Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 273
61. Jose’s final day on the continent (2)
“You were a slave.”
“Slaves are things. It’s not human. “I had no choice but to die when I was told to die… But I could not live with things, so I ran away to Neue Can.”
“Did you live in Neuekan too?”
“yes. Mr. Zeke is also familiar with Signy, the mother of Migo, one of the ten chief knights. “I don’t know if they
will remember a lowly guy like me.”
” Really?”
“What benefit will I get from lying to you?”
“What kind of person is your mother?”
“You mean Signy?”
“Uncle Regin told me many stories, but they were all from when I was young.”
“Signi has been in Neue Cann since she was 10 years old, and Regin did not live with Signi at that time.”
Croche said with a smile.
“He was a compassionate man. He never tried to profit from anyone .
“She was a saint who was devout to God and looked like something out of a painting.” Migo laughed.
“and?”
“But humans can’t be perfect. “I felt guilty about saving his life from the devil, so I guess he lived that kind of life even more.”
“Dad saved Mom.”
“I also heard the story from someone else, so I don’t know the specifics.”
“Thank you Croche.”
“Do you trust me now?”
“No, that and this are different. “I will not trust you as long as you are your servant.”
“Why don’t you trust Nezar?”
“It’s natural because he’s a villain.”
“What does good and evil really mean? It is just a custom that has been passed down for a long time. Why aren’t slaves human? “I was definitely human.”
Migo could not fully understand what he was saying.
However, I fully felt the anger contained within it. He really hates humans.
It was right then.
Migo met a truly unexpected person.
A cloud-shaped cloud stopped in the sky, and a woman slowly got down from there.
She couldn’t believe her eyes.
“Huh mom?”
SIGNI ran over and hugged Migo.
She couldn’t say anything and just patted her head endlessly.
“
Tears formed in Mom Migo’s eyes.
And after the people around her left their seats, she cried loudly.
Migo talked to Signy about various things for two hours.
These were really trivial stories.
From jokes told by one of the demons to things I saw while living in the demon world.
There was never a single story that the Demon King and his mother could share.
Alex and Croche, who had been listening to the story of the mother and daughter through the window door, suddenly left the room
.
Neither mother nor daughter had the personality to plan something grand.
“I heard you fought a fire giant?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s an incredibly huge giant. “Mom won’t believe it.”
“Your father was surprised.”
“Did your dad come with you too?”
“huh. But you couldn’t come here because the demons were against meeting you.”
“I see. We haven’t had a proper conversation yet…
“They said Nezar is dead. “That day will come soon.”
“really? But… Croche didn’t say anything like that. He is my butler sent by Nezar. “He’s like a kind of surveillance officer.”
“Why don’t you kick him out?”
“no. He’s just Nezar’s servant. Moreover, even if we do defeat it, it will be after we have completely subdued Nezar.”
Signi laughed while listening to Migo’s words.
“You are truly Deus-sama’s daughter. “It’s only been about a year and a half since I was born
, and you’re even thinking about that?”
“I am the king. “More than 100 million lives are entrusted to me.”
“You are dignified. “You seem to be doing well, and that makes me more happy than anything.”
“But I always miss you. Master Yulgeum and Uncle Regin. And… I want to meet Uncle Zeke more. “Lexia, I’m sure you’re doing well too, right?”
“Everyone wants to see you.”
Migo said, clenching his fists.
“Mom, I am a demon lord, but I am also a warrior.”
“That is your destiny.”
“I don’t hold any grudges. Rather, that’s why I’m always thinking about what I can do.”
“Even if you become the devil, you must never become evil.”
“Of course. “I’m thinking about how to end this ongoing war.”
Signi hugged Migo.
“You can leave that to the adults.”
She was a proud daughter.
Signi was surprised at how he was so mature.
“I won’t make you worry mom.”
“You must value yourself too.”
“Of course.”
While Migo and Signi were having a private time, Deus and Yulgeum arrived in a completely different place.
“This is…
Yulgeum frowned.
The morning star is floating.
There are countless elements revolving around it.
A cloud-like cloud created several orbits.
“Karma Vortex.”
Deus nodded at Yulgeum’s short words.
” that’s right.”
“You’re not trying to ask me to keep this position for another 10 years, are you?”
” no?”
“If it’s really important, I can do it for you, but…
“If it’s something I ask for, just listen to it.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
Deus smiled.
“I also have no intention of going underwater for 10 years. It will be much shorter than that. It might be over in an hour or two. “Back then I explored the entire Karma Vortex, but now I just want to know one thing.”
“It’s even scarier when you say it like that. “What do you want to know?”
“The question is simple. “Can Lucifer die?”
Yulgeum frowned.
