483 take off one's mask (2)

"Ah..."

Gaia's eyes opened wide. With a pale look on his face, he groaned.

Shake your body and shake your head. "Oh, no. Well, that can't be..."

"What do you mean, I'm right," Kang-woo laughed.

Gaia staggered back and said,

"Well, didn't you say Baal was the devil of the prophecy before?"-"Of course it was a lie." Then shall I tell you the truth?"

Kang Woo shrugged his shoulders and said calmly.

Transparent tears formed in Gaia's eyes.

Deeply trusted, the light of salvation.

The demon of prophecy that the identity of an unquestioned being will bring an end.

What do you mean?

I didn't want to believe it. No, I couldn't believe it. "Well, then... You and Baal... Were you in the same team from the beginning?"

"Why would I have a party with such a loser?"

The rainfall continued in a low voice with a smile.

"The fact that I'm the Devil of Prophecies

Hey."

but

"I don't want to destroy the world, I don't want to devour it."

"...what?"

Gaia looked at the rain with her eyes wide open, as if she could not understand it.

"It was real trying to protect this world."

Gaia's eyes trembled. She chewed her lips and clenched her fist tightly.

"Huh, don't talk nonsense! The Devil of Prophecy has come to an end in this world."

"What the hell is that prediction in the first place? What the hell are you talking about when you see someone who doesn't want to do that?"

asked the rain, his face twisted roughly.

So far, anger that has been accumulated and exploded through Kim Tae-hyun has encroached on his body.

"What's wrong with this guy or that guy or his prediction?"

Gasp.

He glared at Gaia with a fierce cursing.

To be honest, it was an unfair situation for him.

"I stopped him."From Demonism to Satan, to the seat of evil, to the invasion of outer space.

"I'm the one who stopped them."

How many times has it stopped the Earth from being in danger?

"While the sons of God are bound by the law!"

What saved the dying world,

"While we're in a civil war and we're both in a state of the world!"

It was none other than himself.

If not for him, this world would have been ruined long ago, even if it had already been ruined.

"Come on, say it to me, Guy." Cold eyes, staring at her.

I did

"What did you do while I was killing those bastards?"

Gaia shut her mouth tightly.

The words I wanted to deny were filled to the top of my throat, but I couldn't bring myself to speak.

Because, "Yeah, what did you do?"

What Kang-woo said was that nothing was wrong.

"Well, you've tried. He would have made Reyra a incarnation, bound by the constraints of the law, but somehow made a guardian to protect her."

but

So what was the result? Huh? If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me."

Was it possible to stop it?

Demonism, the Great Dynasties, the Saints of Evil, the King of Gisaeng,

And

Baal.

"You think you could have prevented it?"

"Well, that's..."

Gaia lowered her head with her lips clapped.

Turn your head away from the truth.

The rain burst into giggles.

"Why, should I tell them that I did well because I've worked so hard? Huh? Oh dear! Our great goddess must have had a hard time. Can you give me a compliment?"

Stretching. Stuttering.

Kang Woo grabbed Gaia's chin, which turned his head, and turned to himself.

"You."

In a cold voice, he opened his mouth.

"What the hell is he talking about?

What did you do?"

Gaia was silent.

She shuddered away the rain's hand.

"Don't touch me!"

Transparent tears streamed down her cheeks.

There was a sense of betrayal that the rainfall had been deceiving him so far, and a sense of anger was raised at his irrefutable question.

Whether it's human or God.

The reaction was not much different when faced with the truth that he did not want to face.

"The prophecy of the world's number is absolute!"

Gaia cried furiously.

"From the beginning to the present... The prophecy never went awry."

If rainfall is really the devil of prophecy,

The world will come to an end in his hands.

"Didn't you destroy the real land of exchange with your own hands?"

Rain must have seen what Baal showed us.

It was not fabricated.

Then, it also means that it is true that he destroyed the continent.

Gaia continued, biting her lips with a nervous look.

"Even if you don't intend to destroy the real world..."

She recalled the image of a rainfall fighting with the king of Parasite.

Countable mouths, sharp teeth.

a body covered with darkness reminiscent of an endless abyss

"One day... you will be encroached upon by the Maha and lose your reason."

