Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 373 If there is no Demon King, why don’t I become one?!
This is a bit ironic. When the Demon King's army was there, the three major human kingdoms united as one. Despite the despair of seeing no hope, they still fought bravely and created a living space for mankind.

Now that the Demon King's army is gone, the three kingdoms have turned against each other and even fought each other. Although this is a future event that has not yet happened, the signs of it are already evident.

However, to be honest, even if war really happens in the future of this world, the impact on Broly will be limited.

Needless to say, Huihui and Youyou are from the Crimson Demon Clan, and the Crimson Demon Clan does not belong to any of the three major human kingdoms.

When the Demon King's Army was still around, they were unable to deal with the Red Demons, let alone the three major human kingdoms, which were even weaker than the Demon King's Army back then.

If a war really breaks out, it probably won't affect the Crimson Demon Village.

As for Aqua, her sect was prophesied to become the number one sect in the world, which was definitely a bonus from the war.

As for Wiz, he is a top-notch lich and if he doesn't participate in the war and just protects himself, there will be no problem at all.

The one who is really affected is Darkness, the eldest noble lady of Axel. If war breaks out in the future, she will have to go to the battlefield as the heir to the lord.

However, given her tankiness, the chance of her being killed is almost zero.

The one who has the biggest headache is Eris. As the goddess who manages this world, this world has only been peaceful for two years. If there is a war in the future, there will probably be a lot of deaths again. She doesn't want to be reincarnated into this troubled world.

Later, the performance evaluation in heaven will definitely make her split. If the faith in the mortal world is still eradicated, she may not even be able to be a goddess in the future.

“This matter needs to be resolved, but how to resolve it is a problem.”

"I'll just go catch the guys who are causing future wars and teach them a lesson or just kill them. Is that okay?"

Broly asked.

"Future wars are caused by the general trend of the times. Simply solving the problem of a small number of decision-makers will not change the future outcome."

Ms. Sokett made a prediction under these conditions, but found it useless, while Darkness expressed her own opinion.

As long as the situation of the three kingdoms does not change and the conflicts are not resolved, war is inevitable.

Perhaps, doing something will delay the outbreak of war, but it will only delay it. When it reaches the critical point, it will still break out.

Now, there seem to be only two choices: one is to help the ancient Kingdom of Belzer get rid of the other two kingdoms, but this requires killing a lot of people.

One is to make the disappeared Demon King's army reappear. As long as external pressure on humans reappears, internal conflicts will naturally ease.

"Then how can we make the Demon King's army that has disappeared reappear?"

Considering Eris's feelings, Broly took the initiative to ask about the latter method.

"The key to the Demon King's army is the Demon King. We must find the Demon King first."

Aqua said that she did not deliberately choose not to change just because the future predicted by Soket was good for the Axis Church.

"But the old devil is very old. Is he still alive?"

Youyou asked this question, and no one present knew the answer.

However, Wiz might know.

Broly and others went to Huihui's house with the fortune teller.

Found Wiz and told him the prophecy.

"If it's Yasaka Kyoichi-san, he should still be alive.

A while ago, didn’t our family receive a big sea fish? It was a gift from the other party.

As for where he is now, I remember it is a small coastal town in the south."

Wiz tried to recall, but she didn't know the exact whereabouts of the old devil.

As for wanting the fortune teller to use divination to predict the current location of the old devil.

Soket tried it and found it didn't work.

"If that person is not dead, then he has magic that can counter divination."

Divination is not omnipotent, but it is not too difficult to prevent the fortune teller from predicting your own information.

Initially, after the old devil was resurrected, he was worried that his survival might be predicted by outsiders, so he took many measures to counter divination and prophecy.

Therefore, even if Soket, the top fortune teller, performed divination, he would only get the result that such a person does not exist.

"Ah, what should I do?"

Little Princess Alice was a little anxious.

"It doesn't matter. Just know the general location."

Broly said.

"Hey, do you have an idea?"

Darkness looked over curiously.

"Everything has Qi, but not many have a lot of Qi. Although I don't remember the old demon's Qi, I remember that his Qi was not low."

The old demon king's combat power is not strong, but his level and magic power are very high.

When it comes to Broly, the opponent's aura is much stronger than that of other creatures.

Although there are many powerful creatures in this world, not many can match the old devil's magnanimity.

After knowing the approximate location, you just need to sense the strong aura in that direction and go there one by one to confirm.

