Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 409 The aspect of a king (4)

The words were harsh, but there was sadness in his voice.

That sadness was directed at past history that had been destroyed by wind and rain.

There was a sense of respect and regret for the great previous generation that could not adapt to the word new and reality, but that no one could judge as having lived a wrong life.

“You may have already had many conversations with the religious leader, but I also want to ask you something.”

“Did it really have to be like this?”

“Yes.”

Gwangmazon opened his closed eyes and looked up at Seoliang,

“Master.”

He was referring to Seoliang as the leader of the religion. But no one here could smile.

Majon Gwang bowed.

“We cannot have a conversation among ourselves with the leader of the religion in front of us.

However, if you will allow me, I will be able to tell you the truth about why this disloyal old man committed the sins he has committed.”

A contrasting attitude from before.

The appearance had changed to the point where it felt strange, but Seoryang realized.

This is the true appearance of Gwangmazon right now. Despite his gentle and old appearance, I could tell that his heart was only directed towards the religious leader.

Xu Liang nodded.

“I allow it.”

“Thank you for the mercy of the Holy Spirit.”

Gwangmazon straightened his posture.

Ho Yaoseong asked as if he had been waiting.

“Now please tell me. “Why did you do this?”

“General, I guess what you’re curious about is not the reason.”

“…..”

“As I said in front of the Demon God Palace, you are a genius who deserves praise. A

brilliant person like you would not know why I did this.

However, what you want to know is that there was another way. “In the end, it must be my choice to give up on life.”

“I won’t deny it, but sometimes I think, you can search for the truth with your smart mind, but you can’t feel the truth.”

“…..”

“Please let me know.”

“You are a truly nasty person.”

Gwangmazon smiled bitterly. His smile resembled leaves falling on an autumn day.

“Do you know what the first emotion I felt when I heard the news that the former leader passed away was sadness?”

“I guess it wasn’t sadness.”

“Wrong. “I was angry.”

I was angry.

He was angry at his lord and god whom he had served his entire life. It was an extremely disloyal statement, but he was a man, not a god. Of course I could feel that way.

“As you know, the leader of the Jeondae Church is considered the greatest person in the history of Protestantism.”

“I know.”

“It’s not simply because of his power or political power.

He is the one who repaired our school, which would not have been surprised if it collapsed immediately, and led it to its peak in history.

“For us who were tired of the tyranny of the pre-war cult leaders and leaders, he was truly like a ray of light.”

Gwangmazon’s voice contained an unknown vagueness.

“I felt infinite glory simply by existing as an axis of the era under which he ruled.

“It would have been such an honor to go on a campaign with him and unleash the magic power I had learned and accumulated, but even

without that, I was able to live each day with full joy.”

“……”

“He was that kind of person. “

He is the one who made the heart beat again of a demon who tried to reform the Protestant religion in his youth, but ultimately failed and was imprisoned in prison. He is a

true god who, within a few years, pioneered a future that would not be strange to dismiss as a pipe dream.”

Even though it is not a passionate voice, it evokes a shiver in the listener.

And those here were able to feel again the empty space in the existence of Lee Cheon-sang. What a great magician and great religious leader he was.

“That is the kind of person who lives in the cool land of Jungwon. “They say he died in enemy territory in the north.

As I said, when I realized that fact, I felt anger deeper than ever. That anger could also be called a sense of betrayal.”

“Are you saying you felt betrayed by the former leader?”

“I know. The leader of the Sentai Church was not harmed by those Jungwon bastards.”

There was deep confidence in Gwangmazon’s voice.

“What kind of master would dare harm him? Even if the entire world attacked him, they wouldn’t be able to touch a single hair of his head.”

He pointed to the ceiling with his finger.

Although it was the ceiling, he probably meant the sky.

“He is the one who rejected even the commands of heaven.

In other words, he is the one who can decide for himself the place where he will return to heaven.

“The reason he was expelled from the church was not to save the religious leader; it was as if he was visiting his own place of death.”

No one will be able to know Lee Cheon-sang’s inner thoughts. Only Seo-ryang, who was connected to Lee Cheon-sang through the desire gate, was able to read a little bit of Lee Cheon-sang’s thoughts.

So Seo-ryang was surprised. This old loyalist knew as much about him as he did who looked into Lee Cheon-sang’s mind through the desire gate. “I thought about

it. Why didn’t he take us with him?

If he was going to go away, he could have just run amok with us, but I wondered why he went alone.”

Mudam deeply sympathized with Gwangmazon’s words. He is probably the only person who can understand Gwangmazon’s feelings.

“And then I realized. How much faith he has in his successor. At the same time, I realized something else.

“What did he want from the elders, including me?”

“What did you want?”

“manure.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes deepened.

Gwangmazon smiled.

“The leader said in Daejeon that he was so sad that he had nothing more to give that he even gave up his life.”

“……”

“What you said, sir, is indeed correct.

