Chapter 289
Leo, who was in a position where his identity as a Sin could be exposed at any moment, struggled to make excuses.
“Look. Yu Eunha has always used anti-Apostle sentiments to pressure the Apostles. Hasn’t she openly picked fights with me in particular?”
“So what of it?”
“Usually in these cases, we need the culprit to explain it themselves. Lucius didn’t come out on TV and state this directly. It’s just the Baekhwa Cult’s claim.”
He didn’t know how Yu Eunha found out, but frankly, this was meaningless.
“Can we trust you?”
“Of course! You have to trust me!”
He had an image he had built up over the years.
Yu Eunha was probably trying to use this incident to cut him down, not just the Apostles.
“We have a big problem!”
“What is it now?”
“A massive number of monsters are attacking Sky Island!”
The Apostles expressed their irritation at the trembling voices of the Apostle Imperial Guard defending Sky Island.
“What are you talking about?”
Attacking the island - just what kind of idiots were they?
The Apostles left the fortress and went to the edge of the island to look outside.
“We’re completely surrounded on all sides.”
Before they knew it, the island was blocked off from every direction.
And from among those monsters, the woman covered in black, her face obscured, appeared.
“Leo! You son of a bitch, worse than a dog! It’s already a disadvantageous war, and you told Lucius to launch a surprise attack on Songdo? You brain-dead bastard! I can’t work with you anymore! It’s either you die or I live right here!”
It was the Sin of Envy, Magra.
Magra had attacked using the underground monsters she had been raising.
It was true that the surprise attack on Songdo had failed, and it was a blunder. But they never imagined Magra would betray them.
“Of all times, this stupid bitch!”
Leo’s face contorted miserably.
No. It wasn’t over yet.
He was an Apostle. And Yu Eunha was a villain. He didn’t know how this happened, but there was still a way out.
In other words, he just had to turn the tables and corner Yu Eunha instead.
“How are you going to explain this now? That?”
“You must not forget that Yu Eunha is a villain. Yu Eunha is the one who colluded with the Sins to target me.”
They were sending him increasingly suspicious glances. But he could still hold on.
“Yu Eunha is targeting you?”
“Make some sense, you stupid bastard. Do you think you’re some big shot? Yu Eunha would target the Apostles as a whole, why would she target you? You rock-headed bastard.”
To the younger Apostles, Leo’s excuses looked pathetic.
It was only natural, considering the guy who had been so confident who had never made excuses until now was suddenly cornering Yu Eunha, claiming she orchestrated everything.
It reeked of suspicion just from looking at it.
“You have to believe my words!”
“Still, he has a point. Yu Eunha’s strength at her age can’t be explained, can it? What if Yu Eunha is a Sin?”
An old man who had previous friction with Yu Eunha questioned where her strength came from.
Such strength at that age made no sense.
“That’s right. We should be investigating Yu Eunha instead.”
He intended to somehow ride this momentum to pressure Yu Eunha in return, but…
“Sin Leo! You disgusting bastard hiding in the back while acting all smart! All you know how to do is play with your dick, right?”
A new interloper appeared.
The Sin of Greed, Johanna.
Johanna had shown up leading the animal Monster Legion she had raised in the eastern Ural Mountains.
“Who is that now?”
“You treat the others like idiots while doing absolutely nothing yourself, you absolute trash of a Sin! I can’t work with you either!”
To think she would appear at a time like this.
Human psychology was a funny thing.
Even if they could somehow overlook the first one, a new Sin had appeared and was calling Leo a comrade. It was a highly suspicious situation.
“No, this situation is turning out too weird. Shouldn’t we first investigate you, Leo, before investigating Yu Eunha?”
“What are you saying? No matter how much you dislike me, this is…”
It wasn’t a matter of disliking him or not.
Anyone could see that Leo was the more suspicious one here.
“This or that, whatever. You’re being cornered this much. Shouldn’t you explain yourself? Confronting Yu Eunha comes after that.”
Investigating Yu Eunha was impossible as it was based purely on circumstantial evidence. But anyone could see the Sins were dragging Leo down with them.
“That’s true. Frankly speaking, how would the world react if we interrogated Yu Eunha? Even Yu Eunha is the one who caught Gluttony. Framing such a woman as a sin? This alone would make things harder for us when the anti-Apostle factions are already running rampant.”
Yu Eunha was currently no different from the world’s top idol.
She had the looks, an easygoing personality, and she was strong too.
Furthermore, she had even restored the Erosion Zones using the Baekhwa Cult she took over from Baekhwa.
Even if such a being were a Sin, it would be difficult to frame her as the culprit.
“That is…”
“Come to think of it, doesn’t the Apostle dispatched to the United States excel at lie detection? If you are truly being honest, let’s investigate you first.”
Things were flowing strangely.
To think Lucius would be caught, and Magra, along with Johanna - who should be whining under a man - would come leading a legion looking for him.
'Are they all really betraying me like this? Damn it, what am I supposed to do alone? If it turns out like this, I won’t be able to carry on His will.'
No, calling it a betrayal was a bit nuanced.
Because the Sins kept each other in check, he had stepped back to do Affection Farming among the Apostles, and there wasn’t much left to do.
For now, making an excuse was the priority.
“That is. The thing is.”
“What is it? Are you really not a Sin?”
Slowly, even the older Apostles began to doubt him.
If it came to this, leaving this place was more important.
No matter how strong he was, it would be difficult to antagonize the Apostles in a place where they were gathered like this.
