Blood Demon of the Past Life – Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Conclusion （2）

Behind Sebastian.

There was a giant screen.

The situation was broadcast in real-time so that even the people at the very back could see Sebastian up close.

Sebastian shouted.

“When the Sun God Church was first established, people pointed fingers at us and called us heretics. Not many people believed in what we preached, that our current lives are a preparation for the afterlife. But look at the situation now. Even President Eric Roberts, the star of America, whom they believe to be righteous, is actually a villain. This means that the end is near, and it is God’s providence to rebuke the ignorance of those who have lived foolishly, only looking at what is in front of them.”

A chaotic world.

Desperate hearts.

It was the perfect environment for a religion to be born.

The faith that had been built up layer by layer created infinite trust in the eyes of the people looking at Sebastian.

“Three S-rank Hunters died in San Diego. There is no reason to stay in this world anymore, and if struggling desperately only leads us to destruction, we must repent on our own and move towards Utopia. That place is heaven. A place where food is plentiful and monsters do not appear. The utopia we desire awaits us.”

“Ahh━!”

“Priest-nim, please lead us to Utopia.”

Swish.

He looked to one side.

A person, having received the signal, walked onto the stage.

“Believers, I would like to introduce Lee Han-seong, the first believer to accept this sacred ritual!”

“Waaaaah━!”

“Lee Han-seong! Lee Han-seong!”

“Lee Han-seong! Lee Han-seong!”

People cheered enthusiastically.

Lee Han-seong appeared before the people with a haggard face.

“As you know, believer Lee Han-seong was a great hero called White Knight in Korea. However, he made a big mistake in a moment of carelessness and came to the Sun God Church, saying he would repent. Our God accepted believer Lee Han-seong. He promised to lead him to Utopia if he showed his determination. Is that right, believer Lee Han-seong-nim?”

“……Yes, that’s right.”

After being defeated by Kang San.

He was destined to be imprisoned.

After barely escaping, Lee Han-seong headed straight for the Sun God Church.

The reason was only one.

Having lost the ideal life he desired, he longed for another chance, even if it meant giving up his current life. He could no longer endure his current life, with one arm lost and everyone looking at him with disgust. For him, the Sun God Church, which gave him an excuse to escape reality, was a very comfortable refuge.

He fell into religion.

Even someone once called the White Knight was swept away by the massive current of religion in an instant.

Even if it was a cult that he couldn’t understand normally.

Lee Han-seong shouted.

“God! Your servant will gladly follow you.”

He picked up a knife.

And then.

“For the Sun God Church!”

Stab.

“Keuk, Kuhuk!”

He stabbed himself in the heart.

Blood spurted out from the brutal act, and Lee Han-seong, his face contorted in extreme pain, fell to his knees. Silence fell over the place. No one screamed, nor did they look at the situation with disgust. They simply watched Lee Han-seong with hopeful eyes, as if the moment of the Rapture was truly coming.

Eventually.

He collapsed.

Sebastian said.

“Believer Lee Han-seong has just departed for Utopia. Let us all prove the same strong will. Just as believer Lee Han-seong showed us. Follow the one in heaven and let us all escape this miserable reality!”

The current situation.

It was broadcast in real-time to Sun God Churches around the world.

All of them.

And everyone here.

Picked up knives.

No one knows if Lee Han-seong really went to Utopia.

But seeing what he did, everyone, with eyes filled with madness, tried to stab themselves in the heart.

But that’s when it happened.

『Members of the Sun God Church, this is Kang San.』

The screen changed.

And there, Kang San appeared.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

The Rapture of the Sun God Church.

Kang San knew it was an unstoppable trend.

If he physically intervened, as history tells us, the oppressed religion would surely ride a strong current.

So he changed his approach.

To shake the foundation of their faith.

That was the reason why Kang San hacked into the Sun God Church’s server and revealed himself.

『From now on, I will reveal the truth that has not been revealed to you, and to the whole world. People think of innate talent as simply an inborn ability. It’s not a coincidence. It is an inevitability that will surely manifest, and behind it lies past lives.』

A truth known only to a few.

He revealed it.

The story he was about to tell had to be understood and accepted by understanding past lives.

『The being that judges this world is a god named ‘Azmoon’. That god has destroyed countless worlds so far, and the phenomenon of the souls who faced despair in those worlds connecting to the present life is what we call innate talent, or the Third Awakening. I understand that it may be difficult for people who haven’t experienced it to accept. But those who have will surely be aware of it. After gaining power through special methods such as innate talent, you will develop unfamiliar senses or memories that you haven’t experienced before. It’s a link to past lives, and ironically, it’s not just a positive signal.』

Of course, not all of them are bad.

Roman Bednar.

He, who was a mage in a laboratory in his past life, gave all his abilities to save the people of this life.

Thanks to him, the present world has achieved rapid magical growth, and past life memories like Yeon Woo-bin’s, which do not cause any particular problems, have actually helped this world. In the end, the problem was the few souls who accepted Azmoon’s offer. Those few ruined everything and drove this world to ruin.

