The Devil Who Grants Wishes

142 – Void (8)

“I’m sorry…”

It’s dazzling.

There were quite a lot of cases where the life of the devil was dazzling as much as it was originally very weak to light, but this glare can be seen as different from those things.

In other words… yes, even if it was originally a human body, I could be sure that it would have dazzled my eyes.

Of course, it is much less dazzling than Ceraphia that terrorizes the eyes every moment, but this light has a different side to Cerapia.

For instance, that it was not meant to harm me.

This light is just… the feeling of being happy after meeting me bursts out spontaneously, not forcibly blinding me with the intention of causing harm.

“…This.”

And after the dazzle, the faces of those who had just been looking at me with shocked expressions disappear, and a space I have never seen before appears.

“Mr. Faust…”

Between the heavenly parks that look like they were drawn in pictures, in a space where the word “Garden of Eden,” which I had heard many times in my previous life, became a reality, a beautiful woman who grew up from flowers is smiling at me with a blushing face.

The body, not even wearing a single thread, shows off its beautiful figure everywhere without shame, as if it does not know any shame, just like Adam and Eve before eating the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

The warm sunlight shines down and the small hill with all kinds of beautiful flowers is a sight to behold, and you can hear the faint sound of birds singing in the distance, making your ears happy.

…what’s this.

this is all fake

“hehehe… How about it? As expected, it was better to do this. Rather than silently standing by my side and waiting to be chosen, I’ll actively dash like this—”

I’m sorry

“—-Uh, what…?”

As he stirred the air with his hands full of demonic energy, the beautifully decorated imaginary space began to return to the true form of Kael he had seen before.

As if using an extremely sharp eraser, the garden with the appearance of heaven disappears and the empty space shimmering with rainbow colors takes its place.

Seeing this, Flora looked at me in great bewilderment and widened her eyes.

“J-What are you doing now… It shouldn’t be like this—”

“Flora. I’m sorry.”

I hurriedly wave my hands here and there, grabbing Flora’s hand as she desperately tries to restore the space I erased.

…it’s very thin.

It feels like grasping the stem of a flower.

“Why… why are you apologizing? You should be thanking, not apologising… ugh…?!”

I use my grasping hand as a passageway and inject my demonic energy into Flora’s body.

There are so many demons that the fake space around it is erased as a side effect even though it is not particularly intentional, but Flora is not particularly damaged by the demonia.

“That, stop… uhhh… stop…”

Flora groans with her face contorted and sends me a sign to stop, but this is no damage at all.

It was just that the body, which had been mixed with the divine power of the god of light and the divine power, was itching to go crazy with the reaction to return to its original form.

“What the heck… why… do you… oops…”

“…Kuk.”

But my attempts go in vain.

Despite pouring out such powerful demonic energy, Flora did not regain her former form.

Of course, since the body had already been transformed, it was okay because the possibility of regaining its previous appearance was low, so expectations were low, but regaining sanity was also of no use.

The divine power and divine power that filled this area were affecting Flora at every moment.

In order for Flora to come to her senses, it seems that she has to hurry out of this space, Kael, and forcefully drag her to the underworld.

Unlike before, when I didn’t know Kael’s coordinates at all, now I know the coordinates of the underworld, so it’s easy to just open a portal and run away to the underworld, but dragging Flora out by force seems to be quite complicated.

“Be still… Please stay still… Huh?”

“…Flora, you are insane. If you are a follower, serve me, your master, with all your heart and soul.”

“Serving… you know…!”

Flora, whose loyalty to serve me has been twisted into saying that she can do anything for me and that she must do something against my will, is angry at my actions.

Flora, who would have never conceived of the notion of being angry at my actions before, tries to keep me from doing anything stupid.

The space that was revealed by my magician takes on the appearance of a fake garden again thanks to the power of Flora.

“Here, in this place… You can be free from all that pain. You can enjoy a pleasant life, a beautiful life, a peaceful life, a life free from pain… Why!”

Flora’s roar disturbs my ears.

I didn’t know it at all when it was just a star-shaped monster, but Flora’s emotional expression comes to me quite fresh as Flora must have feelings too.

Of course, there is no time to feel that freshness right now.

‘…the god of light.’

When Flora let out her emotions, the power of light that she had only felt and didn’t know where she was until now was finally starting to show.

As if emitting a halo, like a halo in a medieval painting, the god of light that appeared behind Flora’s back is located directly opposite me with Flora in the middle.

Seeing that it doesn’t dwell in Flora’s body… As expected, that divine spirit waited for me to come and moved Flora–

[Owner captured.]

At that moment, the same mechanical sound that had been heard from all sides at the time of killing Seraphia began to be heard again.

…This is quite unpleasant.

At the time, I didn’t know that because I was so hectic that I prioritized running away, but… It’s a voice that is so annoying and makes my emotions shake.

[Proceed with admin ownership transfer process.]

Seeing that there were no errors or strange noises like before, it seems that everything went according to Belial’s words.

They used Flora, Nero, and the demons of Belial who were loyal to me to arbitrarily acknowledge me as the owner of the Goddess of Light.

go oh oh

After the mechanical sound that disturbs my ears ends, the spirit of light slowly approaches me.

So carefree, so calm, as if I couldn’t possibly refuse it.

In order to bestow the honor of being the ‘owner of the Goddess of Light’ to her master, Flora holds onto my whole body so that I cannot run away.

…haaa.

It’s surprisingly frustrating.

I had a lot of worries, such as what to do if the heads of my subordinates were gone, what to do if the god of light rushed at me, and if I owned the god of light, how to continue killing people so that the world would not be destroyed. As soon as I had the god of light right in front of me, all those worries flew away.

Pajijijik-!

“Fa, Mr. Faust?!”

When the crystal of the Demon Deity is stretched forward, the Deity of Light reacts with the Deity of the Demon and bounces back with a tremendous roar.

Seeing this, Flora calls me out in a panic, but I’m not in the mood to take care of Flora right now.

Why do I have to be treated like that?

Will the world end? what is that like

It wouldn’t have been that the life limit was met tightly anyway, but the world wouldn’t perish until Lucia died of old age.

After Lucia enjoys her natural life, well… it doesn’t matter if the world perishes.

[Error detected.]

“Noisy.”

When I refuse the trust of the light, this raspy mechanical sound starts to rant again.

I mean, I feel really bad about this.

It’s because it’s the same as the error sound that pops out of the computer that I’ve always heard in my fictional days.

[Error detected. Error detected.]

“Faust-sama, what are you doing right now—”

“If you’re a member of the family, answer only questions like a member of your family.”

“Sss… yes, yes…”

With one hand, I defeat the spirit of light that keeps approaching me, and with the other hand, I block the mouth of Flora who is talking loudly and bring her face closer to me.

…It’s violent, so I didn’t mind it, but it’s good that the effect is certain.

“Are you an agent of the Divinity of Light?”

“N, yes… yes…”

“Where are all the other members of the family?”

“Some went out to spread the faith of Faust, and some are waiting in Kael…”

“It would be impossible to drag everyone out.”

I tried to forcefully drag everyone out of this fake disguised space and heal them back to normal, but it’s impossible to deal with them all at once if everyone is this far away.

Tsk… Well, okay. As long as you take care of Flora and Nero, there is no problem with the rest.

[Error detected. Run debugging mode.]

At that moment, the light suddenly starts to disappear from the world.

The image of Flora, which was right in front of my eyes until just now, has disappeared completely, leaving only a pitch-black space. It’s like looking at a universe with no stars.

Panicked, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and stirred the space where Flora was, but nothing was touched there. There is only emptiness.

…what is this.
