Take one step at a time.

Someone I met on the way forward spoke to me.

Oh, I know who you are.

I know who you are and I know what you want to do.

I am the wisest human being, and also the human being whom everyone hates and despises the most.

“It took a really long time to get from ancient times to here. Now rest in peace.”

“You are not worthy of the name king, Damien.”

The owner of the library.

My life has finally reached its end.

“You would leave the easy path and walk. This is also very like you…”

Since I was young, I have not been able to properly control my speech.

Since I used the two speaking styles interchangeably, I knew that I couldn’t change it anymore.

Lying quietly at the bottom of the broken library, quietly, without saying a word.

“Are you here to laugh at me too? Puh-huh, you’ve done a lot of things too. But in the end, you’re trying to blame God. This isn’t a funny comedy either.”

“…I just came to see the end of my friend. Goodbye. My friend, who has hated and loved God for a long time, and that is why he is finally meeting his end.”

“I hope you have a bad ending too.”

I giggle and laugh, but then I catch my breath.

Gradually, the spark of his life was slowly dying out.

Since the library is constantly moving, is the only consolation to be away from the orphanage where Orpheth is staying?

If he killed the children he raised, he wouldn’t be happy even after death.

“…Has another one left?”

The magic tower lord of the Tower of Destruction, he muttered and burned his body.

It was the last act of mercy that could be done.

At least it would be better than having the body eaten by wild animals in a place like this.

“Why bother walking down a difficult path…if that’s the last thing you want.”

The magic tower muttered and disappeared.

—

number of animals.

She was like a sore finger to me.

I killed countless people who looked at me solely out of possessiveness, jealousy, and a desire to monopolize, sent my own people down the path of destruction, and destroyed countless countries.

…If you think about it, it came back with pretty good results.

“I didn’t kill a single person today. So will you praise me?”

So, after becoming lovers, I thought about those issues and decided to make a deal with her.

I know that she is always thirsty for affection and wants to be with me, so I decided to praise her if she doesn’t kill anyone or do anything wrong.

It may seem like it would only work for a young child, but it was actually a pretty big deal for Marie.

I sat her on my lap and stroked her head.

…If I think about it this way, it seems to others that it’s just selfishness.

It’s not like that. I guess you could say it was a trick I created to suppress something I couldn’t suppress.

“As expected, the evil spirit’s hands feel good.”

Seeing her smiling while saying that, I could easily guess what she would do next, so I remained silent.

Sometimes silence is more useful than an answer.

It was dinner time when I was able to crawl out of my room.

“Evil God, I came out to meet you. But were you still in the room the whole time?”

“…It just so happened to be like that.”

In my opinion, if it weren’t for the body of God, I might have already died.

When I think about it that way, it seems like I’m living a happy life, and sometimes I don’t.

“Today… I guess I should start by saying that war is approaching. I tried to maintain the Cold War state by dividing it as much as possible, but like bastards locked in a cage, no matter how much I set an example for them, they kept struggling, unable to break out. ”

So, to put it simply, what Abel meant was that this terrible cold war was coming to an end and the era of war was gradually approaching.

In the end, repression could not be perfect, and if even the slightest gap were to open, the Cold War would quickly reveal itself to the world in the form of war.

“…Roughly how much do you think we have left?”

“It seemed like war would break out in three days at the most, or as soon as tomorrow.”

In fact, in the first place, further repression was of no use.

Since the interests of each country were at stake and the opportunity for a reversal was at stake, no country was unwilling to participate.

“Fortunately, three empires are in our hands, and the desert is also in our hands, but we have lost contact with all other countries.”

“…Everyone has cut off contact with the evil religion. They are doing things that are very suitable.”

In fact, when I first came here, the focus was on restraining the children.

We tried to limit the slaughter as much as possible, prevent massacres, and make the minimum amount of sacrifice.

however.

I realized the convenience of an example, and that there was a necessary massacre.

Although it was undoubtedly morally reprehensible, it was a necessary sacrifice for something greater and to satisfy my greed.

…Now I see myself as someone who has truly become a character destroyer worthy of an evil religion.

“…Decaprium, the Kingdom of Decarson has now lost its owner, so set up other scarecrows.”

“I will do it.”

“If that’s the case, then there are three empires and kingdoms?”

There’s an evil religion there.

It was an overwhelming force, but it was still an all-out war.

The evil religion is much stronger in melee than in full-scale warfare, as it spreads and instigates the enemy’s confusion, confusion, and false information.

It is clear that the countries will join forces and attack us first, so why not plant some traitors among them?

Decaprium was the perfect target to include as a traitor.

It is not clear whether the Queen of Decaprium is dead, and at the same time, the country is not on good terms with the evil religion.

“I will decide that Terrasia will take over the role of Queen of Decaprium. Can you do it?”

“As much as you want, sir.”

She, too, was always participating in dinner parties these days, as if all her major studies had been completed.

She used to not eat properly, but these days, when I see her eating well, my first thought is that it’s a good thing.

“First of all, as the Queen, run the country as usual. I will send Cecilia… to assist Terrasia.”

Then, after thinking about it for a while, I decided to dispatch both her and Ryu, who seemed to not have much to do in the underworld for the time being.

Ryu is also good at accounting, and he is also excellent at working in many other fields.

At the same time, I had to get medicine from Therasia, so I was killing two birds with one stone.

“And as for the war… Let Lilin, Petrania, Descartes, Gerhard, and Veronica and Adele take care of it first… Ah, let me tell you about Gerhardt separately.”

Since Abel was my main contact, he nodded to me.

Hero, Gerhard.

Perhaps because we didn’t have any overlap in work, we didn’t get to see each other much.

I looked back on my memories and used my powers… and I was certain it was a woman.

Well, we’ll have to meet again next time, so let’s face each other one more time then.

“And Abel, you should think of a strategy here. Depending on the situation, Caesar will be good for escorting and disrupting information, and Beatrice will also need to constantly hold meetings as a crystal ball.”

And Marie…she’s resting first.

It’s not like it’s a lover’s privilege, it’s that there really wasn’t a role that Marie could fit into.

If the war starts later, I’ll probably be quite busy from then on.

The entire continent will become the enemy.

“I will prevent dragons from participating in the war! Except for the ancestors!”

“Yeah, that’s a good idea too.”

Arpelius, Adele’s ancestor, said he wanted to rest in peace anyway, so it seemed unlikely that he would move unless there was some level of confusion.

If you think about it, now is the perfect time for me to take a break, right?

The situation was just so bad that I had nothing to do.

“Then, first of all, father, it would be better for you to think about the commoner academy that Marie and I talked about before. We also need to talk about creating systems, etc. with Beatrice… After the war is over, we will slowly work on other things as well. I guess I should take a look.”

“That’s a good idea.”

When I visited the academy before, there was talk about the commoner academy.

It’s not that it doesn’t exist, but since the system hasn’t been firmly established yet, it would be a good idea to prepare in advance.

If possible, we should create two more academies so that we can select many talented people as there are many commoners.

“Then everyone, go in and rest today.”

Two days had passed since the meeting ended.

With the declaration of a kingdom, the Cold War ended and the war truly began.

“Yes, as expected, everyone held hands in advance.”

“Working under our sight. It looks like there are some unusual people mixed in.”

“The more difficult times are, the more wise people become. Now then, let’s go somewhere for the first time in a while.”

It was the moment when the terrible Cold War ended and a terrible war emerged.
