Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 262
58. Barely clearing the false accusation (4)
Deus and Yulgeum were busy arguing, so they didn’t even listen to Zeke’s story.
Zeke turned his attention to the mountain behind Rosdia with the intention of seeing a distant mountain.
It was a beautiful mountain covered in pure white snow, as if it were wearing a white hat.
New green was growing on the land that had been burned by the mugwort fire a long time ago.
A red light appeared on the snowy mountain.
Zeke was so beaten up that he rubbed his eyes to see if anything was wrong.
But the red dot actually became much clearer.
“What is that?”
Deus and Yulgeum turned their heads when Zeke asked.
It was right then.
A sharp sound of wind was heard. It was like the sound of a thin object tearing the air.
I looked at the sky and saw a fireball coming down. An object as fast as a meteor hit the mountain and
exploded with a loud noise.
A huge amount of silt flew into the sky. Mud mixed with snow fell like a landslide all the way to Rosdia.
Like the Demon World, the castle was protected by a barrier called the Enclave, so it was not damaged by a landslide.
However, the mountain behind was destroyed to the point where the peak was split in two.
It seemed like if I got hit with the same thing again, it would cause damage to the underground armory.
Immediately, another red arrow fell to the ground.
Deus stepped on the floor and jumped up. And then he kicked the arrow away in the air.
As the saying goes, it was an arrow, but it was a pillar that was 50 meters long.
Because it fell from a distant space, it became red-hot. It was thrown to the ground at a speed dozens of times the speed of sound, creating such an impact that it cratered a crater.
However, with one kick from Deus, the iron pillar spun around and fell into the mountain next to it.
Since Deus took most of the impact, there was no significant damage.
“Nezar you bastard!”
Deus looked at the sky.
A small star was visible floating outside the atmosphere about 100 kilometers away.
It felt more like a lump of machinery than a star.
There were about 10 arrows that looked like they had just been dropped, stuck in a round magazine.
Yulgeum opened his mouth.
“Rain God’s Staff…
“Is this a weapon made by Nezar?”
“that’s right. It’s an orbital weapon used in the Golden Age. “I use strong lightning energy to fire a large arrow made of metal
.”
“It’s similar to Meteor Strike.”
“It’s the same concept. “This one is much more powerful, though.”
Zeke placed his hands on his eyebrows to create shade. I looked high up.
Although I couldn’t see it as clearly as I could with Yulgeum or Deus, I could vaguely see the ‘Rain God’s Staff’ thanks to the evil eye.
Another burning pillar fell. What was initially launched was simply an iron pillar, but
its surface caught fire due to friction with the atmosphere.
Thunder God’s staff.
It was a pretty good name.
The downward pillar of red light truly felt like the staff of God.
“You sound like a god! “What a giant bastard!”
Deus kicked up the Thunder God’s staff and immediately followed its path.
Without even having time to wonder what he was going to do, Deus grabbed one side of the Thunder God’s staff. Although
it was a harder and heavier material than steel,
it could not overcome the strength of Deus’s grip.
In that state, Deus threw the Thunder God’s staff towards the sky.
The power exuded by a small body measuring less than 1 meter and 80 centimeters.
The staff rose up faster than it came down.
It started to turn red and the head of the staff caught fire, spewing out sparks like fireworks.
It disappeared from sight, leaving only a single ray of light.
A small light
twinkled far above the atmosphere.
It was the final light emitted as the projectile itself was destroyed.
“Who would have imagined that there would be a being that could kick a weapon outside the atmosphere and destroy it?”
At Yulgeum’s words, Deus made the shape of a V with two fingers.
“It’s not something I like. “It means that Nezar has figured out this place.”
“Well, I was bound to get caught sooner or later. “We are the only intelligent beings in the land polluted by mugwort right now.”
“It means that this place also needs to be prepared for defense to some extent.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay if we didn’t have to?”
“What is the basis?”
“Because I am there.”
“Not on the basis of excessive self-consciousness.”
“You don’t want to fight me yet. If not, he would have come down directly. That bastard is up there and I’m here just growling at each other. “I still don’t have enough.”
“Is even DS not enough?”
“Half and half. If Nezar
hadn’t grown at all in the meantime, he would have won. But if even one thing succeeds in preparing the next move, this time I will die.”
“I guess I can say I’m prepared…?”
Zeke opened his mouth to Yulgeum’s question.
“It is said that he learned magic in return for helping the demon world. “I don’t know what that means, but I’m sure he will evolve.”
“Knowledge of the Golden Age and knowledge of the Silver Age… If you master them all, you will
truly be one step closer to the state of God
…
Yulgeum shook his head as he said this.
“It’s not easy.”
“There is a difference between difficult and impossible. The easiest thing is to teach me the techniques of the Golden Age.”
“no way. “If it’s dangerous, it’s definitely not lower than Nezar, right?”
“Tch, it’s not coming down.”
“So what is lacking more?” “I think I can deal with DS Irae well enough.”
In response to Yulgeum’s question, Deus turned to Zeke.
“Once I finish this guy, I’ll go.”
“ah! Well… then it would be perfect!”
Zeke scratched his cheek.
