This is Abaddon's judgment. How could such a guy be the Demon King?
The next second, Equio's body was swallowed up by the surging mucus...
………………
…………
……
After that, two pieces of important news came from the Demon Realm at the same time.
The demon general Star, who controls the southern border, expressed his submission to Livi and publicly announced that Livi is the current demon king.
The demon general Abaddon who dominated the West was killed by the rising young tiefling Equio. It is said that Abaddon suppressed Equio throughout the battle, but at the last moment, Equio burst out with some powerful force and killed Abaddon in an instant.
Equio, who killed Abaddon, also loudly declared himself the Demon King.
Thus, one after the other, at the same time, with the death of the two demon generals, two substitute demon kings appeared in the demon realm at the same time.
All of this was heard by the last demon general... Dullahan...
Our Demon General, Lord Dullahan, responded to this by saying...
"...Ah?" (Brother Dali did not feel)
Chapter 58 Isn’t this a ready-made test target?
For Dullahan, this was truly a change of circumstances.
What the hell is going on?
He could understand why Livi asked Sta to surrender, but Equio's killing of Abaddon made Dullahan feel a little confused.
Livi is the reincarnation of a hero, so she can't be a demon king, but that Equio...
...Could it be that after two hundred years, the real devil has finally arrived?
At that moment, in addition to doubts, Dullahan also felt a strong sense of absurdity, but now he no longer cared about it.
...In at most half a month, his injuries will be completely healed. No matter how big the problem is now, it can't stop him from recovering from his injuries and then striving for the extraordinary level.
Although all the demons in the Demon Realm are now waiting for Dullahan to give a final response, after all, he is the only one of the three demon generals who has not given a clear statement.
Although Abaddon's condition couldn't be considered a statement, but... it was dead.
Unless you become an undead, the iron rule of the Demon Realm... the dead have no right to express dissent...
...Everyone was waiting for Dullahan's reaction. After all, no matter what, Dullahan should have some reaction, whether it was an admission or a rebuttal, there should always be some expression.
After all, Dullahan's desire for the position of Demon King is well known to everyone. Apart from anything else, he is now officially occupying the Demon King's City and sitting on the throne that originally belonged to the Demon King.
As a person like him, he should have some reaction to the two people who loudly announced that they were the devil.
But after waiting for a long time, I only got one response...
...that is silence
Dullahan did not comment on this and chose to respond with silence. From his point of view, there was really nothing much to say.
One is that he is the reincarnation of a brave man and cannot be the devil king. The other one, even if he is, how much time does he have to grow?
Although Abaddon lost the battle, according to the description, Equio was no match for Abaddon at first, and only relied on the final burst to catch the opponent off guard and turned defeat into victory.
So most likely, even if Equio is the Demon King, he cannot fully grasp the Demon King's power. No matter how strong this power is, the power that cannot be controlled is not to be feared...
...Especially, Dullahan himself has already stepped into the realm of transcendence. As long as he works hard, he is only one step away from transcending ordinary things.
So, Dullahan naturally felt that there was no need to express any opinion, but this was his own idea and meaning.
He was able to make such a judgment because he had a higher perspective and mastered more information. However, many ordinary demons did not have the information he had, so they could only make some wrong judgments.
For example, Dullahan’s attitude… was considered an escape, or was it that the battle with Livi wasn’t actually Livi escaping from Dullahan, but rather a win-lose situation for both sides?
Originally, in the minds of most demons in the Demon Realm, Dulahan was an undefeated demon general. Although he lost to the hero, the hero was a match for the Demon King after all, so it was natural that Dulahan could not win.
Other than that, Dullahan should have no rivals.
But at this moment, such a situation occurred...
...Instantly, all kinds of rumors spread like wildfire, sweeping across the entire Demon Realm, making the scene more and more lively.
Anyone can sense that the Demon Realm is about to experience a major reshuffle of forces.
Meanwhile, Livi...
After finally disassembling the stigmata and figuring out the operating principles of the outer divine magic part, Livi immediately had an idea.
"I see. In that case, this idea can be used as a reference..."
The divine art of the outer layer of the stigmata created the lie of "hero" to shackle the bearer of the stigmata.
Now Livi can choose to directly remove this layer of magic, but in this case, it is unclear what changes will occur to the stigmata without the shackles.
Because the analysis results of the real holy marks inside are completely incomprehensible.
Livi and Star both felt that they should show the most basic respect and caution to something that was completely incomprehensible.
After suffering a big loss once, Livi is now much more careful in doing things.
Even though we know that the outer layer of divine magic is a shackle, this thing can indeed make the power of the stigmata controllable. It is hard to say what will happen after it is removed.
However, the outer divine arts could not be kept either, so after considering all the above, Livi made a decision...
"...Then modify it. Transform the outer divine arts and gradually release the restraints on the stigmata. Let me get used to the power of the stigmata little by little."
Until I can fully master the stigmata...
...Then, how should the outer layer of divine arts be constructed?
First of all, the identity of "hero" must no longer be used. It is already known that the essence of the "hero" is nothing more than a false idol created by the empire. The empire can manipulate this image through public opinion at any time and anywhere, thereby directly affecting the effectiveness of the magic.
So, what we need to do is to create a new concept and directly replace the concept of brave man.
"Very good, I have an idea. The next question is how to do it..."
Therein lies the problem...
…Although Star has experience in using divine arts and a wealth of experience in body transformation, he will eventually have to work on himself, so Livy still feels that she can't just do it directly.
