Chapter 261

R‍ea‍d ‌o‍n​ ​K‌a‍t‌​Re​adin‍g​C‌​a‌f‍e‍

I almost had a big problem.

I looked at the place where the illusion had been and let out a small sigh of relief.

The illusion that mimicked my appearance was nowhere to be seen, and something like ink was swirling around. The sticky and viscous substance was like tar distilled from petroleum. It looked dangerous at first glance, and it was indeed very dangerous.

It was a physical embodiment of ‘mental corruption’ that destroys the human mind. It was extremely poisonous. It was literally a poison that kills the mind.

Even I couldn’t guarantee my safety if I was covered in mental corruption in the mental world.

Super Regeneration regenerates the body but not the mind. No matter how weakened Belial was, the name value of a devil god doesn’t disappear.

If I had been swallowed whole, my ego might have collapsed in the worst case scenario.

‘I’m glad I prepared in advance.’

Even a rat bites a cat when cornered.

What about a tiger that is being strangled to death by a leash?

Even though Belial is in this state now, she is a devil god.

The 72 devil gods who are at the pinnacle of monsters.

The descendants who continue the lineage of the ‘Ancient One’.

Their strength far surpassed the captains, who were the pinnacle of humanity. With the exception of someone like Yoo-seong, there was no one who could compete 1-on-1 with a devil god at this point in time.

Carelessness is only allowed for the strong. If a ferocious beast is determined to bite me, it was obvious what would happen if I approached it without fear just because it was tied to a leash.

So I prepared thoroughly in my own way. I used the singularity of the mental world to create an illusion and swap places with me.

Actually, I tried to create a clone instead of an illusion because I was afraid that it would be exposed as a fake. But it didn’t work, so I gave up.

Well, just because people have lucid dreams doesn’t mean they can really do everything, right? The mental world wasn’t much different.

I didn’t know what Belial had prepared, but I could tell where she had prepared it long ago. It would be stranger if I didn’t know since she kept glancing at the same spot.

It was so obvious that I wondered if this was also a trap. I wondered several times if it was a tactic to induce misjudgment that there was a trap there.

But seeing Belial’s genuinely flustered reaction, it seemed like it was really a mistake. That meant she was cornered that much. That was good news for me.

Belial doesn’t want to admit it, but she was already half-eaten by Lucille’s body.

The intense physical pleasure paralyzed Belial’s reason, and the accompanying mental pleasure even indulged her soul. This would not be possible under normal circumstances.

Because the class of humans and the class of devil gods were incomparable. Originally, human desires should have been absorbed and disappeared.

But Lucille is not an ordinary human.

The Blessed Saintess chosen by the gods of the four seasons.

Although she had lost most of her blessings and even her soul had been worn away and disappeared, the instincts engraved by hundreds of millions of regressions did not disappear.

Belial’s mind has been broken for a long time by the bone-chilling pleasure. Just like when I first became Lucia.

Nevertheless, the reason she has endured until now was thanks to her pride as a devil god.

Yeah, I think that’s amazing. I glossed over it by self-rationalization, but Belial, on the other hand, was facing reality and resisting.

In the novel, she was a person who didn’t let go of her pride as a devil god until the very end.

She was a proud warrior who acknowledged her defeat and even left a small blessing for the future of the humans who defeated her.

That’s why I felt a little sorry.

That I had to trample on that pride from now on.

‘I’m Frey… I’m Frey… I’m Frey… Frey likes to torment Lucia the most in the world… Belial is Lucia… Since she’s in Lucia’s body, she’s Lucia… Yeah, good. I can do it. Let’s mess her up! Let’s torment her lots!’

I hypnotize myself.

What did it feel like when Frey pulled out my teeth and strangled me?

It was a vague imagination, but that was enough.

Lucille was broken countless times out of hundreds of millions of regressions.

The masochist who floundered in the desire for destruction was just the final destination, and there were countless Lucilles in the process.

There was also a Lucille who felt pleasure in crushing others like Frey. Recalling the memories of that time, I slowly reached out my hand.

