Chapter 552 – 551. Welcome to Hell Britain (1)
Time goes by again.
The large-scale crusade was, as always, a crusade, and the crusade ended with the crushing defeat of the crusaders. Of course, it was not a sane army to begin with, and not only me, but the conquering army was also a crusade that would end in destruction, so their destruction was inevitable.
After three days, it was roughly sorted out.
I, too, have cleared up most of the mischief I committed in the demon world. I especially paid extra attention to Lunaus. That’s right, I knew it would happen from the beginning, but I didn’t knock it out or stop it, and I even just watched and told it to do it if I could.
Sending it despite knowing the outcome is the same as ignoring it.
In fact, I am exactly the same as Nordence in this respect.
I know the result, I know I will be beaten, and I say that such sacrifices are unavoidable for the result I want.
Of course – perhaps this is a sign that my humanity is slowly starting to fade. This is what I thought.
“So, you came to me?”
“I don’t think it’s time for my humanity to fade yet.”
“… Clarke, there’s no need to worry, right?”
And when I told Ilias about my concerns during my downtime to get counseling, Ilias said there was nothing to worry about.
“Clarke, when I punished the humans, did I punish them because I had humanity, or… Did I punish them according to established rules?”
“… I didn’t understand the question.”
And at my answer, Ilias smiled softly and pulled me close. Unlike in the past when he called me Champias(?), The current Ilias gave me the answer to my concerns as if soothing me with a softness and maturity that I had never seen before.
“To put it simply, if in the past I almost fell as I felt like I was betrayed by humans because I had feelings for them, now I have feelings for people, but regardless of whether they gave me affection or not, I don’t know how many times those people will turn away. The same goes for you, when the moment of inevitable corruption approaches, humanity is nothing but a force that resists established laws and ultimately has a repulsive nature.”
“… So, is this a chaotic force that rebels against established rules?”
“Your humanity is not dead yet. You can continue to pay the price for going beyond the rules. If you think it’s necessary, you can do that.”
“… In other words, is there anything worth going beyond the rules for you right now?”
“Not really, except about you.”
I’m saying this honestly and bluntly. When I was a little embarrassed about that, he smiled brightly and came up to me and gave me a warm hug with his wings.
“Yes, in fact, just because you can do that, you really are not worthy of being a god. The feeling that your humanity is disappearing is partly due to your biological characteristics… And above all, from your past life to your current life, the potential of human beings is limited. Even though you believe in it, you have an extreme dislike for humans themselves, right?”
“If I were to be honest, it is an intelligent being.”
“Anyway. Don’t worry too much about it. The more you learn about intelligent beings, the more you can see their potential, but it is a natural step to ignore the crap of an individual or a group. It’s natural, so don’t worry too much.”〈 Br〉
“… Surprising? That answer would be something only our baron’s crony would say.”
And Ellis, who drank it, also expressed surprise at that opinion, but Ilias shot back at Ellis bluntly, as if it was no big deal.
“That woman would just press it to death when she didn’t have time to worry about it. If she thought it would be harmful to her husband. And you know how shitty an intelligent being is, right?”
“… I have nothing to say because it’s true. Haha, really, if you’re assigned to the welfare department, you can see the bottom of a human being?”
That’s self-harm.
Anyway, all public officials are like this.
That’s not my scope. Go to another department. That’s not something I can answer. If you ask why I didn’t do it when someone else did it, it’s because I’m not that person. So please go to him. It’s an extreme job where you spit out these kinds of words like a parrot and get harassed by complaints.
What’s funny is that people who make a living by borrowing other people’s money mention my taxes and scold those who make a living off of my taxes, asking if they can’t do this. Don’t they know that they are in fact parasites who live off of those taxes?
Well, there are many times when civil servants handle their work like shit, but that’s just how civil servant organizations are.
But even so, if you force yourself to do something that doesn’t work, will it be used?
Anyway.
“That’s what happens when you get to the bottom of an intelligent creature, whether you like it or not. So don’t worry too much, Clark. Even if a situation arises where you stop being yourself, you’re ready, right?”
“… You knew.”
“I know what you’re anxious about. And I’m sure he knows your importance. Thor and Loki seem to have already noticed, Ares has noticed, Hestia knows, Ereshkical, Mortus, here I also know that.”
As each day passes, Demon Sultan’s interference becomes more and more severe. Was it intentional?
It’s still at a level where it can be easily defeated.
…
“To put it simply, there is something lurking inside my consciousness.”
“… Is that something that can shake up your identity?”
“High probability. More than 90%. It has been recognized for some time, and that is why Limbo was opened.”
That’s why I opened up the hellish space I experienced to heroes. Of course, I don’t think they can stop me.
