Chapter 152 – The Weight Of The Name Heavenly Demon (2)
Ming Cult, Divine Cult, Heavenly Demon Cult, White Lotus Cult.
As times changed, the name shifted to the Demonic Cult, depending on who referred to it, but its original name remained unchanged.
Its history was profound.
Though persecuted as the Demonic Sect, many feared them from within.
It was the foremost power as a single entity.
The righteous faction had the Murim Alliance, while the evil faction had the Four Evil Sects.
They formed power by gathering various factions.
They influenced both the righteous and evil factions.
Yet, the Demonic Sect attempted to face them alone as a single power.
It was not that the righteous and evil factions united just because the Demonic Sect rose.
They had their reasons for that.
There, the successor of the Heavenly Demon, the young Heavenly Demon, sighed.
‘Why did it turn out this way?’
Recently, a major concern has arisen.
Many had begun targeting the Divine Cult from all directions.
The New Religion did not have much influence in the present world.
However, the environment was better than in other places.
This was because their god, the Heavenly Demon, was exceptionally strong even at the boundary.
It was said that some gods meddled with her and ended up dead, leaving vacancies in the seats of the Divine Temple.
Therefore, religious forces did not provoke them unnecessarily.
Similarly, the evil sects and Russian figures who could face retaliation from them did not bother them either.
However, the problem lay with the orthodox forces without transcendents to send to the boundary or the knights flowing in through India.
‘No, it’s probably the Indian gods involved.’
Veda.
Entities rivaling the Divine War in the United States as a single force.
According to them, communication with those people was impossible, and they infiltrated the Ming Cult too discreetly.
So, they claimed it was difficult to stop them and allowed them to flow into the Divine Cult.
No, in fact, they might be assisting them from behind.
The Divine Cult was something very tempting from their perspective.
If it were just them, it wouldn’t be such a nuisance.
Recently, the Great Three Kings of Destruction had begun to stand out.
Among them, the one with the most reckless nature.
They were targeting the Divine Cult.
The King of the North Sea.
A being known by that name.
Although called the King of the North Sea, the Divine Cult had the capacity to face them.
As the successor of the Heavenly Demon, he was a supreme martial artist in his own right.
In this world, they were called the High Realm or something.
Among the monsters of the world, barely 2,000 existed of this level.
Such an existence was precisely himself.
Moreover, they were the ones who supported the Divine Sect.
Known as the Five Peaks, they reigned over the Divine Sect.
They were the ones who upheld their indepence.
The foes called the Three Great Destruction Kings, had plunged China into a medieval era.
The Divine Sect had the power to confront and defeat them head-on.
‘If it weren’t for that damned Green Forest King.’
That damned old monster, who talked with a disrespectful tone, claiming to be old and dismissing manners.
That damned woman, shouting about communism, trying to redistribute wealth and seize their properties.
They did not distinguish between friend and foe.
True to their name as the Forest Elves, they were extremely dangerous once they entered the forest.
Such beings cried for wealth redistribution while engaging in banditry.
Was that all?
While claiming to love the forest, if someone built houses out of trees, those creatures would burn them all down.
That was why the title of “Destruction” was attached to the name of the Three Kings.
In front of the elves, they used the character for “destruction,” but among humans, they used the character implying arrogance, wishing for their downfall.
Though the Sea King and War King were severe, the Green Forest King was extremely, extremely severe.
‘The problem doesn’t end here.’
What was more dangerous was that the orthodox factions were siding with them.
The cult had the potential to defeat the Three Great Annihilator Kings.
‘Beyond that is dangerous.’
The cult had many enemies.
There weren’t many allies.
Through the suppressant known as the Heavenly Demon, they merely ensured they didn’t make more enemies.
If the cult was destroyed, those who pretended to be neutral would merely express condolences and console the Heavenly Demon.
And the successor knew this.
Even if the Heavenly Demon were to witness the demise of the Divine Cult, it wouldn’t elicit much of a reaction.
The Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.
