Chapter 285 – [Descent of the Great Demon King]

When Baek-ri learned that she was Shion’s mother, she saw a resemblance that hadn’t been noticed before.

It’s like she has an expressionless face, and yet her emotional expression is rich. It may be Hanon’s characteristic, but since there are only three control groups, it’s not something that can be judged hastily.

“Have you been to Mexico?”

“Did you see that as a foresight attribute?”

“No, I guessed it from Baekri-san’s face… It looks like she was shocked.”

The sight of a country dying in one breath is a horrifying sight that can make one’s spirits shatter.

Baek-ri, who witnessed it himself, thought that this was not the case. They say they need a Great Demon King, but what she saw firsthand was a cruel reality.

“…I understand that the standards of the Great Demon King are low. I also know that what they do is not completely wrong. But at least I don’t think it goes against human morality.”

“Is that so”

Alyssa quietly nodded her head.

There is truth in Baekri’s words. The Great Demon King himself knows that he is bad. No matter what you do, murder is an unacceptable sin. As much as they have affection for humans, there are people who are just as reluctant as the worst.

“Then have you ever thought about the minds of those who do it?”

“Uh…….?”

“Even great demon kings have feelings. The strongest and worst demon kings are transcendental beings who grew up in Korea, where Mr. Baek-ri grew up.

“I’ve never thought of it that way…”

“It’s a different feeling when you know you’re doing something wrong. You feel guilty.”

Worst of all, there were times like that in the past.

Although he is not guilty of the murder itself because he was born with the heavenly nature, he has a sense and disgust that he has done something wrong. The reality that he thought would end with his death came through reincarnation, and the result was self-harm due to self-loathing.

Compared to those days when I was in the prime of being human, my thoughts are not different even if I’m a little farther away. It’s just a difference in how you take it.

“This is your final turning point. If you go any further, there is no turning back.”

“Is that one of the two endings we talked about before?”

“Yes, did you remember?”

“Hyung also said that my choice is important… I was thinking about which option to choose.”

God-Ruri-Ruri, the highest-level deity. It is a fact that even the absolute ruler of fate warned. Furthermore, she was told that the last time she talked to her as her manager, she had two options outright.

Baekri also instinctively sensed that the choice was near. And he thought there would be many lives at stake.

“One thing before I say anything. Can I tell you about Dr. Allion?”

“Dr. Allion?”

Baekri knows that Dr. Alien is Prometheus, the boss of Atlas, becauseheheard the worst.

It is quite shocking that Dr. Allian, who has been working as a treasure of the United States for over ten years and has often appeared on TV, was such a person with such a face, but I thought it was because he died.

But what does his story have to do with it?

“Dr. Allion conducted human experiments with humans. All sorts of illegal things happened there.”

“……Yes, I know that.”

The first person that comes to mind is Yejin. She was brought in from the Atlas branch in Korea by Worst.

There, she is being used as a test subject, so I can’t imagine what she would have become if only a month or two had passed.
And the next thing that comes to mind is the arsonist at the time of the Yeongdeungpo fire incident, when Baek-ri awakened as a force user. He almost lost his intellect, but he remained attached to his family and eventually became a monster.

“Dr. Alien is not a person from this earth or this dimension. He is a person from another dimension where the enemy species come.”

“Yeah, I heard that too.”

“Then, do you know why he, who came from the same dimension, did such an experiment in this dimension? If he is from the same dimension and from the same civilization, it would be normal to cause terrorism in the dark and destabilize society rather than help the earth, right?”

“That…….”

I haven’t heard that far from the worst. Because I just wanted to have a little inside story.

But it’s only natural that I’d be curious to know if I was digging into this detail.

“Dr. Alien is from that dimension, but he fears and loathes that civilization. So he decides to betray them and help this civilization.”

“But if that’s the case, did we need to do human experiments or something?”

“Not only does the accuracy and speed of the experiment change… He had no choice but to do that in the first place.”

A person who has been taught that way since birth cannot help but do that.

The environment creates the people and the people create the environment. Once such a vicious cycle continues, it is difficult to break it.

If a child who has suffered from domestic violence grows up and creates a family of his own, will that child also wield domestic violence? Of course, there is a possibility that this will not happen, but it is highly likely that it is a vicious cycle created by the environment.

“Raff energy is a power based on the concept of ‘denial’. And a person who grew up experiencing it up close would not have a normal personality. Above all, it is a civilization that invades another dimension with hostile species, but is it true that they have half the ethics of yours? Are you conscious?”

“No… I guess”

“He chose to survive first so that this planet would not suffer the same fate as he did. The damage that occurred there was a human experiment.”

“………”

The number of people Dr. Alion has killed through human experimentation for 20 years may be a very small number compared to the human population on Earth.

The worst would be far fewer than the tens of millions of Chinese killed in China in the first place.

If it was a sacrifice to save humanity, can it be seen as a sacrifice of a minority? And is the sacrifice acceptable?

“And the opinion of Mr. Choi who fought with Dr. Allian was the exact opposite of that. Even if you survive poorly, if you don’t look like a human, that’s as bad as dying. What’s the point of surviving by abandoning your humanity?”

“………”

Judging Mexico is the worst.

It’s contradictory to say that to Dr. Alion and do that to Mexico, but on the contrary, it’s because it’s like the Great Demon King.

