Chapter 453: Give Them a Hand
[2068]
The main hall of the royal palace.
The Demon King, who was sitting on the throne and was pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
Outside the hall, the door opened, and the Demon King's most loyal servant, Jia Chen, entered the hall and said to the Demon King: "Your Majesty the Demon King, the leader of the Demon King's rebels, come to meet you. β
"Let him in."
"Yes!"
GΔchen leaned back, then turned and walked out of the palace.
A moment later.
A sturdy figure in a gray cloak with a hood obscuring his face walked in from outside the temple and came to the throne of the Demon King.
As he took off his hood, he looked up and looked at the Demon King.
After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Really...... It's been a long time, Father. β
Yes, Father.
That face under the hood is the face of Joban Sogo's adopted son, the second king of the Kingdom of Time, Elijah Adany!
After passing the throne to his children, he responded to the call of the Demon King, came to this special era of timeline convergence, took over the task given to him by the Demon King, and began to create an organization opposite the Demon King.
He gathered those who thought that the Demon King was the culprit who destroyed the world, and recruited them who were unwilling to enter the city built by the Demon King, gathered them, and built a survival base to help those people survive in this special era.
These things were not difficult for Elijah, who had accumulated a lot of experience as the king of pioneering.
The difficult thing is to control the hearts of those who begin to flood after they are full, and under the influence of people with ulterior motives, how can they continue to pinch the trend of thought that "as long as you defeat the Demon King, you can end this dark age".
Therefore, there are always radical main fighters emerging from the organization, and more and more.
And such a complex human heart was born in a time of peace and was not experienced by Elijah, who was deeply loved by his subjects.
Therefore, when Elijah, who was concentrating on the construction of the base and thinking about how to make everyone in the organization well-fed, clothed, and well-housed, reacted, the organization he created was already famous as the "Demon King Rebellion".
And the guns, demons and other weapons that he brought to the people, which was intended to make them resist the weirdos and protect the people, fueled and inflated their ambitions.
As a last resort, in order not to be coerced by this "tide of public opinion" to start an all-out war with the Demon King, the organization that had been built with great difficulty fell apart.
In the end, he and the King of the Demon Time jointly staged a huge "funeral" ceremony - with many believers as sacrifices, casting the myth of the invincibility of the King of the Demon Time, and using fear to suppress the wave.
Since those people want to defeat the Demon King so much, then tell them the absolute facts...... That's, impossible!
This is the fastest, most efficient, and most brutal option.
At that time, the person who was responsible for cooperating with Elijah, commanding the Demon King's army, and leading the Demon King's rebel army to the place where the Demon King was located was the former Hana.
In addition, Gates's friends died in that battle.
Wads, also after that battle, officially joined the royal court.
Similarly, it was after that battle that Hana began to gradually retreat into the background.
At the beginning, the words and expressions of the king of the demon when he made that decision.
Elijah still remembers it to this day.
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ If you want to fight one school of thought, you have to use another school of thought. β
"Therefore, rather than manipulating their hearts and letting them live without themselves, I prefer to let them die with true beliefs, and then, with their deaths, forge a new trend of thought for the living."
"Elijah, you know, I can't put more energy into them all the time without an eternal seal."
"And then leave this flaw to the undead of time who still haven't given up."
"So, since they want to die for the world, let's die."
At the end of the words, in the eyes of the Demon Time King, there was a red light like magma, deep and hot.
It makes people feel trembling from the heart, and awe!
β¦β¦
The memories end.
Elijah took a deep breath, exhaled, and continued, "Father, I feel the fluctuations of my own history...... Is something happening? β
Hearing this, the King of Demon Time looked at Elijah, who had never contacted him again after that battle, was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "It's very simple, the group of time undead who claim to manage all history have exhausted their skills, and they must use this initial and last card." β
"What!?" Hearing this, Elijah's eyes suddenly widened, "Are you saying that they, the group of temporal undead, have begun to reset the original timeline of this place where time and space meet?" β
"Nope." The King shook his head and said with a hint of contemplation in his eyes, "It's not 'starting to restart', but, it's already been restarted." β
When the words fell, the king raised his right hand when he met the demons.
With his movement, on his body, countless invisible colorless silk threads began to appear, densely packed, one end was tightly bound to the body of the Demon Time King, and the other end was connected to the distant void of nowhere.
If you zoom in on those silk threads, you will find that each of them is a complete timeline up to [2068], and more than 70% of the timelines are in a state of half-destruction.
And those timelines are basically the timelines that were once controlled by the History Management Bureau, and then were treated as self-destructing trucks by the History Management Bureau, and actively pushed to the timeline of self-detonation in front of the Demon King......
But when they appeared in front of the Demon King, they were in a delicate state that could be saved.
So, when the king of demons, save? Or not save?
This is a conspiracy.
Ridiculous, right?
The person who originally preached the evil name of the Demon King instead gambled everything on the goodness of the Demon King.
As a result, it is obvious that the Demon Time King, who has carried the future of those timelines, is also firmly bound to the future, and together with the Historical Management Bureau that he suppressed in that fixed time and space, no one can leave.
Then the long game began.
The Historical Management Bureau, which has a deep background, managed to bypass the blockade of the Demon Time King, contacted the members of the Historical Management Bureau who had escaped the catastrophe, and gave them different tasks......
Like what:
Mixing in the Demon King's rebels to fan the flames (which has been found out and disposed of by Elijah);
took refuge in the side of the Demon King as an undercover agent (Woz was halfway there);
or,
lure the qualified people of the time clan in various timelines to fall, grant them the title of "Time Robber", give them the technology of the alien knight's watch, let them disrupt time, and cause chaos to the demon king;
What's more, go to the worlds where Kamen Rider exists, and try to create a timeline that won't connect to the Demon King.
And all these actions are not only an experiment and plan of the Historical Management Bureau to try to overthrow the Demon King, but also a huge cover.
Because, from beginning to end, there is a dark line in the Historical Management Bureau that is carefully extending forward.
That is, a reboot of the original timeline of the birth of the Demon King...... & Subvert!
When the demon came, the king told Elijah all this.
And these facts, especially the number of timelines that were carried by the Demon Time King, even if Elijah had expected it before, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
After reacting, he immediately said, "...... Since I'm just feeling the fluctuations of my own history, not disappearing, it means that everything is still under your control, right? β
"Yes."
Saying this, the right hand raised by the king fell when he met the demons, and as a result, the countless timelines that were wrapped around him also disappeared.
"So, I've got to help them."
"Huh? Help whom?? β
Elijah, who didn't react for a while, asked subconsciously.
In this regard, the corners of the king's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said softly:
"Of course, help us...... Oh, enemy. β
