The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 287
Chapter 287: Junggye (1)
As I entered the Demon Lord’s Castle with the Seven Demon Generals,
T h i s w a s c o p ie d from k ingm t l . org
“Welcome, Great Master.”
Head Butler greeted me and then asked,
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n gm tl . o r g
“May I ask who these individuals are behind you?”
He inquired about the Seven Demon Generals’ identities with a puzzled expression.
“They are the higher beings I corrupted.”
“……Higher beings, you say?”
Th i s w as c o p ie d f ro m k i n g m tl.or g
“They have become immortals now.”
“You mean they have cast off the shackles of mortality?”
Head Butler, who rarely asked questions, asked with a bewildered expression.
“I didn’t think it was possible, but it turned out it was.”
Jung Minwoo added, explaining that a new entity called ‘Jung Sinhawal’ had been born.
T hi s w as co pi e d f r o m k ing m t l.o r g
“This is unbelievable…… Following your ascension to godhood, you have now created a new entity……! Congratulations!”
Head Butler offered his congratulations, as delighted as if it were his own achievement.
“Thank you. I will inform my subordinates about this matter separately, so please keep it confidential.”
“Yes, I will keep it confidential.”
“Then, can you prepare some food? To commemorate the birth of this new entity, I want them to taste the food of the Demon World.”
“As you command.”
At Jung Minwoo’s order, Head Butler excused himself, saying he would prepare it right away.
“Let’s head to the dining hall.”
As I moved to the dining hall with the Seven Demon Generals,
“Wow…… This is the Demon Lord’s Castle where Jungshin-nim resides……”
“……Everything feels so fascinating.”
“The individuals walking around here are all stronger than me.”
“This is amazing. I must tell my children about what happened today when I return.”
“S, so many strong individuals……”
“Hoo, is this the world of immortals……?”
“Hol hol hol! To think I would step foot on the land of the Demon World. It feels like a dream!”
They were all gaping, completely engrossed in observing their surroundings as we moved.
Arriving at the dining hall,
“Everyone, have a seat.”
The Seven Demon Generals sat down on the chairs with bewildered faces.
As we waited, it wasn’t long before dishes began to appear one after another.
Then, the meal began.
The Seven Demon Generals, tasting the food of the Demon World for the first time, couldn’t help but express their amazement at how delicious it was.
They devoured the food in an instant.
Enjoying coffee for dessert, we engaged in lively conversation.
“Jungshin-nim, I have a question I’d like to ask. May I?”
During the conversation, Elvis spoke up, cautiously gauging the atmosphere.
“Ask away.”
“I’d like to know about your future plans.”
“Future plans, huh……”
T h i s w a s c op ie d fr o m ki n gm t l . or g
Until I met the Seven Demon Generals, there were no concrete future plans.
It was just about appointing ‘Junga’ every 10,000 years and wielding power, nothing more.
However, with the birth of this new entity, my thinking changed.
Now that I could change races to ‘Jung Sinhawal,’ I planned to establish a new power base.
“First, we need to choose a planet for the Jung Sinhawal to inhabit.”
T hi s wa s c o p i e d f ro m k i ng m t l. o r g
“Understood.”
Elvis nodded, his eyes sparkling.
“Once we’ve chosen the planet, we will build structures there and gradually build up our forces.”
“Build up, you say?”
“Yes.”
Since others now knew that they could also be appointed as ‘Jung Sinhawal,’ I intended to bring my subordinates from the Demon World as well.
Increasing our numbers in this way, we would build up our forces.
‘And, I need to provide personal guidance as well.’
Even if we were outnumbered by the Celestial Realm and the Demon World, we had to be superior in terms of military strength.
‘That way, they won’t underestimate us and won’t cross the line.’
For this reason, I planned to raise their level through personal guidance.
‘Even if I just bring my current subordinates, we wouldn’t be significantly outmatched in military strength, but that wouldn’t be enough.’
What I aimed for was overwhelming dominance, so being on equal footing wouldn’t satisfy me.
‘If I could just win over my father-in-law, I think I could even achieve overwhelming dominance……’
Although it seemed unlikely he would come over, I decided to make him an offer later, figuring there was no harm in trying.
‘I can’t rule out the possibility of Cheonsin and Masin scheming to build up their forces out of fear.’
Even though we were currently bound by a pact, there was no telling when they might stab us in the back.
As our forces grew and our power expanded, they would surely feel threatened.
‘If they were to break the pact and attack, Cheonsin would be more likely to do so.’
As the saying goes, “You can tell a person’s character by one action.” Judging from his scheming with Baal, I had a pretty good idea of what he was like.
As I was lost in thought,
“Um…… Jungshin-nim, may I also ask a question?”
William spoke up, saying he also had something to ask.
“Go ahead.”
“Can the higher beings on Liger be brought to the new planet too?”
“That’s impossible.”
T h i s w as c op ie d f r om ki n g mt l. o r g
“Impossible……?”
“To raise a planet’s Rank, it needs to be devoid of higher beings.”
Furthermore, once a planet’s Rank increased, higher beings of lower Rank couldn’t even visit.
One might argue that there are mortal monsters in the Demon World, but monsters are considered mutations caused by demonic energy, making it an exception that they could exist on higher-Ranked planets.
“Ah……”
William’s expression darkened slightly upon hearing the explanation.
‘It’s because of his family.’
Just by looking at his expression, I could tell it was because he couldn’t be with his family.
T h i s was c o p i e d f rom k i n g m t l. o rg
“Even if you can’t bring them, you can still visit, so you don’t have to worry.”