Ever since that being perished, the Heavenly Demon changed.
The once intelligent and orphaned eyes now gleamed with madness, and concern for her own life dwindled significantly.
Even now, after quite some time had passed, it was the same.
“Mulin is strong, indeed.”
“......Are you doing this on purpose?”
“What?”
“Wow......”
Nam Hyerin reacted like that and looked at Yoo Eunchae and Shin Yura with pity.
It seemed like an encouraging look directed at some incredible trash.
“Hey.”
While we were momentarily confronting each other, the Sea King intervened between us.
It was a gesture of anxiety.
“They say you’re taking the Green Forest King.”
“Not taking her, she’s just following.”
“To me, it looks like you’re taking her by force.”
“By force, me?”
There was no reason for that. The power of the Green Forest King was strong, but replaceable.
Though I was going to the Divine Sect this time, there was the Heavenly Demon, so there was no real reason to take her.
Thinking that, I looked at the Sea King with a tilted head, and the Sea King spoke with an anxious look.
“How about returning the Spirit of Wind?”
“....................................Uh?”
Come to think of it, it seemed I might have taken something like that...
“No way, that reaction means you forgot?”
“....................................No, I remember well.”
Using the power of the Wind God, I passed the Spirit of Wind from the King of the Green Forest to Shin Yura.
Of course, I had no intention of returning it to the King of the Green Forest.
The King of the Green Forest was docile now, but the scene when I first saw her was too vivid.
She invaded the empire alone, trying to undermine its prestige.
How lightly she must have regarded the empire.
Now, I didn’t think that way; I just thought she was foolish.
‘Even at the Supreme Realm, can one lack a sense of reality and be foolish?’
Convictions or ideologies were not easily changed, no matter how high one’s realm was.
Seeing her follow my words obediently, it seemed she fit well with the law of the jungle.
‘Anyway, the important thing is.’
I looked at the Sea King.
“You want the spirit returned?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s still a bit...”
“Haven’t you been working hard in your own way?”
“Working hard?”
I looked at the Sea King.
The Sea King flinched. It was good that he didn’t run away from the fight with the Supreme Realm warriors.
However, it was probably because he was confident he wouldn’t lose that fight.
“I’ll think about it for now.”
“...Understood. However, it would be good if you reconsider. I can handle the fairies under my command, but the Battle King is different.”
“Ah, you mentioned there was another guy?”
“The Battle King is the king of an extremely belligerent tribe among the fairies. He won’t back down easily like us. If a fight breaks out and he is humiliated, their entire race will fight to the death.”
“A crazy race.”
“...Of course, you probably won’t feel threatened by something like that. However, it might be a minor annoyance.”
“That’s a good way. I dislike troublesome things.”
The information from the Sea King was quite valuable.
However, there was someone more concerning right now.
“Hehe, have you come?”
The Heavenly Demon had approached before I realized it.
A familiar tone.
Yet, glancing slyly, she looked at the other women.
Shin Yura and Yoo Eunchae.
While looking at them, she hugged me.
“Hehe, this isn’t bad either.”
“What is.”
“Don’t be coy. By accident, I might make a hole in your stomach.”
“......”
“Don’t hate me too much. It’s because I was lonely during the 100 years you died as you pleased. I thought I was the only one longing, but you were eating well, living well, and mingling with other women, so even someone as broad-minded as I might get a little angry.”
“I’m not that promiscuous.”
“You may think that way. But do you know? All women are wolves.”
“Isn’t it usually men who say things like that?”
“Someone like you would turn women into wolves. Don’t you realize even after being taken by me like that?”
“.......”
Come to think of it, that was true.
After becoming somewhat close with the Heavenly Demon, I was lured by the tale of a cat spirit capable of leaping over walls and nearly lost my purity.
“Wait, you? Why are you distancing yourself from me?”
No, it was nothing.
“Then shall we head to the Demonic Cult?”
Feeling that something might go wrong if I stayed here any longer, I changed the subject.
And so, we set off for the Demonic Cult.
