Episode 421
421
Even as Helena’s verdict continued, the Lord of Abyss attempted to summon more prisoners.
Since the massive energies intertwined and filled all directions, the summoning itself was not difficult.
But at that moment, when both the Heavenly Realm’s energy and the Abyss’s energy were brimming full.
Helena snapped her fingers in that instant.
Then, an energy of the Abyss that had never been seen before revealed itself.
As the Abyss deeper and darker than the Abyss itself emerged, the Lord of Abyss’s pupils trembled violently.
“…This, this is.”
The Lord of Abyss, who had not spoken a single word until now, opened his mouth.
Helena smiled faintly.
As the Abyss’s energy appeared, it became the Abyss itself and swallowed all the energies around it whole.
The Heavenly Realm’s energy, the Abyss’s energy, and even all the natural energies that had existed here before—it consumed them all.
Nothing remained of the energies in this place, and Helena gazed upon the Lord of Abyss.
Feeling the Abyss’s energy, the Lord of Abyss, whose pupils trembled, asked Helena.
“You, surely not.”
“Yes, that surely is correct.”
As all energies merged into one, Helena smiled faintly and wielded the Abyss’s energy.
The Heavenly Realm’s energy, the Abyss’s energy, and even the natural energy—the Abyss that combined them all digested them and grew its own magnitude further.
Witnessing what could be called the foundation of all black magic that commands the Abyss, the Lord of Abyss trembled.
The Abyss is neither Hell nor the Demon Realm, but another dimension.
Yet because it is called the foundation of all black magic, both the Demon Race of the Demon Realm and the demons of Hell have all grown up seeing the Abyss.
The Abyss is a dimension far more elevated than Hell and the Demon Realm.
Recalling the Helena of the past upon witnessing Helena wielding that Abyss, the Lord of Abyss swallowed hard.
This is impossible.
How could Helena, or rather that woman presumed to be Helena’s fragment, wield the Abyss?
The Heavenly Realm’s energy is also unreasonable, but since it was the Heavenly Realm’s energy that Helena had brought from the Heavenly Realm in the past, it could be overlooked.
But it is impossible to wield the Abyss while possessing the Heavenly Realm’s energy.
If the Heavenly Realm’s energy is the source of holiness that the Heavenly Realm and Heaven believe in, then the Abyss is the origin of black magic that the Demon Realm and Hell believe in.
But one cannot possess both simultaneously.
Just as burning ice cannot exist.
“This, this is impossible.”
Yet it had already come to pass, and Helena was wielding both.
The lord of the Heavenly Realm and the lord of the Abyss.
Helena, who had become the lord commanding the two that form the foundation of all things.
And the Lord of Abyss could now comprehend.
There was only one reason this was all possible.
“Are you, are you truly Mother?”
It was only possible when she who feared nothing was not a fragment but her true self.
Though Helena’s current power might be weaker than it was in the past, if she possessed both of these energies, it was certain.
That the soul belongs to Helena.
The Lord of Abyss spoke thus.
Helena hummed softly as she replied.
“That’s what I said—it’s me.”
At Helena’s words, the Lord of Abyss trembled as if all the blood drained from his body, turning ice-cold.
He had finally grasped what he had done.
But it was far too late.
Helena gazed at the Lord of Abyss with a smile, yet her eyes remained glacial.
The expression she always wore when truly angered.
Murakan, the Lord of Abyss, could discern it from that gaze alone.
It was real.
There was no way those eyes could exist unless it was genuine.
That same gaze he had witnessed the last time before being sealed by Helena.
And so the Lord of Abyss’s mind raced rapidly.
‘There’s no way I can win.’
His power had diminished, and this was not his true form?
What difference did that make?
This was not some fragment carrying only memories—it was her very soul, possessing all of her memories, her complete self.
I must escape from here.
He attempted to reveal his power and flee by any means, but—
Helena spoke as she observed the Lord of Abyss.
“You’re not harboring the hope that you might escape, are you?”
“….”
Feeling all strength drain from his body, he could only stare at Helena.
Helena devoured all the power and made the Abyss her own, then split it in half.
And the Lord of Abyss could do nothing but watch.
The Abyss and the Heavenly Realm intertwined, white and black beginning to merge.
As they swirled together like the yin-yang symbol, mixing with one another, Helena smiled faintly and spoke.
“Secret Art: 『Chaos』”
With those words, the Heavenly Realm and Abyss—which could never be mixed—fused as one and exploded.
Light and darkness, shadow and illumination—something before the birth of this mysterious and wondrous world that was neither light nor dark erupted forth, consuming everything.
Within that Chaos where sky and earth could not be distinguished, only Helena remained whole and suspended, watching the Lord of Abyss as his limbs and entire body separated, drifting through the void.
My child, whose body decomposed in the past, unable to overcome the Chaos.
Yet Helena’s eyes remained only cold.
