Episode 440 – Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’ Re (5)
– Kim Ari
After agreeing to meet with the prophet, the leaders of the sect took the gathered laity out of the paradise.
As always, the air outside Paradise was different from the damned city.
Normally, the sectarians would enjoy the beautiful outside world with their innocence restored, and criticize the Kadyrov family for trapping everyone in a hellish city.
Today was different.
Because everyone was looking at one young man instead of Mother Nature or the Kadyrov family.
The prophet, Han Ga-in, was walking along the round lawn with the miners he had brought from the mine.
The miners were in a daze, as if they had never seen the outside of a city before, and as we approached, they seemed to sense their guard and gathered around us.
Each and every one of those guards-like or follower-like actions revealed what kind of person Han Ga-in was among them.
While the church was looking after Cain, Cain was also looking after the church.
He first made eye contact with me at the front, then looked around at the laypeople at the back.
They are probably looking for Kim Sang-hyun, a second-class citizen and secret agent hiding among them.
Soon, Sang-Hyeon lightly tapped the floor with his foot as if to say, “I’m here.”
It was Raymond who broke the silence.
“I heard from Apostle Ari. He said he received a revelation?”
“Yes.”
“Could you tell me what it is?”
“Of course.”
Soon, Gain vividly described the overwhelming form of the Demon King she had seen in her dream.
A magical power that can drive an entire city into madness in one breath.
A giant hand that crushes paradise in an instant.
Added to this was the description that it was a seething whirlpool of endless impulses, more like a cosmic disaster than a living thing.
The laypeople behind them who were listening to Gain’s explanation reacted with puzzlement.
This is because Cain’s description of the Demon King was very different from the image that religious groups conjure up when they think of a divine being.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the religious order began to waver with their eyes wide open.
Because it matched the records of the Demon King that the religious order had passed down.
Of course.
That description is not something that Ga-in made up from her imagination, but rather a ‘memory’ that she felt after directly confronting the Demon King.
Of course, there were skeptics.
“Hey, young man! Where did you happen to get the records of the church?”
Soon, a calm answer came back.
“Do you walk around leaving sacred writings depicting God on the roadside?”
“Ha! That’s not true, but the history of the church may have leaked out the Guinea records or scriptures!”
“Hmm… .”
Instead of arguing with the skeptical person, Gain calmly took a step back –
“Huh!”
“Ugh! What, what is it?”
Teleported back about 5 meters.
The wing tattoo you get as a reward from the first floor gateway room is really useful in times like this.
There’s a saying that seeing is believing, right?
It’s better to show one teleportation than to say “I’m a prophet” a hundred times.
This is why there are so many pseudo-religious leaders all over the world preparing strange shows.
Raymond exclaimed in amazement as clear evidence of a ‘miracle’ appeared.
“I admit it. There seems to be something extraordinary about you.”
“It’s not something extraordinary. Didn’t the Demon King show me a vision?”
“Well? There are other people in the church with special powers besides you.”
With that, Raymond clapped his hands lightly and howled.
— Gooooooo!
From Raymond’s mouth came a strange sound that no human vocal cord could ever produce.
Then, the ordinary believers fell to the floor one after another without being able to keep their balance, and leaves fell from the trees all around.
I knew this old lady had supernatural powers, but I didn’t know it was this type of power.
What is the source of strength?
Gain smiled bitterly.
“Your voice is very loud.”
“The Demon King once granted me a tiny bit of power. It was just a small talent.”
“…”
“Just because someone has special powers doesn’t mean he’s a prophet.”
“…”
“Of course, I recognize that you have something special about you. Would you like to join the church? I promise to treat you well.”
Raymond, the church leaders have come up with a compromise.
I know you are a special person, Han Ga-in, but we all have superpowers too.
So, instead of trying to stand above us by calling yourself the devil’s prophet, become one of us.
…
That’s a pointless story.
In the first place, I didn’t come here to share with these extras and small religious groups.
Of course, this level of resistance was expected.
If someone were suddenly asked to kneel before me, would they say yes?
Must be forced to kneel.
It also has a legacy for that.
“How arrogant they are….”
Soon, the divine sun appeared, radiating majesty that seemed to crush all things.
Even though it was still in a state of non-function, the supernatural charisma radiating from the divine sun was too much for ordinary humans to bear.
Soon, the laypeople in the hall began to fall over, losing their minds.
“Ah! O great hand… .”
Eventually, people even came out crying and screaming.
“Aaaaah! Oh my God! Crouching Savior!”
To an ordinary person, the charisma of the divine sun is so overwhelming.
…
A few weeks ago, Gain summoned the sacred sun in front of everyone.
What were we like back then?
I felt some pressure and was silent for a moment, but that was about it.
Seeing that reaction and the reactions of the ‘real ordinary people’ in front of me, my heart became a little complicated.
Should we be happy that everyone has grown up, or should we be wary that they are becoming more and more distant from humans?
Suddenly, I discovered Sang-Hyeon, who was also making a subtle expression.
Everyone around me was rolling on the floor crying, but I was the only one standing there with a calm demeanor, so it was obvious.
A fleeting moment of eye contact.
We found that we had similar thoughts in mind.
That’s that, and I don’t know, but it would be a problem if someone disguised as a civilian were that normal.
As I made a motion to slightly bend my back, Sang-Hyeon soon realized the situation and fell to the floor.
Emotion, shock, fear, passion, and madness.
