Chapter 699
C699
"True creator..." said Jin.
Everyone has thought about it at least once.
If the G.o.ds created the world, who created the G.o.ds?
The answer to that question is usually similar.
Either there's another G.o.d above the G.o.ds, or it started to exist by itself.
Orgal claimed that it was the G.o.d Dol, "Kinzelo."
Unlike the countless frauds who had claimed to be the Sun G.o.d until then, Orgal's claim had clear credibility.
Jin had personally experienced the power of the Sun G.o.d.
Valeria, who had suffered a mortal wound, was completely healed in the area formed by the residual energy of the Sun G.o.d, which the Zipple referred to as the Holy Land.Moreover, what about Bale being a creation of the Sun?
He was born with tremendous power, not to mention his divine combat prowess, and even his resistance to manipulation of history.
Without any training or enlightenment.
"What do you think, Sir Jin!? You've just discovered the greatest secret in the world. Doesn't it make your heart race?"
Margiela asked Jin impatiently.
Jin responded with a shrug.
Even if the Sun G.o.d truly existed, it wasn't a particularly interesting story for him.
Instead, it added another problem.
If he couldn't overthrow Kinzelo in time, he would end up in conflict with such a high-level being.
Of course, this was a story of when the Sun G.o.d truly existed, and resurrection was possible.
"Well, I'm not sure. Bale, what about you?"
"I'm not particularly curious either."
Bale's nonchalant response made Jin sigh.
If Bale had felt any longing for the enigmatic creator who had made him, it would have only added another source of concern.
Bale's only concern was Sarah Runcandel.
Now that he was facing the fact that Sarah had died a thousand years ago, this world was nothing more than a vast battlefield for him.
However, on that battlefield were those who had killed Sarah, as Jin had informed him. For Bale, the remaining meaning of his life was to eliminate them.
[Bale, aren't you curious about the being that created you?]
"Are you deaf? Why do you keep asking the same thing? It's annoying. I'm not impressed, and I'm not curious."
Bale's aggressive response puzzled most of Kinzelo's executives, and Orgal seemed somewhat saddened.
'It seems that Orgal, more than Bale, longs for the Sun G.o.d.'
Orgal is a demon, specifically a demon king with the nickname of the demonic beast king.
Jin thought that the combination of him and the Sun G.o.d was quite incompatible.
[It's a pity that the fragment of the creator is no different from other orphans. You must have known it from the moment you realized that you were a creation of the Sun G.o.d. Coff...]
"Hey, Jin. I don't like this; can I hit him once? I feel like he's treating me like a fool."
"You shouldn't hurt someone who's sick, especially since we're allies now."
Most of Kinzelo's executives still felt disappointed by Bale's actions, which they had eagerly antic.i.p.ated.
Jin, on the other hand, understood their disappointment.
He had felt something similar the first time he saw Bale.
"Bale-nim, imagine a world where the Sun G.o.d returns, and the world is purified."
Bale snorted as Margiela spoke with a bright smile, almost like a fanatic.
"I don't want that."
"In that world, Bale-nim, you will be able to reunite with the person you love the most."
"Sarah... will I be able to reunite with her?"
"Of course. The Sun G.o.d would never overlook Bale-nim's deep pain. After all, Bale-nim is a fragment of the Sun G.o.d, and your pain is also his. The only way to purify it is for Lady Sarah to return."
At that moment, Jin understood more clearly the reason why Kinzelo used Zipple to create the Decimating Flame Orb Of The Dark Sky-The Final Version Of The Demon Empress in the past and the background of their obsession with Bouvard Gaston.
'Fragment... it probably falls to Bouvard, that disgusting b.a.s.t.a.r.d, to gather and rea.s.semble the fragments of the Sun G.o.d.'
If that's the case, beings like Bale might not be unique.
Once again, Jin couldn't help but think that Kinzelo wasn't just a group of foolish idiots. The dangers they possessed were too extreme.
All of Jin's enemies are like that. Even thinking only of Rosa intimidated him, but his head kept throbbing because of the demon king and the Sun G.o.d.
Jin once again observed Bale's reaction.
He seemed somewhat influenced by the idea of being able to meet Sarah.
Jin decided to silently watch how he would respond.
"To h.e.l.l with this c.r.a.p. Even if the Sun G.o.d resurrected Sarah, she wouldn't be the Sarah I knew. She would probably be another Sandra Zipple. So don't mention Sarah again. If it weren't for the golden seal, you all would have turned to dust and scattered to the ends of the earth."
"Oh..." Jin exclaimed with admiration.
"That's a good answer, Bale."
Seeing that Bale wasn't swayed by Kinzelo, who had even mentioned Sarah, Jin felt strangely proud.
"Bale-nim, it seems there was a misunderstanding. What I meant was..."
