Chapter 800 – 91 Days – Scattered Relationships Become One
“Is this a demon that Princess Heojeop knows?”
“No, it’s different. I don’t know! I don’t know!”
Hedone pointed her finger at Asmodeus, who was frightened.
“Didn’t I explain it earlier? They are demons I met during time travel.”
“In that case, the princess only knows each other.”
“But, unlike the bugs on the ground, I perfectly understand the concept of time travel. I mean, I understand that they know me. Kkkk!”
Asmodeus snorted happily, looked back at the princess and Hedone, and placed his hand on the door with a large metal plate attached.
“Are you someone who has a personality that makes you feel like you want to be squeezed a little bit?”
“It was worse when I met him. He was a prison guard, so it was worse than it is now.”
“You two are so loud! If you’re going to whisper quietly, say it secretly, so I can’t hear you properly!!!”
Kang Kang Kang with the pitch black boots you are wearing! After kicking down his door violently, Asmodeus sighed and swung his whip sharply.
After finally tearing off her large metal plate, she tossed her hair behind her and waved her hands.
“Old World Research Society. To be honest, it’s a nostalgic name.”
Asmodeus entered the appropriately sized door and turned to look at the princess. The princess took her Hedone by the hand and went in after her.
“I was a little surprised why it was called a research group.”
A warehouse full of dust. Even as she looked at the space that could not be called more than that, Hedone felt a sense of wonder.
“The things hanging here are maps, right? And there are emblems of famous families. Oh my, there are also books.”
Asmodeus chuckles as he looks at Hedone, who stretches out her hand and very carefully points to what she can see.
“I stupidly thought she was going to hold and touch me, but she just points with her finger.”
“I can see that it is a precious collection of materials. I can say that I feel a sense of wonder. Really…”
“Most of the data here was collected by Virgilia. The bugs on the ground probably have no idea how long their history has been being observed so closely? Kkkk!”
Asmodeus smiled happily, but that smile did not last forever.
It quickly turned into bitterness, and she placed her hand on a book stuck on her bookshelf, played with it for a moment, and then turned her back on the princess.
“You also don’t know where Ceres is.”
“… It may be a pity for the bug god, but I have not received any communication from Virgilia, who is said to have come to the Demon World.”
It was a word that conveyed deep sadness.
“If you really came to the Demon World, tell me…”
Asmodeus finished speaking and let out a long breath.
The fact that Ceres came to the demon world is absolutely not a lie. It must have been a difficult and painful moment for her, and Asmodeus’ bitterness was doubled by the fact that he could not be of any help to her and could not be her sanctuary.
“The thing here is…”
The princess calmly looked around her room and, looking at Asmodeus’ surprised eyes, she grabbed an object with her hand and pressed it.
“How dare you now—”
“Did you make this item?”
Asmodeus, who was about to get angry, stopped his hand. What the princess pointed to was a leaf beyond the glass. The princess then pointed to several stuffed creatures in a huge glass tube.
Animals and plants commonly found on earth filled most of the huge room. The princess, who remembered better than anyone else what Ceres’ room was like, was close to her gamble, but she had no choice but to throw the dice.
“Why do you say that?”
“Ceres always drew pictures and recorded or described in detail what he saw with his own eyes, but he rarely brought samples like this.”
The princess smiled and looked through the large glass at the well-preserved creatures. Then at the end she looked at you covering her mouth in surprise.
“Aren’t these goblins and orcs?”
“Ha, as expected, he speaks like the god of bugs.”
Asmodeus shrugged his shoulders, but did not deny it.
“They are the creatures you call goblins and orcs.”
“It seems like they call you by a completely different name?”
“Of course. Hehe, these are test subjects. To be precise, they are test subjects that failed.”
Asmodeus shook his fingers and his expression began to regain his vitality.
“The ancient demons had powers and skills that even we today cannot even imagine. Hehe, they could touch the human body without any worries.”
“So what you’re saying is that these goblins and orcs were originally humans, but they were created according to the science of ancient demons? It seems like what they said about genes is true.”
“… What now? How can something like the god of bugs understand the concept of genes? Understanding things like blood would be the limit of intelligence…?”
“Didn’t you say you traveled through time?”
The princess’s expression was calm.
“I once became acquainted with someone who knew how to use the countless techniques of the ancient demons. Although I couldn’t understand it right away, there was knowledge and wisdom that I had memorized diligently.”
The princess looked straight at the creature in front of her with her fingers.
“There is a complicated story about radioactivity, but I heard a story about a demon trying to create something called HSG.”
