Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 265
59. Fighting with Angels Again (3)
“You said you want to become a god.”
“What are you doing?”
“That’s…
“Is something good happening? I didn’t really get anything good while working for the Demon Lord. That’s what it means to be a superior. It is true that you have some great rights, but if you do not wield them, only a lot of obligations remain.”
“In fact, if you want to practice the virtues of a monarch,
you must live like a saint. “He listens to his subjects, always studies new subjects, and walks the path of moderation without impartiality.”
“We must fight against external enemies and crack down on the idiots within. In return, all I get is the statement that the entire demon world belongs to me… What do I do if it’s mine? “I can’t even sell it somewhere.”
“That’s a traitor.”
“therefore. If I sell it, it is not mine from that moment on and I cannot rule as king. But if I suppress the power and
do whatever I want, the only thing I can do is get kicked out.”
“Are you talking about yourself?”
“O” Hmm
“That’s what I heard. But why does everyone want to be king?”
“If you look at the fact that it’s all of them, isn’t it a groundless guess? “Do you want to be king?”
” no.”
“Signi? What about Lakhe? What is the rhythm? “What about the rest, etc.?”
“…At first glance, it doesn’t look like it’s there.”
“Do you want to be king? Then everyone says yes! “ I
would, but if I showed you a list of things to do when you become king, you would sneak away, right?”
“That’s enough for a king, but even more so for a god, right?”
“What would you do if you were the king of everyone in the world? Human beings, if they get angry, they will commit self-destruction, and there are countless stars that should be destroyed. “If humans were only here on the continent of Jose, it would be less of a hassle, but if they were on another planet, it would be so annoying that I would curse.”
“…Why would Nezar want to become a god
?”
“yes?”
“Iknow, right.”
“It’s because you’re stupid.”
“I guess Deus wants to be free after all.”
“huh?”
“I think that’s the conclusion of every story. freedom.”
“Freedom…
“You left the demon world because you wanted to live the way you wanted. “If you look at the contradictions in the world that we always talk about, it’s like a duty that binds Deus.”
“Oh, you’ve become quite smart.”
“Is it plausible?”
“Yes, freedom!”
“I’m not trying to do anything in particular.”
“Well, that’s right. I have no interest in conquering the world. But you can do it. If you think about it, isn’t the fact that I’m living with you like this because we’re pursuing the same thing? It would be better for you to spend your leisure time doing whatever you want to cook. “Rather than acting like a warrior.”
“Haha, that’s right.”
“As long as there is no war between the demon world and the human world.”
“There are only about eight years left, right?”
“is it?”
“yes.”
“With the current atmosphere, I don’t think there will be war or anything.”
Zeke sighed.
“But… Deus-sama said it before.”
“Did I leave something like a famous quote again?”
“It’s a famous saying… the reason why demons exist in this world. “Why are there wars every 100 years?”
“Oh, you mean that story?”
“I was really confused for a long time. If that is true, there is no reason to hate demons.”
“Isn’t that a different story? We hate each other because of our actions, not because of our goals. It’s a good excuse to have order and all. Anyway, they are just randomly slaughtering each other. It’s the demon side that starts the war first. Then the demons have no choice but to eat the curse.”
“That seems like a statement that sides with humanity.”
“Originally, the person who hits first is the one who loses.”
“Ascalon, then, I guess we’ll shake hands.”
“You mean the Demon World Expedition that Cadenza made? Suzy is the worst handshake ever. “God wants order, so human victory will not be in his plans.”
“So God doesn’t want humans to win.”
” that’s right.”
“Isn’t there something strange about that too?”
” why?”
“Then why are the angels… stepping in and actively helping Ascalon?”
Deus closed his mouth.
Another contradiction appeared.
It was like that from the beginning.
The one who was moving the Seven Dukes was… Mahon.
The demon spirit is like a collection of the will of past demon kings.
If Mahon also wanted order in the world, why did something like Ascaron appear now and disrupt the order?
“The angels suddenly started hating order?”
“Oh no way.”
“Isn’t that a bit far-fetched?”
“That is the same thing as saying that God denies God
.”
“therefore. Okay, let’s go back. “Whether we fight or not, our meat is more important now.”
In fact, barbecue was not a difficult dish.
It’s just that it takes a lot of work and is a hassle to do at home.
Cover with seasoning, leave overnight, and bake in the oven for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
And before serving it to guests,
it is completed by spreading sweet sauce and grilling it over high heat.
The combination of the sweet and bitter brown caramelized sauce and the meat is truly heavenly.
The store was full every day with customers attracted by the smell of grilling meat.
Zeke had been covering one eye all week, saying he had an eye infection.
It seems like he didn’t gain anything from his one-eyed life.
Yesterday in sparring, Deus got a real beating.
For that reason, he was wearing black-tinted glasses
.
Yulgeum was teasing me again from the seat next to me. It was already the 7th time.
“Take off your glasses. “I’m curious.”
“no.”
“Don’t be shy.”
“Ah, but why doesn’t this go away?”
“Because I was hit by a hero. “A hero’s compatibility with the Demon King is the worst.”
Zeke put his hands together with an awkward expression.
“sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. Because I feel worse.”
“Haha, it wasn’t intentional. “I didn’t know there would be bruises on Deus’ face.”
“don’t mind. “It won’t be fun if my body stiffens because of this the next time we spar.”