If explaining himself was a lost cause anyway, wouldn’t it be a good idea to run away from here and reveal his true identity?
Just as Leo was figuring out a way to escape, the Apostles were figuring out how to stop the monsters.
“Let’s take care of those things first.”
“What should we do? The island will be smashed to pieces if we fight things like that.”
There were far too many of them.
Moreover, they weren’t ordinary monsters.
monsters of various appearances clung to Sky Island.
“To think they’d target us now, of all times, while we’re on the ground.”
“Catching them all won’t be difficult, but… Groan.”
“Even if we take some damage, let’s take them down first.”
Before they knew it, the Sins' monsters were swarming Sky Island.
They had to catch them first before they could interrogate Leo or do anything else.
However, after successfully defending against the monsters, Leo vanished.
* * *
Apostle Leo had vanished.
A few days ago, Sky Island was overrun by the Army of Sin.
At that time, the Apostles suspected Leo of being a Sin. Conversely, Leo seemed to have failed in his attempt to frame me as a Sin by claiming it was a setup.
As a result, Leo ran away.
He ran away because he couldn’t explain himself.
Then again, since there was someone among the Apostles who could judge truth from lies, it would have been over the moment he was caught.
Of course, if that had happened, Leo would have slaughtered all the Apostles.
Or maybe the Apostles would have defeated Leo while dying in the process.
“Hmm. This just proves that Leo was a Sin after all.”
“It’s best to be careful from now on. We don’t know where he bounced off to.”
Choi Siwoo, who was resting in my arms, offered her advice.
Where could he be?
She’d probably come to Korea, though.
“What are you going to do? Isn’t it dangerous if Leo goes into hiding like this?”
“Well, probably not.”
Given his setting as a Sin, he would eventually have no choice but to crawl out on his own.
He didn’t exactly have anywhere to hide, either.
From Leo’s perspective, he’d probably aim for something now before we get any stronger. He might even come to take Lucius back.
“He’ll end up invading in the near future.”
“Yeah. I think it’d be best to stop him then.”
Choi Siwoo nodded at my words.
For now, it seemed best to completely take over Earth before that happened.
Since Magra and Johanna had also done their part and pulled back.
“Come to think of it, how was Leo before?”
“The previous Leo was like this. At the point when Lucius was defeated, he allied with the other Sins and attacked Korea.”
“You couldn’t hold out.”
Korea in the original work would have been absurdly weak compared to the current Korea.
It would have been difficult for Choi Siwoo or a small number of people to stop it.
“Yeah. Honestly, it was really tough. If it were just Leo, maybe, but the Legion of Sin is different from ordinary monsters and Mutants.”
“Right.”
It must have been very difficult.
But things were different now.
Choi Siwoo had become Lust, I had become Gluttony, and we had acquired a fighting force that overwhelmed the Sins.
Besides, all the Female Sins were in my hands.
And I diligently kneaded Choi Siwoo’s breasts.
I could afford to have a little bit of leisure, couldn’t I?
“Hehehe. This piercing suits you well.”
Jingle.
I had even attached a small bell to Choi Siwoo’s piercing.
Now, if a bell rang nearby, I would know that Choi Siwoo had appeared!
“Should I attach a bell to the piercing on this pussy too?”
“Aang. That’s a bit…”
“You don’t want to? I’m saying I’ll attach a bell to your pussy, and you’re refusing me right now??”
What a slutty bitch.
Where did a pervert bitch who pierced her pussy just to feel pleasure through Lust’s Passive Skill get off refusing?
“Haeuk. Eung. I can’t refuse when you put it like that.”
I fondled her perky breasts to my heart’s content.
“Of course. You’re mine, remember? Where do you get off still trying to act like the protagonist? Right?”
As long as I was here. As long as Choi Siwoo had willingly become a female.
The protagonist was ultimately me, not Siwoo.
Siwoo just needed to moan beneath me.
“Eung. I’m yours.”
“Hehehe. Where did you learn to smoke after sex?”
Resting naked in my arms, she held a cigarette in one hand.
Come to think of it, there was a time when I thought post-sex cigarettes tasted good.
Thinking that my woman was doing this gave me a strange feeling.
The smell of smoke wafting from her mouth was turning me on.
No, really. To think Choi Siwoo, with her image as a hero, had become such a pet/bitch. She even took up smoking to match my style.
“That’s because Si-ah left it lit.”
“You really look ridiculous. Our Siwoo. If the old you saw this, you’d think you looked like a prostitute, wouldn’t you?”
“Haang. That’s because I didn’t know being handled by you would feel this good.”
Well, that made sense.
I could fully understand.
“It’s only normal to become corrupted like this once you get caught by me in a female body.”
“R. Right.”
“Even so. You really look like a delinquent older sister wandering around the neighborhood in dolphin shorts, you know? And I don’t like a woman whose mouth smells like cigarettes.”
Well, she had tattoos and piercings under there too. She was just a slutty bitch.
“Then should I not smoke?”
“Ufufu. Still, there should be at least one character like this among the heroines. Would that be hotter?”
It was always good to have a delinquent-like concept too.
Besides, I used to smoke too, even if I’ve cut back recently.
There wasn’t much difference between Siwoo and me.
“W-Wait, kissing me while touching me like that - hup.”
Slurp.
Seeing her get wet while kissing with a cigarette in one hand was beyond ridiculous.
Who would think someone like this was a Divine Sword User and a hero?
Absolutely no one.
Should I try something new?
