035. with overwhelming power (3)

Certainly, it must have been quite a while since I left my motherhood and wandered about.

Quite a few things have changed between Kangho’s world in my memory and Kangho’s world in front of me now.

First of all, the biggest change is that the continent across the sea, where the base of the demons was once established to attack this area, has now become a colony of legions. And the vast plain, where a great fight had taken place over the front yard in the past, had been transformed into a golden granary.

Before I left this place, I gave an order to the remaining legion queens to ‘protect the humans’, and according to that order, the legion queens knew the strongmen and the adjacent colony and withdrew.

The legion queens seem to be more creative and insightful than before, having been educated after I became sole ruler.

In the past, when they served as communication tools for the rulers, they were just beings who did what they were told to do, but now they infer that if their colonies and mucous membranes are sucking in nutrients, nearby human cities will be ruined, and they have reached the level of finding a solution. will be.

As expected, smart rulers raise smart subordinates.

Anyway, I just came out of the newly built restaurant and was eating dumplings full of warm gravy.

As an aside, even though the dumplings here aren’t that stimulating, they are really delicious for my taste. I don’t know if it’s because this is the first food I’ve encountered outside of motherhood, but I feel that this taste is really special.

Shall we say that you can feel the rustic but warm taste of hometown that you can barely taste when you go down to the countryside during holidays or vacations after suffering from the busy city life?

To be honest, the taste of the chicken I tasted after returning to my hometown, Earth, was just plain chicken. I didn’t feel the thrilling taste of the previous life that was imprinted to the soul, to the extent that the chicken made by the chef who was cosplaying as a hero was much better.

For that reason, this dumpling restaurant in Gangho’s world has become my most precious healing camp.

“… … So, what do you want to say to the guest who left and returned after refusing the seat of the emperor? Are you proud of yourself? Or is it a compliment to dumplings? You didn’t come all the way back here to talk about that, did you?”

When the dumpling lady, who had been listening to my epic poem for a long time, tilted her head and asked, I hurriedly swallowed the juices in my mouth and brought up the business.

“Oh, not like that. Before going to war with those bastards, let’s strengthen our alliance.”

[Kangho’s manager looks at you.]

To my surprise, Mrs. Mandu became the new manager of this world.

I wasn’t sure who the manager was and what the selection criteria were based on, but I couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Allies?”

“Yes, I have my legion here too, but this war will be much easier if strong people come forward.”

I picked up another dumpling and continued talking.

“Well, if you give it to me, we can launch a surprise attack right now.”

Although the population of Gangho is very small, they are very strong because they have a tradition of striving for training for a long time.

In addition, the various skills these people possessed, that is, those skills that people here call walking or stealth, were no different from a kind of special move that could cause fatal damage to high-ranking demons.

These are special assassins who surpass Kang Jin-hyeok.

“A surprise attack now?”

“Yes, I think now is just the right time.”

Originally, my purpose was to stop by Gangho, meet the new manager, seek cooperation, eat some dumplings, cool down, and return to Nemesis.

However, when I looked at the dimensional map as I came to Gangho, I could see that the [Demon Castle] that had come to attack the mother castle was still in the same place as the old mother castle.

Since the attack on the mother castle has failed, [Demon Castle] has nothing to do here. But still there, I could very easily guess that the bombs of the strange creatures I threw had exploded quite right.

They will be busy dealing with the situation.

If my predictions were correct, it meant that there was a very good opportunity to give them another sweet taffy.

“… … I summon my apostles.”

“You did well.”

From here, the [Demon King] was not too far away, which could be reached in a few days by squeezing out Maria. Since it was the closest to motherhood in the first place, wouldn’t it be the first other dimension I went to?

“good. Let’s go punish the demons.”

When Kang Ho’s new manager summoned his few but powerful apostles, a huge whale appeared in the sky just in time.

* * *

“Devil.”

The moment the [gate] out of the fortress opened, the Archduke summoned the Demon King to stop him.

“I will defend this fortress no matter what, so please come back safely. So, when a crisis strikes, do not hold back your authority.”

The Demon King looked at the Grand Duke with a resolute expression with eyes that made it difficult to guess the depth of his eyes, and then without a word, he turned his back and left the fortress.

“… … .”

He was the demon king who usually kept his expressionless expression, but now he had no choice but to frown.

As a result of opening the door here and there and looking around, the demon inhabitants who lived on this planet had already suffered a blow that was close to annihilation.

“Fucking calamity bastards.”

The flower garden that produced the lower objects was also eaten and turned into a mass of disastrous flesh, and the residents of the city also suffered the same.

The most terrifying thing about those creatures called disasters was because of this part.

“Those spiderlings were similar.”

Come to think of it, the legion of hideous spiders and this calamity, although clearly of different races, somehow had many similarities.

Absorbing all the nutrients that exist in the world, producing countless individuals with it, and controlling it with the ‘ruling entity’ has a strangely similar aspect.

