Chapter 178
The end of everyday life (3)
[—however,]
[step… … ?]
The corners of his mouth went up, evil.
It was bizarre. The corners of his mouth, ripped up to his cheekbones, expressed exactly how the devil laughed.
[The target is not heaven.]
* * *
My heart beat is pounding. One word from him was enough to make my nervous heart tremble.
The ascended clown, the wriggling eyebrows, the creases in the shape of the eighth figure, and the twisted eyebrows.
Lust seemed so good to the point that I was offended by it.
[It’s not heaven, so is there a deserved one?]
I asked again, pretending to be calm.
I can’t show my true feelings to him.
If I show an agitated appearance, ‘the opportunity is at this time.’ It was clear that the lust he wanted to pierce mercilessly.
At my question, he cynically twisted the corner of his mouth. He even opened his mouth.
[There are plenty of suitable prey. But in the end, one of the goals of the Pandemonium now is to increase the number of worlds under its command and enrich our world.]
He really says it doesn’t matter. Lust, reclining in a chair, snapped her fingers for a moment.
[However, there is a prey that exposes its fangs to us. Isn’t there a need to prioritize other places?]
Sitting on the edge of the bed, I was silent. No, there was nothing else I could do now.
[Looks like some of the strongest on Earth have noticed our existence–]
Leaning back in his chair, he waved his hand in the air, and several sheets of paper appeared and were caught between his index and middle fingers.
[—It seems to be preparing for futile resistance. Isn’t it futile?]
Lust held out a hand-made tongs to me.
The boy’s twisted smile deepens.
A few sheets of paper staggered between the claws of my hands caught my eye.
It’s obvious, but you’re being guarded against… … .
Muttering to himself, he accepted the paper he held out.
The identity of the paper was a photograph.
Satellite image taken from high altitude.
I don’t know where he got it from or where he took it, but the background of the photo is a snowy field full of white snow.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the photo carefully.
Occasionally, some of them were out of focus due to the flurry of snow, but it wasn’t difficult to see what was going on.
Several trains run on the railroad in a snowfield full of white snow. A group of people unloading cargo from a train stopped at a station.
What I received was a picture like that.
In a way, it is a scene that can be called ordinary.
But in this situation, what lust passed on to me couldn’t have been that kind of useless thing.
Suddenly.
Really subconsciously, why does the word [Holy Apocalypse] come to mind in this situation?
Holy Apocalypse, Snowfield, Cargo, England, Pandemonium route changes.
A few keywords swirled around in my head.
In the meantime.
Suddenly, I saw the connection between words and words.
It seemed like they had nothing to do with each other, but in reality they were pulling each other with a small invisible link.
‘The Holy Apocalypse fought a decisive battle with Russia in Far East Siberia the other day.’
‘In the aftermath, Russia lost the frozen land in Siberia, east of the Ural Mountains.’.
‘Currently, Siberia is an empty land of Mujugongsan, without an owner.’
─The background in the photo is a snowy field, and there was something being transported by rail.
‘The Holy Apocalypse took artifacts from British museums and transported them to Siberia on an abandoned Trans-Siberian train… … ?’
With a ‘throb’, an electric current flows along the spine.
The premonition that I was going to be hit hit my whole body strongly.
“These damn guys—”
Why did the British government – seized by the Holy Apocalypse – react so frantically to Elizabeth’s return and Korea’s activities in the Maritime Province? … .
… … I could tell from this one photo.
A conditioned reflex behavior immediately sprung up.
‘Quickly.’ The molars were ground.
My fists were clenched tightly in anger.
[Oh-ho-?]
Lust made an expression of surprise at my reaction. It was subtle.
[…] … I felt it during my speech in the Corridor of the Seven Deadly Sins, but you… … ]
The guy stretches his tail.
I felt uneasy about him.
Basically, it was a friendly lust for me, but because of his personality, if only his own fun is guaranteed, he’s a guy who doesn’t know when, where, and how to stab him in the back.
What the hell is it? What else are you going to do!? Please look at me, even the information coming in now is the limit.
Do you think I intervened in this incident? Since you are from Earth, have you been to the incident where the French and British intervened not too long ago?
I tried screaming and crying, but in the end it was just what was happening in my mind.
There was no such thing as an outward expression.
It would be better for me to strike the head and let him know that I have nothing to do with this incident than to talk to him for a long time.
[I-.]
Thinking so, I opened my mouth.
[—These three… … .]
[…] … Are you truly for the devil?]
The words that came out of the boy’s mouth were out of the blue.
[…] … ?]
No, it was absurd because it was not enough of something out of the blue. So I couldn’t speak.
Whether I was stiff or not, lust continued to speak in a slightly sped up tone.
[As expected, I recognized you from your birth. That he is truly a person who will serve the devil.]
I was sitting on the edge of the bed at his words and almost slipped to the floor.
… … You never told me about my birth, and you never showed me?
Lust struck the armrest of the chair two or three times with the palm of his hand.
[I also didn’t like the current Demon Realm. It was purely for my interest that I came to the position of lust,]
The eyes of the guy who opened his mouth were shining fiercely.
