Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 229

52. Demiurge 667 ascends to the throne (4)

“He became king through Migo’s will?”

“The Demon Dukes are already showing their loyalty to her?”

It was an amazing story.

Yulgeum felt like this situation itself was a joke.

“A demon lord with a human heart? No, in the case of Migo, he is a half-human, half-demon demon lord.”

I asked, looking at Deus with his arms crossed.

“So what are you going to do? “Just leave it alone?”

“Kill one Nezar.”

“That is the most urgent.”

“We will prevent war 10 years from now.”

“I agree with that too. “If the demon world and the human world fight in this situation, the wounds on both sides will be significant.”

“Three…

“Three?”

“I don’t know either. “For now, those two things come first.”

“I noticed that you didn’t think anything, but you were holding your pulse properly.”

“What about that one? What are you going to do now? You were here because of Migo. And what about angels? “Have we not reached a conclusion about Migo’s existence yet?”

“I haven’t heard it yet.”

“It’s really slow there too.”

“Because I’m cautious. “You can only move after examining all the implications on the world.”

“Thanks to you, I gained some time. In the worst case scenario, if the angels don’t acknowledge Migo’s existence, that would be the most troublesome,

right? “If you think about what you were trying to do before, it’s a reasonable conclusion to make.”

Skatul ordered Regin to assassinate Migo.

“That’s right.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“Don’t be like a debt collector. “Because it hurts me too.”

Yulgeum, who was speaking, glanced at Deus.

“Anyway, you are the biggest problem. “Why are you messing with a 10-year-old girl and making this sadal?”

“Wow, if someone who doesn’t know what’s going on hears that,

they’ll think I’m trash, huh?”

“You are the biggest problem. “It would be perfect to just sit there as a king in the demon world.”

“I will die in a great war in just 10 years.”

“We might win the war against humans.”

“Does that make sense?”

“With effort?”

“no no. no way. I found out about Daecheon Sarang last time. “Compared to an archangel, someone like me is the difference between the sun and a firefly.”

“You mean Kamael?”

“Did you hear what I said?”

“huh. But don’t be too disappointed. Kamael is an angel of divine power. “In terms of combat ability, he is the highest level among archangels.”

” you?”

“I’m perfect! In all respects.”

Deus snorted at Yulgeum’s boastful words.

“It looks like you were kicked out of the angels because your personality is flawed.”

“You weren’t kicked out?”

“Do you admit that your personality is flawed

?”

“Of course not!”

“Anyway, how can the Demon King win when those incredibly powerful people are on the human side? It’s not for nothing that we have lost all 665 matches. “It’s like a demon lord or something.”

When Deus thought about it, he seemed to be pissed and continued talking.

“Not long after he was born, they put him to sleep by injecting him with demon spirit energy or something…. When he wakes up, he learns martial arts for 20 years, such as Demon King Dance, and then fights a warrior

. This is the treadmill life of a demon king. “Doesn’t it seem like all that effort was just to die?”

“That can’t be possible. According to what you said, why do you need a demon lord?”

“Are you pretending not to know? Or do you really not know?”

” Yes?”

“Why does the devil exist?”

“I don’t know?”

“No, you should know?”

Deus picked up a cookie placed in front of Yulgeum and shoved it into his mouth.

I chewed something half the size of my palm in one go.

“If you think about it. I’ve only been alive for about 20 years since I opened my eyes. I was born about 10 years before the previous Demon King died. Considering that he has no memories of his childhood before the age of 10, he may have lived behind his mother’s back for about 10 years like Migo. And then I went to school for 10 years. “I killed my classmates at a place like the Demon King’s Military Academy and became one of the last.”

It would have been a terrible memory for a human, but he was a demon lord.

“Well, I heard it later, but those classmates

were actually my brothers. The previous demon king had a total of 73 children. Among them, I survived, and after that, I walked into the magic circle to get the magic spirit. And the memories of the past 80 years are only dreams.”

“You are dreaming.”

“I don’t know. Was it a dream I had at that time, or was it a dream I had in a nap outside the magic circle after obtaining demonic energy? “Because it’s not that long or clear.”

Deus tilted his head and opened his mouth again.

“And I immediately ran away from home. “I met Zeke

there .”

“If you look at his age since he first woke up, he’s younger than Zeke.”

“Oh, does that happen?”

“Zeke was 14 and you only have 10 years worth of memories.”

“Um… this is Zeke’s secret.”

“Are you afraid I’ll ask you to call me brother?” Yulgeum burst into laughter.

“If you count the day you were born, you are over 100 years old. “Zeek won’t ask you to call him brother, so don’t worry.”

“Anyway, it’s been 20 years. 10 of those years

were when I was an immature child. It’s only been 10 years since I became an adult. It hasn’t been that long since I started worrying. But now I know why I need the Demon King. But there’s no way you wouldn’t know. “You have much more information about this world than I do.”

“…That’s right. “It’s impossible to pretend not to know.”

“You know that too, right? The devil must die. It’s meant to die. There should be no exceptions. “If an exception were to arise, I would forcibly

create a hero and defeat him just like when the first Demon King came .”

