Chapter 266 – [Descent of the Great Demon King]
Agent Jason looked down at the great golden castle as he straightened his trembling fingertips.
The golden brilliance that can make even the bright sunlight dim for a moment seems to be worthwhile even without any decorations. As is natural in the first place, it was because it was 100% pure gold that exceeded the limits of the laws of physics.
The purity of a pure substance that is normally available to humans is 99%. There, you can increase the purity to a few decimal places, but you can never reach 100 percent.
The reason for this is that, regardless of whether or not there is a foreign substance, an oxidation reaction occurs from the moment it touches the air, and there are also substances that change over time.
Gold is said to be a stable metal, but it is not completely unchanging. Considering its strength as a metal, it is soft enough to be handled by human power. Maintaining 100% purity despite being such a metal means going through the laws of physics head-on.
Doo doo doo!!!
The helicopter landed on an empty lot in front of the castle. Even though it was an empty lot, it was wider than Central Park Square, but the land was made of gold that stimulated human desire.
“Is this really the land of the gods?”
“There is a saying that gold is the metal of the gods, so if you think about it, that might be the case.”
It is different, however, that the person who lives is not a god, but a great demon king.
Agent Jason also saw the Phantom’s true self. Just looking at the giant of the abyss, bigger than the Earth, was enough to confuse his mind working for the intelligence department. Although he recovered his sanity faster than the average person, it took several hours nonetheless.
Physically, there were no aftereffects, but psychologically, a considerable shock remained. The proof was that his hands were shaking as if he had tremor.
“Welcome”
Keying!!
Zion flew towards them with a light tinnitus.
The appearance of flying freely without anything is an expression of Shido’s will to act as Hanon, not as a human. Worse also spoke about her race at the hearing, so there’s no point in hiding it.
“…….It’s been a while, Mr. Shion. How have you been?”
“It’s nothing special to me. Conversely, I’d like to ask about your regards as well… But I can guess how you feel, so I’ll move on.”
“Thank you. Honestly, it’s…”
“Yes, I know that. So I didn’t come out to meet someone else on purpose, did I?”
If one of the Great Demon Kings had personally come to meet them from the beginning, they would have fallen into a state of confusion. But compared to them, Shion was less afraid of her.
Of course, even if Shion could destroy the earth, it was a fact that they were also reasonably reassured that they were rational and were able to talk.
But the Great Demon King is not at all. After the verdict, there is no room for negotiation or trade, only destruction.
“Would you like to meet after a little rest or do you want to meet right away?”
“Wouldn’t meeting them after a break make them wait?”
“These are people who don’t care about that anyway. They didn’t have a specific appointment in the first place and they didn’t have much to do.”
“……Do you know them well?”
“Isn’t it obvious that you know? One is my husband and one is my cousin.”
“Five……..”
It was not an exclamation of admiration, but an expression of emotion from the fear of seeing something huge.
As far as he knows, he doesn’t know exactly how many great demon kings there are, but he knows that there weren’t that many. If two of them are connected…
“Don’t think about what to say to me. Even if it’s a belly-haired lawsuit, you can’t change the result in front of what he does.”
“Isn’t he a pathetic wife? Will he not have any room?”
“Do you think you can prevent a matter of the level of a company’s life and death with your wife’s persuasion?”
“……I’m sorry. I made a mistake.”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it”
Shion was at least someone who knew how to be considerate of others. I decided not to listen to embarrassing questions in the first place.
They entered her, guided by her. Safety is meaningless anyway, so it was easy to move because only a few people came after receiving applicants.
Regarding the issue, it would not be strange if US President Drape came directly, but the US is also in a state of confusion. If he said he would go directly to the castle of the Great Demon King, it is certain that even greater confusion would spread.
The current Earth has encountered transcendental beings, especially those who directly intervene in civilization called the Great Demon King. This is not as peaceful as an encounter with the unknown.
Heads of state are busy dealing with chaotic situations. Even in Japan, which is on the brink of collapse, most of the politicians returned to their home countries from abroad despite the fear of radiation.
“Can I ask you a few things?”
“If it’s anything, I’ll answer it.”
“They……So, how many great demon kings do you have?”
“There are five of us in total.”
