41 – The meaninglessness of the concept of good and evil

“To be sent back to the original world… What does that mean?”

“That’s right. It means that I will send you to the dimension where you originally lived.”

“Is that possible?”

“It is possible. Enough. Isn’t that what the celestial prophecy says in the first place?”

Are you referring to the part where the hero can return to the original world if he defeats the demon king?

“Please be specific.”

“The reason why we dare to go beyond the Demon Realm and conquer Middle Earth. It is because it is the period of ‘reorganization of the world’ that returns every 10,000 years.”

“Reconstruction of the world?”

“Right. The exact one is more complicated, but we intuitively call it that. Humans think of heavenly beings as beings like gods, but in fact, there are beings that are much higher than that. The first beings who created the heavens, the middle world, and the demon world.”

“You mean now is the time for them to reconstruct the world?”

“Similar. To be more precise, when the level of chaos in Middle-earth reaches a certain level, it is time to reconstruct the world.

And the level of chaos in the middle world naturally reaches its limit after about 10,000 years. In fact, the breaking point has already been reached.”

Miya’s mother continued her explanation of the ‘chaos shame’.

To sum up, the chaos level reaches a breaking point every 10,000 years.

And when the chaos level reaches that point, the heavenly world will have the authority to interfere with the middle world, and in the underworld, you will be able to squeeze through the chaos and open the door connected to the middle crab.

However, the level of chaos reached its limit some time ago. In other words, the heavenly world already had the authority to intervene in the middle world.

“But even so, the reason they can’t come down is because of me. We demons can control the level of chaos by crossing over to the middle world at the same time that the level of chaos reaches its limit. To be precise, each leader of the demons has the ability to do that.”

“The level of chaos has already reached its limit, but it means that you are suppressing it and preventing the intervention of the celestial realm.”

“Exactly. But even if I suppress it, of course the chaos level continues to rise. So, sequentially, the leaders of the other demons have to come over to the middle world and control a larger amount of chaos.”

It means that the leaders of the demon tribe are forcibly holding on to the level of chaos that seems to cross the limit at any moment.

It seems to be similar to the form of forcibly suppressing a bomb that is about to explode.

“Since the number of Demons who can use the door at one time is limited, they control the chaos sequentially.”

“Yes. And also. The existence that you guys call the Demon King. He needs a much higher level of Chaos in order to cross over to Middle-earth. Far more than the conditions under which heavenly bastards can intervene in the middle world.”

“So, it means that the level is slowly adjusted until the level that the demon king can manifest. In the heaven world, while preventing me from intervening in the middle world.”

“To be precise, after suppressing the level of chaos to a certain level, when the level of chaos that He can manifest is gathered, Bread at once! And explode.”

“Then, it means that the chaos level that has been suppressed will explode at once, covering the entire continent with demonia and chaos.”

“Right. Stupid celestial b*tches don’t know exactly about our inhibitions. It’s a top secret.”

Prophecy and the manifestation of the demon king. And the end of the world.

I perfectly understood a series of processes that were only passed on to humans in the form of prophecies and legends.

In short, the fight between heaven and hell over the authority to reconstruct the world that returns every 10,000 years.

In order to win the battle, the demons are currently adjusting the level of chaos.

“Is it okay to tell me such important information? Literally, I am the Champion of the Prophecy.”

“You are saying this because you are the warrior of the prophecy, right? In fact, if you only look at our fights, the demons will definitely win. His power, manifested in the chaos beyond its limits, is difficult even for the celestials to handle. Because the threshold to intervene is far too high for him. Of course.”

Does it mean that the demon king is much stronger because the conditions for the level of chaos that the demon king can intervene in are higher than the amount of level of chaos that heaven can intervene in the middle world?

It seemed that the higher the chaos level, the more powerful beings in the heavens and demons could intervene in the middle world.

“But we were defeated in a war ten thousand years ago. Because of the hero of the prophecy.”

“Are you saying that the hero of the prophecy is that strong?”

Was I that strong?

“Of course, the hero is not strong from the beginning when he is summoned. However, the hero summoned from the other world is the only one in this world who is not subject to the constraints of chaos.

That means there is no limit to his growth. It means that if you grow well, you can become strong enough to stand against him. Beyond the constraints of chaos.”

“Then, 10,000 years ago, the hero of the prophecy grew up safely and defeated the demon king. And the demons were defeated and the right to reorganize was taken away.”

“It was a story from ten thousand years ago. We learned from that experience. If there are no heroes, we can win.”

“That’s why I’m thinking of making me the side of the demons. This is it.”

“You don’t have to be on our side. Just not fighting for the Celestial b*tches and their minions, the humans, is enough. It’s okay even if you don’t do anything.”

If it wasn’t for me, they would win anyway.

If Miya’s mother’s explanation of ‘chaos’ was correct, then it was logically plausible.

