Chapter 166

166President Hua Zhao's nightmare

Years after the cataclysm, when the first survivors were discovered, the Earth was in turmoil for a while..

Survivors of the other world beyond the gate. The emergence of that being is a unique point in human history. Humanity learned new world technologies from them and realized that they were mutually beneficial..

However, as survivors continued to pass through the gate, their scarcity value decreased and difficulties arose in their treatment..

Survivors from high-ranking positions, such as former nobles and generals, wanted to receive similar treatment on Earth..

However, in a democratic society, nobles and royals are only honorary positions, and they cannot be given the right to tax, land, or pardon..

but.

"Leon Dragonia Lionheart, Your Majesty! Her Majesty Queen Beatrice Alighieri Spero enters.!"

If they are something beyond an S-class hunter, then the country has no choice but to worry about their treatment..

Taiwan's Presidential Residence. There was a grand welcoming ceremony by soldiers and employees who were always on standby..

There were surprisingly few reporters compared to the size of the event, and this was because Leon could not see the reporters making a fuss..

[Why are you just saying what you have to say before the king’s presence? I won't be able to go away!]

First of all, Leon hated the rudeness of the reporters who started with cameras and microphones, and the Lionheart King's anger sent low waves and sent the reporters to their sick beds, so they had no choice but to avoid them..

Thanks to this, it became the national rule to ask carefully selected questions and send only a small number of carefully selected reporters when covering Leon..

It was a rare situation where the mass media gave in to a single individual, but those who witnessed the decline of senior reporters believed that the Lion-Hearted King had the power to curse people..

In any case, the Korean government has created exemplary guidelines for the country's attitude toward the king of this other world..

Basically, we need to show more respect than that given to the monarchs of modern monarchies, such as the British royal family, as state guests, and it is convenient to just grant some demands..

Didn't Japan right now pay extreme attention to the abuse of President Ahn and the Hunter Association, just like they did to Tenno?.

President Zhao was also fully aware of this..

'This is... no different from the king of an absolute monarchy..'

After China collapsed, President Zhao, who dispatched diplomats without hesitation and prepared for visits by presidents and royal families from various countries every year, has never prepared to treat a state guest so meticulously..

'I have my Jjambap. somehow do it!'

Even the Pope has been treated well. President Zhao is desperately trying to get over this major incident naturally..

"Haha, Your Majesty. How about it? Our official residence? It is currently not in use and is operated as a museum.."

"Hmm, it was built a hundred years ago.?"

"Yes, after the Chinese Civil War, President Chiang Kai-shek, who made his fortune on this island, built a new official residence and opened it to the public.."

President Zhao creates a friendly atmosphere with a full VIP course for state guests when they visit Taiwan for the first time..

And Leon's expression relaxed as if he liked President Zhao's treatment..

'good! Green light! Don't you want me to go back to Korea like this?!'

Above all, he had a reason to cherish Leon very much.──

'If this guy gets angry and goes on a rampage, I will definitely die.'

He is a follower of the devil.

To be precise, President Zhao is not a follower of the devil..

Like any other nobleman, President Zhao also pursued excessive pleasure in his own way, and in the process, he encountered the devil of pleasure and corruption..

'Damn you Sui! I only went in because I was persuaded by an awesome new person coming in.!'

When a powerful executive of the council entered with the promise of introducing him to a good woman, the Grand Duke of Tarak encountered him, causing him to lose all will to resist..

[If you listen to me carefully, I will give you immortal life when the Earth is ours..]

President Zhao was a devout Christian. He wasn't particularly interested in immortality because he planned to go to heaven when he died, but he knew that if he refused on the spot, he would die..

The power of the Demon Grand Duke is so fearsome and powerful that nothing like Earth can oppose it. Just one of these supply demons would cause catastrophic damage to the Earth..

Then shouldn't we be on the winner's side??

President Zhao chose to survive, and he now regrets that choice horribly..

If someone asks him why he collaborated with the devil, he will answer:.

