Colossus Hunter

I didn't like all of the options

They could not kill each other until they finished each other, or let the words of Doom flow as they intended.

I am the Joker. I have to be the only one to turn the whole board upside down.

“· · · · · · · Loading. ”

As I approached, Lyra said without hiding her anxious eyes.

Ignil, who was standing next to her, falls in horror.

There are approaching pilgrims from afar, and the presence of Needhog, who has eaten up the sky.

There was nothing normal about it that would make you nervous.

“I don't have time to explain. Prepare for war."

“An army that size. Are they the Four Thousand Kings?”

“All the Four Thousand Kings except the Lion King. ”

“Orders.”

Lyra bows her head briefly.

The severity of the incident was noted at once.

I've been thinking. In my words, she'll run off into the battlefield without caring about her own life.

And a very high chance of dying.

This is far from my goal and the wish of Uriel Diablo.

‘I need to live up to my advantage. ’

What's in it for me, unlike other daemon roads? · · · · · ·

‘Divine.' And information and transmission. ’

Divinity is limited only when fighting the Giants, so this was the final burial ground.

After all, information and metastasis. We need to tackle the situation in two ways.

Leaving this war unprepared meant death.

Moreover, I didn't like this board that was made suddenly. I don't want Daemon-Lord to perish, but it really wasn't the end.

‘What I need to do to see the real end. ’

Think.

In the end, all the threads were connected to the "Great Star."

You can't change the future without unwinding the thread.

Even if all the daemon roads die, the Earth will perish as long as someone craves the "Great Star."

I had to do "our war," as Doom said, and to do so, killing the Four Thousand Kings sounded reasonable, but on the contrary, a normal war like that eliminated my own possibility of victory.

‘I don't want a normal war. ’

The War of the Intact Demon Lord?

Arthur.

We need a gap. The presence of the Four Thousand Kings was a great medium to open it up.

Of course, someone has to die because Needhog has come.

Then I noticed something strange in Doom's story.

‘If the Lion King is dead and Nidhog is gone, he doesn't have to kill everyone. ’

It means that the death of one of the Four Thousand Kings is enough.

I have no quarrel with the Four Lords.

So you can make a more objective judgment.

If there was a means of contact with the Sun King and he could turn his mind, the war would be completely inclined this way.

However, if the Sun King intends to kill all the daemon lords like the other Four Thousand Kings to protect his immortality, this operation is of no use.

But it was better than letting go of my hand.

‘Moreover, it is not credible whether Doom really killed the Lion King and turned into a hostile relationship. ’

In a subtle way, is the Lion King really dead?

There was no reliable objective information

It's all just gone.

When everyone was driven away by time and circumstance, they threw their trust into their words.

I couldn't believe everything, so I had to find my own way.

‘The problem is there is no way to reach the Sun King here. ’

It's impossible to play alone. Once you enter the battlefield, you will die. Above all, if I were a simple daemon lord, everything would be on alert.

The Demon Lords, the Four Thousand Kings.

I looked at Ignil.

“Ignil.”

“Huh?”

“Can you open the door and send someone else? ”

Ignil can open any door. When fighting Hwaseong, it was the first time, but if it is possible to send something else, we can also send people.

Ignil nods.

“Yes!”

Good. If transfers are possible, I will have more choice.

The Sun King needed to be able to approach without anyone noticing. In addition, the body must have excellent abilities and a slight chance of survival in the event.

Laido, Ignildo, and anyone else here stand out.

But a third party. There was a presence that seemed completely unrelated.

“Can you send another 'me’ here? ”

“Ignil, listen to me. I'll try.”

Of course, risks are accompanied. It was still a gamble worth walking.

Things we didn't see in Uriel's eyes. If Doom's story is true, if Uriel and the Sun King are "related," the unsolved questions are solved.

There was only one thing I would tell the Sun King.

- I need to talk to you about future choices.

The odds are half.

Failure is death. But it was a gamble worth a walk.

Conversely, if successful.

‘I can turn the plates upside down. ’

I will be able to make a "plate" just for me, not a plate made by Doom.

I don't want either of you to survive.

If the Four Thousand Kings triumph, I will die, and if the Demon Lords, including Doom, triumph, my wind will be far away.

Therefore, we needed an excuse to keep each other in constant combat, not one-time. If I beat this situation well, I would have an opportunity to create a gap and have a greater impact on my influence.

‘Turn the plates over. ’

I had to.

* * * * *

The kings looked over there.

The giant snake is summoned little by little, in pursuit of prey.

That snake needs to be tightened before Needhog wakes up completely. Kings knew that, too.

Sun King.

He was one of them. It was the youngest of the Four Thousand Kings, and it was a mysticist who had everything stacked up in a veil.

