## Chapter 427 (Part 2). One Man, Two Roles, and the Chaotic Demon World
<<Did the Cult of the God of Chaos appear in the Demon World?>>
The message came from Aurora, leader of the Mediators Alliance.
As the only living descendant of the previous Demon King and opponent of the current one, Cale needed to hear the details.
Ding!
Another message arrived immediately after:
<<The informant was Choi Jung Soo, who is currently unreachable. Based on the content, it seems communication was forcibly cut off. An emergency is likely. His last known location is the Demon World.>>
Cale's face tightened.
He remembered something from the past:
"I'll soon send two people there."
Choi Sun-hee, CEO of the Third District's Sun Corporation and Alberu's secretary, had been informed that Choi Jung Soo and Sui Khan would go to help them.
Of course, Cale had sent them a message.
"They said they understood, but..."
However, the two never reached the Third District.
And Cale hadn't had time to worry about it.
"They'll surely figure it out on their own."
To be honest, Cale considered Choi Jung Soo and Sui Khan (formerly Kim Rok Soo) to be superior in certain missions compared to the companions he had met as Cale.
—Ha.
Cale sighed.
His head was starting to ache.
Originally, before assigning them the Third District mission, he had already entrusted them with other tasks.
"The 'team leader' (Sui Khan), investigate the Cult of Chaos."
He had asked him to gather information about them.
And Choi Jung Soo...
"The Demon World."
He had tasked him with investigating the Demon World.
Since both had connections to the Divine World, they could obtain more information.
—......
Choi Han's face hardened as he read the message. Without realizing it, he opened his mouth to say something, but someone else spoke first.
—Choi Jung Soo...
It was Cale.
—Is Choi Jung Soo in an emergency...?
The corner of his lips curved upwards.
Choi Han swallowed and closed his mouth.
—We'll have to go to the Demon World immediately.
No one objected to Cale's words, spoken with a smile.
—Eruhaben-nim, come later with Ron and Beacrox.
Apitoyu.
Cale planned to receive a report on the reconstruction of that world.
—Also tell Lock that I'll deliver the Sacred Object later. Or that he should go to the Demon World to get it.
He also planned to send a Sacred Object for the Blue Wolf through Lock.
—And let's check the portal afterwards.
The portal in Black Castle.
It had been completed correctly, and with the New World becoming a real world, it had been improved.
He wanted to verify it.
If that portal was superior to the one created by Dragon Lord Neo of the Purple Blood Family, his possibilities would be endless.
"We could get help from all the worlds."
If they could bring the powerful beings from the worlds that Cale and his group had helped...
"We could overwhelm them with numbers."
Both the Hunters, the Cult of Chaos, and the Demon World would be outnumbered.
"We could also get help from our world."
The Nameless World 1.
Cale's home, where numerous kingdoms existed, including Raon's.
Maybe they could even call on some allies from there.
Cale wanted to confirm all that, but...
—Then we'll go first.
He bid farewell to Eruhaben and set off for the Demon World with the others.
Choi Jung Soo.
Unreachable?
While delivering information about the Cult of Chaos in the Demon World?
—Jaja...
Cale let out an involuntary laugh.
—Choi Han, Choi Han!
Raon spoke hurriedly to Choi Han.
—Our human is angry, VERY angry! It seems like he's going to destroy everything!
Then, Raon was startled again.
—Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Demon!
Raon spoke to the Heavenly Demon, whom he wasn't even close to.
—Choi Han and our human are furious!
In reality, neither the Heavenly Demon nor Eruhaben knew the relationship between Choi Jung Soo and Cale well.
They could only guess based on Cale's actions.
—H-human! Let's go quickly!
Meow! Meow!
The group (without Eden Miru, with an average age of 10 years) supported Cale, who responded to Aurora and arrived in the Demon World.
—Welcome.
Aurora, leader of the Mediators Alliance, greeted Cale.
Seeing his expression, she immediately began to walk.
—I'll explain on the way to where Choi Jung Gun is.
Cotton, the former war saint who had brought them to the Demon World, withdrew.
Cale couldn't pay attention to her.
—Also, Sui Khan just sent a message.
That caught Cale's interest.
The Cult of the God of Chaos.
Sui Khan, who was investigating it, had sent a message.
And he sent it to Aurora, not Cale?
"Something happened to Choi Jung Soo or the 'team leader'."
Aurora pointed to the sky.
—There's the message.
Cale looked up.
—Mmm...
Raon reacted.
—Human, it's a hawk!
A black hawk was flying in circles.
—There was a letter tied to its leg.
Aurora took out a piece of torn cloth and handed it to Cale as they walked.
—Wow! It's the village chief!
—Who are they?
Children came out from everywhere to greet Aurora.
They were the villagers that Cale and his group had saved from being executed by the Demon King's army.
They had settled in a secret place with the Mediators Alliance members.
—Don't bother the chief and come here!
—Oh, these kids! Excuse me, chief!
The adults, noticing the atmosphere, hurried to take the children away.
Unlike the children, the adults knew Aurora's true identity and were cautious.
Besides, they had already been warned:
"Those who truly saved you are about to arrive."
They were asked to be discreet.
The Demon King's army, especially the 8 central divisions, was powerful.
The villagers wanted to help their true saviors.
—......
Aurora just nodded briefly.
Normally, even if she was exhausted, she always smiled when greeting them.
Her seriousness made even the children quiet.
