My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 416

Demon

World War (3)

My heart is pounding violently.

Feeling that, the Demon Dragon Duke… no, the being who was once the Demon Dragon Duke sank deeper into himself.

The past days of intense living passed by like fragments in my mind.

How did he, who was an ordinary dragon, come to the Demon World and stand at the peak?

There have been so many hardships and hardships over thousands of years.

And in the end, after enduring and overcoming it all, I was able to get to this position.

With the intention of seeking revenge on those who did not acknowledge him and eventually forced him to run away here.

To prove that he was right by becoming the Demon King with his own power and conquering the Demon World and then devouring the continent.

‘I am not wrong.’

Anyway, it’s not him that’s wrong, it’s this world.

He was the strongest in the world and better than anyone else in every way.

Isn’t it natural that he would rise to the position of ruling the world?

Crushire believed so.

And I was confident that it would happen soon.

“Hmph—I was wondering where you went, and you were hiding in a place like this? Moreover, with that kind of appearance.”

Until I heard that voice.

Rumbling—

The huge fuselage curled up in the ground twisted its body wildly.

It was an instinctive reaction that came before I was even conscious of anything.

A familiar female voice mixed with laughter.

An extremely hateful voice that suddenly appears and ruins all plans that were going smoothly.

The sound of my heartbeat that was loudly ringing in my ears faded away.

…No, it was just my mood.

My heart was still beating violently.

It’s just that my consciousness is so focused on the outside intruder that I can’t even perceive it properly.

“I was wondering how on earth they keep releasing so many monsters…”

Kugugugugung—!

Ignoring the sighing words that seemed to click their tongues, Crushire slowly stood up.

The collapsing earth and the dust rising high.

In the aftermath, the surrounding air filled with demonic energy shook and an earthquake occurred, but he did not care about such trivial matters at all.

“…I never thought he would have turned his entire body into a passage into the abyss.”

Hela quietly looked up at the giant monster that had risen.

A being that stands tall in the middle of an abandoned land that is said to be the most desolate land in the demon world.

However, even if I washed my eyes and searched, I could not see the image from when it had collided once before.

Let alone the body that appears to be well over 1 kilometer long, it seems to have grown more than ten times.

“Hmm, after looking at it closely, it’s a bit burdensome. “I feel like I’m going to throw up because I’m upset. Can’t I just lie down again?”

It was a being that seemed to embody disgust rather than dignity.

The three pairs of wings, which appeared to be nothing more than decoration, were roughly spliced together from the continuously screaming humanoid monsters, and the rest of the body was not much different.

Countless eyes stared at her at once.

‘Wow—that’s gross.’

Hela frowned and looked at the huge creature in front of her.

Even at this very moment, monsters are falling out of the huge fuselage as if hairs are being pulled out, and monsters are rising from inside as if to fill the empty space.

It was literally a factory that churned out endless monsters.

“As soon as it is shipped from the factory, it is immediately shipped all over the country. The service is amazing….”

Of course, no one would have wanted such direct delivery from the producer.

Hela frowned at the sight of the monsters splitting through space and disappearing somewhere as soon as they separated from Crushire’s body.

‘No matter how much I hold on to it, there is no end to it.’

As expected, his judgment was right.

The quickest and only way to resolve this situation was to kill Crushire, which produces endless monsters.

He knows that too, so he must have been hiding somewhere like this.

“Okay, maybe this would be better.”

If the power struggle had continued as originally planned, I don’t know how much longer it would have taken.

On the other hand, isn’t the current situation rather neat, where all you have to do is get rid of that demon dragon that has completely lost its taste?

Plus…

“I still have a lot of work to do in the future, but I can’t be held back by you forever, right? So, I believe you will fully understand.”

Even if that wasn’t the case, he was just boasting to his subordinates that he would finish it soon.

Also, since you crossed the line first, I will use all the means at my disposal.

Hela shrugged lightly and narrowed one eye.

[—————!]

Immediately afterwards, the monsters hanging on Crushire’s body roared in unison.

At the same time, countless eyeballs embedded in that huge body glared fiercely at the same time.

Before he knew it, he headed towards the group of people surrounding him.

It was an instinctive response to a crisis.

The monsters that separated from the body and disappeared through space stopped moving and began to prepare for battle, but Hela paid no attention and continued speaking calmly.

“Now, so—.”

As time passes, the power of the “Demon King” becomes stronger and stronger.

“Sprinkle some ash on the finished rice and stop rolling!”