But…
If it is not in a [Normal] State, the story is different.
I don’t know who did this or created this consciousness, but it is already hidden deep within my consciousness, making it difficult to extract, and by the time I recognize it, the [Virus] Is already dormant in my consciousness to an irreversible degree.
And, since I know that this is not a normal state, I expect the output to be completely different from my usual self.
And, whether it can be destroyed is a completely different question.
Gawain, Hector, Roland, Mandricardo.
In addition, Gareth, Gaheris, and Galahad.
The reason why I did not include my students, my subordinates, or the women involved is simple. Because you don’t know what will happen.
It was because I was wary of uncertainty and did not know what they would do to me because they had grown along with me from the beginning as a ritual unit, from the moment I returned from the expedition until now.
“… It’s a rare sight, Baron. Are you afraid?”
“… Okay.”
I didn’t deny it. And, I feel angry at someone who can do this and attack me without my knowledge. And, work to remove that dirt.
A little restart work…
In other words-
“I have to die once.”
“… You don’t just say things like that and think that nothing will happen when you go back, right? They are all divine beings and are probably related to you. And what about those [Heroes] Who have to kill you?”
“… If we don’t do it, the world will fall.”
“I guess so. But, you have to properly prepare your mind for that. And, there is someone who can help you in that regard, right? There was someone you intentionally didn’t want to see until now, right?”
“Morgan.”
“Yes, that’s right. At least, she would be very happy and help you when she says that she has to kill you once, even if it means ’emotion’, right?”
That’s a bit scary.
“Besides that, there’s something you need to do, right?”
“…”
“When you get back, comfort them well. They’ll all be so upset just now that they found out. And your daughter too.”
“… Ah.”
… Tsk.
In the end, I guess there are no such things as secrets…
The moment I say it out loud, it ceases to be a secret. Even more than that…
“There is still someone I need to meet.”
“Who?”
“The Odyssey is imprisoned here.”
“Oh, you’re talking about that friend.”
Only then did the Demon God reacts to this conversation and speak to me.
“By any chance, did you fuck that friend?”
“He tried to slit my throat.”
“Your neck? You won’t die if you cut it off.”
That’s right. Of course, he was also the one who set himself on fire, and he was the one who helped put the self-immolation on the guillotine. Even though it was natural that he was wary of me, he was the one who joined hands with Dawn Bringer and tried to kill me.
Why do you ask so much about its existence?
Actually, I prepared something to use someday.
“First, that woman joined hands with Bringer, who was trying to cut off my head, and put my clone on a guillotine in Phrygia, put new restrictions on it, and threw it into the demon world. I would have sent it to you directly, right?”
“… Uh, that’s it. I guess I’ll have to see it for myself?”
“Let’s start with the story. So you’re a succubus?”
“Yes.”
“…?”
“I became a succubus. That.”
No, why?
Of course, the moment I heard that, I felt a huge culture shock. She’s a knight of Phrygia, too, a hero, but she’s been here for a while.
Although it may have turned black as a demon, I thought the race would not change, but what?
“By any chance, did you curse that?”
“… I did something similar to a curse, right?”
“… If you throw a curse or something like that into the demon world, you’ll be in big trouble. The demon energy will eat into your body, and it will immediately turn you into a monster.”
I guess so.
“It doesn’t really matter. Well, it doesn’t really matter to me whether that bitch is fucked or not. I said I would return her in about 15 years, but I never said I would return her as a human.”
After being so wary of not being human, you yourself ended up not being human?
Well, that’s a story without any comedy.
“Are you in prison?”
“… No, I’ve adapted well and am I eating well and living well now. I’m doing well… In my own right?”
…
Really crazy bitch.
What happened?
I don’t really want to bother you with that, but I’m going to use it to help me with what I’m going to do later anyway.
After all, you can work for free for 15 years.
“… Well, that’s it. I don’t see you looking like you’re living comfortably, so please guide me.”
“… Tsk, it should be protected as it is, but if it’s to the point of incurring your resentment, then it’s okay.”
I bow my head and express my gratitude to the Demon God’s generous attitude of leaving it up to me to handle the situation, since he was thrown here to incur my grudge.
Of course – I won’t let you stay here for long anyway.
My eyes caught sight of Tagbo, who had sprouted wings, horns, and a tail, and who had just become a rat succubus and was carrying out various tasks using a pen. And, that bully makes eye contact with me.
It hardens.
And-
“Do you want to destroy your SAN so that you don’t even think about throwing salt on the ground, or do you want to just sit there quietly?”
Immediately increase the gravity to the maximum to subdue the guy who is preparing to run away – and ask towards it.
Where are you running, you bitch?
