Academy’s Weapon Replicator Chapter 542
Chapter 147 Nastrond (2)
“Plan to throw me into the abyss?”
“hmm. I’ll explain as I go from now on. “It would be better for you too.”
Belphegor spread his wings.
Selena is a little nervous about that. She has a laid-back vibe that makes her easy to let down her guard, but Belphegor is a devil. That too, the Seven Deadly Sins.
“Where are you going?”
“You say you’re saving Ajie? “Then we should go there.”
At Belphegor’s words, Frondier looked at Selena.
“Selena can’t use flying magic. Can she enter the shadows?”
“… … The shadow is only a means of movement, so it is not appropriate to stay in it. “It’s not a breathing space.”
“I see. Then it won’t be long.”
“yes. “It’s about 10 minutes at most.”
“… … .”
Frontier was momentarily speechless.
So Selena can hold her breath for 10 minutes?
“I can’t help it.”
Frontier turned his back to Selena, then knelt on one knee.
“Get up.”
“… … .”
This time, Selena stopped speaking.
“hurry. There is no time.”
“I, that… … .”
Belphegor, who was watching, said.
“this. Frontier, you don’t know how a woman feels.”
“what?”
“You want me to hold you like a princess? So that I can see your face right in front of me.”
“no!”
Selena cut off Belphegor and cautiously walked towards Frondier’s back.
“Si, please excuse me.”
“okay.”
Selena hesitated and eventually got on Frondier’s back, and Frondier stood up.
“let’s go.”
“This way.”
Belphegor flew up first, followed by Frondi. Meanwhile, Selena hid her blushing face on Frondi’s back.
Easy──
As they flew away, Frondier asked again.
“So, what was Satan’s plan?”
As Frondier asked, Belphegor waved his finger in the air playfully.
“As I said, I wasn’t interested in the situation in the Demon World. I didn’t care who fought for power or who became king as a result. But it seems Satan didn’t think that way.”
“What does that mean?”
“He thought I was trying to become king. Well, that didn’t become true until later.”
Satan held a staff in one hand, from somewhere unknown. As he waved the staff, a word appeared in the air. ‘Baal’.
“Originally, this guy was the strongest of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
“… … Baal.”
“Yeah. He’s not here anymore.”
“No? I met Bael.”
“okay. therefore… … .”
Belphegor, who was about to explain, stopped there. He looked at Frondi with a puzzled look.
“How do you know that Bael and Baal are originally the same being?”
“… … .”
This is knowledge that no one in this world would know. Because I didn’t know the devil existed in the first place.
However, in Frondia’s case, he had knowledge of the previous world. He knew that Baal was called by many names.
“Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. That’s not the important thing.”
Soon Belphegor calmed down and continued his explanation.
Looks like he’s getting annoyed.
“Originally, Baal was among the seven deadly sins. The strongest devil in name and reality. There was no king back then, but it had a different meaning than it does now. Since Baal is king anyway, there was no need for him to decide.”
“It seems like it was really overwhelmingly strong.”
“Yeah. But there was one problem with this guy.”
“what?”
“Half of it is God.”
Frondier tilts his head at him. Is that possible?
“Baal is one of the most powerful and oldest demons. At least to the ancient people, Baal was a god. Somewhere, he is still praying to God as a form of faith. That’s why Baal didn’t have the ‘desire’ that a demon should have, and he was able to give eclectis to humans. He also interacted with gods at that time.”
“If that’s the case, I don’t see any evidence that it’s the devil.”
“okay. But he was in the demon world, and he liked having demons around. So Baal looked like a bridge between both the devil and God, but he also looked like a bat with one foot in either side. Well, it was so strong that not everyone said it out loud.”
But then Belphegor struck out the letters Baal with his staff.
“I made a mistake.”
“mistake?”

“I fell for God’s trick.”
Belphegor wrote another name next to it: ‘Odin.’
As soon as he saw that name, Frondier’s eyes naturally narrowed.
“Odin wanted to weaken the power of the demons. That guy knew Ragnarok was coming. “If Ragnarok really comes and the power of the demons is strong, there may be a situation where the demons sweep over all of the gods.”
“So what did you do with Baal?”
“I convinced him to become a god.”
God and the devil, Baal with feet on both sides. He had confidence that he could stand on either side, but at the same time, he had subjective confusion that he was not on either side. Odin read it.
“But Baal didn’t know the specific way to become a god. In fact, it was natural. He was already a god. He just didn’t think so.”
“What did Odin say?”
“Baal said that since he was half god and half demon, he had to throw away the demon part. If you take one part away, the other part will take its place completely. Odin said so and Baal listened.”
──But, where in the world could such a being exist?
“Isn’t that how it happens?”
“Half-god, half-horse, half-god. Those beings are called that for convenience, but they are not actually half-humans. If there were such a simple method, all of those mixed-bloods would have decided which side they are on.”
If we were to paraphrase Odin’s words, Hercules would have become a god long ago.
The soul is not something that can be detached and reattached at will.
“Baal didn’t know that. Or he knew but thought he was different. He tried to separate himself from the ‘part that thought of itself as evil.’ A normal demon would have died at that point.”
Cut out their own soul. Most demons wouldn’t even know how to do it, and even if they could, they wouldn’t survive.
“Odin’s intention was to kill Baal, but something unexpected happened.”
“… … “You succeeded in separating the soul.”
“Yes. That’s how Baalzebub and Bael were born.”
