00943 If You Change, One. ————————————————– ———————-=
‘A messenger came?’
After ending the communication, Kim Yu-hyeon’s face was frowned all the way until she took off the half-covered robe. Although she listened to her explanation to some extent, she still felt that it was sudden.
‘Why did the devil send me a message… . ah!’
It was then. Just as Kim Yu-hyeon thought of a possibility, the quiet space suddenly became cluttered. To be more precise, there was suddenly a loud commotion beyond the window.
As I listened carefully, I could not make out the voices of several people shouting at me at once, shouting at me to go away, or shouting at me for something. And not long after, the commotion gradually died down and the sound of footsteps continued walking down the hallway outside the door.
After a while, a polite knock was heard and the door opened. A man came inside, bowed, and gestured towards the back with a clearly nervous look on his face. Then, someone with a weapon pointed at as many as fifteen people leisurely enters the room.
“haha… .”
Even in this bloody atmosphere, the old man did not lose his composure. Instead, he smiles without hesitation and gently strokes his long white beard. And he opened his mouth with a light greeting.
“nice to meet you. Brain Emperor.”
“you… ?”
“or not… . Should I say Kim Yu-hyun, the older brother of user Kim Soo-hyun?”
“… … !”
*
Although it was noisy for a moment, the room soon became quiet again. This is because Kim Yu-hyeon defeated all the groups of users who came in together. She initially refused, saying that her man could be dangerous, but eventually she took a step back and said she would wait outside the door. Kim Yoo-hyun didn’t even stop at that.
Only after the series of situations had calmed down, Kim Yu-hyun and the white-haired old man were able to sit across from each other and talk.
“First, let me introduce myself. “My name is Melinus, and I am undeservedly called a prophet in the Southern Continent.”
Kim Yu-hyeon’s first impression upon seeing the old man greeting him with a soft voice was that he was a wise man. Rather than being noble, I would say she is wise and kind-hearted. She was only what she seemed on the outside, but on the inside she was nothing more or less than an old person with some kind of agenda.
“Of course, the real person is said to be Belial, one of the fourteen demon lords who serve Satan… .”
At that moment, Kim Yu-hyeon’s eyes suddenly narrowed. She was guessing, and she was right. It makes sense that she came because the devil had something to do rather than the southern continent, which had no contact whatsoever.
“It’s nice to have some guts. “I even thought about jumping into the enemy camp alone.”
Since I knew the other person’s identity, naturally no nice words were said.
“well. I was confident that if I could get in, he would send me off in peace. Rather, the question was whether or not one could enter.”
However, Melinus accepted without changing his expression.
“I went to talk to him, but I didn’t want to be attacked the moment I saw him. So, after wondering if there was a good way to ease their guard, we decided to show sincerity on our part.”
“s*x?”
“yes. We brought some of the prisoners we were holding with us. So, Northern Continent users. haha.”
“… … .”
Kim Yu-hyeon remained silent in a voice that sounded a bit friendly. But his mind was spinning horribly.
‘When I say ‘some’, it means that there are quite a few prisoners currently being held… . If so, there is a high possibility that you have already figured out most of the things.’
A thought crossed his mind that he might have given priority to bringing in those who responded faithfully to the relationship between him and his younger brother, but it was something that could not be helped.
Melinus let out a short sigh as the other person’s complexion didn’t seem to have changed at all. But she still spoke with a smile on her face.
“what… . great. “It doesn’t seem like there are any good feelings between us, so it would be better to get straight to the point.”
“thank god. “At least I’m quick to notice.”
“Then let me tell you straight. User Kim Soo-hyun is still alive. He even regained consciousness.”
“so.”
Even when Kim Yu-hyeon heard it himself, it was a surprisingly cool voice. Could you say it’s a tone of voice that says, “So what should I do?”
It was the same with Melinus. As if this reaction was unexpected, his generous face changed for the first time.
“hmm… . “Did you know?”
“You don’t know that. so? “My brother is alive, so let’s exchange him for a zero code?”
“yes?”
“If we let it go like that, are we going to join forces and wipe out the angels? ah. “Has this gone too far?”
This time it was Melinus’ turn to close his mouth. She suddenly seemed to be speechless, and after stroking her beard for a long time, she opened her mouth with an expressionless face.
“Does that mean you shouldn’t even dream? Or are you saying that you won’t move as we intend?”
“both.”
The cold voice continued without a moment of hesitation.
Although she spoke as if she were laughing at the other person, Kim Yu-hyun actually felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff. Since Kim had already been rejected, should I say that he showed his courage openly? In other words, it could be seen as a kind of warning not to risk your younger brother in negotiations.
“haha. okay. This is so… .”
Then he looked troubled for a moment.
Melinus smiles faintly.
“Then how about I ask you a favor?”
“what?”
After saying that, Melinus clasped his hands and gently bowed. As if he were about to say something very important.
Kim Yu-hyeon, who had reflexively gathered his magic power, slowly lowered his hand when his opponent showed no further action.
“May I tell you a story that might interest the Emperor?”
“I don’t really want to hear it.”
“is that so? But you might be wondering why angels don’t intervene directly on the Hole Plane?”
“!”
Kim Yu-hyeon couldn’t just ignore these words. This is because it is the biggest unanswered question I have had for a long time. It’s not that there aren’t any guesses, but it was worth listening to at least once.
