The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 288
Chapter 288: Junggye (2)
Arriving at the training ground,
‘It’s refreshing to see the demons lined up like this after a while.’
The demons were standing in perfect posture, their discipline evident.
The training ground was filled with such demons, a sight to behold.
As Jung Minwoo went up to the podium and took a closer look at the demons,
‘Their expressions are bright.’
He could see them wearing faint smiles.
Along with gazes filled with respect.
‘Seeing that their eyes hold even more respect than usual, it seems they all know that I’ve become a god.’
He hadn’t specifically informed his subordinates about becoming a god, but it seemed the rumor had spread and reached their ears.
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i n gm t l . o r g
‘I didn’t really try to control it anyway.’
There was no need to hide the fact that he had become a god, so it didn’t matter if his subordinates knew.
‘This makes it much easier to talk.’
Since he didn’t need to give further explanations, it seemed he could go straight to the main point without any preamble.
‘No, should I explain about Jung Sinhawal a little bit?’
It seemed necessary to at least briefly explain that they could change their race from demon to Jung Sinhawal.
‘Then, I’ll just finish explaining about Jung Sinhawal and get to the main point.’
Just as he was organizing his thoughts,
Thud, thud, thud—
Head Butler walked towards the podium.
Chuck, chuck―
And, with precise movements, he stopped and stood at attention.
“Salute to Jungsin-nim!”
He shouted in a booming voice.
“””Loyalty!”””
Then, the Head Butler and the demons behind him simultaneously saluted.
‘Greetings always feel good, no matter when you receive them.’
Jung Minwoo accepted the salute with a satisfied smile.
“I won’t explain it separately since you already know that I’ve become a god.”
At the direct mention of becoming a god,
Gulp—
The demons’ eyes sparkled even brighter.
“I called you all here because there’s a proposition I want to make. Before I do, let me explain one thing.”
Jung Minwoo gave the demons a brief explanation about ‘Jung Sinhawal’.
“Those of you with a keen eye will know why I gave this explanation. Yes, I called you here to change your race to ‘Jung Sinhawal’.”
He went straight to the point.
“As I said earlier, this is a proposition, so you can refuse if you don’t want to.”
At Jung Minwoo’s words, the demons began to stir.
They knew he had become a god, but they didn’t know he could change their race as well.
“If you become a Jung Sinhawal, you will retain your current strength and gain the unique trait ‘Intervention’.”
The demons showed interest at the mention of gaining a unique trait.
“However, if you become a ‘Jung Sinhawal’, you must move with me to a new home. In other words, you have to leave the Demon World.”
The demons’ expressions darkened slightly at the thought of leaving their homeland.
Having lived their entire lives in the Demon World, it was difficult for them to suddenly leave.
“For your information, I will make the same offer to the villagers, so those of you with families there need not worry.”
Hearing that the villagers would receive the same offer, some demons breathed a sigh of relief.
“Now, choose. Whether you will follow me or not. If you choose not to follow me, leave this place immediately.”
As he gave the order to choose,
“””I will follow you!!!”””
Half of the demons on the training ground shouted without hesitation that they would follow him.
“””……”””
The other half remained silent, their faces filled with contemplation.
“It seems there are those who haven’t made their decision yet. I’ll give you 5 minutes. Finish your contemplation within that time.”
T h is w a s c opi e d from k i n g mt l .o r g
Jung Minwoo turned his back and went down from the podium.
Seeing him disappear, the demons sank deeper into their thoughts.
If someone had seen this, they might have wondered why they even needed to think about it and just follow him, but……
Just as it’s hard for humans to leave the home they’ve lived in their whole life, it was the same for demons, so they couldn’t help but be cautious.
Moreover, they had to consider what benefits they would gain by following him.
Demons are beings who value practicality, so their loyalty was only possible if there was something in it for them.
Head Butler was an exception.
5 minutes passed.
Step, step, step—
Jung Minwoo reappeared and went up to the podium.
“You must have made your decisions, right? I’ll give you 1 minute, and those who choose not to follow me, leave the training ground immediately.”
Gulp—
“””……”””
At the order to leave if they weren’t going to follow him, the demons who had initially remained silent began to look at each other.
‘It must be a difficult decision.’
Seeing them, Jung Minwoo fully empathized with the feelings of the demons who couldn’t make a choice.
‘All I can do is give them the options.’
He desperately wanted to take them all with him, but he had no intention of forcing those who didn’t want to.
Bringing those who were unwilling would only hinder the efficiency of others and wouldn’t be helpful at all.
Before they knew it, 1 minute had passed.
Jung Minwoo lifted his head to see how many had left.
‘They’re all still here?’
He could see that no one had left.
‘I didn’t expect everyone to stay.’
He had expected about a third of them to leave, so it was a bit unexpected that no one had left.
In fact, contrary to Jung Minwoo’s thoughts, their decision to stay was, in a way, a natural choice.
After all,
It would be foolish to miss this opportunity.
As early members, they would enjoy many benefits, so who would want to miss out on that?
They would receive better treatment than they were currently receiving, not worse.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . org
‘This is good for me.’
There were many talented individuals among them, so he couldn’t help but be truly happy.
‘There are demons appointed as Proxies here as well.’
Jung Minwoo openly expressed his satisfaction and said,
“A wise choice. I will change you all into ‘Jung Sinhawal’ right away.”
And as he immediately bestowed his power,
T h i s w a s c o pi e d f r o m k in g m t l . or g
Fwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—
The entire training ground was enveloped in a gray light and began to emit a bright light.
