Episode 255. Ancient Evil God (3)
300 years ago, it was not a peaceful time like it is now.
Because it was a time when great and magnificent beings that did not exist in the present era walked the earth.
Compared to those beings, humans were just insects.
Humans called that being that made people shut their mouths just by looking at it a demon or evil spirit.
In the eyes of the evil spirits that walked this earth, humans were no better than fallen leaves that they stepped on on the road.
A single stomp of the foot can shatter mountains, and a single pass by can cause epidemics to spread.
No matter how great the hero was, it was like an herbivore attacking a wild beast.
They were beings of a different class, able to roam the universe beyond the heavens.
‘Looking back, I grew up in an era steeped in fear.’
Machia grew up in a more dangerous time than now.
As a member of the royal family, I grew up surrounded by gold and jade, so I didn’t really feel it.
That his country has been surrounded by people who cause natural disasters.
But the silver lining is that even these evil spirits have a lifespan.
I don’t know to what extent, but when he ascended to the throne, Machia collected the corpse and studied it.
‘After that, I no longer felt fear of evil spirits.’
After calling in all kinds of scholars and conducting research, it was confirmed that humans can inherit the power of the evil god.
Of course, it was confidential research and not disclosed to the public, but there was no shortage of progress.
Because he thought that if he inherited that power, he would be able to beat that woman to death.
Later, he accepts the power called ‘Demon King’ and ascends to the throne as the first Demon King.
‘Dantia… . Dantia Alighieri… !’
You have to be special.
There should never be anyone above me.
A female sorceress who defeated herself during an Imperial tactical exercise. Dantia Alighieri should not exist in this world.
After the big breakup that day, I tried to use my position to get revenge, but the woman was not discouraged at all.
Rather, as time passed, his activities surpassed those of the empire.
However, I could understand why she was called a great sage.
This is because they developed a magic technique that prevents the evil spirit from approaching.
‘Yeah… That was really great. But…!’
Isn’t it too much to become greater than yourself as the emperor?
I wish you would show some consideration. Whenever she is active, what happens to our great royal family?
Please, be careful. The townspeople are cheering for you, not me.
Now, whenever people talk about you, I feel like vomiting.
Even my daughter, Maya, began to admire that woman.
At that moment, the string of reason I had barely maintained snapped.
In the end, I ended up stripping my daughter of her throne, but I don’t really regret it.
because….
-There’s nothing wrong with you, brother. It’s Maya’s fault for ignoring the warning.
Because Machia only had one brother to talk to.
Rodan, that guy, unlike Mela, didn’t go overboard with the topic.
He was a good guy who stood in his own position, followed what was said, and did not look down on his own position.
The guy below you is good, the guy who tries to bump shoulders with you is evil.
Because that was Macia’s way of thinking.
-Haha! I’m always on your side, hyung!
He was a guy I missed quite a bit, perhaps because he was my only family.
After the reincarnation, Rodan’s thoughts were often on my mind.
Even though he was reborn as the Demon King by accepting the power of the evil god, he acted exactly as he said.
-Brother, although we are parting ways now… someday, my descendants will help you.
The guy’s loyalty was inseparable.
Is this what people usually call friendship? When I experienced it firsthand, it didn’t feel bad.
Rodan, Machia still loved him.
As the only family in my life.
That’s why I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when I met my younger brother’s descendants.

[Kuaaaahh …
A tremendous scream echoed from the zombie demon’s mouth.
The roar of that huge body, with its throat ripped open, was not only deafening, but seemed to vibrate the space.
“With that voice!”
A purple beam of destruction extends deep into the zombie demon’s throat.
The guy’s entire body is burned by Diora’s overwhelming destructive power.
The pain Machia must be going through must be unimaginable, as it was like having a flamethrower fired directly into her throat.
“Really…. Your endurance is so damn good!”
The firepower that was being shoved into my throat right now was the same firepower that Diora had shot into the sky last time.