If the rain really had the evil in the prophecy, destruction was fixed regardless of his will.

It can be said that it is inevitable.

Even if they succeeded in killing Baal, the rain would eventually sink into the power of the Mahae and go mad.

You lose your intelligence, you lose your reason, you become a monster, you devour the whole world.

All

"Isn't the harm in you actually getting bigger and bigger?"

The rain was tightlipped.

As she said, Magi's sea in his heart was growing.

Even if he no longer ate anything, he was growing himself up as if the universe were expanding.

"You..."

Gaia stared at the rain with sad eyes.

"You won't be able to stand it."

There's no way I can stand it.

In other words, how can an individual handle the ever-expanding sea?

It was impossible even if it was impossible.

And

"Laughing."

The rain shrugged its shoulders.

"I won't be able to handle it?"

With a burst of laughter, he raised his lips.

"He said the same thing."

Trapped in the abyss of Maha, he recalled the crying demon.

He also said the same thing as Gaea.

You are.

You can't handle it.

"Who..."

"You know what?"

The rainfall looked at her with deep sinking eyes.

"You don't know who I am, do you?"

Who he is, what he's been doing, how he's been living.

They don't know.

I wouldn't care.

He would have foretold the destruction of the earth, judging that it was a force beyond human control.

The same was true in hell. No one thought he would survive in the Old Hell.

He did not think that he would kill the seven great princes and reign as king.

Nevertheless, he is here now. "Well, I get it. Let's say I can't handle the evil, the devil who will destroy the world."

Rain sat on top of the collapsed pillar with his legs crossed.

He spoke to Gaea, who glared at him with angry eyes. "So, what can I do?"

"What can I do for you? Huh? Say it with your own mouth."

The heavy rain smiled. "Yeah, okay."

He continued in a calm voice.

"Kill me."

"...what?"

"Don't just talk with your mouth, but kill me."

The rain took Gaia's arm, which sank on the floor, and brought it near her heart.

"Come on, this is it. There's Maha here."

I tapped my fingertips on the place where my heart was.

"You didn't open the door, you didn't pull up the maggie, so you could kill him at once."

Even if physical protection works like passive, Gaia could penetrate the degree of physical protection.

"What are you doing? I told you to kill him quickly. What? You said it was the Devil of Prophecy? You said it would bring an end to the world."

"Well, that's..."

Gaia's expression was stained with embarrassment.

I never thought it would come out like this.

Gaia's hand, which touched the heart of the rain, trembled slightly.

She looked at the face of the rainfall with a pale look.

I give my life to the light.

I remembered when I accepted the rainfall into my power.

his voice full of valor and determination

When I recalled the rainfall, I felt as if I was cutting my heart out with a knife.

Tears formed around her eyes.

"Now, it's a golden opportunity to kill the Devil of Prophecy. It's not that difficult. Just put your soul into it and stab it in the heart."

The rain continued in a calm voice.

Slowly raising his hand, he stroked Gaia's tearful hair.

"You must save the world, Goddess of Mercy."

Gaia's lips turned pale.

She looked down at her trembling hand. "I, I..."

a crawling voice

She closed her eyes tightly.

Her hand, which touched the heart of the rain, fell helplessly.

"Why, can't you?"

The heavy rain smiled broadly.

And then

"Then I'll do it myself."

Overcome!

He thrust his hand into his chest. The flesh is crushed, and the bones are torn apart. Fountain from a hideously open chest cavity

Blood poured out like Gaia shouted with a look of astonishment.

'What, what are you doing?' she reached for the arm of the rain urgently.

He grabbed his arm and pulled his hand to crush his heart.

'Huh, hahaha,' a cold sweat ran down Gaia's forehead.

With trembling eyes, she looked down at her hand, which held the arm of the rain.

"Why...? "

Rather than the sudden actions of the rainfall, his actions that prevented them did not make sense.

'If I'd let it go.

The Devil of Prophecy would have killed himself and died.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Gaia tried to relax her grip on the arm of the rainfall.

but

No matter how hard she tried to relax, her hand, which somehow pulled the arm of the rain, did not budge.

"I'm going to kill myself. You're stopping me."

The heavy rain gave a smirk.

Patting Gaia's hair in a friendly way, he continued.

