Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 116

27. Fighting with the Giant God (1)

“Slave… In this situation, wouldn’t you use a more purified expression like ‘become a friend’?”

“There is no need for companions, and being a slave is more beneficial than good. But what are you really? “The father of all giants.”

“Yes. Gaigantepa is the father of all giants.”

Deus turned his head and looked at Yulgeum.

Yulgeum looked at Gaigantepa for a moment longer.

“Maybe… he was one of the first giants to be contaminated by mugwort. For a giant, he has high intelligence and is unreasonably large. “But I have never heard of the name Gaigan Tepa.”

“Are you a wise man? You explain to this man. “How much treasure the giant has.”

“I don’t want to get involved. To begin with, giants don’t have any sense of humor. “If you are really the father of all these giants,

I will kill you right away.”

“Why do you hate giants?”

“I’m not interested in the giants of today, but the giants of the first generation are a completely different story. I thought they were all dead…

“I can’t believe they’re all dead. “That can’t be possible.”

“When on earth did you get trapped here? “You might not know it in the early Yin Dynasty.”

There was quite a bit of hostility in Yulgeum’s tone.

For a woman who usually shouts that everything goes smoothly, it was quite a sharp reaction.

“I guess dragons hate giants.”

Gaigantepa shouted in surprise,

“A dragon! Are you saying she is a dragon? “Those accursed beasts are the enemies of our giants!”

“Is that so?”

“Even now, the giant is probably waging a terrible war with the dragons!”

Yulgeum snorted.

“At the beginning of the Silver Age, all of the first generation of giants were already dead. The only ones that survived were subspecies that had lost their intelligence. As each generation passed, our brains degenerated and we

became like monkeys. “He’s just tall. He’s a member of Ri-seok’s tribe.”

“Don’t lie! We are complete human beings!”

“human? “If you are human, why did God abandon you?”

“God! Are we foolishly still believing in delusions like religion? There is no God you speak of. “We have already logically proven that it does not exist.”

“Deus.”

“why?”

“You can kill me.”

“What on earth is this?”

“I told you. “One of the first generation of giants.”

“The fact that they went extinct during the Silver Age…

does that mean they lived for over 70,000 years?”

“70,000 years? “What century is it?”

“666th century.”

“But why 70,000 years? And what is the Silver Age? “Is this the age of silver?”

“These are times of chaos. “I guess he’s really stuck in the old days?”

Yulgeum nodded.

“From what you’re saying, it looks like you didn’t even see the world you lived

in destroyed.”

“Are you a resident of the Gilded Age? Wait a minute, so were all the humans who lived in the Golden Age giants like this?”

“No, these guys…

“I am Adapa. “It is the highest eugenic species of humans

.”

Deus looked back at Yulgeum.

“Should I just kill him? “It’s bad luck to say something.”

“Yes, let’s kill him. “Assuming I didn’t see it.”

“Wait a minute! I understand that you humans are jealous of the higher species

. So let me make a suggestion. If you save me, I will evolve you into a higher species like me. Humanity has evolved over the past 80 centuries to develop a perfect mind and body. If 70,000 years have really passed since then, wouldn’t that be proof of my perfection? “I am still alive with a perfectly young body.”

“That’s really shameless. “Let’s go, I can’t listen to you anymore!”

Yulgeum took his first step.

This room, presumed to be a greenhouse, contained no unusual

objects except for the giant god Igantepa.

“It’s not something to just get angry. I still haven’t been able to shake off the symbol of barbarism called religion, so I understand it, but think about it carefully. “You can obtain Adapa’s body!”

Deus stopped walking again.

He glanced at Gaigantepa and tilted his head and smiled.

“I can’t feel any magical power?”

“Magic power. “What the medieval alchemists used to say!”

“How can you transform humans if you can’t even use magic?”

“It’s genetic metamorphosis!”

“Are you going to say something stupid again?”

“Don’t criticize someone because you don’t understand!”

“Okay, it looks like he has some kind of skill, but I have no intention of becoming Adapa or something, so I’ll just live like this for tens of thousands of years. That would be nice. It’s a perfect body. “It will still be alive and well even after hundreds of thousands of years have passed.”

“Please wait!”

“That’s not the way to call your owner.”

“Who is the master of whom? “I am Adapada, the Highest One!”

“Okay, live for 70,000 more years. Then come back and ask the same question. Do you want to be a slave? Or do you want to live like this?”

“There is no way an ordinary human could live that long!”

“I don’t know what it was like 70,000 years ago, but that’s how we all live these days. Even if it’s not something like that. On the contrary, I will ask. Would you buy technology from 70,000 years ago at a high price? “Think about 70,000 years ago from your time.”

“that!”

Gaigantepa was speechless.

He racked his brain for a while.

He was imprisoned here around the 80th century AD.

The end of the century was the countdown to destruction. The cause was discord with his children.

70,000 years ago, it was a time when humans hunted and ate animals with split spears.

How would you feel if those monkey-like people held out their fists and axes to you and asked you to make a deal?

Gaigantepa pictured the 70,000 years in his mind again.

Even if we had simply maintained civilization in the meantime, things like genetic metamorphosis

might have become common cosmetic procedures performed at local beauty salons.

