068. end of disaster (1)

In order to engage in a full-scale war with the fate of the tribe at stake, it would be a matter of course that, above all else, a strong back should be the top priority.

[Demon King] was preparing for a battle with the earth administrators who were hostile to them and the unknown army that was actively cooperating with them, and because of this, they made the decision to invest considerable energy in order to first deal with the remaining disasters as an uneasy factor in the rear. got off

But the plan ended in complete failure.

It was a situation that no one expected that the battleship of the apostle of the day would suddenly appear at the base of the disaster and attack first.

Of course, the power possessed by the apostle and the traitors attached to him was never enough to threaten the safety of [Demon King Castle]. However, the Demon God had no choice but to be anxious because there was a precedent.

‘They’ve already secured the means to destroy the immortal authority. I still don’t have the proper means to fight that monster.’

The apostles and the demon lords of the former war era weren’t that threatening, but it was difficult when the legions of damn spiders intervened here.

‘I created a monster with the power of the holy object.’

It is already a situation where the demon king of the previous generation was caught in vain, having his authority destroyed by the monsters.

In a situation where his authority, which he believed in, was neutralized, the Demon God had no choice but to feel a terrible sense of helplessness for the first time since he began to reign.

The apostles and the demon lords of the previous era were acting together with the corps, and the fact that they appeared meant that they had to face the damn monster.

In a situation where the ruler of the corps had no idea that he could not intervene right now, it was the only solution that the demon god could choose.

‘It is dangerous to wage an all-out war without countermeasures.’

It is a very risky choice to fight right now without any countermeasures against the monsters created by the legion using the power of the holy relics.

Right now, most of the high-ranking demons were gathered in the [Demon King Castle] due to the selection of the demon king and preparations for an all-out war, and if those monsters were to fall here, really terrible things would happen.

So, I’d rather cut the power before doing more damage and promise the future, there was no other option other than this.

“Demon God, why did you defeat the army?”

The new demon king made a contract with the grand duke, that is to say, asked the possessed demon god the reason for the retreat.

“Devil.”

“Tell me.”

“You have no right to ask me questions. I didn’t allow it You just have to do what you’re told to do. Got it?”

“… … I was off topic. Please forgive me.”

Unlike the previous demon kings, the newly elected demon king quickly bowed his head without asking any more questions.

Unlike the previous demon king, who clearly felt that he was swearing inside, or the previous demon king who openly opposed his orders, Lee Ja was not the type to vomit at his own words at all.

The demon god deliberately chose such a person as the demon king.

‘I don’t need anyone who opposes my orders, no matter how brilliant they are.’

The Demon God didn’t need a guy who didn’t follow his intentions and often rebelled, like the demon king of the previous generation who was captured and gone as if surrendering to the enemy, or the demon king of the previous generation who was still dragging himself by his ankles.

So, the guy who has now risen to the position of the demon king is weak enough to be said to be the worst ever in terms of personal strength, but he chose it without hesitation because he listens to himself very well.

“Do not go against my will.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

The Demon God gazed at his subordinate, who was full of loyalty, and smiled with benevolence and satisfaction at the same time.

“It can’t be helped that things went wrong. Go and rest.”

“Thank you, demon.”

He bowed his back and looked at the demon king leaving, then turned his gaze to the empty screen that only he could see.

“… … The consumption of incarnation is severe.”

The screen in front of the demon’s eyes was the ‘administrator’s exclusive system’, and this system, which was used by successive demons from generation to generation, had fraudulent technology that allowed large amounts of points to be paid and large-scale dimension movement.

Since the Demon God has burned the lives of countless civilizations conquered by the Demon World and delivered them as points, theoretically, this technology could be used almost infinitely.

Of course, theory and practice are always different.

“grandee… … Your body doesn’t have much left.”

When using this technique, since the enormous amount of mana had to be instantly absorbed into the body, unless the natural body was of the level of a demon king, it was inevitable to take a serious load.

“Is it time to find a new body… … .”

The archduke’s body, which the Demon God is currently using under a contract, was basically the strongest among the high-ranking demons, but there is a reason why he was a grand duke in his later years.

The old grand duke’s body was never of the level of a demon king. In addition, the other day, he purified the [Demon King Castle] with his own authority, and went on a direct operation, but rather suffered a counterattack, and his physical condition itself was now at its limit.

“Even if I make a contract with another guy, he will die again soon… … .”

Of course, there was no high-ranking demon with a body that would please him. The ones with the most coveted body were the demon kings who had escaped or the demon kings who rebelled against themselves, and these guys had no reason to sign a contract in the first place.

At least, he signed a contract because the Grand Duke was friendly to him and was able to withstand his great skills, but the problem was that there was no one stronger than the Grand Duke in the demon world.

“… … Five?”

While thinking about what to do with the body of the Grand Duke, whose lifespan was about to expire, the Demon God accidentally found something in the system window.

“… … Made to order?”

In the general manager’s system, there was a specialized dimensional workshop where materials were collected and items were made. And this workshop, although the version used by general administrators was slightly different, anyway, it also existed in the demon god’s system.

“great.”

The Demon God, who was looking around the system, thought of ordering and using a new body that he would use instead of making a contract with a weak incarnation that could not accept all of his power.

When the Demon God hurriedly contacted the workshop, a reply arrived with the necessary materials and detailed information about the ability of the body to be produced.

“I like it.”

The Demon God read the information sent from the workshop and smiled with satisfaction. The object that the dimensional workshop offered to make was a large and powerful body that could ‘handle both its own powers and the manager’s system technology’.

