My Alter Ego's Path to Greatness

Chapter 384

〈 Demon Race (2) 〉

The power of the main god, the creator of one dimension, is absolute.

It was natural since you could literally decide the beginning and end of the world as you wanted.

They are so huge that they are more like a system than a personality, and with a power that is almost omnipotent, they cultivate their own gardens according to their individual inclinations.

However, even though they were only close to omniscience and omnipotence, they were not perfect and had limitations.

It is so large and powerful that it is impossible to pay attention to and coordinate every single aspect of the world, which is so small and delicate.

If they tried to fix something for no reason, everything connected to it could collapse in succession and the world would be shattered, so they couldn’t do anything about any errors in the dimension.

That’s why God’s intervention varied depending on the dimension.

Idle type, which is reluctant to take a loss and just watches things go as they should after making a rough assortment; Intervention type, which invests aggressively for more profits and deploys lower-ranking gods to control the world on their behalf.... Each person has their

own Because management methods were different depending on the personality.

The main character of Outerica was a universal type of intervention.

After creating the world, he took a part of himself and created gods who could manage creation more closely.

The lower gods also had limitations, but they were able to do much more than the main gods, so they developed the world little by little to suit their tastes.

The World Tree, which governs the abundance and circulation of nature, created elves.

Titans, who control fire and metal technology, created dwarves.

The god in charge of animals, wildness, and hunting created the beastmen, the god in charge of the sea created mermaids, and the god in charge of strength and balance created dragons.

There was also a god who managed so-called ‘profitable’ humans who were active and produced intense karma even though they lived short lives.

“Crumbling—Demon God....”

“Huu Huu—What is that...”

The situation was similar for the Heavenly God and the Demon God.

In order to balance the world, the heavenly world isolates excessive light energy, and on the contrary, the dark negative energy is driven into the demonic world.

They settled in each realm and created angels and demons.

So much time has passed.

Conflict, harmony, war, development, etc....

Creations burned their lives on this earth with their own values and then passed away, leaving behind only karma.

Of course, there was no peace in the process, but we continued to move forward one step at a time without losing too much balance.

—Until a god became too absorbed in his creation and crossed the line with excessive greed.

The aftermath of the runaway of one of the gods who managed the world on behalf of the main god was by no means small.

It is even more outrageous that that god, with his enormous karmic productivity, exerted more influence than several other gods combined.

Due to the explosion of human power, most of the different races were driven out of their homes and had to migrate to a new continent.

The situation was a little better for the few elite dragons, but there wasn’t much they could do in the face of the direct intervention of the rampaging god.

In the end, the commotion came to an end only when the evil god rooted out its existence and imprisoned it in the abyss, a dimensional trash can.

If it was destroyed carelessly, the world it had worked so hard to cultivate could collapse, so it was limited to taking away the authority of the infrastructure that had been built and destroying the records. However, if it was trapped in the abyss for a long time, it would naturally melt and become fertilizer for the world, so it was not a bad decision.

In the first place, the abyss itself was a place created for that purpose.

...Yes, roughly, if it had stayed quiet for tens of thousands of years.

From the gods’ point of view, tens of thousands of years may not be a big deal, but for the beings who were already tainted by human ways of thinking – ‘human gods’, it was an eon.

A persistent obsession, an impulse that soars like a wildfire, an unquenchable desire, and an insatiable greed.

Based on that, the human god did not give up and stretched out his hands in various fields.

Of course, his main goal was the continent where his creatures, humans, lived, but he knew full well that it would be foolish to pour all of his capabilities into one plan.

In the first place, isn’t the abyss a place where all the dregs of the dimension gather together?

Naturally, the sewers and pipes through which they flowed also stretched throughout the world.

[iced coffee! Refreshing air! Good, good!]

“Kruk! “Go away now!”

[Kill them all! Kill him and make a sacrifice with his body and soul!]

“Damn it! “I knew they would do something someday!”

“Monsters of the abyss...!”

And now.

In an area in the center of the Demon World.

Sewage from the sewer began to back up.

***

‘It’s a war that took place in the demon world...’

Hubert Chamber of Commerce’s office.

Ken Miyamoto, the demon who suddenly came, disappeared as quietly as he came.

They said they would come back and left only the food packaging containers that were left behind after eating too much.

In some ways, it was a positive sign.

Even though he had the power to put his bad intentions into action, he obediently retreated without causing much harm.

If you think about it that way, there was room for it to develop into a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship... but

Hubert never relaxed and still maintained his guard.

‘The devil isn’t the devil for nothing.’

It was a separate issue from force.

The characteristic of the devil race is that they can cut off the nose of someone with their eyes open.

