The Demon Lord Reborn
Chapter 09: Village Shelter II

“Alliance...? No, did I hear wrong? If they become our alliance, just like they are against the five Outsiders, are they crazy?” Said the gatekeeper perched on Astaroth's left shoulder.

“Oh, yes, I forgot to tell them about it... Yes, next time I tell him, for now, open the gate to the two of them first, Yin and Yang.” Astaroth's orders were directly executed by Yin and Yang.

The gate slowly opened as it was pushed to the right by Yin and Yang, accompanied by Peace and Gram who had reached beside Astaroth. Then, Peace, Astaroth and Gram walked into the gate which was immediately greeted by the Intelligent Snakes with firecrackers.

“Give the most festive welcome to our king! Leader and hero of us all!”

“Mr Astaroth! Welcome back!”

“Mr Astaroth! Long time no see! Are you okay?”

Shouting some Intelligent Snakes from the crowd, the Intelligent Snakes seemed to be filling up all the way, even so, the Smart Snakes still did not block the path of Astaroth, Peace and Gram, however, the Intelligent Snakes allowed the three of them to pass freely. From near and far, they did everything to see the form of Astaroth that they glorified.

“Everything! Act like always, like when I'm not here.” Said Astaroth who suddenly made the Smart Snakes speechless and returned to their respective activities.

“Outstanding... Can't wait to master them. He he he.” Peace said with a faint laugh.

“Oi, do you not-don't you have other evil intentions? By the way, why do you want so badly to become a Demon King and rule the world of Vanaheim?” Ask Astaroth curiously.

“I want to become a Demon King and rule the world of Vanaheim for tranquility and enjoyment, just imagine, if one of the kingdoms tries to betray me, I just need to get the other kingdoms to finish off that traitor. Tasty, right?” Peace answered while imagining it in his head.

“Yes, you're right. However, I need to tell you something, if you really want to take back the kingdom of the Smart Snake, it is just like you are opposing the five Outsiders, a group of rulers in the world of Vanaheim. Everything because, the player who colonized the kingdom of the Intelligent Snake was one of the five Outsiders, his name was Chronus.” Astaroth.

“Ruler, yes? This world is indeed interesting, even so, I am the one who will stand at the top as a Demon King. Remember my words.” Peace said while looking around.

After hearing that, Astaroth and Gram walked over to Peace, then Astaroth replied, “What is meant from the board on the left is the appearance of the Snake God, the appearance of the Snake God made the 2 naked men shocked uncharacteristically. Yes, the point is that our race has the mythology of the Snake God, it is said, the Snake God will appear at important times. However, I myself doubt the origin of this story, because the ancestors said that this story will actually happen in the future and has been determined by God. But, you can tell if they lie. Perhaps, they created this to appease the Smart Snakes when they were in trouble, and the plan proved successful. Now, with great expectations, the Smart Snakes always pray to God to immediately bring up that ridiculous Snake God.”

“While, the board on the right shows an illustration of an infinite vertical dimension stack and is commonly known as Tower Dimensions. In each dimension, creating an infinite number of other dimensions, and in each dimension, re-creating another infinite number of dimensions, it repeats itself to infinity. Then, everything is accommodated by the Expansion which has the same dimensional system as the Tower Dimension, so the Expansion is accommodated by another Expansion and repeats to infinity. Not only that, there is a pile of vertical dimensions that have the same system as before, and commonly known as Faraway. But what distinguishes it, even though the Expansion has been stacked with an infinite number, it still can not match the magnitude of Faraway, making Faraway no longer accessible, even greater than all cardinality sets.” Said Astaroth which made Peace confused and dizzy with what he was talking about.

“So remember Emerald's words about the existence of Creator of All... If not mistaken, Emerald said that Creator of All has transcended the infinite dimensions that seem to be Tower Dimensions.” Peace.

“Yeah, you're right. But it is not right, because God has transcended everything. In fact, if the entire Faraway was stacked with an infinite number, it still could not match the magnitude of God. Oh, yes, and I forgot to tell you 1 thing, that stone boards like this still exist and are stored in my palace. Stone board that we managed to take only 2 pieces and the rest we failed to take.” Astaroth said with regret.

“Yes, no problem, we just need to reclaim it, right? Then, when do we go to attack Chronus? Has his attacking strategy been determined? If not, let's decide now.” Peace.

“Yes... It's better not to be here, we'll define the strategy in the house to our right, it's my home. Then follow me.” Astaroth said as he walked towards the door of his house, followed by Peace and Gram.

Astaroth house is made of wood and has 2 floors, each floor has 2 glass on each side, wooden doors are also on the front of the house next to which there are bushes as decoration. Astaroth House is more or less the same as other houses, there is no noticeable difference.

After arriving at the door, Astaroth immediately opened it slowly. Suddenly, Astaroth was greeted by a burly human-like creature with a snake head. He wore pants made of leather and sandals whose base was made of stone.

“M-Maj?! Long time no see, how are you? By the way, as long as I go, is the village attacked?” Ask Astaroth curiously.

“Yo, I'm fine, Mr. Astaroth. Unfortunately, the village had been attacked by a herd of Zombies, however, all of them had protected the village as hard as they could, so the Zombies managed to escape from the village thanks to the cooperation of all of us very well. Even so, dozens of Smart Snakes were injured from the attack of the Zombie that had been hit, now, they were being treated in a small hospital. Luckily, none of us died. All reports from me, Mr. Astaroth.” Majhul answered while kneeling before Astaroth.

“Moreover this? Why are he and you different from other Intelligent Snakes? I need an explanation right now!” Speak Peace while pointing towards Astaroth and Majhul.

Seriate...
