyes.
Immediately after, Deus vomited blood.
Blood filled my nose and mouth and flowed like a fountain.
Deus stroked his face.
No words came out. It seemed like his lungs were damaged.
In that brief moment, Nezar
put his hand through Deus’ trachea and stirred his lungs.
Deus noticed this and instantly burned his body to a temperature of over 1,000 degrees.
The wound healed instantly.
He returned to his original state, pretending like nothing had happened, and looked up at Nezar.
“It’s really fun.”
“fun? I can’t believe I can only get that much appreciation. After all, you were just a dull lower-class member.” “
Why would you curse
at something that was supposed to be fun when you said it was fun and thought it was fun?”
“This is a species revolution.”
“Why do you have a bad temper even when I praise you?”
“You don’t understand at all!”
“Well then, shall we take a look? “Do I know or not?”
Deus bent his neck to the left and right and took a step forward.
One, two, three.
The moment his third step touched the ground, his spirit disappeared.
The place that reappeared
was right in front of Nezar.
A tightly clenched fist created a shock wave.
Nezar’s invisible hand blocked Deus’s fist. However, even Nezar could not easily withstand that destructive power.
The shock wave created when the two forces collided shook the room surrounded by a metal partition. The walls were torn apart, spilling out wires and coffins like intestines.
It was hard to believe that the damage was caused only by a septal rupture.
Deus’ attack continued.
Each room trembled heavily in the space.
Nezar took his attack and looked calm. However, at some point, it was impossible to block with just the right hand of the air.
His left leg melted and flowed. Then it hit Deus’ side like a whip.
Deus sneered briefly.
“As expected, Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Universe. Losing face is the best thing in the universe.”
But Nezar couldn’t laugh. Despite
using his fists of air and legs of water,
Deus did not take a single step back.
The legs of earth and the fist of fire remained.
The protection of the four great angels was added and complete evolution was achieved, so that the arms and legs themselves took on elemental properties.
Nevertheless, the reason Nezar’s expression was not good was because of Deus’ relaxed face.
The confident attitude of saying ‘this is about it’ was annoying.
Nezar’s right leg changed. It became transparent like a red jewel.
It seemed to have evolved with the genes of a mineral life form.
The ability was just as it appeared.
The edges were as sharp as a blade, and the hardness was such that even Deus’s fist would not easily dull them.
“That’s fun too.”
“It’s fun!”
Nezar bit his lip and took out the power of the fourth evolution.
It was the left arm of a flame creature.
Compared to gas life, life evolved in a much higher temperature environment and only rarely appeared in burning stars
.
Flame creatures were superior in every way as they survived in the harsh environment.
In particular, their ability to adapt to outer space was excellent, and once they were on the evolutionary track, they would immediately open the way to deep space.
