“Huh?”

The goblin, who had not yet grasped the situation, let out a dumbfounded groan.

Then it won’t work. Did I teach you that?

For a moment, I had a trivial delusion like what if I were Aru.

Before he is a skilled combat weapon, he is my loyal but picky subordinate.

Maybe he would be okay if I broke his heart? You must have done it.

But Aru will not die. Why did you kill him? These are my loyal and strong hands and feet.

and… Since I learned love from Maria, I am no longer a bloodless, tearless demon. This means that Oskar, a cold-blooded Korean homicidal maniac who was so cold-blooded and murderous as to kill Aru, who lived with him and had all his affection for him, is no more.

what? What’s different about the meta?

Of course it’s different! Is catching a cow raised to eat the same thing as catching a pet wolf like Aru!?

Oh, of course.

“… … What is this?”

If that bastard hits me, I might cross the Nether Road if I were to squirm.

So, I don’t plan on giving any space.

Sharak-.

“Ta-da~.”

I took out a card between my index and middle fingers. For some reason, it seems like this is the only card I use these days.

Well, just use what you need right away.

Anyway, after using it a few times, it is something you can no longer use.

This is the third time.

Kwakwakwakwakwa-!

Using the joker card.

*****

surprise attack.

A traditional military strategy that has been used very, very, very often for a very, very, very long time throughout the history of human civilization.

Roughly speaking, it is a sneak attack when the opponent is off guard, with the feeling of being caught in the eye, and this surprise attack is often used outside of war.

For example, an assassin. Or a duel or something.

There were countless tactics to pretend to surrender, catch the opponent off guard, and then attack them in an instant.

The reason why this strategy of surprise attack has shined in all cultures for so long is its effectiveness.

If the opponent is caught off guard when he or she is not prepared, a situation arises where the attacked side is unable to take action, let alone counterattack, even if the attacking side is fully prepared to counterattack.

Three games as is.

It was still like that now.

“big… Huh… !”

The meta is definitely strong.

There are probably only a handful of beings as strong as this guy on the current continent.

Maybe, even the other main Metatron might be a bit inferior compared to the meta.

It feels really strange to be like this. The name given to him was Meta to follow Metatron, but this guy has grown up and become like this before we know it.

But that’s natural.

Think about it. They are gods who have been sucking up godhood from countless humans for countless years. And the meta used goblins to focus on modern believers, and as if the heavens were crying, proper war groups and tactics, and high-ranking goblins such as goblin shamans and night goblins began to be mass produced, making the goblin race only a ‘part’ of humans. I couldn’t stop it.

Well, I don’t know if it was a military state or an empire.

Anyway, the meta ate up their power. The power of all the gods who lived in one dimension, called the God Realm of the Five Realms.

It’s like absorbing both angels and demons. So it can be compared to Metatron.

It’s also the reason why I’m eating the meta right now.

“I won’t say I’m sorry, Meta.”

“… … !”

“Isn’t this what the wild is like? I don’t say sorry to the animals I kill and eat every day. If they hear it, they will cry tears of blood telling them not to console themselves with bullshit. You too?”

“Oh, Su, Kanim… … !”

“ Hey, even after being in this situation, do you still keep saying the word ‘him’? that’s interesting. Is this tamed brainwashing?”

Goblin God.

Meta.

Just what I owe him.

“Well, you probably thought of me as a complete ally.”

“Keu, ugh… !”

“… … It would be hard to call it wild. Even in the wild, unless they are in material shortage, they do not eat their fellow humans.”

But I’m a cheater.

We have to catch Kanos.

To do that.

Even if I wash my hands with the blood of sin.

I wouldn’t mind.

Kwaduk-!

I strengthened my forearms and clenched my fists as endless power surged like a tidal wave. This is the power of Chaos Mode, manifested by using the Joker card.

In addition, Metatron’s power was added. My power now is unrivaled.

Of course, just because it’s meta doesn’t mean you can surpass me. I was struck by a blow and lost control of a significant part of my body.

However, it is just extremely cumbersome. Because the rampaging power of God must be subdued in order to devour souls.

