Chapter: 204
BANG! CLAP – ! BANG! CLAP!
Amidst the serious atmosphere both from the empire and the Demon King’s forces, there was one place flowing with a frivolous vibe.
“Hey Young Lady, how about a cup of sweetened herbal tea with me today?”
Inside the strange space created by Gag God, an old man was throwing flirtatious lines at a beautiful elderly woman who looked younger than her age in a café that reeked of nostalgia.
“Ah, but Hyang promised to hang out with me today, didn’t she?”
Out of nowhere, another old man, burning with jealousy, started to nudge the elderly woman. Not far from where they sat, a burly old man rolled up the sleeves of his checkered shirt to show off his biceps.
“Gasp!”
“Oh my…”
As muscles honed from farming made an appearance, the elderly woman’s gaze naturally turned towards the old man.
“Ahem, ahem!”
At this, the other old man took off his shirt to flaunt his muscles. As his toned body appeared beside the white sleeveless shirt, the elderly woman’s attention swung back.
“Gahh, uhh!”
The old man next to her, eager for her attention, leaped onto the table and performed a dramatic bow.
“Ha! Ta-da!”
The relaxing café music morphed into traditional tunes, and suddenly, a thick white rope appeared between the walls. An old man dressed in traditional garb began tightrope walking!
Whoosh!
On the other side, acrobatics worthy of a circus commenced with flaming hoops!
This chaos was a whole new level of madness.
In a corner of this wild fiasco, sat two beings of far higher status, facing each other.
“What’s the point of all this?”
“‘That one,’” also known as the Demon God, glared coldly at Gag God, tapping away at his mobile phone as if he was just another human. (For convenience, I will refer to them as the Demon God from now on.)
“Huh? What was the question again?”
She gave a lackluster response, seemingly lost in her mobile game, almost like she knew how to get under someone’s skin.
“My heart is burning hotter!”
Crash!
In the meantime, the elderly men’s talent show reached its climax, and soon enough, someone even jumped out of the window!
“Woohoo! I won!”
Gag God chuckled happily, shaking her shoulders and then downed the drink in front of her. It was cola.
“Wow –..! Want to try some? Huh? Huh?”
She insisted that anyone from a ‘medieval fantasy world would have their eyes bulging and weep at such a beverage’ as she pushed the cola towards the Demon God.
With arms crossed, the Demon God’s indifferent face turned skeptical.
“What kind of scheme is this? If you use so much power like this, you’ll get kicked out of the dimension!”
As he said, no matter how immense the status or causality a being may possess, if they use their powers haphazardly like this to warp dimensions, the world would expel that great status for its own survival.
You’d think a world without a proper god couldn’t evict someone of such high status, but the principle’s simple: it’s like filling a cup with water until it overflows.
If things went as the Demon God expected, Gag God would be kicked out of here before a day passed in real time.
Tick-tock, as time slipped by, she wasn’t wasting her power but chattering away instead.
Gag God puckered her lips as she reached for the cola untouched by the Demon God.
“I don’t wanna share, but since you played along, I’ll give you some info!”
Hearing this, the Demon God frowned deeply. The way Gag God easily lowered his status and dragged him to places like karaoke bars or PC cafes for pointless antics was nothing short of humiliating.
For a being of such profound status, being forced to interact like this was pure humiliation. Just the thought of it could ignite the urge to obliterate dozens of worlds.
The fact that a being with such high status was expressing anger like a mere human proved that Gag God’s status was indeed far above that of the Demon God.
Knowing this, the Demon God suppressed the rising anger and listened carefully to Gag God’s words.
“First off—why such a waste of power, you ask? Simply put, I’m not that interested in this world.”
“Then why did you attack me?”
“Eh, I didn’t attack you. I didn’t erase you, did I?”
With a nonchalant face, Gag God dropped a chilling remark, her smile wide as if imagining something funny.
