The King of the Battlefield

Baal stared at Solomon and then turned his head at Muyoung.

“You can see through me.”

Baal’s appearance changes according to those who see him. He takes on the form of what they fear the most, and Baal overwhelmed them by pretending to be their ‘terror.’

However, Muyoung was exempt from this illusion because he had eyes that could see the truth. Muyoung saw Solomon and Baal as two same beings who cannot and should not be the same, but WERE. What was going on?

“Are you curious?”

Baal seemed to know what Muyoung was thinking, and his slight smile was like a small victory.

On the other hand, Solomon was silent because he feared Baal, who was the same being as him.

“We were once one god but are now divided in two.”

Baal spoke, and no one could move. His words had power different from Solomon. If Solomon could affect the world through Diablo’s power, Baal overwhelmed everyone just by his presence.

“He wanted recreate the world after destroying it, and I wanted one single evolved being who overcame everything. There could be no compromise on our positions.”

Solomon denounced the possibility of evolution. He wanted to destroy everything and wanted to collect the data to create a perfect race. On the other hand, Baal wished to gather all the races in a killing jar and have them fight to the death, so only one race could reach the goal. While their ideas were similar, there were definite differences between them.

“I stole The Lemegeton from him but lost control of Earth.”

The Lemegeton was a book that held all including Ars Nova, Ars Paulina, and the seventy-two demon gods. Baal had stolen what could be called Everything from Solomon.

“I returned to the demon world and turned back time through the power of Ars Paulina. This is the reason why the memories of beings who entered the Underworld are different.”

Ars Paulina, the Angel of Time… The name of the angel that Muyoung possessed was mentioned by Baal.

Also, another secret was revealed, and now Muyoung knew why people who arrived at the Blue Temple had different memories of the past.

“I could not use Ars Nova because it is the power of miracles. It is a power only those who had been touched by a miracle can use. This was why I unleashed Ars Paulina.”

Baal talked as if he had calculated everything from the beginning. Ars Paulina held the power of time, and it was like a miracle itself. The angel Ars Nova could only be received by someone who had been given the Authority of Divinity, which is the final divine qualification that the Masters in the Darkness lacked.

However, Baal began to question something.

“It’s strange because Ars Paulina had been almost exhausted, so there was no way for it to go back in time…”

“Did you make me search for Ars Nova?”
