The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 291
Chapter 291: Junggye (5)
To cut to the chase, all of Satan’s subordinates ended up changing their race to ‘Jung Sinhawal’.
‘I’m glad things worked out so well.’
At first, when Satan suggested they change their race to Jung Sinhawal, the demons showed bewilderment.
The main reason they were bewildered was probably the sudden proposal, but the fact that the Demon Lord they served appeared with a changed race must have played a part.
After a moment of contemplation, the demons seemed to have decided that it was beneficial to change their race to ‘Jung Sinhawal’ and accepted the proposal.
As a result, our forces have grown several times larger than expected.
Thanks to that, it seems like the planet’s Rank will rise within half a year.
That’s half the time we expected.
‘Very good.’

Now, even if everyone in the Celestial Realm and the Demon World attacked us, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
We had reached the pinnacle of power through recruitment alone.
‘Now, all that’s left is to relocate them.’
I wanted to take them to the planet right away, but……
‘I should give them time to get ready.’
They need time to prepare to leave their homeland, so I gave them a week.
‘Then, shall I return to my planet and rest?’
I had already moved my belongings to the planet, so there was no need to stay in the Demon World.
Just as I was about to return to the planet to rest……
Woo――ung.
A black mist suddenly began to flow out in the air, and……
Flash―
A giant eye appeared there.
Th i s w a s co p i e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o rg
“……Is it possible to talk?”
And a rather gloomy voice flowed from the giant eye.
‘Hearing your voice makes me feel a bit sorry……’
Our forces had weakened in an instant, so it was understandable that he would be gloomy.
“It is possible.”
When I replied that it was possible to talk……
Whoo――ung.
A new black portal appeared before me.
“Please come in……”
“Alright.”
Jung Minwoo stepped into the black portal, following Masin’s words.
As he passed through the black portal……
“……You came?”
Masin, with a dark expression, greeted him.
“First of all, I apologize for unintentionally taking away Masin-nim’s forces.”
As soon as Jung Minwoo saw Masin’s face, he bowed his head and apologized.
‘It would be unconscionable not to apologize.’
He had practically taken away all the talented individuals, so it was only natural to apologize.
“Sigh…… Didn’t you take too many?”
After receiving the apology, Masin let out a deep sigh and complained about the excessive loss, expressing his hardship.
“I’m sorry, things just turned out that way. It’s my fault, so I’ll protect you until Masin-nim’s forces recover.”
“……Protect?”
At the mention of protection, Masin’s eyes lit up as he asked again.
“Yes, I will block all external invasions.”
“You mean you’ll fight in my place if there’s an external invasion?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
If he protected Masin until his forces recovered, Masin could focus entirely on recovery without worrying about Cheonsin.
“Can I modify the terms a little?”
“How so?”
“How about protecting me until my forces have doubled in size?”
“Alright.”
Jung Minwoo nodded his head without hesitation in response to Masin’s words.
Come to think of it, even if Masin recovered his original forces, Cheonsin’s forces would have grown even larger by then, so that condition was a reasonable proposal.
One might worry that protecting him until his forces doubled would take a long time, but……
‘It wouldn’t be much different from the time it takes to recover his original forces.’
It could be said that there was practically no difference.
Now that Masin didn’t have to worry about Cheonsin, he could fully concentrate on strengthening his forces.
As he focused on strengthening his forces, momentum would build, and he would be able to increase his forces easily.
“Thank you for readily agreeing.”
“No problem, this situation happened because of me. On the contrary, I’m grateful that you’ve accepted it.”
Fortunately, the conversation with Masin ended on a heartwarming note.
“Shall we make a contract?”
“Alright.”
T his w as c o pi e d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g
Afterward, Jung Minwoo made a contract to protect Masin until his forces doubled in size.
“I hope we can continue to have a good relationship in the future.”
To Masin’s words……
“Of course.”
Jung Minwoo replied that their good relationship would continue and patted Masin’s shoulder.
“That’s good to hear.”
Perhaps reassured by the answer, Masin showed a faint smile.
“Then, I’ll be going now.”
“Yes, take care.”
“Yes, see you later.”
Jung Minwoo opened a portal himself and……
Whoo――ung.
Thud, thud, thud―
Returned to the Demon Lord’s Castle.
A week later.
The Jung Sinhawal were gathered in one place to go to their new home.
‘Looks like everyone’s here.’
After opening the portal connected to the planet, Jung Minwoo
T h is w as c o p ie d f r o m k i ng mtl . o r g
“Everyone, please line up and enter the portal.”
Pointed to the portal and ordered them to enter.
Of course, he had opened about a thousand portals, as one wouldn’t be enough for such a large number of people.
Step, step, step―
Th is w a s c opi e d fr o m ki n g m t l. or g
At Jung Minwoo’s order, the Jung Sinhawal began to line up and enter the portals one after another.
Murmur, murmur, murmur―
Excited about migrating to another planet, demons from other Demon Lord’s Castles visited this place, watching the procession.
“They changed their race, right?”
“I heard that our Demon Lord became a god and is moving to a new home.”
“I see some faces who were quite famous in the Demon World.”
“You’re right, there are quite a few famous people here.”
Seeing the mass exodus of demons who had been a major part of the Demon World, the other demons felt a strange sense of envy.
“I heard the Demon Lord got a higher position than he had before.”
“Is there anything higher than that position?”
“They say it’s a position called ‘Riseon’ that manages the gods.”
“Wow……”
“I heard even Cheonsin can’t do anything in front of Jungshin.”
