Chapter 891
## Chapter 891
The land of fire, at the time when Orgal went to meet with the Red Legend Tribe and encountered Manoff.
Sheenu looked around in silence.
Once upon a time, no being could reach this place recklessly. Even if someone managed to enter without permission, they would be consumed by the fire that filled the land and die. Among the immortals, only the highest-ranking gods who could rival him and the Genesis Knights among mortals could withstand that fire.
But now, the majesty of the Land of Fire had disappeared, with more than half of its territory scorched and frozen.
It was because of Luke.
Not long ago, the former God of Battle of the Legend Tribe who had stormed into the Land of Fire had pushed Sheenu to his limits.
[Like Vahn, he is a terrifying person. I couldn’t guarantee victory against him even if he wasn’t disappearing.]
At Sheenu’s words, Kadun nodded slowly.
It was because he couldn’t speak. Most of Kadun’s body was composed of chaos, and after he died once in the battle against Beradin, he had become little more than a ghost.
The power of the fire dragon, which symbolized Zipple’s strength, had almost disappeared, and chaos barely kept him alive.
And among them was another person whose life was hanging by a thread, sustained by chaos and Sheenu’s authority.
Kelliark Zipple, was also going through cycles of fury and unconsciousness. The moment he escaped the ‘Fire Ring’ created by Sheenu, he would surely die.
[Cough.]
As Sheenu sat on the ground, his body trembled.
An hour ago, Luke had returned once more to the Land of Fire. The second battle he fought was even more intense than the previous one, causing much more damage.
The reason Sheenu was able to survive this time and was able to show his regret was because of Luke’s mercy.
More precisely, he kept him alive for the needs of the Sun God Religion, nothing more.
[Perhaps Luke will return in the near future. When that happens, I will only have one option. Either threaten them by saying that I will die the moment they attack again, or fight them.]
There was no escape.
Accepting death would naturally be the end, and even if they fought, he couldn’t even die and be dragged away miserably to be used as material for the Demon God Orb.
In the first place, it didn’t seem like threats would work. If Sheenu didn’t want to become material for the Demon God Orb and wanted to die, then that opportunity was only now. Right now, Luke has the authority to decide Sheenu’s fate as he wishes. Whether to save him or kill him, it all depended on Luke’s will.
-[Among the priests I met this time, many were former members of the Legend Tribe. There was also an individual who was a God of Battle in the past. If they appear in the human world, the obvious result would be destruction, wouldn’t it?]
-It seems you’ve been through a difficult battle and are scared, Sheenu. I don’t know why the former members of the Legend Tribe are aligned with the Sun God Religion, but they won’t be able to cause destruction in the human world.
-[I hope you can keep your word. Always be wary of the shrine maiden. The day the demon world opens, this world will no longer be what you knew.]
-I hope you continue to fight and disappear at the opportune moment. In other words, your disappearance will not affect the rebirth of the Sun God.
Sheenu was remembering the conversation he had with Jin the day they met.
At this rate, the outcome would soon coincide with Jin’s wishes. The outcome would be what Jin wanted: to disappear without affecting the rebirth of the Sun God.
Since he was born as an immortal, Sheenu was feeling a sense of worthlessness for the first time. All the things he had accumulated for so long were fading away like bubbles.
How the hell did things get to this point…?
Was trying to surpass the power of the Sun God the problem?
Orb of Origin, the original of the Demon God Orb.
Created after the death of the Sun God, that object contained the power of all immortals.
The initial purpose behind the creation of the Orb of Origin was to prepare for the time when the gods were attacked by mortals or gods attacking each other, which would lead to the destruction of the world.
However, the completed Orb of Origin turned out to be much more dangerous than the immortals had anticipated, and it was eventually discarded when the history of the world entered a significant phase.
And the one who first proposed the need for the Orb of Origin was none other than Sheenu. He had been more proactive than anyone else in creating the Orb of Origin, and he was convinced that the Orb of Origin would inevitably be discarded once completed.
However, the reason he had insisted on creating the Orb of Origin was to eventually create a replica, the ‘Demon God Orb’, and seize it.
He wanted to confirm if the power of the Origin Stone was truly as incredible as the theory suggested. Could it really dominate all the gods, even Solderet and Heluram, and eventually even go beyond the Sun God? That’s why he needed to do it. He needed to test the theory.
However, from that point on, Sheenu’s expectations had been wrong: the mistake was ‘The Five Black Sea Kings’.
