Chapter 313 – [Descent of the Great Demon King]

For a while, Baek-ri stayed in his house, cut off from the outside world.

He has been played by Utopia and has lost his strongest ally and knows that the earth will face a crisis.

Physical shock can be recovered with super regeneration, but mental shock must be overcome by oneself.

If not, the only thing at the end is suicide.

“Do you want to make a snowman with me?”

“……I’m not in the mood to joke.”

“I’m not kidding. I was just trying to suggest that we go out for a bit of a change of mood after the first snow outside.”

Nothing had changed in Baek-ri’s room. Nothing really. Baek-ri, who was curled up in bed with no sign of being touched, didn’t eat or drink, just stayed that way.

Ordinary people would have been on the verge of death or severely depleted of energy, but the body that stepped into the transcendental world did not allow that.

Even now, the body, which can move with almost 100 percent power, made it easier to recall Baekri’s sins.

The more I recall, the heavier the burden never got. Even now, tens of thousands of people have already been sacrificed due to hostile species.

It is all his fault.

“There are quite a few people who came to see my brother. Are we not going to meet?”

“I’m not in the mood to meet you”

“Oh, you burner. If you keep doing that, you’re going to be stuck in the corner of the room like that?”

Even Baek-ri can hear the chatter of people outside, even when they are sitting still. He knew very well how things were going.

But getting on top of that and getting up on your own is another matter.

“Mom and Dad are worried a lot too. First of all, tell Ms. Shion that both of you are staying at Horizon, so you’ll be safe.”

“……Hyung?”

“I’m gone. I went to Moorim and took Aunt Yong Ha-yeon. I probably won’t be back for a while.”

The worst has already left the earth. It won’t come for at least a few months.

However, it is certain that the earth will experience hell during those few months. If there was a worst, the worst like his name might have been prevented, but not now.

Baekri asked Ruri in a melancholy voice.

“Did I do something wrong?”

“Did you know that now?”

An older brother or something, Ruri was a child who plugged in the effect and looked at it. Baek-ri was speechless at Ruri’s direct speech.

He didn’t even have much to say at first. Because I thought it would be like that from the beginning.

“In a way, it must have been a good thing. At least, it’s like saving another human civilization tens of thousands of light years away.

“…Even if that’s the case, it’s meaningless.”

“Yes, my cold hurts more than someone else’s serious illness. People don’t think of other people’s pain as their own.”

It seems that the Great Demon King’s judgment is random, but on the other hand, it is very accurate and there must be a basis equivalent to it.

This is because even natural dimensional earthquakes caused by friction between dimensions can be seen as an act of aggression if simply the act of a monster such as an enemy species appearing beyond a dimension is considered an act of aggression.

You need to look at the whole thing and judge it objectively, not just one side of the case. It is natural that a reasonable procedure and rationale are needed as it is a matter of countless human lives.

There are limits to what can be seen from the Earth’s point of view. There was also a witness named Dr. Allian, but judging only by the testimony of a witness is no different from accusing an innocent man of sexual harassment by believing only the words of a woman.

At least, I had no choice but to go directly to that dimension and check it…Or else I had no choice but to secure the physical evidence remaining in this dimension.

“And the most certain of those physical proofs is that the Earth will perish.”

If a civilization that has been judged by the Great Demon King remains acquitted, it has the value of remaining under the protection of the Great Demon King.

At least, there is nothing to be destroyed by outside interference unless they are destroyed by fighting and fighting among themselves. The Great Demon King protects them from huge meteorites flying from space, alien invasions, and dimensional invasions like now.

The point is that if you can pass the referee, you can have a strong backing.

There are some countries on Earth that have already passed the judgment… But before they were all finished, they requested a postponement of the judgment, so all of them were also nullified.

“The living are searched according to the living, and the dead are killed according to the dead. It’s all your brother’s responsibility.”

“………”

“Fortunately, my brother knew that, so he was suffering from depression.