"Well, you can't stay still."

Tilting her head, she whispered in her ear.

"Because I swear on my dignity."

".....!"

Gaia's eyes opened wide.

a thundering sensation in one's head

When I first accepted him into power, I remembered what he said himself.

From now on, I, Gaia, will take an oath to the sanctity of benevolence that she considers her guardian Oh Kang-woo as her child and does not cherish her love.

"Ah, ah, ah."

Gaia trembled. Why do you know that rainfall is the devil of prophecy,

Even though I realized that everything I've shown her so far was a lie.

I could understand if I could not relax my grip on his arm.

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

The heavy rain burst into a frivolous laugh, clutching his stomach. "Mr. Gaia." The rain wiped tears from her cheeks with its hands.

"You don't have to be too complicated. You don't have to feel betrayed, you don't have to be sad."

He continued in a whisper. "Actually, Gaia knows that, right?"

Without me.

"I can't stop the end."

Gaia shut her mouth tightly. She also knows that there is no more presence to stop Baal if the rainfall disappears under the current circumstances.

Nevertheless, if the mahae, which sits within the rainfall, continues to grow, the collapse inevitably comes.

In the end, they have to choose between the worst and the worst.

Therefore, she had no choice but to believe in rainfall. He will survive the erosion of the Dead Sea, and he will save the world.

I have no choice but to struggle with the faint strings of hope.

Because she had no other choice but to trust him.

"Ah, ah, ah."

A low groan came out of Gaea's mouth.

With a pale look on her face, she took a backward step back.

Only then did she know that the rain was the devil of the prophecy,

He realized that he had no choice from the beginning.

It was impossible to kill a rainfall because of the oath of grace.

No, let alone kill him, when his life is in danger, his body moves first regardless of his will and protects him.

"You..."

Nevertheless, it is impossible to spread the identity of the rain to the skies.

He was the world's only hope and salvation for this destruction.

When I realize that hope is the devil of the end, I know that everyone will despair.

"From the very beginning..."

The only option left for her is.

There was no other way than to believe and follow the Devil of Prophecy, in self-defense that would bring destruction to the world. "You know, it was there."

You can't do anything. I have no choice but to hang on to him miserably and helplessly. "Well?"

The rain smiled brightly.

"Now, what are you going to do?"

He stroked Gaia's cheek and continued.

"Do you want to kill me here, or do you trust and follow the devil of the prophecy that will bring the end?"

"......."

Gaia shut her mouth tightly. Close his eyes tightly, he avoided looking.

"Answer me."

Rain grabbed her by the chin and forced her to turn her head.

said she, gazing into her trembling eyes.

"By your own mouth."

Tears welled up again around Gaia's eyes.

She bowed her head and answered in a crawling voice.

"I will follow you." 'A little more clearly.' 'I...'

Tears streamed down Gaia's cheeks. "The devil of the prophecy... I'll follow."

a raspy voice

Kangwoo smiled satisfactorily.

Spreading out his arms, he hugged Gaia, who was stiff.

"Thank you so much for caring and loving me like this." "Hahaha, hahaha."

Gaia shuddered with tears.

"You, you bad... Oh, how could you do such a cruel thing..."

You've been fooled so far, even though you're scared of betrayal.

She had no choice but to trust him. I had no choice but to trust and follow.

I have no choice but to have hope.

"Not Guy," said the heavy rain, kneeling in front of her.

"I will give my life to Gaia."

said a low voice.

"...oh."

Gaia's expression turned pale. It's just that the rain just came out of my mouth.

When he was accepted into his power, it was what Kang-woo said.

"You... you..."

The same expression. The same voice as before. the same words as the same words.

Even though I know that's a sweet lie,

Even though I know that ugly nature lies in the mask covered with a warm smile.

For some reason,

I felt a little relieved.

I felt a sense of relief.

I thought I wanted to keep hearing that sweet lie.

No.

I wish I didn't know the truth.

"Really, you'really... The Devil, Logan." Gaia's cheeks were filled with tears flowing down her chin.

Rainfall wears lightly on the back of her hand.

And he said, "What devil is the devil used to be it used to be the devil."

He smiled brightly.

"It's called the devil because it's sweet."
