The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 221

Chapter 221

TL: Zimmings

Time quickly passed by.

I floated through the air as if I had become a soul that had escaped my body.

After being swept away by the river, the girl slept as if she were dead. The boy remained by his sister’s side throughout the ordeal.

[Leblaine, get out of bed. Your favorite violets are in full bloom in the field. Let’s bake bread, grab some fresh milk and go for a picnic. I won’t break my promise this time…….]

Hearing his pitiful voice made my heart ache, as if I was this girl.

However, no matter how much time passed, the girl didn’t open her eyes. Even spring and summer have already passed.

It rained every day for weeks on end. The sun is veiled by thick clouds, and the distinction between day and night is blurred.

The boy ran out of the house.

[Please save Leblaine.]

In front of God, the rain-soaked boy trembled, and screamed with his blue lips.

[Serga, please save my sister.……!]

[I have no power to change her fate.]

God reached out to reach the boy’s pallid cheek.

Slap!

However, the boy slapped God’s hand and glared. The person next to God shouted [Neliard!], but the boy only gritted his teeth.

[Then, why does God exist?]

[To guide humans.]

[Guide! Guide!! It’s always guiding……!!]

The boy grew up to be evil. His rage-filled eyes were as red as those of a devil, as if he were possessed by the devil itself.

[Humans refer to you as a father. It’s funny. What kind of father leaves a child who is suffering?]

[Neliard-!!]

Neliard merely snorted.

[Guide us? Don’t be ridiculous. In the end, the place where I walked and arrived at will be hell. The wars do not cease and children’s lives are getting taken away! You are an incompetent one who can’t save a single child!!]

[…….]

[Leblaine acted according to your wishes from beginning to end, and there is no other child more innocent than that idiot! The girl lost her parents at birth, and had to cross the desert to live when she was only five years old. My poor sister often starved for days, yet she was willing to give me everything she earned and smiled stupidly!]

[…….]

[She trusted and had waited for me…… she kept waiting……!]

He shouted and fell to the floor. He crawled across the floor and bowed his head to God.

[Save her…….]

[…….]

[Save her, please…….]

The boy clings to God in grief and sobs like a child. All of that is for his sister. He begged over and over.

The boy’s eyes were moist as he looked up at God. God slowly opened his mouth.

[Countless precious souls have withered away. I cherish you and your sister, but I cannot help you alone. If your sister’s life remnants still exist, she’ll survive. If not, she’ll return to my arms.]

[Why did you make humans finite…?]

[Because finite is beautiful.]

The boy peered blankly into God’s eyes and said,

[Curse you.]

In an instant, thunder rumbled across the sky. After hearing the sound echoing throughout the temple, God closed his eyes and lowered his head.

The boy was taken to prison by others.

He stared into the void, which was illuminated only by a sliver of light in the darkness.

One day, two days, three days, four days… The passage of time went without a hitch.

One day in autumn, the boy was released from prison at the mercy of God.

The boy staggered out of the temple with a weak body. And he encountered…

[Brother……!]

She was running towards him with a bright smile.

The boy’s pupils shook violently. She jumped into his arms.

[Brother you’re an idiot. Do you know how worried I was?]

[You, Leblaine…… How…….]

[I just woke up. But you’re gone!]

A chuckle could be heard next to her as she cried out in frustration. It was Boone.

[The child has made an appeal to Serga on your behalf. She struggled so hard that all the pioneers helped her. From now on, do not speak blasphemous words again.]

[…….]

The boy gasped loudly. She smiled brightly while hugging his waist, without realizing that his eyes were different from before.

The boy’s power manifested themselves on that day.

The boy looked after Serga like before. After he came of age, he did not take on the role of taking care of a jurisdiction like other pioneers, but travelled the human world and bestowed God’s favor.

She waited endlessly for the boy who was away from home for months, eyes years.

During that time, she has grown up. Her hair that was fluttering behind her back grew longer to her waist, her round face became slimmer, and she had the appearance of an adult.

One day, God asked her,

[Don’t you resent me?]

[No.]

[I am a weak parent who doesn’t save my child who is suffering from pain, but only gives them hope.]

