Episode 7-God Demon King (2)
“Kyaaak! move fast Not much time!”
“Key, Key…”
The sun is slowly going down and the red moon, unique to the demon world, is rising. A few green-skinned goblins riding gray-maned wolves quickly crossed the wild Pandemonium wasteland.
The goblin in the middle, urging the others among them, was apparently of high rank. The gold bracelet on his wrist jingled when he moved the hand holding the staff, who was wearing a luxurious leather robe.
“The King ordered a thorough search without the slightest gap. But in such a barren place, the defeated soldiers couldn’t have settled down.”
After stopping the wolves for a moment and looking around, the head, the goblin shaman, muttered blankly.
Their order was to search. Certainly, the living Demon King will try to recover his strength with the remnants somewhere. In order to prevent that, each lord released the maximum amount of troops and searched all over the place.
‘Even if you luckily avoid this search, how on earth is the demon king going to win? All the demon realms have already fallen into our hands.’
In fact, the goblin shaman was skeptical even of this search operation itself. No matter how much the demon king hid his power and recovered to some extent, he had to act anyway.
In that case, of course, the 72 lords of the demon realm would immediately intensively attack the demon king and finish it off, so the demon king had no chance of victory from the beginning. No matter how miraculous leadership they show, since they have already betrayed once and broken the laws of the demon world, no other demons will cooperate with the demon king who has already lost power.
“Go a little further north and finish the search.”
The goblin shaman snorted and started moving again with his men. Thoughts are thoughts, and since I received orders, I had to follow them.
“Kit?!”
“Hmm. Are they ants?”
After running for a while, something appeared in front of them. Then the goblins looked back at the shaman in bewilderment. What appeared in front of them now were huge ants, soldiers and the like, monsters equal to or bigger than the wolves they were riding.
They were the scavengers of the Demon Realm, who said that if they traveled in groups, they would have to avoid even the most demons and monsters, and they were vicious beasts who would do anything to get food.
“What are you so afraid of? It is now a shameful story of the past when we, the proud, fought a war and death to the death risking our lives against such insignificant creatures!”
However, the shaman urged the fearful men and raised the staff in his hand. Rather, he grinned.
because they have grown It’s because I’m no longer a demon at the lowest level. This was the price to pay for betraying the demon king and breaking the existing order.
“Turn over!”
The sorcerer shouted as he aimed his staff at the approaching hundreds of ants. Then the whole area vibrated. The other men cheered at the sight.
The trembling ground spread out in a fan shape, creating ripples as if the water surface was shaking. The twisting and crushing ground crushed and cut off the feet of the ants who were keeping their feet on the ground. Dozens or more were killed in one blow.
“Strike!”
Subsequently, goblins riding wolves deflected their swords and charged at the group of neutralized ants.
‘done. We won.’
The goblins, who pulverized a large number of ants in one blow with powerful magic, easily cut down and killed the rest of the ants using well-forged steel swords. The strength of the goblins is completely different from the past, easily defeating much larger enemies. The shaman watched the scene and stroked his beard with satisfaction.
“Anyway, it looks like they have a nest around here. If so, there was no way he would have defeated them at the level of the defeated soldiers. Anyway, there are only a few abandoned labyrinths around here, so I return to the village as it is. Because that is more important.”
The shaman got his men in order again and turned the tide. This barren area, full of all kinds of monsters, is hardly a place to create a new force. The guy who was so sure was planning to go back after cracking down on the surrounding villages.

[The number of them is abnormal. Obviously, even though the species has exceeded its breeding limit, the troops continue to be replenished, which means that their troops will be reinforced from the outside.]
“From the outside… Well, if you moved here, it must mean that there is another nest somewhere nearby in the first place. It may not be the same as ants on Earth, but I heard that there are several queens who build multiple nests and live in huge colonies.”
[But the calculation results are manageable. I will advance like this.]
Inside the Forgotten Labyrinth. A place that the goblin shaman didn’t even look at, or even thought about. There were people who continued to grow there.
They break the line between common sense and nonsense, completely ignoring the existing rules. Clearly, they don’t yet have a powerful shot like the goblin shaman’s spell. There are no weapons like the fine steel swords of the goblin warriors.
Thanks to this, he was directly entangled with the beast ants, fighting for his fate like the goblins of the past.
But it’s only for a moment after all.
[Complete. It is an Orc Alpha based on the Orc species.]
Deeper underground, where the production plant is located, new soldiers who have finished growing have begun to move. With the addition of the Demon Lord’s modification, which thoroughly focused on the battle with the Orc as the base, they evolved once again out of the prototype.
Between the black helmet that covered her face, her 4 bright red eyes shined. In order to become immune to enemy attacks that emit acidic fluids and to maximize defense, he borrowed the hard armor of soldier ants to cover his entire body.
