Chapter 272. The End of a Tragedy Pt. 8
“I already knew that those idiots had a plan and weaseled their way into those around me,” said the Demon King, laughing as he held Lee Jun-Kyeong by the collar. “It’s laughable. To think they wanted to stop me...”
The corners of his mouth twitched even more. Even with his face melted off, the corners of his mouth were visible, curling up. There were even strangely fluttering balls of light that served as eyes.
“To think I would help the humans.”
It was at this moment that Lee Jun-Kyeong was certain.
‘The Demon King I thought I knew...’
The Demon King that he had read about in the book. The Demon King he had once admired.
‘...doesn’t exist.’
Now, there was only the Demon King, who had truly become a monster. Lee Jun-Kyeong closed his eyes tightly.
Cough, cough.
His entire body ached as if he had needles piercing him all over. It was a side effect of driving all of his powers of the source at once. He had no other choice, as he had been in a situation where even pouring all of his powers of the source into the binding hadn’t been enough. He had been forced to drive all of his mana into it as well without any ability to save some aside for his physical condition.
His body couldn’t bear what he had done.
Crack.
His fingers had slowly begun to regain feeling. However, that was the extent of his recovery.The source of this content can be connected to n0v3lb!n★
“You really are impressive,” the Demon King said, looking straight into Lee Jun-Kyeong’s eyes.
“N...o...”
From the Demon King’s hand, mana began to flow into Lee Jun-Kyeong.
“I never thought that such a masterpiece would be born. It was worth holding on for eons.”
His mana swept throughout Lee Jun-Kyeong’s entire body. Although he tried to resist somehow by activating the mana stream, the Demon King just became colder.
“Did you forget? I’m the one who created that,” he said in an even more mocking tone. “There have been many of you who’ve reached Gehenna before.”
The Demon King’s mana began to circulate forcefully through Lee Jun-Kyeong. Although he was in excruciating pain, the Demon King didn’t even allow him to scream.
“However, there has never been one that knew so much of the truth...” The Demon King laughed. “There has never been a you who wielded the powers of the source to this degree.”
His voice buzzed in Lee Jun-Kyeong’s ears. “You’re perfect. A perfect being, born to use as my vessel.”
“You...” gasped Lee Jun-Kyeong.
“That damned curse of eternal regression. I’ll throw it away.”
Lee Jun-Kyeong tried to say something else, but it was as if he was talking to a brick wall.
“With your body... I will recreate everything. I will be the perfect God. The only God.”
Light continued to emanate from the Demon King’s eyes as his body began to sag, little by little.
“EEEUAGHHHHHHH!”
On the other hand, Lee Jun-Kyeong let out a guttural scream. A feeling of immense helplessness engulfed him. It was useless trying to resist.
–Thank you, my dear nephew.
***
“Gasp...gasp...”
Lee Jun-Kyeong sucked in the air as hard as he could.
–Your resistance is quite strong. It looks like even your willpower is incredible.
The Demon King’s voice buzzing in his head made it feel as though his skull was splitting in half. As Lee Jun-Kyeong tore at his head with his hands, he shouted, “GET OUT!”
However, no matter what he did, the Demon King’s voice grew louder and clearer.
–It’s useless.
It was the voice that he had heard when he had returned to the past.
–This is a contract.
The voice that said the contract would be fulfilled. As the voice of the Sky of the Apocalypse burrowed directly into his brain, Lee Jun-Kyeong sat down and got on his knees. He tried to fight back by drawing on his powers of the source.
–It’s useless.
However, the Demon King matched him in turn. No, the Demon King’s reserves of the powers of the source were incomparably stronger than that of Lee Jun-Kyeong’s. Moreover, his understanding was greater.
‘There’s not a single...’
Lee Jun-Kyeong was no match for him.
–Have you noticed it now?
"Just how...how have you...”
–Don't worry, dear nephew.
He could hear peals of laughter intermixed with the Demon King’s words.
–I will take your body and become a God that will correct every wrong.
It was a strong yet crazy voice.
