Book 10 Chapter 248 (2/2)
“Fine. Under the condition that you obediently obey me and not do useless tricks.”
“Thank you. However, I have one more request.”
Agares took out a map of the demon world.
She placed it on the circular tabletop and pointed to the eastern area.
“This is Lilith’s Sanctuary. It’s where Aleister and the Seven Sinister Witches live.”
“Right. What’s the problem?”
“They have been building large-scale buildings using demons since a year ago. But no one can figure out what they’re building.”
Agares was curious about what Lilith was trying to complete.
She had always been wary of Lilith.
Lilith was always acting in secret.
‘A large construction…’
Was she planning on building something like a pyramid for the advent of the next Demon Lord?
Suddenly he became curious, too, so he nodded and said, “Alright. Let’s find out. I don’t know how long it will take, though.”
“Lilith’s Sanctuary is located right next to my demonic estate, so I will notify you as soon as there is any new information.”
Agares hoped that her demonic estate wouldn’t be damaged or destroyed due to Lilith’s wacky plans.
As Woohyuk continued conversing with her, the other Demon Kings appeared one by one.
“I’m called Jefar, the 16th ranked Demon King.”
“I’m the 37th ranked…”
The incoming Demon Kings introduced themselves in turn.
However, Woohyuk raised his hand because he knew all 72 Demon Kings from his past experiences.
“Enough, sit down. This is not a social gathering.”
“… Then, we’ll take our seats inside.”
The Demon Kings stated their negotiation proposal to Woohyuk.
Like Agares, they wanted to be guaranteed their autonomy in exchange for their loyalty to him, and Woohyuk accepted their proposals.
“When you do not have any orders, you will be free. However, since you all usually manage the demonic estates, if necessary, I may request some of your resources or labor.”
“… We are satisfied and able to agree to that,” Agares said.
The fact was that he gave Agares more preferential treatment than the other Demon Kings.
She was the head of the moderate group, so it was worth it to give her some additional benefits to better have her on his side.
“Was the next question about the Game of Divine Thrones?” Woohyuk asked.
“Yes, the Creator’s intervention has put us in a difficult position. Recently, even epic dungeons with rewards of S-cla.s.s artifacts have emerged,” a Demon King explained.
From some point on, the Demon Kings began to act and speak like Woohyuk’s va.s.sals.
Woohyuk looked around and spoke aloud, “The four empty seats will be filled with my allies among the other races. I’m going to make sure the spots are not taken by anyone else.”
“Although you may consider them allies right now, those who you support onto the Divine Thrones may change their stance and betray you once they are seated. Why don’t you just leave all the seats empty?” a Demon King suggested.
“I also think that would be best. When the Second Demon War takes place, the G.o.ds will have no choice but to stand on the Creator’s side,” another Demon King followed up.
The Demon Kings were very negative about Woohyuk’s plan to fill the open seats.
However, Woohyuk stood firm on his position.
“Angels and G.o.ds have a history of fighting against the Creator. Don’t think in extremes,” Woohyuk said.
“… If Asura says so, I will have to follow your words. You are now the ruler of the Demon World,” a Demon King replied.
“I think we need to thoroughly manage the epic dungeons. Who are you going to entrust this to?” a Demon King asked.
Inside the epic dungeons, there were angels from the Creator’s camp who acted as dungeon managers.
Therefore, it was necessary to block access from outside the epic dungeons in advance, lest another party take control.
Of course, it was difficult for 72 Demon King to openly come out in this world because there was a wanted prize from the universal quest. They wouldn’t be able to move freely and enforce the perimeters of any epic dungeons.
“If it’s difficult to mobilize the demons, it would be better to use other forces, such as the Automated Calvary,” Woohyuk said.
“The Automated Calvary? Are you referring to the magic weapon that Aleister made and used last time?”
“Yes. At that time, I overpowered it and experimented on it.”
Ishvar Unit 1.
In Inotia, it was possible to ma.s.s-produce the robotic calvary units, as they were able to reproduce them using Ishvar Unit 1 as a prototype.
If they weren’t enough units, he could also further research Alice the Queen of Thorns and develop an undead force.
Additionally, there were also two Homunculus that Aris was repairing.
When Woohyuk revealed his plans and the firepower at his disposal, the Demon Kings looked at him with admiration.
“He is our Asura. To have already prepared such a thorough countermeasure…”
“I’m pretty capable.”
Before his return, Woohyuk had reigned over the Eeth Continent as the strongest overlord.
The Necromancer Logan and his 100,000 undead army and Ophelia, the Elven Queen who reached the pinnacle of pure magic, couldn’t beat him.
He sealed 72 Demon Kings, conquered giants and dragons, and accomplished various achievements.
And after his return, he was trying to do even more.
“It would be great if Asura took the Demon Lord throne as soon as possible. If that happens, the world will truly be set free…”
“Don’t jinx it. Anyway, now’s the time to subjugate you guys.”
Woohyuk took out Lemegeton.
Later, as he finished sealing all the Demon Kings, a series of system messages popped up in his mind.
[All 72 Demon Kings have been sealed with Lemegeton.]
[Lemegeton’s ability has been unlocked.]
[From now on, you can freely enter and leave the demon world.]
You have acquired the right to sit atop the Demon Lord Throne. A new challenge shall be issued.