And there was a messenger in front of him.

“Solar King, Falcon says he has no intention of abandoning his loyalty. I'm ready to give Doom's head if I need it now. ”

Sun King.

The Horsemen of the Big Ball look at the messenger.

The messenger squeezes as hard as he can.

It is because we know how frightening the Sun King is. And such terror was enough to frighten even the Falcon.

Unlike the other Four Thousand Kings, the new King of the Sun broke through all of his enemies. Their courage and uncertainty filled everyone's loyalty and fear.

“I don't care about Doom's neck. ”

The Sun King raises a huge hand and scratches his neck. The Abyssal King who controls tens of millions of monsters. It all comes down to one word he says. He had the power to make the impossible possible.

“How can you know our allegiance? ”

“Catch the snake. ”

“· · · · · · What if it's a snake? ”

The sun king raised his head and looked up at the sky.

“The one who covered the sky without knowing the subject. ”

“You mean Needhog? ”

“That's the name. I will feed the snake and feed it to the Great Star. The essence from the snake's ship must be enough to reconstruct the world. ”

· · · · · · · · View differently.

The other kings started an attack with opposition to the hounds seeing themselves as prey, but the Sun King didn't care in the first place.

“But Doom said it was impossible to catch the snake. ”

“That snake is like the original curse. To catch snakes, you need more curses like that. ”

The sun king's eyes look over the horizon.

“But don't you have the right food around here? ”

The right food was meant for Daemon-Lord.

The messenger has been picked up.

“Dear King of the Sun, Do you intend to abandon the Falcon? He's dedicated his life to the king. ”

“Then commit to the end. Throw away even a small part of yourself for me. ”

It was a horrible thing to say.

The messenger trembles.

“Do you really want war? ”

“War? Did you see the elephant go to war with the ant? ”

The Sun King's words contained the truth.

Demon Lord's rebellion is meaningless.

“If you want to live, give me something I can't resist. Doom's neck is not full of castles. ”

The Sun King did not give me an answer. I want you to take care of it.

The messenger's face turns red.

“Why! We are only for the Sun King! ”

“Idiot. You think the Falcon sent you to me for a complete devotion? ”

The King of the Sun kicked his tongue.

“By sending you to me, I have attracted the attention of the other Four Lords. They're watching me whenever and wherever I might betray them. ”

“Ha, Haona, no one saw me. ”

“Their eyes are everywhere. At least every Abyssal Being is inevitable. Especially if you're keeping an eye on them. ”

The Sun King reaches out and grabs the messenger by the neck.

“Cough, cough, cough! ”

“The Falcon is not devoted entirely to me. His devotion is for his own good. The whole point of sending you in here is to contain me. Which one would be more advantageous? ”

The messenger opens his eyes.

Aaaaah!

The body and neck were separated as it was.

The Sun King throws the dead messenger to the ground and glares down at the ground.

“Come out now, mortal. ”

Black air flow.

There was another being lurking in it.

Soon something began to emerge from the black air stream.

A chilly castle that hides its appearance with the skill of a dark touch.

* * * * *

I was surprised. I had to be surprised.

There were a lot of monsters that knew about the Black Airflow, but I didn't even know they were 'Humans’ at once.

I could see Sun, and I followed the line to Uriel Diablo. And I was able to find what I thought was the Sun King.

She also swallowed her tongue while listening to the Falcon's messenger.

‘The Falcon, leader of the faction, is on the move. Nevertheless, the Sun King did not accept it. ’

You don't seem to have any intention of keeping Daemon-Lord alive.

If so, my own plan was most likely useless.

When I thought about going back, he found me.

And I instinctively realized that it was impossible to run away after being caught.

“It's rare to find a human in the Maw. ”

“I want to talk to you about future choices. ”

I got straight to the point. He didn't seem to like small talk.

“Future choice. What a strange thing to say. ”

However, it is unexpected.

So I looked around.

‘It's not that they're not responding at all. ’

You notice that the monsters around you have a subtle distance between them. I pretended to be a grave, but it probably bothered me a little.

“If you tell a story like the one I just did, you will be torn to death right here. ”

“I am Uriel Diablo. It's his messenger.”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

But this time there was a clear response.

They are responding to the name Uriel.

“He said he was frustrated by the many possibilities of the future. The same is true of this war. ”

I threw it straight away.

Honestly, it's an impending struggle from here on out.

But if the Sun King really had the same power of "future selection," and had used it, he would have realized that it was never a lie.

‘Mix truth with falsehood. ’

It was the only way I could truly win.

Truth and falsehood. A glimmer of hope blooming in them!

Indeed, my ‘horse’ was able to move the mind of the Sun King, and now it was time to gamble.
