## Chapter 1425 – The Approaching Darkness

I can trust Elise. Elise will handle it. Because she’s Divine Fred, my divine friend whom I’ve seen so far. She’s capable enough.

Of course, I’ll still keep an eye on things.

Then everything’s okay. There’s nothing to worry about. Elise will surely fulfill her duty even in this extreme situation. I just need to believe and fight.

As she said, Elise will definitely save at least one more person.

Believing that.

I looked down at the ground.

“Aaaaaaaah!!!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaah!!!”
“Uooooooooh!!!”

It was a scene of utter chaos.

The extreme screams, like those from a burning barn. Shrieks that surpassed the limit. Ultimate terror. They were the sounds of the weak-minded breaking down as they witnessed destruction, the desperate rhythm of lives being shattered.

A noise that seemed to echo from the very bottom of the animal realm.

“Ooook!!! Oooooooook!!! Keuaaaaaaak!!”
“Weeeeeeeeeek!!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

The sky was already half covered in darkness, and monsters were invading, making the situation unbearably 불안. And now, at this moment, the entire sky turned black.

This is not a fear that ordinary humans can handle. It’s an extreme situation where enduring it is impossible, let alone overcoming it.

It’s natural to scream madly and collapse or tear at your hair and run.

“Aaaaaaaah!”
“Kaaaaaaaah!!”
“Save me!!! Save me!!!”
“Mom!!! Mom!!! Mommmmm!!!”

And that’s exactly what was happening.

No. It’s even more serious than I expected. Perhaps driven mad by fear, an old man was trying to run while doing a handstand and calling for his mother, and a squad-sized group of boys and girls were marching and screaming while tearing at their hair.

Sturdy adults were scattering in all directions, aimlessly going back and forth as if they didn’t know where to escape.

Despair.

Fear.

Panic.

It was like looking into a box of solitude filled with cursed, deformed insects. Nightmarish creatures struggling in terror. Insects tangled together, fighting madly without even being allowed to escape…!

“Get out of the way!!! Get out of the way!!!!”
“Keuaaaaaaak!!”
“Mom!!! Dad!!! Dadddddddy!!!!”

They’re even fighting!!!

People, adults and children, were fighting each other to death in a panic!!! The only reason for the fight was that they bumped into each other while running away!!! Fighting for such a reason!!! If this were a normal situation, they would both be beaten to death by me!!!!!

“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!!!”

And it’s not just here!!!

Darkness spreading all over the world!!! Everywhere! Everyone! Will scream in panic and rummage around with clouded minds!!!

The Lich, by unleashing the darkness, has plunged this world into a place more heinous than the animal realm!!! A world that has fallen instantly!!! This planet is now nothing more than a giant jar of solitude!!

Did you prepare this?

Did you foresee all of this?

ㅡKieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

The exploding roar was my anger, a condemnation of this madness! My eyes widened until they tore. The anger that erupted from within took shape, like that!

Almighty.

I clad myself in the power of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

ㅡHwaaaak!

The burst of light illuminated the space. Light. I must shine light to let them know I’m here. Adding darkness to panic will only lead to ruin. Humans who have lost their light are bound to despair and wail like this.

That’s why I will add my light to this panic.

“Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”

Because if I don’t show them that this Kim Kat, the light of hope, exists, no control will be possible! I have to stop this madness!

“Heavenly Demon Aggro!!!!”

ㅡHwaaaaaaak!!!

An exploding flash.

The white light emanating from me spread in all directions, leaving a strong trail. If a great darkness has covered this world, then what I, the seeker of Fusion Confucianism, must do is clear.

Again.

No!

To cover this world with even stronger light!!!

“If it’s a world where darkness has bloomed!!!”

ㅡHwareureureureuk!!!

The flames covering my body emit an even more intense light! Entertainer Kim Kat is a body that knows how to capture people’s attention!!! There’s nothing I can’t do!!!

“The Heavenly Demon (天魔) who denies the heavens will deny that darkness!!!”

ㅡPaaat!

Light bloomed around me. It was such a bright light that it reminded me of the flower garden I saw earlier. Like this, it looked as if I was inside a large white sphere.

A white sun floating in the sky.
That’s who I am now.

At this rate, everyone in the city will be able to recognize me.

Originally, light is more prominent in the dark. I will become the lamp of Fusion Confucianism. Like a lighthouse, I will guide the people who have lost their light and been swallowed by the darkness.

“Look at me.”

The sky was already completely black. Even though it was daytime, the sky itself was covered and dark. But it was a strange darkness. It was dark, but not completely pitch black, so you could see your surroundings. Anyone would do that. But just seeing this world with your eyes will only lead you to be consumed by madness, like the frenzied people down there. You have to see the world with your mind as well as your eyes, but this darkness has even clouded that mind.

So look at me.

“Little humans.”

ㅡTsuzut.

A noble sun.

I looked down at the ground again.

“…”
“…”
“…”

The people who had been screaming in panic were looking up at me with blank faces. The aunties who were screaming in an orderly manner in a squad, the beggars who were trying to move their bodies using only their left foot and the top of their heads. Even the boys who were looking for their mom and dad while waving their fists.

They all looked up at me.

ㅡJureuk.

The moment a single tear fell from their eyes.

“Pull yourselves together!!!!”

A familiar voice is heard.