"Enough with the nonsense. I allowed you to tempt Bale out of my own consideration. It's true that I somewhat despised your kindness. I've also heard something about Zito. But since he failed, don't cling to Bale any longer. It means showing me how Orgal will recover."
[Coff!]
"Look at this, you're still coughing like you're about to collapse. How can you even fight against Rosa in such a weak state? Orgal, when I unsealed Bale, I briefly saw Rosa. It seems she's becoming stronger than you expected."
-Everyone seems worried about when Rosa will move, but let me tell you one thing. It will take at least a year for her to take action. Until then, there will be no threat of world destruction.
During the first meeting of the temporary alliance, Orgal had mentioned that there was almost no chance of Rosa being active in a year.
"Only about three months have pa.s.sed since the first meeting where you said it would take at least a year. But the Rosa I encountered when I unsealed Bale... she seemed much stronger than when I attacked the Garden of Swords. Orgal, didn't you feel anything about it?"
[I didn't feel it. But if what you say is true, the day of the final battle may be approaching sooner than expected.]
"Yes. The already limited time has become tighter. That's why I brought Bale here, even though I knew it would benefit Kinzelo. I'm not here to quench your thirst for the Sun G.o.d."
Orgal nodded.
[To recover, I need Bale's power to be unleashed.]
As Jin gestured, a ring appeared above Bale's head, and wings formed on his back as golden energy emanated from him.
Then, Orgal's body, which was composed like smoke, began to thicken rapidly.
Just like dry land absorbs rain.
Bale felt a bit uncomfortable with his energy being absorbed, but he remained still.
"Jin, he's taking my power. Shouldn't we stop him?"
"If it causes permanent damage, try to stop it for now."
"That's not it... It's at an insignificant level."
It was only insignificant from Bale's perspective.
The Sun G.o.d's energy he possesses is almost infinite by human standards.
Seeing how Orgal's body became more distinct, Jin thought of Murakan.
It feels similar to when Murakan absorbs my Shadow Energy and recovers. It seems to work much better than that, but...'
That Orgal absorbs Bale's energy is quite similar to when Murakan woke up in the Storm Castle and tried to inhale Jin's Shadow Energy.
Then it means that Orgal is an existence created by the Sun G.o.d.
It's as if the Guardian Dragon receives power from its G.o.d.
[Whoa...]
When Orgal took a deep breath, he no longer had the ghostly form from before.
His features were properly displayed, and his nebulous body turned a distinct gray color.
There were still some blurry parts here and there, but if he covered them, he would become similar to other normal demons.
However, further recovery seemed impossible through Bale's energy.
"Finally, the coughing has stopped. Now, you've come closer to other demons."
[It's been a long time since I felt this good...]
"But it seems that recovery through Bale is the limit, doesn't it? To recover more, you need the Holy Land of Zipple."
It wasn't difficult for Jin to guess that the Sun G.o.d's power remaining in the Holy Land of Zipple was much purer than what Bale possessed.
"Congratulations, Master."
Zephyrin knelt before Orgal and spoke.
Although Jin didn't feel any perceptible change in Orgal's energy after recovering from him, he recognized through Zephyrin that his power had become immense.
Zephyrin emitted a tremendous aura incomparable to before.
When they first met in the Black King Mountain, Jin's story would have ended there if Zephyrin had that much power.
Zephyrin is a being that gains strength from Orgal. And until now, she had always heavily relied on Orgal's remaining power. However, even though Zephyrin's energy had become more immense than ever, there was no apparent impact on Orgal.
"Finally, I have a bit of faith in you, Orgal. I was wondering what would happen if you pretended to be sick until the day of the final battle. By the way, don't tell me your condition would worsen again if you use more than a certain amount of power like in the Kaldran Snowfield?"
[Don't worry about that. Unless it leads me to death, I can now maintain this level of condition at all times.]
It was a pleasant response to hear if Jin only considered the confrontation with Rosa, but it was a terrible prospect when imagining the future battle with Kinzelo.
[However, I suppose I'll need a period of adaptation. It should take a few days.]
"A few days is fine. Don't push yourself too hard or get carried away with the power you've recovered after so long. I'm saying this because you've been defenseless all this time; it's an unnecessary concern."
Orgal looked at Jin and smiled.
[I've only recovered 10% of my power, so I'm not ecstatic to the point of jumping for joy.]
"Only 10% and you're already at this level..."
[Didn't I mention during the meeting that if I were at my best, things wouldn't have turned out this way?]
Although Orgal's words didn't sound like empty bragging at all, Jin felt somewhat uneasy.
Bale abruptly turned his head and threw this question at Jin.
[He no longer seems like a patient, can I defeat him now?]
Jin let out a hearty laugh.
