I Became a National ‘Disaster’ Level Monster

Chapter 127 Demon and God

It was said that in ancient Earth, there existed an original being, the precursor of the monsters that now appear through the gates, who was called a demon.

They were defeated by the transcendent beings known as gods and were imprisoned in another dimension. As time passed, the seal weakened, and these beings began to reappear, starting from the period before Christ, which is the origin of today’s monsters.

To be precise, they were merely the byproducts of demons that the barrier deemed not even worth stopping.

And now, she wanted to summon such a demon…

“Are you out of your mind?! Jin-ah Lee.”

“Don’t worry. I’m perfectly sane.”

Was this woman intending to destroy the world itself?

Unable to just stand by and watch, Joan of Arc immediately tried to approach Jin-ah Lee to stop her.

But then, a knight of the Round Table blocked the saint’s path.

“Lancelot… According to the legends, are you really going to participate in such a plan, a knight of the Holy Sword?”

“There’s no other way right now. After all, with just all of us, we can’t capture the Shin-woo of the future.”

“But even so! Even if that’s the case, summoning a demon into this world again! It means the world will be destroyed in the end anyway!”

“That statement is half correct and half wrong, Joan of Arc.”

Right at that moment.

Jin-ah Lee, who had been silently listening, continued speaking while carving a magic circle with her blood on a coffin she had pulled out from the shadows.

“I will summon a demon. However, I will simultaneously make a contract with it.”

“A co…ntract?”

“Yes. Demons are bound by a restriction that they can only stay in this world through a contract with a human. This time, I intend to ask the demon I will resurrect to send that thing to their sacred place—hell.”

“…! Indeed, if that’s the case…”

Even if a demon descended, it wouldn’t harm this world.

Rather, with both massive evils gone, Earth would once again face peace.

“Wait, wait! Director!”

“Sophia…?”

“Then what about Shin-woo? What happens to both the current Shin-woo and the future Shin-woo?”

“Well, they’ll both…”

Be trapped in hell.

In the worst case, the person with them would also fall into hell.

Realizing this, Sophia tried to stop Jin-ah Lee’s contract.

However.

*Clasp.*

“Ugh?! L-Let me go!”

“Sorry, but it’s the contractor’s command.”

“N-No!”

Yoo Pho Bong-sun effortlessly restrained Sophia from behind.

Despite Sophia’s shouting and screaming.

“Evil with evil. Annihilation with annihilation. And the great being that should not intervene in causality…”

The ritual had already begun.

And then, a moment later.

“Reveal yourself in this place.”

Finally, the lid of the coffin in front of Jin-ah Lee opened, and a gigantic, grotesque form, far too large to fit inside, began to emerge into the world.

“……”

It was white, like alabaster, and lacked eyes, ears, a nose, a mouth, or any of the parts a human naturally has—a smooth, polished something.

However, just by looking at it, the aura it emitted made any human shudder in an instant, covering the entire Earth.

“What is that?!”

“A m-monster…?”

“…A demon.”

Upon seeing the demon summoned from hell, both Shin-woos and his son paused their fight.

Meanwhile, Jin-ah Lee, facing the demon, made the following contract.

“I will give you half of the lifespan of all humanity on Earth, so please capture them and kill them in hell.”

“……”

The white giant simply nodded as if accepting the contract.

Then.

*Clasp.*

“Ugh?!”

“W-What the?!”

“S-Shin-woo!”

“Jin-ahhhhh!”

Rolling, who had been flying in armed from the direction of the collapsed Hunter Association building to break the contract, arrived too late.

But it was too late. The giant, whose face looked anything but human, had already opened its mouth wide and swallowed all three of them whole.

A moment later.

“What the… Where is this place…”

When past Shin-woo and Han Jae-won first emerged from the white giant’s mouth.

They were left speechless by the bizarre sight of a world where four moons and two suns hung in the sky, where day and night coexisted, and where clouds floated on the ground while plants grew upside down in the sky.

*

*Smack!*

“Jin-ah Lee! Are you insane?!”

Meanwhile, back in the original world, Rolling, who had just lost her two sons and grandson, was furious.

She couldn’t believe her old friend had sent her healthy son and grandson to hell without any consultation.

Naturally, there was no one around to stop her.

“How could you… How could you do this?”

“It was for the greater good. Anyway, even if we had left it alone, neither the current Shin-woo nor Jae-won had any way to defeat that thing.”

“Then at the very least, you should have sent me as bait! I could have at least captured my future son!”

“Sure, that could have been an option. But we weren’t in a situation where we could afford such a gamble.”

If Rolling had failed to capture future Shin-woo, and the demon hadn’t taken him to hell, the battlefield would have shifted from hell to Earth.

Jin-ah Lee couldn’t take that gamble.

