083. Rice cake

The appearance of Durishma was very sudden.

“I’m sorry, Kim Woo-jin.”

Maggie was noticeably reduced to a level that was almost undetectable. Instead, his whole body was full of wounds caused by the power of God.

I had a rough idea of what had happened.

“Let’s have a cup of tea first.”

“thanks.”

Durishma took a sip of the warm world tree leaf tea.

“Did they come after all?”

“given. God has come.”

“Which god is it?”

“He was someone who used the powers of water and ice.”

It’s Albitz. One of the three gods of the Vaccine War.

“What happened?”

“The main god and the gods have been pursuing the traces of Delapus. I erased it because I erased it, but it seems that it was not enough to completely hide the sense of the main spirit.”

Titans do not have space-related powers in the first place. Dealing with a power that has rarely been dealt with is difficult and has many gaps.

It may be possible to hide oneself, but it is not easy to erase the traces of space itself.

“They came to the dimension where I am hiding. At first I was happy, but I soon found out that wasn’t the case. If there were one or two, there were as many as 35 gods.”

Except for that too.

A crazy sound came out of nowhere.

No matter how much it is a frontier dimension overflowing with monsters and demons, the level of the 35 gods is different.

Even if hundreds of thousands of monsters rushed at it, it would inevitably be wiped out.

In the end dimension, which has already been destroyed, the flow of divine power is not smooth due to demonia, but the power itself is not restricted like the lower dimension.

So Durishma was defeated.

“There was nothing I could do with the enemy in front of me. I’m angry, but I have no choice but to run away.”

He swallowed blood and ran away. But the pursuit of the gods was relentless.

“Kim Woo-jin, have you kidnapped additional gods besides Delapus?”

“It was.”

“They thought the culprit was me. He told me to release the gods he had kidnapped, so he shouted out loud that he would be able to meet them again as an apostle of darkness.”

Durishma is also not common. He burst out laughing.

“We had a chase across over a hundred frontier dimensions. I tried to stop them using all the monsters that exist in each dimension, but it was not enough. When I thought it would be the end like this in vain, I thought of you.”

Durishma used the power given to him by the darkness. dark soul. The alter ego, which projected all of its power, faced a terrible end to the gods, and the main body escaped the scene.

The very weak power and magic were determined and hidden so that even God could not easily find them.

“Is that why you got so small?”

“yes.”

Durishma had shrunk to a small size of about 10 cm. Rather than a giant, it is more appropriate to call it a doll.

“It’s the most embarrassing form as a Titan, but I couldn’t help it.”

“It is better to flee than to die. You must take revenge.”

“Yes, that sounds right.”

Puduk, Durishma gnashed his teeth.

“However, even after safely escaping, I almost got caught. There was a pretty solid siege around Purgatory here.”

“A siege net?”

“yes. The gods and the enforcers are preventing anyone from entering Purgatory. Didn’t you know?”

“I didn’t know.”

I haven’t been out of purgatory since I went to Kraft.

It was strange that there had been no response for over a week.

why?

‘Since you can’t touch me right now, are you trying to stop me from doing anything?’

that was most likely No, is that really all? Will he be satisfied with that?

no. Kim Woo-jin was convinced. There’s something they’re after.

Also, I had a question.

“But how did you get in? You haven’t been caught, have you?”

If you hide Durishma, the demon king, it’s a contract and it’s a nabal, and it’s all meaningless.

“I didn’t notice. In this state, if I make up my mind, I will not be able to easily find the Lord.”

Right. I was quite convinced by the weak presence. It’s not because it’s well hidden, it’s because there’s nothing to hide.

“And the door to the dimension opened on its own.”

“Lily, did you open the door?”

– eww!

It seems that he recognized it thanks to the fact that he showed the object that Durishma gave him while talking about Durishma last time.

“Well done.”

– Lili, are you hurting yourself?

“Well done. Don’t bully your little brother and get along well.”

Lily nodded.

“Jinju, Albitz-sama has returned.”

In the Great War before the vaccine, all the gods were in place except for the few who could not come inevitably.

Berian sat in the seat of honor and welcomed Albitz and the 34 gods who followed him.

“You said you wouldn’t come until you found them, so you found them, right?”

However, the four missing gods are nowhere to be seen. Varian didn’t know that either.

“I searched hundreds of frontier dimensions, but could not find any trace of them.”

“Why are there only 34 gods?”

“Returned to the bosom of the great Akashic Records.”

“Dead?”

The gods were astonished. It was hard to believe that there were deaths even though 35 gods, including the main god, were together with 36 gods.

“Are you asking me to believe that now?”

“I have to believe. Because it’s true. We were too peaceful.”

“What happened?”

“There was no trace of the monster that kidnapped the four gods. But I thought it had something to do with Calkar or Delapus. Kalkar died in the realm of monsters, and Delapus hasn’t been contacted for weeks.”

“It seems plausible.”

“I found his traces at the place of last contact in Delapus. It was clear that someone had forcibly erased it. We tracked it down.”

It has crossed dozens of dimensions. Maybe more than a hundred.

and at its end.

“I, we faced the Titans.”

“Titan?”

“Weren’t the Titans extinct?”

“No way. The last Titan died then…!”

The Titans were a race extinct by the gods. Those who were born with the power of the gods, were rejected and oppressed by the gods, and eventually rebelled.

However, the power of the gods pierced the universe and annihilated them with an overwhelming difference in power.

They were exterminated without leaving a single child behind. Because of this, it was hard to believe what Albitz said, but on the contrary, I couldn’t believe it because it was Albitz.

“There were survivors?”

Berahn also stretched his back, which was loosely leaning on it.

