Chapter 136: Summon. part 2

Hell is a place where souls atone for their sins. It's a hellish place for mortals but those who are born inside of it are called Devils.

They are hell citizens or also known as underworld beings that rule the realm. They are the same being as Demons, but they are more vicious and sadistic.

They don't hold any emotions like demons and they hold a grave grudge against the living beings in the human realm.

Devils are also creatures that love being summoned by humans because it's the only way out of the underworld realm. When a human creates a gate to summon one, the smell of that human spreads all over the underworld that makes the devils go crazy.

The lucky one who gets through the gate and ends up being the human's slave. But humankind didn't know about the fact that it's taboo.

When a human goes against the rule of nature, it has to pay a huge amount of cost to fill the gap that was created by the act of taboo between two dimensions.

The lowest price of breaking the rule of nature is his own life, nobody knows about the rest of it but the gods. But the price of summoning one devil from hell isn't immediately taken.

'So she's going to summon more devils from the underworld at this rate. This is messed up.'

Viktor closed the record of Midas and sighed. Midas, the guardian of greed, was lucky to find a girl who had such mana to summon devils, but he had no knowledge about its aftermath.

"He knew that it's taboo to summon devils so he taught that girl how to summon one to avoid punishment. That girl has already summoned more than 30 devils and they all possessed the most powerful hybrids."

Adonis took a seat in front of him with tons of papers and said, "It's happening just as you predicted, master. The American hybrid association just cut off the links with the Asian association. They are complaining that it was us who didn't send any hybrids to stop the war in Africa. At this rate, normal humans will get informed about hybrids. Furthermore, the European branch seems to believe their false accusation."

Ifrit entered the office room of Viktor and said, "Oi, I sensed a bastard demon sniffing around our property. Tell me how they got out of hell? Did someone summon them?"

Adonis stood up and slammed on the desk in anger, "Mind your language when you're in front of your master!!! If you don't fix the foul mouth of yours now, I won't hold back. I won't tolerate this anymore!!!"

"Calm down Adonis…Ifrit, where did you sense the demon walking around?" Viktor asked.

"Oh, outside Seoul."

"I see. Good work then. Now leave. I am very busy now."

"Yes, yes." He left the room by closing the door silently.

"Master, I just got an email from the Asian association president. He said that we should cancel the order from Europe and sell the same product to them. They also proposed to pay 2% more than the actual price."

"Not bad, but you should call an emergency meeting at your office. Since the European branch is thinking about cutting off the tie with Asia, I guess you should propose an alliance with the Australian branch. Well, talk with your company's president and other staff members. I will take care of it from the shadows."

"Master. May I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"What are the punishments for breaking the rules of nature? For example, summoning devils from hell?"

"Oh, the cheap price a human can pay is their own soul to the hell keepers. Their medium price is 44 life. A soul can live only for 77 times until their final day of judgement. And the highest price a human can pay is the soul of all of her 77 line relatives' 77th life.

That means, none of his or her long-distance relatives will stay alive and they will immediately be sent to hell even if they have done nothing."

"That's very dangerous. But why is Midas summing so many devils on earth? What is he trying to achieve?"

"Like I said yesterday, the future isn't fixed. So does his goals. He's not even sure what he wants to do. He just wants money and settles down here by force. He wants power and the whole universe in his palms. He's a greedy bastard."

"Then, why don't you just kill him? Your fragment is full now. Isn't it, master? I am sure you know how to erase his existence by using your power."

"-_-. You're right. I can do that, but. I want his fragment. I can't waste such a strong fragment just like I did before. But you know,..."

Viktor cast a sound barrier around them and then said, "My brother is a sly one. I don't even know where he is. I can look into the world record, but it requires a god's fragment. I'm just a demigod so I can't look into it."

"Then, master. How about devouring the guardian of time's fragment? That will allow you to see through the future more accurately."

"Hm…. I wonder…"

A few days ago, there was a sudden change in two records that he monitored most of the time. It was the guardian of time's fragments and his so-called fake brother's. Their seal was broken and they escaped from the place where they landed.

After that, they met with each other and then suddenly split into so many 'dummy' persons. They probably did that to avoid Viktor's eyes.

Each of the dummies has the same memories from where they split apart and from then, they each had different thoughts. They worked as different human beings and all of them had nothing in common. They acted as if they were an actual person.

But this act made Viktor so sure that his other part knows more knowledge than him and he was the one who used clone magic to smoke Viktor's vision.

'So my other part could be anywhere looking at me. Or probably working under me to find the right time to take me down.'

Viktor looked into all the 'dummy' records and found out they all had something in common. At night, they all act the same and finally fall asleep. They look like robots acting along with the same command given by the core.

'All I need to find out is the imposter. But where could it be hiding?…'

He took a sip of his early morning tea and went lost deep into his research. He was almost buried under the pile of records that belonged to all the dummies.

Somewhere in God's realm…

"Huh…huh..huh…See? Candidate no 4 is working very hard." A huge figure with golden hair smiled upon the floating screen in front of her. She was looking at Viktor with curiosity and bragging about how hard he was working.

A tall man with a black beard sat comfortably on his seat and said, "Hum… that's the runaway's 7th generation son, right? I still can't believe that she commanded her knights to kill her own children."

The woman who was smiling upon the screen became annoyed to hear her being mentioned by him and said, "Don't ruin my mood in this early morning Odin. She was kicked out because of her wrong deed. Even she tried to kill a God candidate because of her jealousy! It was her own son!! Just look at that poor soul! Carrying his mother's sins even in his 3rd reincarnation."

She sobbed a little and then said, "I shall look upon this poor soul. Let's see… how about a hint?"

"Pila, you can't break the rules. Did you forget that we can't help any God candidate until he reaches heaven's realm? Please be patient."

"Okay then. I will wait for that day to arrive."

'Like hell I would wait!!! I want to kick that runaway's ass right now!! If she didn't become the water god's lover, I'd already tear her face apart!!! How dare she try to kill a God's candidate!!!!'

Odin looked at her and sighed. He thought, 'I am certain that she's plotting something weird now. I need to go and check the situation on earth now. I also need to talk with Lucifer because I sense devils roaming on the land of mortals.'

He flew down from his seat and said, 'I'm going out for a walk.'

At that moment, a black shadow appeared behind him and said, "It's been a while since you called for me, Odin. Or should I call you, the god of misfortune?"

"I am not a god of misfortune, Lucifer. Tell me, why did you open the door to hell?" He asked.

"Oh… it was a request from a fellow God candidate. You see, he bribed a good heavenly mana stone. So, I also needed to listen to his small request."

Odin smiled a little and said, "You, you're actually curious to examine how good and befinicial candidate no 5 and 4 are. Aren't you?"

"Well, who knows?"
