Chapter 96 - World Peace (2/2)
”From today onwards, there will be no wars. I will it that if a nation dares to start conflict with another, they will my destroyed to their last person.”
”Diplomatic relations will open between all realms effective as soon as possible.”
”As your lord, I hope you understand that these changes are for the good of all. Any hate or animosity between races, I do not care about. You will all follow these laws or face the consequences.”
”And there will be a selection for my disciples from each nation. I expect a batch of 10 candidates from every nation by the end of the next week. Do not disappoint me.”
Simon finished his address and looked at the defiant angels with a face of pity.
”You still want to strike up conflict with me just because of my race? I am not sure who the real fiend is here. I just established world peace while you were shouting that I should die; your ancestors would be bowing down to me for my deed and vilifying you all for your heinous words.”
”Truely pitiful. An agent of peace is only seen as a fiend.” Simon internally laughed at his fine acting. He was by no means altruistic, but he did believe world peace would make his homeland safer. It also worked as a way to slap those angels right across their egotistical faces.
”Uhhh... Lord, We sincerely apologise for our hateful words and ask that you may forgive us for being blind.” One of them said as she kowtowed before Simon.
At this point in time, the devil were finally coming to realise what was happening. Karlus was utterly amazed and speechless of how his son had become. Other noble devils felt pride in knowin that a devil had finally reached the peak of existences in the realm. People that knew Simon could only nod somewhat after falling into a lapse of shock. This is Simon, Ruler of the realm, subjugator of all life, bringer of world peace.
Is there more to say?
”Light, you have done well in acknowledging my power and kneeling early. I hereby grant you the position of outer disciple. Since your talent is suitable, I will grant you techniques that will allow you to become much more powerful than you can ever imagine. But know that you will never be able to defeat me.” Simon hovered over Light and handed the latter a thick red book.
”I, Light, am now the disciple of Lord Simonifirac Crypts. I will obey every word of my master and learn all that he teaches me with an open mind and a determined heart!”
Light never expected Simon to outright declare world peace just like that. He did not know that such a thing would be possible. But then again, Simon had more than enough power to do so. All he had to do was order Light and take care of things on the devil side, and world peace could be established like that.
That could be interpreted as grace and mercy, but Simon knew it was just for efficiency.
