Chapter 293 – [Descent of the Great Demon King]

While Phantom, Utopia, and Nuri were out, I was playing chess with Cienne at home.

No, it’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Strictly speaking, my house is not here… Ah, I sold the one in Korea. Then my house will be like a horizon.

The golden castle we are staying in has almost no convenience except that it is made of gold.

I don’t know about Utopia or Nuri, where there is no such thing as a house in the first place, but me, Phantom, and Ciennes have much better houses, so they are much better than these castles.

“Checkmate”

“Ah, I really can’t play chess. What kind of punching bag am I? Keep losing”

“Because it’s fun to hang out with you”

“I’d love to”

We were playing chess on the castle terrace, enjoying the sea breeze. The chessboard is made entirely of pure gold from the board to the pieces, and the details are unnecessarily alive, so it could be sold as a work of art rather than the price of gold, but honestly, it is heavy.

The game on the board was checkmated with the white king surrounded by black knights, bishops, queens and rooks. No, because I’m not really a young person who uses my brain.

“I usually start with the head of the opponent’s king when I do this. A game is a game.”

“Ah, you’re thinking of causing trouble by causing me to lose my head, right? After all, the power will be scattered.”

“Usually, one shot of that kind of thing is enough.

When a king dies, a dispute arises to determine the next king and gain greater power.

However, in the case of the Phantoms, first of all, the Phantoms are so fucking strong that it is impossible to assassinate them, and secondly, the Demon Lords under them are good friends and do not intend to fight with power, so there is no civil war without Phantoms.

And thirdly, the successor after Phantom is Cienne. This is not a gamble and it is confirmed, so no one can dispute it.

“I’m good at chess, would you like to leave?”

“Ah, a cheater who can calculate all the moves in chess has arrived!”

“Well, that’s true.”

“If I want to play chess with Mrs. Shion, my mom will have to come.”

“Because Mr. Ruinel also plays chess. By the way, did you finally catch the title of mother?”

“No matter how obscure it is to call you after my father married my childhood friend, thousands of years is enough time to get used to it.”

“Hey, if someone hears it, they’ll think of Phantom as a 10-year-old.”

In a way, you might think that Phantom is a bastard married to his daughter’s friend, but in fact, Cienne and Phantom are not related by blood. I just adopted her because it happened to be meant to be, and rather, I met her sister-in-law, Louisel, rather than Cienne.

“I wish I had a daughter like Cienne.”

“I hope she doesn’t look like me. If she looks like me, her personality will be weird, so no.”

“But what if I look just like me, and my body becomes weak like a child?”

“Then let’s make them look like me from the neck down. Then the body would be just like a model.”

“A child whose hair and appearance resembles me, and whose body resembles you, will become a perfect person who combines both literary and martial arts.”

“But it’s the children who are so hard to come out of.

“I want to get married too”

“You’ll make a boyfriend first. I think I will tolerate the phantom’s boyfriend in the first place.”

Perhaps because of her family history, Phantom is a darling of her beloved wife. If she tells her that her daughter has a boyfriend, she will look at the bastard’s face and throw it away if she doesn’t like her.

To be honest, I would too. No, it is. Because in my previous life, when I had a child, I treated the person who would become my son-in-law meticulously. If you don’t have ambition, it’s a bakery.

If you’re a boy, you must have the spirit to shout something like ‘give me your daughter!’ At a meeting. All right

“By the way, what is Yejin doing?

“I’m playing with Ruri’s friend at Horizon. He seems a bit surprised at first, but he’s getting used to it, so he’s playing well.”

“Oh, that’s good.”

As Ruri’s friend, who was taken advantage of during a kidnapping case before, becomes mental care to some extent, she seems to be playing well in Horizon with Yejin. Because we’re the same age.

Horizon is a ship made for pure entertainment, not for migration or development, so there are plenty of things to enjoy. There are so many facilities inside Horizon that you can’t enjoy them all even if you spend a year playing. Even I don’t know where everything is.

“Kids like to play well. And soon we will be on this planet.”

“Ah, did you say you were going to move to Mars?

“Because the terraforming equipment also came from that side… Anyway, for people like me, it’s better to stay away from human civilization.”

It was called nangjungjichu.

If the awl is in the pocket, it will most likely break through. It is extremely difficult for me to stay quiet with such power and character.

