Chapter 279 – [Descent of the Great Demon King]
Rice is meant to be eaten after all. I was afraid of what would come later, so I didn’t want to eat it, so I had no choice but to eat it in the end, and the person who made Baekri was a human, so I had no choice but to eat it all.
The taste was there, of course. I never get tired of eating two dishes alternately. With a little exaggeration, it seemed like it could be eaten forever.
But the end always comes. Nothing is permanent in this world. Even if it is the absolute one who created the present world.
“So what are you here for?”
Phantom, who was drinking coffee, asked Baekri.
The relationship between the two couldn’t help but be awkward. It would have been better if they were simply acquainted with each other, but at the time of the referee, a line was drawn between Baek-ri, who attacked and interfered, and the phantom, who tried to kill him.
That’s why it’s inevitably awkward, and Baek-ri, who is in a bad position, has no choice but to shrink.
“I have come to ask you a little about what you are doing as the Great Demon King.”
“……..”
The Phantom’s eyebrows twitched in response.
In terms of her appearance, she is a pretty woman with a feminine appearance, but her expression was cold. For an instant, even Baekri seemed to shrink, so his hand holding the coffee cup trembled.
However, Baekli made up his mind again and continued.
“It’s not about the referee, it’s what comes after that.”
“……Keep talking”
For Baek-ri, who spoke from the point of view of the sickness or the state, not from the position of Eul, who had Gap ahead of him, it was death.
But at least he wanted to do what he could. If it’s something that can save at least a little bit even if you can’t go against the Great Demon King head-on…
“I saw a broadcast by Utopia, one of the Great Demon Kings. And I heard that the Japanese who had already been judged on that broadcast were trying to kill those who were trying to defect abroad.”
“Oh, I saw that”
“Anyway, it’s a personal matter, so I didn’t intend to interfere. Is that why you came?”
“Yes”
The personal problem, that word was deeply and clearly etched in Baekri’s head.
It was not a matter of judgment, but a matter of personal taste of the Great Demon King. Therefore, the scope of Baekri’s request was clear.
“Did you simply come from the perspective of a mediocre human with a little bit of a relationship?”
“No, I’m here as the manager’s representative”
“Hmm”
It is possible for any one of the Great Demon Kings to defeat Administrator Ellie. Even if she is the weakest Nuri, her ability is ‘freedom’, even if it is the interference of Goraja who can use the omnipotent authority in this universe, she can never be touched unless she is a being who has awakened the same ability.
No, rather, a mortal who has just awakened has a better chance than an omnipotent manager with no ability. If he didn’t have that much power, Nuri would never have been chosen as the Great Demon King in the first place.
However, just because you have the power to beat the manager doesn’t mean you don’t respect the manager. Because they came to judge civilization, not to destroy it randomly.
“If you came as an agent, we have to show our own respect. Seeing that your head is rolling enough to use your position, you must have heard the shock therapy well.”
“……There are a lot of things Ruri gave me.”
“Missing coffee”
“Ah, that’s a brand I created by blending separately. It’s made by selecting each bean, so the subtle taste is just right.”
If Baek-li had come simply as someone with a connection to them, she would have kicked them out.
The position of Great Demon King is a law that should not act as a personal supervisor. Even in utopia, there is a way to find fault with something, but if there is nothing to fault, no matter how bad the mood is, it goes over.
The fact that the worst summoned the Great Demon Kings is obviously a matter of personal feelings, but on the other hand, there was also a side that reported that Japan’s behavior at the time was something that should not be done nationally.
This is not the Middle Ages, and the fact that the state is trying to threaten kidnapping is a matter of international credibility beyond national disgrace. Moreover, at that time, Japanese politicians kept it secret from the people and only the people fled abroad.
“I’m making a formal request as the administrator’s representative. You all have full power over the referee, but I hope you don’t touch the post-judgment. At least for the Japanese who are exiled overseas.”
