508 Reason of Desire (1)

You've prepared a lot. the boy's voice reverberating in his head

Kang-woo answered with a faint smile around his mouth.

"Some moron gave me plenty of time."

Hehehe.

a low, frenzied laugh

The mouth of the heavy rain sank.

With cold eyes, he stared at the red crack.

"Baal."

The king of the devil continued to speak in a low voice.

"Let's get this over with."

Squeeze!

The red crack twists.

Open, twist, tear.

Stretching. Stuttering.

Footprints echo through the cracks.

And

"Yes, it's time to finish." The boy with black hair walked out.

"Sigh, ha." Baal, who came out of the crack, breathed deeply. Slowly spit it out.

He turned his head and shrugged his shoulders.

"Long time no see."

He licked his lips with his tongue sticking out.

Crying.

The corners of your mouth are torn up below your ears. I could see sharp teeth sticking out of my red gums.

'Well, I don't think it's been long enough.' 'I didn't mean it to you.'

"...what?"

The rain frowned.

I asked Baal what he was talking about.

"Hahaha!"

Baal just shrugged and laughed.

Rain looked at Baal and slowly opened his eyes. 'Let me ask you one question.' 'Huh?'

Baal tilted his head.

After reuniting with Baal, Rain spoke of questions that had never been solved.

"Why do you, with the power of form,

Do you have it?"

the power of formulation

The power that makes the current rainfall, or the current rainfall itself, is now the power.

Apparently Baal had the same 'power of saturation' as he did.

"It doesn't make sense to have two equal powers.'

Of course, rainfall was able to use several powers absorbed by the power of saturation.

But it was possible because it absorbed the power itself to the fullest extent.

There was no way that the power of the formulation itself could exist at the same time.

"Hahaha!"

Baal shook his shoulders and laughed.

"Why would I... Do I have the power to form?"

I laughed in vain, as if I was full of energy. Baal continued with his arms wide open.

"He... 'cause I was first."

words beyond comprehension

"What do you mean?"

"hehehehe!! It's a literal meaning! I was, I was before you."

"So first, that's what I'm saying.

"Son..."

"I will!"

Coo-oong!

He stamped his foot violently.

"I went up first!!"

Scream, howl, howl. "From the hell of Ilcheon to Guchon,

To hell! I went up before you!"

"Hehehehehehehehe!! I struggled like crazy. Huh? To live! To survive! I struggled like crazy.

It's miserable, it's ugly, it's horrible.

Crawled. "Eat, eat, eat, eat! While you're bickering downstairs!"

He.

He has reached the Old Hell.

"But!"

How come.

"Why did you complete the Maha Sea?"

Why not yourself. He was later than himself, weaker than himself.

'He was nothing.

He was able to complete the unfinished business.

"......

The eyes of the heavy rain shook.

Baal's cry and his desperate cry remained in his head like a small scar.

"Yes, I mean..." As if he hadn't thought of it, as if he hadn't even imagined it.

I looked at Baal.

"You were... a man who fell to hell that day."

A day of upheaval. A black crack that engulfed itself. What fell there,

What fell into hell,

He was not alone.

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I see.

That's what you meant.

The heavy rain gave a vain laugh.

It's been a long time. Baal said something that came out of the crack.

I realized that it was not meant for me, but for the Earth.

'Yes, I've heard of it."

Prior to himself, Baal was the first demon to rise from the Ilcheon Hell to the Guchon Hell.

And Baal was the first of the demons to kill the Great Prince and take over.

Although he was buried a lot because of the miraculous moves he had made after he ascended to the Guchon Hell, it was undeniable that Baal was also a demon who made a new history in the Guchon Hell.

"Yeah, I fell."

Baal glared at Kang Woo with a fiery look.

"And."

Proudly.

grind one's teeth violently

"I reached the Old Hell several times faster than you."

"......

"You and I."

Baal went on nervously shaking his legs.

"In the beginning, it was made as a vessel to complete the Mahae."

Only for that, the demon created the existence of Baal and Oh Kang-woo. 'No, it's not just you and me.' '...Not just you and me?" "Yes! The demon made countless bowls like you and me!""

And the one that survived. the closest surviving vessel to completion "Not you, but... It's me."

Baal gritted his teeth and said,

"...ha."

The heavy rain gave a short laugh.

'Is that why he called me a puppet?'

In the first place, he was just a bowl made to hold the mahae.

After completing the Mahae, it is destined to be taken into the hands of the demon.

"Well... I know what you're talking about."

by the way

"So what?"

"...what?"

"You're such a big talker."

in the result

"You're a moron who didn't complete Maha?"

"If you were the best, you would have completed the damage."

But it was not Baal but himself who completed Mahae.

Baal's eyes trembled.

He twisted his facial expression violently and nervously chewed his nails.

"Hehehehehehehehe!!"

He smiled with a shrug. "I don't understand... Why was it you, not me? What?"

The most complete vessel made by the demon was himself.

However, in the end, he failed. "Why? Why? Why?"

Boom, boom, boom.

He stamped his foot violently and cried. "Why! It wasn't me, it was you!"

Baal glared at Kang Woo with a look of madness.

In his eyes toward Kangwoo, there was only one emotion.

"Come on, you little loser."

The rain kept a smattering of laughter in its mouth.

The emotion in Baal's eyes.

Laughter burst out in a desperate sense of inferiority toward himself. "Why didn't you complete Maha?""

