Chapter 994 – 994. Passage of Desire (1)
[Oh my. You have to be careful.]
“Yes.”
[I really must… Listen carefully to what other children say and never overdo it.]
“Yes. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
Into the dimensional passage created by Mediah, just before entering the demon world.
Verdandi repeated his request.
She is like a mother with a young son who has been released into the water.
Eunhyeon smiled bitterly at the goddess’ restless attitude.
Verdandi’s concerns were natural.
The demon world that Eunhyeon and her wives are trying to enter is a lawless zone where the power of the goddess cannot reach.
Of course, Verdandi could not interfere.
How could I not be worried about heading to such a place?
‘But still…’
She trusts her wives more than herself.
It was a strange feeling for Eunhyun.
[I don’t trust the child, but I can’t help but be worried…]
Verdandi sighed.
[I hope the witch child and other children will control the child better…]
Is it really possible for Eunhyun not to overdo it?
It was a sigh filled with worry.
“Do not worry too much. “I will bring you back here no matter what happens.”
“Hehe, that’s right! “We’re going together!”
If it weren’t for the ranting Illyana and her other wives, she would never have allowed Verdandi.
It was fortunate that there were people to accompany him rather than sending him off alone.
Moreover, if Illyana is among them, she could not be more reliable.
While her wives were speaking to reassure the goddess, who was sighing and listing her worries, Eunhyeon asked Riod:
“Please. “I don’t know how long it will take.”
Time passes differently in the Underworld and the Demon World.
Since they were literally independent dimensions that existed as completely different concepts, the way of the world was that they could not affect each other.
The current situation in which that principle is about to be broken is abnormal.
“I will definitely come back. Please hold on until then.”
It could be 1 hour, 1 day, 1 month, or 1 year.
Nevertheless, Eunhyeon vowed that she would definitely return here.
Her colleagues, who confirmed her promise, also nodded slightly.
“I will definitely endure.”
“So, do well Nina. “Are you worried about us now?”
Rather, it was Eun-hyeon and his wives who entered into a more dangerous situation.
However, I felt the absurdity of his words and actions that he was more worried about this side.
When Anies scolded him with a sour expression, Gerard and Alice also laughed and agreed with her words.
“Haha, brother. Don’t I really listen to what you say, brother? Leave this to us and come back safely!”
“Take care.”
“Joy. “You will have to hold the reins tightly so that inexperienced people don’t cause accidents.”
After listening to everyone else’s stories, including the snorting and scolding Gumiho, Eunhyeon narrowed her distance towards the black hole that appeared on the tree trunk of her black finger.
“Everyone, are you ready?”
At Eunhyeon’s words, the other wives gathered to his side.
Some people have a relaxed expression.
Someone else with a determined expression.
Someone else looked nervous.
But even so, he did not hesitate.
“Entering.”
Eunhyeon and her wives jumped into the black hole.

The place called the Demon World was an unfamiliar place to humans.
It is the same for Eunhyeon.
Because it was a place I had never been to, and a place where I couldn’t experience anything.
Although she was originally said to be an apostle of the goddess, it was impossible for Eunhyeon, who was within the realm of humans, to be able to go to a place called the Demon World that exists in another dimension.
Even if you were a god, there was no way that you could see, hear, and feel something you had never been to.
However, that did not mean that he made the choice to enter the demon world without any countermeasures.
“It’s not like there’s no way.”
Eunhyeon somehow found a way.
She thought of the demons she had encountered on Earth, and compiled all their words, actions, and characteristics.
Although there were enormous differences in the abilities, powers, and appearances of each demon, we listed the common characteristics they had and made guesses based on that.
After continuing to think and immerse herself in research, she synthesized Illyana’s opinions and concluded a prediction that was close to certainty.
Horseradish egg.
It is a world where physical bodies like humans do not exist.
The reason Eunhyeon realized this was because of the succubus power that Lily could use.
The biggest characteristic of a succubus is that it has the ability to control minds and brainwash and manipulate the minds of humans.
However, in addition to that, there were special abilities that only succubi could use.
It was possible to create one’s own world, the ‘world of dreams’, and to manipulate that dream.
Remembering that he could manipulate the mental body, the human soul and emotions at will, and absorb the energy contained within them, Eunhyeon speculated about the dimension called the Demon World.
‘A huge dream world.’
If the ‘dream world’ that succubi can create is a virtual world created based on the minds, memories, and emotions of targeted humans, the ‘Demon World’ is a gigantic dream world created based on the malice of tens of thousands of demons. It was.
It was a conclusion reached after thinking about the fact that the starting point of the birth of demons in the first place was the background of countless evil intentions created over a long period of time.
In other words, the demon world that Eun-hyeon and her wives are currently heading to is a specific place that cannot be entered with a human body, but only with a spiritual body.
Eun-hyeon and her wives entered the dimension of a gigantic spirit embodied by the evil intentions of demons.

“Son. “I have to go to school.”
“… ?”
When I came to my senses, Eunhyeon was home.
“House?”
What do you mean by home?
Could this be the home of someone who lived on Earth a long, long time ago?
Or does it refer to a house where people live a happy life with their wives?
The worries didn’t last long.
Because she was so familiar with the female voice calling her.
