Scars throbbed across his face as Gromgal was informed by Martin that Unho had moved.
“This guy… Is fucking again.”
I can feel the rough scars on her fingertips.
I wonder if it will fade in 100 years.
The first time he fought it, Gromgal felt the fear of death.
No, he actually almost died.
And this scar is the wound from that time.
‘He’s targeting me.’
Gromgal felt it instinctively.
It might be because it looks the weakest among the current Great Devils.
‘Is it because of that too?’
Since he started doing this, we’ve been in contact with each other and it’s become a very nasty relationship. So it’s like that.
For a while, I was so nervous that I couldn’t sleep at night.
I knew that the demons were watching him… But what if I missed it?
It cuts the throat as it is.
As he began to worry, he couldn’t relax.
So it was nice that Bloa came.
Because if he is with Bloa, even if he is ambushed, he has hope that he can hold out until the other great demons and demons come to help.
Even after that, he felt intimidated every time he dealt with him.
Even receiving his gaze made me nervous.
His body stiffened.
In the end, he evaded him and dealt with Celestia.
‘Fuck rice…’
He remembers what the bastard said.
I don’t want to admit it, but I really became such a dick to him.
But lately it’s gotten a little better.
It’s because he blatantly moved.
‘Celestia. This bitch.’
That year is the problem.
Because I was attached to him…
The scariest thing of all.
As the number of battles increased, he was getting stronger and stronger.
It is not an illusion.
Gromgal…No, all the Prime Evils were feeling it.
Even though he had 3 powers, he was absurdly strong.
It was difficult to see that he was doing so simply with the power of authority.
‘Still growing up?’
He couldn’t think of anything else.
There is no existence that is not stagnant and is constantly growing.
One day, a period of stagnation will eventually come.
But it seems that he hasn’t come to his stagnation yet. A guy like that even has authority, so he’s getting his wings.
Whether the demons knew about it or not… They seemed to have no intention of dealing with it while playing a clever tug-of-war.
Thanks to them balancing things out, my life is prosperous… But I can’t help but not like the behavior of these guys who are wasting my aesthetic time.
The demons probably want the demon king Hellion to step in and sort things out.
Hellion is probably in a situation where he can’t move right now.
That’s not very good news.
In the end, what if Hellion stepped forward and sorted out the situation?
And what if he goes under Hellion?
With Hellion’s approval, it is highly likely that he will stand at the apex of demons.
Then Hellion will be able to manage the demons comfortably.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for the demons to keep the balance like this and keep him alive.
At this rate… I won’t be able to survive either way.
He knows he hates him a lot.
If it’s a normal Archdemon, he won’t let such a guy go.
‘I have to deal with it before Hellion comes out.’
If so, I had to create a variable here.
“Call Bloa.”

I once asked Celestia about the Demon King.
“How strong is the Demon King?”
The demon king had no choice but to be concerned.
It was also the biggest reason why I couldn’t act recklessly.
“…Well? He’s never fought him, so I don’t know.”
“Compared to me?”
“I admit that you are strong. But the Demon King will be stronger.”
“He said he’d never met you, so you know that?”
“Not only the demon king, but even the demons under him have powers that exceed that of the great devil. Hellion is the ruler of such people, and the ruler of this planet. He can draw and use the power of the stars. There’s no choice but to do it. If you’re stronger than Hellion… You’ll take his place.”
Star power…
I’ve heard something like that before, but I don’t know exactly what the power of the stars is.
That’s probably…
Terra created a barrier on this huge planet of demons and imprisoned demons and demons.
In a place called the moon in Pantera, he created his own residence called Heaven.
And even the huge labyrinth in Pantera, come to think of it, didn’t I say that I bought the labyrinth at the dimensional shop?
Either way, it’s something I can’t do.
Is it possible if I become a planet manager too?
When I talked with the planet’s consciousness on Earth in the past, I heard that the manager could draw on the power of the stars.
Even I can extract and use the energy of the Great Demon Castle.
