Chapter 111 – 111. Succession of Death and Chaos (3)

Mortus’ suggestion.

A request to punish the Elder Gods who screwed him over.

Naturally, I have to point out that.

“Is it okay if I kill them all?”

Naturally, I was planning on thoroughly stopping those who were going to fight with me anyway. From my perspective, it was like I was just living and then suddenly got hit, and these guys were trying to kill me by citing original sin and other things I didn’t know about.

I didn’t have a good personality to the point where I just ignored their tricks against people who hadn’t done anything yet.

If you try to kill for no reason, you create a reason to die.

If there is no reason, just create it.

It’s the same for both people.

And Mortus seemed to like my answer, tapping his toes and speaking to me.

“Ah, it’s still good. It’s nice and refreshing. But, can you really kill them all?”

“It’s not about whether you can do it or not, it’s because it has to be done.”

“…Heh, yes. Well, I guess it was a good thing I gave you that power. Do your best. For now, I only gave you ‘that’.”

“…Is this all for now?”

“I might get more later, so look forward to it.”

“…No shit.”

So, I guess this is just a waste of time.

“Well, I like you. You’re sure to break it off, right? The woman you tried to break up with ran away so quickly that you couldn’t do it.”

Are you talking about Elizabeth?

And after the demon sultan’s possession was lifted, not only Elizabeth but also Gawain managed to get up, and at the same time, Eris also held on.

Those who survived while most of them fainted were literally proving that they were one of the strongest people on earth.

Gawain, Elizabeth came up to me and said:

“…I just couldn’t bear it. Clark, how on earth were you able to endure it after seeing that?”

“Don’t ask me. I just endured because I could endure.”

“More than that, Clark, are you okay? You got something strange from that damn old woman, right?”

The robe I am wearing.

Shogus, who was checking my body while wiggling, looked at Elizabeth, and at the same time, my robe was wiggling and then he was saying something.

Should this be called a voice?

Is it the will of the Shogus?

Or is it the will of the Demon Sultan?

…

It moved strangely and spoke in a voice that I didn’t know whether to say it was vocalizing or babbling.

-…Remarks, attention…Of.

So you’re saying be careful what you say?

Naturally, I don’t know if it’s the Demon Sultan speaking through the Shogus that is currently covering my body, or if it’s the will of the Shogus, but I think he’s a little angry at me calling him something strange.

He was quiet, probably because he couldn’t bring himself to openly confront Dick, but when Elizabeth said something, he seemed to get angry.

Demon Sultan’s Chosen.

And it even acts as a messenger capable of containing that huge presence.

“…For now, I’m fine, Elizabeth. This can’t kill me anyway.”

-…Caution, wind. Deal with the Demon Sultan – He is only affected by your death, and has no interest in the life or death of other entities…■■■■■■■■■■■■!!!!

And I use the power I received from Mortus. Naturally, it is the most powerful one.

I will kill your existence.

And when he lightly scratches the robe with the blade of the soul spark that contains that power, the robe immediately begins to shake. Well, it’s not a very expensive robe, but of course the robe’s wriggling appearance is the perfect cosmic horror in itself.

And Mortus looks on with a happy face as he watches me wield that power, and at the same time, his eyes shine.

It’s extremely burdensome, but at this moment, I’m grateful for giving me this power.

Naturally, they are called Shogus, but my level is higher.

This is the abyss, the existence of stars.

Those who say he is the monster who killed his master cannot have a higher rank than me, the grandson of the Demon Sultan.

Since I am an existence-annihilating type who can absolutely kill anyone of lower rank than me, of course I am the one holding the sword hilt.

Of course, ordering the rankings must be done clearly so that there is no end to the situation.

“If you fuss, you will die. I will accept the Demon Sultan’s surveillance, but that doesn’t mean I will ignore your modifications. Anyway, you can just summon another ‘Shoggus’ through Dick. That’s all you need to do is add more people to watch, so don’t fuss and be quiet. Shall we do it?”

-…Riot, dangerous, didn’t do anything to the owner.

“I mean, you tried to kill me by following that old woman’s orders.”

-No. I can’t. The moment he was about to do so, the Demon Sultan fell into a trap. Master, clever. Clever and meticulous. Therefore, obey the owner and no one else has the right to mistreat this object.

“So, I will give you an order now. Kill only the enemies I tell you to kill, and when I tell you to move, act accordingly. Shogus. If your actions against the people around me are confirmed, you will die to me.”

-Understand, obey the owner, don’t like being sick.

…I don’t know how I ended up having to do something like this again.

