036. with overwhelming power (4)

The Grand Duke, second in the Demon Realm, knew that the golden lightning that was embroidering all over the place was very dangerous.

‘You have to avoid… … !!!’

He had already watched the generals fall out of the lightning.

Although the Grand Duke is the second strongest person next to the Demon King, he knew very well that he would never recover if he was beaten that way.

Pajijijik-!!!

While his hair stood on end, he felt a tremendous presence surrounding him, and just that alone made his mind itself shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

The Archduke was, in his own way, the elite of the Pandemonium, so judging from the precursory symptoms of this [Lightning], I could fully guess what would happen if I was hit by it.

‘It’s a mind-destroying technique… … !’

Judging from the overwhelming presence of the ruler of the corps, this was a skill no matter how much mana he was born with, he could not match. In order to survive even after being hit by this technique, ‘power of demons’ is absolutely necessary.

‘You’re a drinker.’

The Archduke had the feeling that his time was passing very slowly. In front of his eyes, countless experiences he had while living as a high-ranking demon were emerging.

The streaks of lightning that stretched out were truly beautiful. It looked like a celestial flower trying to decorate the grand duke’s death.

It was already too late to avoid the thunderbolt.

The Archduke squeezed out all his mana and drew out the flames of hell, but was this fire the kind that could block lightning?

Die.

If you’re lucky, your mind will be less fragmented, and you’ll suffer serious injuries and suffer from the aftereffects for the rest of your life.

‘Demon God, give me strength.’

In order to live now, he had no choice but to earnestly pray to him, who is called the ‘father of all demons’.

Dig-!

A bolt of lightning was about to pierce the archduke’s head.

Did they say that if you earnestly wish for it, the energy of the universe gathers to help you? The scenery around the Grand Duke began to change naturally, like a canvas smeared with water.

‘This place… … .’

What the Archduke witnessed was a dark sky devoid of even a single star and a place where mountains and rivers formed only flames burning in darkness.

The Archduke looked around at this ecstatic scene with astonished eyes.

This was a world like the paradise of the demons that they had only dreamed of, where countless spirit bodies of the demons pumped in the souls of the creatures they ate while alive and used them as fuel to maintain the mountains, fields, rivers, and seas of this world.

‘The place where all souls are freed from the twisted chains of reincarnation. A place where eternal rest awaits.’

A mighty will to shake the world entered his head.

[Hey.]

Right now, in front of the Grand Duke, there was a person whose whole body was made of black flames of hell that looked like a shadow at first glance.

[Will you make a contract with me?]

* * *

At first glance, the high-ranking demon tribe that just jumped out was quite unusual.

Excluding those who couldn’t feel the force at all like the demon king, I could feel the strongest magical scent among the high-ranking demons I’ve ever seen.

‘… … Have I become this strong?’

The moment the [Lightning Lightning] hit it, it completely disappeared as if it never existed.

I felt a bit strange. My main body’s mental strength hasn’t changed at all since the last growth, but it’s a bit incomprehensible that it has such power to erase high-ranking demons from the world.

This is definitely a technique of decomposing the mind, and it is not a technique that is so powerful that it disintegrates the body of a demon into atomic units with physical force.

It’s a situation worth shaking your head at.

‘I must have tasted it.’

The blow of [Rainbow] was definitely delivered properly, and above all, when I synchronized with the body of my new incarnation, I could see that the ‘copy system’ also showed a noticeable increase in achievement and experience.

I was able to relax only after checking the system.

The guy is definitely dead.

“Looks like he’ll be back soon. Maria, open the door. Let’s withdraw.”

-Yes, Master.

The demon king, who had been melting away the flesh, opened the [gate] to see if he was going to return to the fortress after noticing the situation of the robbery in the empty house.

The moment I confirmed it through the jellyfish, I headed back to Leviathan.

“Send the apostle back to Gangho, and let’s go back to Nemesis.”

