Chapter 244 – 244. Tools

The moment I offered the demon to the evil god, the evil god swallowed the demon god and gave me the power of the demon god.

In this way, every time I offer up a god, I may be bestowing one of the god’s powers on me. It would give us a reason to pray even harder to God. It was a very happy thing for me.

[Demon God’s Power: Can ignore chanting, and the power of all magic-based skills increases four times. You can also recover your strength by absorbing energy projectiles, and you can also absorb life force by directly touching the other person’s body. It becomes possible to copy and disassemble the opponent’s techniques in real time.]

The effect was very intuitive and amazing.

I also felt like there were an unknown number of skills packed into this one power. It was literally the power that allowed one to stand at the top in the field of magic or magic, and it truly had an effect worthy of the name ‘power’.

“Huh.”

Although I am basically a warrior, I have been frequently using magic-type skills obtained through set items, including Flame. These were skills specialized for massacre, so I used them often. Maybe it’s just the right power.

[This…]

“That’s amazing.”

Agaf also witnessed the power of the demon god himself and was astonished.

I never would have thought that the power I was given on my first day as an apostle of the evil spirit would be this great. Honestly, even the moment I took God away from the Demon God’s vessel, I questioned whether this was the right thing to do and whether I had made the right choice.

However, as soon as I received the power, all those questions and concerns disappeared.

‘The more you sacrifice to God…’

I will become exponentially stronger.

[And ultimately, you will become strong enough to challenge the position of God. Furthermore, if I disappear from this planet, you will be able to rule as king. Isn’t it good?]

The evil spirit read my thoughts and spoke to me.

[The moment you become my apostle, most of your thoughts are read by me. So, refrain from thinking about unnecessary things.]

He also warned us not to entertain other thoughts or think of betrayal.

Yes, just as I don’t trust the evil spirits, the evil spirits also don’t trust me.

[Isn’t that obvious? After making such a fuss about not wanting to become an apostle, he says he will become an apostle overnight, but I also doubt whether he has some other agenda.]

“Ah.”

A bastard who openly says he is suspicious of me.

Yes, in the situation of the evil spirit, I am quite suspicious. The evil spirit is also trying to regain his power, but he is not able to filter out talented people properly, so if he gets a spy by mistake, it will be undermining his own power.

[Somehow… I feel reassured because it is strangely overflowing with humanity.]

“Yes.”

As Agaf said, the evil spirit is also suspicious of me, so I feel reassured. I must say that I was a little surprised by the human side of God, who I thought was just a crazy being.

[Maybe… Even this could be a smokescreen.]

I nodded at Agaf’s words. Maybe even that action was a smokescreen.

Just as the evil spirit cannot trust me, I also cannot completely trust the evil spirit. Trust has not yet been established.

“For now…”

Maybe it would be nice to see the Demon God’s vessel still crying in a dazed state.

Until this morning, he was smiling brightly, saying that the demon god had been resurrected. I feel a little sorry about this.

[Carve my scar on that woman.]

‘Yes?’

[I imitate the devil. This is your chance to take advantage of that child’s loyalty. Let’s plot a sinister plan. It is used by making the demon think that it is still alive. Then the child is sure to be completely loyal to you.]

‘Is this guy really worth using?’

[Of course. It is a vessel that has contained God for a long time. What this means is that the soul itself is a being that has been transformed into a tool. Its very existence has been distorted to the point that it can be revived if only its head remains. It’s also good for me to manifest through that guy’s body. It is a useful tool in many ways. So it would be a waste to throw it away. It is difficult to find such a heterogeneous being.]

It’s a good tool to use, so it’s a shame to throw it away, so it’s a shameful evil spirit that says it out loud.

This is a reaction to discovering an interesting toy somewhere. As expected, he is an incredibly evil being.

‘I’m glad we’re on the same side right now.’

It was very difficult to follow the evil spirit’s tricks, but I think it was better to use the vessel of the evil spirit who was going crazy and trying to commit suicide.

