Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 326
74. Meeting the Twin Sisters ⑴
“Babel… wasn’t it a device that opened a dimensional door?”
“No, I think I also heard that it was used as a weapon.”
Hamiel got angry.
“Don’t keep interrupting me!”
“Don’t shout loudly when you lose your body. “If you feel wronged, come visit me.”
“Rude guy! “An incredibly rude
guy.”
“If you think I’m being rude, don’t deal with me, right? Go home before something worse happens. “Did you ask your subordinates to retrieve the lost body?”
“Well..
“Why? “Are you embarrassed?”
“A guy who doesn’t even have the slightest respect for the messenger of God.”
“Why does the Demon King pay homage to God’s messenger?”
“If you think about it too…
Hamiel closed his mouth. I thought that
it was a big secret of this world and could not be revealed without permission .
But Deus already knew most of this.
“what? “An angel made it?”
“…did you know?”
“Do you know that the Demon King and the Hero are gods created by Lucifer?”
“I… I never thought he would speak so lightly!”
“I don’t know why that damn woman’s name came up, but I figured it all out. This body is equipped with a brilliant mind and keen reasoning skills. Even children stop crying when they hear Demon World Detective Deus.”
Hamiel closed his mouth.
Meanwhile, Deus spoke again.
“I don’t know exactly what a barbell is, but it is the power to manipulate dimensions. Conversely, there may be a way to attack using dimensions. A sail blowing in a light breeze makes a ship run, but a strong wind breaks the mast, right?”
“It’s called a phase bluster.”
Deus snorted at Hamiel’s words.
“Don’t give it any fancy name. “I’ll just call it
Babel’s Fire .”
” you!”
“Jik.”
“Yes, Deus.”
“I won’t help you.”
“yes.”
“Catch that bastard and drag him away. “Kneel in front of me.”
“I’m thinking of giving it a try, but I’m not sure if it’s possible. By the way, Deus.”
” uh?”
“In order for me to attack Nezar with peace of mind, Regin’s matter must be resolved first
.”
“Is this a threat?”
“Please.”
“Huh..”
“How could it not be?”
“I think Migo will be in trouble if I leave…
Deus turned his head and looked at his daughter.
If we put her back in the position of the devil, one problem will be solved. However, if the assassination group even attacked Migo, another problem would arise.
Deus pondered for a moment with his eyebrows furrowed before opening his mouth with a bright smile.
“Worship. After all, this body is a genius.” “I’m a little… anxious?” Deus stood up.
“I came up with a mysterious idea that could solve all problems.”
In that way, Deus gathered the seven dukes together.
What he said there was enough to embarrass the Seven Dukes.
“I am quitting the devil.” In a lighter tone
than ‘I quit my
part-time job,’ the era of Demiurge 668 ended in just a few months.
The seven dukes fought for several days over whether Migo should be called 669 years old or 667 years old, and ended up eliminating the title 668 years old.
The reign of Demiurge is still 667 years old.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Deus would express his disapproval at these words, but Zeke
felt a strong sense of déjà vu at what Deus was doing.
A castle appeared in the sky of the Kingdom of Verde.
It was completely different from the normal performance of setting up a foundation stone on the ground.
Rooted in the clouds, the spire rose toward the ground.
A castle standing upside down.
But it was too clear to be called a mirage.
People felt afraid of the castle in the sky that appeared overnight.
A beautiful castle the color of violets would have been a miracle
, but it was built with blood-red bricks and a black roof.
Even at a glance, it seems to claim that it is a castle from the devil world.
Seonghwangcheong hurriedly summoned high-ranking priests in response to the sudden change and held meetings every day.
I waited for a possible oracle, but God had no answer to my prayers.
Meanwhile, some of the warriors approached the castle in the sky.
They were especially brave people. The outstanding skills of Class D were a bonus.
However, they escaped from the castle after only a few hours.
Those who survived testified.
There…
there is a ‘demon king’.
The form of the assassination group took shape.
It was Regin, not Cadenza, who stood at the top.
Regin took upon himself the sword.
In fact, everything was just a burden for Regin.
Although he was angry at Oridon’s death, he was not obsessed with revenge.
It was also because I met Deus a few times and learned something about him.
Oridon did not die. He probably died fighting the Demon King as a hero.
In some ways, taking personal revenge on that matter was nothing more than an ugly struggle.
Queen April’s case was similar.
The devil and the king.
They were each other’s enemies. One could not be blamed for killing the other. Because it’s always been that way.
The problem is the hearts of those who experienced it.
The misery and anger were blocked by violence that could not be resisted, so they only lingered around and had no place to go.
That’s why Regin declared himself an avenger.
What Regin really hoped for through revenge was for them to be healed.
He hoped that by dying…
April and Cadenza would no longer have to suffer from the wounds from the past. Because
it was the only thing I could do for my family
.
Regin actively served as the backbone of the assassination group.
Over the past year, his skills have grown incomparably compared to the past.
Cadenza’s sword fighting skills were already nowhere near Regin’s.
It seemed like his skills had improved a lot while teaching Migo and being around him.
