The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 180: Dak: I am the only one who needs help
“…Forgive me, please forgive me.” Barbatos’ consciousness was already a little hazy.

My self was being taken over by him bit by bit. He completely seized my existence. I became a part of him, a part of the "ultimate monster".

With constant ups and downs in emotions, Barbatos' consciousness became more and more disintegrated.

My existence is really only as small as a squid's tentacles.

This is the little bit of existence and life I have been given.

I remember the fear I had back then...

Therefore, the Demon Pillar Barbatos made another pleading sound.

"Please forgive me!"

"Please kill me!".

...it kept mumbling, and this was all it could think about now.

“…Really.

Lord Barbatos is such a headache.

You may have misunderstood and thought that this cute squid tentacles are still your body, but in fact...there is nothing left that belongs to you.
This cute squid tentacles is just my sympathy to you.

Lord Barbatos was left with only consciousness.

And this is all thanks to my permission." Dak noticed that Barbatos was on the verge of collapse and finally became interested in dealing with it.

What he said was still lies and deception.

Dak wants to completely take away everything from Barbatos, and the best way to do that is to cause Barbatos to have a mental breakdown himself.

Only in this way can Dark completely steal Barbatos' account and join the Demon Pillar's camp.

Enter the Temple of Time as Barbatos.

Anyway, he can't be killed, and Barbatos can't be allowed to commit suicide, so Dark spends so much time playing house with Barbatos.

The Demon Pillar of Death will be reborn in the Temple of Time, and if Barbatos dies, all the efforts will be in vain.

“Woo…woo…woo…

Ah…ah…ah…"

crazy.

Really crazy.

Barbatos had a final thought in his mind - maybe we, the Demon Pillars, don't understand human nature at all? Humans are creatures that don't need to be saved.

"But, what kind of relationship do I have with Lord Barbatos? How could I kill you?" Dak smiled happily, full of kindness and optimism. Barbatos already believed it all, and he was very satisfied.

Barbatos didn't realize that Da had no intention of killing him.

"Uh, uh..." His whole body was convulsing and twitching. If Barbatos had a mouth, he would have retched at this hypocritical kindness, right?
It's just that this squid tentacles don't have such a structure, which prevents it from doing so.

“Please forgive me.

Please forgive me!

I can do anything for you." I have nothing left. If I don't want to die, the only thing I can offer is myself.

Should he choose to belong to humans (Matou Shinji?), or be destroyed with dignity as a demon god.

After some hesitation, Barbatos decided to choose affiliation. After all, once it left Dark, it would disappear.

That's what it thinks.

This is a completely isolated environment similar to the Temple of Time. If one dies here, because the "Seventy-two Pillars of Demonic Gods" are considered to be one, the "Barbatos" reborn in the Temple of Time will not be him "Barbatos".

Barbatos, corrupted by human emotions, also has a concept of human selfishness, which the original Barbatos probably wouldn't care about.

"Since Lord Barbatos said so, I have no choice but to harden my heart and let you go." Dark planned to force it one last time.

Only by pushing people can we know how much potential they have. I guess it's the same for the Demon Pillar, right?
"No! No! No! No!

That's enough.

It's enough to survive in this posture.

Help me, don't abandon me, don't forsake me, don't take away my purpose, my will and the meaning of my existence!" Barbatos had completely lost his autonomy and was completely fooled by Dark's malice.

Those who do not understand human nature are corrupted by the darkness of human nature. How far can human malice go?

“It’s settled then.

Lord Barbatos, since you are willing to do anything, please come and face the final experience.

Just like the trials you took the liberty of giving me.

"You will agree, right?" Dak said with a smile. He was very narrow-minded. When it came to things like carrying on the cause and effect of his previous life, he always wanted the good and not the bad.

As for the bad things, of course we must retaliate.

Ah!
What a despicable and selfish person.

Following Dak's will, a hole opened in the magic furnace core in front of him and a pool of water rose up.

This was a strong poison that he had carefully prepared. If he had given Aozaki Touko this dose, he could have killed her on the spot.

“Come on, Lord Barbatos.

You must overcome this vicious trial of humanity.

If you want to eradicate human evil, you must first experience human evil yourself." Dak said with a smile.

All the foreshadowing is to make Barbatos have no choice but to actively face this "evil of this world". Barbatos is absolutely unable to cross this thing, it will only be corroded and transformed into something else.

Become a technique belonging to Dark.

Then Dak ignored the screams of the squid tentacles in his hand and threw the thing in.

"Ah!
No! No...

So tired! So tired...

I’m dying! I’m dying…

Kill, kill, kill…

Hungry hungry hungry…

It hurts! It hurts...

I…I…I…can’t sustain myself.”

He was being changed, Barbatos could clearly feel that he was being tampered with.

I am no longer myself.

I have become something that is no longer my own.

"Why…

Why is this happening…

I obviously didn't do anything wrong...

Why????!!!!"

Barbatos was certain that all of its memories of its existence as the Demon Pillar were of it working diligently for the goodness of humanity.

The only thing that could be considered "evil" has not yet happened.

It should be able to call itself a "good" being...so good "people" don't get good rewards??????

"No...no...this is too much...too much...

Just kill me!
kill me!

I don’t want to become something else!!!
Kill me, Master Matou Shinji—" Barbatos only left such a sound before his existence was completely polluted and transformed.

Then it's gone.

It has a new life.

"Master, you have a really bad character.

No matter what Barbatos says, you will lead it to this end." The Black Holy Grail suddenly made a sound.

She and Saya watched closely as Dark prepared Barbatos.

how to say?

Frankly speaking, I feel the same way.

“How can you say it so harshly?

Lord Barbatos and I are one.

This is just a sacrifice for my ideals.

As a part of me, it's only natural for you to give everything for me, right?" Dark looked at the Black Holy Grail and narrowed his eyes.

As an extension of their own power, both the Black Holy Grail and Saya should agree with this logic.

"You're right, we exist for you, Master." Saya twisted her body in Dark's arms.

That’s right, that’s it.

This is the right thing to do.

"...That's true, Master." The Black Holy Grail was a little slow to react.

Although she also follows the same logic of action, it does not mean that the Black Holy Grail does not understand normal logic.

Apart from these extensions of power, other beings have no reason to dedicate themselves to Dark.

This is the difference between the Black Holy Grail and Saya, right?
The Black Holy Grail will observe everything more objectively, while Saya completely blindly follows Dark.

“Okay, let’s move on to the next step.

The name of Barbatos belongs to me." Dak looked at the pool in front of him.

Barbatos' existence was suppressed to such a small extent by him that both his power and consciousness were negligible, so he should have been quickly corrupted.

In the black water pool in front of Da, many squid tentacles were swaying like water plants and even growing out.

"It looks like things are going well. Now let's weave it into the spell I need." Dak said with satisfaction.

With Saya and the Black Holy Grail, his overall combat power is very strong, but if he only counts this body, he will be much weaker.

Dark's status is similar to Aozaki Touko's.

As for Dak's behavior, the squid tentacles just rolled their eyes randomly and did not react at all.

It's already a pathetic thing that has destroyed itself.

If there is another book, I probably won’t be interested in writing it anymore. It will make me sick if I write too much… I am a normal and good person, right? How can I think about these things all day long? ?
