My mother's love song

She found it difficult to control her own magic power and thoughts, and she lost her balance while floating in the air.

"That's it, Delta!"

Rhode kept the dagger stuck in the center of her chest with one hand while knocking her to the ground.

“No… I haven’t… it won’t end like this!

I didn’t lose! It’s just a human magic costume! Watch me overcome it and show you!”

Delta had sweat on his forehead and was biting his lips, trying to suppress the collapse of his own system.

Although she had almost no time to care about other things just to maintain herself, she still glared at Rhodes and raised her hand knife to chop at him.

"I must fulfill my daughters' wish... I must... defeat you here!"

Rhodes blocked her attack with a wave of his hand, then inserted the gold blade deeper, piercing the center of her chest with the entire blade.

"From the beginning you kept saying that it was for our daughter, but that was just your resentment!"

Rhode's reprimand shook Delta for a moment, then her face turned red, she gritted her teeth, and grabbed the boy's face with one hand.

"…It's so noisy! Just shut up!!!"

Delta's hand pressed on Rod's face, Rod held her wrist, and they both fell to the ground.

The ground was covered with dust due to the impact of the fall.

From a distance it looked like a fight between elementary school students, they were pulling each other and rolling on the ground.

It rolled from the center of the underground cavity to the edge before it completely stopped.

Then, only one person stood up from the rolling dust.

Rhode stood on the ground solemnly, looking down at Delta, who was unharmed but lifeless, like a beautiful puppet with its strings cut.

If there is any difference from the doll, it is that she still stares back at the boy with her devilish black and white eyes without showing any weakness.

"We win! That guy was defeated by Rod!"

The girls who were watching the game hugged each other excitedly.

This time it is absolutely true, the winner is decided

At least, this round of confrontation ended with Rhodes' victory.

……

……

……

"Delta, talk to me for a moment?"

Rhodes said to the naked sleeping beauty who was lying at his feet, completely unable to move on her own.

"Aleister Crowley..."

The big demon, lying naked on the ground with a dagger stuck in the center of his chest, shouted out the name of his enemy like a curse.

"At this point, I don't think there is anything left to discuss with you. If you want to humiliate me, do it now. I will definitely return the favor once I regain my strength."

As he said that, the big devil turned his head away with an uncooperative look on his face.

It takes a lot of strength just to move the neck, right?

Rhodes couldn't help but think.

"Delta, I understand your hatred for humans. A wounded soul that has been left alone in a tomb for a hundred years must be impossible to heal. Therefore, I will never deny your hatred."

"It's not me! It's my daughters! To me, it doesn't matter whether it's human beings or the world, they are all good or bad!" Delta shouted excitedly.

Yes Yes Yes……

Rhodes sighed and did not expose the truth. Instead, he continued speaking as if he was coaxing a child.

"Delta, let me ask you this. Why do your daughters want to destroy humanity?"

Since you dote on your child so much, you must be able to answer it, Rhodes said with a mocking face, interrupting her idea of ​​refusing to communicate.

"…Because humans are too stupid, absolutely stupid and hopeless."

"If persecuting others for one's own pleasure is stupid, then there is probably no creature in this world that is not stupid.

The root cause of all this is not human beings, but power.”

Rhodes recalled the books he had read on the plane to London, and said what he had learned immediately.

“The essence of power is to make another person feel pain.

Obedience alone is not enough. If the other person does not suffer, how do you know that he is obeying your will and not his own?

The meaning of power is to bring pain and humiliation to others.

Power lies in tearing the human mind into pieces and then gluing it back together in the shape of your own choosing.

Humans may harm the world, but it is not the human species that is wrong, but the instinct of living things that cannot properly control their own power.

It’s just that humans are a little smarter than other creatures, so this part is particularly obvious.”

Thank you, Mr. George Orwell. This is probably the most reasonable thing I have ever said in my life and the most shining moment in my life.

Rhodes thought complacently.

Ahhh… Sakura’s eyes are shining when she looks at me.

I really want to pull all my women over to listen to my speech.

