My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

〈 Demon World Revolution (1) 〉

An awkward atmosphere hung in the living room of Hubert Company.

“…….”

“…So, this is him?”

A commotion that occurred in Tarak not long ago.

At this event, which was held not long after that, the people involved in the incident at the time gathered in one place.

Heinrich and other warriors who made great contributions to solving the problem, including Heinz II, who helped at a critical moment, Diana, who attended as a representative of the victims and an official of the Hubert Company, and… Temiran McClair, the culprit of

the incident. until.

“Um, sorry. At that time, I…”

His careful apology continued through the awkward air.

When we first met, we got into a fight and it wasn’t long before we met again in such a peaceful place.

And wasn’t the victim of the incident also looking at him with wide eyes?

It was a situation that no matter how shameless a person was, he could not help but feel embarrassed.

“I’m fine. “I only heard about the situation.”

Diana responded to that apology in an adult manner.

It wasn’t that she forgave the other person because she had a big heart.

It’s just that I heard a series of circumstances from Heinz and decided to follow his wishes.

‘I was being manipulated unintentionally, and from now on, I have become a subordinate who cannot refuse my uncle’s orders…’ If you

think about it, we are now in a situation where we have to eat together, but if we keep sharpening the blade, we will only tire each other out.

When the woman who came forward as the victim’s representative accepted the apology, the atmosphere became a little softer.

Of course, if you think about it, the biggest victim was the injured old witch doctor, but since she had delegated everything to Diana and stayed away to recuperate, there was no particular problem.

“Your appearance has changed to the point where I don’t recognize you. I can’t believe that vampire grew so fast in just a few days. No matter how I look at it, it’s amazing.”

“…The energy I have has also changed significantly. “If Heinrich hadn’t told me it was the same person, I would have mistakenly thought it was someone else.”

The saint who was present also confirmed that he was no longer in danger. High elf Lydia and mage Isea observed the boy in front of them with interested expressions.

His appearance, which had been in his early teens when we first met him, had suddenly changed to the point where he looked like a young man in his late twenties.

I couldn’t help but be even more amazed because they were the ones who knew that not only their appearance, but also the source of their power and their very essence had changed.

“But he is also an immortal king. “I thought he had been relatively quiet recently, but I never thought he was plotting something like this behind the scenes.”

“I guess war is coming. Hubert Trading Company is, in name and reality, the top company on the continent. “It would have been judged that if we could shake that place, it would be beneficial in many ways.”

And the story naturally moved on to the topic of the dark Immortal King.

The heinous immortal king has gone out of his way to threaten the continent’s commerce before the start of a full-scale war.

They even tried to cause conflict by using the vampires who had implicitly promised to cooperate.

How could this not be considered a threat!

“…….”

As the group, including the saint, frowned as they exchanged opinions with serious expressions, Temiran, who was sitting across from them, rolled his eyes slightly and looked at Heinz, who was sitting with his legs crossed next to him.

[“Look ahead.”]

Then, as the new owner’s voice echoed in my head, I casually moved my gaze straight ahead and agreed with their words.

Just as I was ordered before coming here.

“Yes, and that’s not all. Among the missions I received, there was also information about the demon world…”

All the evil in the world to the Immortal King!

Anyway, I couldn’t reveal information about the God of the Abyss carelessly, and people from this world wouldn’t understand it.

Therefore, it was more convenient to blame all incidents and accidents on the Immortal King, like during the Oath of Rebellion and Revolutionary Song.

‘The karma gained this way is also quite valuable.’

Perhaps thanks to the addition of “subordinate rule,” which strengthened his control, Temiran played his role more perfectly than expected.

Thanks to this skill, he was now able to understand the situation of his subordinates in real time and even communicate with them, so it could be said to be a fairly significant gain for an ability he had unexpectedly gained.

“If it’s the demon world…”

“You have to be prepared for the devil’s followers too…”

As the serious conversation began to continue little by little, Diana, who had been sitting quietly, turned her eyes and looked at Heinrich, who was in the same room. I glanced sideways at Heinz in turns.

Two people who still smell somewhat similar.

‘It’s definitely true.’

She recalled the day she had said that to Heinz not long ago.

***

“…I’m sorry. “Can you say it again?”

An attitude uncharacteristic of Heinz, who is always cool and calm.

Diana nodded slowly as if she fully understood the reaction, which clearly showed her confusion, and opened her mouth again.

“I understand that feeling too. But you know what my abilities are, right?”

