CHAPTER 789

[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]

-Furthermore, one could interpret that you and Orgal's Kinzelo are trying to resurrect the sun god in different ways. So, what you just said is particularly hard to believe. Your faction could be focused on destroying this world completely before resurrecting the sun god. You might be using the evil god to achieve that goal.

As soon as Jin heard Sheenu's word, he recalled the conversation he had with Sanna.

'It was just a passing comment, but could she really be capable of such actions?'

According to Sheenu, Sanna possessed even more dangerous ideologies than Rosa in the past. Moreover, Sheenu, a god himself, appeared directly before Jin to provide information about Sanna. This indicated that Sanna's abilities were likely formidable.

"So, is that why she is trying to harness Zipfel's power, to destroy the world until the gateway to the Demon world is discovered?"

[Yes.]

"Why is the altar of the sun god in the Demon world? Initially, it seems strange that Orgal follows the sun god, and there seems to be some connection between the demons and the sun god, right?"

[Strictly speaking, everything in this world is related to the sun god. The world and life itself originated from the sun god.]

"I didn't ask that question to hear such an uninteresting answer. The connection of Sun god with the Demon world seems deeper."

[Well, I don't know exactly when and how the demons were born. However, the early demons always yearned to escape the nether and enjoy life on the surface. Since light symbolizes the surface, it's natural that they would worship the sun god, isn't it?]

Unraveling the relationship between demons and the sun god wasn't an immediately pressing matter. Jin decided not to question Sheenu any further and said:

"Understood. Thanks to you, I now know Sanna's objective, so I should think about how to deal with it. Since you're practically helping me, please let me know who has intruded into your domain."

ShDemon worldeenu didn't come here originally for negotiations.

Jin had that impression. Sheenu was currently cornered and seeking a way out through him.

From Jin's perspective, it wasn't a bad situation at all. He had gained new information about the Demon world, the sun god, the demons, Sanna and the different religious sects of the Sun God.

Of course, eventually, Sheenu and Kelliark would have to be dealt with, but now was not the time. Engaging in a fight with Sheenu would only result in mutual destruction.

[They are priests of the Sun God religion.]

"It was rather obvious. Thinking about the appearance of Pyre, they must have been quite formidable opponents for you as well."

[The priests of the Sun God religion are mostly composed of deceased warriors who were once renowned.]

"So, they are resurrected ancient strong warriors. How tiresome."

[They are all driven by obsession and grudges. They became priests lured by the promise that they could obtain what they desired once the sun god is resurrected.]

"You possess particularly powerful abilities even among the gods. You say that even resurrected ancient strong warriors are active as priests of the Sun God. So, why doesn't Sanna directly release them into the human world?"

[The manifestation is limited. The priests are in a state akin to being gods. To use them in the human world, a contract or a special event is necessary.]

"Sounds like a matter of time then. The priests of the Sun God will freely act in the human world once the time comes."

[If that happens, it will be the end. Even if the major factions unite like during the evil god, they won't be able to stop it.]

"You speak of it with such a pessimistic tone."

[Jin Runcandel, how do you evaluate your brethren?]

Brethren.

Sheenu was not referring to Jin's bloodline, Runcandel.

"...The Plutonian tribe?"

[Among the priests I met this time, many were former members of the Plutonian tribe. There was also an individual who was a Battle god in the past. If they appear in the human world, the obvious result would be destruction, wouldn't it?]

The sense of trust evoked by the Seal of Fire remained unchanged. Jin remained silent for a moment, his expression stiffening, before shrugging his shoulders.

"It seems you've gone through a tough battle and are frightened, Sheenu. I don't know why the former members of the Plutonian tribe are aligned with the Sun God Religion, but they won't be able to bring destruction to the human world."

[I hope you can keep your word. Be wary of the shrine maiden. On the day the Demon world opens, this world will no longer be what you all know.]

"I hope you remain dormant as you are now and disappear at an appropriate time. In other words, your disappearance won't affect the revival of the Sun God."

Sheenu didn't respond. His gradually manifested divine form was becoming blurry. He had said everything he needed to say and now intended to leave.

Jin didn't bother to hold him back. After all, Sheenu had likely revealed all the information he had about Sanna.

Jin was curious about why Sheenu was disappearing, but he knew Sheenu wouldn't disclose it anyway. Sheenu had come to share information about Sanna and the Sun God, not to expose his weaknesses.

"Ugh."