“Either way has a point. It’s natural for life to pursue survival, and for humans, it’s natural to pursue humanity. But the latter won when the two opinions collided.”

“That’s why we fought…”

Worst of all, they only told the names of Atlas and Prometheus, but not in depth.

So the worst thing was that he didn’t tell me why he fought with Dr. Alien, so even Baekri didn’t know.

“But to say that here…”

“I’m sure there’s something to ask you about.”

Whitebeard has two options.

Will you die as a human? Will he survive miserably?

It doesn’t matter which one you choose.

“…Which one should I choose? If you’re looking at the future, aren’t you looking at that?”

“I have no choice but to remain neutral”

She is the manager Even though talking to Baekli right now is just a human terminal, she is not that different from the original unless it’s something unusual like Ruri. She has to see humanity and civilization as a manager, not as a human being.

Administrators are almost omnipotent under their jurisdiction. That’s why even the Great Demon King has no choice but to be a manager.

However, as omnipotent as it is, the responsibility is also great. Although she is a manager from Hannon, her responsibilities compared to the other managers are minimal, so she must remain neutral. Because her favoritism creates as much trouble as her power.

“As much as I am in my position, I cannot personally see it. If there is a future where hundreds of millions of people die and human civilization continues, I have no choice but to choose it.”

“…….”

The view is different. Bai Li only wants to see and save the person in front of her eyes, but she wants humanity to continue.

“If I tell you everything, the decision will be made. Then I will interfere with your freedom.”

“But wouldn’t it be better than not telling you?”

“If I tell you, it is your answer that will be decided. I exist to prepare for the future, not to determine it.”

It is up to the current human race to choose which direction to take and how to proceed. Baek Li assumed the authority and responsibility as her representative.

“……And personally, I can’t say anything because it seems like I’m putting the responsibility on you no matter what choice I make.”

Bailey thought quietly.

As she warns, this position is of utmost importance. It is not strange if the future of mankind is at stake.

What choice should I make here? How should I choose to have no regrets?

But in the end, no matter what you choose, regrets exist. If so, it might be right to act without regret right now.

“I saw an entire country die in Mexico”

It couldn’t be that, she thought.

Even if he dies, it is not that kind of death. It was very shocking even for the viewer to see a whole country erased in an instant.

“When I saw that, I thought it shouldn’t be like this. I realized that human lives shouldn’t be taken so lightly.”

Looking at North Korea, which has disappeared without a trace, there is no particular sense of reality. In the first place, all traces of buildings and civilization were erased, leaving only ruins.

But Mexico is different. In the reality where only people died and even animals remained, it seemed that only the category of humanity had been removed.

“Even if I die, I will die like a human.”

“……..Is that so”

I made the same choice as the worst thought.

It may be natural. Because he who lived with the worst must have been influenced by him in many ways. Moreover, it is not strange that humans pursue humanity.

However, you should take full responsibility for it. And that’s Baekri’s share.

“If that’s the case, all I can do is help. But before that, I’ll apologize first.”

She first apologized to him for what happened.

What is contained there is sorry and compassion. He has to remain neutral, so he can only harbor feelings for the person who is trying to go down the thorny road without doing anything.

Even if Baekli dies under the weight of that responsibility.

“Ever since the greatest evil king was born in this universe and the enemy species invaded, the future has gradually begun to be determined, and the result has already reached the end.

“……..”

“Tell the Great Demon Kings to request a suspension of judgment with the authority of an administrator.”

“A request for suspension of judgment?”

Bailey expressed her doubts. Baek-ri himself almost died after intervening during the refereeing, but I wondered if the suspension request was something else.

“Yes, but if you put your words on hold, it’s actually saying to quit completely. In other words, don’t care what this civilization may end up with.”

The Great Demon King has his own pride in his work. That’s why he judges seriously and decides on it.

However, if an administrator makes a direct request for a hold, that’s suspicious and ignoring them. I did something like that, but the Great Demon Kings can’t look at me kindly.

Although the Great Demon King has existed for a long time, even Utopia has received such requests only a few times.

“If you do this, no further refereeing will be done as you wish and they will back down. But remember.”

That is Baekri’s choice and responsibility.

The manager only lent his knife. That alone is tantamount to her committing a little excess of authority. This is because Alyssa Nier is a terminal, not administrator Ellie.

“The Great Demon King is not necessarily as evil and bad as you think. Even if you came this far was the intention of the worst Great Demon King, Utopia, it is because he also cared about his own humanity.”

If there was a problem with utopia, it was that it was induced by mixing personal feelings with it. Not purely for the sake of mankind, but for a little bit of your own pleasure.

As a result, mankind will surely benefit. But it certainly comes with a lot of sacrifice.

“From the end to the end. Think and think again before making a decision. Since one judgment has already been made, there will be time until the next judgment. So, before that, I hope you make a decision after thinking through enough thoughts.”

“Then……..”

The only tile that works for the Great Demon Kings has been created. However, it is not simply one-sided, but both sides, uncertain damage is caused on both sides.

If you use the request for suspension of judgment, the great demon kings will completely get their hands off the earth.

Even the worst will no longer stay on Earth, and will not be able to do anything like the previous incident in China that they personally committed.

But is it really that good? The better it looks, the more it has disadvantages.

Baek Li calmed down and thought about going back to the golden castle right away and using the request for suspension of judgment.

What should I choose?