'Because I didn’t know! Because I didn't know that a survivor from another world would come who could defeat even the Demon Archduke! If you had known, would you have done that?!'

Quay told them to buy time until the Double Ten Festival, but President Zhao wants to send Leon away right away..

"I'd like to know how your meals were okay! Hehehe!"

It was a time when I was about to finish the dinner and move on to the next schedule, not knowing if the food was going down my throat or up my nostrils..

"Surprisingly."

"yes? What are you saying??"

"These days, I've had a lot of meetings with people representing the government. They treated Jim with courtesy and respect, but in the end, there was a black inside.."

"yes? uh, what is that······."

Did you realize that I'm a follower of the devil?!

It can't be! I don't want to become a devil, so I've been avoiding demonizing blessings and other things as much as possible.!

"These days, sin is the same. Just by looking at the luggage, they start begging to sell things like special weapons and drones. Leaving behind faith, the source of that power.."

Leon complained, but it was natural..

The pantheon's star iron weapons, blessed crops, and high-tech equipment are strategic equipment that countries around the world are frantically trying to secure..

Other heads of state would use Leon's personal visit as an opportunity to make connections, but President Zhao just wants Leon to leave Taiwan as soon as possible..

"Ah, now that I think about it, I have a gift to give to my President.."

"Oh, it's an honor. your majesty."

Leon smiled and handed a box to the Fuhrer..

"This is?"

When I carefully opened the box, there was a necklace with an old design inside. He passed his 60th birthday last year and it is a design that is not burdensome to wear around his neck..

"It's a necklace made of star iron. Although it doesn't have much power, it has the power to preserve health and drive away evil things.."

"okay."

Something wrong? Will it even drive out the devil??

"You have received a precious gift, Your Majesty.."

"Go ahead and try it on.."

After receiving an item that could be used directly, President Zhao had to hang it up and create a good picture..

"It suits you well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty.."

When I actually wore the necklace, I felt refreshed and my body felt energized..

"Well, thank you for today. Let Jim and the Queen rest in their quarters for a while.."

"Ah, yes! It was an honor for your two Majesties to visit our republic.."

Is it finally over? Finally, I took a picture of myself making a close gesture with Leon and headed back..

It was the moment he boarded the limousine heading to his official residence..

"Thank you for your effort The Chief Secretary is also satisfied──Kii Iik?!

The driver was waiting in the limousine. Isn't it a low-level demon wearing human skin suddenly screaming??

"What, what??"

"Kkeut, kkeok! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr···!"

The devil disguised as a driver even scraped off the disguised skin and vomited blood foam. It is bubbling as if it has been exposed to highly concentrated radiation..

'Is it because of the necklace?!'

It was easy to find the cause. Because the necklace hanging around my neck was emitting a colorful light and striking the driver demon..

"I'm out, I'm out···!"

The moment the devil opened the door and was about to go out, President Zhao sensed that he was screwed and caught him..

"Oh no, dude! There were reporters outside, but when I went out,···!"

President Zhao unknowingly caught the hand of the devil driver..

Aside from the fact that his political career would be over, he tried to dissuade the devil by remembering what kind of disaster the Lion-hearted King would cause if he were the devil..

"Ah, no...! Let it go, let it go···!"

And strangely enough, the devil could not escape from my old grasp and began to tremble and slowly disappear into ash..

"······."

President Zhao was speechless as he watched this scene, his eyes filled with fear. The only people in the limousine were the driver, the devil, who had been reduced to ashes, and himself..

"Chaonima······."

President Zhao shook off the ashes and moved into the driver's seat..

I think I'm going to have a nightmare today.

* * * *

"Pour it! Drink it!"

"Wow~! Oppa, mussit!"

Drinking alcohol with a woman younger than your daughter may not be too much of a denial for politicians..

"Hahaha! How do you feel, Mr. Fuhrer? Isn’t the water good today??"

Suiran, the director of the administrative center, is laughing and rubbing his fat butt..

