Chapter 993 – 993. The Birth of Evil (3)
“I plan on going in there. No. “I have to go in.”
“… “Are you serious?”
Riod frowned.
He thought his words and actions made no sense.
Going into that black hole literally means heading to the demon world.
It was no different from trying to step into a stronghold infested with demons.
Considering that demons are limited in their abilities in this underworld, it also means that they can demonstrate their full power in the demon world, which is their home base.
It is bound to be an unfavorable situation in many ways.
“Hey, did you turn? “The method of suicide is also really novel?”
Of course, there were many people other than Riod who denied his ideas.
Eunhyeon said with a wry smile.
“… Listen. “It’s not like I’m going in alone without any plans or thoughts.”
“… Surely, we have to go in there too?”
Anyes asked with a disgusted expression.
I thought that having to enter the demon world on my own was not a good idea, no matter how much it was Eunhyeon’s opinion.
“No. The person who will go in there…”
“You mean to take us with you?”
Illyana, who appeared through teleportation, intruded into the conversation.
Illyana and Lily appeared from the magic circle that appeared in the air and landed lightly on the ground.
“Are you finished there?”
“Huh.”
“… Are you okay?”
Eunhyeon asked worriedly.
She knew with whom she had been fighting a fierce battle on her behalf.
That’s why he couldn’t help but ask.
Illyana answered Eunhyeon’s concerns with her wry smile.
“It took some effort, but it still went as planned.”
This means that a satisfactory result has been achieved.
That meant that she had already dealt with another Illyana that was targeting Eunhyeon.
“… “Will you follow me?”
“Of course.”
Even if the place he was going to was a hell full of demons, Illyana did not hesitate in her answer.
Her desire to be with him for the rest of her life was not weak enough to send him alone like this.
Rather, Illyana was glad of Eunhyeon’s words that encouraged her to join her.
“If you had told me to wait here, I would have broken all your limbs to stop you from going.”
“I’m scared because it seems like I’m speaking from the truth, so please look at me…” .”
“Ma’am, are you serious?”
“Illyana, are you serious?”
“Huh. “You’re serious.”
The wives all nodded and agreed.
Illyana meant it literally.
Her fortune in the world was not very important to her.
It didn’t matter whether demons poured out of that black hole or what happened to this world.
When Illyana made the choice to become a descendant of her Eunhyeon by gaining some of her power through a deal with her goddess, she wanted to be with him forever.
He was just struggling hard for this world, but it didn’t matter much to him.
“Hmm. Anyway.”
Eunhyeon cleared her throat to brighten the mood and change the topic again.
“There was me, Illyana, Eleanoa, Erin, Master… “Lily will go in with you.”
The only people there were Eunhyeon and his wives.
One thing that was surprising was that Lily was included in this member.
“Huh? “Lily, too?”
It was natural that Erin was confused as it seemed completely unexpected.
Because Lily had virtually no fighting ability of any kind.
As a demon, she is said to have inherited half of the power of a succubus, but even so, she did not have specialized fighting skills and had no experience, so Lily was not suitable for the party at all.
“I have a special role to ask Lily.”
This was a hidden card that Eunhyun and Illyana found while researching Lily’s power.
“Huh. I see! Okay!”
After hearing Eunhyeon’s explanation, Erin didn’t have many doubts.
There must be some reason, she was sure.
From the beginning, Erin never had any doubts about Eunhyeon’s actions and words.
If anything, she was glad that Lily was joining her.
“Sister! Believe me! I will protect you!”
“Huh. “I feel reassured.”
Lily pounded her own chest and burst out laughing at Erin’s rant.
“… Well, it looks like you and Ilia have put their heads together and come up with a plan of their own, so I’m not going to stop you too much… “Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
Ahead of Eunhyeon and his wives’ declaration of entering the demon world, Anies scratched his head and expressed concern.
Is it really okay to send them alone to the demon world full of demons?
“Are you okay.”
Rather, Illyana answered before Eunhyun, expressing her confidence.
“Hmm, okay. I get it.”
For some reason, I was more relieved by her statement confirming Illyana’s victory than when he said it.
Finally, Anyes, who had shrugged his shoulders, nodded his head and stepped back.
As if replacing him, Riod asked Eunhyeon.
“Then what should we do from now on?”
“Until we go to the Demon World, kill Medea, and come out, stop the demons pouring out of that hole.”
The black hole created by Mediah’s power is a passageway between the Demon World and the Underworld.
Of course, it was two-way traffic, not one-way traffic.
Just as it means that you can enter the demon world from this side, it also means that demons can come over to this side from the demon world.
Of course, people were needed to stop the demons coming from this underworld as well.
“Right. Understood.”
Riod partially understood his intention and why it was necessary to share power.
It wasn’t something I hadn’t thought about following Eunhyeon into the demon world to help her.
However, if he was planning a strategy for the battle in the demon world and he was not needed there, there was no need for him to go out of his way.
It was just as important to stay here and block the demons as he requested.
The most important thing is that Eunhyeon specified the condition, ‘Until you enter the demon world and come out after achieving your purpose.’
Eunhyeon had no intention of letting it end like this.