“Hmm…”
They estimated at least four to five people. Up to four people who showed up at the time of the first judgment and another person who stopped the conflict in Africa by force. That’s why it wasn’t a big surprise, but the emphasis was on adding confidence.
“Is there anything else I should be careful about?”
“If you look at it objectively, most of the great demon kings have a good personality. It’s normal to treat them informally if it’s not a public setting, but a private one.”
“The referee…Is the referee’s appearance at that time a public one?”
“Yes, among the Great Demon Kings, there are people who actually sit in the position of the king of a civilization rather than a title, but as long as you follow the minimum etiquette, they won’t say anything. Will be”
“That’s good.”
“There is only one person among them. There is a person called Utopia. He is my cousin, as I mentioned earlier, but he has a dirty personality, so be careful. He has a personality that you would not want to see unless you are a relative, so if you are going to do something, it would be better to leave him out.”
“………”
It was a harsh evaluation even though he was his own cousin. If they are related by blood, there will be minimal hurdles, but it is proof that their personality is that bad.
In the first place, Zion and Utopia were wrong from the first meeting. No matter how wrong the road was, Zion destroyed the civilization that had been seen for hundreds of years at once.
“Oh! This is…”
As they enter the castle in earnest, a huge hall greets them. A giant chandelier decorated with crystals and diamonds, the pinnacle of brilliance and splendor, welcomes them.
The light that did not give in to the golden brilliance was something that anyone with an artistic sensibility could see in awe.
None of the decorations inside the castle simply existed. At least, even a small decoration on the railing has a piece like a flower decoration engraved on it.
All of those things came together to become a work of art. It was such a transcendental work that human power could never create, and would never be able to create in the future.
“There are not as many rooms as expected, but I think we can provide a private room.”
“Thank you…….”
“Hello hello! Welcome guests! I have nothing to treat!!!!”
Nuri appeared out of nowhere in front of them, who seemed about to faint at any moment.
Her appearance was based on Ruri, but she looked a little younger, and on her back, four in a pair, eight in a pair, floated behind her like her wings.
Flying at will, defying her gravity like Shion, she landed in front of them.
Representatives from the United States did not know how to react to her appearance. It wasn’t that there weren’t any force users among them, but Nuri’s black crystal was not ordinary even to the average person.
“……Why did you come? I can guide the guests.”
“But these guys came to meet us anyway, right? Then I’ll have to hold the gun. Rather than meeting five people at once, wouldn’t it be better to just meet one person first and get used to it?
“If you think about it, there is no difference between four and five people.”
“Still, it’s better to think that there’s at least one person on your side, right?”
Because they might die, they were quick to notice because she selected the elite from among the volunteers she received. From that conversation, they realized that Nuri was one of the five Great Demon Kings.
Calming his trembling hands again, Agent Jason stanceed him and greeted him politely.
“My name is Jason Bright, who has come as an American ambassador. I am the representative of this party.”
“I’m Noori! I’m the youngest among the five Great Demon Kings! Please take good care of me!!!!”
It’s a light look, but it’s not hard to know that at least they remembered that he was the one who broke in and saved Baekri at the time of the judgment.
It’s because it’s such a unique personality, so it’s because it’s a feature that can’t get out of the way. It’s fair, but that’s why it was good as a target for information.
“Can I serve the guests? Oh, do you have coffee or something?”
“I will airlift separately from Horizon”
“Ah, a cup please! To be honest, I drink coffee, but a golden coffee cup is a little”
“I have a lot of demands”
“Ah, honestly, this isn’t a big deal, right? And they said they’d treat guests, but what?”
Shion let out a sigh and left the seat. As much as they don’t know about Nuri, the only thing they ask for from the US ambassador is sympathy and compassion.
“Come this way! We have time until we meet the older brothers anyway, so let’s take a break and have coffee.”
“It won’t be a nuisance…”
“Isn’t it better to have a little bit of information than to meet completely unaware? If I match the rhythm, my mouth will become a chatterbox and I’ll brag about it well?”
“……..”
She said that she was the youngest, but her opponent was on the same level as the person who tried to erase the country with one finger. At worst, he destroyed China by himself, but I think his opponent will have the same power even if he can’t.
An existence that cannot be dealt with by human power. Moreover, as an individual body. That reality was enough to bring out the fear.
