Jung Heewon was surprised.
…Struggling? Anyone could see that Reinheit was evil. He deceived countless and produced monsters in this underground area. How could he not be evil?
[The constellations of the absolute good system entrust the judgment to incarnation 'Jung Heewon'.]
Reinheit opened his mouth. “If you kill me, Paradise will end.”
Jung Heewon's hell flames decreased at these words. There was a faint smile on Reinheit's face.
“Jung Heewon-ssi, I didn't expect you to be here.”
“What…”
“You should've known. Paradise isn't perfect. It is natural for a beautiful place to have a shadow.”
Jung Heewon didn't respond. Ignorance was a deception. Of course, she had thought about it. This place must be hiding some awful truth. She just didn't think it would be this…
“Why are you mass producing monsters? Are you going to conquer Dark Castle?”
“I'm not doing anything. They are just the nutrients of Paradise.”
A huge tree trunk could be seen in the centre of the cavern. Branches stretched out like tentacles towards the monsters in the vicinity.
Jung Heewon realized where the tree trunk was heading. The small flower that bloomed on the hill, the Perpetual Motion.
Jung Heewon's legs were shaking without her knowing. Surely this tree…
“Isn't it strange? Weren't you curious about why the many demon species on Dark Castle don't invade this place?”
She thought it was strange. It wasn't enough to describe Paradise as a blessed fortress.
“Why are there so many demons in Dark Castle?”
Rapidly moving branches grabbed the humans one by one. The prisoners screamed but there was no room for resistance. The rapidly moving branches tied around the prisoners' bodies and three them into a hole in the trunk.
A terrible noise was heard and then there was a scream like a soul was being castrated.
After a while, buds blossomed on the tree trunk. Jung Heewon sensed what would be born from the bud and shook. In less than a few minutes, a giant monsters was born from the bud. It was the human who had just been swallowed by the tree.
The Perpetual Motion was a tree that made demons.
Jung Heewon kept trembling. “H-How can you do this?”
Why couldn't she find any demon species near Paradise? Paradoxically, it was because Paradise itself was the source of the demon species.
“The demons produced here are released every month on certain days. There is a limit to the capacity of the prison.” Reinheit smiled as he spoke. “Don't look at me with those eyes. Being a demon isn't necessarily a bad thing.”
“They can have eternal life and are stronger than humans. In addition…”
The tree emitted a bright light and started to supply nutrients to the earth of Paradise.
“Their sin is used to sustain the lives of other beings. In other words, they are martyrs.”
It was the source that provided vitality for crops to grow on the barren land of Dark Castle. This was the role of the Perpetual Motion. Jung Heewon understood everything and felt desperate.
