Chapter 2191 – [What Happens When a Constellation Is the Great Demon King]

While I was broadcasting and doing various things using the constellation’s tower system with Sienne, Phantom took care of the problem.

We created a meeting by talking to the president, prime minister, and other representatives of each country… Thanks to this, I only had to attend the UN General Assembly without having to go around meeting many people. Of course, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t work until then.

There are many people to meet during this time. Personally, I want to see Yunho again. On the contrary, when I broadcast, I announced that I had infiltrated the constellation called [Lord of Winter], So my position would have changed considerably.

I thought Private First Class Byeok was a colonel or something, but it turns out he’s actually a Posta? Ugh, the unit is going to turn over.

“First, I’ve told you everything, but I need to show my face a little. Ah, but where are you going to stay in the meantime, Horizon?”

“I’d like to, but I have a child I’m taking care of here. I think I’ll spend some time going back and forth between the Constellation Tower and Korea.”

“You said you weren’t bored while working, but did you have fun taking care of a child?”

“You did your job. Anyway, you’re a good kid. But I’m a bit sorry because all your hard work will be lost when you take over the Constellation Tower.”

“When the labyrinth trial was introduced, did you give them a little bonus?”

“Isn’t it a bit like it has become a constellation there as well?”

“We are humans. So, it is not given as a constellation, but as a personal connection. Don’t you know about blood ties, school ties, and regional ties?”

“Well… Of course.”

And I decided to go down to Starion with Sienne to meet Yunho and talk. Sienne didn’t have much work to do as she only had to manage the constellation’s tower system, so she was going to see the sights.

Starion after the broadcast was quite a mess. Thanks to the security system, even if they didn’t kill or kill each other, they were selling, buying, and fighting with each other.

“Is this okay?”

“Isn’t it okay if you don’t die? People who don’t like it will leave because they are free to do so.”

Yunho I looked around to see where he was, and unexpectedly, he was in the Tiara guild. Since I’m the only apostle in the lower knight, it’s hard to be outside in the current situation, and Starion only has to worry about climbers, and the safest place among those climbers is the Tiara guild, so it was worth it.

Since they know each other well, they calculate the profit and loss of various things and protect Yunho… They act quite quickly. So, they decided to kick out the constellations and live among themselves.

We immediately visited the Tiara guild. Although it was a sudden visit, there was no one stopping us. I wondered if Sienne had done something because she had tampered with the tower system and was informing everyone who passed by.

[The worst demon king passes by you.]

[The Great Demon King of Domination gives you a light greeting.]

Those who are not constellations and are currently managing the tower system would naturally think that the Great Demon King is the only one. Moreover, he openly says that he is the Great Demon King, so there is no way he would not know.

Just as it was fun for me to talk to Yunho, Sienne also seemed to find it fun and sent text messages everywhere. Thanks to this, the guild staff broke into a cold sweat and were unable to stop him and even gave up on guiding him.

At that point, Yunho came out as if the news had reached him. He was with the Pern guild leader, and with a complicated face, he greeted me for the first time in a while.

“… Constellation?”

“Uh, yes. It looks like people flocked to flee because of this incident?”

“No, not the Constellation Lord, but the Great Demon Lord. That’s what I mean…”

“Let’s go in and talk. It looks like there are people who want to listen.”

“Thank you. Then I will show you inside.”

The Pern guild leader bowed politely and guided us. Even the high-ranking members of the Tiara Guild look at us with eyes filled with many emotions.

However, the most common emotions are relief and gratitude. Since they are apostles who experienced the atrocities of the Constellations and learned their true nature, they welcome the current situation.

But it’s not just gratitude. Because we were the ones who suffered once, there were those who doubted and were wary of whether we, the sudden great demon kings, were no different from the constellations. Well, the reason why their gaze is meaningless is that I am the one who will only tell them about the labyrinth trial and leave, so I don’t care.

I sat down in the reception room where I was guided and was offered drinks and snacks. Ah, these snacks are delicious. Where was it made?

I grabbed a couple of them and ate them, then pushed the rest aside for Sienne to eat. And then I focus on the story.

“It looks like you have a lot of questions. Let’s have some question time. Do you have anything to ask?”

“Um… What exactly is the Great Demon King?”

“They are transcendent beings who move around, passing judgment on civilization’s guilt or innocence and deciding its continuation. They are transcendent beings who cannot be compared to the constellations.”

“Then why did you approach me from the beginning…”

“No, it was purely because I wanted to help. And it was really a coincidence that we met.”

