187 – The Ordeal
Lucifer was waiting for his death, stunned by the bizarre spectacle that was unfolding in front of his eyes.
Being tortured was a given, and there was the possibility of keeping him alive so he wouldn’t accept death, but Lucifer wasn’t too concerned.
The difference in status between Lucifer and Lian is the difference between heaven and earth when considering each person’s best condition and environment.
Even though the level dropped significantly in the underworld, there was an unbridgeable gap between Lian and Lucifer, and there was no way there was a tool that could prevent his suicide.
So, what Lian was trying to do was completely incomprehensible to Lucifer.
“right. You can make it like this.”
“Lend the bonfire to Hestia. Since the torch is also a flame, it would not be possible to play a role similar to sunlight.”
“Your divine power? I do not need.”
Seeing Lian talking into the air, it seemed like she was talking to the gods, but is she consulting with the gods to torture herself?
If that’s the case, it’s shorter than I thought, but a lot of pain will be waiting for me.
“done.”
After saying that, a small piece of fruit fell from Rian’s hand.
That… Is it pomegranate?
Surprised by the fruit that suddenly popped out, Lucifer tilted his head at the fact that the fruit was nothing else but a pomegranate.
I’ve never heard of pomegranates being poisonous, and I don’t remember seeing any other plants that look like pomegranates.
Lian took a piece of pomegranate and handed it to Lucifer as if he would not give him time to think.
Without saying anything, he just holds out a pomegranate.
Are you choosing yourself?
Lucifer thought for a moment and then snatched the pomegranate from Lian’s hand.
“Give it up. If you’re going to do it, I’ll end it with my own hands.”
As I grabbed the pomegranate with my trembling heart, I bit into the pomegranate, and the slightly sour juice burst out.
Well, well… .
Lucifer, who had eaten a mouthful of pomegranate, was nervous about what would happen as he chewed his mouthful of pomegranate, but nothing came back.
“?”
Is nothing really happening?
Lucifer was holding a pomegranate in one hand and waiting to see what the hell was going on, so Lian lowered his head and opened his mouth cautiously.
“Have you eaten?”
“But what the hell… ?!”

Just as he is about to ask what it is, his vision reverses in an instant and Lian’s figure is blurred.
It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary either… .
That’s how Lucifer’s thinking stopped… The place to open your eyes again was decided.
*****
[Pomegranate, the image of Lian Primal, bathed in the sunlight by using the torch and imbued with the essence of Hades]
Pomegranate made by temporarily severing the ties with death by the power of Hades from a seedling of a pomegranate tree, originally grown by eating plenty of the divine power of the gods, and transplanting the pomegranate tree that had undergone photosynthesis through sacred fire into the soil brought from Lian Primal’s image. no see.
*If you eat this pomegranate only with your own will, your soul will be bound to the image of Lian Primal.
* Temporarily deletes the holy power of the eaten target.
*The liberation of the soul sealed in the image is impossible without Lian Primal’s permission.
In fact, it’s an ability that only a foolish goddess like Lucifer could have.
No one even offered to give it to me. I just quietly lifted the pomegranate.
It’s no different from being caught in a trap by just eating at will.
[‘Hestia’ asks if it’s right to call that kind of thing.]
“Exactly.”
If you use a little radical word, it’s no different from an idiot.
I was vaguely trying to take care of my conscience, but I was trapped in my image, and to be honest, I think I know why I was dumped.
There is no such thing as a squeak.
It’s almost the same level as Prin in the past.
“For me, I wish the remaining three goddesses would be defeated as easily as this, but… Couldn’t that be?”
[‘Hestia’ says that.]
I thought it would be like that at the point where the goddess of play gave off a spunky feeling, but I wonder if the goddess of mercy would be like that too… .
[If ‘I didn’t want to remain as a virgin’ is Neiros, then he says there’s no need to worry.]
[‘Hestia’ nods her head saying that’s right.]
I guess not.
At least, as I was looking around, feeling relieved, I heard familiar footsteps from far away, and at the same time, a human figure flew towards me.
“Liaaan!!!!!”
