Chapter 1929 – [Return of the Great Demon King]

While giving the imperial family a one-night reprieve, we went around rescuing other Earthlings separately.

Most of them were privately owned slaves of nobles or corporations, so some were in good condition and some were bad. Of course, the ownership itself was owned by the imperial family, so they could not harm or kill him, but being mentally exhausted was a different problem.

Because the slave sentence only checks the physical condition of the target, it cannot determine the mental condition. All she had to do was survive… She realized it when she saw a woman lying on the bed and staring blankly into space. The feeling was so bad.

“Uh, ah…”

“Oh my, this person…”

“Mental collapse? I’m on the verge of that. I think I may have had an abortion because I wasn’t using birth control. Furthermore, I need to get some special care.”

“The mental problem is difficult, but if you take mental care with spiritual cooking over there, it will improve to some extent. Ah, Argo. What happens to the children born to Earthlings? What about the children of Earthlings on the Changguan side?”

“First, there are no children in the Changgwan. It is a public warehouse run by the imperial family, so birth control is done through birth control magic. There are probably privately owned Earthlings.”

“I’m asking about the treatment of those children. Are they treated as slaves?”

“There are people who raise them, but I know that most of them are sent to orphanages. And I know that raising them is not a good goal.”

“It’s not a good purpose?”

“It is impossible to directly commit suicide with a slave sentence, but it is possible to commit suicide by harming oneself by starving oneself… I have heard that sometimes people are taken hostage to prevent them from dying.”

“Ha, fuck, really. I’m not even angry anymore.”

Come to think of it, when we first rescued the Earthlings, there was a woman who beat up the father and asked only her child to be rescued. Maybe that’s why she’s there. It’s so disgusting that they don’t see you as a real person and say that shit. I’m so fucking angry.

Still, it will all be over in a few days, so just be patient. For now, let’s focus on rescuing the people of Earth first.

“It looks like the remaining Earthlings were transported to the imperial palace while we were moving. Now, we have rescued all the Earthlings except for those gathered in the imperial palace.”

“It would be fine to attack right away… But first, we have to take care of the victims we rescued. There will be citizens of the empire who will ask us to save them there.”

Anyway, it was decided to give the imperial family a one-day delay. Since there are already all the remaining Earthling victims, it would be nice to go and rescue them right away, but it would have been better to let them do their best and then let them despair. It is also simply called hope torture.

The feeling of despair when you don’t achieve what you want even though you did everything you could is so enjoyable. At least other people may not know, but they were the main culprits of this conviction, so they needed to die feeling that despair.

Although they rested at Horizon for about half a day, not a day at most, the Earthling victims seemed to have regained some stability. That, not the other thing, seemed to be effective.

“That’s the Aiol Empire…”

“I’ve never seen anything like this on Earth…”

Horizon is staying in orbit of the satellite of the planet where the Aiol civilization is located. Thanks to this, I was able to see the planet Aiol, a blue star like Earth, at a glance from places where I could see the outside scenery.

It is a psychological relief to look at the place of painful memories from a position that makes it seem very small. From the victim’s perspective, it is natural to feel relieved if the perpetrator is isolated or far away.

Moreover, just in case, the people of the empire whom they hoped to save had, to a large extent, divided into districts and divided their activity radii. For some, he may be a benefactor during slavery, but for others, he is a member of an empire that can cause trauma.

However, if the parties request it, they can meet somewhere else. This isn’t some kind of camp, so there should be that level of freedom.

“Have you eaten?”

“Ah!!! President!!!”

“President? That’s not the president, but the town…”

The people I rescued normally knew that I was the President of Korea from Earth from another dimension, but there was a difference in information because I told the people I rescued in the arena that I was the Great Demon King.

But I made a gesture telling them to be quiet. I will go to the other side of the Earth as a refugee, but if I make a mistake, and it becomes known that I am the Great Demon King, it will be bothersome.

I will silence them separately in the future, but if there are people who later reveal that I am the Great Demon King, I will go find them myself. It is no coincidence that I was not discovered to be the Great Demon Lord even though dimensional civilizations such as Delta Castle and Dark Lord Castle visited from the other side of the Earth.

No, would a member of a civilization who knows a lot about transcendental beings and the Great Demon King reveal that I am the Great Demon King for no reason? Then, I’m going to threaten you, and at that time, neither Gray nor Phantom will listen to you and tell you to do whatever you want. Then I saw all the balls.

