Chapter 1910 – [Hero & Demon King & Great Demon King]
Seong Gwang-shin’s blatant and direct oracle without any backlash clearly revealed its purpose, but there was room for deflection.
You said I was a great being, but didn’t you nominate me? So I thought there was a place to escape… But it was pointless.
“During the celebration, didn’t you subdue not only the very large monsters but also the elites of the temple without killing a single one?”
“Uh, for now, right?”
“And I thought that someone might have been trampled to death in the crowd of people, but there was no one. There are also stories of an invisible force protecting a person who was about to be stepped on or lifting them out of the spot to escape them. I can’t believe you protected someone like that for unknown lengths…”
“No, that’s because it leaves a bad aftertaste when innocent people die because of agape.”
“Before, when the Holy Light God descended on Leona, I had a private meeting with him. No matter how much I think about it, the great being that the Holy Light God spoke of seems like Worst.”
“…”
“And when I first saw you, you were living with the Demon King at the top of the Sky Mountains, where ordinary people cannot live. Isn’t the acquaintance who entrusted the Demon King to you the God of Darkness?”
There is so much evidence that I can’t deny anything.
Since they said that even their own gods were great beings, their treatment of me made me look like an avatar of another god. Since Seonggwangshin has been declared a great being, the excuse that he is a member of some kind of clan or something like that does not work.
Thanks to you, I will be able to enjoy all kinds of treatment at the end of my vacation… Well, since my name is there, Agape won’t be treated badly even in the middle of the Holy Light Temple.
“Now that I think about it, how strong is Worst?”
“Well, it’s incredibly strong, but it’s hard to explain in words.”
“The Holy Light God also treats you with caution… Are you sure that you are stronger than the Holy Light God?”
“First of all, even if the Holy Light God and the Dark God attack at the same time, they will win.”
“Wow!!!! It’s so strong!!!!”
“But it’s only weak. It can’t create life, heal wounds, purify, or anything like that.”
“Then what else can I do besides crying?”
“Uh… Something like seeing what kind of life the other person will live and giving them trials or increasing or decreasing their lifespan? Oh, you can also give them a sign of how they will die.”
“Isn’t that a power as great as that of God…?”
“It’s a problem because they treat it like a vegetable.”
If someone smarter than me had been able to use my powers, they could have done much greater things. Perhaps a downgrade to the Absolute of Destiny? Minor copy? But it will definitely be awesome.
The fact that the Absolute Destiny is being criticized like that is proof of its ability, so it would be great if you could imitate even a part of it.
Of course, I don’t want to be criticized even if I wield similar powers. As much as possible, I will only give people trials they can endure and watch them grow. Of course, I will give those damn bastards an ordeal that will cause them to die young.
“But when are we going to the sea?”
“Just finish the work here. It will take about a week or two.”
“Right now, the Kingdom of Estonia is requesting a visit because of my work with the Demon King. It will take some time because of that.”
“Those in power are annoying. Agape lived in the mountains, so have you ever met Leona?”
“I don’t know about the people on the temple side, but I haven’t met many people on the kingdom side. If something needs to be decided or something like that, other people do it…”
“I know what it’s like even without looking.”
Will the guys who gaslighted the warrior Leona act differently when the kingdom people come? Isn’t there anyone who asks about the intention of the tool?
If there was something that needed to be discussed and discussed with the kingdom, they would have just done it among themselves without asking Leona’s opinion. And I also take advantage of the benefits that come from it.
… No matter how I think about it, the Pope’s gang died so gracefully. By now, the Mongolian Death Worm would probably have been digested and turned into feces in its stomach, but they should have at least caught it and tortured it to make it regret being born.
Still, there is no use in regretting the past. It doesn’t matter if you’re not dead or if you’re dead, the result is the same.
Anyway, after coming down to the oracle, Agape and Leona were treated as my wives, and I was treated as another avatar of a god, so I felt uncomfortable staying in the temple. So, we prepare for our last trip here and prepare to depart.
“She said she needed pocket money, so she put some gold coins in her pocket.”
“I want to get pocket money too!!!!”
“I don’t know if anyone is telling the truth, but I think it’ll be hard to get pocket money. I’ll give it to you, so just show off.”
“Oh!!!!!”
Considering the position of agape, even if she gives money, it is difficult for her to give it in the form of pocket money. Since he is the devil, even if he wants to receive it, others will give it out of good faith or something.
