Somebody Stop the Pope – 172



Episode 172

3.

Release.

In Eden I was the demon king who separated the head and body with my own two hands.

How did you separate them?

Of course it was separated by the power of God.

He pulled out the divine power that Limen had given him in one go holding it in his hand.

The Demon King is not one of those who bleed and die like other demons or beasts.

As they are beings standing at the pinnacle of magic their flesh and blood are made of magic.

Instead they carry something called a ‘soul stone’ which acts as a focal point for magic similar to a heart.

The way to destroy them is to extract their ‘soul stones’ and destroy them.

The reason I ripped Lilith’s neck out was because the ‘soul stone’ was embedded right below the guy’s neck.

Kwauuuu-.

Kyaaaaah!

The legions led by Lilith boast overwhelming numbers compared to the legions of other Demon Kings.

As if to prove it a scream rang out from beyond the gate that had appeared in the sky.

In addition some demons are already sticking their heads through the gate and appear ready to cross over at any time.

At that sight I laughed bitterly and said something.

“I guess you still only bring around horny ones. I always felt that way but that suits you just fine.”

『Your tongue is still so attractive. How good it would feel if you whispered dirty stories to me with that tongue. Just thinking about it makes my whole body tingle. It keeps getting more and more exciting.』

Release whispered to me while floating in the air.

The guy’s voice rode the wind and wrapped itself around my body. As expected of a guy from the Mongma clan who became the Demon King his voice itself contained the power to enchant people.

Fortunately a huge sacred barrier has been created around the holy land and it is a voice that contains powerful magic that can cause mass confusion.

– Lethal energy wave detected. Begin analysis.

The voice itself was already a weapon as Raphael’s ‘David’ spat out in a mechanical voice.

There was also a certain imperial order that existed in Eden that was possessed by that voice and killed each other.

A massive army and ridiculous power.

Because of those two things in battles between large armies it was Lilith who always caused the most damage.

I slowly raised my head and looked at the release.

“The shell has changed.”

From a Korean perspective Lilith’s appearance which had a Western feel had already changed to that of an Oriental person.

The incarnation of the Demon King.

I once dealt with a guy in Korea who was supposed to be the incarnation of the Demon King of Wrath but it seems like that guy’s incarnation appeared in China.

“Um Pope I’m sorry to interrupt your speech but can I ask you something?”

“Yes please.”

“Is that guy a stripper? He looks so naked.”

Raphael shook his head and clicked his tongue.

A look at the release that reveals her voluptuous upper body.

It was so explicit and obscene that if Seungwoo or Siyeon were next to me I would have covered their eyes right away.

I nodded and chuckled at Raphael’s words.

“I don’t think there are many people who would call the Demon Lord of Lust a stripper.”

“Oh is that the Demon King? Somehow. It seems like his desire to explore is boiling over. Then I will call him the Demon King of Exploration.”

“…as you wish.”

The Demon King of Lust exerts overwhelming power only on male subjects.

But it didn’t seem to have any effect on me or Raphael.

Even if I were to assume that I was free from his charm thanks to my divine powers.

“Hey stripper I’ll give you a tip so please spare some time for me!”

How on earth does this crazy guy hold out?

In addition he was fully equipped with a combat suit that he had acquired from somewhere.

Raphael tapped the crystals embedded throughout his suit and then gave a thumbs up.

“I liked that movie too Iron Brother.”

“Oh yes.”

“Okay then I’ll go evacuate the civilians. Oh and I’ll be there in a minute. That’s all for now.”

Raphael who was fully equipped with a helmet immediately moved his body and Lilith who had been quietly listening to our conversation said something.

“Are you crazy because you’re from Earth? It seems like all humans on Earth are insane….”

“Every modern Earthling is lacking something. And… I guess your sexual appeal is lacking. You need to work on it.”

As I said that I slowly walked forward.

As expected Lilith was weak to the point of being insignificant compared to her in Eden.

In terms of numbers should we say that it has weakened to about one-third?

Despite this Lilith’s expression was full of composure.

“Don’t be nervous Pope. I just came today to let you know that I’m back. I have no intention of fighting you yet.”

Lilith smiled as she stroked her neck.

A purple magic sparkles in her eyes.

“I wanted to show you. I really wanted to show you that we had successfully established ourselves on Earth.”

I knew from the beginning that he had no will to fight.

If the guy really wanted to fight me to the death there wouldn’t have been time to talk.

They must have unleashed a barrage of troops waiting beyond that gate.

Then one question arises here.

He has no intention of fighting so why did he come here?

『The nameless human said that your subordinates also came to Earth quite a lot?』

If you say a person without a name it seems like you are referring to the ‘nameless’ guy we talked about briefly last time.

I continued to walk forward slowly drawing up my divine power as I answered.

“Do you know?”

『I can’t kill you right now. I haven’t fully recovered my strength yet. But I can definitely kill your subordinates. The glutton has also obtained the incarnation. I’m sure he’s already devouring your subordinates by now.』

I heard from Luna that magic is spreading from the gate of Gwangmyeong City.

