Chapter 670 – Persuasion

“… So are you preparing to invade Panthera again?”

“I couldn’t help it… My opinion didn’t matter.”

“Your opinion didn’t matter? You said you became the owner of the stars?”

Becoming the owner and manager of a star is not simply about holding a small amount of power.

Helena became a transcendent being that escaped the limitations of living things.

When she accessed Pantera as a demon avatar, she received Terra’s permission, and although she was weak, she briefly used the power of a star.
That’s why she knows how powerful it is.

Terra, who had tried to destroy Zephyria, did not retreat from the planet Zephyria for nothing.
She ignores Helena’s opinion and proceeds with her work?

I didn’t understand.

“Do you know that with great power comes great responsibility?”

“…?”

At first, I thought it was some kind of nonsense.

“No matter how powerful I am, it is not right to ignore the will of the public. That is no different from a dictator.”

“Dictatorship… Dictatorship?”

Strictly speaking, it’s not wrong, but…

“So… So you followed the will of the public?”

Helena nods her head as if it were obvious.

“…”

I was speechless.

At first glance, it seems like the right thing to do.

When I was young, I also grew up learning that dictatorship is a bad thing, so it’s not like I don’t know what she’s talking about.

From the people’s perspective, it could be said to be a true leader’s mindset…

〈What is a true leader? Are you stupid? No, is it a hogun? 〉

Seeing as Cosmos said that, it seems I wasn’t the only one who thought that.

“… Even if the public’s will is Terra’s revenge, I still have one problem to solve.”

“Problem that needs to be solved?”

Helena, despite her own intentions, saw Zephyria’s policy move toward Terra’s revenge.

Artificial life form Ruth… In other words, the devils were on my mind.

Let’s say they invade Pantera again to get her revenge

What is the crime of the devils who will be at the forefront?

It was obvious that the demons would be used as consumables in the Panthera invasion.

And unlike Helena, the Zephyrians thought it was natural to use demons in that way.

Numerous companies in Zephyria were producing and selling all kinds of artificial life forms based on Helena’s research. Maybe that’s why there was a strong perception that the devil was an object.

So, what is the treatment of demons like?

Although the demons were being exploited quite cruelly, they had an “Obedience factor” Engraved on them from the moment they were created, so they could not defy Zephyrian.

Helena thought it was wrong.

She felt guilty and could not bear to see the artificial life created through her own research being treated in such a way.

Helena thought that even if Zephyria took her revenge on Terra, she had to start by making it right first.

She promoted the construction of a huge military city on Earth under the pretext of preparing for war with Terra.

That huge city now called the Great Devil Castle.

There was no one who would object to the fact that Zephyria, the highest authority and genius in magic engineering, was creating a military city. Rather, she welcomed it with open arms.

And as Helena built the Great Demon Castle, she secretly planted a device that could eliminate the devil’s “Submissive factor.”

She thought that the reason why Zephyrian treated demons so carelessly was because of the “Submissiveness” That was instilled in them.

Helena hoped that the demons would regain their free will before it was too late, and that she would be on equal footing with the Zephyrians.

“I just wanted the demons to be recognized as members of Zephyria. But I never thought something like that would happen…”

The Great Devil Castle, a huge military city that embodies Helena’s wishes, has been completed.

And let’s activate the Great Devil Castle…

A catastrophe occurred.

There is no way a demon whose obedience factor has been removed will obediently obey Zephyrian.

The devils started a riot.

No, it went beyond a riot and led to a situation reminiscent of war.

Many demons and Zephyrians lost their lives.

Helena had not thought about the wrath of the demons who had treated her as an object of the Zephyrians for a long time.

‘Maybe it’s because I only do research… I feel like I’m losing my sense of reality.’

I think I have a good head…

I understand a little.

She was born with a golden spoon and rose to the top, so how could she ever see the ugliness of a true human being or the bitterness of her life?

Of course, the war between the Zephyrians and the devil ended with the victory of the Zephyrians.

It was a fight that had no chance of winning in the first place.

This is because, unlike the Zephyrians, the demons who were slaves had no foundation on the planet Zephyria to begin with.

Helena was distraught that such a catastrophe had occurred because of her.

Zephyria’s council and public, as well as Helena’s brother Hellion, questioned her.
And she honestly admits that she did it with good intentions in the hope that the treatment of demons would change.

Helena received considerable criticism from Zephyrian.

It was only natural that so many Zephyrians would die for the Zephyrians’ property, slaves, and petty demons.

All of Zephyrian’s resentment was poured out on Helena.

