2nd Round Villain

106 – – Year N, ugly monsters and noble species – 1

It was a transparent, clear, and filled with five colors. After leaving the divine realm and returning there again, Maria swallowed her saliva.

‘This space is… .’

“Are you curious about this place? I would have answered that it was a ‘road’ that leads to anywhere.”

“If I could really go anywhere… How is it different from teleport magic?”

“It’s different, how can a single movement and omnipotent authority be the same?”

“Did you just say that you are omnipotent? Only the Lord is omniscient and omnipotent.”

“Put. That sounds funny.”

Kanos spilled arsenic sarcastic. Maria let out a slight shudder when she realized she had read her thoughts.

“Saintess, the place you are heading to is here.”

Kanos waved his hand in the air. A transparent circle hung in the air. It was a circle of white haze rising like smoke.

“The door of life. All souls enter the body through this place.”

“This… It is the realm of life and death. Why are you, the demon lord, involved?”

“I don’t know why I have to answer.”

“… .”

A formless force enveloped Maria’s body. Even though Maria’s legs were obviously still, she moved toward the door of life of her own accord.

‘Soon… The karma of causation is over. It’s bittersweet.’

‘From now on, every day will be busy. I have to take over the Joker’s job… More than anything, I have to stop that demon lord.’

‘Why does the devil want to use it for evil when he has such strong power? no… I don’t understand why you want to be stimulated before that.’

When they reached the door of life, Maria raised her divine power and resisted Canos’ telekinesis. Maria stopped moving for a moment and asked a question.

“Let me ask you one question.”

“That is rude.”

“Why is the Demon King trying to destroy the continent?”

“Because there is no reason not to destroy it.”

“Continents are where countless lives live. It is a place where many dreams and hopes bloom. Does the Demon King have a taste for trampling on their dreams and feeling bliss?”

“ha… You’re annoying.”

Kanos nervously shook his head. Her long, long hair fell over, revealing her tall forehead.

“Saintess, do you think you cut your life by chopping firewood with an axe?”

“… yes?”

“You are like that to me. Kill or not, I have no feelings or emotions. Do you feel the joy? The answer is ‘no’. What kind of crazy guy would feel the joy of splitting firewood. Useless rubbish is to be thrown in the trash. That is what a continent is to me.”

“what… Being unable to feel emotion in harming life means losing the ability to empathize.”

“Did you know that now? I don’t know empathy. I’ve never felt any emotions. To me, the world is gray and gray. There is neither light nor darkness.”

“Understanding… .”

“I wear sunglasses because I want to see the darkness at least, but I can’t see the darkness even with that. And don’t try to understand me If you could understand me, and if I could understand you, saintess, I would be a warrior, not a demon king.”

Kanos muttered in a melancholy voice.

“I just want to feel the stimulation. It’s an impossible wish even for the omnipotent me, but just in case. Will the miracle Joker bring me a miracle? A life-and-death fight where my life is at stake… If that’s the case, maybe you’ll feel the stimulation. That’s the only thought.”

“The fact that such an existence exists in the world… Is that possible?”

“You are trying to find a reason in the world. It’s really stupid.”

Kanos’s finger went up and pointed at Maria’s thick chest.

“Even you don’t understand right now that you fell in love with the Joker five hundred years ago.”

“That’s because I felt the emotion of love for Joker.”

“emotion? Then why did you feel that emotion? Joker is evil. Do you mean that the saintess has a taste for being affectionate with evil men?”

“punning… .”

“Yeah, it’s a joke. It’s a pun because you’re trying to find a reason for your feelings. Sometimes, just as a female develops affection for a male who is the exact opposite of her taste, the world is full of unknown reasons.”

Again, an intangible force pushed Maria’s back. Maria was helplessly sucked into the door of life by the stronger power.

Facing the disappearance of Maria towards ＜Birth＞, Kanos let out his words.

“Good luck. If you save the continent and win love, you won’t be able to sympathize with me, but there will be no other life that is as successful as that. What is that love game… .”

Shaaa-.

A transparent halo of light enveloped Maria.

*****

After sending Saint Mary away to the continent, Demon King Kanos remains alone.

She stared at the place where the door of life had disappeared for a moment, then turned her head and opened a new door and entered it.