A transcendent sense of smell that goes far beyond animals and monsters and can distinguish not only physical smells but also intangible concepts such as ‘danger’ and the fragrance of the soul.

Diana, who had lived with such abilities her entire life, declared calmly but with clear conviction.

“I think you and the saint are brothers who separated when they were young.”

“…….”

“Maybe they’re twins. Although it feels different, they are both handsome. “If you look closely, the impressions are somewhat similar.”

“…….”

“I’ve heard of it. It is said that Saint Heinrich was also a wanderer from the Kingdom of Thalia, but he donated all his assets to the main church and entered the temple as a temple. And the Kingdom of Thalia… is also the place where we first met, right?”

Logical arguments based on evidence.

Diana looked pitifully at Heinz, who was unable to open his mouth because he was faced with an unexpected truth.

The owner of a large merchant and the king of vampires.

And the saint of the main church and the first sword that carries out God’s will.

Who could possibly guess that the two were brothers?

She would never have guessed it if it weren’t for her own abilities.

‘If you are a merchant, there will be no problem at all. But the problem is that his true identity is a vampire. Although the two sides currently have a relatively good relationship….’

It was too optimistic of an expectation to believe that this would continue in the future.

In fact, the current peace is close to just ignoring each other like cows and chickens according to the will of the superiors.

Not only was the perception that had been solidified over a long period of time not changing very quickly, but the tendencies of the two groups were too extreme to simply hope for harmonization.

The opposition is keeping quiet because of the huge threat of the Immortal King that is just around the corner, but once everything is over, problems will definitely start to arise.

‘ah! Come to think of it, I heard that the saint was the one who most actively advocated the embrace of vampires. In fact, this bond is based solely on trust in Him.’

The saint may have vaguely sensed God’s will as much as he could understand it.

That’s probably why he sent a friendly signal to the vampires in that way.

“…Are you okay, uncle?”

Diana cautiously called out to Heinz, who was still keeping his mouth shut.

Even if they found their lost family members, they, as representatives of each group, could not move on their own.

Even the slightest conflict that arises below will become a barrier that they cannot easily overcome.

If this isn’t a twist of fate, what is?

“…Hmm.”

At that time, Heinz, who was looking at Diana with sunken eyes, let out a low sigh.

With an expression full of agony, as if he was thinking about something.

Of course, he had something completely different in mind than she expected.

‘What on earth is he talking about?’

It was certainly a feat that Diana was able to maintain her sanity in the midst of the confusion and distinguish the scents of the two avatars.

The spiritual security of the avatars, who not only embrace divinity and can control the waves of existence, but also surround their spiritual and physical bodies with a powerful and thick shell, is beyond imagination.

But to smell your own scent like that—.

‘You’ve grown more. And it’s on a completely different level than before. … It seems that contact with the apostle Temiran had some influence.’

Still, seeing Diana say this, it seemed like the security wasn’t completely useless.

I smelled something, but the accuracy was poor, so I guess there was an error in the calculation.

“…is it. thanks for letting me know.”

“No, this is nothing compared to what you did for me.”

“Still, it would be better to bury it for now. “Because of that, we may have a bad influence on each other.”

“Yes… if you do something big, people will definitely notice! In fact, the image of vampires has definitely been changing in the West recently…”

Heinz nodded heavily to her who was trying hard to comfort him.

Even though Diana is completely her own person, the fewer people who know her secret, the better.

I had no intention of going out of my way to resolve the misunderstanding.

‘Anyway, I think it’s a pretty good setting, right? ‘I guess I can’t use this for anything.’

Heinz was lost in thought for a while.

Although the nature of the worry was a million light years away from what Diana was thinking.

***

“Is this really okay? Of course, I know that the fight against the Immortal King is urgent, but…”

Immediately after the meeting with officials ended.

Temiran, who was alone with Heinz, carefully asked him a question.

He had been acting like that ever since, as if he was uneasy about something.

“What are you so worried about? “Are you worried now that you did it?”

“Yeah, whatever. “That’s right…”

Temiran trailed off with an awkward expression.

I could fully understand his feelings.

As he is aware of the great moves he made while in the other formation, he will be even more concerned about them after switching to this formation.

“But the current situation in the Demon World is truly no joke! That guy from the abyss didn’t send me out of the imperfect temple for nothing. So to speak, the current demon world situation is nothing short of the last bastion and the last struggle!”

The operation currently underway in the demon world is the result of thousands of years of painstaking work.

Although Temiran had only been active as an apostle for a short period of time, he did not know the whole story, but as the person who triggered the arrangement, he had a good grasp of the general outline.

