a ruined palace

The goddess's cry echoed through the palace filled with collapsed debris.

"...... '

The rain fell on the floor.

I gazed down at Gaia crying.

Tsk, I kicked my tongue with a bitter expression.

'I feel like I've done something pretty bad.

Of course, I didn't mean to do this from the beginning.

Originally, Gaia was going to hide her identity until the end. 'We can't help it now that we're all caught.'

Baal was able to intervene in the system and monitor his every move.

No, it's just surveillance.

It was possible to show that image to others through the system.

'You could have fooled me once.'

It may be a little trouble, but it will be possible to deceive. But twice? Three times?

It's impossible.

As long as Baal has the authority of the system, his identity is inevitably revealed.

It's like a 24-hour CCTV monitoring without a blind spot.'

And in those situations, there's always a lot of cover-up.

Sticking to something only increases restrictions on behavior.

in the result

"You have to force them to follow you even after you know who you are."

The rainfall looked down at Gaea with deep sinking eyes.

The shoulders tremble pitifully, the tears flowing through the cheeks.

Not only was she betrayed by her own authority, but she was forced to follow the devil of the prophecy, and she was crying sorrowfully.

The rain sighed briefly.

"If I had known it would end up like this, I should have revealed it earlier.

In fact, I've thought about it a few times.

I think it would be better to reveal your identity and take the time to prove that you have no intention of destroying the world.

I didn't do it because I was afraid the reaction would be too strong.

There was no other choice than believing and following him as a Savior who would save the world, so it was different from forcing him to follow the devil of the prophecy.

In comparison, it is no different from a country that forces patriotism to make sacrifices.

Can a man's power be produced by following with tears of blood, because he cannot stand up to the great power of a nation?

'That can't be true.

In fact, it will be difficult to expect much from Gaia in the future.

Nothing was more fragile than a belief. 'I'm glad I had the pills left in my shoes."

Or, in the worst case scenario, you might have had to choose to remove Gaia. 'Well, anyway.'

It's already happened, and it's too late to turn back.

It was wise to do the best you could now, rather than regretting what you would have done or done with a whimper.

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Stretching. Stuttering.

The rain covered his face with his hands,

He approached Gaea, who was constantly crying.

'You pushed it hard once.

It's time to calm him down.

"Well, don't take it so badly. The frustration is the same for me."

"...."

Gaia lifted her head with her hands down, covering her face.

"That's... what do you mean?"

"As I said before, I have no intention of destroying the world. If you had intended to destroy it in the first place, would you be struggling like this? If we just leave it alone, it will perish on its own. My goal is to eat kimchi stew peacefully on Earth and live with my lover in order."

Gaia flinched and trembled. What Kang-woo said was not wrong.

If it weren't for him, the Earth would have been hell by the Demons.

The same was true of the Hernor continent.

The power of angels alone would not have been enough to prevent the birth of the seat of evil.

No, you don't have to go far.

It would have been impossible to prevent the attack of outer space a few days ago if it had not been for heavy rain.

"I have no intention of destroying it, but I was forced to hide my identity by telling the devil of the prophecy."

"Ha, but..."

"Yeah, yeah. I know what you're trying to say. You're telling me that if the Dead Sea grows like this, I'll be swallowed up by its power and destroy the world, right?"

Gaia, who was stabbed to the point, shut her mouth tightly.

Kangwoo smiled.

"Let me see... That's when we first entered the Old Hell. Yeah, I've heard that since about a thousand years ago." "My wife, a thousand years?"

"Yes, and now I am."

Rain stood in front of her and spread his arms wide.

"I'm here all right."

Gaia looked up at him with trembling eyes.

I can't believe I lasted a thousand years with the Mahae in my body.

It was nonsense. "Well, it was still an unfinished Mahae."

"How the hell..."

"I don't know."

Rain shrugged his shoulders. He continued by changing his way of speaking comfortably.

"I don't know how I held out."

But I'm sure.

"It's the fact that I will still exist as myself."

I survived ten thousand years in a dog-like hell. I can't eat, drink, or rest.

There's nothing, entertainment, entertainment.

Didn't do it.

It was full of desperate slaughter and fighting.

And more than anything.

Woman

Yeah, there wasn't even a damn girl.

After 8,000 years, I tried to imagine her face, but I couldn't because I couldn't think of her.

Do you know the misery when I fiddled with my Francois because I was worried that he was really rotting?

Oh, you know how it feels?

