The NTR Hero Knelt Before the Demon King – Chapter 112

The black space enveloped in darkness.

Stars swirl around, and in that place where the sun and moon swim like fish in a lake.

That, shaped like a woman, slowly reveals itself from the shadows.

“I never imagined I could summon a busy person like this.”

She speaks with a voice cool yet dripping with arrogance.

Her gaze soon shifts to the six beings seated before her.

A giant burning eye, floating in mid-air, entwined by a snake.

A figure with the body of a beautiful woman and the lower body of a snake.

A massive dragon with wings.

A man with blue skin and multiple hands.

An old one-eyed man, frail yet holding a spear.

And among them, sitting alone and looking this way, is a giant man in shining armor with an eagle perched on his shoulder, his whole body wrapped in lightning.

At this moment, they maintain a heavy silence, gazing at her as she just turned to face them.

Then, a moment later, the first to speak was the colossal dragon, which coiled around this world.

– “You must be quite busy… the flow of inevitability is broken, and unexpectedly everything is going as you wish, so it must be quite so. Am I wrong, Mari?” –

“Yeah, that’s right. You got it exactly. To be honest, I’ve been feeling like I could use ten more bodies lately. I’m so sorry for that. Koa, isn’t it insane how my children, whom you bet on to lose, are now skyrocketing?”

– “….Damn.” –

“Are you jealous?”

– “Damn jealous, you bastard.” –

The colossal winged dragon shakes with such intensity that the entire space trembles at her words.

At that moment, watching those two, the being with blue skin remarked in a tone that felt either comforting or mocking:

“Calm down. As I told Koa before, waving your hands after the cart has left is useless. You should be thankful that we’re managing to maintain stability without crashing down like others.”

=”Shut up, you son of a bitch.”=

The man wrapped in lightning displays a look of deep discomfort at the blue skin’s words.

At that, both the blue-skinned being and the massive dragon felt the atmosphere freeze for a moment and chose to remain silent.

Then…

“Don’t get too heated, Lord Neltarion. To be honest, considering how you’ve been lounging on Jupiter all this time, isn’t it about time for you to step down?”

=”You… have you finally gone crazy and want to die now? What kind of place do you think this is, that you can jabber that filthy tongue?”=

“Wanting to die? You haven’t forgotten about the rule among us Seven Gods that we cannot harm one another, have you? To think you’d forget such basic common sense, is your power waning to the point of bringing on dementia?”

=”You… you bastard…”=

With those words, the man wrapped in lightning exuded a threatening aura that seemed ready to crack the throne he sat upon.

Simultaneously, the woman with the snake’s lower body coldly glared at that person, filled with killing intent.

At that moment…

[“Take it easy, everyone.”]

=”!”=

“…Tch.”

In the midst of that tremendously tense atmosphere, the burning eye, wrapped in snakes, spoke in a heavy tone.

The two beings then frowned, and began to quell the aura they were emanating.

[“As Nua pointed out, direct combat among the Seven Gods is prohibited. If you’re thinking of fighting, do so through those children in the lower realm.”]

“Ha… yeah, understood. Right.”

=“You’re just a side character not even participating, but you sure can talk…”=

[“What did you say?”]

=”Nothing, just right.”=

As the moment of tension eased, the burning eye gently gathered strength, gazing at the other Seven Gods before it.

[“We didn’t gather here to waste our busy time on such trivialities. I’ve been quietly observing, but the flow on the surface has warped to the point of becoming unpredictable. And I’m sure everyone here agrees with this fact.”]

“Hmm…”

=“I agree. The fact that the blessed hero over there has turned traitor and joined Mari is…”=

– “Isn’t that because you spread your peculiar tastes recklessly?” –

“It’s reaping what you sow; you’re trying to fit our Falcon Empire’s children into some absurd religion.”

“And when things don’t go your way, you’re threatening me with the knife against my neck? Be ready for the day you might be dragged down from that throne soon.”

=“Keh…”=

At that moment, the man wrapped in lightning fell victim to a verbal assault by those present.

As soon as he clamped his mouth shut, the burning eye continued speaking.

[“Fundamentally, that may be so. But if this continues, the surface’s flow will completely become tangled. And as I’ve been asserting from the start, there’s definitely something behind this matter.”]

“The one behind this…?”

– “Isn’t that an exaggerated thought? No one else but us Seven Gods can initiate such changes in this world.” –

[“Generally, that may be true, but in the world, there are always exceptions. Just like how none of you know why the hero’s attitude suddenly changed. It’s not easy to predict the future.”]

– “Hmm… well no one would’ve guessed Mari would surge in power like this…” –

“So that means, someone is interfering with our world, and because of that, the flow has warped, causing these events to unfold?”

The woman with the snake’s lower body spoke earnestly at the burning eye’s words.

Upon hearing her, the expressions of those assembled hardened into stoic resolve.

The phenomenon that could be said to shake the rules of the world.

The fact that it was occurring meant that something extremely annoying was about to happen to everyone here.

=”What kind of bastard could dare meddle in our Seven Gods’ playground?”=

– “I don’t know, but it seems he definitely doesn’t like NTR, unlike you Neltarion.” –

“Well, then maybe we’ll get along unexpectedly well… but let’s put that aside. While I’ve benefited from this, I don’t wish for our game board to topple.”

“What shall we do? Ultimately, there’s no choice but to use that.”

[“Hmm…”]

=”You’re suggesting we unleash the hounds on the surface? That might be a bit troublesome in this situation…”=

“Troubling for you alone, I suppose. We’re in favor.”

“It’s regrettable that today, quite a number of lives will be lost…”

With that bittersweet acknowledgment, the one-eyed old man voiced their agreement.

Once the mutual agreement settled, the burning eye seized the moment, as the darkness around it began to recede, revealing a bright surface.

Then, red beams of light began to fall toward that place.

Each landed in one of the five countries on the continent and one empty land, transforming into forms resembling wild hunting dogs, setting off in search of their desires.

However…

“KYAAAH!!!”

“KUUUHHHH!!!”

– “Huh?” –

-=”What… what’s going on?”=

[“…”]

In the next moment, the hunting dogs, just about to spring into action, suddenly let out screams and vanished.

So naturally, as if instead of a disappearance, they were being forcibly returned to wherever they came from.

As the staggering scene unfolded before them, the seven absolute beings could only stare blankly in shock.

They distinctly felt that something beyond their comprehension was afoot.

Simultaneously, they vaguely sensed that a colossal storm, beyond their control, would soon sweep across the surface.

After finishing the interrogation on Cleopatra, Eliza stepped outside.

In that moment, the once confident look on her face morphed into a confusion of emotions.

The unexpected words that had escaped Cleopatra’s mouth.

Even Eliza, the Demon General, found herself engulfed in deep contemplation.

‘For now… I must inform Your Majesty, the Demon King of this fact.’

With that thought, Eliza quickly made her way toward the royal castle.

At that time, she caught sight of her comrade, whose expression was riddled with concern.

Belzebub’s figure came into view.

“Minister.”

“Ah… Eliza. What brings you here?”

“It’s about that… No, let’s discuss it in front of Your Majesty. You’re coming along, right?”

“Ah… yes. Understood.”

Despite looking more fatigued than usual, Belzebub accepted Eliza’s words.

Thus, the two set off toward the place where the Demon King resided.
