Chapter 213: Episode 40 – Hatching (4)

Yoo Jonghyuk’s wrinkles deepened as he stared at the symbolic figure shaped like a doll . “…How are you sending an indirect message without a channel?”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ says it is possible if the symbolic body is in contact with the incarnation . ]

Uriel’s symbolic body was the doll on Yoo Jonghyuk’s shoulder . Yoo Jonghyuk gently poked the symbolic figure with a finger .

“Is it okay to do this?”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ says it will be okay as long as it isn’t caught by a dokkaebi . ]

“No, I’m not talking about the dokkaebi . ”

Uriel initially didn’t understand what he was saying . Yoo Jonghyuk pointed to the side of the doll .

The doll cocked her head and then covered her mouth with both eyes .

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is deeply moved by the heart of the incarnation ‘Yoo Jonghyuk . ’]

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ says it is a bit painful . ]

There were weak sparks around Uriel’s symbolic body . It was because the Demon World was a taboo for her, an archangel . The Demon World was the domain of the demon kings . Uriel was taking an unnatural risk and forced to bear the brunt of her probability being exhausted . Uriel moved to clinging to his arms and Yoo Jonghyuk asked her, “Why are you going so far to look for Kim Dokja?”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is asking if it isn’t the same for you . ]

“There seems to be a misunderstanding . I…”

In fact, the Demon World was originally a place where he would’ve never come . The difficulty here was incomparable to other scenarios of the same rank . It was comforting that this was the 73rd Demon Realm . There were no demon kings and the ruler would be a duke at most . This much was worth a try . Above all, he was much stronger than he was at the same point in his previous regressions .

“I just don’t like people impersonating me . It doesn’t matter if it is Kim Dokja or not . ”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is laughing . ]

“There are also many usable items in the Demon World…”

[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is laughing loudly . ]

“Do it one more time and I will rip apart your body . ”

Yoo Jonghyuk turned his head and gazed at the wide horizon . Perhaps that bastard was somewhere in this desolate world . In this silent world, Yoo Jonghyuk finally started moving .

The Syswitz Industrial Complex .

The atmosphere of the duke’s office was much more unusual than usual as Earl Silocke sweated while reporting .

“…Therefore, we plan to control access into and out of the industrial complex while the revolution is ongoing . ”

Silocke’s heart sank several times as the face of the Gilobat envoy distorted in front of him . This

person might be Gilobat’s envoy but he wasn’t the one in charge of the delegation .

Explosive Ombros . He was a marquis of the Gilobat Industrial Complex and the most prominent candidate to be the next duke of the 73rd Demon Realm . Silocke gasped for breath as he saw the fire glowing in Ombros’ eyes . He might’ve fled if it hadn’t been for Duke Syswitz standing at the window and looking outside leisurely .

“…That’s why I am asking the Gilobat envoys to stay here for a while . ”

“Have you finished speaking?”

“Y-Yep! T-Then I will go…”

Silocke hurriedly opened the office door and ran away . Meanwhile, Ombros took a few deep breaths to control his temper . It was an annoying situation but he couldn’t act as usual . It was because the strongest existence in the 73rd Demon World, Syswitz was behind him .

Duke Syswitz stared out the window for a while before smiling . “That’s what happened . ”

“…What am I supposed to do?”

“I’m sorry but you can’t leave . Please stay in the Syswitz Industrial Complex for the time being . ”

In the end, Ombros exploded . “…Don’t you know these words can cause diplomatic issues?”

“You’re too sensitive . It is just a protection measure for the envoys of the alliance . ”

“Is it because of the revolutionary?”

“Seven executioners and two marquises have died . It has been a long time since this happened . ”

The last phase of the Revolutionary Scenario would start when all executioners in the complex died . Strictly speaking, Duke Syswitz was in a crisis right now . Unlike his words, there was no sense of crisis in Duke Syswitz’ expression . Ombros didn’t like this contradiction and complained, “A revolutionary appearing at this time… you must want to save face, Duke Syswitz . ”

“Really? I think it is fun . It has been 30 years since a revolutionary emerged in Syswitz . Sometimes this event is needed . ”

“You are speaking like the constellations . ”

“Why not? The story isn’t only related to the constellations . ”

Ombros would’ve scoffed if a normal incarnation had said this . However, Duke Syswitz was qualified to say such things . He wasn’t comparable to the ‘upper-grade constellation’s but Syswitz was a monster who had ruled the 73rd Demon Realm for 400 years .

“It is good to have as many stories as possible before the beginning of the demon king competition .

The more powerful the revolutionary that appeared, the better it is for me . ”

He never even thought about being hit by the revolution .

“Why are you so confident that you can stop the revolution?” Ombros asked .

“Why do you think?”

Ombros’ eyes sank at the question . Maybe it was an obvious story . Syswitz had lost two marquises in this incident .

“I hope you won’t betray Gilobat . ”

“Haha, who said that?”

“I’m telling you this personally . ”

“I will also give you a piece of advice . Do you think that Duke Gilobat can become the demon king?”

Ombros was a bit upset by the words . Syswitz didn’t give him time to think .

“Or do you think Melledon and Bercan can become the new demon king?”

“…I can’t answer this question . ”

“No, you can answer it . It is because everyone knows who is the strongest of the four dukes in the 73rd Demon Realm . ”

Ombros gulped . This calm declaration could sound so scary . Once again, the oldest duke of the 73rd Demon Realm couldn’t be ignored .

