Chapter 193 – 192. Tightening Poison (6)
-Duke Pantalone’s official residence-
Elizabeth, she frowns.
And Mira, Ilias, and even Mortus.
And looks at her own father. Naturally, her own father is now demanding answers from her.
“Tell me. Clark, Marcus, what on earth did that old man raise?”
“Aren’t you talking too much about your father in front of that child?”
“Miss Dawn Bringer, if Marcus had been the other way around, he would have done the same. He wouldn’t have said good things about me.”
Well, that’s true too, Mira quickly admitted.
It’s not someone else’s problem, it’s his own daughter’s problem. Liz, her troubles, and of course the one who has everyone involved with Clark on their leash, including her.
Talking about this would risk her father’s life, and Elizabeth was now putting a lot of thought into deciding what to say and what not to say, and she was finally done.
“First of all, Scherwitz will be turned upside down.”
“I guess that’s true. He’s Marcus’s kid to begin with, and the girl here seems to be very angry. I don’t know if she knows it, but Schervitz and Clark are going to go to great lengths to placate him. Well, I’ll admit that my son is superior, but in the end, Liz, aren’t you stronger than Hector? ?”
It should be so.
Hector’s skills were completed, and Elizabeth had just been ordained a knight.
The sparring between those two.
Surprisingly, Hector missed the spear and the game was decided.
Hector is breathing heavily, while Elizabeth is not breathing any harshly.
That was when she was 18 years old.
“Your pride must have been hurt a lot. Plus, your influence within Frisia is the weakest.”
“Huh? Are you a bastard?”
Elizabeth asks with wide eyes, as if she never thought her father would say such a thing, but instead, Eleuard looks at Elizabeth and makes a sour expression.
“…Liz, we will talk about this someday, but it seems like your son-in-law had a lot of influence in that direction, and these are the exact words written in the letter you wrote. But, it was perfect for making that guy look like Priam.”
…I can’t believe I read all of that.
And Elizabeth, who wrote the letters as they were without any additions or omissions, cleared her throat and spoke to her father.
“…And, all the impure elements currently in Frisia will be eliminated.”
“Clarke has never talked to you about this, and you want him to do that?”
Mira talks to Elizabeth in a sharp voice, but Elizabeth also shoots back at Mira as if she is saying something.
In the first place, she didn’t tell Clark because she didn’t want him to get caught up in this dirty Frisian politics…
Clark noticed it all and jumped into the poop directly.
“Don’t get me wrong, I never asked for it. Also, I was trying to avoid a fight in my own way, and I didn’t want Clark to know about this shit. I didn’t want this shit to get splashed on him. I! You! “As much as I love Clark, I didn’t want him to squeeze out all this dirty pus. I just want to grab a knife and kill them all!”
Elizabeth remembers Clark, who waited with her for her father since the cold dawn. She asked me not to ask, she said, and she asked me not to care. This time, she asked her to follow her own stubbornness, but Clark somehow knew who the bastards were, decided in advance who would cooperate and who would punish them, and immediately got into a fight.
Frankly, that idiot Paris was still manipulating him, and Clark used that as an excuse to contact Hector, the only normal person in Scherwitz, and show off his abilities.
From what I heard, they were planning to restore all of the resistance’s armor and even enchant it, but the priests of the gods who play around in Phrygia interfered with that plan.
At least Clark does not spare respect for those who fought and died, those who fought with all their might and died. He was a proud man who thought about the suffering they would endure and expressed reverence for them. Naturally, what he hated most were those who sabotaged and interfered with them without even fighting.
“…I never wanted Clark to get caught up in this shitty Frisian politics.”
What on earth has happened over the past seven years?
Before he could do anything, something happened, and even when Clark saw that he had jumped in to take care of it, a huge being was holding his father’s life as collateral so that he could not intervene.
Mira also gave up her father’s life, so she couldn’t help Clark.
That’s because she too was very sad about her father’s death.
He just couldn’t cry because Clark was crying.
Because she had to come to her senses and comfort her lover.
“…Trust Liz, your son-in-law, and Clark.”
“Father.”
“…You have had a very strong sense of responsibility since long ago. At times, you really thought that other knights were doing just as well as you, and that it would not be possible without you. And… Your son-in-law must have judged that it would be difficult with just your strength. And obviously that’s what happened. And now he’s drawing all the aggro to himself, right?”
No, those are all words from the letter, Dad.
