only monsters

Chapter 1800 No.417: The Tragic Superiority of Human Society

Although Lucemon looks like a child, after his fall he turned into the adult form of Lucifer, the Fallen Morning Star, with a strong physique and tall stature.

Estimated to be over 2.6 meters tall, he was conspicuous enough even among this group of "acquired sub-humans" who all had the physical signs of monsters.

His identity could be seen by 'Star-Eating Zero' at a glance, but it did not pay attention to the former at that moment.

It's not that it lacks sufficient vigilance, but that most people here have similar eyes to "Star Devourer Zero".

Surprise is the least worth mentioning, happiness is rare, greed is even rarer, and all kinds of emotions are mixed together and intertwined, overlooked by the devil of arrogance and sin. It is impossible to expect its gorgeous blue eyes to stay on one place.

Especially, there was only astonishment in Xingshi Ling's eyes, and even the fear and hostility that should have been there were not shown in his acting.

It was precisely this harmlessness that made the priest's recommendation seem more natural. Even the priest in charge of the operations department standing diagonally opposite him gave him a thumbs up implicitly, which made Omar, who noticed this detail, look subtle.

Although reality is not a game, each character does have his or her own life.

But aren’t you making too many little moves?
During the few days he stayed in the temporary residence of the Beast Cult, his biggest feeling was that this group of people really did a lot of little tricks.

When you are talking to this person, his palm behind his back may be making gestures to the person on the other side. Then when you are talking to that person, he is responding to the gestures while communicating with someone else through mental fluctuations that you cannot directly intercept. It is obvious that it is some kind of telepathy.

Of course, you could also say it looks familiar.

He looked so familiar that it was just like Omer Linton himself being approached while he was busy at work - don't try to figure out what he was doing while he was talking to you. The more you try, the more likely you are to speculate, like some possessive little girls, whether he is not paying attention to you.

Of course, the demon, who already has relatively independent multi-threaded thinking space, can be justified.

He could even swear to prove that he was attentive and serious in his responses to the people around him. As for the people in the Beast Cult...

It’s not like there aren’t people who can do two things at once. After all, although multitasking is a rare talent, it can be acquired through practice.

It can even be surpassed through acquired transformation.

It is not uncommon among the group of Ascendants who have achieved mechanical ascension and flesh-and-blood ascension, and there are also quite a few of them in this group of 'monster sub-humans'.

But it is still a minority.

Among the people Omer has communicated with, 31 out of 40 are perfunctory people who only speak to you to fool you into accepting the commission. At this stage, at least 40% of what they say is unreliable, which is like adding to the workload of their journey to unclog the toilet, and it doesn't make them feel any better.

But it can only be said that it is karma in a sense.

After all, he usually doesn't seek to tell the truth when he speaks to himself, and I think some smart people who communicate with him probably feel the same way.

However, fighting wits and courage with so many of myself, the intensity of this retribution is really shocking. Is it a curse from someone who has been hurt too deeply...

Such inappropriate feelings have been obliterated at the beginning.

Now he has to act the role of a nervous young man who has just arrived and is entrusted with an important task.

Even though he had seen 'the eldest brother being killed and his companions being arrested' and had grown tremendously in personality, when it came to serving the big master... he still had to be confused when he should be, and still be stiff when he should be.

You may even have to show some distraction to facilitate the introduction of the recent situation.

Regardless of whether the other party likes to watch it or not, the character setting and acting skills must be in place as the top priority, and then the intelligence that can be obtained can be obtained.

To be honest, the last part, which should be the most important content, was put at the end out of necessity.

After all, this was the first time that he was still stuck after sneaking in for several days. But if you want to say that this is a high-end game, it is not necessarily so - the demon knew very well that the reason why he was having such a hard time now was because he wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, the intelligence he had obtained offline would have been enough for him to mobilize his entire army to attack.

There is also a kind of stubbornness that refuses to try the normal evolutionary route and insists on going directly from Impmon to Beelzebumon.

But not to mention the embarrassing situation caused by this stubbornness, the person he was spying on was obviously a troublesome guy.

"Those little gadgets are what you're after?"

"…Yes, that's right." "It's very different from what we got originally. Is it because the environment of the Digital World is very different from that of this world?"

"Should, right?"

Looking at the monster capsule and pyroxene held in its large-scale hands, which were unique to humanoid Digimons, Zero seemed uncertain.

"Can't you just be more straightforward?"

"Well... it's difficult. After all, I'm also a newcomer..."

"Are you trying to say that your superiors are using you as a newcomer to fool me?"

"Don't dare!"

The arrogant demon king consists of two pairs of wings behind the neck and on the top of the head, a total of five white wings and six black bat wings + one black wing. He is an ancient existence that has never changed in the digital world for countless years.

Before being crowned with the "Crown of Sin. Pride", in the real world, he was the Fallen Dawn who led one-third of the angels to rebel, but in the digital world he was the true king of heaven.

——Lucemon, who is served by the three great angel classes, was the true lord of hosts in the era when the World Tree was still the only god but rarely made any moves.

Even though it later went crazy and was attacked by a group of people, and was beaten by ten warriors and fell into the dark area, it did not hinder its arrogance.

But there is a counterintuitive point here.

That is, the boss who is simply arrogant is the easiest to serve.

It's not because it's easy, but because it's common enough. Just as all crows are black, the world is also full of a bunch of superiors with inexplicable pride and arrogance, forcing the people below to adapt to their temperament.

Can't adapt?

What else can I do? I have to choose between quitting quietly and giving him a big fight before I quit.

Even the demon of that year was not immune to this. Although his current boss is very ideal, both Akikawa Yayoi and Junchuan Reins have their own merits and are the type of leaders that many people dream of, but he was not always so lucky when he worked part-time in the past.

Whether it's an arrogant boss or a colleague who claims to be a genius, they can all be found here.

When Bize was complaining about the past, Omer refrained from mentioning this regrettable cruel truth: in a society like the Holy Terra Federation, where the lower limit of development is very high but the upper limit is even higher, there will be more and more pretentious idiots.

It’s just that in this more mature and developed information age, it’s always easy to weave an information cocoon that is enough to make you, who doesn’t like to travel around, feel that the world is extremely smooth.

Unfortunately, Omer is not the quiet type.

Greedy desires will not allow a one-sided information cocoon that is only for comfort to wrap itself up, so he will adapt.

While adapting to the fact that there are many idiots in this world, he will try to find ways to get along with them, and on that basis seek higher-level strategies - how to guide and control them.

So if you observe the whole conversation between Zero and Lucemon.Fallen, you will find that the former has been taking the leading role in the conversation since some point in time.

This requires patience, so much patience that those arrogant superiors don't notice even the slightest change in the way you speak.

You must also patiently endure the other party's initial contempt and disdain for you, and patiently endure the fact that even if you show your abilities a little bit, you are still not recognized by the other party.

At this point, you will find that the most difficult thing is not the other person's character, but the time you have.

——Guys like that who are restless, arrogant, and even foul-mouthed may not be willing to stay with you for that long.

You have to have a good pace.

Otherwise, all efforts will be lost when the other party leaves with a word of "boring", and then you will have to hope that there will be an opportunity to meet again one day.

And when you can solve the time problem, or when your goodbye is no longer uncertain, you may be able to do what Star Eater Zero is doing now, and start speaking in a way that seems fine at first glance, but is actually stepping on the other person's personal boundaries:
"But with your abilities, sir, there should be many options for cooperation, right?"

“Does our Order do better than them?”

I might take a day off this weekend, but whether it's Saturday or Sunday... we'll see.
