Chapter 242 – 242. You, Become My Apostle

Kang In-ho ran, firing his gun in all directions.

They literally fired guns randomly in all directions, and blind bullets hit the body of the cultist or stuck in the heads of the zombies running towards Kang In-ho.

-Kiaaaaa!!!!

Monsters are flying towards Kang In-ho. It was a strange creature with tentacles where its mouth should be, and its wings were made up of countless human arms.

They vomited stomach acid towards Kang In-ho, who was running away.

-Chiiik!!!!

The stomach acid they vomited melted the building and ate away at the ground. It was so acidic that even Kang In-ho’s skin would partially melt upon contact.

“OMG!!! Fuck!!! It stings!!!”

[Avoid it at all costs!! It hurts the skin!!!]

“Those bastards!!!”

Kang In-ho screamed and frantically dodged the stomach acid pouring down from the sky.

[It’s that building!]

“Uh oh!!”

So we finally arrived in front of the building where the pagans were located.

“Busan City Hall.”

The apostle of evil spirits had built a nest in Busan City Hall.

There is an apostle inside this building.

Boom!

“Oh my.!”

Monsters with pure white skin appeared in front of Kang In-ho, who ran into the city hall to avoid the evil monsters.

The monsters, who appeared to be about 3 meters tall, opened their mouths towards Kang In-ho. Without any chance to stop it, an unknown power is activated.

[Ah. Are you here?]

A ringing sound that feels like your eardrums will be torn.

The trembling, which could not be expressed in words, echoed in Kang In-ho’s brain through his eardrums.

“Ugh!!!”

A great deal of damage was done just by voice alone.

Kang In-ho got down on one knee. Because I couldn’t stand.

“Ugh.!!”

[This! Are you okay!?]

“Ugh.”

Unable to properly respond to Agap’s call, Kang In-ho screamed to get rid of the sound echoing in his head.

[Do you think you can shake it off like that?]

Once again, a voice that seemed to tear my brain apart was heard.

Kang In-ho finally got down on his one knee and trembled at the sound of God’s voice.

[On a weak subject.]

[I watched it because it was fun to watch it climb. Wake up the demon?]

Kang In-ho was unable to do anything to the threat of the evil spirit.

Because there is no god in this world who can protect Kang In-ho.

Because most gods did not pay attention to this small planet.

‘Please. Please. Anyone is welcome. Help me.’

Kang In-ho prayed in his heart.

I prayed and prayed for help.

However, there was no answer. Neither God nor Buddha has any response.

In the end, he prayed to the evil spirit.

Please stop. Please stop.

To live without pride.

[Be my apostle.]

The evil spirit suggested.

Become your own apostle. Then you will be able to escape this endless pain.

How could a mortal refuse this offer?

“Ah… I understand…”

[Kang In-ho!!! Stop!!!!]

Agaf shouted.

Kang In-ho, who was on the verge of falling into the hands of the evil spirit, was hurriedly called to him.

Just one step.

Kang In-ho’s future depended on this one step.

Between Agaf’s shout and the voice of the evil spirit, Kang In-ho’s mind sank into darkness.

******

All the surrounding noise disappeared, and I was left alone in the dark.

Was I too defenseless?

I never thought I would be dragged in like this in the first place.

At that time, something came towards me.

It was a huge lump. Pure white stems that were difficult to identify were tangled together.

“This. What the hell.”

I felt a strange feeling as I saw a gigantic being that was difficult to recognize.

It felt like warmth and fear at the same time. Two conflicting emotions swirled inside me.

In the end, the tangled emotions disappeared and what remained in my heart was deep frustration.

Can’t win. There is no way out. I was doomed to be played by the monster in front of me.

Maybe it’s good? Is this the end? Will everything come to an end?

‘It’s a disaster. I never thought I would be caught here like this.’

From the moment I faced the part of the evil body, there was no hope.

There is no agape either. Asmorphia disappeared immediately.

My women cannot follow me to such danger.

It is a disaster that must be borne alone. In front of this huge whirlpool, I am a human being so small and weak.

A sense of detachment beyond death. A deep sense of loss that my existence as dust in the universe will not bring about any change.

It’s all over.

Now that the situation had become more complicated, and we were now right in front of the evil spirit, I felt like my heart would break.

‘Is it really right to confront this terrible disaster?’

Wouldn’t it be better to just take advantage of this disaster?

I even have that question. Maybe I’m going down a very difficult and difficult path like an idiot.

Wouldn’t it have been more convenient if we had stuck to the evil spirit’s side from the beginning?

When I thought about it like that, I felt a little unfair. Why do I have to go through all this trouble, pretending to be the savior?

As I was thinking that it would have been better to just accept the evil spirit’s offer, a huge lump emitted mental waves.

[Okay, is there any need to be against me? Think carefully. The plan you are planning now to catch me with the three gods… Is that effective? Let’s say it’s a demon. Where and how will I get the other two gods?]

‘Ha, one is from Cheongwol…’

[Getting help would be a huge task for you? Do you think the lazy gods of this rotten world will easily grant your request? There is no way. It’s obvious I’m going to play with you. Do you want to be a toy of the gods?]

‘…’

[The soul of that deadly beast that has attached itself to you has no more role than navigation. Are you playing with the plans of a beast that is neither a god nor anything else, making the gods on your side and attacking me? It’s absurd. Do you think I can handle it? I already know your plan, right? And at this very moment, I can crush you to death. The old adage that three kill one has long since been broken. Come to your senses.]

‘Ha, but.’

[The reason you reject me now is simply your stubbornness. Is it because the first impression was not good? Was there another god who reached out to you as much as I did?]

I couldn’t readily answer the evil spirit’s words.