“Seriously, a tenant trying to kick out the landlord~”

My fingertips touch Belial’s head.

She trembled to an exaggerated extent.

I leisurely stroked my fingers down.

Down her nape, down her spine.

“I can’t just let it go because you’re so wicked~”

The hand that had been going straight down her back stopped at her buttocks. The plump buttocks filled the palm of my hand. I unconsciously grabbed it hard. My butt is really big. It’s plump and full of elasticity. It’s Lucia’s pride. It’s truly specialized for childbirth… Well, Lucia won’t get pregnant!

Having a child who would disappear if I regress. I don’t want that pain anymore. Missing a child who doesn’t even exist is really… No, now that the regression is over, it doesn’t matter. Still, I hate it anyway. Lucia was a man. His body has become a woman’s, but his gender identity is still a man!

I shook my head violently to clear away unnecessary thoughts.

Now is the time to concentrate on messing up, defiling, trampling, and crushing Belial’s pride.

“If you’ve done something wrong, you have to be punished, right~?”

“…”

No answer comes back.

I didn’t care and patted Belial’s butt.

At first, lightly, like a massage.

Like tapping before giving an injection.

Smack!

“Hiek?!”

The flesh that filled her buttocks shook.

The chains clashed and made a loud noise.

It was because Belial twisted her waist unsightly.

Golden hair fluttered and revealed her white nape.

Her nape was glistening with sweat from just one spanking.

“I’m going to give you a lot of punishment from now on, so tell me if you have anything to say against it. I’ll listen to everything.”

I said as if doing a favor. Well, Belial’s words were obvious. Like last time, she wouldn’t surrender, it was a waste of time, and she would be putting on a lot of airs with her pride. It didn’t matter what she said. I would rather she resisted even more. If she put her pride to the maximum, I could definitely break Belial’s ego by breaking it.

I’ll melt you with pleasure.

Body, soul, and even pride.

So you can never get it back.

“…”

…I’m so much like a villain.

It’s completely the idea of a villain who rapes the heroine.

Th-the heroine is me!

Lucia didn’t do anything wrong.

Rather, I’m the victim.

Belial is the perpetrator who tried to steal my body.

In other words, a criminal!

I’m just taking legitimate revenge!

No, if I don’t destroy Belial here, I might have my body stolen again later. It’s not just a simple revenge, but a legitimate punishment. Yeah, Belial is just paying for her sins. Now is the time to abandon my conscience. I illegally dumped my inner conscience. Don’t pick it up. I threw it away on purpose!

“Punishment…”

While I was floundering with absurd thoughts, Belial opened her tightly closed mouth.

“Are you going to take off my clothes again and hit my butt? To humiliate me?”

Her voice was more calm than I expected.

I can’t see her face because she’s looking down.

Only her trembling shoulders expressed her emotions.

“I know what you’re aiming for. You’re really cruel enough to be scary.”

I can’t deny it, but… You shouldn’t be saying that when you tried to steal my body. If there wasn’t a special reason called ‘Lucille’, our positions would have been reversed, right? My soul and ego would have melted away and no longer existed.

Lucia decided to be cruel.

Do you see what’s rolling around over there? What is it, you ask? It’s Lucia’s conscience.

Hehe, Lucia without a conscience is invincible.

I’ll mess you up and play with you!

“I’ve used all the means I can. I’ve exhausted all my remaining strength. All that’s left for me now is a miserable future. It’s really fleeting. Everything…”

“Belial?”

Something was going on.

I desperately called her name because of an unknown sense of crisis.

As if responding to that, Belial slowly raised her head.

“I am Belial, a devil god of the 72 devil gods who continue the lineage of the ‘Ancient One’. The 68th in rank.”

A hot heat swirled in her pink eyes, the same as mine.

“Rather than suffer such humiliation… rather than being addicted to that pleasure and losing myself…”

The chains began to shake.

The seal that bound her screamed.

The heat that was burning the mental world intensifies even further.

“While I’m still Belial… while I’m a devil god who hasn’t lost her pride…”

“Belial, don’t tell me you’re…”

“Hmph, as if I’d become a bitch who has succumbed to pleasure!”

