I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 176

176 – Answer (7)

Correct answer (7)

In the past, there was a time when he came to the empire and suggested that we begin relations.

Belphegor was in despair.

No matter how strong she is, she cannot conquer the human world alone.

In that situation, it was quite shocking that there was no line of communication with the human world.

‘What do you want me to do now?’

She was relatively well aware of the situation. The Demon World was on the verge of destruction.

Leviathan knew this, but he was only looking out for his own interests.

As a result, communication with the human world cannot even begin, and even if we try to make some kind of connection now, it will already be too late.

If so, there is only one way.

‘Is it war?’

There will be a lot of blood shed.

If we are fighting for survival, it may be necessary to fight until one of the two becomes extinct.

The weight of it scared Belphegor.

I thought that if I became the Demon King, I would be able to change many things. However, that was a huge mistake.

Even leaving Leviathan aside, wasn’t there anyone who thought like her? They all failed, which is why the Demon World is in this state now.

And in the midst of that despair and fear was Belphegor.

“Do you have a moment?”

“… … .”

I ended up making a stupid choice.

The Pope’s plan. To bring down the angel and take his power.

Belphegor didn’t know much, but he could at least sense that the Pope was not on good terms with the Empire.

The enemy of my enemy can become my friend.

That is why he joined hands with the Pope and planned to share the power of the gods and destroy the empire with overwhelming force.

I thought that if we collaborated with the Celestial Sect, even if war broke out, there would be a compromise.

The ritual started like that.

A prayer meeting to bring down the gods.

Belphegor was forced to stare blankly at the Pope for hours on end, kneeling in prayer.

I felt skeptical. I didn’t think this could really work.

It was bad that I joined in a self-destructive manner because I was just too tired.

Boring time passed. I thought several times about just going back.

But he didn’t leave his seat and stayed there earnestly.

‘Is it really possible?’

Because I still have regrets.

Belphegor thought as he looked at the Pope, who had been kneeling in prayer for so long.

It was not a prayer. She did not kneel, did not fold her hands, did not even close her eyes.

So this is clearly not a prayer.

‘who…….’

Yeah, that’s right.

‘Please help me… … .’

This is just a fleeting thought.

***

“… … .”

After hearing Jim’s story, Belphegor was unable to move for a while.

It felt like my deep-hidden feelings had been exposed. It was humiliating.

You came here to talk?

You came after hearing her prayer?

“Do not be ridiculous…….”

Belphegor has been trying hard.

We reorganized our military to prepare for war and considered many variables.

He used himself as bait to summon the Dragon King, and repeated his foolish actions to deceive the Emperor of the Empire.

Those few years.

Belphegor has been cutting himself.

I made up my mind and repeated the purge.

All for the future of the Demon Race.

“What can you do?”

Many sacrifices have already been made.

Everyone has been shedding blood with only one goal in mind.

So, that doesn’t mean that all of that was meaningless.

“With what kind of heart do we have… …!”

Now you come?

Now, an almost omnipotent god appears and solves everything?

That’s impossible.

So, it is impossible.

“You can’t do anything.”

That is why Belphegor denied it.

The gods cannot save themselves and the demon world.

I couldn’t deny now the conclusion I had already reached a long time ago.

“We decide our future.”

Belphegor clenched his fists, denying his weak past.

The gods before her eyes are not people she understands, but enemies she must defeat.

Otherwise, she would be ashamed of the soldiers who have died for her plans so far.

Kwaaang!

A space bursting out.

The power of destruction that shatters everything in the straight line the fist is aimed at.

Another scar is engraved on the ruined capital of the empire.

“Big… … .”

And Jim, who was the target of that attack, could not be safe either.

When dealing with his own power, he could absorb most of it and simply let it flow away, but Belphegor’s power was different. He couldn’t let it flow away.

Jim cringed, clutching his waist where a large chunk of flesh had been torn off.

But, not yet. You must not fall. The conditions are not met.

“Huh?!”

While Jim was cowering in pain, Belphegor came closer and grabbed Jim by the neck.

“What on earth can you do when you can’t even beat me right now?”

“I wonder… … … … ?”

Woohoo!

Belphegor grabbed Jim’s neck with even greater force.

Jim couldn’t even answer and just frowned.

“… … .”

With just a little more force, you can completely break Jim’s neck.