Anyway, I’m glad the Earthling victims are doing well. It’s only been a day, but there’s a good chance of recovery.

“Well, Mr. President. But the slave manager I told you about…”

“Me too, me too. There are people of the empire I want to save.”

“The people of the empire who gave you hope in surviving so far will also proceed with rescue. I may have already told the artificial intelligence on board separately, but the more information you have about the target, the faster it will be obtained, so you can tell me later when you remember relevant information. “

I have no intention of saving all civilized people of Aiol just because they treated me a little kindly. I plan to draw a line there.

If it’s a benefactor who knows the name or identity of the person, then of course you should get it. Anyone who paid that much attention would have at least maintained neutrality in the area of ​​Earthling slaves.

However, if you only know the name or not even that, your priority will inevitably fall behind. No, honestly, time is limited, so you can’t find someone whose name you don’t know first, right?

So if you really want to save it, you’ll have to squeeze out your memories. Don’t think of saving a person who will be judged without that much effort.

For now, I left that to Miller, the person in charge of Horizon’s control… And then Utopia slowly emerged.

“What?”

“No, isn’t the reaction too cold? I already came to help with the work.”

“You’re really helping by just staying quiet. I just came here because I thought the situation would be fun.”

“No!!!! How did you know?!”

“Why are you reacting like Ruri? Did you transfer it to Nuri?”

“Well, I’m not lying when I say I’m helping. I sensed a strange reaction.”

“Strange reaction?”

“Currently, this dimension is taking dimensional blockade measures. Since I blocked it, even a transcendental higher than me cannot cross the dimension without leaving a trace, so of course, if they want to jump to the dimension, they will catch me. But there was something that hit me like a bird strike… This. If you look at it, perhaps someone is trying to force you to move between dimensions?”

“Hmm.”

A bird strike is an aviation accident term that refers to an accident in which an airplane collides with a bird while flying. What Utopia was saying was that the dimension was blocked, but people spontaneously crashed into it and died.

I called Argo just in case. And I asked him to separately figure out the number of slaves on Earth.

“The numbers do not change. If a person dies or the slave emblem is disconnected, there will be a difference in numbers in some way, but there is no such thing.”

“The worst outcome was avoided.”

“Are you using Earthling slaves as test subjects to escape across dimensions from this planet?”

“Yes, since he knows the approximate coordinates of the Earth, he could have gone overboard and tried to gain social status through magic or something like that. But seeing as he didn’t use up any useful resources, it seems like the emperor did it.”

But at this point, the people of Earth were the golden goblins, or golden tickets. As long as he survived, there was a chance that he would somehow survive the Great Demon King’s subsequent judgment. In fact, with that intention, Nuri announced it through his will.

In a crowded situation, the more resources there are, the better resources (the people of the earth) are consumed? Even if all Earth slaves were nominally members of the imperial family, they would not be consumed in such an uncertain manner under the current circumstances.

So… It is currently being used as a dimensional travel experiment, but the people entering it will not be Earthlings but Imperials. In order to survive, they may be trying to find another way to understand the coordinates and situation, not knowing that the dimension may have been blocked. And the only person in the imperial family who can make such a decision is the emperor.

“Wow, you have a good head. If you were born in a decent civilization, you would have become a saint.”

“That’s right.”

In fact, the Aiol civilization is also an advanced civilization. It’s just that it’s focused on technology.

The emperor here was making good use of the advanced technology, but human rights issues were holding him back. If human rights issues had been developed further, he would have chosen a different option.

But it’s already too late. Before the human rights issue, he had the opportunity to question his conscience. He asked, ‘Is it okay to treat people from a highly advanced civilization who are similar to themselves, only without magic, as slaves without human rights?’ And so on.

And since he chose that way based on conscientious choices rather than human rights and ethics, the emperor deserves to be scolded. Since it was not a democratic society, it was no exaggeration to say that much of the responsibility for this situation lay with the emperor.

“Anyway, struggling to survive is quite comical. It’s like watching an egg being thrown at a rock.”

“I don’t know if only imperial people are used as test subjects, but I don’t know if more people are gathered. I was planning to go tomorrow anyway…”

“Shall I go with you?”

“If you’re coming to watch and not help, then just leave.”

“Hmm, then let’s wait until later. Anyway, just observing things now is really fun.”

