Chapter 19: I’ll Definitely Kill You
There were numerous battlefields in this world.
Strange portals stretched endlessly, from which monsters of another world emerged.
People called them monsters.
Creatures born solely for meaningless slaughter, possessing no intelligence whatsoever.
Individually, they were not strong, but their numbers increased exponentially over time, requiring constant vigilance.
They had to be continuously hunted, monitored, and killed.
By now, these rules had been established. Portals were monitored strictly, walls were built around them, and pathways connected to civilian areas were thoroughly controlled.
Of course, this did not mean complete control.
The number of monsters crossing the portals was too great, and maintaining the front lines that had been established for thousands of years took a significant effort.
Therefore, deaths on the battlefield were an expected occurrence.
For thousands of years, countless people had died, and countless others had blocked their paths again.
For such a long time.
Humans had endured by killing and dying for each other.
[Disgusting.]
It wasn’t particularly for anyone’s sake.
It was merely for my self-satisfaction.
It was revenge against the trash that had given me a filthy feeling the day before and the demons who had overstepped their bounds without knowing their place.
They would also cross that portal.
My size was too large to pass through that portal.
Of course, it would not be impossible if I shrank, but I had a strong instinct that I should not cross that portal directly.
That portal was unstable.
Although lower-ranked creatures could cross the portal without any problems, the higher the rank, the stronger the restrictions, resulting in severe penalties.
That’s why even the Demon King did not cross the portal directly.
Jörmungandr instinctively felt it.@@@@
It could be seen as a kind of future foresight felt by becoming a god.
Crossing that portal wouldn’t result in death, but it wouldn’t be without any injuries either.
Therefore, I gave up on crossing the portal to directly exterminate them.
But I didn’t give up on taking revenge on them.
A giant body floated.
Soaring freely in the high sky, I could see all the battlefields at a glance.
It was miserable.
Countless humans and monsters were entangled, taking each other’s lives.
This happened simultaneously on all battlefields.
Endlessly spawned monsters overwhelmed humans with sheer numbers.
Therefore, the situation on the battlefield was very disadvantageous.
If this situation continued, countless lives would undoubtedly be lost.
That’s why I revealed my strength.
Looking down at those insignificant insects, I controlled my energy with the skill that a god possesses, concentrating it solely on the monsters.
The moment my energy touched them.
Without knowing what had happened, their bodies twisted and rotted away.
By the time they realized that the energy was coming from someone, it was already too late.
Without even struggling, they vanished in an instant, leaving no trace of their existence.
All these things.
Occurred simultaneously to all the monsters on the battlefield.
“What, what the...?!”
The humans who were fighting them fell into confusion.
Without any warning, the monsters vanished in an instant. They looked around for the disappeared monsters, but there was no way they could find them.
Their bodies, souls, and existence.
All of it vanished just because of a single being’s thought.
Jörmungandr remained calm despite causing all these things.
There was no intention to reveal the dignity of being a god.
Of course, it wouldn’t be bad to imprint myself as a god to them.
To reveal myself while saying that I controlled this battlefield.
All those monsters carried my demonic energy.
Using the blood of those killed monsters, I created a magic circle, prepared to resurrect my true form, and absorbed the power of death to advance one step further.
But.
All of it.
Was blocked by some wretched, legless creature.
[Ha.]
Fine.
You’re strong.
I’ll admit that.
You were the strongest creature I’ve ever met.
But.
Interfering with my plan.
I couldn’t tolerate that.
How long had I been planning for this?
Thousands of years.
During those long years, I induced the humans to be complacent and secretly placed my subordinates among their leaders.
After taking control from the roots.
I planned to directly manifest myself and sweep away everything in the human realm.
But.
A plan of thousands of years.
Was stopped by a mere snake.
[So, that’s how it is.]
The Demon King rose from his seat.
Boom——!
The massive throne shattered simultaneously.
Black demonic energy surged from his body, swirling around him, and began shattering everything nearby.
With every step he took.
The ground broke, and everything around him began to crumble.
[I will go myself.]
Penalty?
I didn’t care about that.
I would devour all the creatures in the human realm and become stronger again.
When he stood before the portal.
Wooong——!
The portal began to distort.
[What the...?]
A mysterious force invaded the portal.
At the same time, it twisted the portal and began binding it with chains of light.
As if sealing it.
[Damn it!!]
He tried to remove the chains immediately, but they couldn’t be touched.
As if saying, you, a lowly being, couldn’t even touch them.
And finally.
Sizzle.......
The portal was completely sealed.
The only way from the Demon Realm to the human realm was blocked.
At least, for several years.
[Ah, Ah....]
The Demon King vowed.
No matter what.
I will kill that lowly creature.
With my own hands.
Making sure it leaves no trace, making it regret ever daring to touch me.
The Demon King vowed so.
