Chapter 37: Awakening (2)
" ."
Jamie woke up in the dark.
He saw the history of the past doom replaying automatically in his head.
There were a total of six world resets, and humanity was deprived of something each time.
warrant. life span. freedom. dignity. variable.
The first video that was played was the humans of the time Diablo Volfir lived.
Those who knew that there was no chance of winning while helping themselves as the Resistance and attached themselves to the 12 gods.
Humans of that era all had individual powers.
Therefore, it was a time when magic engineering did not have to develop as much as it is now, and humans were also strong enough not to be pushed by the race.
12 The gods betrayed them and annihilated them.
Those who contributed to the sealing of Diablo Volfir.
would be considered dangerous.
'Because they have the power to stab a dagger in their backs at any time.'
Having suffered an affliction against a strong man, there is no way that such a strong man will not appear again.
So, in order to block it in advance, he took the power from mankind.
'After that, life.'
Humans were not originally a race with a short lifespan of 100 years or so as it is now.
Even if not as much as an elf, it was a race that lived for at least 300 years.
The 12 gods annihilated mankind and robbed them of their life span in the second world.
'Then freedom.'
It has lowered humanity as a whole and made it possible to live in a limited world through a powerful race.
'Next is dignity.'
It has greatly reduced the value of human beings and made them have a worm-like status.
'Next is the variable.'
Still, when the rare hero born through the possibility of being like a thread tried to regain freedom and dignity again, he killed him and even eliminated the variable.
'The last one.'
Evolve, a new human being created in this way, was subservient and cowardly and always maintained a naive appearance, and volunteered to be the slave of the 12 gods until the last moment.
So the 12 gods did not steal anything.
This is because humans have become so weak that there is no need to steal them.
Humans were thus reduced to being slaves of God.
that's the world now.
On the surface, it seems that magic develops and various countries rule the world on each continent, but in fact, it is a more religious era than any other era.
In other words, it is the age of living in the world as the slaves of the 12 gods.
"Until I am born!"
A purple glow flashed in Jamie's eyes as if on fire.
They bred humans into complete slavery through multiple world resets.
It was no exaggeration to say that the 12 denominations ruled the vast continent.
However, they did not even notice the schemes devised by Diablo Volfir and Gaia.
Jamie Welton appears on earth and tries to create a new salvation.
Above all, the 12 gods believed too much in their own relationship.
Now that little bond is beginning to break down.
"I will surely make you fall from that arrogant sky."
The ugly history that he tried to hide somehow.
A vicious act designed to trample all human beings and make them like worms.
will pay you all back.
Jamie grunted, grinding his teeth.
Descendants have suffered so horribly.
'Because I lost.'
Hell six times awaited mankind.
Jamie feels guilty.
I also feel guilty.
And finally, I feel strong anger.
can't forgive
The wrath in my heart won't subside at all, unless I show those damn things a terrible hell.
"I will definitely feed you guys some shit!!"
The moment when a voice filled with anger was vomited.
- Contractor.
The darkness was pushed away like a lie, and a world of five colors of light appeared.
There appeared a large sphere of light with several small lights orbiting like a satellite.
- Did you see it? the truth of the world.
A beautiful woman's voice like a rolling jade bead.
Jamie could easily figure out what the light was.
"Gaia."
-Yes. I am Gaia
Gaia says
- Contractor. Are you ready to fulfill the contract?
Jamie didn't bother to ask what the contract was.
I didn't have to ask.
It wasn't just the history of mankind that the 12 gods had erased from the mind.
'I invest half of my soul in the future.'
A familiar, old voice.
my heart is pounding
Jamie put her hand on her chest.
I felt the half soul contained within it at the constant pulsating beat.
The half soul that Diablo Volfir entrusted to Gaia in the darkness of the beginning.
It was passed on to the child born to the Welton family according to the will of the Creation God.
That's Jamie Wellton.
'I don't want you to think it's fake. Your spirit and will are real.'
