043. The former demon king (1)

A world where only deserts with red sand dunes exist on the desolate land of the continent.

The only city that existed here was full of rugged buildings made of bricks, not wood, and in the very center of the city was a building that at first glance looked like a church.

Of course, this building is not the kind of church building people on Earth think of it. It was because at the top of this building, instead of a cross that people often see, there was a statue of a demon god that modeled the image of a damaged high-ranking demon tribe.

The criminals who dared to destroy the statue of the Demon God fearlessly sat on the stones scattered on the sand and looked up at the sky.

“Demon King. Are you really going to go to war with the Demon God?”

“… … General.”

“It will be a tough war. There is no one who will take our side.”

“Come on, speak straight.”

These were the general and the former demon king.

Those who caused a civil war against nobles, including the current demon king and grand duke, were destroying the statues of the ‘church that worships demons’ in the territories on the periphery of the demon realm.

“Do you really think he is a demon who has been rightfully placed?”

The former demon king looked at his most loyal subordinate and asked, and the subordinate did not hide his worried expression.

“… … Regardless of the process, he is now the one who has risen to the position of demon god.”

“A demon god is, well, just one of the common dimension managers.”

“… … King.”

The former demon king muttered swear words and stomped! and spat a lot of phlegm on the floor. The former demon king did not speak, but the general who stared at him could read a very harsh sentence from the former demon king’s mouth, ‘The usurpers are playing well with each other.’

“Those who borrowed the power of foreign powers and rose to the position of manager are just cowardly usurpers, just like the demon kings of the time.”

From their mouths, the secret inner thoughts of the demonic realm, unknown to others, were popping out like popcorn.

“That bastard was someone who shouldn’t even have risen to the position of the demon king in the first place.”

The former demon king hated the alliance between the current demon king and the nobles who took his place, but he hated the great demon king who fought with the apostle of the tower in his previous generation, that is, the current demon god, beyond the level of hating, to the core of his hatred.

“He harmed the tradition of the demons from the beginning, and took away the freedom of all demons and used it as his own weapon. He does not stop here, but goes against the law and tries to destroy the world in the name of liberation.”

The former Demon King’s restoration plan was actually a stepping stone for the elimination of the Demon God from the beginning.

“… … What are you thinking? With our own strength, we can never surpass the Demon God. With the [gate] already sealed, isn’t there a good way to move the troops?”

“There is no way.”

The former demon king nervously brushed off the sand from his pants and stood up.

“General. Listen carefully. Originally, I should have been reinstated and proceeded, but now that things have turned out like this, I will proceed immediately.”

From the mouth of the previous demon king, many plans that had been thought of so far began to pour out.

He had been wandering around hiding his identity for a long time, and he had carefully planned to overthrow the demon, the object of his hatred.

“First, find statues and holy relics of demons and destroy them all to cut off the god’s supply and demand. While the operation is being carried out, all the divine power supply livestock that worship him are also organized.”

The general’s complexion turned pale as he listened to his plan.

“It is impossible with our power. Demon King, we are now in an isolated situation on the periphery. It’s barely hidden, but the moment its location is discovered, the safety of the generals is at risk. It is unreasonable to do anything conspicuous.”

The former demon king frowned upon seeing such a general.

“General, if it’s black, peel it.”

“… … .”

“I don’t even want to use the [gate] that bastard gave me. don’t worry too much i have a way Second, you must collect the artifacts left by the ancient gods. That alone can curb the power of managers. and third.”

The former Demon King suddenly smiled.

“Now we will contact the ruler of the Corps, a group that has the potential to become our friendly force.”

“… … You are the devil! He is dangerous!”

The general screamed in astonishment, but the former demon king didn’t care at all.

“The one who drank is also the one who got the help of the ancient race and got into the seat, so why can’t I call it me?”

His gaze was directed toward the far reaches of space.

* * *

[Focus on your fight. I will face the opponents you cannot overcome.]

“Oh oh! manager! manager!”

“Praise the manager brother!!”

The line left by the manager was really needlessly cool. And the performance was much cooler than the dialogue.

It’s like giving up one’s life for humanity.

Of course, the manager is eagerly eating the weird candy next to me right now.

“Jiu, hurry up and make another dragon.”

“… … No, how much effort did you put into making that thing, but to use it for a strategy like this?”

“This kind of operation?”

The manager smiled at me.

“You need the right show to lead the players.”

Ha, I don’t know why that gentleman’s smile makes me feel similar to mine. I don’t really want to look like a nobleman like that.

Anyway, the dragon, the incarnation of the administrator, was flying towards the flesh planet, emitting a tremendous light like a comet. And this scene was being broadcast live to Earth through all the high-performance observation devices that mankind could mobilize.

No, do I really need to relay this?

“For the manager!!!”

All mankind was talking like a chorus of bullshit right now, and finally, everyone knelt down and wept at the scene where the dragon, which seemed to be at the height of holiness, burst into the flesh planet.

