-Archmage Diana 〈 Experiment Log 〉-

●●●

“… So, are you saying that Diana made a big contribution?”

Audience room.
It is a place where the demon king Leviathan and numerous subjects discuss important matters of the country.
At the same time, it is also the place where the hero and the expedition had a decisive battle with Leviathan.
At the time of the decisive battle, the place was smashed, but it returned to its original state in one day.

In the center is the throne where the demon king sits.
The wall behind the throne is decorated with red silk.
The silk is engraved with a pattern reminiscent of a devil’s head.
This pattern symbolizes the devil.

With the Demon King seated on the throne at the center, the servants stood split on the left and right.
A long red carpet stretched from the throne to the exit.

On the carpet, two sorcerers in white robes knelt in an audience with the king.

“Yes. The credit for the plan is Diana. Without Diana, the plan would have failed.”

One is General Viper.
An old friend of Leviathan, and one who stands at the pinnacle of Pandemonium science and technology.
He is the only friend he can rely on for Leviathan, who had only enemies all along.

And the person next to General Viper,

“Diana, the report I prepared.”
“… Okay.”

Diana.
A human who once attained the rank of the Archmage as the youngest person.
However, after being modified by General Viper, he became a demon.
Seeing that there was no way to save everyone except by obeying, she decided to side with the Demon King.

“Here is a report summarizing all the experiments we have done so far.”
“Um, let’s see…”

Having received the report from Diana, Leviathan looked through it one by one.
She checked each letter with fierce blue eyes.
I read it carefully as it is an important matter related to the disposal of humans in the future.

“…”

A heavy silence fell.
Only the sound of flipping papers echoed in the audience room.
No one was chatting, not even the sound of spit passing.
Not hearing anything made Diana a little nervous.

‘Wouldn’t that be wrong?’

She came to Demon King to report the results of the experiment.
Originally, it was a rule that General Viper entered the throne room alone, but the general brought Diana with him.

This is because, in order for Diana to do what she wants, she must first be recognized by the Demon King.
No matter how much she hopes for conversion, it is useless if she does not show that she is sincere in her hope.

Diana said she wasn’t wrong, she saw.
Even if she hides because she’s scared, she doesn’t help anything.

‘That’s really funny. He’s the guy who tried to kill me, and she never thought she’d fall under him.’

It was really ridiculous.
At one time, they even invaded the throne room to kill the demon king.
She and she were driven to the brink of death by the demon king.
She had heard that the demon king was fearsome, but she did not know that the difference between her powers would be that far.
If Leviathan hadn’t acted on her whim, she would have died on the spot.

She said that she would be a subordinate of such a guy, and that she would come back here.
My co-workers would be really upset if they saw it.
She must have screamed what the fuck is this.

But it didn’t matter.

Now, she is irreversible.

“Good read. It must have been a lot of hard work for her. It’s to the point where it’s okay to be sane after suffering like that.”
“It is an overestimation.”

Diana said carefully.
If you look ugly here, everything is over.
So she has to show submission to him.

But Leviathan didn’t want that.

“Don’t speak harshly. Just be honest. Do you think it will end with just overeating?”
“Ha, but I…”
“Don’t do that, tell me. It doesn’t matter if you curse at me, so try to be honest. Or should I give an order?”
“…”

Demon King, why are you doing this?
I know you as a tyrant who is relentless to those who oppose you, but why are you doing this?
Do you want to catch the pod and kill yourself?

How can I do this?
Diana cast her helping gaze on General Viper.

‘Do as the Demon King says.’

General Viper opened his mouth.
He made no sound, only opened his mouth.
Just by looking at it, Diana knew what he was talking about.

‘The Demon King likes honest people. He hates pretentiousness as much as a traitor. Whatever it may be, he likes to be honest. At least he won’t behead or behead him here.’

At those words, Diana hesitated.

Can I really speak my temper?
No matter how good it is, it’s in front of the king, so is it okay to pour it all out?
I was worried that I would become the target of condemnation for nothing.

However, all her thoughts were shaken off.

‘Let’s do it, there’s no way back anyway.’

She has already made up her mind to go. There is no one to greet you.
Nothing but begging the demon king in front of him to save him.

You have to follow what he says.
I came here to be loyal to him in the first place, so why hesitate?
If you ask me to, I have no choice but to lay it down.
Diana took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

“It was like shit.”

Diana continued her story.
He vomited out all the grievances he had been holding up until now.

“It was very shitty. He said he thought of me as a treasure and tortured me every day by locking me in an egg. I really want to save everyone, but there have been countless times where I have questioned whether I should do something like this.”

A very rude statement.
But no one bothered.
I just stare at the king in a cold sweat.

“If you say you are superior to me, why are you so bad at making medicine? I was annoyed and wanted to freeze it as it is. I just wanted to do it myself.”

Hearing this, General Viper was taken aback.
I was aware that there would be dissatisfaction, but I did not expect that the dissatisfaction would be so extreme that I wanted to do so.

“But I couldn’t. No, I couldn’t choose. Without Viper, there is no man anywhere to comfort me. Can a woman who has been tamed by a snake’s cock choose another man?”

Hearing that, General Viper was greatly relieved.
However, the eyes of the other servants were very bad.
Even the Demon Lord Leviathan.

“Hey, were you abusing the treasure when you said you got it?”
“That, that…”
“Since there are results, I will just move on.”

Of course it’s a joke.
Throwing away one’s best friend over something like this is not even funny.

