Chapter 137 – Past (4)

Actually, I didn’t really understand what it meant to receive godhood.

We live in an age where receiving God’s protection is a common occurrence.

Didn’t my wife, Eris, receive the protection of the goddess of love?

… I don’t know exactly what kind of protection it is.

I was able to understand how big of a deal it was for my past self to receive godhood through Illyana’s subsequent explanation.

[… Humans who have the power to shake the world or who have achieved great achievements are qualified to receive divinity from God and become new gods.]

Humans become gods.

I tried to understand its meaning by thinking about it slowly several times, but I just couldn’t understand it.

… That incorrigible trash becomes a god?

Where can something so ridiculous happen?

Isn’t that stupid guy even unaware of the seriousness of the situation and just accepted godhood?

I felt dizzy, not sure if I should call this amazing or crazy.

Even as I tried to calm my confused mind, the records of the past continued to flow.

In the past, I did not reveal to the warrior that I had become a god.

Perhaps because he knew that he wouldn’t be of much help anyway, he hid his godhood, thinking of it as nothing more than insurance.

Up until this point, seeing him thinking about making a lot of money by defeating the demon lord with the hero and living with his wife, I wondered if he still had some conscience left.

… Until then.

“… Warrior, waist.”

“H-ah, okay…”

One day, my past self, who was still maintaining a close relationship with the warrior, found out one piece of information…

“… “The devil has a daughter?”

The demon woman, who was lying face down on the floor, bowed and said.

“Yes, yes… ! You are truly beautiful… ! Don’t kick the princess… Wow!”

The moment my past self showed interest in the demon princess, the hero swung his sword mercilessly.

“… Ugh, I haven’t found out all the information yet…”

“… “I don’t need it.”

The warrior lightly swung a sword the size of his body, and the blood of the demon woman stuck to the sword fell in patter.

As if my past self was regretful, I left the corpse of the demon woman behind and set out on the road again, and the hero was standing behind her and slowly chasing after her.

The warrior looks at him blankly with eyes that have lost focus.

… Sigh.

Her empty eyes made my body tremble without my knowledge.

The creepy eyes of the warrior from the past were similar to the eyes of the crazy bitch who looked down at me after cutting down her wife.

From that appearance, I could vaguely realize that the warriors of the past and the warriors of the present are not much different.

My past self, who didn’t notice the hero’s condition, was spinning my foolish head and coming up with a crazy plan.

The plan I made in the past was like this.

The goal is to subdue the demon lord, but progress is slow, and we don’t know when the journey will end.

Then wouldn’t it be easy to solve this problem by luring the devil’s daughter into rebellion?

Also, since the hero tends to be very squishy, ​​it might be a good idea to take the opportunity to change him.

… Crazy.

It was truly a crazy plan.

I protested to Ilaana as I saw my past self continuing to act so crazy that words could not express it.

… That crazy bastard is really me? Don’t play tricks, Illyana!!!

[… Human nature does not change.]

Illyana’s words had the nuance that it was the same for me.

As I was cursing in my mind at her words, Illyana quietly spoke to me.

[… Don’t you also have a history of cheating?]

… That’s not the wind, it’s inevitable…

[…]

I was left speechless by Illyana’s reaction, so I slowly turned my gaze to look at my past self.

In the past, while I was continuing my relationship with the warrior Hera, I was secretly plotting to lure away the demon princess.

And not long after…, I ‘accidentally’ met a demon princess.

It was almost a miracle of luck.

My past self, who took advantage of the hero’s fainting spell to escape the inn, used the teleportation scroll that I ‘accidentally’ obtained.

The goal is the territory of the demons.

He heard a rumor that the demons adjacent to the human realm were relatively friendly, so he went to get information about the princess.

And at the place we went that way…

“… Human?”

“… Huh?”

‘By chance’ I was able to meet a woman who was taking a walk alone.

… Huh?

The moment I saw her, I blinked several times, wondering if there was something wrong with my eyes.

Pure white hair that gives a mysterious feeling.

… Why is this bitch here again?

She was one of the criminals who killed my wife.

I tried to understand the situation in a panic, but the past records progressed helplessly.

The past me was much bolder than the current me.

“… White hair… “By any chance, princess?”

He spoke to her princess one by one, telling her stories that she would like.

