Chapter 1927 – [Return of the Great Demon King]

One way or another, the most important thing in this incident was the rescue of the kidnapping victims. We had to find out the number and location of the kidnapped people and transport them to Horizon. It seemed like it would be quite difficult, but it was easier than expected.

Although it is said to have been misused, it is a civilization whose magic and science have advanced to the point where it possesses dimensional technology. Moreover, from this point of view, slaves were a national asset, so they were managed strictly, and now, thanks to that, we have been able to enjoy convenience.

“This is the list of current Earth slaves… No, victims.”

“It’s organized faster than I thought. Oh, does it even include location information?”

“Yes, Earthlings summoned through dimension summoning immediately carve the slave emblem, so they can obtain simple information in real time through the slave emblem.”

“What is the possibility that we won’t be able to figure it out because the slave sentence has been lifted?”

“That won’t happen. Even if you cut off the hand with the emblem on it, the emblem itself is like a simple symbol, so even if you cut it off, the slave magic will not disappear. Rather, for fear of escape, we will immediately relay the location information to the nearest government office.”

“Isn’t there a possibility that it was released through legal procedures? For example, a noble who bought a slave because he liked it gave him a crest.”

“All earthlings summoned to the dimension are owned by the imperial family. Nobles and wealthy people who purchase slaves also lease them permanently, so the ownership itself lies with the imperial family. Unless you rebel against the imperial family, the slave emblem cannot be lifted.”

“These bastards are strangely meticulous. Thanks to you, we can save them all.”

First, many of the Earthling victims gathered here were of Asian descent. Of course, it’s not like that for all of them, and there are a few Westerners, but it seems like they were collected on purpose.

Everyone looks anxious. Just now, I used my will to beat the referee and destroy the moon so that all the residents here could hear it. It’s only natural.

“Because I’m Korean, that was good for gathering people of Asian descent. I was dropped into a remote area where I didn’t know anything, but just the fact that we were from the same Asian region created a bond. It wasn’t our faction, but there were other factions made up of Earthlings from the U.S. And Europe. There is also.”

“I guess I should look there too.”

“Oh, that’s right. But can’t you just say a few words before the rescue? Everyone is anxious.”

“Uh… He’s one of the great demon kings trying to destroy this place, but isn’t that going to have the opposite effect?”

“No one but us knows that you are the Great Demon Lord. Even when judging, if you speak with your will, be polite and pretend to be someone else, there will be no problem.”

“Hmm, that makes sense.”

No one will ever see me in person when I judge. More attention was focused on the Phantom, a giant of the abyss, and it was invisible to the naked eye as it was located in the sky above the Aiol Empire. So you don’t know my face.

Unless I intentionally say it out loud, no one will recognize that I am the Great Demon King. So, I think it would be enough to just portray him as a human from another dimension who was requested to rescue victims.

Then I stood in front of people. The number of people Ruri gathered seemed to be a little less than a thousand, but considering the number that one person could have saved, it was a very large number. Wouldn’t it be great if we could have saved a thousand people, even if we had collaborators?

Anyway, I said hello to the kidnapping victims. Even among Asians, the languages ​​they use are different, but since they can use the Ami Aiol imperial language, there was no problem.

“Nice to meet you guys. I’m the worst person to be in charge of rescuing you this time. I’m from Earth with you.”

“Yes…?”

“What?”

“However, this is not the Earth you know. Just as you already know the existence of other dimensions, there are countless dimensions, and among them, there are many places that are just like Earth. I am the worst person from there. This time, at the request of the Great Demon Kings, I have to rescue you all. I’m here to do it for you.”

“Ah…!!!”

“Really?! Is that true?!”

“Can I go back home!!!!”

“Well, I’m Japanese!!!! I want to go back to Japan, back home!!!”

The reactions of people who had lived in despair but now had hope were passionate. There is vitality in my exhausted mind and body.

It is said that all Earth slaves were owned by the imperial family, so none of them were in such bad condition. But apart from that, my mind was a mess… I feel fortunate that I was able to save it before it was too late.

“First, we will transfer you to our Earth as refugees. And after dealing with your mental problems and other issues, we will send you back to your original Earth. We would appreciate your cooperation.”

“Well, can’t we go back right away?”