However, she knew that she was in the wrong from a parental perspective, so she just stood there, silently enduring Rolling’s slaps.

At that moment.

“Oh no, Shin-woo!”

“Honey? Did something happen to Shin-woo?”

“D-Dad!”

“Honey!”

A man came running toward them, carrying two women on his back.

It was none other than Lee Seok-gyu, the current Chief of Staff of the Korean Army.

“Why is everyone crying? More importantly, what happened here?”

“Honey! Something terrible happened! Shin-woo fell into hell with his son!”

“W-What?! Shin-woo? Wait, before that, Shin-woo has a son?”

“Dad, what do we do! Jae-won! My son! Fell into hell! Because of that woman!”

“…???”

Lee Seok-gyu couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation, failing to understand the conversation between his daughter and wife.

He didn’t know anything about the future Shin-woo, the reason for the collapse of the Hunter Association, or the overall situation.

Because Yoo Che-ran, who was supposed to explain, was asleep on his back.

Then.

“Grandpa…”

“Grandpa?”

“Y-Yes, Shin-ah. What’s wrong?”

Barely conscious, Shin-ah, who had been on her grandfather’s back along with Yoo Che-ran, pointed her finger forward.

“Over there…”

“Over there?”

“Yes… Over there…”

“…? Is there something over there?”

“Dad… Mom… Dad is…”

*Crackle.*

“?!”

“He’s trying… to come back…”

“T-The space!”

“The dimension is tearing apart!”

“This is… unbelievable…!”

The being they had sent to another world was now trying to tear through dimensions and set foot here again.

***

The moment was just before Lee Seok-gyu had reached his daughter and wife.

The party who had just fallen into hell momentarily stopped their battle to observe their surroundings.

“…It’s coming.”

“What do you mean, coming…?!”

“My, my body!”

Future Shin-woo lifted his head as if he had anticipated it.

Meanwhile, Jae-won, who had tilted his head in confusion, suddenly began to tremble as his transformed body collapsed to the ground, as if he couldn’t withstand the pressure.

Even current Han Shin-woo was forced to one knee under the overwhelming pressure, albeit for just a moment.

Future Shin-woo, simply observing the two from behind, was met by a bizarre creature with two pairs of wings, one white and one black, extending from either side of its head.

“……”

“W-What is that…?”

“Those who ruled the Earth before humans were born. Among them, the demons who dared to challenge the gods despite their limits…”

“Lucifer.”

“L-Lucifer? The one from the Bible?”

“Yes, the demon that frequently appears as a motif in games. That’s the real one.”

The name Lucifer was not unfamiliar.

In East Asia, where subculture was developed, it wasn’t a strange name at all in the 21st century.

A fallen angel.

A demon known as the symbol of corruption, often used among game or anime enthusiasts.

But its true nature was that of a monster.

Comparable to my currently transformed state…

No, perhaps even greater?

Even as I tried to stand, my legs wouldn’t budge.

Even with my stance firm in karate, my body still felt heavy.

It was as if the monsterized cells in my body were stopping me from fighting, saying this wasn’t the time.

Fortunately, the demon had only briefly glanced at me before looking away.

As if to say that I wasn’t its prey, the demon was solely focused on one place.

“Jin-ah Lee… In the future, I thought you were simply dead, believing that was your limit. I didn’t expect you were hiding something like this.”

Staring at future me, the demon of betrayal raised both hands, and from each, began to create a galaxy that seemed to mix all the light and darkness in the world.

Soon, countless weapons emerged from the galaxy, filling the entire sky of hell.

*Swoosh.*

I could instinctively feel the power of each of these weapons

, which could easily outmatch any human artifact, and I realized that even in my monsterized form, it would be impossible to withstand them.

“Die.”

The demon’s attack, which seemed powerful enough to pierce the blue planet several times over, rained down like a storm.

“Die…?”

Instead, future me assumed a direct punch stance.

Then.

“Finally, I’ve found a way to achieve ‘happiness.'”

“……”

“Insects that can’t even dare to call themselves gods shouldn’t get so arrogant.”

In the ‘phenomenon’ that followed, I couldn’t help but realize the reason why the demon, even after fully unleashing its power, couldn’t kill me outright and only ambiguously threw me all the way to Beijing, China.

*Boom!*

“?!?!?!”

“What…”

Its power was enormous.

As if it truly were a god.

Because the place we stood wasn’t Earth, but another world, the demon could finally swing its fists freely.

As a result, the upper and lower halves of Lucifer were blown apart, along with all the broken weapons, and they were all falling to the ground.

Beyond Lucifer’s body, where one of the moons or suns in the sky of hell had been shattered and split in half.

“Demons shouldn’t stand before a god.”
