Chapter 40 The Demon God's Doubt

?—A few minutes before at McDowell's…—

A black-haired employee at McDowell's was currently wiping the tables using a damp white cloth. Nodding to himself as he admired his excellent work, the employee placed the white cloth on the cleaning trolley and proceeded to do the same to other messy tables.

After a few minutes have passed by, his cleaning quota was completed and it was time for him to serve and greet the customers. For someone with high charisma like him and excellent social skills, Julius wasn't worried that he would leave a bad impression on the customers.

Seeing that a customer entered the establishment, Julius walked towards the customer with a menu in hand and gave it to the customer.

"Welcome to McDowell's, how may I help you?"

Receiving the customer with a mandatory greeting, Julius flashed a professional smile on his face as he waited for the customer's reply.

But after noticing that the customer only accepted the menu and didn't reply to his question, Julius wasn't offended as he guessed that the customer must be a regular at McDowell's.

Or to be specific, Julius dare not offend the customer not because he treated customers as if they were gods but because he felt that the identity of the customer with long purple hair was shrouded in mystery.

Not to mention, he felt that the purple-haired customer was dangerous! The instincts that he had honed for thousands of years were screaming at him to remain vigilant toward the purple-haired customer.

He didn't know why, but he felt threatened by the existence of the purple-haired customer as if that mortal had the power to kill him!

Dismissing such a thought, Julius sighed in relief after seeing that the purple-haired customer no longer cared about him and went to sit on the corner.

'Hmm… I have to admit, for a mortal, that purple-haired guy has an appearance comparable to or even surpassing those gods. I wonder if he started his harem?'

To distract himself, Julius thought of that in his mind as despite not being gay, he couldn't help but admire the appearance of the purple-haired customer.

But before he could continue his work routine, Julius felt his soul shudder. He felt an unnerving feeling as if someone peered through all of his secrets.

When Julius thought of the possibility that someone had discovered his true identity, he couldn't help but panic!

'Haven't I already used the greatest concealment magic used by the gods at Fantasia? Although the version I used was weakened due to my lack of mana and divinity, even the strongest in this world shouldn't be able to see through my true appearance.'

Julius doubted whether Blue Star was safe or not. He had already gathered information about Blue Star and those mortals called this planet "Earth".

'Although this world is technologically more advanced than Fantasia, it shouldn't be at the level of those higher civilizations. Not to mention, I haven't noticed anyone taking out an advanced gadget to see through my true appearance.'

'Is it perhaps a skill? Since the descent of that dimensional gate, these mortals started to awaken their mana alongside their skills.'

'And from what I have observed, that purple-haired customer did possess mana. As for what grade his observation skill was to see through my disguise, it should be a G-grade skill or above.'

While Julius thought of that in his mind, he felt fortunate that despite seeing through his identity, the purple-haired customer didn't have any interest in him. Or at least, that's what he had observed.

Julius Daemon was the Demon God Of Victory. He was a member of the demon race who managed to achieve godhood but even so, he felt that the universe was unfair as it discriminated against their demon race.

The demon lords at Fantasia were his descendants but even he was powerless to defend them from those 'heroes'.

It was not because he was too weak to defeat and kill those heroes. In fact, those heroes were nothing but ants to him even if they managed to kill his descendants.

But, the backer of those heroes was Filicia Fantasia, the Goddess Of Fantasy. Even Julius wasn't confident that he could defeat Filicia and his evaluation was indeed correct. He really couldn't defeat her.

In an attempt to defy the fate of the entire demon and monster race, Julius was sick of being a coward who couldn't even stand up to his descendants. He bravely defied the Goddess of Fantasy and fought against her with his life on the line.

Unfortunately, even with his power as a Demon God, he couldn't defeat Filicia and could barely harm her.

If not for his lack of pride and arrogance, he would have already been killed by Filicia if he didn't decisively choose to retreat. He managed to end up on Blue Star after escaping from Fantasia.

Julius was left with no choice but to recuperate his injuries and wait for the time to counterattack against the Goddess Of Fantasy as he mingled with the mortals in Blue Star.

But even he knew that he wasn't completely safe in Blue Star. He had already detected the presence of Gaia when he escaped to Blue Star while he was heavily injured. But Gaia seemed to ignore his presence and she didn't even take the opportunity to kill him while he was at his weakest.

Because of that, Julius was able to integrate himself into human society as a part-timer at McDowell's.

Julius hadn't even recovered a tenth of his power but it was enough to defend himself against mortals. Even he possessed the means of deflecting a nuclear bomb despite being heavily injured.

Julius didn't know why but after a week he escaped to this world, he perceived fluctuations of mana and divinity which belonged to his archenemy. Afterward, a dimensional gate descended.

Of course, Julius knew that a summoning circle that was created by Filicia was the one he perceived a month before. He was also well aware that the dimensional gate didn't lead to Fantasia but to another world that was unknown to him.

'Ah fuck! What happened to this world? I don't know what is in Gaia's mind to allow the influence of three gods to intervene in her world.'

'As if a Demon God like me and Filicia's hero summoning circle weren't enough, she even allowed a god to create a dimensional gate in her world! Is she out of her mind?!'

Although Julius was complaining about Gaia's indifference to affairs regarding her world, he was also relieved that she didn't plan to intervene which allowed him to recover his injuries in peace.

But he was slightly pissed off that his peace was disrupted when the dimensional gate descended. After all, the descent of the dimensional gate had awakened a human that could peer through the secrets of a demon god. How could Julius not be pissed off about that?

Julius didn't know if it was his luck that allowed him to live this long but he did know that his luck would run out if these shenanigans continued.

'Now what? A god who could end everything will appear in this world?'

'I swear if that ever happened, regardless of my injuries, I will retreat to Fantasia and fight to the death with Filicia! I can't live peacefully in a world created by a goddess with a screw loose on her head so I might as well fight a suicidal battle with my archenemy than suffer in this world!'

Even if Julius was a Demon God who had lived for thousands of years, he wasn't inherently good at adapting to bizarre events that happened in his life.

To be honest, he wanted to apologize on behalf of Gaia for her stupidity since he deemed her as the disgrace of the gods!

Even if Julius admitted that he was cowardly, he dared to say that he wasn't as cowardly as Gaia. After all, from his impression, Gaia was a goddess who was so timid and cowardly that she allowed the influence of three gods to affect her world.

If it was up to Julius, he wouldn't allow such a thing to happen in his world!

Or more like, he didn't even need to intervene since the world where he was born wasn't his property but Filicia's.

To allow a god to influence his world was like allowing the dog of your neighbor to shit on your lawn!

For him, that was a direct provocation!

It was a transgression worthy of starting a world war!

Of course, Julius might complain but he knew that he couldn't do anything. After all, Blue Star wasn't his world. Even if it was, he was too weak to defy the god that owned the dimensional gate as well as Filicia.

To be honest, he hated that his demon race was discriminated against to the point that they were weaker than most races! Even those elves were stronger than them since those elves weren't restricted by the universe, unlike their demon race.

With that sense of helplessness, Julius ignored the incident with the purple-haired customer. He already finished his quota for greeting the customers so he was left with the job of flipping burgers and frying fries.

The Demon God could only work as a part-timer at McDowell's to live in modern society.
