560. The Complete Existence. High God ⑶ [It's good... but I can't be entirely happy.]
“Why do you say that?”
[Nothing much.]
The Demon God gave a wry smile.
[It’s just that a simple plan has gotten twisted.]
She raised her finger, pointing at Taesan.
[Remember, don’t you? The little child I once saved.]
“I remember.”
Bequette’s lamb, Anesha. The child of the demon race that Taesan had rescued. She knew the child had feelings for him.
[I intended to use her to establish you in the demon world.]
“... Is that so?”
That surprised him a little. The Demon God had hinted at something similar before, but he never thought she’d considered it that deeply.
[In the end, the one who holds onto the strong is emotions. Well... that story was when you were still stuck in the mortal or immortal realm. Now you’ve gone too far beyond.]
Taesan was no longer someone who could be tied down by a mere mortal existence.
[Hoo.]
The Demon God let out a short sigh, then stood up.
“Have you fully recovered?”
[Partially. Fully would be impossible. It would take too long. And besides, we don’t have much time to waste.]
The corruption that was devouring the universe was growing steadily.
[We need to finish it before it becomes uncontrollable. But… there’s still time for a light test.]
The Demon God turned around and looked at Taesan with a smile.
