The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: William (2)

As he stepped out of the portal with high expectations.

‘I arrived properly.’

The outer wall of the Demon Empire came into view.

‘Shall I go inside?’

As he emerged from the bushes and entered the Demon Empire.

‘It’s still the same.’

He could see that it was exactly the same as it was before he left.

‘But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t changed.’

However, if there was one thing that had changed.

‘That statue wasn’t finished when I left.’

It was that a statue modeled after Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members was completed and placed in the center of the city.

‘They did a pretty good job.’

When he looked closer, it was sculpted to resemble the real thing.

‘Unfortunately, they couldn’t capture Venus’s beauty.’

If there was one thing he regretted, it was that the statue couldn’t capture even one-tenth of Venus’s beauty.

‘But it’s well maintained.’

Seeing that there wasn’t a speck of dust on the statue, he could tell that it was being meticulously maintained.

‘Now that I’m done looking at the statue, shall we go straight to the Imperial Palace?’

At that moment, as Jung Minwoo was walking towards the Imperial Palace.

‘…Hmm?’

He could feel a strange sense of incongruity in the city.

‘This feeling…’

The same sense of incongruity he felt in the former Pacon Empire.

Turning his head, he looked at the higher beings.

‘As expected.’

He could see that their faces were devoid of life.

‘It seems they’re going through the same thing as in the Pacon Empire.’

T h i s w a s co p i e d f ro m k i n gm t l . o r g
Having already experienced it, he knew why the higher beings had lifeless faces.

It was boredom.

Peace had arrived and prosperity had followed, but they had lost their purpose and were feeling extremely bored.

‘The solution to this problem is quite simple.’

If they invaded a new planet, everything would be solved.

‘I have a reason to talk to William now.’

He had been wondering how to bring up the topic of planetary invasion, but if he presented it as a justification, he thought he could persuade him.

‘The best thing would be if William was also bored…’

However, William was such a kind-hearted child for a Demon Servant that it seemed unlikely he would be bored.

‘On the contrary, he might be enjoying his days, having achieved the goal he wanted.’

How kind-hearted must he be to have expressed his desire to care for children in the same situation after becoming a Demon Servant?

‘If he doesn’t want to participate in the invasion, I’ll have to change my approach and bring in other higher beings.’

He could order them to invade a planet by force, but.

If they were forced to move, the efficiency itself would decrease, so it wouldn’t be a very good method.

‘That would only create unnecessary resistance.’

Also, it might sound ridiculous, but Jung Minwoo didn’t want William to be unhappy because of his orders.

‘Of course, if William wants to invade, I’d welcome it with open arms.’

Since he was a child with the talent of ‘Genius,’ if he agreed to participate in the invasion, he would surely show tremendous activity.

‘Anyway, shall we go to the Imperial Palace quickly?’

After taking his eyes off the higher beings, Jung Minwoo moved towards the Imperial Palace again.

The throne room of the Demon Empire.

A figure was sitting on the throne, lost in thought.

‘…I’m bored.’

That figure was none other than ‘William,’ who was known to have ascended to the throne after receiving the love of the Demon Lord.

Whether he had achieved explosive growth during the six and a half years, William’s appearance had changed 180 degrees.

First, his height had grown to over 185cm.

He hadn’t neglected his training, as he had broad shoulders and his whole body was filled with muscles.

Also, as the baby fat on his face disappeared, his appearance fully blossomed.

‘…The days when we were waging war were good.’

However, it wasn’t just his appearance that had changed; his characteristic bright atmosphere had disappeared and been replaced by boredom.

‘I thought happy days would continue if I achieved what I wanted…’

For the first three years, William also enjoyed happy days.

However, as he repeated the same daily routine, he began to get tired of it at some point.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g mtl . o r g

T h i s was cop i e d fr o m k i ng mt l .o rg
When he entered his fourth year, he focused on training and tried to find various things to do, but the emptiness only grew.

‘And then I realized.’

As a result of thinking about why he felt this emptiness, William was able to find the reason.

Th i s wa s c o pi e d f r om k in g m tl. o r g
‘I wanted to fight a strong opponent.’

A battle with a strong opponent.

He wanted to feel that thrill again through a fight with a strong person.

‘Unfortunately, there is no one in this world who can match me.’

He looked for strong opponents, but they all fell down in one blow, failing to satisfy him.
T h i s w as c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g

In the end, he got tired of everything and spent all his time on the throne except for occasional training.

‘Only the Demon Lord can relieve this boredom.’

William realized that only the Demon Lord could relieve his boredom, and he was waiting endlessly on the throne.

‘I hope he comes soon.’

So William closed his eyes and fell asleep on the throne.

At the time William was closing his eyes and falling asleep.

‘William… you’ve fallen splendidly!’

Jung Minwoo was watching William from inside the throne room.

At first, he was puzzled by the boredom on his face, but.

‘You too are going through the same process as Elvis.’

When he read his thoughts through ‘Mind’s Eye,’ he could understand William’s situation.

‘I guess it must have been hard to stay still after gaining such strong power.’

