Episode 162 Summary (2)
“Can you really bear it? They say that the demonic beasts of the sea run wild regardless, but that is meaningless. “They fly in the sky as giant monsters with troops in their bellies.”
“But it can’t be helped. “This is our last resort.”
It is the palace of the demon world lord, the vampire Agares, and is the last line of defense for the demon world lords.
The atmosphere is gloomy. Those who managed to come together came together, but their numbers were shabby. They sensed that they were the only ones left alive and that the disaster that had struck the Demon World was coming to end them.
‘Where did this start?’
Everyone was thinking the same thing, although they didn’t say anything. This is especially true because the time it takes to collide and collapse is so fast compared to the period of time it has been endured.
I still couldn’t figure out why things had turned out like this.
“Negotiation doesn’t work with these guys. No mercy. Do you die fighting or just die? “That’s it.”
“I’m going crazy. “We’re being attacked by strange monsters whose origins we don’t know, not just other people!?”
From their perspective, Lucy is literally a disaster. A terrible disaster that appears at some point and suddenly turns against them, fights with them, and becomes stronger based on it.
The fact that he was a creditor who achieved a revolution, transcended the limits of his race, and brought down the devil was meaningless anymore.
After achieving their goal, they gave up on progress and remained stagnant, using up what little strength they had to keep each other in check.

It was only their fault, so they couldn’t open their mouths.
“What difference will it make if I regret it now? “It was decided from the moment we stopped cutting them out.”
No one cursed Baal, whose whereabouts were unknown. If you think about it, Baal was the only one who saw through the core of the problem and gathered his strength first to attack the demon king’s army.
Even though it failed and hastened the destruction, it was a meaningless assumption since the destruction would have been certain if the Demon King’s army had been given more time anyway.
“My lord. They, they are coming. “Filling the sky.”
Soon one of Agares’ men came running and told them that it was time.
All of the demon world lords who heard this gritted their teeth and stood up.
“let’s fight. “Shouldn’t we at least warn the new Demon King, who will become the ruler of the Demon World, not to dare to ignore us?”
They prepared for a final desperate fight.
I led all my troops and greeted the ship-type soldiers of the Demon King’s army crossing the sky.
“Prepare for bombardment.”
However, Lucy had no intention of giving them the kind of fierce hand-to-hand combat they wanted. Because it was more efficient.
“shelling.”
The ship-type soldiers that covered the island shot out the powerful magical energy that exploded within their bodies in the form of rays. The most powerful firepower that Lucy can extract based on her data.
Its power is strong enough to overturn a plain.
“Ugh!”
“Block, no, avoid!”
The entire island was a target of artillery fire. Lucy’s attack, which bombed like crazy without dismounting troops, stopped only when the output of the ship-type soldiers reached its limit.
“… … .”
Some of the demon world lords had already died from the bombardment. Agares, who had tried and failed to block the concentrated bombardment, sighed at the sight of Island Alpha, with part of its upper body blown off, its mouth wide open, and finally spitting out numerous troops.
“Without leaving a single object behind.”
The Demon King’s army attacked the last resistance group, which was already incapable of fighting, and continued its merciless massacre. Yuria and other special species also invaded and looked for the demon lords.
Those who were crazy from the bombardment had to fight against them in a staggered state without a proper plan prepared in advance.
“What a coward! “Have you no honor?”
“In the race for survival, the most important thing is efficiency. “It’s not about honor or pride.”
Yuria spewed out magic at the enraged enemies. Lucy’s Demon King-style magic, cast with strong heart resonance, is quick and concise.
Some of those who didn’t prepare properly ended up blowing it away.
“These guys… … .”
Moreover, Yuria was not the only problem. The lords of the Demon World are clearly people who can break the balance of the battlefield based on their strong power, but in the end, the only thing that gives them an edge is their power. There is a limit to the total amount of energy you have.
They only had a short time to show off their might, but soon they fell one by one from the combined efforts of the higher-ranking species who were relentlessly targeting them from all directions.
“If you are the devil, rule and rule like a devil! What on earth is this? Are you planning to kill everyone like this and fill the empty land with monsters?”
Agares, who had been watching the whole scene, shouted at Lucy. No matter how much I thought about it, Lucy’s actions were impossible to understand.
Lucy was the devil. They also admitted it. In that case, they just need to rule over themselves like demon kings. But Lucy didn’t do that. I couldn’t quite understand it.
“It’s not worth it. “You and everyone else living in this world mistakenly think that they are worthy beings, but that is not true.”
However, Lucy directly denied the cry. has no value. At those words, their eyes, which had skyrocketed with pride, wavered.
“The world is bigger than you can imagine. You are just a speck of dust in that huge world. Although we live in different situations, from a macroscopic perspective, we are at best just a chunk of data. “Even those of you who are a little more special than others cannot escape it.”
