141 – Nothing is easy
“Um… ”
The Demon King who received a report on the situation in the Falcon Empire.
At this moment, she was feeling quite complicated about the current situation, which was going differently in many ways than she had thought.
‘What can I say… It seems that there is a feeling that the scale suddenly becomes too large… ‘
Originally, their plan was to help Cassandra succeed in the rebellion and bring about the weakening of the empire through this.
However, it is a god that suddenly and literally fell from the sky.
A general revision was unavoidable by Amun.
Originally, the demon king was also judged as an evil god in relation to the affairs of the elven kingdom.
However, according to the warrior’s words, this Amun has no intention of hostile to the demons,
Rather, the countries of the continent that can be called their potential enemies.
It was said that they had a plan to overturn the Falcon Empire, the Nation of Darkness, and the Nation of the Elves and the Nation of Beasts.
In fact, as soon as he descended into this world, he killed Kratos III, the emperor of the Falcon Empire, who was the enemy of the Demon Kingdom.
In that respect, the Demon King thought that it wouldn’t be bad to join hands with Lee, but beyond that, he was in a position where he couldn’t help but feel burdened about the current situation.
“Beelzebeauty, maybe? It’s definitely a taste from our point of view, but… No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be that easy to decide.”
“I think so too. In order to proceed with this right away as the hero said, we have to deal with things that can be called their national treasures, starting with the world tree that we prevented from destroying earlier.”
Of course, it is said that this work is carried out with the god Amun at the fore, but it could be too extensive provocation all over the continent.
At least, the Falcon Empire would not have to worry, but in this situation, it would be quite difficult for the other three countries to turn their arrows in this direction.
To the Demon King Nazareth who is so worried.
After thinking for a while, Beelzebeauty started to open her mouth in a calm voice.
“for now… I think it’s good to accept this for itself. As the warrior also said, this is literally a heaven-sent opportunity. If they are going to be enemies anyway, the correct answer would be to root them out when the chance comes. only.”
“only?”
“One thing needs to be clear. No matter what happens, if this leaks out… The fact that we are behind this should not be known.”
“Um… But isn’t that a really hard story? Although they have done similar things a couple of times so far, this time they are aiming for their national treasure. For example, Jupiter, the world tree of the elven kingdom. Would it be possible to conceal who destroyed it?”
“Possibly… I should try making it. Rather, the elven kingdom is half of our vassal state, so even if it could be dealt with relatively easily. The Nation of Darkness or the Nation of Hands… Especially in the case of the Nation of Darkness, it will be really difficult.”
“but… That Sorcerer King is by no means an easy opponent.”
The King of Darkness, an existence that I had only met by chance in the past. Overseer Aztas.
Even though she had never been directly involved in battle, the Demon King could vaguely sense how terrifying a monster the being with the appearance of that little girl was.
‘The opponent’s strength is probably the same as mine… Of course, I’ve never seen him actually go on the battlefield, so I can’t be sure, but he’s definitely not an ordinary guy.’
Even though she is right next to the huge Falcon Empire, it is not difficult to guess how strong she and the Nation of Darkness are just by maintaining the country firmly without being absorbed.
So, while recognizing that the future will not be easy,
At the same time, in spite of this, in order to make the most of this situation where a being with absolute power called God is roaming around.
The Demon King finally accepted the offer made by the warrior.
‘If you think about it, if you hate a god with that much power, you could suffer even greater damage. After all, in this unavoidable situation, the only thing you can do right now is to somehow make good use of this opportunity… ‘

“I really want… What the hell is going on like this… ”
“That’s right. I thought I’d be able to explode with excitement without noticing it for the first time in a while. Things took a strange turn.”
The two who had been expecting a bloody battle for the first time in a while, escaping from their peaceful daily life.
However, the current situation was going differently than they expected in many ways.
A sudden advent of a god and a dramatic reversal of circumstances in the process.
As a result,
Instead of attacking the ecliptic with Cassandra’s soldiers, which was the original plan, they were placed in a situation where they just had to lead the soldiers and enter the ecliptic, which could be said to have already been taken over.
Of course, the fact that they achieved their goal without shedding blood can be seen as a good thing, but for those who came here hoping for battle, it could be said that they were full without eating.
So, in many ways, Elisa and the others are preparing to move to the imperial castle, feeling a little dissatisfied with this situation, which feels like incomplete combustion.
And at this moment, beside those two people, there was another person besides the dark elf Amelda who was waiting on them.
“Still, didn’t it go well? Amun, no one else, is protecting us. Can there be a greater light than this?”
“… Oh, come to think of it, you were originally a follower of Amun, right?”
A person who speaks in a moving voice with twinkling eyes.
Cleopatra.
Originally a follower of Amun, who was active in the elven kingdom, although she was corrupted into a female by Elisa, she still had faith in Amun in one place in her heart.
It’s just that the strength of his faith is weighed down by his obedience to Elisha.
And for her, even though she failed, it was truly heartbreaking to see Amun descending to the earth in person.
The reason why she volunteered to bring the demon king’s letter must also be because she wanted to face Amun in person.
“by the way… The god Amun is also very merciful. It’s not something I’m going to say, but I never thought I’d forgive a traitor who caused a major accident like you.”
“Because Amun is a generous person. He reprimanded me for the failure of his mission, but he said he would not ask me for any more crimes as I did my best.”
The elf Cleoparta, who had the name Antonius, failed in her mission and caused many of her comrades to die.
However, Amun did not ask for any punishment for her, who bowed her head in front of him and asked for an apology.
It wasn’t because she was incompetent, but because she was unlucky.
In addition, it was the reason that having already become a woman and losing position and power, and in some ways more precious things, was enough punishment.
However, apart from that, Cleopatra’s faith in Amun, who had given her this much mercy, was growing even more.
“How is it, Master and Nyadan-nim, taking this opportunity to become Amun-nim’s followers… ”
“I’ll decline, even though he’s on our side right now, I have no intention of bowing my head to a guy who might strike at any time or in any way.”
“I am the same as Elisha. In the first place, it’s not appropriate for us demons to talk about God or anything like that.”
“… is that so… Too bad. But if the opportunity arises, please let me know. Because Amun is the one who accepts any form of love, as long as he doesn’t commit an obscene act of stealing the love of others, which he designated as a mortal sin.”
“Huh… I like that.”
“… ha… I will refer to it.”
In the meantime, with Nyadan, who secretly leans on her body and conducts skinship. After sighing slightly at this, Elisa patted her ‘girlfriend”s hair.
Right after I finished preparing to move while peeling the light nogari.
Together with the others who were waiting, they set off for the ecliptic.
*
Achilles, standing alone high in the ecliptic, watching Amun and Cassandra and his companions quietly approaching this way.
The plan he had been preparing for years would finally come to an end with their arrival.
The emperor who stole his beloved wife is dead,
His wife who betrayed him was also killed with his own hands.
And now, when Cassandra, who is coming from there, arrives, the imperial family here will be perfectly in their hands.
However, even thinking about this fact, Achilles’ heart was not happy at all.
For Achilles, power was only a means.
There was no need for it now that he had achieved his goal, and in that respect, he was already thinking of handing over his power to Cassandra.
Whether she would become emperor or puppet someone in the imperial family through this, Achilles was no longer interested or interested.
‘… yes but… It’s frustrating. I finally got my revenge… After all, I have nothing left.’
With that thought in mind, Achilles slowly descended from the spire and headed downward.
In any case, the important thing now is to welcome the guests who are destined to come here.
He decided to put off personal worries until later.
