Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 319
72. Before and after processing (2)
Deus spoke calmly.
“In space.”
” yes?”
“Don’t you know about space?”
“I do not know.”
“Over there in the sky.”
“Isn’t the sky above God’s world?”
“Do you still believe in that base myth?”
“The lower world is the demon world, the middle world is the human world, and the upper world is the god world. “It’s common sense.”
“Hah, where should I teach this and how far should I teach this? Anyway, it was high up in the sky and recently jumped off somewhere.”
“Where will it fly?”
“I don’t know.”
” yes?”
“No one knows. Even the angels don’t know. “It just jumped out.”
“…I mean, it’s in a no-mark state.”
“yes.”
“Won’t you come… for revenge?”
“Come or not.”
“In that case,
we must conquer the human world even faster. “If giants and humans attack together, the demons will surely be destroyed.”
“Why do you, a bastard who can’t even fight, insist on fighting every chance you get? “You’re trusting my back and going forward.”
“Because you are the Demon King.”
“I have to quit now.”
” yes?”
“You defeated the humans. “There is no reason for me to be here any longer.”
“But…
Alex lowered his voice and continued.
“Aren’t you looking for Lucifer?”
“We’ve created a fuss up to this point, but looking at how no one has moved, it seems that none of the Seven Dukes have any ties to Lucifer.”
“It’s obvious.”
“It means the opposite. Lucifer is giving you orders unilaterally. “Before the Demon Spirit disappeared, I had you do various things in the name of the Demon Spirit, right?”
“The former Demon King has the right to do so.”
“I know, but the problem is that everything I was asked to do was wrong. “Why don’t you resurrect Nezar and impose a law on me?”
“Isn’t Yulgeum a bit of an unfair accusation? “He came first.”
“Why did you come for no reason? “Lucifer must have been plotting something behind my back.”
“Is there any evidence?”
“That’s how I feel.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Anyway, it would be better to just end the war and move to my land now. You just need to develop the area around it.
Since it’s thousands of kilometers away from here, there’s no need to bump into humans. “Until the population grows so much that it becomes a great empire, we won’t even be able to see a human being.”
“Not only the green crescent moon, but there are many such fertile lands in this world. Since each strategic point is connected by a warp gate, there shouldn’t be any difficulty in moving around. “What is the reason for insisting on this land?”
“That’s because my lord has no attachment to the demon world. “Isn’t that why even the Demon King quit
?”
“I have no attachment, so why would I put aside 10 days and come all the way here to save you? Taking away my daughter’s job? “I guess you did that to hear some good things?”
“Lord,
they are stupid from beginning to end. To you, is the country this land? What do you think is good for the demons? What value is there in a war that comes to earth every 100 years and drives millions of people to their deaths? It was land that these people could not use. If
we had just destroyed the road to the surface and lived on our own in the demon world, nothing would have happened as you said. It’s still the same now. War? What’s left if you win? It’s just a war started to gain the title of defeating humans. “The Horse continent is not particularly fertile.”
Alex couldn’t refute even a single word of Deus’ story.
Common sense.
I couldn’t help it. He is close to 70,000 years old.
The laws that were correct for a long time have all been broken in the past 10 years.
Accepting and changing was never easy.
“That hard head is not called a brain. It’s just a bunch of nerves. When hungry, it sends a signal to the stomach to growl, and when the female cries, it sends a signal to the genitals…
“Master!”
“why?”
“Really… aren’t you planning this for the sake of humans?”
“Who are the Nezar spies
accusing you of being spies?”
“We had no choice but to make that decision for the survival of the demon world.”
“You are either empty-headed or completely incompetent. So what benefit did the decision you made bring? A vassal of a giant? A military power weaker than that of humans?”
“I’m sorry. I understand why you criticize me for being incompetent. But…
“But if you’re going to stick it, don’t even apologize. Pretentious bastard. Is that polite? They just put it on Nezar’s butt
. When you say good things, leave this place and move to another land. Pioneer the land and establish a new Eidos. “We call that place the Demon Realm, and after a century or two, no one will remember this rotten land.”
“This is our home.”
“It’s just a handful of ghettos that luckily escaped destruction during the Gilded Age. No matter how much we talk about emotional value, it doesn’t change that it’s useless. If you want to draw a picture of your hometown, call a painter and leave a picture. “Maybe we can hang it in the central hall of Eidos and enjoy it together
.”
“My lord, you have valued the value of your hometown too cheaply.”
“Is it worth more than a few million lives?”
“expensive. “Far beyond comparison.”
Deus got angry. He, who rarely gets excited, raised his voice.
“You’re saying that because you’re not dying. You rotten bastards. You take the sword and take the lead. “If I were to destroy everything every 100 years like the warriors, do you think people would still say that it is more expensive than life?”
“Lord, Lord…
“My whole head is really rotten. It’s an avoidable war. Even the land I came to is much better to live in. But are you taking for granted the sacrifices of millions of people just because it is your hometown?”
“That’s why I want to win. If we win the war, we will have tens of millions of slaves. If we go then and pioneer new lands as your lord said, we will ultimately see much greater profits.”