” that’s right.”

“Hollywoods was a hastily made warrior. It was created the moment the Demon King crossed the border. How do you know whether you are human or not? “Maybe the angel was pretending to be a human.”

“It was a blessing. Close to infinite.”

“Well, in itself it was just a gambling game.”

“That’s a little different.”

“Are you forgetting that I got Lucifer’s first memory?”

“It did.”

“Most of them didn’t remain. But all that’s inside is sadness and anger. Lou Sippel was a martyr. “Just like you.”

Yulgeum brought the teacup to her mouth.

I used the tea that had already cooled down.

“Was that also a command from God? I don’t know about that, but… you and Lou Sippel. “Even if they were creatures made up of lies, it was so pitiful that they were all buried alive.”

What Deus was talking about were dragons and demons.

The dragon

was a creature created to destroy the giant.

The dragon was not a giant that had repeatedly degenerated and turned into a monster, but a biological weapon to deal with the Adapas, real giants created by Nezar and now resurrected.

And the demons were chimeras created by the silver race.

I didn’t know exactly what the purpose was.

Was it simply a spectacle, or was it an attempt to gain some kind of evolutionary clue that could lead to human development?

Either way, a huge number of composite numbers were created at the end of the Silver Age.

And the synthetic beasts released into the world as the Silver Age came to an end would have been a nuisance.

Synthetic beasts that are highly intelligent and can even use magic.

God would have tried to drown them all by sending heavy rain.

“You voluntarily resigned from the Archangel and became a Jingeumyong to protect the dragons, right? Just as Lucifer became the Demon King to save the Demons.”

“Maybe so.”

“You don’t answer clearly.”

“Isn’t the one with a secret more attractive?”

Deus laughed.

“Let’s leave it at that.”

“So, instead of digging into my secrets, I want to hear your conclusion? Why did Lucifer turn himself into Demiurge and attack the human world? Demiurge is a false god. “The name comes from an old myth.”

“The devil is like a warrior.”

“Oh, that’s quite philosophical.”

“Both are useless. Because there is nothing I can do other than destroy. Neither the brilliant civilization of gold nor the culture of silver are able to flourish in this era. Humanity has regressed and deteriorated. But paradoxically, it survived the longest.”

“Because it’s the 666th century. The golden age began in the 80th century. “The Silver Age was shorter, lasting only the 20th century.”

“It’s not just that it’s long, it’s that it’s incomparable. Because it survived nearly 10 times longer than the glorious golden age. If survival

is the goal of a species, times of chaos are the most successful.”

“If you have come that far, you will reach the conclusion quickly.”

Yulgeum sighed and Deus nodded.

“You said it one day. “Except for humans, everyone else is just the dregs of the world.”

“I didn’t say that much.”

“That’s what I meant. Should we call it an accessory to the system? If humans are the second and minute hands of a clock, the rest of the species are the gears and mainspring behind the clock face

. “We live for human survival.”

Deus stole Yulgeum’s snack again and ate it.

Yulgeum couldn’t say anything because it seemed as if he was blaming himself.

“Why does the devil exist? It’s for human survival. A strong external enemy is what brings the internal together. Thanks to the demons, mankind was able to avoid the two mistakes that led to destruction by fighting each other. Did you say this planet is Earth? This is the most perfect ecosystem for humans to live in

. “It has become an ideal world where we don’t use ancient weapons to destroy each other, and we don’t go back to the primitive era by engaging in magic battles.”

“That’s why the devil must be defeated.”

“Because there is no way God will stand by and see the conclusion that the devil wins and humans become extinct.”

I heard footsteps on the stairs.

The person coming down the stairs is Zeke. He had a heavy expression.

“Is that… true?”

“It’s just a conclusion I came to. If I want to find out if it’s true, I need to call God and talk to him about it all. Or maybe Yulgeum calmly nods his head. But that’s hard to hope for.”

Zeke looked straight into Yulgeum’s eyes.

But there was no way she would answer.

Her identity is Jin Geum-yong. He was, after all, the god of dragons.

“Are you saying that the Demon King… has been attacking the earth to prevent the division of humans, and that the Hero exists to periodically reset that work?”

“I think so. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the world to be so distorted.”

The reason Deus quit being the Demon King was because he felt the contradiction.

It would be nice to wrap up the consistent defeats over the past 665 centuries with the words of good tenacity.

Deus felt that it was a very unnatural title.

“If that’s true, then we no longer have a reason to hate demons.”

Deus scratched his head.

“You are now being deceived by the devil. Ah, isn’t he the devil now? Because it was cut.”

“You got cut? “That story is shocking in its own way.”

“uh. I got laid off. “A more capable, younger and prettier girl got in.”

“Who is the next Demon King?”

“Migo.”

” yes?”

“that’s right. “It’s the Migo you know.”

Zeke

couldn’t come to his senses for a moment due to the series of shocking stories.

Deus reached for the last remaining cookie.

As if she couldn’t bear it any longer, Yulgeum took his hand away and grabbed the snack.

“No matter how wrong I am, it’s not enough for me to take this away, right?”

“What do you mean?”