It was rather natural for a higher being to want to use their power once they obtained it, so peace would feel burdensome.

‘By the way, the situation is going better than I thought.’

Contrary to Jung Minwoo’s worries, it turned out to be just a groundless fear.

‘Then there’s no need to persuade him separately.’

Seeing his current state, it seemed like he would answer yes as soon as he brought up the subject of planetary invasion.

‘So the problem of planetary invasion is solved, so shall we see how strong William has become?’

Jung Minwoo used ‘Demon Eye’ to check what William had achieved in the past six and a half years.

And when he saw the total amount of demonic energy.

‘…This is no joke, is it?’

He could see that William had achieved considerable growth.

‘…The total amount has increased by tens, no, hundreds of times compared to back then?’

It was not for nothing that he had the talent of ‘Genius’; William’s achievements were remarkable.

‘At this level… it’s about the same as Elvis before he received demonic energy?’

Considering that the quality of demonic energy was somewhat low at that time due to his low rank, it was clear that William’s growth was absurd.

‘It’ll be crazy if he jumps one more rank.’

Jung Minwoo believed without a doubt that if William jumped one more rank, he would become the most powerful being among his subordinates.

‘William, you don’t betray my expectations.’

Jung Minwoo smiled with satisfaction for a moment.

‘Shall I check the information as well?’

He decided to check William’s information at this opportunity.

Then, when he used ‘Heaven’s Eye’.

【Loading information of ‘None’】

William’s information window appeared.

『Information Window』

‘He seems to be desperately looking for me, so shall I reveal myself?’

He decided to reveal himself to William.

Just as he was about to reveal himself.

Bang―

Five figures entered the throne room.

‘…Hmm?’

Jung Minwoo tilted his head at the familiar faces, then.

‘…Ah!’

He belatedly realized that they were the children he had corrupted along with William.

‘They’ve grown unrecognizably too.’

Seeing them grown up so well brought a smile to his face.

Sebastian, Whitney, Aaron, Oliver, Bianca.

As he looked at the children’s faces, their names automatically came to mind.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i ng m t l .o rg

Th i s wa s c o p ie d f r o m k i n g mt l. o r g
‘They look quite charismatic now.’

Sebastian, who had contracted with him, had completely lost his former naive appearance and had grown into an intellectual man.

‘Whitney looks quite strong.’

Whitney, who had contracted with Anubis, had grown into a healthy and strong woman.

‘Aaron has grown tremendously compared to the past.’

Aaron, who had contracted with Rok, had transformed from his former frail body into a muscular one.

‘Oliver is a carbon copy of his old self.’

And Oliver, who had contracted with Elin, was still frail-looking despite his height.

‘Bianca’s appearance has completely blossomed.’

Finally, Bianca, who had contracted with Venus, had grown into a doll-like beauty.

‘Let’s see how strong these kids have become.’

He decided to check them out as well, and when he used ‘Demon Eye’ to see the total amount of demonic energy.

‘Oh, they’re not as strong as William, but they’ve become quite strong, haven’t they?’

They couldn’t compare to William, but he could see that their total amount of demonic energy had increased dozens of times compared to back then.

‘Compared to the subordinates under Elvis, these kids are probably a bit stronger?’

It was an achievement he couldn’t believe they had made in just six and a half years.

‘Really, monsters are gathered here.’

Th i s w a s co p i e d f rom k i n g m t l . or g
Jung Minwoo was excited to see what they would do if they participated in the invasion.

Just as he was admiring them.

“…Oppa, how long are you going to sit on the throne?”

Bianca spoke to William with a worried look on her face.

“Are you going to keep sitting there?”

At the following question, William closed his eyes and asked.

“Then what should I do instead of sitting?”

“…”

When Bianca couldn’t find a proper answer and just pouted.

“I know it’s frustrating. But you know there’s no other way than to wait for the Demon Lord, right?”

William said with a wry smile.

“…How long do we have to wait?”

“He’ll appear when the time is right.”

“What if he abandoned us…?”

When Bianca expressed her anxiety with a nervous look.

“No, that will never happen. Don’t even say that.”

William shook his head, denying Bianca’s words.

“It’s only been six and a half years, how disappointed would the Demon Lord be if he saw you like this?”

“…Sorry, I wasn’t thinking straight.”

“The Demon Lord is a transcendental being, so his concept of time might be different from ours. So don’t be impatient and try to wait patiently.”

William was trying to comfort the children who were depressed, but.

【Really… he didn’t abandon us, did he?】

He was actually feeling the greatest anxiety inwardly.

‘They’re all mentally at their limit.’

Jung Minwoo, who was listening to the conversation from the side, could feel that the children’s minds were not sound.

He thought it would be okay because it was a short period of time, but they were in a very dangerous situation.

‘Should I say this is good timing?’

Jung Minwoo considered it fortunate that he had come before their condition worsened.

‘Shall I finally reveal myself?’

Th i s wa s c o pi e d fr om k in g m t l . or g
He had no hobby of watching them tremble in anxiety, so Jung Minwoo decided to reveal himself to the children.