While I was creating climbers, I also tried to find out about the situation of the climbers through Yunho, but even if that wasn’t the way to go in the first place, there was an option.

In the first place, you could have turned someone else into a climber and sent them there as bait. However, Yunho’s situation was unfortunate, and by making him a climber, he could infiltrate the constellation, so he chose that method.

“If I didn’t have any feelings for you, I don’t think I would have made you an apostle. Among the climbers, there are probably a lot of people who want to become an apostle, even if it’s a constellation of Hakko whose name you’ve never heard of.”

“… Ah.”

“The reason I disguised myself as a constellation was to find out what the constellations were like and to understand the situation of the climbers. So honestly, wouldn’t it have been better to have a climber who had been climbing for some time as an apostle rather than a newbie who had just started climbing?”

Since they would have looked around and discarded the Constellation Tower anyway, they could have made anyone other than Yunho an apostle. Nevertheless, making him an apostle was purely out of good will.

“Thank you.”

“Well, I’m sorry that I feel like all the hard work I’ve done so far has been in vain. But don’t worry, the experience here will be helpful in the labyrinth trials that will be introduced later.”

“Oh, I guess the name of the facility that replaces the Constellation Tower is Labyrinth Trial?”

“Yes, it is a facility that we are using well. It is a facility that clears various missions like the Constellation Tower, but the main point is not for the Constellations to watch you suffer, but to help individuals hone their abilities and grow. Ultimately, like me, It’s a training facility that creates transcendent people.”

“Yes?”

“What, do you think you were born from an egg like some kind of Park Hyeokgeose? There are some peculiar aspects, but I was also born in a normal mother’s womb in another dimension, Earth. Oh, Sienne is not human either, but she gained her powers on her own.”〈 Br〉

“Yes??”

The biggest difference between the Constellation Tower and the Labyrinth Trial. In the end, the power you have built up will remain with you.

Of course, it is extremely difficult and unlikely to reach a road level like me. However, it is quite possible to become something less than that, and it will become something that no one can take away from you.

“The power you gain by climbing the constellation tower can be collected by the constellation or tower system if you wish. Just now, we said you would collect it when the tower service ends. However, it is your power to accumulate it through the labyrinth trial. Don’t be swayed by others. I don’t.”

“Wow…”

“And in the Labyrinth Trial, anyone who wants to can become a climber. We call them Challengers… Hmm, maybe we should change the name.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to change it? Because I can’t ignore the stereotypes that come from that.”

“Ah, then I’ll just have to do the same thing as Challenger.”

A place where anyone can become a climber, or rather a challenger, where they are not swayed by the constellations and where the power they gain is entirely theirs.

People from the Tiara guild also showed great interest. Compared to living a life of bowing down to the constellations and pleasing them, it was like heaven.

“Is that true? Then the Labyrinth Trial…”

“But isn’t it possible for the Great Demon King to interfere externally there as well? What about that?”

I was dumbfounded and answered the urgent question of one of the Tiara guild members. No, it’s not like the Great Demon King is free, and he’s taking care of this place? Is it difficult to manage our labyrinth trial?

“Why us?”

“Yes?”

“Hey, there are five of us, and there are a lot of places we need to see other than here on Earth. Individuals have things to do on their own, and we’re not entrusting some of the management authority to you for no reason. Don’t worry, we don’t plan on interfering even if it’s because of our work.”

“When I go back, I also have to do some work as a demon king because of the dimension general meeting being held this time. Oh, by the way, are you going to attend this meeting?”

“Dimension General Assembly? Why did you tell me that..? Ah, now you are the representative of dimensional civilization.”

Well, I said it was a lot of work, but it really was a lot of work. It’s strange that the dimensional civilization doesn’t have a general assembly like the United Nations on Earth, so it’s natural, but the problem is that we normally didn’t pay attention to it, but now we have to pay attention because it’s a dimensional civilization on Earth.

When I return, I will have to prepare to attend the general meeting in addition to the backlog of work. What will happen if I go…

.

“I will share the meeting agenda separately later. Please support our side instead.”

“I looked at the agenda. To be honest, I don’t know, but I can’t confirm that.”

“If there is a difference of opinion between you and your dad, are you going to fight?”

“I’m sure there will be an argument. I don’t think they will tell me to stop them.”

“It seems like you don’t know because it’s something we sometimes do, but it’s not like there are fights between transcendents at dimensional general meetings due to differences of opinion. Sometimes, dad and eldest dad fight without other people knowing.”

“No, Gray and Phantom?!?!?!”

“Of course, we fight with some degree of force control.”

