Tikan.
Jin had just returned to Tikan after subduing three generals in the rift area opened in the Empire.
“There is a person among the kings who have asked for a conversation with you.”
“what?”
“They are Tilias Biceps and Misol Huwan, but they are only pretending to be Jito’s subordinates, and they say they are key executives of the anti-Zito faction.”
“What about Sister and Siris?”
“Both of you are fine. I heard that the two demon kings killed other demon kings during the battle.”
Jin’s eyes lit up.
‘According to Orgal, the core of the anti-Zito faction was Paelito, and he defected… Are there other forces left?’
If true, that’s pretty good news. Jin headed straight to the situation room without even shaking off the ashes and blood from the battlefield.
“Sister Siris. Are you okay?”
Although he had already heard from Jet, Jin first asked how the two were doing.
{Yes, it’s okay, Sogaju. After I exchanged a few words with them, they seem like pretty good friends. Let’s have a good talk. Both of them are next to you.}
“I will refer you to it, sister. This is Gene Runcandel. They said they found me.”
{It’s Tilias Biceps.}
{It’s Misol Huwan. Nice to meet you, Jinrunkandel.}
“Yes, nice to meet you too. It seems that there are still sane demons left in the realm of demons. On the way, I was briefed on the situation. What do you want to talk about with me?”
{Biseps, the anti-Zito alliance. We want to formally ally with the Barmal Alliance on the ground.}
“It’s too fast. What exactly are you doing, how big are you, why do you want to ally with us among the royal forces, what benefits can you give us, and so on. I think there are a lot of things that need to be revealed first.”
{That’s right, Zinrunkandel, Tilias.}
{First of all, what we do is literally resist Zito.} {
Actually, we almost succeeded about 3,000 years ago. Although Paelito left us and ultimately failed.}
“…3,000 years ago? How old are you?”
{I’m over 10,000 years old. But our demons have an oblivion cycle, so they don’t fully enjoy their entire 10,000 years of life.}
“An oblivion cycle?”
{As time goes on, you lose your memories, recover some of them, and repeat this. It’s common to all demons except immortals, usually about once every thousand years. That’s why the original bond is important to demons. Because each of us has to let each other know each other’s forgotten memories. Ask me what I want to forget forever.}
The ‘forgetting cycle’ was a kind of natural phenomenon that only existed in the realm of demons.
And Biseps endured more than 10 cycles of oblivion in over 10,000 years and was still standing up to Jito.
“Um… I don’t fully understand, but I get a rough idea of how it feels. But from now on, whatever the explanation is, I’d prefer Tilias to do it. I’m sorry, but you speak so fast that it’s hard to understand.”
{Okay, I’ll be quiet. Misol Missol. Iron’s habit when acting stupid. Pretend you didn’t hear it just now.}
“Anyway, that means you’ve been resisting Zito for a very long time. If so, how big would that be?”
{It was like that in its heyday. But now… it must be around 1 million.}
“It’s a huge army, isn’t it?”
{However, the number of combatants among them is about 10,000, and most of them are less than 6 stars. There are 11 people with demon lord level fighting power. Of course, that number includes me and Misol.}
“Then what do we do with the remaining 990,000?”
{They are just ordinary people. I work, I take care of my family, I live my life. Most of our lives are fear-stained escapes.}
Ordinary people.
Tilias’ voice echoed a sense of mission.
‘If everything I’m saying is true, then the Biseps have had a struggle similar to ours in the realm of demons. For a much longer time than we do.’
Most of the 10,000 combatants are less than 6 stars.
Of course, he could be called a great army, but compared to the demons facing the barrier and the high-ranking demons who kept escaping from the cracks, it was new blood.
However, since all 11 demon lords would have superhuman fighting power, that alone was worth it to form an alliance. Even among those demon lords, there were those who held the highest rank within Jito-kun, such as Tilias and Misol.
“How can you prove it?”
{Not at this time. It is because this is the best way to communicate by communication. Here, even if I block Sakiel’s crystal ball with my authority, I will not be suspicious. You’d think it was to prevent the space leap and communication between Baek Kyung and Sogungju during the battle. However, if Sakiel’s vision is blocked even beyond Kikaro, there is no choice but to be suspicious.}
As long as Tilias does not have a special power to block the power, Sakiel can use a crystal ball to show most of the demons anywhere. could take a look
{Due to our position as spies, it will be difficult to prove anything to you in the future. Both of us have to be really careful about contacting the main body of Biseps. In the first place, all of our hideouts are in the Demon Realm, so you can’t see them with your own eyes at this point.}
Does that mean I can only do business on credit with you anyway?”
{Rather than trust… it would be nice to express it as trust. Whether you believe it or not, we really are showing all hands. We are risking our lives and the lives of our comrades in this conversation. Are there any record wizards among you? What do you think will happen if he makes a record of today’s conversation and brings
it to the sea base in Jinmagye ?
