Chapter 695 – [A Journey to the Demon World]
It was only the two of us, Korma and I, who went to the Pandemonium. Others remain in the Empire and wait.
I didn’t pack much because I thought I’d be able to procure what I needed anyway. Oh, but I have one thing to take care of.
“It’s a dimensional receiver. Based on that, we’ll send Horizon’s dimensional repeater so we can contact you.”
“I’ll be in touch often”
“Don’t get hurt and have a good trip”
“Where am I going to get hurt?”
“Somehow I don’t feel well.”
“Well……..”
My intuition is good, but sometimes a woman’s intuition can’t be ignored. If Shion says that, somehow I feel like I should be careful.
Anyway, getting ready to go to Pandemonium, Korma also prepared to return to his hometown after a while.
Surprisingly, however, Korma had a lot of luggage, most of which were necessities.
“In the Demon Realm, these things are lacking. It’s better to bring them.”
“Well, if I don’t have it, I live as if I don’t have it. At least I tend to bring spices.”
If it’s really not enough, you can contact the person who received the dimensional receiver and ask them to send you what you need. Technology is meant to be used at times like this.
After getting ready, Korma and I headed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Pandemonium. Oh, of course, Korma is hiding from self-fantasy. It’s because you have to go over illegally even when you go there legally.
Ah, the reason why it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and not the Research Institute of Science and Technology is that in order to eventually go to the Devil World, you have to connect from the Devil World first. And that’s only possible this way.
“Come this way, Your Highness. The preparations have already been completed.”
“It looks like you’ve been talking to the Demon World, right?”
“Originally, [Right leg of the whole body] Is a self-fantasy that can only be used by followers who worship the whole body in black. That is not one or two, but at least ten demons should use it. That’s why we can’t use it.”
Because the black body is the god that demons mainly believe in. It is not that there are no believers on the continent, but they are non-mainstream and small enough to have no power. At least, there was no black in the academy’s theology department.
When the promised time arrives, a crack I’ve seen before splits. And there, the male dreamer I had seen before appeared.
“It’s been a while, Your Highness, Third Prince. This time, I’m in charge of guiding Your Highness…”
“Was it Margtino Rem?”
“Ah, you remember.”
With the self-fantasy of [A man who is loved anytime, anywhere], He was a dreamer with the highest ability in diplomacy. I remembered that his self-fantasy was similar to that of Helene von Valentine.
I think the other side purposely sent a familiar dreamer to treat me well.
“I don’t know how long I will stay, but please take good care of me for a while.”
“I understand, Your Highness”
Then I rode on [The right leg of the whole body] And went over to the demon realm.
Unlike the 【Bridge Connecting Space】, it is the Demon World as soon as you cross it. The air felt at the same time was different from anywhere else on the continent.
“……What is it? Aren’t you kidding?”
I think I know why demons are strong. There was a lot of imagination in the alien power that I felt in the air. I think it’s almost on the level of delusion.
Simply put, the average is high. It is a good environment, so it can only grow strong and good.
But that’s not all that good… If the effect affects the creatures here, it becomes stronger as well. In the end, it is said that it will be leveled up, but if you do not achieve a strong society, you will be defeated by the natural environment.
“This is the demon realm, it’s different from what I know.”
“Your Highness, do you know about the other Demon Realms?”
“I have a friend”
I answered the question that Korma asked me as he unraveled his fantasies, thinking of the phantom.
It is also the Pandemonium that Phantom Gnome uses as its base dimension. It’s just that, unlike this place, they use magical power instead of imagination… What should I say, it’s a tough place there too.
“Welcome, Your Highness, Third Prince”
At that time, someone who seemed to be a human-like demon with dragon horns and a tail politely bowed his head and greeted me.
His well-groomed black outfit, and the power of fantasy flowing through his body, belonged not to him, but to someone else. White is dead, and gray’s imagination knows what it feels like, so he must be a priest who serves black.
“I’m Ruth Horntail of the Black Church. I’m not good enough, but I hold a bishopric within the Church.”
“It’s called Worst Pawn Frontier. Please take good care of me.”
I thought that self-fantasy, which can only be done by borrowing the power of a god, could only be done in the Black Church. So, of course, I thought that would be the case, but somehow it feels a little strange.