Not only among brothers, but also among brothers who do business together, there are bound to be fights between brothers, but when the fight becomes a fight between the absolute masters Phantom and Gray, it is not a whale fight, but a cosmic horror of any kind.

Yunho and the people in the Tiara guild who didn’t know what was happening didn’t show much of a reaction to my shocked reaction. Actually, that’s better, in the cosmic horror genre where things like Cthulhu appear, not knowing is the easiest thing to do. Needless to say, check the SAN level.

“Anyway, if the story is roughly over, now that they have taken over the Constellation’s tower system, someone should take a look at the ugly faces of the Constellations!!!!”

“Huh?”

Sienne comes out of nowhere and sets off a bomb saying she will change the mood. However, the power of the bomb exploded was so great that it succeeded in immediately turning the topic around.

The constellations that suffered so much. And you can find out their past? I can’t stand this.

“First, everything the Constellations have done is recorded. Oh, they also have a history.”

“I’m a bit curious about that. Explain the story.”

Where did these constellation babies come from, and how did they get here? Since a being called a god has its own birth process, even if it were a natural god similar to a spirit that was born naturally, it would not be born so distorted from the beginning.

I was curious about their past. I was able to recognize it when using the tower system as a constellation, but I didn’t intentionally look at it because it seemed like a spoiler, so I don’t know.

“Let’s see… Ah, the Constellation Tower was not a tower in the first place, but an ark.”

“Ark?”

“They were born on a polytheistic planet and were bickering, but I guess it wasn’t like this originally. However, because it seemed like they were going to be ruined by the abnormal activity of the sun, they built a constellation tower and used it as an ark to take various gods and believers with them and leave the planet.”

“Hmm…”

The article below explains how the constellations can cover a giant meteorite, but if it is caused by a problem with the sun, it is difficult to deal with it. The power is great, but the scope will also be the entire planet. Even if the solar wind blows just wrongly, it is easy for humanity to be destroyed.

However, apart from technological prowess, it is possible to escape the planet by combining the powers of the constellations… We created self-sufficient facilities inside and made long-term navigation possible. Because they were sensitive to intelligent beings that could be worshiped as gods, they set out on a space voyage using such weak signals as a compass.

It was good at first. First, the atmosphere was good and there were no fights at the beginning of the voyage, perhaps because of the relief of being alive. However, as the voyage period became longer, disputes gradually arose.

“Is it really possible for there to be no conflict when there are thousands of different deities? It was mild at first, but as pride continued to be hurt, it eventually broke out.”

The emotions that built up exploded, and a war broke out. In addition, a battle for believers also takes place.

To God, faith is important. Naturally, the greater the number of believers who would dedicate their faith, the better, so a fight broke out to take and steal from each other. At the same time, the number of believers dying increases… Reaching the critical point.

By the time I came to my senses, there were only one-tenth of the believers left compared to when I started. It wasn’t extinction, but it would take a long time for the population to recover.

Normally, this would have been done by waiting, but the constellations did not do that. Was he impatient because of the war? In order to gain faith from the remaining believers, he gave them strength by giving them various benefits.

“Ah, that’s the early apostle.”

“But since the conflict itself did not go away… We started again to steal the gods, but this time we decided to do it as a proxy war. Let the apostles fight among themselves and follow the winning side. However, at the same time, we saw humans going through hardships and trials. I felt joy.”

“Write…”

“On the other hand, the faith that a desperate person sends to God is more stimulating than ordinary faith, so it must have acted like dopamine. In a limited space and place during space navigation, if you are addicted to dopamine in that way, do you not feel strange and hate it?”

But space is not an easy place. There is no way I can easily travel a long distance even at the speed of light without being able to figure out the right direction.

Eventually, resources within the Constellation Tower were depleted, and resources became so scarce that even human believers had to be replaced. So, a true god who cared about his followers sacrificed himself and became a resource for operating the Constellation Tower.

… I don’t know whether to say it’s fortunate that the remaining constellations are ignoring their promises and not knowing that the believers of the god who sacrificed themselves have been converted into resources.

By the time they were barely able to hold out and run out of breath, the constellations had finally arrived at a planet with an intelligent body.

As if he had become a monster-like evil spirit.

“I’ve often seen the cliché of a survivor in a limited space becoming a monster, whether physical or mental, but since that becomes a god, it’s no joke.”

After that, you don’t have to say anything. They committed atrocities across several planets and civilizations and were judged by us.

… By now, the Bloodiers are probably in the middle of a dinner party, so I should try to contact them.
