Chapter 349: Episode 65 – Good and Evil (5)
Duet Between Good and Evil wasn’t a main scenario. The classification belonged to the hidden scenario but strictly speaking... the scenario was akin to an event.
I left Asmodeus for the mont and greeted my party mbers. There were too many things to blindly enter the scenario.
“Hyung! Are you okay?”
The party mbers had different expressions but the concern on their faces was the sa. They probably had many questions.
I was reminded of the situation before I passed out and explained the whole story to the party mbers step by step. In return for saving my mother and Yoo Sangah, I was hit by the aftermath of the probability storm.
Jung Heewon listened calmly to the story and asked, “...Yoo Sangah-ssi’s soul is inside you?”
“To put it simply, yes.”
“If there was such a way, why...”
“I wasn’t sure about the success.”
Jung Heewon sighed and leaned down with her hands pressed against her knees. “Then Sangah-ssi really died...”
“Then is Sangah unni alive?”
Lee Jihye muttered while sitting down. She couldn’t seem to believe it and asked again several tis. Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung had tears in their eyes. Lee Hyunsung was standing next to them like a bear.
“She is alive. And...” I stared straight at Lee Jihye and said, “I’ll revive her again.”
Yoo Sangah was obviously alive. However, it was hard to say she was living in her present condition.
Jung Heewon asked, “How? If it is similar to Biyoo...”
“I was thinking of reincarnation but not into a dokkaebi. In the first place, the existences that can beco dokkaebis are fixed. The Flood of Disasters was a special case.”
The 41st round Shin Yoosung had been wandering around the Star Stream for thousands of years. However, that wasn’t the case with Yoo Sangah.
“To save Yoo Sangah, I need to go to a certain ‘star.’ It is called the ‘island’ among the transcendents.”
In the distance, Kyrgios pricked up his ears at the word ‘island.’ Maybe Kyrgios knew about the island. While I wasn’t here, he had already gone to the island.
“The problem is that I can’t go there right now.”
Jung Heewon glanced at Asmodeus who was wandering around the back of the Factory. “Is it due to the invitation that the demon king brought?”
I nodded. My mind was complicated. I had to go to the island to save Yoo Sangah and also participate in the Duet Between Good and Evil. The more urgent thing right now...
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is looking at you.]
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is asking for your help.]
My thoughts were complicated. I couldn’t believe Uriel would say this. Was the situation in Eden that bad? However, if I attended Duet Between Good and Evil...
「 (Dokja-ssi, I told you. A quest should always be preceded by a quest.) 」
...Eh?
‘Yoo Sangah-ssi?’
「 (Yes.) 」
‘Did you wake up before?’
「 (That’s right.) 」
It was surprising. How did she talk to across the Fourth Wall? Even Nirvana couldn’t...
「 (I’ll give you a more detailed explanation later but now you should focus on the problem at hand. I’ll cut to the chase. Dokja-ssi must attend the Duet Between Good and Evil.) 」
‘But...’
Yoo Sangah must be reading Ways of Survival in the Fourth Wall. Maybe she guessed my plans through Ways of Survival.
「 (It doesn’t matter if my reincarnation is late. You don’t know it but this library is pretty comfortable.) 」
‘But...’
「 (In addition, I think attending Duet Between Good and Evil will help when moving towards the next main scenario, right?) 」
Yoo Sangah was right.
‘Please endure it a bit, Yoo Sangah-ssi. I’ll let you live again.’
Yoo Sangah was faintly smiling. I looked back at the party mbers and outlined the current situation. “The aftermath of the last scenario isn’t over but sothing new has co up. I’m sorry. Even so, I must attend this scenario.”
Lee Hyunsung heard my words and puffed up his chest. “Dokja-ssi, I don’t care. I have already rested comfortably and want to move quickly.”
“That is only Hyunsung ahjussi. I wanted to get so rest...”
“Are we all going?”
“I think we should leave Seolhwa-ssi and Gong Pildu behind. We need a minimum number of people to manage the industrial complex.”
The next mont, light flashed in the air.
[The ‘Duet Between Good and Evil’ is calling you.]
“I guess it has started.”
Along with the ssage, our bodies were surrounded by light. The forced transfer to the scenario began.
***
The Duet Between Good and Evil was literally a feast of good and evil. A banquet after one long scenario ended in order to identify ‘good and evil’.
One might wonder about the aning behind such an action but for so constellations, this ‘discrimination’ had a very important aning. It was because the overall discrimination of good and evil would change the status of the absolute good and absolute evil system, leading to a difference in the next quarter.
[It has been a long ti since there was a banquet of this size.]
“Haven’t you seen it often?”
[I didn’t always attend. This is a bit unusual.]
Asmodeus gazed at the exterior of the magnificent banquet hall and smiled. In fact, the banquet was unusual in not just size but also position. The mont we were summoned, there was a crowd of people walking across the bridge.
The constellations and incarnations passing through the bridge and the dokkaebis waiting to broadcast the scene. In addition, there were the constellations belonging to the independent dia of the Star Stream.
Asmodeus said, [Then I will enter first. Don’t be uncomfortable and take it easy. Above all, you are the most likely candidate to win a prize this season.]