A vast darkness enveloped Kanos. Even so, in Kanos’s field of view, it was something gray, neither light nor dark.

spirit world.

The divine realm, where the gods live, the devil realm, the land of demons, the celestial realm, the heavenly space, and the continent, the land of mortals.

– A very unusual and special dimension that is completely different from the field.

‘The biggest prison.’

Bondi, the spirit world is a prison. locking someone up

A strange world that is bottomless and endless, neither round nor concave.

Those imprisoned in it wander forever in the spirit world. Although there is an execution scaffold called a cross, it is the only structure in the spirit world.

After entering the spirit world, Canos proceeded to the cross on which Saint Mary had been nailed. In contrast to Mary’s small body, a cross that was too large stood tall in the center of the spirit world.

Canos flew leisurely to the cross. The front of the cross, where Mary had been impaled, was no longer there. There are only the scars of the nails through which Mary’s wrist and the cross were threaded.

however.

The situation in ＜Backside＞ was different.

back side of the cross. A place where even those who are tied to the front cannot see two sides of the sky unless their necks are stretched out like snakes.

There, an old man was impaled in a position similar to Maria’s. It was an old man with a shrunken body and a withered face reminiscent of a mummy.

“The extinction is not far.”

“… Canos… .”

Her dry lips were as dry as earthworms after rain. A voice cracking like a drought-stricken wasteland recited the name of the demon king.

“given.”

******

Even if you call Maria with a rosary, even if you use tell magic. Now there is only silence. It means that there is no Mary on the other side of the rosary.

It also means that Maria was born on the continent.

It was the year 701 of the Imperial calendar that Maria asked me to come to Eden Academy. And now, the year 683 of the Imperial calendar. I will enter Eden Academy in 18 years.

However, now I can move freely. Now that the saintess was born, there is no history that cannot be changed.

There are two things I need to do right now. The first is to raise my pet Goblin Meta as a god. Since he has developed a lot of bowls and is a meta with natural talent, he will surely succeed in this life.

The second is to participate in the baptism of Saint Mary and sprinkle holy water with my hands… I just don’t want to do that.

The desire to do it is still like a chimney. But why are you giving up? That’s because I want to prove that I’ve changed.

The saintess wants to reunite with me at the academy. And he doesn’t want to show me his infancy. It doesn’t make much of a difference between countries.

If it had been me in the past, I would have recklessly visited it, ignoring other people’s feelings. Then, while purring, he would have dressed up as a priest and sprinkled holy water on the saintess. However, that was clearly an act of ignoring the saintess’ feelings.

Yes, this too is another ‘development’. To ‘restrain’ my desires for the sake of others!

I suddenly get goosebumps seeing myself doing things I could never have imagined in the past without hesitation. Self-esteem is also full.

You can meet the saintess after 18 years, when her ego is fully equipped. These are ‘consideration’, ‘altruism’, and ‘good deeds’! If the Lord also sees me, he will surely be especially proud.

“Oscar, where are we going now?”

Meta, who was walking next to me, asks a question. I replied with a grin.

“I’ll let you know when it arrives.”

“yes… Yeah, but don’t other people go with you? Beatrice-sama or John-sama… Uriel too… Why is it only me and Aruni… .”

“They? No, if you interfere, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“Are you going to do something important this week? ?”

Meta throws a question with a startled face. The fear of the unknown future is all over his face.

Son, you’ve worked hard so far. now you are a god

The birth of a new god in the world is a huge event that completely changes history. I couldn’t have done such a big thing before the saintess was even born.

But now there is nothing to shy away from. Therefore, I will put the ＜God Creation Project＞ into action right now. why? If more time passes, I will have to enter Eden Academy.

Gods are not made in a snap. Creating a god is only possible when a vast amount of faith is gathered. Of course, it takes a lot of time. It took three years in my previous life.

“Kong! Kwong Kwong Kwong! young demons! why only we go! Other humans!”

“Aru, be quiet! What kind of wolf is so loud!”

“Err… ! Where are you going! Knock!”

Did this wolf child get attached to his teammates? Why is there so much backlash?