But the problem is that we cannot know how much of Miya’s mother’s words are true and how much are lies.

Really, if all of this was true, I wouldn’t have to fight.

Because it was just a matter of staying still and returning to the original world.

“To reconstruct the world is to return the chaos value to 0 and construct the world in a more ideal form. And, of course, the ideals of the world of Heaven and the world of demons are different. In the process, the shape of the middle world changes.”

“Now, the middle world is the ideal world that the Elyos desire.”

“Right. Anyway, that’s why we go to war… If we get the authority to reconstruct, we can, of course, send you back to the original world. Of course, it is also possible to subject you to the rules of this dimension and make you a resident of this dimension.

In one word, you are an irregular. Of course, the moment the war ends, you have to choose either to send you back to the original world or to be included in the rules of the new world. Sending you back means that Heaven and we can do the same thing.”

“I see. Understand.”

I can go back even if I stay still. If Miya’s mother’s words were all true.

However, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy about something.

Is it because it’s hard to accept the fact that even if this world perishes, the world of humans can be covered in the blood of demons?

Is it because I am human or is it because of the basic perception that demons are evil.

The perception that demons are evil in the first place is just an ideology created by someone.

And if Miya’s mother is right, it means that the Heavens that won the last war forcibly planted the perception that demons are evil in the middle world.

Then, in the end, the concept of good and evil that we are judging is completely meaningless, and if the demons win, the things we believe to be evil can become good as of now.

But if that’s the case, why were demons portrayed as evil even in the world I originally lived in?

Is there a connection between the ideologies between the dimensions mentioned here?

In the end, there is no clear truth, and in the first place, humans were just brainwashed in a huge war…

“Ugh… Ha, I don’t know.”

I tried to accurately judge the truth, but the more I thought about it, the more my head hurt.

A very philosophical problem. No, it’s a much more fundamental problem about the abyss than that.

It meant that I couldn’t judge whether Miya’s mother’s words were correct or not.

It’s just a matter of choosing one of two directions.

“Does your head hurt? It will. Because humans have been brainwashed by the heavens for the past 10,000 years in the first place. Even if you face the truth, it’s only natural that you feel rejected first.”

“… That’s right. Because I can’t judge whether all these words are true or not.”

“It will be hard to believe. It’s because there’s a high probability that a similar notion would have worked in the world where you originally existed. The first beings are beings that transcend the concept of the world, so they can have a similar influence on several worlds little by little.”

Now I don’t know what it is.

It seems true that once the demons step by step pass over to the middle world and the demon king passes over at the end, the true war will begin.

However, the story after that cannot be certain.

“Well, think about it slowly. Let me introduce you again. I’m Miya Mom. It’s Lyricia. She is the queen of succubuses.”

“Succubus… ?”

“Right. Although, of course, Miya is not a complete succubus. Her father’s side is human.”

“Ah… That, that’s right.”

“Our love story that transcends races is a secret? If you promise to marry Miya, I’ll let you know specifically.”

“… I guess you don’t have to listen.”

I’m even thinking about the assumption that I might not be Miya’s mother.

Perhaps it could be a disguised demon, using Miya’s appearance as an example.

However, considering that he has no intention of posing any threat to me, this seems to be the truth.

Moreover, it was understandable that Miya, who seemed to have no experience, was so aggressive and erotic that her mother, a succubus, had a great influence.

“I brought you.”

“Ah, you worked hard, Camira.”

A sister named Kamira whom I saw at the bookstore before.

The older sister came in holding the fainting Miya.

I accepted Miya from Camira.

“The two of them are spherical, right?”

Are you saying that the bookstore was actually watching us from then on?

It meant that the demons had been keeping an eye on the hero for a long time.

“Is Miya safe?”

“Of course not. He’ll probably wake up after half a day or so. She had asked Peria to make her pass out for a day or so.”

“Does Miya know that you are the Queen of Succubus?”

“Of course I don’t know. The fact that this child has the blood of a succubus. Unfortunately, she doesn’t intend to inform yet. No, maybe she is forever.”

There were many emotions in Lilithia’s eyes looking down at Miya.

To be honest, I don’t think that was acting.

Wherever you go, a mother’s heart will always be the same.

“Well, anyway, so go back before Miya wakes up. Wouldn’t it be hard to give an answer right away? I understand. Think about it slowly.”

“… Are you sending it?”

“I was thinking that way from the beginning. I didn’t think you could twist it all at once. The man who stole my daughter’s heart.”

“… I never stole anything like that.”

“Whoops. I don’t think you’ll have such good feelings for humans, so I’m letting them go. Like I said, we have no intention of wanting to be hostile with you. I want you to know that we have common enemies. Then.”

“Oh… !”

Lyricia’s lewd smile.

At the same time, my vision was blacked out and I passed out without a chance to say anything.