It was a voice I missed so much now.
“… Mom?”
“Huh? “Why are you calling me?”
The woman who answered the confused Eun-hyeon’s call with a grin on her face was once his mother, whom he missed so much and couldn’t help but feel guilty about.
“Is the lecture time okay? “Let’s eat quickly and go to school.”
“Ah oh…”
Eunhyeon realized the situation late.
For a moment, he wondered if all the experiences and memories he had experienced, the goddesses and wives who loved him, were not nonsense stories like those in novels or animations.
If everything was just a delusion and a ridiculous thing, and in fact he was living a happy daily life here.
So how sweet is this reality?
[Love you.]
“… “That can’t be possible.”
It didn’t take long to realize that this place was a dream.
It felt like I could hear my wives’ voices in my head.
Sometimes this dream was something that Eunhyeon had longed for so much.
Suddenly, a devil appeared on Earth, and as a result, her mother was eaten by the devil and turned into a monster.
There was no way something like that, such a disaster, could happen to me.
At that time, I had to deny it.
Because I couldn’t have endured it otherwise.
If she had not opened her ‘heart’s eye’ and had not learned the harmony and immobility of the mind.
If not for the help of her wives.
The temptation of this sweet dream may have quickly eaten away at his soul.
She realized that this place was not reality, but the embodiment of a wish she had buried deep in her heart, saying it was now an unattainable dream.
Eunhyeon woke up from her daze and got up from the chair at her table.
“Mom.”
“Son?”
“Sorry.”
Eunhyeon hugged Eun Yeonhwa, who was confused when she saw herself suddenly getting up from her seat.
“Sorry. “I’m truly sorry.”
All I could do was apologize.
Even if it was a dream, even if it wasn’t a terrible dream where he had to kill his own mother.
Having to deny his mother three times.
It hurts like my chest was being stabbed.
But still.
“I’m really sorry…”
Because this was not the reality he had to live in.
Because it is no longer his wish.
Since he was aware of reality, he had to deny it.
The living room in the ordinary house surrounding Eunhyeon became distorted.
It’s like dissolving paint into transparent water.
As if reminiscent of clouds spreading in the water, the colors of a world full of warmth and comfort return to nothingness.
Eunhyeon woke up from her dream and awakened her consciousness.
◆ ◆ ◆
The color of nothingness, where nothing existed, changed.
As soon as he regained consciousness and came to his senses, Eunhyeon looked around him.
A dark red sky and a red moon reminiscent of blood.
The land and plants have lost their vitality as if all the moisture has been sucked out.
No matter how you look at it, it is not an area where humans can live.
Eunhyeon immediately realized where he had arrived.
“This place…”
Devildom.
He immediately checked his physical condition.
“It’s a strange feeling.”
It was similar to when he entered his dream previously through Lily’s power.
Although it was a state composed of only the soul and mental body, it was similar to the sensation of a normal physical body, but it was not completely the same.
Specifically, perhaps because there was no body, there was no need to consume the calories necessary for physical activity.
In other words, although I felt mental fatigue here, there was no physical fatigue or hunger.
There was no other way to describe it than that it was awkward.
In any case, he was convinced that he had entered the demon world in a perfect spiritual state.
“Surely… This environment… “It must be dangerous.”
I felt like the magic power that was thick throughout the entire Demon World was weighing down my soul.
He may be different because he has the status of a ‘semi-god’ and is composed of divine power, but ordinary humans are different.
If demonization progresses throughout the underworld and this environment begins to take root, all life in the human body will be sucked out, and the human soul will be crushed by this magical power and disappear without a trace.
Before that happened, the only ending was to be toyed with by demons and meet the end.
This was the reason why Eunhyeon brought only his wives to the demon world, excluding other expedition members.
By forming a relationship with Eunhyeon, they will be able to indirectly protect their souls through divine power.
Eunhyeon stood up.
The dry earth was very rough and cracked, as if all the nutrients had been sucked out of it.
“For now…”
As Eunhyeon entered the demon world, she used her divine power to identify the locations of her scattered wives.
She has located the location of her wife, who is currently closest to this place.
The location she found was high in the sky.
Eunhyeon inadvertently looked up at the sky.
The fact that it was flying towards this direction at such a high speed seemed to show how urgent it was.
“Lily?”
“Master!”
As if she had no intention of hiding that she was a devil, she proudly flapped her black wings like a bat and flew towards Eunhyeon.
Lily landed, desperately calling out to Eunhyun.
As soon as she caught her body as she descended and landed, Lily was held in Eunhyeon’s arms.
“Haha…”
“Lily?”
Eunhyeon tilted her head as she felt that Lily’s condition, which she held in her arms, was different from her usual condition.
She was breathing hard and panting, and hugged Eunhyeon’s body tightly, letting out her hot and dirty breath.
Lily’s breath passed by my ear.
She was confused and tried to put her down to calm her down, but Lily held Eunhyun tighter as if she was rejecting it.
It was not an illusion that she felt as if she was wooing him with her whole body, as if she did not want to separate even a little, as she pressed her whole body against his own chest.
Lily, who was letting out her hot breath, whispered anxiously into Eunhyeon’s ear.
“Master. I. I… My body feels strange…”
