Chapter 172 – Causal -1-
The moment I entered through the door, I realized something.
When I think back to the past, I have gained overwhelming power to the extent that I think that I am no different from a bug.
– Kudeudeuk.
When you clench your fists, the space contorts, and with a light foot, you create an explosion at once.
I really became a demon.
“Then what do you do?”
I raise my head and look around.
Just a quick glance conveys information in your head about what exists in this area.
The land, and the sea located at a little distance.
Primitive creatures.
That was all.
There were races similar to humans, but communication was impossible unless it was simple because there was no language.
They were too degenerate to be the human beings I remember them anymore.
“Not yet.”
Okay.
To be called degeneration, I have returned too much to the past.
These are all things I’ve realized over the past month.
Even killing time with the ability of an evil god that specializes in destroying something has gotten tired of it today.
“World Tree, Balladur, Aldern. What else?”
I think of what I have to do one day and write it down on the dirt floor.
“Ah, there is also Joanna’s revenge.”
I had a lot of time.
I was a little offended when Ilya said that I lowered my intelligence, but now that I think about it, it all had a reason.
If I had been smart, I would have had to go through all of these things in one day and wait for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
It was truly, terrifying.
Spring was short, and by the time summer arrived, primitive humans came to me.
Watching the guy who seemed to be the leader of the group holding out the raw meat of wild animals with his genitals covered with matting felt really strange.
“I can’t eat anything. Because you guys should eat it.”
No matter how sick I look, it hasn’t stopped bringing me food for months.
One day, when they threw away the raw fish that smelled like stink, they opened their eyes wide and started bringing the skin to offer.
Annoyed and bothered, I beat up all the predators living nearby and brought it to them, which opened my eyes even wider.
Feeling delighted by that reaction, I thought they wouldn’t bother me anymore, but the behavior of those guys who didn’t stop bringing the bones of animals was really different.
So fall passed, and winter came.
At this time, I was curious about what was in the deep sea, so I headed into the deep sea.
Of all the things I saw there, the only thing I remember was the monstrous anglerfish with its monstrous teeth, but it was a pretty good way to kill time.
The deep sea was that wide.
When one of them came ashore and greeted the beating sun, he realized that it was summer.
One thing that has changed is that all those savage bastards who brought something to offer to me, starting with meat, have all died.
It was the work of another primitive tribe.
I had nothing to do, so I leisurely chased the traces of the offspring for three days and nights, and as soon as I tore them apart, I felt an unknown sense of refreshment and that I was alive.
The cries and screams of those who were like insects compared to my strength sounded like a sweet song for some reason, and I didn’t want to stop.
The first murder didn’t make me feel any guilt.
Then, I realized why I am an evil god.
“Neritiel, Beatrice, Joanna, Yeren, Sophia Drin, Lia, and Hyeji.”
Drenched in blood, I desperately remember their names.
Instinctively, he forcibly pulls down the corners of his mouth, and vows not to be eaten by evil spirits.
Chewing the cud was a pretty good way to control myself when the urge to kill savages boiled over.
Ten years have passed like that.
“No, eleven years.”
I don’t know exactly because I stopped leaking the sun after three years.
The more I counted the years, the more slowly the time passed.
“How long will I have to wait before I can meet you guys?”
The causal law and Illya’s warning started to make a little sense.
Because this thorny road with no promise I am walking on right now was piercingly lonely and painful.
However, he had no intention of getting involved with uncivilized primitive humans.
If they are careless even a little, I might slaughter the weak ones.
It wasn’t guilt or pity.
It stemmed from the concern that some of them might disappear because of my intervention.
Perhaps one of them is a distant ancestor of Sophia Drinne.
Or maybe Joanna.
I didn’t want to get involved even if I heard that it wasn’t.
Compared to the years I have to deal with, it’s only ten years now, which is close to dust.
They die easily and are easily forgotten.
If I gave affection to such people, I would be ruined.
So let’s not show ourselves to anyone.
Hiding somewhere and enduring this time alone.