“This way!!! Come this way!!! Get your minds right!!! Don’t scream, follow us! You must live!!! You must hold on to your minds to live!!!”

It was Elise.

ㅡPaaat!

At the same time, a faint ray of light emanated from the ground.

“Come here!!”
“Everyone!!!”
“This way!!!”

The priests create light with their divine power to guide the humans.

People began to move towards the priests like small fish drawn to the light of an anglerfish… Yes. You’re doing well. As seen through the eyes of this Heavenly Demon, it’s admirable.

Just do that.

I don’t know how far they’ll be able to escape, and I don’t know if there’s any place left to escape to in this world.

But if the priests are down there, there is hope.

I’ll have to be careful for a while when fighting while destroying the world.

I looked down one last time. People who had found some order were moving with the priests. It would be better to scatter than to stick together… They’ll handle it. Elise is doing well too.

“Then.”

Let’s move a little further away from here.

The Lich’s target is me. There’s nothing good about being near here. If an attack aimed at me goes even slightly astray, it will turn the city to dust. But it’s also difficult to go too far. If the city is attacked the moment I move away, there’s nothing I can do.

Honestly, nothing is good… What if they attack the city the moment I move away?

Not good.
There’s too much to protect this time.

I thought about it for a moment, but I, as the Heavenly Demon, made a decision.

It is I who chooses, decides, and takes responsibility.

“No problem.”

It’s a disaster of this magnitude. My girls who are far away have already finished assessing the situation. Then? They’ll prepare appropriately. And gather and come this way. My women are bound to come this way.

Because they’re not the kind of women who would let me fight alone.

So I can leave the job of guarding the surroundings to them. The problem is that they’re probably also dealing with the situation over there, but anyway, I’ll just have to wait until then.

ㅡPachichichik!
ㅡPachichichichichichik!!

It was the moment I flew to a suitable place.

The sky covered in darkness began to ripple as if it had a physical substance. It’s an incomprehensible sight. The air. No. The atmosphere… is being mixed with something from another dimension.

The sky has become like a black swamp.

ㅡPachichichichichichik!!

Black lightning strikes like a dragon, thrusting its head forward. The onrushing darkness seeped into an incomprehensible space, and soon.

“Ooh.”

An absurdly powerful energy.

And such an incredibly strong energy was emanating. The senses of the Heavenly Demon. The instincts of a god. And the experience of this Kim Kat. All of them are sending out extreme warnings. Something powerful is coming.

“Heu!”

Something powerful…!

If it’s powerful!

“Hehahahahahaha!!!”

Come this way!!!

If it’s such a powerful and evil being, then surely…! The situation will be resolved as soon as I kill him! Rather, it’s clear! Good! It couldn’t be better! Crushing and destroying something is my nature, my hobby, and my duty!!!

“Come this way, Lich!!!!!!!!”

The moment I shouted that!!!

「ㅡPachichichichichichichik!!!」

Terribly powerful lightning scattered.

The black sky, which had gained a physical substance, shattered as if collapsing.

ㅡPachangchang!!!

From the center of the shattered sky, something descended with fragments of dimensions, as if it were descending.

ㅡ…

It was an ominous presence, as ominous as the darkness hanging in the sky. The one who scattered fear had such a clear form that it was just a skull that looked incredibly strong.

It’s a black skull, as if it had been burned.

The exposed ribs looked emaciated, but they were firm and overflowing with luster. It was as if they were made of obsidian. On its shoulders were metal armor, jeweled ornaments, and wads of paper that looked like they had been torn from scrolls, and below the slender vertebrae. A black skirt, like that of a priest, was wrapped around it.

In its bony hand was a staff of curses filled with the power of destruction.

Its head.

It was a skull of nightmares that took a very evil form. It was just so incredibly evil from birth that even its skull was twisted. There was even an interview record of the obstetrician who said that the mother had a lot of trouble with the shape of her head when she gave birth to it.

ㅡHwareureureuk.

A red aura was raging in its two eyes, and on its head was a large, black crown, like that of a high priest or pope.

Is it a leader of a pagan religion?

He’s wearing a very religious hat.

Anyway, its size was over 2 meters, and the 2-meter-tall skull Lich spoke as a mental wave.

「I declare to the evil demon god of another world.」

A demon god from another world?

But damn it!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s not important right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Wait a minute!!!!!!!!!! Let me speak first!!!!!!!!!”

I definitely wanted to say this when I saw you!!! Before he starts spouting nonsense!! Me first!!! I have to do it first!!! My extreme senses are focused, and one second is finely divided into tens of thousands of strands. In the small amount of time that a moment is divided into countless pieces, I think. It was like a counter performed with words.

Quickly.

The capabilities of the Heavenly Demon. Concentrating all of that. Charging up the power. Before he completes a new word, like that.

I shout loudly.

「Your mother is a whoreeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」

This is.

「A fucking bitch gave birth to something that looks just like her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」

It was the voice of hope.

And it will spread all over the world.

Such a voice of hope.

ㅡWhore!!! Whore!!! Whore!!!
ㅡWhore!!! Whore!!! Whore!!!
ㅡWhore!!! Whore!!! Whore!!!

The echoes spread.

That beautiful rhythm.

Like that legendary world.

In the end of that world where ships are said to fall along with waterfalls, it is said that they sing a song of peace.

It was like the melody played by the volunteers of UNICEF and Doctors Without Borders.
