Conquering the Other World (4)
‘What? ‘That’s it.’
Questions about the unknown.
Right now, only such thoughts were floating around in the mind of the Infinite Demon.
[Kwoaaa—!]
“Kill!”
[You rotten corpses! I’ll throw you back into purgatory!]
[I will offer this world to the King of Death!]
A great war was currently going on on the Great Plains in front of the castle he had made his base.
Skirmishes between high-ranking demons and the undead, who could destroy the entire surrounding area with a single blow, were taking place everywhere, so it was a fierce battle that made you sweat no matter where you looked.
But none of that caught Muhan’s eyes as he stood on the castle wall.
Because there was only one thing that caught his attention right away.
[Are you the Infinite Great Devil?]
Something that vaguely looks down on the world from above the head of the great general.
It was an incomprehensible being that looked like a nightmare incarnate, wearing a bizarre mask and radiating an abyss-like energy from its entire body.
[what? What on earth are you? How can an impurity like you exist in this world?]
The distance between them was quite far, but the limitations of space meant nothing between them.
Faced with him, Muhan was able to instinctively realize this.
That it was never born in this world.
‘I was just wondering, until the sorrow and destruction fell. ‘I can’t believe it was real.’
Although he has now come out of hell and has no choice but to be bound by various restrictions, he was once an absolute being who observed the world from a supreme position.
There was no need to look closely at how heterogeneous ‘that’ was.
‘A monster that was born in another world and grew its power by devouring the karma and divinity of the dead.’
The force was reminiscent of the ‘Great Devil of Death’, which once reigned supreme among the great devils of Hell.
No, it might be closer to the alien invader who murdered him and stole his existence…
[hehehehe, do you mean me?]
At that time, as if responding to his words, the incarnation of death floating in the sky softly opened its mouth.
[The name of this body is Hannibal Strauss. King of all lions, end of the world—.]
A self-introduction that seems filled with resentment for some reason.
However, before I could even understand the emotions contained within, the following words completely swept away such trivial doubts.
[—This is the death of you demons.]
[···cheeky.]
The corner of Infinite’s mouth twitched at that arrogant declaration.
I know very well that the other person is someone that cannot be ignored.
But he is also the one standing at the peak of this devore.
Isn’t this a position where you absolutely have to kneel?
Additionally, I didn’t really like the idea that the other person was suggesting ‘death’.
It might not have been the case in the past, but the strongest person representing the Great Devils now was definitely himself.
[Huh, good. There is no need to talk any longer. I don’t know how someone like you came to this world, but it’s better.]
The blood-red tattoos and red eyes engraved on Infinite’s pitch-black body slowly began to glow.
It is a luxury to conserve strength in the face of such a powerful opponent.
I had to do my best from the beginning without leaving anything out.
Paaa—!
The red light emanating from his body shot high into the sky.
In the aftermath, the space shook and a strong storm swept across the battlefield.
[Hoo?]
Hans did not stop it.
He had already realized that his current body was nothing more than a terminal.
‘There’s no point in destroying the terminal. To make sure we deal with him, we have to hit the main body.’
And just as he expected.
From Noble mtl dot com
In a crack high in the sky split by red light—something huge began to slowly reveal itself, splitting the space.
An enormous eyeball looking down at the ground through gray clouds.
Even though the distance was enormous, numerous rings filled with tiny eyeballs were rotating dizzyingly around the eyes, which were large enough to ignore perspective.
‘···Indeed, the true body was hidden in a crevice in the world. There is no such thing as cosmic horror.’
As he expressed such sentiments, a voice like a revelation from heaven echoed throughout the battlefield.
[This body is infinite! Eternity itself, something that cannot end with death! I will destroy you right now and prove to the world that infinity is above death!]
The bodies of those who were relatively low-class stumbled and collapsed due to the overwhelming presence.
Some, whose resistance was weakened due to injuries, were crushed to the ground and crushed to death.
But neither Hans nor Wuhan paid any attention to such trivial matters.
‘Anyway, if we just deal with that guy, everything will be over.’
Right after a common thought passed through both of their minds.
————!
With a silent shock, the air between the two was completely broken.
Thanks to the world’s restorative power, it did not take long to recover, but this was because the space could not overcome the aftermath of the collision of the nearly infinite energy emanating from both sides.
‘This shouldn’t be a simple power struggle.’
I was able to find out with just one fight.
The power that the Infinite Great Devil can mobilize is as infinite as its name suggests.
If we continue like this, the world will be destroyed sooner than we can subdue him.
‘Well, I’m quite confident in my strength fighting skills. ‘That’s not what’s important right now.’
Afterwards, as several more collisions occurred, black energy gradually began to spread from Hans’ body.
Dark magic mixed with the power of the abyss.
