Episode 111
After most of the Heavenly Army left the chapel, there were only a few people left inside.
Jitayu Shrine
, Piña, Great
Sage, Gerna,
and even Aiden. Only four people in total stayed there.
Piña muttered in an annoyed tone.
“Ugh it’s frustrating. “Because of that damn Fenrir, we have to establish the Earth God first.”
Because the seat of the Goddess of Earth was vacant, Piña could not demonstrate her abilities. Since Fenrir had declared that he would kill her, Finya had to prepare as well.
I need to get my strength back first.
She said, looking at Aiden.
“I’ll go to the Giant’s Forest first. And we also have to subdue the earth dragon… By any chance, my lord. “Can you help me?”
It looks like they will prepare a new throne for the earth in the same way as Iden. After meeting the spirit Elquidora, he probably plans to kill the earth dragon. Her strength wasn’t enough right now.
That was why Aiden’s help was needed, but the situation has changed. Because the work was already finished.
Aiden said.
“I’ve prepared everything. “Just place Elquidora on the throne and it’s over.”
Piña had a puzzled look on her face.
“You’ve done it that far?”
Iden nodded.
“You can go straight to the sanctuary.”
Piña couldn’t help but be a little impressed. I laughed and shook my head.
“I guess I haven’t slept in four years. “How did you do it all by yourself?”
I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since falling into this world. I moved day and night until my feet started sweating. This was possible because so many stats were invested in physical strength and mental strength.
Now even the hosts of heaven will live that kind of life.
Aiden said calmly.
“When you rest, the end approaches diligently. “Finish everything and go to bed later.”
Ji Tae-yu stared at Aiden with distant eyes.
“If this episode is really the last, I can just die and sleep for the rest of my life.”
It was very cynical. It was natural, having experienced dozens of setbacks and deaths, but it would have been difficult to continue like that.
One word can lower the morale of the entire team. Sometimes it was a factor that determined victory or defeat on the battlefield.
I couldn’t just leave it at that. Iden approached him.
“I have seen beyond the apocalypse. It’s possible this time too, so give it a try. “It’s the last time anyway.”
Ji Tae-yu opened his mouth.
“Beyond the apocalypse. It’s hard to understand. The end is literally the end. There can be nothing beyond that. “As you know, the devil is something that cannot be eradicated.”
It wasn’t wrong. Demons are beings that are conceived from human emotions, and unless all intelligent beings die, demons will continue to be born.
For example, killing Gu Xian, the source of ‘despair’, would only cause another source of despair to appear. Humans and demons were inseparable.
Ji Tae-yu was back.
“Well, not even demons can make humans extinct. “They feed on our emotions.”
This was the reason why descendants of the old empire remained in Magyeong. Food for demons. They do not cut off the human race and raise them like livestock.
Because they also need to eat to live.
Ji Tae-yu said.
“Now then, let me ask you a question. Is the end you are talking about the domestication of all mankind? “If not…”
The guy paused for a moment and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“Is this the extinction of intelligence?”
Aiden couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Domestication of all mankind. That means the defeat of the Continental Alliance in the game ‘Deus Boccatio’. In short, it meant that users who chose the continental camp would see the ending credits.
This wasn’t the reason I was surprised.
It was because of the mention of extinction of intelligent beings. An ending that no one but the user can know. This ending was the conclusion of a route in which the player chooses ‘Demon Cult or Devil’ and purifies the world by killing all intelligent beings and naturally extinguishing demons.
In the end, only animals and plants will remain in this world.
It was a way to see the ending through the demon religion or demon route.
However, this is only from the user’s perspective.
The demons of this world never want that kind of ending. There was no way they would do something like annihilate an intelligent being.
Therefore, Iden felt a great sense of discomfort at Ji Tae-yu’s comment.
In any of the episodes he went through, the demons would have simply domesticated humans.
How can he talk about the extinction of intelligent beings?
At that moment, a very unpleasant hypothesis flashed in Iden’s mind.
There is a player on the Demon Lord’s side. No, Aiden’s character exists. There is no explanation other than that.
Aiden opened his mouth, suppressing his emotions as best as he could.
“······Since when did it start?”
Ji Tae-yu narrowed his eyebrows slightly.
“What do you mean?”
“This is the episode where the demons’ goals changed.”
From domestication to extinction.
Ji Tae-yu slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
“You know something.”
“Speak quickly.”
“The two most recent worlds were like that.”
Iden felt extremely dizzy. Hypotheses were turning into truth.
13th Yoo Ji-tae Murciela. After Bentham, he was a character raised on a sub-account and was a devil from the magic world.
Because of the difficulty of clearing the continental camp, he was the one who chose to start in the Demon Realm just once.
Iden didn’t like it when characters with evil tendencies polluted his main account. I even dug up the secondary account and raised it, but it looks like he passed over too.
If true, it is a very burdensome task.
Murciella was the character that came closest to clearing.
Iden said in a low voice.
“Recently, it was called two worlds. Was it like usual before?”
“It was the same. Their goal was to turn the continent into a huge farm. One thing suddenly changed. “Recently, they have been trying desperately to kill everyone.”
It must have been like this ever since he recruited Dragoon Bentham as a colleague.
Because Bentham was the 12th character and Murciela was the 13th character.
Ji Tae-yu said with a distant expression.
“Cain said change is a waste of time. That’s bullshit. Change is a disaster. From the moment it changed, didn’t it become more terrible? The same goes for your appearance.”
