Episode 372
372. Episode 372
– That beast… … .
What Ruin did immediately after hearing Seun’s order was not to chew on the giant’s hide.
Although it was a simple order to swallow, Ruin, as a being born from Seun’s stigmata, perfectly understood Seun’s will.
– Krrrr… … .
The divinity flows out of the stigmata as quickly as water.
The more this happens, the more Ruin’s size grows surprisingly large.
In an instant, it surpassed the size of a house, but Ruin cried softly as if he was still not satisfied.
‘I don’t think it can go on like this.’
No matter how big Ruin grew, there was a limit.
Because the giant was so large, it didn’t seem like it would be edible simply by growing larger.
Moreover, Seun’s divinity could not make Ruin grow large enough to match that giant.
– That’s a great power. However, greed invites trouble. It will be of great help even now.
Janyoung also read Seun’s thoughts and shook her head to dissuade him.
“Can you come again next time?”
– That can’t be. Even I don’t have infinite power, so I only have one chance to reveal the great one.
“Then, we should finish it now.”
You only get one chance.
That concludes the answer.
Ruin, sensing Seun’s will, howled powerfully and began to transform into a new form.
Ss …
It abandons the form of a beast called a wolf and spreads out widely like fog.
The thick, crimson fog grew so large that it was incomparable to the wolf’s form.
When the divinity of Seun is revealed to the floor.
– This…….
The crimson fog filled the field of vision and rose above the altar, rivaling the size of a giant.
Even if the size catches up to some extent, that alone is meaningless.
A dark red fog began to form, forming the shape of a wolf’s mouth.
Kwajik!
A wolf’s mouth made of crimson fog.
The sharp fangs pierced the giant’s flank.
Se-Woon thought for a moment that this would work, but soon realized the problem with this method.
‘Weak.’
Because he focused on size to swallow the giant, Ruin’s bite power was extremely low.
In fact, it’s a given.
The absurd task of swallowing a constellation-level giant is impossible even if it is the same constellation.
There was no way that Seun’s feeble divinity could reproduce it.
“Swallow.”
Because of that, I changed my method.
Ruin, sensing Seun’s will, opened his mouth wide like a snake, gave up biting the giant, and swallowed him whole.
The red fog seemed ready to disperse at any moment due to its enormous size and overwhelming aura.
I wanted to swallow the giant whole somehow, but I couldn’t help but realize that it was impossible for now.
At that time, support came from a completely unexpected place.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, deeply sympathizes with the wolf’s enormous appetite.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, is frustrated by the sight of a wolf holding food in its mouth but not being able to swallow it.
– The constellation is fidgeting, thinking that if the ‘hungry prince’ spits out the food like this, it will be unfair to him.
– After much thought, the ‘Hungry Prince’ lends the ‘Fang of Gluttony’ to the wolf.
The teeth of the giant-bearing Ruin were dyed yellow, a symbol of Beelzebub’s divinity. Not the beautiful yellow of forsythia that we all know, but a dark yellow that looked dangerous.
With him.
Kwajik!
The giant’s skin, which had been hanging over Ruin’s teeth, was pierced for the first time.
The part where teeth developed was not simply the teeth part.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, expresses his frustration by telling him to swallow quickly.
Dozens and hundreds of molars appeared on the roof of Ruin’s mouth, just as they had appeared when Seun used his power of gluttony, and they tore at the giant’s skin.
Naturally, the aura of intimidation emanating from the giant diminished, and Ruin began to lick his lips.
– This can’t be… … . The great one… … Really… … .
The giant’s body in the crimson fog gradually becomes blurred.
The sunlight that the giant had been blocking seeped through the fog, casting a crimson glow across the entire 51st floor.
Indeed, the power of Beelzebub.
When it came to ‘eating’, his power was unparalleled by any other constellation.
When the cruel sound of the giant’s body being crushed becomes deafening.
gulp.
– Krrrr… … .
Ruin completely swallowed the giant’s body.
The giant’s corpse was no longer visible through the wolf’s head, which was covered in crimson fog.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ is astonished.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, sweeps his chest, saying that he is completely relieved.

– The constellation ‘Serpent Surrounding Time’ sends you an urgent warning.
‘warning?’
By the time I could understand what Leviathan meant, Ruin had returned to Seun’s stigmata after completing his mission.
The scene where the dark red fog surrounding the altar suddenly rushed toward the stigmata gave off a rather mysterious atmosphere.
However, Se-un couldn’t help but groan at the hot pain he felt right after.
“Ugh… … !”
How should I express this?
How does it feel to have the back of your hand burned with a soldering iron?
No, it’s different. It feels like something huge is forcing its way into a narrow passage.
The passage is torn and collapsed, and the pain is felt by Seun.
It was not long before I realized what the pain was all about.
‘Is the giant not fully digested?’
If you think about it, it was only natural.
Although he was able to swallow it with the help of Beelzebub, it was impossible to digest the constellation at once, which was so high that it surprised even the demons.
The giant is just a compressed form inside Ruin’s stomach. It will probably take a very long time for it to be digested.