It’s really hard not to have someone to fool around with. I don’t think it’s a big deal that I become an orphan at a high rate every time I’m reincarnated, but when I think back to the first time when my parents suddenly passed away, and I had to take care of my younger siblings, I really feel like there’s no one to lean on and show me weak.
The only adult Agape can trust is me… I’m worried because she’s the one who will leave, but I think she’s a little relieved because she has Leona and friends.
“I heard that you are going on a trip. I sent word to the temple near the port city, so if you have any problems later, you can ask for help there.”
“Thank you for your convenience.”
“I would like to add a few Holy Knights to the group, but…”
“I don’t know if there’s anyone who can beat them even if they leave me out. It’s rather inconvenient.”
There was no one who stopped me and Agape and Leona from going on her trip. In the case of Leona, she may have been a reactionary to having been gaslighted and chained to the temple, but there were even people who gave her gifts and told her to have a good trip.
Looking at this, I think there were good people in the Holy Light Temple. It’s just that what I’ve seen before is really shitty.
If God is relatively sane and the people who follow him are okay, it can become such a clean religion. After all, human greed is the root of all evil.
“Ooh!!! What a cool carriage!!!!”
“The temple’s pattern is also engraved on it. If you do this, you won’t have to worry about being targeted by thieves.”
“Even if it’s late, I can travel by carriage. The last part will be a bit more comfortable.”
The temple even provided a carriage. At first, some nobles prepared four-horse carriages to break the law, but when the scale was too large, they had to manage it, and it was inconvenient, so they agreed to just use two-horse carriages.
The carriage was quite nice, so I could sleep inside, so I didn’t think there was a need to set up a tent. Hmm, a trip like this is good in its own way.
So we boarded the carriage and headed towards the sea. Since the Kingdom of Estonia was the only human kingdom, the land was large and there were coastal cities, so that was the target.
“If the land is too big, it is rather difficult to manage…”
“There is nothing we can do. If there are no people, monsters will come and return to the wild. It is said that it is much more difficult to pioneer it.”
“To do that, we need to at least develop distribution technology. We only have carriages here.”
If the land is large and abundant in resources, it can serve as a basic background. However, it is useless if there is no foundation to operate it.
In order for humans to prosper, we must accelerate the circulation of resources by developing distribution technology. Only then will development accelerate and that will happen… Ah, I don’t know about other places, but is this too human-centered? Because there are monsters too.
“Then what should we do?”
“There are many monsters that can fly on their own, so we should focus on that and further develop them. Being able to fly is an advantage in itself. Just saying, if you throw a rock from the sky, you won’t be able to do anything.”
“Oh!!!! I see!!!”
“Hmm, then I guess I’ll have to work on magic or something like that later and develop flying skills. Magic is supported by the kingdom, so I guess I should talk to them…”
No, why am I like this?
Since they are the representatives of both monsters and humans, they must be interested in it, so I can’t say anything about it, but it still feels a bit strange. I think there will be some kind of industrial revolution next time.
“Ah, that’s right. And as I become a real demon lord, I gain one more ability!!!!”
“Really? What kind of ability is it?”
“Improvement of monsters!!!!”
“Improvement?”
“Like breed improvement, I can evolve monsters the way I want. However, it may take some time.”
“Oh, really?”
Depending on its application, it is an ability that can create any monster. Probably, just as Agape can transform its own body into that of a monster, it seems to be the ability to perform it on other monsters.
Just looking at that, her ability itself is more agape than Leona’s, but… Apart from her individual abilities, Leona has human sociality and various skills that come from it. Perhaps the unity itself would be better for humans than for monsters, which are made up of multiple species.
“… Agape, can’t we create strange monsters?”
“What kind of strange monster is it?”
“It’s a monster that randomly kills people.”
“Even if I make it that way, in the end, it’s up to the monster I created, right? No matter how I make it’s physical characteristics, it won’t be like a murderous monster that only kills humans unless I order it to kill humans.”
I guess so. I heard from the Holy Gwangshin before that there should be no malice in the war for the evolution of the two gods, so even if Agape, the devil, makes it so, no demons with malice will come out.
However, she has the ability to improve breeds at will… So I’m quite interested. If you put your mind to it, wouldn’t it be possible to create a monster that is much better for farming than a cow, has good fuel efficiency, and has a gentle personality?
“Oh, that’s right. Now that I think about it, I remembered that.”
“That?”
“I said I would go back. However, since I have been away for a long time, it would be a bit awkward to return empty-handed. Can you create a monster with blood that can be transfused to humans?”