Baek-ri asked while watching Ruri, who still did not leave the room.

“Then what did you come in for?”

“I’m going out, but guests will come later, so open the door yourself.”

“What guest?”

“Yes, I know. Looking at oppa’s situation, Ji is an asshole who doesn’t even know what to do, so he needs someone to push his back. To be honest, he won’t even listen to what I say, so he calls me someone who can talk to me much better.”

“Who? Mr. Lee Kyung-jin? Ye-jin?”

“Someone else you don’t know”

When Baek-ri thinks of his narrow human relationships, there is no one like that. Even if there is, it’s just that it’s not there like the worst.

Then it’s said that he’s someone he’s never met… Is there anyone out there who can say something to Baek-ri?

“I’m going to go speculate on Mars now~”

Ruri hummed like that as she went out. I don’t know if he really intends to do that, but it seemed to be true that guests were coming.

Many guests have already come to the house, but Baek-ri has not met a single one. Guilt is because he didn’t let his body move easily.

Ding dong!

After some time had passed, I heard someone ring the doorbell.

Although Ruri asked for it, she has no intention of meeting a guest who came to her. Bai Li bowed her head and was silent.

Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!

“………”

The opponent did not give up and continued to press the doorbell.

But he was Baekri, who had no intention of responding. Then the opponent started knocking on the door.

Thud! Thud!!!

A heavy sound echoes. However, despite this, Baekri did not come out, so the knocking on the door intensified and then stopped.

I thought I had finally given up, but I suddenly realized that the presence of the person in front of the front door had not disappeared.

“……..Uh?”

Quad de deuk!!!!

The sound of metal being smashed with wild force was heard. Judging by the sound and location, it looks like the front door has been ripped out.

Baekri hurriedly ran out of the room and looked at the front door. There, a man with a burly build was holding the front door he had removed and laying it down beside him.

I had never met him, but I knew his face. Because it often appears on TV.

He was a man from a country that had already been destroyed after the Judgment… Nevertheless, among the Japanese, he was treated as an honored guest.

“If you were at home, you should come out. Are you at the doorstep?”

Hiei Hibiki, a master user from Japan, visited Baekri’s house.

*        *    *

Baekri had many things to think about, but if you think about what to consider first, there was something very obvious.

“What is the front door of my house?!”

“You’re saying you’d pay the price for ignoring me when I was at home, right?”

“You didn’t even contact me?!”

“You didn’t accept it, so I gave it to your sister. Didn’t you hear about it?”

“Ah……..”

Confused by the unexpected situation, I forgot about it for a moment, but Ruri said her guests were coming. However, she did not know that it was Hibiki, a former master user in Japan.

Having become a naturalized Korean with familiar Korean language, he became active as a POS user in Korea. He was flocking to sign from various countries, but it seemed that it would be better to go to Korea, which was a relatively close country.

No matter how much it is, Korea, which is the same oriental region, is better than distant places like Europe or the United States. China is in the middle of a civil war, so I can’t even enter the option.

“I took a moment to come. I wondered if something had happened because I didn’t move at the right time to move.”

“That is…….”

“Oh, is this the first time we’ve met? Take it easy. We have an age difference anyway. If I had married early, I would have had a son like you.”

“……You speak Korean well”

“I learned. It took quite a while at least.”

The overall specs of Force users are superior to those of ordinary humans. Even more so, master users are basically good at understanding even if they are not in their field of expertise, so learning a language is not such a big deal.

“Let’s talk. Oh, are there any drinks in the house?”

“Alcohol? If you look for it, you’ll find soju or beer…”

“When talking with men, it takes a bit of alcohol to tell a sincere story.”

“I’m not even drunk”

“The atmosphere is like that, the atmosphere. Oh, there’s just such a thing.”

In the glass cupboard in the kitchen of Baekri’s house, Western liquor and Chinese liquor, which he had received as a gift from somewhere, were placed as decorations.

