Chapter 390 – Deception

You can see a rocky mountain in front of you.
It is just an ordinary rocky mountain scattered in the wasteland.
“Here?”
“Yes.”
Celestia answered my question with a nod of her head.
In the meantime, she secretly and steadily found a route to infiltrate into the dwelling place of the demons while arguing with the great demons.
And that rocky mountain was where she decided to take her infiltration route.
“Look at that.”
Celestia pointed to the sky.
“That’s…”
A round machine was slowly descending from the sky.
It is expected to be a reconnaissance machine for demons that I have seen and broken.
Think of it like an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
As the round reconnaissance plane approaches, a hole opens in the wall of the rocky mountain, and the reconnaissance plane goes right into it.
And the passage through which the reconnaissance aircraft entered was immediately closed.
“It’s a reconnaissance aircraft going in for maintenance and mana supply.”
Celestia looked at him and said.
“Are the demons going in and out of there?”
“I don’t know about that. It may or may not be. The demons have created places like that all over the planet. That place is just one of them.”
It looked a bit small for a space battleship to come out, so I had doubts, but it makes sense if you say that there are many places like this.
“So you have to go in there?”
“Yes.”
Having said that, Celestia changed our skin color to light blue.
It is her power.
Celestia’s ability to create her alter ego allowed her to change her appearance as well.
She can even create powerful alter egos, so it’s not difficult for her to change the color of her skin.
Not only that, Celestia came out to the Great Devil Castle and made her alter ego.
She was an alter ego with no powers, just a mannequin, but it didn’t matter since she would be almost stuck inside the palace anyway.
If the demons couldn’t see me and Celestia, they might think it was strange, so I made that kind of move.
The leader of the demons didn’t worry too much.
They had a force stronger than us.
If there was such a heart, there should have been a reaction from the beginning without the need to hit the back of the head.
‘Hey Christina. I don’t know if he wants to keep quiet.’
He remembered Christina making a fuss over her, saying she would come along.
‘I don’t know if I’m taking my anger out on the wrong place again.’

An alter ego in the shape of Unho was sitting on the throne of the Great Devil.
Christina was glaring at the alter ego.
However, the alter ego is expressionless, so it is sitting.
Cristina was uncomfortable with her luck not taking her.
The appearance of Un-ho sitting on the throne with a solemn expression on his face looks disgusting.
Christina climbed onto her alter ego’s lap.
“Bong, Princess? What are you doing now…”
Eileen asked, surprised to see Cristina’s behavior in her.
“What are you doing… This nasty guy needs to be scolded.”
Having said that, Christina started scribbling on her alter ego’s face.
“Princess…S, what are you doing to Master’s face?”
“I’m not your teacher. He’s just a doll.”
Christina moved her pen in her hand, not paying attention to her fidgety Eileen.
On her alter ego’s face, she drew a crooked, funny beard, circles, and wrote the word idiot in large letters on her forehead.
Even so, Unho’s alter ego doesn’t react at all.
Didn’t even blink an eye.
Unho’s face became more and more funny at Christina’s graffiti.
“Puhaha! Eileen, look at this guy’s face! It’s really funny.”
Then Fatima came into the hall.
“Hee! Cristina-sama! What, what are you doing!”
“You don’t know what to do… Just by looking at it.”
Frightened, Fatima ran after her and tore Christina apart.