[Anyway, he was treated like a tool by the Demon God and was used his entire life. I will treat you well. Hehe…]

Hearing the devil’s sinister laughter, he was completely dazed as if he wanted to do nothing and sat the bowl of the devil’s body, which was almost like a half-corpse, on the floor.

“It will sting a little.”

“…”

“You will meet the demon again.”

“… Yes?”

As if asking what he was talking about, he quickly carved a scar on the shoulder of the bowl with Lamech’s kitchen knife.

“Ugh.”

The bowl frowned slightly. That was it. I felt like I reacted incorrectly due to the incredible sense of loss.

“Huh.?”

However, when the scar was completely engraved and the evil spirit’s voice began to be heard, the reaction was completely different from before.

“This is…!!!”

I couldn’t hear the evil spirit’s voice. However, I could tell just by looking at the bowl’s expression. The evil god was currently roasting and boiling the demon god’s dishes.

Isn’t it a process of brewing a kind of drinking broth?

‘Huh.’

Finally, the vessel of the demon god knelt down with a very devout expression and began to pray. It really seems like a perfect imitation of a demon god.

‘Maybe…’

Suddenly I had a bad thought.

I thought that perhaps Asmorphia had already been eaten and that her evil spirit might imitate her and make fun of me.

[Did you think that too?]

‘Yes…’

Agaf seems to have thought the same thing about the fraud unfolding before his eyes.

Asmorphia is already dead, and it’s not a good idea that her evil spirit might imitate her.

[Maybe it would be better to accept it. It is better to look at reality than to be caught up in vain hope…]

‘It will help us survive.’

Asmorphia’s complete death was accepted. You may say that she is an evil spirit, alive to exploit me, but there is no way that a being so good at plotting evil would not imitate Asmorphia.

‘In the first place.’

I received a lot of help, but if you ask me if I was as important as my family, it was not true. Moreover, he was the one who prevented me from becoming a subordinate of the evil spirit.

[Asmorphia also tried to use you to end this disaster.]

‘That’s right.’

Asmorphia, like the evil spirit, also tried to use me to end this disaster. She helped me several times to achieve that goal.

There is no difference between Asmorphia and the evil spirit in that they tried to use me.

[However, if you look at the power that you have and can use…]

‘The chest is better.’

Asmorphia was like a kind of Wikipedia. A being who told me everything I didn’t know.

If you think about it, it ended there. He did not directly grant me great power, nor did he provide me with any significant assistance other than providing information. Oh, I did give him a blessing, but it wasn’t at the level of power bestowed by the evil spirit.

‘He sacrificed his life to help me from the evil spirit.’

In a way, because of that act, I became blindly hostile to the evil spirit and fought hard, depriving myself of the opportunity to receive help from the evil spirit.

I came to think that Asmorphia’s sacrifice would become a kind of shackle to defeat disaster and save humanity.

‘Yes, I already decided to fight on this side, but I can’t just look for Asmorphia forever.’

Just as the evil spirit used me as a tool, Asmorphia also tried to use me to prevent disaster. Both of them are beings who tried to use me for their own purposes.

So, it would be better for me to treat them as ‘tools’ as well.

If I move for no reason because of emotion, really precious people, such as my family, my women and teammates who only trust me, and guys like Agaf who risked his soul for me, will get hurt.

So let’s forget about Asmorphia for now. The evil spirit said he would return Asmorphia when everything was over, but that’s something you can just go and be happy about.

The reason I am working under the evil god now is not for anything else, but for my own safety and the protection of our base.

There is no room for anything else to intervene here.

I just switched to a more performant tool.

“Ah. Demon God’s voice. Ugh. I’m happy. It’s a good thing I’m alive. To hear you say such warm words. I received all the compensation for the hundreds of years of suffering until I died after putting Him in my body. Ah. The world is still worth living in… I don’t mind dying. No, I shouldn’t die, but…”

“Hmm.”

