Chapter 370: Yeah, No
I dont know. The boy with blank eyes shook his head.
Tai Wuji remained silent. He was having a hard time understanding what was going on. In that case, has the fear of the angels
They are all toward Lucifer, along with the fear of the humans. With the way things are now, the negative emotions cannot be absorbed.
Tai Wujis eyebrows flinched. He was able to understand the fear of the humans for Lucifer since he had made his appearance in the empire not long ago, but how could even the fear of the angels be directed at him as well? The one who had massacred the angels at SantAngelo and stole the legacy was him, not Lucifer.
What the hell is going on? Tai Wuji muttered with his eyes narrowed.
Regret momentarily crossed his mind; maybe it would have been a good idea to attack SantAngelo without putting masks on.
Provided we were guaranteed to succeed.
Since Tai Wuji had been unsure if he really would be able to steal the Demon Gods legacy, he and the other Constellations of Evil had worn masks. If they had failed while they were bare-faced, the situation would have been much worse than now. Tai Wuji set aside his regret and returned to his usual expressionless face.
What will you do? the boy asked.
Theres only one thing we need to do, Tai Wuji replied calmly.
He did not know why the angels thought Lucifer had been the one to steal the legacy, but it did not change their objective.
To plunge the continent in fear, and to direct that fear toward the Demon God.
To perfect the Demon Gods legacy and create the Key of the Demonic Sea, they needed an enormous amount of negative emotions.
Not a difficult task.
Plunging the continent into fear with its inhabitants fearing for their demise, and each person not even daring to utter the Demon Gods name it was far too easy. Humans and angels were weak, and the gods were not able to intervene in any way.
Tai Wuji turned to look across the endless ocean. Across the ocean was Aernor.
And
He looked up. Across the dimensional wall, there was Huan, Tai Wujis home world, and the world managed by Gaia. These three worlds were known as the Triad, and
They will soon bow down before Lord Bauli, the Constellation of Despair muttered.
***
Unfortunately, Oh Kang-Woo had not been able to fulfill his secondary goal because the corpses of the ancient demonic beasts were being investigated by the angels. Hundreds of them were swarming around the corpses to investigate all sorts of things, so it was not easy to swipe the corpses.
Kang-Woo decided to come back once the angels were about to dispose of the corpses, and went back to Arnan for now. There was a massive commotion in the imperial palace due to Uriels appearance and Kang-Woos disappearance.
Find him!! Find him even if you have to scour the entire continent!!
Iris was nagging at the imperial army, and Kim Si-Hun had already set out to the north along with Balrog to chase after Kang-Woo. So had Halcyon and Echidna No, everyone except for Lilith and Vernaak had already set out for the north.
Feeling a phantom headache, Kang-Woo put his hand on his forehead while he read the imperial notice that whoever found him would receive an astronomical reward and be granted a noble peerage.
What a fucking mess.
It was his fault for leaving without a word, but this was far too much of an overreaction.
Welcome back, Master Kang-Woo. Lilith elegantly walked up to Kang-Woo while he was looking down at the imperial notice.
She was giggling while covering her mouth with her hand as if she found the situation highly entertaining.
Kang-Woo sighed and remarked, You shouldve stopped them.
Hohoho. You know how unyielding Si-Hun can be. I barely managed to convince him to take Balrog and the others with him when he was about to chase after you all by himself.
Call the others back first.
They would only have an awkward encounter with the angels who were in the middle of cleaning up after the situation if they were to arrive in the north right now.
Lilith nodded with a smile. I already have.
She seemed to have expected Kang-Woo to give her such an order. Kang-Woo was about to scold her that she shouldve stopped everyone from going if she knew this was going to happen, but he shook his head; after all, he was ultimately at fault for heading to SantAngelo without a word.
Oh right, Master Kang-Woo. Lilith walked up to him, clung to his arm and leaned on him. Her hands were slightly trembling. Please let us know before you leave next time.
Kang-Woo remained silent and imagined how he wouldve felt if the roles were reversed; if Han Seol-Ah had charged into enemy lines before he had known it.
Im sorry. Kang-Woo gently patted Liliths head.