“Ah, but would you like to eat? The men just finished eating.”
“…….No, I’m sorry I already ate, but I’ll have to refuse.”
“Really? It’s a pity. One referee increased, so I thought it was a win or a loss.”
It’s a place where you might die. So, they had already finished their last supper meal, so they were already full.
Following Nuri’s guidance, they were invited to a parlor in the castle. All the furniture, from the huge table and chairs in the drawing room, was made of pure gold, so it seemed uncomfortable, but there was a slight warmth from the furniture, so it wasn’t that uncomfortable.
“Coffee, coffee, coffee, I can drink about nine of them, right? Add sugar as you like.”
Xion uses a coffee cup and coffee airlifted from Horizon to boil water and drink coffee with telekinetic power in the air. Of course, Force users were not so unusual as there were telekinetic force users, but it was noticeable that the process was performed simultaneously without difficulty.
Nine coffee cups are moved individually, and water drawn from somewhere is heated in the air to make hot water without a kettle or fire. In the process, they didn’t even feel the slightest heat, but the water that naturally flowed into the cup melted with the coffee and mixed by itself.
Familiar Force users are capable enough, but Nuri was seemingly a middle school student. That makes the feeling of discomfort worse.
“Can we start talking soon?”
“Ah, yes”
“I will introduce myself again, but my name is Nuri. I am in charge of the Great Demon King of Freedom among the Great Demon Kings.”
“Freedom… Is it?”
“Yes, the Great Demon King has different values and fields that he sees. So, what I see is freedom. And where are the uncles’ countries?”
America, and some call America the land of freedom.
Of course not completely. Even Agent Jason, who was originally from the Ministry of Information and Communication, has never suppressed the freedom of others in the name of the Patriot Act.
But, at least on the surface, it is a country that guarantees considerable freedom. Just looking at China (the past) and Russia, which are similar in land size, it seems like that. In the case of leader, the caste system is completely eliminated, see you next time.
“Therefore, there is no reason to dislike the old men. What I see is whether or not individual rights and freedoms are properly guaranteed, so even by my standards, I pass.”
“Then our America is…”
“But people other than me don’t know. All I do is one vote. As I’ve seen before, the Great Demon King’s judgment is a majority vote? Besides, there are no abstentions or invalid votes, and the judgment is always divided only on the presence or absence of guilt.”
The referee will inevitably lean one way or the other unless there is an abstention or annulment in an odd number.
Barely innocent, barely guilty, there is no case where the result does not come out even if there is such a thing. As it is an organization that goes back to a small elite, it is strict in that respect.
“That judgment…”
“Is there any way to prevent or stop it? Well, I decided to come here once, but I have to pull it out at least. Do you know what we do because we love this job? The only bad guy in Jinseong is Utopia oppa, and the rest are all bad guy cosplayers?”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s impossible for people like us to care about human civilization without affection. You don’t care about ants passing by, do you?”
“Hmm……”
Certainly, in front of the giant of the abyss, humans were mere ants. No, even compared to Earth, they are at the level of an ant, much less in front of a bigger phantom…
Transcendental beings like them usually have no interest in human affairs. Rather than living in a society full of human desires and passions, they make choices such as creating a society that suits their tastes or living separately.
There are not many organizations of transcendentalists who directly step forward and intervene even if you search all dimensions.
“Our role is to lift the rod of love. If we stray any further, nothing but ruin remains, so we make it stop much earlier. You might think that’s a bit excessive, but if you don’t do this in the first place, you won’t hear it. It’s obvious that you’re human, right?”
“………..”
To put it finely, if the listeners were humans, there wouldn’t have been any conflict in the world in the first place.
Would the world have been afraid of them as they are now if they hadn’t caused a huge event like judgment? Not at all, someone would have said it was a fabrication and someone would have denied it.
The same is true of Japan today. Even if they spoke mildly, the people would not have risen up like now.
Of course, in Japan, it’s just a symptom of a fever to get rid of viruses in the body.
“Whether you’re lagging behind because of that heat or not, it’s only if you take good care of yourself after all.”
One way or another, Japan was left with no choice but to fall.
Nuri giggled as if she was having fun.
Upon seeing this, Agent Jason realized that she was of the same family as them, and calmed her spontaneous goosebumps.
