079. catastrophic (2)

As for the demons who lived in many dimensions, all of the magical powers and powers they had been given since birth were retrieved.

The immense power that lost its owner like that returned to the original demon, who originally created and empowered them to enslave them.

“You’ve grown a lot more than I thought.”

The Lord of Destruction, who had accepted all the tremendous magic that flowed back to the sacred place of the demons that had collapsed, raised the corner of his mouth.

The magic of the demons absorbed into his body was no longer in the form of black flames, but changed into hot flames reminiscent of the brimstone fire of hell, and began to dominate all directions.

“It’s quite a usable force.”

In this way, the demons have now exhausted their usefulness.

With all of their powers taken away, the race itself has now become far more ordinary than humans who have no powers and have not become players.

-A great ruin… … .

The Lord of Destruction, who was satisfied with the power gathered by the descendants of the ancient demons, faintly heard a voice praising him.

It was the last thought left by the demon god of the time, the last leader who led the tribe, which had reigned as the strongest of the dimension based on active conquest activities for a long time, to destruction in an instant.

“Good job. Get some rest now.”

―I am happy to be of assistance to your will.

In this way, the demons were originally a mixed race of demons and humans that ancient demons intentionally created, and it was the birth of a slave class that produced a wide range of powers that could be used when they returned to the world and then served them. It was the main purpose.

“However… … There is a power that refuses to come back to me.”

The Lord of Destruction, who was watching the army of hell pouring in earnest through [Hellgate], spat out words to himself with a fishy smile on his lips as if he was interested.

As he said, some of the pieces of power that the demon had accidentally lost and the power of those who refused to praise him were not returning properly.

“There were people who peeked into the future without manners. Mamon, you really did something useless.”

He saw that those who got on his nerves kept peeking into the future.

“However, what Mamon left behind is only half of an incomplete future… … .”

The glow in his red skin, his canine teeth protruding from his lips, and the horns on his forehead expressed the savage impression of the Lord of Destruction very well.

If the demons who disturbed the world in the past were half-humans who only inherited the wings of the devil in appearance, the ancient strongmen who crossed hell boasted the forceful appearance of the very pure ‘devil’ itself.

“You cannot change your destiny.”

Among them, the Lord of Destruction boasted a huge size that made me wonder if it was equivalent to the tallest building made by humans, and the heavy monologue that flowed from its huge mouth was enough to make the entire sanctuary of the collapsed Pandemonium vibrate.

“That alone will not deter me.”

Quarreureung-!!!

As the Lord of Ruin set into motion an immense force, it warped space and created great portals leading to worlds.

“It’s a little annoying.”

Originally, the demons had to lead his army to all corners of the world through [gates], but due to the slightly changed future that the demon god chose to sacrifice, the injection of troops became a job that the lord of destruction had to do.

The fact that this unplanned situation was created because of the ‘naughty guys spying on the future’ was very easily confirmed by the Lord of Destruction through the memories left in the demon’s thoughts.

“They are dirtier than you think.”

The Lord of Destruction, who carefully examined the information left by the Demon God, looked at their faces and slightly frowned.

There was a guy who turned back time and prevented his resurrection several times, and a guy who led a hideous race that made the situation annoying by frustrating demons.

He intended to deal with those who spy on the future first, who had twisted the plans he and the Demon God had made several times.

Of course, even the Lord of Destruction, who had been imprisoned for a long time, still needed to fully recover the strength of his subordinates, so his strongest power was unable to move immediately.

“Cerberus.”

purr-!!!

When the Lord of Destruction called, the ‘fire-breathing, multi-headed fierce dogs’ that had been freed from hell soon flocked to them.

The gatekeepers and hounds of hell who drive the enemy first, these guys were the weakest among the subordinates of the Lord of Destruction, but in fact, each one of them was powerful enough to be called a ‘boss who will destroy the world’ in various dimensions. was

“good. My loyal bastards.”

Through the [Hellgate] opened by the Lord of Destruction himself, the powerful gatekeepers of hell ran out like wolves in a pack.

In a place where the dogs of hell are running as a group, saying that even one appearance can destroy a world, there is a small world that is really cold and shining blue.

“… … Well?”

The Doomlord suddenly felt unwell. He had the creepy feeling that someone was secretly watching his every move.

Anyone who dared to spy on him without manners could quickly find out whose work it was.

“He’s more fun than I thought.”

Pew-!!!

A jellyfish that had sneaked in through the gates of Hell’s gatekeepers while ‘stealth’ burst out in the air.

* * *

Nemesis, who hastily returned, the atmosphere of the lively residential area before I went to the Legion’s hometown to do business was very cold.

“ruler… … Looks like something big happened… … .”

