Chapter 2039 – [If You Hit the Demon King, the Great Demon King Will Appear]
I heard in detail about this Demon Lord’s agenda from Phantom. From the reason for the convocation to the reason why I had to go. It takes some time, but since it is the final years of the presidency, there is plenty of time.
It all starts with one demon. There was a demon who became adrift while conducting research related to the development of dimension transfer magic. Luckily, he was rescued and placed under the protection of Dark Lord Castle, who was in charge of demons. Not only was he protected, but he was treated well because he was magically talented.
[If you are researching dimensional movement magic with government support rather than individuals, there is a high possibility that you will enter a dimensional civilization. So I treated him well.]
“So?”
[But they say I taught him so well that he went back and became the devil.]
“When I turned it on, even the king came.”
Aside from being the Great Demon King of the lower knights, if the phantom, who is a noble person, paid attention to just hitting the Demon King, wouldn’t it be strange that he couldn’t be a rank-level Demon?
Becoming a demon lord is a bit of a surprise, but not a huge surprise. I think they probably taught him a fair bit about dimensional civilization, so he wouldn’t do something pointless and try to lead the civilization properly.
But if I had just done that, Phantom wouldn’t have tried to ask me. Let’s get to the point.
[As you said, he knew about the existence of a dimensional civilization, so he became a demon king to lead the demons to enter it. He will provide me with a certain level of technical skills and have connections with me. He can receive various support and benefits once he enters the dimensional civilization.]
“But what’s the problem?”
[The problem is that the fucker did it…]
“I just fucking know.”
The enmity between humans and demons has been going on since ancient times. There is still racial discrimination on Earth based on skin color. How terrible is racial discrimination?
As they are different races, there are differences in basic specifications, culture, and common sense, so they are bound to fight with each other. The bloody history cannot be easily overcome, but…
[First, he extended a hand of reconciliation to the human kingdom. When we go to dimensional civilization, it will be much more helpful to cooperate together. And since I couldn’t keep fighting with my face red, I tried to sign a peace treaty with the mindset that we would have to reconcile someday, so let’s do it now…]
“You hit me in the back of the head?”
[That’s right. That’s why they contacted me after suffering quite a lot of damage.]
Even though I and Phantom are humans, I get really frustrated and angry when I see humans doing stupid things.
Of course, if the person you have been feuding with for a long time suddenly asks you to reconcile, you will be suspicious, but at the very least, you should be alert and watch, and refrain from making the first move just in case. When I heard people say that at best it would have been possible only after obtaining a justification for striking, it seemed like they just struck without any such justification.
I haven’t heard the whole story yet, but I have some questions. I asked him about that.
“Are the demons over there from another dimension?”
[No, they are native there.]
“Then it’s not an interdimensional invasion issue. After all, it’s an internal conflict within the same dimension, so what’s the problem?”
If a demon comes from another dimension and commits an act of aggression or something like that, it will be considered a dimensional invasion and the Great Demon King will be dispatched. In that case, since it is a demon issue, the main judge is the phantom.
However, since there are many types of demons, even if they come from another dimension, if they live in that dimension as a country or organization for more than a few generations, they are judged to be residents of that civilization and there is no problem of dimensional invasion. However, if it is a native species from the beginning, it is not a big problem.
If the Great Demon King gets involved in a conflict at the same level as the issue of racial differences, it becomes like the Great Demon King is concerned about the issue of racial discrimination on Earth. So, normally, this would not be an issue that would be on the agenda…
[Tell me the conclusion, or just explain the whole situation?]
“Normally, I’d just ask you to tell me the conclusion, but since it’s the Great Demon Lord’s agenda, I’ll have to listen to the whole story. Explain it.”
[First, the magical technological power of both the human kingdom and the demon nation is similar, but due to racial issues, the military power of the demon nation is superior. Moreover, there is a position called the Demon King that is achieved through force. How do you think the human kingdom would have behaved in a situation where it was pushed back by military power?]
“… Isn’t that what I think?”
[It’s a summoning of a hero, but what does it mean?]
“Sypal, is this another dimensional kidnapping agenda?”
I don’t know how long it’s been since I did something stupid in the Aiol civilization before.
However, unless you have learned this ability in advance like Eden, I don’t think calling someone from another dimension will help you in the fight, right?
