Chapter 294 – [Descent of the Great Demon King]
Concerns about identity are quite complex. In the past, I worried about my self-identity because of my reincarnation, and when I was reincarnated as a woman, I worried about my gender identity.
But what I’m thinking about right now is ethnic identity. Until now, I’ve never been reincarnated as a ‘human’, even if I’m a little ambiguous.
Apparently, when the race changes, the mind also changes, so the races reincarnated are consistent. So, I have never been reincarnated into a non-human species. Rather, it would have been better if I had reincarnated as a non-human.
I laughed off things about my self and sex, but I’m still bound by the framework of being a human being. Usually, when you reach the Lord, you transcend the race, but that’s not what I want.
When it comes to reaching the road, there is a very rare case of climbing the road as a human being. The closest example would be a phantom in Russia.
If you ask which one is better, both have their pros and cons. But what I want is to climb the road as a human being.
“But I’ve come too far for that”
“To go back?”
“It’s a road from which there is no going back.”
“Then you have no choice but to move on and find the answer.”
“That’s it. It’s a matter that time will solve.”
Gray, the absolute referee, judged hastily and became a half. Of course, from the human point of view, even if it is an existence beyond imagination, it is no different from the average among absolutes.
I wouldn’t do that At least so far, I will look at my life for a long time and judge and decide.
Whether I am human or not.
……. To be honest, there are a lot of things I’ve discarded and a lot of other things to say about myself as a human being.
“Looks like guests are coming soon. Shall we prepare to treat them?”
“Guest? Who?”
“It’s Japan. I think it’s better to hope for the right person to come this time.”
“If you have a head, won’t a proper person come this time?”
“………”
As Shion maintained her silence, Shion said Ah! And she let out a belated exclamation.
If the Japanese leadership were really sane, they would not have sent Rep. Kono when they first sent a special envoy in the first place.
Just one step before collapse, Japan is slowly dying from radiation, the people are angry, and the country is not running. How many people can I send to a place to die? It was a fresh shock.
“Doesn’t there seem to be people called Japan? Sending people like that”
“I was originally the foreign minister, so I guess I didn’t even know if I was going to see that I committed a crime.”
“But”
Honestly, who would have imagined that he would be able to see through all his mistakes. At best, it would be mind-alone.
I’m not an expert in that field, but I can easily do things like contemplation and detecting lies, but the reason I’m clearing up my mistakes is because the phantom is linked to the abyss. It’s just that the abyss is a bit polluted, but it’s like fucking big-data.
“If Phantom-san had that level of computing power, he would be three times stronger than he is now.”
“What a monster you are if you triple it there. Even now, you’re the strongest in the dimension.”
“But my dad is crazy.”
“No?! There’s a harsh evaluation there?!”
“I have to be honest with you. By the way, what will you say when you come from Japan this time?”
What they will say is already obvious. It must be asking for the judgment of Japan to be lifted or canceled.
But our answer is also obvious. Japan’s referee can’t reap.
When we cancel or cancel judgment, it means that our judgment is wrong.
How many times do you think we have been judged so far? Even if you make a mistake even once out of a hundred, it is equivalent to destroying dozens of civilizations by mistake.
The Great Demon King’s judgment always had to be absolute and perfect. Furthermore, even if I thought about letting go, there was no room for that because Japan was unanimously convicted. Of course, it was done with only three people, but even if Cienne and Nuri were added, nothing changed.
“It’s meaningless to say anything right now because the Phantom has to come anyway, but maybe they’ll be condescending and push the conditions set by Utopia to Baekri?”
“Oh, that would be nice”
“Is there no option for Japan to survive?”
“Do you think there will be a future where Japan can survive in the current situation? I’m not smarter than you, but that comes out.
There are lines and borders everywhere. But Japan has already crossed that line. Whether it be the judgment as the Great Demon King or the evaluation as an individual.
They will pay the price for deceiving the people. Either way, definitely.
The situation in Japan that appears in the news is that if we allow a dispute, all politicians belonging to the current Liberal Democratic Party cabinet, including Prime Minister Nobe, will be hung. At least, the reason Japan is maintained is because the coup d’etat did not occur due to the prohibition of conflict.
Either way, it perishes anyway. By our judgment. Even if you don’t, you will perish. By the hands of the people themselves.
“A revolution born out of anger has no future. The French Revolution is certainly an important event that gave birth to the concept of human rights, but looking at what went wrong after that, it’s the same.”
The flames of anger were already burning. The flames did not yet have enough firewood to cook them.
All they had to worry about was what and how much was left after the fire. Whether that was just the name of the country Japan, or the country of Japan.
“I think a good person will come this time. I think it will be a pretty interesting story.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I feel good”
“If someone with ‘sense’ ability says something like that, the credibility increases.”
“It’s better for him to take pictures than for me to do calculations, so what’s wrong?”
“My father said he was scared when he saw him guess the lottery numbers when he needed pocket money.”
“Ah, I’m not a person who likes unearned income that much.”
I am a person who knows the joy of work. I like to make money by moving my body, but I don’t like making money that relies on lottery tickets or luck.
Hey, if I were a money teller, I would have bought bitcoins long ago. Even if you don’t, there are endless ways to make money.
“I’ll have to prepare some good coffee this time. Last time, a very bad person came and didn’t even serve me coffee.”
“Which brand? Ours?”
“No, it’s my personal brand. You guys are characterized by a heavy taste that’s good to spend time enjoying. It’s a little too light to drink.”
This guest seems to be someone who deserves a treat.
