Chapter 289 – Chapter 222- Those Who Want to Escape the Treadmill, Taste a New Hell

‘You really look like me.’

While teaching Aion, Lilia gave such an evaluation.

‘Because I, like you, once resisted.’

Lilia fought and defeated her own sister, Demon Lord Eris.
The price of defeat was humiliation.
With her determination to raise her as her own successor, Eris thoroughly humiliated her Lilia.
He arbitrarily remodeled Lilia’s body,
She arbitrarily implanted all her unwanted knowledge into her head.
It was useless even if I resisted saying I didn’t want to do it and that I wouldn’t live according to your will.

‘I paid a very severe price for resisting like that.’

To break her brother’s will.
To completely enslave.
Eris bullied Lillia even more persistently.
It wasn’t enough to uproot her brother’s beliefs and turn them into powder.
She trampled it down so thoroughly that it would never grow again.

‘I finally found out. No matter what I do, I can’t escape her sister.’

After suffering like that, Lilia collapsed.

‘No matter how much I endure, it’s impossible to save the human world.’

Her own dreams, beliefs, and meaning of existence were all shattered.

‘So I decided to accept it.’

There is only one thing left for Lillia, who has all disappeared.

‘To be her sister’s little brother. To be her sister and make her sister’s dream come true.’

Becomes the faithful younger brother of Demon King Eris.
Being her sister’s servant, she gives this world.
That was the only path her Lilia could choose.
The only room where everyone can be happy together.
Submitting to the demons and becoming friendly slaves is the final road to peace.
It doesn’t matter if they are raised as livestock.
It’s enough if you take good care of it without killing it.

‘And I will make a paradise my way. A paradise where everyone is happy.’

And he makes his own paradise.
A paradise where everyone can live in peace.
A paradise where you can be happy even if you become livestock.
Lilia believed she could really complete it.

She truly believes that Lilia has gone mad.

‘So, Aion. Just accept it.’

Lilia persuaded Aion.

‘Accept you like me. Accept and make your dreams come true. I can achieve it if I give up.’

She persuaded her not to do anything stupid and go under her sister.

‘… I don’t know what happened to you.’

Looking at Lilia, Aion replied.

‘But I do know that this is wrong.’
‘…’
‘Is it better to give in? Better to be a slave? Is it best to be raised as livestock?’

When she was human she answered what she would have been if she had been Lilia.

‘Can I find happiness with something like that?’

Why should we give in
Why should we be slaves?
Why should we be cattle?
Why is it said that this is the only path leading to peace?
This is clearly wrong.

‘Why is living as their slaves happiness?’

It’s strange to say that something wrong is right.
It’s strange to be pushed to admit it.
Why should we, who are not beasts, have to accept such a fate?

‘Would you call it happiness even if our lives went back and forth as they wished?’

If it’s wrong to accept it.
If you kill them ruthlessly because you don’t need them.
Can I say I’m happy even then?
Where is the guarantee that they will not betray you?

‘I will not surrender.’

So I won’t follow you.
I will never live as a slave to them.

‘Just kill him. I’ll never live your life I won’t become a slave the way you want.’

Aion demanded that he be killed.
It is better to die than to live as a slave.
Aion tried to defend his honor with his death.

This part is also very similar to Lilia.

‘No, I don’t kill.’

She was so much like him that Lillia could tell for sure.

‘You’re my brother, can I kill you? If I had killed him, I would have killed him right there.’

Aion does not give in easily.
Like his mother and himself, he had to work hard for a long time before he could succumb.

‘I’ll make it.’

Unfortunately, I can’t afford to spend that much time.
The subjugation operation is now running towards the end, but I can’t just sit around in the Saint.
Lillia intended to end it quickly.

‘I’ll make you a slave who craves love like me.’

Lilia had already thought of a method.

‘So, brother.’

Lillia caressed Aion’s chin.

‘Can you accept my gift?’

So Lilia was next to her egg where Aion was trapped.

“Huuuuu!”

Sitting in her chair with a mass of tentacles covering her head.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”

The tentacle mass and the egg are connected by thick tentacle threads.
The tentacles wriggled incessantly, passing something in Lilia’s head into her egg.

“Hauuuuu!”

Madness.
Lilia is injecting her own madness into her sister.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”

And now the end is coming.

●●●

“Hey, stop it…”

How many times will this be?
How many times have you fought this guy?
How many times did she hit her sister’s neck?
How many times, how many times, how many times have I been repeating this?

“This is enough.”

I don’t want to do it anymore.
I don’t want to be stuck in this space forever.
I don’t want to repeat this meaningless thing again.

“Please stop. I don’t want to fight anymore.”

While on her knees, Aion begged the demon in front of her.
Her green eyes, which were filled with hostility towards the demons, were filled with despair.
If anyone who knew Aion had seen this scene, they would have been in great shock.

“Why?”

In response to Aion’s complaint, the demon, Lilia, asked a question.
Red hair down to his waist.
Green pupil.
The appearance and body are all the same as Aion.
She inherited the same blood, so it is natural that she is the same.
So that,

The look of despair is also very similar.

“Why do you want to give up? You say you don’t want to give in to me?”
“That, that…”
“If you don’t want to give in, you have to hold on. You have to hold on and hold on to your will, don’t you?”
“…”
“This is a world where you win anyway, so why do you want to go out?”

The back alley of St.
This is the place where Lilia and Aion collided.
Aion won after a fierce battle.
Succeeded in killing all of Lillia’s party.

It was such a space.
A space where the ending is unconditionally determined.
Lilia, who infiltrated Aion’s heart, created this space.
A space that repeats forever.
A space where Aion can win forever.
The reason for making it is simple.

“Tell me honestly, Aion. Why do you want to quit?”

