After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

PS: Hey, my fellow book friends! I plan to update less this week, and will update three times a day until next Monday.

Having a certain amount of drafts in reserve is very important to me because I am a person who likes to revise.

If you don't have a draft saved, you will lose the room for revision.

If things go well, I'll post more next week.

Chapter 215 #212 Despicable Double-Dealing

Xu Mu took a step back and asked curiously, "General Doug?!"

"Ahahaha! What an unexpected meeting! The Blue Bandit!"

Sea Mist Demon King...

Or rather, General Doug laughed out loud.

He looked at Xu Mu and said, "Yes, I am the frontline commander of the Central Land, General Doug."

The frontline commander of the central land is actually the Sea Fog Demon King himself?

Xu Mu subconsciously asked: "Is everything okay on the front line?"

General Doug said, "Don't worry, advance steadily. The strong reinforcements from the Bauhinia Kingdom will arrive soon. It's only a matter of time before we capture the Sea Mist Demon King's Palace."

"???"

Which side are you on?

The Sea Mist Demon King was obviously very satisfied with Xu Mu's reaction. He smiled triumphantly, "Brother Xu, you see, you are still surprised."

You are talking nonsense!

This truth is shocking. How can we not be surprised when we are caught off guard?

The Sea Mist Demon King walked forward without looking back. He just said, "How was it? Was my trick of changing the world into something else impressive?"

"..."

It can’t be said to be wonderful, it can only be said to be too wonderful.

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask for clarification: "Lord Haiwu... no, General Doug... is this your 'deployment'? What on earth is going on?"

"That's right! This is my plan, or maybe even my 'sure win' strategy! What I didn't expect was that, Brother Xu—"

General Doug grinned.

He continued, "—You're just like me, a despicable two-faced person! The young and powerful Blue Bandit who's currently in the limelight is actually the Chief Consul under the Demon King? Brother Xu, we are so similar!"

No.

No no no...

Strictly speaking, we are still very different.

"Well."

Little Rose was completely taken aback. She looked back and forth between Xu Mu and Doug and asked, "Mr. Wudi, Mr. Wudi, what's wrong? Do you know him?"

"...His current identity is the commander of the human side."

"Really?" Little Rose's reaction was very cold. "And then?"

There is no more!

Lady Rose, don't try to understand things you can't yet understand. The current situation is too complicated for you.

The water here is very deep and you can't grasp it.

"I don't know what's going on..." Xu Mu shook his head slowly. "In short, this matter is much more complicated than I thought."

The Sea Mist Demon King was quite calm. He said, "It's not that complicated, actually. I've made two plans: one on the Demon King, the other on humans. No matter which side wins, I'll be the winner! And I'll be able to fully enjoy the fruits of victory—the big winner!"

indeed.

In this war against demons, if the Demon King's side achieved ultimate victory, then he, as the Sea Mist Demon King, would naturally be the biggest beneficiary;

If the human side wins, then "General Doug", as the commander-in-chief on the front line, will certainly be rewarded with outstanding achievements and gain fame and fortune.

but……

I always feel like something is wrong.

Xu Mu was silent for a moment, then asked, "General Doug, you're not confident in your own abilities, so you made this choice? If you were sure you could lead the monsters to victory in the war, why did you come here to become a general?"

Doug raised his chin and smiled, "I'm now the frontline commander of the Central Army. If I want the 'Demon King' to win the war, isn't it simple?"

what.

indeed.

He is the commander-in-chief, and it is really not that difficult for him to make the "devil" win.

Giving random commands and intentionally sending troops away are low-level behaviors. The fact that the Demon King has all the military intelligence is enough for him to win the war.

So--

Don't you do that?

Xu Mu secretly raised his guard and asked again, "This is your winning hand. No one would tell this to someone who might ruin your plan. General Doug—no, Sea Fog Demon Lord, why are you showing me your secret?"

"Because you were already doubting it, right?"

"..."

The Sea Fog Demon King asked the question, and Xu Mu remained silent.

The Sea Mist Demon King continued, "Brother Xu, you're truly exceptional! In the Abandoned Demon King's Palace, you displayed your courage and quick wit; in the Adventurer's Cup finals, you proved your military prowess with a crushing victory! Even the 'Flesh and Blood Island Defense Line' I painstakingly constructed was discovered by you, and it didn't achieve the desired effect... And now, you've sat in my meeting room for eight hours, confirming my whereabouts!"

One by one.

One after another.

The Sea Fog Demon King told what Xu Mu had done.

in fact.

Xu Mu first showed his prowess in the goblin's lair, where he dragged Anya to defeat the Iron Gray Goblin King.

General Doug also knew about this, but——

It's not appropriate to talk about such trivial matters now.

