The Devil Who Grants Wishes - The Devil Who Grants Wishes chapter 128
128 – Serapia (2)
Jigsaw Jigseu
A hole is made in the space using the processed god.
If you look at it from the side or from the back, you can just see a normal landscape, but if you look at it from the front, it’s very awkward because there are blue hole-shaped holes in the air. It feels as if you are editing reality in real time using the photoshop function attached to your eyes.
Well, in a way, that wouldn’t be wrong.
Shinwi actually helps to edit reality, and as a result of that editing, a portal to Kael was created ignoring all other processes.
“…Is this really okay? No matter how I look at it, it looks like I’ll fall into another world where nothing has ever been observed, let alone Kael.”
Looking at the bizarre-shaped portal, Lena said that as if she was slightly frightened.
I heard that there is Kael on the other side, but the energy that comes through the portal is just endless emptiness and goosebumps.
If there really is Kael, it would be normal for all kinds of energy to come out, such as divine power, divine power, and light energy.
“Okay, ask me something else.”
“…It’s a big deal because Lena still doesn’t believe in Faust-sama.”
However, Lena’s common sense response has become rather nonsense here now.
After hearing Lena’s legitimate objection, Lucia, Iris, and Celestine rather criticize Lena for not having faith in Faust.
It’s not just the existing staff.
Belial, who knows Faust’s strength and believes in him, Elias, who is confident in the things he made, and Irene, who sees the portal and judges that there is no problem, all refuse to help Lena.
“Why, why are you all looking at me like that…!”
Lena is greatly embarrassed by the sudden gaze and looks around, but no one gives an answer to Lena’s question.
Even Lena’s guess is justified, and Lena’s ancestor, Irene, is also desperately avoiding her eyes because she thinks something annoying will happen, so there is only one person who can cover Lena right now.
“You might be concerned, why the hell is everyone like that?”
“Faust…”
Lena, who is perplexed by the strange stare, is cheered up by receiving the only ray of salvation. Salvation was just such an obvious question.
No, what the hell is everyone thinking and reacting like that? No matter who saw it, Lena’s question was extremely appropriate.
Honestly, I wouldn’t want to enter a portal like this without any prior knowledge. It’s the color of an abyss where you can’t get out of anything.
“As this is a portal created by twisting reality, it is different from other portals in general. If existing portals connect two spaces in a way that does not violate the world system, this will force two spaces to physically fit together. I made it reach you.”
“Yes…?”
“So, to put it simply, it means that the other side of the portal is not visible and that no energy is coming out, which is a normal phenomenon.
“…okay.”
After hearing my explanation, Lena nodded and realized that there was no problem. The one in front doesn’t seem to understand what he’s saying at all, but when I tell him that I’ve been to the Demon Realm with this, he realizes that it’s okay.
Well, Lena’s reaction is normal, but why are the other kids like that? you trust me too much
“Then, first of all, let’s move after securing the safety of the portal by sending monsters, beasts, and demons from the underworld.”
“””Yes.”””
When there is no further disagreement, the work proceeds as planned in advance.
If you enter Kael through the portal, it is obvious that there will be various traps and dangers, so instead, meat shields are inserted into the portal to catch and remove the traps and dangers.
Of course, since that place is Kael, the home base of Cerapia, monsters and monsters are full of divine power to the extent that they can be purified in an instant… but that’s it, you just have to pour in so much that you can’t even purify it properly.
Why doesn’t that exist? Rivers have the ability to purify pollution, but if the pollution exceeds a certain limit, the river loses its ability to purify and rots. It’s roughly like that.
**********
Where did I go wrong?
Didn’t send Samael to blow up the Aileu Festival properly?
Having contracted a needlessly stupid devil without intervening directly and just watching the creation of a god?
Having helplessly taken away the saintess who could accept my will?
Worrying about the collateral damage of the underworld, the system definitely failed to deal with Faust?
Didn’t properly watch the warrior I made to increase my faith?
The fact that the demons stopped appearing in the underworld was dismissed as an instantaneous phenomenon and passed over?
If it’s not him or me… Killing Stella and stealing her trust?
…No, I didn’t do anything wrong.
I can’t say it’s perfectly correct, but I can affirm that all the choices I made at the time were the best and best choices I could make at this point.
Then, how the hell was this crisis right in front of me created?
[Faust.]
‘…yes.’
It’s something I’ve known for a long time, but the resonance of Shinwi makes me firmly realize what was only vaguely spreading in my head.
This is all because of Faust.
From beginning to end, if it hadn’t been for Faust, I could have always lived in peace. He was able to live a very beautiful life, being held up by mortals without any risk.
You won’t be able to enjoy such a life forever until you deal with those invading Kael now.
“Azrael!! Can’t we close the rift?! Faust’s minions and devils in the underworld are becoming too numerous to handle!”
“Goddess, you can block it, but if you do that, new cracks will immediately appear in unexpected places, and all the defense lines you have built will be useless. For now, let’s leave it as it is.”
“Kuh…”
Things were so messed up. At first, I didn’t know what he was thinking because he was trying to make Shinwi into a tool rather than absorbing it into his body.
Dare… Dare…!
I-I’m not in a position that a low-level guy like you can set as a target…!
I have to deal with it somehow.
We have to overcome this crisis somehow.
It has to be acknowledged somehow.
ugh
“What…”
The body cries.
The spirit is ringing.
Shinwi has a question about me.
That I have a vessel big enough to fully embrace the spirit of light.
That I have the strength and qualifications to be worshiped by everyone.
I had felt a similar feeling before.
Right, when standing in front of Stella.
“…”
“A goddess…?”
Seeing my strange attitude, Azrael tilts his head curiously, but he can’t answer that question right now.
There was a time when I felt something similar to this when I stood in front of Stella.
At that time, unlike now, Shinwi questioned Stella and evaluated me differently, but the fact that I was evaluated by Shinwi was the same.
In other words, Shinwi is trying to abandon me if necessary.
No no…!
“If you don’t break the rift, can you never stop the invasion?”
“…not by any means, but the standoff will last quite a while.”
“Then the person who causes the rift… I’ll have to deal with it somehow. I’ll have to make them stop sending minions from the outside.”
To stop sending minions, Azrael doubts that if such a thing were possible, he wouldn’t have done it sooner, but he doesn’t bother to reveal the question.
Because Serapia right now is too dangerous.
The pupils are shrunk to the limit, and the trembling pupils give fear and fear to those who just look at them.
“I will bombard and destroy Eilyuze, no, all the underworlds. Faust, who pretends to be so kind, will not be able to watch the world be destroyed.”
“If you waste your energy on actions other than fighting the enemy, the fight will be difficult.”
“…Do you dare to argue against my opinion? If you don’t do this, that abominable devil won’t come in here!!! You’re telling me to fight that devil outside of Kael, without even having enough strength? The divine power used can be replenished by squeezing the life force of the followers!!”
However, no matter how much it is, it can’t be seen as meaninglessly draining power, so Azrael gives advice, thinking of Serafia’s, no, the divine power of the light contained in Serafia’s body, even at the risk of being angered and destroyed, but Serafia doesn’t like that. Defeat Azrael’s advice by simply shouting.
For Seraphia now, the only thing that matters is her dignity.
If he could kill Faust, if he could keep his godhead, it wouldn’t matter if all the angels were annihilated or if the world was ruined.
Serafia, who knows very well that such things can return to their original state, does not view any sacrifices as heavy.
