## Chapter 1435 – Heavenly Demon

「ㅡTOOKWAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKANG!!!!!」

The Lich’s beam of destruction, deployed at transcendental speed, hurtles towards me. A grand magic that blankets the entire sky. This form of annihilation, unleashed with the sole intent of crushing Kim Kkat, is nothing less than pure darkness.

If such darkness were to fall upon the earth…

The world itself would not survive unscathed.
It would spell the ruin of an entire world.

But for those ominous New Humans the Lich created, it would merely be a favorable reset event.

I can’t allow that.

“Alright.”

Amidst the exploding realization, I stared directly at the spectacle. A single second shatters into thousands, millions, billions of fragments. In a world seemingly frozen in time, I reconstructed my understanding.

ㅡPachik.

Power overflowing from my flesh.

ㅡTsuzzut.

My body restored to perfection.

ㅡJureuk.

The dark energy that had been discoloring my skin and consuming my body drains away, flowing down my form. Yes. The clue had been there from the start. It makes no sense that this Heavenly Demon Kim Kkat couldn’t overcome something like that.

The evil spirits that had just appeared are by no means imaginary entities.

They exist in reality, though they are not easily observed. Perhaps because they are souls, they exist across different dimensions. But their resentment… When I was threatened, they manifested in the real world. Thus, their forms were revealed, and they interfered with me.

However…

I transformed those evil spirits that had descended into the real world according to my will. Inside this barrier-like shield, I rebuked and overwhelmed them, then reconstructed them to my liking.

They must not exist as mere evil spirits.

As I command.
As I declare.

They must exist as reformed, benevolent spirits.

And what made that possible is…

My declaration.

My will.

ㅡHwarrrrrrrrrrrruk!!!

I squeeze out the last remaining strength.

ㅡKugung!

A roar echoes as the Heavenly Demon Shield, deployed like a barrier around me, intensifies. The Heavenly Demon Shield. I lower its density, inflating it like a balloon to make it larger, to cover more ground.

As wide as possible.

Enough to defend against the Lich’s destruction. I spread it with my will, reconstructing every single component of the space.

Thereby, I…

ㅡHwarreureuk.

Instantly became a pure white sun.

Me, existing inside a translucent white shield.
If I’ve done this much, it’s over.

“Block it. That ominous energy.”

And…

「ㅡKugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugung!!!」

In normalized time, destruction plunges in.

“Ah.”

But the destruction is not realized.

The great beam unleashed by the Lich…

Failed to penetrate my shield at all, and scattered.

ㅡSarruk.

As easily as a mirage vanishing before my eyes.

「Wh, what!!!!!!」

The Lich’s mental wave, seemingly greatly astonished, is launched.

「How!!!!!!」

The destructive grand magic he had performed had instantly returned to nothing.
Of course, he would be surprised.

「How could you!!!!!!!!」

Normally, such a thin shield would not have withstood such grand magic for even a second before being utterly shattered. The destruction unleashed by the Lich would have not only broken through me and my shield but would have also ravaged this land.

But right now, this shield is intact. It simply exists, unharmed by the torrent of power the Lich unleashed.

Thus, the Lich’s great beam did not reach the ground but was neutralized and extinguished.

“How could I block it, you ask?”

The exploding realization had already been refined and tempered within my brain. Behold. Did I not block it easily?

“I wonder if you can even comprehend this?”

I understood clearly.

What I am doing now is…

ㅡHwarreureureuk!

Creating a kind of otherworldy, independent space. Simply put, it can be called a barrier. Constructing this Kim Kkat’s barrier with divine power, altering the `reality` that exists within its range.

Truly, a power befitting the name of a god.

“The difference in stature is far too great, you little Lich. You, who have not even become a god, will never be able to understand this.”

「Nonsense!!!!!!!!」

The Lich’s mental wave, as if screaming.

The power of a true god.

An otherworldy space. Kim Kkat Field. The Lich and I were on different levels from the start. Unlike me, who has become a god, the Lich is merely a crazed, undead magician. The difference in stature is different. This is the difference between a Heavenly Demon and an Undead.