A friend who hung out occasionally because we had similar hobbies..

Today too, I came to meet the idol trainee he introduced me to..

"Director Suiran! When will the idol trainee you are introducing come out??"

"Ugh...you're in a hurry. I already left it waiting outside.!"

Perfect! At that gesture, her door opened and a wide-eyed beauty came in..

Hair that looks like melted silver and hanging down like thread, and eyes that sparkle like a large amethyst. The bewitching smile made the old heart pound.

"Oh wow, that's really beautiful. You Suiran...! You did a great job.!"

A woman of such incredible beauty would want to become an idol trainee? Even if she just takes a selfie and posts it on social media, she will be considered the most beautiful woman of the year, so why??

The woman, who wanted to stretch out her hand right now, but whose aura spread out without daring to touch it, somehow sighed and mocked herself..

"Really. Whatever world you do, you do the same thing.."

Although it was a place for entertainment in a different world and an unfamiliar modern culture, Beatrice ultimately saw it as a symbol of pleasure that can be communicated in any world..

Alcohol, drugs, and sex are elements that stimulate the most basic human pleasure. In particular, Beatrice burned to death too many of the fallen who were struggling with handsome men and beautiful women..

"Desire must be controlled."

She couldn't help but be displeased with this excessive pleasure and the corruption that came from it..

I sold my family, my country, and the world because I couldn't control this primal desire..

But other than that, work is work. Beatrice had to extract the necessary information from this corruptor..

"Well then... let's get started?"

"Ugh, your voice is heavenly too.~"

Beatrice smiled brightly at Zhao, who was drooling and looking at her with dirty eyes..

"Rest assured, you will ‘never’ wake up until tomorrow morning. First... shall we start with the nails??"

It didn't take long for the sweet dream to turn into a nightmare..

* * * *

Quay, the Demon Prince of Pleasure and Corruption, was busy preparing for the 'banquet'..

The devil in the secretary's office approaches him and reports to him..

"The devil who served as the Fuhrer's driver has disappeared.."

Demons wearing human skin were assigned to key figures in this country, including President Zhao..

Leon's visit kept them as far away from the pantheon as possible, but······.

"Who did it to??"

"According to the President, the cause seems to be a necklace he received as a gift.."

"Like that······."

It's bizarre. Of course, it is true that demons are reluctant to use items imbued with holy power. However, no matter how low-level a demon is, it disappears in an instant just by having a star iron necklace in front of it.?

"Even in Lionheart, it wasn't that bad.."

There must be some other secret. As Quay remained calm, the secretary devil became somewhat impatient and spoke..

"Should I instruct him to remove the necklace??"

"No, it's already too late. Maybe they were up to something.."

"Well, that means······."

"They already know we're here. Rather, they may be waiting for us to take the first step.."

"······!"

The secretary demon trembled with fear. Quay glanced at that and sighed..

Who could make immortal demons so scary?.

The Magic Queen was quite a force, but the truly fearsome being was the Lionheart King..

A horror of evil that not even the immortality of demons, great magic, or overwhelming numbers could subdue..

It is impossible to overcome him with strength..

"Let’s speed up preparations for the banquet. Because I have to finish preparations by the New Year's Day.."

"Will that... work? Since the monarch has also passed away,······."

What Quay was preparing was a great power that had corrupted all beings..

No mortal could stand before that terrible citadel of corruption, symbolizing the lord of pleasure and corruption..

Dotradon, who could not have imagined that he would be defeated by just one person in the destroyed world of mortals, died without being able to use it in the end..

"Well, I'm not Dotradon, so I understand your anxiety.."

Moreover, the person preparing the banquet now is not the Demon Lord, but Grand Duke Quay..

Now that Beatrice, the new monarch of pleasure, has not been fabled, there is no one who can fully demonstrate its power..

"But. Even I can push just one person into the abyss.."

The Lionheart King made a mistake..

That was also a very fatal mistake.
