The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 542
542A diet of the fittest of flesh and blood) (3)
Patrice was embarrassed..
statement just now.
properly crossed the line.
At this place, where an international conference is being held, Roman Dmitry made a remark that looked down on all leaders from around the world..
“How do you punish? Does this mean you are going to turn the world government into an enemy??”
The corners of my eyes trembled..
world government is absolute.
If we do not follow the conclusion agreed upon by everyone here, the entire world will define the Korean Empire as an enemy and attack it..
Therefore, even powerful countries did not ignore the will of the world government..
It would have been better to create public opinion by recruiting people, but ignoring it outright was a very dangerous action..
Roman Dmitry was different.
Even though he knew that there would be repercussions in the future, he countered the hostility focused on him..
“Do you know what I thought was the most interesting part of learning about this world? As society develops rapidly, it places too much importance on what is visible on the outside. On the battlefield, it is natural to show no mercy to the enemy. However, in this world, even though the justification was secured and the war was won, the entire process is completed and many issues are questioned and explained, such as why the war had to be fought, why the enemies were dealt with so cruelly, and why other peaceful methods did not exist. do. That explanation does not come from love for humanity. Before the war broke out, methods such as economic sanctions were used to dry out the enemy countries, but because the sight of blood and death in front of our eyes was so irritating, we only reacted sensitively to things we could see on the outside..”
It was a contradiction.
Downfall due to economic sanctions, downfall due to war.
It was no different..
Whether starving to death or being stabbed to death, both were included in human cruelty by Roman Dmitry's standards..
“Even before the catastrophe broke out, powerful countries controlled the world with ‘invisible cruelty.’ Weak countries had no choice but to cower at every word from powerful countries. Wars don't actually break out because of people's gaze, but invisible cruelty will take that much away. By the way. The world has changed since the apocalypse. As we became accustomed to blood and death, the world became one where verbal threats were no longer necessary and war would occur if truly necessary. Now, this moment we live in. This means that visible power is important..”
It was a change in perception.
Many obstacles still remain.
20A year is neither a short nor an extremely long time, so for those who remember the world 20 years ago, many conditions were added to reach the conclusion that it was war..
The difference is that war may occur at a much higher probability than in the past..
It is not a weapon like a nuclear bomb that completely destroys a country, but a human resource called Hunter that ends the war to determine right from wrong..
It may not seem like a big deal, but it was a big difference..
By simply raising our voices, modern society 20 years later has changed into a world where war must be accepted..
Roman Dmitry laughed..
“You asked if I would turn the whole world into an enemy. Yes, that's right. If I were to conclude here that I was wrong, there would be no reason for me, a powerful person in a world of meat and meat, to listen to the weak government of the world. President Patrice. Just verbal threats don't work. The words spoken against me and the Korean Empire require the readiness to actually wage war, not an invisible threat..”
The atmosphere was frozen..
War.
It was a sensitive issue.
No, it was a problem that should not be brought up here..
Roman Dmitry smiled and did not back down at all, even though it was common sense to avoid war against the world government at all costs..
“Let me ask you one last question. Whatever conclusion you come to here, do you think I should accept it??”
* * *
Kwaang!
“This arrogant bastard has gone too far.!”
Markov got up from his seat..
His red-hot face expressed his anger like an active volcano towards Roman Dmitry..
“Roman Dmitry. I admit that you are strong. With your track record of killing SS-rank monsters with a single blow, you can definitely say that you are the best in the world. But the people here are heads of countries around the world. Just because you're strong, do you think you can handle all of us?.”
Markov has no justification for Maronism..
It wasn't that others encouraged him, but he just didn't like Roman Dmitry..
Aren't you cocky?.
No matter how strong Roman Dmitry is, Korea has not yet escaped the perception that it is a weak country..
It was not enough to please them in order to avoid turning the absolute majority into enemies, and Roman Dmitry's sassy attitude really aroused Markov's feelings..
It had to be trampled properly before it grew any bigger..
Markov's eyes shined with murderous intent..
“everyone. Roman Dmitry and South Korea must pay for their sins. Take a look. Even though the governments of the world have come together, this arrogant being who calls himself emperor is instead threatening us. What do you think will happen if such a being becomes powerful? The world order we have managed to create will collapse. Please give us your strength. I will take the lead in helping Russia condemn Roman Dmitry..”
Opponent overlooked.
You would have thought that if you made a threat, the world government would back down..
Markov did not follow through as intended..
I will gladly throw myself into the flames of war to break Roman Dmitry's arrogance..
“Roman Dmitry! From now on you will go to war with everyone here…….”
“for a moment.”
It was Wang Wei-ryong..
He interrupted Markov and raised his voice with a fierce look on his face..
“When did I say I would side with the world government? As I said before, that King Yuryong swore allegiance to His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. If you want to antagonize the Korean Empire, you will have to deal with China as well..”
That wasn't all.
John Harrison also added:.
“The United States has no choice but to side with the Korean Empire. Didn't we get help in this catastrophe??”
