Chapter 858 – Episode 789 – The Madness of Fanatics Spreads Deep Into the Honma Tribe! (5)
The ruling class of the Honma tribe, who made a deal with them first, saying that they would serve me if I accepted their offer.
When I asked what the proposal was because I thought the sight was admirable, Prania let out a small sigh, showed a bitter expression, and began to explain the situation of the Honma tribe.
“It’s embarrassing to say, but we, the Honma tribe, are the weakest tribe among the demon tribe. 10th out of 12 tribes. Even though the two tribes are weaker than us, they are tribes that should be viewed as unusual cases rather than weak.”
This means that, excluding the two tribes that are unusual cases, the Honma tribe is actually the weakest tribe among the demon tribes.
Perhaps because they were people who were fighting each other even though the situation was not good, a feeling of a little resentment could be seen in the expressions of the top-level demons who revealed their situation.
Hmm… I was expecting there to be more than 5 or 6. There are 12 tribes…
But even though they help each other and survive, they are fighting for power among themselves. These demons are kind of stupid, aren’t they?
Even in an environment where communication is so difficult, humans and elves seem to live well on their own without fighting or rebelling. But why are the guys who should stick together the most fight?
“It’s a power… Could it be that other tribes are waging war?”
“There are very few cases where large-scale conflicts such as war arise… But small-scale conflicts over monsters, resources, etc. Often occur. It is the law of the demons that the weak must follow the strong, so in such a conflict, a weak tribe like us is a bit…”
Ho… No, was there such a rule? Is this a rule I like?
Well, regardless of whether I like it or not, it is absurd that people who are supposed to cooperate follow the law of the law of the fittest.
… No. Rather, in some ways, it may be more natural for them to compete for power like this…?
Essentia… No, because life forms in this universe experience changes in their emotions depending on the surrounding energy.
The demons who live in places where there is a shortage of Eser may not be able to tolerate each other’s well-being like humans.
Of course, the degree will vary depending on the concentration and constitution of Eser. In any case, since they are influenced by Eser, humans and elves will be reluctant to engage in big fights, even if it is a fight between individuals.
Really, separated energy has too many disadvantages. The Eser remaining on the ground must quickly circulate and be replaced by the ether, which is a fusion of Eser and Tesser.
Of course, the ether is an energy mixed with tesser transformed by my desire, so the sexual desire and lewdness of the females will become absurd. Still, I think it will create a much better environment than now…
Ah. No. Isn’t it more urgent for demons to bring energy to the demon spirit than to end the cycle of Eser?
If Eser is left alone, it will naturally cycle and be transformed into ether by Qliphoth. If the ether created in this way cannot spread, it is completely meaningless…
… For a moment. Come to think of it… In the end, the fundamental cause of the power struggle between demons is the environment of demon spirits lacking energy, right?
If there’s an abundance of things to gain around you, there’s no need to fight over monsters or resources, right?
Of course, greedy or idiot-like people may be different. That’s right, you just have to treat those guys like criminals…
Hmm, somehow it feels like the role of my negative numbers has become more important. I need to quickly find out where to install the World Tree’s clone, right?
“If you look at it individually, I don’t think that our Honma tribe lags behind other tribes… But since our power is weakened, we are often outnumbered when a conflict occurs.”
“Puhuhuh. So what you are offering is… To accept the Demon King’s religion and ask for help in times of conflict with other tribes?”
“No. I have no intention of spreading my hands that far. No matter how much there is a conflict between forces, the other tribes are all the same demons. There is no point in winning by borrowing God’s power.”
Oh~ Prania… I like the way she looks, but her thoughts are also quite amazing, aren’t they?
So, in the end, the matter between the demons will be resolved within the demons, right? Even though their situation is not one to consider such things.
A female with such amazing thoughts. I feel like I want to praise this for some reason…
Tsk tsk. Well, for now, let’s just keep listening to what they’re talking about.