In order to infiltrate the suspicious-looking facility of the demons, it is of course not enough to have a skin color similar to that of the demons.
It is the power of deception prepared for that purpose.
I used the Power of Deception on both of us.
The Power of Deception has quite a variety of uses.
Among them, the one used against us is perception disruption.
It was an ability that made it so that even if they found us, they wouldn’t feel strange.
The location where the demons’ reconnaissance aircraft entered was at a fairly high place, but it didn’t matter to us.
While climbing the rocky mountain, I felt a minute wave sweep through us.
Maybe it’s something like a security sensor.
Still, nothing much happened.
The power of deception affected not only living creatures, but also the power to deceive even the machines of the demons.
It may feel similar to hacking, but it felt a little different.
Should I tell the machine to recognize that it is correct even if I enter a different password?
The power of deception makes it a natural phenomenon.
I must have waited for about an hour in a place that appeared to be the reconnaissance plane’s return entrance.
Another reconnaissance plane flew by.
-That’s right…
As the reconnaissance aircraft approached, the entrance to the entryway opened on the wall as before.
The round unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was not small, about 2 meters in diameter, so the entrance to the aisle was large enough for us to enter.
Before the entrance closed, we quickly put our bodies into the passage with the reconnaissance aircraft.
The moment we entered, we also felt a minute wave scanning us, but there was no reaction from the base.
We passed through dimly lit and metal passages and found a large hangar-like place where numerous reconnaissance planes were gathered.
Something like a mechanical arm could be seen moving and servicing the reconnaissance planes.
As I was walking in the hangar with Celestia, I ran into a demon who seemed to be a mechanic.
I searched lightly, but it wasn’t a powerful demon.
It had a weak magic power that was awakened, but it wasn’t great.
The demons seemed to be surprised for a moment when they saw us.
“What’s going on? What are you doing here?”
He spoke to us in an intimate manner.
The power of deception recognized us as familiar people, no wonder even though we were here.
“Uh, I was looking around. I’m going now.”
“Okay?”
“I’m going home for a while, can you guide me?”
“Guidance? I’m in trouble right now… But I still have work to do. Reed is off duty, so let’s talk to him.”
“Don’t talk about us, call us.”
“OK got it.”
He nods his head, unaware that I’m making a strange request, and manipulates something like a bracelet on my wrist.
“Lead. Can you come down for a minute?”
“Harriet, don’t you know I’m off work today?”
“So I’m asking you.
『Huh…Okay.』
As we wait like that, a male demon who looks a bit rogue approaches us.
He seems to be a demon called Reed.
He, too, seemed briefly surprised to see us, then he asked.
“What are you guys up to?”
“I want to go home.”
“Home? Are you going on vacation?”
“…Well, that’s right.”
“I’m envious of that… But to ask for guidance… You still don’t know the way?”
“I’m sorry. That’s how it happened.”
“Well…The past few years have been busy…So that could be the case. I can’t help it. Come with me.”
Reid didn’t feel strange even when I gave a rough answer, so he found the reason on his own, understood it, and took the lead.
Celestia and I were sent off by a demon named Harriet, and naturally followed Reed.
After leaving the hangar, we walked through a neatly made metal corridor.
Although they often ran into other demons, they passed by without incident and were able to get on the expected elevator.
The power of deception was strong.
‘This is great…’
Certainly, it was an authority suitable for covert infiltration.
He seemed to know why Celestia wanted it.
Of course, it doesn’t work on demons or demons with powerful magical powers like Rapha.
Even if it works, it will be a while.
I myself have experienced the authority that Gromgal uses.
At that time, it didn’t feel so threatening…But it was showing great power that was perfect for those who had weak ability to resist.
The elevator started falling down quickly.
I knew it because I had heard the story from Celestia beforehand.
That the dwelling place of the demons is underground.
“Whats up?”
I asked Reid lightly.
“Lately? Fortunately, Uno has calmed down, so he’s become a little more livable.”
“Uno… Bastard?”
“You don’t know bastard Uno?
“…”
While I was a little worried about whether I should beat him, the elevator opened with a cheerful sound to see if it had reached its destination.
The place we arrived was similar to a subway platform.
It looked cleaner and more sophisticated than the subway platform, but the empty tunnel in front gave me that feeling.
“Wait a minute. One minute… No, thirty seconds.”
Reed looks up into the air and says.
‘What are you looking at?’
As Reed said, shortly after, a round capsule the size of a train car came and stood in front of us.
The capsule was floating in the tunnel without touching the ground.
“Why are you standing there blankly?
As Reed seems familiar with, she boards the capsule and calls us.
Celestia and I met each other’s eyes for a moment and then stepped into the capsule.