Iden wanted to punch him, but he barely held back. Iden was clearly responsible for that attitude. I gathered my emotions and opened my mouth.
“Answer the question without talking nonsense. In the last two worlds, demons that you have never seen before have appeared. “What was your name?”
Ji Tae-yu chuckled.
“There are so many that it’s hard to even list them.”
I guess so. Even if the plot changes slightly, the demons that appear also change. This is because they were beings born from human emotions.
For example, if a resident who was happy in the previous episode falls into misfortune in this world, he or she will conceive an unprecedented evil.
Such variables were bound to arise. The actions of the heavenly army are always different, and the residents who are saved also change every time. It was a kind of butterfly effect.
However, Aiden’s question was not of that type.
I asked again.
“Of the most influential demons.”
Ji Tae-yu answered as if he had been waiting.
“Murciela.”
Piña nodded.
“that’s right. But I’ve never seen it before. “He’s a guy who hides in the crotch of a drunk and licks buttholes.”
That was the concept. tactician. The main body’s strength was nothing special, but the power it possessed made it very difficult to deal with.
He is someone who started from the humblest background in the Demon World and rose to become the Demon Lord, so he should never be ignored.
Aiden said.
“He’s already moving.”
Piña tilted her head.
“It hasn’t been like that until now. Isn’t it roughly around 380 years according to the Bacheksar calendar? “It only gradually became active after 390, the year we investigated in the previous episode.”
Piña was talking like that because she didn’t know that Murciela was the ‘one who remembers’.
This guy had already experienced several setbacks. Such learning must have changed behavior patterns.
Suddenly, Iden had a question.
Why is Murciela still trapped in this world? If Cheongun failed, it meant that he succeeded in clearing it. They should have been liberated.
I didn’t even know there were separate conditions for escaping from the game. Since I can’t infer anything right now, I decided to bury it for now.
Come back.
Iden was convinced that Murciela was at work.
The antics of the demon ‘Petersarkin’ were evidence.
He recently tore down the sacred barrier and sent Gu Xian to the continent. At that time, I couldn’t understand it at all. Why would a demon god intervene in the middle of something like this? I passed on without being able to resolve my doubts, but now I see it was because of Murciela’s influence.
Just as the Heavenly Armies possessed all the powers and stats from the first round, this guy will be the same.
You will be able to fight alone with the devil.
If you leave it alone, a terrible ending is sure to follow. Its purpose is simple. The annihilation of all intelligence. Even demons will naturally disappear, and the world will be purified.
Iden stopped playing Murciella because it was a part that showed the game creator’s bullshit philosophy.
It was like giving up just before clearing.
Iden thought for a moment and said.
“Murciela is definitely active this episode. “We target him first.”
In a way, he was like Aiden’s child, so even though he said that, he felt awkward.
But I couldn’t dwell on it. If I sympathized, I would lose the lives of the 12 Heavenly Soldiers, Iden’s own life, and all of my ties to this world.
His subconscious no longer thought of ‘Deus Boccatio’ as a game.
I truly loved Saya, I cared for Yuriel, Euron, Daryl, Siron… everyone was precious.
I was going to do whatever it took to prevent the apocalypse.
Piña shook her head a little skeptically.
“Whatever it is, I can’t kill it right now.”
Ji Tae-yu opened his mouth.
“This guy has no substance. It can exist anywhere there is magic energy. “Maybe he’s with us right now.”
Piña frowned.
“Please stop talking bullshit. “Is the sacred force field a decoration like your hair?”
Despite the harsh tone, Ji Tae-yu did not change his expression. He shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Think about it. Iden has already solved the Baranteharan Labyrinth. Isn’t that a devil’s land? Now that Iden has returned to the continent, he may have followed along as a tail.”
Piña snorted.
“I can only sigh. Barrante Haran is surrounded by a barrier, and even if it was somehow breached, what would happen to the force field of the demonic realm itself? “If it was possible to ignore it and move on because of metastasis, all humans would have died a long time ago?”
Ji Tae-yu chuckled.
“Then what if the Demonic Field’s force field was pierced even once? “Wouldn’t my hypothesis also gain strength?”
“Where is that? “Only one car…”
Piña closed her mouth after speaking. I stared at Aiden with slightly embarrassed eyes.
“My lord. When I was explaining it earlier, I said that Gu Xian had crossed over from the Demon Realm…”
At that time, the sacred barrier was torn. It was a very small hole, but it was enough for a few handfuls of magic energy to fall through.
Ji Tae-yu looked at Aiden. Contrary to his expectations, Aiden’s expression was calm.
Ji Tae-yu lowered the corners of his mouth as if he was not amused.
“What were you expecting?”
This was something I had guessed ever since I heard the name Murciela.
Gu Xian was a bait, and in fact, he may have fallen for it.
Murciela. That clever guy must have some kind of intention. Of course, I couldn’t be sure.
Iden looked at Piña.
“The arrow of perm that kills unconditionally. “Can I use it?”
It was Piña’s power that could be used only once in a lifetime.
Piña answered with a slightly trembling voice.
“I haven’t used it yet in this episode, but I can’t kill it with that in the first place. That guy…”
Iden shook his head.
“If you can, follow me. “Let’s get your authority back first.”
We had to re-establish the Earth God and utilize Piña’s abilities.
I felt eerie for no reason. I felt like someone was watching.
That was the feeling. It may be an illusion.