It resonated with the deep death that spread throughout this battlefield… no, permeated the entire world, and slowly eroded the world.
‘···This is the first time I’ve received such a positive response. How many people must have died… ‘It makes no sense to lose under these optimal conditions.’
The battlefield was filled with the energy of death, which gave endless power to the dead and eternal rest to others.
The undead that had been destroyed instantly returned to their normal state, and the dead demons stood up and turned the tip of their swords in the opposite direction, but that phenomenon was merely an additional effect of the exercise of power.
[You! This···?!]
The death of the world was concentrated on one point.
A deadly essence of death that can affect not only living things but also abstract concepts.
Feeling a sense of crisis at the mysterious flow that had reached the realm of power, the Infinite Great Devil spun countless rings even faster and opened his eyes.
‘It controls the karma of death that overflows in this world.’
Between powers, the stronger power swallows up the weaker power.
Maybe, just maybe, it was a very unlikely thing, but if his ‘death’ surpasses his ‘infinity’…
[Funny! It’s impossible!]
That might not happen, but I couldn’t take that risk.
In the end, he quickly took out his secret move that he had been saving up.
[Infinity is eternity! Be crushed by the endless space and time and die!]
A strange pattern filled with a huge pupil rotated in an infinite spiral.
An absolute sentence that no one can resist because it is closely intertwined with the laws of this world.
It is a power that made even the Great Evil of Eternity, who possesses the deceptive power of stopping time, give up on dealing with him.
It was a miracle that allowed him to survive until the end while other great demons were being killed by the ‘Angel of Destruction’ who suddenly stormed into Hell.
A pillar of light that started from the snow in the sky poured down on the invaders from another dimension.

“Whoa, whoo. “Have we finally arrived?”
McCarthy, whose whole body was covered in blood, staggered and walked.
But all the while, his eyes were fixed on the large, richly decorated door located in the very heart of the castle.
“at las···.”
The war between undead and demons did not only take place in the plains.
Since the numbers on both sides were so large and the devil side preferred to attack face-to-face rather than Mercury, the castle at the center of the battle naturally became engulfed in battle.
The undead did not necessarily point their swords at the humans inside the castle first, but they were not soft enough to tolerate the enemy who attacked first.
Infiltrating the castle, which was engulfed in such chaos, was very easy for McCarthy, who was not only human but also had control over some of the undead.
‘It also became more difficult as we got deeper into the center.’
At first, I was able to pass by simply disguising myself as a wounded soldier by wrapping a bandage around my left arm and eye, but later I had no choice but to fight directly.
And in the process, McCarthy was able to keenly realize how great the power he had.
Quang!
He walked slowly through the broken door.
Not only did he break through the path and break down the door himself, but he was escorted by undead security guards who politely escorted him.
It was the end of a group of people who once lived under Daeseongju, enjoyed pleasure, and committed evil deeds.
“···Lapua!”
McCarthy finally entered the room.
I ground my teeth quietly as I found the target of my revenge standing at the far end of the window, looking out.
Although I already knew I was here through my soul-seeing eyes, I couldn’t control the emotions that were boiling up as I faced my enemy right in front of me like this.
“Tsk, some bug crawled all the way here.”
This is a situation where a thug that you have never seen comes right in front of you, leading a bunch of undead.
However, Lapua only glanced at them and clicked his tongue lightly as if it was no big deal.
“I didn’t complete my mission properly, so it’s worth dying for. “But I can’t forgive you for turning into an intruder’s dog and pointing a knife at me.”
Although they had been moving like hands and feet following his orders, his expression as he looked at them was extremely cold.
“Treason is joint responsibility. When this situation is over, we should hold a festival with their families. “It’s right after something big happened, so I need to get all my acquaintances involved and make grand preparations.”
“···Huh, they just became undead. “My body is just a doll and I have no will left, so you’re going to punish me for that?”
“hmm? “What does that matter?”
McCarthy unconsciously made an excuse, but Lapua just showed an attitude that made it seem like he didn’t really care.
And right after he slightly tilted his head and his gaze turned towards that direction.
“Now wouldn’t it be time to worry about other people?”
“Ugh!”
McCarthy had no choice but to fall face down on the floor due to the strong pressure from above.
I tried my best to get up, but I could only barely raise my upper body.
If it weren’t for his left eye and arm, he would have been crushed and turned into a handful of blood.
Just like the undead who had been protecting him all along, they have now disappeared everywhere.
“Hoo? It’s an unusual power. “Is that a proof of your oath?”
“Ugh…!”
Lapua came in front of McCarthy, who was barely holding on, and looked at him with interest, with pupils showing rotating strange patterns.
It was an eye very similar to the giant eye floating in the sky.