“Okay. “We have already made sure to prepare to prevent that.”

“…yes? Ready. I don’t know how you obtained the information about the demon world, but it is already completely out of my hands. Unless you go directly to the demon world, there is nothing you can do here.”

In order to get things done more clearly, they went to see Diana, who had a fragment of God, and this happened, but they said that even without her, there was no major problem in getting things done.

“The gate has already fully opened, and the army of the abyss has begun to erode the demon world. It’s been a long time since the head of that side passed away. The demon race, whose faith is at an all-time low and who instinctively obey the strong, will soon adapt to the new system under the new demon king!”

If that happened, it was obvious what would happen next.

Of course, that will never happen.

“Information is slow. “I guess it’s only natural that this would be the last communication we had before coming to Tarak.”

“……?”

Heinz said nothing more to Temiran, who had an incomprehensible expression on his face.

If you tell me anyway, you won’t understand.

“Alright, get ready to go to the Zephyr Republic.”

“ah!”

“Otherwise, the performance of the contract continued to be delayed, which was a loss of face, but I am glad that the result was this good.”

The promise he made to Vice President of the Republic Kayla McClair was to find out and inform her of the whereabouts of his missing son.

She said that if she had died, it would be nice if she could at least find a body or a grave where and how she died.

‘But since we found my son alive so quickly, I guess this can be considered an overachievement.’

In this way, time delay will not be a problem.

Moreover, the fact that the son is a vampire who is completely dependent on him can also be said to be an added point.

Kayla McClair, who had been a partner until now, became a limb that was absolutely obedient to Heinz.

“Can I really go?”

“okay.”

“…It’s been twenty years. “Have you forgotten me?”

“Don’t worry.”

“ah! I think I would have looked better like this when I was younger! Is it possible to turn it back even now….”

“…….”

“Probably not. I just tried it once. But should I bring some kind of gift? “My grown son is suddenly visiting me,

so I have to take something with me…” Temiran was kidnapped when he was young, and even after coming out into the world, he was unable to go near his mother because he was acting like a puppet.

Heinz took a deep breath, pulled out a necklace-type magic tool that looked extremely expensive out of the air, and threw it at the struggling man.

“…Just take that and get the hell out of there.”

I didn’t know if it was the right gift.

We probably won’t know in the future.

Heinz, who had been looking at him quietly for a moment, turned around.

There was still a lot of work left to do.

***

A battlefield spread out under the purple sky.

Normally, it was a space where all kinds of monsters were tangled together and competing for life and death, but now a silence so subtle that it was meaningless to say it was a battlefield surrounded the son-in-law.

“Whoop!” Whoop!”

[Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

”

However, everyone at the scene was just not talking, and it was not cold silence at all.

Numerous eyes burning with passion, not like the madness of a normal battle, but like the beliefs held by fanatics.

They were all heading towards one being standing in the middle of the battlefield.

A great monarch who was born from the beginning to rule from above, bringing everyone to their knees just by being there.

A fatal demon that can make a crowd voluntarily rip out their hearts and give up their hearts with just a single word.

A beautiful and noble star of the demonic world that makes it impossible to even dare to harbor blasphemous thoughts.

The devil was there.

[The battlefield has been cleared, Hela. As long as you give the order, you can go to the next battlefield at any time!]

At that time, a large Balrog approached her, fell to the ground, and shouted.

He was also a high-ranking devil with the rank of marquis, but he had no hesitation in his attitude.

All that exists is clear reverence and worship.

“Hmm—where’s next, Siana?”

“This is the territory of Otorel, one of the central gateways of the Dark Nest.”

“okay? “It’s faster than I thought.”

It was natural that it was fast.

Because the army of Helheim led by Hela was not occupying the land through an ordinary war.

The army’s fighting power usually decreased as the fighting continued.

Each war not only causes numerous casualties, but also leaves enormous fatigue on those who remain.

Of course, demons are naturally more resistant to it, but they were still bound to be affected to some extent…

“So, everyone got enough rest, right? Moving right away?”

Her army was the only exception.

Immense magical power spreading in all directions with an arrogant smile.

[I will follow your command!]

“Hela! Hello! Hella!”

[Oooooh—!]

“Victory to Helheim! Glory to the great Demon King!”

The troops affected by it all started going crazy.

Not only the soldiers who had been with her so far, but also all the enemies who had blocked her path just a moment ago.

An army of demons whose numbers increase as the fight progresses and whose momentum does not decrease.

Helheim’s army regained all of Abnormal’s lost territory and invaded the Dark Nest’s mainland.