“What nonsense… … .”
“That’s why you lost to me. Because they misunderstood their own power and were conceited. “If you had acknowledged it and quickly come together, you could have changed the outcome, but you didn’t know that and remained as dust until the end.”
To Lucy, a hivemind whose huge colony has now grown to encompass the entire world, moves as one, all living things that think and act as individuals cannot help but be seen as worthless dust.
Especially since I have recently come into contact with a bigger world.
Of course, the demon world lords could not understand Lucy’s way of thinking. Because the fundamentals themselves are different in the first place.
“Whoever survives will prove which method is right.”
“Oh my.”
Lucy raised Longinus and struck the final blow. A powerful storm of magical power burst out at full power and swept them away.
It is not a power that can be endured when all strength is lost.
“Confirmed the death of six demon lords.”
“Now, are you going to work on stabilizing the demon world?”
“The too many troops produced to occupy the Demon Realm continue to consume nutrients even in a dormant state. So we need a way to consume it as efficiently as possible.”
After easily winning the last battle, Yuria asked Lucy about her future plans. As usual, the normal thing to do is to stabilize the occupied area, clear out the remnants, and establish a nest.
But Lucy shook her head.
“If you are going to waste your troops, how will you do it?”
“Now that we have cleaned up the Demon World, there is no reason to leave any other place behind.”
Although the mission to eradicate the traitors was finally accomplished, Lucy remained calm. It’s been a long time since we were satisfied with just that.
“Attack the continent. “To end the war going on on the continent and take over that place as well.”
Lucy turned her target. Toward the continental powers that once joined hands with the demon lords to win the great war. I already knew about them in detail.
Because there were informants who had already been planted on them, like Naan and Yuria.
“If that happens… … “The continent is like the Demon World.”
Yuria’s voice trembled.
Lucy is definitely different from an ordinary demon lord. However, the long-cherished wish of past demon kings was to conquer the continent.
In the end, Lucy decided to invade the continent like previous demon kings.
However, the results will be completely different from what we have seen so far. The continent is ultimately divided and fighting among itself, and above all, Lucy is a completely different being from previous demon kings.
One of its members, Yuria, had a hunch that the continent would not be able to withstand if Lucy’s Demon Lord’s army advanced properly. One’s hometown is trampled and destroyed, turning into a nest for the devil’s army.
“Are you going to kill the people living there like the demons?”
“It doesn’t seem to be very nutrient efficient, but it can be used as a nutrient.”
Yuria asked with a trembling voice, but Lucy was firm.
Thanks to this, Yuria closed her eyes tightly. Lucy doesn’t mind anything if she thinks it’s efficient. Right away, Raon also fought against his fellow elves under Lucy’s orders and eventually destroyed them.
The reward for having his life saved by Lucy. With that, Yuria had to fight against those who were her own people.
‘chris.’
In fact, it didn’t matter what happened to the others. In particular, the leaders of the coalition were evil traitors and enemies who betrayed themselves and the volunteer army. If you can get revenge on them, why not?
The only thing that bothered me was my younger brother, Chris. Yuria, who did not dare to predict what she would look like to him who still did not know her identity, looked down at her monster-like body and was shocked.
She asked Lucy to make Chris a part of the Demon King’s army like herself, but she wasn’t sure if Chris would accept it or if he would still see her as his sister.

“The religious bastards are leaving. “Everyone worked hard.”
“after… … .”
The moment when the balance maintained in the demon world suddenly collapsed.
A fierce battle was taking place here as well. After a fierce battle, when the church troops retreated first, the soldiers and knights defending the fortress all spread out in their positions.
“Your skills are improving quickly, Chris.”
“I can’t help but grow. “When I think about what I’ve been through in the past few months.”
Chris was one of them. He chuckled at his colleague’s words and leaned against the castle wall, looking down at the floor littered with corpses.
‘Are you trying to see the end in the end?’
Unlike his smile, his eyes showed confusion. This was because the horrors of war, which had never been felt properly in a border area, were greater than expected.
In particular, I couldn’t get used to the crazy attacks from fanatics.
‘I have no choice but to protect it.’
Looking at such fanatical behavior, it was impossible to think that the church was righteous. Therefore, he tried to protect the people from their enemies by helping the alliance, even if it was his weak strength.
‘Only then will it be like before again.’
There wasn’t such a grand sense of mission. After reuniting with his sister Yuria, who he thought was dead, he wanted the happiness of the past that he thought he could never regain.
If this war is over, if only the religious order disappears, this world will be able to regain peace and live a peaceful life.
He had been working as a knight ever since he became alone as a child, and he desperately wanted peace.
