Chapter 223 – 223. Abbreviations
The situation has become difficult.
In the next town, bugs and mushroom beasts are roaming around, and in another place, the apostle of the evil spirit is causing a stir.
It wouldn’t be surprising if our neighborhood was attacked at any time. It’s literally just a crazy situation.
“You’re crazy.”
It’s really mind-boggling. I don’t know what to do. I can’t even sleep. Why are you doing this?
‘Do you know why I’m doing this?’
I don’t know why, so I don’t know where I should be angry.
I was just so angry that I decided to harass those who were weaker than I. I need a place to vent this stress. And there were suitable people tied up in front of me.
“Where are the rest of your group?”
10 men captured. They were captured and stripped of all their guns and weapons. If you make even the slightest mistake, I plan to blow your head off immediately.
They seemed to know this as well, as they were tied up quietly and had their eyes downcast. He seems to have lost his will to fight, perhaps because he has already shown the bullet not entering his body.
Actually, even if it were me, I would lose my will to fight.
Who would be brave enough to face a bald tattooed monster screaming and approaching, taking bullets and wielding strange skills?
“No, why is there no answer? “Where did the rest of the group hide it?”
“That’s…”
“You don’t want to talk?”
“Ugh.”
I crushed the fingers of a man who still looked to be in his early 20s. In the third, the guy screamed and tried to tell where the other party members were hiding.
“Kwaaaaa!!!! Ma, I’ll tell you!!! Because I will tell you!!!”
“Kim Chang-soo, you bastard!!! Shut up!!”
In an instant, the man’s mouth closed. His mouth was closed tightly, as if it had been zipped, and only he let out a moan. It seemed like the old guy next to him had used a skill to silence the man.
“This bastard.”
Wow!!!!
“Wow!!!”
“I told you not to use skills.”
“Kwaaaaa!!!!”
The target of violence has changed. I pulled out Ramek’s kitchen knife and plunged it into the shoulder of the man who used the skill.
“Aaaaah!!!!”
“You bastards. I still can’t come to my senses. You have to look for someone to understand what you’re saying, right? Hey. Answer me. I definitely should have warned you that you would fall behind if you used the skill.”
I made another copy of Lamech’s kitchen knife and inserted it into the body of the man who used the skill.
Pooh wook
“Quaaaaa!!!!!”
“You guys took the first step and gave my subordinates their guns. “Why didn’t you even think about talking?”
They had no answer to my question.
To be honest, in these guys’ situation, it was worth shooting. Of course, since there were vampires armed with shotguns walking around, you probably wanted to shoot them.
But should I understand everything about their situation? No. All I have to do is condemn those who arbitrarily invaded my territory and started shooting.
“Now you have two options.”
We all die here. Bring your companions with you.
“Lord, kill me!!!”
One of the men shouted.
He said he would rather kill himself. He probably said he would die here because he was afraid his family would get caught.
“You’re not going to kill me?”
“What?”
“All of you today. I become a devil.”
I grabbed the man’s head and injected him with magical energy.
The pattern of Abalam was activated, and demonic energy flowed into the man’s body.
“Quaaaaa!!!!!!!”
His skin turned purple as he screamed in pain.
Demonization is underway. If you subdue the demon while wearing Paimon’s Crown, you can make it into an obedient limb.
“What is this?”
“Sangjeong!!! Jeongsang Yoon!!! Come to your senses, dude!!!”
“Si, I hate it!!! Huh. Haaaaa!!!!”
There was an uproar. Of course, I was dizzy as a person was transformed alive right in front of my eyes.
“Hmm…”
A man named Jeongsang Yoon has completely turned into a devil. His skin turned purple, and his eyes also changed color.
The guy was drooling. I ordered him while wearing Paimon’s crown.
“Tell me where the rest of the party is.”
“Yes…”
He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and told me in detail where the rest of the group was hiding.
“Indeed.”
I figured out their location.
It seemed that about 40 people were waiting.
“40 people.”
All you have to do is make half of these guys into blood demons and the other half into demons.
This is how we have to make it a part of the world. If they are accepted into a base without taking any action and then start a rebellion, it will be very difficult.
If humans are not managed properly, they will always have other thoughts. Since we are in an age of destruction where no institutional measures can be taken, it is better to just imprison them with their souls.
“Blood Demon.”
“Yes.”
“Take these guys and catch all the others.”
“I understand.”
The remaining ones hiding are old and weak with little fighting ability. So you will be able to catch it more easily.
‘Even if they are old and weak, if they are demonized or turned into blood, their bodies will become stronger.’
It will be usable enough.
This place, with its light, water, and warmth, is virtually paradise on earth.
And in order to live in paradise, there is no choice but to abandon humanity.
Even I, the owner of paradise, have become half-human in order to survive, so I can’t give special treatment to other people.
“Now then, let’s slowly open the golden box.”
It’s soon time for the group to wake up.
I stared blankly into space until Leona woke up, concentrating her thoughts for a moment.
It was mainly thoughts about evil spirits.
‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.’
I felt this while abusing power against the weak. Something is a little strange.