“I became an apostle of darkness. He was leading hundreds of thousands of monsters in the frontier dimension. It was only in that dimension, so I don’t know how many more monsters there are in other dimensions.”

“…That’s him.”

The gods intuited. He must have been the culprit who messed with the monsters and kidnapped the gods.

“Did you kill him?”

“I couldn’t kill him.”

“You are so proud to say that. If it’s a Titan, it’ll be a bunch of clumsy bastards, and if it’s an apostle of darkness, it’ll radiate demonic energy. Are you saying I missed that?”

“Yeah, I thought so too. He fought a huge giant and an apostle of darkness full of demons. and killed the guy However, when I checked the corpse, there was nothing there.”

It means to abandon everything and escape.

“After that, I searched dozens of neighboring dimensions, but I couldn’t find him. Naturally, the traces of the other four gods were the same.”

“You mean dead?”

“I’ll have to check the Akashic Records from now on. That is the top priority.”

“Let’s go together.”

The meeting paused for a moment. The two main gods headed for the Akashic Records.

Standing in front of a huge pillar of light that lit up the universe, the two felt infinitely smaller.

I carefully checked the records.

long time for that

“… there is no record that your god is dead.”

“Then is it hidden in another periphery dimension?”

“That would be most likely. They may be trying to turn them into dark apostles there.”

“I need to find it as soon as possible.”

However, it won’t be easy. Because the frontier dimensions are really innumerable.

Albitz found another record.

“A new god has been chosen. He is the successor of Belga, who was killed by the Titans. It’s two days ago. Which executor became a god?”

“···what?”

“Why?”

“Wait, wait.”

Varian’s face crumpled.

“Two days ago, God was already chosen?”

“yes.”

“No, it can’t be.”

“What nonsense. So are you saying I’m lying?”

“I don’t mean that. I first heard from you that God is dead.”

“…Come to think of it, that was the reaction. Can you wait a minute?”

“yes.”

Varian gritted his teeth.

“None of the Enforcers was chosen by the Akashic Records.”

“…!”

It was already the second time.

the Lord said

‘You go into purgatory. Gain Kim Woo-jin’s trust and find out all his intentions.’

‘Don’t try to do something for nothing, just make it your top priority.’

‘I’ll mix the others so you don’t get caught, so you just have to be careful.’

High-ranking executive who serves the main god, Petro Koperk, willingly gave up his identity for the sake of the task.

He became a warrior of one dimension with the name Bariha Khan and entered purgatory.

Perhaps it was because of his tone and habits at the time of executioner, he was wary of Kim Woo-jin, but thanks to the other prisoners, he passed it on well.

However, the executioner who met and fought with him became Kim Woo-jin’s dog and entered purgatory.

Even if you hide your face, you cannot completely change your essential energy. His identity was revealed in an instant, and Kim Woo-jin showed no mercy.

‘The only thing I shouldn’t touch is your masters. That’s a contract.’

hit. The Akashic Records contract between Baekseokjeon and Kim Woo-jin does not even care about the safety of the enforcers.

‘do not worry. I won’t kill you.’

But thanks to a clause that prisoners must not die, he was spared. ‘only’ saved his life.

The land was broken and intense torture took place. Treatment is not just about dying.

More than once or twice, he wanted to give in to Kim Woo-jin’s threat to tell him everything he knew. Still, he persevered.

Because he believed that one day God would save him.

“… Lord God.”

A cracked voice emerges from dry lips. The dizzying pain felt on the broken land still pierces the brain.

Darkness with nothing. pain and boredom.

Petro Koperk grew weary day by day. The mind is worn out and the body is impoverished.

‘Maybe I’d rather die.’

Yes, that is rather the way for God. As long as he is a prisoner, Kim Woo-jin can’t let him die at all costs.

But it’s not easy either. The executioner’s body is not so weak that he can die just by biting his tongue. He doesn’t even have enough energy left to cut off the restraints, and to make matters worse, outside the iron window, a prison guard is watching him with lights on.

‘God, when the hell will I…’

That was the moment.

flash-

The light was projected down vertically.

The structures of the prison seeped into Petro’s body as if they were not in the way.

The darkness disappeared in a bright beam of light.

And Petro felt full. I felt a sense of power and omnipotence.

What it was, he realized at once.

Because he had seen the main god countless times, and he hoped that he would too.

god.

“…I really am!”

became a god

Perhaps due to the effect of the awakening light, all of the restraining tools became inoperative. The broken land aligns itself, and all the wounds are healed.

Mana, which had completely dried up and exposed the floor, also welled up like a waterfall and was filled with the power of the gods.

clap-

The restraints made by the gods with no function were just insignificant metal. Petrokoprk lightly cut them off.

“Oh, my God…!”

I saw the back of the prison guard who was running away in embarrassment.

Petro had no intention of letting him escape. He created a spear using his divine power with the anger he had so far. threw it away

───!

A flash of light that was incomparable to when he was an enforcer penetrated everything. It was the moment when the body of the prison guard was pierced.

A red barrier blocked the gap between the prison guard and the window.

Whoa, whoa, a violent roar shook the dungeon. And the result was not the direction Petro hoped for.

A extinguished spear and a barrier of flames that remain and burn.

“…Kim Woo-jin!”

A black-haired man walked by.

“I heard from Durishma-sama that I killed a god, but this is unexpected again.”

I couldn’t kill him, so I had no choice but to keep him alive and become a god.

“What kind of cake is this?”

Kim Woo-jin laughed.

And Petro Koperk, who became a god, realized.

Even if he became a god, he would not be able to win against Kim Woo-jin even after he died.