Those words rose up to my throat, but-
“…There must have been circumstances that you couldn’t even tell me about. Liz, and the fact that you are fighting another difficult battle besides the Demon King. You are also trying to follow the path your son-in-law is taking. And yet, you still think of us as precious. “That too.”
“…Father.”
“You have to trust him now. If you don’t trust him, if the people here don’t trust you, then who will trust Clark, who is struggling in enemy territory?”
It’s as they say.
Clark said he was carrying the gun, and he was trying to help them by seeing disgusting things. And judging from the fact that he jumped into such dangerous situations without hesitation, he was worthy of becoming a warrior. He had a vague guess.
Marcus, that he is married and has children.
The non-human beings around him.
Even Mira Dawn Bringer is openly proving that she is not human.
If so, there is a high probability that Clark will do the same.
“Is the son-in-law a being born from a union with a non-human being?”
“Yes, so?”
“The road will be difficult. And, my daughter will follow in the footsteps of such a person. And, bad things will threaten my son-in-law and try to manipulate him.”
Know.
How humans will accept non-human beings and beings with strengths different from humans, and even priests who are followers of the gods will try to place restrictions on his every move. What is certain is that Eleuard was already fed up with the priests’ behavior, and what they said when his daughter returned in a dead state was shocking.
-I express my condolences on your daughter’s death, and when will the funeral be held… Ugh!!
-My daughter is not dead yet.
-…Even if you say your Excellency, it is not easy to find someone who can revive this fatal wound. It would be better to take refuge in God’s side –
Sreung-!
As he pulled out his sword and seemed ready to cut off his head, he only closed his mouth…
Taking refuge with God?
What does that mean?
“…Did you say you are Ilias?”
“Yes, that’s right, Eleuard.”
And right next to it is a being that appears to be an angel in the shape of a small young girl. No, to be clear, it feels a little different to call it an angel.
Clark seems to have no fault for her, but Eleuard can tell from her years of experience.
This woman is a noblewoman. And that she is a helper to her own son-in-law and her daughter at the same time.
I ask this angel, this being with a huge halo floating above his head without hiding his wings, about that.
“Once, when her daughter returned to the hospital in a state of death, priests from the Church of Jupiter persistently came to her. They told her to return her daughter to the Order.”
“It’s a good thing you’re alive. If you had been, Clark would never have left you alive.”
“…What do you mean.”
“I’m sure they would have recommended it in the name of treating the wounds suffered by the Demon Lord. You would have refused, right? Of course.”
“That’s right.”
She couldn’t let her daughter, who had a chance of living without going crazy, die. It was a promise made in his own name, written in a blood-soaked note in a dire situation. Clark kept that promise, and her daughter is now alive and on her own.
If she had converted to the church at that time –
“…The gods would have become slaves.”
“Aren’t you an angel?”
“Hehe..”
An angel.
Saying that, Ilias chuckles and laughs.
It’s not like he’s in a position to argue about that now. Even though he no longer has anyone to worship, he does not lose his power, and it is as if he has become the planet itself. No, he had a greater power sustaining him, and he was no longer in such an imperfect state.
Now that she had shattered her concept of herself as [Her creation goddess] Solely for the sake of her Clark, her Clark was the only one she had.
This planet is a place prepared for Clark’s awakening.
That’s why Eleuard tilted her head, perhaps feeling strange that she was speaking quite hostilely towards the gods, but there was no need to correct her misunderstanding.
There is a truth that you don’t need to know.
If you know, you can’t escape.
“What is certain is that I am not their subordinate, and there is something I have to settle with them. And, Clark really struggled to keep his word, and is a being who is willing to kill his own emotions for the sake of his goal. .And, although I am related to them, I am their [Enemy].”
“…That said, you’d better be careful outside. Priests are too rigid…”
“It’s not just knowledge, their souls have already been pledged to the gods and they can’t disobey them.”
“…”
“They are pitiful people. That is exactly what they say, as a result of not being able to stand on their own and entrusting their life goals to [God]. So do not rely on God, train your own will, and struggle in pain. “I hope you find your life while playing.”
Mira and her daughter Liz widen their eyes in surprise at her words, as if they had not expected her to say that. And then I looked at them both casually and thought, what’s wrong? The way you look at it while doing it.
What is certain is that her daughter does not know what she is hiding from herself.
