Chapter 417
Demon World War (4)
parss—
The power that was concentrated in one place and formed a shape gradually began to disperse..
Hela, intoxicated by the lingering scent, quietly looked down at her hands..
The hand that just a moment ago held and swung this entire world, the 'demon world'.
‘This is... really amazing.’
I could tell because she had first-hand experience with her abilities..
This power was able to be used by herself, who became the representative of the Demon World, her subordinates, and the numerous causes and effects intertwined with them, spreading out in a chain like a net and covering the entire Demon World..
This is literally a kind of power granted only to God..
‘···In the first place, this would be possible because demons are magical creatures similar to spirits..’
Maybe it was for this system that the overall level of the demon world was higher than that of the normal life forms on the continent..
If you can use this power at will, it won't be that difficult to reign like a god in the demon world..
‘Of course, it's impossible to say.’
A chuckle escaped me..
Of course, even if he was a demon lord, there was no way he could use this much power as he pleased..
In the first place, this was a power delegated to the Demon God to smoothly manage the Demon World..
‘There is no way you can wield something like that as you like without restrictions..’
To put it simply, it was a power that was subject to all kinds of restrictions and limitations, but once activated, it exercised absolute authority in the demon world..
Crushire, as well as the beings that tried to descend through him, were excluded because they directly violated the standards..
“Ugh, my whole body aches. After all, the burden on the body is no joke..”
Hela complained softly, pouted her lips, and rolled her shoulders..
Considering the size of her body, I could guess how excessive the load was on her body..
Of course, looking at the scene unfolding in front of me, it just felt like a pointless killing..
The abandoned land, which was a wasteland, had large craters appearing here and there as if it had been bombed..
···In fact, it was because of the real photon bombardment, but that wasn't the important thing..
“Hmm, maybe it was a little too much??”
A thin groove that starts from a certain point on the earth and extends beyond the horizon..
And when Hella saw the scar crossing the sky, created by the line continuing upward, she patted her chin awkwardly..
‘But since it was my first time, I didn't have time to control my strength.···.’
Also, it was questionable whether it would have been possible to control the strength as the descent was almost over..
If I were not careful, I might have missed the time and made things more bothersome..
“···Well, it doesn’t matter because she’s prettier now.?”
Hela, who looked blankly at the cross-shaped scar carved into the purple sky for a moment, spoke refreshingly and shrugged her shoulders..
I didn't say this for nothing..
It was certainly true that the additional marks this time made the scars larger and made the sparkling Milky Way within them much more visible, thereby boasting a better view than before..
Even she, who had often looked up at the sky, was able to get lost in the beauty for a moment and admire it..
‘So now I have to clean up after myself..’
After looking around for a moment, she took a sip of her appetite..
In fact, there was nothing to organize..
In the first place, this was an abandoned land with nothing, and the target of the hunt, Crushire, was completely evaporated after the final blow that split the sky..
‘Since he had already sacrificed everything, even if there was a body left, there would have been nothing that could have been saved..’
Her eyes turned to those who had helped her..
A warlock wearing a jet-black robe, a vampire wearing an opera mask, a three-headed dog scratching the back of his neck with his hind paws, and a blonde kid coughing and blowing his nose..
And even the man in the metal suit is still hovering high above and looking down..
“Still···.”
Hela slowly licked her lips as she watched them finish their work and begin to disappear one by one..
Although he came to the Demon World, he focused on the perspective of one person who did not participate in this fight..
“If a dog raised for a long time causes harm to others, wouldn't it be natural for its owner to compensate for it??”
Even if I go, I have to pay for it..
I'm trying to wipe my mouth and pretend not to notice?
She raised her head again, looked at a star shining particularly brightly among the Milky Way, raised the corners of her mouth, and turned around..
Another friend will take care of collecting the remaining balance..
All she had to do now was get back to her seat as quickly as possible..
From now on, it's going to be really busy..
The only ruler of this demon world.
16As the Great Demon King.

“···I found it.”
Heinrich, who was flapping his wings of brilliance, muttered softly..
