#4 Their circumstance: the demon races circumstance

A noble king blessed by the Demon God herself was born. And after that monumental event, many changes began taking place on the demon continent.

First of all, three factions constantly locked in the contest of strength were finally dissolved. Lady Belegreas faction chose to serve the new king.

Aggreahrt, who dared to go against the Demon Gods will, got his head chopped off in less than one day, which left his subordinates with no choice but to admit defeat and wait for the great kings punishment.

However, the noble king was a follower of the benevolent Demon God and proved to be a different breed to his predecessors.

Other demon kings wouldve demanded compensation and executed the chieftains involved, but our new king chose to warmly embrace them while saying that they were being deceived by the false voice in their heads.

Was that all?REaad updated stories at

It wouldnt have been strange to see Aggreahrts severed head put on display on a spike for a month in front of the demon kings castle. But our king acknowledged all the service Aggreahrt performed for the demon race and gave the late general a wonderful funeral.

As expected of a demon king that followed the Demon Gods will!

All demons watching on were moved to tears at our demon kings generosity and began exalting the Demon God.

And our noble demon king didnt want to become a dictator. He respected the opinions of all the tribes, saying that this was also a part of the great, noble Demon Gods will.

How shocking that was.

Our great, noble Demon God respected the opinions and words of someone as insignificant as us! Thanks to that, we were able to choose the king that would rule over us with our own hands.

Thats how Lady Belegrea could become the demon king.

After her ascension, Lady Belegrea swore that shed usher in a new era of peace for the demons as per the Demon Gods wishes. She then made a great speech that signalled the change in the demon races history.

The speechs name was the Declaration of Communism!

Not for the sake of tribes, but for the entire demon race! Not for individuals, but for the many!

The Demon Gods noble wish for individuals to let go of their vested interests and pursue a world where everyone is equal!

Lady Belegrea declared that shed follow that wish and everything changed ever since then.

Starting from insignificant little tribes in the rural outskirts, various locations of the demon continent saw buildings and roads getting built in great numbers, signalling the dawn of a society where everyones equal!

And after that

Stop! Thats it for todays lesson!

Tap!

The teacher slapped the desk to signal the end of the lesson. We cautiously put the sacred textbook inside our own school bags.

Well end todays lesson here. Our great king has said that students will get bored if classes are too long!

Our great king is indeed a great person. To think that he even thinks about students like us!

Well, then. We shall also conclude todays lesson with a prayer for our noble and great Demon God and the demon king!

Yes! We profess our belief in the Demon God, the creator of the demon continent, and her faithful servant, demon king Marx

We began reciting the wonderful teachings found on the first page of the textbook. Of course, I had no need to take the book out of my bag. I had already fully memorised it a long time ago, you see!

This teaching was directly from the Demon God, handed to us through our great and noble king. Of course Id memorise it as soon as the textbooks were distributed to us.

De-men. [1]

It will be so, according to the Demon Gods commands.

The end of our prayer also heralded the end of our lesson.

Do not forget to be watchful of the false voice today as well! And continue to think about our great and noble king and the Demon Gods will!

Yes!

Apparently, there was this evil voice trying to scam unsuspecting demons by telling lies about our current demon king being a fake. Some idiot was fooled by that voice and even tried to attack our great king while declaring that they were the true apostle of the Demon God.

However, our great king was the real apostle chosen by the Demon God herself. That idiot received the Demon Gods blessing and quickly realised the error of their ways.

I heard that our great king implored the idiot shedding tears of repentance that they should start following the will of our great and noble Demon God.

Ah, aaaah! How warm-hearted is our king!

Back then with Aggreahrt, and even with the self-proclaimed Demon Gods apostle this time, too! To think that hed graciously forgive them while saying that they were merely fooled by the false voice!

As expected of our Demon God! As expected of our great, noble king!

-N-no, thats wrong! That punk is a fraud! A fraud! You mustnt get fooled!

Ah, ah

As I was heading home, I also began hearing the voice of the fake god.

When I stood there in dumbfounded silence, the God of Emptiness standing nearest to me said something. Dear Demon God, maam. Were also gods overseeing the demon continent. Did you really think wed not do anything while those seeds of evil were rampaging around?

Yup.

I almost blurted that out aloud.

To think that the one explaining things to me was the God of Emptiness.

If it had been the God of Fulfilment that oversaw the human continent, Id not have a problem. But this punk? He might have actually incited other gods while saying they should abandon all hope now.

Oh, so you were doing something, then?

We also mobilised the champions and saints of our temples, maam.

The champions from the demon continent temples performed the same role as the human continents heroes. In other words, the temples champions and saints were the same as apostles personally chosen by the various gods of the demon continent.

Mobilising them meant the gods had done everything they could within the permitted range of actions.

But maam, do you know what the result was?

I think I already know

Even my apostle, the first one Ive chosen in centuries no, in several millennia, fell into the hands of the seeds of evil on the same day they reached the Demon Gods temple. An apostle couldnt resign that easily once chosen unless they died, obviously so Ive been trying to convince them at least one hour every day, but my words were no longer getting through to them.

The one calling himself Marx sounded so sincere and trustworthy that my own apostle became his servant and was following every one of his commands. Thanks to that, I was called an evil creature by my own apostle three times today.

Yes, thats exactly it, maam. All of them got smacked around and started acknowledging that man instead.

Ah, ahhh

I did expect that reply but directly hearing it caused this shock that defied my imagination.

Were screwed.

The demon continent and the demon race fell into the hands of those seeds of evil.

N-no, this cant be

The great Creator Gods entrusted me with the demon continent, you know! But to think that I lost it to those bastards!

I, I cant accept this!

Just as I began letting out a despair-filled scream

Tap, tap

Someone lightly tapped me on my shoulder.

C-could it be theres a way out of this?!

Ah, ah No

But when I turned my head to look, I instantly fell into an even deeper pit of despair. Thats because a pair of male and female gods were standing there, smiling brightly at me.

Its already too late.

Giving up will make it easier.

They were none other than the God of Despair and the God of Resignation!

Why is every single god on our side like this?! God of Hope! Yes, somebody go and fetch the God of Hope, right now!

But, uh, arent the human side also really busy right now? I mean, the seed of evil is supposed to be waking up in the human continent, after all.

Man, these seeds of evil are working their butts off, arent they?

Hahaha! Well, were already finished over here, but at the very least, that side should still try to survive, right?

Youre right. One side needs to survive so we wont get too embarrassed to face the Creator Gods.

Haha! Hoho~!

Watching these already-resigned gods made me despair even more. The gods supposed to rule the demon continent were beyond help at this stage. And then

Our great Demon God, hooray!

Our great king, hooray!

Glory to our Demon God and her faithful servant, Marx!

Listening to the voices of the demon race exalting me more than ever made me realise that maybe, they also were beyond saving now.

Ah, ah

Fine. Now that things have gotten to this stage

You. You just be my apostle, then.

Ill also just resign myself.