“For us, what is important is not the fight between forces, but what happens afterward… Since you said that you came to save the entire demon tribe, you are planning to spread the demon religion to other tribes, right?”
“So it is. I’m not particularly trying to force it. “I would like not only you, but all demons, to join the Demon King Church that serves me.”
“Then, even if the entire demon race falls out of rank, we, the soul demon race, will continue to be a weak force… In that case, we have only one proposal.”
As if to confirm my thoughts, Prania asked if I was trying to spread the Demon Religion to all the Demons.
There, upon hearing my answer, Prania took in her breath, and with an expression on her face as if she were watching me, she carefully handed over her offer.
“We, the Honma tribe, will help spread the Demon King’s religion to other tribes, so I hope the Demon King will recognize us so that we are not pushed aside by other tribes.”
“Recognition? What does that mean?”
“That’s literally it. If the entire demon tribe deviates from the ranks, we, the soul demon tribe, will be pushed out by other tribes both as demons and as believers of the demon religion… To prevent such a thing from happening, I hope that the demon king will support the position of the soul demon tribe within the demon tribe.”〈 Br〉
Hmm~? So… When I rule over all the demons later, you’re asking me to help them, so they won’t be ignored?
Hmm~? Prania… Do you really think that from now on I won’t pay much attention to them, who are weak?
Phew. What are they? Are these guys more worried than you think? I can’t believe I’m already worried about things in the distant future.
There is no way a god would discriminate among his followers. The demons who became my females are all equal females, regardless of their power?
Of course, there are exceptions such as negative numbers and sound fields, and there may be differences in each person’s age and role… But I have no intention of discriminating based on power.
Tsk tsk. These guys are fun, right? The highest level demons of the soul demon race? Knowing that they are demon followers of the first demon religion, they are trying to establish an advantageous position in demon society…
Does this feel kind of cute? Should we just do whatever we want and recognize it as the fundamental force of the Demon King’s Church?
… What? But… Now that I think about it, it’s a little strange, isn’t it?
Does this feel like something is a bit excessive? Why are you already appearing in such a low manner?
“Let me ask you one question. Prania. Why are you talking as if I rule over the demons? Even if I admit it, not all demons will be convinced, right?”
“Well… He is so powerful that he calls himself a god, so even if I don’t understand it, I have no choice but to follow him, right?”
“Hmm? Strange… Have I shown you my efforts? You probably don’t know the extent of my power yet. How can you be so sure?”
“Hmm… The higher our ranks, the more sensitive we are to the power and energy of others… Because of this, we clearly feel how powerful the Demon King is…”
What? Not just feeling afraid, but feeling the extent of my power?
Fuha. Did high-ranking demons have such characteristics? I feel a little embarrassed that I was acting like this on purpose?
“To tell the truth, if we actually met the Demon King, and it turned out to be worse than we thought… I was planning on just ignoring the Demon King Church or whatever… But that thought disappeared as soon as I saw him…”
“Tsk tsk. Did you do that? “You made an unexpected threat.”
“I don’t think it’s a threat… And since we’re talking about it, I have a feeling that the Demon Lord is hiding his true nature right now, and that the people who came with him are not demons… I don’t think there’s any need to hide it, but… “
Oh my god… You noticed that I was acting and that my negatives were in disguise?
It doesn’t seem like a particular skill, but is it possible to understand that much? Is this an ability that seems to have a passive detection skill for nuns’ livestock?
Phew. For some reason, I thought the males were calm too… It seems like they felt my power and lowered their tails.
Hmm. What do you like? They say there is no need to act for no reason. Where should I stay comfortably?
“Puhuhuh. Everyone heard it, right? They say it’s okay to be comfortable, so let’s take off the things that make us uncomfortable.”
“”Yes, Demon King♥ I understand♥””
My followers laugh as if my words are amusing and take off their horse masks and headbands.
When my negative beasts, including humans, elves, and divine beasts, revealed their bare faces, Prania and her top demons swallowed their saliva and looked a little nervous.
