28 Visit 2 Diablo

POV: Autumn.

「Oh, so you do recognize me! Well, it doesn't matter. It's not like you'll be able to injure me with such an attack anyway.」

「Thank you for your forgiveness, Holy One!」

「Ugh...stop calling me Holy One, just call me Autumn. I have a name.」

「How could this lowly being dare to speak the Holy One's name?」

「...Forget it.」

When someone acts like this, it's not worth it to argue with them.

It's extremely annoying, yes.

Especially because I only came to see how everything was going, and not to be worshipped by a devil.

Who in their right mind, would willingly be worshipped by a devil?

Devil's are the incarnation of all evil, aren't they?

At least most people think this way.

Not for me though.

Humans are probably more like devils than devils themselves.

At least in my opinion.

I'm not sure what you think, but that's what I think.

Humans are like devils.

We take, and take, and take, and take.

We never give back what has already been taken.

Well, enough about humans.

「Your appearance has changed so much compared to the last time I saw you! Your figure is humanoid, compared to that lump of flesh I made at first.」

Perhaps he has evolved, and that is why his form has changed?

At least he looks so handsome right now compared to that gigantic bloody lump of meat.

I almost puked at the sight of that.

「If this lowly being may explain it to you, it is because I have evolved from what you call a lump of flesh to this form before your eyes...Holy One.」

Ugh!

Couldn't he just stop calling me the Holy One?

Will everyone call me by a god damn title, and worship me like this?

Because if they do, then I can guarantee that I will NOT feel pity when they wage wars!

It's so god damn annoying.

「Oh? Then how about that lump of flesh you just sentenced to the flames of purgatory or whatever? Why was it in that form?」

「That is one of the skills that I can use. If used, anything that has evolved or grown will return to its birth form, reducing the targets strength.」

Why do I feel envy deep inside me, even if I could destroy everything?

That description sounds so cool.

And yes, I know.

I can just make such a skill, can't I?

But why would I?

It's not like I'm going to have any use for it anyway...or maybe I do?

The only use I can think of for such a skill is for me to have fun toying with my opponent. (Not that anyone CAN be my opponent.)

So if I use such skill, I would just be like every god in the novels, that look down upon us 'mortals' with contempt.

Not that I would mind, but I don't like to be hated by someone.

Especially if it's a lot of people that hate me.

I'd rather not experience that.

「Pretty unique. Hmmm...Oh well, since I only came to see how everything's going, I'll leave now. I hope you find someone that can be enthroned after your reign.」

Even as I speak, I open up a crack in space, and without waiting for his reply, I walk through.

'Holy shit it's hard to act calm when someone just throws a sword directly at you. I almost had a heart attack!' (*Wiping sweat off of forehead*)

I get that he's got to stay alert at all times, but wow.

I didn't think he would be that tense.

But then again.

If you're named the strongest within that hellhole, then there's probably going to be millions that want you dead. Or some that want to challenge your strength as well.

I pity you, Diablo.