Even if the heart is destroyed, a meta is still a meta. The enormous repulsive force emanating from his entire body exploded like a bomb. Just to shake me off.

It is a huge explosion, like facing a volcano. For the first time in a while, I used all my powers and made the surrounding air my sphere of influence.

—–!

There was a silent collision. In some ways, no, just looking at it objectively, it was a much more dangerous, terrible, and gigantic collision than just sparks and rumblings.

At least they were within common sense. Now this is a collision between God and God. In other words, the world is fighting against the world.

One spark can lead to terrible effects.

I don’t want that. I don’t want to get hurt.

Today I’m going to play Kanos.

After devouring everyone except Meta.

Absolutely perfect.

The only way to survive is to stay on top of everything.

“Why… … why… … ?”

Meta asks me.

The goblin’s head is tilted about 45 degrees. I stood behind him and closely observed the profile of his face as I could see from my view.

Meta looked genuinely puzzled. I have nothing to hide, and I’m not so thin or sensitive that I can’t be proud of myself. I spoke confidently.

“There is something I must accomplish. But to do that, I have to kill you.”

“… … ! I followed you, trusting only in you… … !”

“Yes, I know. Because I induced it.”

“You! I told you to do it! From the demon forest to killing the gods! And that’s how I got to this point!”

“Why are you calling such a thing again and again? Between us. You know it all.”

“… … !?!?!?”

Kugugoogung-.

A dangerous noise is heard.

I suppressed Meta’s intangible power as quickly as possible and moved my right arm, which had somehow pierced Meta’s chest, up and down.

It wasn’t easy. The pressure of Taishan and the water pressure blocked my hands.

But if you are a monster, then I am a monster too.

Little by little, my ravenous grip began to tear away the meta’s internal organs. To be precise, it was torn to shreds and exploded in a cruel manner.

Although that didn’t stop Meta from breathing easily.

“What are you hoping for? … !”

“Canos.”

“… … ?”

“I will attack Demon King Kanos. I ate you, and I even ate the Lord who gave me.”

For the first time, I’m saying all my intentions out loud.

Until now, I was afraid of the proverb that birds hear words during the day and ears hear words at night, so even though I could talk about all kinds of things, I couldn’t say this one.

“I will become an imperfect main deity and bite Kanos, an imperfect main deity just like me.”

Now I say it out loud.

I don’t know. I feel a little like that. A third-rate villain who announces his plans at the last minute.

Usually things don’t end well for such villains, but that’s how it feels. I think I should give it to you like this. There is a certain sense of relief.

The meta’s tremors are gradually subsiding. I don’t know if it was anger or betrayal, but my green skin, which had been shaking mercilessly, gradually became stable.

And tears fell.

The tears were like dew.

“What, are you crying?”

“Kuhm… … .”

“Why is the boy suddenly acting so upset… … Oh. Did you remove the pepper?”

“I never imagined that I would have a plan like that. It’s truly an incredible scale. Yes and now.”

“Well, anyway.”

I spoke to the guy who was crying so strangely and reassuringly.

“Be my final sin.”

“… … !”

“You will be my last sin.”

To Jehovah, the giver who faces the future of dethronement, I am only repaying a debt I owed a long time ago.

“… Haha.”

Meta laughed.

In general, laughter is benevolent.

That was the case in this case as well.

“Actually, I had some doubts about that. Those gods have been completely merged, so what should we do now?”

“Really?”

Even at that moment, I was killing the meta.

“All my actions were as Oscar had pointed out. That day, from the moment I held Oscar’s hand and decided to escape the limits of goblins.”

“Is that what you were curious about, what else would I make you do?”

“Yes.”

The goblin completely turned his head.

Meta cried and laughed.

It was tears of relief and laughter of joy.

“I am happy that I can be your stepping stone until the end.”

“I feel sad that I can never be your stepping stone again.”

“But I am relieved that you no longer need me.”

widely-.

All the mesmerizing and magical energy that was emanating from Meta’s body, which was opposing me, disappeared at once.

Meta reaped this on his own.

I took out Meta’s soul without expressing any emotions.

The light faded from the green eyes.

I muttered quietly. With a faint, solid smile.

“Thank you, always.”
