Chapter 234 – 234. Why We Need Helpers

Before going back to Hyoseon Girls’ High School, I visited the Hwangban again with Mer. It was to receive instructions from Sataniel on how to restore Mer’s power.

‘What.. Why is it so clean…’

However, unlike before, the macula that came back had all the yellow poison fog gone. As if all the miasma had been sucked back to its original owner.

Even the underground lake, which seemed to cause a skin rash immediately upon contact with the skin, became so clean that the bottom could be seen, and the temple, which was half-engulfed by the roots and was on the verge of collapse, was changed to a new look.

It seems that Sataniel’s seal has been broken and everything has returned to normal.

“The underground lake… Was such clean water..”

“Master, wait… Don’t try to drink it.”

“No! I was just trying to get some…”

Mer knows that I really eat anything. Of course, the image I’ve built up to this point is a bit like that, but no matter how much I eat roughly anything to survive, I’m not stupid enough to drink the water of an underground lake without any filtering process.

‘I thought there was some strange ingredient mixed in the water…’

It’s best to leave these things to Hellus and ask if it’s safe to drink them before eating them. So I tried to put water in the plastic bottle I brought…

“Ah.. Gee, I was mistaken. I’m sorry.. No, but I usually eat as much as I want.. Also, eat some vegetables.”

“Ah, no… The sudden nagging here?”

“These days, the supply of meat has been good, so my picky diet has gotten worse, owner. Then, if I don’t live long, won’t I be the only one who becomes a widow?”

“No.. No matter what I do, I can’t live longer than you… Mer, you don’t have a lifespan..”

“Well.. I can’t deny that.. Still, unbalanced eating is not good. I want to live with you for a long time.”

Mer’s words made me laugh out loud. No matter how much I increase my lifespan, unless I become immortal, I will die earlier than Mer, who has no lifespan. Well, still, saying that I want to live together for a long time was slightly touching, so I squeezed Mer’s hand tightly.

“Hehe…Then shall we go in?”

“I will.”

We stood at the entrance of the temple and called Sataniel. Most of the roots that covered the temple had disappeared, but the roots that covered the entrance still remained.

“Hey, Sataniel. We have come Please open the door. If you don’t open it, you won’t be able to get in.”

[Come in.]

“Yes.”

The roots were sucked into the ground and the entrance was opened. It seems that he has no intention of coming out to see me.

‘Well… Sataniel is also known as an evil god…’

It’s not an omniscient god, but it’s right that I, a human scumbag, dare to bend down and enter… But, although he’s definitely a god, for some reason, I didn’t feel as much awe as Indicron or Kashinax.

Is it because the rank is lower than those gods?

Anyway, Mer and I went deep inside the temple. After walking for almost an hour, Sataniel’s residence finally appeared. He was half-buried in some huge pile of papers, so he couldn’t be seen. Could it be… Am I handling all the overdue tasks by myself…? Me and Mer approached Sataniel, careful not to collapse the pile of papers.

[Have you come?]

“Ah. Yes..”

Sataniel, who came close and faced him, had changed a lot. Clearly, right after the seal was lifted, Sataniel was an old man who was dying, although the atmosphere was a little overbearing. Even the roots stuck in his back like straws were sucking Sataniel’s energy, so it wouldn’t be strange if he died right away…

[Why are you looking at me like that?]

“Ah, no.. It has changed a lot.”

The being looking at me with a flash of light had a look that really matched the fallen angel. First of all, Sataniel was very young. He has completely black skin, thick black hair, and red tattoos all over his face. Plus he had blackened wings and a distorted halo.

Also, if it weren’t for the tattoos on his face, he would have looked very handsome. As expected.. Since she is a former angel, is her face sculpted well..

I couldn’t recall the former inspiration from that handsome man. Even the last time he talked in voice, and now he has regained his strength, so he is using a mental wave such as six battles. Like other gods…

[Because of the aftermath of the seal, you showed an ugly appearance last time.]

“The aftermath of the seal…?”

[Okay. Since there is no way to seal me intact, the stupid angels have resorted to their own tricks.]

“Uh…”

[This area was called the macula, right? The poison fog that spread over the macula was all my energy. It inserted a straw into my body and released it to the surroundings to prevent me from breaking the seal by accumulating my strength. I just sucked it all up again.]

The poison fog that spread all over the macula was all his power. The angels pulled out Sataniel’s power and set a double barrier that prevented them from approaching Sataniel.

Now that the seal had been broken, Sataniel had regained all his powers and returned to his prime.

‘By the way… I just looked…’

Why is the achievement not being accomplished even after encountering Sataniel? Up to this point, the achievements emerged the moment they encountered the demons, either directly or indirectly. With the words that he became the servant of the evil spirit.

However, even though Sataniel encountered his main body, such achievement achievement notifications did not appear.

No, no matter what I did at any moment, the achievement was not achieved. But why didn’t I feel anything strange… It’s rather strange that I just understood and moved on…

It wasn’t until I met Sataniel that I realized that something was blocking my path.

[Your expression seems strange. If there is any delusion, tell me… That’s why the demons sent you to me…]

“There… That’s…”

I explained my achievements to Sataniel. Then he listened to me quietly, then nodded his head and told me what he thought.