'No, wait a minute.’

Come to think of it, was there a woman? But you have to say it was there.

I'm choking.

With a sticky slime, a nightmarish '■■' came to mind. "No, that wasn't there."

Obviously, I had to mix myself up, but I didn't want to count it as an experience.

No, I couldn't. You shouldn't hit. "I, my child... No, Ogang..."

"Oh, shit! I've forgotten all about it, but I've forgotten it again!"

The rain burst at Gaea.

To flinch.

Gaia's body trembled.

"Whoa, whoo. I can't take it away."

"I can't take this body out of spite. Okay? Huh? I'm Mahago Nabal and I'll never give my body to you. No, I can't."

"Oh, I see. I'll calm down for a second."

"Calm down!"

The rain burst into harsh language and grabbed Gaia by the shoulder.

He stared at her with burning eyes, and continued.

"Listen. Huh? No one's going to steal my body, so stop worrying and focus on what's in front of you."

"You know that there's no other way but to trust me anyway, right?"

"That's..."

"Then believe me."

The rainfall continued with a firm voice, as if with a knife.

"Or sit on the floor like you are now and keep squeezing."

a frosty voice

But now it was exactly what she needed.

Gaia closed her eyes slowly.

Touching his hand on the floor, he slowly pulled himself up.

"As you said, I... She is an incompetent goddess."

"This world... I struggled desperately to protect my children, but it wasn't you who saved them."

When I first revealed that I was the devil of the prophecy, I remembered the sharp mockery that the rainfall made.

As he said, he couldn't save anything.

So far, it has been the devil of prophecy, not himself, that protects the world.

Squeeze it.

Gaia grabbed the hem of her dress and looked at Kangwoo with trembling eyes.

"Can I... can I really trust you?"

a voice of eagerness Kangwoo smiled and turned away. "It's your choice, believe it or not. I can't even get involved in that, can I?"

but

"If you really want to save this world, shouldn't you grab something?"

Even if it's the devil's hand that will bring destruction.

Gaia closed her mouth with her head down.

Rain walked out of the palace leaving her behind.

"Sigh, ha."

I took a deep breath. Slowly spit it out.

I looked up at the dark sky of the New World as if it reminded me of the night sky. "Did you see that?"

What's the point of struggling in an ugly?

Where is the need to hide the truth desperately?

To treat a poor and poor goddess as she pleases,

It is a simple task that does not necessarily require such an effort.

"Come on, open your notebook."

I don't feel any sign of it,

He continued towards someone who would be watching him somewhere.

"This part is on the test, so write it down well."

He burst into giggles.

Whoo-hoo!

The hills of red sand shot up like explosions.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A roar like the roar of a beast reverberated through the hills of red sand.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Scream erupted from the mouth of the mad boy.

Boom! Boom!

Every time he waved, a huge sand hill exploded.

The sky is black and the earth is wrong.

The demons around him lay flat on their faces as the boy created destruction that was no different from a natural disaster.

"Oh, my God, my God, my God, my God!"The boy racked his hair and screamed hysterically.

When he held his right arm roughly, the demons that were squeezing on the floor were sucked into his grasp. "Fa, Mr. Baal..."

Quick!

Baal chewed and swallowed the devil's head trembling with a pale look. "Sigh, ha. Sigh."

The boy, who trampled on the body of the devil whose head was torn off, stared at the blue window in front of his eyes with trembling eyes.

Hahaha! Hahahahaha!

Beyond the blue screen, a young man with a sharp impression was bursting with laughter, clutching his stomach. "This, no."

It was not the appearance of the King, who had expected, nervous, stamping his feet, and looking forward to it.

He didn't look like he was crawling on the floor to hide the truth, squeezing his tears, and squeezing his head in an ugly way.

Rather, he looks like. What he craved... It was like an 'ideal' demon.

"This isn't it!"

Coo-oong!

Baal stamped his foot roughly. He tore his hair and screamed like a fit.

If you copy me... Did you think you could be like me? 'Oh, it's you.' Trembling. Baal trembled.

As if talking to himself, he looked up exactly where he was and stabbed him with a sharp dagger.

"You, follow, try, crab, no, no."

a cracking voice

Baal's eyes blazed red.

Boom boom. Boom, Boom bboom. Fragments of shattered teeth flowed through the lips.

You.

"Mal, don't."

said imploringly.

but

Nothing.

"Ah, ah, ah."

Baal staggered backward.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A groan of insanity erupted again.