“What connection is there?”

To the demon king who was looking around the ruined city, chunks of flesh with very strange shapes called ‘walking flowers of the devil world’ began to run.

These guys have very grotesque features that imitate the creatures that exist in the surrounding environment, and there are sparsely ‘Evil-shaped’ pieces of flesh mixed in between the flowers, adding to the disgust.

The demon king immediately raised his magic power, summoned the flames of hell, and began to incinerate all the disasters that attacked him.

“Dirty things.”

These guys had to be turned into ashes unconditionally so that they could not regenerate. Even if you accidentally leave only a piece of flesh, these nasty bastards can come together and form a new entity.

In the place where he passed, only burnt ashes remain. Also, the demon king was the demon king.

‘I have to defeat all the bosses before the previous demon king appears.’

Even in the midst of burning disasters, the demon king mobilized all his senses to the fullest and looked around.

Wow wow~!!!

However, something much more dangerous than those guys caught on his senses as he looked at his political opponents and the leaders of disasters.

“… … ruler?”

At that moment, the space split and a man in a red suit walked out with a fishy smile.

【Demon Lord, this time it will be different.】

Poo-!!!

The demon king tried to reply, but felt a sudden threat to his life, and quickly activated [Demonic Power].

Feeling the intense pain, he lowered his head and saw that a long needle-like thing, which he hadn’t known when it had come from, had been lodged very deeply in his chest.

The demon king felt intense anger.

[You damn bastard! You will die here today!!!]

【Devil. Is your mother well?]

As the demon king nervously pulled out the long needle stuck in his chest, he couldn’t hold back his intense anger and screamed, but what returned to him was the sneer of the legionnaire.

[die!!!]

Hell’s flames exploded in all directions due to the fierce anger of the demon king. This was a wave of flame that no one could stop, and even the ruler of the Legion had no way to block or avoid this wave.

Hellfire engulfed him.

【Struggling.】

However, the Demon King could see clearly.

Even when his whole body was melted down by the flames of hell, the ruler of the corps was still laughing viciously.

Goosebumps broke out all over the demon king.

* * *

I thanked the ‘Apostle of Dumpling Lady’ who completed the operation very successfully.

【Ah, thank you for your hard work.】

“no. Thank you for giving me a chance to avenge you, Son of Heaven.”

He is said to be the head of a group called ‘Salmak’, and he was a professional murder technician who threw memorization very artistically in addition to his excellent stealth skills that even the demon king momentarily missed his presence.

【Demon King, are you fooling me again?】

No matter how much I thought about it, the demon lord was unmistakably pure and innocent. Or maybe it’s the kind of person who looks fine on the outside but can’t control his anger properly on the inside.

Anyway, the moment the tremendous spark summoned by the Demon King attached to my body, I cut off synchronization with my human form without any regrets.

Anyway, there is no problem in discarding the body in human form as an expendable item as long as it is profitable. In the pond of culture fluid that exists inside Leviathan, even now, human bodies are being diligently taken out.

The benefits gained from abandoning one body in this way were considerable.

He was so excited that he finally used the power of the Demon God, and thanks to that, I was able to open the [gate] and enter the fortress where the turrets stopped working really safely.

After following the information given by the administrator, as soon as the Demon King used his authority, the fortress really became a can. This situation was just right for kicking the demon king in the back.

【Land spider, enter quickly.】

As soon as I gave the command to the Hive consciousness, the ground at the base of the fortress began to crack open.

Kiehek-!!!

In the last operation, I secretly set up a colony deep underground near this fortress. Thousands of spider troops created there climbed up in an instant.

After all, the bottom of the lamp is the darkest. They couldn’t have imagined that there would be a hive of Legion under their butts like this.

The success of the secretly colony operation is always thrilling.

【Destroy all turrets.】

As the spiders, who received my order, began to attack in earnest, the turrets of the demonic capital’s fortress were reworked into useless blocks of stone.

Of course, the fort was so ignorantly large that only a handful of turrets could be destroyed by a small number of spiders.

[The ruler of the legion!!!]

I was in the midst of such a sabotage operation.

The one who guarded the fortress instead of the demon king, that is, according to the manager, a high-ranking demon who was usually ranked second in the hierarchy appeared. He spewed out a tremendous amount of magical power comparable to that of the Demon King and ran towards me, burning the spiders everywhere.

[How dare you say this place!]

However, saying that he is no less than the Demon King means that he is not stronger than the Demon King. It was also the sound of being hit by a [Blade of Lightning].

【Search. Lightning strike.]

I gave that high-ranking demon a [Blade of Thunder], which linked the main body’s mental power to maximum output while consuming one incarnation.

Flash!

Kwaaang-!!!

The psionic energy emitted by the mighty mental power of the Hive Mind created a feast of splendid beams of light that filled the inside of the fortress.

Um, did you get it?