A monstrous destructive power that would turn villages, mountains, and everything into flat ground if it were shot at the ground.
You’re probably putting it inside your body from a distance like this.
But look at this. The guy’s shape is still the same.
[Kaaaaaaah! Kehehehehehehe…!!]
It’s clear that he’s taking damage, but his body is still in check.
Any monster other than dragon-class will be annihilated without a trace with just one hit from this.
It is possible to maintain one’s form even when struck equally by everyone.
It was indeed the body of an evil god who was once the object of fear in this world.
“Ugh… The backlash has already arrived.”
The risk that comes as if it had been waiting for the moment the firepower release ends.
Since it was released in exchange for reducing all magical power and stamina to 0, the body becomes dull.
My vision is blurry because I feel like I might collapse at any moment.
This means I won’t be able to move a single step today… but I still achieved my goal.
[Keuk… Kwaaaaah!!]
Machia writhes, clutching her stomach from a massive fatal wound.
If we were to compare it to a human being, it would be so painful that it would be difficult to even speak, as if one’s internal organs were burning alive.
“Ugh… What happened?”
“Ah… I remembered. That bastard Radon!”
Starting with Jenny and Ruska, they began to wake up.
As soon as he wakes up, he starts getting on my nerves.
“I woke up but my body still feels hot.”
“I wish you had been a little more gentle, sir.”
Then Angela and Nevia also woke up.
Everyone’s tolerance to the poison had grown stronger than before, and they were able to open their eyes in just 10 minutes.
“Ouch, oh, oh….”
Finally, Mirona, Mary, and Lyman also woke up.
In reality, Lyman was pretending to faint, so there were no aftereffects.
As a result, everyone seemed fine because it was only a superficial attack.
“Gyaaaah! My back…, my back feels like it’s going to break!”
Except for Mary, who suddenly lets out a loud moan.
I can’t imagine what Lyman stabbed him in the back with when he knocked him out.
“Hehehe~ Dude! My back hurts! Give me a pat!”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have the strength right now.”
“Huh? Why all of a sudden?”
I pointed to the huge thing in front of me.
“I gave you a room while you were sleeping.”
The group turns their gaze in that direction.
There was a zombie demon that was screaming in maddening pain.
And it was only now that the guy could finally open his mouth.
[Why… Why did you do this to me! Descendant of Rodan!]
He looked quite shocked after being hit in the back of the head by me.
It seemed like he truly believed in me as a descendant of Rodan.
[Inside my body…, the vital organs have disappeared! My magical power is less than half!]
When the guy complained, I snickered and said.
“Yes, I am your younger brother’s descendant. But what can I do about it? Other than that, I have no other connection to you.”
[Wh… ,what!]
Makia is shocked once again by my appearance, even my speech style having changed.
Although I didn’t have much strength left to speak, I snickered at the guy who was still rambling.
“You don’t have to feel particularly wronged. You’ve been defrauding the entire nation.”
Even when he was disguised as Emperor Carmine.
300 years ago, he killed his own sister and then declared in front of the emperor that he would avenge her.
“Did you think you wouldn’t get hurt by something like that?”
[I can’t believe it…! How could you, a descendant of Rodan, my only brother!!]
He is such a funny guy.
Are you still talking about my brother in this situation?
But judging from the fact that he said ‘his only brother’, it seems like he had a very special relationship with that brother named Rodan.
That’s why it’s even funnier.
“Just because I am your younger brother’s descendant, do I have to inherit your will? It is because you are so narrow-minded that you cannot surpass the great sage.”
[That can’t be… That can’t be!!]
“So, remember this well. A guy who starts out as a fraud will eventually go down in fraud.”
[Eww!!]
Red eyes light up in the guy’s skeletal face.
At the same time, it releases powerful magical power and rushes towards me.
Even though it has been reduced to less than half, it is still quite a powerful force. However, this is a level that they can easily deal with.
