43. Decide on war. (2)
Just as he was about to panic, it was the Blue Dragon and Suzaku within Zeke’s body that overpowered him.
I was dumbfounded, but Deus gave a brief explanation.
“A case of lending Suzaku. Some of Hyunmoo’s power was taken away and given to him. “Now there is no difference in power between you and me.”
“Lord Deus…
“Hyeonmu’s power is far superior. But if you think about it, I got it because of you, so I guess half of it should be yours, right?”
“It’s too much power for me.”
“So stop being human.”
“You can’t be a demon.”
“I’m not saying you have to become a demon. If the situation arises, you can invade the New Territories and protest for a seat.”
“Isn’t that too extreme?”
“Because it has that much power. You’ve gained the power to destroy the world, right? Conversely, will God just leave you alone? “I think they might send an angel or something to do something
.”
“What is something?”
“I will either kill you or appease you.”
“That’s a really scary story.”
“Well, I’m well prepared. “What are those, anyway?”
Only then did Deus’ eyes fall on the horses and carriages brought by Zeke and Alex.
“Ah, they said it was Yeomma.”
“Yemma?”
“When I came to the demon world with Lakhe, the satyrs tried to catch him. Something to say to Deus. “Because I helped catch it,
we’re here together now.”
“There’s no need to say anything. If anything happens, you can just tell Alex to change.”
“I also have something called social respect and prestige.”
I silently dismissed Alex’s answer and spoke to Zeke again.
“Now that I think about it, you don’t have an electric gun, do you?”
” yes?”
“take it. Although they are called Enma, they are not really different from horses in the human world. “It seems like mating is also possible?”
“But…
“You said you earned it? take it. “I’ll give it to you as an apology for bringing Signi in without telling me.”
As if Enma understood Deus’ words, he came to Zeke’s side and rubbed his nose.
“It looks like he likes you too.”
“Since you said so much, I will take it.”
Zeke received assurances about SIGNI’s future.
And Deus obtained Hyeonmu through Suzaku.
There was no more business between the two.
Deus and Zeke both knew that. But no one said goodbye.
“right!”
“Well…
they both spoke at the same time.
“why?”
” yes?”
“I will speak first this time. “You’ve never seen the world outside the mugwort swamp, have you?”
” yes.”
“let’s go. See for yourself. That this is the real world. “Because I was curious too.” Deus turned his head and
said to Alex.
“Butler!”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Get the carriage ready.”
“Where do you plan on going?”
“To the end of the world!”
” yes?”
“Isn’t it plausible? “The end of the world!”
“Haa… Is it okay to just run along and stop near the sea?”
“You heartless bastard. If I say it’s the end of the world , I should add a nicer modifier to it .
“What do you mean by running roughly?”
Alex said, tingling his ear canal.
“I will work hard and run to the end of the world.”
“Ha, look at what that bastard is doing. “Once they found out that there was a 667-year-old devil in the world, they started acting like me.”
“It’s frustrating that I can’t laugh purely because it’s about my sister.”
“Oh, that’s right. “I have committed a mortal sin.”
Deus got on the carriage and Zeke
got on Enma’s back.
Yulgeum shook his head as he watched this crazy party.
“You get on quickly too.”
“You guys know something really strange? The devil and the hero. Can’t you hear me? Calm down! “Please!”
“If something sounds strange, I just leave it alone.”
“Why are the devil and the hero like that!” The carriage departs. Yulgeum had no choice but to get on the carriage.
Deus opened his mouth as if in response to her words.
“The world is a stage created by God. We are the actors. As long as you perform properly on the appointed day, don’t blame the backstage. By me.”
“I don’t like the cold.”
One word from the Demon King determined the direction of the path.
The carriage traveled 1,000 kilometers south.
The chariot pulled by demonic demons marched more than 200 kilometers a day and was able to reach the spring-bright land in just five days.
Everywhere was full of greenery and animals.
It was still swarming with mugwort monsters. The devil’s chariot had to turn around as the herd of elephants, which were about 5 meters tall, marched.
Yulgeum opened the carriage window wide.
“Nature is truly amazing!”
“Are you sure it was really destroyed?”
“I can’t even believe it.”
“Didn’t you say that it was about 70,000 years ago that a star fell and polluted the world with mugwort?”
“They said it would take at least 100,000 years… but actually,
it’s not completely safe yet.”
Yulgeum held up a small machine that displayed numbers.
“The explosion center is a little more serious, but excluding a few spots, it’s okay for humans to live now.”
The machine was a pollution measuring device given to Zeke.
Zeke was now sitting in the driver’s seat. Yeomma, a gift from Deus, was running at the head of the carriage.
Zeke received Yulgeum’s words.
“Is this really the Demon World?”
“No, no, this place cannot be called the Demon World. The Demon World is the name that refers to the huge basin located below the Jose Continent. This place… well, what should we call it?”
Deus received the word.
“It’s called the Demon World. “This land is my land.”
“Whose will it be?”
“It’s my land because I discovered it.”
“The map of the Earth was completed a long time ago?”
“That map isn’t even correct now, is it?” The land boiled, the sea evaporated, and
it rained mugwort for 100 days.
As Deus said, topographical maps of the past were worth nothing more than a tissue to blow your nose.