“Why not attack directly? “Why are you putting pressure on me as if I’m suffocating?”
[What?]
“No, that bastard. If you’re that strong, you can just attack me right away.”
[Right.]
“But why do you keep giving me trials and putting pressure on me? Expressing his will to harass me. Why don’t they just attack outright?”
[I also have a few hypotheses about that.]
“Huh?”
Agaf seemed to have thought the same thing as me.
[First… It may be due to the tendency of evil spirits.]
“Inclination?”
[Okay. Gods are mostly crazy people.]
“Uh. Hmm. I think so.”
[So there is a possibility that he is enjoying himself by tormenting you on purpose. Because the other person is crazy.]
There is certainly a possibility that, as Agaf said, he is just a crazy person and is pushing me and harassing me.
“Well.”
Just now, I was clearly bullying those who were weaker than I…
‘I felt pleasure.’
The pleasure gained from tormenting the weak. There is a possibility that they are pushing me and harassing me just for that purpose.
It’s very creepy. If you’re playing with me without killing me on purpose, that means you can kill me whenever you want.
[Or, there is a possibility that he is intentionally making you grow.]
“Me?”
[Okay. It increases the value of the offering.]
“…”
If the previous hypothesis was hedonistic bullying, this hypothesis was that they were keeping me alive for extremely calculated reasons.
“Both are the worst.”
[Yes. It means it’s already in the palm of your hand.]
“Isn’t there a more hopeful hypothesis?”
[There is.]
“Oh. “What is it?”
[Someone is blocking it.]
“What?”
[An unidentified being. The hypothesis is that they are helping us.]
Agaf’s words brought some comfort to my heart.
[Similar to Asmorphia. Or, there is a possibility that a higher-ranking being is preventing the evil spirit from directly intervening. Actually, I think this hypothesis is the most plausible.]
“How. Who could it be?”
[Uh, maybe… The master of the void…]
Aenus, who was quietly listening to the conversation between me and Agaf, blurted out something.
“Lord of the Void?”
[Ah yes. That is. After listening to the story. The existence of the Evil God is roughly… In the world I was in, it seems to be at the level of the Three Lords… In order to stop such a being, a god of similar rank must appear.]
[That is correct.]
“No. “The evil spirit was not the owner of the void?”
[There is a good possibility that the two are different beings. In the first place, it is highly likely that the Void Snake entered this world on purpose to accumulate causality. It may be that they didn’t want to see the evil spirit running amok.]
I had vaguely thought that the two might be the same being, but upon closer inspection, I realized that there was a possibility that the evil spirit and the Void Serpent were different beings.
[It is almost certain that Botamilli, the owner of the void, came from the world I was in. On the other hand, there is a possibility that the evil spirit is a god who was asleep in this world to begin with. I think we can assume that the two are separate entities.]
“It’s difficult. Then. Maybe.”
[Okay. According to the maxim that three stand against one…]
If we bring together the Blue Moon Wolf, the Demon God, and the Void Snake.
[You can catch the evil spirit.]
Moreover, I thought that if the Void Serpent was really preventing the evil spirit from struggling, it might react favorably to me.
“I was thinking too positively.”
The Void Serpent is also an evil god in the end. The idea that he will be on my side is just wishful thinking. On the contrary, it may be a terrible being on the level of a vicious god.
It would be better to just assume that the Void Serpent does not exist. If you approach for no reason, you might end up being cut to death without any oatmeal or rice.
And if I’m really blocking the evil spirit, there’s a high possibility that I’ve accidentally gained some advantage by just keeping the evil spirit in check, not for myself.
[For now, let’s think that someone might be helping us. Right now, that side is better suited to overcome disaster.]
“Okay.”
I nodded.
Even though Asmorphia disappeared, I still felt a little at ease knowing that someone was protecting me.
“Uh? Leona.”
Just then, Leona and several of her companions came out of the base.
I immediately exchanged greetings with her companions and then called Leona over.
“Hmm? Ha,~ cancer. A box?”
Leona, who is still half asleep, rubs her eyes and gently hugs her.
I patted her shoulder diligently and took out her box to show her.
“Wow, wow!! Golden!?”
“Okay. Awesome, right? Isn’t it huge? “I conquered the fixed labyrinth while everyone was sleeping and received a golden box!”
“Wow!!!”
Leona’s eyes opened brightly.
“Okay then, let me ask you a favor. Let’s pick at least two.”
“Whew. Yes. “Just a moment.”
Leona slapped her cheek and showed great concentration.
“Then. Are you a loser?”
“Good.”
“Huh!!!”
Leona took a deep breath and opened her box.
“Ugh, ugh!!!”
“It’s an incredible light!!!”
The moment she opened the box, a warm breeze blew out that seemed to envelop her whole body, and light covered the corners of her eyes.
“W-what!!”
“What’s going on!”
People flocked towards us due to the light and wind.
“Wow. Huh.”
“This is.”
Two structures and one object were created.
“God’s Resurrection Stone.”
And one of the two structures was ridiculous.
“It’s possible to resurrect a dead god.”
Maybe this is something I really need right now.
This is worth fighting for.
