Chapter 704 – [A Journey to the Demon World]

After resting for a while at the Devil Castle, I was going to leave for Le Peshu Manor, but a guest came.

No, there were often guys who came to visit me personally and tried to oil me for the demolition of the delusion site in the Bores estate, but it wasn’t such a harsh and repulsive guest, but a different kind of guest.

“To demolish one of the most problematic delusions in the Pandemonium in less than a month.

“Well, it’s similar.”

This is Bishop Ruth Horntail, whom I first met when I crossed over to the Demon Realm with [Right Leg of the Whole Body].

Come to think of it, Korma said that this person is the current leader of the moderate wing of the Black Church. Thinking about that and looking at it again, my personality is pretty good even with my ability to see.

Demons aren’t just warlike kids. Sometimes there are people like this.

“The reason I came here today is to convey to Your Highness the words the predecessor left behind.”

“……The predecessor of black?”

“Yes, but first I have to tell you about the current situation of the Black Church… How much do you know?”

“About that you are the head of the moderate faction and the current pope is the head of the radical faction. I don’t know the details.”

“I’m glad you know the most important thing”

However, let’s not say that the power of the moderate faction is small.

As if the pope wasn’t the pope for nothing, as the black church led by him, I could see that they would be quite aggressive. Fortunately, the priests who can use the [Right leg of the whole body], Which is the only way to cross over to the continent, belong to them, but the full-scale invasion of the continent has not yet been made.

Is it preparation, or is it for some other purpose… I’ve never met the pope, so I’m not sure. I should have met you sometime.

“We, the Moderate Priests, are a faction formed by those who directly received an oracle about Your Highness. There were demons like that in the church before, but the current pope is a radical, so we couldn’t reveal it openly.”

“I’ve been hearing a lot about that.”

“Yes, but even so, the Pope doesn’t seem to be very pleased with the oracle given by the telegraph.

In fact, if developed well, the demon realm is a good land in its own way. But trying to eat the continent raw without even thinking about developing it is like something.

I’ll be preparing for war anyway, so it’d be much better to invest the funds for the demolition of the delusion.

“I don’t know what happened before, but in the decades since the first oracle was issued, we’ve noticed something odd about the pope’s attitude.

“No, the Pope?”

“Yes, the pope, who should have been closer to God than anyone else, did not receive an oracle. That alone is a fact that should leave the papacy.”

I wouldn’t know if the oracle had been given to only one promising priest.

However, even if it was small, many people were entrusted with enough to form a faction, but the pope did not receive it? This meant only one thing.

The predecessor of black abandoned the current pope.

“But even so, I don’t know the sincerity of the predecessor leaving the Pope alone…”

“It’s not that I don’t, it’s that I can’t. I’ve met the gray god before and heard about it, but the three great gods can’t directly intervene with us.”

“Ah!!!! Then the whole body too!!!”

The White Goddess also used her power indirectly through the Pope of the White Temple, but it was safe to say that there was no way for the Three Great Gods to use their power on the ground other than that expedient.

It was probably a restriction set by the person White called his father. And if there is one exception, it is Sandman.

Children of the same father, but only Zantman is a trickster who causes trouble according to the father’s intentions.

“But even so, the question arises. Why did he not excommunicate us from the pope when he can give an oracle?”

“I’ve never met him, so I’ve only heard rumors, but do you think that pope will come down from his seat just because an oracle came down?”

“……Not at all”

“At best, it’s a civil war in the Black Church.”

Let’s think simply.

Gray was neither cooperative nor hostile to Jantmanhehelped the first king of a kingdom, but it can be seen as neutral because it had a positive result called a slave revolution.

White had a cooperative relationship with Jantman. I don’t know who has the upper hand, but the hundreds of pieces of Zantman possessed by the Holy Knights of the White Church proved that.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be thought that Black… Is hostile to Zantman?

That is why he would have deliberately given me an oracle rather than excommunication from the pope. If he really wanted trouble, he would have issued an oracle called the excommunication of the pope.

Besides, gray said it was okay to trust black. At that time, the target Gray was talking about was me, and I was hostile to Zantman. It’s not for nothing that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, so I was able to infer that.