“… I looked at the ears and wondered if it was possible… There are not only humans but also elves… And is that person possibly a divine beast?”
“Well, that’s right. “They are all my lovely wives and high-ranking women of the Demon King’s Church.”
“It seems like they are the same divine beast, even if the magnitude of their power is different, but even such a divine beast serves the Demon Lord… It seems like he is a much more amazing person than I thought. The Demon King…”
Phew. From what you’re saying, I can vaguely sense that they’re not demons, but I’m not sure what they are?
It seems like the size of his strength and energy isn’t clear. It seems like the ability is somewhat lacking in accuracy.
But. The passive ability may not perform that well… If he is insensitive, even if he is a top-level demon, he may not be able to distinguish between me and negative numbers.
Hmm… Okay. If the highest-level demons are like that… Akasha, a high-level demon, was probably at a level where she only felt that she was somehow powerful, right?
And the mid-level demons would have been at the level of tilting their heads… The low-level demons would have been at a level where they couldn’t feel anything at all…
Hmm. Okay. I think I know roughly what kind of ability it is.
“Puhuhuh. Sorry for deceiving you~ It’s hard to explain that humans and elves came to save the demons~”
“It’s okay. For us demons, the existence of humans and elves is a little difficult to tolerate… But the demon king has such tremendous power and ability that we can’t argue with such things.”
“It makes me feel a lot more at ease when you say that~ Then, I hope you treat my negative beasts as honored guests of the Honma tribe, regardless of their race?”
“Of course, we will do that… But it may be misunderstood by anyone other than the highest level demons like us, so I think it would be better to keep the disguise on.”
“Okay? Then there is nothing I can do. “I will take care until the entire Honma tribe joins the Demon King’s Church.”
I don’t know how the presence of humans and elves is felt among the demons…
Well, there’s no need to make them feel hostile. Until all the demons become believers, I will have to keep my disguise.
Rather, it is the ruling class of the Honma tribe who clearly understand our identity and yet cooperate so well…
Phew. If you’re being this polite, there’s nothing I can do about it. Because the soul demons are the first demons I will conquer. Should we give him the treatment he deserves?
“Well, anyway, it’s okay. Are you asking for help so that your soul demons will not be ignored from now on? In return, will you become passionate followers of our Demon King’s Church?”
“That’s right. If possible, I hope the Demon King himself will warn the leaders of other demons whenever they try to cross the line.”
“That’s not a big deal. Good. Then, I will personally strengthen the Honma tribe so that they are not looked down upon by other tribes.”
When I showed off the horse’s cock as if to tell people to trust me, Prania and the top-class demons of the Honma tribe raised their mouths, as if they were a little relaxed.
Then, the moment I sensed a strange sense of discomfort in Prania’s expression, she immediately changed her expression and started talking as if she wanted something from me.
“Well, since you have accepted my offer… There is a condition for informing the Demon King of the Demon King’s religion… No, there is something I would like to ask of you.”
“Puhuhuh. What. “Is there something else I would like to ask you besides a suggestion?”
“Yes. Since we don’t know the Demon King well yet… I hope you’ll listen to it if it’s not difficult for you.”
It’s like asking someone to be a little more generous after giving you permission to do something. Prania’s top-class demons bow their heads with expressions that make them think this is the right time.
Seeing the slightly cocky yet cute appearance of these demons, I forgot the discomfort I had just felt from Prania and smiled at them.
“Puhuh… Anyway. I don’t think anyone would say they are high-ranking people, but they are high-ranking people. Well, okay. “Tell me what you’re asking for.”
“Thank you. Then, first, it is missionary work within the city… That is…”
As if trying to avoid offending my feelings as much as possible. Prania lays out the conditions she wanted to say to me in a polite manner.
I don’t know if it’s my imagination or not. For some reason, the bodies of Prania and the other female demons seemed to be strangely twitching.