[Perhaps the fact that the fragments of the Orb of Origin became the monsters known as the Five Black Sea Kings was a warning from the Sun God. Or maybe it was a joke from the Witch Heluram… If only I had given up my desire for the Demon God Orb and focused on eliminating the Five Black Sea Kings at that time. Would the situation be better than now?]
Kadun still had no answer.
Even Kelliark, gasping for air inside the Fire Ring, said nothing. If the Young Fire Dragon Pyre were here, he would have answered anything. But Pyre was currently searching for the sealed dragons that Sheenu had imprisoned in the past. Pyre was the only one in Sheenu’s group who was in good condition.
Pyre’s existence was a glimmer of hope.
If Pyre found the ‘Sealed Dragons’, they would have no choice but to help Sheenu, despite not wanting to.
Dragons that Sheenu couldn’t control despite creating them.
‘Trakalnis’, the prodigal son of fire, the first Fire Dragon King, and he had power that surpassed that of his successor, Kadun. Sheenu had never needed his power so much.
If he were here, he could have bought all the time they wanted against Luke, and he might be able to burn away the chaos that enveloped Kelliark.
So in the end, all Sheenu could hope for now was that Pyre would visit the Land of Fire with good news.
In front of Jin, Sheenu had shown all the power and dignity of a god, but it had all been an empty show.
Currently, Sheenu had lost most of his power and authority, he lost his contractor, he lost his most cherished guardian dragon, and he was abandoned by Zipple. He was nothing more than a miserable existence. That’s why Pyre had found the Tikan in such a pitiful and hungry state.
Thinking about Jin, who had seen through this and mocked him, made him feel even more miserable from within.
[…I guess we’re reaching the point now where simply accepting death would be better, Kadun. Most mortals in the world can rise again, overcoming this kind of self-hatred.]
For the first time, Kadun raised his head. Every time he shook his head, the blood of chaos seeped out of his blackened scales.
[You must want revenge. However, now, we have no choice but to acknowledge our defeat. My plan, which is older than the history of mankind, was flawed from the start, and the deformed results that barely emerged from that process eventually fell into the hands of others. We no longer have the strength to correct a twisted plan, nor the strength to reclaim the Demon God Orb.]
Kadun raised his head again.
Although he couldn’t speak, Sheenu knew what he was trying to say.
[Are you suggesting we join another faction? We have no value now. If we find the Sealed Fire Dragons, and use them as bargaining chips. Who would accept such a request?]
[Ugh…!]
Kadun made a weak sound.
[The Imperial Family? They are the people who would easily sacrifice us to Beradin to complete the Demon God Orb. Contacting Jin Runcandel again will only make our pathetic state even clearer. Orgal can protect us, but… he will use Bouvard’s ability to make us no longer ourselves. Now that I am weakened, that insignificant piece of a god’s reincarnation could easily achieve such a thing.]
[Grrr, red.]
[Do you want to talk about the Red Legend Tribe? They will likely try to use us as food to awaken their God of Battle. Then I can’t even die. As for the world of the true demon… Ugh, I don’t even want to talk about Zito. In this state, let’s just say it’s better that I don’t.]
Zito had always enjoyed tormenting immortals, and he cared little for justifications or consequences. His only concern was his own enjoyment. The current Sheenu was a perfect toy for Zito.
Sheenu touched his forehead and looked up, imagining Zito in his mind. Suddenly, he felt the sensation of the Land of Fire opening beyond the horizon.
Could it be that Luke had returned so soon?
Luke had left only an hour ago. Sheenu was sure that Luke would need at least three days to return to the Land of Fire, considering he wouldn’t be completely unscathed.
However, a moment later, Sheenu’s eyes fell on the Young Fire Dragon Pyre.
And there was someone completely unexpected.
“Uh, I’m sorry, Lord Sheenu. I should have obtained your permission beforehand… This person tracked me and followed me to the Land of Fire without any permission…”
Sheenu stared at the man who stood beside Pyre. Even Kadun blinked with wide eyes and shook his body in surprise.
[Ha, ha… Did my perception fail for a moment? Is that why I’m witnessing such a common farce, as mortals call it an illusion? I’ve reached that point, huh?]
The man didn’t respond to those words and slowly approached Sheenu. Despite his approach, Sheenu showed no signs of caution and instead extended his hand first.
[Welcome, Joshua Runcandel. I am, like you, a fallen being. The God of Fire, Sheenu.]