“So, my land.”
“Why are you suddenly greedy for land?”
“Why do you think it was so sudden?”
“I knew you weren’t interested in that kind of thing since you quit your position as Demon King.”
“I don’t like obligations, but I like rights, right?”
Zeke burst out laughing.
“That is truly a masterpiece. “Who doesn’t like rights?”
“yes?”
“But if you want to enjoy your rights, you can’t abandon your duties.”
“Not really. There are many people who enjoy their rights without any obligations, right? It’s true that the king has various duties, but no one can say anything if he doesn’t do them, right? “He’s a tyrant and all, so people point fingers at him later on, but at the time, they’re just people who cling to him and flatter him.”
“My lord! Are you going to become a tyrant!” Alex couldn’t stand it anymore and raised his voice. “Why is he seungjil again?”
“Master, do you want to become a tyrant?”
“I was just giving an example.”
“How did I raise you, master, but you keep going astray like that? Now that you have obtained the Hyeonmu and the White Tiger, you should study the Demon King’s Dance diligently and think about defeating the hero. Is traveling to a warm southern country the right move for your current situation? Even with the hero Zeke!”
“I’m sorry I went with you.”
Zeke bowed his head.
Deus
clicked his tongue as if disapproving.
“Anyway, he really can’t understand the mood. As soon as I say something, the atmosphere becomes cold. “That’s why I have no friends.”
“My lord!”
“Do you think of that stupid war when you look at this wide field?”
“What a stupid war!”
“Why are you trying to get your hands on the continent of Jose?”
“It is the best land in the world to live in.”
Zeke joined the conversation.
“That’s not necessarily the case now. “The number of mugwort
monsters increased and everyone became very poor as they prepared for war.”
“You made it dirty. you.”
Alex pouted at Deus’ mistreatment.
“It’s because my lord ran away from home.”
“Why is your situational awareness so selfish? “Why is it all my fault?”
“Did I say something wrong?”
“That’s your limit. Do you think anything when you look at that field? It’s a green field with lots of sunlight. “Why are you leaving that behind and attacking the Joseon continent, which is full of humans?”
“Isn’t the Jose Continent overwhelmingly better?”
“In what way?”
“If we win the war, won’t we create tens of millions of slaves?”
Alex confidently asked this question.
It was to the point where Zeke burst out laughing.
Deus says while looking at Zeke.
“Don’t you feel bad? “That story.”
“It’s not good to hear from a human perspective.”
“yes? Even if you get angry at those words and attack me to death,
I will turn a blind eye.”
“It’s just the wind. That won’t happen. Because I’m there.”
“Oh, that confidence is amazing.”
“Besides… this sounds like a good idea? The soil here is fertile and there are many animals. “I don’t think it will be that difficult to settle down.”
“yes? So, mine.”
“Even if all the land within sight here were owned by Master Deus, I think there would be thousands of times more land left.”
“Well, I think we’re already 4,000 kilometers away from the Demon World, but the land we’ve passed through so far is dozens of times that of the Demon World.”
“Even if you exclude the unusable land, it is a vast land that cannot even be compared to the Jose continent. “There is no need for the demon world to invade the human world, leaving a place like this behind.”
“You grew up great, Zeke!”
“It’s not possible!”
Alex said firmly.
“What do you mean it’s not working?”
“My lord! The land of Wormwood
is contaminated with poison. Besides, look at the mugwort monsters.”
“You just have to choose an uncontaminated place to live. Why the mugwort monster? They’re just animals. It’s just big. “Do you think it will be safer if we build the walls high?”
“It’s impossible!”
“what?”
“That’s…
“Give me a reason. “What is impossible?”
“God will not allow it.”
“I give permission.”
“But…
“In the demon world, the demon king is god.”
“You are blasphemous.”
“If God tells you to kill me, will you do it?”
“There is no way God would say something like that.”
“Are you communicating with God?”
” yes?”
“You bastard. Are you a spy for God? “Aren’t you being ordered by God to leave me, the king, behind?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?” “
Why are you acting like you know God’s will
when you haven’t even heard it directly ?”
“Well,
if God speaks, will he deal with me, the head, or you?” “I’ll talk about it well, so don’t worry about it.”
“Well…
“If you go to the surface and fight a war with the human world, the demon world will also suffer tremendous damage. The reason why they invade once every 100 years is because the damage can only be repaired over time, right? “Isn’t it better to divert those resources here
?”
Alex closed his mouth.
It seemed like logic was at a loss.
“If that’s the case, I’ll help too.”
Zeke nails it.
“If the reason the demon world invades the human world is because they need land, then helping create a frontier will be a way to protect the human world.”
“That’s good. Let’s use the Four Gods of Death to purify it once again. “One year will be enough to exterminate the mugwort monsters.”
“That seems a bit extreme. Wouldn’t it be enough to just
move it to a place where it won’t be disturbed?”
“Or you could have Nezar modify it. “You can just change it to something like livestock.”
“Nezar?”
“uh. That’s what he’s good at. By modifying humans, you created a higher-level human called Adapa. Don’t you think you can turn a mugwort monster into a useful species in that way?”
“stop!”
Yulgeum interrupted the conversation between the two.
