The Returner

Barbace glanced at Lee Hyuk with a smile.

“Now that I think about it as the last time, I feel like you're amazing. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

Barbace smiles.

“Even as a man, you have fallen alone into the barn and ascended to the position of the Demon King. ”

“I'm sick of it. You can stop now. ”

“I thought you were human, but not human. Humans who can live forever cannot be called Humans. But now that I've seen these things, I'm starting to realize something. By giving other humans eternal time, can they reach your level? ”

“Eh……. ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head.

“That shouldn't be too hard. ”

“I don't think so. ”

“Actually, they're catching the Demon King just by teaching them a lesson. You guys tend to think very highly of yourselves, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. ”

Barbace shakes his head quietly.

“It's not that hard to walk the path someone has made. Those who have come up the path you have paved may think they are great themselves, but it is not that great to me. What's really great is that you fell into the middle of the desert without a compass or a map, and you built yourself a city in the middle of the desert. ”

“To……. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed.

“No, no, I get it... it's not like you and I are having this conversation. I just want you to say something. ”

“Here's what I'm going to say. ”

“Huh?"

Barbace smiles.

“You're a human being, the Demon King. And you're the dominant figure in that position. Representing humans, not lacking to lead them. It's full of garages. ”

“… Representative? ”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyuk sighed.

“Th-the great Demon King, you may not know it because your brain is so muscular, but we humans are not as simple as you, because you're stronger, and you're awesome." This is a very dirty, high-dimensional, difficult concept of politics. The strongest individuals represent that species, and this is the concept of beasts. ”

“It doesn't matter.”

“No…… ”

“You know that, right? The system you have built in this world has already fallen. ”

“Well……. ”

“And now it will fall. Now the world as you know it is over. Now it will be a world ruled by power. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“So what do you want to say? ”

“Surrender.”

“ ……. ”

Lee Hyuk frowned.

What the hell is that headless guy saying...?

“Then I will ensure your survival. ”

“To?”

Lee Hyuk's eyes widened.

“Survival guarantees? ”

“Yes.”

Barbacce speaks quietly.

“I guarantee the survival of all remaining humans. In return, you rule humanity. By agreeing with us. ”

“... Are you crazy? ”

“You know best that I'm not, right? ”

“Of course you are. Your spirit of living in eternal time must be unshakeable. There can't be a notion of insanity. But I can't say this without going crazy. ”

Lee Hyuk sighed.

“So, what, you're going to try to coexist with humans? We could have a united kingdom, a peace treaty? ”

“That wouldn't be so bad either. ”

“Hey, Barbacce. ”

“Speak.”

“Will you stop talking nonsense? You don't want to leave humans alone anyway. Your guarantee of survival is to put a human into the life of hell and enjoy it. to take the negative energy out of it. ”

“I'm not wrong. ”

“Then what? You want me to take torture for granted? ”

“Heave-ho.”

Barbatch laughs.

“Not like you, Nineteenth Demon King. ”

“Does this have to be another typical line? What am I, a jerk? ”

“You've always been the best thinker in the worst situations. ”

“... What are you talking about, again? ”

“You know the best thing you can do right now is hold my hand. ”

Lee Hyuk shook his hand.

“Oh, yeah, okay. All right, enough chitchat. ”

“How about this? ”

Barbacce narrows his eyes as he speaks.

“We will no longer do anything to you. I promise you in my name. ”

“... Is this really crazy? ”

Lee Hyuk couldn't understand Barbacea at all.

After pushing me all the way here, why are you saying that you want to leave now?

“Don't you know? ”

“… what, man? ”

“Humans can only suffer if I don't use my hands already. ”

Lee Hyuk's face was hard.

“You cannot live without civilization. Different if you were born primitive from the start. But now we have to live here. Look."

Barbace raises his hand and points around.

“The civilization you created. In my eyes, all the surprising and glorious civilizations collapsed. Now you will miss what you have lost and curse your present life. ”

“Have you studied anthropology? ”

“You don't even have to study. The fact that the Nineteenth Demon King of the world is not disputing at all proves that I am right. ”

Lee Hyuk did not refute.