Support from the two great powers.
Things got complicated.
Even though Roman Dmitry clearly crossed the line, China and the United States did not give up their link with the Korean Empire. It was a natural thing for Wang Wei-ryong..
You cannot dare to betray the Heavenly Demon. From the moment it defended Roman Dmitry, the United States knew that a clear statement of position was needed rather than an ambiguous stance..
It was an absurd situation..
Markov was furious to the end..
At the moment when the previous order collapsed, he saw Patrice..
It was a request to take sides..
Russia was willing to go ahead with the war if Patrice and the rest of the countries added their strength..
however.
“…….”
Patrice was silent..
He seemed to be thinking about something with a complicated expression..
If this happens.
there was no other way.
With no one on his side, Markov kicked the chair nervously..
Pak!
“Such idiotic bastards. We'll see. Because you will definitely regret what happened today.”
Markov leaving the conference room.
Roman Dmitry let him get out..
* * *
Why was Patrice silent?.
It was a complicated problem.
‘Immediately after the apocalypse, the future of humanity is at risk if the entire world is caught up in a whirlpool of war..’
Reasons for following Maronism.
For the future of humanity.
He also committed many evil deeds, such as inciting people like this incident, but ultimately, his purpose of serving humanity did not change..
To him, war was a problem he could not readily accept..
The fact that the leaders of each country were recruited to push Roman Dmitry was in fact just a verbal threat, and I thought that if they pushed it to this level, Roman Dmitry would raise a white flag and step down..
Of course, I was prepared for war at first, but when I thought that we might actually start a war, I started to hesitate..
so that.
Roman Dmitry's remarks took my breath away..
The fact that verbal threats did not work meant that Patrice's true nature was understood in that short period of time..
Patrice was a herbivore.
He looked at Roman Dmitry with shaking eyes..
“……I warn you in advance, President Markov of Russia is different from me. Seeing him so angry makes him a person who might actually go to war. Is there really a reason to do this? The punishment would be at a level that Korea can handle, but is there a reason it has to be like this?.”
I didn't understand.
Just one step.
All you have to do is take a step back..
Then we can create a result that everyone is satisfied with, but Roman Dmitry never compromised..
Roman Dmitry said.
“The premise itself is wrong. I have the power, and there is no reason for me to suffer any losses no matter what I choose in this fight. That's it. President Patrice says there is a way for everyone to win, but I don't even want to set a precedent for taking a step back. Even if this turns into war.”
Squeak.
got up from my seat.
Roman Dmitry didn't even make an effort to persuade people..
“You don't need to try so hard. Whether there is a war or not. A conclusion will be reached soon.”
Roman Dmitry takes a step back.
When he went outside, Wang Wei-ryong also left as if he had nothing more to do..
* * *
Where Roman Dmitry left.
“Please make a wise choice..”
John Harrison also got up quickly..
Now that only Patrice and those who sympathized with him were left, the conference room fell into deep silence for a while..
OK.
the Brazilian president asked.
“……What do you plan to do in the future??”
The person who brought everyone together was Patrice..
Not everyone would follow him unconditionally, but at least he could provide direction to this confusing situation..
The problem was that even Patrice didn't know what to do..
Roman Dmitry was completely uncontrolled, and there was no other way than war to achieve the goals of the Maronites..
“I'm going to cool off for a moment..”
got up from my seat.
Since I was moving to a place where people couldn't see, I immediately requested communication from the Maronite religious leader..
The leader's wisdom was needed.
Sebastian will tell you what to do for him in this breathtaking situation..
[go to war.]
“Is there really no other way than war??”
[Didn’t you check it yourself? Roman Dmitry is such a warlike figure that no similar example can be found. When he descends into this world, Roman Dmitry's presence will definitely cause irreparable problems. Patrice. Now is a golden opportunity. I don't know how Roman Dmitry cooked China and the United States, but if he has the ability to appease both powerful countries from the early stages of forming his power, it is hard to know how much he will expand his power in the future. Of course I know what you're worried about. If the entire world were caught up in a vortex of war as soon as the catastrophe was over, many people would die. However, for the ultimate goal of human survival, inevitable sacrifices must be made..]
“still…….”
[Patrice! Don't be weak! We face not a problem of saving more people, but a problem of deciding whether humanity as a whole will survive or not. There is nothing more important to us as we face Advent soon..]
It was the right thing to say.
Patrice’s expression turned bitter..
At first there was hesitation.
But after listening to Sebastian, the picture of him and Roman Dmitry coexisting did not come to mind at all..
“All right. I will make decisions for Him..”
Tuk.
communication was cut off.
Hesitation is gone.
I returned to my seat and was about to express my thoughts, but for a short period of time, the conference room was turned upside down..
president of brazil.
He said with an urgent look on his face..
“A little while ago, Russia declared war and attacked South Korea. It seems that before President Markov attended the international conference, he had already made all preparations to attack South Korea..”
“……?!”
I widened my eyes..
Conflict between Russia and South Korea!
The situation is already out of Patrice's control..