“Anyway, good to hear. You’ve been through a lot, Archmage. Is there anything you want?”
“I am just a test subject.”
“But it is an important resource for us. How can I neglect you who have become an important resource? This place is different from the stupid human world. It is a principle to give a reasonable reward to those who show strength. If there’s anything you want, I’ll give it to you.”
“…”

Was he such an exhilarating king?
Wasn’t he the crazy guy who grabbed the pod and decapitated anything?
Diana was so embarrassed.

But I had no intention of missing this opportunity.

“Please don’t kill me anymore.”
“Don’t kill me. What do you mean?”
“It means that we ask you not to kill any more humans who will become resources.”

Diana was adamant about her own opinion.

“The Demon King wants to use humans as resources. He wants to make you into a woman, the most valuable resource in the Demon Realm. I vaguely realized that she wanted to make her into a demon, not just a woman.”

Why did the demon king just watch the experiment without progress?
Collaborating on her experiments, Diana learned that these experiments had been going on for years.
And in the process, it was also known that many people were sacrificed in this experiment.

Even though she sacrificed so much, there was no result.
Even though she invested her precious budget, she got nothing back.

For the Demon King, it would not be strange to get angry right away.
He would have yelled at me to hit him right away.

But the reason I didn’t do it was probably because I had a clear goal.

The goal is to turn all human beings into valuable resources.
She continued to persevere to achieve that goal.

‘Otherwise, there’s no reason to look after this guy.’

Of course, this is just speculation.
It may not be real.

However, she succeeded in seeing through the devil’s intentions.
Otherwise, she would have cut off her own words.

Diana went on with her words as she looked curiously at the demon lord looking at herself.

“If you kill too many people like that, you won’t be able to use it as a resource. So I hope that there will be no slaughter as much as possible.”
“In war there are always victims. Don’t you think such a request is reckless?”
“I know that. No matter how hard you try to reduce sacrifices, people die in the end. But…”
“But?”
“I want those who can be saved to be saved. If you spare me, I will make all of them into resources.”

Please do not commit needless slaughter.
No matter how angry you are, please do not kill people to vent your anger.
As long as you do that, I will turn it into a resource for you.
That was what Diana wanted.

“And I hope you make sure to treat those who become resources. I want it to be specified in the law.”
“That is easy. But, are you okay? Is it like betraying your colleagues and students?”
“It doesn’t matter.”

The answer has already been determined.
She had already made up her mind by making Arte her demon.
As long as I turn everyone into monsters, I will definitely save it.

“Because I will remodel it myself.”

Even if it is false happiness.

“Puhahahaha! It’s really fun, very fun.”

Leviathan laughed very cheerfully, as if he had seen a comedy.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone laugh at themselves like this.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had someone speak so harshly.
Even Viper is careful what she says, but this woman is really bold.

“It seems like just yesterday that you stabbed yourself with a knife to kill me, but you’ve really changed a lot.”
“If it wasn’t for Viper, she wouldn’t have thought of this.”
“Good good. I will do as you say. I will tell the ministers to make laws right away.”
“Thank you.”
“And…”

Leviathan’s next words caused a stir in her throne room.
Diana and General Viper, who heard this, were also taken aback.

“How about being my empress?”
“Yes?” “Become my empress. Then you will get more power. I’ll let you achieve anything you want.”
“That, that…”
“How about it, a very good suggestion?”

Diana didn’t get her head spinning.
I wondered if the demon king would make an outrageous request, but I never thought he would bring up the story of the empress.
Are you saying you can’t be satisfied with just three people?

“I am…”

It’s certainly an attractive proposition.
If she can become the empress, she will have no one to oppose her.
How could one ignore the king’s companion?
Even if you oppose it, you will be able to press it with force.

But,

“Sorry, but I will decline.”

Diana flatly refused.

“Why? You don’t seem like a person who would give up a chance, do you?”
“Definitely attractive. But I will refuse.”

Diana definitely nailed it.

“There’s nothing good about connecting with the king.”
“…”

An awkward silence passed.
No one knew that Diana would respond like that, so everyone in her stared at her with her eyes wide open.
Even Leviathan was at a loss for words for a long time, as if he hadn’t expected such an answer.

Moments later, Leviathan broke her silence and opened her mouth to General Viper.

“Viper, you got a really bold wife. Others crawl out of fear, but this woman is truly unique.”
“It’s too much praise.”
“Anyway, I got it. If that’s what you mean, it’d be nice to do that. I’m not such a vicious guy as to steal someone else’s wife.”

At that, Diana snorted.

‘You’re funny. The subject who is obsessed with tormenting Emilia.’

She had heard it all by hearsay.
She says that she insults Emilia, Mileina, and Alyssa every day in order to get her hands on it.
It is said that she was trained with drugs and dyed her soul black, making her into a body that could not survive if she could not mix herself and her body.

It is unknown whether she really intended to hold Diana in her hands.
But if she really meant to get her hands on it, she would have bullied him as viciously as the three of them.

Diana had no intention of offering her own cunt to such a man.

In the first place, a snake child is growing inside her own belly, so how can she stand on the side of the demon king?
She fell in love with the venomous snake that poisoned her, so how could she fall for the devil?
Diana has already made up her mind to go all the way with Viper.

Having become a renegade, the only man he can rely on is Viper.

“Today’s meeting ends here. Everyone go away.”

Diana, who was satisfied with the result, exited the throne room with General Viper.