“It won’t be easy . Melledon has joined hands with Vedas . ”

“He isn’t the only one who can borrow the power of the constellations . ”

“These words…”

Duke Syswitz stared at the sky outside the window instead of answering .

“The dokkaebis will come soon . Then what will happen next?”

Now the night sky was completely dark . However, soon there would be many stars in the night sky . Then the other demon kings would show up as a response to the emergence of the constellations .

Marquis Ombros felt a heart-shaking sensation .

Finally, the 73rd Demon Realm would become a battleground for a proper scenario .

“…Is there a channel liaison yet?”

“I put in a request to the bureau . ”

At this moment, Ombros realized why Syswitz didn’t look for support . Once the dokkaebis appeared and the full-fledged scenarios began, the constellations would gather towards the bigger events . Suddenly, some thoughts ran through his head .

“It wouldn’t be bad for there to be a small entertainment before the full-fledged Demon King competition begins . The constellations love slaughter . ”

“Is that why you are leaving the revolution alone?”

Syswitz stared at the smoke with a strange smile . Ombros sighed bitterly . “…You were born evil . ”

Every conflict in this world was a commodity . Now Syswitz was selling the lives of the many civilians in the industrial complex to seek the attention of the constellations .

“Thank you for the compliment . ”

Ombros shook his head like he was tired . If he planned this production then Duke Syswitz would surely be preparing for a greater blow . It wasn’t difficult to predict what would happen in the industrial complex .

“I can see movement in the Factory . ”

The most powerful story weapon possessed by the dukes, the Factory . Duke Syswitz nodded . “I have already prepared it so you will see sooner or later . ”

Anticipation filled Ombros’ eyes . The most powerful person in the 73rd Demon Realm . It wasn’t a common opportunity to see him in action . Then…

[The #BI-90594 channel has been created in the ‘Syswitz Industrial Complex’ area . ]

Ombros heard the message and stood up with amazement .

“Did you call the dokkaebis already?”

Once he saw the expression on Duke Syswitz’ face, Ombros realized this wasn’t part of the plan .

The door of the office opened and somebody ran in .

“Duke!” I’m sorry but I have an urgent report—”

It was Earl Silocke who previously fled from this place . Syswitz quickly managed his facial expression and replied, “Tell me . ”

His report was probably related to the emergence of the new channel . However, unexpected words emerged from Silocke’s mouth .

“The Factory isn’t operating hard enough . ”

Duke Syswitz made an embarrassed expression .

“…What does that mean? Didn’t I tell you to replenish it?”

“T-That… it looks like all the civilians who came to work have stolen the story fragments . ”

Ombros noticed how things were progressing and said, “It seems this revolutionary is using his head . Perhaps the dokkaebis moved first because of him…”

“That is impossible . The negotiations with the bureau haven’t ended yet . ”

Duke Syswitz frowned at the unexpected situation and immediately gave instructions . “Send the supervisors and slaves to the horizon . Have them collect more story fragments . ”

“I have already sent them . By the way…”

Duke Syswitz hadn’t realized that the report wasn’t over . Earl Silocke’s shoulders hunched over like he was afraid of how the duke would react .

“Just… I lost contact with the supervisor who went out to collect the story fragments . ”

The horizon near the Syswitz Industrial Complex . Jang Hayoung kicked the body of the dead supervisor and said, “It seems that the duke has been preparing for quite a while . Ordering a collection of this scale…”

It was an extra large collection with thousands of slaves mobilized . The situation was resolved but it would’ve been dangerous if we had been a bit later . It was impossible to launch a full-scale war against the Factory when my incarnation body wasn’t yet intact . Things would’ve become worst if these story fragments entered the Factory .

“You are good . ” I glanced at Han Myungoh beside me .

He knew the duke would move in this way . If Han Myungoh hadn’t been the spy, I wouldn’t have guessed the exact timing to put the plan into action . Han Myungoh was elated by my praise and laughed .

“Hum, who am I? Aren’t I the ‘Brain of Mino Soft?”

“You can use that as a modifier if you ever become a constellation . ”

I smiled at Han Myungoh . At first, I didn’t like being on the same side as this person . Now I thought it wasn’t a bad choice .

“Bring the slaves over here! I will start repairing those who are still sane first . ”

Now that I had decided to wage war properly, I could feel something different from Aileen and the citizens . I watched them and controlled my heart . The baby dokkaebi who looked like cotton candy sat on my shoulder and cried out . “Baat!”

Her memories hadn’t been recovered but every dokkaebi had the instincts of a streamer . They filled in the scenarios where there should be a story .

[A new sub scenario has arrived!]

[The Sub Scenario―’Liberate the Slaves’ has started!]

“Thank you . ”

I lightly stroked her head and Biyoo shouted, “Daat!”

It might not be possible for me to enter the main scenario but I could receive a sub scenario whenever there was an opportunity . It might be a temporary measure but if I kept building up sub scenarios, I would be able to recover enough to face the duke .

「 Kim Dokja thought: There is nothing urgent . Time is still on my side . I now need to thoroughly prepare to safely pass the Demon World’s scenario . 」

I sincerely thought this . At least, until I heard an unexpected message .

[A new constellation has entered the #BI-90594 channel . ]
