Chapter 513 – Noble Reign (4)

Crown of sin. A noble reign that uses the power of several evil spirits. And the attitude is not to kill me, but to despair me.

When it all came together in my head, I came to one conclusion.

-That monster…

The noble ruler never saw this side as an enemy in the first place. To him, we are nothing but well-chosen sacrifices.

No, it’s not just us. Rahim, who went crazy, and the other evil spirits he defeated. They will all be considered as sacrifices chosen from one world.

Then, the final goal of noble reign is probably…

-The completion of sin. Are you after all targeting a place called Sanggye?

“Hmm? Ah, I see. I experienced Rahim’s experience in this distorted space and time. Right. “I also obtained the coordinates that I thought would be the most difficult through Rahim, so all that’s left is to complete the Crown of Sin.”

-Rahim… ?

“Think about it. Isn’t the existence of a hero quite mysterious? God is a kind of champion. The final winner who survived after numerous transcendents competed with each other for their strength and beliefs. Even if there were no invaders like me, all the gods would have waged a war at some point, risking their own existence. But a person who has lived for only a few decades can defeat such a person. “It’s ridiculous.”

-I don’t think it would have been possible on my own.

“The fact that we can gather the power of everyone else is ridiculous. Until now, no one in the hero party has been free from inferiority complex, but that does not mean that their bonds and bonds are all lies. I guess he came to me because he truly believed in and cared for his colleagues. … But that’s all a lie. “It is an induced relationship, not something you choose of your own will.”

-What… ?

As I looked embarrassed, Gohan Gorim spoke with a sneer on his face.

“No matter how great a warrior’s personality and abilities are, and no matter how dangerous the world is, humans do not join hands with others so easily. Especially if you are a strong person with strong self-esteem. “To the point where I self-destruct without even having to do anything myself.”

In order to protect their little power, kings and nobles are willing to squeeze the people and sometimes even sacrifice them to evil spirits.

Knights lost their honor and became intoxicated with power, and wizards went into hiding even in times of crisis in the world or turned to evil spirits for greater knowledge.

Even in such times, there are heroes, but most of them are corrupted or do not receive support from those around them, so they are isolated and hunted.

Fortunately, the priests did not lose their spirit until the end, but if even one of their gods was overthrown, their faith wavered and they fell like dominoes.

“Humanity without symbols is so foolish and weak. “It was hard to kill everyone, but it was so easy to drown everyone in the mud.”

But when a hero appears, the story changes.

The world gains hope by seeing the achievements of warriors, and begins to unite under the banner of hope.

Each kingdom forgot their past resentments and joined forces. Instead of abandoning the people, they somehow embraced them and carried them into the future.

Knights devoted their swords to the cause, and even selfish wizards shared their vision and sought development.

The previously reigning gods let go of their instinctive wariness toward the battle for faith and generously give their power to the warriors.

“Isn’t it amazing! Talent given from heaven is talent, but people flock to it! This would not be possible without the force of fate! … But you know what? A warrior is always a being who appears only in the face of the unnatural destruction of the world.”

Gohan Gorim wandered around the world and saw many things.

A god who left on his own with a final blessing when he realized that people no longer needed him, a god who was betrayed by humans in the twilight of faith and disappeared leaving behind a curse.

There was a god who destroyed half of the world and caused civilization to deteriorate in order to restore his glory, and then there was a god who failed and was ruled by humans.

In rare cases, there were worlds that were destroyed by fighting among themselves without the intervention of a transcendent being.

“No matter what the ending is… Even if it led to destruction, there were no special events if it was made by the choices of those living in that world. However, when an external being intervenes, a hero or an unnatural phenomenon similar to it occurs.”

All of a sudden, the entire human race awakens supernatural powers, miracle materials are created by ridiculous coincidences, technologies are developed, and even colliding with other worlds that have already perished, making it possible to supply and demand otherworldly powers and artifacts. Etc.

Something truly unbelievable happens, and you gain the bare minimum of strength to resist destruction coming from outside.