In the room where a storm of passionate emotions rages, even the leaders of the church, including Raymond, look at Gain with saliva dripping from their mouths.
Many elders, like the laity, cried out, “Prophet!”
“Whew… Is that okay?”
At this point, we can say that the Demon King’s cult is in our hands –
“no!”
uh?
“Hey, you swindlers! Everyone, wake up! Open your eyes right now!”
Raymond started spewing out fits of hostility!
“Everyone wake up! That guy is fake!”
As if they had been waiting, the other elders nearby also responded and shouted.
what’s this?
What, things suddenly went wrong?
— Gooooo!
Raymond let out his usual roar several times stronger than before.
In an instant, a shock as if someone had struck their entire body with a club was delivered, and those who had been entranced by the sacred sun began to slowly come to their senses.
“Hey you! You evil bastard! Kill him right now!”
Didn’t you try to win Ga-in over just a little while ago by offering her a seat?
Suddenly, he changed his attitude 180 degrees and started yelling at me to kill him!
The laypeople were at a loss as to what to do, and Sang-Hyeon and I also had expressions on our faces as if we were wondering what on earth was going on.
And the man at the center of all the chaos, Gain, suddenly knelt down and –
“Father… please forgive them.”
Out of nowhere, I started crying and praying!
Isn’t this guy a freshman at K University or some acting school?
Why are you crying so much when you didn’t even shove a slice of onion in your eye?
This show wasn’t planned!
“Father, please forgive them, for they do not know what they are saying.”
When did Han Ga-in memorize this human Bible sentence?
I’m confused!
Suddenly things took a strange turn and the plan was disrupted, and the elders and even Cain started doing strange things, which made my head hurt even more.
“You idiot! Do you think I don’t know that you are an apostle of the heretic god? Do you know where this place is -”
Apostle of the heretic god?
At that moment, Han Ga-in stood up with a gloomy expression.
“Alas… The crouching Savior has revealed himself. There are so many who have committed unforgiveable sins.”
The moment everyone’s eyes were focused on Han Ga-in, a pitch-black book appeared in the air.
“So I became a living whip. I am his claws and his fists!”
It was only at this moment that I vaguely understood the situation.
I also came to understand what Han Ga-in was trying to do.
Gain is trying to kill all the ‘real’ people in this place!
As the magical power of the unborn took over the surroundings in an instant, a scene straight out of a horror movie came to life.
First of all, Raymond, who had been screaming loudly, suddenly started strangling himself with his own hands.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
Next it was the turn of the elders who had secretly taken Raymond’s side.
Some of them possessed strange supernatural powers, but they were not strong enough to resist the control of the ‘Power of the Avatar’.
“Ugh! Eek!”
The leaders of the Demon King’s cult were suffocated and lost consciousness one after another.
They strangled themselves until they died, even while they were unconscious.
one.
Another one.
This time, two.
Here are three.
Soon dozens of corpses fell one after another to the floor.
The laypeople who had been thrilled by the appearance of the prophet just moments before were now overwhelmed by indescribable fear and prayed for their lives.
Just then, someone grabbed my collar.
It’s Sang-Hyeon.
“What the heck is going on?”
“…”
“Did you plan this with Gain in advance?”
“no.”
Originally, I had no intention of purging the religious leaders like this.
I thought they would be a pretty useful human resource, since a lot of them have superpowers.
“This… This… What the heck all of a sudden!”
Wide-open eyes, sweaty top.
Kim Sang-hyun couldn’t hide his extreme nervousness.
Clearly, Han Ga-in is our colleague.
He is a man who has never threatened us.
Even so… .
The scene from just a moment ago flashed through my mind.
With a single movement of the hand, hundreds of people lose their minds, roll on the floor, and eventually pray in tears.
Once you open the book, dozens of people commit suicide by strangling themselves with their own hands.
Can we call this being a ‘pseudo-religious’ leader?
“Sang-Hyeon, calm down.”
“… The power of the incarnation seems to have become much stronger than before.”
“That’s right. I don’t think it was possible to control multiple people at the same time like this before.”
“So I was a little… just a little surprised.”
“…”
“Ga, Ga-in was on my side even though he suffered for hundreds of years in room 203.”
Then, someone grabbed my foot.
“Ah, Ari Sado! Please… Please save me!”
“Lloyd.”
How did you survive?
Oh, it looks like Gain has used up all of her power as an incarnation.
“He, he is a monster! Don’t you know? He is not a prophet! He is a monster!”
Just as Raymond had done earlier, there was conviction in Lloyd’s eyes as he cried out in despair.
Han Ga-in had an unwavering belief that he was ‘not’ the Messiah the church had been waiting for.
“How did you know?”
“Huh? Oh, Ari Sado?”
“How did you know that Ga-in was fake? Did the Demon King tell you?”
Lloyd looks at me with a blank expression.
I reached out and grabbed his neck.
“I’ll admit it. You guys were ‘real.’”
“Ugh!”
“So, as soon as Gain took out the sacred sun, she knew it was fake.”
“Ugh!”
“Thank you. This part was our mistake. We won’t make the same mistake next time.”
— Kwajik!
The ‘last’ Demon King’s priest is dead.
Now, all that’s left here are stupid people who don’t even know who they serve.
Soon the voice of the false shepherd was heard.
“Rise up, all of you, and do not be afraid! A new dawn has come, new wine has been poured into new wineskins.”
With this, the church became ours.