“There are a lot of problems there. Don’t you think we wipe out everything when we destroy a civilization?
“Is it really true of those who have lost their country and been denied?”
“That’s right. Among the civilizations we destroyed, there were people like that a couple of times.”
“Ah, yes. In a civilization where ethics were also destroyed by materialism, those guys reproduced again like cockroaches.”
“……..”
Baek-ri was at a loss for words when he said no.
They saw several civilizations while working as the Great Demon King for thousands of years. Among them, there was a time when the civilization of the same planet was judged twice.
“They were a civilization with technological prowess that developed a star system and thought of space travel as an overseas trip. However, even though they produced things like human clones, they didn’t see them as life, and for money, they could kill people even if they were not. Because it is such a civilization, we unanimously decided to destroy it.”
“At that time, I thought that it was not a big deal to completely destroy the human race, so I asked to leave only children?”
“In case I didn’t know, I went there after a while, and this time, although there were some occult elements mixed in, it became a civilization that was not much different from before. Went out”
“…How did you do it?”
“I crushed the entire planet. One punch.”
“It’s always a wonderful sight to see the stars shattered.”
“When I was a newbie, I used to hold a planet’s inner core and jump first, but these days it’s convenient because I can smash a star with one punch.”
“……..”
If a normal person said that he crushed a planet with one punch, he would have thought he was crazy, but the person he was talking to was a phantom.
Considering the image of him erasing Japan’s Mount Fuji without a trace by stamping his finger on a gigantic giant in the abyss, it was not an exaggeration to say that he would crush the planet with one punch, but it was rather a story that might not be enough.
When I think of the earth-like star bursting like a water balloon, strangely goosebumps run up my back.
Of course, the earth wouldn’t be like that in the current situation, but just the fact that there was a possibility made me feel like I had seen something indescribable.
“Anyway, if a person remains, that knowledge and ideology will inevitably be passed on. The Utopia act of killing all the Japanese who fled abroad may have personal taste issues, but that’s why we don’t touch it.”
“If it was really unfair, we would have tackled it too. Baekri, you don’t even know my personality.”
“Yes……”
It’s been almost a year, but Baekri and Choi knew each other well. I don’t think it’s really a bad thing because no matter how bad a person is, even if he’s a murderer with a broken personality, he still has his own goodness and conscience.
And among the Great Demon Kings, not being disappointed in humans until the very end was the worst.
“Still, please feel sorry for their lives. There’s nothing wrong with people struggling to live.”
“It’s the fault of those living in the present that made today’s Japan that way. They didn’t fix it and didn’t try to fix it. Is there any reason we should look after those who run away to live now?”
“Wasn’t the Great Demon King judging wrong civilizations for the better development of mankind? Then, can’t we give him the last mercy?”
“Mercy comes from the heart, it is not given because someone is asking for mercy.”
“People’s lives are at stake. Please think a little carefully. Please.”
“Anyway, human life is just repeating reincarnation and reincarnation, so do you, who have risen to the transcendental level, value it so much?”
“At least I think it’s important to me now. It’s natural to want to save a person dying in front of my eyes.”
“It’s human”
“Because I’m human”
Hearing the argument between Phantom and Baekli, the worst shrugged his shoulders.
It’s not without emotion, but it was rather good in the current situation. If this is a meeting between representatives of countries, acting emotionally is no different from poison, but the other party is not a state ambassador, but a great devil.
Strictly speaking, what the Great Demon King sees is not the nation, but the contents within the framework, that is, humans.
Even if you are a young transcendentalist like Baekri, approaching and persuading him while looking at it from a human perspective will be more effective for them.
“I can’t finish it all day”
“Isn’t that what you get beaten for?”
Ruri looked at Baekri with worried eyes.
It’s good to concentrate and work hard to convince the phantom. However, there were numerous fundamental differences in power. Even if Baekri is equal to the current population of Earth, he cannot win against even the worst, let alone the current Phantom.
