Desire

The Demon King stirs up his body and sees pain with his stupefied eyes. It was a question that was asked with a gambling heart, but the Demon King did what Azin asked. Of course, it is still unclear. It must have been true that the Demon King was interested in Azin's questions, but it wasn't because the Demon King said he would do him a favor.

“What are you asking me to do? ”

The Demon King asks again. Azin picked a rough breath. I succeeded in defeating the Demon King. If the Demon King had just vanished, the winner of this game would have been exhausted and it would have all been over. Actually, it didn't matter if it happened. Azin already has one wish in mind, and if he wishes for it, what he wishes for will come true. But it doesn't really work. That's not good enough.

“Please. Are you willing to listen?” If there's anything I can do. ”

The Demon King replied with a shivering face. The Demon King had a crush on Ajin. Leaving being the final boss to decorate the end of the game, the Demon King tried azin in his own way as Gladiolus himself before becoming the Demon King. Can man change? How far can human possibilities go? That was what the Demon King wanted to test, and Azin did as the Demon King wished.

That's why I had a crush. In fact, it was also because Azin had won the game of taking absolute power from him, as Gladiolus wished. But it was certainly true that the Demon King was in favor of the changed man, not the victor of the game, Azin.

Azin sent a message to the Demon King. The Demon King burst into laughter after hearing Azin's message.

“That's easy. ”

“Really?"

“If I cooperate. Perhaps it will be as you wish. Obviously. It's not that difficult... and if you want to, you can. ”

The Demon King raised his hand to say so. The space was torn apart, followed by a white world and a pandemonium. Before that, Azin whispers in Devello's ear.

What?

Devello replies. She doesn't seem to understand what Ajin is saying. I succeeded in getting permission from the Demon King. Next is Devello. Azin continues to speak to Devello. Devello opens his mouth, silent.

[If that's the case. I...]

After a brief hesitation, Devello adds.

[What do I do?]

“If you don't mind. ”

Azin replies. I know what Devello is expecting. But Azin couldn't answer him clearly. At least for now. Azin waits for Devello's answer. If Devello refuses and leaves, Azin has no choice but to think of another way. Actually, it wasn't a big deal. There are more hands to be used. Even if you take a little time to use Harvest, you won't have any problems.

[Okay.]

Devello replies. As soon as he hears that, Azin opens the status window. He has entered the Follower category. A lot of names came to mind in Azin's view. They were all members of Azin, who believed in Azin, the ‘god'. Azin was conscious of Devello's name at the top.

‘There you go.'

Devello's name disappears from the list of followers. It was because Azin had been forcibly disconnected from Devello. This leaves no connection between Devello and Azin. Devello is no longer a devotee of Azin, and Azin is no longer a god of Devello.

“You got it?"

“Yes."

Azin nods and replies.

Acacia felt good. It was natural. She had been a transcendent for a long time, and she wanted to become a god for herself by gaining absolute power. Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, I was unable to get close to God. It was not just Acacia who was in that position. Five transcendents, including Acacia, challenged the throne, but never gained absolute power.

But that remains to this day. Acacia saw Azin defeat the Demon King. In fact, I didn't see any conclusion. I wanted to see what had happened since, but I couldn't confirm because the space was covered with noise.

‘It doesn't matter.’

The Demon King admitted defeat. That's it. Acacia has won, and now she will be the new god of the world by accepting her absolute power from Gladiolus. How does it feel? Acacia swallowed a smile with a palpitation. It is said to be transcendent, but it cannot be compared to the power of God. The transcendent is a challenge to becoming a god because he has a desire to possess it.

‘First, I have to get rid of the other transcendents I don't like. ’

I let it go so far. It was mostly because the conflict between the transcendents led to destruction. But if you become a god, there is no such thing as destruction.

‘No, I think it's better to subdue me than that. It'll be fun to keep the proud ones under your feet. ’

It was a very pleasant concern. Yeah, that's it. There is a ‘chirping’ sound. Acacia looks at the direction of the sound. The noise caused the invisible space to recover. Acacia looks at you with an unorthodox thought.

And soon I was fascinated.

“W-what are you doing?! ”

At that moment, Acacia was in the first place. She looks at the scene in front of her eyes, with a white face. Acacia was unable to comprehend the series of situations unfolding before her eyes. The Demon King stands unharmed and beside him stands a calm expression. If that were the case, Acacia wouldn't be surprised.

Devello's blade touches the Demon King's neck. I couldn't understand it. Why is Devello holding a knife to the Demon King's neck? And why is he just watching it? Acacia's face distorted. Azin opens his mouth, watching Acacia reveal herself.

“Come to think of it, resin doesn't seem right.” “... What? ”

In Azin's words, Acacia struggled to suppress the uproar. Azin gives Devello a glance. Then Devello quietly moves his blade. The sharp slit of the blade slashes the Demon King's neck. Then the wound started to bleed red.

“It's said to be a system like this at first, but I've done everything I can as a proxy. That you were God, that you chose me.” “... Yes? ”

Acacia questioned that and used her authority as GM to examine Devello's relationship with Ajin. Devello is a follower of Azin and is included in Azin's forces. Even if Devello slits the Demon King's throat, the winner gets sick.

