Chapter 838 – Day 97 – The Princess Meets Someone She Should Not Meet.
Streets filled with colorful lights have always had the power to deceive countless people.
The skyscrapers, the height of which was meaningless to measure, stood like trees filling the forest, and the demons walking along the crowded streets glanced at the princess with her strange eyes.
“Princess, this is a very dangerous plan.”
“Of course, as you said, I also believe that it is very dangerous for an earthly person to wander around the center of the Demon World.”
“I intend to follow wherever the princess goes, but right now I feel like I want to stop her.”
Haha! Ceres is thinking of stopping me!”
She was a princess who smiled cheerfully, but she was not at ease on the inside.
To be honest, her plan was so crazy that even she herself thought it was crazy.
She is thinking of meeting Eve Terra, the mother of the Demon World! She felt safer walking barefoot into the mouth of a giant man-eating plant.
“Look at that. What kind of clothes are you wearing like that?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you looked at it? It looks like it’s an old world research group?”
“Wow! Is there anyone still joins that old-fashioned club?”
While listening to the small voices coming from here and there, the princess calmly moved her legs and headed towards the building where Eve Terra, the mother of the Demon World, lived.
“Ceres, did she ever walk these streets when she was young?”
“Yes?”
In this serious situation, she suddenly heard an old story. Ceres was embarrassed, but she thought it might make sense.
“Yes, she walked down this road with her mother when she was young.”
“Were there such splendid skyscrapers back then?”
“There were things that were so tall and splendid that they could not be compared to the tower that reached the moon. At that time, there was a lot of leeway in the power situation of the Demon World.”
“Oh, then, were the colorful electronic signs twinkling?”
“Yes, I was able to see very flashy advertisements. At that time, I fantasized that if I returned to earth, I would be able to obtain those flashy things.”
The princess smiled at the story being told.
“I am. I want to gift what Ceres dreamed of to the demons full of this underground.”
“The princess.”
“I don’t know exactly what Eve Terra was thinking about doing this terrible thing called the Great Purification Project, but…”
The princess, who was about to talk, stopped when she arrived at what looked like a huge, white, beautiful palace.
“This is an amazingly white and impressive palace.”
“My mother loved staying here.”
“Then it’s about time for her.”
The princess takes a long breath. When Ceres looked around, very nervous, it was as expected.
“To the god of bugs! How dare you appear here!”
With a loud shout, demons dressed in pitch black clothes appear from all directions.
They had weapons in their hands. They were holding guns that were better and more elaborate than those the princess knew. They quickly formed a formation with their guns pointed at the princess and Ceres.
The princess, who was suddenly surrounded, very slowly raised her hands up.
“The princess.”
“Let’s go ahead with the plan. After all, isn’t she your mother?”
“Haona…”
Ceres, who had a very difficult time recalling good memories with her mother, looked anxious, but couldn’t help but put her hands up after her princess.
“Not Vergil. After betraying her mother, she came back with that thick mug.”
Ceres, who was covering his left eye with an eye patch, only took a deep breath and did not respond.
“Hmph, acting like it’s not worth answering.”
The demon wearing an eye patch raised his right hand. They pointed their guns at a more dangerous place, as if they had no intention of showing the princess and Ceres to their ‘mother’.
“For someone who calls me the god of bugs, Pandemonium’s hospitality to guests is poor.”
“Customer? You’re talking nonsense.”
“I came here with the intention of having a long chat with Eve Terra, the being you call mother. Isn’t it true that we treat guests poorly since she is pointing a gun at us?”
The demon wearing an eyepatch laughs at the princess’s words, saying that she is not afraid of guns just because she is relaxed.
“It seems you are so mentally driven that you spout the nonsense of a madman. God of bugs.”
“Eve Terra! Can’t you see that your old friend has come here!”
The princess screamed loudly? Unfortunately, most of the demons standing here did not know the real name of Eve Terra, the mother of the demon world.
Therefore, no matter how loudly the princess called her name, it was nothing more than a madman’s nonsense. What they thought funny was nothing more than the luminescence of trash from the earth that would soon be burned by God’s wrath.
“Eve Terra! If you are thinking of staying in hiding, stop! Unlike the countless people who fill this place, I am someone who understands exactly what you want to do!”