...Candidate to win a prize?
Before I could say anything, Asmodeus flicked his fingers and his clothing behind a gorgeous black dress. He started to enter the hall by crossing the bridge with an elegant walk.
[Devil of Fury and Lust!]
[The demon king Asmodeus laughed!]
There was the should of shutters as the bridge flooded with light. Asmodeus smiled at the dokkaebis and glanced back at with a charming expression.
Once again, I realized what a great existence Asmodeus was. Every one of Asmodeus’ steps caused images of the battlefield where he fought to flow. I didn’t know how many people he fought to be upgraded.
[The demon king ‘Devil of Lust and Fury’ ― is currently ranked 13th among demon kings.]
The guy who was 32nd rank not long ago was now at the top of the pyramid. It was a huge upgrade.
“We will enter.”
I looked around at the party mbers but their expressions were strange.
“Ahjussi. Is it okay if we go in?”
“D-Dokja-ssi. I didn’t know it would be a place like this...”
Jung Heewon, who visited Eden, took a deep breath to seek calmness but the situation of the other party mbers was serious.
Lee Jihye was nervously biting her nails while Lee Hyunsung’s huge bear-like shoulders trembled. I could feel Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung holding my hands tightly.
“It’s fine. We received an invitation.”
I was also nervous but I smiled to reassure my companions.
“Don’t be intimidated. We’ve been fighting hard in the anti. It doesn’t matter what they think of us. It is more important that we build a history that doesn’t sha us.”
“Dokja-ssi is right. What are we doing? We should enter quickly.”
The other mbers seed to wake up due to Jung Heewon’s strength. Lee Jihye struck her red cheeks.
Once the preparations were over, I walked over the opening bridge with my companions. The path was covered with jewels and minerals, including obsidian and diamonds. There was also a river of stories flowing under the bridge.
The famous constellations, including Asmodeus, had already passed over so the crowd didn’t pay attention to us. To be exact, I wanted it to be like that.
[Ah, that person...!]
[Demon King of Salvation!]
Now my modifier was quite famous and so of the constellations recognized . At the sa ti, the dokkaebis broadcasting glanced this side. The exclamation began like a small clap and soon spread throughout the bridge.
[The enemy of Olympus!]
[Kim Dokja’s Company has co!]
Attention was concentrated on us in an instant. The huge amount of attention caused the walking party mbers to be embarrassed. So of the constellations on the bridge even reached out towards us. ssages poured in from all over the place and placards swayed.
[Handso Kim Dokja!]
[9158 FOREVER]
I hoped that the party mbers wouldn’t look at them but Jung Heewon spoke to .
“Dokja-ssi, are you an idol?”
“Heewon-ssi is the sa as .”
-Judge of Evil! I’ve been watching your scenario!
-Heewon unni is so cool!
-I support the love of the Steel Sword!
Lee Hyunsung was startled and glanced over frightfully. “D-Dokja-ssi! They are talking about .”
-The ‘Korean History Preservation Association’ is supporting Lee Jihye, the successor of the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare.
Lee Jihye frowned. “These guys...”
-Shin Yoosung ☆ Lee Gilyoung are the best!
I felt a strong force from Shin Yoosung holding my hand.
“Ahjussi, I feel terrible.”
“Why am I and Shin Yoosung...”
I knew that the reputation of our nebula had increased since Gigantomachia. In fact, the Mass Production Maker had said so. Still, I never imagined the reaction would be so huge.
[Demon King of Salvation, say a few words!]
[How do you feel about being nominated the most likely to win a prize this season?]
The microphones coming from all over the place caused to panic. When I thought about it, this was the first ti in my life that I had received such attention. At this ti, there was soone who saved from being embarrassed by the dokkaebis.
[■■, aren’t you getting lost?]
The distinctive platinum hair spread through the air and erald green eyes blazed with fury.
[R-Run away!]
[Crazy angel!]
The dokkaebis scattered and an archangel in a black silk dress reached .
[Kim Dokja! You ca!]
Uriel hugged and rocked with in her arms. I felt happy and embarrassed at the sa ti and removed Uriel.
“Uriel, it has been a while.”
[Yes yes!]
I felt good when I saw Uriel’s glittering eyes. I was glad to see her again. I was thankful but... Didn’t she call because Eden was in danger?
“...Excuse ? Don’t you see your incarnation here?”
[H-Heewon! Hahahat! Of course, it is also a pleasure to et Heewon! Let’s enter!]
Uriel turned away from the crowd and guided us to the banquet hall. I entered the hall and felt overwheld with admiration. The demon kings and constellations were separated on two long tables.
On the left were the 72 demon kings─73 now─ while the right table contained the constellations of the absolute good system, including the archangels of Eden.
Our position ant everyone present was focused on . It was as if they were asking what table I was going to sit on.
[The demon king ‘Monarch of Stars and Logic’ is paying attention to your choice.]
[The demon king ‘Black Mane Lion’ is wondering about your choice.]
[The constellation ‘Scribe of Heaven’ is watching you.]
[The constellation ‘Morning Star Goddess’ is looking at you.]
Sadly, this ti there seed to be no other choice.
