Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 276
62. The Hero and the Demon King and the Uncle and Nephew (1)
“Damn, it’s frustrating. “Anyway, is the work here finished?”
Yulgeum nodded to Deus’ question.
“For now…
“Then I’ll go.”
“You’re leaving?”
“I’ll come back and talk to you.”
“Where are you going?” Deus
left the tea party and jumped into the sky
without answering .
In just one jump, he climbed over 100 meters high and immediately created dozens of rings under his feet.
His body soared as black flames spewed out.
In an instant, it pierced through the clouds and reached the border of the stars.
Ten arks were seen lined up not far away.
And where it was headed, there was a small donut-shaped star.
Servant of the Star. It was the castle
in the sky where Nezar was staying
.
Not even an invited guest.
However, it was not something that the other party would welcome.
Deus had no worries as he entered the interior of the Star Servant.
I broke through the wall and stepped inside.
A strong wind blew through the crack in the torn wall, but only for a moment.
Something like bubbles came out and the wall was quickly restored.
The place where Deus stepped
was a large auditorium.
It was an unimaginable sight to greet Deus in a large room that seemed to be well over 50 meters long.
It was full of corpses.
Blood filled their ankles and overflowed, and the faces of the dead giants were distorted in pain.
In the middle of the corpses spread out like flower petals was the body of a giant.
The man who stuck the spear shaft in his stomach died while standing upright.
“Did you say Enkidu…?”
It was a face full of resentment.
“Disloyal cock.”
A door in one wall opened and Nezar appeared.
“Did you?”
“Why didn’t you smile as you died at my command? “He always said that it was his pleasure to follow God’s commands.”
“So you’re saying you’re not loyal? “Anyway, you’re a crazy bastard.”
“You protected the continent of Jose again. “Couldn’t you have just let it perish?”
“It doesn’t seem worth listening to, but for the sake of flow, I’ll just ask. why?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to start again? Such a lousy world. “The demons were so caught up in that little fear that they abandoned you, their king.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Like consumables that are used and thrown away. “When the seemingly more useful me appeared, the bonds and trust we had had were shattered.”
“I wasn’t particularly strong in my faith. “My subordinates are also full of disloyal bastards.”
“So I tried to help you reset it.”
“It’s a reset. “My daughter was down there too?”
“Migo is strong. “You won’t die if the rock just crushes you.”
“That’s not wrong either.”
“Do you regret it? For saving those insignificant bastards. I think you will understand. They’re all full of disloyal people. Instead of helping me with my work, they only hold me back. “If Enkidu had held on to you a little longer, I wouldn’t have been hurt like that.”
“I’m not interested in your internal affairs. “You know why I came here, right?”
Nezar looked Deus straight in the eyes.
Immediately after that, he got down on one knee and bowed his head.
“Master, please just save me.”
“How many times did you hit me in the back of the head?”
“I didn’t stab you in the back. I told you from the beginning. “I will attack you at any time if I find a weakness.”
“Is that so?”
“I already know that my master has a bad memory.”
“Hmm, I’ve become quite accustomed to the behavior of a slave
.”
“of course. Please save me. I will be your loyal servant. As you may already know, I am well-versed in Gilded Age technology. The relics left behind in the Ten Chambers are not simply relics of the past. “It is the power that can take over not only the Earth Realm, but even the world of God.”
“What is a barbell? “I heard you got it.”
“It is a machine that opens the door to the divine world.”
“Can we open it now? “I want to meet this guy named Shin.”
“Not yet. In terms of magic, it simply creates a ring of mana. Realizing magic with it will come much later.”
“I did both in one moment?”
“The master is an unexalted genius.”
“Are you really not going to stab me in the back?”
“If you are this strong, what trick can I do?”
“Then should we rewrite the contract?”
“That’s
“don’t if you don’t like it.”
“no. “I will write it.”
“Good good.”
“But I also have one condition.”
“What?”
“I want to continue research. “If you tell me to go back to you and do chores, I’d rather die.”
“Huh.”
M..
Nezar crawled towards Deus, who was hesitant.
“Please listen to just one thing. Why would I betray my master? I am a person who has always been doing research since I was born .
There is both desire and grandeur. But all of that is just boring compared to the research itself. Please leave this little space I created. If so, I will definitely achieve great things for my master.”
“for me?”
“Everything I accomplish will become Deus’s.”
“That’s a little funny. Because you know quite a few amazing technologies. Okay then, shall we rewrite the contract like that
?”
“thank you! master.”
Nezar bowed his head. When he raised his eyes again, there was a piece of parchment floating in front of him.
It was a contract with the demons. Nezar had already experienced how difficult it was to destroy it.
I could never break it before I gained enough power to kill my opponent with a single blow without them even noticing.