[Because it wasn’t for the sake of following these weak guys.]
I don’t know what he was thinking, but at least one thing was certain.
[I am also very dissatisfied with this decision. damn guys… Being distracted by the prey in front of you, you can’t even see the enemy you really have to fight.]
It’s not the one that hurts me.
wait for a sec… … ?
The fact that lust is like this means that there are definitely other guys who are dissatisfied with this decision.
He swallowed the dry saliva that had built up in his mouth.
Even if the sky collapses, there is a hole through which it will rise.
Maybe I can convince them to reverse their decision.
First start… … .
I sat in my chair and watched lust scratching my forehead.
He clearly has no interest in the invasion of Earth.
I opened my mouth to lust.
[But, I have a question.]
At my word, his eyes rolled and turned toward me.
The guy is focused.
It felt as if I was trying to figure out the intention by deconstructing every single word I uttered.
[Do you have any questions here? The decision has already been made, and soon this planet will be in ruins. Ah—this life will end soon.]
I shook my head.
It was important from now on. Pay attention to the words you spit out.
Even if it was the starting point, I couldn’t help but worry because the fate of the earth depended on my three tongues.
My head was spinning faster than ever.
[No, our demon world does not tolerate resistance, so if the life of ‘this planet’ wants to oppose us, it is correct to strike the earth first as the agenda from the ‘Meeting of the Seven Sins Except Me’]
[So what is it?]
Lust’s face strangely changed.
The guy’s eyes looked as if he was scolding him for saying something so obvious.
[By the way, why isn’t the other world mentioned? There are many worlds comparable to ours. For example, I mentioned my speech, which you said was impressive. Heaven, do you think they will stay still?]
[It will be a flag-planting battle with Heaven. It’s going to come before they know it, it’s a year for those sluggish ones to move. Even if they collide, it will be after we have swallowed at least half of the Earth.]
Lust snorted, and I shook my head.
He crumpled his face. even lower your voice.
[lust.]
called the guy.
He frowned as if he didn’t like my behavior.
[What? bantling.]
[That answer, who confirmed it?]
The guy frowned at my question.
[Gluttony said confidently. Of course I don’t trust him. I just believe in our military’s speedy war, and that will be the same as any of the seven deadly sins.]
It was only then that I realized it when I saw the cynical smiling face of lust.
These guys were careless.
No, it was a position that had no choice but to be vigilant. Because the demon world was too strong.
but.
That’s why I have a gap to dig into.
Excessive external strength created their internal flaws.
[No, it’s not easy. too complacent Even if they say they can’t compare to us, they are definitely a world with ‘tinnitus’. In addition, in the past, like us, they were called with single-digit numbers.]
I continued talking and got up from my seat. This is because the head does not rotate quickly when sitting still.
[Even so, they cannot be our adversaries.]
The answering eyes of lust followed my movements.
However, a fleeting moment. I didn’t miss the shaking in his pupils.
At this point I felt the need to give him a hard shock. so that.
“Ha ha-! Even the Demon World has gone as far as it goes.”
I snorted. Some even killed him. The boy frowned at my actions.
[I know what you’re doing… … .]
With a strong shock, he’s attention was sucked in at once, so it’s time to get to the point.
“What are you doing? Do you know what you’re doing?!”
I took a deep breath.
“okay! You know better than anyone. I’m trying to save the demonic realm from now on!”
[…] … what?]
My words finally broke his composure.
My incomprehensible answer gave him the unknown, and the arrogant guy was shaken by the momentary unknown.
Now is your chance.
“You guys forgot something. No, there are things I overlooked because I know too well now.”
It must be now or not.
“The Demon Realm is strong. The Great Seven – Seven Deadly Sins – Under him are outstanding generals appointed with meritocracy, and again, there is a corps trained in real battles to the point that even counting under them is meaningless.”
Lust listened blankly to my words.
I thought it was impossible to see this guy’s expression unless it was through a screen… … .
I moved my feet around the room.
Following my movements, the eyes of lust began to turn round and round.
“If the only enemy we have to deal with is the Earth, the current decision won’t matter. This is the same even in the celestial world, and if the worlds face each other one-on-one, it will surely be our easy victory.”
I have to stop thinking and run away.
“But if the battlefield is Earth, the story is different. We must keep in mind that we are not the only ones who can intervene in this world!”
Lust seemed to have woken up to my angry voice and shook his head.
[That’s why I didn’t say that. We believe in the Legion, not each other.]
I tapped my forehead.
He hit so hard that the sound of ‘Clap’ reverberated throughout the room.
“under… … Still don’t understand? If so, let me explain.”
[…] … .]
“The Demon Realm is strong, to the point of overdoing it. On top of that, the battlefield is an earth where you can enter and exit any other world except ours. What does this mean?”
After thinking for a moment, the boy’s face turned pale.
[this… … . damn… … ?!]
Lust was the first to stir.
“Yes, the existence of one rank that is not overpowering creates an excuse for others to unite.”
I muttered to the agitated guy.
