Chapter 469: Episode 89 – Great Apocalypse (3)
It had become dark outside the windows. I wondered if the sun had set already, but when I took a closer look, I realised that insects were sticking to the glasses. Locusts were glaring at me while scurrying around, their antennae swaying threateningly about.
I glanced at the plague of locusts and spoke up. [Compared to how long you had to endure, your waiting this time wouldn't have been all that much. So stop exaggerating.]
[You….. what do you know…. about waiting?]
The creature's words kept being cut off. Its true voice sounded like an echo spreading out from beneath the emptiness that I couldn't even fathom. The surrounding air was bubbling with pitch-black Status. I adjusted my own aura and continued to speak.
[I know that you are the 'forgotten evil', at least.]
It was here that the brows above Yi Gil-Yeong's white eyes quivered just a little. It felt as if bitterly cold air suddenly was blanketing us. I endured it and spoke again.
[The 'evil' that all the other stars have forgotten after too much time has passed by. The 'evil' that was even ostracised by other 'evil', and was sealed away within the Demon World's deepest underground.]
Quite often, it was told that the deepest part of Hell was the dwelling of the 'Apocalypse Dragon'. The reason why the 'Great War of Saints and Demons' was so famous was because of the
The truth was, though, the Apocalypse Dragon wasn't the only calamity found in the early days of the 'Great War of Saints and Demons'.
The calamity of the stars that swept across the worlds with yellow-coloured storm clouds of insects – amongst all the names that had disappeared, there definitely existed a calamity with this title.
[Oh, the King of Locusts, the 'Ruler of the Deepest Pit'.]
My words prompted a vicious storm to whip about in the air as a new message revealed itself.
[Character 'Yi Gil-Yeong's' Sponsor has revealed its Modifier.]
[Constellation, 'Ruler of the Deepest Pit', is now looking at you.]
The Ruler of the Deepest Pit, Abaddon.
Just like the other 'main characters' of the Great War of Saints and Demons, it too was an existence on the level of 'Myth-grade'.
However, the masters of the 'Wall Dividing Good and Evil' didn't acknowledge it as 'evil' for the sake of their own battles, and to make matters worse, didn't even let it enter the ranks of the '72 Demon Kings' of the Demon World.
And so, this being was more like an 'Outer God' now. Even though it was the 'Great Evil' that dyed the galaxy with locust plague once upon a time, this being had to spend tens of thousands of years locked away within the prison of forgotten memories.
This being was even betrayed by its own kins, the demons, while believing in the empty promise of others waking it up during the age of calamities.
⸢That was, until one human used 'grasshoppers' as the method to clear the scenario one day.⸥
[Fable, 'Grasshopper Catcher' has begun its storytelling!]
Yi Gil-Yeong's Fable that sprouted from our scenario had managed to awaken the ancient demon from its slumber.
[State your reason…. for summoning me, oh the arrogant…. Constellation.]
I could easily sense this demon's hidden pain from its voice filled with boundless hatred. It was ignored by its enemy, the 'Good', while it was betrayed by its supposed ally, the 'Evil'.
[What do you think? I called you here to make you stop exploiting a little kid after you forced him into signing a contract with you.]
[If you want to sign a contract with someone, then do it with me, instead. Wouldn't that be fairer?]
[I only… forgive… your insolence… because… you… wrecked the… Great War of Saints and Demons….]
Yi Gil-Yeong's lips twisted ever so slightly to form a grin. This guy, it possessed the qualification of Great Evil, yet it decided not to participate in the 'Great War of Saints and Demons' right till its conclusion. Hell, it even acted as if it didn't exist in the first place.
I kind of understood why, though. That particular Great Fable was no longer a festival meant for this creature.
[The Apocalypse Dragon and Eden…. the Demon World… Watching them being destroyed was…. gratifying.]
[Is that so? But, is it over with only that?]
[Over…..?]
[Abaddon. You're still 'Evil'.]
My words caused Yi Gil-Yeong's brows to quiver. [The Great War… of Saints and Demons…. is already… over….]
[Yeah, it has ended. But, it'll start again in the future. And the scenario where you're the calamity might get created during then. Where everyone remembers your Modifier, where everyone trembles from fear in front of your name.]
[Why…. are you… saying such things?]
Abaddon smiled as if it heard rather sweet-sounding remarks.
I went straight to the topic. [Let me not beat around the bush. You've saved up enough of your strength. Now, lend us your aid.]
[And… why… should I?]
[Because even you would be annihilated if you don't. You already know very well that other Constellations will never give you the time of day after we're all gone.]
[…I am… the ancient… Evil….]
[The Constellations on the side of 'Absolute Evil' will never acknowledge you as the 'Most Ancient Evil'. No one will stand on your side. And I guess you must've forgotten it, but there is that monster, 'Baal', waiting in the 'Final Scenario', too.]
Beyond the waves splitting up, we could hear the voice of a certain girl who had witnessed the 999th turn's 'Conclusion'.
[[Load the cannons.]]