It was natural for Ruin, who was carrying a giant in his stomach and returning to the stigmata, to feel this kind of pain.
‘Should I throw away some of it?’
If the stigmata are passageways, then the end of the passageway naturally represents the level of the soul, which can be called a vessel.
If I stop right here, I might not be able to handle the pressure of forcing myself in any further and my soul might burst.
Although he had a hard time swallowing the giant, Seun knows how to let go of his arrogance.
And then, new support came in.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, shakes its head at your ridiculous greed, but also feels sympathy.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with the Head Down’, declares that it cannot tolerate those it watches over throwing away the spoils that have already been returned to its grasp.
– The constellation, ‘The Raven with its Head Bowed’, bestows divinity upon you.
A purple aura pouring down from Seun’s right side.
When a player receives divinity from a constellation and is appointed as an apostle, he naturally becomes one step closer to the constellation he follows.
This means that the player’s rank can be explained as getting closer to the constellation.
Likewise, the rank of Seun, who received the divinity from Mamon, was elevated.
The help that came down to Se-un did not end there.
– The constellation ‘Snake Surrounding Time’ worries you, telling you not to push yourself too hard next time.
– The constellation, ‘Snake Surrounding Time’, has not yet recovered its rank, so I hope that even a small amount of strength can be of help.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, bestows divinity upon you.
A blue aura pouring down from Seun’s left side.
I felt the divinity of Leviathan dwelling in Seun’s soul.
This was my first time receiving divinity in such a formal manner, so I felt a little strange. Now I understood why the Apostles were so attached to their constellations.
Because this feeling of fulfillment was more thrilling and refreshing than any pleasure from any pastime.
– The constellation, ‘Sleeping Goat’ yawns, saying that it would be a problem if you were already dead.
– The constellation, ‘Sleeping Goat’, bestows divinity upon you.
The last one to come down was Belphegor’s signature blue divinity.
The three divinities were engraved into the soul, and Seun’s status grew amazingly in an instant.
The amount of divinity that even an average apostle possesses is easily surpassed.
The stigmata that seemed ready to burst just a moment ago began to absorb the hesitant crimson fog.
‘It is possible now.’
Even though I received so much help, I don’t feel relaxed. However, I don’t feel like it’s impossible either.
Although it was precarious, it seemed like I could absorb the giant’s momentum now.
To be exact, it is more of a temporary storage level rather than absorption.
– Krung… … .
Just before the crimson fog was completely absorbed by the stigmata, Ruin’s voice, filled with complicated emotions, was heard.
It seems like the feeling of satisfaction from being full, the regret of not being able to digest it, and the unpleasant feeling of having a bloated stomach are all mixed together.
Finally, the crimson fog that surrounded the altar engulfed the giant and took hold of his stigmata.
“Phew… … .”
There was no time to spare.
Even with the help of three demons… … no, even with the help of Beelzebub, even with the help of four demons, it was still just barely enough.
If we compare divinity to water, it feels like if we add just one drop here, the bowl will overflow.
In the meantime, the giant’s stature that had not yet been digested was clearly felt.
Even though we’ve absorbed all the giants, it’s not over yet.
‘Because in order to fully exert power, you have to digest this power.’
A very small portion has already been digested.
However, the digested portion is literally a very small portion, less than 1%.
I don’t know if time will solve this, but it is clear that we must somehow find a way to harness all this power.
If, really if, I could absorb this power perfectly without waste… … .
‘Constellation.’
You may be able to reach the realm of gods that you have always looked up to.
– Oh, really… … .
As I was staring at the stigmata that was still glowing crimson, I heard the sobbing voice of the deceased next to me.
I don’t know what kind of relationship the shadow and the giant had, but the reaction was quite intense.
It was blurry and hard to see, but it seemed like I was seeing the figure of someone sending off a loved one.
– You’ve worked hard. You’ve really worked hard. Even after death, you’ve finally achieved what you couldn’t achieve for so long. Finally… … .
Kugugugugu-
A violent vibration was felt beneath my feet. The altar was sinking into the wilderness, raising a thick cloud of dust.
With him, the already blurry image of the body became even blurrier.
– Are you happy? I’m sure you are. You have truly died, and you have entered the ‘cycle’ you so desperately wanted. You will be happy.
Shadows and giants.
What was their relationship?
At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as I watched Janyoung’s reaction, I suddenly became curious about their relationship.
Somehow, the giant’s corpse, which was trapped in the stigmata, also seemed to be emitting a faint energy in response to the afterimage.
– Now I will follow, great one. To where your death has led. Into the cycle you desired. I will follow.
The body of the blurred afterimage swayed like ash and flowed into Seun’s stigmata.
It is impossible for anything to enter the stigmata without Se-un’s permission, but somehow it feels like the stigmata is allowing the shadow’s entrance.
The moment when all the afterimages disappear and the altar sinks beneath the wilderness.
“Geuuuuuu-”
“Geuuuuuuuu-”
“Kuaaaahhhh-!”
All the undead in the wilderness began to howl and make sounds different than usual.
