89 . Replenish power (1)
Maria raised her voice in disbelief as she painted her face in disbelief.
“The Demon King… How blasphemous is that!”
It was absurd.
I went up to her Maria and looked down at her with her bug-like gaze and asked.
“Disrespect? Are you guys qualified to say that word?”
Maria kept her mouth shut, and she still looked at me with hostility. I didn’t understand. Why are you still looking at me like that?
You fooled me with a kind smile until now, how much did you laugh at me afterwards? It would have felt like seeing a clown to become a porter at a party going to catch my brother.
I laugh out loud. I trampled on her Maria’s head and continued her speech, ignoring her painful moaning beneath her.
“I am also an idiot. To think I liked you, who was cheating on me with the church and the country.”
Maria began to rebel desperately.
“I, I did nothing wrong. It’s not this country’s fault that it uses ignorant children as it pleases!”
Did you think you would die if you stayed like this? Seeing him screaming, I felt ridiculed without even realizing it.
He overlooked the most important fact.
“Really? Then why do you know that and still immerse yourself in the cult?”
“That, that… !”
“If I were you… If you thought the Order was really weird, you would have come out of that group long ago.”
I can guess why Maria didn’t come out of the church. In the past, I like caring for others, wanting to be a source of strength for them, etc… He must have only remembered the reason why the flower fields bloomed on his head.
But now it’s different. Her true nature was not that of a saint that appears in such stories.
An authoritative, scum who enjoys treating others more than anyone else, a guy whose comfort is more important than anything else. There is only one reason why such a guy is attached to the church.
To later rise to the rank of Archbishop and put this country in his hands.
Coming into the party, remaining in the church, sacrificing my own body and putting my younger brother in the position of the demon king… For the day to come.
Stella came up next to me before I knew it and pushed me slightly.
“Dad, you don’t have to deal with a woman like this. We’ll take care of it.”
The children will be better at this than I am. Maria had no pity or emotion left. No matter what her children did to him, it never got on my nerves.
“Yes, please.”
“Ah, Ain! Please!”
Stella kicked Maria in the face, who was still screaming loudly.
Her head bent back at once, as if her neck had been shattered, and Maria’s painful moan flowed from beyond.
“Keuk, kkeuk….”
Patter – With a sound, a large amount of blood poured out of Maria’s mouth at once.
Stella didn’t stop there, grabbed Maria by her hair and put her head behind her again.
“Do you think we will kill you like this? No You will suffer more terrible pain than death.”
Maria’s eyes were still on me.
Somehow, I laughed at the desperate gaze that seemed to know that I was the only one who could stop the children.
“Ain! Don’t you want your brother back?! I can stop… ! So guys….”
Maria’s next words did not come out of the world. As Stella grabbed Maria by the neck and lifted her into the air, Maria began to struggle ungainly like a fish on land.
I grabbed Stella’s wrist and, thinking of listening to Maria’s final excuse for desperately resisting, told Stella to release it, and she immediately released the power she had given to her hand.
Maria slumped to her floor, her venomous eyes glaring at me as she screamed.
“Do you think you can find your brother if you do this to me!? That magic can only be solved by us!”
Stella approached again, untangling her hand at Maria’s bemused attitude.
“This is still….”
“Stella, it’s okay.”
I slightly bent her knees, leveled her eye level with the fallen Maria on the floor, and said in a cold, subdued tone.
“Maria, how long can you be so arrogant? I’m a little curious. Besides, do you think Elia can’t break the magic created by humans?”
Behind her, Elia nodded with her confident expression.
“You are a normal human being too! Do you know how easy it is to be the Demon King?”
Yes, as Maria said, I have been an ordinary human until now. It was virtually impossible for me to lead the demons and overturn a firmly established system or country.
Of course, only if the assumption is attached that I will remain an ordinary human until the end.
Isn’t it with me right now?
I took turns looking at each child’s face, then spoke confidently.
“Can you?”
They seemed to know what I wanted, even if I didn’t have to say it.
“Dad, isn’t that obvious?”
What Cassandra wanted so much, to inherit the power of evil spirits.
But I knew that too. If I receive this power, I will live only for them for the rest of my life. As their priests until the day their souls are subordinated and this world ends.
‘Now?’
Anyway, I gave up on living as a human long ago. There was no need to think about it again.
Besides, they are more precious than my life. If I could live for them, I was willing to do so.
If the world oppresses me, I will be the one to destroy even it.
Like I promised in the past, even if I had to sell my soul.
