139 – Not much, but an important reason
The Demon King, she was an ancient being who had existed in this world since the World Tree was born.
She was not called the devil from the beginning.
She is a nothingness born from pure magic energy.
Even though he knew nothing and was made of demonic energy, he was purer than anything else.
A lump of magical energy that just wandered around the world and looked at the world.
She began to change when the newly born creatures in the world began to fight.
Fighting, killing, eating, harassing, deceiving, and destroying each other…
In the meantime, fear, anger, jealousy, hatred gradually arise…
Such negative emotions covered the world.
In particular, the negative emotions expressed by humans are truly dirty and pitch-black.
But the mass of pure magic energy that was hovering around the world and looking at it.
I loved them so much.
It was so beautiful.
It was so fragrant.
It tasted so good.
In particular, among those emotions, the feeling of despair was more fragrant and delicious than anything else.
‘I want to look more…More!! ‘I want to taste more!’
The pure magic energy that was nothing became an evil demon king from that day.
The Demon King could not think of anything.
Puck!
There was no time to think.
Pow!!
No voice came out.
Kwasik!!
I couldn’t even scream.
Quadang!!
The damp soil stained my entire body.
A tingling pain penetrates my entire body.
Rather than tasting a person in despair, the tongue can only taste the taste of blood.
“…Huh…Huh…!!”
It hurts so much.
“Not yet…Not yet…!! More…!!”
A black-haired human approaches him.
Even though his entire body was in tatters and he was on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion, he came to me.
Boom!!
The sound of his footsteps was unusually loud.
Boom!!
A small human being who was nothing, just an annoying nuisance.
Boom!!
But now more than anything…
Boom!!!
400 Years ago, when Witch Cheyney chanted her magic with incredible magical power…
Boom!!!!
It’s scary.
For the first time, the Demon King felt the negative emotion of his own ‘fear’.
It gets bigger and bigger.
The increased fear goes beyond that area and creates other negative emotions.
‘Despair’.
Quick!!
He felt himself being grabbed by the collar.
…Even though I realized early on that it was useless, I kept trying to deploy the refraction barrier.
Now even the will to unfold it has disappeared from within the Demon King.
Only his own fear and despair remained inside the Demon King.
The body held by the collar was lifted…
Wow!!
I get punched in the face again.
Pain spread throughout the Demon King’s entire body.
The spreading pain stimulates the fear within the Demon King and soon makes his despair even greater.
Wow!!
Wow!!
Wow!!
The devil could do nothing but tremble in fear and despair.
A tenacious body made of demonic energy cannot be killed by a mere human punch.
…I couldn’t even avoid pain and fear by dying.
But there was only one thing the Demon King could think of.
The despair I missed the most and felt the most delicious.
…But ‘my own despair’ was tasteless at all.
I didn’t want to see it even for a moment.
Fully!!
The strength that had been holding and lifting him was released, and the Demon King’s body fell helplessly to the floor.
The pain subsided for a while.
Wow!!
With a kick, the Demon King’s body flew into the air and fell.
There was dirt in my mouth, but it didn’t matter.
Boom!!
I heard footsteps coming towards me again.
How long…
How long will this continue?
Continuing pain, despair.
Another emotion emerged in the Demon King’s heart.
Boom!!
Please…
Boom!!
Please…!!
Boom!!
“Ugh…!!”
The feeling grew bigger and bigger, but eventually I couldn’t hold it in and exploded.
“Please…Please…Please stop…!!”
Tears flowed from the Demon King’s eyes.
“Forgive me… Please forgive me… I don’t like you anymore… Please…!!”
For the first time in the Demon King’s life, he cried.

“……”
This is absurd.
I couldn’t stay still, so I chased after it like crazy. I don’t know why it happened, but it did, so I beat it in a trance.
I’m going to throw away everything I have, because I don’t know when that guy’s barrier will work again.
Because I don’t know what that guy will do again.
So I beat that guy until my fists hurt and the wound on his stomach opened again.
The result is this.
“Ugh…Ugh…!! Please!! Please save me…!! Please forgive me…”
Ask for forgiveness?
Do you want me to live?
You’re laughing.
This bastard started a war, and many people suffered 400 years ago.
Even after Mr. Chaney was defeated with difficulty, he caused many people to suffer for his own resurrection.
Starting with Saint Velia, numerous people were brought to the World Tree Forest by fairies and died.
Aspects of the Ignis family, including Riel.
Even at her academy, there were people like Liliana, Aria, and Ferris who fell for Alan against their will and suffered in their hearts.
This guy was the cause of everything.
This guy did it for his own resurrection and for his own bad taste.
To drive Riel into despair and eat him.
Alan… Honestly, it’s fine, but he used others to drive him into despair.
This child is the culprit of everything.
But, without even experiencing 10% of the pain that all those people have suffered…
Please forgive me.
Please save me.
Don’t be funny.
Don’t be a jerk.
“Ugh…Ugh…!!”
“Dad…?”
There is no strength in the body.
Consciousness is becoming more and more distant.
But we must not stop here.
If I leave that guy alone now, I don’t know what he’ll do if he runs away again.
I took another step forward.
Boom!!
“Hi!!”
The Demon King was scared and screamed.
But I didn’t feel any sympathy whatsoever.
Conscience began to fade again.
It shouldn’t turn off yet.
Until we somehow resolve that guy, I have to become conscious.
Boom!!
“Oh…Don’t come…!!”
