Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 177
40. Humans leave for the demon world, and the demon king returns as royalties (5)
“It’s worth eating.”
“yes? “Nowadays, there is no pleasure in living in this world except for delicious food.”
“You have a very lonely life too.”
“What’s different there?”
” me?”
Alex chimed in.
“It’s different! Doesn’t your lord have a child now?”
Death flashed in Deus’ eyes.
“Why is that being mentioned here?”
“If you have a family, you won’t be lonely.”
Yulgeum sighed heavily.
“That will happen.”
“Why don’t you make it too?”
“You mean the kid?”
“family! Are you not thinking about starting a family? Anyway, why do kids these days have such little sense of chastity?”
“You take a 10-year-old and do something to him and then you talk about chastity. So what are you going to do about it? Are you going to get SIGNI maintenance
? “Do demons have such a concept?”
Alex answered on his behalf.
“The devil does not marry. “Every woman in the world belongs to him.”
“I heard that’s true?”
“He was rich. Become richer.”
“I told you not to be angry with me. Was I born like this because I wanted to be born like this? What should I do when the Demon King came to be like that and ate it? “I’ve explained the SIGNI thing to you several times.”
“Why are you explaining this to me so passionately?”
” huh?”
“You’re just the head of an ally, right?”
“That’s right. Anyway, the Four Gods of Death, please come back.”
“Oh, I forgot to mention that. So… Ah! “This is really delicious too.”
“This damn woman.”
“Sorry sorry. So the Shinigami Beast is just a tool. “Do you know that it was a clan of giants who brought about the destruction of the Golden Age?”
“know. “It’s called Nezar.”
“After he was impaled by his children’s spears and
buried under the ground, the Adapas continued to run wild. In the end, they brought out weapons that should not have been used and started a war, which led to the extinction of 99.999% of all living things on Earth.”
” earth?”
“The land where the demon world is now.”
“ah!”
“The Adapas of that time were so strong that they cannot even be compared to the giants of today. He was 10 meters tall and had incredible body regenerative abilities, so even if his hands and feet were cut off, they could be restored in an instant. It was even able to withstand radiation and the poison of mugwort
. “In order to kill it, you would have had to burn its entire body with high heat or cut off its head.”
“The kids who defeated them were dragons? “Is that why you gave me breath?”
“that’s right. The Adapas have several patterns of combat abilities transplanted into their bodies. Several types of dragons were created to deal with each of them.”
“Is the Death Beast also a type of dragon?”
“Similar but different. They are the same in that they are artificial weapons based on life… but when God created dragons, he treated them as real creatures
. They had free will, gave birth to offspring, and prospered. But there were also side effects. The Adapas continued to degenerate and became modern giants, and were no longer enemies of the dragons. The dragon tried to gain greater power by using its high intellectual ability and magical power… This ultimately became the trigger that ended the Silver Age.”
“So this time, the problem was solved with a living weapon rather than a living thing?”
“huh. That’s the Reaper and Leviathan. After the Silver Age ended, God ordered that it should no longer be used
. “Lucifer probably sealed it.”
“I was irritated by the devil’s words and God’s words. If that’s the case, why did you become a demon lord? “Keep being an angel.”
“There must have been some reason.”
“You don’t know either?”
“huh. “Because I am Jin Geum-yong.”
“Oh, I quit being an angel early on.”
Yulgeum put a thick piece of steak into her mouth.
The savory meat juice filled my mouth.
Deus smiles at that sight
.
“Why are you laughing?”
“no. bon appetit. Anyway, since they are simple animals, they will stay in an environment that suits them, right? “I have no choice but to chase after the dragon vein like I am now.”
“Would you like me to give you a fortune?”
“dot? “Do you know how to do something like that?”
“for now. “Maybe it’s some kind of hobby?”
“If you know how to do it, do it sooner.”
“You can only get an approximation. For example, direction.”
“That would be much better.”
“Shall we give it a try?”
Yulgeum looked around for a moment and grabbed a fistful of chopsticks left on the table.
I closed my eyes, held the chopsticks in both hands, divided them, and stuck the last strand between my little and fourth fingers.
I repeated this several times to get the right answer.
A total of 6 holes and pairs were selected and used as a fortune telling.
After the fortune telling came out, Yulgeum tilted his head while looking at the fortune telling.
“What is that expression? “What did the mole say?”
“The woman had already met Jeong-in and crossed the river before destroying the boat.”
“What is that?”
“It means that Suzaku has already left to find his owner.”
“Quack. “There is no bokchae.”
Yulgeum became angry at Deus’ words.
“You’ve never been wrong?”
“Today is the day.”
“I’m going to try again!”
She took the chopsticks again and began to read her fortune.
But the result was still the same. Deus’ expression hardened.
“There’s a bastard who stole my Suzaku…?”
“Why is that yours? But it was strange.”
Yulgeum was troubled as he looked at the gwaehyo in front of him.
“It means that somewhere in this land… there is something stronger than Suzaku roaming around.”
At that moment, Deus and Yulgeum thought of one person at the same time.
“Zig?”
“Could it be possible that he became that strong?”
Deus’s reaction to Yulgeum’s question seemed a bit surprising to her.
Deus was smiling. As if he was happier than any other news.
“Don’t like it.”
” why?”
“If Zeke becomes stronger than you, something big will happen.”
