“The one who speaks here is the greatest of the martial world, the greatest of all ti, and the greatest under the heavens. With no enemies remaining in the world, I have surpassed even the gods you once revered. I do not seek your insignificant power.”
The Heavenly Demon replied.
Despite being a cross-dressing man, his face was filled with pride. He was not soone who lied.
Lying is surprisingly difficult. You must grasp reality, predict the future, and then create a false event to deceive.
That’s why perfect lies are hard.
It’s far easier to bury the harsh reality as it is.
Yet, it’s funny how many choose to sink rather than apologize or face the truth.
But no, the important part here is not whether the Heavenly Demon is lying or not.
“Why have you called ?”
He lived rather well, especially for a Harvester, and died in the end. This world is ruled by strength, so, unlike other worlds, he overca his problems through sheer power.
Thus, he thought this world would never be in a state to rise again until soone else fell to the surface.
So, it’s likely not connected to Eunjae. If I look around, the techniques of Yasler that I know seem completely different.
He called using entirely different thods.
Perhaps he called with an ulterior motive.
Unlike that witch, does he have the ability to summon this ti?
Hehe.
Then, it’s worth the effort. It’s a big value to think through.
I stared at the Heavenly Demon. He stared back at . Then, slowly, he spoke.
“Can the transformation and energy infusion you did for the God of War be done for anyone?”
Transformation? Eunjae said sothing like that when he first beca a Harvester, looking down at his own body. I searched through the faded man’s mory, and such things appear in martial arts genres.
Gaining a new body. Energy infusion is transferring your energy to another person. Although he was thrashing around, saying it wasn’t the faded man’s fault, I didn’t care.
In short, those two words are referring to a Harvester.
“Yes. That’s correct. The last ti, following the request of soone who called , I gave blessings to three people a day.”
I’m still unsure if the contract docunt is usable. And recklessly using it could spread too much like last ti, which would be troubleso.
This ti, I’ll control the numbers and increase them gradually.
So, what I did in the previous world, I spoke of it as if it were my ability. In fact, there’s no limit to the numbers. I know because I’ve used the contract docunt in a wide place and turned tens of thousands into Harvesters all at once.
But the limited resources, like a lottery, are important. That creates desire, doesn’t it?
And as desire grows, I can make demands.
For example, on how I was summoned to this world.
Hehe.
“I have one thing to say.”
I spread both hands and gestured with no harm, speaking of the contract docunt.
“I’ll offer myself to you. But once you’ve finished everything, I’ll take everything you have. What do you think?”
The Heavenly Demon stared at for a long ti after hearing my words.
“Is there a price to this?”
Oh, right. This is a transaction. Quick to catch on, aren’t you?
But I’m not planning on taking a sacrifice. Increasing uncontrollable monsters is only a headache.
“I’ve said everything.”
I already ntioned in the contract docunt that I would take everything later.
Of course, I’m not asking for anything else. I’m just taking warmth.
But since I’m unsure about what might happen, I’ll keep the contract docunt as it is.
I don’t want to tamper with it and risk sothing going wrong.
Sure, a cleaner sentence might co out, but it’s still too early for to take risks.
Let’s take the safe route. Safely.
While thinking this way, the Heavenly Demon turned around.
Behind him, many people stood in the direction of his gaze. They wore various outfits, so it seems the technique used to summon is quite different.
Are they ordinary subordinates?
“Who will make a contract with this?”
He could’ve just said “this guy,” but he said “this.” After all, they aren’t human, so I suppose it's not strange to express it this way.
Fine, then.
The decision on my attitude is up to them.
At that mont, a person who had been a little further away rushed towards us.
From up close, it was clear. The person’s outfit was different from the others around. It had more of a practical feel.
The person standing in the summoning circle had removed any trace of individuality from their body. Dressed in black clothes with a hood covering their face.
“Only one Law Keeper?”
When the Heavenly Demon spoke, two more people rushed out from behind. It seed like the younger one was coming in response to the higher-ups' call.
The Heavenly Demon looked down at the three and then pointed at .
“Make the contract.”
The three loudly shouted “Respectfully” and stood in front of . They were filled with anxiety and fear, with a faint trace of expectation.
Expectation is a good sign.
So I happily recited the contract docunt, and they agreed.
Now, I don’t need the dark purple mist.
Imagine a person drawn in a two-dinsional space. They can only see the two dinsions—up, down, left, and right.
If you poke that person with a pencil from above, they’ll suddenly feel as if they’ve been pierced through.
The principle is similar.
If you approach a three-dinsional space from the fourth dinsion, you wouldn’t see anything with your eyes. It’s like another axis in the plain sense, not that you can reverse ti or anything.
