The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Junggye (6)

Meanwhile, Cheonsin……

‘Damn it, why is his power suddenly increasing?!’

He felt anxious about the increase in Jung Minwoo’s power.

Chomp, chomp, chomp—

He was so anxious that he was unconsciously biting his finger.

‘I have to find a way…… Otherwise, Masin will only get stronger.’

Currently, Jung Minwoo was protecting Masin, claiming he couldn’t do anything.

Because there was a justification that he had taken away Masin’s power, Cheonsin couldn’t question him protecting Masin.

‘Right now, we’re losing ground on Earth……’

He had tried to increase the number of believers on Earth to increase the number of participants in the Jungcheonma, but unfortunately, there were slightly more Demon Servants, making it difficult to turn the tables.

In other words, it was difficult to widen the gap through Jungcheonma.

‘As time passes, the gap between Masin and me will only widen……’
T hi s w a s c o pi ed f r om k i n gm t l . o r g

If he didn’t come up with a countermeasure here, he would have to bow his head to Masin in the future.

‘Think……!’

As he racked his brains, trying to find a solution……

‘……Right, there was that guy.’

He could think of a very dangerous and certain method.

‘I’m going to resurrect the Ancient God……’

Ancient God.

A god who existed before Cheonsin and Masin were born.

‘At that time, I joined forces with Masin to seal him away.’

At that time, he had to join forces with Masin because the Ancient God was trying to kill him.

‘But how do I break the seal?’

To break the seal, his permission and Masin’s permission were required.

‘Should I try a workaround?’

He thought he could somehow break the seal if he offered a Demon Lord-level demon as a sacrifice instead of Masin.

‘However, he will be resurrected with some of his power lost.’

He thought that even if he was resurrected with his power lost, that guy would be able to easily overwhelm Jung Minwoo.

‘He was so strong that Masin and I barely managed to seal him away when we were on the verge of death.’

At that time, almost all of his subordinates were wiped out, so you could tell how strong the Ancient God was.

‘Then, I can just make the Ancient God fight Jung Minwoo.’

You might ask what he would do if Jung Minwoo won here, but……

‘It doesn’t matter.’

Th i s w as co p i e d f rom ki n g m t l .o r g
Anyway, after the fight was over, Jung Minwoo would be quite exhausted, so he could just go and kill him then.

‘And then, I’ll kill Masin right away.’

He was confident that he could win if he fought Masin because Masin was in the middle of recovering his power.

‘Hehehe, yes! This is how it should be done.’

He thought it was a brilliant idea, even by his own standards.

He decided that by carrying out this plan, he would become the only god in the universe.

‘To carry out this plan, I have to lure Baal again……’

Since he couldn’t set foot in the Demon World right now, he had to target Baal when he went to another planet.

Th i s w as c op i e d f r o m k i ng m t l .o r g
‘But this guy doesn’t come out of the Demon World very often……’

The probability of success of this plan decreased the later it was executed, so he had to carry it out quickly.

‘I have no choice but to pray that he leaves the Demon World soon.’

Cheonsin decided to check where Baal was, just in case, and used his power.

‘Oh, the energy of the universe is definitely pushing me!’

And, as luck would have it, he could see that Baal was out of the Demon World and on a planet.

And it was a planet that he wasn’t invading.

In this case, Masin wouldn’t know if he had contacted Baal unless he was paying attention.

‘I have to go right now.’

He was naturally happy because the situation was going smoothly.

Cheonsin opened a portal to the planet where Baal was and went there immediately.

As he arrived on the planet through the portal……

‘There he is.’
Th i s w a s c o p ie d f r om k in g m tl . or g

He could see Baal gazing at the sea with a blank expression.

“What are you doing here alone?”

Cheonsin approached Baal with the most gentle smile he could muster to show that he had no intention of causing harm.

“Cheonsin…… What brings you here?”

Baal looked at him with slightly wary eyes, then……

T hi s w as c op ied fr o m ki ng m t l. or g
“Never mind. You must be here to try and win me over.”

He soon relaxed his guard and turned his gaze back to the sea.

“That’s right, I came to win you over.”

“I’m not going to repent anymore. Because my goal has disappeared.”