As time passed and the gray light subsided,
T h i s w as c o p i e d f ro m k in gm t l. o r g
【Your race has been changed to ‘Jung Sinhawal’】
【Your possessed demonic energy has been converted to Junggi】
【You can now bestow ranks as the number of Jung Sinhawal exceeds 10,000】
Message windows popped up in front of him.
‘I can bestow ranks?’
Feeling curious, Jung Minwoo clicked on the message window to check the explanation.
【Ranks from 9th to 1st are the same as other races, and above that is the rank of ‘Jungwang’】
【The number of ‘Jungwang’ can be determined by the Jungshin. How many would you like to set?】
‘Setting…… 100?’
【’Jungwang’ has been set to a maximum of 100】
【Rank bestowment can be done directly or by delegating authority】
【Ranks above ‘Jungwang’ need to be set separately】
‘Delegating authority…… It seems to be a similar concept to the promotion exam venue.’
He wondered who he should appoint as ‘Jungwang’.
‘It would be good to reorganize the ranks this time.’
There would be less resistance if he reorganized the ranks rather than following the existing order.
‘I can do the rank reorganization after we move, right?’
Th is was c o p i e d fr o m k in g m t l . or g
He expected that the rank reorganization would be an opportunity for some and bring despair to others.
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f rom ki n gmt l . o rg
‘Anyway, it seems I can create ranks as well.’
He had wondered why there was a Demon Lord but no Great Demon Lord, and now he understood that it was because the Masin had set it up that way.
‘I’ll create them later.’
There was no need to set ranks right now, so he decided not to touch them for the time being.
After closing the message window,
“I sincerely congratulate you on being reborn as Jung Sinhawal.”
T hi s w a s c o p ied f r o m k i n g mtl . org
He congratulated them on their race change.
Afterward, Jung Minwoo made the same offer to the villagers and changed their race to ‘Jung Sinhawal’.
The next day.
Jung Minwoo was preoccupied with finding a planet.
One might ask, shouldn’t he hurry up and make the proposal to Satan?
However, Jung Minwoo planned to present his vision and make the proposal after constructing a building, so he decided to postpone visiting Satan for a while.
‘This isn’t it either, and neither is that……’
None of the planets satisfied him.
‘When one condition is met, another condition becomes unsatisfactory.’
Jung Minwoo had only two conditions.
A planet abundant in resources.
A planet larger than both the Celestial Realm and the Demon World.
Although these two conditions seemed simple, finding a planet that met the second condition proved difficult.
‘Finding it in a single day was too ambitious, wasn’t it?’
He wanted to find a planet quickly and raise his Rank, but the fact that things weren’t going his way frustrated him.
He had already examined over ten thousand planets.
‘Tsk, I guess I need to take my time and check them leisurely.’
Jung Minwoo decided to check just 100 more planets and continue his search the next day.
After examining 99 planets.
‘Is this the last one?’
The moment he examined the 100th planet.
‘……Found it.’
He was able to find the planet he had been longing for.
‘It’s rich in resources, and the size of the planet is also large……’
The size of the planet was comparable to the Celestial Realm and the Demon World combined.
‘Who lives on this planet?’
When he checked to see what kind of life forms inhabited the planet, he confirmed that there were no other life forms except monsters.
‘Monsters……’
Beings more difficult to clean up than Higher Beings.
Because of their high reproductive rate, they had to be eliminated all at once.
Due to the planet’s large size, eliminating them all at once was too much.
‘If I were a demon……’
Of course, now that he was a god, he could wipe them all out without much effort.
‘It’s a bit of a hassle to kill only the monsters without harming nature, but it’s not impossible.’
Jung Minwoo checked the planet’s coordinates and.
T h i s w as c o p ie d f r o m k ing m t l . or g
‘Strike while the iron is hot.’
He decided to move to the planet immediately.
Swoosh―
As he lightly waved his hand.
Woo―ung.
A gray portal appeared.
Normally, he would have to travel through the Portal Station, but after becoming a god, he was able to create portals on his own.
‘When I was a member of the Seven Demon Generals, I wasn’t used to creating portals, so I sent them through the Portal Station.’
Now that he had completely mastered the art of creating portals, he would no longer need to use the Portal Station.
‘Shall we go?’
Jung Minwoo stepped into the portal to invade the planet.
As he passed through the portal,
“Oh……”
A vast natural landscape unfolded before his eyes.
‘As expected of a place rich in resources, the trees are growing luxuriantly.’
Perhaps because civilization hadn’t developed, the trees were green and fresh.
‘What about the sea?’
As he walked towards a nearby sea,
‘Wow……’
He could see a clear, blue sea.
‘It’s a complete paradise.’
The temperature was just right, the climate wasn’t bad, it was literally a paradise on earth.
‘It was worth looking at over ten thousand planets.’
He stopped sightseeing and decided to look for a place to build.
‘A flat place would be good.’
Jung Minwoo flew up into the sky and searched for a plain.
His original plan was to flatten the land and build on it, but after seeing this beautiful nature, he felt it was a waste to destroy it, so he changed his plan.
After flying for about 2 hours,
‘Found it.’
He was able to find a flat piece of land with no undulations.
T h i s was c o p i e d f r o m k i n gm tl . o r g
The land was so large that even if all the Jung Sinhawal lived there, there would still be room to spare.
‘I’ll build my place here, and then other necessary buildings.’
He decided to build something dozens of times larger than the Demon Lord’s Castle he had lived in before.
After roughly finishing his plans,
‘Shall we start cleaning up?’
He decided to begin his invasion of the planet in earnest.
