Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 227
52. Demiurge 667 ascends to the throne (2)
“What other answer will I get from further conversation with you, who is still looking forward to being 666 years old?”
“My lord, you have gained tremendous power!”
“It is true that even I was surprised when he overwhelmed the enemy with that power. “But where is he now?”
“That means,
“In the war that is only 9 years away, not 10 years, we must believe in him and go up to the ground. “If he doesn’t stop the warriors, what future will there be for the Demon World’s army?”
Alex closed his mouth in response to Seiton’s question.
“Can you entrust your life to an untrustworthy king?”
“My lord… doesn’t he have a successor? Taking him in…
“Kyo-ogong! Bring it to me today. Then I, Seiton, will bow down at his feet. It’s not just me.
We, the Seven Dukes, swore a long time ago to forever obey the devil’s lineage. I have no intention of breaking that oath. But it was not we who abandoned our master. “On the contrary, we have been abandoned by our lord!”
Alex lowered his head.
To be honest, he didn’t even know Lord Deus’s feelings.
I wonder if he cherishes the Demon World. Do you have any intention of protecting countless demons?
Upon hearing the news that humans had invaded the Demon World, Deus put everything aside and
ran there.
Alex was quite moved that day.
Even though I’m acting like a mess, I think I’m at least saving the Demon World.
But when he returned to the demon world, the demon king had disappeared.
I left the war behind and went somewhere with Zeke.
The last person to see the Demon King was Bina, who was guarding Signi.
According to her, she left to save Signy, who was pregnant with the Demon King’s child.
It’s already been over a year since that happened
.
As I went missing for a long time without any news, my suspicions grew.
Could it be that he ran away from home again?
Alex also couldn’t erase that suspicion.
“I can’t believe it.”
Seiton shook his head again.
The meeting went round in circles.
The demon world could not exist without a king.
On the day Migo set foot in the demon world, the demon peacocks
returned to their respective towers after a rough argument.
Rodris visited Seyton.
The moment Seiton saw Migo, he was startled.
I immediately fell down in front of him.
The Demon Dukes are the seven oldest.
That’s why he recognized the devil’s bloodline at a glance.
“Sloth Seiton meets his new lord!”
Rodrith looked at him and sighed in relief. Looking at Duke Demon’s reaction, it seemed like his eyes were not wrong.
“My name is Migo. “I came to become your king.”
“We welcome the coming of our new lord. I will summon all seven dukes right now. Please wait at the throne. Marquis Rodris, please guide the new Demon King to the throne.”
“Yes, Duke.”
Rodris guided Migo to the central tower.
While walking down the hallway leading to the air, Migo looked at the decorations and patterns inside.
The year she was born and lived
was in human culture.
If you add the long time spent living in the cocoon on Signy’s back, it was more than 10 years.
Unlike an ordinary fetus, Migo heard and felt a lot during those 10 years.
Although we forgot most of it when we were born, those senses played a big role in sculpting our unconscious.
As much as I was familiar with human culture and its deep psychology, the demon world was unfamiliar to me.
But beyond that unfamiliar sensation, there was a familiarity that seemed imprinted in my blood.
I put my hand on the railing.
It felt like something was being whispered.
Small grains.
It was the heart of the demon world that had flowed for tens of thousands of years.
The Demon King’s throne was visible.
The armor placed behind it was clearly that of the Demon King.
When participating in the final war, one wears it as a ritual and swears.
They said they would kill humans and take over the land.
Originally, the armor was supposed to contain a demonic soul, but currently,
there is no demonic soul left in the demon world.
Following Rodris’ guidance, Migo sat on the throne.
I saw Rodris sitting on a high chair and kneeling at his feet.
Become a king.
I had no intention of taking anything from my father.
However, if he does not become king, the demon world will disappear.
The power of his father and uncle Zeke could not stop Nezar now.
The army he commanded was still growing in strength.
There is no need for Nezar to erase the weakened Demon World from the map.
I glanced to the side.
A butler named Croche was standing there politely.
He was a guard sent by Nezar.
Although he didn’t particularly try to stop his actions, he would definitely take action whenever he tried to do something unfavorable to Nezhar.
It was for his father that Migo sat on the king’s throne. The coldness of the throne
seemed to
freeze my body .
Can you do it well?
At that time, the dukes of the demon world arrived at the king’s room one after another.
Sloth ball Seiton and Kyo Goku Alex Carnal ball Shantrina Vaginal space ball Vina Gluttonous ball Darosh Crater ball Ifrit Greed ball Oshisu.
The moment they saw Migo, they put their hands together and prayed to the sky.
God has not abandoned us!
The seven peacocks gathered in front of Migo’s feet, hurriedly walking on their knees.
“Alex, the Lord of Immaengryang, Gyoogong, greets you.”
“The sloth Seiton, lord of demons and fiends, greets you my lord.”
“Osis the Greeder, the ruler of Sachar and the Dominion, offers his loyalty to the new lord.”
“Shant Rina, the lord of lust, the lord of demons and courtesans, comes to see the lord. May you live forever!”