Stopping ti or moving forward might be derived from this, but later, when I beco stronger or learn new thods, could I reverse ti?
For now, I’ll just tuck this thought in the back of my mind.
I made a contract with them.
As always, their skin cracked, and their white skin appeared as their black or brown hair quickly turned purple.
I touched the light, and it turned dark purple. At the sa ti, I gained their mories.
For now, the Law Keepers are soldiers.
Their ranks are known as Gapjae, Eunchun, Byeongil, in that order.
The Heavenly Demon Church is simply the Heavenly Demon Church. It doesn’t have nas like One God Church or Bright God Church.
Surprisingly, Eunjae isn’t the first Heavenly Demon. He’s the third generation.
They don’t know much about their past. They were born in a village controlled by the Heavenly Demon Church, and with so talent in martial arts, they worked hard to rise to a high position.
There are so interesting mories.
From a simple believer, they beca a Law Keeper and implanted worms into their bodies. But surprisingly, these people didn’t care because everyone else was doing it too. How did they brainwash them…?
Is it like when no one questions if adult fingerprints are recorded and numbered in the country where the faded man was from?
They just lived as they were fed by the Heavenly Demon Church and eventually beca Law Keepers, reaching the elder’s position.
Then they followed when they heard that the Chaos Monster, which gave the God of War special powers, had been summoned and ended up here.
The warmth is much smaller compared to the light.
But the mont they beca Harvesters, the warmth suddenly increased.
What is the principle behind this?
No, compared to the light, it was so small, but it increased to a certain extent. Could it be because the worms inside disappeared?
The light is almost certainly soul-based.
Warmth, however, seems to be human nature or desire. I’m guessing it’s sothing like that.
So people who are filled with despair or resignation have almost no warmth. Thinking of the light that fell to , if such a state lasts too long, the light will likely shrink.
If I gained power and could do more, making the warmth grow...
The path seems to be showing itself.
I’ll think more about it, but if I pour enough freedom into it, the light will grow.
Hehe. The warmth increases.
I laughed as I looked at the Heavenly Demon.
“I’ve done what a human desires.”
Then I looked at my body. There’s a chance that soone like Rebecca, using my body, could survive.
If so, a little favor would be fine.
I’ll make sure people won’t forget, and let’s call her na.
“As you know, my na is Chosul. Please call that.”
Chosul is the na of the body I’m inhabiting, just like Rebecca Rolf.
I’m tall, but since I’m young, my chest is flat, and my figure is quite plain. Just like Rebecca Rolf, the body is used as a vessel.
Could it be that children are more suitable for holding things?
But this child, unlike Rebecca, wasn’t caught after living a normal life. She was raised for a specific role from the beginning.
Most of her life has been fleeting, and I rember often training in a strange space where I was first dragged in.
Even though it was called training, it was more like taking a lot of drugs and thinking hard about the words spoken outside in a dazed state. By the end, they’d gouge my eyes out, cast a spell, and tie up in cloth.
This ti, however, it wasn’t a drug; it was a wet cloth that made my breath feel dazed.
Chosul seems like she was raised to beco a sacrifice.
It’s hard to spread this much effort widely.
No, this might actually be the perfect thod for . I’ll take the opportunity to gain knowledge, just like last ti.
When I said my na, the Heavenly Demon stared at as if trying to figure out my true intentions.
But I don’t have much to hide.
Just, I want warmth.
Smiling with that intention, I laughed and faced him. He pointed at and shouted.
“Seal this!”
Oops.
Is that how it’s going to be?
The people around started chanting. Gapjae, Eunchun, Byeongil, Chosul. The language is unfamiliar to .
In other words, there’s a specific language for casting this magic. I’ll just have to learn it from soone who knows later.
As I thought this, the cloth hanging from the ceiling ca down and wrapped around .
Unlike Yasler, they didn’t watch in that way. But this is fine in its own way. If I think of it as a blessing wrap, I can endure it.
And I still haven’t heard the Heavenly Demon’s true thoughts.
Hehe.
The Heavenly Demon tested my abilities.
In other words, it ans they need warmth. No questions asked. Instead of sealing or cutting down the second God of War, they’ll keep it for later.
Before the cloth rolls up, I salute the Heavenly Demon, staring at .
“See you next ti, miss.”
I wanted to see his expression, but before I could, the cloth completely covered my face.
But I can see the world through the eyes of the three Law Keepers.
Ah!
The three lowered their heads, so I couldn’t tell what kind of expression the Heavenly Demon was making.
If I had seen his expression, I would’ve had many clues about what he was thinking. What a pity.
But ti is on my side. And this seal will definitely be undone from their side.
I’m confident about the waiting part.
Now, let’s see what the Heavenly Demon desires.
Surely, he will show his desires as he experints with these three.