Dialogue and negotiation are only possible when they are on an equal level that each other acknowledges. Otherwise, it will be nothing more than a one-sided demand from one side.
“It’s okay, Phantom knows that no matter how reckless a bastard is, if he puts his strength into the current situation, only he will become a vendetta.”
However, conversely, having that gap also means that if Phantom gets his hands on it first, his position will deteriorate.
Few things are as disrespectful as an adult punching a child because he can’t convince him. Moreover, it is all the more so when the child side is saying something that makes sense.
The worst was looking at Baekri with admiration. He is doing his best to do the realistic things he can do, not the reckless and unlikely things.
“Let’s say I’m going to spare the Japanese in exile. Then, what about the judgment? Everyone escapes and runs away from their own country, and if they smuggled into a country where the judgment has already been completed, what will happen to those who survive?”
“That……..”
Baekri’s request was not only short-term. Since we cannot save only Japanese refugees, future referees should do the same. Just as people are now flocking to Korea and the United States, where judgment has already been completed, if people flee overseas, the number of those who will eventually be judged will decrease.
If so, there is no reason to judge. I can’t just leave it alone.
“……What if they say they’ll let go of the past?”
“Whoa, what do you mean? Tell me more.”
Phantom showed curiosity. In response to the positive response, Baekri also started talking little by little.
“It’s about making standards. People who go into exile abroad can live by abandoning everything from their original country, including language, ideology, religion, beliefs, etc. Moreover, the judged nation perished.”
“What if it continues?”
“That should be banned by law.”
“Do you think Nuri will look favorably on the act of restricting the freedom of others?”
“It’s not that, it gives you the freedom to choose your life and death. If your culture, ideology, and religion are important, you can die with the judgment. If your life is more important, you will be given asylum abroad, but all the people in the country that are subject to judgment will be accepted.” By giving up.”
“Hmm…….”
If you put the value of your life on something that has no such value and die together, it could be called honor or pride.
And if you’re going to throw it away and save your life, it’s not worth it to them.
“But even if it is decided by law, there is no way humans will keep it.”
“………”
If you don’t do it, it’s human beings who do more. But even more so, when they were told to deny and throw away all of their past, there are people who will listen to what they say, but there are definitely people who do not.
“What you say is only words in the end. I don’t know if you’re a transcendental person, but you don’t know where you are socially. Do you think you can fix the related legislation first?”
“…I probably won’t be able to do it now, but”
“But and only me, and if you can’t do it now, shut up”
Baekri does not have a socially acceptable position on the current Earth. Although he is a grand master, he was pushed back by the advent of the Great Demon King due to the ongoing UN affiliation issue, and in Korea, he is at best an ordinary citizen.
Even though he is not a politician, Baekli could not pass a related bill and solve the necessary funds due to refugees and refugees.
“I was in a hurry. Before coming here, it would have been better to negotiate with the Korean government and get my own authority.”
“Kuh……!”
“And being stabbed by conscience and not being able to answer boldly that you can do it, too. It’s a bit like a 60-year-old old man looking at fresh youth.”
“What are you talking about like an old man just because you’re old?”
“It’s not an old young man, it’s an old man.”
“If you do it by human standards, that is.”
When negotiating, there was a need to be shameless. But Baekli couldn’t do that. It’s because he’s good-natured, so he’s not good at lying or anything like that.
He was well-intentioned and well-positioned, but he acted too hastily, considering the lack of time.
The situation seemed to end like that, but the intervening voice led the situation into a new phase.
“By the way. If this is the case, you should tell the person directly. Why don’t you call me?”
When I turned my head, there was a Utopia that I didn’t know when it came, smiling.
Like a monster imitating a human and forcing himself to laugh, such an alien smile.
“Besides, I also had personal business.”
Baek-ri held his trembling hand and calmed his fluctuating emotions.