Hellion, who was the commander-in-chief of the Zephyrian army, attempted to exterminate the demons that rebelled against the Zephyrians.

Helena couldn’t watch that.

She gave up her position as master of the star to Helion on the condition that the demons not be exterminated and imprisoned herself here to atone.

“Well… You just handed it over?”

Even though it wasn’t my job, I felt frustrated, as if I had eaten about 10 sweet potatoes.

“The people of Zephyria, the council, everyone… No longer wanted me to be the master of the stars. Many people died because of me… What shame would I have sitting in the position of the master of the stars? “

“…”

When I saw Helena’s sullen face, I felt a pain in her head.
If she had just ignored everything and pushed back, such a disaster wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

However, her clumsy sense of guilt and good intentions created such a large-scale disaster.

‘Cosmos… Could this kind of person become the owner of the stars?’

〈 I don’t know for sure because I haven’t seen any samples other than Terra… I guess not all star owners have the same tendencies, right? Well… But it’s still a bit harsh. I think the history books should be changed to say that she is not the goddess of engineering, but the goddess of protection. 〉

Helena sighed and said, whether she knew my frustrated feelings or not.

“… Now you know, right? Many people lost their lives because of me. I need to atone.”

“…”

It’s absurd that a human who once occupied the position of master of the stars is giving up that position and is making atonement by being stuck here…

Helena’s past is none of my business.

The important thing is the present.

My purpose is to return to the planet Panthera.

So she found her.
The problem is that Helena seems to have passed on her power to Hellion.
Her small hope is that she has risen to the position of manager and owner of the planet through genius alone, so it doesn’t seem like she will be of much help.

Aside from feeling disappointed in the not-so-satisfying situation, Helena doesn’t seem to have any intention of escaping.

“… Do you know Celestia?”

“Celestia? Are you sure… You mean Celie?”

“That’s right.”

In the hologram record I saw while searching for traces of Helena in the past, I remembered that Helena called her Celestia by her nickname, Celie.

“Of course I know. That child was created with my genes, so how could I not know? How is that child? I couldn’t even say goodbye properly because the situation was changing so quickly…”

“Celestia wants to see you.”

I looked for Helena to return to the planet Panthera, but judging from her personality, it didn’t seem like even her seeds would work if I told her the reason.
She felt the need to take advantage of Celestia, who she was close to.

“I want to see Celestia too, but… I can’t leave here for personal reasons.”

“…”

Helena was resolute.

I quickly conveyed the current situation to Celestia through a raid message.

Celestia, along with Sunni and Chaos, had already escaped to the surface with Veronica and were secretly moving to our Great Devil Castle.

「Celestia: I didn’t know. Helena was trapped by herself…”

Helena’s refusal to escape seemed to be an unexpected situation for Celestia.

Celestia, who is already moving on the ground, cannot come here.
Looking at Helena’s attitude now, it didn’t seem like there would be any sharp moves even if Celestia came.

‘… Taking Helena, who gave up her hallowed powers to Hellion, means there’s no way to get to her planet of Panthera ‘poof.’ It doesn’t seem like it will happen… Is there just a way to give up on Helena and break the core of the planetary barrier like Terra said?’

While I was thinking about that, Claire intervened and spoke to Helena.

“Helena. I understand what you mean. But you can’t stay here and ignore reality.”

“What does it mean to ignore reality?”

“Zephyria is already ruled under the dictatorship of Hellion. The Zephyria Council was disbanded by Hellion a long time ago. And Hellion created this cruel city. You, who have pitied the devil, are turning a blind eye to the horrors of this breeding city. Are you planning on doing it?”

“Heh, Hellion is a dictatorship… It can’t be… And a breeding city? What… Do you mean…”

After hearing Claire’s words, Helena was confused and displayed numerous hologram screens in front of her.

And the content on the countless screens passes quickly in less than a second.

Helena quickly scans the screens? It seems like they are fact-checking what Claire said.

Neru and Rania quietly chuckle when they see Helena like that.

“The screen changes so quickly, are you seeing everything?

“Isn’t that just for show? That woman ruled this world in the past? I just can’t believe it…”

Rania doesn’t seem to trust Helena.

Honestly, I had some doubts too.

Whether Rania said that or not, Helena looked at the data on the hologram screen as if she were fascinated. And her face became increasingly pale.

Just by looking at her face, which changes every moment, I could tell that she was visibly agitated.

“Hell, Hellion really did this…!!”

Helena was astonished at what she had seen and jumped up from her throne.