I’d love to stay here and mess around a bit longer, but this fort is so damn big it’s hard to hit it all at once.

However, this level of achievement was not expected at all.

He stopped by on the way he was passing by, fucked the demon lord, and sent a high-ranking demon to heaven, causing minor but minor damage to the fortress. On the contrary, they accomplished three things at the same time that would be difficult to accomplish even if they were determined and proceeded.

In addition, those unidentified creatures I planted are still cultivating mugwort in abundance in [Demon King].

As long as the center of their command system is like this and the guy who is assumed to be the right hand of the demon king is dead, they won’t be able to actively go to war for the time being.

Apparently, the energy of the universe is helping me in this life.

“Let’s go back.”

It was when the Leviathan took flight vigorously while I was so satisfied with my achievements and ordered periodic raids on the legion queens I had hidden underground.

Flash-!!!

“… … yes?”

On the surface of the [Demon King], black flames unique to demons rose like a tidal wave and began to spread in all directions.

“Crazy, what is that?”

It didn’t take long for the dark flames to burn the entire planet. To be honest, it was such a tremendous power that I couldn’t help but admire it even while watching it.

“Wow, come.”

As black flames engulfed the planet, the bizarre hive consciousness of the unknown flesh corps was no longer audible. Likewise, the sound from the colony I had hidden underground for the operation was completely cut off.

The legion queen, the jellyfish, and the flesh were all equally melted.

“I know how you feel when the Overmind sees the protoss.”

The [Demon King] has been purified with the flames of hell.

It was a truly overwhelming force.

I already felt it while dealing with the demon king and the guy who could be seen as the right hand of his bastard.

“… … It’s the devil’s work.”

The final boss of Darkness revealed his power very openly.

* * *

While I was concentrating on this and that while sitting in a chair with my eyes closed after being shut up in my room for several days, Kang Jin-hyeok brought something to eat and came in.

“Jiwoo. Today, I made some steamed chicken over rice.”

“Leave it there.”

“… … Eat before it gets cold.”

When I slightly opened my eyes, I saw Kang Jin-hyeok carefully setting down the plate and walking out of the room and bumping into the other party.

Garam Lee said with his mouth, ‘Are you still serious?’ Kang Jin-hyeok nodded. The other two sighed deeply and left quietly.

The mouth-watering aroma and warm bowl of rice tempting me, but I remained in my seat. It’s not a situation where rice goes well right now.

“… … Fuck.”

I thought the operation had been completed successfully, but after being hit in the back of the head very hard, I returned to Nemesis, and I became so nervous that no one around me tried to approach me.

“How do I deal with the demon’s flame?”

I’m not happy at all even though the item I ordered is about to come out. Was a preemptive strike really possible in this situation?

“Ha, I’m going crazy, really.”

Even if I mobilize the capabilities of the main body of the Hive Mind to the fullest, I can’t come up with a way to deal with the damn demon’s planetary purification flame. A single sighting is not enough information for analysis.

No matter how much I can use my intuition close to foreknowledge, I can’t even analyze the information of a demon god who is a different level opponent because I can’t predict it at all.

Really, like the black color of the damn flame, I can’t see even the smallest clue even if I look into it again and again with all my arithmetic functions.

The situation I had to consider didn’t stop at the power alone, but spread like one wave after another.

Can a demon god use such insane authority without any restrictions? Maybe there is a limit on the number of uses or time?

Administrators originally said that there was a principle of not interfering severely with their world, but how the hell did he do that?

In the current situation, can we execute a pre-emptive strike operation without knowing the hidden power of the enemy?

Will I be able to stop an attack like that if it lands on Nemesis or Earth?

“Hey, what are you so serious about?”

I felt someone tap my shoulder and turned my head. There, instead of the pressurization suit used in Nemesis, a man wearing shorts, a loose tee, and slippers was mercilessly munching on my steamed chicken rice bowl.