What is certain is that they have no hostility towards me, and they are very aggressive towards others except me.

And of course, just knowing that you can definitely control it with the power you received from Mortus is a great harvest.

And, as if he was satisfied with seeing me control it with his own power, Mortus looked at me with happy eyes.

It was as if it had been confirmed that I was his successor.

I feel as if something has stuck in my nose, but the problem is that my situation is not that good, and I have confirmed that I have enough strength to definitely strangle the Demon Sultan’s watcher, and the Demon Sultan is also deceiving me about my survival. Situation.

A situation where you have your feet on both sides.

No, in fact, the Demon Sultan just descended on his own accord in response to Mortus’ visit.

…

That gave me a clear picture of Dick’s situation.

“Good, good, good. Very good. You have already understood the source of my power and used it to slay the Demon Sultan’s dog. As expected, it was a good thing I gave you the ‘power to kill’.”

“I would like to ask, but perhaps there was a being with a power called ‘the right to kill primates’.”

Cassandra’s son, and the power used by Diabolus.

Naturally, since he deals with corpses and the power of death, he uses the ‘right to kill primates’.

They had the right to preemptively kill humans or humanoid creatures, and of course the party members were made up of humans, elves, and dwarves, and they almost died from their incredible power.

Each and every one of them was emitting energy so powerful that it would surely kill any primate, and they rushed at us with all their might to kill us.

I intuitively knew that this was the power Diabolus gained while dealing with the power of death, and that it was similar to the power I have now.

“Oh, that? If you really want to be specific, it means gaining the power to ruthlessly kill primates. That’s what many murderers and animals that kill people get. You know that? It’s like an animal that is particularly good at catching and killing people. It’s the power that resides in those things. .”

“What is the conclusion?”

“The power you have is higher. It is a power specialized for humans and various humanoids to simply kill a single human, and you must have been very surprised because killing a humanoid is harder than usual. Right? In the end, it is a power that helps you kill. “It’s not the power to kill. It’s useless compared to something like that. It’s not even close to the power I have.”

Well, there’s a difference between having to shut up and search and sharpening a blade so you can kill someone.

“I only contacted my source, but it is far from my power. In the sense that I was able to power up the skill to kill people, I would have gained divinity, but in the end, I was destroyed by a mortal… Well. , That’s all. Besides, you don’t need the rest right now, so ask me later.”

“From my point of view, I hope there is no need to ask.”

“Why~? Did you really think you could get away from me after receiving that power?”

After saying that, the Minister of Death drinks the tea made by Anna and enjoys a long-awaited outing.

He suddenly appeared and gave me this power.

It’s a strength that is absolutely necessary for me to survive right now, but this could be thrown at me later.

…

“If someone suitable for this power comes out later, give it to that person.”

“If such a being exists.”

“There will be.”

“If people like you were common, it would be a disaster in its own way.”

“It’s funny that the main culprit who created this fucked up world would say something like that.”

“Hey, no pecks allowed!”

Well, that’s good.

I will somehow clean up what I messed up, and at the same time, it gives me strength.

Of course, I don’t plan on holding it for long, and it wouldn’t work if the power of death, which should be the blade of discipline, is left in the hands of someone crazy about revenge like me for a long time.

Of course, I know that people’s minds are different when they enter and leave the bathroom, so I don’t know what will happen after that.

That’s why the Demon Sultan was wary of me being subjugated by the Minister of Death and sent Shogus, and in many ways, I was being watched and noticed.

My feeling is that on days when such a sudden opportunity comes, you will most likely get caught up in something quite unpleasant and messy the next time, so I think you should be careful about what you do in the future.

There is no harm in being careful.

This world is already ruled by Elder Gods, and you have to go to find out what awaits you.

This is an era in which the knowledge, laws, rules, and human image that I used to know can all change.

Even now, I see Elizabeth glaring at the Shogus next to me, ready to rip it off at any moment.

I’ll have to ask Elizabeth about what’s in Spartal.

Even though it will be different, it’s better than not knowing.

I just hope that there are not more variables than expected.

Anyway, next time.

Ask Dick about the ‘extortion’ he received from the Demon Sultan.

“Dick, the power you used. Can you explain this?”

Surprisingly, Dick seemed to hesitate about that for a moment, and then he spoke calmly.

“…It’s a power I’ve used countless times. Basically, the way to use the power called ‘steal’ is simple. It will make the stealing spell you use more powerful. That includes power. …It even includes ‘people’.”

It includes people.

“…?”

And when I looked like I didn’t understand, Dick explained further.