“By the way, I heard that there is a message left by the black predecessor, what is it?”

“Not too long ago, the telegraph gave me an oracle. This oracle was only given to me and not to other priests, so… I had no choice but to come myself.”

The oracle given by the black predecessor is as follows.

[I’ll look at it after I’m done. I’ll be waiting for you on the moon]

……. No, the moon?

Ordinarily, if it were just the moon, you might need a rocket, but it’s different here. The Pandemonium is not an ordinary star, but more like a miniature garden in a sphere.

“The oracle is inherently ambiguous and twisted, so it’s difficult to solve it. I think this compares the moon to something…”

“It’s not that, it’s probably the real moon.”

“Yes?”

“Anyway, I heard the oracle well. I think you know what I have to do, so I’ll have to finish it and go.”

The fact that the demon lord was friendly, thathehelped me by dividing factions despite the division of the Black Church, it was all thanks to the oracle of the predecessor of the black color.

If so, I’m willing to pay the price for that. In the first place, I am a person who does not eat free meals even though I will receive service.

I have two things to do.

To demolish all delusions of the demon realm.

And bringing down the current Pope of the Black Church.

I had intended to do it from the beginning, but a clear goal was set.

*        *    *

The world of demons is a delusion, but if you can demolish it, you can live in abundance. It’s not as good as the continent, but Makai has excellent human resources.

For example, Mongma. No matter how bad it is, dreamers awaken a self-fantasy when they become adults. Humans get only a handful of self-fantasy out of that many, but they only get it when they grow up.

What should I say? Resources are a little low, but it can be seen as a place where human resources of the level of genius or genius are all over the place.

However, the population is small. Life expectancy is long, so there are things that are inversely proportional to it, but there are also things like that because there are few places to live.

When society stabilizes, people take care of having children. If you can afford it, you meet a woman, and then you get married, and marriage leads to pregnancy.

High-ranking people who don’t know that are all crazy, but anyway, the most important thing is social stabilization. To do so, demolition of the delusion site is essential.

“To bring down the Pope of the Black Church… It must be a very difficult task.”

“You can assassinate it if you want. Oh, that would be the easiest.”

Personally, I don’t like assassination, but I do when I have to. In the 1st playthrough, I acted as a hit man for a while, so if you deny that job, the only thing you can do is spit in my face.

Now, without much effort, you can assassinate opponents by disguising them as natural deaths. Organisms are inherently weak, and will die if only a few blood vessels to the heart are blocked.

But the important thing is that I have to meet him.

It may be that a guy who can pick and kill only one civilization’s intelligence can’t assassinate a guy he’s never met, but it might be difficult to make a nuclear bomb, or a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence smart missile that identifies and kills a target through its appearance. Would you?

Anyway, if you want to kill someone you’ve never met before, you just have to do it extensively. In other words, you should have a chance to meet in person…

“If that’s the case, there’s an event you can guess.”

“Event?”

“It’s a sacrifice to the whole body… I’ve attended it before. I’ve eaten chocolate chips there too.”

“Oh right”

Come to think of it, Korma already knew the taste of cacao. And in the Pandemonium, the entire amount was being bought by the Black Church.

I wonder how Korma, who is not affiliated with it, ate it, but it seems that he ate it at various events as he became a direct descendant.

“It’s an event held every few years, but it’s an event led by the pope. You’ll probably be able to meet the pope there.”

“By the way, I don’t know about the hostile Bishop of Luce, but it’s a little surprising that you call the Pope without honorifics.”

“What should I say… You’ll understand when you see it. Why is it called that way?”

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think the Pope is a normal guy. Maybe it was the breath of Jantman.

Civil War of the Black Church, or Continental Invasion War. Either way, it’s something that should be welcomed by Sandman.

“Thinking about meeting you then… Is the regular distribution going well?”

“Yes, I can see the people on Mongma Street laughing these days.”

I did that in the Mars civilization, but there are people who just want to do nothing and play and eat because everything is guaranteed. Of course, I had to do the minimum amount of labor because I was collecting taxes.