It’s just that my daughter once again entered into a very big fight, a battlefield so big that it couldn’t be compared to the Demon King.
“Someday, you’ll get that answer, Liz.”
“Yes, I will tell you clearly after this incident is over.”
…
You really asked a big question, daughter.
And if this big man is with Liz, it’s okay if Liz is no longer Pantalone. Light is swallowed up by a bigger light. And Clark is that light.
Now, it doesn’t have to be Pantalone.
And-
“After this is over, I’ll have to seriously think about retirement. Or, it might be better to just give up my title.”
“Huh? Then, this Phrygia is-“
“…Hehe, how long will it last? In this situation where even the gods don’t answer and just watch, Liz, how long do you think it will last? In a situation where you can’t stand on your own and only cry out to God, and that god doesn’t even answer, “How long will it take for humans to stand on their own feet?”
Eleuard’s anger, and the object that God himself tries to kill by [Stealing].
“Clarke, you’re fighting the gods, aren’t you?”
“…That-“
“…I don’t have to say it. And you can tell just by looking at those damn priests that they only make you greedy for your son-in-law. In the first place, they were trying to denigrate the achievements of the warriors, and some of them tried to mess with you while you were sleeping, and I even took care of them myself. Peel.”
It is none other than the Duke’s anger.
One of the three dukes of a country that lives well even if it borrows the name of God, what if it gets discouraged by the damn priests who try to denigrate the feats of its warriors?
It’s blasphemy.
“Fuck you, you bastards. When the country is in danger and the world is in danger, I would rather end up being a blasphemer than calling someone who got hurt fighting for the world a blasphemer when he didn’t even come forward.”
And as soon as those words left-
“The blasphemer, Eleuod Pantalone, and the heretic Pantalone, come out here and receive divine punishment!!”
…
Eleuard couldn’t believe his ears when he saw the priests and priests he had brought from Teiba and here from the rear to take care of the wounded outside, calling Duke Pantalone a blasphemer.
What are these bastards saying now?
The same goes for Elizabeth.
And Ilias shook her head.
It’s blasphemy.
…
That divinity, the things that were taken from me are crossing the line too much.
Plus – the thick scent of poison that can be felt nearby.
…
Are you really planning to kill those who believe in you?
It’s not just here.
Sir Carlos, the thick scent of poisonous smoke was spreading throughout this place.
Mira, and Liz, and Ilias.
These three think the time has finally come to draw their swords.
They are dividing themselves like this.
It’s not my business what I want to see, but this act of driving people who had nothing to do with it and were just hoping for God’s salvation to die was so disgusting that I couldn’t bear it.
Were you that afraid?
They are already doing everything they can to completely suppress this situation by holding it as a Maginot Line.
And-
Finally, loud noises began to be heard from Clark’s direction.
“First of all, let me be blunt: Fuck you, old man.”
Would you like to become my son-in-law while giving me two daughters? I’m doing this shit, but to be honest, it’s true that I don’t really want to get involved, so of course I’m giving this one last chance.
“I don’t know what else you want to go through in this fucking ruined country… In the meantime, you can’t come to your senses and clean up the poop in front of your eyes, so what are you thinking by dragging someone else’s son-in-law into the house? Seriously. You. Did you turn?”
“How dare you stand in front of a country’s duke-“
Of course, if you curse at someone like this, they will feel bad no matter how much they did wrong. As a result, Hector is now holding his eyebrows, and naturally, I decided that this guy was wrong when he said that he was the duke of a country.
Surely, when the country was in good condition, they would have settled down and were doing well, but why did you think you could do anything?
I don’t like how people are trying to steal the fact that it can be such a powerful card, so it’s right for me to cut this out.
“That damn country is already going crazy in the U.S., But they’re still saying shit. If that’s the case, they shouldn’t have even revealed things like marriage and political ambitions from the beginning.”
I don’t know where America is.
But your father went to America! It is certain that, as the little boy who was playing the game said, he is going to a bad place.
Machina-sensei’s mechanical soldiers, who seem to be in Camelot, are already in the center of the country, and they’ve retreated all the way here because they’ve been pushed back, and it’s so fucking bad that I can’t even stand it.
“…First of all, I also express regret about this. This friend seems to have been a bit harsh in his words, but all I can say is that I am also very sorry about this incident.”
Arash also shook his head.
