Apocalypse's All-Rounder Mischief

Chapter 144

Vicar of Pathus (5)

When he heard that his subordinate Dilus had found Kang Junyoung’s family, Kaios thought for a moment.

‘This is unexpected luck.’

Family is Kang Junyoung’s weakness.

It means that you can threaten Kang Junyoung, a 10-star rookie, and demand something from him.

However, Kaios knows that it would be very foolish to dare to threaten a 10-star god like that.

You may gain something temporarily, but you never know what kind of retaliation there will be in the future.

‘It would be wiser to dedicate it to Papilio.’

He betrayed Patus and chose Papilio as his new rod.

Although he is treated like a 9-star god, he has no choice but to be checked by the 9-star gods under Papilio.

But if she dedicates her family of her ten-star god Kang Junyoung to her, she will be able to defeat the other nine-star gods and become like her right-hand man in the papilio realm.

Even if Kang Junyoung gets angry in the future, Papilio will block it instead, so there was no burden for Kaios.

He said, ‘You have to be greedy only as much as you can handle anything. ignorance of fractions only brings anger.’

Kaios smiled softly and opened his mouth.

“So where are they now, Dilus?”

“I locked him up as soon as he found out he was in my realm.”

“Have you ever reported it to anyone other than me?”

“Is that possible? It was the first thing I reported to Lord.”

In an instant, a satisfied smile bloomed again on Kaios’ lips.

“Well done. Bring them here right now.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Dilus disappeared from the spot and reappeared after a while.

Behind him stood three humans with confused expressions.

A middle-aged man of a strong physique, a slender middle-aged woman and a woman in her twenties.

[Kang Tae-seok, Lv23]

– Race: Human

-Occupation: None

[Oh Ji-sun, Lv23]

– Race: Human

-Occupation: None

[Kang Seo-yeon, Lv23]

– Race: Human

-Occupation: None

Seeing them, Kaios’ eyes widened.

It is true that it matches Kang Junyoung’s family appearance and name that we have known so far.

But something was strange.

“What are you guys?”

When Kaios glared at him, Tae-seok Kang smirked and fell down.

Oh Ji-sun and Kang Seo-yeon, who were next to him, were the same.

They fell without a pulse, then turned to dust and scattered.

“They were not real, they were illusions, Dilus.”

“Hey, it can’t be!”

What surprised me the most was Dilus.

As a whopping 6-star god of chaos, it was absurd that he could not grasp any illusions of humans.

“No surprise, Dilus. It is an illusion spread by at least 8-star gods, so it is natural that you did not notice it.”“Who the hell did that?”

“I should find out now.”

Kaios’s eyes flashed coldly.

“Obviously, they must have been hiding in your estate. However, after some of the gods took them away, they created an illusion and left them behind. Who were the gods who visited your realm?”

“As far as I know, no one. As a six-star rookie, no one can visit the territory that I rule without a trace. Even the higher gods know that it is impossible.”

It was because of the barrier of divine power.

Even a god with 7 or more stars is impossible without breaking the barrier.

But the barrier had never been broken.

“You know it is impossible, but in reality it is not impossible.”

As Kaios sighed heavily as he spoke, Dilus looked at him with a surprised expression.

“Is it possible that there is someone who can sneak into my territory without breaking the barrier of divine power?”

“Of course.”

“Actually, Patus-sama would be enough. But as Lord knows, Patus-sama is not the type to do such trifles.”

“It is not.”

It’s not wrong.

Pathus would do it openly by nature, because he doesn’t like sneaking.

“However, I know that there is no one who can enter and exit the barrier of divine power without a trace except for Patus-sama.”

“Not necessarily. It’s certainly possible, Patus, but he’s capable of even nine-star gods like me.”

“How is that possible?”

“You’re asking a stupid question. Naturally, it is impossible, but if it is possible, there is only one reason, isn’t it?”

For a moment, Dylus’ expression brightened.

“You have received power from Patus.”

Then Kaios chuckled.

“Of course. All the gods of the nine stars, including myself, have been given such powers for a long time, but I just didn’t bother to reveal them to the outside world.”

To allow the nine-star gods to secretly examine the sympathy of each subordinate.

This was also the meaning of patus.

That’s because it’s easy to spot guys with other ideas.

“Have you been secretly examining my estate?”

Dilus asked with a look of reluctance.

Kaios nodded as if it was natural.

“Of course. I also know that you have transformed into a human and are falling in love with one of Earth’s human female Awoken. But it was not just a play, it seemed to be quite sincere.”

“That, it is…….”

Dilus gave a bewildered expression on his face.

It was his secret pleasure.

nobody knows

I thought that even Pathus wouldn’t know. As I said before, Patus ordered someone to do it, because she doesn’t like to secretly look into the secret affairs of the lower gods.

“It’s just a game.”

“Are you saying it’s just a play, not the truth?”

