Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 228
52. Demiurge 667 ascends to the throne (3)
Deus raised his hand and traced Zeke’s eyes, changing one side at a time.
I couldn’t answer his question.
Until now, I have never lived purely for the Demon World.
If you ask me if I love everything in the demon world, I will say yes.
However, if you ask me if I would sacrifice everything for the Demon World,
I will definitely shake my head horizontally.
He knew better than anyone else that he was not fit to be a king.
“Migo… But Migo is now in Nezar’s hands.”
“I know. However, that is the fate that our demon world must bear. If you can overcome it, just try to do so. If you can’t do it, you have to think about survival in your own way. It’s our job. “It has nothing to do with you now.”
It was cold.
No, it would have to be that way.
“Deus, I’ll tell you once again, you were the worst king. So at least… please don’t do anything that will disgrace your daughter.”
“I’m not allowed to meet Migo?”
“yes. Not even a day has passed since I took office. “I don’t want to do anything to confuse him.”
Following Alex, Shantrina took a step forward and bowed her head.
Excluding Alex, she was the only one who had a personal relationship with Deus.
“Lord Deus, the chaos has finally begun to settle down. Many trials will come to our demon world in the future. Fortunately, Migo seems to be a wise person among misfortunes. With Him, we, the Seven Dukes, can overcome this obstacle. So please leave like this. please.”
Deus looked back at Duke Chil again.
“Promise me one thing.” Alex lowered his head.
“Please speak.”
“Treat Migo as a true king. Otherwise, the demon world will be destroyed by me, not by humans.”
“I promise. “We, the Seven Dukes, will serve Demiurge 667 and be loyal to him.”
Deus held out his hand.
The dark energy stirred and turned into a bead in his hand.
The demon peacocks looked into his grasp with anxious expressions, not knowing what he was trying to do.
“You know what this is, right?” Alex nodded.
“Mahon… isn’t it?”
“that’s right. Things from the past have been lost, but… this is a new demon created by adding some of Lucifer’s memories and my experiences. Originally, it was meant to be passed on to future generations after I die. Give this to Migo. At least you won’t lose to your opponent due to lack of combat skills.”
Alex did not dare to hold it in his hand and held it with both hands.
“I’ll give you back the magic gun. Just as much as I got. “That will be enough to awaken the Demon King and learn the Demon King’s dance
.”
“Even the Demon Spiritual Energy…
“I’m strong enough without that right now. And this is an open passage to the demon world. “It originally belonged to the Demon King, so I shouldn’t have it.”
Two black orbs appeared one after another on Deus’ hand.
It was the entrance to the warp gate connected to the essence of Demon Spirit and a corner of the Demon Castle.
Deus handed the two things over to Alex and smiled.
“You have suffered a lot because of a foolish king. Please take good care of that child. “If you think about it, you’re not good at being a father.”
He left a self-deprecatory remark and turned around.
The Seven Dukes, including Alex, bowed and bowed to him.
The places everyone was looking at were very different. The devil must be like a devil.
A person who rejected that could not be accepted as a demon lord.
So we’re just breaking up.
Alex ended up shedding tears
.
With blurred vision, I continued to follow Deus.
Deus trudged back down to the Demon Castle.
I don’t know what conclusion I was hoping for, but I had no regrets about this situation because I had openly said that I would quit being the Demon King.
However, one thing will be corrected.
10 years later.
The devil dies.
As has been the case for hundreds of centuries, he will be defeated by a warrior and die.
I had no intention of handing over such a fate to Migo.
This world is twisted.
If I don’t correct it, I will return to the demon world and die in Migo’s place.
Clenching his fist, Deus headed towards Volcano Io, another passage leading to the human world.
Meanwhile, Regin, another person who had left Neuekan,
returned to his headquarters with a heavy heart.
He bowed his head and apologized to the Zodiac Knights, including Cadenza, and especially to the members of the Sword Saint Association Asuka Ron.
Cadenza looked at Regin silently.
The silence was so heavy that it was about to break down when Cadenza grabbed Regin’s hand.
“You’ve changed. “You.”
“I did not betray humanity.”
“That’s not what I meant. The sharpness that was like a blade has disappeared. “What on earth happened to
you ?”
“I can’t tell you what happened to me. “It’s because of the covenant with the angel.”
“Then I can’t ask any more. I’ll ask again. Will you keep your determination to die as the blade of Ascaron?”
“yes. “It will definitely happen.”
“Fortunately, the. We are losing now. Many of my comrades died, and after repeated defeats, I was pushed back to the entrance of the demon world. If we lose any more here, the battlefield will expand to the human world. “The reason you and Saint Lexia have returned to the battlefield at
this moment is that God has once again given us a mission.”
“Mr. Cadenza.”
“Talk.”
“I have received a covenant from the great beings of this world.”
“Who is that?”
“The god of dragons and the beings around them.”
“Have you met Jin Geum-yong?”
“I have been with him for the past year.”