So you can never break through.

Within my deployed barrier.
The Lich cannot properly exert his power.

Because the barrier is a space that operates according to my rules.

It is absurdly powerful, but it is only natural. Bringing one’s barrier into reality is something that only a god can do.

“This is my realization.”

It was the same just now. With the Lich’s seal, I was in a state where any damage I took would be amplified, leading to my ruin. But, as if erecting a barrier, creating a circular shield allowed me to defend to some extent.

And the evil spirits that appeared within the shield. At first, I believed without a doubt that they were my soul friends. But because the Lich told the truth, I learned their true identities, and from that point on, the evil spirits took on a completely concrete form, even unleashing curses.

That’s right.

The inside of the shield was already an otherworldy space. A barrier that I had brought into being. So, the moment I recognized them as true evil spirits, they regained the form of rampaging evil spirits according to my authority. My recognition made it so. Because that barrier is my space.

“And I changed them back into benevolent spirits.”

That too is a natural `alteration` that I can perform.

From there, I realized.

A realization foreseen from the moment I imagined a barrier and erected a shield.

“Yes.”

That’s it.

ㅡHwarreureuk.

“Only now have I realized the true power of a god.”

The overflowing, absolute power was incomparably more intense than before. My strength begins to recover rapidly. The powers I had consumed return. It’s only natural. My power had been blooming all around this area while I was fighting the Lich.

So, it’s only natural that my power would recover when I erected a barrier in such a place.

“I, who have awakened as a god, will not be defeated by the likes of you, an Undead.”

ㅡCheoeok.

I point my finger and calmly state the fact.

The Lich can no longer defeat me.

「I cannot accept it!!!! You are not a god but merely an evil demon with powerful strength!!! This world!!! This land!!! And this dimension!!! Belong to those who were born and raised here!!! They are ours!!! So I will never allow beings from other worlds and dimensions to trample upon them!!!! I!!! High Priest Angrahel will definitely stop you!!!!」

He raves and spews curses.

ㅡTsupat.

I sense a torrent of power. ㅡUrururureung!!! The darkness hanging in the sky is undulating. ㅡSeumeolseumeol. Soon, the darkness begins to decompose. The darkness, now in particulate form, seeps into the Lich. The darkness that had covered the entire sky gathers into the Lich.

I could clearly feel it.

“Hehehe, anyone listening would think I’m the bad guy.”

The Lich is now…

Drawing out all of his power. All the power of darkness is concentrated at one point. ㅡKugugugugung! The void distorts due to the excessive power gathering. ㅡPachichik! The earth also undulates, spewing lava.

What was created in that way was…

「ㅡGooooooo.」

An annihilation that had gained a clear form.

ㅡPudeuk.

I watched it and twisted my neck.

「After becoming a Lich through forbidden arts, I have sought answers and solutions for thousands of years, and have also fought. I am the one who knows best that what I am doing now will lead to the unfortunate result of wiping out the existing human race.」

It was silent.

「I cannot accept your ideology, but I acknowledge your strength. But. This is the end. I, who have abandoned my body and ascended as a demigod of the undead, will have another chance after death, but you will not.」

He merely floated a small sphere of condensed annihilation on his hand, his red eyes gleaming, and spoke calmly. An attitude that seemed to have regained stability and reason in a strange way.

「…Yes. Again. I just have to do it again. I failed this time too… But as I have always done, there will surely be another chance.」

But no.
The Lich is still consumed by madness.

「Liberating humanity from the Outer Gods in that celestial space… After conquering all other worlds, outer worlds, and celestial spaces… Finally, I will be able to destroy all the unknown, ominous Outer Gods that exist beyond that dimension. And thereby… Protect the souls of weak humans. And safely send them to where they should be.」

You are a fake savior who doesn’t even realize what you are doing.

“No.”

The only thing I will do is this.

“Impossible. You’re going to die here. And you don’t deserve it, you bastard.”

Just assaulting him with facts.

