Don't call me evil god

Chapter 584: Rafi: I'm Alright, Please Let Me Go
Mocking a god could certainly be considered an act of "crossing the line."

If you take it seriously, it's blasphemy.

The reason why Raphael was jumping around so happily in front was mainly because he relied on the fact that he would not be sanctioned. He said whatever he wanted, and at worst he would just retreat to hell and no one could catch him.

Things were different after Nowen activated the Punishment Core at the Altar of Creation.

On the operating platform corresponding to the punishment core, you can only see a glowing light spot. When you touch it, you can see a super long demon language name.

"Rafa Diego Ciboriano La De Crispi... Gunasius."

If it weren't for the [Real Name Known], this guy would have been so unscrupulous. The name he left on the contract was "Raphi Gunasius" and he didn't fill in his name at all.

Knowing the real name is a very important part of dealing with the devil.

The punishment core and the positioning core underwent a magical linkage in the Holy Altar of Creation.

The latter is responsible for locking the position, while the former can bring down punishment at any time.

Whenever Rafi did something beyond the limit, the light spot corresponding to his position would begin to flicker rapidly.

Noven only needs a light touch.

The cost is the consumption of divine power.

The punishment takes effect immediately.

When testing with the devil Raphael, Nowen chose the simplest punishment.

……

Hell dimension.

A red lightning that spans across the sky and earth tears through the dimensional boundaries!

It passed through the Sulfur Mountain and the tributaries of the Styx without any hindrance, passed by one magnificent and gorgeous building of hell after another, and arrived precisely above the head of Raphi Gunasius.

And then—it came down with a loud bang!
“…Gah!!!”

Raphael, who was mocking Reina just a moment ago, was struck by the red lightning and became stiff with his face twitching.

Although this lightning has no physical existence, the stimulation and punishment effect it produces on the devil's soul is real, making the devil experience what it means to be in excruciating pain.

After Raphael was struck, he became visibly confused.

"Is this...is this right...is this wrong?"

It's not nerve-wracking, and the intensity is just right.

This red lightning that passed through most of the hell dimension made all the devils who witnessed its appearance subconsciously nervous.

They could recognize that this was the effect of the Thunder of Punishment, a rebuke specifically designed to stop the devil from crossing the line.

After all, as demons with longer lifespans than dragons, they have all been struck by this thing to a greater or lesser extent.

The difference is that some demons have their souls annihilated by being struck on the spot, while others are only slightly punished.

But that happened a long time ago!
Ten thousand years ago, the demons began to vaguely discover that their actions beyond the boundaries seemed no longer to be condemned.

Although red lightning can still be seen occasionally traveling through the Hell Dimension, it has lost its ability to lock onto demons.

Unless you are extremely unlucky, it will never hit you on the head.

Therefore, the devils began to become more and more rebellious, and even under the leadership of the devil lord, they made the biggest move of crossing the boundary - joining forces with the evil god of the void dimension to push the mortal dimension into the dark age.

In the eyes of other demons, the appearance of this lightning should be just an accidental phenomenon, and it will pass after the tension.

Rafi doesn't think so at all!
Although there was an extremely small probability, his luck was too bad and he really happened to be hit by the thunder of punishment.

But this lightning strike was too accurate!
He had just spoken wildly about a god, and the next moment the punishment came, and it landed right on him with pinpoint accuracy.

How accurate is it?
When the lightning struck, the clay servants who were waiting to serve him were unharmed, and even his gorgeous dress was not affected at all.

A world where only Raphi Gunasius was struck by lightning.

I wouldn't believe it even if I killed Rafi. How could this be a coincidence?
Being struck by lightning is not scary. What is scary is that such precise punishment may very well mean that the punishment lightning has regained its effectiveness.

The devils' past cross-border actions may be settled!
But Rafi waited in the hell dimension for a long time and didn't find any new changes. "Huh?"

So Rafi became even more confused.

If we really talk about the act of going to the next world, he doesn't even have a rank in hell. The Devil Lord is above him, and it should be the Devil Lord who should be struck to death first.

Why is the thunder only striking him?
How big of a mistake had he made that he needed to be punished more than the Devil Lord? !
"Has the Thunder of Punishment really regained its effectiveness?"

"Do you dare to hit me again?"

……

This is Norman.

On the operating console corresponding to the Punishment Core, the light spot with Rafi's real name began to flash at a high frequency again.

It flickered so fast that it was hard for Norman to ignore it.

"Hmm, it seems like I can chop it again?"

"Then try again."

……

"Crack!"

It was another thunder of punishment that spanned the dimension of hell.

"Gah!!!"

Rafi can't be fooled anymore!
"This, this, this is not right, Lord God! Why are you only focusing on me?!"

"Shouldn't you go and kill the prince first? What's the point of killing me?!"

Raphael was almost knocked unconscious by two consecutive punishment thunders in a short period of time.

The Thunder of Punishment has indeed regained its effectiveness!
But this effect is obviously problematic!
He just kept on chopping at this devil, while completely ignoring the other devils.

……

In the end, Rafi was quite honest.

No other reason.

For the devil, nothing is more terrifying than being punished by the thunder of punishment. The blow of this thing directly touches the devil's soul.

The two blows he received were purely warnings. They only caused extreme pain but would not cause much harm to him.

But now that the warning has been given, it is certainly not impossible to chop his soul into oblivion if we really want to.

Since you can't afford to offend them, you can only join them.

"...Ahem, I take back what I said before!"

"I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, please don't hit me again!"

Although he is still the devil who likes to watch fun and likes to add fuel to the fire, he will never do some actions that were previously considered "over the line" again.

After all, strictly speaking, there aren't many cases of punishment for the devil. It's just that it's a little more restrained than before. Raphael will never touch operations like blasphemy or unequal contracts in the future.

The tradition of devils making pacts with mortals is long-standing.

But when there is the supervision of the Thunder of Punishment, their contracts are equal in terms, but there has never been any unequal clause that the souls of mortals will be sucked into hell and belong to the devil lord after death.

Those unequal treaties were entered into by the devils on their own initiative when there was no punishment from the thunder of punishment.

Rafi felt a little scared when he thought about it.

Fortunately, he was careful when signing the contract with the knowledge-seeking believers, because the other party had the blessing of a god behind him, so he did not come up with unequal contract terms.

Otherwise, he would be struck to death!