“Can we win?”
“We have a chance to win now.”
“That’s stupid. “I am proud, not you.”
“Even if it wasn’t for the lord, a huge number of warriors died over there.”
“There are just as many people who don’t participate in the war. Besides, aren’t you forgetting the most important fact?”
“Someone said,
“There’s a guy over there I can’t easily beat.”
“You mean Zeke?”
“If I don’t step forward, it’s your turn to be slaughtered. Would you like to try
it? That way, nothing like war will come out of your mouth. “If only six of the seven dukes die, then things like the main battle theory will be included.”
“No matter how strong Zeke-kun is, there is a good chance of victory if the Demon World joins forces.”
“If you really think so, should I try laying the plate for you? I’m going to join Zeke with the Seven Dukes. “Whoever wins gets to take over all of the opponent’s territory.”
“Seven… All warriors of the Demon World…
“Then, one thousand to one. No, let’s do it one-for-one. Pick 10,000 people who say they can fly. That’s why I’m sticking with Zeke. “On the condition that if Zeke wins, I hand over the Demon World to Zeke.”
Alex smiled dryly at what Deus said.
It was difficult to answer hastily. Zeke’s fight with 10,000 top-class demon warriors.
Even if there were two Death Gods, it didn’t seem like they would lose.
But Deus’ attitude bothered me.
Of course, Zeke
was confident that he would win.
“Why increase it to 100,000? Let’s bring in 100,000 more people. I’m curious too. “How many hours will it take to kill them all?”
“No, my lord, isn’t that too much? Why do you ignore the warriors of the Demon World so much?”
“I’m not ignoring you guys. “Zeek is that strong.”
“Humans can’t do that, right?”
“Do you know who changed the positions of 6 and 7 vertebrae on Raguel’s back?”
” yes?”
“Zeek stabbed him with a knife and the position of Archangel’s vertebrae changed.”
“…Is that possible? The faithful person said to the angel…
“Well, I told you to do it, but it’s not a class you should be looking at. In this world, the only opponents I can truly fight with are the Archangels or them. On the other hand, do you think I would lose against 100,000 people, including the Seven Dukes?”
“Well..
“There’s nothing to think about. You lose. “It’s okay
to say it’s not 100,000 but 10,000,000 .”
“Are you saying that Zeke is like that?”
“uh.”
“So you are stopping the war.”
“Even without the protection of angels. “I can’t even guess how strong that child will become if he becomes the final hero, receives the support of a saint, and even receives the blessing of an angel.”
Alex stole Deus’s eyes. I couldn’t tell if it was real or scary.
“So,
don’t think about fighting with humans and find a third way. “I’ll find out for you at a low price.”
“…Are you really going to get paid for the settlement?”
“Have I told you yet? Except for the three continents of Demon World and Hor, all the rest of the land is mine. “If you want to spend it, you have to pay.”
“As expected, I refuse to move here.”
Alex bowed his head and turned around.
The obstacle now becomes clear.
Zeke van Jade. All we have to do is make
him ostracized from humanity again
.
Controlling human hatred is truly the specialty of the demons.
Cardinal Le Sulet was having trouble sleeping these days.
There is only one step left to reach the Pope’s throne. But that one step was actually going further away.
The Pope, who seemed like he was going to die at any moment, actually got healthier as he got older.
Is it because I met an angel? Is it rejuvenation due to the blessings of the divine soul? No, if that were all
, I wouldn’t be able to
sleep this much .
The human army was completely defeated.
Hundreds of warriors died, tens of thousands of knights were killed, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers did not return.
How can the damage be summarized in one or two words?
And what should he, who led the war, do now?
Subtle changes were also detected in the power of Seonghwangcheong.
Ascaron was disbanded. In his place, the Trustees became the leading force in Seonghwangcheong.
The oracle faction, which believed that war without oracles would only lead to defeat, was trying to control even the Zodiac Knights.
Cadenza, the head of Ascaron, has been completely pushed out by their claims.
You must rely only on God. You must pray. Mankind must wait for the call until the Lord declares victory.
Cardinal Le Sulet could not refute a single word of what they said.
“The oracle… the oracle…
I thought it would be impossible to become the next pope if I didn’t get it.
On the other hand, a low-ranking priest might obtain power by obtaining an oracle at any day.
That was unreasonable and unfair.
“Rather…
He clenched his fists.
Two Zodiac Knights who were cornered by the Oracle faction and became criminals.
If their military power is combined with Le Sulet’s own money power…
wouldn’t he be able to become Pope a little faster than by asking the oracle?
That morning.
Acoma, the capital of Verde,
is experiencing the first good news in a long time.
It was news that the Yellow Dragon Knights, led by Regin, were passing through the Tigris, a narrow passage in the Horsespine Mountains.
It will arrive at the capital within a few days at the earliest.
So many warriors, including warriors and knights, had lost their lives in the war, making public security unstable. The news of their return was like a rain of rain.
As soon as Le Sulet heard the rumor, he also took a big step forward.
Cadenza, who had been absent from Libra’s office, was called.
