Chapter 349: 349

Duet Between Good and Evil wasn’t a main scenario . The classification belonged to the hidden scenario but strictly speaking . . . the scenario was akin to an event .

I left Asmodeus for the moment and greeted my party members . There were too many things to blindly enter the scenario .

“Hyung! Are you okay?”

The party members had different expressions but the concern on their faces was the same . They probably had many questions .

I was reminded of the situation before I passed out and explained the whole story to the party members step by step . In return for saving my mother and Yoo Sangah, I was hit by the aftermath of the probability storm .

Jung Heewon listened calmly to the story and asked, ” . . . Yoo Sangah-ssi’s soul is inside you?”

“To put it simply, yes . “

“If there was such a way, why . . . “

“I wasn’t sure about the success . ”

Jung Heewon sighed and leaned down with her hands pressed against her knees . “Then Sangah-ssi really died . . . “

“Then is Sangah unni alive?”

Lee Jihye muttered while sitting down . She couldn’t seem to believe it and asked again several times . Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung had tears in their eyes . Lee Hyunsung was standing next to them like a bear .

“She is alive . And . . . ” I stared straight at Lee Jihye and said, “I’ll revive her again . “

Yoo Sangah was obviously alive . However, it was hard to say she was living in her present condition .

Jung Heewon asked, “How? If it is similar to Biyoo . . . “

“I was thinking of reincarnation but not into a dokkaebi . In the first place, the existences that can become dokkaebis are fixed . The Flood of Disasters was a special case . “

The 41st round Shin Yoosung had been wandering around the Star Stream for thousands of years . However, that wasn’t the case with Yoo Sangah .

“To save Yoo Sangah, I need to go to a certain ‘star . ‘ It is called the ‘island’ among the transcendents . “

In the distance, Kyrgios pricked up his ears at the word ‘island . ‘ Maybe Kyrgios knew about the island . While I wasn’t here, he had already gone to the island .

“The problem is that I can’t go there right now . “

Jung Heewon glanced at Asmodeus who was wandering around the back of the Factory . “Is it due to the invitation that the demon king brought?”

I nodded . My mind was complicated . I had to go to the island to save Yoo Sangah and also participate in the Duet Between Good and Evil . The more urgent thing right now . . .

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is looking at you . ]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is asking for your help . ]

My thoughts were complicated . I couldn’t believe Uriel would say this . Was the situation in Eden that bad? However, if I attended Duet Between Good and Evil . . .

「 (Dokja-ssi, I told you . A quest should always be preceded by a quest . ) 」

. . . Eh?

‘Yoo Sangah-ssi?’

「 (Yes . ) 」

‘Did you wake me up before?’

「 (That’s right . ) 」

It was surprising . How did she talk to me across the Fourth Wall? Even Nirvana couldn’t . . .

「 (I’ll give you a more detailed explanation later but now you should focus on the problem at hand . I’ll cut to the chase . Dokja-ssi must attend the Duet Between Good and Evil . ) 」

‘But . . . ‘

Yoo Sangah must be reading Ways of Survival in the Fourth Wall . Maybe she guessed my plans through Ways of Survival .

「 (It doesn’t matter if my reincarnation is late . You don’t know it but this library is pretty comfortable . ) 」

‘But . . . ‘

「 (In addition, I think attending Duet Between Good and Evil will help when moving towards the next main scenario, right?) 」

Yoo Sangah was right .

‘Please endure it a bit, Yoo Sangah-ssi . I’ll let you live again . ‘

Yoo Sangah was faintly smiling . I looked back at the party members and outlined the current situation . “The aftermath of the last scenario isn’t over but something new has come up . I’m sorry . Even so, I must attend this scenario . “

Lee Hyunsung heard my words and puffed up his chest . “Dokja-ssi, I don’t care . I have already rested comfortably and want to move quickly . “

“That is only Hyunsung ahjussi . I wanted to get some rest . . . “

“Are we all going?”

“I think we should leave Seolhwa-ssi and Gong Pildu behind . We need a minimum number of people to manage the industrial complex . “

The next moment, light flashed in the air .

[The ‘Duet Between Good and Evil’ is calling you . ]

“I guess it has started . “

Along with the message, our bodies were surrounded by light . The forced transfer to the scenario began .

***

The Duet Between Good and Evil was literally a feast of good and evil . A banquet after one long scenario ended in order to identify ‘good and evil’ .

One might wonder about the meaning behind such an action but for some constellations, this ‘discrimination’ had a very important meaning . It was because the overall discrimination of good and evil would change the status of the absolute good and absolute evil system, leading to a difference in the next quarter .

[It has been a long time since there was a banquet of this size . ]

“Haven’t you seen it often?”

[I didn’t always attend . This is a bit unusual . ]

Asmodeus gazed at the exterior of the magnificent banquet hall and smiled . In fact, the banquet was unusual in not just size but also position . The moment we were summoned, there was a crowd of people walking across the bridge .

The constellations and incarnations passing through the bridge and the dokkaebis waiting to broadcast the scene . In addition, there were the constellations belonging to the independent media of the Star Stream .

Asmodeus said, [Then I will enter first . Don’t be uncomfortable and take it easy . Above all, you are the most likely candidate to win a prize this season . ]

. . . Candidate to win a prize?