Wow!—
Like a lantern shining in the dark - the sacred aura emanating from his whole body, and the sight of the demonic energy not daring to get close, was enough to attract the attention of those around him, but he didn't care about that at all..
Not only is the place he is currently in a place that not only can anyone easily reach, but it is also difficult to observe properly with any level of ability..
“Did you hide it somewhere like this?.”
This place is several times higher in the sky than the location where Hesperon carried out the aerial bombardment..
It was the end of the world, with the Milky Way visible right in front of you..
‘「Without “Great Blessing: Wings of Radiance,” it would have been difficult to get through the magical storm and come this far..’
In the first place, the Demon World was nothing more than a side branch derived from Outerica..
It is a world in which the universe and the Milky Way cannot exist from the beginning..
‘···Anyway, it’s even more amazing when you see it up close. That's all···.’
The area given to this world called Demon World is limited to this point..
The Milky Way seen beyond the curtain that could no longer be crossed was the traces of the Lord scattered in the process of creation..
Because of the torrent of magic that covers the sky, it is impossible to observe them properly, so when you look up from the ground, they twinkle in the void and only look like stars..
“I have to admit one small detail. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have been able to find it even if I searched the earth for hundreds of days..”
And there was ‘it’ at the border of that world..
who suddenly disappeared from the Dark Nest's underground ritual hall..
The door leading to the temple of the imprisoned god.
‘Okay, how did you put saliva on this demon world? There's no way I could give up that easily.’
Immediately after joining in tracking Krushire's location..
Heinrich did not participate in the guy's hunt and continued to focus on finding something..
Unlike the tracking results of other avatars, there was a reaction that was felt only by him..
In the first place, it was too much power even without him participating..
‘I wondered if he had disappeared with Crushire..’
The Demon World is an area under the jurisdiction of a completely different god..
There's no way it would be easy to install a door connected to one's temple in a place like that.!
He probably had to pay a price in some way, and it must have been difficult to give up even now that his plan in the demon world had failed..
So it must have been secretly hidden in a place like this where no one can find it..
‘Then where.’
Heinrich approached the tightly closed door and tightly grasped the handle..
Grinding—
The door began to protest strongly against him, but···.
There was no way I could stop him like that now..
Kwaang!
He opened the door roughly, almost tearing it off, and naturally flew inside..
As the location of the temple was moved, the interior space itself was destroyed, and all the coordinates taken while underground were reset..
If you move to another place, the coordinates set this time will probably be useless..
But once you get inside like this, you will never be able to escape again..
———!
I could feel the anger pouring out of the temple through the rippling flow inside..
As if asking where you're coming in with those dirty feet.
“Yes, yes. It will be over soon, so stay calm..”
Of course Heinrich didn't care..
It flies quickly and calmly goes further inward..
‘The reaction is strong. My whole body is tingling..’
The temple was a special place even for the gods..
No matter how bad it was, it was nothing more than understanding the beings that came inside..
For that reason, wasn't he reluctant to summon Hans internally in order to avoid exposing information about Hans, who was at his peak??
“···I found it. the center of this temple.”
But what if it is a descendant of the main god, a god who is clearly higher than that??
Heinrich, the creator god of this world, the judge who sanctioned him who is now imprisoned in the abyss, and the champion of the main gods, who is also the father of all gods.?
‘In the first place, the basis of my strength was based on the blessings bestowed by the Lord..’
Plus, right now he was with Crushire and was expelled from the demon world..
Even if this is his territory, it will be difficult to do anything right after being kicked out..
In other words, unlike before, this temple is now no different from Muju Gongsan Mountain when the owner is away..
Puzzle! Pajik!
Gigi Geek—
The last time I looked, the door that wouldn't open no matter how hard I tried was forced open..
On the other side of a huge hall that would never fit a human size, but would only fit a giant..
The podium of the chapel where the heavily damaged holy icon was enshrined caught his eye..
“That's it, the core that maintains this temple..”
———!
The internal flow stirred violently, as if affirming his self-talk..