Rustling of cloth.
Cale unfolded the piece of torn cloth.
<<Please deliver this to Cale Henituse.>>
It was Sui Khan's handwriting, or rather, "team leader" Lee Soo Hyuk's.
Even reborn, his handwriting was the same.
He even used hangul.
"In case they intercepted it."
The message, written in blood, was extensive.
"Blood."
How serious was the situation for Sui Khan to do this?
—......
Cale's expression hardened as he read.
He even stopped walking.
<<The Cult of the God of Chaos infiltrated the Demon World.>>
<<The Pope is suspected to be here.>>
Did the New World have a Saint and the Demon World a Pope?
<<Currently tracking a force similar to the Holy Knights (2 at Choi Jung Soo's level, ~100 knights of average skill).>>
Two people at Choi Jung Soo's level?
And about a hundred knights of average skill?
For Cale, "average skill" referred to the standard Lee Soo Hyuk used in his past life as Kim Rok Soo.
Something like...
"Beacrox or Rosalyn's initial level."
About a hundred of that level.
"And two at Choi Jung Soo's current level?"
Not from the past, but the present.
—Ha.
Cale was exasperated, but he understood.
"If they're stealthily tracking a force like that, Sui Khan has no choice but to move secretly."
Using old methods, like hawks, was better than risking detection with magic.
<<Choi Jung Soo is unreachable. Please check.>>
Sui Khan was also worried about Choi Jung Soo.
<<You can follow the hawk to find my location.>>
The black hawk flying over the village.
Following it, they could find the last place where Sui Khan was.
"He surely left marks for the next destination."
Sui Khan wasn't careless.
Cale's gaze went to the end of the message.
One phrase stood out:
<<I'm fine.>>
Pfft.
Cale let out a laugh.
—Same as always.
In his past life, he had received messages like this many times.
In areas riddled with monsters, with worse communications, Sui Khan always ended his messages the same way.
"I'm fine."
That's why Cale knew the truth.
—He'll soon be in danger.
After these messages, Sui Khan always ended up injured.
Steps.
Cale resumed his march.
Aurora also continued:
—That's where Choi Jung Gun is.
In the heart of the village, hidden among trees, was a building similar to a temple.
Buzzing...
As they approached, a vibration could be felt.
It was the magic barrier protecting Choi Jung Gun from the corruption of chaos.
—As soon as we received Choi Jung Soo's message, we investigated the traces of the Cult of Chaos.
Aurora didn't stop talking.
—But we didn't find anything.
The Mediators Alliance, after meeting with Count Lupeh, gained access to his trade network.
That meant wealth and an invaluable source of information.
The information network of the Demon World's major merchants was immense.
And even so, they found nothing.
That is...
—I don't know the situation in the Demon King's palace, but neither the lesser nobles, nor the common demons, nor even the Upper World knows anything about the Cult of Chaos.
She added:
—Except, of course, for the rumors of 'Arm' that we ourselves spread.
The secret faction of the Cult of Chaos, "Arm."
That was different.
—But there is a rumor.
Cale's gaze fixed on Aurora.
They were already in front of the sealed building where Choi Jung Gun was.
Few could enter.
—In some villages and cities, there's talk of a "gray disease."
Gray disease.
Cale's eyes gleamed.
—Since the Demon World's mana is gray, some say it's a related disease, but I think we should investigate.
Aurora didn't know the symptoms or cause, but something occurred to Cale when he heard the name.
—It reminds me of the corruption of chaos.
No one refuted his words.
Cale remembered the "Chaos Purification" skill he had seen in the game before leaving.
Although he couldn't use it as a skill, he instinctively understood how it worked.
And its requirements:
[Skill: Chaos Purification]
[A purification ritual must be performed.]
As Sui Khan discovered, a ritual was needed to use purification.
"And I know that ritual."
Cale knew it.
—Let's go in.
Steps.
Cale entered the building where Choi Jung Gun was.
<<I'm fine.>>
Along with that phrase, there was one last line:
<<It seems the God of Chaos wants to be the only god where divinity's hand doesn't reach.>>
Where divinity's hand doesn't reach.
The Demon World.
The Demon World awaits a Demon God.
And the New World had also been untouched by the gods... until now.
An Absolute God would soon be born there.
The God of Chaos.
That explained why he wanted to manifest in the New World.
And why he was in the Demon World.
The Cult of Chaos.
It existed wherever there was chaos.
And now they wanted to corrupt the entire world.
—......
He observed Choi Jung Gun, who lay as if in a deep sleep. His body was grayer than before, with corrupted veins grotesquely protruding.
He even seemed to be oozing a dark liquid.
Weak breathing.
His breathing was fainter than before.
So weak that it could stop at any moment.
Although they had arrived sooner than expected, Choi Jung Gun was in bad shape.
—First...
Tracking Sui Khan, gathering information, finding Choi Jung Soo...
They could do all that with their companions.
But first and foremost...
Cale looked at Choi Jung Gun and said:
—Let's save you first.
He left the building and told Aurora:
—Let's organize a festival in the village.
Chaos Purification.
He had a feeling they would need it a lot.
Although he didn't yet know what that ritual would bring to the village...
Or the Demon World.
Lo que traerá el ritual, será 10000 veces mejor que otra opción, nuestro Cale siempre que hace algo, lo hace a lo grande, muchas gracias querido traductor, saludos desde Chile 😘