It may not be reachable.
Still, the princess shouted loudly, hoping to reach it.
It was natural that if Ceres could not persuade Eve Terra, there would only be destruction, even if Ceres did not have to show her future.
“There is a limit to listening to nonsense. Ha, it looks like you are on the side of that crazy woman.”
Ceres shook her head.
“Helson, things are going to happen that you won’t even understand.”
“Well, if our lady dies here, something like that won’t happen again…”
The woman named Helson, a demon wearing an eye patch, raises her hand as if laughing and stops.
She looked very puzzled and put her hand to her right ear and pressed it.
“Yes, Mother? Yes? But I will kill you as soon as I find you… Ah, yes! I understand! Your will is always right!”
Helson quickly stood up and saluted where her ‘mother’ was and looked at the princess.
“God of insects, my lady!”
The princess knew better than anyone else what would happen from now on.
“Mother says she will meet you in person. Know that it is an honor!”
* * *
“White… House? Isn’t it really a simple name because it’s monotonous?”
“It’s noisy. Don’t talk about unnecessary things and follow me quietly.”
Helson, a demon wearing an eye patch, spoke to the princess very bluntly, then shook her hand and walked in front of her.
The princess walked very carefully down a hallway with white, immaculate wallpaper and marble that was visible from all directions. It was a very familiar scene to Ceres since she was young, but it was a little different for the princess.
‘As expected, as I thought, there is not much difference between demons and humans. The appearance has changed due to circumstances, but the emotions are the same, aren’t they?’
Although it wasn’t as good as the imperial palace, the princess was able to come to a good conclusion after calmly examining the room with its beautiful decorations and large carpets.
‘The thing to worry about is that Eve Terra is diligently rubbing the remains of the old god in the basement of this white palace…’
She was a princess who couldn’t easily guess how much research she had done and how well she could use that power.
But her task had been decided from the beginning, so she walked to her spacious hall without the slightest fear, admiring her hips swaying from side to side.
“I guess I can wait here.”
“Don’t do anything foolish and wait patiently. Your mother will be home soon.”
Helson clicked her tongue with a scowl and tilted her head slightly to the right.
“… Yes, as much as possible.”
The princess looked at her whispering in a very low voice and saw her Ceres standing next to her.
“Ceres.”
The princess stretched out her hand and held Ceres’ hand, which was shaking slightly.
The princess does not know exactly what the relationship between Eve Terra and Ceres is.
The person I saw in the past was just a very, very small girl, and it wasn’t a relationship that felt affectionate.
Wasn’t it Eve Terra who carved an indelible curse on the back of her beloved and only daughter?
“Don’t worry. This isn’t the first time you’ve talked to your mother.”
The princess’s warm words and her warm hands gave Ceres, who was strangely shaking, a sense of comfort.
Without realizing it, the corners of her mouth rose, Ceres looked at the princess and nodded her head. There was no need for the two to have any more difficult conversations.
“Mother is coming. Don’t do anything stupid and stay still.”
“Shall I do such a thing to the mother of Ceres?”
The princess snorted and swallowed her saliva as she heard the sound of her heels coming from very far away.
Even if she had met her through time travel, the princess could not imagine what Eve Terra was like now.
What on earth is Eve Terra like, having gone through countless times and waves of time that cannot be fully explained by such clichés?
─Kkii Iik
What appeared after opening the wooden door that seemed like it would never be opened were demon soldiers armed similar to Helson.
It wasn’t until they hurried out and opened the door that Eve Terra, the ‘Mother of the Demon World’, revealed her majestic appearance.
“This is…”
Togak, ttogak.
The mother of the Demon World, who appeared with the strange sound of heels, was a beautiful woman with skin that was so pale that it had become cold.
Wearing a pure white dress, horns growing dangerously on her head, almost like a symbol of a demon, and her arms and legs had a strength that human skin could never have.
Her eyes were so fierce that when her gaze met her, Ceres instinctively bit her lip and turned her head.
“On the topic of trash crawling from the surface of the earth.”
Eve Terra’s voice, which she heard for the first time in a long time, was surprisingly similar to the old one, but her emotions were frighteningly dry.
“Why do you know my name?”
Eve Terra does not know the princess.
As Ceres warned, time travel was not something that could change the present.