“Whoever wants it!”
[Ouch!]
Then a huge figure flew in from behind and kicked Makia in the mouth, sending her rolling on the ground.
The thing that helped me when I couldn’t move was a collection of scrap metal.
A robot… to be exact, a giant golem made of metal.
As far as I know, there’s only one person who can control a golem of that size.
“Brother-in-law! Are you okay?”
The lid on the golem’s chest opens. Inside is the Bayman Dreadnought that controls the golem.
“You always pop up when I forget.”
“I’m a little late in collecting these metals! What the hell is that monster?”
“It’s complicated to explain, but could you please take me inside for a bit?”
“Oh, of course!”
I was placed in Golem’s hands and placed in the seat next to Bayman’s cockpit.
Although your body is safe, you must not let your guard down.
Because he was not a guy who could withstand Diora’s rays and get knocked down by a mere Golem kick.
[I’ll kill you all! All of you!!]
The guy who got up again lets out a scream stained with rage.
Then, the giant hand of the God of Destruction descended from the sky and appeared.
But don’t worry.
“I hit that damn guy once, so he’s probably really weak.”
“Can you tell me without saying ‘probably’?”
“Anyway, I only trust you now, Lyman.”
Kookookookook!-
At that moment, a tremendous pressure was transmitted from the hand coming down from the sky.
It felt like an invisible sack of rice was pressing down on my head. Because of that, the other kids couldn’t move their bodies either.
It was the field domination that was a characteristic of the God of Destruction that also appeared in the main story.
Slows the movement of all beings except for its own vessel.
Of course, the only person who could counter this was Lyman.
“Have a nice trip. Definitely.”
“of course.”
The moment he heard Mirona’s words, Lyman immediately flew into the sky.
How can you fly without wings?
The other kids, except for Mirona and me, were bewildered by that sight.
And then I witnessed an even more shocking sight.
Lyman transformed into a demonic form in the air as if he no longer needed to hide.
“uh…?”
“That’s….”
“Ninja… no, demon?”
“Haaah….”
“….”
Everyone’s faces turned blank as if they had lost their souls.
And when Lyman collided with the Hand of the Destroyer, the pressure was gone.
I understood because it was the same in the main story, but there was something else I needed to focus on now.
“How about you look ahead instead of looking above?”
What I said was not wrong, because Machia, who had come to her senses, was charging again.
[You guys!!]
Makia, who had come close to my nose, swung her fist at me.
The attack was so strong that it made the ground cave in, but they were able to dodge it by kicking the ground.
Bayman also skillfully controlled the golem and avoided it.
Even though I couldn’t move my body, I was glad I sat in the Golem’s cockpit in advance.
[There’s no escape!]
Then the guy shot a ray of light with his eyes towards the sky.
It reached the gap where the God of Destruction descended, and countless monsters began to pour out from within.
The winged skeleton-shaped monsters all began to aim towards us.
“You dare touch my brother-in-law?”
With one swing of the Golem’s arm, the monsters’ upper bodies burst apart.
Bayman, was this guy this sturdy?
Well, whatever… .
“Don’t worry, brother-in-law! I will protect you.”
“Thank you so much. I just happened to be unable to move my body.”
“Is that true?”
“Ah… I can’t even speak anymore….”
Is it because I used Diora’s rays more powerfully than when I first shot them into the sky?
My eyes began to close little by little.
The fight has just begun, can I just fall asleep like this?
“Brother-in-law, you don’t have to force yourself to open your eyes. I don’t feel any magic from you.”
“….”
“I don’t know what happened, but rest assured. My Alighieri cadets are never weak.”
I never thought such words would come out of the mouth of this cornered loser.
Compared to the main story, the characters were severely distorted.
But whatever he said, Bayman was right.
“In the end, do I have no choice but to believe…?”
My eyes slowly began to close.
Soon, my vision became completely dark.
I left the rest to him and eventually lost consciousness.