No, Bishop Ruth Horntail in front of me wasn’t particularly bad either. He seemed to be a fairly gentle and nice person for a demon who was said to be rather warlike.
What the hell is this feeling? Well, I guess I need to get to know you slowly. Because there is plenty of time anyway.
“There are many things to talk about with the VIPs, but first of all, it seems like you need some time to adjust to the environment of the Pandemonium… I’ll see you later.”
“Let’s do that. I have a lot to tell you too.”
Oh, and then I have one question. If I, as the savior of the demon realm, were directly oracled by God, wouldn’t it be normal to move at the level of the pope?
Gray chose to watch, and White even assassinated him, but kept it a secret. But here, the story is so well known that even Korma knows about it.
I wouldn’t have known it openly, but it must have been a story that people in the know know, and it’s spread that much, but the pope didn’t come out to meet me……. I smell this.
As soon as I came out of the temple of the Black Church, the scene of the Pandemonium came into view in earnest. The time here is night, and the sky is full of beautiful starlight like the Milky Way.
Hey, nice scenery Sleeping while counting the stars would be perfect.
“Your Highness, then I will take you to the Demon King’s Castle immediately. It would be better to have an audience with the Demon King after resting there.”
“It seems to give you time to rest, but why?”
“It takes time to adapt to normal humans because the environment in the Demon Realm is harsh.”
Oh, yes. If you think about it, the concentration of fantasy power flowing in the air is high, so it must be difficult if it affects the body. Do you think that the high oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is bad for the body?
But that doesn’t matter to me either. Since my body belongs to a transcendental being, I am not greatly restricted even in this environment.
“I have no problem. I can see the Demon King right away, so it would be better to apply for an audience when I get to the Demon Castle.”
“Ah! In that case, I understand.”
Marghtino Lem bowed his head and agreed with me. The envy that could be seen in his eyes had a strong feeling of ‘As expected, Savior is different no matter what’s different!’
After coming out of the temple, we headed for the Demon King’s Castle, riding in a carriage… I don’t know if it should be called, but anyway, it was pulled by a horse-like creature.
Marguerite Lem smiled and sat down beside his coachman, leaving only me and Korma in the carriage.
“Come to think of it, I said I was going to the Demon World, but I didn’t ask about this or that.
“Because he attended the party before he came. If you have any questions, I’ll answer them.”
“First of all, it seems that the distance to the Demon King’s Castle is quite far, but wouldn’t it be better to use [Bridge Connecting Space] Instead of a carriage?”
“Ah…We don’t have that self-fantasy.”
“Yes?”
“Because of the different environment, I couldn’t use the [Bridge that connects space]. Besides, I don’t have a similar self-fantasy… So, in the Demon Realm, we can only move by land and sea.”
“Why the hell are you like that?”
“…Because our main self-fantasies are related to destruction and war. Compared to the continent, there are fewer practical self-fantasies.”
Well, if the race itself is strong and goes to war without even trying, there is no choice but to develop that way. Of course, if you apply it to war technology, you can get useful technologies such as rockets and navigation, but that’s only part of it.
Besides, if it’s a Pandemonium that occupies a large part of the area where delusions can live… It’s bound to be barren.
“Recognize that slowly, and I heard the other day that the Rem clan is a strong race, but please tell me what forces to be careful of in the Pandemonium.”
“Ah, if that’s the case…”
First, the Rem clan centered on the current Demon King.
And the Vampire Retpeshu clan.
The Bores clan, who came from the continent and adapted to this place, became part of the Pandemonium.
Finally, to the Black Church.
It is said that the demon realm is divided into four factions.
“No, it’s not a country, but it’s just a fucking day when it’s a clan society. Garu and Gowon are also bickering, but you guys are fine.”
Over there, the Great Forest of Urca was a single race of elves, even if it was a clan society. Garuna Plateau is a place where many beastmen live together, so there are various problems, but they solve it somehow in that line.
But here it is different. Force! Strong meat diet! Survival of the fittest! It was a society where such beast laws still prevailed.
“It’s a little better since the Demon King enacted a duel law, not a war, a few generations ago.”
“Duel?”
