Episode 409. Aspect of the Overlord (4)
His words were harsh, but there was a hint of sadness in his voice.
The sadness was toward the past history that had gone through the wind and gone.
Respect and regret for the great previous generation, who could not adapt to the word new and reality, but who could not be judged as having lived a wrong life, were buried.
“You must have already had several conversations with the headmaster, but I also want to ask you a question.”
“Did you really have to do this?”
“That’s right.”
Guangmazon opened his closed eyes and looked up at Xiliang.
“Sir.”
He was calling Xiliang a religious master. But no one here could smile.
Mad Zone bowed.
“It’s not like we can talk to each other in front of the headmaster.
But, hopefully, with your permission, I will be able to tell you truthfully why this disloyal old man sinned.”
A different attitude than before.
It was different enough to feel the difference, but Xu Liang realized it.
That right now, this is the true face of the Mad Zone. It was clear that his heart, wrapped in a flirtatious and senile appearance, was directed only towards the religious leader.
Seo Liang nodded.
“I allow it.”
“Thank you for the mercy of the Holy Ghost.”
Mad Zone corrected his posture.
Ho Yo-seong asked as if he had been waiting.
“Now tell me. Why did you do this?”
“General commander, what you are curious about is probably not the reason.”
“…..”
“As I said in front of the Demon Shrine, you are a genius worthy of praise.
An astute person like you wouldn’t know why I did this.
But what you want to know is my choice to give up my life in the end even though there was another way.”
“I will not deny it. But sometimes I think. You can grope the truth with your smart brain, but you can’t feel the heart.”
“…..”
“Please let me know.”
“You really are a nasty person.”
Madonna smiled bitterly. His smile resembled fallen leaves on an autumn day.
“Do you know what was the first feeling I felt when I heard the news that the previous headteacher had passed away?”
“Isn’t it sad?”
“Wrong. I was angry.”
I was angry.
He was angry with his lord and God who served him all his life. It’s a disloyal remark, but he was a man, not a god. Of course I could feel that feeling.
“As you know, the previous leader is one of the greatest in the history of Protestantism.”
“I know.”
“It is not simply because of his power or political power.
He is the one who took care of the past, where it would not be strange if it collapsed right away, and led it to the best heyday in history.
He was like a ray of light to us who were tired of the tyranny of the previous leaders and leaders.”
Gwangmazon’s voice contained an unknown nostalgia.
“Say, I felt infinitely honored just to exist as a part of the age of His reign.
It would be such an honor to go out with him and unleash the magical powers he had learned and accumulated over the years.
Even without that, I could live each day with full joy.”
“……”
“He was such a person.
He was the one who made the heart of a demon thump again when he was young, who tried to break and fix Shingo, but failed and was imprisoned.
He is a true god who has pioneered a future that would not be strange even if we dismiss it as a dream in just a few years.”
Even though it is not a passionate voice, it evokes a thrill in the listener.
And those who were here could feel it again. The empty seat of existence called the two heavenly world. What a great demon and great leader he was.
“It is said that such a person passed away in the land of the Central Plains, in the cold northern part of the country.
As I said, when I realized that fact, I felt more anger than ever before. That anger could be called a sense of betrayal.”
“Are you saying you felt betrayed by the former headmaster?”
“I know. That the former headmaster was not beaten by the midfielders.”
There was a deep conviction in the light demon’s voice.
“What kind of master could dare to harm him? Even if the entire world attacked him, he wouldn’t be able to touch even a hair on him.”
He pointed his finger at the ceiling.
The place he pointed to was the ceiling, but it must mean the sky.
“He is the one who refused even the mandate of heaven.
In other words, he is the one who can decide for himself where he will go down to heaven.
He was expelled from the church not to save the religious leader, but to find the place where he would die.”
No one will be able to know the true intentions of this heavenly statue. At least, only Seo Liang, who was connected through the Gate of Desire, could read a little of Lee Cheon-sang’s thoughts.
So Liang was surprised. This old loyal subject knew about him as well as himself, having looked into the heart of Lee Cheon-sang through the desire gate.
“I thought about it. Why didn’t he take me and us?
If he was going to go back like that, he would have been able to run amok with us, so I wondered why he had gone alone.”
Mudam deeply sympathized with Gwangmazon’s words. He is probably the only person who can understand the madman’s feelings.

“And I realized. How much he believes in your successor. At the same time, I realized another thing.
What did he want from the elders, starting with me?”
“What did you want?”
“manure.”
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes deepened.
Madonna smiled.
“The headmaster said in Daejeon. He regretted that he had nothing more to give, and even gave up his own life.”
“……”
“The Master’s words are indeed true.
From the time he became the religious leader until the moment he passed away, he lived only for the Protestant Church and his successors. In other words, it was only a life for the future.”