The ‘world’ united as one pierced the huge fuselage.

***

So high in the sky that everything on the ground seems small.

Goooooh—

Hesperon, which was hovering in the air relying on boosters, quietly looked down.

Due to the explosive increase in monsters that ?Inside the Machine: Callicas? analyzes and prints, a pure white monster that has already doubled in size—Krewshire.

‘That should already be considered a colony rather than a single life form. ‘We’ll have to target the core somewhere… but it’s too big, so it’s difficult.’

They were crowded around like a swarm of ants, making them feel like commoners, but in fact, each and every one of those monsters was a powerful enemy that could never be taken lightly.

In the first place, there was no way the balance of the demon world, which was tightly maintained by easy-going guys, would collapse, right?

In addition, they have the characteristic of becoming stronger the more they unite, so most attacks would not work against Crushire, which had become a colony itself.

‘Even if it works, it will be completely restored by the objects that sprout up quickly.’

Because the wound did not regenerate, but rather the dead object fell off and a new one took its place, Hella’s power to suppress the regeneration of the “Annihilator” was completely useless.

Well, if she takes her time, she might be able to get rid of him on her own…

‘There’s no need to go back like that.’

Hesperon shrugged his shoulders and slowly stretched his left arm forward.

That’s why I came all the way here instead of going back right after the search was over.

The dark soul used for the search could not be used.

Since the force was too great for him to handle, a cooldown period was needed for stabilization.

‘But this is enough for now.’

The problem now was that there were so many monsters crowded together that it was impossible to pinpoint the location of the core.

Therefore, first of all, it was necessary to reduce the number as much as possible…

‘As expected, when it comes to simple firepower, this is the best!’

As the aiming point came to mind in “Inside the Machine: Calicas,” all kinds of numerical values, including street, wind, and humidity, passed by in a complicated manner.

The Titan’s core, the Dragon Heart, became hot and its energy gradually began to increase.

“Ion Cannon Load.”

It didn’t end there.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge metal structure appeared, swaying near his left shoulder.

The large gun barrel protruding from the “subspace storage” was combined with the titanium on the left arm.

Clap—Geeeee—!

The titanic circuit connected to the dragon heart embedded in the center of the decisive battle weapon that Howard had only recently completed by mobilizing all of his characteristics – the ‘Ion Cannon’, and began to resonate with each other.

Ugh—!

A weapon that cannot and should not exist in this world, where the power of the “technological revolution” resides and where compliance and disregard for the laws of Outerica coexist.

An enormous amount of energy was concentrated within it, and the light of destruction that would destroy civilization leaked out from the large port.

And finally.

“Fire!”

From heaven to earth.

A huge pillar of light struck down.

***

Kugugugugung—!

Hesperon was not the only one who launched the attack.

A realm of death spread throughout the area, and all the monsters in contact with the ground melted at once, and as soon as additional monsters could be replenished, a cold storm of blood turned everything into a handful of blood.

With the addition of a huge monster covered in madness as well as a dragon spouting breath, it was natural that Crushire’s huge body, whose regeneration speed could not keep up, began to get smaller and smaller.

[—!]

Of course, he didn’t sit still either.

He responded to the wave of attacks by using a variety of means, as if extracting monsters was not all that his newly acquired abilities were.

By activating the existing six stronger magic eyes at the same time, shuffling the space around, or spreading the pollution of the abyss through the self-destruction of monsters.

but.

[Hehehe… I can’t believe I’m using the magical eye of instant death in this body’s presence. It really must have looked quite ridiculous.]

“Foreknowledge of the future… It’s not just a glimpse into cause and effect. “It’s definitely a troublesome force.”

“Kahahaha! Tickle! “It tickles!”

[Keluk keluk! The air is bad, so why are you so persistent?]

Even if the other person was bad, it was still too bad.

They are all difficult enemies that are not easy to deal with one-on-one.

However, they were combining their strength and working together… And since the beings whose minds were connected as one were moving as one body, there was no way they could withstand it.

[—!]

Crushire, who had already shrunk to the size of the original demon dragon, cried out in frustration.

It seems like we should fight fair and square one-on-one instead of cowardly attacking together.

Of course, Hela, who had nothing to bow down to, did not blink an eye.

“what’s the matter? That’s not all, is it? Does it really end there? “After even sacrificing yourself?”

Rather, the one who roared fiercely at those mocking words glared at her fiercely.

His eyes glowed with murderous intent, burning with even more anger and hatred than when I first saw him.

