176. Thanatos
The girl sat on the throne as if she were dead and concentrated all her energy on calming the demons of the area.
But a throbbing wound broke her concentration.
[Yes…]
The little girl, the Demon King, twitched between her brows and grabbed the wound.
A sword mark drawn in an oblique line starting from the collarbone to the pit of the stomach. Those pure white wounds, like shimmering holy light, constantly stimulated her. It kept interfering with the control of demonic energy with the opposite nature.
When the concentration was broken, the demonic energy of the demon lord was shaken again.
Quaa-
[Whoa…]
The Demon King took his stance again. As if to soothe a child, he began to control the demons around him.
In order to oppose the system that is God’s blessing, the system of the demon king’s army was created by imitating it.
Until now, the Demon King had been using most of the power inherited from the previous Demon King to maintain that uneasy power.
In order to imitate the true blessing of God, it was necessary to put all the strength of the Great Demon King, who had taken a step into the ranks of God.
In order to maintain this, she has not been able to take a single step outside the Demon King’s War. However, this time, I overworked myself and left my seat, and the balance was greatly disturbed.
Even for the subsequent succession, the system had to be stable and maintained.
She did her best to keep her eyes closed, stabilizing the demons that make up the system.
And he remembered the other beings he encountered on the battlefield, except Roosevolnik. Like Roosevolnik, it was a presence that greatly surprised her.

Just Thanatos.
As the current Demon King, she has never seen Thanatos, the god of death. However, other beings similar to the child who was with Roosevolnik knew better.
The Demon King spoke while leaning back on the throne.
[Come.]
And when she opened her eyes, in front of the demon king, forty dark-skinned figures were kneeling in front of her.
It is only caught by the sense of sight, and it is empty and secretive as if the place is empty.
The Demon King looked down at them.
Existences that were born from the experiments of the previous demon lords. The 2nd Thanatos, a preceding experiment for the next generation of demon kings, that is, her own great birth.
In the past, they were the 40 Thanatos that Doyoon found with Luna with the True Name Searcher.
[Raise your head.]
Like robots, they raised their heads all at once without an error.
All forty had the same features. Short hair, dark skin, emotionless expression, night sky blue hair.
Except for the length of her hair and one other feature, she had a goose-like appearance with Luna.
Another characteristic is the eyes.
Their inorganic eyes looking up at the Demon King were dull yellow, like a mixture of gold and black.
Those pupils told the secret story of their origins.
The 40-year-old Thanatos in this place were also experimental subjects born with Roosevolnik blood, just like Luna and the Demon King.
However, the demon king let out a small sigh as he saw them.
different.
As expected, these Thanatos were qualitatively different from the Thanatos attached to Roosevolnik.
The Great Demon King of the previous era was able to obtain the Seed of Roosevolnik through Lilith, who was captured by the Alliance.
At the same time, a project for the future demon king was started in preparation for the future when she would be defeated by Roosevolnik.
As if a video was playing in the demon king’s head, the memories before her birth came to mind clearly. It was a memory dwelling in the blood of the previous demon king.
In my memory, Satan knelt down and bowed his head to the Great Demon King.
‘Did you call, the Demon King?’
Even he, who had a lot of psycho temperament, was just an infinitely obedient subject in front of the Great Demon King.
Next to Satan, except for those killed by Enoch, the legion commanders were lined up in the same manner.
A beautiful woman with a voluptuous body sitting on a black throne.
She has a presence that seems to weigh down the world and a solemn atmosphere befitting an absolute. Great King.
[…]
She lowered the cold snow behind her veil. The gaze turned to the death god who was bowing his head beside Satan.
An elongated finger quietly pointed at the reaper.
[Capture it alive.]
At the moment when the words were finished, all the corps commanders drew their weapons and charged without the slightest wavering or hesitation.
Even though there was no prior agreement, even though the order was so sudden, their bodies reacted straight away. It was the loyalty of the corps commander towards the demon king.
It was the year Enoch turned 30 years old. It was a time when he remembered that ‘the god of death withdrew from the front and disappeared.’
The Great Demon King beat the Four Gods. The strongest corps commander, Shinigami, was a strong candidate for the next demon throne, so it could threaten the position for her child in the future.
And the experiment based on the body of the god of death began.
The corps commanders attempted to combine the genetics of Roosevolnik and Thanatos with various abilities. The goal was to find a stable method before creating the descendants of the demon king.