The child I had cherished with such care, thinking them my own, yet ultimately brought only disappointment.
For this child had cast people into the Abyss, seeking only selfish gain.
I could not forgive them.
Helena lifted the severed head of the Lord of Abyss without even leaving a final word.
Then—
With the power of the Abyss, she concentrated all the remaining energy the Lord of Abyss had left into his head.
If I recover it like this, I can inherit all of the Lord of Abyss’s power.
However.
“This is a gift for Yoo Sung-hyun, after all.”
Helena said this while observing the adjacent room.
The Lord of Destruction was fighting against the Backup Team.
He was no different from Helena’s child of the past.
A child born with the power of destruction who slaughtered the innocent—I had taken him in and taught him how to suppress his instincts, but he ultimately went astray, was hanged, and became sealed within me.
Varian.
Such a pitiful and unfortunate child.
Later, he became a child corrupted by my own hands.
I had no intention of forgiving him like I did Murakan.
Above all, now that I’ve met Yoo Sung-hyun.
‘It’s time to settle the past.’
In the past, I possessed the power and standing to do as I pleased.
But not anymore.
For Yoo Sung-hyun’s sake, I needed to settle accounts with the past.
While observing carefully like this.
The Lord of Destruction resorted to a cowardly tactic, so Helena appeared and helped.
“Gasp!”
As the final head rolled across the floor.
Helena smiled faintly and sealed the power of destruction in her mind, just as she had with the Lord of Abyss.
Similarly, if I obtain this, I could become the Lord of Destruction.
In any case, after resolving the problem like this, Helena tried to slip away secretly.
But then.
-LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHA
-They barely won HAHAHAHA
-They actually won HAHAHA
-This is insane.
-DDDDDD how did they even win?
While the viewers were all marveling at how they actually won.
Michael shouted toward the many viewers.
“Ahhh! Reinforcements arrived!!! The Demon King’s minions arrived, and that’s how we barely managed to win!!!”
“Hmm?”
Hearing what Michael said, Helena looked at him with quite an amused expression.
And Helena, who felt something like a gaze from another world, watched for a moment.
Michael continued without stopping.
“Ah, so with the Lord of Destruction defeated! Now shall we check the contribution? The very end was too fast, so we still can’t tell who dealt the final blow!!!”
At Michael’s words, the viewers’ chat flooded in.
-Wait, did the Demon King’s minion solo the Lord of Abyss??????
-Does this even make sense????????
-Wait, shouldn’t we interview about catching the Lord of Abyss before the Lord of Destruction?
-For real, how did a single Minion catch him?????????
-How did she do it??????
-Are you saying the Demon King’s Minion is stronger than the entire Backup Team??????
-Does that even make sense????
-Is the Demon King’s balance even right?
-What is this for real????
-???????????
Everyone couldn’t help but be bewildered.
At first they rejoiced at the victory, but upon reflection, they couldn’t help but wonder how Helena had managed to win alone.
So naturally, everyone was curious.
Michael was about to announce the contribution breakdown when he suddenly thought it might be fine to ask, so Michael carefully turned his head.
But.
“…*gulp*, how should I ask?”
He looked back at the camera with a considerably frightened expression and asked again.
Helena, who had caught the Lord of Abyss alone.
Naturally, she was rather terrifying.
Her appearance was incredibly beautiful and captivating.
But the aura she gave off was simply too frightening.
It felt almost like facing the Lord of Abyss, Lord of Destruction, and Despair Lord for the first time.
She was indeed a Lord.
So it wasn’t an incorrect instinct.
hahahahahahahaha
Are you scared? Haha.
Haha, it is pretty scary though haha
-A Minion who caught a Lord boss alone? That’s way too scary.
How the hell are you supposed to ask that? Lol.
-He did ask, right?
-School days flashback ON!
-I think Michael Ham is the perpetrator, not the victim…
As such conversations went back and forth.
Michael and Helena made eye contact briefly.
Then Helena thought there was nothing wrong with what Yoo Sung-hyun was doing, so she smiled gently and asked Michael.
“Is there something you’d like to ask?”
She spoke kindly.
Michael’s expression showed he’d hit the jackpot.
“Oh! Of course! You’re the Demon King’s—I mean, Yoo Sung-hyun’s Minion, right?”
“Yes, I’m Helena.”
“Oh wow, even your name is beautiful!!!”
“Aha! You know how to appreciate things, don’t you?”
“Hehehehe! Thank you for the compliment!”
As the two of them conversed like that, the viewers couldn’t help but laugh along.
Who would have thought an actual interview would happen.
But then.
-????But do Minions really have that level of intelligence?
-Some do, but it’s rare to find ones with such advanced intelligence like an NPC, right?
-This is insane;;;
-Right.
-Ask how they caught it already!!!
As the interview unfolded, everyone grew excited and began speaking.
Michael also started the interview.