I remembered what Katos said before coming over here.
He told himself it wasn't a fake, but Jamie found it difficult to accept that, and declared independence of his identity.
I do not regret that declaration.
Even now, Jamie didn't think of himself as Diablo Volfir.
However, the half of the soul contained within this is definitely Diablo's.
It is the last bulwark against the freedom of mankind, whom he trusted and entrusted to him.
So, follow his will.
"Do it, God of Creation. I will set your children free. The invaders will not even set foot on this land."
- If you fail. Neither you nor I can turn back. such a restriction.
Diablo's contract with Gaia.
It is to liberate the old gods who follow the creation god from the 12 gods.
Instead, Gaia decided to help Jamie restore her powers to her prime.
However, if all of these terms and conditions fail, the two will be forever sealed in the abyss of the universe, which is known to be worse than the darkness of the beginning due to restrictions.
But Jamie didn't care.
I do not care. 12 God must die by my hand. Without leaving even one of them on this earth, I will destroy them all in this universe!"
Gaia, the creator god, responds, feeling the space shaking at Jamie's cry.
- The last watchman. savior of mankind. 12 Adversary of the gods.
The sphere of light that makes up Gaia grows stronger and begins to cover Jamie.
Jamie closed her eyes as she felt the vitality filling her up from the depths of her chest.
- The time has come. In the midst of trials, you will be reborn as an impeccable being.
flash-!!
And an intense light filled the entire space, and when all the lights went out, Jamie was nowhere to be seen.
Gaia, who was left alone, murmured while looking at the empty space.
-The last hope is whether it will be able to keep the embers alive until the very end. Otherwise... .
She blurted out her words and slowly disappeared.
The light disappeared and darkness filled it again.

"Fast."
Trika saw black demons setting up barracks spread out in the distance.
It was the demon corps of the Demon King of Wrath camp.
Among them were the vampire corps and demon soldiers of the deteriorating corps under the control of the Demon King of Wrath.
It was an enormous army.
I wondered if I could last a week if I pushed in at once.
your Majesty. Even now, ask another Great Demon King for help."
Count Dmitry, a high-ranking demon in the 7th rank, gave advice with a serious face.
"No matter how strong the Great Greed Legion is, it is impossible to stop the large army of the Demon King of Wrath."
"I agree with Count Dmitry. Your Majesty, if you are the cruel demon lord, you will surely help."
He even added to Count Ankaro, who is ranked 5th.
It wasn't just the two demons.
Except for Lillian and Beiros, the commanders of all corps appealed to Trika that they should ask for reinforcements.
No matter how much the demons like to fight, it was best to avoid a struggle that was nothing more than a confirmed defeat.
There was no way that Trika, who had fought countless wars, would not have known that.
your Majesty. What are you going to do?"
Lilian stood next to the trika, silently staring at the enemy camp, and asked cautiously.
Then I asked her if Trika decided she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
"What is the difference in the military force?"
"According to the skirmishers, more than 300,000 troops have been gathered so far, and it seems that enemy troops are constantly being called in."
The minimum is 300,000, and the maximum is unknown.
If the Demon King of Wrath gathers all the demon forces in his camp, would he dare to count the number?
At this point, it was just a useless insistence to stop it with the power of the greed corps alone.
However, bowing his head to the other Great Demon King was worse than dying.
It wasn't because it was humiliating.
'After that, there will be a lot of interference.'
It wasn't that Tri-car did not fall under the control of the Great Demon King for nothing.
In the first place, he was not qualified to lead anyone.
After surviving the demon realm and fighting to get revenge on the 12 gods, we have come to this point by fighting again.
Originally, he was most comfortable doing what others told him to do.
It was the same before he died, and it was the same after he became an undead.
But now there is a purpose.
The purpose is to repay the greed for losing their master and companions to the 12 gods.
So, it is difficult to bow down to the Great Demon King.
'But at this rate, all of my subordinates will die.'