Baal separated his ‘demonic part’, and the separated part gained consciousness and survived on its own.
This is Bael.
After the soul is removed, the remaining half somehow restores the body, and although its strength is reduced, it maintains its position as the Seven Deadly Sins of the Demon World.
This is Baalzebub.
“The separation of the soul was successful, but it did not lead to becoming a god. “After the success of separation, our status fell.”
“Is that even Odin’s plan?”
“well. “You don’t know that.”
No one could have predicted whether Baal’s soul separation would succeed or fail.
Even if it were Odin, it is unclear whether he could have foreseen that far.
“Anyway, after that, Bael escaped from the Seven Deadly Sins. It was like he was abandoned by his original self, Baal. The Seven Deadly Sins were considered to be Baalzebub’s true nature, and something that Bael had separated from, so they had no allies. So they escaped from the Seven Deadly Sins and settled down somewhere in the Demon Realm.”
“From then on, you started to enter the ranks of the 72 demons.”
“Yes. He took some of the troops that followed him when he was Baal. In fact, Bael has fallen from the Seven Deadly Sins, but his existence is quite stable. In a way, he is like being reborn.”
Since Bael is Baal who separated the demonic part from himself, Bael is quite stable as a demon.
In the demon world, being a devil is advantageous in many ways.
“But Baalzebub thinks he is the main body, so it is not easy to restore his body. He lost his soul in proportion to Bael’s share.”
Baalzebub is an imperfect version of Baal, who has lost his soul as much as Bael exists. He is endlessly searching for something to replace the empty part of himself.
However, of course, this cannot be achieved except by Bael. An emptiness that cannot be filled, an eternal hunger.
The demon of gluttony. Baalzebub.
“… … But it’s awesome. Even though half of it fell, he stayed in the position of the Seven Deadly Sins. “How strong was he?”
Frondier was amazed by Baal’s power.
It was so hard to defeat Belphegor, but Baal is far stronger than him, and even with the soul splitting, he still has the Seven Deadly Sins.
Belphegor gave him an ambiguous expression.
“Well, that’s true. “What I want to say starts here.”
“what?”
“In fact, Beelzebub was on the verge of being kicked out of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
No matter how powerful Baal was, Beelzebub was different. The power that was blown in half was not enough to be called the Seven Deadly Sins.
“I stopped it.”
“You blocked it?”
“okay. “The Seven Deadly Sins, no matter how solemn they may pretend to be, are fundamentally evil. They are lost in the logic of power and cannot see anything.”
Sigh, Belphegor lets out a sigh. He stands out for his shamelessness in freely criticizing himself for not being one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
“If Beelzebub had been kicked out, there would have been no devil to replace him.”
“… …There’s Astaroth.”
“Oh, my successor?”
Belphegor only then reacted as if he had realized that there was such a person. His eyes were bored.
“It’s impossible.”
“… … is it.”
“Odin was busy killing demons. So we needed to show the world that Beelzebub was fine, no matter what his condition actually was. If the Seven Deadly Sins are shaken, the Demon World will be over. Especially if it’s Baal.”
Through that persuasion, Beelzebub remained among the seven deadly sins.
But from there, Satan’s attitude toward Belphegor changed.
Belphegor spaced out the letters once more. Side by side they were ‘Satan’ and ‘Lucifer.’
“Right now, the Seven Deadly Sins are most powerful among these two.”
“They’re all similar, so aren’t they the Seven Deadly Sins?”
“Similar. But these two are the most heterogeneous next to Baal. They are so well-known to humans that they even have a little bit of faith in them.”
Satan and Lucifer.
The other Seven Deadly Sins are well known, but these two are overwhelmingly famous.
The devil gains power simply because he is well known to people.
“Satan is a smart guy, but he is honest about his feelings. The same goes for his preferences. What he likes is simple. The most powerful one. That’s why he liked Baal, and now he likes Lucifer. Lucifer has some similarities to Satan, so it was easy for them to become friends.”
“The two most powerful of the Seven Deadly Sins have joined forces?”
Belphegor nodded to Frondier’s question.
Frondi tilted his head for a moment at that sight.
Isn’t the power balance of the Seven Deadly Sins already collapsing?
“Actually, if things had continued this way, Satan would have quickly become king. But there was a minor problem there. At least to me, it was a very minor problem.”
“what?”
“After the Baal incident, Lucifer has been thinking highly of me.”
Belphegor was always in the position of an observer.
But it didn’t seem that way to those around him.
Stopping Satan from the war of demons and preventing Baalzebub from being expelled. These two things greatly changed the minds of those around him.
Until then, he was just a lazy demon who said he was one of the Seven Deadly Sins and did nothing.
“Lucifer treats those he doesn’t understand as inferior. It’s natural. He believes he is the strongest. If there is anything that is even slightly different from him, that difference is what makes him weak. That’s what he thinks.”
“… … “This is truly arrogance.”
“So I was the one that Lucifer hated the most.”
Belphegor sighed again.
“For some reason, he suddenly changed his attitude towards me. They say they recognize me the most and all. Especially in front of Satan. ‘Of course I should be the king of demons, but if you want to do it, Belphegor, I will yield.’ Like this.”
Frontier listened to that quietly and thought.
He watches from afar, then shows up when it’s most important to solve a big problem. So the evaluation of those around me began to change.
However, I just want to continue taking on the role of an observer.
… … uh? This is perfect.