It is natural for me to be embroiled in trouble as I am now, unless the absolute ruler of fate provides convenience. Rather than that, it’s better to go somewhere else and build a civilization.

“Have you ever been quiet?”

“Hmm… It was like 2 or 3 episodes ago. At that time, I couldn’t even meet Shion, so I just set up a shop and lived well. Back then, I lived really quietly.”

“What store?”

“Mapo tofu house. Oh, and there’s one suspicious thing. It might be the dimension where Gray’s Moorim disciples lived.”

“Why aren’t you sure? That’s a little strange.”

“At that time, the emperor was in the midst of a Murim eradication policy, so he dragged away all the guys who carried weapons and just did that. Murim’s dark period? Just like that. That’s why rumors about Murim didn’t come out well.”

Usually, there are occasions when the Murim people riot in an inn, but if the emperor takes control and suppresses the Moorim, the government troops will be dispatched from the moment the riot occurs in the inn.

But for ordinary grassy people, it’s a good thing. To be honest, the Moorim people are like outlaws who don’t abide by the law.

“Well, it’s a dynasty that was almost ruined anyway. I don’t know how much the time difference between dimensions is, but it must have been ruined?”

“Because it’s an unusual dimension there. The administrator of that planet is under his grandfather’s direct control, but I heard that there are restrictions on civilization.”

“Ah, I heard that story from King Manbyeong”

“Aren’t you sure if we met in that dimension?”

“No, I met him while traveling in another dimension. I just got married to a fairy from the Balaur tribe, filmed Oneshota, and then.”

“It’s the exact opposite of us.”

In the first place, if I don’t touch it, I’m an extremely ordinary person. The store I built was not a house where I stayed like a guest, but a restaurant where I went to have a meal, so there was little possibility of trouble.

It wasn’t completely non-existent, but on the condition that the business was going well, it was prevented in advance by putting the nearby Moorim Breakwater on the back boat.

“How did you say that you said that you had a policy to obliterate Murim?”

“It’s fine as long as you’re openly active. Even if you’re an emperor, it doesn’t affect all areas in the central plains, and even the officials in the prefecture don’t have enough manpower to handle them all.”

“It’s realistic. It’s also a law that doesn’t actually come true.”

“Perhaps the personal part of the emperor is a big law. If you just don’t do activities openly, he will implicitly give you permission. If you make a fuss, it’s okay.”

“It would be difficult to turn something like Moorim into an enemy.”

In the end, it’s one-on-one. I like societies with a developed concept of human rights like the modern Earth, but sometimes I like societies like Moorim. Because power is no different from logic.

Sometimes the justification takes precedence, but in the end, there must be power. In terms of that, it’s also the best place to live if you have the energy.

Hey, think about it. Would I have come to this point if this was Murim, not modern society? From the beginning, everyone must have been shutting up with their mouths shut from the point of control of China.

“Sometimes I think of Moorim. I miss the cuisine there. Here in China, there are so many dishes that were practiced during the Cultural Revolution.

“Did you say Yong Ha-yeon? I heard you have disciples from your eldest father? Then, wouldn’t it be fine to stop by when you take me to your hometown dimension?”

“Ah…But I don’t have the coordinates. I couldn’t save the coordinates because Shion hadn’t come back then.”

“If that’s the case, why don’t you ask Mr. Gray? Couldn’t you remember the coordinates of your apprentice dimension?”

“Oh, that’s it too”

But taking Zion is a bit different. Because the logic of power is ahead there, it may be more likely to suffer than the modern Earth.

It’s not just that a beautiful female master who is addicted to aphrodisiacs meets once in a while on the road. In the first place, women’s rights are not guaranteed, but if you take Zion, you will see blood. Of course not me, but the opponent.

And most of all, I don’t like Shion killing people. Killing someone in front of your eyes is sure to make you feel bad. Of course, Zion’s feelings are more important than other people’s lives.

“I assure you, if you go there again, the probability of getting into trouble is damn high. Obviously, the Dark Forces of Magyoni are on the verge of becoming active, so they’re on the verge of going crazy.”

“It’s like someone who’s been through it”

“Sival, I will just live as I live, but do you know how many bastards say that I will conquer Murim?

Everyone wants to be superior to others, and those who have mastered martial arts want to wield that power.

And those who have become so strong that they seem unmatched under the sky want to use that power to rule the world.

Conquer the world. What a thrilling word that is. Of course, I’ve seen too many ugly sights to be thrilled with that word, though.