[Ah, that’s their law. Even humans are basically born with magic power, and because of that magic power, they are influenced by magic. However, people who come from a world without any magical power cannot use magic. At best, it is indirectly communicated.]
“Are you from another world with a magic nullification option?”
This is really a dimensional kidnapping agenda.
Eden was similarly kidnapped in the past, but even though it was a personal issue at the time, it was not on the agenda of the Great Demon King. This is because the person who carried out the dimensional kidnapping was the local god, Morian.
What the Great Demon King judges is civilization. It is only when the civilization in question kidnaps an intelligent being from another dimension with its own clear intention that it becomes the Great Demon King’s agenda. If it cannot be done without God’s help, it will not go that far. So, didn’t I personally screw it up and hand it over to King Bloodier as a snack?
“I roughly understand the story. But why me?”
[First, Sienne and I are excluded due to fairness issues because we are familiar with the demon lord there. Excluding Nuri because he worked last time. Utopia is just excluded. Then, you are the right person because you can see clearly without bias.]
“If you work well, your workload should decrease. Why is your workload increasing?”
The reasons for exclusion are all reasonable, so I can’t say anything to refute it. There seems to be something strange about Utopia, but considering that bastard’s personality, you’ll look at it crookedly, so it’s better to get it out of the way from the beginning.
In that case, I have to go in the end. A friend of mine asked me to do something, but shouldn’t I go and take a look first?
At the very least, as the Lord of Darkness, the Phantom can discern the sins committed by the civilization through the abyss. But I can’t do that, so I have no choice but to go and see for myself. Even if it wasn’t, I would still go and see it due to my personality.
[Oh, that’s right. And the heroes summoned there are from Earth. That’s why I told you.]
“No, you fucking should have told me that a long time ago, you bastard!!!!!! There are heroes?! How many of them were summoned?!”
[Approximately 20 people? That’s because the whole class was summoned.]
“It sucks because it’s such an ambiguous situation. These days, the birth rate has dropped, so 20 is still a lot.”
[Hey, if it was at the level of the 20th century, it would have been that ship, so wouldn’t it be better?]
“Anyway, just give me some basic information. I’ll go and check it out later.”
[I thought you would accept it. I will tell you basic information and such, so go and see for yourself and if you think it is not right, call the meeting.]
“What are you doing when you want to beat up the gathering?”
[Privately, yes. Because they are the kind of people who stab the children I raised in the back. But as the Great Demon King, is that okay?]
“I’m glad I got that part out of the way. Anyway, I’ll contact you later.”
The Great Demon King does not include his/her opinion on the judgment part. Even if he puts it in, he definitely takes advantage of it.
For example, when I was active as Raccoon Man in my previous life, I was so angry at the Japanese that I was called out, and as a demerit, Korea, where I lived, was the first to be judged. Just like that, the Great Demon King does not put personal feelings into it.
At least, I don’t know when it’s time to convene, but when it comes to judging… Well, in this case, since the Phantom is the chairman of the Great Demon King, he looked at it more strictly and left it to me on purpose. If it was like anyone else, it would be a demerit and a mistake, and first, from the convocation. I would have hit him.
Anyway, since something happened, I decided to make a separate plan. In addition to the basic knowledge over there sent by Phantom, I had to learn some related materials and later take me there once.
I have to postpone going to my parents’ house with Cheonma, but it doesn’t take a month or two to judge, so I have some time to spare. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t take up to a month to explore civilization.
“I wonder why on earth I come to work when I’m trying to rest.”
“I don’t think the Absolute Destiny is acting like hell again. Anyway, I’ll visit briefly this election season.”
“Anyway, how many people are judging this time?”
“Uh… Wait a minute. I’m not sure about that.”
The Great Demon King’s judgment does not proceed in even numbers. Since he has to judge somehow even if there are abstentions, he judges in odd numbers to avoid ambiguity as much as possible.
Therefore, the number of people gathered is 1, 3, or 5. One of these three. Even if they gather in an even number, they will take their own steps and stand by, leaving room for others.
In the case of this civilization… Um, first, are you sure about me, Phantom, and Sienne? There is a high possibility that Nuri and Utopia will fall out, so I think it will be judged by the three of them.
First, I will tell a separate story to Cheonma, who will be going on vacation with me this election season. He knew that I was the Great Demon King, so rather than expressing displeasure when I heard that he was going to work, he showed interest.
