Chapter 2044 – [If You Hit the Demon King, the Great Demon King Will Appear]
Aside from the fact that I got hit by a phantom and fell and destroyed a mountain range in the aftermath… No, it really hurt. Considering that this was the most painful physical damage I’ve suffered since being loaded, it’s scary how seriously this guy hit me.
But even if it’s just me, I think if Eden gets married and brings her son-in-law, she’ll beat that bastard to death with all her might. Is it actually better not to move on to the next episode?
Instead, her face was quite disfigured. Not only did I have a fracture, but my face was swollen, so I felt like I needed to recuperate for a while.
“You bastard, at least stay like that while you stay here.”
“You damn bastard…”
“You’re trying to prey on someone who’s like someone else’s daughter, but where’s the end?”
“That’s up to the Absolute Fate or King Bloodier!!!!!”
“King Bloodier says that, but one side doesn’t even want to meet me!!!!!”
Oh, come to think of it, the Phantom is the absolute strongest, so the Absolute of Destiny avoids the Phantom because he doesn’t want to be beaten. That’s why the Absolute Destiny tries not to come out of its territory as much as possible.
Anyway, the job was roughly finished. Although he still looked at it crookedly, it was something that had been planned since he became my fiancé, so he accepted it without denying it.
“I’d rather raise a dragon cub, but I happened to have that cub as a friend…”
“Uh-huh, father-in-law. Let’s not say things like that.”
“Are you scratching your stomach, you bastard?! You want to search?!?!?!”
That’s so harsh. I already have a physical relationship with Lulu, but in reality, she is no different from a lover.
However, Sienne’s reaction was easier than expected. Considering that the two people usually bickered and fought fiercely, it wasn’t strange that the other person got angry like a phantom when they heard that they were getting married.
“Well, actually, the fight between me and Lulu was mainly due to Lulu’s inferiority complex. Since I am the original, from the other person’s point of view, the copy, it would only end if one of us dies. But things are different now, right? The old feelings remain. We still fight because of this, but there is no need to get angry and show emotion in a place where no one is present.”
“It seems like a long story, but what is your true intention?”
“These days, when I fight with Lulu, she gets scratched by saying I’ve never even been in a relationship before… When she gets angry about that, I feel like I’m losing.”
“Wow.”
“Oh, and later, when you spend your first night together, please tell me what you think. Our race is Bloodier, so that part is different, but since we are similar to twins, there will be a lot of things to refer to.”
“You’ll hear that from Lulu later!!!!”
“What are you doing with something like that?”
“No matter how much you feel like a co-worker, it’s a bit awkward to tell a friend’s daughter a story on the first night…”
“What are you going to do with that friend’s daughter?”
“Ah, fuck, I’m getting mad thinking about it again. Hey, come here. Let’s get a few more hits.”
“What is it that a father and daughter are craving me?!!?”
After finishing the work, we decided to entrust ourselves to the demon kingdom Demon Sphere to watch over the end of the Arkhan Kingdom. The work is over anyway. Now, it’s not the Great Demon King, but two VIPs from Dark Lord Castle and one Earthling.
“If you think that your Korea will enter a dimensional civilization later, aren’t you also a representative of a dimensional civilization?”
“Hey, I don’t know about the next election, but I think I’ll be out of office by then and enjoying the respect of a former president.”
“That’s just wishful thinking. I say this every time, but as you can see from my brother, the people know people who are good at work like ghosts.”
“There are limits to swearing!!!!!!”
Demon Spear’s representative Demon King Ashur welcomed us. Originally, I wondered if there would be anyone who didn’t at least outwardly welcome me after the judgment was over, but since I knew Phantom and Sienne, they welcomed me wholeheartedly.
However, it’s not that there is no fear inside… Well, if you can witness the Great Demon King’s judgment right in front of your eyes and still be fine, that’s actually something to praise your guts for. If you look at the way he can at least serve customers, you can see that he is capable of defeating the devil.
“Welcome, Demon Lords. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Okay, Ashur, it’s been a while. You’ll see, but I’ve roughly handled the matter over there, so let’s just leave it alone… Oh, are there going to be social or economic problems? It’s after one of the two axes of the same civilization has collapsed. I mean.”
“That’s okay. Because the Arkhan Kingdom vehemently rejected demons, there was little exchange and trade was also the same. In fact, they were self-sufficient domestically and engaged in economic activities, so the damage from that would not be a problem.”
“But the number of people immigrating will increase due to the chaos over there. There will be problems with food and such, so prepare in advance.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The number of dead people itself is probably only about 10% of the population of Arkhan Kingdom at most. However, since that 10% is no different from the leadership that gives orders, it will actually be filled with chaos.