The elderly manager, who was watching this happily, memorized a spell by snapping his fingers.

“bang.”

Flash-!!!

A tremendous flash of light exploded. The explosion of divine power caused by the administrator was enough to create the illusion of two suns appearing in the sky, not only on Nemesis but also on Earth, and the flash swallowed the hideous flesh planet whole.

“downpour-!”

After a while, the light faded, and I saw the flesh planet cut in half like an apple split by the administrator’s one-shot technique. At the same time, the enemy’s dominant entity died, and I felt the damn dominance that gave me headaches disappear.

I couldn’t help but admire it and watch it. How is it possible to unleash such ignorant power in one shot?

“Operation Tassadar. It’s successful.”

“… … Yes?”

No wait, what the hell is the status of the operation name like that game junkie? Isn’t that the name of the person who blew away the ruler of the corps coolly in a game?

… … For a moment, I imagined that such a crazy technique would fall on my hive mind body. Then, goose bumps broke out all over my body.

“… … Is the show fun?”

“yes. But I’m tired of coming. Get some sleep.”

The manager laughed helplessly and then just lay sprawled on the floor. It seems that this elderly person is a type whose fuel efficiency is not very good.

“Now, let’s start the operation. Maria, open the door.”

-I understand, my lord.

The hybrid of demons and spiders, who are always by my side, but seem to be there, seem to be absent, and have no presence at all, finally revealing their hidden presence by opening their powers.

no, i was going to

“… … yes?”

Maria was looking at her with a very puzzled look.

Originally, this guy was not allowed to express his emotions outwardly due to my order, but now his eyes clearly contained a lot of emotion called ’embarrassment’.

—… … Lord. Strange.

Knowing the circumstances, I did just that. Maria keeps whining and raising her magic power, but the really important [gate] doesn’t open at all.

―The authority has disappeared.

The eyes of the half-race demon looking at me with an expressionless expression after losing their power overnight reminded me of the eyes of a cow being led to a slaughterhouse.

―How am I now? Are you going to kill me?

“… … Hey, do I look like a homicidal maniac who kills everyone if they are useless?”

—… … .

There is an old saying that silence has a very strong positive meaning.

“… … Hey, don’t worry. I will not kill you.”

In fact, everyone who knows who I am, including Maria, is afraid of me. Even Kang Jin-hyuk and Choi Kang-han, unlike before, are very meticulous about my mood.

Unlike Han Ji-woo in my previous life, I have become a storm-like existence with nothing to fear except for a few transcendent beings. That’s why even my old colleagues have no choice but to be afraid of the power I have.

Anyway, how far has my external image fallen? Is there anywhere else to fall?

I am a good and generous ruler. The target of my anger is only limited to the bastards of the demon tribe and ugly bastards like this fucking alien.

“Hey, go and help Kang Jin-hyeok cook.”

In any case, Maria, a grateful being who allowed us to steal the power of the demon god called [Gate], is now completely useless.

It seems that the demon god did something wrong, but I felt a deep regret that I should have squeezed out Maria a little more before it happened.

【Leviathan!】

It’s been a while since I’ve had to move on a whale.

* * *

Those bloody hideous bodies of flesh also had incredible regenerative power. After a very short time, the large pieces began to come together again.

they are really terrible Maybe they’re the ones who, given enough time, will be able to resurrect the troublesome entity with its powerful dominance once again.

It’s hard to give time to these pups.

【End it.】

When I gave the order, the giant power creatures began pouring out Nemesis’ spider army that each person carried in their bodies.

A myriad of jellyfish and spiders clinging to them poured over the flesh, and they immediately began to chew and eat this disgusting flesh.

‘It’s been a while since the main body.’

When I looked up with the eyes of the incarnated body, my body, which had become so huge that it was difficult to see at a glance after shedding, filled the inside of the whale very tightly.

Seeing this gives me a new feeling.

I’ve been staying in sync with the human body lately by staying in the building of Nemesis, so it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the main body inside the whale.

Even recently, the link was not maintained well, so the main body felt quite unfamiliar.

When the human body, which has clear limits to accept mental power, was laid on the floor and the link was completely cut off, a really deep and powerful force that cannot be felt by the human body felt like a waterfall and awakened my spirit very hotly.

‘It definitely got stronger.’

In the old days of motherhood, I could only dominate the range of one continent, but now I could feel the colony consciousness created by the recon jellyfish far above the earth.

Likewise, I could very well feel the dirty gaze of some high-ranking demon tribe watching me.

【What kind of bastards are they.】

When the senses were spread out as much as possible, the jellyfish wandering around the space saw a very small flying object flying in from afar.

[The ruler of the corps, I am the former demon king. I have something to tell you.]

I made up my mind to immediately send a swarm of wasps and jellyfish to destroy the high-ranking demons, but after hearing the voices that followed, I had to put my decision on hold.

[I want to tell you and the manager of the earth ‘how to neutralize the demon’.]