However, the planetary energy and the great demonic energy…
Even if you think about it common sense, there is no comparison.
The amount of available energy is different.
If you think like that, even if you don’t get pushed back by force, you might be pushed back by holding power.
I also have a hero’s resting place if it’s maintenance power…
However, even if I enter the hero’s resting place, outside time passes, and I, who has many military family members, cannot use that method.
‘Still, if it’s Ignis…’
This is an issue that needs more thought.
‘Cosmos. What do you think?’
〈Well, wouldn’t the simple force itself be similar? You can have confidence in your power. Because you are a case of growing up extremely well that way. If you hadn’t applied the brakes in the middle, I would have become stronger than I am now…〉
In the middle, it seemed to me that I was talking about controlling the body from growing further.
If it hadn’t been controlled, wouldn’t it have easily exceeded 3 meters in height by now?
If that happened, I might have become a body that can’t hug my women.
No regrets.
Looking at my current state, it can grow, but it cannot become smaller.
My choice was right.
“Celestia, if the power of the demon king and demons is that strong, why do you leave the great demons alone?”
“They have nothing to gain from fighting us. Just because the forces of the demons are strong, even the great devils are not easygoers. The demons will have to sacrifice themselves to some extent. Also, only the demons cannot occupy the great devil castle.”
“Idiots can’t occupy the Great Demon Castle? Why?”
“Helena made it that way.”
If you can sacrifice yourself to eliminate the Great Demon… And not even capture the castle… Then it’s definitely meaningless.
The great devil is important, the devils are superficial.
“As for the demons, it is better to leave the demons alone. There is nothing for them to gain from this wasteland other than the castle. I will leave them alone for now, but if the moment of need comes, they will use the demons.”
“Is that…The war with Terra?”
“Perhaps… It will.”
“If we free Helena from her seal, won’t Hellion intervene?”
“Right. I will intervene.”
“…Couldn’t it be… That you handing over your authority to me is a story about dealing with the demon lord?”
After a moment of silence, Celestia finally nodded her head.
“I won’t tell lies…I thought so. But I couldn’t help it. Would you have handed over the authority if I asked you to hand it over to me, since I’m going to deal with the demon lord?”
“…”
That’s kinda…
Authority or Great Devil is quite useful.
And the power of the Great Demon Castle was also the only way to easily become strong in the Demon Realm.
Demon kings who have not yet grasped their fighting power inhabit the Demon Realm, and I needed to become stronger.
Rather than assuming that the demon king was weak, it was better to act with the assumption that he was strong.
“I rate your potential highly. In fact, you are still growing. I don’t mean that you have to deal with Hellion completely alone. If you deal with Helena and me together, even the demon king will not be able to do anything.
It is a story that Helena needs to balance her powers to the point where she won’t be captured again.
“I am grateful to you. Now, even if you break your promise, I will not be able to do anything. But, Unho, you showed that you did not break the relationship with me and kept your promise. Now I completely trust you.”
There’s nothing to say about her giving up power to me with her purpose.
Just like she said, if I don’t want to deal with it, I’ll have to hand over the authority…Or I’ll have to get out of her plan right now.
It can be seen that she also had an adventure of her own.
If I hadn’t been a sane human, Celestia’s Great Demon Castle would have fallen into my hands.
Maybe I’m a surprisingly nice guy?
What… In fact, the biggest reason was that she had the key to her return.
She’s… Pretty too.

I headed to their Great Demon Castle with Celestia.
And, as always, they were out to meet us.
During the years of fighting these guys, I have never seen the demon lord.
Would he have judged that the situation was insignificant enough that he did not have to step forward?
Or, there may be things you need to prioritize over resolving this situation.
Maybe it’s a situation where you can’t get out.
Either way is good news for me.
I might face it someday, but I didn’t want to pull that future.
I wanted to join after preparing as much as possible.
Although the Demon King may not be as strong as expected.
Rather than being caught off guard.
Still trying to do something hard.
Even if you have diarrhea later, it will be less unfair.
And if everything goes according to plan, this long war will end.