“Oh my god… So far, countless brothers and sisters have participated in this research group, but no one has such an opinion… No, but that explains everything. Rather than creating something from nothing, it is a form of an ancient demon race. Thinking…”
“For me, who doesn’t understand exactly, that’s what the ancient demons said. It’s about making ordinary humans a little stronger, stronger from birth. From that point of view, it’s not that I can’t understand the appearance of orcs and goblins. “It’s definitely not nonsense without any basis. Why didn’t I think about it until now?”
As the princess tapped her glass with her finger, Asmodeus covered his mouth in silence.
“If the increase in violence and strength is maximized, wouldn’t humans end up like this? Haha, of course, my knowledge is limited, so I don’t know about the skin turning green or brown!”
“Oh, no… Quite… Oh, my… I’ve never met anyone who knows so much about the old world…”
Asmodeus looked embarrassed, covered his mouth, took a deep breath, and then looked at the princess.
“To be honest…”
“Didn’t you believe me?”
“… Time travel itself is the wish of our demons.”
Asmodeus continued his words carefully.
“Is it because you wanted to know what brilliant civilization we had before a huge, inexplicable mistake?”
“There’s that, but… I had a desire to make that mistake never happen. But in the end, I just knew of the terrible curse that even if I turned back time, I could never change the present we live in.”
“So did Ceres know that no matter what he did in the past, his present would not change…”
Asmodeus nodded his head and looked at the princess with eyes that were completely different from before.
There was tremendous respect in those eyes.
“The knowledge and wisdom you have may be able to solve many problems that we demons thought could never be solved.”
“Then can humans above and below ground coexist?”
“Of course! Most of our brothers and sisters are destined to be unable to climb up from this terrible underground even if they wanted to!”
Asmodeus shouted and was extremely excited.
“The knowledge of the ancient demons that only my mother knows… Oh, my! We have all learned it! The ever-burning flame may regain its power once again!”
“Asmodeus…”
“This is a big deal! It’s a big deal… Of course…”
Asmodeus quickly let out his excited breath and clenched his fists.
“I know. Just because you figure this out right now doesn’t mean you can do something about it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Okay, that’s not important. What’s important right now is…”
Asmodeus looked with a proud expression at the princess who recognized the work he had accomplished, and then slowly walked towards the wall.
“The goal was to find out where Virgilia was, right?”
“Can you figure it out right away?”
“No, you’ll never find out. Virgilia’s magic skills are many times greater than mine, and she knows our demons’ science better than I do.”
Asmodeus smiled as he pressed the button on the wall.
“But just as they call Virgilia an unheard name, Ceres, there is also something called the end of a relationship on this side.”
“Does that mean that there is a way to summon Ceres?”
“Of course. The Old World Research Club, which contains memories of my sister and I, is no longer there.”
Asmodeus smiled.
“After my sister was banished to the surface and skepticism became popular that the technology and civilization of the old world could not be recovered no matter how much research we did, we decided to put the things we had studied in a warehouse and bury them in the far corner of our memories. That’s it.”
“However, do you think Ceres still has memories of you?”
“Kkeukkeuk, as expected, you’re talking like a new god! There’s no one better to talk to than a person with a sharp mind!”
With a proud expression, Asmodeus gently pressed the large button with his thumb and fell from the wall.
“We promised a long time ago that we would definitely contact you if there were any problems with these items we studied so hard.”
“Isn’t it a sign of your and Ceres’ efforts? Of course, it should be.”
“Okay, so if Vergilia is in the Demon World and can meet us…”
Asmodeus put his hands together.
“If she remembers, she will definitely come.”
Asmodeus spoke confident words and waited without doing anything.
The dusty warehouse was surprisingly lonely. It almost felt like someone was whispering to me that nothing was happening.
─Sagrak
In that silence, a very small sound of dust rolling around on the floor could be heard.
The shadow of the princess and Asmodeus filling the floor slowly wriggled, and a pure white hand emerged from the darkness of unknown depth.
“The more I see of Virgilia’s magic, the more amazing it becomes. Among her siblings, her sister is probably the only one who can use such strange magic.”
The hand that stuck out at a strange angle instantly grabbed the shadow. The being that jumped out in an instant, like a person climbing off a cliff, was the one that the princess had longed to meet.
A woman wearing a maid uniform, her flowing jet-black hair covered in countless black blood.
“Ass…!”
Ceres, who jumped out from the shadows, was holding a scythe with a black blade in both her hands, and just as she was quickly aiming it at someone, her eyes met the princess.
“Oh my… How can I get to Pandemonium…”
“I was the one who told you to go here. How could I have told you to go here without knowing how to get there!”
As soon as she saw the princess smiling brightly and speaking her words, Ceres threw down the scythe she held in her hand and pulled the princess’ body with all her strength and hugged her.