“yes. I know.”

“… … no way?”

“yes. The bastard who said it was ruin or something woke up.”

The former Demon King, his subordinates, and Stalin Castro listened to my words and put on a look of despair.

Likewise, the party of players who were idly holding the crystal of prophecy, that is to say, my former colleagues were also sitting very idly in their seats.

In particular, Kang Jin-hyeok, this guy, continued to fidget with the stones placed on the table, unable to let go of the lingering attachment to the idea of becoming a hero.

“Fuck, throw away that stupid stone.”

That stone delayed the time when the Lord of Destruction would appear and pointed us in the direction to increase our capabilities. However, as the enemy unexpectedly appeared early, the existing plan itself was now completely useless.

“Jiu, what are you thinking now?”

Everyone’s eyes fell on me at the manager’s question.

The eyes of some of those who looked at me lost their vitality like rotten dynamic eyes, and someone else’s eyes were full of sadness.

“What we had in the past was Plan A and B.”

Plan A, as I was trying to do, is to avoid fighting and move all members of the alliance to a safe world.

However, I already know very well that the Legion’s hometown, which I thought was a safe world where no one could enter without my permission, was suddenly visited by a demon using a scroll item.

No matter how hard you reinforce security once it has been breached, it will break through again someday in vain. They would be able to keep making scrolls like that if they wanted to, and this meant that, unfortunately, there was no such thing as a safe world for us in the first place.

“I will go with plan B.”

“… … Plan B? Let’s leave everything to Jinhyeok… … ?”

“no. old man.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

Originally, Plan B was for a hero play addict to step forward and see the game, and I helped the process in the back, and it looked like a very typical epic.

However, in a situation where the Lord of Destruction appeared earlier than expected, there was no way that a plan to combine the power of other races and grow into a hero himself was possible.

“I don’t want to do a job that leaves behind regrets.”

When I chose Plan A, the future shown by the pebbles was peaceful, but that peace was just an ‘imaginary peace’ that could be blown away at any time due to unexpected variables like now.

It took quite a lot of preparation to execute the large-scale migration plan, but without the time to do that, the [Hellgate] that everyone feared was already wide open. They don’t know it at all, but soon we’ll have to fight with the bastards from hell.

In the end, it was my excessive greed to want peace in a situation where I could not avoid colliding with the Lord of Ruin.

“From now on, my legion fights directly.”

At the very moment I said that, a voice echoed throughout Nemesis announcing that an intruder had appeared through the Hive consciousness.

-You are the ruler. Enemies are coming.

Through the Hive consciousness, through the open gates in the sky, I saw the great fires of the bastards of Hell approaching, ready to devour the world.

“Apostle, from now on, all players from all pioneering territories will be withdrawn. The former Demon King, tell me the location of your forces. I will open the door for you, so bring them all.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“… … I see.”

From now on, it will no longer be a comfortable fight against crappy people like demons.

First of all, in order to block the enemy’s attack as harmlessly as possible, I had to gather all the forces available to the Legion’s allies.

“Old man. Move Kang-ho here right now.”

“… … Wait a minute, some remaining points… … .”

“If you don’t want to sit still and watch the earth fly away, hurry up and get a loan. I will take responsibility and pay you back.”

“… … i get it.”

I looked around for the last time at my old comrades, who were still not fully aware of the situation.

“Guys. From now on, I can’t protect you. You know how to survive.”

During the war with the demons, the legion crushed them with overwhelming power, so the human players could safely take responsibility for the rear.

But from now on, Legion will be fighting demons that have climbed up from Hell, and I couldn’t guarantee that I could protect the players in that situation.

“If you feel even slightly dangerous, run away unconditionally.”

While I was working so hard to sort things out, the bastards from hell arrived earlier than expected.

The thick clouds created by Nemesis’ geysers parted in the flames they spewed, and now hellfire rained down from the sky like a shower.

【Listen to the Legion of Nemesis.】

Seen from a distance, they are just small sparks, but when viewed up close through the eyes of a jellyfish, each spark is a scumbag from hell.

【Prevent them from heading to Earth.】

―My ruler, I am Zyra of Nemesis. I will prepare an army according to your will.

At my command, the hatcheries in the colony that had been resting for a long time incubated hundreds of billions of eggs with the nutrients they had gathered.

And finally, the first clash of Legion and Ruin occurred as the first fires of the dogs of Hell shot high into the skies from Nemesis’ hive.

Now that this conflict has taken place, he and I are now in a situation where there is no truce.

-You are the ruler. The first army is ready.

I watched the disgusting dogs destroy the colony, and then gave an order to the huge number of creatures that woke up from their egg nests.

【Fuck all the bastards who have attacked us fearlessly.】
