Demon King
Chapter 150 Black Palace [5]

“This pocket watch is something Rain gave me. Did I hand this to him before I died? ”

[If it's Satan's most trusted subordinate, it's undoubtedly what you're talking about. Should I mention his name now?]

I shake my head, no.

“If his name suddenly comes back, it will be embarrassing. Especially for them, not yet. ” I feel a new sense of appreciation when I look at the watch for a while. Looking up from him, I reached out to Batsago.

“Go underground with Black Palace. You will be needed there. ”

[I will wait, my king.]

I activated the Domination chain, expanding dozens of mana chains from my heart to Batsago. The relationship that was established between us from before was rebuilt. I could feel the power back at him as the Black Palace began to turn back into mana.

[Satan.]

Before stepping through the gate I made, Batsago turned to me.

[You must recover the seven parts of the Black Palace before the decisive battle against Heaven.]

“I know.” I had to return to the Black Palace in the mountains near Seongbuk-gu, but it felt too early for that. In the end, my sister and I remained outside the dungeon because the Black Palace disappeared without a trace. There are humans holding swords and magic around us, but we don't care about them.

“Who are they?!”

“They came out of the dungeon that no one could touch. They're monsters! ”

“Kill them!”

The humans on the battlefield felt enough to call us monsters with just one line of bad logic. Until now, I would kill them without hesitation, but now I don't want to see more deaths. I don't want to kill people anymore. It is very unpleasant to use my strength against them.

“Ya!”

“Why..!” Even standing still, humans cannot attack us. Those who have not reached a higher system cannot go beyond the power of Cause Control.

We can't win! Humans quickly realized the difference between us and retreated despite the bloodsuck and death. Other humans quickly slashed at them as their attention was disturbed.

“Come go.”

“Hah... brother.” My brother's mood doesn't look good. No doubt because she felt I had an important secret that I was hiding from her. “Can I tell him?” The fact is I'm not his real brother or even a human. I even hurt a lot of the humans that caused Great Fusion and thought only of myself. At least I can't tell him now. I felt bitter when I stopped opening the gate. The scarf on my neck, Echoes, shakes violently as if it were complaining about me.

‘Why?’ As I looked to think, I understood why. It was reacting to the humans dying on the battlefield. The remaining souls cannot return to where they should be, but they must go somewhere. With ridiculous speed and in absurd numbers.

“Ah.” I nodded when I saw him. Elakatra is still hiding? They're not involved in human war? That's a stupid idea. Maybe this is their final goal. They wanted to create a war that would engulf the entire human race from the very beginning. Lucifer is now gathering the souls of men. Not just thousands, but millions. Perhaps he already had over a billion at this stage. He drew more souls to recover his strength. So he can defeat me and chase after Heaven.

“...Sucks once.” I muttered slowly. I am frustrated to see the similarities between our actions. My sister, who could see great soul movements, looked at me as if something was wrong, but I wasn't worried about her gaze. I injected my power into the Echo and threw it into the air. Thousands of strands split apart in an instant, swimming swiftly in the air.

“It's awesome.” He could see Echo, at the very least, exclaiming loudly upon seeing her. Long black threads emitted light as they swam through the air. But in my eyes, I saw something a little different. The human soul was engulfed by a huge burst, its thread greedily eating all the souls nearby. Too cruel to say it's beautiful.

“Brother, what are you doing?”

“I prevent enemies from increasing their strength?”

“Increase their strength..?”

“Ya.” I smiled bitterly.

“You're back, Destiny.”

Gather all the troops. Rain's eyes shone for a moment, but I shook my head.

“This has not been a decisive fight. There is something I need to do on Earth. ”

“What to do ..” Rain chews on my words before nodding and stepping away. Soon, all the creatures in my world gathered in front of the castle. Not only countless monsters but also new demons and Rebellion members. L, A, G, O, and R pay close attention to Batsago. He seemed to be showing off because he knew more than they did.

“Batsago, there's something I need to check first.”

As you say, Satan. He was a big old man in the dungeon, but now he was roughly the size of me and looked like a young man wearing a gold bracelet. Maybe it's because he regained his power through our connections.

“Is your prediction right? Three week time limit. ”

“Of course. It takes a lot of effort and time for such a great will to move, it is not as simple as moving such a body for us. It would take at least three weeks for their movements to come to fruition and appear on Earth. You can trust this. ”

“If so, there is no problem to move as I want.”

“Wait a minute, Destiny!” G shouted in surprise.

“How did he get his name back? Have you regained your strength? ”

We'll talk about it now. Among my members are those who have been human in the past. However, once they know I have regained my identity as a king among demons, they will know that I am not a normal human being. I felt the need to cover it up to some extent.

“Your power seems to have been used to build the Rookie Battlefield. You can get your name back now, but that doesn't mean your power will come back. The power itself is tied to the battlefield. Unless we destroy it and combine it with the underground, it is irreversible. ”

“Medan Rookie War…? No... fusion? Indeed..”

“Yeah... like that.” Although I didn't explain it well, Rain and G understood everything and gave me a warm smile. Other demons are similar. A just gritted his teeth, and L sighed.

“So that's him. Fate, you're cool. All misunderstandings have been resolved. ”

“I think your whereabouts are hidden from them, but that is my vanity. You have been sent down to heaven and recognized as their enemy. As you know from my conversation with Batsago, heaven has already started taking action against us. We have to fight them in three weeks. ”

“If Fate is perfect, he will predict victory. So what are we doing? Should I run? ”

“G, silent.” I growled loudly, and G laughed brilliantly. However, his words did not match his intentions.

“Let's put that aside for now. What matters now is one thing. I haven't let you go to Earth to hide you. ”

“... That means..” L's eyes flashed as he understood my point immediately.

“There is no more reason to stop you coming out now.”

“So ...” Special relationship binds A, L, and Rain with me so that they can maintain their strength. Therefore, however, they cannot use their power outside of my territory. But, in the end, it was to hide them underground. Now that I know that I can't keep it a secret, nothing can stop them from going to Earth.

“I have focused on reclaiming the dungeon on Earth. I also have to recover the Black Palace, but at the moment we have a greater purpose. ”

“To blend Rookie Battlefields with underground!” G exclaimed confidently, and I nodded.

“Iya. I'd like to recover your name and power at the same time. I want to rise and finally defeat Heaven. So for that to happen.. ”I glanced at the members of Rebellion. I can feel the gratitude of Lee Chan-yu, who has always believed in me.

“From now on, we will stop the war of mankind.”