No matter how authoritative a special medicine is, it won't be tested on living people right from the start, right?
Therefore, it would be best to find someone to “try my hand” with…
Livi needs a suitable target so that she can try out the correctness of this idea first, and conduct experiments on the other party to ensure that it is foolproof before she can start on herself.
"…Isn't that a coincidence?"
Originally, Livi was very troubled by this, because the stigmata was definitely only possessed by the hero and the demon king, and the demon king hadn't made any movement for two hundred years, so she could only use herself as a test target.
But now, the target has come to us.
...A tiefling boy from the West, who calls himself the Demon King, Equio.
Others may not be sure, but Livi is certain that this guy is most likely the real Demon King. Although no one knows why it took two hundred years to appear, he has appeared anyway.
It is a benefit that comes right to our doorstep, so naturally we should thank God for his help.
Star was also very excited about this, "...I didn't expect that in addition to the hero, I could also study the Demon King's Mark? This is really great!"
"Okay, then the next goal can be determined. It's not easy..."
Livi couldn't help but sigh, she really encountered a lot of situations here.
but……
...Before setting out to find Equio, Livi has one more thing to do.
"Let's check the status of the 'experimental field'..."
When Livi mentioned this, Star's face immediately fell...
"...Yes, Livi-sama."
Chapter 59: The Undead Production Brigade
When the word "experimental field" was mentioned, Star's expression fell, but she still agreed honestly, and then left the underground bunker where they were hiding with Livi.
Before, I wanted to study the stigmata and didn’t want to be disturbed, so I found a place to hide, just to avoid trouble.
Whether you can win the fight or not is another matter. Even if it is a mosquito that can be killed with a slap, it is still annoying if it keeps buzzing in your ear, right?
But now that we have made some preliminary research on the stigmata, there is no need to hide any further.
And beyond that, Livy carved out an area for her own hideout.
And this area is what she calls the "experimental field".
When Livi arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered in the experimental field. Mava and Aenekos were there. When they saw Livi and Sta coming, they immediately ran over to greet them.
"How about it?"
Livi came up and asked a direct question, but Mava and Aenekos shook their heads helplessly.
"It's very bad. Go and see for yourself..."
Li Wei stepped into the experimental field, which was a piece of farmland that had been carefully cultivated and reclaimed...
...Of course, farming in a hellhole like the Demon Realm is a fantasy in itself, but Livi still did it.
There are two reasons...
...First, it is mainly the bottom-level setting of the Chinese people. I feel uncomfortable when I see a piece of land lying waste. It would be really uncomfortable if I don’t plant something on it.
Perhaps the initial motivation for many Chinese people's yearning for the starry sky and the sea is to farm on Mars one day!
The second reason is more realistic. Livi is trying to improve productivity.
She wanted to fundamentally destroy the empire's cannibalistic social system, but the prerequisite was that she must be able to find a suitable alternative system.
You can't just kill and not bury, destroying the old order but not finding a new order to replace it. That would be too half-hearted.
The biggest obstacle to the difficulty of reforming most feudal systems is that productivity has not been liberated, and the most fundamental and primary task is to solve the problem of food first...
...We can’t even get enough food to eat, what’s the point of talking about reform?
In the first attempt, Livi tried to grow something in the Demon Realm, but judging from the current situation, the result was quite tragic.
The land has been plowed, which is not a big problem. The Undead Knights under Star are a group of undead creatures without self-awareness. They are a universal labor force that can make any capitalist drool.
They don't need to eat or drink, won't get tired, and won't go on strike or rebel. They can be summoned when needed and dispersed on the spot after use, without having to compete with living people for precious survival resources.
Apart from the fact that it can't do some delicate and meticulous work, isn't this thing better than an AI robot?
And it's not impossible to do delicate and meticulous work, as Aenekos has experience in this area. The internal structure of the flesh and blood puppets she made is not much worse than those sophisticated machines. Through her modifications, she can produce sophisticated flesh and blood puppets that can perform various specialized tasks.
Although it is still a bit difficult to achieve "mass production" at present, and it can only rely on hand-kneading in the Anekos workshop, but at least it is barely enough for now.
Combining the two, basic physical work is taken over by the flesh puppets and the undead army.
It is estimated that Star would never have thought that her undead army could become a production team...
But although this problem was solved, the problem of the Demon Realm was still not solved, especially this land was filled with rich corpse qi, which had an innate restraint on living things. A batch of seeds that Livi had planted with great effort had just sprouted when 90% of them died.
The one who provided this batch of seeds was Sta, and she had brought them back when she invaded the main continent.
This also means that she has tried to farm on her own land before, with pretty disastrous results.
"..."
There are many problems at present. The undead creatures can only move at night. This is because of the barrier created by Sta that blocks the sunlight, allowing the undead creatures to work normally.
If they wanted to promote it on the main continent, they could only switch to working at night and replace it with flesh and blood puppets during the day.
Problems in this regard can at least be solved, but the difficulties in planting caused by the environment of the Demon Realm are difficult to resolve.
And more importantly, even if these problems are solved, it will only solve part of the manpower problem, but the grain output itself will still not increase.
In addition, although the army of the undead is useful, it still requires magic power to drive it. Continuously summoning the undead consumes a lot of magic power. Even Star does not have the luxury of continuously summoning the army of the undead.
In other words, the problem of magic power supply still needs to be solved, which is in disguise an energy problem.