As word of his power spread, the number of applicants to the assassination squad increased. “What on earth
does
that castle in the sky mean?”
Cadenza hung the tip of his sword and looked at the sky with blank eyes.
The place where the assassins were staying was the old Southern Warbler Pavilion.
Seonghwangcheong was built nearby, and the southern Warbler Hall was converted into a barracks for the Zodiac Knights.
Now, the Zodiac Knight was close to destruction, and the assassination team was on the verge of extinction.
Regin, who was sparring with Cadenza, sighed briefly.
“Only God knows.”
“They say it’s the castle where the devil lives.”
“Do you believe that? It’s just a story of luxury people. The reason it came about is also unclear…
At that moment, someone interrupted the conversation between the two and opened their mouth.
“It’s the devil’s castle.”
At that voice, the hair on Cadenza’s entire body stood on end.
I have never forgotten it even for a moment.
“Demiurge!”
He turned the tip of his sword and shouted sharply.
But immediately after that, Cadenza saw the world spinning.
To be precise, it was the cadenza that spun around. He was crumpled against the wall and then rose in the air again.
The training iron sword was crumpled and my whole body was throbbing with pain.
“It hasn’t increased at all. Or is it that the growth has increased but it is so slight that you can’t even feel it?”
Deus smiled and lowered his raised hand.
Cadenza’s body, which was floating in the air, fell as if a string had been cut.
Regin supported him and aimed his sword at Deus.
“what brought you here?”
“Ah, little brother Zeke. “I heard you were part of some kind of assassination group or something.”
“Did you already know?”
“Did you think they wouldn’t know even though we had recruited a large number of members? Just as you planted spies among the demons, we also bribed several humans.”
Deus smiled and turned his eyes to the sky.
“That’s the devil’s castle. But it’s not an ordinary last name. “That itself is like a collection of gigantic magical power.”
“A collection of magical powers…
“To put it simply, it’s a very large bomb. “We made one not only here, but in every capital city of each country.”
“why!”
“Why… are you stupid? “Do you have any more novel questions?”
“If you want to destroy the human kingdom, shouldn’t you just blow it up?”
“That’s right. But it doesn’t fit my aesthetic. I wish you guys suffered a little more. “I want you to writhe in pain and cry out that you would rather commit suicide.”
“ah. Devil…
“That’s why I made it. Now then, shall we start the game?”
“What do you mean it’s a game?”
“Assassin game.”
“Assassins, what do you like? Keep growing. step. It’s too much for you guys. Should we say this is the limit of the 4th generation? After all, it is too weak compared to Generation Zero. It looks like a few people have surpassed 10% pureblood under the angel’s protection. Aren’t they feeling too proud about that? Okay, so the 4th generation is the 4th generation. “The performance is inferior
compared to the Zero Generation warriors .”
Cadenza stood up, passing Regin.
He was angry and tried to shout something, but his internal organs and six parts seemed to have been distorted by the blow he had received a while ago.
He almost collapsed, coughing up blood, but managed to get back up by leaning on Regin.
“Are you trying to insult us?”
“Do you understand now? It will be insulting. “If you spit on your ancestor’s grave, I will collect a sip of phlegm and spit it out.”
Deus smiled and continued.
“But it’s so boring. You guys are so weak. To be honest, I had some expectations from the last war. It seemed that if the humans gathered their strength and attacked, they would gain some strength. But the result was… they all died with a single wave of my hand. Ah, boring. So I’m going to give it some more time.”
“hour?”
“9 years, no, there are only about 8 years left, right? Until the time when there should have been war in the first place. D-day is that day. I will leave the demon world and invade the human world. “Whether or not you can stop it
depends entirely on how well you train Generation Zero, right?”
Cadenza bit his lip.
Regin said.
“What on earth does that last name mean?”
“Castle in the sky? It’s also a token of the contract… You guys have a convenient brain that easily forgets things you don’t want to remember. At the same time, this is my warning. If you do something annoying like bring an army to the demon world again before the promised day, boom! “You know what I mean?”
Regin thought of one thing at this moment.
If we evacuate the people of the castle…
At that moment, Deus opens his mouth again.
“For your information, that castle was built to chase after the kings of each country.”
“ah!”
“Do you think it would be fun? It’s much better than a gathering where defeated soldiers gather together to lick their wounds, right? Prepare for a war approved by the devil. “But don’t be a bother until the war happens.”
Regin said.
“great. “Let’s do that.”
Deus laughed.
I looked into Regin’s eyes. Just like Zeke, I did it right away.
You will become stronger.
After catching a glimpse of him, Deus disappeared into the illusion of a black winged dog.
Deus appeared again at a place some distance away from the castle.
There was a vision of Zeke and Hamiel.
“Eight years later… are you going to attack the human world?”
Deus smiled at Zeke’s question
.
“What do you think?”
“I don’t know this time.”
“I don’t know either. If you remember, go. “I don’t plan on setting an alarm.”
Deus shrugged his shoulders and said to Zeke.
“Then let’s go to Jupiter.”