The paladins of Ascaron murmured.
Jin Geum-yong was a legendary being. It was like a symbol of the greatness of the dragon race.
“What did he say?”
“He told us to stop this war.”
“However, this war began under the protection of the victorious monarch, Michael.”
“Was there ever an oracle again?”
“That’s not true, but…
“According to his orders, I rescued my sister, Signi, who had been kidnapped by the demon world. He washed away the curse from her body and entrusted her to Jin Geum-yong. That was the oracle Michael gave me
.”
“You mean you washed away the curse from her body?”
” yes.”
“So where is she now?”
“Jin Geumyong is still protecting me.”
Although there were some uncertainties, the dragon race was now in a firm alliance with humans.
Moreover, before I knew it, Michael’s attendant Scatul had also disappeared from the crowd.
Although the angels’ protection remained,
the angels did not actively give any revelations to humans for the past year.
There was even a warrior who expressed the feeling of being abandoned.
Cadenza asked Regin again.
“If we take one step back, the demons will take two steps forward.”
“It will stop.”
“Are you sure?”
“I will be the one protecting humans from behind. “If demons set foot in the human world, they will have to kill me first.”
As he assured, Regin fought the giant army in the rearmost area and forced the humans to retreat.
Until now, they had been forced to retreat from the front lines by force.
However, once the leadership decided to retreat, there was no reason to delay.
In just a day or two, they had moved through the remaining corridors and reached the plain in front of the entrance to the Demon World.
The entrance to the demon world was guarded by Regin.
The only person left by his side is Lexia. The remaining guardians of Leo Paladin had long since dispersed.
But that was enough.
He flopped down on the floor and leaned on his sword.
One poor article.
Nevertheless, the enemy did not dare to go beyond him.
The number of giants Regin killed during the day and a half retreat reached four figures.
Even the giants felt fear, so how did he reflect in human eyes?
The demons did not come out of the entrance to the demon world as Regin had assured.
The giants who had marched up the corridor also disappeared one by one.
A week passed and only then were humans able to believe that the war was over.
A scout sent far away reported that there were no enemies in the spiral corridor leading to the Demon World.
Cadenza shook his head, remembering the long war that lasted over a year.
What was gained and what was lost?
Only God can answer this question.
Deus ascended to the continent of Jose along the passage inside the huge pillar rising above Mt. Io.
It was an unremarkable trip, except that a few giant squads that unfortunately caught his eye were split along the way.
Then, along the way, I met a horse. The devil of hell. It was clearly Zeke’s words.
It seemed like he had been wandering around looking for Zeke since he broke up with his owner.
Deus climbed on Zeke’s back and said he would guide him, and quickly
entered the path leading to the ground.
After meeting the sun near the crater where the lava was bubbling, we went down the mountain for just a few more hours and arrived at Neuekan’s safe house.
He tied the horse to the entrance of the house and went inside.
In the reception room connected to the entrance, Yulgeum was sitting reading a book.
“You came quickly.”
“uh.”
“What’s going on?”
“I was kicked out.”
Yulgeum’s mouth opened slightly.
“Eh… really?”
Deus scratched his head and sat down across the table from her.
” really.”
“You say you don’t need it?”
“That’s right.”
“lie! You kicked the one who got the ancient demon soul from the power of the Four Gods Beast? “You must be stronger than all the demons in the demon world, right?”
Looking at Deus who said nothing, Yulgeum spoke again.
“Has Nezar already taken the Demon King’s seat
?”
“That’s not it. Well, it’s not that big of a difference.”
“It looks like they installed a puppet king. The demons accepted such a humiliating situation. “You recognize not Nezar himself but the person who sent him as the devil.”
“I guess I have no choice but to admit it. “This must be recorded as Nezar’s first win.”
“What do you mean?”
“Who do you think it is? Demiurge 667 years old.”
“From what you’re saying, it seems like you’re someone I might know. Are you from Neuekan here? No…
Yulgeum’s expression quickly hardened.
“no way!”
“No way.”
“No way. You released the Migo that you had so hard to catch? “If she becomes the Demon Lord, she won’t have to listen to Nezar.”
“I have a great hostage.”
“Hostage?”
“The entire Demon World. Because without Nezar’s power, the Demon World would not be able to exist. The demons
have no choice but to rely on Nezhar. But since the person sent as a candidate for the king is someone close to Migo’s enemy, I have no choice but to accept it, right?”
“What I’m saying is that there is no reason for Migo to remain a demon lord. All you have to do is pretend to listen and run away. “If you come back under our protection, even Nezar won’t be able to take it away easily, right?”
“So the situation itself is a hostage. “You tried to raise him to be a warrior, right?”
“Is that possible? Because your daughter
is a great demon king…
“That’s a lie. “My eyes are rolling to the left.”
Yulgeum laughed exaggeratedly and Deus sighed briefly.
“I can’t leave it alone. Demons. “I guess that kind personality is exactly like my mother’s.”