‘I thought this was an opportunity while Muhan was away. I can’t believe it was like this even without the devil…’
Demon Contractor.
It was a being that had been granted part of its power by the devil through a contract.
Also, it was quite natural that the person who signed a contract with the Great Devil, the pinnacle of this world… and the ‘Infinite Great Devil’, could not have been at an ordinary level.
McCarthy, who had just acquired this ability, couldn’t even dare to touch it.
It was his mistake to act hastily, blinded by revenge.
“It looks like you have some grudge against me.”
In fact, there are probably fewer people in this world who don’t have a grudge against him.
It was a position that had no choice in the first place.
The name is the Great Devil’s Contractor.
“Still, I think it’s worth praising you for coming all the way to me like this. And it seems like it has a lot to do with this commotion.”
His shoe stomped hard on McCarthy’s head, who was barely able to raise his upper body.
Then he began slowly rubbing the floor and making mocking comments in a calm tone.
“But that ends here. Because no matter what the identity of the devil you have contracted with is, Infinite can never win. That’s true even if it’s death or eternity in a story.”
A hundred years.
It was a time when the Great Demon of Infinity reigned supreme in this world.
The karma and fear he had accumulated so far were literally beyond imagination.
Even if they returned now, it would not be easy to narrow the gap.
“hehehehe, if you crawl on the floor and ask for forgiveness right now, they might especially let you live? Of course, you will have to gouge out both eyes and cut off both arms, but then you can enjoy a luxury you have never experienced before…”
“Tsk! f*ck you, you bald eunuch.”
“······.”
Yeokrin had no choice but to give up to make a contract with the Great Devil.
Lapua’s expression became cold when he touched it.
“···Okay, it looks like you don’t want to die gracefully. Then, you should do as you wish.”
A fierce glow flashed in his eyes as he slowly raised one hand.
I was thinking of cutting off both arms first.
So that you can regret seeing the results of your arrogant words and actions.
And next…
“hmm?”
“uh?”
But at that moment.
A single question filled with questions came out of both people’s mouths at the same time.
“What is this!”
Shocked, Lapua stretched out his hand again, but nothing happened.
No, it wasn’t just that.
The pupil that had been rotating with a bizarre pattern had become an ordinary eye, and the power that had suppressed McCarthy had completely disappeared.
“Now, wait! Infinite! “This is a breach of contract!”
This power is a power that Lapua obtained by sacrificing ‘his everything’ to the Great Demon of Infinity.
It was everything about him that should never disappear so easily.
This is especially true because I gave up a lot of things I already had, including my natural abilities and physical abilities, in exchange for the down payment.
Sigh—
However, the current situation is nothing short of despair for him.
“I’m not sure what happened.”
It was a moment that someone had been longing for.
“Do you think the situation has changed?”
McCarthy slowly stood up and slowly walked forward, his obsidian-like left eye shining.
Stretching out his left hand, where black light flickers.
“Tsk, stop! “I am Lapua, the great castle lord. How dare you do that!”
Lapua’s face was distorted and he tried to use his powers again, but the situation did not change at all.
He just waved his arms mournfully, as if he had become an ordinary village father.
“I hope you can hold out for a long time.”
McCarthy clenched his fists tightly.
The hand that was given in return for swearing loyalty for revenge was—.
“Because I have no intention of killing you gracefully.”
“Wow!”
It was struck straight into the face of an old enemy.
***
“It’s definitely a dangerous ability.”
I tilted my coffee cup, took a sip of the warm drink, and exhaled lightly.
In the back of my mind, there was a scene where Hans had just plunged the blade of his hand into the center of a huge eyeball, pronouncing a death sentence.
It looked so perfectly fine that it was hard to believe that it had been stuffed in infinite time just a moment ago.
“Well, it doesn’t really mean anything to me.”
It’s just that one of the more than ten differentiated accidents briefly goes wrong.
Of course, the load rate of “Mind Herb” soared in the process, but it was not so burdensome, perhaps because Hans’s own status was added to mental skills, including “Great Mind.”
‘But it’s true that I took a hit, so I’ll have to make sure to return it.’
The ‘death’ prevalent in Devore had one thing in common.
The grudges and origins of the sacrificed humans, as well as the causes and effects related to them, are all intertwined.
In other words, it was said to be no different from a poison that acts even more fatally for the devil, who is the main culprit that caused the world to become the way it is.
Immediately after the attempt at conversion as a secret weapon failed, I was countered without even being able to properly defend myself…
“Ah, is it finished? You were lucky. “It ended sooner than I thought.”
At first, the overwhelming majesty was all over the place, a single eyeball shriveled up and held in Hans’s hand.
It was the moment when the invader, the Immortal King, defeated the devil and took over the world.
