Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 285

64. The moon and the sixpence are mine (1)

Zeke was lost in thought until late at night.

Actually, I didn’t really want power.

Of course, I would be grateful if they gave it to me, but I had no intention of deceiving my colleagues to gain power.

The reason Zeke was worried now was because of Raguel herself.

Raguel was abandoned by everyone

.

Even Yulgeum and Kamael seemed to pity her very existence and had no intention of covering up her actions.

That is why he must have accepted Gabriel’s restraint.

Raguel was now imprisoned.

But she maintained her innocence. That fact bothered Zeke.

Deus only shows interest because it looks fun. It was obvious that after a while, another incident would follow.

Yulgeum and Kamael were paying closer attention to the events that her fall would bring to this world.

I fondly remember the sight of her shedding bloody tears and crying out that she was being treated unfairly.

Somehow I couldn’t leave it alone.

I didn’t know that the warrior’s instinct to help those in pain had awakened.

Whatever the reason, I wanted to help her.

I didn’t know if he was corrupted and speaking gibberish, just like Yulgeum and Kamael Gabriel said.

If so, I wanted to find at least a clue to treating that condition.

“I guess I have no choice but to try.”

Since I have been chosen by Raguel, I will first repay that trust.

Zeke took a step into the sky at a time when everyone was asleep.

No matter how far it was, if you borrowed the power of the Death God Beast, you could get there in an instant.

Since the accommodation and Laguna Lake were located in the same Commonwealth of Erion, we arrived at our destination quickly.

In the center of the lake, only traces of what had been an island

remained.

Because of the fight between Deus and Laguna, the space itself was still unstable.

As soon as Zeke hit the ground, the surroundings became achromatic.

It was as if we were transitioning from reality into a dream. Or as if falling into a world of illusion.

And then a being appeared in front of him.

A guardian of light with brilliant white wings spread.

It was Raguel who had not fallen.

Zeke got down on one knee and

bowed his head.

“O great being. As you said, I came to you alone.”

Raguel nodded with a solemn expression.

“You are indeed a faithful man. “It’s fortunate, Zeke, that there is someone who retains light in this age filled with all kinds of frivolous things.”

“Yes, Raguel.”

“I am Raguel, but I am not Raguel. “It’s just a mark she left behind, so you don’t have to be too afraid.”

“I have no idea what the hell is going on.”

“It will be confusing. But you have to believe it. “You must believe that I, Raguel, have not fallen.”

“If there is anything I can do to help, I want to help. “What happened to Raguel?”

Raguel’s illusion sighed and lowered his head.

“Fallen angels are angels who have lost faith in my Lord. The reason God gave angels great strength and numerous powers is because he

wanted to protect the order of the world. However, they began to overestimate their own power and feel confident that they could do more. Some angels wanted to become gods and led numerous companions to establish a kingdom. God was heartbroken as he watched the angel’s fall, and I made a suggestion. “I have fallen and will rebel against God, so I hope that you will punish me forever and horribly.”

“I heard that you sacrificed yourself for everyone.”

“Yes. But it was… a trap. This was done by a being who pretended to be God,

but was afraid of my power to see through light. In the prison of eternity, I came to see the truth. “He was not the god I served.”

“How can that happen?”

“God rules over countless worlds. This world is just one of them. He is nowhere and everywhere. That’s why the devil got in between them. Even to this day, the fake god wears the mask of god and pretends to be god in this world. “Didn’t you say that mankind was destroyed

twice ?”

” yes.”

“If it were a world truly created by God, how could that be possible? The world created by God is destroyed! “I have never heard a stranger story than that.”

Zeke was a little confused.

But I was soon able to make up my mind.

“What can I do for you?”

“First, I will give you the power I promised you.”

When Raguel stretched out his hand, a huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake.

Light emanated from the center of the whirlpool and a beautiful woman’s hand emerged.

In his hand was a sword with a sacred cross engraved on it.

“It is the sword of light that judges. Just by carrying it on your body, your strength will become ten times stronger.”

The hand of the lake pushed the sword and handed it to Zeke.

I grabbed the sword without hesitation. At that moment, a force that made me lose my mind poured into my body.

The sword disappeared without a trace. Just as it did when he first

absorbed Suzaku and the Blue Dragon, the Sword of Light of Judgment took its place as a new weapon within Zeke’s body.

I put my hand down.

It was the power of an archangel.

It was nothing compared to Suzaku or Blue Dragon.

An immeasurable energy coiled within my body.

It was quiet, but it was more powerful than any force I had ever felt.

There was nothing to compare it to.