[Hmm.. The achievements don’t appear.. First of all, I am also a servant of the three. He’s the most outstanding servant. Maybe that’s why…]

“Yes..?”

[To put it simply… First of all, I have a much higher rank or position than you. Because the years lived are different. However, their position of ‘servant’ is the same. Therefore, you cannot be my servant. It means that you can’t have a one-sided master-servant relationship… Even if it’s an agent or an apostle, I don’t know.]

“Aha.. I understand. What do you mean…”

Somehow I didn’t feel awe… I think it was because the positions were equal. But being a god and also a servant of another god… Rather than vaguely evaluating Sataniel’s rank as low, I think the three gods who had been friendly with me up until this point were extremely high in rank.

So.. I was the only employee left in the company as an ordinary employee, so I had been alone with the board of directors until this point.

In the first place, I said that the fact that I felt the evil gods as female was because the gods adjusted to me…

‘Yes.. The first time I ran into an indicron dying after accidentally eating the inner layer of black sand on the roof of a supermarket.. I’m sure the bugs were crushing and breaking and forcibly changed it to sound like a human voice and talked to me..’

In fact, demons have no gender. I just catered to my taste… Of course, Carshinax, who has a dogmatic side, tailored me to his own taste…

Oops… Just thinking about Carshinax… Makes my groin swell. I’m going crazy. This is also serious she broke me…

As she calmed her excitement by singing her national anthem to herself, blaming Carshinax, Sataniel, who had been stroking her chin, murmured.

[Hmm, but when I saw it, it doesn’t seem to be because of that.]

“Isn’t it just because of that…?”

[You can see a line of causal law that is tangled… Somewhere with a slightly different grain… Such detailed causal law work is easy to miss by great people… But you can’t fool my eyes… Just stand still. If you move, you have to start over.]

“Uh.. Yes..”

Sataniel ordered Mer to step aside from her for a moment, then waved her fingers at her for a while. Soon, the third eye that had been closed on his forehead opened. Those eyes contemplated me…

[This is terrible…]

“What do you mean…?”

[All achievements up to this point have been hidden. There is an entity blocking the way.]

“No, what do you mean? Are you saying I got hit by something?”

[Yes.. There is only one guy who can do this… When did you… Meet the apostle of Mangwijeon?]

“An apostle of Mangwijeon…? Members of Mangwijeon were all around me…”

[No. Those who are not your slaves. Among those who are not your slaves, think of a unique species belonging to Mangwijeon.]

An unusual class belonging to Mangwijeon. Harin is also Mangwijeon, and Heeseon is also Mangwijeon. But except they are my slaves…

‘Uh… No way… Meiling…?’

A woman who was on the same team as me at Jeon-yul Mansion, changed her gender to a man and introduced herself as Baiyu, but was later robbed by me and her memory erased and abandoned..

Could it be that.. She was the one who was robbed.. Was she me, not her?

“Uh… That’s when I met a trickster named Meiling. The first time I met him was at a place called the Tremor Mansion… But now that I think about it, I haven’t heard an achievement notification since then.”

[From there, you have a strange line twisted. They who took away the druids… Played a prank on you. It’s a fucking joke. The Demon Gods, who were only two people, must have been crazy enough to deal with the gods of the pantheon and didn’t pay attention until now… It’s a trick enough to deceive even the eyes of a god… You must have felt just strange…]

Soon, his index finger, which had been embroidering the air, stopped right in the middle of my forehead.

[However… All tricks lose their power in front of me…]

[Titling!!!]

[Achievement achieved! ‘Attack the Tremor Mansion’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘The Secret of the Puppet Master’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘Bad boy of the black market’]
[Achievement achieved! ‘The one who has tamed sin’]

[Achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement reward will be given.]

Countless achievement reward notifications popped up in an instant. It was hard for me to wake up from the notification that made my ears go numb. At that time, Sataniel laughed as he saw me embarrassed. A very elated expression… I could see why that handsome man was the most useful servant of the self-proclaimed Three Lords.

‘This is why.. Indy Cron told me to meet a helper…’

I now understand why they told me to quickly enter the abyss. Perhaps Indicron felt something strange…

Soon, a halo appeared behind Sataniel’s back. At the same time as that light, another achievement was accomplished.

[I encountered the evil god ‘Sataniel’!]
[Congratulations? You have become the ‘apostle’ of evil spirits!]
[One step closer to the evil spirit!]
[The stigma of corruption is engraved!]

[All Pantheon faction players feel some reluctance towards you!]
[The power of Indicron is activated! The effect of the stigma is halved.]
[Botamilli’s power is activated! You won’t be seen.]

[Achievement achieved! ‘Apostle of Sataniel’]
[Achievement reward will be given.]

A notice that he became a subordinate rather than a servant of an evil spirit. And the pupil-shaped stigma engraved on his palm overlapped with the stigma of the other three evil spirits.

[The way you look at me has changed. Have you finally recognized me as a god?]

“Yes… Lord Sataniel..”

I bowed my head to the first fallen angel of enlightenment.

The first impression that he was just a weak old man has long since disappeared.