[…OK! Now that this has come to an end, even if it means giving up the last piece of me, I will definitely tear you to death for at least four years!]

And then, as if all he had been growling up until now was a lie, a bitter growl burst out from him.

The change occurred right after those words were said.

Saaaa—

The presence I felt from him, as if he had been waiting, completely changed.

[hmm? [This is…]

The first to react was the Immortal King Hans.

An energy deeper than the abyss I had encountered before and darker than pitch black began to flow from him.

An ominous energy that stimulates the “Heart of Immortality” located in his chest.

Harley, who had the “Seed of Madness,” felt the same thing.

————!

I felt eyes on me.

An incomprehensible gaze coming from beyond the body that had become a passageway into the abyss rather than Crushire.

The atmosphere distorted and used force as if the world itself was trying to exclude that being, but that power was far from enough to stop the being that descended at a fair price.

‘…is it. Well, there’s no way the guy who wanted to rule the world would have given his all.’

But that was a story a little while ago.

The guy who was pushed to the very end finally gave up and threw away everything.

With the sole intention of making Hela, the culprit behind this incident, his companion.

And that would have been a wish that was consistent with the understanding of ‘that being’.

Swoosh—

the connection is becoming stronger.

It was impossible to interrupt it before it was completely finished.

As if it was originally decided that way.

‘Is this dangerous?’

Of course, that state won’t last long.

However, the opponent was a supreme deity who even rebelled against the main god.

No matter how devastated and imprisoned they were, that short period of time would be enough to cook some who were just beginning to bloom the seeds of divinity.

‘Tsk, it would be better for everyone to leave until the time limit is up…’

That was the moment when I was seriously considering a plan to overcome this situation.

Her body flinched.

‘Wait a minute, maybe this is…’

A pair of stationary eyes moved quickly as if reading something floating in the air.

Soon a faint smile appeared on his lips.

?Your influence as the Demon King will expand. The existence of the entity becomes more evident.?

I felt that

the karma possessed by the entity had reached a critical point.?

That I had just crossed a certain line.

As if to prove it, messages began to arrive one after another.

?Achievement achieved! He became the ‘Demon King’, the demonic lord who rules the Demon World.?

?After ending the war that had lasted for a long time, he became the undisputed leader of the Demon World. As a reward, we grant the special “World Invasion”.?

?You have achieved an achievement and had a great impact on the world. Karma increases further.?

Even while Hela was here, Helheim’s influence was expanding smoothly.

No, on the contrary, it can be seen that it has settled in more quickly because it is a crisis situation like this.

Since all of the competing Demon King candidates had failed to run in the first place, the current result was as if it had already been decided.

It’s just that the demons of the Demon World needed time to properly recognize that fact.

‘Maybe it was still a little short, but the demon god gave me an advance payment.’

Looking at this exquisite timing, it was a very likely guess.

Of course, that wasn’t what mattered now.

Wouldn’t it be more important to know what you can do now that you’ve finally officially assumed the position of Demon King?

‘Ah, now I understand. Why hasn’t there been any reaction from the demon god so far?’

After becoming the Demon King, I realized it.

What did the demon god give up for what?

Why was the position of the Demon King so important in this demon world?

‘The existence of the Demon King was the beginning and end of the reign of the Demon World.’

God cannot arbitrarily intervene in the affairs of the underworld.

Although it is less powerful than the main god, the demon god also suffers from such limitations.

However, he felt the need for active intervention in the world to keep the imprisoned God in check, and created a way to circumvent the restrictions.

“I am Hela, the 16th Demon Lord of the Demon World.”

That being is the devil.

He was the demon god’s messenger who was delegated most of the management authority over the demon world.

‘Well, there seems to be a limit, but like the 15-year-old who got caught up in trolling because of greed.’

The ‘world’ was held in Hella’s hands.

It was not to the extent of dominating the surrounding area like before.

According to her will, this entire world called the Demon World came together and became a huge sword.

As he had already been accustomed to the power of the “Demon Lord” for a long time, his control was so perfect that it was hard to believe that he had just acquired the qualification.

“You, Crushire, who disrupted the order of the demon world—.”

The target was Crushire, whose descent had not yet ended.

Of course, no matter how far in advance you made a reservation, you couldn’t buy anything if you didn’t have the money to pay for it.

“—Execute.”

Right after the world was shaken like that.

————!

A new scar was created that intersected with the scar that crossed the sky of the Demon World.
