Chapter 315

I could hear the roaring sound of flames and a wall of hot fire appeared between me and Michael . The frowning Michael stepped back while shaking his hands .

[ . . . What are you doing?]

[Get lost . ]

Michael stared at Uriel for a moment before smiling .

[Uriel, you must’ve gone crazy after quitting demon hunting . ]

A purple energy started to overflow wildly in Michael’s body .

[The constellation ‘Saviour of Corruption’ is preparing the ‘Demon King Slayer’ story . ]

Demon King Slayer . It was the same story that Yoo Jonghyuk of the 1863rd round had .

The green meadow was dyed with purple waves . The grass withered and an eerie sensation rose from my feet .

Demon King Slayer was a story that had a near invincible power against demon kings . I could never win against Michael as long as he had this story .

Michael’s status aimed at me but someone blocked it .

“Archangels are basically ruthless?” Jung Heewon was standing in front of me with the Sword of Judgment . Her shoulders were faintly trembling and her spirit was shrinking back . Nevertheless, Jung Heewon was brave . The will of a human withstood the pressure in front of the archangel’s killing intent . Behind such a Jung Heewon stood Uriel .

There was a blazing glow in the background . Hellfire rose and the fields of Eden were filled with sparks .

I gulped as the situation reached the bursting point .

Uriel was one of the top five strongest archangels . She had the highest voice in Eden among the constellations of the absolute good system .

Even so, her opponent was Michael . An unmatched archangel with all types of combat abilities . In Eden, there was no archangel beyond Michael in pure combat power alone .

[The constellation ‘Friend of Justice and Harmony’ is dissuading ‘Saviour of Corruption’ . ]

[The constellation ‘Guardian of Youths and Travel’ is looking at the ‘Saviour of Corruption . ‘]

[The constellations of the absolute good system are criticizing the ‘Saviour of Corruption . ‘]

Michael didn’t back down despite the messages pouring from the sky . Rather, he seemed to find it funny .

[Yes, it’s time to show who is the strongest in Eden . ]

At the same time, Michael’s purple and white aura simultaneously formed around his hands . The force swirled around both hands . The aura soon turned into a two-handed sword . Sweat flowed down my body . This jerk, where did he get this star relic . . . ?

[The constellation ‘Scribe of Heaven’ is warning the ‘Saviour of Corruption . ‘]

A huge storm broke out and the sparks in the surroundings were instantly extinguished . This was the power of Eden’s highest constellation, Metatron . At the very least, this huge pressure couldn’t be countered in Eden . The violence created silence as Michael belatedly dispersed his momentum .

Michael stared up at the sky for a while before grumbling, [ . . . Even you? Eden seems to be gone now . ]

Michael turned around and started to move away . The heads of demon kings were hanging from his waist like fruit .

[Head of Grand Duke Semida . ]

[Head of Grand Duke Graphio . ]

Goosebumps covered my body . Some of the grand dukes were equivalent to lower-grade demon kings . Yet he hung their heads like they were toys .

Once Michael completely disappeared over the hill, Jung Heewon sighed and put away her sword .

I turned my head and saw Uriel looking this way .

Archangel Uriel . She was different from when I had seen her at the Constellation Banquet . She wore Eden’s uniform with cross earrings and looked elegant . The usual mischievous feeling couldn’t be found as nobility overflowed from her body .

[Kim Dokja . . . ]

She stared at me with complicated eyes before suddenly making a startled expression . Then she turned towards Jung Heewon like she was avoiding my gaze .

[It’s nice to see you . Is this the first time you’ve met me like this?]

Jung Heewon’s lips were slightly parted as she faced Uriel . Perhaps it was a type of excitement . Indeed, this was the first time Jung Heewon had seen Uriel . The Uriel in front of us right now was in a shape where her incarnation body and her true self were united . The archangel in front of us was the true nature of the Demon-like Judge of Fire .

[Come along, the scribe is waiting . ]

***

” . . . How long do we have to wait?”

Jung Heewon and I were immediately taken to Eden’s palace . Eden was a lot more modest than I expected . I was familiar with the depiction from Ways of Survival but it was certainly different from the other magnificent residences . There were small decorations that didn’t give any feeling of pretenses . The murals and statues decorating the monotonous white gave off a curiously humble feel . The problem was that such modest made my wait even more boring .

-Wait here . A guide will soon come .

Uriel left me here and disappeared somewhere with Jung Heewon . I wanted to see Eden as well . . . I was feeling a bit disappointed .

. . . Perhaps it was because of what happened in the 1863rd round . I left Uriel’s colleague, Jophiel there . It was unavoidable if I received blame .

[Kim Dokja, you came?]

I raised my head with blank eyes and an angel sitting on a cloud was looking down at me . The appearance was in the early teens with curly hair . The angel looked down at me with half sleep eyes and I got up . “Are you Raphael?”

Raphael nodded .

Guardian of Youths and Travel, Raphael . This world’s Eden seemed to be in good shape . After Uriel, I was glad to see Raphael . By the way . . . was this the archangel who really repelled the fearsome Asmodeus?

[How did you find out about the secret portal?]

“I was told by Jophiel . “

[How does it feel to be in Eden?]

“Good . “

[You look sleepy?]

I hurriedly changed my expression and smiled . Raphael guided me through the corridor from the parlour . As we walked through the outer corridor, the scenery of the garden could be seen through the window . The sheep that were grazing on the grass cried out as they looked up at me . I watched the sheep and wondered,

“There really are lambs in Eden . “

[Yes, thyey’re good when you can’t sleep . ]

” . . . Are you saying you count them?