The country is in disarray, and looking at the way they are still fighting among themselves, it seems like humans are truly trash. Nevertheless, I am trying to save Liz’s country, and I strongly protested against the bullshit that he was sending his daughters to me for this fucking mutual fight.
Even Arash is in the process of doing this.
It’s only a short time, but it’s true that this person is so impatient that he openly says this is not the case. Because it’s hard, your dirty greed is creeping up.
“Arash, think about it, what makes me worse than him!”
“It’s all, unfortunately.”
And, Arash also cuts like a knife.
“You-!!”
“…Why on earth did you become so ugly? Back then, you would not have lost your pride or self-respect while competing with His Excellency the Duke of Pantalone. What is your purpose in talking about that in the current situation? It is not limited to just one country. , You were too hasty to look to the future.”
“It’s as you said, father.”
Hector stands up. He looks at his father and his sisters with a stern expression, then at his wife, and then at his mother.
And-
He knelt down and spoke in front of me.
“…Please pretend it never happened. Geumtaeyang.”
“Hector!!”
“Ilione, Polixene, you too, go in. There is no reason for you to come into this muddy water.”
I’m sure this would have started off with him saying he was sorry for putting me through such a shitty situation.
Tsk.
Well, that’s good.
So now, we’ll have to deal with the tin cans that are preparing to come in from outside.
Clink!!!
A black object is flying towards us. A flying object in the shape of a disk and armed with a blade.
And then it lunged at me and-
It was radiating tremendous heat and rushing towards it, as if it was about to self-destruct due to static electricity.
There’s only one thing I can do.
High energy, heat source –
Then, it is suppressed with a more powerful heat source and melted.
Kwaaaaa!!!
A small explosion.
However, the powerful explosion that was supposed to have occurred did not occur, and at the same time, numerous flying objects began to break through the window and come in.
“…Oh, fuck. This isn’t right.”
Obviously, there is only one person who would do something like this.
Machina, that woman.
“Now, let’s start the game.”
In the basement of Camelot, a black-haired woman is operating what appears to be a VR device with a controller.
She is now in this place, a drone she developed herself.
[Lemming] Was sent to Geumtaeyang.
These drones, which boast a total quantity of more than 10 million, were produced by her in just one month.
Of course, if it were him, he would handle it very simply.
Geumtaeyang’s combat ability is improving exponentially. Perhaps, the more the world begins to oppress him, the more the power latent within him will break down those limitations.
At that time, she will become so powerful that even she will not be able to suppress her.
In that case, I will kill you here.
I will definitely kill him, Kim Hae-jin, and take that idiot with him.
…
I won’t let you go anymore.
You should only look out for me. So, now it’s time to get out of this fucking place. It’s okay if you can’t leave her. It’s okay if you say you will watch until the end.
Because I can just destroy it all and take it away.
Just as expected-
More than 10 million drones begin to go down. As if to mess with the simple and easy-to-produce artificial intelligence and evasive maneuver capabilities that allow self-destruction, blades, and striking at sight, the drones gathered together in one place and began to crush each other, bringing down all of them.
Oh, so this is magic?
Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.
-Master, annihilate the lemming army, give the following instructions.
The operator AI speaks to you.
I think something like this happened in the past.
My memory is vague.
Immortality is too harsh for those who live long. The years of running with only one person in mind, you have lived too long, and now it is time for you to reclaim what is yours.
I waited too long.
So, now I will get mine back.
“Going straight to the next step. Activate the [Juggernaut]. I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but if it’s the Golden Sun, it’s going to be quite a struggle.”
-All right.
Mercurius, he came to visit.
As I had been preparing for a while, it must have been a good time, when [It] Came.
As expected, they are the kind of bastards who look around everywhere and are voyeurs, so they knew what they were preparing and came all the way here.
A being called Hermes on Earth.
I came here to find out how it existed.
-We will fuck up the golden sun, so we want you to kill the golden sun. I will poison the golden sun with [Hydra] Poison.
-How?
-It removes the poison of Hydra where the golden sun resides.
-…
Crazy bastards.
He doesn’t particularly care about the damage to civilians like Kim Hae-jin, but he spreads his poison where his followers are mixed.
…Is slowly dying, and when Geum Taeyang faces death because of him, he finds Kim Hae-jin and retrieves it.
We’ve already captured that idiot’s location.
And then…
“…Now, it’s time for you to take a break.”
Free him from this pain. That was the only thing on her mind from beginning to end.
Well, one thing before that.