“I don’t need power. Unlike you, who is in charge of governance, what I see is society. Because there is no ruler, society exists, so I don’t feel the need for power.”

“You sound like Nuri”

“It’s different. It’s the freedom I enjoy and I’m a society. The two are bound to exist, but they’re still different. It’s like the difference between an Americano and a cafe latte.”

“Is it just the difference in milk?”

“There may be a society without freedom, but there may be freedom without society. Without society, there is only the individual. Even if an individual cries out for responsibilities and rights, it is meaningless.”

“Sometimes it’s nice to talk to the old man like this. There’s a lot to be gained from it. The old man’s social theory is interesting.”

“I see”

I have reincarnated in many worlds and seen many societies.

There were countries based on democracy, such as South Korea, which was born on this planet, while others were dictatorships, such as North Korea. There were countries, such as Britain, a constitutional monarchy, but there were also countries that operated completely centralized monarchies.

Of course, as civilization develops, the proportion of democracy increases, but it is not that there were no civilizations that maintained the monarchy despite the technology at the level of space development.

“In the end, people can live without a king. A society is just the minimum unit necessary for humans to live and build a civilization. From there, things can’t go wrong.”

Moreover, I know my subject. It is still hard to imagine myself running a country or an organization.

Above all, what would happen if I, who is in charge of society, created society? Even now, the Mars migration plan is not me, but Zion, so I’m not even touching it.

As the Great Demon King in charge of society, it is good to see the society and try to fit in there, but it is not possible to make it. Because if I make it, nothing but a strange dystopia will be created.

“I am honestly afraid that we will create a civilization where food, clothing, shelter and leisure activities are guaranteed, but no more freedom is allowed.”

“It’s a bit scary.”

“If a fucking utopia reincarnates and becomes the manager, I’ll make a world like that of a model garden… Oh, come to think of it”

Suddenly, I remember my mother-in-law. She’s an administrator, so her body might be somewhere else, but this Earth has her terminal. She asked to meet me sometime and forgot.

“You should also meet your mother-in-law.”

“I’ll make a separate appointment later. Right now, there’s an interview for migrants from Mars.”

“Really? Has it already been that time?”

“It’s been quite some time since the Great Demon King was summoned. Rather, it took quite a long time just to review the documents as the number of applicants increased.”

“Oh, it’s because of us.”

“Especially there are many Japanese applicants”

“I didn’t pay attention when they told me to quit nuclear power, but I sat down with energy to leave Japan.”

“Oh, the worst man’s drip always rhymes with words. Is it a Korean mystery?”

“It’s the mystery of literature”

“Honestly, I am surprised by his grammatical drip that pops up from time to time.”

“Don’t ignore Mungwa anymore, Iguaya!”

“If you can explain the chemical principle of a disposable hand warmer that is often used in winter, you can say that.”

“………..”

“Uncle… Can you not understand?”

“That kind of field is not my specialty. If you transcend the laws of physics, there is no need to understand such things in the first place!”

“It’s like a child making excuses like, ‘I’m making a game, so it’s okay if I don’t do math!'”

“If you’re going to say something like that, it’s convincing if you say it after you’ve been loaded in the first place. You’ll die if you get hit directly by something like Big Bang.”

“Hmm”

It’s true, so I can’t argue against it. When I reach the road, even if I get hit by something like the Big Bang of creation of the universe, it ends in pain, but I die because I have a human body.

In the first place, there is no worry about lifespan when it reaches the load. It is because they break away into beings without the concept of lifespan like Zion.

“Among the Transcendentalists who haven’t reached the Lord, you’re the first one, aren’t you? That’s just a little, one step ahead.”

“How did you know?”

“Dad told me. And that I’m hesitating because I can’t decide on the most important ‘will’.”

“That bastard Phantom talks about useless things…”

When you reach the road where the memory of lifespan disappears, you will usually die under the weight of those years. Therefore, each of the Lords takes the work they can dedicate their whole life to as their ‘will’ and establishes a firm mindset.

It’s like a starter word similar to mind control, and as a virtuoso, it’s like the magic name of magicians in the Index of Index, and it’s also like a future hope or job that determines one’s life.

But I don’t have that ‘will’ yet. Oh, it would be most correct to say that it was not decided.

“I can become a load right now if I want to.”

I am just worrying.

It is the question of whether I am human or not.