“If you have any questions, you should ask your brother. Why are you struggling all alone? please get some sleep my friend I’m also noticing here and there, so it’s hard for me to move directly like this. Wow, but Kang Jin-hyeok is good at cooking, isn’t he?”

“… … .”

was the manager

“… … yes?”

Why is my brother out there?

“Hey, call the kids too. And let’s eat and talk. my brother is hungry It’s not even a dream here, so I’m really hungry.”

After a while, I was staring blankly at the man who now asked Kang Jin-hyeok to make more steamed chicken rice bowls. All of my co-workers who entered my room were also gulping their saliva as they watched this man.

Yes.

I’ve always seen it in my dreams, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in real life.

“Wow, Jinhyuk. This is really delicious. Would you like to quit the player and get a job at my house?”

We just blankly watched as the manager emptied five bowls of steamed chicken rice bowls.

“Ah, you can’t use them consecutively.”

“… … Yes?”

The manager solved my troubles in just one shot.

“He has signed a ‘contract’ and is moving. It means that you created an ‘incarnation’ and are active directly, just as you are walking around in that body. The target is the demon world grand duke you failed to kill. Hey, why do you keep chanting revival spells to get rid of negativity?”

At the word resurrection spell, three other eyes fell on me.

“… … Jiwoo, have you still not fixed that habit?”

“You were always like that in your previous life, and again?”

“It’s my personal opinion, but I hope you don’t do that habit.”

… … Well.

Am I really doing something wrong?

“Well, even if I hadn’t memorized it, the drank bastard would have taken it.”

“… … Then why did the experience increase?”

“Oh that? Since the Grand Duke was taken to Hell, he was counted as dead. But did you come back to life? Check it out, my friend. The experience points would have been rolled back.”

“… … .”

As the manager said, it’s not my fault. The drank bastard was going to intervene anyway, so it didn’t matter if he cast a spell or not.

“Anyway, no matter how strong the incarnation is, it’s impossible to use such great techniques consecutively. The incarnation can’t stand the power. If it’s an incarnation of a demon king or a grand duke, it’s probably hard to use it twice a year, right?”

I let out a sigh of relief at the manager’s words. If the Demon God continued to use such formidable techniques, the possibility of winning the war in the first place would have disappeared.

“But now the war is not easy. A demon king or general can only move part of the power of the demon realm, but if it is an incarnation of a demon god, the story will be different. Jiwoo, do you understand?”

Of course, the reality was that the war was far more difficult.

“… … I can stand up with everything. It sounds like the boss suddenly changed.”

It was supposed to be a war against only a part of the Pandemonium, but the scale suddenly grew enormously.

“Besides, he is the incarnation of a demon. Of course, it wouldn’t be the power he had when he was in hell, but a part of it had descended directly into this world. Big technology is limited, but small technology is not easy.”

The manager’s words made the atmosphere very gloomy. Certainly there is no guarantee that you can win against such a monster.

Honestly, I am the strongest here. Even I can’t subdue the demon king, but even the demon god, the subject who directly grants the power, has appeared.

“So what are we going to do?”

The manager smiled at my question.

… … But something is strange His smile is very similar to mine.

“If you kill the incarnation of the dog, you will be hit very well.”

“… … Yes? No, how are you going to catch it?”

At that moment, intense sparks flew from the manager’s eyes.

“Hey, the original administrator can’t touch it directly on the world, but the bastard is involved in going back to the world using an incarnation?”

“Yes.”

“Then can I do the same?”

“… … ?!”

“Lord of the Corps, let me ask you one favor.”

From the manager’s fishy smile, a lively life began to emanate. Because of his overwhelming presence, the complexions of his former comrades instantly turned pale.

“Please make me a very strong body that can withstand my divine power.”

Overwhelming power was not possessed only by demons.

“If it’s more than I drank, it’s strong, not weak.”

It was on our side too.