Delta obviously didn't expect that Rhodes would give him a philosophy lecture. She was stunned for a while before she fought back.

"No matter how high-sounding your words are, human beings are too cruel and brutal..."

"This is the result of human beings transforming the world. It is also because of this that the planet has undergone such earth-shaking changes since humans ascended to the throne of primates.

You, who came into this world during the Industrial Revolution, should know this very well. "

Hearing this, the great devil changed.

Her eyebrows trembled and shook constantly.

Rhodes seized this opportunity and continued to ask.

"After exterminating humanity, how do you plan to rule and transform this world?"

"...!"

Delta was stunned for a long time, then stammered.

"Ah, Alpha and the others have already made the plan, but they haven't told me yet..."

"They are inside your body right now! You can find out by just searching your memory!"

"..."

Delta was speechless.

"Oh my, you haven't thought about it at all, have you?" Rhodes said with a sarcastic look on his face.

"..."

Delta was silent.

Rhode sighed silently, and then said: "It's the same for me, humans and the world are all trivial matters.

If this planet has reached a point of no return, I will only leave here with my important people.

I don’t care about the remaining six billion people’s lives.”

Delta asked, "In that case, why don't you just stand by and watch? Why are you getting in my way?"

"Because, there is something I want to tell you right now."

"...What is it?"

Rhodes said in a calm tone: "You are no different now than the person who abandoned you and me."

While speaking, he did not avoid Delta's gaze at all.

"You said I'm... the same as you?" She opened her eyes wide in anger.

"You are no different from me in that you just squander your own power without thinking about the consequences and just force your own ideas on others."

"I thought you were going to say something...so boring."

After hearing his words, Delta showed contempt between his brows.

"Aleister, you just asked me why I want to destroy humanity, right?

Now I want to revise my answer and my response is [no reason].

I am the Archdemon Coronzon, humanity's ultimate and final enemy.

It is natural for demons to kill, invade, devour, toy with, degrade, and desecrate human beings.

This is not an impulse or a sin, it is one of the basic logics of how the world works.”

"Really? Because demons are the enemy of humanity, you want to destroy humanity? I didn't know you were such a law-abiding guy."

"That's enough of this boring conversation..."

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Rhode interrupted her attempt to forcibly end the topic and continued, "You are still like this. Whenever you encounter something, you just want to escape."

"What did you say……?"

Delta's black and gold demonic eyes gleamed with ferocity.

"I say you are a coward like me." Rhodes said without showing any weakness.

"Who are you calling a coward?"

"I called you a coward, Coronzon!"

"Aleister, I'm going to kill you..."

Delta bit her lips with a look of resentment on her face. Unable to move, she could only vent her anger by speaking literally.

But unfortunately, when it comes to talking, Rhodes's level is so high that he can be rated as a champion.

He went on to say, "Whether in the past or now, whenever you encounter trouble, you always try to escape and are never willing to face the problem."

“That’s enough! Stop lecturing me…!”

"Be quiet, you loser who was beaten so hard that he can't even stand up!"

Rhodes' sudden loud shout quieted Delta down.

"You were like this when I summoned you. I don't know whether you hated me or for some other reason. You gave up your rationality and made me think that you were just an insentient beast."

Rhodes told the truth he had guessed: "You have had intelligence from the beginning, right? You just kept it hidden!"

""

Delta remained silent and rolled his eyes in displeasure.

It seems that Rodmon had discovered her true feelings.

"After I left you, you also chose to escape."

He said.

"Because you don't want to face the reality, because you feel betrayed. That's why you created three daughters, hoping to share your pain and loneliness with them.

Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, they were neither born naturally nor were they born to cater to your desire to destroy the world...

It was your desire to have companions who would not be betrayed that led you to create them, am I right?"

The silence of the visit was very long.

After a long while, Delta finally opened his lips.

“…So, what?”

She raised her voice, gnashing her teeth and shaking her shoulders as she said, "What exactly do you want to say? I just happened to guess right. Don't act like you know me so well! You're a monster disguised as a human!!!"

"I just know you well, Delta."

"Why?" Delta asked.