It has been placed as a decoration since ancient times, so I didn’t think it was alcohol. Hibiki opened the cupboard, took out a glass bottle of liquor, removed the lid, and sniffed it.

“Hmm. It’s old and it smells a bit because it’s been left at room temperature. But it’s not something you can’t drink.”

“Will you drink that?!”

“It has to be at this level to taste good for us to drink, isn’t it?”

Usually, when a guest arrives, I drink a cup of coffee, but rather than coffee, I pour all the liquor into a larger cup.

Because it was put for decoration, it was not in good storage condition, so it gives me a little excitement. But it doesn’t look like you can’t drink it.

“I heard about the story.

“……Have you heard from Ruri?”

“Yeah, my sister is pretty smart. She’s a tough kid who seems to do well wherever she goes.”

It has been like that since before. He has a talent for being consistent at his own pace. That’s why I’ve been wanting it to be as good as Ruri’s since before…

After all, that is only possible if the society called Earth remains. Her back li robbed her of that background as well.

“In conclusion, you are a fucking pathetic bastard right now.”

“……..”

“And I’m not saying that because of your choices”

“Yes?”

Baek-ri expressed her doubts because she was told that she was not like that because of her choice, although she was prepared to be scolded for what she had done.

“I called you an asshole because you weren’t responsible for your choices. You made this, what are you doing right now?”

“That is……..”

“Are you going to commit suicide while crying after being stuck in the corner of your room like this? It’s just an escape.”

It is common for high-ranking officials who caused controversy to take responsibility and resign.

But you can’t just say you’re responsible for it. He doesn’t even come to terms with what he’s done, because to back down is just to run away.

If you really want to take responsibility, it’s natural to try to fix it as much as possible.

“The Utopia guy who used you is bad, but you who made a choice and ran away without taking responsibility is also bad.”

“But because of my choices, the Earth is in danger. If the invasion starts in earnest, more people will die.”

“So? Isn’t the judgment of the Great Demon King and the death of people the same anyway? The difference is only in the number of deaths.”

“You don’t think it’s that easy!”

“In the end, you would have regretted whatever you chose then. Then at least after your choice, you should struggle not to regret it. That’s the duty and responsibility of the person who chose it.”

Baek Li didn’t do anything after the referee’s request.

It was like Japan. The Japanese people didn’t do anything even though the politicians were deceiving the people by implementing a dehumanizing policy. Can we say that there is no responsibility there?

“Move for now. Try to do as much as you can, clench your teeth and bump into each other, and if that doesn’t work, you can regret it then.”

Regrets happen no matter what you do, and it’s always too late.

So, at least for now, let’s get moving. Get up and do what you have to do.

Ruri also knew that, so she bruised Baekri and even called Hibiki. Even if you don’t know about exchange, you must be a senior in life.

“First of all, let’s go to China with me. From there, we have to destroy the production base of the enemy species that came out of Dimensional Jin.”

“China?! Suddenly?!”

“Because he messed with it, so I think I can handle it now.”

Among the bases of antagonistic species that appeared in three places, the one located in Beijing had the least number of antagonistic species and the situation was better. This is because the worst has already wiped out half of Beijing’s population, and many people have fled, so there are not many humans to use as material for the production of the enemy species.

“Besides, Yong-sister went back to his hometown or something, so there are no master users in China.

“……..”

The important thing right now is not to be depressed and squeamish.

You have to somehow endure the current situation as much as possible.

Realizing this, Baekli made up his mind again and stood up from his seat.

“I’ll take your passport first.”

“Your passport is gone, call your girlfriend first. Tsar. What’s the point of being a man?”

“Did Ruri talk about Yejin?!”

“The story of you flirting has already been all over the Internet.”

“?!?!?!”

Things hadn’t gotten to their worst yet. At least I can see hope.

At least it will be a matter of time.