“Then see you in 70,000 years.”

Deus turned around and greeted me with a refreshed expression.

“Now wait a minute! wait for a sec!”

“That’s not the way to speak to the owner.”

“The owner is too much. “Please at least guarantee me human rights.”

“What are human rights?”

“It is the spirit of freedom, equality and fraternity”.

“Would you grant freedom and equality to slaves?”

“We want a human-to-human employment relationship. “I will serve 10 years without pay.”

“Okay, see you in 70,000 years.”

“Then 100 years!”

“So, someone might come between 70,000 years from now, right? tell that person “If I let you go, I’ll give you 100 years of free service.”

“Then how much do you want?”

“If you have a head, think about it. “How should you treat me for saving you from

the pitiful situation of being trapped here for the next eons ?”

“Eternity is an exaggeration.”

“That’s stupid. From my perspective, you are a fish in a fish tank. I bought this land, right? If we seal the entrance, who will know whether you are in it or not? “It would be simple to imprison you, not for eternity, but for several times that amount of time.”

“Are you planning on doing such a cruel thing?”

“I don’t know what it is like in your era, but this is an era with slaves. There are no such things as human rights. As a human being,

you can just buy and sell it and throw it into the battlefield. Are you in real estate now? Fuhat, since I am tied to the land, it becomes my property along with the land. “Whether I kill you or burn you, that means it’s my freedom.”

“What a barbaric era!”

“Then let’s meet again in Shanghai in 70,000 years. “If I need a servant even then, I’ll hire you.”

Guy Gantepa was engulfed in internal conflict as he watched Deus moving away.

I had no intention of becoming someone’s slave.

But the words tens of thousands of years struck my heart.

When I realized how much time had passed, I found it difficult to stay in this white space even for a minute or a second.

They survived by absorbing lichen and numerous bacteria through their skin.

All my senses were frozen, and I spent a time similar to hibernation.

But the moment I talked to the two people, my biological clock started ticking.

I felt like I couldn’t hold on any longer.

“Wait!”

Deus’s steps did not stop.

I tried to cross the threshold.

“wait for me!”

Deus stopped abruptly and turned around.

I smiled.

Looking at him, Yulgeum said something.

” devil.”

“Do you understand now?”

Deus quickly approached Gaigantepa.

He summoned a piece of paper and thrust it in front of his eyes.

“Slave contract. Please read it carefully and sign.”

“Fixing fine particles! To summon matter without any special machinery. There has indeed been technological progress.”

“What do you think of human greed?”

“You are correct.”

“Read it carefully. “You can at least read the letters, right?”

“of course. There is no way these letters cannot be read in the second common language. The text is so small that it is difficult to read.

“Read it carefully. Don’t regret it later.

“This contract can never be broken.”

“Aren’t you a slave anyway? “The violation of human rights begins from the very beginning, so what difference will reading more make?”

“Why are you so obedient all of a sudden?”

“I can’t live like this anymore. “I will sign.”

Gaigantepa held out his hand. When my fingertips touched the paper, a red light appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

“It appears to be fingerprint recognition.”

“It’s not fingerprints, it’s soul recognition. Then, let’s release it. Can I just pull it out?”

“Yes, but it won’t be easy. “Because the seven Adapas did their best to drive it into the ground.”

Deus grabbed the end of the spear with his hand.

I tried to gently pull it, but it was unmovable.

“It’s not that easy.”

“That’s right.”

“Even if it hurts, just endure it.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“Burn it.”

“Now wait a minute!” At that moment, a tremendous amount of heat

entered the hearts of

the Gaigante faction.

I felt like my entire insides were melting.

However, mercifully, Deus prevented Gaigantepa’s body from burning by sending a wave of cold air with his other hand.

From the person involved, it felt like they had both feet in hell, with the heat of hell and the extreme cold hitting their bodies at the same time.

Deus curled the corners of his mouth as he watched him grit his teeth and hold on.

Yulgeum spoke in a low voice.

“It’s better not to trust him too much.” “For someone like you, you’re quite emotional.”

“of course. “Because the people who destroyed the Golden Age were the Adapas.”

“I guess it was like that.”

“It’s the worst. “They blossomed into a civilization more brilliant than any other era, and just before the ship they built reached God’s land, they fought over the exclusive rights to a few minerals and brought about destruction to all of humanity.”

“You deserve to hate it. “It has nothing to do with me!”

Perhaps because I used excessive force, my voice

became louder.

The heat emanating from Deus’ fingertips eventually began to melt the spear pole.

The boiling molten iron evaporated and disappeared in an instant.

Gaigantepa’s body fell to the ground. Stumbling in pain, he turned his wrist and something that looked like a silver bracelet suddenly appeared.

Yulgeum frowned and said.

“As expected, I still have it.”

“What is that?”

“How should I explain it? “Just try it.”

Yulgeum pushed Deus forward and himself escaped backwards.

At that moment, Gaigantepa quickly stroked the bracelet.

Then he burst into mad laughter.

“Hahaha! Well done kid! I will forgive you for all your sins by taking off just one arm and one leg! “This is my reward for you!”

It was at that moment that lightning struck from his bracelet and enveloped Deus’ body.