As the avatar dissipated, Pyre's voice could be heard again. Pyre had no recollection of the conversation between Sheenu and Jin.

"Well, judging by the atmosphere, it seems like the conversation went well. Thank you, Sir Jin."

Perhaps due to the side effects of the avatar, Pyre hastily devoured the food placed in front of him once again. Latrie continued to provide him with more food, seemingly feeling sorry for Pyre's voracious appetite.

"Thank you, I really enjoyed it! I will take my leave now. Just to let you know in advance, it would be futile to chase after me and try to find out my destination..."

Cuicantelle looked concerned as she watched Pyre, who held the food given by Latrie as if it were a treasure.

"Take care, see you next time!"

Naturally, Jin and his companions ignored Pyre's words and told Bale to follow him.

However, about fifteen minutes after Pyre left, Bale returned and said that he had lost track of Pyre.

"I had been following him without ever losing sight, but suddenly, he vanished. It was like he teleported or something."

"He must have been summoned into Sheenu's domain. You did well, Bale."

First, Jin immediately shared the information he obtained from Pyre and Sheenu with the Runcandel and Honka Island.

{[Regarding the Demon world, I have no knowledge. The tales of its existence underground are not mentioned in any of the ancient texts or records left by my master. However, there were Histers who were researching demons. It may be necessary to find their succession temple and investigate further.]}

From Honka Island, they received a response about the "Histers who researched demons." Though it was speculative, finding their succession temple might provide some clues.

{[Regarding the gate to the Demon world, I feel like I heard something about it somewhere. My memories aren't clear, but I have a sense that my family and my kin were aware of the issue.]}

"Is that so?"

{[Yes, Lord Young Patriarch. Although it is not revealed in the events and records of the past thousand years, the Sun God Religion was active even during that time. Orgal sought to resurrect the Sun God, and Lokia thwarted his plans. I may not remember, but there were certainly significant events. Oh, wait a moment. It seems that Sir Alpen and Dame Tasha have something to say.]}

{[Lord young patriarch, chief of guardians of law is here.]}

"Yes, please go ahead. Sir Alpen."

{[I overheard the conversation and remembered something, so I requested to communicate. I had completely forgotten, but during the Holy Kingdom's Protection War, our greatest challenge was finding the gateway to the Demon world!]}

{[As my father said, Lord young patriarch. I also recall undertaking that mission.]}

Luet, Alpen, and Tasha felt a strange sensation as they heard the information that the gateway to the Demon world existed underground.

That information had implications for the history manipulations that had affected the three of them. It was the result of Jin defeating the history manipulation and the recent destruction of parts of the Tower of Stories. Like water seeping through a crack, the forgotten information was stimulating the memories of the three individuals.

"Please continue speaking."

{[During the Holy Kingdom's Protection War, our greatest challenge at the time was preventing the demons from replenishing their forces. No matter how many we killed, they kept coming back, and sometimes even demons who were believed to have been slain would reappear.]}

"So, just like the evil god, the dead were being resurrected?"

{[That's what we initially thought. However, they weren't actually dead. Some high-ranking demons kept their main bodies in the Demon world while sending out avatars to engage in battle. Once we realized that, we became even more determined to find the location of the Demon world. If we couldn't find it, it would ultimately be the human world that fell first in the conflict.]}

Alpen recalled the vivid and brutal memories of that time. If there was an evil god in the present era, then during their era, the Holy Kingdom's protection war put the human world on the brink of destruction.

"Did you eventually find the location of the Demon world back then?"

{[No... we couldn't find it in the end. After Witch Helluram summoned the Demon Kings and we defeated them, I fell in battle. From then on, Tasha took charge of all the missions. Tasha, do you remember anything?]}

After Alpen's death, Tasha had been responsible for dealing with the remnants of the demons. Although referred to as remnants, many of them were powerful demons comparable to Demon Kings, and she herself perished at a young age.

{[After Father fell... About two or three years later, I have a memory of discovering an area that was presumed to be the location of the Demon world. I personally tracked down a group of our clan's Black Knights and a tribe of demons. The location was... Ugh.]}

Tasha touched her forehead for a moment. She experienced a severe headache from the sudden surge of memories. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Tasha to continue.

After composing herself, Tasha spoke again.

[...The capital of the Holy Kingdom Vankela..., Oterium. The land that was believed to have the gate to the Demon world was undoubtedly the capital of the Holy Kingdom, Vankela.]
