Reincarnation Monarch

Lesson 298: Development

"... you'll see even more amazing when you look up close..."

As Gaius descended from the giant rift and went down to hell, he looked up at the golden giant spire that stood in front of him at a height of 100M (Merkle) and groaned so in a sighing mixture.

"I've never seen it, but it's no worse than a building on the ground, is it?

"Right. It's called size and good height, isn't architectural technology equivalent or better? But what's more amazing than that is this glow... all the buildings are shining... this tower is golden... hey, could this be made of pure gold... there is no such thing as that?

"... come on? I don't know... but what if it is?

"On the ground, the value of gold is so high. If we could take this tower back to the ground, maybe a small country would be worth buying just like that, huh?

"Seriously!? That's funny...... you want to try it?

"How... there's no way I can carry such a big one, and the owner of this tower wouldn't forgive me for that in the first place, would he?

"Why don't you ask me to look at it? Maybe you could ask for one or two of these towers?

"... Really? I mean, who do you ask?

"It's decided. To the demons who rule this area."

"So who is that?

"It's Delkia. I'm a lord around here, and all the land and buildings I can see are hers. Isn't that great?"

"That's amazing."

"Isn't that right? This is the only building I've got, as long as Delkia likes it, it'll be about one of the towers in no time."

"Well, leave that story alone, this is the top level of hell, right? At the top, if this size and luxury, how awesome is the bottom floor?

"Right...... well wouldn't that be so different?

"Really?

"Yeah. 'Cause it's been tens of thousands of years since we were sealed in hell by God back in the old days, hasn't it?

That doesn't make a lot of difference because the development is already underway. "

"Development... is a hell of a word..."

"What's that bias? Well, hell is a bad name in the first place - maybe it's time to change your name."

"... well, how did you do development, leaving aside the renaming issue?

"I don't care how you say it... well, I heard you started at the bottom of hell, didn't you?

"The lowest level of hell...... on earth is what they call a mourning river"

"Yeah, that's it. That's it. I heard there was a river frozen at absolute zero degrees, and all the finest demons were physically imprisoned in that river."

"That's exactly the same story I was hearing on the ground. But that's where the conversation comes from."

"Right. It took thousands of years to melt an absolutely zero degree river."

Gaius gave the look of surprise.

"... melted little by little... God... God does that"

Then Coppin answered blocking Gaius's words.

"You don't know, do you? I've been developing hell from there for tens of thousands of years, but I've only attacked you once, and that was only a thousand years ago recently."

Coppin closed his right eye patsy like that and winked adorably.

Gaius was frightened by the gap between Coppin's words and his actions, causing him to gently pull his cheeks and laugh bitterly.