“At first, I thought it was something like the will of the world. So, over a long period of time, I dug into the inner core of a star and immersed myself in the center of all dragon veins. However, there was nothing there. Nothing!”

What made up this world were only ordinary substances, and it contained no mystery or will.

“Then what kind of being could have performed a miracle that would be impossible even for God? … The answer is simple. There is a God above us too. “This is not a God who simply receives faith, but a God in the true sense of the word who creates and destroys the world and rules over everything!”

A noble reign with arms spread wide and cackling like crazy. I realized the madness peeking through it. Although it deals with the power of another evil god, its essence is still arrogance.

“Why on earth did that being create countless worlds? Why give us fate! Why! Do you want to make humans independent from God? I guess that doesn’t matter! “The important thing is that there is someone above me and who dares to control me!”

Those who watch us from above. So, those who guide us in a certain direction. The noble ruler decided to call the place they were in the upper world, and made it the destination of their aimless wandering life away from their destroyed world.

“But I don’t know where the upper limit is, and even if I reach it, there’s no guarantee that I can fight it with my own strength.”

So the noble ruler became an invader rather than a wanderer. Rather than accidentally becoming conflicted, we decided from the beginning to destroy the other world.

He overthrew the beautiful goddess who was loved by everyone, the wise one-eyed old god, the agricultural god who promised abundance, the warrior god who blessed the brave, and the justice god whose banner was fairness, and swallowed up countless warriors.

He obtained the seeds of lust, laziness, appetite, anger, and jealousy from the fallen gods and planted them in the crown.

By absorbing and tracing the power of the upper world within the warrior, he created a key that leads to the upper world.

“At first I thought it was bad luck. The first god who fell from this world planted the seeds of sloth. There is no need for duplicate sins. The warrior there was stronger than I thought. Both mental strength and military power.”

I should have taken refuge in my noble ruler a long time ago. Because most heroes were actually like that. But even though Rahim was crazy, he resisted the evil spirit.

The holy sword that pierced his heart was so strong that he had no choice but to lose most of his accumulated power and fall to the level of an ordinary evil god.

“But with risk there is always reward. Rahim was a great warrior, but he would eventually be unable to handle me and would vomit. “With the biggest piece heading towards the Upper World.”

-… Let me ask you just one question. What happens to Rahim after that?

“Well. He will come back to his senses, but he will barely survive because he has lost most of his strength along with me. The seal would also have naturally been released.

-…

It’s a story that feels like déjà vu. A seal that is released naturally. A warrior who burned his entire life. If you add the final sacrifice to this, isn’t it exactly the ending of H&A?

“Well, since the apostle I left outside died, I didn’t plan on waiting until then… You guys killed Rahim faster than that. Haha! Isn’t it funny? The end of a warrior who sacrificed everything for the world is the hostility of those he tried to protect. However, this is normal. “Because a warrior who has lost the power of the upper world can no longer be the center of humanity.”

The noble ruler who was chuckling to himself shrugged his shoulders.

“Let’s see.” Have you fully recovered your strength now? Did the wound heal? “I am the last evil god of the continent of Aurelia. Are you ready to fight against your despair?”

-Did you wait on purpose?

“Of course. “You shouldn’t take comfort in the excuse that you didn’t have enough strength due to a series of fights or that you failed because of an injured comrade.”

-You will regret it.

“No way. You give it everything you have. I will break it from the front and drag it down to the most miserable place. Realize the gap in your power, your perspective, and your goals, and despair. … “I hope that the seeds of greed grow at the bottom.”

A cruel smile appeared on the mouth of the noble ruler, who extended his index finger in this direction.

“What? “Becoming an evil spirit is not a bad experience.”

While the guy was fumbling, I prepared a lot of magic. No matter what kind of attack comes at any time, it will not be as easy as before.

He tensed the muscles of his entire body, spreading his magic widely and concentrating.

And suddenly the direction of the index finger changed. Towards Elisha, the weakest among those who went into battle.

“The price is everything you cherish.”

Several thick tentacles shot out from the fingers.