“Hmm, there’s no need to write a long story. Nezar serves Deus as his master. And Nezar
is a servant of the stars here for Deus?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Continuing research at Servant of the Stars. You must never break it, and if you act against the contract, the Forest of Demon World will imprison Nezar in eternal prison.”
“I will definitely keep that promise.”
“Don’t play tricks.”
“Of course!”
Immediately after that, a small wound appeared on Nezar’s finger, and blood gushed out.
Surprised, Nezar cupped his hand, but
before he knew it, the blood had engraved words on the parchment.
“Are you planning to kill this servant?”
“Don’t be so harsh.”
Deus scoffed, rolled up the parchment and put it in his own space.
“Don’t do anything too flashy and handle it quietly, okay?”
“Yes master!”
Nezar lowered his head and placed his forehead on the floor.
Deus looked down at him and summoned a black bead and entered it.
After he disappeared, Nezar slowly raised his head.
“This humiliation! It’s Amitis! “How can I endure this humiliation!”
“I salute your Majesty.”
Queen Amitis appeared and bowed in midair.
Her flowing dress spread gently like butterfly wings.
“By bending once, my lord, you have everything.”
“It might be better to die!”
“Han Xin once
crawled between the knees of his enemies, but he became the enemy of a great empire.”
Hearing her soft voice, Nezar pounded his chest.
“I became a slave again. Why does someone like him exist in this world? “Why should I worry about him when I am not even afraid of the archangels?”
“Don’t you already know the answer, King?”
“I already know the answer.” Nezar hovered in his seat.
One lap, two laps.
By the time we went around seven times, we had come up with 43 different strategies.
I didn’t like any of them. Then he finally smiled.
“I see!”
“I salute you.”
“Yes. This is something to celebrate! Amitas!”
“Yes majesty.”
“Make Adapa. Seduce humans and open the way for them to become Adapa themselves.”
“We have already taken action.”
“Slaves
would rather betray humanity than live in misery.”
“Among the slaves, we will select those whose brain level is above a certain level and turn them into Adapa.”
“Complete Gilgamesh.”
“We will do our best to avoid any disruption.”
“From now on, I will build the Tower of Babel.”
“Socheop is always amazed by the great king’s excellent insight.”
Nezar laughed.
“Babel originally means chaos. I will make my master stronger. “The more this happens, the more confused this world will become!”
The Demon World was not without damage.
About 4% of the territory was laid out on the Joseon continent.
About half of the enclave in charge of the border was destroyed, and the mugwort monsters freely crossed over.
Some of the fragments dropped by the Joseon Continent when it crashed were so large that they crushed the entire city.
However, there was someone who took the lead in all the chaos and prevented it.
Queen Migo.
He appointed seven dukes to calm the chaos, organized a strong army, and dispatched it to the northern border.
The dust raised by the Jose Continent falling to the ground covered the Demon World for a whole week.
Cursing the humans, the demons stared at the cloudy sky.
But it wasn’t long before they realized what kind of miracle had happened to them.
The sun, which had been red because of the dust, gradually became brighter and took on a vivid yellow-white color.
All the oppressive ocher-colored clouds cleared, revealing a clear sky.
Every time a white cloud passed by, I would inevitably hum.
Of course, not everything was good.
Even though it was bright, it was too bright.
Most creatures who had already adapted to the darkness of the demon world for 666 centuries felt quite confused by the suddenly revealed window.
The Demon King and the Seven Dukes quickly put a cover over the Demon World.
A little darkness was mixed into the transparent enclave that originally protected the entire Demon World.
With just that little measure, all side effects seemed to have disappeared.
All that remains is the blessing of the sun.
The demons attributed the miracle that came like a thief to the new queen, Migo.
On the other hand, for humans, the current situation was like hell.
10% of the entire city was destroyed without a trace.
Even though he survived, he wasn’t completely unharmed.
The number of people who died was numerous, and many people were still unable to escape the fear of the earthquake.
Of course, it was no exaggeration to say that there was no damage, considering it fell from an altitude of about 10 kilometers.
If it weren’t for the efforts of Deus, Zeke Kamael, and Yulgeum, it would have been faster to count the number of surviving humans.
But there was no way I knew that.
All that remains is that a huge earthquake has hit the world.
Aftershocks continued.
It wasn’t a very strong earthquake, but the fact that the ground was shaking scared people.
Only after three days had passed did the Seonghwangcheong investigation team depart for the former Joseon continent.
Each kingdom also sent people to try to figure out what had happened.
However, all the government roads were destroyed, so it was not easy for goods to come and go.
After 15 days, the knights who had been dispatched one by one returned to the capital.
The information gathered was only absurd.
The sea has disappeared, the river has disappeared.
All of the perpetual snow at the top of the Horsespine Mountains melted, creating new rivers and valleys, and the volcano, which had been spewing out white smoke just a few days ago, collapsed without a trace.