Before I could say anything, Asmodeus flicked his fingers and his clothing behind a gorgeous black dress . He started to enter the hall by crossing the bridge with an elegant walk .

[Devil of Fury and Lust!]

[The demon king Asmodeus laughed!]

There was the should of shutters as the bridge flooded with light . Asmodeus smiled at the dokkaebis and glanced back at me with a charming expression .

Once again, I realized what a great existence Asmodeus was . Every one of Asmodeus’ steps caused images of the battlefield where he fought to flow . I didn’t know how many people he fought to be upgraded .

[The demon king ‘Devil of Lust and Fury’ ― is currently ranked 13th among demon kings . ]

The guy who was 32nd rank not long ago was now at the top of the pyramid . It was a huge upgrade .

“We will enter . “

I looked around at the party members but their expressions were strange .

“Ahjussi . Is it okay if we go in?”

“D-Dokja-ssi . I didn’t know it would be a place like this . . . “

Jung Heewon, who visited Eden, took a deep breath to seek calmness but the situation of the other party members was serious .

Lee Jihye was nervously biting her nails while Lee Hyunsung’s huge bear-like shoulders trembled . I could feel Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung holding my hands tightly .

“It’s fine . We received an invitation . “

I was also nervous but I smiled to reassure my companions .

“Don’t be intimidated . We’ve been fighting hard in the meantime . It doesn’t matter what they think of us . It is more important that we build a history that doesn’t shame us . “

“Dokja-ssi is right . What are we doing? We should enter quickly . “

The other members seemed to wake up due to Jung Heewon’s strength . Lee Jihye struck her red cheeks .

Once the preparations were over, I walked over the opening bridge with my companions . The path was covered with jewels and minerals, including obsidian and diamonds . There was also a river of stories flowing under the bridge .

The famous constellations, including Asmodeus, had already passed over so the crowd didn’t pay attention to us . To be exact, I wanted it to be like that .

[Ah, that person . . . !]

[Demon King of Salvation!]

Now my modifier was quite famous and some of the constellations recognized me . At the same time, the dokkaebis broadcasting glanced this side . The exclamation began like a small clap and soon spread throughout the bridge .

[The enemy of Olympus!]

[Kim Dokja’s Company has come!]

Attention was concentrated on us in an instant . The huge amount of attention caused the walking party members to be embarrassed . Some of the constellations on the bridge even reached out towards us . Messages poured in from all over the place and placards swayed .

[Handsome Kim Dokja!]

[9158 FOREVER]

I hoped that the party members wouldn’t look at them but Jung Heewon spoke to me .

“Dokja-ssi, are you an idol?”

“Heewon-ssi is the same as me . “

-Judge of Evil! I’ve been watching your scenario!

-Heewon unni is so cool!

-I support the love of the Steel Sword!

Lee Hyunsung was startled and glanced over frightfully . “D-Dokja-ssi! They are talking about me . “

-The ‘Korean History Preservation Association’ is supporting Lee Jihye, the successor of the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare .

Lee Jihye frowned . “These guys . . . “

-Shin Yoosung ☆ Lee Gilyoung are the best!

I felt a strong force from Shin Yoosung holding my hand .

“Ahjussi, I feel terrible . “

“Why am I and Shin Yoosung . . . “

I knew that the reputation of our nebula had increased since Gigantomachia . In fact, the Mass Production Maker had said so . Still, I never imagined the reaction would be so huge .

[Demon King of Salvation, say a few words!]

[How do you feel about being nominated the most likely to win a prize this season?]

The microphones coming from all over the place caused me to panic . When I thought about it, this was the first time in my life that I had received such attention . At this time, there was someone who saved me from being embarrassed by the dokkaebis .

[■■, aren’t you getting lost?]

The distinctive platinum hair spread through the air and emerald green eyes blazed with fury .

[R-Run away!]

[Crazy angel!]

The dokkaebis scattered and an archangel in a black silk dress reached me .

[Kim Dokja! You came!]

Uriel hugged me and rocked with me in her arms . I felt happy and embarrassed at the same time and removed Uriel .

“Uriel, it has been a while . “

[Yes yes!]

I felt good when I saw Uriel’s glittering eyes . I was glad to see her again . I was thankful but . . . Didn’t she call me because Eden was in danger?

” . . . Excuse me? Don’t you see your incarnation here?”

[H-Heewon! Hahahat! Of course, it is also a pleasure to meet Heewon! Let’s enter!]

Uriel turned away from the crowd and guided us to the banquet hall . I entered the hall and felt overwhelmed with admiration . The demon kings and constellations were separated on two long tables .

On the left were the 72 demon kings─73 now─ while the right table contained the constellations of the absolute good system, including the archangels of Eden .

Our position meant everyone present was focused on me . It was as if they were asking me what table I was going to sit on .

[The demon king ‘Monarch of Stars and Logic’ is paying attention to your choice . ]

[The demon king ‘Black Mane Lion’ is wondering about your choice . ]

[The constellation ‘Scribe of Heaven’ is watching you . ]

[The constellation ‘Morning Star Goddess’ is looking at you . ]

Sadly, this time there seemed to be no other choice .