“The trigger is that he has feelings for you. Then, he develops feelings for you. And if he becomes aware of it even just once, he becomes uncontrollably obsessed with you and eats away at the target’s spirit. That’s the point. “It means I really have feelings for you, and I’m probably going to hit you hard.”

??

Therefore,

Does this mean that if you fall in love with me, you will become uncontrollably obsessed with me, regret it, and be devastated?

“No, what kind of bullshit power is this? How can regret, obsession, and devastation come together just by making eye contact?”

“Fuck you, you bastard. Why do you regret it in the first place? It’s just obsession and exhaustion. The performance is certain, but it’s hard to control.”

“What is it, crazy, where is this?”

“Did you tell me? That’s the golden sun optimization power. It has been replaced by your pure spirit, the golden sun.”

“What are you crazy, give me back my pure love.”

“Wow! Women of Elcadia, opening ceremony begins! Do you know what? This bastard was a fucking golden sun!”

“?”

Mr. Machina is saying something strange again.

Did Dick lose his mind after seeing him possessed by the Demon Sultan?

It’s said while looking at Dick, but strangely, Dick clears his throat and looks away, and at the same time, Machina is still staring at Dick.

A person I think I will never see again. It’s like looking at someone who looks like they’ll disappear at any moment.

I know.

How much pain Dick is in right now.

I could tell.

How many times did Dick scream and scream in that short period of time?

That’s why I didn’t ask.

That’s why I pretended not to know.

If he reveals that, he will definitely fall into even more shame.

There are many things I want to ask and many things I want to know, but it is too late at night.

I woke up in the middle of the night, and I need to go back to sleep so that tomorrow’s activities are not affected.

In other words…

It’s time to sleep again.

Machina and Dick seem to have a lot to talk about, so I don’t need to tell them to go to sleep.

These are people who don’t even sleep.

“I need to talk to Machina for a moment.”

“Oh, you don’t mind listening to me too, right? After all, I’m also a party, and I have something to say at the same time.”

“Either way or not. They say children in the new country go to bed early and wake up early. Grow up quickly, little one.”

Who says this is a child?

I felt like I wanted to criticize him in many ways, but I held on to it.

Now is not the time, nor should it be.

Because the atmosphere between Dick and Machina was unusual.

I leave those three alone, throw the fallen people back to their respective positions, and go into my tent.

Next to me were Elizabeth and her older sister, and Anna was also sleeping in a faint state.

“…I have a lot to ask, but please bear with me for now.”

“…That’s how it is. What’s going on all of a sudden in the middle of the night? Mira, is there anything you can say about this?”

“Just think of it as a natural disaster. No matter how powerful humans are, they can’t prevent natural disasters. They can only avoid them. The reason Clark endured it is because he was ‘special’. There’s nothing else I can say about it. I’m already in this state and saying, ‘Grandma. ‘I’m greatly influenced by ‘.’

“…Sister, are you okay?”

When I ask, my sister smiles and pats my head.

Like telling me not to worry.

“Don’t worry. The reason I was born in the first place was only for you. And nothing can change that.”

If so, that would be fortunate. Even the mighty Dick is being swayed by the Demon Sultan like that, so what will happen to his sister? Mortus said that the person most similar to the Demon Sultan was his older sister.

…

Is it really okay?

“Even more than that, Elizabeth, you are amazing. You can speak and act even under that pressure. Even Gawain can barely hold on… Hehe, as expected. Is the king’s woman different?”

“…You’re fine in the first place, so why do I have to lie down?”

“Ah, that kind of fighting spirit. I really like it. Hehe. So… Please take good care of me in the future, too, Clark.”

“…”

“Now, Clark, come here. I’ll give you a hug.”

And as if she sensed my anxious heart, my sister opened her arms and held me in her arms. Not to be outdone, so is Elizabeth.

“Hmph, don’t worry Clark. We… Have overcome any problem or obstacle, right? So we can do it this time too. Your godfather, Dick, will be fine too.”

“…I hope everyone does that. Now, I’m afraid to see someone collapse in front of me.”

My sister who holds me tightly in her arms. And Elizabeth, holding my hand tightly and covering me from behind.

Feeling the warmth of these two, I fall asleep once again.

Meanwhile, you can hear Dick and Machina talking.

And although I can clearly hear what it is saying, I try to ignore it and fall asleep.

How long do you have to pretend not to know, Dick?

As always, I hope you say it’s okay, like it’s nothing.

Did you say that once?

The child is the father’s lonely back. They say you become an adult when you recognize your helplessness.

…

I don’t really want that.