[It’s like a parent teaching a child to walk. Instead of raising me when I fall, you taught me how to get up.]

[I made human life finite and made an eternal parting.]

[An endless being does not know the value of life. But because we are finite, a flower blooming in the field, the warmth while holding hands is precious for us. That’s why humans are beautiful.]

God kissed her head.

Time passed like a flowing stream. From that day on, big and small incidents occurred in the world.

The rift started from a country far from God.

Those who called themselves kings divided humans into status; Nobles, commoners, and slaves.

Those who lost the war were bought and sold as commodities.

When the human world was divided into more than ten countries, the pioneers realized that those whom God has bestowed wisdom, have been swallowed up by sin.

He was my brother, Neliard.

She grabbed Neliard and shouted.

[How come? Why did you do that, why!]

[We can’t save everyone, so why is it such a big deal?]

[God gave you wisdom to save the hungry!]

[Even God can’t save them properly. But when there is a king and a nobleman, it is different. If they go under their commands, they’ll get fed. There would be no starvation.]

[Brother!]

[God!]

Neliard shouted at me.

[Don’t think that God is your savior! All the troubles of this land came from the hands of God. Because time is finite and wealth is finite, they steal and fight.]

[… What do you want to say?]

[Leblaine, did you ever think that way? A more powerful God is needed to save humans. If I make all human beings born in the right place for me and make them obey stronger power, desire will disappear on this earth. War as well.]

[That’s taking a human opportunity away. You don’t give them a chance to be happy. If God decides all fates, it is no different than an animal.]

[See, animals and humans. There are also differences in species. But, isn’t it strange that there shouldn’t be any differences between humans?]

She looked at him with an expression of disbelief.

[…… You’re crazy.]

[Everything is for the poor.]

He whispered as he kissed my forehead.

[Leblaine, I want to present you with a world without desire.]

[…….]

[A world where we don’t cry anymore. A world where I don’t have to shudder in fear of losing you.]

[Brother, if you don’t give up on your will, I’ll abandon you.]

[Someday you will understand me too.]

Only then did she finally realize. He’s dead set on making his plans come true.

The number of humans following Neliard has increased. There were more temples in honor of Neliard than Serga’s on the ground.

The land was constantly turning into a hell. As time passed, pioneers began to sympathize with Neliard’s will.

She asked God.

[How come you don’t stop my brother?]

[Because that is also fate.]

[Does God have a fate?]

[I mixed some parts of me into my creations. How can I be different from them?]

[Is that so…]

[Why do you not blame God?]

[Because I know that God loves us]

[…….]

[I know you hide and weep even when a nameless life dies. That’s how I know to God, every day is an ordeal and pain.]

Serga stroked my cheek.

[How are you so precious?]

[…….]

[You make me never give up on my creation.]

God was as sweet as always, but the world grew darker and darker.

After spending a few days in her house, she picked up my robe.

[Where are you going? If Neliard knows… Leblaine!]

[I have to clean up my brother’s shit.]

[What kind of vulgar words… !]

She went on a trip by herself. She devoted her time and energy to assisting those in need.

Most of the time, she worked to heal the sick. It’s been several months since she healed the sick using the mysterious herbs that she learned from God.

People called her the goddess of healing.

[Even so.]

[Could you please tell me your name? Uncle Edelhof said he was going to build a statue of the goddess in the village, but he said he was upset that he didn’t even know your name.]

[Statue?]

[The goddess took care of all of Uncle Edelhof’s children, right? Please tell me your name. Aren’t you going to leave the village soon?]

This village was an abandoned place swept away by Neliard’s followers. If it were revealed that she was Lebpaine, Neliard’s younger brother, everyone would be confused between resentment and gratitude.

She glanced around and saw a signboard with blurred letters in the distance. Meriandureas. The other text is blurred…

[Meria, my name is Meria.]

When I heard her, I was very surprised.

What?

You mean that Meria was me?

[How dare you pretend to be a Goddess!]

[You…….]

[Oh, hello there. I am the pioneer who replaced Hyunga, who went to sleep… I’m Lard Stor.]

‘Oh my God.’

You mean that I was the Meria that the idiot loved?

‘Did I betray him? Nonsense!’

I wasn’t even interested in him!
