Join the Server– Guwoooo!!!!
This too is an old memory.
The Demon God was watching a dragon roaring far in the distance.
A branch of the dragon race had invaded the Demon God’s territory.
– Why?
The Demon God was dumbfounded.
– Am I some kind of punching bag? Last time a horde of giants came in, and this
time, dragons? My fame is so lofty, so why on earth does a territorial invasion
keep occurring?
The Grand Commander who shakes the universe.
A great army formed by the gathering of countless families and races.
It would be normal to leave him untouched.
No, shouldn’t they avoid him and bypass his territory?
Yet, why?
– Do you guys know?
– …….
The subordinates read each other’s faces.
– Do not spare your words. If you continue to remain silent, you shall invade
the creepy insect planet completely naked.
– Heek! Will you be fine, Demon God-nim?
– I shall not go. You must conquer it with your own strength.
– How harsh!
The subordinates’ faces turned pale with just that, but the Demon God kept
adding merciless conditions.
– I shall send you without even clothes, let alone armor. You must also procure
food locally.
– S-Stop. Please, drop such plans!
– Therefore, speak!
Ultimately, the subordinates decided to choose a representative.
After a fair competition of rock-paper-scissors.
The crab-human from the ocean planet lost and stepped forward.
Of course, his hands were claws.
– Wicked bastards. I can only throw scissors….
The other subordinates were simply jubilant.
The crab who stepped forward finally muttered hesitantly.
– Demon God-nim, have you heard the story that the gods are cleaning up the
universe?
– Of course. For this body knows everything.
– Yes, of course. Then you must have also heard that there are those pushed out
by their pressure.
– Is that so? I commend you for delivering new information.
– …….
As the existences causing chaos increased too much, the gods set out for war.
But that was an affair far away from the Demon God’s territory.
– There are those who were pushed back and back until they reached all the way
here.
– What? My territory is being invaded because of the gods’ cleanup?
The Demon God ended up losing his temper.
It is fine if others are affected because of him.
But the reverse is unacceptable.
Irritation was surging, but.
– Answer one more thing.
– Yes, yes.
– Why do they not simply come and ask me to let them live here? Since there are
many planets, I can let them live. Are the giants not living well right now?
After losing to the Demon God, the giant race had been working diligently at
various construction sites.
Thinking back, wouldn’t it have been fine if they had done so from the start?
– It’s because of their temper, you see. The giants have their pride, and those
guys over there are dragons in name, after all.
– Kuaaaah! For such a ridiculous reason!
And in this place, there was the Demon God, who would not lose to anyone when it
came to temper.
As irritation was poured onto his temper, his demonic Aura ran wild
uncontrollably.
A black dragon, seemingly the representative of the dragon horde, flew over.
– Demon God, shall we not have a conversation?
– First, receive a beating!
– What? Kuaaak!!!!
At the Demon God’s single blow, the black dragon’s head violently whipped to the
side.
The collision of two powerful existences.
Behind them, the crab muttered.
– He said he wanted to converse, not fight, so why….
They should have requested a conversation before entering.
And it couldn’t be helped.
For the Demon God’s way of conversing was dependent upon his mood.
And, leaving the old memory, in the counseling room where the Demon God
currently is—
“First, receive a beating!”
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed out.
The Demon God had slapped the counselor’s cheek without hesitation!
“Argh!”
“I came knowing that thou art the culprit. Why should I endure?”
The Demon God even threw off his mask.
“Y-You? You’re not Zion?”
Clutching his stinging face, the counselor looked up at the Demon God.
A male counselor who looked to be in his late 30s on the outside.
His neat face was now dyed with shock and terror.
“Indeed. I am not Zion. Now, so who might I be?”
“What? How on earth would I know that?”
“My! Even though I have built up recognition!”
As expected, he still couldn’t compete with a top-tier idol.
The Demon God decided to play a trick on Zion.
Damen, that was a future matter to deal with with Zion.
This guy was first.
“To base yourself in this place frequented by many artists! And while occupying
the body of a human counselor, thou dost not know Pantheon? That is negligence
of duty!”
“Thou evil spirit!”
The evil spirit ‘Counselor’ widened its eyes at those words.
It had dug traps for humans and dominated them one by one.
As word of mouth spread among artists, the time had come to expand its control.
Yet, its true identity was exposed by the idol right in front of its eyes.
“Are you really an idol?”
The human counselor’s voice disappeared with this as the end.
– Are you really an idol?
The distorted and scratchy voice of the evil spirit counselor flowed out.
“Unintentionally, yes.”
Huffing, the Demon God opened his demonic Aura.
The intense and ominous energy completely filled the counseling room,
constricting the counselor.
– Hieeek! You’re not an idol!
“I told you I am! I thought anyone would recognize me after doing this much!”
Surprisingly, idols are only well-recognized by people who are interested in
idols.
People who aren’t interested just pass by without knowing.
Even if the visuals catch their eye, they only think they might be a celebrity.
“Just how much harder must I promote. It is truly a harsh punishment….”
The Demon God lamented and raised his right hand.
– ?
The counselor looked up, wondering if some Authority was about to manifest from
that hand.
The hand flew down.
Mercilessly.
Slap!
It was the second slap.
– Argh!
“Evil spirit, what art thou doing? If thou hast an Authority, manifest it
quickly!”
Even to survive, it had to do so.
The counselor did not delay and activated its Authority.
First of all, the space transformed into the counselor’s Domain.
The counseling room walls bulged out and patterns arose on top of them.
Double quotes, single quotes, and speech bubbles.
‘An evil spirit that deals with the power of words.’
It was exactly as he guessed upon hearing the profession the evil spirit had
chosen.