It felt like she was stronger than Deus, even stronger than the power

she felt when fighting Kamael .

“Of all the living beings in this world, only one tyrant can stand against you. The power that I, Raguel, possess will become entirely your power. “Do you feel that mighty power?”

“Really this power…

“Tell me. Even if you live another thousand lives, will you be able to obtain this power?”

“It seems impossible.”

“Swear just one word. Follow me to judge false gods. I will complete my revenge by killing the fake who brought destruction to the world

twice! “If you swear in one word, this power will be yours forever.”

Zeke looked at Raguel.

“Raguel.”

“Say your oath.”

“I want to help Raguel.”

“This is the way to help me.”

“But I don’t need this kind of power.”

“Is it not enough?”

“no. It’s too much. But I… to be honest,

I’m just a foolish person. How dare you judge God. Even if he is fake, he cannot be blasphemous.”

“Trust me.”

“I believe it. I want to help you because I believe in you. But we cannot dare to judge God. Raguel. There are many ways to prove your innocence. “How about we gather evidence and persuade the angels together?”

“Is that even possible! My word is the best. “Why do you refuse when you too can gain great power?”

“This is beyond my means.”

“If you ultimately refuse, I will take away the power I gave you.”

“It’s not originally mine.” The color of the landscape that had disappeared has returned. As if I had woken up from an illusion, the strength in my body

disappeared.

Zeke bowed his head to Raguel again.

“sorry. Please show me another way I can help.”

Raguel looked at Zeke blankly and then opened his mouth again. “Then I guess

I’ll have to lend you my legion .

”

“A legion?”

“I have a legion of tens of thousands of angels led by four horsemen. The white knights of conquest, the red knights of war, the black knights of famine, and the blue knights of death are loyal commanders who only listen to my orders. I will give them commands, and they will regard you as their master.”

Zeke was embarrassed and was about to refuse, but Raguel spoke again.

“Ruling my legion means

having greater power than any archangel. You will rule over them and help me. “Let us overturn this false world and lay the foundation for the return of the true Lord.”

“Raguel.”

“You’re not rejecting this story either, are you? It’s not a loan. “I will stamp my loyalty on them so that they will follow your orders forever.”

“The power of the Legion will not be needed to prove Raguel’s innocence. Isn’t the Legion also a power given by God? “I think it would be disrespectful to

hand it over to me .”

“Then what about eternal life?”

“Eternal life?”

“How will you be able to overcome the trials that are to come, since you have neither strength nor legion? I will give you eternal life. No death can take your soul away. Eternal life, which is different from immortality that simply does not die, literally means eternal life.”

“I am human. “It is natural to die once you are born.”

Zeke smiled and said.

“Raguel. I understand that it is difficult for you to believe in me, a worthless person .

But instead, I would like to ask you a favor. Please trust me. First, please tell me what I should do. “I will do my best to restore Raguel’s honor.”

Raguel stared at Zeke again.

I couldn’t speak for quite a long time.

Then I heard another person’s voice overhead.

“There is no use in tempting me. “That guy is an idiot.”

“Lord Deus!”

Deus landed on the ground.

“ You••••••

“Strength, power and eternal life. Will she be the world’s most beautiful woman next? Aren’t you mistaken about the character? “These are the things the devil presents when he knits together humans.”

“It really is the devil. “You can drive a wedge between angels and humans with just a few words.”

“There’s no need to set me up. If I had to ask, I’m on your side too.”

“What do you mean?”

“Zeek was sneaking somewhere at night, so I followed him and

he was doing something funny, right? Are you planning to deceive Yulgeum and Kamael and help Raguel?”

Zeke smiled awkwardly.

“Is that what happens?”

“Is that what happens? “You probably didn’t do it without knowing.”

“That••••••

“Did Raguel look pitiful?”

” yes.”

Deus looked back at Raguel.

“He’s like this. If you leave me alone, I will be deceived somewhere else, so I have to go with you. “I will help you too.”

“Why…

“For your information, I don’t move unless it’s for profit. “Swords and legions are fine, just prepare them with gold.”

Raguel’s illusion looked at Deus with frowning eyes.

Deus says.

“You’re trying to do something, right? Are you saying God is fake? Then we have to kick him out.”

Zeke spoke hurriedly.

“I can’t do such a profane thing.” Deus continued, pretending not to hear.

However, there must be a basis that can never be overturned

. yes?”

“ That’s••••••

“Shall we meet sometime? “That guy called God.”

“It’s impossible.”

“Well, that’s possible!”

“He said…

“I heard there’s something else in the world? But there is a way to get to that world.”
