Chapter 286 ― Now Loading (3)
Why is it so repulsive yet familiar and friendly on the other hand? Roan was embarrassed by himself who even felt relieved by this existence.
“Ah, that’s actually because I came from a living being.”
‘Greed’ kindly explained.
“Besides, most of my powers now come from the world you lived in. You, who is facing me right now, is a collaboration between that place and this place. It’s the same situation as mine, and it’s an inseparable relationship. You say the genes are the same… Like brothers or something?”
The darkness flickered.
Roan could see that it was a smirk of ‘greed’.
“It’s a natural human being that you feel rejected, and you… , It must be because of the power of a woman.”
The woman? Oh, she is a goddess.
“Uhm, she didn’t have good memories of me, and she was originally a human, not a god. I hope you will understand even if the choice of words is not to your liking.”
Since Roan was connected to ‘greed’, I could tell he was sincere.
“Hmm, so, how do you feel?”
‘Greed’ asked.
“Did you see what I went through? How was it?”
The darkness thickened.
‘Greed’ pressed its face against Roan.
‘Greed’ was really curious.
He had never cared about anyone’s evaluation. However, he thought it would be nice to get a good evaluation for this being.
Anyway, isn’t Roan a powerful creature in the lower town? Even more superior than the most powerful Patgam that ‘greed’ could mobilize.
He was also the closest creature to himself in his world.
An existence created by someone’s wish, but an existence that did not belong to the living beings here, and an existence that was half made up of the other world.
That’s why this guy is special.
The thought of ‘greed’ made Roan a little puffed up.
But he tried to hide it as best he could.
“Huh? Say it. Am I that vicious and bad? Am I an evil being who shouldn’t exist as you guys say?”
Roan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
‘Greed’ was delighted with his reaction.
“Right! Yes! I thought you would understand! That’s right, I’m actually a natural being!”
‘Greed’ was excited and talked about it.
“There is no existence without desire. Desiring that is natural for all life, and I just want to add a little bit of strength to it. I didn’t even reach out first. The power you created just flowed into me.”
Roan tilted his head.
Wouldn’t ‘greed’ wish for something so kind to humans?
Wasn’t what the devil wanted was the additional emotion created by the life form that comes from seeking something?
‘Greed’ shrugged his shoulders.
“Ah, of course, they say that unclean things radiate only from your point of view. It’s true that I get strength from it. But, if you think about it like that, can there be an act that doesn’t create anything unclean?”
That’s not wrong either.
There is no action without reaction.
The darkness surrounding ‘greed’ came creeping up on Roan like fog.
“No matter how sacred and clean you seek and desire, there is pain and suffering that comes from it. That is the irony that all beings inevitably have.”
It’s ironic.
I heard words I thought I would never hear in this world. It’s kind of strange.
“Hee hee, I watched intently. Did you study a lot? There were a lot of fun things.”
‘Greed’, which giggled for a while, spoke soon.
“Anyway, the woman and her companions were very worried. I am like a shadow How foolish would it be to cut down a tree just because it casts a shadow on the ground, or to try to eliminate the shadow by shining a light on it? Even by mobilizing you from another world.”
I understood that the existence of ‘greed’ was indispensable. Suddenly, Roan felt the presence of the goddess was foreign.
Could it be that the Goddess Moira loved all the beings on the continent too much?
Did the Goddess, Fiora, and other extinct races try to overprotect humans, just like the word ‘greed’?
Whether humans or demons, as the number of people increases, the ugly parts increase as much as the good parts develop. Wouldn’t such beings have come into existence just because the devil hadn’t touched them?
If you look at Yongcheol’s world, where there are no outsiders like ‘greed’ or Goddess, you might actually know the answer.
Even if there is no outside intervention, maybe that’s how it goes when the world develops?
“Mum. Okay. That’s what I was thinking. In that respect, I would like to suggest.”
Roan quietly peered into the darkness at the sound of that voice. For some reason, I felt as if I had seen his face at first glance in the deep darkness.
Even without the word ‘greed’, Roan knew what he was going to suggest. But he listened to him in silence.
“I don’t want life to end. Why would I want that? It is true that fighting on the side of humans or demons, of course, what is born in the process feels good to me, but why? It feels like.”
‘Greed’ explained.
“All life in this world will disappear anyway. I don’t care if the extinction of the entity is delayed or delayed by decades. Whether it’s through war, natural death, or plague, it’s the same to me.”