It was a problem that we didn't have to think about.

"You."

Rain looked at Baal with a deep, sunken look at Baal. "Because I didn't desire."

Arakail is right.

The essence of the devil is desire.

Desire,

Only desire completes the devil.

"I, I desire... Didn't you?

"Yes."

Kangwoo recalled Baal, whom he had met in Guchon Hell in the past.

the greatest achievement

A person who killed Belzebub and robbed the left side of binge eating.

but

"That's all."

'You killed the arch, you took the place.' 'So, what...' 'What then?"

"I..."

"Yeah, you."

Sizzling.

The rain wrung up its mouth.

"I was satisfied there."

I didn't desire any more.

He is best known as the Great Powers, and no one can stand up to him in hell.

after realizing the fact

He said, 'I stopped being greedy.

I gave up.

I was satisfied.

"Unlike you."

The rainfall took a deep breath.

Unlike Baal, who was satisfied with the position of the Prince,

Even after he ascended the throne,

Even when Mahae was completed.

He was not satisfied.

"...how?"

Baal looked at the rain, unable to understand.

"How could you do that?" "I wanted something different from you."

The heavy rain gave a smirk. Even if it was the same vessel of Mahae, the desire for each other was different. 'That must have been the difference between you and me.' 'Hee, hehey!"

Baal asked in an insane voice.

"So, what was it you wanted? What? What a great desire! How did you get Maha's hand!"

"Well, that's."

The heavy rain thought for a moment with its arms crossed arms.

When I was in the Old Hell,

What you wanted.

He longed for the huge power of the Mahae. "Kimchi-jjjigae... I wanted to eat it."

"...what?" "Didn't you want to?" You said you used to live on Earth.

I don't know if he was Korean. "Cold soup, sour kimchi, white rice and thick meat..."

To be honest, it was worth getting.

"No, no, no, no, no."-"Well, there was something else." No, that's a lot to come to think of."

"Woman, yeah. I wanted to meet her. Let's see, yeah. I wanted to turn on the air conditioner and read a novel under the blanket."

It's a piece of cake.

Baal opened his mouth and looked at the rainfall.

"Why?"

The rain burst into giggles. "Do you think it's a stupid reason?" Do you think it's a pathetic, trivial reason?

Baal did not answer.

However, Baal's eyes were so fierce that he didn't need an answer. "Well, then."

The rainfall smiled brightly and continued.

'Can you have done it?' '...what?'

"When you hear the best of the best or the best of all. Could you have achieved what I wanted?"That's..."

Baal blurted out the end of his speech.

What a rainfall desires is a desire that cannot be realized, at least in the Old Hell.

That's not to say.

"It's only possible if you kill seven greats, collect weapons of the souls of the greats, and then have enough magicians to interfere in space and time."

No, that's not enough.

At the time, he didn't know, but he had to be able to break through a defense mechanism called 'Star Guard' with his bare body.

"If it were you."

Do you think you can do that? "That, that..."

Baal's voice trembled.

Of course, it would be no big deal now that we can take the heart of a demon to awaken our prestige and deal with Titan's law.

but

'If it were me then.

At that time, 'if you were the master of binge eating.

If you were satisfied with that.

If you're the one who stopped wanting.

How dare you desire the ridiculous goal of returning to Earth?

Could he have gone on with longing?

Baal gritted his teeth. "Anyway, now you know why I have Maha, right?"

I didn't want to live as a devil.

I didn't want to stay in hell. His essence is not the devil to the devil.

Human. It was Oh Kangwoo.

"Human? Human?"

Hehehehe!

Baal crouched, hugging his belly. "No, it's not.

"You, me..."

Pointed at the rainfall with your fingers, and pointed to yourself. 'Yes, 'we,' continued the eyes glistening with madness.

"I've never been a human being."

He spoke with a grain of salt.

"...... "

Naturally, I remembered the memories of entering the inner world of the past. Do you remember your mother's face?

Marcy, what Paulie said to him.

Do ordinary humans have the power to form? Do you think a human being who is nothing can keep his sanity after absorbing so much magi?

The answer is rather simple.

It was one from the beginning.

He himself,

It was not human in the first place. It has never been human. He has been a monster with a human shell since he was on Earth.

"...this is what I was expecting.

G.'

The fact that he is not ordinary is what he had expected since he first used the power of formulation in Hell.

"So?"

Rain asked in a soft voice.

"...that's not surprising, is it?"

Baal tilted his head in incomprehension.

The heavy rain grinned. The reaction is the same as that of a man named Mash. "Why, am I surprised? What? My, I wasn't a human being! This is how I get frustrated.

Do you want me to do it too?"

Now, what's important is whether you're human or not?

Even if he's not human,

Even if he was just a monster with a human shell on it.

"What do you want?"

Whatever it was, it had lived as a human being, existed as a human being, and wanted as a human being.

"Why don't you just be a human being if you're done with this?"

Call?

Baal shut his mouth, as if ridiculous. "It seems like you've been adding a lot of settings to this and that, revealing the truth with excitement."

A vessel for the completion of the evil, a monster with a human shell,

What kind of grandiose and stupid setup do you have?

"Whatever you say, you're the same, asshole."

No matter what his identity says, his life as a 'Oh Kang-woo' does not disappear.

As if closing your eyes doesn't mean the world will disappear.