“That, that…”

“There is no need to try to answer. Do I have anything to do with what’s going on in your realm, whether serious or playful? Of course, according to Patus-sama’s rules, it is a serious felony for a god to fall in love with a lower-level being like a human being, but would I dare report such a thing and make you punished?”

“I’m out of face, Lord. Please close your eyes.”

Dilus begged with a dead face.

Kaios smirked.

“Anyway, it doesn’t matter now. It’s about who sneaked into your estate.”

“Of course not, Lord, so there are only two left.”

“Theseus is missing, not me, then Dubertina and Amas.”

The good god Dubertina and the evil god Amas.

It means that one of the two has found Kang Junyoung’s family in advance and is hiding the fact until now.

I don’t know what the plot is, though.

“Which of the two is it?”

“It seems that Amas-sama is clear. If it’s his personality, that’s enough.”

Among the gods, the most insidious, cruel, and evil being is the Reaper Amaz.

He might be the head of the evil gods.

“right. If it’s him, then he’s still there.”

Ironically, Ammas is now imprisoned for being misrepresented by Hariek, the representative of Pathus.

It means that no matter how hard you try, it’s impossible.

‘I’ll have to meet Amas.’

Even if he didn’t, he had been given instructions to persuade Ammas to join Papilio’s camp, so he was just looking for an opportunity.

***

After a while, Kaios appeared in front of Junyoung.

“Chaos is coming to an audience with Hariek, the representative of the great Pathus.”

Instead of bowing down, Kaios bowed down politely.

He is taking an example as if he was doing it to Patus.

Junyoung looked at it and burst into laughter.

‘You must have a plan.’

It is an attitude that is incomparably more polite than when I saw it in a conference room.

No matter how much he is the representative of Patus, he is an 8-star god, but there is no such thing as a 9-star god to bow down like this.

“Why did you ask to see me?”

Junyoung wondered what Kaios’s plan was, but asked with a calm expression without any expression.

“It’s no different, I’d like to ask permission to visit Amaswa for a while.”

“Amas, you know, is being punished for being rude to me. Why do you want to visit him?”

“Amas deserves punishment. I just want to confirm a few things about him in public affairs, but nothing else.”

“Public business?”

“It is not serious enough for the representative to care. They are just trivial things, so leave them to me.”

these are trivial things

you’re welcome! It sounds like something very important.

It felt very suspicious, but Junyoung nodded his head first.

“great. allow a meeting Come in.”

With those words, he opened a door to the barrier where Ammas was imprisoned.

[Patus’s representative, Hariek, allows you to enter the prison barrier.]

“I will never forget the consideration of the representative.”

With a smile of conversion inwardly, Kaios entered the barrier.

[You have entered the prison barrier of Patus.][Prison Barrier Inmate: Amas][Detention period: no deadline]

A dark space without light.

In one of them, a darkness darker than normal darkness stood motionless.

It was none other than the Reaper Amas.

He glanced back at Kai Os as he entered and frowned.

“Is it chaos? Could it be that he became like you too?”

“I don’t act like you, Amas. It was just a brief visit.”

“A meeting?”“Because of things related to the public affairs of the airspace.”

At Kaios’s words, Amaz shed a scorn.

“I’m here to ask you everything. It’s annoying, so please ask.”

Amas was annoyed, but answered what Kaios asked.

However, these are only superficial conversations, and in reality they were having another conversation in their hearts.

(What is the real reason you came here, Kaios?)

(I’ll ask you straight up. Where did you stole Kang Junyoung’s family?)

(You sound strange. If I had found them, I would have reported them to Lord earlier. Is there any reason to steal them? )

Amas had an absurd expression on his face.

(You’re going to break the shichimi? If you don’t cooperate with me, you may be here forever.)

(What does that mean?)

For a moment, Kaios smiled meaningfully.

(Listen, Amas. Patus will never return.)

(What nonsense are you talking about?)

(No bullshit, Amas.)

Amasu’s eyes twinkled.

(I bet you betrayed me? Do you think it will be alright? )

(Keep! Betrayal! Not only was it not enough to turn a poor guy like Hariek into a protest, but it was also Pathus that gave him the power to act as a proxy. Is there still any loyalty left to dedicate to Pathus who loves such an idiot for us who have been loyal like dogs?)

( Shut up! )

(Are you not truly loyal to Pathus anyway? Even if you did, it doesn’t matter. You will no longer have any loyalty to the lost beings. )

(Can’t you shut up?)

Amaz looked bubbly, but at the same time he was confused.

In fact, he knows it too.

He said that Kaios would never have come here to bullshit.

In other words, it is highly likely that it is true that Pathus will not return.

As he watched his expression change, Kaios looked at him for a moment with a meaningful smile.

Then he opened his mouth.

(Again, Pathus is not coming back. That means this is our world now. If there is only one.)

( ··········. )

Amas was silent for a moment, then he asked.