{More than that. It cannot die and becomes a plaything of pain forever. Like our families in captivity…}
“Family?”
{More than half of the members of Biseps are blood relatives or lovers… someone precious to Zito. Maybe more than half of them went through the cycle of oblivion, and there are people who have forgotten even the existence of their captive family forever
. Yuria tried to determine if Tilias and Misol’s words were true, but Az Mill’s authority did not apply to communication.
‘Faith…’
Jin repeated the words for a few seconds, imagining Tilias and Misol on the other side of the communicator. A face that can be felt beyond a calm voice. Hard eyes that have gone through a long and desperate struggle. It was portrayed like that. Luna felt that way too, so she should have expressed it like ‘good friends’.
“Why did you choose us? Have you ever had contact with Ziffle or Kingelo?”
{For two reasons. The first was the judgment that among the great powers of the human race, you were a group with a personality at least a little similar to our Biceps. Second, there was no time to contact Ziffle and Kingelo. Also, Sakiel is a keen one. If Misol and I competed in the realm of each giant power and came back intact every time, they would surely be suspicious
.
{It did. I can’t remember all of them, but I’m sure Biseps never gambled as badly as he does today in more than 10 cycles of forgetting.} “
Now it’s time to explain the benefits. What benefits do we get from allying with you?”
{You get a means to kill Zito.}
“What is that means?”
{I can’t tell you that yet.}
“Did you just forget about God first?”
{From our point of view, it is a minimum safety device. What if you snitch on us? It’s not just me and Misol that are finished. The only card that can kill Zito will also disappear. I can’t lie to you either. After the trust has deepened, you will have to tell the truth, but then you might get angry and change your mind.}
“You talk quite well. It makes the other person want to believe it.”
{Of course, the means to kill Jito is the most important, but it is not the only one. Misol and I are demon lords, so whenever we get a chance, we can leak important inside information to you. For example… Recently, the Jin Demon World has been frantic to completely exhaust the red power of Baek Kyung.}
“Your sister’s red power?”
{Yes, Zito seems to have judged that the red power is a threat to him. Maybe it was Paellito’s judgment, not Zito’s, but… it was relayed to the demon lords as Zito’s order. That’s why the Demon Kings brought flesh today.}
“What kind of trouble will happen to my sister if the red power is exhausted? Does the Jin Demon Realm know exactly what it is about?”
{That’s the information we’re looking for through the main figures on the Paellito side. What is certain is that the Jinma World wants the white whale to lose its red power. That can’t be good for you.}
Jin also had concerns about Luna’s red power. Although I concluded that it would be fine since Chiron had not otherwise left a story about the danger.
“That’s something I never thought of.”
{Me and Missol, the dead Weiss and Kukan are the vanguard. In the future, demon kings and generals will continue to fight to get rid of the red power of the white whale. Even if they find out that they are expendable, they can’t disobey Zito’s orders.}
“Is it because they’re held hostage like you Biceps?”
{No, because it is brainwashed. Most of Zito’s men are now brainwashed by pain. To the pain that can never be forgotten even if the cycle of oblivion comes. That’s why there are many high-ranking demons whose intelligence or abilities are not normal. Haven’t you ever felt something strange while dealing with them?} {
Ah, so it seems that the guys who came this time seemed to be a bit less advanced.}
{That’s right, Baek Kyung. The Zikalo you dealt with before was relatively completely brainwashed.}
“Then, if there was a way to undo the brainwashing, wouldn’t it be possible to destroy Zito’s power base? I think it has something to do with the means to kill Jito you mentioned.”
{Sorry, but I got it wrong. We’ve been looking for a way for a long time… but even the witch said that Zito’s brainwashing couldn’t be solved. If a witch can’t do it, no one in this world can do it. Unless the dead sun god is resurrected. Oh, as I said beforehand, we absolutely oppose the resurrection of the sun god.}
“I like that part too. Okay then let me ask you one last question.”
{…what is it?}
“The reason Biseps chose us as an ally is the size and history of Biseps. But what do you want from us?”
{Ask for the obvious… Fight with us. Until Zito disappears from this world.}
“That’s too big a promise right now. But we will fight until Jito is defeated regardless of you in the first place. Instead, one thing is for sure. There is nothing that will go into the ears of the demons of the real demon world today. I swear by the family name.”
{Then, when the moment comes when we can show true loyalty to each other after fighting in our respective positions. Can you understand this as meaning that we should talk formally again?}
“Yes, Tilias Biceps Misol Huwan.”
{That’s enough. I think it would be a good idea to end communication now. Just Gene Runcandel. Regardless of what you think of us, we will regard you as allies from now on and carry out all operations.}
The moment Jin tried to answer, the communication was cut off. Jin smiled as he looked at the communication device that had stopped vibrating.
“Like you said, they seem to be pretty good friends.”