“It’s a duel in which, in the event of a dispute, a few people from both sides send out a few people to fight and follow the will of the winning side. When there was no such law, there were times when war broke out for over 500 years.”
“Aren’t you crazy?”
“I don’t think that’s a bit much”
Kormaya, perhaps because of my influence, her mind has become more human… Oh, by the way, this is a good thing. As human beings are imperfect, the power that comes from their hearts is strong. That’s why there are many transcendents of human origin among transcendentalists.
Anyway, it’s a duel. That one is good Doesn’t that mean that if things go wrong, you can solve them legally by force?
As the great demon king who presides over society, I abide by the laws of that society at all times. To the extent that I would be willing to serve a prison term if I was justly sentenced to prison for killing someone.
But if the law here is the law of the jungle, you have to accept it!!!!
“And within the Black Church, there are currently two factions.”
“……Ah, is that why the pope didn’t come to meet me?”
“Yes, Bishop Ruth of the Horntail clan, whom Your Highness met earlier, is the head of that faction. His title is a bishop, but he is the one who leads the moderate faction.”
“I don’t think it’s just classified as a moderate.”
“Even within the Black Church, unity was not achieved due to differences of opinion, but it was relatively recently united under the name of the moderate faction.
Trust in me. Gray and black, I don’t know who noticed me first, but I think white is the last and the two are similar.
If so, that was decades ago at the most. It was relatively recent by the standards of the demons.
“At that time, it is said that the predecessor of black directly gave an oracle to some of the priests. The priests who heard the oracle formed a faction around it and became the current moderate faction.”
“If you say there are moderates, you must mean that there are radicals. It seems that the pope is a radical.”
“Yes……And one thing. The other word for extremists is primordial regressive.”
“A primitive return?”
“It’s a faction that invades the continent again and seeks to obtain the continent and enjoy a better life. At least, the demon lord is acting tough, so we can’t put it into practice.”
“That’s just a war criminal. How come two out of the three popes I’ve seen are like that?”
No, the odds are 2/3. Who rigged this?
……….Operation?
I was lost in thought at that moment. Since he must have been active in the Pandemonium, he must have made repairs here too, then the Pope now…?
There is a possibility. Besides, wouldn’t that guy’s actions eventually cause trouble on the continental level?
“The pope saidheheard the oracle, but even so, he said he couldn’t give up the continent for the sake of his fellow countrymen who were suffering, so he continued to pursue the project.”
“Just looking at it, I feel like I’m playing the media”
I heard the story from Korma, but somehow all I could do was sigh.
Even though he only heard one of the four great powers. That’s about it, but what else would it be like?
I didn’t have a lot of time to stay in the demon realm, but I felt inexhaustible that I would have to stay for more than a few months.
“First of all, let’s meet and talk about the demon king… Ah, do you have any idea what the demon king will say?”
“There is a high possibility that Her Highness will ask you to do what you did on the continent.”
“What did you do on the continent? Oh, demolition of delusion?”
“In the Demon Realm, delusional land occupies two-thirds of the habitable land with a little exaggeration… Thanks to that, it’s to the point where we don’t even have enough to eat.”
The delusion seen on the continent was also caused by this and that, but in the end, it was created by great shock, conflict, and friction.
But what about the more severe demon realm? Besides, the kids here have a high average, so the probability of delusion is high.
It wouldn’t be strange if delusion flared up once a war broke out, and there might be times when two delusions overlapped.
Besides, it is difficult to organize easily if the source of the delusion is hidden by the gnome Sandman by scattering even the pieces.
If it’s a common delusion, you can mobilize the national power to deal with it, but if you go to war, you won’t be able to afford it, and then one, two, three…… As it increases, the territory decreases and the power decreases exponentially.
Damn, this is a total mess.
“How long will it be…”
I broadened my senses and tried to grasp the Demon Continent. First of all, the size is roughly a little smaller than the continent over there, but there are several islands… Huh?
No, wait a minute.
“Why is the ground flat?”
“Yes? Is the land originally flat?”
The demon realm is not a star. It was just a huge expanse of land.
As proof, the demonic realm that stung my spirits was not a spherical star, but a flat land with a precipice.
No, if Zion hears it, he’ll get angry and destroy it, saying it’s a pseudo-scientific world like the theory of flat earth!!!!!
