Roll the dice?

Not...... Although the word greed is often associated with gamblers, Mammon does not like or even hate gambling - the reason is actually very simple, because, just as there is light and there is shadow, and there is naturally a win when there is a loss, greed is like it, and in the case of no guarantee that it will be favored by Lady Luck every time, it is a good choice to stay away.

But now, it has no choice.

can only passively accept the judgment of fate.

It hated the feeling, but it was helpless - after all, it was a loser, the first failure, long before the first failure - Solomon, or the guy who called himself Solomon, had stripped it of everything it had, and now even if the boy in front of him chose the worst outcome, it was only a return to square one.

There is nothing left to lose but life.

That being the case, since the ending can't be worse anyway, then ......

Why not take the plunge?

The black mist was surging, and Mammon, who was among the Demon Kings of the Four Directions, finally made up her mind.

"I don't really have a choice, do I?"

In a rather anthropomorphic voice, it says, "In that case...... Well, I choose to believe you, people always have to learn to trust each other. ”

This is a choice that has no choice but to make.

If you can, it's good to eat the big fish and the small fish directly, who wants to play a childish game of mutual trust.

"Well, let's talk about it. Amy Ulysses didn't really care what the monster in front of him said, all he needed was a statement from it, an introduction to keep the topic going, "What is your so-called secret, your so-called truth?"

"Declare in advance," said the young Glory, holding out a finger and attaching a rather wicked condition, "if the material you provide is not satisfactory to me, then the predetermined reward will be 'torn' and gone." ”

"You'll be satisfied. ”

The Demon King who had destroyed Pandimaninan said in a deep and powerful voice, "Because, what you are about to know may be the greatest secret of the human world. ”

"The biggest secret?"

Amy pretended to be surprised on the surface, but inside she scoffed at it.

As the High Priest of Hemtika, even if he did not inherit the true forbidden knowledge of the world, he had enough access to the ancient scrolls that were sealed in the underground library, although due to time constraints, he did not really read them in their entirety, but ...... He knew much more about the fire and the secrets within the realm of order than most people.

What qualifies as the greatest secret of the human world?

What is the origin of the fire?

Still is...... What lurks in the creeping, wriggling dark chaos beyond the realm of order?

He didn't think that these secrets, which had plagued humanity for thousands of years, would get answers from the mouth of a demon, a demon that existed in a false world.

Of course, one thing is another, and the collection of intelligence is still necessary.

But what the Glory One did not expect was that the truth that Mammon shook off would be so...... Sensational.

"King—"

Deliberately elongated tone: "Not human. ”

"What did you say?" the short words seemed to have some uncanny magic, causing a brief blank in Amy's consciousness, "You—say it again." ”

However, it did not receive the answer it deserved.

The Descendant of Glory, who had a bad thought in his heart, stared sharply at the direction where the Greedy Demon Lord was supposed to be, but before he could find the dark, distorted, amorphous smoke,'s exclamation and the whistling of his sword slashing through the atmosphere were heard behind him.

However, the picture he saw behind him was not very reassuring.

The short boy's neat sword split the smoke in two, but then, as if the sea had been separated, it was once again united, or rather, they fused together again after dodging the attack, turning into a viscous cloud that seemed to drip water, aimed at Kobcock under the hood before he had time to change his moves.

There is no way to avoid it.

And what's worse is that this time, this distance, unless Amy can stop time again...... There is no way to save it!

But that's obviously not possible.

The last bottle of energy potion had just been used up, and now the reason why he was able to stand here and kill several incarnations of Mammon one after another, instead of lying on the ground like a dead dog after activating his ability, was largely due to the effect of the drug that excites his spirit and restores his energy, which has not been completely eliminated - but even so, it is undoubtedly a very unrealistic thing to expect him to activate his ability again and stop time.

Either you die, or you will fall into a backlash before the ability is activated and takes effect.

There is no third way.

The young Glory Man did not waste his precious time waiting and wandering, and almost at the same time that he noticed the movement of the disembodied Greedy Demon King, he galloped away like a sharp arrow from a string, towards Corbock, the short boy.

It's just that...... It's too late.

In the end, Corbock did not escape his fate, as the black smoke of a living creature, or more accurately, a living creature released its tentacles like an eight-clawed octopus, and then seeped into his body at great speed along his mouth, nostrils, eyes, and ears.

- Ulysses is long overdue.

The broad-bladed and thick-ridged standard sword in his hand could not be wielded.

He couldn't do it.

Before the results are clear.

But that doesn't mean he won't do anything, on the contrary, he has a lot to do during this time.

For example-

"I'm sorry. ”

He took a deep breath, then exhaled, and without the slightest hesitation, threw a punch that knocked the short boy to the ground.

Then, with an incomprehensible sigh, his blue eyes turned completely cold—he simply and brutally and mercilessly broke the limbs of the fallen young man.

If there was any wormwood rope left, he didn't mind tying it inside and out, but unfortunately, the last rope on his body had been left in the previous battle, and although it would not be difficult to find it again, there was no need for it at all.

Kaubak's self-healing ability is very strong, but he also has his own weaknesses, without the help of others, he is completely helpless against injuries such as broken bones and misaligned bones, and blindly activating his ability can even lead to catastrophic consequences.

Like what...... Bones grow together by mistake and become a deformed person.

So—

Kaubak has lost his threat.

There was no need to kill him.

The Glory Man looked at the young man on the ground with his limbs broken with a complicated expression - he had to take responsibility for the sudden deterioration of the situation, if it weren't for his greed and carelessness, he wouldn't have found a gap in the Demon King, let alone put his companions in danger.

It's just that he doesn't think he's done wrong.

Not careful enough, cautious - this is his self-reflection.

Greed, restrained greed, is necessary in Amy's view, and is one of the driving forces for human progress and the development of civilization.

There is no need to feel sorry for yourself and bear all the consequences on yourself.

That's not a saint.

It's nerves.

Shaking his head, the young Glory One stopped thinking uselessly.

He turned his gaze to Corbock, who had fallen to the ground and had not yet made a sound, waiting for the result.

But the accident happened again—the short boy suddenly spasmed, and the green tendons snaked under the flesh like tentacles, and then ...... He opened his eyes, only the whites of his eyes stared around blankly, and then stopped on Amy's body.

It's not over yet......

Faintly, the Glory One seemed to hear a whisper as hoarse as an insect.

Not Mammon.

This kind of sound that overlaps countless voices like the sound of summer cicadas, which is as solemn and sacred as a hymn and full of blasphemy, definitely does not belong to that demon king.

Who will it be?

Does that sentence have any special meaning?

Before Amy could straighten out the clues, Corbock's screams interrupted his thoughts.

"You, you!"

No, not Cobberke.

It's the greedy demon king.

The Glory One corrected his initial miscalculation, carefully grasped the sword in his hand, and assumed a defensive posture.

However, it didn't come in handy.

"What the hell is ...... How the hell did you provoke that being—"

The last last note, which was pulled long, then came to an abrupt end.

Immediately afterward, the boy's breathing gradually stabilized.

- Like the sea after a storm, it is calm and peaceful.

It's over.

Mammon's terrible screams didn't seem fake.

It's just that......

If it were to be the end, he would not be so naïve.

Clenched into fists, Amy Ulysses' eyes were cloudy.

However, in the end, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

"Hasta—"

He said, his eyelids drooped and he couldn't see joy or anger.