“If you return suddenly, the problem will only increase. We need time to prepare for each other, so we are making you stay in our district in the meantime. Actually, it is a bit of a problem because we are also preparing suddenly, but it is okay because the response is faster than that of the other district. .”

At that time, among the people, a man with eyes full of suspicion glared at me and asked.

“… What should you believe and follow?”

“What do you mean?”

“Who knows that they will take us away and make us slaves just like they did?”

“It’s natural for you to be suspicious, but…”

These are people who were brought to an unfamiliar land overnight and lived as inhumane and unethical slaves. However, if someone shows up out of nowhere and offers to help, it’s not strange to be suspicious.

The situation is like that, and they don’t know that I am the Great Demon King, so they come out like that, so you have to understand. It was one of the reactions I expected anyway.

“I have a social position over there. It’s not much different from the Earth you think of, and there are human rights issues, so there’s no need to treat me like a slave.”

“Social position? How about becoming president?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right. I am the current president of the unified Republic of Korea.”

“… What?”

“Yes? What now…”

“South Korea on the other side of the planet was unified after North Korea collapsed. I am the president of that country.”

“?”

The president suddenly came out, but people seemed to have gained some credibility. If I’m going to lie, I’ll tell a more persuasive lie and not mention the president.

And I opened the Dimension Gate in front of them. It leads to the Horizon and will take them to a safe place.

“You can enter this way. After entering, we will guide you to your room. There, you can wash, eat, rest comfortably, and get your body together. If there are any changes or related problems, you can tell the artificial intelligence in the room.”

Then a woman raised her hand and she urgently called to me. I thought there was another complaint, but it wasn’t, it was related to an acquaintance I made here.

Since she was a woman, I thought she might have had a lover on this side like Ruri… But it was on the other side. To her, it doesn’t matter if the man dies because he is a cheap bastard, but the problem is the life that comes from it.

“Hey, hey!!! Just a moment!!!”

“Yes, what’s going on?”

“I have a child. Can the child come with me…?”

“Even if the child is like that, what about the child’s father?”

“It’s okay if he dies. Rapist… Ha, but he’s not guilty.”

“That’s right. First, you can also rescue people who have been friendly to you or have family here. If you tell the detailed information to the artificial intelligence on board later, they will board you in the same way, so don’t worry and board first.”

“Yes, yes!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!!”

“Um, can we survive too?! We saved the people of Earth and came this far!!!”

“Me too!!!!”

“Even though the situation is like this, you put in a lot of effort, so it’s going to happen. Let’s go in together.”

“Thank you!!!! Thank you so much!!!!”

Even if the victims are like that, saving the residents here would also be a task… Oh, it would be nice if there was something like resident registration. Is there one? I don’t know if it exists because they manage slaves that way.

Anyway, the people gathered here were sent beyond the Dimension Gate to Horizon. There, separate business drones, androids, and artificial intelligence on board will take care of them. I’ll organize and send the imperialists to be rescued separately, so let’s rescue other victims in the meantime.

Nuri distributed his power to the victims who entered the Horizon. Nuri’s power, which has the power of ‘freedom’, frees those who are bound by the sentence of slavery.

“Wait a minute, lift the slave sentences for the rescued victims.”

“Now that I think about it, your power is good at solving things like that. Ruri, you too, solve it this time.”

“I still need it. The slave sentence has an interpretation function, but without it, I can’t speak here. Even though I received the Black Crystal of Freedom in the first place, I haven’t solved it yet.”

“Ah, I see… But you can cast such lasting magic on ordinary people? What do you do with the mana?”

“Even ordinary people have a little bit of mana. And what they lack is made up for with life force. The life force consumed isn’t that much, but wouldn’t it reduce the original lifespan by about 10 years? However, it’s meaningless since no one enjoys heavenly life.”

“… Very diverse.”

Since it’s a consumable item in the first place, they don’t care about lifespan. The more you criticize these bastards, the more shit comes out.

Later on, I wonder if I should give people some kind of elixir to supplement their lifespan. Let’s look at that later… Since I can hear noises from outside, I guess I’ll have to move quickly.

The outside of the hall where the victims were gathered was a mess. Explosions and fires broke out here and there, and rioters began to occupy the streets. In short, this is what the world looks like in the end.

“It’s the end!!! It’s the end!!!!!”

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

“This is all because of the imperial family and nobility!!!! Kill them!!!! If you kill them and apologize to the Great Demon Lords, they might forgive you!!!!!”