Now I can finally see what this guy’s intentions are.

“From the beginning the target wasn’t me but my subordinates. If the kids heard that they’d be really pissed.”

A simple diversionary operation.

Since they can’t kill me with their own power they plan to tie my hands and kill my subordinates.

I don’t know who came up with this idea but it was a really refreshing strategy.

“Who is stronger you the glutton or Lilith?”

“Similar?”

“Then there’s nothing to worry about.”

[Casts the skill <Chain of Parma Lv.Max>.]

The divine power that extended from my body split into dozens of branches and soon they became chains of pure white light that bound Lilith’s entire body.

But even when tied up Lilith spoke in a relaxed voice.

“Do you like tying play?”

“It’s kind of similar.”

『I should have told you earlier. But you know what? I have other incarnations anyway so even if I kill this one I’ll just be resurrected in another incarnation.』

That was when.

Missiles flying from the sky continuously pierced Lilith’s bound body.

A punishment that was quickly reformed by Raphael’s hands.

I will name it Heavenly Punishment 2.

For reference this is a version that also has an induction function.

Kwaaaaaaaang-.

Pure white fireworks begin to appear in the sky.

I looked at the fireworks and filled my gauntlet with divine power.

“Oh and I don’t like being tied up.”

The divine power that had been condensed in the gauntlet was instantly transformed into holy fire and shot out.

“I like to tie them up and beat them.”

4.

Shanghai China.

A huge cavity created in the basement of a building.

“Gyaaaaaaah!”

“Coolook. Keuuuuuuck.”

Hundreds of people lying on the floor died at the same time vomiting blood.

The magic circle drawn around them glowed brightly as it absorbed the victims’ blood but the light did not last long.

Woof woof woof.

Two beads at the center of the magic circle.

The beads greedily sucked up the blood flowing from the human corpses as if in a last desperate struggle.

But that was only for a moment.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaah-.

The two marbles shattered one after the other creating a huge explosion.

“It was a failure.”

A young man who was watching the scene from above said with regret.

Then Richie who was next to him bowed his head and expressed his will.

-The demon lords’ incarnations could not withstand the divine power.

“Just confirming that the gate can be utilized is a great achievement. And… the new weapon developed by the Limen Sect is surprisingly threatening.”

Anonymous smiled as he recalled the scenes from just a moment ago.

A new weapon newly developed by the Limen Church.

A hybrid of existing conventional weapons reborn through divine power.

“Did you say it was a divine punishment?”

Release and Baal.

Both were struck by the new weapon of the Limen Church.

In the case of the release Kim Si-woo was present at the scene so even if that were the case if we analyze the process that Baal went through we could easily guess the danger of the weapon.

Baal revealed himself at the gate.

As expected of the Demon King of Gluttony Baal boasted a size that overwhelmed even the surrounding buildings but his overwhelming size actually became a poison to him.

This is because his entire body was horribly destroyed by the ‘Heavenly Punishment’ missiles that arrived quickly.

“Where are the two crippled demon lords now?”

-…You are recovering your strength from the soul stone of the sanctuary. Since the damage from the divine power leaves aftereffects on the souls of the Demon Lords it seems that it will take about a month.

“Anyway they are all idiots. Try to follow along. The demon lords are idiots.”

-Great One….

“Can’t you follow along?”

The anonymous man smiled and reached out his hand towards Richie’s skull. Richie then bowed his head urgently and said.

-…The demon lords are idiots.

“That’s it.”

Anonymous nodded as if satisfied with the answer he had heard.

“You idiots don’t seem to know how hard it is to blow up the incarnation and save it. I’ve told you several times that it’s too early to stab them… There’s nothing more foolish than learning by doing. Compared to other demon lords Lust and Gluttony are too stupid and hasty.”

An anonymous voice echoed through the dark cave.

Anonymous flicked his fingertips toward the corpses strewn about the room.

Then black flames rose up and burned the corpses without leaving a trace.

“The other Demon Lords know how to distinguish between right and wrong… It’s really a shame to waste your incarnation like this. But isn’t that part of our Demon Lords’ charm?”

After finishing up everything perfectly the anonymous man turned his back. Then he continued asking questions while walking through the dark hallway.

“Have you looked into the whereabouts of those Baekmyeonggyo guys?”

– It seems clear that they have acquired something from the lost lands. They are currently establishing Vladivostok as a base. If you give me the order I will send troops immediately.

“The Limen sect is growing much faster than I thought. I think we should be keeping them in check… Just leave them alone. I wonder what the fanatics who worship the old are up to.”

The smile on the anonymous lips deepens even further.

“Tell each branch to start harvesting.”

-All right.

“I can’t help but wonder how sweet it will be once I put those sweet fruits in my mouth.”

It was a voice that seemed as if it was so joyful that it could not contain its joy.

Our Pope please stop this