“At this level… … It’s not enough, it’s too much.”

It was calculated that if a new body was created that could use its original power as it is, it would be enough for an all-out war.

“Let’s try to gather the ingredients.”

Most of the materials needed to make the body in the workshop were easily obtainable with points, so the Demon God quickly used his hands to buy materials from here and there, and sent them right away.

Astronomical points were consumed because the price range of the necessary ingredients was not easy, but the point was that there were surplus demons anyway.

However, his graceful hand movements, which had nothing to do with roughness, soon stopped.

“What is this?”

The problem was the last material on the list, which was emphasized as a key material in the dimensional workshop. This was that no matter how much I looked for all the systems related to the demon world, the sale itself was nowhere to be seen.

“… … Take out the fallen dragon’s heart and send it to me?”

The Demon God tilted her head.

“A dragon? Have they already been extinct for a long time? Where the hell did you get that from?”

Perhaps knowing that he would be puzzled by the materials he had no way to obtain, an additional message came from the studio.

「Great demon, there are dragons. I will tell you the location.”

After a while, ‘really strange coordinates’ flew to the Demon God.

He stared at these strange coordinates and thought for a moment, then spoke to himself.

“… … Is it time to take a bet?”

* * *

A gigantic tunnel through the dimension opened, and while Leviathan flew happily through this tunnel, the administrator next to me muttered in a bitter voice.

“Han Ji-woo, why are you so strong?”

“why?”

“… … To be able to move through dimensions like this without divine power or points… … .”

I shrugged at him. It seems that the old man was a bit confused when he saw me freely using such a large-scale dimension-shifting power that he couldn’t even save and use.

The manager has a strong ego and is the type who hates losing to anyone. However, since I showed my ability to surpass the manager, it was obvious that I would reprimand myself.

“I was lucky.”

“… … .”

“This is all thanks to you. I prepared some chocolate, would you like some?”

“Hmmmm… … .”

Of course, the elderly are much simpler than the world thinks, so it is better to be a little older, soothe, and lift them up. Besides, I was able to get the pond in the beginning because of the manager’s help, so it’s right to give him some credit in moderation.

Because I still have a lot to get from the manager.

“Don’t eat chocolate.”

Originally, social life is the most powerful means of material temptation at the same time as proper flattery. So, in my personal space, I always piled up chocolates with mysterious flavors that I wouldn’t even eat.

This chocolate is almost a sedative for that old man.

“Thanks to the elders, I gained great strength. thank you.”

“… … Are you that good?”

“Sure.”

As I worked so hard to ease the manager’s mood, a woman who had joined the group quietly listened and then asked me a question with her eyes shining.

“I… … What was there?”

“Oh, that pond?”

The very thing I had in my hands, the beginning of the pond, was really a treasure trove.

The pond was inhabited by worms with very primitive structures that were strange to how they could use their hive mind without a proper brain. To my surprise, the first corps were those primitive worms.

By examining the information they had, I was able to determine the origin of this corps with great certainty.

“The worms had the ability to burrow into the bodies of any animal they saw around them and, through their hive consciousness, completely control the species at will. It’s like Yeongasi, which controls insects at will.”

“… … .”

The beginning of the corps I figured out was a parasitic animal. Upon hearing my words, Kim Mi-young’s expression hardened.

“Then, it seems that they used the brains of higher creatures to increase their intelligence, and then created the first dominant entities.”

“… … okay?”

It was the ‘will of the legion’ that existed in the motherland that the primordial bugs of this legion entered into spider-type insects for some reason, and similarly, entering those who were only made of flesh developed into a disaster.

“I took samples and tested them, and they immediately started invading and manipulating the new entity. So it’s very likely that the Balaur were primitive worms that parasitized lizard-like creatures.”

“… … .”

Of course, the expression of the woman who heard that the root of the corps was a parasite was not very good, and the manager said for a long time, ‘The dragon I used to know is not like this…’ … .’ He muttered for a while.

“Hey, but what about the ability to open this portal?”

To the manager’s question, I answered quietly with a smile.

“That’s it.”

The first ruler of the corps grew into a dominant entity with a huge brain through a rapid mutation while parasitizing on another animal. And this ruler used the way he realized the use of mental power to spread the corps of bugs throughout the universe.

For some unknown reason, the first ruler returned to the pond and died, and all the information the ruler left while experimenting remained intact in the primitive worm’s body.

“All sub-corps entities inherited abilities from their rulers. For example, Calamity inherited this ‘ability to open portals’ along with the ‘ability to mimic’, and the corps I lead inherited the ability called ‘Radical Mutation’ from the primordial ruler.”

In addition to this, there were various characteristics such as overwhelming regenerative power, strong mental power, and the ability to live using light.

It was the primal worms of the Legion that contained information about these abilities, and these creatures were even capable of metamorphosing into their subspecies based on that information when given a specific stimulus.

“So, the pond in the beginning was a place to contain and preserve everything in the Legion.”

Of course, now all of these abilities were swallowed by me.

“… … Can you do all of that?”

When the manager asked with her eyes wide open, I nodded.

“The Great Demon King is now behind. The owner of the first sacred object was from the Legion. Ah, first of all, we have to deal with the ruler of disaster who was aiming for this power rather than the Great Demon King.”

At that very moment, Leviathan passed through the tunnel and came out into the world that had once again entrapped me.

“First of all, let’s get hit by a physical meteor and start.”

The stones were already prepared.
