Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 323
73. Facing the Lord of Jupiter (2)
“A poet once sang that that place was a necklace of seven coral beads worn by a king around his neck.”
Hamiel looked down at the red-brown planet with his arms crossed.
A huge ring stretched from the ceiling to the floor.
“It’s actually just a typhoon. “It is so large that it has been going on for tens of thousands of years.”
“Everything is measured in tens of thousands of years. “Humans don’t live even 100 years.”
“That’s why there are separate managers. Even if the masters of the world are you humans.”
“It’s order and balance.”
“You seem dissatisfied.”
“Is that possible? “How dare I?”
“That guy around you is full of complaints.”
“He is the devil.”
“Even the devil must obey the manager. Isn’t it the order of
this world that is in the order of the world
? The demons that follow the warriors also do it once every 100 years
.”
“Then Deus-sama will have to die in about eight years. “That’s it.”
“Yes.” “It’s not so cruel that
a huge number of people die
without even knowing about the devil or him .”
“Sometimes a newborn baby dies from an illness. Should we call that cruel? Then nature is inherently cruel.”
“As a person myself, I
think it is wrong to criticize people for not understanding the order or dissatisfaction with their struggle to escape their fate.”
“God’s order must be obeyed. “It’s not because it benefits me.”
“Is it for humanity?”
“Even that is only a small part of God’s order. No one knows what God wanted to create such harmony and order. We can only guess. Even that is not accurate. We only see through two eye sockets. “It is arrogance to think
that you can see the truth with those dark eyes .”
“Obey. “That sums it up in one word.”
“yes. “If you refuse to follow order, you will eventually be eliminated by the administrator.”
At first glance, it felt unreasonable.
But the moment that thought occurred to him, Zeke ended up scratching his head.
The being in front of me is an archangel.
Lions who protect the order of the world on behalf of God.
How arrogant is it to doubt his words?
“Then tell me now. “How can I find him here
?”
Zeke looked at Jupiter again at her words.
“For your information, that one red spot is similar in size to your home planet Earth.”
“Is it that much?”
“Don’t say you didn’t know.”
“Honestly, I didn’t know. “Is Jupiter this big?”
“But there is no way to summon Nezar.”
“Summoning?”
“yes.”
Zeke smiled. Then they spoke briefly to their two Death God Beasts.
“Turn into a servant of the stars.”
The Servant of the Star’s real purpose was as a power plant.
But for a long time, that enormous energy gathering device was used as a weapon.
As with everything created by mankind, the servants of the stars drove countless people to death.
All it did was send
the energy produced in outer space to the ground via radio waves.
Even though it looks simple, the Servant of the Star was in the category of weapons, and its structure was included in the Reaper’s database.
Light appeared in front of Zeke’s eyes and created a huge structure.
The long rods became entangled like a spider web and turned into a spindle-shaped structure. It was shaped like a funnel.
While Zeke was making the star servant, Hamiel sighed again.
“I can’t help but blame Yulgeum!”
“It was Nezar who taught me this skill.”
“ah! is it? But what do you plan on using Star Servant for? Are you planning to send beams indiscriminately onto the surface of Jupiter?”
“no. “I would like to say a few words.”
“Speech 2”
“They say voice is also a type of wave.”
“All energy is like that.”
“I was wondering if I could transmit my voice to all of Jupiter if I were a servant of the stars.”
Hamiel tilted his head at Zeke’s idea.
Zeke shouted at Jupiter.
“Nezar, my servant Nezar! “Even when your master comes, you don’t kneel down!”
All he shouted was that one word.
Accompanied by stellar servants, he moved to the southern hemisphere of Jupiter and shouted similar content.
“Nezar, you lowly servant, Nezar! Welcome your master! Why do you not worship?”
Hamiel quietly watched what Zeke did.
I barely thought about whether the other person would be caught by such a provocation.
However, I came this far just based on speculation that I was overly self-conscious.
Is there a better strategy than a battle zone?
Zeke spent an entire day circling the stars, taunting Nezar.
The servant of the star carried his voice on numerous types of radio waves and spread it throughout Jupiter and its surrounding moons.
If you are not here, you will definitely be able to hear Zeke’s voice.
“Isn’t it useless?”
Zeke shrugged his shoulders in response to Hamiel’s question.
“I didn’t expect to meet on the first day. Because Nezar is very suspicious. He’s probably looking for Deus. “I won’t show up until I’m sure he’s not here or where he is
.”
“The man who was the owner of Babel is only afraid of the devil king. “It’s pathetic.”
“That’s how strong Deus is.”
“I can’t refute that. “I too have been defeated once.”
Hamiel looked at Zeke again.
“Even though you couldn’t see it because of Deus, you are a decent child.”
” yes’?”
“It seems like we can no longer be called human… We haven’t heard from God yet. “What should I call you?”
“I am human.”
“Humans are mortals with intelligence. “You are immortal, so you cannot be called human.”
“Doesn’t identity matter? “I consider myself a human being.”