「It was I, High Priest Angrahel, who should have become a god!!!! Not you!!!!」

The Lich’s anger erupts.

ㅡPachichichichik!!

The annihilation in the Lich’s hand goes berserk. I feel an extreme sense of foreboding from it. Yes. He’s still a Lich who’s been around for thousands of years, even if he’s rotten.

That is dangerous.

I must stop it. What else is there for this new Heavenly Demon Kim Kkat to do? It is what I must do.

“I’ll show you the difference in stature, you crazy son of a bitch.”

It is something I can naturally do.

“Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”

So I do it.

“Heavenly Demon Barrier (天魔結界).”

ㅡPaat.

Simply.

I construct a barrier as I desire.

ㅡHwarreureuk, Hwarreureureureuk!!

The deployed barrier intensifies and widens. The inside of it burns pure white. To stop that, I have no choice but to construct the barrier to its maximum extent. And that is not something I cannot do.

And.

“Bloom.”

Watching it, I once again declare and command.

“My vassals.”

The appearance of my vassals.

「ㅡSararak!」

“Kuh, Kuaaaaaaaa!”
“Uaaaaaaaah!!!”
“Aaaaaaack!!”

ㅡSeureuk.
ㅡSeureureureuk.

From among the blooming sugar cane, black people begin to crawl out. The created black people, driven mad by pain, screamed and spewed curses. Shrieks. More shrieks. Truly a horrific sight.

But I clearly face it.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!”

They were the victims of imperialism, the absolute evil of human history. Those who were enslaved to cultivate sugar cane. They were exploited for their labor, suffering until their deaths. They ended their one and only lives in pain. Absolutely unforgivable… Victims of absolute evil.

But it’s not just them.

“Krooooooo!! Oooooooo!”
“Leopolddddddd!!!”
“Cruel Belgian slaughterers!!!!”
“Aaaaaaa!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

From among the crawling black people, black people from 19th century Congo, who had lost their wrists and ankles, bloom like flowers. The number of Congolese people brutally massacred by Belgians… At least 10 million.

The summoned 10 million Congolese black people divided the infinitely sprouting sugar cane and the world.

「Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!」

Behold.

The screams of pain from those 10 million.

It’s power enough to shake the barrier.

ㅡCheoeok.

The moment I gestured, watching it.

ㅡHwarreureureuk!!

Everything is engulfed in flames.

And what appears is.

“U, Uaaaaaack!! My store!!! My storeeeeeee!!!”
“T, the blacks!!! The blacks burned down my storeeeeeee!!”
“Aaaaaaack!! Please!! Please stop!!!!”
“Stop…! Don’t burn anymore…”
“That store was!!! My dream and hopeeeeeee!!”
“A, Aaa..! The children’s tuition!!! My store!! The blacks took my storeeeeeee!!!”

The Korean-American merchants who lost all their assets during the LA riots… They lost all their assets to the blacks. Estimated damages of $350 million. An absurd amount. They screamed as much as that astronomical figure.

“Yes.”

These people are all.

People who have helped me gain enlightenment so far.

“That’s why they exist in my barrier.”

ㅡBuuuuuuuuuuung!
ㅡKkiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!

In the sky above the constructed world, the Wright brothers fly happily in their airplane, and a giant Bogeyman grabs the black people and the LA Korean-American merchants with tongs and puts them in his sack.

“Behold. My barrier.”

Mersin and Bulbazha. And the evil spirits of other prisons. No. The benevolent spirits. They fly in all directions, scattering laughter. The barrier was being built up, forming a completely concrete shape.

Lastly.

“Techyaaaaaaaaaaaat!!”
“Techyaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!!

The leaf parts of the sugar cane twist and transform into the shapes of ominous creatures with heterochromatic eyes of red and green.

Thus, the barrier was completed.

“This is my space.”

I looked at everything in the barrier with a sense of nostalgia.

“Futaba, no. It’s Kim Kkat Park.”

A beautiful utopia.

Heaven. Paradise. As spoken of in each religion.

That is exactly this place.

An otherworldy space created by this Kim Kkat. A barrier that has descended into reality.