“Big deal?”
“Have you already forgotten what you did to your sister?”
“ah!”
The smile on Deus’s face faded.
“fool. “I can’t see one inch ahead.”
“That was bold.”
“Why don’t you be bold in front of Zeke too?” Deus pouted his lips. A spark flew at Alex.
“Butler!”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Try to find the location of another Shinigami Beast. “If it’s sealed, I’ll have to break it open and swallow it.”
“All right! “My lord, so ambitiously
dreaming of conquering the world, I will obey the orders you gave me during the night!”
“Don’t just watch, try fortune telling.”
“no. I won’t do it anymore. “They treat me like a quack.”
Yulgeum flicked his tongue, picked up the juice glass, and brought it to his mouth.
That’s what she said, but the reason she didn’t tell fortunes lay elsewhere.
I got a little scared.
The Four Gods of Death awaken and fall into the hands of humans and demon lords.
Wouldn’t that be a way to break order
?
It was better for the warrior who defeated the Demon King to die.
Deus had a drink at Joryx’s tavern.
As it was a castle that stayed for quite a long time, it was natural that some memories would remain, but the castle that was completely destroyed and rebuilt by the giants 10 years ago did not match Deus’s memories.
The place where his Mugu store was has now been cleared and turned into a small park.
I came to see if there were any tools that Zeke used for his business, but all that remained were memories.
“If I had died there, my reputation would have remained. Damn it, it was a good chance to be the last one to emerge from Joryx Castle.”
I glanced in the direction where the sound came from.
It was an adventurer’s outfit. He must be a hero, a collateral relative of a hero, or his companion.
“It’s because of the witch. “Behind the fall of a man, there is always a woman.”
“that’s right. “The witch
tempted my brother and made him join hands with the devil.”
“There is also a rumor that a witch died in the war against the Demon King and came back to life.”
While listening to their story, Deus drank his drink again.
Yulgeum was by his side and poured drinks.
“do not be angry.”
“Do you think I’m a child?”
“Isn’t it your nature to slaughter and destroy as you please?”
“It has to be worth it too. “It’s either fun or necessary.”
I heard the conversation again.
“I’m glad though. My youngest brother
has become a Leau Paladin. “Didn’t he declare that he would kill his brother and erase the family’s shame?”
“I heard your swordsmanship skills are amazing? “I’m also 10% pureblood.”
“10 percent is not enough to be the last one standing.”
“yes. So, you can use Aura even though you are a 4th generation!”
Deus gaped as he looked at Yulgeum.
“third?”
“I thought this was a story about Zeke’s youngest brother?”
“10% pureblood? “Then all three siblings are over 10%.”
“I see.”
“You are from an angel.”
“however?”
“Is it possible to talk to God?”
“The master only gives orders. “I can’t talk to him.”
“what a waste. “I wanted to ask you if you were in your right mind.”
“It’s disrespectful again. Then you will be punished.”
“What if I’m not crazy? All three siblings are in the 10% range. “What are you planning
?”
“It’s all because the Demon King came out to the human world and ran amok.”
“You learned only bad things from Alex. “Why is it my fault again?”
Yulgeum held out an empty glass.
Deus silently filled his glass.
“It’s not really anyone’s fault, but God is even considering it.”
“Why did Zeke get Suzaku?”
“I don’t know either. “I’m just Jin Geum-yong right now.”
The two clinked their glasses.
The human body is drunk. I enjoyed that strange feeling, so I filled my cup again.
Yulgeum asked.
“But are you really planning to wake up all the Death Gods?”
“huh. why? no?”
“I like order. “I think there must be a good reason why the Death Beast is sealed.”
“Maybe so. But what can I do? “I hate order.”
“why?”
“Because in the end, that order
will only be maintained if I die.”
“ah!”
“I have no hobby of committing suicide.”
“That means,
“It gets serious again.” It’s a drinking joke. If you think about it, the Demon King is not dead. Because I get to live again as a demon. “As long as I don’t go out of control and get completely wiped out like this time, I will be living in the Demon Soul even if another 666 centuries pass.”
“You just have to fight the hero and win.”
“Wouldn’t that lead to a result that is the furthest thing from order?”
“Order means that the laws of the world are observed. The second question is who will rule the world.”
“Whose idea was that?”
“Jin Geum-yong.”
“Do you think God and his armies think that way?”
For some reason, it was difficult for Yulgeum to answer yes to Deus’ question.
It was then.
“I found it!”
Alex said as he sat down next to Deus.
” what?”
“It’s a white tiger.”
“where?”
“It is the land of mugwort. But it’s not that far from the demon world. “It is sealed at the southern end of the Naga Basin, the domain of Jilshigong.”
“Okay then, let’s leave tomorrow.” Meanwhile, Zeke and Lakke were also in the world below around this time.
They went down to the Wormwood Domain, where La Ke cast several spells on Zeke.
“There is no history of humans walking into the demon world. You’ll have to be careful.
This is briar branch juice. Apply it behind your ears. “Because that’s where the most pheromones come out.”
Zeke silently did as Lake told him.
“It’s hard to fool you into thinking you’re a plant, so I’ll introduce you as my flower girl.”
“What is fireworks?”
” that.
Lakhe’s cheeks turned red. He lowered his head and spoke softly.
“I am a slave who transfers the pollen from the stamens to the pistils.”
