The Devil’s Origin
94. Demon King vs. Hero
"Stop the negative chain...?"
"Yeah, us."
< Demon King, that's a dangerous idea!... God doesn't want it. God's hope is that the balance of human and demon life will shake... > >
The system sounds an alarm in a hurry.
I know. An everlasting chain of hatred. Such cruel specs, damn it.
"Kill Latour, you know it too." Even if I... drop the demon king's head, a new demon king will be born. Even if I'm lucky enough to kill you, I'll be able to choose a new hero. "
It's a chain of... hatred...
"Yeah. I... don't want to be swayed by a chain like that." I don't want my loved ones to suffer from hatred forever... I don't want that... "
"But... the Devil King... Mao-kun... you said it." Some demons hate me. Some people have a grudge against being murdered by their flesh and blood. I can't get rid of that hatred... "A lot of hatred has already been born. The chain is already...."
"Oh, right. I won't tell you to forget that hatred."
How much better to be forgotten? However, the wounds that were forcibly detached remain permanently distorted. That's why...
"Hatred never goes away. However, we should be able to relieve that hatred over time.”
"For a long time...?"
"Hey, Kill Latour, I'm not talking about a year or two of that."
If this negative chain has lasted too long.
We have to take the same amount of time and walk up.
"For generations and generations, it may take a thousand or two thousand years, but over a long period of time, we can create an era where humans and demons can coexist"
Beyond the parallel, no matter how long it took, if there's a point where the two meet... I'll plant the seeds for it. If that's what I can do.
No matter how long it takes, if there is still a path of coexistence ahead.
"A thousand years... two thousand years..."
"Oh, here we go." Even if it takes a long time, aim for the day when both meet. I don't know if it's the next generation of humans and demons. Slowly deepen the dialogue and understanding, and gradually relieve the hatred. Well, maybe the first thing we need to do before we do is keep our distance so we don't kill each other. First the inviolable treaty, then the little bit of interaction. "
It looks like Kira can't hide her confusion from the long story.
"Have you forgotten? Kill Latour, I am the Devil King. Moreover, he was a young demon king who had not been born in this world for a year. I have plenty of time. You look like a demon with a long life, and you'll be able to watch it live for a long time to come."
”It's old... ahhh... I see...”
"I will suggest to the demons that they intervene in humans first." It might be difficult at once, but the human side has no choice but to let Kira move. "
"Non-interference in the demon race... Now, there are many people who think that the demon king has been defeated and that seeing the demon race itself is less." It's not difficult to make humans think that the demon race has perished...... just..... "
"Just...?"
"I don't really... know. Of course, I understood from what I said earlier that some demons who hate you... no, because they thought it was absolutely evil because of the chain of hatred, love their children just like humans and want a world without disputes. In the same way... if I don't have to fight... if I don't have to kill... if I have such a future, I have a desire to do so. But... can you really... do such a future...?"
"I guess so." It is about eighty years for a man to live for a long time. It may be difficult for humans to think of any longer. ”
Hey, system.
< What? Demon King >
I can lay eggs from all the demonic species.
< >
From human to plant, from bugs to evil spirits.
< >
Well, then, how about "human"? Is it possible to mate?
<...... you must be the first demon king to hear such a thing > >
The system gave a hesitant sign, but it seemed to sigh in a tiny way.
< It's possible, Demon King. Now you can produce eggs with any creature.
"Kill Latour, I understand your hesitation." Even if you were the greatest, you were a human. Sixty years from now, you'll be dead. "Beyond that, it would be frankly hard to believe that this covenant would be upheld."
"I don't doubt that much anymore... but..." I see... I don't know what will happen after I die... "
”Then... I'll let you inherit... the covenant between the demon king and the brave.”
"Something to inherit my will...?"
"Oh, to my child Kira."
Kira hardened like she was shocked by the words. The demons around him were breathless.
I gently stroke my still-empty belly and dream of a distant future.
"Whether the covenant between humans and demons is protected or managed from the human side... but if you are my child, I will never let the demons do anything." I don't know if it will be his grandchildren or his grandchildren. "
If the child inherits hope in the distant future.
"A world where demons can live happily without the power of a demon king... a world that no longer needs the power of a hero"
A parallel world beyond hate, where different races intersect.
Wouldn't you like to see a world where demons and humans can laugh happily?
From Kira's eyes, a tear falls.
"Hahaha... what a terrible demon king..."
With that troubled face, like a smile.
"You... don't touch one finger and erase the value of the" Future Hero "." I don't think anyone can defeat a demon king like that... if I wipe out the reason for fighting... "
Kira laughed like she was in trouble, kneeling on the floor. Tears overflow from behind.
"It's a complete defeat. Let me... help you build a future where humans and demons don't kill each other." Let me dream about a world that doesn't need brave people or demon kings. "
"Oh, Kill Latour, I promise you as the Demon King." no matter how long it takes.... "
A world where no one grieves anymore.