I'm disconnected! ’

Acacia's face distorted. The connection between God and the congregation has been severed. Then, when Devello kills the Demon King, the winner of the game becomes Devello. Acacia cried out, looking at the Demon King.

“Why are you still?! ”

The Demon King's power is healthy. If the Demon King decides, Devello's blade will never be able to invade the Demon King. But the Demon King did not do so.

“I didn't want to. ”

The Demon King replies, he has joined this ridiculous country play. Acacia's head quickly returns. In this situation, Azin, who Acacia knows, was never the kind of person who gave up his own food to someone else.

“... what do you want from me? ”

Acacia struggles to stay calm and asks. Asin, who was waiting for his answer, replied without changing his face.

“I told you, Susie doesn't fit. ”

“... but it's impossible for you to become a god. In this world, you have the power to obey God, but the reality is that you are weak after all...!” I know. ”

Azin nods. Azin glances at Devello. At first it was gambling, but now it's not gambling. Not if the Demon King and Devello agree to cooperate. If Devello really betrays and tries to kill the Demon King, the Demon King will not be killed by Devello. I've already heard the answer from the Demon King.

‘What should I do? ’

Ajin waits for Devello's response rather than Acacia's. Do you really want me to do what Devello tells you to do? If Devello is greedy enough to kill the Demon King. With it, Azin's relationship with Devello is completely destroyed. Azin glances at Devello. Devello looks like he's wearing a fixed mask on his face. She holds the sword to the Demon King's neck, but does not move a muscle.

“... so. What do you want me to do? I'll listen to anything you can do, so just say the word! ”

Knowing that Azin wanted to negotiate, Acacia calmed down and said. Azin, looking at Devello's reaction, opens his mouth as he glances at Acacia.

“One wish is not enough. ”

“... Yes? ”

“That's what the story was all about. If the delegate wins, the delegate grants the delegate one wish. When I think about it, resin doesn't fit. One wish is not enough.” “... So? ”

“I want to increase my wishes to five. ”

Azin immediately replied. With one hand spread out and five fingers, Acacia's mouth was halfway opened.

“Five wishes? ”

“I think that's possible. ”

Against his words, Acacia's face distorted. Acacia hesitates again for a moment.

“... depending on the content of your wish... I think it will be possible.” “I need an answer. ”

“What do you want to wish for...?” “Leave this world as one independent world. ”

Azin folds a finger.

“Make me and Devello inhabitants of this world. In this case, our body is our current avatar. ”

Fold your fingers back.

“Keep functioning as a game while letting it be an independent world. ”

This wish was added to restore the world that was destroyed. The war killed too many NPCs. If time passes, it will recover, but in that case it takes too long. So I had to leave the player alone.

“Bring GM into existence, but do not allow direct interference in the world. If you must, consult with me. ”

And the last finger.

“Never change the wishes above. ”

So five wishes. His original wish was to live in this world. It's because if you keep the game in its form, you can continue to enter the world as a player. But that's not enough. After all, Azin is only a player.

So we are negotiating with Acacia with the help of the Demon King. If you make one wish out of five, all the desires of Azin will come true. It is only because of this wish that Azin and Devello are foolish in reality or not.

There was nothing to think about. For Azin, there was not a shred of unrest left in reality. And it was the same with Devello. That's why he answered Devello's question. If you don't have any sense of humor.

“... umm...”

Acacia frowns and thinks. I never thought I would hear such a request from Ajin. Acacia had no choice but to feel at ease.

“... what if I can't hear you? ”

“Then it's over. ”

“You came all this way to give up your victory...?" ”“ Winning doesn't mean anything. ”

“I know you're lying. You're not a human being. You're just threatening me and pushing me!” “That's right. This is blackmail and blackmail. I'm in no hurry. Even if the game is postponed. But not you. ”

Azin asks again. You must not show weakness here. Akzin holds the sack, but Acacia was able to resist it as much as she wanted. Acacia nods as she sighs.

“Okay, I'll do as you wish. Five wishes, if that's what it is. ”

It wasn't that hard to listen to it. In the beginning this world, First, has already functioned as an independent world.

“I need an oath. ”

Azin opens his mouth. Then Acacia frowns and spits out again.

“... Okay. I pledge my existence and grant your wish. ”

In the end, Acacia had no choice but to say so. He nodded, smiling and smiling.

“Good.”

Devello drops his sword. In her head, Chrysanthemum kept shouting. Now swing that sword and kill the Demon King. I'll grant you anything you want. But Devello remains motionless. Crissandsham also said that he would change Azin's emotions to become Devello's, but even so, Devello did not waver.

It was because I didn't want that.

“It's a country play.”

The Demon King smiled and said. Azin nods as he approaches the Demon King.

“That's right."

Ajin did not deny it.

“But this was the best for me. No matter how much I crawl in the game, I'm a human being after all.” “But not from now on. ”

The Demon King mutters.

“Even if you were human in reality, if that wish had been granted and you lived in this world... you would be a god. God of this world. ”

The Demon King mutters and closes his eyes. Without answering the Demon King's words, Azin reaches out to the Blindfold Demon King.

That's it.

The game I've played for almost 10 years is over.

In that, he felt no slight regret.