Isn't it just killing a maze boss alone?

A piece of cake.

The Sea Mist Demon King paused for a moment, then continued, "After all, I don't know how to clone myself. When I'm playing 'General Doug,' I can't appear in the Demon King's Palace. When I'm arranging troops within the Demon King's Palace, I can't appear among the human army. If you're suspicious, you'll quickly uncover my true identity... Brother Xu, I believe you have the ability."

"what……"

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you need to sleep?"

The Sea Mist Demon King smiled mysteriously, "A truly powerful person doesn't need sleep. Furthermore... General Doug's followers include a changeling. If I'm unable to split myself, the changeling will assume my appearance and conceal my presence for a moment."

Yes, yes?

Xu Mu asked again: "Then, Your Excellency. I would like to know...what is your position?"

General Doug...

In other words, the Sea Mist Demon King sighed softly and did not answer immediately.

He resumed his pace and continued, "Brother Xu, I've been pondering a question. Are humans superior, or are demon kings superior? I've pondered this for a long time, but I haven't come up with an answer. However, as I pondered this, I gradually understood a truth—becoming a demon king of a human being means one should be undefeated!"

……

……

Sea fog is a unique weather phenomenon at sea. It is changeable and comes and goes without a trace. People trapped in the fog cannot tell the direction.

The "Sea Fog Demon King" has the ability to change, he is the "Demon King of Change".

He possesses a disguise ability that is even more powerful than [Thousand Faces]. Becoming a human is a piece of cake for him. If necessary, he can even transform himself into a god, emitting a false, but very real, divine pressure.

More than one hundred and fifty years ago, on a whim, the Sea Mist Demon King gathered his power, transformed into a human, and went to the Free City to experience the "mortal life".

He originally planned to experience it for three to five days and then come back, but in the end he stayed in the Free City for three months before returning.

Unbelievable!

Unbelievable!

Running on the road are steel monsters, televisions, musicals, holy spirit duels, and a wide variety of entertainment projects.

What surprised the Sea Fog Demon King the most was the city’s complete underground drainage system.

That is……

What a beautiful city!

Completely different from the Demon King's City with its sewage flowing everywhere and foul smells, the Free City is clean and tidy, and its livability is extremely high.

After the Sea Fog Demon King returned to his Demon Palace, he could never forget what he had seen and heard.

For the first time ever, he walked out of the palace and came to the chaotic and dirty outer city of the Demon King's City. He was stunned for a long time under the puzzled gazes of all the monsters without saying a word.

Compared with the Free City, his Demon King's Castle was as dilapidated as a village in the mountains, almost like a ruin!

Why is this happening?

Humans are so weak!

It was also at that moment that the Sea Mist Demon King had his first question since his birth: "Are humans better than the Demon King?"

Chapter 216 #213 The Demon King is Thinking

The next day, the Sea Mist Demon King transformed into a human again and headed for the Free City.

This time, he was an engineering scholar.

He stayed in the Free City for five years in order to learn about humanity's advanced city construction and maintenance systems—the more he learned, the more amazed he was.

He was amazed by the level of civilization before him.

Humanity has never given up its pursuit of truth and its quest for the unknown. After thousands of years of accumulation, a vast body of knowledge and a solid theoretical foundation have sparked the Industrial Revolution. The birth of scientific and technological products has transformed human life and is slowly but profoundly changing the world.

The intricate railways break through the blockade of mountains and jungles, and cargo ships crossing the oceans break down the barriers of rivers and oceans.

Humans use technology to connect the entire world together, and even mortals without power can rely on industrial products to travel around the world.

As a result, the economy, knowledge and civilization experienced explosive growth.

The Sea Fog Demon King stood on the top of the "Sky Tower" in the free city. Standing at a height of 350 meters, he looked at the lights of thousands of homes below him and was completely impressed by humans!

this……

Such a weak and ignorant race actually has such wisdom!

They passed on the torch, and later generations continued to improve and perfect on the basis of their predecessors, developing their own civilization to a level beyond the imagination of the Demon King. They mastered incredible technology!

Five years later, the Sea Fog Demon King used human technology to build an underground drainage system for his Demon City.

The sanitary conditions in the Demon King's Castle were greatly improved in an instant, and all the monsters who had used it praised it.

His Celestial Kings gave him a thumbs-up and praised him, "Lord Haiwu! Your wisdom is as bright as the stars. This 'underground drainage system' is so efficient and ingenious it's truly admirable. Your kindness is also unparalleled. You've improved the living conditions of the lower-level monsters in the outer city!"

The Sea Mist Demon King sat on the throne, saying nothing.

He just transformed into a human more frequently and went to the Free City to experience life.

Sometimes it’s a businessman;