Perhaps the situation would be similar to this one when a civil revolution broke out and the royal family and nobles were all left behind? At least if they did it, they would have some plan for the future, but since the Great Demon Lords did this themselves, all that is left is chaos!!! Destruction!!! Manga-A!!!! That’s roughly it.
It is a sight that even the Absolute of Chaos and the Dog God will be pleased to see, but it will not be without damage to the Demon Sphere. However, just as a crisis is an opportunity, if we overcome this time well, we can create a better country.
“Because the person who helped me in difficult times is remembered. Even if the rift with the demons is deep, would you care if the person who feeds you right now is a demon? It’s even more so if you are pushed back by one or two generations.”
“Yes, we should look at the long term, maybe 100 years.”
“The human lifespan is like that. Even if the current human generation is like that, we still have to look at their children and grandchildren. Still, it won’t be long before the establishment of a dimensional civilization.”
You may not know it as a human, but Ashur is also a demon. Since he is a semi-transcendent, he can rule the Demon Sphere for at least a few hundred years. If he reaches transcendence, he can rule the Demon Sphere for at least a thousand years.
If a trustworthy person rules the country for a long time, there is a high possibility that it will enter a dimensional civilization later. It’s a good thing if there are more reliable dimensional civilizations, so I don’t think Phantom cares about it for no reason.
“Let’s take care of him for a while. I want to see how things are going over there.”
“Yes, of course. Just one thing… Can I officially announce to the people that the Great Demon Lords are staying here?”
“To use it for political purposes? I’ll be indebted to you, but that’s okay. We’re making you suffer, but it should have its own merits.”
What if you think about the Demon Sphere being engulfed in various problems as the Kingdom of Arkan virtually falls? I didn’t really pay any attention to it because I thought I’d pay that much attention to it.
And after that, Ashur announced our existence. The images of me, Phantom, and Sienne were shown on the news as magic holograms, announcing that we would be staying in the Demon Sphere for a while.
-The Great Demon King, who judges civilization, did not even put our Demon Sphere on the agenda, let alone judge it!!!! We must move forward like this and step beyond the dimension!!!!!
Well, in the first place, there is nothing worth getting involved in, it is at an acceptable level, and even if there is a judgment, the Demon Sphere is unlikely to be destroyed unless there are three or more people judging it. There’s nothing special about it, but it feels like there’s nothing that bad about it either? Even being found guilty was a good thing.
So, we did not judge that side either, and Demon King Ashur also appealed and informed the people about it. Since ancient times, other people’s misfortune is my happiness, and compared to other countries that were destroyed by misfortune, the people of Demon Sphere were full of joy.
“Long live the Demon King!!! Long live the Great Demon King!!!!!”
“Now that Arkan has been destroyed, humans are now…!!!”
“Watch what you say!!! The demon sphere is trying to integrate with humans, so the demon lords didn’t touch it. If you discriminate against them, you never know what will happen later!!!!!”
“Oh… I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
Don’t cross the line that it’s okay now. In any case, we did not acquit the Demon Sphere, but did not judge it.
What this means is that since we do not judge twice, if we judge once and are acquitted, we think that it is worthy of existence, so we protect and watch over it. However, if you do not judge, if you go astray, you can summon the Great Demon King to that civilization and judge.
The difference is roughly whether we will guarantee the survival of civilization or whether we will wait and see for now. So, if we say it’s not destroyed now and do something stupid… We’ll come back later.
The hospitality we received during our stay at Demonsphere was exceptional. Not only was this civilization’s finest restaurant, but it also rented out a high-rise hotel and rented a room with the best view. Thanks to this, every morning I woke up and had breakfast while looking outside.
Of course, I didn’t forget to find out the latest news about the Arkan Kingdom.
“The social system did not become paralyzed in a short period of time. In addition to the royal family and nobles, working-level staff remained.”
“Well, I didn’t think it would collapse right away even if all the top heads flew off.”
In Korea, where I live, a meteorite disaster killed the president, most of the members of the National Assembly, and ministers, but despite this, the country did not fall into ruin. It was extremely difficult, but we were able to manage it somehow and hold a presidential election in a hurry.
Since the work done by members of the National Assembly was originally done by having their aides or vice ministers do the work on their behalf… Similarly, working-level staff will fill the empty positions of the higher-ups.
However, there is no confusion, and even if the system is maintained, it is not easy to come together due to the disorganized situation. It would have been nice to appoint a representative or leader, even temporarily, to suggest a way forward, but that was not done.