“Oh, are you going to judge civilization?…”
“Isn’t it uncomfortable?”
“What? If my man is a famous judge like Po Qingtian, shouldn’t he be proud?”
“It’s not something that deserves praise.”
“At least they are making an effort to judge cases with integrity and neutrality. How many people have that much power and work for the greater good rather than for self-interest?”
“Thank you for giving me that gold coat. Anyway, I’m going to go there and visit my parents, so I’m getting ready with the kids.”
“Okay, then let’s see then.”
And I even made a separate announcement before the election season. Previously, when I was revising the Constitution in relation to my second term, the former president was not allowed to campaign at all, so I had to say something separately because I would not be around for a while.
At least in this presidential election, the outcome was obvious, so I gave up. Actually, having said this, I would be embarrassed if I were to be defeated, but I would rather risk the embarrassment and be defeated.
“It’s me, you bastards.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah, election season has come again.
-Isn’t the Emperor being reappointed again this time?
-There is something I did this time, and I will be elected again. Honestly, isn’t it strange that he didn’t get elected?
-ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ
“You guys are such a nuisance. Anyway, this is the last broadcast before this election. I won’t be around for a while, so take care of yourself.”
-What? Unlike usual, why didn’t you say you wouldn’t be elected?
“I have the sense to do something in the second round, so I don’t think I’ll fail. Instead, I’m really going to finish the third round. Then, I’ll work moderately, rest, and play.”
-At least they don’t say they don’t work haha
-If the politicians before the meteorite disaster had worked as hard as they did, they wouldn’t have been called incompetent.
“Anyway, I’ll see you when the election is over. I’m going out to do some business, and I’ll stop by Cheonma’s parents’ house later.”
-If it’s Cheonma’s family, isn’t it Moorim?
-My family beyond the dimension haha
-Take the kids with you?
“Of course. In the first place, there’s a disciple of the Heavenly Demon who is like a brother to me, so I’m coming here to show his face. I’m going to go get some rest and come back, so don’t make a fuss about me and do well. Do you understand?”
-Yep!!! I understand, brother!!!
-Have a good trip, kids!!!!
-When you come, Merona… No, it’s Moorim, so it’s a great welcome!!!
“You think Daehwandan is some kind of kid’s snack. It’s not a trip to look for something, so don’t expect to bring anything with you this time.”
There’s nothing to bring from Cheonman’s, and even if you’re going over there because of the Great Demon King’s business, it’s difficult to bring anything. Every time I go on a dimensional trip, I pick up something helpful, so I keep looking forward to it, so it’s better to talk about it in advance.
After completing the notice and entering the election season, I prepared to move to the dimension that the phantom had told me about in order to work as the Great Demon King. As work is work, the mindset changes.
[Because there are only five people, there are many cases where just one person is called in. Do you have any plans to increase the number of Demon Lords?]
“Who are you trying to make into the Great Demon King? The conditions are more stringent than expected, it’s a difficult and dirty job, so there’s no one to do it, so the problem is.”
[Human death is truly eco-friendly!!!!]
“I told you not to say that because you’re scared, right?! And the Great Demon King doesn’t do it simply out of anger or hatred, but out of love. If you don’t have affection in the first place, why would you go around judging civilization?”
Even I love humans because I believe that although they are evil, they can become good, and even though Utopia may be twisted, I have affection for it, so I am working as the Great Demon Lord. If your main goal is to destroy civilization like a bad taste, you are not qualified to be the Great Demon King.
When you look at our rulings, we try to be as lenient as possible and only convict if there is a true no-answer. Even though they are flexible and have broad standards, if they are found guilty, don’t those bastards deserve to know?
[Hmm, then the eldest sister also likes humans, even though she says so?]
“Eldest sister? Ah… The great devil of nature?”
[Yes, my eldest sister is currently missing.]
“I don’t know where he is or what he’s doing, but if he’s still alive, I hope he comes back. If there’s one more person, I’ll have to be called out a little less.”
[In terms of time, it’s on the same level as Utopia, but isn’t it actually a good fit?]
“… Huh?”
When I think about it, the Great Demon King of Nature is the same as Utopia, who was the Great Demon King before the First Dimension War. He is even much more senior than Phantom, who is currently serving as chairman. Not a new recruit, but a sergeant major…!!!!
I think I will ask them to gather pine nuts or wild greens later!!!!!