I wanted her to resist with her pride, but I didn’t want her to resist this much!

Because we share the same body, I could tell right away.

Belial was thinking of dying. She was going to self-destruct. Her soul was already broken.

She was planning to ignite her shattered soul and self-destruct. Just like Michael and Alice who fought against Baal in the old days.

The difference was that, unlike them, who tried to gain power with their souls as fuel, Belial was just planning to explode.

If Belial commits suicide, the aftermath will affect me as well. Of course, right?

We share the same body, and above all, if an existence of the devil god self-destructs, my soul and body will be torn to pieces. I won’t die because I have Super Regeneration, but I can’t guarantee how long it will take to recover. Maybe I’ll be a corpse for a few years, just like Lucille was dead for 4 years.

That’s a problem!

The war with the monsters will end in 2 years even if it takes a long time.

If I die, I won’t be able to do anything during that time!

“Too bad. You’re going with me. It’ll be boring to leave alone!”

Belial shouted energetically, even though she was sweating profusely and seemed to be struggling. I felt a hot pulse. The mental world shook as if there was an earthquake. Belial’s mouth tore open. She saw my flustered expression and smiled as if she was really happy to have given me a blow.

It was me who became impatient at that. Belial had really made up her mind. She intended to die together with a human here.

Ueee, did I tease her too much? I didn’t know that Belial would do this. If it was a death she wanted, it would have been reached after a fierce battle… No, what’s the point of worrying about that now? Whatever the case, I had to stop Belial right away.

“Jin… I hope I can see you again…”

Don’t say such heroine-like things!

Are you mistaken that you’ve become the heroine because you’ve entered Lucia’s body?

More than that, are you talking about the former 7th Division Captain when you say Jin?

What are you talking about when you killed him?!

“Wh, what do I do…?!”

There was no way to stop Belial’s self-destruction.

The seal suppresses Belial from running rampant, but it didn’t have the function of preventing self-destruction.

It’s not like I have the means to interfere with Belial and block her self-destruction.

It was a perfect checkmate. I thought I had the upper hand, but the position was reversed in an instant. At this rate, all I can do is get caught up in Belial’s self-destruction… Huh? Wait a minute? Why can’t I do anything?

I looked down at Belial, who was soaked in sweat.

Her face, which was flushed crimson, looked like a peach blossom.

I was momentarily flustered by the extreme method of mutual destruction and lost my judgment.

But when I thought about it, her position was still the same.

Belial was tied up, and had no means to resist.

That’s why she chose to die herself, right?

“Heave!”

“Eek?!”

The clear sound of a slap resounded.

I slapped Belial’s butt with all my might.

The jiggling of her plump butt couldn’t be hidden even by her clothes.

“Self-destruct? Do it if you can.”

Because I won’t give you any time to concentrate.

Lucia’s body, you know, is very sensitive to external stimuli.

Do you think you’ll have the time to think about anything else while receiving tingling stimuli?

“Just spanking your butt is too boring, right?”

Spanking won’t be enough. Don’t worry. I know a lot of ways to make you happy. I don’t have to go far. I recalled the words I had repeated as if hypnotizing myself. I’m Frey. Yeah, I’m Frey. I’ll give you exactly what Frey gave me.

“Do you know? When all your teeth are pulled out, a lot of blood clots in your mouth. So it’s hard to breathe, right? It’s even better if you get strangled in that state.”

“Ah, aaa…”

Did she understand the situation?

The peach blossom withers in an instant.

Belial’s complexion turned white.

Deep fear formed in her pink eyes.

And there was an undisguised expectation in that fear.

She bit her teeth tightly as if denying it, but nothing changed.

No matter how much you deny it.

You’re the same as me now.

I’m sorry.

You picked the wrong body to come into.

If you’re going to resent anyone, resent Astaroth, who provided me as a new vessel.

“Now, Belial.”

The futile resistance ends here.

I’ll make you a fool.

Like me.

Lucia has decided to become a villain.

A truly terrifying one!

Probably would have worked out better if you didn’t let out the intent.

Then again, rot more~