However, Belphegor could not help but hesitate.

If. Really if.

‘… … If there really is a way?’

If that’s the case, shouldn’t he be hanging on? If there’s a way to shed less blood, if he can really save the demons, shouldn’t he be the one who should stop, the one who should be the one who fails?

This is not the time to be proud. Reason seemed to be saying something like that.

The hesitation that arose from such thoughts lasted longer than expected, and thanks to that, Jim was able to fulfill the last condition.

“What?!”

bang!

Belphegor hurriedly threw down his burden. Because of his hesitation, he lost most of the celestial powers he possessed.

Belphegor also did not expect that he would be able to get it back even though he had not used it.

“It’s not an easy way.”

Belphegor felt an unprecedented fear as he looked at Jim, lying face down on the floor, trembling.

At this very moment, since he had most of the power of the gods returned to him, the outcome of the fight became unknown.

It’s the result of hesitation.

But there was something more to it that was unknown.

“… …Why does the blood of the demon race flow through you?”

Just as Jim was able to regain his celestial powers through contact with Belphegor, Belphegor was also able to confirm Jim’s condition through contact.

“Why do you keep such things? Why do such meaningless things… … .”

Magi is the opposite of divine power. Just being together affects them.

However, the power of the gods is a power that is far superior to divine power.

So, having magic does not hinder you from exercising the power of the gods.

But, the important thing is that the god of heaven still holds the blood of the demon tribe.

With the immense power of the Heavenly God, it would have been a simple matter to eliminate the evil blood of the Demon Clan flowing through his body.

But that wasn’t the case.

In order to maintain the blood of the demon tribe that has the power to resist, they are not even treating the wounds.

“you…….”

Hurrah!

The moment Belphegor noticed something.

Jim, who had never exercised his divine powers before, emitted blue flames.

The necessary conditions have been met.

Now all we have to do is decide on a location. And we’ve already decided on a location.

The place where the two people were is transformed into another place as if it were covered.

A place where everyone is looking up at the blue flames that suddenly appeared.

“Mr. Jim?”

From noble mtl dot nete

The moment when the warrior Esmeralda defeated the legion commander First.

The two moved there.

“Actually, I had a lot of worries. I was always worried about whether this was really the right answer or whether this was the right thing to do.”

Even in this very place, I couldn’t help but worry over and over again.

“I was scared.”

Jim went down that day after hearing Belphegor’s prayer. However, at the same time, he could not ignore the Pope who had been praying the same prayer to him all along.

He had not been answering that prayer, but now he had made up his mind.

“its thanks to you.”

Jim said he came to hear Belphegor’s prayer.

Belphegor swung his fist, realizing that this fact alone meant that Jim had a way to save the Demon World.

I could tell from the look on his face.

People make mistakes, go back, and take a long time, but they will find the answer.

“There is no such thing as a right answer. The existence of a God who can solve everything in this world simply is unnecessary.”

He was acting like a child left on the riverbank.

He said he had to save the poor child, and that no one else could do it.

With that kind of thinking, I was ignoring the bigger problem that needed to be solved right away.

“There was no set answer from the beginning, so we had to use ourselves as a light to find our own answers.”

They are not children.

They are willing to repeat failure as many times as they can in order to grow.

The results may not always be good, but after a few trials and errors, you will surely find the answer.

“So I hope you know that this was also my answer.”

Jim also found the answer.

This world doesn’t need angels.

Because man can save himself even without God’s help.

The blue flame turns into white light.

He manipulates his own power and makes it react with the demon blood within his body, creating a single giant bomb.

However, it is not a bomb that can purify and blow away the entire surrounding area, but a warm light that can only blow away the pain that has consumed this land.

So no one has to sacrifice anything. There is no need to choose between killing demons and killing humans.

There is only one person who will die here.

“older brother.”

The body of the load is cracked.

It was as if Belphegor was unable to fully digest the power of the celestial god he had usurped, and the immense power was about to burst out of his body.

Now that the final moment is near.

The first thing that came to Jim’s mind was his brother’s presence over there.

“I guess I’m still a weakling. I’ve come back too far.”

Jim found the answer.

Across a long, long time.

He finally understood his brother’s choice to go out into the world.

This world doesn’t need an absolute being who can solve everything on his own. So, he got out of the world.

That was the answer Jim found.