People who are driven to do whatever they want are not surprised no matter what they do. The people of Earth will not carelessly kill them in a situation that is no different from a lottery, but you never know what will happen if they are really pushed to the end.

Especially now that all the remaining Earth victims are gathered in the imperial palace, it would be better to rescue them before that happens. Anyway, the grace period has passed, and it is time to deal with it.

“Nuri, and Ruri and Argo. We’ll get ready and leave.”

“Are you going to the imperial palace?”

“Of course.”

“Argo’s family must be there too.”

“I heard there was something going on… What exactly happened?”

“… I am actually the eldest son of the Earl of Norton. Originally, I would have been the heir, but now I am merely a slave manager.”

“Oh, you were kicked out because of slave human rights?”

“Yes, because the Earth slave industry was an issue led by the imperial family, and the Earl of Norton was an imperialist. He also had a younger brother, so there was no need to deliberately appoint someone with opinions that went against the will of the imperial family as his successor.”

“After that, I left home, got a job here, and met Ruri.”

“When I think about it now, it was a good thing. At least I went down the path I wanted and was acknowledged that it was the right choice.”

“Yes, you are right and they are wrong. The price of choosing wrong is death and destruction.”

That’s not how the world works, so many absurd and unreasonable things happen, but I think that if you made the right choice and worked hard, you should be rewarded.

This is my opinion not as the Great Demon Lord, but as the Lord of Winter, the Lord in charge of trials. It doesn’t mean that you will get anything just because you worked hard, but if you worked hard and did something good, you should get something. So, my blessing as a roadie is also a blessing of gaining something with my limbs intact instead of going through trials.

Anyway, we were ready to move. After gathering all these things, we open the Dimension Gate and head to the imperial capital, the center of the empire, and the most important imperial palace in the imperial capital.

When you think of an imperial palace, you might think of an old-fashioned castle with walls, spires, or something like that, but this is a magical civilization. Technology has also developed considerably… Anyway.

The imperial palaces of those civilizations were different in appearance. First, there is no castle wall. However, what replaced it was a translucent dome that completely surrounded the imperial palace.

“That’s a lot of power. Even if I showered with a nuclear bomb, this place would still be fine.”

“It is the most important facility in the Imperial Capital… Moreover, the fact that the mana force field, which is originally invisible, is visible at least semi-transparently means that the output has been increased, and the defenses have been strengthened. It will not be easy to enter.”

“I guess that’s usually the case.”

Even now, numerous people who were dissatisfied with the imperial family were gathering in front of the imperial palace, rioting, and struggling to get inside.

“I’m dying!!!!!”

“This is all because of the imperial family who used earthling slaves!!!! Kill them!!! If you kill them and apologize to the Great Demon King, he might forgive you!!!!!”

“There are earthling slaves in the imperial palace!!!!! They are doing this so that only they can live!!!!”

“Kill!!!! The royal family, the nobles, we will kill them all!!!!!”

Not only magic, but a flying bus from far away? Truck? Something similar to that flies in and smashes into the mana force field. In addition to the amount of shock generated there, if the car body exploded, it would be a disaster, but the mana field did not move even a little.

The actions of the imperial people, who have turned into rioters in a situation where it is not possible to bring in the army, are only meaningless, but it is impossible to make a rational judgment in an insane situation. In the first place, they were doing that to relieve their uncontrollable anger.

“Let’s go in quickly.”

“How are you going to get in? That mana station is…”

“The black crystal of freedom is ejected☆!!!!!”

Eventually, one of the black crystals of freedom thrown by Nuri penetrates the mana force field. At the same time, a hole is created in the force field.

All restraints, prohibitions, seals, etc. Are meaningless in the face of the power of freedom. The mana field, which would have been fine even under a nuclear bomb shower, melted like butter in front of Nuri’s black crystal.

“It can be restored with a moderate amount of force, but should we just get rid of it all?”

“That’s later.”

Now, if the rioters break into the imperial palace and mess with the people of Earth, things will get even more troublesome. So, let’s just go in for now… But when we come out, we’ll already have done our business, so there’s no need to worry, right?

Honestly, don’t you think it would be very interesting to see an emperor who did something stupid get dragged in by angry people and be beaten to death?

“Revoluchon…!!!”

“Now that I think about it, this guy was Revoluchon Ruri?!”

I really don’t know what he would have done if he had just lived on the other side of the planet.