–I will erase the entire world and recreate it for you. The fair world you so longed for.
The Demon King whispered sweetly as the feeling throughout Lee Jun-Kyeong’s body gradually disappeared.
–Of course, Heimdall and Athena will be resurrected.
This wasn’t a side effect of his overuse of the powers of the source. The Demon King was devouring him. However, there was still a small part of the Demon King that held onto his own flesh. Because they were still connected, he could still cut the connection off.
‘No...’
Revenge.
He had to take revenge.
But how?
‘How... How would I do that...’
There were questions but no answers. Just for a moment, he wanted to rest and then think again.
“Mr. Lee!”
Right as Lee Jun-Kyeong was about to lose consciousness, he heard an incredible voice.
“Mr. Lee! Wake up! If this continues, we’re going to die!”
It was Jeong In-Chang’s voice.
“Mr. Jeong...?”
Lee Jun-Kyeong slowly lifted his head from his collapsed state.
“How...!”
Right over there, Jeong In-Chang... Jeong In-Chang was definitely standing there. However, although it was Jeong In-Chang’s voice, his appearance was different.
“...!”
His body was bumpy, filled with swollen muscles, and his eyes glowed red.
From everything about him, even down to his bright-red skin, the figure with Jeong In-Chang’s voice wasn’t human. Right as Lee Jun-Kyeong was bewildered, he heard Jeong In-Chang’s voice again, “It’s a little difficult to explain! Just look ahead!”
Lee Jun-Kyeong raised himself slightly and looked at where Jeong In-Chang was indicating.
BANG!
After doing so, he started hearing noises that he hadn’t noticed until now.
“He’s already lost a lot of vitality! Hold on with whatever means possible!”
“We have to hold on until the Underdog wakes up!”
As he heard the sounds of explosions alongside the familiar voices of his companions, Lee Jun-Kyeong shouted again, “Just how...!”
The scene before his eyes, which had only just become clear, became blurry once again. No, it was only that it seemed blurry.
“How...!”
The tears flowing down his face had made it difficult for Lee Jun-Kyeong to distinguish the figures. The ones he saw briefly, or at least those that were fighting, were clearly not human. However, he was sure of it.
“Why...! Why did you come?!”
Those figures were his companions.
Flash!
“We came to save you.”
With a flash of light, a gigantic figure who was wrapped entirely in sparking bolts of electricity appeared before his eyes.
“Because we thought that you’d be lazing about alone.”
“Zeus...!”
Although his appearance was different, Lee Jun-Kyeong was convinced just by the sound and tone of his voice. It was Zeus.
"How...!” Lee Jun-Kyeong shouted as Zeus became a current of electricity once again and headed off somewhere.
BOOM!
With more explosions, Lee Jun-Kyeong heard another voice.
“Stand up.”
Before him was a massive, solid back that was clad in an enormous rainbow-colored armor.
“Only you can take the Demon King down.”
Lee Jun-Kyeong didn’t know what to call him. Should he call him the same as he did before? Or something else?
“Whew.”
In his confusion, Lee Jun-Kyeong stood up, taking a deep breath.
“Okay.”
He wouldn’t decide on what to say yet. After all of this was over, he would talk to him, and only then did he feel like he would be able to decide what to say.
‘Hyung, no...’
Lee Jun-Kyeong finally stood up, wiping his eyes with his hand as the whole view of what was before him became clear.
“Everyone.”
They were his companions. The companions who should have been waiting for him outside of Gehenna were here. Looking up, the red moon in the sky served as proof that they were still in Gehenna. Lee Jun-Kyeong didn’t know how it had happened.
“You bastards...!”
However, the Demon King, with his melted, deformed body, was fighting his companions.
Lee Jun-Kyeong finally continued with what he had wanted to say, “It’s time for revenge.”
A long spear appeared in his hand. Surtr had now become a spear that would pierce the Demon King.
Flicker.
Flames enveloped Surtr. However, they weren’t red, blue, white, or even black. The flames on the spear couldn’t be expressed in color, now truly having become the spark of genesis.
