Chapter 211. Orgal’s Negotiation (5)
“…Heir?”
[Go in first.]
After entering the conference room again, Orgal took a deep breath. He seemed unwilling to hide his defeat and injuries from Jin and Murakan.
[Zito wanted me to succeed him from long ago.]
“I heard from Ameris-sama that Jito is a person who wants to rule the world with violence and pain.”
[okay. He once unified the underground like that in ancient times. The basement of those days that I personally experienced… It was a hell that had never unfolded before. There have been numerous tyrants and slayers on the surface, but compared to the time he unified the underground, it’s cute.]
“Why is such a madman trying to make you his successor? It’s not normal for you Kingelo to talk about purification, but the route must be different, right?”
[That I don’t know either. Strangely enough, he was always kind to me. Even though I have never sympathized with his ideology. Maybe it’s because he saw something in me, or maybe there’s no reason at all.]
There might be no reason.
Orgal sincerely thought so. As far as he knew, Zito was more than enough.
“Do you have any idea why Zito woke up?”
[There must be several reasons. Some of the underground forces constantly tried to awaken Jito. Right now, five hundred years ago, during the Battle of the Seongguk, they made a deal with the witch to get Jito’s eyes back. In the end, they’ll be successful. Rokia Ganesto may be related.]
-[Before killing me, Rokia said that her purpose was to revive the sun god. That’s why he killed all of his colleagues and left only Bale alive. They said they would completely erase the current world and restore the normal world again. Did you say it was the original form of the world? Rokia used everything for that. The family, the witch, and even Ziffle.]
-[It is highly likely that Rokia was involved in even the birth of the Mischief this time.]
Jin suddenly recalled what Padler had said just before disappearing.
‘The Demon God and Jito have something in common. If Rokia really wants to erase and rebuild the world, Zito is one of the most appropriate hands.’
Even if Rokia didn’t directly influence Zito’s resurrection, Zito’s pursuit of violence and pain would eventually help her achieve her goals.
[And now… I can’t even describe it as a part of the force. Even the demons, who were like the leader of the anti-Jito faction, are following him.]
“Oh, are you broken by that demon?”
When Murakan laughed, Orgal shrugged.
[This is a person named Paelito Belgasium. In the demon realm, he is a person called the Sword Demon, and the sword he uses, Bascala, has the ability to block power. I was beaten without being able to use my hand properly.]
“Still, you mean that a demon about your size could become bloody so easily just because you lost some power? Ah, are you a little weaker than I thought?”
[Think freely.]
“You haven’t found any news about Rokia yet, right?”
[The person most needed to find Rokia hasn’t arrived yet. I guess we’ll have to talk about it again after he starts working.]
‘He’ meant the ringleader of the Bahmag family in the 3 demon realms of the middle world. As soon as Orgal regained his memory of Rokia, he ordered Chagall Bahma to call him.
“But it’s a bit strange that the demon king named Jito wants an heir.”
[What?]
“If you are perfectly healthy, isn’t there any reason to seek a successor in advance? Of course, he may be a divine being who can kill you at any time, but right now, he is only in the stage of regaining his power, so it means that it is strange that he left the embers alive.”
That was something Orgal hadn’t thought of at all.
[That’s… that’s right.]
“In addition, there is something odd about the assumption that Rokia was involved in Jito’s resurrection. Rokia’s goal is completely different from what Jito pursues: the resurrection of the sun god. But if Jito was resurrected, wouldn’t that mean that Rokia has the means to control Jito? After the world has been destroyed as much as necessary, Jito will have to be abandoned. The same assumptions can be applied to past breasts.”
[That is also correct. I don’t know what kind of world the damn bug wants to achieve through the resurrection of the sun god.]
Anything was far from Kingelo’s ideal. Sanna’s Sun God Cult, Kingelo, an enemy tribe, Rokia. They all want the resurrection of the sun god, but the results they are trying to achieve through him are different.
[I don’t even know what the basis for believing that Jito can be controlled. Right now, it’s all just speculation.]
“Do you have any guesses about the approximate time when one side of the Bongma Wall completely collapses and the underground demons come up?”
[There is nothing strange about the fact that demons come to the surface within a few days.]
“That much?”