Neros, his jet-black hair breathing heavily, his golden eyes wide open, scrutinized my body thoroughly and chattered nonstop.
“Are you hurt anywhere? Or somewhere strange? You didn’t infiltrate the psyche, did you? it’s okay right? If yes, answer me!!”
“… Let’s calm down first.”
I stroked the worried Neros’ head.
Actually, it’s not that Neros is worried about me, it’s true that I should be worried about Neros, but he’s not a man who can’t get along enough to say such a thing in this situation.
“Are you really okay?! Really??”
“Yeah, are you okay?”
When I opened my arms to show that I was safe, Neros sighed deeply as if he was relieved after examining my body thoroughly.
I would have worried about the country too.
A goddess whose opponent is no one else. It was also because he was a guy who was armed enough to be called the King of Spirits.
By the time Neros had calmed down, Rain and Minel appeared, breathing heavily, and Ariane, Prin, and Xenovia… and to Ceres.
“Wow, there are so many faces that are hard to see at once.”
Realizing that Ceres was there, Zenobia and Prin urgently tried to hide it, but if they had been able to hide it that much, they would have hidden it right away.
“… Let’s talk about Ceres later.”
Before that, there’s something we need to talk about over there.
“is not it? Rachel.”
“Yes, it is.”
Responding to my words, Rachel bowed her head in front of me and first apologized and then brought out the baby.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to harm you… It became as if I had left such a difficult task to you.”
“Are you talking about Lucifer?”
“… yes.”
Rachel nodded with a bitter expression and said nothing after that.
It seemed that he vaguely knew that I had killed Lucifer and that he had gained divine power, but perhaps he had read my thoughts, he just lowered his head once more and quietly stepped back.
But Lucifer isn’t dead.
[Quaaa!!!!!!]
Right now, in my image, I am just dancing a beautiful tap dance like a warm flame.
Maybe it hurts more because it’s a pure white flame, maybe it’s because even if it oxidizes like a heap of ashes, it’s because the soul is bound by images. Even if the body collapses, the soul creates a replacement for the body and burns again in flames.
Thanks to the elevation, I was able to explain in detail what happened in the image, but it’s a little bit of a cruel story that I’m being tortured in front of a kid who is trying so hard to hide his emotions.
[help me!! Please save me!!!!]
I decided to leave it as a fact that only I know quietly.
Turning off my mind from the image and noticing that everyone was safe, I went to my room and told everyone to disperse, telling me to rest, but…
“what are you doing. Aren’t you going?”
Everyone stood in front of me and didn’t move.
It doesn’t leave in front of me as if it’s a mess.
What was left to do?
“… Lian.”
“what’s the matter?”
Neros, who stood at the front, approached me cautiously.
By the time the doubts start to amplify at the careful steps that remind you of the first night.
“I want to be strong too.”
Neros stared at me and expressed his will.
I want to be strong. He told me the greed that anyone living in a world like this would have, even if they weren’t unmanned.
“… The reason is?”
“Only Lian has become stronger.”
Everyone didn’t show it, but did they notice that the rank had gone up?
It was difficult to be honest in an unexpected situation.
I don’t know if this became stronger with my own power, but this time it was possible because I borrowed quite a bit of the power of the gods.
A method only possible for me with a system that divides the ranks.
Even if I want to teach you this, I can’t teach you.
[‘I want to sleep with all women’ tells you that it’s possible.]
“really?!”
Everyone was surprised by my sudden reaction, but from my point of view, I asked the gods again about a much more important fact.
“Is it possible to share rank with people like Neros and Rain?”
[‘I want to cut my husband’s d*ck’ says it’s impossible to do it as simply as you do.]
[‘I hate NTR!!!!’ I warn you that if you want to share their status, you will need to go through at least an ordeal worthy of it.]
I answered with a smile at the words of the gods.
“If that’s the case, no problem.”
I had a guarantee that my girls wouldn’t be easily broken, so I told the other kids the story of the gods.
“Of course you do.”
“Me too.”
“I agree with the horse next to me.”
Everyone wanted to be tried.