To drive Aion.
At the end of the drive to the cliff, in order to fall off the cliff.
And,

To buy her time to accept her own.
So Lilia created this space.

“… Because I know.”

Aion opened his mouth.

“Because I know what happened here.”

Aion’s voice was filled with fear.

“I understand, but what is the reason to play in this play?”

I didn’t know at first.
Defeated the evil demon tribe and beheaded the traitorous warrior.
She accepted it as true and liked it.
Aion expected that he had finally opened the way to save people.

Repeat this over and over again.
From the point of being chased to the point of cutting Lilia’s throat.
If you succeed in decapitating her, you will be taken back to the point where you were chased.
When she decapitates her again, she goes back to the point where she was chased without time to rejoice.
Even if something feels strange, it is meaningless.
When she goes back, she will forget everything she went through.

Repeatedly, Aion felt uncomfortable.

‘The way I’ve already been here… No?’

Why is he running here himself?
Why is he running again on the road he has already passed?
Why is he always running the same way?

‘Isn’t this guy already dead? Why is he standing there?’

Why did she have Lilia standing in front of her?
Why is Lilia alive after her head fell off?
Why is it that the people she killed are still alive?
Why, why, why, why, why…

Why had she forgotten that she had been defeated by these guys?

No matter how much you erase it, traces remain.
Aion, who had been constantly spinning the treadmill, finally realized.
What end did he end up with?
What happened after that.
And what is he doing now?

‘I have to get out. I can’t stay here!’

Have to pierce
You have to drill a hole to return to reality.
I can’t play in this nonsense play anymore.
Aion tried to get out of this space.

But it was pointless.

‘Uh, why…’

I deliberately chose the option to hit the attack.
He deliberately got hit by the arrows they shot.
I deliberately got hit by the swords they wielded.
I got stabbed by them on purpose,
I deliberately got my head blown off by them.

Even after choosing the worst option, Aion couldn’t get out.

‘Why can’t I go out?’

Even if you put a sword in your chest,
He could not get out even if he committed suicide by cutting his own throat.

‘Why not…’

It was the same even if he chose the option to escape by another route.
No matter how far you go, you end up in the same place.
Fight the same fight in the same place, meet the same ending.

No matter what you do, it doesn’t change.
No matter what you do, it doesn’t change.
No matter what you do, it won’t break through.
No matter what you do, no matter what you try, no matter how hard you try,

Aion couldn’t get out of this space.

‘How the hell am I supposed to get out!’

It just keeps repeating itself.
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.
It just repeats itself endlessly.
Even if you kill endlessly, even if you die endlessly,

Eventually come back

‘I don’t want to be here any longer! I don’t want to stay anymore!’

If this is repeated, even the paladins of the world, united by faith in the goddess, will inevitably collapse.
Aion’s strong will collapsed like a crumbling tower, unable to overcome the storms of time.

It collapsed completely enough to appeal to the demons she hated so much.

“Now that I know it, stop it. Let’s stop now! How long do I have to do this to keep my stomach cool?”

It might have been luck for Aion to realize at the last minute that Lilia in this space was real, not an illusion.
If I hadn’t known, I wouldn’t have been able to cling on like this and would have gone mad.

No, is it really luck?

“Finally, you can make that expression.”

Lilia was genuinely delighted.

“I honestly thought it wouldn’t work…” She said. .”

She finally got this far.
There was a chance it wouldn’t work, but she finally did.
Lilia succeeds in bringing down her headstrong brother.

Now all you have to do is swallow it.

“What is it?”

Suddenly a shadow appeared on the floor.
A large shadow made of ghastly blood.
Something came out of the shadows.

It was a man
A shadow in the form of a person.
The form was female.
Her entire body is the color of blood, but her appearance closely resembles Lilia’s.

The shadow that looked exactly like Lilia hugged Aion.

[Let’s go.]

“What?”

Aion was startled by the shadow’s voice.

[Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go…]

I was afraid beyond surprise.
Terrified, her body started to tremble.

[Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go…]

This voice is Lilia.

[Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go…]

The despair that I came to know after being subjected to endless insults.
The madness that bloomed from that despair.

[Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go…]

Aion couldn’t breathe properly at the eerie voice coming from the madness.

“This, this is, what the heck…”

What the heck does this mean?
What kind of trick did this scary guy appear?
To Aion’s question, Lilia answered kindly.

“My madness.”
“And, madness?”
“The madness that drove me crazy. I will inject that madness into you.”
“You’re injecting me?”
“Yes, because there is no drug that works well other than this to make someone like me fall.”

This was the purpose.
Wait for enough madness to accumulate in Aion’s mind.
It continues to be confined in this space until the madness grows enough to swallow the collapsed Aion.
The madness that grew so much became a shadow.
It became a bloody form resembling Lillia and grabbed Aion.

He made an eerie noise and tried to drag Aion into the shadows on the floor.

“Don’t be too scared, Aion. Because the pain is only for a moment.”

Seeing Aion dragged away, Lilia smiled.

“After a good night’s sleep, you will be reborn as my cute little sister.”

She couldn’t tell if the smile was meant to reassure or to ridicule.

“Let’s get along well and work for Eris-sister.”
“… Do not be ridiculous.”
“Huh?”
“I mean, don’t be funny!”

Aion let out a roar.

“I didn’t recognize the Demon King as her sister. You didn’t even admit it!”

I was shocked to learn the secret of her birth.
But even so, Aion had no intention of recognizing her Lillia as her older sister.

How could she admit that someone who did such crazy things was her sister?
Even if I die, I won’t admit it.

But Aion, she will admit.

“Don’t say things like that… Whoa!”

Because it’s too late to deny it.

“Uuuuu!”
‘Hate, hate, hate!’

Aion was dragged into the shadows like that.