But even so, nothing changes. What he will receive is, at most, something Baekri has already been allowed to do.
* * *
Arriving at the Golden Castle again, the helicopter landed in the familiar space prepared in front of the castle.
Even if you get nervous the first time, you have to adapt to it the second time. At least I don’t know who rode it, but that was the case with the pilot.
The Japanese envoys have been replaced since they were completely spurned the other day. It was because he couldn’t leave even the slightest margin as long as he judged the other person’s honesty.
“Here…….”
“Let’s go in first. Even if there’s no message, you’ll know we’re here.”
The only one who came back from the previous special envoys was Hibiki. He prayed because he was close to the worst, but in the first place he was a clean person who had never been entangled in corruption even in his own country.
She doesn’t touch politics, she doesn’t do business, and at most she enjoys drinking and eating……. As for a woman, there are people who are already thinking of getting married, so compared to the power she has, it’s strange how clean she is.
So there is trust. Part of the reason the current Japanese government is maintained is that Hibiki still supports the current government.
“Aren’t you afraid of Hiei-san?”
“It’s scary. I don’t know the worst guy, but the other guys are really no joke. But if she’s scared, it won’t change anything.”
Especially the Phantom.
To Hibiki, a phantom wrapped in an abyss is more like something beyond common sense.
At least, I’m sure that Nuri and Ciennu will be able to reach it a little, but the other three don’t have that feeling, and among them, Phantom was like something before real common sense.
A being too gigantic before considering its existence. The act of caring about the little things of such a human being was a counter-evidence of affection and emotion.
“That’s why we have to move on. Even if destruction awaits in front of us, we have no choice but to move on, right?”
“Yes, I see. Thanks for the advice.”
Taro Yamamoto, who was sent this time as an envoy to Japan, nodded and stepped out of his chopper.
Despite the cold weather in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the warmth felt from the golden floor was warm. However, the fact that such energy flows through ordinary gold itself transcends human common sense.
Where did the law of conservation of energy go? What is the principle of generating heat by itself when there is no power source? What is the source of 100% pure gold? The reason is?
But there is no end to it. He made up his mind and decided to move on.
Soon they entered the open gate. The first thing that greeted them was a lifeless garden, but a very beautiful garden.
Everywhere there was not a piece of stone that was not made of gold, and the trees and flowers that bloomed were made of gold, diamonds and crystals. They were mesmerized by the sight that transcended human limits.
Hibiki, the only one he’d seen once, urged them forward.
“Wake up, what do you think you’ll be able to do if you’re overpowered here?”
“…….Ah! Sorry!”
“The person who made it is a bad taste. If you make a place like this and invite it, you’ll naturally be stunned.”
There is far more gold that now makes up this castle than has ever been found on Earth. And gold is the source of human currency. Even if you go back to any era in the past, if you hold a handful of gold, it is an absolute value that makes it possible to make a base.
However, it is extremely overwhelming to see them proudly boasting while destroying such values in front of their eyes. It was like saying that human common sense doesn’t work here.
After coming to their senses, they walked into the castle. A splendid yet antique hall welcomes them.
“Did you come again?”
And there the worst met them.
On the outside, he has the appearance of an ordinary human being and an Asian with only a little bad eyesight, but on the inside, he is one of the 5 Great Demon Kings, and he greeted them leisurely.
Hibiki answered him as naturally as before.
“I brought it prepared this time.”
“Honestly, I don’t think that makes much sense, but…”
The worst looked around them. This time, there was no one who caught him, as he was a person who had been brought back after being completely overthrown. Even if the phantom saw it, there were no bad impressions.
When deciding which envoy to send next from Japan, those who were guilty in the first place stepped back. Because there is no choice but to go out and die.
It’s much better to have my own standard passed on than to have a high possibility of dying from the start. So, among those gathered now, there were some volunteers.
…….Of course, there must be a natural reason that a person of a level that would be allowed by Phantom’s standards would not be able to ignore the crisis in their country.
“Japan’s judgment is decided. It cannot be changed. Even if we decide again now, it will be unanimous in the end.”
Even if you try to change now, it is already too late.
It’s over, but nothing will change even if you try, nothing will change even if you reflect on what you should have done earlier.
Japan has committed so many sins. Not simply as a war criminal, but guilty of not repenting of the crime against him.
Even if you have committed a crime in the past, if you show signs of remorse, the Great Demon King will look good on you. After all, it is a matter for those living in the present to judge and decide.
But Japan did not. Germany also hated the Nazis rather than praising them, but Japan rather affirmed them by worshiping at the shrines dedicated to war criminals.
So it was natural that there was no reason to forgive them.
“Why don’t you stop doing useless things and go back and read the people?”
“You know what to do”
“I knew you would say that. Come in first. I’ll treat you to coffee.”
“When I came before, we met right away, but not this time?”
“That phantom went to Russia. Of course, before that, I didn’t have the time to meet you, so I didn’t even qualify.”
Senator Kono will continue to suffer until his soul is worn out in the abyss. It is the most intense of the pains that one will receive after death.
In other words, burning in hellfire… No, even if it’s burning in hellfire, at best it’s just a process of burning the karma of the previous life and preparing for reincarnation.
“Looks like you’ll pass this time. Wait a while and prepare your mind before coming in.”
“Treatment is good”
“This is the classic route”
Eventually, unlike the last time, the Japanese envoys definitely welcomed me as ‘guests’ this time.
They were ushered into the castle with smiling faces. But there was one thing they didn’t know.
It means that no matter what you present and struggle with, the result is already decided.