“I wonder if they’d change my race if I went and asked.”
“No, I heard they’re not increasing the number of Jung Sinhawal anymore.”
“Tsk, that’s a shame.”
Just as they were whispering while watching the long line of people,
“You want to change your race? Don’t be ridiculous.”
They heard a disapproving voice clicking their tongue from behind.
A demon frowned and
“What does it matter what we talk about amongst ourselve……”
Turned his head to argue back, but
“……”
He quickly shut his mouth when he saw who it was.
It was only natural, because
The 1st ranked Demon Lord, no, the now-Demon Lord Baal, was glaring at him with a frown.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k in g m t l . o rg
“Would you like to say that again?”
“……”
“I told you to say that again. Are you ignoring me?”
“I, I’m sorry……”
The demon repeatedly bowed his head and apologized at Baal’s question.
“Don’t say anything behind my back that you wouldn’t say to my face.”
“I’ll, I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Pathetic worm.”
“……”
“Get out of my sight.”
“……Alright.”
Fearing retribution, the demons quickly left their spot.
“Tsk, how utterly pathetic.”
Baal clicked his tongue at the sight, then after a brief moment,
Sweep―
Turned his gaze to the procession of Jung Sinhawal, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
‘Satan…… you’ve climbed higher again, haven’t you.’
At first, he was overjoyed to become the Demon Lord.
That was until he learned that Satan had been given the position to manage the gods.
‘It’s true that I craved the position of Demon Lord…… but I didn’t want to ascend this way.’
He wanted to take the position himself, not inherit a vacant one.
‘Tsk, now you’ve climbed to a place I can’t reach.’
He had become the strongest in the Demon World after Masin, but perhaps because he had been given the position, he felt nothing.
‘I don’t know what to do now.’
Baal felt a deep emptiness and gave a bitter smile, then
‘Tsk, shall I return to the Demon Lord’s Castle……?’
Turned his steps towards the Demon Lord’s Castle.
Meanwhile, Satan
‘He looks a little pathetic now.’
Was watching Baal’s back with a pitiful look.
‘Now that there’s nothing to see, I have nothing to worry about.’
There were more than a thousand times when he wanted to cross the line and kill him, but sometimes he looked so pitiful that Satan’s heart would soften.
‘Now that we’re further apart, even if we happen to run into each other, he won’t be able to make any offensive remarks.’
Masin would mediate between them.
‘He wouldn’t want me to impose sanctions on the Demon World side by needlessly provoking me.’
He felt relieved that he wouldn’t have to be stressed by Baal anymore, but at the same time, he felt a tinge of regret that he had lost someone he could freely torment.
‘I pity him, but if he crosses the line next time, I’ll kill him.’
It was only because of their positions as Demon Lord and Demon King that he hadn’t killed him; otherwise, he would have done it long ago.
After Baal disappeared from sight, Satan
‘Shall I cross the portal too?’
Moved towards the portal and crossed over to the planet.
A day after all the Jung Sinhawal in the Demon World had migrated.
‘Now that there are people walking the streets, it looks a bit more lively.’
With the Jung Sinhawal bustling about, the deserted streets began to come alive.
He had been worried about what they would think of the modern buildings, but after initial confusion, they seemed to adapt and be satisfied.
‘They seem to have already adapted in a day, but just in case, I should give them time to adjust. Would three weeks be enough?’
He thought it would be good to give them about three weeks to adapt before starting the ranking process.
Since he planned to accept applicants without restrictions, he expected many Jung Sinhawal to apply.
‘Unexpectedly, someone I hadn’t even thought of could become Jungwang.’
Without limitations, there was a high chance of a hidden talent appearing.
The ranking method was simple.
‘Everyone gathers and fights.’
Just fighting.
Th is w a s c o p i e d f r om k i n gmtl. o r g
Those who were eliminated would be granted the rank of 9품.
‘That way, the final 101 people will receive the ranks of Jungwang and Daejungwang.’
He was looking forward to how things would unfold, as there were many strong individuals here.
‘First, I should order the Head Butler to start accepting applications.’
With so many people, it was necessary to start accepting applications in advance.
“Head Butler?”
Th i s wa s c op ied f ro m ki n g m t l . o rg
Th i s was c o p i ed fr o m king mt l . o r g
When he called for the Head Butler,
“Great Master…… no, Jungshin-nim, you called for me?”
The Head Butler appeared after a few seconds.
“We’ll be having a ranking process in three weeks, so please start accepting applications.”
“Understood. May I ask how it will be conducted?”
There was no harm in him knowing the process, so Jung Minwoo explained it to the Head Butler.
“Eliminating them through a free-for-all…… I’ll include that in the announcement as well.”
“Please do.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Alright, you can go now.”
As the Head Butler turned to leave,
Pause―
He suddenly stopped and
“May I participate as well?”
Asked if he could also participate.
T h i s w a s c op i e d f r o m ki n g m tl.o r g
“Of course.”
The Head Butler currently had no rank, so he was eligible to apply.
However, even though he had no rank, he had become stronger than he was in the Demon World.
‘I wanted to appoint him as a Proxy, but since I became a god, I can’t appoint anyone.’
In other words, the Head Butler now had to earn his rank himself.
“Then, I would like to apply.”
“I hope for a good result.”
“I’ll achieve a result that meets Jungshin-nim’s expectations.”
The Head Butler bowed his head and left the office.
‘The Head Butler participating…… this is going to be quite interesting.’
Jung Minwoo had a hunch that the ranking process would be quite entertaining, and he wished for the three weeks to pass quickly.