“Slaves!!! Why do we have to die because of slaves!!! Kill them too!!!!!”

People who are cornered do not think rationally. They just run wild as they please, destroying and burning their endless hatred and anger.

However, I am worried that the direction of those emotions will be directed towards the kidnapping victims of Earth. Even now, there are people who are looking for slaves and trying to kill them, so if you make a mistake, the victims could die before they have any hope of returning home.

“Then we should announce it separately. It would be better to be the object of greed, like a treasure, than to be the object of hatred.”

“Notice?”

Eventually, Nuri’s will informed the entire Aiol Empire of one fact.

[Ah, this is from Nuri, the Great Demon King of Freedom. Originally, we were planning to save only Earth victims, but there are also Imperials requesting relief there. Therefore, we will only save some people who the people of Earth request to be saved, so please make this clear.]

“What?!”

“You can live?! Really?!”

“Find them!!!!! Find the slaves!!!!!! Then you can live!!!!”

“Arena!!! Changguan!!!! Or nobles or palace slaves!!!!”

“You want to climb over the imperial palace wall…?”

“What does it matter when we are about to die!!!! The monster that can destroy the moon is going to destroy us, so we have to live as emperors and brats!!!!!”

“That guy is trying to kill Earthling slaves!!!”

“Stop that bastard!!! No, kill him!!!!”

In an instant, the people of Earth went from being objects of hatred to becoming golden goblins. Of course, you can’t kill them, and the only thing you get is their life… No, but that doesn’t mean you think that an Earthling who has been forcefully captured will obediently spare the other person’s life, right?

Now the people of Earth are in A’s position. Of course, there may be side effects, but it won’t last long anyway, and it’s much better than dying of resentment.

“First, Ruri… Argo, are you going to move with us? Honestly, it would be more convenient if a local person accompanied us.”

“Yes, it would be safer for me to move along. Moreover, wouldn’t it be an opportunity to see the interesting scenes you mentioned earlier?”

“You’re saying you’re going to see it from a special seat. Rather, it’s a welcome.”

“And I am also good at handling artifacts that can determine the location of Earthlings. If I were there, the rescue work would be easier.”

“Oh!!! Argo has become more proactive. Is it because he can now abuse his family members?”

“No, well… I don’t have that feeling.”

Looking at it, Ruri seems to know what Argo’s situation is. If they were that open-minded, they would have almost seen the ball.

When I go back, Ruri will have her wedding… No, wait a minute!!!! Come to think of it, Revoluchon Ruri was a minor, around middle school age!!!! Argo, that kid is in his early 20s even if he plays well!!!!!

Since her opponent was Ruri, she was so preoccupied with that she didn’t even think about it!!!!! The age difference would be about the same age!!!!!

“Unexpected!!! In fact, we are the same as Chinese Zodiac signs!!!!”

“Don’t you Ruri people ever like ordinary people?!”

“Love only burns more when there are adversities and obstacles!!!!”

“Look at how Ruri-like has become since the slaves were liberated… Bitter.”

I don’t know what the adult age is here, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to be a lover and get married to someone whose age is about the same age as yours, no matter where you go. No, if my family were to get married to that much of an age difference, they would bring packed lunches and stop me, wouldn’t it be terrible?

Argo seemed to know this, too, as she just lowered her head with a subtle expression as if she had nothing to say even though she had ten mouths.

“I have nothing to say…”

“Okay, what’s wrong with you? If Ruri attacked her, she attacked her. And if her favorite person attacked her, she actually likes them even more.”

“We haven’t crossed the line yet. But… How do you know so well?”

“When you live with people like Ruri’s twins, you learn even if you don’t like them.”

Former Mad Max Ruri, current pirate king Ruri, and Yongruri.

As someone who had been lovers with Ruri who was three physically and two mentally, it was rather strange not to know. Honestly, it was pretty good.

“I have one thing to say: If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.”

“Yes?!”

“And be sure to use contraception. It’s no joke if a minor gets pregnant on this side or the other side of the Earth.”

“I have no intention of sleeping together until I become an adult!!!”

“That’s your opinion.”

Next to him, Ruri smiled brightly. No, she was smiling, but her eyes were not smiling in a different way. Ruri’s eyes were like those of a predator.

The eyes of a hawk aiming for its prey…!!!!