He had to say it.

And as Kang San, he was the perfect person to say it.

『From now on, I will tell you my personal story. No, I will show you.』

Not Kang San.

Seo Mun-ho, the Blood Demon.

Now was the time to publicly reveal those cruel memories.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

The screen changed.

It was a fragment of memory.

Through magic, Kang San replayed the series of events he remembered as a video.

『You were the Blood Demon in your past life. That’s why your current life is unhappy. Therefore, from now on, you must endure trials to resolve the karma of your past life. Each time you solve a trial, the evil karma will be resolved little by little, and you will also be given appropriate rewards according to the difficulty of the trial.』

It was the moment he first met Luca Bellino.

Kang San saved Kim Chun-sik because of the trial and showed himself rejoicing at receiving the reward.

The screen changed.

The Wangsimni incident, the Kitakyushu incident, the Pohang incident, and so on, in order.

Kang San showed what he had done using his past life abilities.

The F-rank being became stronger in an instant, and from some point on, the memories of ‘Seo Mun-ho, the Blood Demon’ began to be revealed.

It was shocking.

The burning village.

The existence of Peng Mujeong, whom Eric Roberts mentioned.

People’s eyes were filled with confusion.

The people who were about to stab themselves in the heart with knives until just now were completely absorbed in the video playing in front of them.

‘This is dangerous.’

Sebastian knew instinctively.

He had to stop it.

He hurriedly shouted.

“Stop the video right now!”

“I-It won’t listen! Even though we cut the power, the video keeps playing!”

“Oh no!”

He turned his head sharply.

The believers were not looking at him.

He stepped forward with a microphone and shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Believers! What you see before your eyes now is the final trial that tests us. God always tests the faith of those who believe in and follow him, and evil spirits appear before us in various forms. Kang San is the evil spirit. The wicked evil spirit who prevents us from leaving for Utopia! Look at me. You must never be deceived.”

He gave the signal.

The people who were stirring up the believers raised their voices and stabbed themselves in the heart with knives.

“For the Sun God Church!”

“For the Sun God Church!”

Stab!

“Keuk.”

“Kuhuk.”

They collapsed all around.

The believers were startled and backed away from them, but the situation Sebastian wanted did not occur. They did not respond to the Rapture. By now, everyone should have taken their own lives, but they could not take their eyes off the story playing on the screen.

It was only natural.

The rapidly playing story was nearing its climax.

『Why? Are you trying to kill me?』

With the face of Eric Roberts.

It was the true form of Peng Mujeong.

Even Sebastian could only stare blankly at the screen at that moment.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

It was a series of shocks.

The truth about Kang San.

Luca Bellino.

The existence of the Revolution and Peng Mujeong.

Finally, the process of Eric Roberts revealing his true self.

The memories Kang San had personally experienced and witnessed were revealed to everyone in the form of a video.

『The video you have just seen is all a true story that I have experienced, replayed through image memory magic. The reason I am revealing this is because I have to. Just as President Eric Roberts revealed his true self, I am not a great hero like people say. I’m just a person who has been pushed around, and when I came to my senses, people were calling me a hero.』

He revealed his secret.

While talking with Eric Roberts, Kang San also accepted this decision in his heart.

『The truth you need to know is that it’s not just the monsters that appear through the Links that threaten this world. Of course, if we can’t stop them, this world will be destroyed, but there are souls from past lives who are trying to profit from that outcome.』

People were speechless.

They listened to Kang San’s story.

『Luca Bellino told me the whole truth and showed me the truth. As a being who experienced the first disaster, she destroyed countless worlds and received countless opportunities in return. If I had gone berserk and killed President Eric Roberts. Then, Seo Mun-ho’s soul would not have killed the villain Peng Mujeong, but you would have thought that I assassinated the President of the United States. What would have happened then? War. In this time of chaos caused by large-scale Links, humans would be fighting and killing each other when they should be joining forces.』

It was a gamble for Kang San.

If the truth, the appeal to emotion, did not work.

The Sun God Church’s actions could not be stopped.

It was not something that could be stopped by physical force, as it had already entered an irreversible flow.

So he empathized with the people who believed in the Rapture.

What they wanted in a desperate reality, why they had no choice but to escape into a cult.

『This is an undeniable truth. I experienced it, and you are witnessing it now. The Sun God Church is the same. There is evidence that Sebastian, the so-called Priest of the Sun, has been secretly colluding with Peng Mujeong, who has been borrowing the power of President Eric Roberts. The Rapture leads to Utopia? That’s an illusion. From the beginning, Sebastian only drove you to death for his own benefit.』

Beyond the screen.

He met the eyes of the people looking at him.

『I don’t not understand the choice of escaping to the Sun God Church, whether it’s because someone lost their family, someone lost their purpose in life, or someone hates this miserable reality. But the method is wrong. The world is not over yet. If we don’t give up and resist until the end, we can protect the place we have lived in and continue to exist as humans. So keep in mind.』

In people’s hearts.

Kang San caused a great stir.

『There is no paradise in the place you run to.』