He had no intention of using his life in vain or ending his life in a ridiculous way.
He was clearly thinking about what would happen after this fierce battle was over.
Isn’t this a very satisfying result, different from before?
“Be sure to come back.”
“Of course. “I need to go home and see his daughter’s face.”
Riod burst into laughter after hearing the answer, unsure whether it was serious or a joke.
“Until we return, no one dies.”
“Ugh, just worry about yourself and your wives.”
No, Es had a displeased expression on her face and waved her hand as if telling her to go quickly.
◆ ◆ ◆
She has been waiting for a very long time.
Since Medea flowed into the demon world, she couldn’t estimate how much time had passed.
A year or 10 years would seem ridiculous.
So long that even counting becomes meaningless.
She was killed by Eunhyeon’s sword, discarding her body through the process.
Her ‘death’ was erased from her own soul.
As she slaughtered tens of billions of people, she accumulated enormous karma and rose to the rank of a transcendent.
She listened to the screams filled with pain of the people she slaughtered, enjoyed it, and took over their bodies and souls, playing with them even after death.
They did not simply slaughter lives and souls, but even played with them as toys.
Why?
Why did she have to kill them?
Why was that action so enjoyable?
She may also have had something called a ‘starting point’.
For the first time, I had to kill and manipulate human beings, their lives, and their souls.
That ‘starting point’.
But Medea had no recollection of the starting point at any point.
Why did she slaughter humans and play with their corpses and souls?
Even though she tried to recall her memories again, she couldn’t remember.
“I guess it was a memory that didn’t matter no matter what happened.”
Originally, the soul was defined by Medea as being similar to a ‘vessel’ that contained the emotions and memories of her owner.
The shape of a vessel is naturally determined, and the emotions and memories that can be contained within it also have a limit to the total amount.
Therefore, as a long time passes, new emotions and memories fill the bowl, and the emotions and memories originally contained in the bowl are bound to overflow.
Perhaps her own ‘starting point’, which Medea had forgotten, was probably a good memory that overflowed from the container of her memories and emotions accumulated over a long period of time.
In Mediah, the severity was severe.
It was beyond the average human lifespan, and the container, which had a limited capacity, could not contain all the memories and emotions and overflowed.
Moreover, the vessel that supported her soul became damaged over time.
The wear and tear of the soul experienced by immortals was as inevitable as the lifespan that all living beings born into the world inevitably have.
As time passes, the soul vessel gradually wears out, and the memories and emotions contained within it cannot withstand its durability and more and more overflow out of the vessel.
It was the same even after flowing into this demon world.
The Queen, who had eliminated ‘death’ from her own soul, was an insignificant being when she first entered this demon world, but she began hunting down demons one by one.
Even Medea herself couldn’t explain why it was like that.
She just had to do it because her own instincts were screaming at her.
The object of her inclination to slaughter humans and take pleasure in ravaging their corpses and souls has now turned into a demon.
Just as she did with humans, Medea hunted demons in the demon world.
She ravaged them, either running away in the face of an enemy she could not bear, or hunting down and subduing one demon after another as they begged for her life.
Before I knew it, the army of the dead created by Mediah began to quickly dominate the demon world.
At some point, her demons started calling her her ‘demon lord.’
King of all demons.
Befitting her title, Medea, with her overwhelming power, had no choice but to acknowledge her presence.
“It’s not fun.”
This was Medea’s sentiment when she finally defeated all the demons in the demon world and there were no more demons left to hunt.
I could no longer feel interest in the demons who, rather than resisting and struggling to the end, acknowledged the power of the demon king and showed an attitude of submission and worship.
In the demon world, where the law of the fittest and the hierarchy of power were deeply ingrained in the soul, it was natural that Medea, who had subjugated all demons, was recognized as the queen of demons.
But still, Medea felt bored.
As time passed, her memories and emotions contained in the vessel of her soul continued to overflow, and she was filled with things that were extremely boring.
“I can’t wait to see you. “Hyuna.”
In Medea’s increasingly fading memories, she recalled Eunhyeon’s face.
His face still came to mind vividly, bringing a smile to her otherwise bored face.
The sight of him struggling to the end and swinging his sword at himself.
Those eyes that burn with intense murderous intent.
He so desperately wanted to see a man with such strong emotions that would shake his soul, which was full of boredom.
That was all.
He is a being that sends a chilling murderous intent towards him.
A man who will make his own heart beat wildly.
This feeling that makes my heart, which was so quiet that I thought it might have stopped, start pounding again.
It must be ‘love’.
So I couldn’t wait to see it.
Before I forget him.
Before filling the soul vessel with boring and useless emotions and memories.
“I want to engrave your ‘love’ and memories for me into my soul.”
Medea felt it.
She knew that he was coming to the demon world where she was through the ‘invitation’ she had made.
To kill yourself.
To make love to yourself.
Medea smiled ecstatically as she recalled once again the ‘love’ he had sent her in her fading memories.
Just thinking about it gives her chills and her heart starts pounding.
I couldn’t wait to see him.
I wanted to accept his love.
“Come on. I’ll be waiting. My love.”
Absolute evil awaited her own adversary, with a face reminiscent of her beloved lover.