Ah. Able to know.
For him, who has lived through thousands, tens of thousands, and countless times, the total amount of by-products produced by beings who will die anyway is similar anyway.
Unknowingly, I shook my head.
“Even though you don’t belong here, you’re working hard for the lives here. Do you really need to do that? In that case, give me some help.”
Why do you care so much about me?
“What are you talking about. You know the wizard and the grand duke, right? Would it be comfortable to work with people like that, would it be comfortable to work with you who can communicate?”
The darkness quickly dispersed and gathered several times, as if giggling. Roan seemed to hear his laughter.
‘Well, I guess I can speak better. Because the Grand Duke was preoccupied with his lust for power.’
“Even you are more powerful than them, and you understand me better. ‘Cause you’re from another world Besides, our objectives are quite aligned. Don’t you want to stop wasteful consumption, feed your people, and develop them? That’s what I want.”
Uh?
Is it?
“The wizard is overly greedy. He’s trying to be sincere with me as well as him, but… Anyway, the goal is the destruction of mankind. I don’t want humans to perish. It’s very embarrassing for me to help him.”
‘Greed’ gave off signs of scratching one’s head.
“And the Grand Duke, after all, is your subordinate. They even try to exclude humans and create a world of demons. That’s why I joined hands with the wizard. But you want to coexist with humans and make everyone comfortable. Even for me, such a moderate way is more welcome.”
Schlaner had spoken grandiosely of paradise. After all, that word means ‘a paradise excluding humans’. But you don’t have to go that far. In moderation, if everyone could live peacefully without fighting…
In fact, how could there be a paradise in the world? Because you want such a grandiose thing, you have no choice but to borrow the power of the devil.
Grand duke? He has nothing more to say.
Because he wanted something unworthy of himself, he couldn’t get it on his own, so he borrowed the power of others.
The reason why the lives of demons are getting better now is because Evirgio’s system is supposed to follow one powerful demon.
If I were given a little more strength, might I be able to contribute to curbing people’s useless ambitions and making the world a little quieter?
Roan was taken aback by the sudden darkness approaching his feet, but soon got used to it. It was thanks to Roan that this power was not unfamiliar to him.
The fog-like darkness swirled around Roan’s ankles. It was as if he had put his shoes on and dipped his feet in a warm, muddy puddle.
I felt the immorality of doing something that I shouldn’t have done, but I couldn’t help but feel good.
“It’s less troublesome for me, and it’s much easier for you to do what you want. How is it?”
Trouble.
Why was I troubled?
Me… ? Who is it?
Looking down, the darkness that had reached his feet earlier had risen to his knees before he knew it.
The dark is cool but cozy,
It smelled, but I got used to it and it was comfortable.
Roan’s ego was slowly being diluted by the darkness.
Roan was submerged to the point of not realizing it, and ‘greed’ knew it.
He whispered again.
“Let me ease your mind a little. Then it will be easy for you to decide. You guys say this is a win-win, right?”
I know the hard words.
Words I don’t even know.
“Hee hee, did you look closely?”
I knew exactly what that guy saw.
It felt like the memories were gradually dissipating from my hands, as if I had been forgotten after waking up from a dream.
A warm wind blew.
It was an unfamiliar sensation, so I suddenly looked under my feet and saw that the darkness that had filled up to my thighs had taken a step back.
“Uh, uh…”
The words didn’t come out properly, but I made a sound because I felt sorry for myself without knowing it.
But the darkness never came.
When I looked up to find the reason, there was a small glitter in front of my eyes.
“Ha, that is boring. Isn’t this almost a stalker?”
‘Greed’ grumbled.
As I focused on the shining thing in front of my eyes,
It was the writing.
“… How, the writing?”
Even if I waved my hand, I couldn’t catch it.
The light, which repeatedly faded and deepened several times, slowly moved to the right and formed a trajectory.
It’s a letter
[Message : ]
Message?
From whom?
To me?
[You have died. ]
Eyes widened
Am I dead?
Why? Where? What happened?
Regardless of the chaos, the message continued to produce letters.
[Message: Please select the save data to load.]
I was staring blankly at the letters,
It came to mind suddenly.
Where I came from,
Where I am staying now
How he died and why he is here.
“Hmm…”
A dull groan was heard.