Ten years have passed, but fortunately, nothing has changed in my appearance.
Is this the effect of becoming an evil god, or is it the effect of the ‘eternal youth’ obtained as a reward by Lia?
It didn’t matter very much.
Every night, I recall the time when I shined the most.
The penis is intact, but there is no erection.
It’s easy to control it.
Time passed so easily when I was reminiscing the memories of those beautiful days, not reminiscing to discharge my sexual desire.
Today, and even thousands of years from now.
I will remember them and wait.
Because I promised to do so.
* * *
Will regret.
If only I could undo my decision that foolishly opened the door that day.
“…”
How long has it been
And, how much longer will I have to wait?
Even if you fall from a cliff to the ground, even if you set your whole body on fire or ingest extreme poison.
Even if I try to amplify the power of the evil spirit and hit my head, my body is healthy.
I didn’t die no matter what I did.
Realizing that, I live on the top of a snowy mountain today as if I were an inorganic body, staring endlessly at the sky like a corpse.
No, I endure because I cannot die.
-Kugung!
At that time, my heart beats with a strange sensation that I have never felt before.
Something has changed
It was an unusual thing that this wave was transmitted to me.
Perhaps…
“I might die.”
The words that came out of my mouth like a habit.
For hundreds or thousands of years, I endured only with the thought of wanting to die.
Let’s die
Go there right now and die.
At las.
To that, I forced myself to mutter like an idiot.
“Something to protect.”
That word complicates the mind that has become simple filled with only one desire.
“Neritiel, Beatrice, Joanna, Yeren, Sophia Drin, Lia, and Hyeji.”
Did not forget
While regretting opening the door, I did not forget a single moment.
When the sun went down, they drew one name on the snow with their fingers, and when the sun rose again, they wrote the next name on the newly accumulated snow.
“Should.”
After drawing out all the names, I engraved in my heart what I had to do.
“Pandemonium, Revenge, Lethe, World Tree, Evil Dragon, Holy Knight, Ed.”
Then, the less detached head started to roll quickly, and the determination spread throughout the body.
The evil spirit, who could never die, but desperately wanted death, was driven into a corner of his head and imprisoned.
Then, he crouches in the darkest corner and wakes up the hidden asshole.
“Kim Chang-mook.”
Frivolous and low intelligence.
However, the idiot who chose to walk the thorny path with his own will opens his eyes for them.
“Fuck.”
I get up and open my eyes.
He was almost devoured by an evil spirit.
The years of being caught up in a whirlwind of all sorts of negative emotions and standing still like a stone seemed like eternity.
“Success.”
But I decided to use it.
Because I was too weak an asshole to endure the years with sober mind.
Entrusting myself to the ego of the evil spirit, which soared higher the more I reflected on negative thoughts, I just hid.
So I succeeded in separating the self into two.
“Sir, no matter how much, four thousand years makes sense.”
As far as I remember counting the days in a state of suspended animation, exactly 4238 years.
4238 years have passed since I started seclusion in the snowy mountains.
This is a time I will never be able to afford.
It would still be a long time before I met Kim Chang-mook, the me of the past who would one day be thrown into this world.
Until then I won’t be able to keep my ego right.
Therefore,
“Please take good care of me in the future, evil god.”
I, who pushed my back to the evil god’s ego instead of enduring the eternity, headed down the snowy mountain for the first time in a long time.
* * *
It didn’t take long to find the source of the waves that were transmitted to me.
Could it have taken three days at most?
It was easily possible without awakening the ego of the evil spirit.
Even if I put my ego to sleep, this body was the evil spirit itself.
“This…”
What I found was a crack that exuded a unique energy while the space was distorted.
I knew what this aura was.
“It’s Maggie.”
The magic that I could feel from Yeren.
Even though Yer En’s voice and her appearance were blurry now, she clearly remembered the magic she spread.
I tried to recall what she once told me, but unfortunately failed.
However, no matter how you think about it, there is only one crack that emits demonic energy.
“Devildom.”
This rift was clearly the hometown of Yeren, who would one day be born.