– Hieee, I was a bit flustered, but. Lofty existence, are you not under
restrictions?
The counselor was also a high-tier evil spirit.
It saw through the existence of the restriction.
– If so, there is no reason for me to be pushed back.
It was quickly regaining its composure.
The counseling room was its Domain.
The Authority to be activated here was also prepared.
– Lofty existence. You shall regret giving me breathing room.
“Breathing room?”
Although he had thrown a tantrum rather than given it room.
The Demon God smiled, pretending he had indeed given it room.
“Hmph, try to entertain me.”
With that, the counselor’s ‘counseling’ began.
The walls bulged out and sank back in as if they were alive.
Each time they did, the symbols that were patterns fell off and floated in the
air.
The counselor drew in a breath and spat out the first words.
– Hello.
An extremely simple greeting.
At a glance, it sounded like nothing.
Those words were written exactly between the double quotes floating in front of
the counselor.
[“Hello.”]
Simultaneously, words the counselor did not say appeared in the single quotes.
[‘Weakling.’]
Gentle words and cold inner thoughts.
Fake and real.
The two quotes each found a speech bubble and slowly flew toward the Demon God.
The Demon God waved his hand, but because they had no physical substance, they
weren’t pushed aside.
They clung to the Demon God, just as they had clung to the wall as patterns
earlier.
‘A troublesome Authority that cannot be easily swept away.’
Briefly after.
The counselor’s words continued.
[“What brought you here?”]
[‘Why are you struggling over such a trivial matter.’]
[“Do not hesitate to speak.”]
[‘Though it will be of no use anyway.’]
[“I shall help you.”]
[‘Actually, I do not care.’]
Speech bubbles flew over and stuck messily.
The Authority [Double Message] gradually enveloped the Demon God.
Languages that pretended to care on the outside while despising on the inside.
When one grows weary of these languages, it makes them approach further and
depend on them.
After other speech bubbles flew in for quite a while, the counselor finally cast
the deciding blow.
[“You will be able to recover your energy.”]
[‘Everyone wishes to let go of their own will.’]
[“Are you not tired too?”]
[‘Be dominated by me.’]
– Whew….
The counselor let out a long sigh.
– I was a bit surprised at first, but the result is the same.
Up to the last speech bubble, they clung perfectly.
No matter how lofty the status, no matter how strong the power, once it proceeds
to this point, they can be dominated.
– To think I can dominate such an existence. I can discard all the others.
The counselor opened a desk drawer and took out a notebook, quite rare in
today’s world.
In that notebook, he wrote “Pantheon Lee Sun-woo” with a pen.
Beside it, he wrote “Complete.”
But at this moment.
“Didst thou do this to Lua as well?”
The Demon God’s stern voice echoed within the Domain.
– ?!
The counselor looked at the Demon God in surprise.
– How? Once my Authority is complete, you cannot resist it with status or power?
Just then, their eyes met through the speech bubbles stuck to the Demon God—
Eyes full of irritation, pettiness, anger, and so forth were glaring at the
counselor.
– N-No way?
“Probably, ‘no way’ is correct. It was useless against me from the start.”
It wasn’t status.
Nor was it power.
Temper.
He had destroyed the Authority with his lofty and powerful temper….
An existence whose will is strong and so self-centered that he does not even
listen to others’ words out of the corner of his ear.
That was exactly the Demon God.
– Impossible!
“Is that all?”
To dare think of dominating a demonic nature.
The power contained in the counselor’s words could not bind the Demon God’s Aura
at all.
The arrogant, ominous, and terrifying Aura ran completely wild.
“Even if thou art not finished, stop!”
The Demon God raised his hand again.
At the motion as if to slap his cheek, the counselor subconsciously covered both
cheeks.
However, the Demon God’s hand merely pointed forward, spewing out Aura.
This alone was enough.
A scream flowed out from the counselor, and the hazy energy possessing him was
torn away.
– Ugh, ugh, uaaah!
“It is not over yet.”
The Demon God held the counselor evil spirit and inflicted pain with his Aura.
The weakened fellow could not endure and screamed.
“Is it not strange? Even if we assume Lua met an evil spirit by chance, Izm also
by chance seizes that opportunity to aim for contract renewal?”
Even if coincidental, it is far too coincidental.
“Is there one who sent thee here?”
The counselor, already overwhelmed with terror and pain, cried out.
– Geeeh! I, I do not know. Merely, a person with a star-shaped tattoo on their
hand came to find me…
“A star tattoo.”
The evil spirit that went wild at SBC was also strengthened by the person with
the star tattoo.
– He only told me to dominate stars here, and that he would come to find me when
the time was right…. Gyaah! Please, dissipation! Stop the pain!
It seemed he knew nothing more.
The Demon God did not linger and applied the final strength to his grip.
– Ah.
The Domain’s walls returned to the original white walls.
The speech bubbles that had stuck messily were also dismantled and disappeared.
“To attempt words that obscure sincerity against me, who directly feels the
devotion of fans. Thou wert truly an unlucky fellow.”
The Demon God can feel sincerity through the chains.
Because of that experience, his resistance against the counselor’s Authority was
even stronger.
The complex and effective Authority the counselor created by pouring in all his
spiritual energy was completely useless against the Demon God.
– …….
The words disappeared.
The evil spirit was exorcised.
The Demon God deeply inhaled the spilled spiritual energy.
A satisfying cracking sound came from the chains behind his back.
At that moment.
Flicker.
The fluorescent light flickered briefly.
It was the normal counseling room of the healing center.
Except for the counselor sleeping deeply in his chair, there was no change.
If there was any difference from before beginning the fight, it was a single
notebook on the desk.
The Demon God opened the notebook.