On the day of the final battle, the master told all the workhorses and undead subordinates to leave.
At that time, he only thought that the master was selfish, but he just didn't want to lose his subordinates.
like who you are now.
"Whoa."
no method.
I feel sorry for the master, but I also have a sense of responsibility.
I don't want to bow my head to the other Great Demon King, but I'm sure the master will understand.
"I will go to the Relentless Legion."
The cruel demon who has the greatest power among the five great demon kings.
In the past, the demon king who nearly forged an alliance with Diablo Volfir was also familiar with Trikawa at the time.
So, when he first fell into the demon realm and ran around like a demon, the cruel demon king recognized him and tried to put him in his camp.
At that time, I had work to do, so I refused, but he told me to come anytime.
'I am not a trustworthy person.'
He is so sly in his heart that his master broke the alliance contract.
You never know what will happen if you go under his control and borrow his power.
That doesn't mean that other Great Demon Kings are better than Relentless.
There are people who are as faithful to the other emotion as anger, and there are people who are full of greed and have nothing but threads to hold hands.
It is irresistible.
Trika said that he was going to go quickly.
"I will go alone."
"Are you okay?"
"If we go together for nothing, we may end up in trouble. The commanders of the corps will try to keep them from approaching as much as possible, and if anything happens, Marquis Lillian should contact me."
It was the moment when Trika was about to go to the cruel demon king.
Darkness condensed in the air, and Katos appeared.
"Duke Katos!"
Beiros, who had been quiet at his appearance, approached him with a fierce look.
"He Where's Jamie Wellton, are you here alone?
Other demons were watching, so I couldn't attach the nim character.
Trika also paused for a moment at his appearance.
Peacock.
At that call, Katos said to Trika with a yellow glow in his eyes.
"No need to go."
" Duke Katos? Are you crazy? What to Your Majesty?"
"I guess I didn't hear it wrong."
"Is it treason?"
At Katos' attitude, the other corps commanders hardened their faces and showed a hostile look.
Lilian also frowned at how unfamiliar Katos was, but Trika stayed still and decided to watch.
Trika raised her hand and stopped the corps commanders.
"Count Beiros. I want you to step back too."
your Majesty.
When he shook his head that he was okay, Beiros stepped back, glaring at Katos.
"Are you determined not to be under my control now?"
"That's pretty good. Because I have accomplished my purpose."
is it.
In the unknown conversation, the commanders of the corps floated question marks above their heads.
Only Beiros understood their conversation.
The conversation between the two continued.
"What happened?"
"He brought him to what he needed, both to escape the eyes of wrath and to restore his former glory."
"Old glory?"
"If you succeed, everything can be reversed, and if you fail ."
Katos did not continue to speak until the end.
Still, the meaning was sufficiently conveyed, so Trika had no choice but to nod her head.
"I wish you success."
Yes.
"But, why don't you go? Our strength alone cannot stop the army of wrath."
"Because it's no different than being cold-hearted."
" ."
do not worry. Until he returns."
Katos turned and looked at the enemy.
It was a huge number, but he wasn't very intimidated.
Instead, it spread the darkness and shot a black pillar towards the sky.
As an upside-down wave spread out in the sky, something black began to fly towards him.
"I will stop it."
A lot of darkness was absorbed into his body, and he returned to his original form, not Katos's.
The darkness faded to pure white, and a beautiful light began to scatter around it.
Soon, as the light faded, a man with gray hair appeared from within, clad in a golden robe and wooden one-eyed glasses.
He was holding a staff carved out of the world tree in his right hand.
The man's true identity is one of the nature gods created long ago by the creation god Gaia.
"I am the 'information aggregate' Akashic that contains all the knowledge of the world."
He said with his yellow eyes shining.
"We will focus our efforts on Mercury."
Diablo Volfir.
no.
Until Jamie Wellton returns.
I will definitely buy this place.
Even if it will be a grave.