It was Olivia who approached me first.
Olivia put on a pod and held my hand and smiled brightly.
“Today is finally here. I waited a long time.”
Riding Olivia’s fingertips, her golden magic begins to sway.
I feel an energy that is so powerful that humans can’t handle it spreads through my body.
I started imprinting on my head how to use the power, but at the same time, uncontrollable pain began to rip through my body. Was this what being under the power of an evil spirit meant? It felt like all kinds of negative human emotions were flowing in.
If the children hadn’t embraced me, I would have been swallowed up in this pain and died of shock.
Her pain barely subsided, and Olivia looked at me with tears in her eyes.
“I had a hard time….”
The ceremony, which started with Olivia, continued to Stella, Noah, and Elia in turn before it finally came to an end. I didn’t feel the pain like the first time. Is it because my body has gotten used to their power?
After handing over their respective powers one by one, and after all the situations are over, it definitely feels different from before.
Stella, standing next to me, caressed my cheek with a bright smile.
“There will be no one in this world who can match my father.”
At the same time, Elia crossed her arms at me and said something eerie that didn’t go well with her bright smile.
“Then where should I break it? Can we move on our own now? Can I kill all the flying flies that cling to you?”
Olivia nodded her head, agreeing with Ellia.
“Of course not. Dad is ours now, so you can kill all the other women. Oh, and wouldn’t it be better to destroy the capital from the people who bullied Dad? How is Noah?”
“I like anywhere as long as it’s next to my dad.”
Every child started talking about a plan to destroy the world that didn’t go well with their bright voices. The more that happened, the more Maria’s expression fell into hell.
“Let’s go out for now.”
I couldn’t talk in the basement forever. I wanted to undo the world that divided me and my brother, the world that exploited children.
“Oh, Stella? Can you bring him out?”
Stella hit Maria who had fallen on her floor with her foot and gave her a disapproving look, but she had no choice but to drag Maria’s hair back to the ground because it was my request.
As I came out of the basement, an unexpected person greeted me.
“Ain?”
Rihanna looked like she couldn’t understand the current situation.
“What is all this about?”
Olivia went to Rihanna before she knew it and said while gently caressing Rihanna’s hair.
“Puppy, shouldn’t you figure out the situation and talk to me?”
The threat hidden behind that gentle tone was irresistible. She said nothing, but Rihanna, threatened by her children, threw her eyes down and began to shake her body.
Is this why Rihanna has been particularly obedient to children? I wasn’t even surprised anymore.
But Rihanna wasn’t particularly guilty. It is true that she was close to me, and she got along well with the children. It was a shame to leave her like this.

For this situation, one experience is better than a hundred words.
I put my hand on Rihanna’s head and forced the things I had been through into her brain.
At first he put on a distressed expression, but then he looked at Maria sternly with an expression of disbelief. Even if Rihanna sees that she had nothing to do with my sister, the atrocities she committed against her were not something she could forgive.
“I don’t say long words. I will break this world Rihanna, you live somewhere in the countryside or hidden in this town. I have no intention of harming you.”
However, the children’s thoughts were different.
Elia looked at me as she gently wrapped her body around Rihanna.
“No. Dad, there are so many places for our doggie to use. Huh? Can’t we just take him?”
It was like a child bullying her father for refusing to pet her dog.
“Elia is right. I don’t think it’ll help much, but I think it’s better to replenish more power.”
“Really? What do you think?”
Rihanna, hugged by Elia, looked at me with her terrified expression.
“I, I….”
Then, Elia whispered something of hers in Rihanna’s ear, and Rihanna’s expression brightened in an instant.
“That, is that real?”
“Then there is no reason for us to lie to the doggie, is there?”
Rihanna’s expression brightened before she knew it, and she got up from her seat and brushed the dust off her clothes before coming to my side.
“I can’t throw you away twice, can I? I will be by your side until the end.”
I don’t know what kind of proposal Elia made, but judging by her instantly brightened expression, it must have been a sweet offer that Rihanna couldn’t refuse.
After Maria was roughly thrown to the floor, Stella, who was crossing her arms, made a suggestion.
“Six is too few. Continents will be conquered enough, but it will take some time. If it’s okay with Dad, would you like to use someone else?”
“Anyone else?”
Understanding Stella’s words, the rest of the children smiled eerily.
“Oh, those guys were there, right? Well, that should be pretty useful.”
With an unknown sound, the children’s first destination was the town where Helga was last seen.
