Episode 124 .
To watch over all demons alone? It was a very radical and primitive method, but Murciella saw a noble spirit in it.
Maw’s Jailer and Eternal Watcher. A being who hates demons more than anyone else wants to embrace all the malice in this world.
It will be a never-ending cycle. I will carry the burden of peace and continuity on my shoulders, and I will forever be with the demons I hate so much.
Murciela looked up at Iden. Their eyes met calmly, as if they had made up their mind a long time ago.
There wasn’t even an inch of lies mixed in. He was serious about taking it.
Murciella opened her mouth slowly.
“It will be heavy.”
“It’s none of your business.”
Aiden didn’t want to hear the obvious, but Murciela continued.
“Noble indeed, but in the end it will be crushed under the weight of the lead of years. Even if you endure, the world will forget you exist. Time will make it so. When a hundred, two hundred, and finally eons have passed, the name Taekwang will have already faded and disappeared like dust. That means no one will remember your sacrifice.”
It may be. In a world where the main enemy of the devil has disappeared, the power of God will no longer be needed.
Religion will remain as a pillar supporting people’s hearts. As now, you will not truly feel God by his side.
Even myths can be distorted and transformed to suit the tastes of those in power.
Faith will survive, but that faith will not be directed towards Aiden now. He only served Taekwang, who had been corrupted by history.
Aiden let out a calm voice.
“Does not matter.”
Murciella made a dejected expression.
“Another god may usurp your feat. No, definitely will. Shaylan, the Sea God, will claim that he has submerged all the demons, and Jimo will say that he fertilized malice and achieved fertility. What do you think the gumiho will do? Obviously, he will advertise that he has purified the dirty souls. I don’t think even Bacheksar will be much different. I will take away the merits of my son.”
Aiden shook his head.
“That doesn’t happen.”
“How can you say so?”
“When I leave with the demons, all thrones will be empty.”
Murciela narrowed her brow.
“… In other words, Son, I will slaughter all the gods.”
“I will if there is no other way.”
“Do you want a monotheistic God?”
“similar.”
As impossible as it was, Murciela felt a glimmer of hope. Because the subject who spoke was Iden. Due to the nature of the seeker of destruction, there was no powerless limit.
To become the only god, strength alone was not enough, but it was like putting the first button in order.

What if Aiden could absorb the values governed by the rest of the gods? I didn’t know if I would come close to being truly monotheistic.
only one god. Aiden said that he would become such a one-of-a-kind and disappear.
“Why so much?”
“It is a useless question. Exclude my intentions and just look at the results.”
The end will not come.
It was an ideal ending for everyone except Iden and the devil.
Murciela was lost in thought. His expression calmed down, and after a while he opened his mouth again.
“It was an informative conversation.”
Aiden took a sheet of parchment from his bosom and held it up. The indulgences obtained from Arhan. It was an artifact that forgives sins unconditionally according to the target’s will to repent.
Demons can also become human if they repent.
Iden said.
“Take out the body. I need your blood.”
Murciela shook her head.
“I will not become human.”
“You can’t keep the devil around.”
“Oops, it broke down.”
Aiden frowned.
“Then there is only death.”
Murciella laughed.
“Do you know how many demons have been pardoned in a thousand years? There is only one. Our people choose death rather than become human. I am also a devil, so it is the same.”
lie. Shim An had judged that.
It meant that there were other reasons that could not be humanized.
Iden said.
“If you’re thinking of going back to the Devil’s Nest and playing the role of a ganja, stop. You have lost Peter Sarkin’s confidence by failing this task. It is difficult to help me there.”
The guy drew an arc line.
“I don’t remember saying I was with you.”
“Then decide now. What should I do?”
I was thinking of looking into the guy’s intentions with my mind’s eye.
“Your mouth is heavy.”
Aiden nodded.
“Then die.”
I felt strange. The feeling of pouring vomit with words. Maybe it’s because he’s considered a child.
I was thinking of pulling out a knife. If necessary, I had to persevere.
Murciella raised an eyebrow.
“Why did you escape the heartbreak? Didn’t you ask that?”
This was the only part of Murciela’s behavior that I couldn’t understand.
The guy opened his mouth again.
“It was to parasitize the soul of a unique individual.”
A rare agitation passed across Aiden’s expression.
unique object. Even after death, their souls do not immediately disappear, but temporarily belong to the underworld.
It was the same with Saya in the past. Spiritual creatures are also possessed, so they left for the underworld without dying.
This was the reason why the power of reviving the lion did not overturn the cause and effect of ‘disappearance’, but only demanded the resurrection of Saya from the god of the underworld.
If Uriel had used the power of the sea god on an ordinary human, the underworld god ‘Mabet’ would not have intervened.
In short, a unique entity meant to live two lifetimes.
Once in the present world and once in the underworld. Of course, it was difficult to see the latter case as true life. Because only the soul remained, waiting for immortality.
Iden said.
“Your soul is going down to the underworld with Barmont?”
I roughly understood the reason for awakening the source.
It was Murciela’s insurance. It assumed the possibility of failure on the continent.
In other words, he would have been parasitized by Barmont and tried to escape.