“I am always grateful that you praise me so highly. But shouldn’t we go to the armory instead of doing this here?”
Yulgeum responded.
“It will be fine. This is not a facility that can be damaged by an attack of this magnitude. Still,
should we give it a try?”
Zeke was about to walk after Yulgeum, but Deus grabbed his back.
“Where are you going? “You have to keep doing what you’re doing.”
“ah!”
“I just said it. Evolving your weapons is a top priority. “Everything else is just a piece of cake.”
“All right.”
Yulgeum looked at the two and said something.
“But do it in moderation! “You get hurt before you even fight.”
But there was no way those two could hear her.
In an instant, it soared high into the sky and began to split the sum with all its might.
“Zeek is the same!”
I stamped my foot and shook my head. However, it was also true that I was looking forward to it.
How far will they grow?
Really…
I wondered whether it would be possible to surpass Nezar, a symbol of the Golden Age when mankind achieved its greatest prosperity.
“The Thunder God’s staff has been destroyed
.”
The giant stretched out his arms above his head and fell to the ground.
I raised my head and looked at the throne.
Sitting there is God.
He is a cosmic being who awakened the giants from their dream and evolved them into a new human called Adapa.
There is only infinite respect and obedience.
Just by daring to look at my toes, I felt like a 100,000 year long wish would be resolved.
“It’s Enkidu. You are Enkidu, who has come to know the embrace of a woman
. “What are you so afraid of?”
The name of the giant lying on the ground was Enkidu.
It was a name taken from a myth in Nezar’s memory.
“Mr. Nezar. You told me to destroy the white castle with the staff of the Thunder God. However, it failed. “I am afraid that now you will cut off my head and fry or steam my useless brain.”
“That’s foolish. Do you think I will be defeated? “Are you suspecting
me of failing ?”
“Oh God! That means…
“I am omniscient and omnipotent. I gave you the order knowing it would fail. So do not doubt, Enkidu.”
“Yes, Nezar.”
“You just have to become my hands and feet and follow what I say. Dwarfs, lower-human fairies, etc. cannot be compared to Adapa. You are truly my people, Enkidu, and you are their king.”
“Thanks to Nezar’s generosity, Enkidu
once again owes his life.” Nezar rose from his throne.
From Erech, the castle in the sky, he looked down to the lower world.
Continent Jose in the form of a horse was clearly visible.
“Enkidu, come here.”
“Yes, Nezar.”
Enkidu walked on his knees and stood next to Nezar.
“That little star was originally mine. All you have to do is leave it in someone else’s hands for a while and then get it back. But there is no need to obsess over that. Look over there.”
Nezar’s fingertips pointed toward the black sky.
“This world is bigger than you can imagine. There are countless stars. Complete the barbell. “Sacrifice for me until the day I become a true god.”
“God’s word is always right. Become the ruler of the entire dimensional world. “I am willing to be a small stepping stone on the way to get there.”
“good night.”
“Mr. Nezar. What would you do with that white castle? If you give the order, I
will lead 100,000 Adapa troops and attack.”
“No, I confirmed that he was there, that’s enough. Watch with a hawk with a thousand eyes.”
“I will do as you command.”
Enkidu left and Nezar looked down at the ground again.
There was also a way to ignore this small planet and go straight to outer space.
With only the resources of Jupiter and its moons, there was no problem in creating an army that could dominate the entire solar system.
Adapa’s brain
has not yet reached completion, but time will tell. Until then, all we have to do is borrow the brains of humans and dwarves.
But Nezar couldn’t do that. It’s because of obsession.
“It must be a foolish obsession! Amitis, what is the first thing you will do when you open your eyes? Will it shatter that little star? Or,
where I turned around, there was a woman.
About half the size of Nezhar, she had a human face and body, but behind her skin
were connected countless cogs and wires.
Amitis raised his head with a squeak.
“Everything will be done according to your will.”
Nezar burst into laughter. His laughter echoed throughout this wide Daejeon.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Nezhar, who had attacked once, did not attack anymore, perhaps because his staff of God was destroyed.
Meanwhile, armor and weapons for dragons have also entered the completion stage of development.
Rosdia was more vibrant than any other place in the world.
But Deus, who had actually created the matter, seemed to have lost interest there.
In fact, Deus’s real purpose was to imprison Ska Tull, and Rosdia was a kind of smokescreen.
It didn’t matter what happened to Rosdia now that the angels’ wavelength was perfectly understood through Scatul.
“Ah, I’m bored.”
“yes?”
Zeke, who was busy cooking, turned his head to Deus.
“Okay, look at your work.”
” yes.”
Deus looked at Zeke for a while and said another word.
“You keep repeating that boring thing.”
“I find it fun.”
“You keep doing the same thing.”
“If you want to do business, you have to keep coming out with the same thing. “If the taste keeps changing, you can’t sell it.”
“Aren’t you tired?”
“yes.”
“Well, your family’s swordsmanship is so boring, but I kept doing it.”
“You said it was useful at the time.”
“When have I ever said that the food you cooked was not delicious?”
“Ah, well, being useful as a swordsman and being boring as a swordsman are two different things.”