However, the welfare I was trying to provide here was to guarantee food, clothing, and shelter. Because to the dreamer, that’s what spirit is.

Even if you don’t have regularity, you can survive with food. But on the contrary, if you have regularity, it is okay not to eat. Even if you eat, you can really eat as little as possible, so the activities of the dreamers change.

“If you don’t mind, would you like to visit? I’m still giving out regular spirits… Besides, thanks to the rumors going around these days, Your Highness will be very happy if you go.”

“Hmm, let’s go then”

I don’t know if it’s before you get famous, but after you get famous, if you go to a place with a lot of people, there will be a problem. But sometimes you have to go directly to such a site to get people’s support.

That is the reason why members of the National Assembly, who are usually difficult to see, publicize in election vehicles during election season.

Originally, I don’t like this kind of pretense, but since I have to create a force to support Korma, it’s good to do it even if I don’t want to.

“First of all, I have to give a show-off speech, so should I prepare?”

It’s a bit awkward because I have to wear a suit to go out.

Anyway, I left the castle and headed to Mongma Street again. You can see the smiles on the faces of the people you see as you pass by.

If you are so happy about the news that the water price has become cheap, how much more will you be happy in the future.

“Ah, Korma-sama… Huh?! Who’s next to me?!”

“It’s the 3rd prince who said he came from the continent!!!!”

In the meantime, Korma’s name was also known, and there were people who recognized Korma. In fact, of course, there are dozens of people who are not even twins walking around, but if you don’t recognize them, they are two-headed.

Upon arriving at the orphanage run by Ethel, it is noticeable that it has undergone quite a bit of expansion work, unlike before.

“What, why did you remodel it in a month? It looks like the orphanage has also increased. How did you do it?”

“Among the dreamers, there was a person who had that type of self-fantasy. Instead of giving him regular energy, he asked for an extension of the orphanage.”

“I have good skills, but my speed is no joke.”

Building a non-prefabricated, multi-story wooden building within a month is not enough with the technology of this era. However, it seems that he covered his lack of technical skills with self-fantasy.

“That’s him! The third prince of the empire who loves Korma!”

“Oh my God, they say they are the strongest among humans, but how strong is their energy?!”

“I want to be favored too…”

Most of them were dream horses, so there were some harsh words mixed in. But it’s not at the level you’re going to be arguing with. If it’s just sex drips, that’s fine.

Anyway, I put a lot of dream demons in front of me. I’m going to give an appropriate speech here to raise Korma’s approval rating.

My approval rating will later become Korma’s approval rating. The fact that she is the wife of the savior who saved the Demon World will be able to gain great support when Korma becomes the Demon King.

“I recently demolished [The Predatory Queen’s Nest], A delusional place in the Bores clan’s territory!!! As a result, more food will be produced and prices will drop!!!”

“It’s all thanks to the Third Prince!!!”

“I’ve only been happy since Your Highness came!!! Thank you so much!!!!”

There is no wind catcher, but it is a cheer that comes from the heart. It’s a bit awkward because I’m not used to being supported.

No, because I am the Great Demon King, all the guys who have achieved society are wary and afraid, but who is in awe?

“I will demolish all delusions of the demon realm! So I will make a better demon realm for you guys to live in!!!!”

“Waaaaa!!!!!”

“You can’t be sure with just one delusion. I’m not a liar who only talks slickly! I’ll slowly show you the proof!!! My next destination is the [Vampire Garden] In the Retpeshu Clan Territory!!!”

“Le, Le Peshu Territory?! If [Vampire Garden] Disappears, we can go back to our hometown!!!!”

When I looked closely between the nightmares, there was a vampire. I wonder why it exists, but I wonder if it’s because I came to get regularity for a reason similar to that of a dreamer.

Oh, it’s such a delusion that there are refugees, right? Then, the effort for development will be reduced because the refugees will be collected and relocated.

“Watch!!! What am I doing!!!”

“Long live the 3rd prince! Long live!!!!!”

“Hurrah!!! Hurrah!!!!!”

Gotta go and take care of it!!!