“It’s like, you know how parents sometimes just watch their kids play at a play café, feeling satisfied, but rush over if the kids fall or get into a fight?”
“…What are you talking about?”
“Oh wait, I guess I need to make it more relatable in a fantasy way? Hmm—oh! It’s like a shepherd who lets the livestock gorge on grass, only to rush over to chase away a predator trying to eat them! Or like fending off a wasp trying to rob a beehive…”
Just as the Demon God’s brow furrowed even more in confusion over those nonsensical comparisons, suddenly—
Clang!
“Haha! I did it! I really did it!”
“Oh, no…”
One of the old men showing off his strength to the elderly woman had completely shattered Gag God’s space while grinning like a fool.
True to their nature, it was a response without sense.
“I’ve had my fun. Time to get going! It was fun!”
“…!”
After saying this, she tore apart the space. The Demon God, feeling the rising status immediately, was overwhelmed with joy.
“Oh, I almost forgot before I leave!”
She spun around and glanced at the fading figure of the foreign deity as it lost its body and even its shape.
“Since we played together, you owe me half!”
She flicked her fingers in the air like a cat clawing at something.
[ KRAAAAACK! ]
A portion of the Demon God’s status and causality was forcibly stripped away and absorbed by Gag God.
“It may be a bit lacking, but I’ll let it slide! So, bye-bye!”
Having extorted a bit from the Demon God, Gag God promptly disappeared with a poof.
[ Ugh… ]
Facing a pain she had never experienced, the Demon God swallowed a groan. At that moment.
Vrum!
Boom! Crash!
The whole Demon King’s Castle began to tremble. A multicolored magic circle shimmered brilliantly, and a dazzling light from who-knows-where illuminated the castle like it was mid-day.
His gaze was drawn to the surging magic circle deep within the castle and the mysterious light. At first, he scoffed, thinking it was just the fleeting struggles of mortals.
But as his emotions bounced all over the place, he realized that his status hadn’t fully recovered, and the resolute figure of the Demon King emerged.
[ ‘What are they trying to do?’ ]
Perhaps because his status wasn’t fully back, an unknown sense of unease began to creep in.
The gigantic magic circle shone brightly as it levitated into the air, intricate patterns and runes glimmering like they were alive, saturating the space.
The divine artifacts that had been resting deep within the castle began to radiate dazzling light, adding power to the magic circle. The Demon God realized that this light was not just light; it was meant to bind and seal him.
[ ‘How dare they..’ ]
The Demon God felt profound contempt for the mortals attempting to challenge him. His unfulfilled status combined with those feelings wreaked havoc on him.
Unbeknownst to him, his essence wavered, revealing a faint form. The Demon King looked up at the Demon God, who filled the sky like an aurora.
‘Yes, this is good enough.’
With that thought, she lifted her dagger.
The hilt of the dagger had a deep red ruby that shone even in darkness, almost alive as it emanated a dim, ominous glow.
The blade was forged from dark metal, sharp yet heavy. The white runes carved along the blade shimmered, like serpentine scales reflecting light, enhancing the ominous aura.
The entire dagger emitted a sinister energy, invoking feelings of dread and reverence from those who approached.
The dagger in her hand was one of the magic swords, just like Lian’s partner, able to return miracles or strength in exchange for a price.
Without hesitation, she raised the dagger. The blade, sharp enough to cut through wind, aimed at the sky full of the Demon God.
‘…Experience more worlds for me, and love more things on my behalf.’
The tip of the blade slowly began to move upward towards her chest. Without second thoughts, she plunged the dagger into her own heart.
Puuuk!
“Guh…!”
With a small groan, the magic blade ignited ominously.
The price she paid was ‘all of her,’ and the magic sword returned what she had wished for in exchange.
[ …! ]
A menacing crimson light surged into the sky. If she had been fully recovered, the strength wouldn’t even tickle her, but now threads of power reached out, beginning to envelop the Demon God.
