Chapter 249

Even Dantalian did not know the details about the Sky Lord . All that was known was that he was a ‘very ominous being’, and if he hadn’t been created for the purpose of stopping Diablo then the reason for his existance was unknown .

“Baal was different than us . Maybe, he is the ‘only one’ . So, we never knew what his thoughts at all . ”

It was an eye opening statement even though Gremory was being indirect .

In short, Baal was definitely a different being than the ‘other demon gods’ .

Gremory was recognizing him as such, and based on Lerajie’s actions, that seemed to be a true statement .

‘Demon gods’ were originally earth humans . ’

Muyoung was a bit more certain .

Although he thought that possibility based on the fact that Dantalian had a human name, and by seeing the flashbacks in his memory, he had only been certain after capturing Lerajie .

That the demon gods were originally humans .

Perhaps, what was different about Baal could be that his origin might not have been a ‘human’ .

Muyoung thought for a while .

Perhaps, as far as demon gods were concerned, ‘having been human in the past’ might be seen as a weakness . If he asked Gremory, there was a possibility that their barely established relationship could be damaged .

However, he could not deny the curiosity . How a human could become a demon god . How a demon, a completely different race, could become a deity .

“You must have many questions . ”

“As I’m not originally a demon, you can’t help me . ”

“Human… You’re a human . ”

Gremory knew of Muyoung’s origin . Although he had the ash gray wings, she has uncovered Muyoung’s origins through her sharp insight . As she knew it, Muyoung did not try to hide it .

Gremory continued, with her eyes closed .

“If it was Baal, who had made the Sky Lord, then there must be a deep meaning . Perhaps, it was due to ‘his’ appearance… . ”

“He?”

“Since you are under my control, there is no reason to hide it . Solomon has come . It was Solomon and Diablo…who had eliminated Haures . ”

Muyoung was lost for words for a moment .

Solomon was in the demon world?

On top of that, it was the first time that he had encountered the information that Solomon and Diablo were together .

It was a reminder that the demon gods’ loathing for Solomon was beyond imagination .

It was same for Gremory, as well . Along with the fear, the hate was displayed in plain sight .

“The coalition demon gods must have also realized it . ”

“They won’t think that Solomon has, in earnest, begun mobilizing . They won’t know that Solomon also controls Diablo . ”

Muyoung rubbed his chin .

Could this information be used?

At this point in time, the coalition was only focused on eliminating the opposition .

Solomon was the perfect decoy to confuse them .

“Start a rumor . ”

“Solomon’s appearance?”

“That Solomon is killing off the coalition demon gods . This should suffice . If destroying Haures and Lerajie was also Solomon’s work, the confusion will grow . ”

The problem was on policing the demons, but that part wasn’t his problem .

The demons under Gremory’s control looked only to Gremory .

They have been fully united in blind loyalty… .

“It will not be easily believed . ”

It would be a ludicrous story that it was Solomon, killing off only the coalition demon gods .

However, Muyoung had serious expression on his face .

“The opposing demon gods . I find it difficult to think that they are a perfect ‘coalition’ . There certainly are some inside the coalition, who has his leg on the other side . ”

“… . ”

Gremory was silent .

It was as Muyoung had expected .

“When the remaining four demon gods gather, the only thing to do is to let it slip out . With just that, the coalition will shake . ”

“You want the demon kings to split up and kill each other . ”

“Isn’t that the only way for the weak to overpower the strong? And if we were to win, they would back us over the radical coalition . ”

Most of the coalition overwhelmingly wanted the destruction of all races except the demon race .

On the other hand, the opposition wanted ‘status quo’, or ‘some form of co-existence’ .

As Muyoung spoke the cynical truth, Gremory laughed quietly .

“It’s like throwing eggs against a rock, but we are at the end of the road . We will try everything that we can possibly do . ”

The reason, a justification was crucial .

Muyoung definitely had a justification .

Muyoung, once again, looked at the Sky Lord .

‘Baal’s intention would be known if the Sky Lord’s purpose could be analyzed . ’

It couldn’t be known right away .

However, the Sky Lord’s purpose wouldn’t be known to Baal, either .

In the process of hunting the demon gods, the intel on the Sky Lord would be known for sure .

‘First… I should train before the demon gods gather . ’

He needed the time to adapt to the new powers .

Muyoung was a hidden sword .

If a sword could not be used when needed, it would just become a useless thing .

It was necessary to make sure that such thing would never happen .

A star shined . A red star, along with a blue star, colored the world .

Hyacinth, the beautiful girl, looked up to the sky .

With very flushed face .

“Ah-ah, my king is approaching . ”

Hyacinth, the goddess, was naked . There were tens of knights who stood by her, but no one dared to even give a look in her direction .

“You’re finally coming to see me . ”

Hyacinth waited .

Since having been born by separating from the celestial demons .

She was certain that her ‘king’ would, someday, come .

And the time has finally come .

“I have to get ready to meet him . The most holy welcoming party! The king would be pleased?”

The girl’s eyes sparkled more than any other time .

Finally, turning her head, Hyacinth spoke to the knights .

“Please go tell the Pope . To get ready to greet him . ”

“We’ll obey your order, O goddess!”

“We’ll obey your order, O goddess!”

The knights began to move like stiff puppets .

It wasn’t just them .

The allure that Hyacinth emanated has already overtaken the holy city of ‘Mulalan’ .

At last, one lone female knight, who has not been moving, approached Hyacinth and put a one piece dress on her .

“Seraphine, are you not excited?

It was Seraphine, the female knight .

The only one who has not been ‘allured’ in this city .

As a result, Hyacinth favored her .

However, Seraphine had a complicated look in her eyes .

She could not be resisted . Hyacinth was very innocent and pure . So even though it was cruel, it was hard to tell what deeds would be committed should she stop watching over her .

She did not know who ‘he’ was . However, Hyacinth used the expression of ‘he’, several times, in reference to him .

“He will be pleased as well . ”

“Yes . I hope that will be the case . ”

Hyacinth hummed .

Seraphine shook her head, inwardly .

She could not imagine the events that would take place in the future . It was just that she only hoped that ‘he’ was a normal being .
