The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 176 The World of Barbatos (Truman)

Today is another beautiful day in Fuyuki.

Dak opened the window and felt the bright sunshine and the cool breeze.

After a long period of construction, the moral level of the entire human society has been greatly improved, not to mention the whole of Japan, but at least around where Dake lives.

Using the Saya invasion body that parasitizes humans as a medium, Dark imposed a large-scale hypnotic suggestion on all humans around him, treating all humans as tools and pawns.

All preparations have been completed, even this body has been specially modulated. Now it is the stage for the Demon Pillar Barbatos.

Dak, who has conducted social experiments before, will make perfect use of his past experience.

As an intelligence entity, can the Demon Pillar, whose essence is a magical one, resist all these "intelligence directions"?

“I…I…

This is…” Barbatos’ voice sounded somewhat puzzled, why was he here?

The last time I came here, I was summoned, but this time...?
Hard to understand.

"This voice... is it Lord Barbatos?" The young boy's joyful voice rang out.

"Is it... Shinji Matou?" Barbatos finally remembered that this was the child he summoned last time.

Have I been summoned again?

“Yes, it’s me.

Thank you very much for your help, Lord Barbatos. Sakura and I have actually been looking forward to meeting you." The boy's voice was filled with the expectation of a certain wish being fulfilled.

This warm, sunny feeling is exactly what Barbatos hopes to see from humans.

Yes, that's what humans should be like.

Instead of being like that king, allowing humanity to fall into depravity.

Humanity should move towards truth, goodness and beauty under our guidance.

As a part of the Beast of Mercy Goetia, Barbatos also wants to carry out activities out of love for humans, which leads to human evil.

"Sakura was saved?
Did you learn to use magic too?
Was Matou Zouken also eliminated?" Barbatos made a rumbling sound, and after realizing where this place was, Barbatos began to focus on the key points of the matter.

As for why he was summoned, it should be because the technique he left behind had some unknown flaws, right?
We can study this further later.

"Yes.

All solved.

Fuyuki City is now more beautiful than ever before.

It was because of your help, Lord Barbatos, that Sakura and I were rescued from the devil's cave.

Such good thoughts should be passed on, so I want to give back to the world.

Lord Barbatos, would you like to come and watch it together? "Dak's voice now fits the childishness of a child, with a sense of innocence and tenderness.

Wouldn't it disgust acquaintances?
"really?

That's great.

But I still have important things to do.

We have an important mission." Barbatos was referring to the Human Principle Incineration Method.

Even though the Demon King seems to be invincible, that is because he has been casting spells in the Temple of Time for three thousand years.

And now, the plan is far from successful.

The powerful one is the one who casts spells in the Temple of Time for three thousand years and burns the human reason. Rather than just the seventy-two demon pillars that occupy Solomon's remains.

There is a huge difference between the two.

"Is that so? But Sakura was clearly looking forward to meeting you.

It was with your help that she was saved.

It only takes a little while for you, isn't that possible?" Dak's voice was filled with unspeakable loss.

"That's fine..." Barbatos' voice was a little hesitant.

...Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to go and see the child? Barbatos was shaken.

After all, this is the only person it has personally rescued, so it is indeed worth meeting in person.

As a fixed-running technique, even with self-awareness, this unplanned behavior still makes it feel novel. "But without a body, Lord Barbatos can't contact Sakura, right? And Sakura can't communicate with you, Lord Barbatos.

In that case, you can use my body!" Dak's voice was very happy, as if it was an honor.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Barbatos was in a very happy mood - although I was a demon god, this child's respect for me was genuine. He did not resist and gave me the right to use his body.

“It’s alright, Lord Barbatos.

We are a community of destiny, and we all share the same ideals. If we become one, we will surely be able to achieve this ideal better!" Dak's voice was full of anticipation.

"I understand, Shinji." Barbatos felt that this was the first time he, as a jutsu master, felt this excited.

Ah! Is this what it feels like to be recognized?

In that case, then stay here for now.

In short, we have to make this child's life better.

So... let's block contacts with people of the same kind first?
"Shinji..." Barbatos' voice began to change, and it began to actively enter Dark's body.

"What's wrong? Lord Barbatos." Dark's voice was very happy - deceiving the pure demon pillar or something... Sbarasi!
"I will help you, for our long-cherished wish, I promise!" Barbatos' voice gradually changed to become the same as Dak's, and it had completely taken up residence in Dak's body.

However, this specially treated body did not allow it to notice anything abnormal, it was just like an ordinary child who could perform magic.

Look in the mirror through Duck's eyes, and you'll see a child with blue kelp hair.

Looking out the window.

…What a wonderful world it is.

Is this how humans feel?
"Should such a world be burned? Do we need to create it again?" Barbatos began to hesitate. Should he really agree?

"What are you thinking about? Lord Barbatos, let's go see Sakura together." Dark urged.

The reason why he chose to wake up Barbatos today was, of course, because he had already set up everything. The people around him had modified their memories to perform a script that satisfied Dark.

What will be staged today is "The Truman Show", oh no...it's "The World of Barbatos".

"Brother? You're coming down so slowly.

Seriously, have you forgotten what day it is today?
I even called my sister over." Beside the table, Matou Sakura said unhappily.

Making cakes is also very hard work, okay?

"Hahaha, don't say that.

Sakura, haven't you always wanted to meet the person who saved us?
He is here today." Dak said, "Lord Barbatos, please don't be shy, come and say hello to everyone."

...

“Is it this body that’s influencing my thinking?
...I don’t know how to face it.

Obviously, it was me who gave her the power to save her, but... for the little girl in front of me...

Barbatos didn't know how to face it.

It had no experience communicating with little girls.

The Demon Pillar is a ritual and a spiritual entity.

They never had normal human bodies - the usurped body of Solomon was a corpse after death.

But this feeling...is not bad.

Barbatos could see the expression of the little girl in front of him through Dark's eyes.

The surprise gradually turned into an expression of joy.

It likes it very much.

"Nice to meet you. I'm the demon... I'm Barbatos." Some changes occurred in Dark's body. His eyes turned into the mushroom eyes of the Demon Pillar, and his voice also changed slightly.

After a slight hesitation, Barbatos did not mention anything about the Demon Pillar.

Don't tell her this, okay?

Barbatos didn't want to scare the little kids.

Seeing this, is there anyone who hasn’t joined the group yet?