[You’ve probably seen it too . They are the one who appear when you close your eyes and think of

sheep before you sleep . ]

I was surprised because it was a story that didn’t appear in Ways of Survival . Were they really the sheep that people counted before going to bed?

[I was lying . ]

” . . . “

I stared at Raphael in a dumbfounded manner . Raphael laughed and started talking again .

[Do you know? Originally there were no sheep in Eden . ]

“Are you lying again?”

[This is real . The sheep were brought by Uriel . ]

Uriel? Why?

[One day, the scribe gave Uriel a sub scenario . ]

The archangels of Eden received missions through the Scribe of Heaven . Understandably, every mission was reduced to a scenario . I was curious because this wasn’t in Ways of Survival .

“What scenario was it?”

[Bring 10 lambs . ]

Many scenarios in the Star Stream took the form of metaphors . In Eden, the metaphor of the sheep was obvious . In a nutshell, Metatron wanted Uriel to bring 10 worshippers .

” . . . Uriel brought real lambs?”

[Yes . It was 10 at first but they reproduced and grew too much . ]

It sounded like something Uriel would do .

The angels who managed the sheep could also be seen . The angels feed or shaved the sheep’s fur . Everything was beautiful as described in Ways of Survival . Some of them looked to this side and chatted with each other . One, two, three . . . the numbers went up more and more . Someone improvised a placard out of shaved fleece and started to wave it this way .

. . . What did it say?

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is making a stern expression . ]

The angels hurriedly scattered . I could see Uriel and Jung Heewon waving in the distance . Raphael clicked his tongue . [An angel is fond of fallen humans . ]

“Can you speak while moving?”

[Go in . The scribe is waiting . ]

I was standing in front of the scribe’s office . I took a deep breath before opening the door and entering .

The first thing that came into view were piles of books stacked up to the height of a person .

The pile of books was impossible to read in my lifetime and I involuntarily took a liking to the owner of the room . Anyone who liked books couldn’t be a bad person .

I was careful not to destroy the pile of books as I stepped into the office . Beyond the mountains of books, the table of the office could be seen . Then I saw a grey-haired archangel sitting in front of me with a tired face .

[You came . ]

It was a godly voice that couldn’t be compared to any constellation I had seen before . Metatron pushed up the frame of his glasses and smiled at me .

[Welcome, Demon King of Salvation . I am the Scribe of Heaven . ]

***

I came to Eden for two reasons . One was superficial and the other was a real errand .

[I would like to hear what happened in the other world line . ]

I nodded and started to explain . It went from the agreement with Secretive Plotter to the 1863rd round world, meeting the people there and leaving Jophiel behind .

I told the story . Some parts were honest, some were summarized and some things I didn’t say . Metatron listened to my story . Some stories were heard earnestly and some calmly . Some stories he listened to curiously .

[Secretive Plotter . . . ]

“Do you know him?”

Metatron smiled lightly .

[There are probably no constellations in this world who don’t know him . However, they don’t know who he is . ]

I closed my mouth . My story ended here .

[Thank you for telling me the story, Demon King of Salvation . ]

“No problem . “

[In the future, Eden will indeed be destroyed . ]

His voice was very casual for speaking about the destruction . It was a face that didn’t show the slightest agitation . I looked at this Metatron and asked, “Why did you call me? It isn’t just to hear the story . “

The Scribe of Heaven . He recorded everything in Eden and was the number two benevolent person in Eden . Metatron’s smile widened .

[Why do you think I called you?]

This was Metatron’s conversational style . He listened to his desires through the mouth of another person . I thought for a moment before replying . Perhaps this was a chance for me .

“I think you want to use me as a tool to stop the destruction . “

[You? What is useful about you?]

My figure was reflected in Metatron’s transparent eyes . Kim Dokja in one eye had white wings while Kim Dokja in the other eye had black demon wings .

“I am a demon king who hasn’t chosen an alliance . “

I became the demon king of the 73rd Demon Realm through the selection . It was a position that had been vacant for thousands of years . Such a place was occupied by a newborn constellation .

I opened my last message log .

[The demon king ‘Black Mane Lion’ is inviting you to his demon realm . ]

[The demon king ‘Immeasurable Austerity’ is inviting you to his demon realm . ]

. . . .

They were messages that had accumulated from the moment I became a demon king .

“The destruction of Eden is triggered by the war with the Demon World . You’re trying to use me as a mediator . “

It was natural to get attention from other demon kings . Then what about Eden? Eden had shown an unusual interest in me before I became a demon king . I received the favour of the archangels, starting with Uriel . Based on the attitude that Eden normally took towards evil alignment constellations, their treatment of me was unusual .

“You need me . In the history of the Star Stream, I am probably the first person to receive the attention of the Demon World and Eden at the same time . “

I deliberately raised my voice . Considering future negotiations, I couldn’t be pushed back by Metatron here .

Metatron didn’t answer and stared at my face for a moment . The next moment, I realized that something was wrong . Along with an intense pressure, a bright light emerged from behind Metatron . It was a light gaze that I had felt someone before . I felt a dangerous force penetrating my essence .

[The exclusive skill ‘Fourth Wall’ is strongly activated!]

Sparks covered my eyes as I took a few steps back with a groan . The sparks gradually became smaller and Metatron expressed his admiration .

[ . . . As expected, you are also a chosen being of the ‘Fragment of the Last Wall . ‘]

“What . . . “

[The ‘Wall Dividing Good and Evil’ is looking at you with surprise . ]

I stared in front of me with surprise . Behind Metatron was a silver ‘wall . ‘ There was no doubt .

[The Fourth Wall is baring its teeth towards the Wall Dividing Good and Evil]

Wall Dividing Good and Evil . Archangel Metatron was the owner of a ‘wall’, just like me .