“You must be scared. All of your superiors have committed suicide. How can you claim the title of a powerful person because you are scared?”
“I’ve already judged you once, so I’m not going to judge you again.”
“They don’t know that. So, shouldn’t we create something like a parliament?”
“The transition from a monarchy to a parliamentary system in one fell swoop… I think Revoluchon Loury will like it.”
“Is he Ruliji, who was in Aiol before? I heard about it from Nuri.”
There were people who tried to maintain the framework of the nation in some way, but on the contrary, there were others who abandoned the country in chaos and turned to the demonsphere or caused chaos by causing riots.
Even if you try to move the army, the people who would give such an order are all dead… Even if the working-level staff on the ground decide to make a move, as Sienne said, they refuse because they are afraid of standing on top, or even if they gather courage, the people below say, ‘Who are you? There was a rebuttal of ‘?’ And it was impossible to respond immediately.
If a lot of time passes, it will be resolved somehow through a lot of sacrifice. If the aftereffects of judgment and the fear of it continue, we will move away from the political system in which power is concentrated in certain individuals and accept democracy in which everyone has the same authority.
It may cause blood to flow, but it can’t be helped. Democracy is originally a law that grows by feeding on blood, but after being judged by the Great Demon King, it still leaves room for the country to survive without being physically destroyed, so it belongs to the less current axis.
“Democracy grows by feeding on blood… It reminds me of the story of freedom and responsibility that Nuri talked about.”
“The meaning is the same. If you gain freedom, you must take responsibility, but if you take responsibility first, you can also gain freedom.”
Even in Korea alone, there are many people who shed their blood for democracy. It is because of them that modern Koreans can enjoy democracy.
Many people will die in the Arkhan Kingdom because what should have taken decades to achieve must be achieved in a short period of time. Still, it’s better because it’s a much better ending.
Anyway, leaving the Arkhan Kingdom aside, let’s look at Hero. I think this is more fun content.
About 10 days after the judgment, I looked into what had happened and found out that many of the warriors had died.
“There are currently 9 warriors alive.”
“Originally, there were 21 warriors, but in 10 days, we lost 12 of them? They’re magic armor, so I guess they won’t die either magically or physically, right?”
“Yes, but didn’t you tell us when you were judging? That the Arkhan Kingdom was drugging its warriors.”
“Ah.”
“It’s probably the result of the actions of those who are quick-witted. If it were a magical poison or medicine, it would be possible to control the person who administered it, but since it has a constitution that doesn’t work with magic, what it can use will be limited.”
“And looking at it, it seemed like the heroes were very resentful. It wouldn’t be strange to kill them, whether private or public, so the result would be obvious.”
The Arkan leaders who supported the warrior and manipulated the media are all dead, so they are now falling into reality. The problem is not the war, but its substance, but the warrior was already a problem in itself.
Moreover, the warriors had already incurred a lot of negative feelings from the people of the Kingdom of Arkhan. Even if you can blame the special tax on the superiors, you should have been prepared for the karma to return when you indulge in extravagance, rape and kill women.
In some ways, it can be seen that the warriors were deceived and taken advantage of through drugs, but there are too many things they have committed just because they say so.
It is obvious that in such a situation, the fact that the drug works on the warrior was made known by the judge. If drugs work, other drugs or poisons will work too. Since magic does not work, a way to kill a hero who cannot be killed by magic, and is physically difficult to kill due to the magic armor, has been created.
Want + Means = Death. It’s a simple formula. Even if you kill them, there is no need to worry about repercussions because all the people being punished are dead.
“What about the remaining warriors?”
“First of all, of the remaining nine people, three are hiding and staying alone, while the five are acting as a group and trying to survive somehow.”
“Really? Then what about the other one?”
“The remaining one… Is approaching the Demon Spear. I think we’ll probably be able to meet him near the border soon.”
“Now that the situation is like this, are you planning to kill the Demon King? No, that’s not true. I guess you have business with the Great Demon King?”
We made it known openly that Ashur was using it to boost his approval rating, so there’s no way he wouldn’t know. Whatever the purpose, it seems right to come to meet us.
I quickly expanded my senses and tried to identify the warrior near the border between Demon Sphere and Arkhan. In this world, it was easy to detect the opponent because of his distinctive features, but apart from that, the opponent himself was a familiar hero.
“Oh, that bastard.”
Kim… Taesoo? Is that right? Anyway, it looks like the hero I beat up after sneaking in to get information is coming.
I guess I need to get ready to receive guests. I think Sienne did a pretty good job of not killing the hero during the judgment.