She smiled widely. Fufufu. I believed you would come back.
Well I had something to tell you in private, so I guess it kind of worked out.
Something to tell me?
Kang-Woo nodded. Lilith was one of the very few people who knew his true plan, so it was a good idea to let her know what was going on. He told her about what had happened with the Constellation of Agony and the angels back in the north.
Mm, Lilith expressed while putting her index finger on her lips. As youve said, its nothing but good for the Constellations of Evil.
It couldnt be helped.
To focus all attention on Lucifer, Kang-Woo needed to take the heat off of the Constellations of Evil. Lilith nodded; it was better to focus on one prey than to divide ones focus on two and risk losing them both.
In that case, are you planning on continuing to conceal the appearance of the Constellations of Evil? Lilith asked.
Until the high elves appear, at the very least.
He could also claim that the Constellations of Evil were working with Lucifer, but considering the Constellations of Evil were putting in the work, attention would naturally end up focusing on them instead of Lucifer.
Though it might not matter who I use since either would drive the continent to its collapse.
Whoever the fear was directed at, it did not matter to Kang-Woo as long as the continent was placed on the brink of collapse.
No.
Kang-Woo shook his head after thinking momentarily. He was unable to control the Constellations of Evil. He needed to be in complete control for him to create flashy and exciting situations with minimal casualties.
And
Having multiple targets to fear might have a negative effect. Emotions could not be set ablaze endlessly; it would wear down and fade over time. For fear to be concentrated, there could not be more than one target for that fear.
No matter how I think about it
Just Lucifer was good enough as the evil being that would bring collapse to the continent.
Until then, Ill keep the focus entirely on Lucifer while concealing the Constellations of Evil as best I can. Lilith, once your information network is complete, regulate information so that the Constellations of Evil arent brought to light.
As you command, Master Kang-Woo. Lilith slightly raised the hem of her skirt and bowed elegantly. But
Lilith stared at Kang-Woo in worry. She had heard from him about his battle with the Constellation of Agony, as well as the fact that the culprit who had stolen the legacy possessed power on another level to that of the Constellation of Agony.
My king.
Lilith stared at Kang-Woo while hesitating to speak. Her expression was heavy as if she didnt know how to bring it up. Kang-Woo was easily able to figure out what she was worried about.
What? You think Im gonna lose to them? he asked.
N-No, thats not it, Lilith stuttered as she turned away.
Kang-Woo was actually on the money. Although he was the Demon King who had ruled the Ninth Hell, his enemies were gods that had acquired Deific Essence. In terms of pure power, Kang-Woo was hopelessly outmatched.
Come to think of it, I remember you making that face before. Kang-Woo smirked and lightly placed his hand over Liliths frozen mouth.
Are you talking about the time right before your battle against Bael?
Yeah.
At the time, Kang-Woos difference in power compared to Bael had been overwhelming. Even when Kang-Woo managed to defeat Bael, he had not managed to surpass him.
Lilith. Kang-Woo smiled. And what happened at the end?
Bael had been an absolute monster so overwhelmingly powerful that Kang-Woo had not managed to surpass him even to the very end. However
Which one of us won?
Kang-Woo had won. He overcame the despairingly overwhelming difference in strength and managed to come out victorious.
My king
Liliths eyes widened. Shivers ran down her spine and throughout her body. The ends of her hair unconsciously turned into tentacles, and they turned red as if they were burning.
Lilith looked up at Kang-Woo. Although he was talking as if it had been nothing, she remembered the pain, suffering and humiliation that he had to endure for that victory.
Ah
This was the kind of person Kang-Woo was. No matter what happened, whatever was blocking his path, he would always walk forward.
Ahh, my king. Lilith breathed heatedly as she became aroused. She put her arms around Kang-Woos neck and kissed him passionately. She whispered sexily, I would like to go back to my true form, just for today. I want to make love to you in my true form, not in this ugly shell.
Kang-Woo smiled faintly and stroked Liliths hair, which was slowly turning into tentacles. He could feel the genuine passion in her eyes. He did not hesitate to answer.
Yeah, no. Go back.
Over my dead body.