“Does not matter. Just because a dog thinks of itself as a human, it cannot be called a human. At one time, mankind developed mechanical dolls. Because of this, mechanical dolls that can think for themselves were created. Standing at the top is the god of all mechanical devices named Deus Ex Machina Gilgamesh. He went beyond humans
and even considered himself a god, but ultimately met a miserable end. When it died, not everyone revered him as a god or a human being. “It just disintegrated into a handful of screws and metal pieces.”
“Gilgamesh…
“He is a perfect intelligence with a mechanical body. At one time, it almost replaced humanity, but humanity instead turned to strengthening itself. “The result is Adapada.”
“You mean the enhanced human created by Nezar?”
“He was once a truly great scholar. “He has fallen and is now a devil.”
“But is it okay for you to tell me these things? “It’s the history of the Golden Age.”
Hamiel snorted.
“What do you mean again? “He has the Four Gods of Death, which can be said to be the history of the Silver Age itself.”
“If one day I give up being a Shinigami Beast, will I be able to become human again?”
“If the Four Gods accept that, then yes. “You are bound by a two-way covenant.”
“That’s right.”
Zeke accepted them, promising to give them a new meaning of existence.
To be respected and to be loved.
It felt like a homework that would probably have to be solved forever.
Only if you live for everyone as the most upright warrior will you be able to fulfill the wishes of the Four Gods of Death.
Like some nameless god.
“That is your destiny.”
“I am just a warrior.”
“It would be more correct to call him ‘that hero’ rather than ‘a certain hero.’”
Zeke silently moved his position along Jupiter’s equatorial plane. I shouted loudly against the background of the Seven Red Banners.
It was a lion’s hooves that seemed to be spouting out all the emotions tickling in their hearts.
“Nezar, little Nezar! Your master has come! “Hurry up, get down on your knees and bow to me!”
And the moment those words end. Jupiter woke up.
You could even say it was beautiful.
No, in a way, I was afraid.
The atmosphere, which had been spinning rapidly along Jupiter’s latitude plane, suddenly stopped.
The entire planet of Jupiter was colored pale gold, and countless pictures were drawn.
Some resemble hummingbirds. On the other hand, there was a spider with 10 legs, and somewhere else there was a tarsier with a long curled tail.
Zeke didn’t know it, but those paintings were from a plain called Nazca on Earth in the past.
The pictures drawn by golden light actually
did not have much meaning.
It’s just a little prank.
But the light itself was no joke.
Cloud system.
It was evidence of a lightning field, a brain power field created by densely arranging the servants of the stars.
Lightning plays along the desired line.
Clusters of light moving at the speed of light travel tens of thousands of kilometers and are amplified even more powerfully.
In exchange for losing a few to several seconds of charging time,
the amount of energy that the lightning possesses already exceeds the limits of physics.
Nezar had built a complete cloud system here on Jupiter.
The star itself became a fortress, and within its brain force field, Nezhar’s name became equal to that of God.
The clouds turned following the light.
Zeke looked at the picture spread out on the ground for a long time.
It was a drawing that seemed like a child’s play. But at the same time, I felt an understated beauty.
Hamiel said to a dazed Zeke.
“be careful. “You can feel the power of the enemy everywhere, from the ceiling to your feet.”
“It looks like we’re surrounded.”
“It must be a reactive brain force field. “It may feel peaceful now, but the moment we move, it attacks accordingly.”
“It seems to be the power of Queen Amitis.”
“Amitis is also Gilgamesh’s mother.”
“ah! What she created…
“Amitis
had a brain that could think, so she needed a machine to become limbs. “It is Amitis and her clan who developed the mechanical body.”
“It seems like there weren’t only humans back then. “The electronic brain clan and the mechanical human clan.”
“They were all created by humans, but they once prospered beyond humans.”
“And then it was conquered by humans again, right?”
“You know very well.”
“Humans… why does God favor humans?”
“It’s the opposite.”
“You don’t like it?”
“No, it is not that I am favoring humans. Everything except humans was created for humans. It’s not favoritism. “Humans are the reason this world exists.”
There was a bitter smile at the end of Hamiel’s words.
Looking at that smile, Zeke felt the back of his neck go cold.
That expression…
my thoughts stopped.
A huge thunderbolt whirled like a storm.
The lightning coiled tightly and created a huge lantern.
And among the squirming group of lights, a being appeared.
“A young chick is making noise in front of God’s eagle. It’s laughable! “It’s ridiculous!”
His name is Nezar.
He was the lord of Jupiter, the star of storms.
“You were hiding here as expected.”
Nezar narrowed his eyes at Zeke’s first words.
“I admit it. I was hiding. At one point, he lost both of his wings and
was sick, so he took refuge for a while. Han Xin crawled between the crotches of a gangster, and Confucius wandered the seven kingdoms begging for glass. But how can that be a flaw?”
“I guess you’re embarrassed by the long talk.”
Nezar closed his mouth. Zeke smiled.
“You have such an obvious life. Why don’t you live a truthful life sometimes?”