-Why are you acting so rude, like an old maid? And it seems like you think you’re morally better than anything, but you’re just like us. The heartlessness of driving one’s own students to death for one’s own ends, alas! What a heartless and cruel teacher and mother! The determination to abandon one’s own children and follow the one one loves! You really deserve to be respected! You, come to Vulcan’s place this time. If you’re a smart person, you can join us… Ugh!?
If I had prepared a little earlier, I could have kicked that brat.
I don’t know anything else, but if that bastard meets Geumtaeyang, he will be killed right away.
Will a bowl that is leaking on the inside not leak on the outside?
I’m going to die from all this pointless talk.
Of course, that isn’t wrong.
I was just more upset because it wasn’t wrong.
Know.
That she is a bitch.
However…
What is that?
We all live our lives making shit out of people for different reasons, and now we have to look at the good and bad of that to see what we can do with it.
He is already Caesar, who has crossed the Rubicon River, and a ghost who has overturned the Hwatu card.
He can no longer go back.
“If you really trust that idiot, why don’t you try killing me too?”
In the end, all of those disciples are backward compatible.
Believing it will be the same this time, she takes control again.
With a roaring sound, [Juggernaut], Which was created to target the Golden Sun, begins firing weapons at him.
…Really, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted, even though you heard the voices of people who had nothing to do with you, believers, follow you and want you to follow and not come forward?
For the sake of the greater good and the peace of the universe, is it fair for us to see this and do nothing?
They just wanted their own safety.
We were able to become gods by receiving their hearts, so why are we watching this?
-Please help me, I don’t want to die…
-Ah, my God-
-Do not step forward.
-If you come forward, I will kill you first.
…Why.
They just wanted salvation.
-You have very deep feelings for your pets. However, if you get a pet again, that’s it. So close your heart.
It was painful.
He who was born as a god and fought as a god was a troublemaker. He has only waged barbaric wars, but here he calls himself a savior for the first time, and he looks to the humans who follow him.
Plus…
The priests of Mercurius are spreading poison everywhere.
It was spraying the poison of none other than the ancient demonic beast, the [Hydra] Killed by [Alkeides] In the past.
Even though the priests who were spraying the poison were dying praising the name of Mercurius –
-Tsk tsk tsk tsk, idiots. You guys are having fun.
Is this really true?
On earth, is a god who does not seek out himself worthy of existing as a god?
I am a God.
Even though I am God, why do I have to watch the suffering of those who follow me and believe in me?
Geumtaeyang’s eyes are staring at the sky.
Is it really right to sacrifice this entire country to kill that little monster?
This-
It’s really wrong.
-Humans must be independent from God.
-We should have disappeared long ago.
-[Mars] Remember. We can disappear one day, and yet move forward beyond ourselves.
-Look at the works of humans who have surpassed me.
-Father sent out my believers and [Humans] Who surpassed me to kill the Demon King and made them die.
-…If something like this must exist as a god, and if as a god he cannot bless humans or [Disciples] Who have surpassed him, then why on earth should we be called gods?!
Vulcan’s scream rang out.
The scream that is uttered to one who has come to punish it.
And as soon as he did that, Mercurius cut off his head.
However, the severed head continued to speak.
-I support the independence of humans. And – humans… Those who exist in this world must surpass us…
-…Wow, that’s a lot of dirty talk. Just die.
And-
– By any chance, you weren’t thinking about something else, Mars… Wow!
-Get that face away, Mercurius. Where are you sticking your face in?
-Haha, that’s too much, bro.
Towards the guy who showed a friendly smile –
I couldn’t hide my disgust.
Surely we weren’t born for this.
Help!!!!
Help me-!!!
Ah, my God-!!!
The screams and painful scenes of believers that can be heard even if you cover your ears and can be seen even if you close your eyes, and those who are poisoned and dying –
Even after seeing them, the father just says that he will kill them if they move.
Only my father-
Jupiter is-
I was hoping for just one person to die.
However, as if it would not die easily, the golden sun looks up at the sky with its golden eyes shining brightly.
Then, he raises his huge hammer towards the huge mechanical weapon in front of him and slams it down.
And then, the mechanical weapon exploded even bigger and blew the golden sun far away. But still, the fighting spirit in those eyes, the magic shining in his hands, and the sight of blood spewing out from the corner of his mouth.
The hydra’s poison was eating away at his body.
