This was a part of an ancient memory.
– Scribe, for how long am I supposed to repeat this war? A war that doesn't have any victors….
The times when he threw that question out, or how many times he asked it – he couldn't recall them.
– Michael, there's no need to ponder too deeply about this.
The Metatron of his memories would always return the exact same smile. For several hundreds of years, or maybe even for thousands of years.
Metatron continued to carry that grin from the far side of time that Michael couldn't even remember anymore.
– Please, focus on hating the 'Evil' in front of your eyes, instead. That is your 'scenario'.
'….My scenario.
Just how long have I been hunting down the demons?'
Michael, for a long time now, could no longer remember his birth.
[The power of 'Fruit of Good and Evil' is going berserk.]
His memories were always incorrect, incomplete. All he could remember were the final words of the Demon Kings dying at his hands.
– How lamentable, oh, the pitiful disciple of
That was from the master of the 21st Demon World.
– Uwahahahahat!! You are now the same as us! Finally, Metatron has gone mad!!
And that was from the master of the 9th Demon World.
– Which 'number' Michael are you?
And finally, from the lips of the master of the 4th Demon World.
Past the faces of the Demon Kings with names he'd forgotten, he could see the dead Archangels, his comrades, that fought alongside him.
– Michael, you must regain yourself. Please…. This, this is wrong.
An Angel and a Demon, that's what he was.
Faces breaking down like debris scattered away in tens of thousands of puzzle pieces, before gathering back together to create one giant form.
'Good' and 'Evil', in conflict against each other for eternity itself. And Metatron's face, the one who had managed to endure all those years, continued to carry the exact same smile for thousands of years.
– You need to be careful about one thing. When using this power, you must never….
[The power of 'Fruit of Good and Evil' is going berserk!]
All of his memories were swept away in one go; Michael was enveloped in horrifying pain akin to his head being ripped to tiny shreds.
Aaaaaaaaah-!!!!
All 'Good' in the world cried out in sorrow. From the blades of grass to trees; from small insects to every type of 'Good' living in Creation fell into a state of sorrow and cried out in grief.
[You have directed a fatal attack at an opponent on the side of Absolute Good!]
[Fable, 'Evil that destroys Evil', is roaring out in bitter sadness!]
[You have broken the taboo!]
[You have been handed a terrible penalty!]
A grey-coloured angel covered in blood was smiling at Michael.
The moment I bit into the [Fruit of Good and Evil], the view of the world changed.
[You have consumed a forbidden 'Star Relic Fruit'.]
[You are currently a 'Demon King'.]
[The power of 'Fruit of Good and Evil' has whispered the secret of the 'Absolute Good' to you.]
As the ginormous storm of magical energy raged around me, my ears were inundated by the continuous stream of messages.
[You have experienced all facets of 'Good and Evil'!]
[You have achieved an impossible accomplishment!]
[You have acquired the Possibility of a brand new Fable!]
[
[
“Twelve hours from now, you will die at the hands of the 'Conquering King', Yu Joong-Hyeok.”