I hate to admit it, but there's nothing wrong with Barbacce. The world was closely connected, and was influenced and influenced by each other.

Several cities in South Korea, including Busan, survived, but that alone prevented humanity from dying.

Even if we stop them now, the rest of them will have a hell of a life waiting for them.

I could probably live with the food and other benefits that I had stored up for a while, but after that, it was a problem.

"Hell."

The triumph of every civilization that sustained human life was shattered. And because of the nucleus that was poured out to die, the earth was flooded with radiation.

Nor can those exposed.

Lee Hyuk was able to understand why Barbase was making this offer. If they use negative energy from human emotions and pain as their driving force, there is no better situation.

Just by making humans stay in their current situation, they get a farm that is constantly feeding them energy.

If Lee Hyuk recognizes and convinces the situation, he will try to control the human condition through Lee Hyuk.

“This sucks.”

What really angered Lee Hyuk was the one who couldn't reject the offer, saying, "Screw you."

Can only humans handle the power in front of him now, from a cold and objective perspective?

Herd.

It was absolutely impossible.

Nearly thirty Demon Kings are camped out in front of them at first glance. At this rate, it is not enough power to destroy one dimension.

And now they're stopping them with a few remaining human forces?

It is impossible even if Lee Hyuk regains his full strength and gets his immortality back.

However, Lee Hyuk had already lost his strength. He can only trust those who have the ability to handle imperfect Mana. How can we win against them?

Will everyone die in the struggle, or will they live a humiliating life?

Choice is not easy.

And Lee Hyuk didn't have the right to choose it.

“What are you waiting for? ”

“Huh?"

Seo Ah-young said in a nervous tone.

“You used to be a fearless man. I shouldn't have hesitated or hesitated here. Then why are you praying in fear? Blow it all you want. ”

“ ……. ”

“You want me to live as the Demon King's pet? I don't do that. No, I can't. If you won't fight, I'll fight alone. I'd rather die a human than live as a livestock. ”

“You were right. ”

Kim Da-hyun put his sword on the ground.

“If you fight, you may win, but you never surrender without a fight." I don't play the game, I don't play the Suren. ”

“I'm not proud of that, asshole. ”

Yoon Hyuk-gyu covered her face.

He said as if the Alpha was interesting.

“I didn't expect the Demon King to offer. I thought they were intelligent but lacking in empathy, so they didn't know how to confront their opponents... Is it because they don't have to guess, or is the Demon Lord Barbacce different from the other Demon Kings? ”

“Probably both. ”

“Either way, fine. The offer was fun, but, well, it's not worth listening to. ”

“Why?”

“Impossible. As long as they stay and play in this world, there will be clashes again. If they had to leave this world, they wouldn't have just left. They wouldn't have said that. So we have to coexist with them on a planet called Earth, because it's too small for us. As roommates, they're disgusting. ”

“That's right. ”

“So make a wise decision. ”

“Hmm.”

Lee Hyuk last saw Jung-hoon's face.

“To……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward to Lee Hyuk.

“Huh?"

I thought he would say something stable, but Choi Jung-hoon came to Lee Hyuk's side without saying a word. Then he smiled, looking at Barbados.

“My opinion is simple. ”

Choi Jung-hoon raised his middle finger.

“Screw you, my dear Demon King. ”

“… wow! ”

Choi Jung-hoon's most violent reaction, which he thought was the most mild, made Lee Hyuk crazy.

“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Yes?”

“A man dies once. ”

“ ……. ”

“Let's die trying. Don't beg.”

“Mmmm... ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“I heard.”

Barbace was not shaken at all, even though he had heard many words. His eyes were staring at Lee Ji-hyuk from the beginning.

“I don't care what those bastards say. What I want is your answer. Answer me, Lee Hyuk. Will you accept my offer? Then I will give you unlimited power and power. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Lee Hyuk scratched his head and said.

“Hey."

“ ……. ”

“Would you come under me? No matter how weak you are? ”

“… I can't do that. ”

“Right?"

Lee Hyuk smiled and said.

“Don't force others to do what you can't. That's the foundation of relationships, asshole. ”

Barbatch's face twists violently.