Of course, Ken is an acquired demon, so it can’t be discussed in principle, but isn’t it possible to know how much he has been affected by the demon world after surviving for so many years?

‘It may look friendly, but it may try to devour this side in an instant.’

When I thought about it, I thought that might not be that bad.

Right now, I was watching because I didn’t know what would happen next, but if the other side crossed the line first, I would be able to eat them from head to toe without any remorse.

“Hey... Mr. Shanghoe?”

“hmm?”

Hubert, who was lost in thought in his office, raised his head and looked at the person who had called him.

“Are you sure you’re okay? “The person who just came...”

A mature girl looking at him with a worried expression as to when he arrived.

Diana was Hubert’s right-hand woman and a capable personal secretary who was involved in most of the company’s affairs.

“Now...”

And then straight to “customization”... Before use.

Next, I searched for one item in 『Product Purchase』.

There were still more procedures to prepare.

『Horn containing the essence of the 14th Demon King Leraye (4080000)』

When I first saw it, this product had over 5 million points.

However, even now, with over 4 million sold, the price was still enormous.

At that time, I wondered if I would ever buy something like that...

‘Well, you never know what will happen to people.’

Until now, while creating an avatar, he had only used one medium at a time.

In fact, that alone was enough to target a specific race.

‘But as unique skills strengthened and “customization” grew, other possibilities opened up.’

This involves creating an avatar and additionally using multiple agents with similar tendencies.

But what if that medium were the remains of the devil?

What if it is a remnant of the 14th Demon King, who according to records is no less inferior to the Immortal King in his prime?

‘Yes, there are already 10 avatars, but now it’s hard to raise a new one from scratch.’

Level jumping characters have been a trend in the gaming industry these days.

But is there anything you can’t do yourself?

I chuckled and carefully placed the pair of black horns in the middle of the magic circle.

A gently curved horn about 30 centimeters long.

Perhaps because of the name that it contained ‘essence’, the power contained within it was incomparable to that of the sealed right arm.

Ugh—!

The barrier in the basement, which had been running calmly, also started operating more loudly.

A halo of light that glows softly with a magnificent vibration.

Still, it seemed like there was a little more room, perhaps because so much resources had been poured into it.

‘Yes, that’s right. It’s difficult when the limit has already been reached.’

Because there is still one more left.

I immediately took out one more item.

It was a transparent glass bottle wrapped in a thin silver chain with a small prayer engraved on it.

The bottle tilted slightly and the black sphere inside rolled around.

Ruby-like eyes set in the center of a black sphere.

My eyes met directly with it.

“The eyes of the 14th Demon King Leraye.”

This was an item taken from the main temple of Roselia, the main temple.

Naturally, what was sealed there was not only the previously stolen fragments of the Immortal King.

One of them was part of the remains of the Demon King who invaded the earth more than a thousand years ago, and Heinrich secretly stole them under the pretext of destroying them forever.

‘...Honestly, it’s not a lie. ‘Now this will soon disappear completely from the world.’

Thanks to this, I was able to collect three remains of the Demon King to serve as a medium.

The horn, right arm, and even eyes of the 14th Demon King Leraye.

The horn even contained essence, and since it was a medium obtained from the exact same entity, it was the best combination in which extreme synergy could be expected.

‘Isn’t this something really great coming out?’

The barrier in the basement was starting to become increasingly strained, so we couldn’t delay any longer.

Without hiding my rising expectations, I immediately used “Customization.”

And...

“Huh? What is this?”

***

Avatar creation through “customization” has been completed.

An unprecedented power felt within the body.

It was a new power that resided in my newly acquired body, but it didn’t take long for me to adapt and get over it.

I’ve already had trouble handling great power with other avatars.

Step by step.

I walked slowly, feeling a subtle discomfort.

It always happened every time I created a new avatar, but this time it felt especially unfamiliar.

After slowly arriving in front of the mirror placed in a corner.

I carefully raised my head and looked at my reflection there.

A pair of tall black horns sprouting from both sides of the head.

Reverse eyes with shining red pupils in black eyeballs.

Jet-black wings protruded from the clothes around the wing bones.

No matter where you look at it, he was the very image of a great demon king.

However, one unexpected variable occurred during the “customization” process—.

Perhaps because he used too much material from one powerful entity, he did not have much authority to modify the entity.

Of course, I was able to tweak the details, but some big parts were impossible to change no matter what I did.

“The 14th Demon Lord Leraye.”

For example, a pair of black horns.

Or maybe it’s the eyes that shine like rubies.

Or....

“...is it really a female body?”

Such as the gender of the entity.

“Ha—I didn’t expect this.”

A beauty with a foreign appearance reflected in the mirror let out a deep sigh.

With a charming voice that will captivate you just by hearing it.