The devil is sitting on the floor and taking steps backwards.
Do you think you will miss it?
Standing there…
“Don’t come near me!!”
With the devil’s screaming scream.
With the sound of something exploding, the front becomes dark…
My consciousness sank.
…When I came to consciousness, I couldn’t see anything.
I tried to move my arms and legs, but it was impossible.
In the first place, I couldn’t feel the sensation of having limbs.
“Oh, you’re awake.”
I heard a voice.
The voice of a young woman.
But she couldn’t see it.
“Oh, don’t overdo it. Right now, you are in a kind of mental state. You won’t be able to see anything.”
“…Am I dead?”
“No, he’s alive. The Demon King exploded his magic energy in his last struggle…But he’s fine.”
She said in a slightly laughing voice.
“hahahaha, you don’t know how much I wanted to talk to you.”
“Who are you?”
Even though her mouth is not moving, my intention is conveyed to her just by thinking that she wants to say that.
It was a mysterious feeling.
“Me? Uhm… I don’t have a name… First, let me introduce myself…”
At her words, my thoughts stopped for a moment.
“This is the person who wrote ‘The Child of Yggdrasil’, which you read.”
“…What?”
“So, I’m the one who wrote the novel you saw before you came to this world.”
The novel I read, ‘Child of Yggdrasil’
A novel that tells a completely different story from the world I live in now.
She wrote that and it’s the woman who’s talking to me right now?
“I see and observe various worlds and record what happens there.”
“…’Child of Yggdrasil’ was your record?”
“Yes. …Well, even though it was wrong, it was a very wrong record.”
She spoke self-deprecatingly.
Of course, it was full of stories that were very different from the truth.
“At the time, I just recorded the heroic stories that were in front of me as I saw them. Even though the truth was different… I just recorded them as I saw them.”
“…You didn’t think there was anything strange?”
“Well… I thought about it. But… It’s funny when I think about it again… There are such messy stories all over the world. So I guess this is one of those common stories… That’s what I thought. “
“…It’s irresponsible.”
“hahahaha, so…Because of that irresponsibility, there was nothing left at the end of the story I observed and recorded.”
Her voice sank greatly.
“Do you want to hear it?”
“…Just for reference.”
After her long silence, she opened her mouth.
“How far have you seen?”
“… To the place where Riel accepted Alan’s confession and the relationship ended. Well, I wondered if she accepted it.”
Actually, the description in the novel was simply that Alan confessed and Riel agreed as if influenced by the surrounding atmosphere.
“…hahahaha, it’s true that she didn’t actually accept it. She couldn’t express any intention.”
“Because of the fairies?”
“Yes, because of the fairies. …My blind spot was that I couldn’t see the fairies either.”
Her voice was quiet, completely different from when she spoke to me.
“… Riel, who was unable to express himself due to the power of the fairy, eventually ended up with Alan.”
“……”
They say they changed the ending, but it’s such a crappy story to hear.
“Even though she didn’t like it, she couldn’t say no, and Riel was devastated because she ended up with a person she didn’t like.”
“Despair is a word I’ve heard often recently.”
“…You’re right. It must have been an unbearable smell for that guy who was watching in the form of a fairy by Alan’s side.”
…Riel, who became involved with Alan, falls into deep despair.
On that very day, she was eaten by the devil.
“…After that, the Demon King took the form of Riel, whom he had eaten, and stayed by Alan’s side.”
“……”
…This is a really crappy story.
“After that… No new world tree was born, and in the end, Velia, which played the role of the world tree, ran out of power and disappeared… As the circulation of magic power became uneven, the world gradually became impoverished. .”
I guess so.
In a world where Sir was not born, the moment Velia dies, no one will be able to play the role of world tree.
“Allen, who was tricked by the Demon King who borrowed the appearance of Rielle, stands up and says he will solve her situation, and together with her colleagues, they rush to resolve her situation, but…”
“…There is no way it can be solved unless there is a new world tree in the first place.”
“It’s just as he said. Alan, who went to the Demon Continent as the Demon King said, learned the whole truth after the Demon King revealed his true colors and despaired… After that, he and his companions became food for the Demon King.”
After that…
There is nothing to say.
A world that has lost its World Tree returns to nothingness due to the circulation of magic power not working properly.
Literally, it is an ending to the end of the world.
Isn’t this a really crappy ending?
“…After seeing the entire process, I knew that my records were wrong from the beginning.”
“So…”
“Yes. I was hoping that you, who enjoyed my novel the most and supported me the most, would change this crappy ending. As an observer, I cannot intervene directly.”
“……”
“I used all my power and put you in the hands of a child named Kyouwentos, who is a character in the story, is talented, and has some power.”
…It was something like that.
From the beginning, they brought me here to change everything.
“…I have one question.”
“Huh? Tell me.”
“You are just an observer. What happens to this world has nothing to do with you. Why did you go to such lengths to change the ending?”
That’s right.
No matter what happens to this world, it won’t matter to that woman.
But why did he use all his power to change this ending?
“Ahahahahaha!!”
At that question, the woman laughed.
“…Well, it’s really a trivial reason.”
Not a big reason.
But the most important reason.
“I like happy endings.”
She was speechless at her words and remained silent.
…I felt like my vision became a little brighter.
“Ah, it looks like you’re slowly waking up now.”
I felt like her voice was gradually moving away.
Perhaps my consciousness is awakening.
“One last piece of advice. If you just kill the Demon King, he will be resurrected someday. Find another way.”