The smiling madman sighed.
“He has become manure, so how can we live by pounding our stomachs?
We dare not do what He has not done. Now, there is only one thing we can do.”
“Is it going to be fertilizer?”
“Yes. It’s unpleasant and dirty, so no one wants to touch it, but ten years from now, a hundred years from now, the church will grow into a bigger tree than it is today.
It should become thick manure.”
“So you were rude to the headmaster.”
“Yes.”
It was an act that was not easy to understand at first glance.
However, the people gathered here realized what Gwangmazon had planned and what kind of end he was about to meet.
He was about to become a traitor to Protestantism.
Taking advantage of the absence of the leader, he tried to die as a traitor who weakened his power and divided the leaders.
The reason is simple. Other organizations are similar, but there is only one way to unite religious forces, especially Protestants.
enemy.
The most powerful and certain way to move people with different thoughts and personalities with the same emotions is to make enemies that no one can tolerate.
A common enemy strengthens the bonds of allies.
The stronger the power of the enemy and the more evil the enemy, the more closely the organization will come together.
The joy and loyalty you will get after defeating that enemy is as large and deep as you can imagine.
And since the one who leads it will be the religious leader, the faith and loyalty of the naturalists will inevitably grow.
“Perhaps I was unconsciously distrusting the leader’s ability. So I thought I could fulfill my role more easily than I thought.”
Guangmazon looked up at Xiliang.
The eyes of another god looking down at him, covered in blood, were blazing with blue lightning and red flames.
Mad Zone felt that his eyes were dazzling.
The appearance of the teacher did not really look like the devil of Inse.
If the previous leader was an absolutely invincible demon who suppressed even the heavens, this person was a passionate ruler who was ready to hold the world at any time.
It was the majesty of another god. There was a great Heavenly Demon who would lead Shinkyo to the light in the future, possibly with the possibility of ascending to a higher place than the previous leader.
“I still don’t think I was wrong. I think I’ve found a good place to die.
It is regrettable that we cannot live with the one and only Heavenly Demon recognized by him in the new era, but it is as much regret as an old tree that has already died.
There is nothing ugly about it.”
“……”
“My reputation and body must be reproached and defiled. It deserves to be brutally crushed in front of all the members of the church.”
“……”
“Let the whole world know what this wicked and heinous old man has done,
If the religious leader tears such a sinner to shreds and announces that there is only one faith, the uneasy members will undoubtedly…”
It was then.
“I will live each day trembling with fear.”
Everyone looked at Seo Liang. Gwangmazone was no exception.
Seo Liang shook his head.
“You don’t have to listen anymore. Your plan failed anyway.
In order for you to truly die as a disgrace to the cultists, you will have to commit a much more vicious act than you are now, but as far as I know, you can’t die with manure.”
“…that’s how it turned out.”
Madonna laughed dejectedly.
“Heh heh, this old man is like that. He wants to die, but he’s an idiot who can’t even die properly.”
Ho Yo-seong felt his heart ache.
– I know one more thing. How troublesome it can be when powerful idiots can’t distinguish between a cause and their desires and go on a rampage.
As if he had ridiculed him, Mad Zone was calling himself an idiot.
Even if the method was wrong, the word idiot does not suit the tiger who came to die on its own.
Ho Yo-seong regretted what he had said and felt sorry for Mad Zone’s self-deprecation.
Mad Zone looked at Ho Yo-seong.
“Do you remember what I said?”
“……I remember.”
“Yeah, that’s it. Please behave wisely.”
Ho Yo-seong sighed.
He smiled and recalled what the madman had said to him.
– You don’t know about me. Why am I walking around beating my bent waist?
– The time will come when the Protestant Church will know my will in the future. At that time, you will have to make a wise choice.
A wise choice was no different.
It meant that no matter what the method was, never hesitate even if you realized your loyalty.
It meant making him a criminal who would never exist again in the world, and burying himself with the uneasiness of the disciples.
How many bloody tears must he have shed before he said that?
For an old master who was loyal to the religious leader and loved the Protestant religion, it would have been more excruciating pain than having raw flesh torn off.
Ho Yo-seong dared not help but fulfill what Gwangmazon wanted.
“Sir.”
“……”
“It may sound sudden, but… Anyway, since quite a lot of people know about the crimes committed by the head of the Senate, we can’t go on like this.”
“okay?”
“That’s right. So, as he said…”
“I really want to hit you on the head with a drum stick for excitement.”
“Yes, yes… yes?”
Everyone looked at Xu Liang in amazement.
She said with a tired expression.
“Either the person called the head of the Senate or the person called the General Commander, they’re already busy and dying, but they’re getting sick in pairs.”