"I'll go look for it. If I find it, I'll bring the person back."

Broly left these words before jumping out of the house and taking off, heading south.

He was so fast that he disappeared in the sky in a flash.

. . . .

In the southern archipelago, a small fishing boat was floating on the calm sea.

Suddenly, a huge shadow emerged from under the fishing boat.

With a splash, a giant octopus emerged from beneath the sea.

"Well done, this is your reward."

The old captain, with gray hair but in good spirits, lay on the side of the ship, looking at the splashing sea with a look of satisfaction, then raised his hand and threw out a ball of special magic power.

The giant octopus caught the ball of magic power with its tentacles, absorbed it into its body, and then rolled the fishing net toward the side of the fishing boat.

"Closing the net!"

The old captain shouted towards the stern, and the girl who was lying on the mast basking in the sun grabbed the rope and jumped down from the mast.

She used an iron hook with a hemp rope to hook the fishing net that was rolled up by the octopus tentacles. After doing this, she ran to the other end and started pulling the rope.

The sound of splashing water could be heard, and fishing nets filled with various marine fish were pulled from the sea to the boat. Looking at the many expensive marine fish in the net bags, the wheat-skinned girl showed a smile like an old farmer on her face.

While the girl was sorting the sea fish, she suddenly felt as if she was locked by something, and she looked up at the sky.

A small black dot appeared on the horizon. It quickly grew larger and as it approached this side, it brought a gust of wind. The waves stirred up by the wind smashed directly towards the small fishing boat.

The girl who was sorting sea fish hurriedly picked up the long sea fish at her feet. This sea fish probably never thought that one day it would be used as a swordsman. Powerful sword energy emanated from the fish's body and it slashed towards the huge waves that were approaching.

The waves were split in two, and the girl holding the fish looked cautiously at the guy falling from the sky. After seeing Broly's appearance clearly, she exclaimed: "It's you?!"

. . . .

Broly carried back the entire small fishing boat, including the people, the boat and the fresh fish.

"Ms. Weiss, long time no see."

After the old captain jumped off the fishing boat, he greeted the lich he knew there.

"Isn't this Aqua-sama? Long time no see~"

Although there was a grudge between the ancestor and the goddess of water, Yasaka Kyoichi was resurrected by the other party after all, so he still politely took off his hat and bowed to Aqua.

"I wonder if you guys can do me any favors? Do you need my old bones to help you?"

The old devil asked for advice.

"Broly, didn't you make it clear to the other party?"

Aqua looked at the boy in confusion.

"I just said I needed his help and brought him back."

Broly confessed honestly.

"Without our consent."

The devil's daughter complained, who could have imagined that she would be kidnapped along with her boat while fishing in the sea.

"The thing is like this..."

Wiz and the old demon king were acquaintances, so she was left to explain the situation. "What? You want me to be the demon king again? No, no..."

The old devil's head shook like a rattle.

"Don't worry. This is for the future peace of this world. We are letting you become the Demon King again and rebuild the Demon King's army. No heroes sent from heaven will come to attack you."

Eris quickly tried to persuade him.

"But even if I won't be defeated by the hero, I don't want to be a demon king anymore."

The old devil still waved his hands.

"Hey, why?"

Everyone was a little puzzled until they heard the old devil king talk about his past days as a devil king.

"To put it nicely, I am the Demon King. To put it bluntly, I am the babysitter of the Demon King's army. Every day when I open my eyes, there are hundreds of thousands of mouths that need to be fed by me.

It would be fine if it was just a problem of food, but the cadres in the past always caused some messy things.

For example, Miss Wiz once embezzled the Demon King’s Army’s military funds to make up for the losses of her magic tool shop…”

The old devil pointed at Miss Lich and directly revealed her dark history.

"Ah, my magic item shop has already been profitable!"

Wiz blushed and quickly retorted.

"This is just a small matter. There are many more big things that require a demon king like me to clean up. Thinking about it now, I am in tears!
I managed to survive from the position of Demon King, and now I can travel with my daughter, go fishing, and live a leisurely life. Now you want me to go back to being Demon King, so why not kill me? "

Yasaka Kyoichi directly stated that if he was asked to go back to be the Demon King, he might as well return his life to Aqua. He had lived a carefree life for more than two years anyway, and it would not be a regret if he died now.

The crowd was helpless in the face of the old demon king who would rather die than return to being a demon king. They couldn't force this old workhorse of the demon king's army to drink the dirty water again, right?