“Vina, the ruler of snakes and dragons, offers her loyalty to her new lord.”
“This is Ifrit the Crater, the lord of fire and jinn. I offer you my allegiance.”
“Greetings to Lord Daro Sugar the Glutton, the lord of beasts and dragons.”
Seven dukes took the oath of allegiance.
It was the moment when a new king was born in the demon world.
Because there was a war going on, a grand coronation ceremony could not be held. Migo himself didn’t want that.
Migo asked the first question to them.
“I have only just become king. It’s only been a year since I was born. Their knowledge is short and their abilities are lacking
. That is why I ask you, the Seven Dukes. “How can we end this war?”
Seiton, the sloth, spoke first.
“Thanks to the power of the Giant God Army, we are able to push the enemy closer to the border, but we have not yet overwhelmed the enemy. “It may be presumptuous to say this, but if we can borrow more soldiers from Nezar, the king of the giants, we can easily end the war.”
Seiton was a representative pro-Nejar faction.
As soon as he finished speaking, Deacon Croche, who was sitting next to Migo, answered.
“Nezar has built a good relationship with Migo. He said that Migo had been crowned as the new king of the Demon World, and that the Demon World should not be in fear. 50,000 new giant god troops are already coming down here. So, Dukes, don’t worry and help Her Majesty the new Queen to return the Demon World to normal.” The Demon Dukes
, who were bowing their heads at Croche’s words,
looked at each other.
It was extremely good news, but at the same time, I didn’t feel very good.
It was because I felt like I was being dragged in by someone I had never heard of, possibly Nezar.
Regardless of the feelings of the demonic dukes, additional giant troops were sent into the battlefield for a long time, and the human army reached the point where it was in a hurry to retreat.
Meanwhile, Deus arrived in the demon world only about half a day after Migo sat on the throne.
Whistling, I climbed the Devil’s Tower.
“But when I came back without these kids, they didn’t even say hello.”
I looked up. The spiral corridor that winds around the inside and outside of the tower came into full view.
I climbed a few more floors again.
There I encountered the guards for the first time.
It was a beastman with the head of a crocodile. They crossed their ax spears and blocked Deus.
“This is the devil’s palace. Outsiders
can no longer climb.” Deus twitched his eyebrows. Then he realized that he had not
released his human form .
The momentum emanating from the body changed.
But the guards still did not release the crossed ax spears.
“I warn you again. This is the devil’s palace. “If you don’t dare to challenge the demon world, turn around and go down the tower right now.”
Deus’ figure disappeared from the sight of the two guards.
Immediately after that, the guards discovered Deus accompanying them.
“Why are you like this? Are you upset? From the looks of it, they all look like Roche’s kids… Did they tell you to do this? But if you die after listening to the Duke and behaving like this to the Demon King, it will be your loss.”
The guards stiffened and trembled.
I mustered up a handful of courage and spoke again.
“This is the Devil’s Tower…
“If you say one more word, you will die.”
At that time, a voice was heard from behind Deus.
“Didn’t you hear what the guards said? Please leave. “This is the devil’s palace.”
Deus turned around, unwrapping his arms around the guard.
The appearance of the Seven Dukes was visible.
“Seeing as the seven of us rushed over, it looks like the conversation is already over. So you’re going to kick me out?”
Among the dukes who were watching, Alex took a step forward.
“Sir,
I already know that you have great power. If you use your power to take us down and climb the tower to defeat the new demon lord, you will be helpless. But even so, the decision will not change. “The demon world has welcomed a new demon lord.”
“Do you mean dethronement?”
” yes.”
Deus looked back at the seven dukes.
I scratched my head. It was a strange feeling. I struggled
so hard to escape from the fate of being a demon lord, but
it felt strange to actually be kicked out like this.
The dukes avoided eye contact.
There was someone who was afraid. Or, he might make an indifferent face, pretending to be calm and calm.
“You don’t need me?”
” yes.”
Alex said as if cutting with a knife.
“Have you decided to make Nezar your king?”
“no. “We have found a new king.”
“A new king? Who is that? “Would you like to take a look at the countertop
?”
As Deus tried to walk, Alex blocked his path.
“Please just go back at this point.”
“Get out of the way.”
“You are no longer the king of the demon world.”
“So you will ignore what I say?” Alex looked straight at Deus
.
” yes.”
“Move. Before crushing the entire tower to pieces. “If you’re good at being that new demon lord or something, you’ll survive.”
“The new king is your daughter.”
“Migo?”
“Lord Deus, you were a truly lousy king. Since you ascended to the throne, the demon world has been in constant trouble. We lost Mahon because he abandoned his throne and went to the human world. It was according to Mahon’s orders, but the hole created by the eruption of Io caused the mugwort monsters to run wild. None of this was a small matter in our demon world. “But you were trapped in a
small space for 10 years under the pretense of becoming stronger .”
“that! “It was to revive Mahon.”
“Was it for the demon world? Or was it your own curiosity? Look into your eyes! “Who did you give that one eye to? Why do you have human eyes?”