However, the seeds they deal with belong to the two strongest people under the sky. The union was never easy.
‘…failed.’
[…]
‘Please kill me.’
The Great Demon King looked at the small life in Satan’s hands.
Its eyes were a dull yellow.
The Demon King knew right away. This is said to have been born with too little Roosevolnik blood.
[Continue.]
The experiment failed endlessly, and in the process, the failed work, Forty Thanatos, was born.
During several experiments, most of the Rouge Volnik seeds were consumed, and Thanatos’ body also reached the end.
Now, except for the amount to give birth to the next generation of demons, only a very small amount of seeds remain.
‘You’re the devil. This is the final experiment.’
[…]
In response, the Great Demon King used the last move.
[Have the Shinigami directly conceive.]
In that way, a real child grew up in the belly of the god of death, not a genetic test subject.
It was Luna.
The experiment was successful.
‘You’re the Demon King…!’
A voice soaked in emotion resounded in the demon lord’s hall.
Satan gave his forty-first little life to his enthroned lord.
Dark skin tone, night-gray hair. It was the same appearance as the other failed works.
But it was obviously different.
Unlike other failed works, it looked up at the great king with bright eyes boldly even though he was a newborn baby. It was different from the previous failures that were born with the blood of a military commander and instinctively bowed their eyes and heads.
The Great Demon King looked into those little eyes.
brilliant golden light.
A very rare, faint smile appeared on the face of the Great Demon King.
The experiment was a success.
The answer was not genetic experimentation, but simply following the order of nature.
Time passed, and Enoch pushed up the front line every minute and advanced to the Devil Castle. The corps commanders died one by one.
And the final showdown.
‘You’re the devil! That bird… That, that bastard…! In the demon king…!’
Satan came in with a bloody body and reported it.
The Great Demon King nodded quietly to him.
She rose from her throne and stroked her still-skinny belly. I felt a new life growing within him.
Born of the blood of the two strongest, he was the bud of the absolute who would rule the new era on his behalf.
[…Good work.]
She said her final goodbyes to the corps commanders. And then he moved towards the final battle, death.
The Great Demon King had already given up on life.
Born as a mortal and stepping into the realm of the gods, she was far stronger than Enoch Roosevolnik. No, it was stronger than the 18th Enoch Rouge Volnik.
But she felt compelled to stop here.
An indescribable premonition, close to a kind of prophecy possessed by God, told me. Even if you kill that man right here today, you will be the loser in the end.
Men will eventually become stronger. Even if I kill dozens or hundreds of times, he will come back and defeat her someday.
Her eyes, which had reached the level of a god, peered dimly beyond the distant timeline twisted by regression.
Eventually she made up her mind.
let’s stop here He said that he would die along with the monster of the will that transcends time and space, and pass everything on to future generations.
Indeed, it was possible only because he was the Great Demon King.
After all, she poured most of her strength into forming the second generation, and faced the hero with a weakened body.
‘Mawaang-!!!’
[Rouge Volney Yiiik-!!!]
The sword was thrust into the demon king’s heart. The hero was banished from this dimension. The two strongest beings were simultaneously excluded from the continent.
The continent rejoiced at the death of the Great Demon King and shed tears at the death of the hero.
After 30 years of peace.
In the middle of the ruined Demon King’s War, the body of the Great Demon King with a pure white sword stuck in his heart.
It lay sprawled on the floor, facing the sky. The whole body was rotten and withered, but only the abdomen was greatly distended and tinged with vitality.
Excluding the Shinigami, all the surviving corps commanders circled the corpse, knelt down and bowed their heads.
The longed-for moment of birth. The corpse’s stomach wriggled…
Fugak-!
A new king descended on the continent after tearing his mother’s belly apart.
A demon lord who was born as an absolute. It was a more powerful destruction.
‘Ohhh…!’
‘You’re the Demon King…!’
The corps commanders who had endured 30 hellish years blessed the new king.
And at that time, another existence was breathing thinly in the basement of the demon castle.
A woman bound in a special restraint that Oz created with great care.
The birth of the king she felt upstairs made her eyelids tremble and roll up with difficulty.
I forcibly caught my confused mind and focused. The presence of her blood relatives was felt in other places in the castle.
My real child whom I conceived and gave birth to.
‘…’
Before the light faded from her night-colored eyes, her last will flared up.
It was a reflection of a mother for her child.