At my words, which seemed to read his thoughts,
“……Was my intention that obvious?”
“Very.”
“Haha……”
William chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head.
“Still, I’m relieved to know I can visit my family.”
“And if that’s not enough, you can visit them from time to time and train them to help them shed their mortal shackles.”
“I understand!”
William showed his determination, vowing to help them break free from their mortal constraints.
‘His level isn’t bad, so they should be able to shed their mortal shackles.’
Although his family’s level was far below William’s, with 10,000 years of diligent effort, they should be able to become immortals.
One might think that 10,000 years is too long, but
‘Most higher beings can’t shed their shackles even after a million years of training.’
Considering that those without talent could never become immortals even after a lifetime of training, 10,000 years could be considered an incredibly short period.
“I will do my best to guide them so they can shed their shackles.”
“I need to put my subordinates through rigorous training.”
“To think my child will become immortal…… Just the thought makes me happy.”
“T, training……”
“Hmm…… I have a subordinate with exceptional skills. I should seriously consider training them.”
The other members of the Seven Demon Generals also showed their determination, as if they also had subordinates they wanted to bring.
‘It’s good to see everyone so motivated.’
An increase in immortals meant an increase in power, which was a favorable situation for me.
‘I wonder how many will become immortals in 10,000 years.’
The subordinates of the Seven Demon Generals were quite talented, so I expected a considerable number of them to achieve immortality.
‘Well, shall we wrap things up now?’
Although I wanted to continue chatting with them,
‘I have a lot to do.’
There was so much to do that I needed to start preparing right away.
“We’ve finished our coffee, so let’s get going.”
At my words, the Seven Demon Generals nodded, their faces filled with reluctance.
“I’ll escort you to the Portal Station.”
Afterward, I escorted the Seven Demon Generals to the Portal Station and then headed to the Demon Lord’s Office.
Upon entering the Demon Lord’s Office, Jung Minwoo immediately summoned Head Butler.
Head Butler entered the Demon Lord’s Office after being summoned.
“You called, Great Master?”
He asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
‘He’s unusually excited.’
It seemed he was happy that I could form my own faction, in addition to becoming a god.
‘He was also overjoyed when the children were born, as if it were his own family.’
His genuine loyalty was admirable.
‘I should give him a high-ranking position soon.’
He wouldn’t be outmatched even when compared to other Demon Lords, so I wouldn’t hear any complaints if I gave him a prominent role.
“Gather all subordinates in the training ground in one hour.”
“As you command.”
“This is an important matter, so make sure everyone is present without exception.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“On your way out, please call my wives and children, along with Rok, Anubis, Roa, Aold. Ah, and Dantalion and Buer as well.”
T h i s w a s co p ie d f r o m k in gm t l . o r g
“As you command.”
Thus, Head Butler left. Ten minutes later,
Creak―
All those I had requested were present, entering the Demon Lord’s Office.
“Welcome, everyone.”
I offered them seats.
“You are all aware that I have become a god, so I’ll get straight to the point.”
I explained that I had created a new entity and that we would be establishing a new faction.
Furthermore, I asked if they were willing to change their races to ‘Jung Sinhawal.’
‘It’ll be troublesome if they refuse.’
I was worried they might decline, but thankfully, everyone expressed their willingness to change their races.
My family, being my wives and children, naturally agreed.
The others responded that it was only natural to follow the one they served.
“Thank you.”
Jung Minwoo bowed his head, expressing his gratitude to those who agreed without hesitation.
“Then, I will change your races to ‘Jung Sinhawal’ right away.”
Extending his hand, he bestowed his power.
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f rom ki n g m t l .o r g
Fwooosh―
Everyone in the office was enveloped in a gray light.
About five minutes passed, and as the gray light subsided,
【Your race has been changed to ‘Jung Sinhawal’】
【Your demonic energy has been converted to Junggi】
【As the number of Jung Sinhawal exceeds 10, you have acquired the unique trait ‘Restriction’】
Message windows appeared before my eyes one after another.
‘I’ve acquired Restriction?’
I checked the newly acquired unique trait.
【Restriction】
― Within Jungshin’s domain, you can restrict the power of races with different stats.
― The level of restriction depends on the power Jungshin exerts within the domain.
‘This is insane……’
An overpowered effect.
‘This applies to the planets I’ve conquered too, right?’
Once I completely established my rule, even if Masin and Cheonsin joined forces against me, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
‘Not just Cheonsin and Masin, but even if all the immortals in the universe attacked me, they wouldn’t be able to defeat me.’
I had been worried about Cheonsin and Masin scheming, but with this overpowered unique trait, my concerns completely vanished.
‘Now, there’s no need to worry about them.’
If they attacked, I would crush them.
‘To maintain balance, I wouldn’t kill them, but I would make them pay a price.’
If I showed them my strength, they would back down.
‘Still, they wouldn’t act rashly just to get their subordinate appointed as Junga.’
Complacency was dangerous, so I needed to be prepared.
When I informed them of this,
“Now, no one would dare touch Minwoo-nim.”
“……Amazing.”
“Huhu, this is incredible.”
“Restriction, what an incredible unique trait.”
“We don’t have to worry about attacks from other gods anymore.”
“The power to overwhelm even gods…… It’s awesome!”
.
.
.
They couldn’t hide their astonishment, their faces filled with wonder.
They were so surprised that their jaws dropped for a while.
As everyone was stunned,
Creak―
“Great Master? All the demons are standing by in the training ground.”
Head Butler reported that all the demons had been assembled as instructed.
“Really? Then, let’s go.”
Jung Minwoo stood up and headed straight for the training ground.