“Do not worry. “I am attacking you with the determination to kill you.”
In the meantime, Yulgeum slightly lifted his head and tried to peek into Deus’s eyes.
“Kyeah!”
“It’s a surprise!”
“What are you so curious about?”
“Don’t you look curious? “You got a black eye
.”
“Aren’t you going to Rosdia? “I have to go and supervise the kids.”
“Nothing to worry about now. Because it went into mass production. “It will be a bit busy when we deliver the first batch, get feedback, and reproduce the second batch.”
“Has it happened already? So how much do you think you can get?”
“Don’t talk to me about money. “Your butler will take care of it.”
“I have to hit it. “It will suck out your marrow.”
“Hey, I’m the god of dragons?”
“You have a lot of money. “Even if you worked for only the minimum hourly wage for 666 centuries, how much would that be?”
“It is true that there is plenty of wealth, but…
“A society in which too many people monopolize too much wealth is not healthy.”
“Why is the conversation flowing like that?”
“You too are one of the world’s leaders. Of course you should care. Or is it right for the poor to remain poor forever? “Do you find it so annoying to see dragons in the stream?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Yulgeum grumbled and spoke again.
“Why did the suggestion to take off your glasses come all the way here?”
Deus left the muttering Yulgeum alone and looked at Zeke.
“That’s why I’m talking about it, shall we go now? “I think we’re almost there.”
“I think I’m still missing one point.”
“I know someone who can fill that gap.”
“Did you really say that?”
“When have you ever seen me tell a joke?” Zeke tore up a large piece of barbecue meat
and cleaned it up. It was soaked in sauce and served on a plate, served with corn and cole slaw with beans boiled in sauce.
However, the reason he didn’t open his mouth wasn’t because he was busy plating.
Deus did not urge.
Zeke, who had been thinking for a while, sighed briefly.
“To be honest… it’s true that I’m curious
.”
“yes?”
Yulgeum was involved.
“Wait a minute. “Why are you two talking
without me ?”
“I will.”
“What are you doing?”
“Okay then, let’s go.”
“Where are you going?”
The audio of the three was mixed up. But there was no way Deus could forget the law.
“Yulgeum, you too have to play an important role.”
“What?”
“Please wait and open the door. “Because it’s a hassle to fly.”
“Is it treated like a shuttle? But where are you going?”
“The Tomb of the Destroying Angels.”
“Kamael?”
Yulgeum looked at Zeke and Deus alternately with a surprised face.
Zeke averted his gaze with an awkward expression.
Who would have thought that even Zeke would challenge Kamael.
Yulgeum’s open mouth could not be closed for a long time.
“It’s you again.”
Kamael looked straight at Deus, who came to the land where he was staying
.
“How are you?”
“That shamelessness goes beyond your fighting skills.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Deus pulled his arm from behind and pushed it forward.
“How is this guy?”
“…I can feel the power of the Death God Beast within my body. “It looks like the two you didn’t get belong to this child.”
Kamael slowly turned his eyes and glanced at Yulgeum standing behind him.
Yulgeum was now leaning against the wall and
avoiding eye contact.
“Isn’t it useful?”
“I just had to stop doing it. Is this by any chance the blind date that humans are talking about? “I am not ready yet.”
“It’s a blind date. “But I can only introduce you if you beat him.”
“You seem to be very shy. “It is natural that we will win.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Because he is human. In the blood of a warrior, there are two of the Death Gods and one of the Death Eyes. I admit that it is an unusual combination. But
… my name is Kamael. “I am Kamael the red leopard.”
Deus chuckled.
Kamael frowned.
“What’s funny?”
“There is no such thing as an obvious victory. “If Zeke loses, you become his lover. On the other hand, if he loses, what will you do for him?”
Zeke waved his hand in surprise.
“Why are we suddenly becoming lovers?”
“You said you were lonely? “Because there are no women.”
“No, no, I never said that
.”
“You’re not lonely? Is that possible? “He always borrows the sexy photo pages from my newspaper and goes away.”
“evil! that!”
“I’ve been without a lover for 26 years. How can I not be lonely? This is the best as a lover, right? “She’s strong, she’s an angel, she’s pretty.”
Zeke bowed his head to Kamael.
“sorry. “I’m sorry for being like this.”
“I know you’re good at making jokes, but… okay. Let’s agree to that bet. “What can I do if
I lose?”
“Give me your blessings.”
“God?”
“To this guy.”
“good. “If those conditions are the case, there will be no loss.”
Yulgeum, who was backing away, spoke.
“Don’t get caught up in such provocation.”
“Don’t worry, Yulgeum. I haven’t forgotten what my karma is
. However…
she said while looking at Deus.
“Ever since I fought that guy, time started to pass inside me.”
Yulgeum sighed.
Kamael stayed alone, guarding this place for tens of thousands of years.
I wasn’t a quiet person by nature. He was the god of battle, and his warlike personality did not change even after becoming an angel.
I spent a long time suppressing all my instincts.
To fulfill the heavy duty of protecting the angels of destruction.
Then, after fighting Deus, it seems his desire erupted.
I want to fight.
I want to compete with a stronger person.
“Let’s go out, human.”
“Yes, Kamael.”
Zeke’s prayer changed.
Kamael smiled. You won’t be lonely today either.