If we had communicated, it would have seemed like we would have poured out all kinds of double insults a long time ago..
But a curse from an enemy was no different from a compliment..
With a much more joyful heart, he moved his wings and landed in front of the huge shrine that matched the scale of the temple..
‘Is this his symbol??’
A large structure that has been damaged beyond recognition of its original shape..
Not only was it scorched and melted as if it had been burned, but it was so distorted that it looked like the face of a person screaming with a distorted expression..
‘···As expected, there was a sacred fragment here too. Well, if you've put a lot of effort into things thousands of years ago, this level of investment might be natural. It looks like this also acts as a relay with the demon world..’
I should have looked more closely when I first encountered the temple..
Since I missed it once when I took my time thinking I would investigate slowly, I was planning to settle the matter somehow this time..
Well, actually, the reason I stopped investigating at that time was because I couldn't find a way to open the door to this chapel..
‘Although he cannot directly absorb sacred fragments like other avatars... Because I am also a priest. There's a better way.’
Isn’t there a set way for priests to increase their power??
Heinrich, who looked up at the castle sign for a moment, placed both hands on the structure that seemed to be several times his height..
And then I quietly closed my eyes, not paying attention to the ominous energy I felt in my palm..
Ugh—
Then, he summoned his divine power and began to pray to the Lord..
This structure that his hands touched, a symbol of the blasphemous man who dared to go against the will of the Lord, was offered as an offering..
Grumbling!
right after that.
Holy power burning like a fierce flame completely covered Heinrich's body and holy symbol..
———!
The temple began to scream.
It was on a completely different level from the unstable appearance seen when the Demon Dragon Duke's barrier was destroyed previously..
A huge temple that is gradually disappearing after being distorted and twisted here and there, as if the world is about to be destroyed..
profit—!
“Pfft!”
At the same time, burning smoke flowed from both Heinrich's stigmata-carved hands that were in contact with the holy symbol..
The divine light emanating from his wide-open wings had already far exceeded the limits of his usual output..
The passage connected to the main body expanded to its fullest extent, and an enormous amount of divine power poured in..
Then at some point.
All the noise around me suddenly stopped..
No, it wasn't just the sound that disappeared..
Can't even tell if it's reality or fantasy—.
A space of nothingness where nothing exists.
In a moment of panic, his spirit began to soar high..
and.
We met there.
A great and holy being whom we had previously seen only a small fragment of..
‘This might be a little difficult···!’
The great will that shapes and sustains this world.
Even though I didn't really encounter it, just vaguely perceived it, it was such an overwhelming presence that the load on the "Mind Hub" and "Soul Firewall" immediately rose to the limit..
Eventually, the moment when the gaze of the main being turned to Heinrich.···.
“Hmm!”
His eyes widened at the feeling of falling without end..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—
···It wasn't my fault.
The sound of the fierce wind passing by your ears, the cold air that cools the sweat all over your body, and the strong wind pressure that pushes your face..
It was really falling down..
From the high sky that reached the end of the world to the distant earth.
The Milky Way, reflected beyond the cross-shaped scar carved in the purple sky, gradually became distant..
“Ugh, this time it’s a bit harsh.···.”
Even when I met the Lord several times before, it wasn't like this..
The body was in free fall in real time, but there was no strength left to lift even a finger in the body that was completely spread out..
‘After all, he is a creator god...? It's on a different level from other gods I've experienced so far..’
Heinrich sighed deeply..
I never thought I would be able to skydive like this in a place like this..
Even without a parachute, his entire body was paralyzed.!
“I can't help it···.”
But I also understood it to some extent..
That's right too···.
《The species value of the object has been changed to ‘Angel’. Acquire the special skill “Messenger of God”.》
《I gained enlightenment by encountering the Supreme Being. Acquire the special skill “Great Spirit”.》
It was even weirder that the race itself had changed and it was still fine..
I never thought I would become a real angel.
And soon after.
Suddenly, the new angel who fell from the sky of the demon world disappeared completely..
As if it never existed in this world from the beginning.