The reason for bringing only Aru and Meta to make Meta a god is simple. No matter how much my existing party believes in me and follows me, making a god is in a slightly different area. Should I say I won’t be watching?

Except for the main god who created the world in the beginning, all gods are created only by faith. What is faith here? Isn’t that the fanatical belief of the group?

There is a law of cause and effect in everything in the world. In other words, equivalent exchange. If you change something, that much something will be created. It is no different on a psychological level.

For example, let’s say that A passionately loves Eul. As much as the amount of love that A gives to Eul, the people around them or Eul are affected. That is the result of causality at the mental level.

But faith has no ‘object’. Because you want something that doesn’t exist. The lost energy of faith wanders the world.

However, if too many people embrace the same faith, the missing energy becomes too large. Only then is God born. Like the gods of Olympus or the gods of Asgard now.

And this is a very natural common sense, but God is a realm that humans should not dare to interfere. Occasionally, crazy seeds like the god-slayer Theseus appear, but when humans dare to harm the gods, they themselves receive great criticism.

Even more so if you are going to create a god… Kww. In my eyes, it’s fantastic, in the eyes of the emperor, it’s a combat weapon, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it’s a crazy, crazy demon. It means that the idea alone is dragged to the Inquisition and burned at the stake.

Although Nioh John is my colleague, he is fundamentally an apostle of Saint Irowell. Also, Beatrice Constantino was once a faithful paladin. Not to mention Uriel, who dreams of becoming an archangel. No, more than other humans, Uriel is the biggest problem.

In the end, all that remains is Aru, who has no common sense. When I promote meta to a god, it’s the target I’ll set up as a guardian law. And above all… In order to gather faith, you have to maintain extreme concentration, but too many people are annoying. I don’t know when to buy and hit, and my heart is nervous.

Hmm, after thinking that far, I realized I almost made a big mistake. Now, Aru will be my only guardian, but if I forget to do something wrong with Aru, I could end up being f*cked like a soldier who came in without luck.

He calmly put down his hand that was about to hit Aru on the back of the head. Aru, who had been scolding me, tilted his head. Because I smiled endlessly and stroked her hair.

“Kuong? Why are you suddenly nice to me?”

“There is such a thing. Anyway, don’t ask about the others. When the time is right, we will meet each other.”

“Kyung… When will that be?”

“I only need to sleep for about ten nights.”

It’s actually thousands of nights, but I said ‘sleep’. It’s not wrong, since Aru won’t be able to sleep because he’ll be protecting Meta and Meta from now on.

“Ten nights… short! I can see you soon!”

“Yes, yes, aren’t we, Aru, nice? Will you give me some meat when I go back later?”

“Kong! meat! Kung!”

After all, a dog is a dog, your eyes change when you give them meat. I completely forgot about my co-workers.

“Um… I’m nervous because it’s important… Chwiik… .”

Meta makes a goblin noise after a long time. The guy who then immediately shuts his mouth in surprise. I chuckled.

If you can control yourself to that extent, it is safe to say that all preparations are over.

“No need to worry. just… You just need to be a little more determined. Then I will take care of it.”

Putting my right and left hands on top of Meta and Aru’s heads, I spat out those words. to reassure them.

Beatrice, Nioh, and Uriel. I ran away behind them, but it’s not like I didn’t take action. I wrote to each of them what to do and left a letter.

step is light I am already looking forward to the future where I will blow big taffy to the gods.

*****

“My lord has disappeared. I just left the unknown letter behind.”

Oscar’s faithful knight, Beatrice, flicked through a letter as if to show it off.

“A leader? no wonder… I haven’t seen you since morning… .”

“Asmodians! I have to go find it! Colleagues must not fall!”

The human king John and the angel Uriel each gave their own responses. Unlike Uriel, who responded that it seemed likely, John looked quite surprised.

Beatrice restrained him, unfazed. Reading the first line of the letter given to him.

“No, my lord left a letter telling me not to look for him. and… You gave us a task to do while you were away.”

“assignment? Something?”

When John asked with his eyes wide open, Beatrice lowered her brown eyes. The next moment, her eyes flashed open.

“To the continental empire… Create a virtual family with a clear identity. and… .”

“and?”

“Eden… to the academy… Becoming a teacher… ? what does this mean… ?”
