Chapter 153: Date (9)
The demons in Nippur.
Among them, Mammon’s demons—who were currently pushing a plan to turn Earth’s Awakeners into their minions through artifacts—felt that while there were some hitches, things were progressing positively and according to plan.
Once they became Ego Artifacts, Mammon’s demons could not communicate directly from Earth with the demons back in Nippur. To make contact, they had to enter the portals sent from Nippur.
Some of the Ego Artifacts who had achieved complete possession entered these portals to report the current situation on Earth and receive their next orders within the dungeons. Through this process, those in Nippur were able to grasp the state of affairs on Earth.
Although there were more cases than expected where the existence of Ego Artifacts was discovered prematurely, it was still considered a net gain that certain regions were successfully hiding them and steadily creating demonic minions.
Furthermore, the demons took particular notice of the Moon Shadow Party among the information collected by the Ego Artifacts. This was the group that had played a major role in destroying the Black Spire recently erected in Aokigahara, Japan.
They already knew from the logs transmitted from the dungeons that Laysia, a follower of Tiamat, was on Earth. Consequently, they had suspected the presence of other Benevolent God forces, and now they had confirmed their identity.
Mammon’s demons on Earth gathered information indiscriminately to investigate the Moon Shadow Party. They looked into how much power they possessed, their numbers, their combat styles, their areas of activity, and so on.
Through this gathered intelligence, the demons realized that the Benevolent God forces were remarkably small and were not operating with complete freedom. They had already inferred from previous logs that the Benevolent God forces had recently appeared on Earth, and Mammon’s demons had now confirmed it.
Encouraged by the fact that the plan to turn Earth's Awakeners into minions via Ego Artifacts was going relatively well, the atmosphere among the demons was significantly better than before.
"Let's prioritize opening the passage while avoiding those pests as much as possible."
"That would be wise."
After hearing from Mammon’s demons, the demons in Nippur held a discussion and decided to proceed with their work while avoiding those suspected to be Tiamat’s followers.
The demons judged that the Benevolent God forces, including Laysia, did not currently possess their full power. If they had their complete strength, the demons who had tried to build the Black Spire and establish a base in Aokigahara would have been crushed even more unilaterally.
Based on the information regarding how those battles unfolded, the demons knew for certain that the Benevolent God forces were in a state where their power was restricted. If the main force of the demons in Nippur could invade Earth immediately, eliminating them would be child's play.
However, that was currently impossible. Ultimately, the priority was to somehow punch a hole in the Dimensional Barrier to facilitate movement between Earth and Nippur.
Mammon’s demons on Earth identified regions they had previously only known as coordinates—regions that served as the backbone of the Dimensional Barrier’s structure, much like Japan, where weakening them would compromise the barrier itself.
Korea, Japan, and the UK.
However, they knew the Moon Shadow Party was active in Korea and Japan. Naturally, Mammon’s demons turned their gaze toward the UK.
Even when they had sent demons into Aokigahara, Japan, they had created and sent many portals to the UK as well. At that time, all the portals were cleared, so no Dimension Bombs detonated, resulting in little damage.
The demons knew that starting something in the UK would have a high probability of success, but the UK had already tracked down and eliminated all the large clans that had become demonic minions through Ego Artifacts.
Since there were no large clans left in the UK that had fallen under their sway, the demons needed large clans from other countries to enter the UK to proceed with their work.
Fortunately for the demons, they had already created a large number of minions in France. France also had a severe obsession with artifacts, and because of this, more than half of the French large clan leaders had become demonic minions.
The Ego Artifacts had seized control of them.
Mammon’s demons set their sights on entering the UK to open a passage between Nippur and Earth and began to formulate their plan.

The movie ended, and the lights in the theater flickered on.
In the end, Han Shin hadn't been able to watch the movie properly.
While the film was playing, his eyes kept drifting toward Kang Yujin in her school uniform, making it impossible to focus. Then, he had missed a large chunk of the middle while receiving a blowjob from her.
Even after the blowjob, until the movie ended, Kang Yujin had leaned against him, begging for light kisses and continuing to touch him playfully.
Thanks to that, Han Shin was currently experiencing a blissful hell—constantly stimulated and building up an unresolvable desire in a place where he couldn't possibly ravish her.
Though Han Shin and Kang Yujin hadn't watched the movie properly, the other audience members were leaving while discussing the film, suggesting it had been quite good.
Han Shin and Kang Yujin waited until all the other spectators had filtered out. During that time, Han Shin struggled to calm his aroused state. It would be difficult to walk out like this.
Seeing him like that, Kang Yujin felt a slight sense of guilt.
"I'm sorry, Shin-a."
At her brief apology, Han Shin merely nodded without answering. He was consciously trying not to look at her while attempting to settle his raging cock.
Once he had calmed down to some extent, the two of them quietly left the cinema, finding that the crowds had grown significantly in the meantime. Since it was lunchtime, the foot traffic had increased, and they walked through the throng of people.
Because Kang Yujin was in a school uniform, she drew some attention, but thanks to the Perception Distortion Artifact, people soon turned their heads away, and she faded from their memories.
The artifact’s effect was excellent; it made the wearer be perceived as an incredibly average-looking person, ensuring that their exact facial features or body shape couldn't be remembered, thus hiding their identity.
However, the artifact wasn't omnipotent and had one weakness. It could create a sense of dissonance for Awakeners with sensitive perceptions, giving them enough reason to be suspicious.
Fortunately, they hadn't encountered any such Awakeners yet. Most powerful Awakeners of that caliber lived in Seoul, and there were no Awakeners of that level in Sejong City.
Han Shin and Kang Yujin headed toward the parking lot where she had parked her car. She had brought the car from the safe house specifically to wear the school uniform, and they went straight there as soon as they left the theater.
The two didn't say much. Han Shin was struggling to suppress his boiling sexual desire, and Kang Yujin, noticing his state, didn't force a conversation.
In truth, Kang Yujin’s original plan had been to go to the movies, have lunch, and then visit a karaoke bar or an arcade, just like she used to do in high school.
However, because she had given Han Shin a blowjob during the movie and had continued to tease him afterward, she realized he was extremely stimulated and aroused.
She knew that although Han Shin was trying to suppress and calm his lust, it was a forced restraint, and the fire had not been extinguished.
So, Kang Yujin decided to take Han Shin to her car and head straight to her safe house. It was located on the outskirts of Sejong City, so it didn't take long to get there once they left the downtown area.
Han Shin saw a sleekly designed, black, rectangular three-story building. But he didn't have the mental capacity to care about where they were.
I want to... I want to ravish Noona right now.
The only thought in Han Shin’s head was the desire to possess the black-haired woman in a ponytail and school uniform who was currently parking the car in the first-floor garage.
Kang Yujin operated a remote to open the main gate of the safe house. The mechanical door slid open to the left and right, and as soon as she drove in, the gate closed behind them.
Then, she operated it again to open the iron door next to the building's entrance. Kang Yujin’s safe house had a garage on the first floor that could fit only one car, a design intended to minimize external exposure.
After safely parking the car, Kang Yujin unfastened her seatbelt and spoke to Han Shin.
"Shin-a, we're here. You can get out now."
"Yeah..."
Han Shin got out with Kang Yujin and followed her into the safe house she had prepared specifically for her activities as Wolyeong.