"By the way, if you really need a demon king to resolve the current conflicts in the human kingdom, you don't necessarily have to use an old man like me, right?"

As the old demon king spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Broly next to him.

"With his strength, isn't it more than enough for him to be the new Demon King?"

Yasaka Kyoichi asked, somewhat confused.

"I can't stay in this world for long."

Broly answered the old demon king's doubts.

In order to change the predicted war-torn future, we need a long-term enemy of humanity that can pose a continuous threat to all of humanity.

Broly is indeed more than strong enough to become a great enemy of humanity, but his inability to stay in this world for a long time makes him unable to meet the following conditions.

"Ah, so what should we do about this?"

Little Princess Alice cried for help again.

"Hehehe..."

A pretentious laugh suddenly rang out.

“Meihui, what are you laughing at?”

Youyou asked the girl next to her in confusion.

Huihui has now changed into a special outfit with a black cloak and a red bottom.

"Of course, I've figured out a way."

"Eh?"

Everyone looked over.

"any solution?"

Little Princess Alice asked.

"Since there is no devil king in the world, then why don't I become the devil king?"

Huihui said so.

"Hey, I thought you had some good ideas, but this is it?"

Aqua glanced over and curled her lips, with her sarcasm at its highest level.

"Ah, Aqua, are you looking down on me?"

Huihui was furious.

"It's not that I look down on you, but not everyone can be the Demon King."

Aqua shrugged.

"Yes, at least one of the powerful forces or personal strengths must be present."

Wiz took over.

"I just want to ask you, which one did you take?"

After receiving support, Aqua immediately asked back.

"Of course it's my strong personal strength!"

Huihui said with great confidence.

“Well, Huihui, your professional level is not low, but the problem is that you only know explosion magic, and someone who only knows explosion magic cannot become a demon king.”

Wiz looked at her and shook his head.

"Do you want to compete with me in the destructive power of magic?"

Huihui was not convinced, so she picked up her staff and planned to compete with Wiz.

"In terms of the destructive power of magic, I am of course not as good as you who specializes in explosion magic, but the question is how many times can you use explosion magic?"

"Three times, oh no, the limit is five times!"

The extremely mana-intensive explosion magic can be used five times in a row. Huihui's magic power has exceeded that of many great magicians.

"Mr. Yasaka Kyoichi, if you use explosion magic, how many times can your magic power support you to use it?"

Miss Lich did not comment on Huihui's confident speech, but turned around and asked the old demon king this question.

"Well, more than ten times, but explosion magic is useless. It's better to use the magic power to strengthen subordinates instead of using it on this magic."

Yasaka Kyouichi answered truthfully.

"Then do you think someone who can only use explosion magic can become a demon king?"

Wiz asked again.

"I'm afraid that won't work. As we all know, explosion magic consumes a lot of mana. If someone who can only use explosion magic becomes a demon king, then we just need to send some elite professionals to use their lives to consume all the magic power of such a demon king, and then the opponent will be easily defeated."

The Demon King's army was once strong because it had no obvious weaknesses, and its ability could even increase the strength of small soldiers to the level of cadres.

If he hadn't met an even more monstrous boy, he wouldn't have known how he had lost.

"However, a demon king doesn't have to be able to fight. If she has a group of capable subordinates around her, she can also be a demon king."

The old devil changed the subject and said.

In Yasaka Kyoichi's opinion, the Crimson Demon girl next to him could never become a demon king or a great enemy of humanity.

But if the Red Demons are included, the situation will be different. The Red Demons, with one great magician per capita, are fully qualified to become the enemy of mankind and put external pressure on the current three human kingdoms.

Even the Demon King's Army, which once had no weaknesses, was beaten into a state of weakness by the Crimson Demons. When the soldiers were sent to attack the Crimson Demon Village, they cried bitterly and called it a meaningless battle to their deaths.

"Ah, yes, that's what I mean. In addition to my personal strength, I also have my people behind me!"

After hearing the old demon king's words of recognition of the overall strength of the Crimson Demon Clan, Huihui realized it a little late, and immediately added as soon as she reacted.

Everyone thought about it.

"Is this okay?"

Eris even asked Soket.

“Ah, it’s connected!”

The fortune teller performed divination again, but she didn't know what she had predicted, so she exclaimed in surprise.

"What's connected?"

Broly asked curiously.

"It's the divination that's connected!"