“f*ck your brain.”
When I reluctantly agreed, Melinus grinned as if he knew that would happen.
“what… . There isn’t a very grand reason. However, there are no particular restrictions. Rather, would you say it is an extremely human reason?”
“Just say what you have to say.”
“Of course. Because it’s scary.”
“Because you’re scared?”
Kim Yu-hyeon stared at Melinus with strange eyes. She seemed to know, but to say she was scary was too broad.
“Angels don’t come out because they’re afraid of you?”
“That’s not entirely wrong, but it’s a little bit out of focus. “The angels are not so much afraid of us as they are afraid of the power they will lose by coming to this world.”
“for a moment. What does that mean? So, are you saying the angel is worried that his power will run out after fighting you?”
“Exactly. “Do you know that the angel camp suffered a record-breaking defeat in the battle against us demons?”
Kim Yu-hyeon managed to nod despite the complexity. She once said something similar to Kim Soo-hyun when he first revealed his secret.
“Then it will be easier to talk about. To put it bluntly, it is safe to say that the angel currently intervening in this hall plane is the last force in heaven.”
“Last power?”
“That’s right. In other words, it is the last bastion. In fact, even if we completely disappear here, it won’t have any impact that will turn the tide. It may be painful, but since we have been winning continuously, it is okay to lose once in a while. Oh, of course, zero code is out of the question.”
“then… .”
“But angels are different. It is no exaggeration to say that if the angels appear on the Hall Plane and are completely annihilated, the heavenly world will be empty of power on that day. In other words, it’s going to be difficult either way. That’s why I’m trying my best to protect the zero code and somehow avoid coming out. “This is the exact background for which you were summoned to this world.”
“… … .”
“Then, may I change the subject for a moment and ask you an important question?”
“… try.”
In response to the sudden question, Kim Yu-hyeon was barely able to maintain the attitude she had shown for the first time. I felt like I knew what Melinus was trying to do by giving me this information.
‘It’s obvious. Anyway, the conclusion is that we should join hands and drive out the angels.’
It is never too late to check the facts later.
Kim Yu-hyeon, who thought so, calmed down the confusion and listened.
“If the Emperor gave up the Zero Code, what would happen next?”
“well. “After seducing them with sweet words and getting them, wouldn’t they use the zero code to wipe out angels and humans?”
at that time.
“pooh.”
As soon as Kim Yu-hyeon spoke somewhat sarcastically, Melinus burst out laughing.
“Oh, sorry. What you just said was so unexpected… . no. Honestly, it was a bit funny. Think about it. Why do we use such precious things on mere humans? “Then what about heaven?”
I hurriedly waved my hand, but the giggling continued.
“Hmm. You made a mistake. Please understand. Anyway, it’s simple. “The angels will immediately withdraw to heaven, and so will we devils.”
“what?”
“It’s not a lie. The Zero Code is the only key that can open the heavens. Now that it’s in our hands, can we really keep quiet? In any case, they can’t abandon their hometown, so they have no choice but to return even if they don’t want to. In other words, there will no longer be any intervention by external forces on the Hole Plane, and as a result, only humans will remain.”
“so. “Isn’t this ultimately asking you to hand over the zero code?”
“In conclusion, yes.”
“under. Are you telling me to trust you? “Are you just listening to this?”
It was then.
“It wouldn’t be unreasonable for you to not believe it.”
Melinus, who had been leaning slightly, suddenly straightened his posture.
“But if you miss this opportunity… . I don’t know how long I will have to wait again. Thousands of years, no. “It may take tens of thousands of years.”
Speaking calmly, he unclasped his hands and slowly lowered his arms.
“The enemy of my enemy is my comrade… . They say there is no need to fight like this… . I won’t say things like this. “You probably know it anyway.”
Then he solemnly bowed so that his forehead touched the table.
“So, I sincerely ask you to do so. Please give us the zero code.”
Kim Yu-hyeon, who had never thought that the devil would bow down to him head on, couldn’t help but be taken aback.
But Melinus’s words were not over yet.
“Of course, Satan fully understands your anxious feelings. So, if you don’t believe me, it would be better to make you believe it.”
“So, Satan presented a total of five conditions.”
He said so,
“First, I will turn all creation into nothingness. “There will be no demons left, and we will send them all back to where they came from.”
“And of the remaining Archdemons and Fourteen Demon Lords, all but one are willing to become hostages to deliver the Zero Code to the Great Realm.”
“Also, if you are concerned about the angel, we will take care of that as well. You will not receive any help during this process, all you have to do is stay still.”
“The safe return of all prisoners, including my younger brother, will of course be achieved.”
The words poured out like a waterfall.
“If you still don’t believe me, you can set the conditions and tell me. “As long as the opinion is not too unreasonable, I am willing to accept it.”
It was truly an incredible sound.
Of course, the liberation of all hostages, including Kim Soo-hyun,
Eliminate the demons,
I will become a hostage myself,
If you want, I’ll take care of the angel too.
Moreover, if you still don’t believe it, present the conditions yourself.
For a moment, Kim Yu-hyeon doubted her ears, wondering if she had heard something wrong. To that extent, her demonic condition was extremely unconventional.
Since there was no need to bend any further, they showed maximum sincerity and made concessions.