‘Now that I think about it… Why did I turn against the evil spirit?’

The reason for antagonizing evil spirits.

That’s because they faced threats to their lives when they tried to kill heretics and trade their bodies.

From then on, I defined the evil spirit as my enemy and decided to kill it.

‘Yes, yes! Asmorphia… Because of you, Asmorphia…’

[If it’s him, he’s alive. Just as you remember. Fine.]

‘What.?’

The evil spirit said that Asmorphia had not been touched yet.

It’s alive and well.

[Do you want it back? The one who sacrificed for you.]

‘…’

To get it back…

[Be my apostle.]

‘What are you trying to do by making me an apostle?’

[I will use you to wake up all the rotten and lazy gods.]

‘Yes…?’

Awakening the gods. What I’m trying to do is wake up God and catch the evil spirit.

[My goal is my complete resurrection. Or restoration of strength. For that, he needs to eat God.]

‘So now.’

[I will help you wake up the gods. All you have to do is become my apostle and sacrifice the damn gods to me. Wake up all the gods hidden throughout this world, including sleeping gods, old gods, and sealed gods, and offer them to me. As soon as I regain my strength, I will give you everything I don’t need, including this planet, the constellation you want, and everything else, and then I will leave.]

An evil spirit who tells you to sacrifice your food because he will give you a lot of beans.

‘Offering to God.’

[Is there anything bad for you if you offer it? They are distant beings who have no interest in you anyway and have no influence on whether the Earth is destroyed or not. Is there really a need for you to fight for those things? Why? You can just find your own happiness, so why are you worrying about the gods? Is it a double body?]

As expected, I had nothing to answer. The gods I am trying to awaken are not only uninterested in me, but they are also beings who have no interest in whether the Earth is destroyed or humanity is exterminated.

I was just trying to awaken the gods in order to kill the evil spirits that were hostile towards them. I confronted the evil spirit who took Asmorphia with the intention of punishing him.

However, the evil spirit told me that he would return Asmorphia to its original state and asked me to be on the same side. If this is the case, there is no reason to fight.

They said they would help out. Worried about being betrayed? In the first place, you have to worry about not falling behind right now.

‘Yes, even at this moment, there is not a single divine being who wants to help me. Rather, except for the first meeting, only the evil god sent me a love call.’

A plan to return Asmorphia, receive help from evil spirits, sacrifice all the useless gods, and gain peace.

[Not bad, right?]

‘For sure.’

[Let’s be on the same side. You will get rid of all the old things that are of no help to you anyway and help me return the world to its original state.]

‘Are you saying it will end the winter night?’

[I’m actually not very interested in this tiny planet. If you help me, I will not only return Asmorphia to you but also end the winter night.]

[Then I will cleanly get off this planet. My goal is to restore strength, not to rule as king on a planet like this. How is it? The reason I went through all this trouble in the first place was to get a great champion like you. Just try a little harder for me. Then you will get everything.]

I just nodded.

These are not bad conditions. A life of receiving help from the evil god, offering offerings to all the old gods who did not help me, becoming the evil god’s right-hand man, and enjoying wealth and fame.

‘Yes, what kind of savior is a savior? No. In a way, this is also a path to salvation.’

Killing the evil spirit, the subject of the disaster, becoming the evil god’s right-hand man and helping him to end the disaster.

Both results are the same.

Okay, this is not corruption or betrayal. This is also the path to salvation.

Is the process important? No one knows about the process.

Until this time, it was very difficult for me to face the evil spirit alone.

In a situation where I have to fight against a god, and the only god who helps me is a demon god who never knows when he will hit me in the back, it’s acceptable to just throw everything away and take the side of an evil god.

‘From the beginning, I didn’t fit in with salvation.’

At a time when I had attacked everyone in sight and killed thousands of people, the role of a savior did not suit me. Asmorphia just gave me a cover to keep my sanity.

Above all, my motto is to eat raw. A strong desire arose to join the evil spirit and eat disaster every day.

‘Before that, one thing… I just want your help. I don’t want to follow unreasonable orders.’

[If this is an unreasonable order…?]

‘For example, something that touches my family. Or, I hope you don’t touch my woman. What happens to the rest is none of my business. I ask you to set a condition that you will not touch my people. That’s one thing… I’ll stand on your side and sacrifice the useless, rotten gods.’

With that one thing, it’s advantageous to just stick to the evil god’s side.

It is only in novels that one can find conscientiousness and self-denial that do not give in to evil.

Belief? My top priority is to keep myself and my people alive.

Following my motto of surviving and smiling until the end, I stand on the side of evil spirits.

Let me get some help now. This is enough to shovel alone.

Moreover, in the end, all survivors on Earth will be happy, so what’s the problem?

‘Standing on the side of evil spirits.’

Yes, the trend is evil spirits.

Let’s not go against the flow of the times.

Up until this point, I had been standing upside down.

‘This road is much easier and better. ‘Surviving is hard work, so why go through even more trouble by buying it?’

If you were the main character in a novel that didn’t happen, you would say that you would never give in, that you would fight until the end, or other nonsense.

However, I am different. I’ll just give in.

It’s so pitiful that the main character of the story carries all the burden alone.

‘I will be your apostle.’

[Indeed… It’s great. You made the right choice.]

The evil spirit laughed.

Now, that voice was no longer like an unpleasant noise.

It felt like I had a dependable older brother.

I finally figured it out.

Maybe I always wanted to become an apostle of evil spirits.

[Then it is the first trial.]

‘Yes?’

[Kill my 13th apostle and take away from him my power and this ability he possesses. And you will be the 13th.]

I nodded.

Stealing skills is my specialty.