Even the divine force fields could not prevent the souls of the underworld from belonging.
Murciella smiled and shook her head.
“It was supposed to be like that, but things went a little wrong.”
“Because you didn’t know exactly what the Four Commandments were.”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s a fatal mistake. My soul has been captured by a nine-tailed fox.”
Saya handles other people’s souls freely. There was no way I could not have noticed the gisaeng.
For Murciela, it was difficult to grasp Saya’s level because she had never experienced a nine-tailed fox in any episode.
In a way, it was the work of the heavenly army. Because they have been killing baby nine-tailed foxes whenever the world goes backwards. It created a disconnection of information.
said Murciela.
“But, you know what? My soul has been nearby since a while ago.”
I wanted to know what you meant. Just when Iden was puzzled, the door to the interrogation room opened slowly with a creaking sound.
Saya was standing. Very cold eyes. Iden’s gaze was so cold.
I’ve never made a face like that with my lover.
“… that’s ridiculous, really.”
I must have overheard the conversation. Except for the part that was intertwined with the taboo, you should have understood everything.
There was even talk of claiming to be the devil’s watcher.
Saya chewed her lips and said.
“Aiden, are you serious?”
Aiden felt a terrible dizziness. I felt sorry for myself for not being able to catch my footsteps even with my good hearing.
It might have flown, but… it was just like that.
Iden couldn’t come up with the best answer, so he kept his mouth shut.
“answer quickly.”
It was hard to get over it or make up with lies.
Iden sighed and opened his mouth.
“sorry.”
“Did you apologize? You asked if I was serious.”
Saya couldn’t accept it at all. Why should Iden alone bear such pain? It was something that should never have happened.
With no answer coming back, the air began to cool down.
Murciella, who had been watching him quietly, coughed.
“Couldn’t you slow down that conversation later?”
Then, he pointed to his and Barmont’s souls that were tied up in the air.
“Life is coming to an end. If you don’t send me to the underworld, I will perish.”
Aiden examined the lover’s expression. It was hard like wax, so it was difficult to release it right away.
Once he returned to the task at hand, he said.
“The same goes for going to the underworld.”
could not be resurrected. except in a few ways.
Murciela shook her head.
“It was twisted. Also, you provided one more solution.”
“You mean Jura?”
Yu Ji-tae’s ninth character, Jura, went down to the underworld. It was to make a contract with the ancient heroic spirits.
Murciela drew an arc line.
“It is. It would be nice to sneak in.”
It won’t be easy.
“Anyway, I don’t have many options. As long as you are parasitized by Barmont, you must go down unconditionally in the summer.”
Aiden glanced slightly at Saya and said.
“no. If you tear your soul, you will be utterly annihilated.”
The nine-tailed fox was even capable of erasing the soul of a unique individual.
Murciella opened her mouth.
“I know roughly. So, would you like to?”
“I should. Because you refused indulgences.”
“As I said, demons are inherently incapable of living as humans. It’s impossible, but you keep forcing me…”
“Stop the bullsh*t. I see a lie What is the real reason? There must be no sense of belonging to the devil.”
It was clear from the fact that they were not targeting human domestication.
If he was even a demon by nature, he would have already seen the ending.
Murciela drew an arc line.
“If you stay trapped with demons in eternity, you will surely be bored. As a prisoner, I will speak to you as a prison guard.”
truth. However, there couldn’t be a single reason like that.
Aiden opened his mouth.
“You are definitely interested in my plan. Doesn’t even the meager excuse have the premise of my success?”
Whether it was a friend or something, it was only possible if Iden locked up the demon.
“But, I don’t understand why you insist on being a devil.”
“It is as I said. Also, there must be more things you can do as a demon than as a human. Am I not Murciela?”
“You dodged my question asking if you would be together. How can I trust him and send him to the Devil’s Realm?”
“That’s because I can’t completely agree with your plan. There is one big problem. Can you be sure that Taekwang’s heart will not be broken even after eons of time? You’d say it’s possible, but I’m not sure.”
When Iden, exhausted, stops watching, the apocalypse strikes again.
The guy continued.
“You will need to resolve this error. You cannot carry everything alone.”
The demon stared straight at Iden.
“However, this Murciella supports your lofty convictions. I’ll find a way out. There must be another way.”
After thinking for a moment, Iden opened his mouth.
“What are you going to do with the responsibility for failure?”
“Petersarykin cannot reproach me. I made it that way.”
Murciella drew a strange smile.
“By the way, is Taekwang different from the rumors?”
Saya was obviously feeling strange.
The guy was talking.
“I heard you hate even the devil’s breath, but you’ve been talking to me for such a long time. Also, it looks like they are trying to save me somehow.”
The guy grinned.
“If it’s a mistake, I’m sorry.”
“It is an illusion.”
“I apologize.”
Aiden looked into Murciela’s soul. Time was running out now, so I had to make a decision.
Either send it to the underworld or tear it apart.
After thinking, I made up my mind. Where I turned my gaze, Saya was still standing like an ice field.
I thought my head would break from making a decision, but more troublesome things were waiting.
Iden was afraid of the future that was predestined.
He sighed and opened his mouth.