“… Humans have that kind of culture… ?”

Luckily, I was able to capture the princess’s interest and easily build a relationship with her.

In order to break down his guard, my past self, who lured the devil with seasoned and provocative materials, suddenly said that time was up and tried to leave.

In fact, it was a one-sided communication in which no information about the demons was obtained.

“Buh, already?”

“… “I’m sorry, I might be suspicious because I’m a warrior’s companion.”

“Then, when again…” ?”

“… “See you again here in three days.”

After making a promise to meet again in three days, I was able to return to the warrior’s side using the scroll.

That was my goal in the past.

The princess, the daughter of the devil, grew up like a flower in a greenhouse, and perhaps because she grew up seeing only good things, she was dim about the world.

There was nothing she could enjoy that was more exciting than this.

Not too long, not too short, just 3 days.

It was a plan to build her trust and friendship by meeting her when she was about to lose interest.

… What is it? Why does it seem so?

At the same time, my past self carried out a plan to manipulate the warrior to his liking.

The act of mating between animals, which they had done every day under the pretext of the purpose of the trip, had stopped, and they were pushing and pulling using the warrior’s sexual desire.

The hero was embarrassed by the sudden change, but he obeyed, saying there was nothing he could do because he had a cause…

As a result. In the past, I showed off my ability to make a warrior, a demon princess, and the goddess of fate into my woman.

But…, In the past, I was an ordinary person who couldn’t even use magic.

His body was too weak to handle three women who transcended their boundaries.

A warrior’s obsession grows stronger every day.

“… Where have you been?”

“… Uh? “Say, take a walk?”

“… “Walking?”

A princess who wants confirmation in a fraught relationship.

“… I…, If I become the devil…”

“… By receiving the blessings of the demons and humans, they become a real couple. “Isn’t it cool?”

“Boo, couple…” .”

In the past, I suffered from attacks from both sides and eventually made a choice.

The choice to give up both women.

… This is absurd.

And…, Made a plan to become a god using the divine status he received.

There are really no crazy people.

At this point, she barely seemed to think of her wife, Eris.

… Eris.

In fact, I thought it would be more appropriate to say that I had forgotten.

In the past, I planned to become a god and lead a comfortable life. With the help of Hera, the goddess of fate, I planned a plan to become a god.

The gods also had their own system, and no matter how much one was deified, it was difficult to become a god right away.

In order to become a god, one must have tremendous power or achieve great achievements in history.

An achievement that will go down in history…

He makes a plan to eliminate the Demon King, who poses a threat to humanity.

I couldn’t kill him with my own hands.

That’s why I decided to use the warrior’s hand.

A warrior with unprecedented power was worthy of becoming a god, but he thought it would be okay since other gods could not touch him.

It was a dastardly plan to elevate the princess, who was a candidate for the next Demon King, to the position of Demon King, and then use her trust to stab her in the back.

As I looked at my past records, I slowly began to give up.

Since I committed such a serious crime, I began to think that it was appropriate to be punished.

Because I used love as a weapon to hit people in the back, I suffered more than 8,000 times.

I didn’t feel like watching anymore, so I asked Illana to stop recording, but…

[… Isn’t something strange?]

… What’s wrong…

[… If you really have become a god, why do you live such a miserable life?]

… Huh?

That’s right.

There was something strange.

Why did I live over 8,000 lives, and why did the Princess Lover suddenly appear and kill my wife?

They both had the same purpose, and even my wife, who they killed, was a person from the past.

… Huh?

A shiver ran down her spine from head to toe.

There was something complicated in my head, but I couldn’t grasp anything, as if I was waving my hand around in a fog.

At that time, Illyana’s sweet voice rang in her head.

[… If the three women still exist today…, The other one. Where is the Goddess of Fate?]

Goddess of fate.

… Hera.

At that moment, her head started hurting again.

I was delirious with a crushing headache.

Eris…, Warrior… Devil…

Unknown memories began to flow again.

Hera showing cuteness in my arms and Illyana watching her uncomfortably.

I free Hera, who was upset because she visited Ilaana.

It was a memory that unfolded in a place I had never seen before.

No matter how much pain I struggled with, it soon began to calm down, and at the same time, the records of the past that had stopped began to progress again.

Leaving behind the past unfolding before her eyes, she calmly recalled the memories that came to her mind.