“what do you mean? “You mean that Mahon wasn’t destroyed?”
“That was my error. Mahon was destroyed. So of course I thought Lou Sippel had disappeared too.”
“Wait a minute, Lucifer is a demon?”
“What was really controlling? If he had simply been the first Demon King, something like that would have happened. But guess what? How about you? Are you really the dragon god?”
“I am the god of dragons.”
“Then swear. “Even if I deviate from the will of the god you serve,
I will live as the god of dragons.”
“You can’t? Kamael Lucifer and you, Yulgeum, Metatron. I don’t know much, but I learned one thing while watching you three. “An angel’s karma can never deviate from God’s will.”
“Lucifer will do the same?”
“huh. “You guys aren’t the type to take karma so lightly.”
“It’s different from you.”
“therefore. “I’ve thrown away the Demon Lord position a few times, haha.”
Deus said this and approached the Karma Vortex.
“Then I’ll go and come back.”
“It’s no use trying to stop me, right?”
Deus raised two fingers and saluted and immediately jumped into the Karma Vortex.
Yulgeum watched Deus’ unconscious body with a long sigh.
Just then, someone spoke to Yulgeum.
“How long do you plan to just watch?”
Yulgeum
could tell who the other person was just by hearing their voice.
It was Michael, the master of the flaming sword.
“How long do you plan on just watching him?”
He asked again.
Yulgeum looked at Michael for a long time.
“I am Yulgeum. “He is the god of dragons.”
“That is just a name in this world. “That’s not your real name.”
“This world is not an illusion.”
“It is not an illusion, but the reality is not clear either. that’s right. Like the sutra you
created. “This is the space between reality and illusion.”
“Is that your perception?”
“is not it?”
The brilliant blonde woman smiled faintly.
Yulgeum asked her back.
“What do you want to do? What God wants from you is simply to watch over the world and achieve harmony and balance. Do you think that everything you are doing now fits the word ‘harmony’?”
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Seonghwang said he met you.”
“Was that really me?”
“What do you mean?”
“Demiurge 666, can you be free from the responsibility you have now? They said that even Kamael was defeated by him. “How long do you plan on watching a bastard that even an archangel can’t control?”
“What will I do if I don’t watch?”
Michael only smiled and did not answer Yulgeum’s question.
“Michael. Do you truly know the will of the Lord?”
“The master wants humans to grow.”
“Growth… what is it?”
“At least you don’t want it to remain the same as it is now.”
“Build a Babel and sail to outer space. Meeting other beings in this huge universe and interacting with prophets. Is that the growth you’re talking about?”
“To God’s world. “That is the path humans should follow.”
“Whose meaning is that?”
“Are you trying to make a joke?”
Yulgeum’s expression hardened.
“no. Michael, I am saying that you should not judge this world however you want. “Only the Master knows his will.”
“So are you saying we should let it be destroyed again like this? “Humanity.”
“If that is their fate.”
“That’s irresponsible. “As if I had become the real Jin Geum-yong.”
“I am Jin Geum-yong.”
Michael bowed his head to Yulgeum.
“I hope you come to a wise conclusion
.”
With a greeting, she disappeared into the other side of space.
Yulgeum sighed briefly.
What Deus was looking for was only a small fragment.
The Karma Vortex was only a space with a radius of several tens of meters, but that was only what it looked like.
In the world of consciousness, its size was as large as the karma of the demon world.
I tried to find a small piece of that empty space.
It seemed impossible at first, but Deus was sure it wouldn’t take long.
Because I had an almost complete understanding of the internal structure of the Karma Vortex.
Among the memories of the Demon King that I swallowed at that time, I had already passed on the combat skills to Migo.
What Deus was looking for now was a completely different kind of memory.
– hey! Lucifer!
Deus shouted and woke up Lucifer, who was still in the abyss of his ego.
Lucifer He was a mirror image of Lucifer’s
self.
Karma Vortex is an installment in the bond between the world and Lucifer.
The part that left was Lucifer, and the part that remained was Lucifer.
Lucifer’s sleeping self woke up to Deus’ call.
– It’s been a while.
-I guess you understand that.
—Because my ego has already been eaten away by you. Don’t be so angry that I borrow your senses.
-Anything. Rather, you know why I woke you up, right?
-Do you want to know about Lucifer?
– that’s right.
-Hmm…. This is inside the Karma Vortex again. But now it’s just an empty shell. Because you swallowed it.
—I thought so, but I’m reflecting on it because I think I was a bit arrogant. Because there is still tons of information here.
-It’s not that I’m arrogant. But karma is creating a kite even at this moment…
-In the meantime, is the karma accumulating again?
-You could say that.