Its massive appearance resembles that of a heavily armored knight, but its body integrated with the armor is just as nimble.
“Couldn’t there be another strange variant coming out?”
He laughed when he heard the sight of the troops starting to march in unison to the demon king. It was already the second time that the soldier ant and the acidic body fluids had been driven vigorously and then hesitated.
[Even if so, we can win.]
The Demon King now had confidence. Even if there was no data, it didn’t matter. His user could have provided an answer in such a situation. In other situations, he manages all the data and produces only the best results.
The more data piled up, the stronger the Demon King became.
[charge.]
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Now, the Demon King’s army, which has grown to hundreds, began to attack the ants with Orcs and Alphas armed with hard armor.
And finally, the balance of power collapsed. The monster ants were helplessly pushed back by the demon army, which evolved and adapted to both the sturdy and powerful soldier ants and the acidic body fluid that dissolves everything.
[feels good.]
“…you mean it feels good to win?”
[Everything is fine.]
Demon King actively used what he had learned recently and appealed to his feelings. It’s been a while since I learned it, so it’s that honest and unstoppable.
He looked at the cell phone, which said he was happy, in the same dry female voice as if it was ridiculous.
[I kicked out all the monster ants. We have to chase, but we stopped at the entrance of the labyrinth for now.]
“Are you going to clean up the inside?”
[That’s right. Also, since the purpose has been achieved, a new strategy is also required.]
The Labyrinth, which was occupied by the monster ants, is now completely occupied by the Demon King. However, the demon king did not send any troops outside the labyrinth.
There were some enemies still lingering inside because it was driving so fast, and there were other creatures that needed to be cleaned up.
Thanks to this, production sites that had only produced troops for a while began to mass-produce worker ants based on the beast ants.
The worker ants thus born moved busily, brought the spoils from the labyrinth, threw them into the fire extinguisher, and killed all living creatures and put them into the production field as well.
[Labyrinth exploration complete. Beginning of labyrinth nesting work.]
The demon king did not want to leave an empty space inside the labyrinth. By creating nests everywhere, they pursued maximization of production, digestion, and control.
“Look at this. A creature from the game. This monster carries slime inside itself. They are monsters that make their own territory by pouring out this slime.”
[I think it can be applied.]
He also provided some help. Hearing in detail what the demon king was currently working on, he rolled his head and gave a concept or example that could possibly be helpful to the demon king.
When that happens, the demon king starts calculating regardless of means and methods and realizes his command.
[The second disease type based on the beast ant, the beast antㆍbeta.]
It was made using a fat ant that was filled with acidic body fluid and sprayed it, and instead of acidic body fluid, this new soldier filled with pluripotent cell nano, which is a cell unit demon and the basis of the demon king’s army, is located far away from the production site. and quickly accelerated the nesting process.
‘······Really, with this momentum, we can make anything.’
And he swallowed dry saliva when he saw the picture the demon king proudly took and sent. The growth power of the God/Demon King Army, where AI beyond its limits can lead everything down to the cell level, was too fraudulent even for him to see.
Even with a small application, the possibilities are endless, and as the accumulated data increases, the increase increases by more than the square.
“Among the genetic data you obtained, there were other creatures like cave bats. Are you not using them as a base or as data?”
[As a result of accumulating data, it has been judged that it is meaningless or inefficient if it does not exceed a certain level.]
Admiring the demon king’s ability once again, he asked the demon king if he could make more types of soldiers with only the data he had collected so far. However, unlike the beginning, the demon king, who continued to gain experience and grow, denied it.
[You can’t use creatures that are too small and insignificant. You have to be at least strong enough to be called a monster to be able to combine or remodel. Currently, there are 6 demons and 1 monster that can be used as a base, and there are 6 demons and 1 monster that can be combined as data.]
“… not so much.”
The six types of demons are Orcs, Goblins, and other demons obtained through the defeated soldiers who manifested the Demon King. And since the first type of monster is the victorious monster ants, in fact, it was difficult to remodel beyond this.
“So what are we going to do now?”
[It is inevitable to go outside.]
When asked about his plans for the future, the demon king answered without hesitation.
“yes. From what I’ve been told, that’s your weakness.”
He nodded as if he deserved it. The reason why the demon king must go outside, and also the most fatal weakness he has.
It was just the nutrients.
The demon army is a group, but at the same time it is not a group, so the entire group was a predator. They are not productive. It couldn’t do the role of converting sunlight and minerals into nutrients like plants and mushrooms.
So I had to eat endlessly. I had to keep fighting for it. As the group as a whole grows in size and strength, the cost of nutrients required rises even more.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for them to stay still.