I couldn’t understand why Illyana was in my memory.

She did receive help to achieve love with Eris, whom she had secretly had a crush on since childhood, but that was all she did.

In my memories, Illyana and I looked almost like lovers.

… Hey, Illyana?

I carefully called the goddess’s name in my mind, but she gave no answer.

… What is it…

Because it wasn’t organized, I couldn’t figure out what was what.

For now, I decided to stay quiet and focus on past records.

*

… What is this?

‘There will never be a makjang like this.’

This was an assessment made after looking at all the records.

In the past, I actually succeeded in raising the princess to the position of devil king.

Since she was originally not interested in her position as the Demon King, she was able to easily ascend to her position as the Demon King, and when she became the Demon King, she used her extraordinary intellect to quickly conquer the Demon King’s army.

While the new Demon King took control of the Demon King’s army, the hero and the past me were able to reach the Demon King’s castle by lightly swiping away the messy Demon King’s army.

Princess…, No, the Demon King began to battle the hero as I had planned in the past, and it ended with the hero’s victory in the nick of time.

After that, the warrior who became a hero of mankind and my past self received an oracle at the Black Tower, the temple of the Goddess of Fate.

I thought I would naturally become a god because the content flowed so easily, but I was wrong.

My past self shouted in a frenzy, holding on to the manifested Hera.

“… Hera!!! Oh, why on earth!!! Why don’t you make me a god!!!”

“..? But…, If I don’t do this, I think I’ll lose you…”

All of this was Hera’s strategy.

Hera predicted that my past self would not truly love me.

Nevertheless, Hera, who was in love with her, felt uneasy as she watched me bewitch women in the past, and she looked for a way to keep them by her side.

And he deliberately spilled the beans about Godhead.

In the past, I took the bait without knowing anything and let my happy imagination go wild.

Instead of giving Hera her godhood, she placed a condition on him loving her truly.

Of course, in the past, I did not truly love Hera, and the curse was triggered because I could not keep the terms of her contract.

That is Yunhwan’s curse.

When I die, my soul goes to Hera and can remain in the god world using her divine powers.

When all of your spiritual power runs out, you come back to life as a human, and when you die, you come back.

It was a leash itself tied to the soul.

As if that wasn’t enough, Hera spread her curse, and the curse also spread to Eris, the warrior, and the demon king whom I loved with all my heart.

It was a measure to make me die as quickly as possible.

…

Soon the record of the past ended, and we returned to Illyana’s realm.

My legs lost their strength and I fell down.

“…”

After I found out the truth, I had nothing to say.

Isn’t it too harsh to pay such a price for fooling God?

“… Well, then…, Dragon Love…, The appearance of the devil…”

“… Eris, because your wife took possession of you before you.”

As I listened to Illyana, I realized that there was something strange about what she said.

… No, something is strange.

“… The thing that helped me connect with Eris…, It’s you. Illyana.”

When I glanced up at her, Illyana avoided my gaze and did not respond.

I was a little shocked by her reaction, and only then did I realize the situation I was in.

… Yeah, something was strange.

The thing that suddenly appeared in my dream and helped me connect with Eris, the thing that suddenly came to me and said strange things after Eris died, and even the image in the memory that just came to mind.

There was nothing suspicious about anything.

“… “What are you?”

As I looked at her with her eyes filled with suspicion, Illyana began to walk away from me with her back.

In response to my reaction of avoiding an answer, anger began to well up deep within my heart.

“… “What on earth is this?”

The first day I met her, I suddenly remembered the introduction she gave me.

[I am Illyana, the goddess of love and the goddess of luck. I have come to help you.]

Could it be that he is Hera’s colleague sent to interfere with me?

The sadness of losing her wife, the futility of her life, and the anger at Illyana for not telling her the truth.

All of that was mixed up and headed towards Ilaana.

“… What is it?!!! I…, I am the hero and the devil…, I wish I had given you my body…, Eris, my wife could have not died…, Why didn’t you tell me the truth!! Why!!”

How much did he hold her and interrogate her?

After hesitating for a while, Illyana carefully spoke out.

“… I am the goddess of love…, Lady Luck…”

She slowly met her gaze and spoke softly.

“… And with the same curse as you…, The one you once loved…, Your woman.”