[When I went down to the negotiations, to be honest, I never assumed that I would lose. It was because he was convinced that even if the first person in the world of demons appeared, he would have to spend a lot of energy to climb over the cracks in the Bongma wall and climb up to the middle world. However, Paellito wasn’t very tired even after crossing the rift.]
That meant that the crack in the Bongma Wall was much bigger than Orgal expected.
[If he had been exhausted, I wouldn’t have been so vain even considering Bascala. Of course, within a few days is the worst case scenario. I don’t know the exact time. I just have to hope that the ground can prepare for one more day.]
“Are you repairing the Bongma Wall right now?”
[impossible. It’s difficult even to stop the crack in the wall from getting bigger with the power of the big snake right now.]
Ameris didn’t even know that part of the wall was cracked.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to try once?”
[Dangerous. If I go back and talk to the big snake, he’ll probably react the same way I did. The cracks in the Bongma wall will tend to repair when they get close to the big snake, and if the big snake doesn’t have enough strength at that time, side effects will occur
.
[There are only a few things we can expect, Jin Runkandel. The first is that the Bongma Wall lasts much longer than we expected. Second, as you said, there is a reason why Jito is obsessed with the successor. It’s going to disappear soon or that’s the reason.]
“The third is if the ground can handle it even if the underground forces are fully awakened.”
[…okay. For example, Zito is a being with a high possibility of becoming a public enemy like a thug. However, the situation is not suitable for forming a temporary alliance like that time.]
Jiple was already at war with the enemy, and unlike the evil spirit, the power of the underground forces had not yet been properly revealed.
There is no reason to hastily form a temporary alliance. Jin also didn’t want to join hands with enemies who would eventually be eliminated someday.
Above all, Lee Sang came after confirming the truth of a thousand years ago.
Zipple and Runcandel were destined to never exist in the same sky. Even if the Red Horse War is aside, Murakan will never tolerate an alliance with Ziple. The same was true of Jin, the family’s small household owner.
However, as long as he is a ‘public enemy’, he will naturally fight with them unless he joins hands with the underground.
From the perspective of the Barmal Alliance, it was best if the main powers of Zipline, including Elona Ziple, and the underground were destroyed in the process.
“I don’t even think so. There is only one case where the three factions form a temporary alliance again. When Jito brings a greater danger than the evil spirit and has no choice but to choose between the destruction of the world and an alliance.”
[I think so too. Just Gene Runcandel. Our Kingelo wants to make a promise to you.]
“A promise?”
[Even if we don’t form a temporary alliance, we will spare no support if the Barmal Alliance fights the underground.]
“Without any price?”
[Yes. Whether it’s information about the underground or troops. I will apply for anything.]
“Is it an intention to blow your nose without touching your hands?”
[You are also waiting for us to find Rokia with that kind of heart. Let’s use it when we need to use each other.]
Jin shrugged and nodded.
“I’ll help you out for free, but there’s no reason to cut it off. Personally, I’m a little used to getting things for free from Kingelo.”
[…Hearing that makes me want to take back what I just said.]
“My great-grandfather said that the number of days is non-retirement and the number of failures is non-payment. Let’s expect unlimited support without Kingelo’s cost. Also information about Rokia Ganesto.”
It’s nasty, but it was fortunate that Orgal decided that Jin would ‘accept’ the support. Even if it is not an alliance, a connection is clearly necessary.
“I just have to go back. Take care of yourself, Orgal.”
* * *
Tower of stories.
While drinking tea with Elona, Beradin suddenly saw her startled.
“Why is that? Miss Elona.”
“…something mighty has awakened.”
“The Mighty Awakened…? Are you sure you are the enemy?”
“I also thought that the power awakened from the underground would be the enemy, but it’s not. It’s a completely different kind of aura from what you normally feel from them. It is similar to a demon.”
“It’s a demon… You said it was underground for a while. Could it be that Elona-nim is not feeling the same energy right now?”
Elona pointed out the window with her finger far away.
“Even on the other side, I feel an indescribably great power. And this power must be… human.”
Veradin stared at the direction her finger was pointing. The open plains of Theia were visible.
And all of a sudden, after passing through Theia Plain, passing through several kingdoms and unprotected areas, Veradin came up with an idea of a realm. A human figure known to be there.
“…Black Sea?”
At those words, Elona nodded slowly. The power she felt was clearly coming from a human in the Black Sea.