“Do you need something like a souvenir? Of course, it would be nice, but…”
“Didn’t I tell you? I am the president over there, so I am like a king. I have a term of office, so I will step down after a few years, but if I rest for a long time, I will be respected only if I bring something helpful to the people.”
“Wow!!!! It was King Worst!!!!”
“This is my first time hearing that. What country is it? How many people are there? I want to hear it.”
To be honest, no matter how hard I wander around and do everything right, it is difficult to say that Korea is a good country because it has not been able to properly deal with the rot that has accumulated over several decades.
Still, I can’t say anything bad to the kids. With eyes full of anticipation like that, isn’t it a bit like destroying your innocence?
“It’s a good country. It’s a place where there are only humans, but they’re not humans created by the Holy Light God, and the population is 5,000… No, when unified, it’s about 70 million.”
“Wow!!! That’s a lot!!! I wonder if there will be 10 million people even if the entire kingdom is collected…”
“There are no monsters?”
“There are no monsters, but there are animals. Oh, and there are dinosaurs too.”
“Dinosaur?”
“It’s an animal that lived in our world before humans appeared. It’s a reptilian species like the Drake we saw before… The bigger ones are so big that they can be compared to super-sized monsters.”
“Oh, there are kids like that. I’d like to see them.”
“There’s like an island with dinosaurs like that, so come and see me later.”
First, since this is my hometown, I plan to keep my children here until they grow up… But once they become adults, they can choose their own path, so if my thoughts remain unchanged then, I’m thinking about bringing them home.
I have collected and taught, but it is not right to just throw it away and irresponsibly throw it away. Even though we only dated for a few months, we became attached to her and raised her like a daughter.
“Now that I think about it, Mr. Worst, do you have a family? It’s a basic question, but I didn’t even ask you that.”
“Oh, of course there are. There are a lot of them… But there are also wives and daughters.”
“Oh, how old is your daughter?”
“I’m 10 years older than you guys.”
It’s a bit weird to have a daughter older than you or a mother younger than you. No, in the latter case, Eden said that her mother has grown, so she would like it.
Come to think of it, I don’t know much about Leona, but I think Agape would go well with Eden.
Her personality is similar.
… It’s scary because it seems like the two of us will just go out and buy things together instead. They both have outstanding abilities, but their personalities are eccentric, so I don’t know what kind of synergy will occur.
Anyway, we spent some time talking about various things while moving to the port city. Agape began experimenting with small monsters that passed by in order to breed the monsters for blood transfusion that I requested.
“I need a human blood sample to use as a specimen.”
“Then use mine. You can use Leona’s girl, but the humans here are creatures of the Holy Light God. If possible, it’s better to use mine, the human there.”
It will probably have a better effect and nothing bad will happen. Transcendant, that’s also Lord’s blood.
If I were to just use my blood directly, there could be problems such as clones, but this is for simple sample purposes and ultimately what I will use later is the blood of the monster for transfusion. So, there was no chance of trouble, so I gave my blood right away.
Agape is my blood and a small monster found around me… Like a rat? Anyway, she took this guy, tried various things, improved it, and completed it just as the port city was just around the corner.
“It’s done!!!!”
“Oh… Is it cute?”
“It’s really cute… So much so that I thought about raising it even if it wasn’t a monster.”
The blood transfusion monster that Agape created was a monster that looked like a mix of a squirrel, a hedgehog, or a Pomeranian. It is slightly larger than the head of an adult male, but looking at its proportions, it is generous enough to be thought of as bulky. It was so round that it was hard to distinguish between the head, neck, and body.
Even though it wasn’t long, it had fur, so it looked fluffy, and the arms and legs looked cute as if they were slightly sticking out. The face is so cute, like looking at a baby animal, that I want to hug it.
“If they are small, there is less amount to draw when blood is drawn, so they have grown in size. Since the people of Worst’s country are large, there is no need to run out of blood, so their reproductive capacity is good. They are omnivores that eat anything, so there is no need to worry about food.”
“What is your personality?”
“They’re gentle. If you let them out in the wild, they’d probably live at the bottom.”
Well, that can’t be helped. Because it is not an animal that has the means to protect itself, but a monster created from the beginning solely for blood transfusion.
Still, if you take him in and raise him, he will be raised well. To those who lack blood, he will be treated as if he were a divine beast, so we should release him into the Garden of Eden and raise him well so that he lacks nothing.
“What?”
“… Why is he crying so cutely?”
“I think the lovely appearance will be popular!!!”
But apart from being a blood transfusion monster, it’s really cute.
I have a feeling that if I bring it to Earth in the future, there will be people who keep it as a pet because of this.