What kind of comment did the Demon God make that caused the Demon God’s vessel to leave with such a blank expression?

She, who had been treated as a vessel and tool by the demon god all her life, was completely captivated by the few heart-warming words her evil spirit spoke in imitation of the demon god, and lost her taste.

The broth has been brewed properly. It was literally a broken head situation. The Demon God’s vessel seemed very happy as she consumed the sweet blue medicine without knowing that the opponent was not a Demon God but an Evil God.

Yes, it’s okay to be happy.

“I will help you with all my might. Thank you to the Demon God for giving me true liberation.”

The demon’s vessel smiled brightly and lowered her head.

As someone who knew the truth about this, I couldn’t bear to smile, but I forced a smile and patted her on the shoulder.

[Okay. Think good and good. In the end, didn’t that woman find happiness? If she had remained a servant of the demon god, she would have spent her whole life rolling around like a dog, never receiving any repayment for her love, and in the end, even her body would have been taken away, and she would have died. However, now that my love has been repaid, and I have gained freedom, this is a truly happy ending. The Demon God’s Vessel has just reached its true ending. It’s a good thing.]

Her chest muttered as she looked at the bowl from which she had found her happiness, left to play. It is a being that talks more than you think.

However, that doesn’t mean that something is necessarily wrong, so I nodded and decided to agree with the evil spirit’s opinion.

Because there are such things as good lies in this world.

‘Yes, that’s right. If the Demon God’s vessel had continued to be the Demon God’s servant… He would never have been able to achieve happiness.’

When I thought about that, I felt a little at ease because I felt like I had brought salvation to the vessel of the demon god.

There is no law that says the truth is unconditionally good. If you only pursue the truth, it can end up hurting everyone.

“Then let’s go back. Ah, first, I have to drag that person with me.”

Before we knew it, the pagans were coming around us and kneeling down. It’s not just them. Demonic beasts, including tentacled zombies and synthetic ghouls, were also gathered around us.

They looked at me as if they wanted something.

They wanted me, the new apostle, to give them orders.

“First… Zombies and ghouls die when they leave this area, so they remain. The survivors each pack their belongings and head to Yangsan. “Does anyone know where the water line is?”

“I know, Apostle.”

“Then you bring these people. “Everyone can fight zombies and ghouls, right?”

“Yes. There is plenty of power and plenty of weapons!”

“Are there a lot of weapons?”

“We financed this by robbing police stations and military units.”

“Wow.”

Excellent.

Since I had decided to become an apostle of the evil spirit anyway, these were the people I had to lead along.

“Then I hope you can come by tomorrow. You take responsibility and bring him back.”

“Yes. Please just leave it to me.”

“Oh, and… Um. A healthy dog ​​or cat? There are animals.”

“Are you talking about evil beasts?”

“No, not something big and ugly like that. Something like a pet dog or cat. “Healthy animals that have not been contaminated by evil spirits.”

“Ah. Yes. “You are talking about unholy and filthy beasts that have not taken refuge in God.”

“…”

You’re crazy. I completely enjoyed it.

“Yes, please bring some of those guys. “We are planning to raise him at the base for his mental health, so please keep him as healthy as possible.”

“I understand, Apostle.”

“And that barn? Ranch?”

“Yes?”

“If you can, please bring some livestock, such as cows and pigs, on the way. Chicken too. We will raise it near the base.”

“All right. He wanted to create a paradise on earth by gathering animals and livestock to become eternal idols… I understand the deep meaning of that, Apostle.”

“…”

First, I nodded.

I didn’t intend to become an idol and be worshiped like a god, but I did intend to create paradise on earth.

In any case, according to my words, there are a lot of crazy workers who can become living sacrifices.

It’s still annoying to see the existence of a thug, but I think it’s actually a big business at this level.

Moreover, the evil spirit himself is also suspicious of me, so we can be suspicious of each other and use each other for our own purposes.

It’s not a very bad result.
