Chapter 332:
The video showed Demiarios looking down at Georen, who had fallen into corruption.
Demiarios, who was leaning back in the midst of the raging blizzard, gave off a strange vibe.
The video continued.
Demiarios visited Georen several times to check on his condition, and he also sabotaged the Tellers who came to the exile site, preventing them from reaching this place.
All of these scenes were conveyed to everyone through Georen’s eyes.
“Huh.”
“Oh my god.”
What happened in Glacalis was a huge shock, like a tidal wave, to all the Tellers gathered here.
Georen, who was originally a Divine Spirit, had been corrupted by something and fallen into the lower realm, becoming a monster that destroyed the world.
People were desperately surviving in there, but they were slowly heading towards ruin.
Demiarios had used that place as an exile site to eliminate his enemies until now.
Most of the Tellers were shocked by this shocking truth.
“Demiarios, you crazy bastard!”
Celestina, who had a fiery temper, glared at Demiarios as if she wanted to kill him.
What Demiarios did now was not just manipulating the history.
He had ruined a whole world as a Teller.
This was something that even the Exodus guys wouldn’t do.
What made Demiarios’s actions even more infuriating was that he had touched a Divine Spirit.
“If this truth is revealed…”
“The Divine Spirits might boycott our headquarters. We can’t let this be known.”
“But we can’t hide this forever. The rumor must have spread already.”
The executive-level Tellers had a serious conversation among themselves.
What Demiarios did now was an unprecedented incident.
If this went on, it might collapse the Celestial Corporation, such a situation.
It was bad enough that a Teller from the Celestial Corporation had deceived a Divine Spirit, but he had also destroyed its existence and molded a world to his liking. That was how serious it was.
“We have to kill Demiarios right away!”
“This is unacceptable! Isn’t the evidence clear and firm?”
Should they reveal or conceal this incident?
It was a hard choice.
They couldn’t simply hide it because there were too many Divine Spirits who had witnessed the death of Georen.
If they hid it and it came out later, the headquarters would only give the impression of being wicked to the Divine Spirits.
But it was too big of a deal to confess honestly.
It wasn’t just a problem that the Divine Spirits would blame them. Exodus and Comedy Troupe.
The other two groups that divided the mixed realm wouldn’t stay still.
They would try to tear them apart and bring them down.
The only thing that was certain was that Demiarios’s life or death was unanimously decided.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lotfiout.
He had all the authority to make decisions, so they waited for his words.
“This is something.”
Lotfiout swallowed the laughter that was about to burst out from his eyes full of expectations.
They usually respected him on the surface, but they always looked for opportunities to take over this position under their eyes.
Now that the incident was out of his hands, they wanted to rely on his authority.
They were all capable, but they lacked guts.
“Be quiet, all of you.”
Lotfiout’s words silenced the executives who had been chattering until then.
Even if they wanted to argue, anyone would lose their thoughts when they saw Lotfiout’s momentum.
Lotfiout pretended to be relaxed on the outside, but he felt a slight anger inside.
Demiarios.
That chick-like guy who was only a director had almost shaken the foundation of the headquarters that he had achieved and built up.
He wanted to wring him out and kill him several times just by thinking of his insolence.
But Lotfiout didn’t act on his emotions.
His sharp eyes turned to Yu-hyun.
“Speak.”
From before, that man had been smiling as if he had nothing to do with this incident.
While everyone was falling into despair and panic, Yu-hyun stood still.
Like a sturdy island that didn’t budge even in the rough sea storming around him.
“You still have a lot to say, so listen to me until the end.”
That meant he still had more cards to reveal.
Lotfiout guessed Yu-hyun’s intention and asked him directly.
Yu-hyun nodded his head as if he didn’t know what to do with your honorable grace as chairman.
“Yes. As you said, sir. This incident is not over yet.”
“Not over?”
“What do you mean by that?”
Everyone’s eyes turned back to Yu-hyun.
They were surprised enough by revealing Demiarios’s crime, but it wasn’t all?
“Do you all think Demiarios did this alone?”
“Well…”
“The evidence is so clear.”
They asked what else there was.
Yu-hyun shook his head.
“There was a similar incident before. The chief of the history department, Shamat, who did it with Great Sage Army Paradise. Now that chief Shamat has escaped from the trash can and his traces have not been found, who do you think helped him escape?”
“That…”
“And I’ll ask you more. Georen was a Divine Spirit, even though he had taken half of his power. But do you think a director-level Teller can dare to manipulate such a being to his taste? Can a director-level Teller corrupt a Divine Spirit like that?”
“…”
Everyone was speechless.
They had overlooked the most basic thing to judge because they were confused by the storm that Demiarios brought.
Everyone regained their sanity.
Yes, Demiarios had done something unthinkable, but there was no way he could have done it alone.
Someone had to be his accomplice.
But who? If Demiarios had an accomplice, they had to be at least a director-level Teller. But did he have any close friends among the Tellers who would do such a thing?
“You all seem to be looking for the culprit among the other directors.”
Yu-hyun could read their thoughts clearly.
They were supposed to be rational, but they showed such blatant emotions that it proved how serious this incident was.
So Yu-hyun decided to give them the answer.
“You can look higher up, you know.”
“Higher up?”
“No way…!”
Some of the director-level Tellers looked at the executives.
The director-level Tellers in the central office.
One of them was a traitor who had joined hands with Demiarios.
The Tellers were convinced by Yu-hyun’s words rather than questioning them.