From the time he became the leader until the moment of his death, he lived solely for the sake of the church and his successors. In other words, it was a life only for the future.”

Gwangmazon, who was smiling, sighed.

“He has become fertilizer, so how can we live by patting ourselves on the stomach?

We cannot dare to do what he did not do. “Now there is only one thing we can do.”

“Is it becoming fertilizer?”

“That’s right. It’s unpleasant and dirty, so no one wants to touch it, but in ten or a hundred years, it

should become a rich fertilizer that will make Shingyo grow into a bigger tree than it is now.”

“So you have been rude to the religious leader.”

“That’s right.”

It was an action that was not easy to understand at first glance.

However, the people gathered here realized what Gwangmazon had planned and what kind of end he was trying to meet.

He was trying to become a traitor to the Protestant religion. He

took advantage of the religious leader’s absence to weaken his power. He tried to kill himself by becoming a traitor who divided the leaders.

The reason is simple. Other organizations are similar, but especially, there is only one way to unite religious forces such as Protestantism.

They are enemies.

They have different ideologies and personalities. The most powerful and sure way to get these other people to move with the same emotions is to create an enemy that no one can tolerate. A

common enemy strengthens the bonds between allies. The

stronger the enemy, the more evil, the tighter the organization. The joy and loyalty that will be

gained after defeating the enemy is so great and deep that it goes beyond imagination.

And since the person leading it will be the religious leader, the religious faith and loyalty will inevitably increase.

“Perhaps I, too, unconsciously distrust and I don’t know if there was. The power of the leader. So I thought I could be more faithful to my role than I thought.”

Gwangmazon looked up at Seoliang.

Another god’s eyes, looking down at him covered in blood, were blazing with blue lightning and red flames.

Gwangmazon felt dazzled.

The religious leader really did not look like a royal person.

If the previous leader was an absolutely invincible demon who oppressed even the sky, this person was a passionate king who was ready to take the world in his hands at any time.

It was the majesty of another god. There was a great Heavenly Demon who would lead the new religion to the light, and who had the potential to rise to a higher level than the previous religious leader.

“I still don’t think I was wrong. I think I found the right place to die.

“It is a pity that we cannot live together with the one and only Heavenly Demon whom He recognized in the new era, but there is nothing more ugly than having regrets about an old tree that has already died

.”

“……”

“My reputation and body must be dishonored and tainted. “He deserves to be brutally crushed in front of all the believers.”

“……”

“If the whole world were to know what this extremely evil and vicious old man had done, and

if the religious leader were to tear such a sinner to pieces and kill him to make it known that he was the only god, the religious people would become anxious…”

It was at that time.

“I would live each day trembling in fear.”

Everyone looked at Xiliang. Gwangmazon was no exception.

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I don’t need to hear any more. Your plan failed anyway.

If you really want to become a disgrace to the cultists and die, you will have to do something even more vicious than what you are doing now, but as I have already figured out, you cannot die even with fertilizer.”

“…That’s how it happened.”

Gwangmazon laughed helplessly.

“Hehe, this old man is like that. He’s a fool who can’t even die properly even if he wants to.”

Hu Yao-sheng felt heartbroken.

– Furthermore, he knew one more thing: how troublesome powerful idiots can be when they run rampant without being able to distinguish between their cause and their desires. Just as he had

laughed at him, Gwangmazon He was calling himself a fool.

Although the method may have been wrong, the word idiot does not suit a tiger who came to his own death.

Ho Yo-seong regretted what he had said and felt sorry for the Gwangmazon’s self-deprecation.

The Gwangmazon said Ho Yo-seong. I looked at him.

“Do you remember what I said?”

“…I remember.”

“Okay then, that’s it. I hope you behave wisely.”

Ho Yo-seong sighed.

He remembered what Gwangmazon had said to him with a smile.

– You don’t know about me. Why am I walking around like this, beating my bent back?

– There will come a time in the future when Shingyo will know my intentions. That’s it. At that time, you must make a wise choice.

A wise choice was nothing else.

No matter the method, it meant never hesitating even if you realized your loyalty. It

made you a sinner who will never be seen again in the world and made you the anxiety of the religious people. He meant to bury it.

How many bloody tears must he have shed before he said those words?

For the old expert who was loyal to the religious leader and loved the new religion, the pain must have been more severe than being torn alive.

Ho Yo-seong dared to do what the Gwangmazon wanted. I had no choice but to make it happen.

“Master.”

“……”

“It may be sudden, but… In any case, this is a situation where many people are aware of the sins committed by the senator, so we cannot let this go.”

“okay?”

“That’s right. That’s what he said…”

“I feel so excited that I want to hit him on the head with a drumstick.”

“Yes, that’s right… yes?”

Everyone looked at Xu Liang in surprise.

Seo-ryang said with an expression that said he was extremely tired.

“Both the people called senators and the generals are so busy that they are both doing evil.”