Yes, they had thought it was strange.
The matter related to the exile site was too much for a director-level Teller to handle on their own.
But if an executive-level Teller was involved, it would be a different story.
A high possibility.
No, it was the only explanation that made sense.
“What!”
“How dare you say that!”
Some of the executives glared at Yu-hyun with anger in their eyes.
They were proud of their positions.
Even if Yu-hyun was breaking all the records of Celestial Corporation, they wouldn’t let him look at them like that.
“Not all of you did it, of course. I’m just saying that one of you… is the real culprit behind this.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“I’m going to find out right now.”
Yu-hyun implied that he already knew the truth.
Demiarios, who had been listening quietly, felt instinctively that he couldn’t let this go on.
He was already cornered. He couldn’t escape no matter what he did.
Then he had to end this on his own terms.
Sssssss.
A chilling black energy flowed from Demiarios’s body.
It corroded the ring of light in an instant and shattered it.
“Huh?”
“Th-that bastard!”
Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events.
Demiarios had broken free from the restraint that required a lot of power.
Demiarios had been hiding his strength. Before they could recover from their surprise, Demiarios moved.
‘I can’t run away from here anyway.’
Demiarios knew his level well.
No matter how strong he was, he didn’t think he could escape from this place where director-level Tellers and executives were gathered.
Even if he got out of the court, he would be caught in no time by the internal inspection office and the external guard office.
Demiarios gave up on running away. His goal was not to escape anyway.
‘I’ll die here with him.’
He unleashed all the power he had hidden until now.
Demiarios’s eerie gaze fixed on Yu-hyun. This stupid guy didn’t expect him to
suddenly attack like this.
Yes, he admitted it. Kang Yu-hyun was amazing.
He was a Teller with talent and potential that far surpassed his own.
But he was too arrogant.
He was confident that he had won and let his guard down.
That moment, which would take less than 0.1 seconds in time, was his only chance.
Demiarios’s right hand stretched out and turned into a black spear that shot towards Yu-hyun.
And then.
Boom!
“…!”
Demiarios’s eyes widened. His ultimate strike was blocked by someone’s hand.
“Hey, you crossed the line.”
A Teller with red hair and a human appearance that he had always despised.
She was the one who had been ignored by everyone because she had the shortest tenure as a director among them. She smiled at him.
“You break free from your arrest and try to kill a witness? And in front of everyone? You’re admitting that you did something wrong, right?”
“Cel…estina!”
“Oh, thanks for calling my name.”
Whooosh.
Red flames began to swirl around Celestina’s body.
They were similar to her hair color, but they gave off a sense of holiness rather than destruction.
Some of the Tellers remembered why Celestina had become a director.
Some of them said that if she hadn’t chosen to go to the fire department herself, Celestina would have gone to the inspection office or the guard office.
The reason was right in front of them.
Screech!
“Kuuhhuk!”
Demiarios’s right arm burned in the fire.
He tried to resist by sending out black energy like darkness, but Celestina’s holy flame burned it along with him.
Celestina was different from the other Tellers.
She was a being who had received ‘power’ from the contractor she had been in charge of.
The one she had shown fire to was a hero of a world.
“I can’t just sit still when you move like that in front of everyone, right? You octopus head.”
She had that power, and she was the strongest among all the director-level Tellers in terms of combat power.
Celestina clenched her fist and slammed it into Demiarios’s face.
Thwack!
A fist engulfed in red flames smashed into Demiarios’s face. Before Demiarios could even scream, Celestina’s fist left a trail of afterimages as it hit his mouth.
His tentacles were torn off, and Demiarios bled green blood.
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this since a long time ago.”
Celestina smiled, baring her teeth, as she looked at him.
The other tellers of the same rank shivered with fear at her ferocious grin, and Yu-hyun stepped forward.
“Director Celestina. He is the most needed culprit in this situation. You can’t kill him recklessly.”
“I know. Do you think I’m stupid? I controlled my strength. And you, you know you almost died just now, right?”
“I believed that Director Celestina would save me.”
“You sure know how to talk.”
Celestina let go of the limp Demiarios.
He collapsed on the spot, and soon a ring of fire bound his body.
Unlike before, this was Celestina’s special restraint that he could never escape from.
Everyone was at a loss for words at the violent scene that unfolded in the courtroom, when Yu-hyun spoke as if nothing had happened.
“Well. There was an unpleasant incident just now, but that means Demiarios admitted that he has an accomplice.”
“So, who is he?”
“You all must know him. He was the first to raise the issue of exile, he had the authority to issue or modify the headquarters’ official documents, and he was the one who could watch this situation from the highest place.”
Yu-hyun said that and activated the fragment of Georen in his hand again.
The first video that started showed Demiarios looking down at Georen.
But what he showed this time was something that happened much earlier.
The video that Yu-hyun deliberately didn’t show, containing the real culprit.
“Isn’t that right? Director Hata.”
A kind-looking turtle-shaped teller, Director Hata, was talking to Georen in front of everyone.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at Hata with disbelief.
Hata did not deny his guilt as he saw that.
The old turtle nodded his head with a calm face that showed no agitation.
“Well, I got caught.”
As soon as he said that.
Bang!
Director Hata threw a punch at Lotfiout next to him.
It was a super-fast blow that no one expected.
Who would have imagined that such an old teller could move like that?
And who knew that his power was far beyond expectation?
Boom!
Lotfiout’s head exploded from Hata’s punch.