“You say your goal has disappeared?”
T h i s w as c o p i e d f r o m k ing m t l . or g

Th is w a s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l . or g
“You know, I listened to you because I wanted to kill Satan.”

That’s right.

Baal’s goal was to take Satan’s place and become the Demon Lord, but since that wasn’t possible, he planned to become a ‘Repentant Demon’ and kill Satan.

“And then?”

T hi s wa s c o p i e d fr o m k i n gm tl . o r g
“But now that I’ve reached a place where I can’t touch him, killing him is out of the question. That’s why I said my goal has disappeared.”

“If you could reach the same position as Satan, you would still want to kill him, right?”

“Why are you asking the obvious? I’ll kill him as soon as I reach the same position.”

Cheonsin breathed a sigh of relief inwardly at Baal’s words because he hadn’t completely given up.

“Would you be willing to become a god if you could?”

“Are you kidding me? Who would refuse if they could become a god?”

“I know a way to become a god, do you want to hear it?”

“If it’s a trick, I’ll report it to Masin-nim immediately.”

“You can decide after you hear it.”

“Spit it out.”

Although his words were quite irritating, Cheonsin exercised patience and explained kindly.

Of course, he didn’t tell him everything as it was, but explained it in a way that would appeal to Baal.

“There is a being called the Ancient God who is currently sealed.”

“So?”

“So, you can become a god by taking his power.”

“If he’s a god, I’ll be the one who gets eaten instead.”

“He won’t eat you because he’s lost a lot of power since the seal has been in place for so long.”

Baal made a dubious expression.

“How can you be so sure?”

He looked at Cheonsin with suspicious eyes and asked for the reason for his confidence.

“Because I will take measures to prevent you from being consumed by the Ancient God.”

“Take measures?”

“Yes, since the Ancient God’s power has weakened, I can sufficiently intervene.”

A blatant lie.

No matter how much the Ancient God had lost some of his power, Cheonsin was no match for him, making intervention impossible.

“Then prove to me right now whether that statement is true or not.”

“Proof?”

“Yes, draw up a contract to prove whether your words are true or not.”

At Baal’s words, Cheonsin shook his head.

“I’m sorry, but then I might get caught by Masin, so I don’t think I can draw up a contract.”

He refused, giving a plausible excuse.

“Hmm, that makes sense.”

Baal also agreed with Cheonsin’s words because it wouldn’t be good if Masin found out.

“But it’s hard to believe you without any proof.”

“I’m telling you the truth. It can’t be helped if you don’t believe me.”

At Cheonsin’s words, Baal crossed his arms and fell into thought.

After about five minutes of silence……

“But why are you trying to make me a god?”

He belatedly asked Cheonsin’s intention.

“Because I want something.”

“Something you want?”

“Yes, please kill Jungshin.”

“Jungshin……”

Baal didn’t ask why because he knew Cheonsin’s situation.

“I’ve considered Jung Minwoo a thorn in my side too, so it wouldn’t be bad to kill him along with Satan.”

“Let’s draw up a contract after you become a god.”

“Just as I hoped.”

If he killed Jungshin without a contract, Cheonsin’s hammer could be directed at him.

That’s why he had to draw up a contract no matter what.

“Are you going to kill Masin too?”

Baal already spoke of Masin without the honorific ‘-nim’ as if he had already become a god.

“Of course.”

“If Masin dies, I’ll take the Demon World.”

“It’s not like you’re losing anything, so do as you please.”

Thus, the two shook hands and formed a tacit alliance.

“When are you going to carry out the plan?”

“The day before Jungcheonma starts.”

“Why then?”

T hi s w a s c o p ie d f rom k i n g m tl . or g
“Because I judged that the defenses will be most vulnerable due to Jungcheonma.”

“Makes sense.”

“Anyway, since Satan will be conducting Jungcheonma, you can just go straight to the planet where Jung Minwoo is and kill him.”

“Alright.”

The two, who had even decided on the date and meeting place……

“I think we’re done talking, so shall we part ways? I think we might get caught if we stay any longer.”

“Good.”

They left without any regrets.

‘Hehe, you stupid bat.’

Cheonsin laughed at Baal, who readily believed his words.

‘Just die as a sacrifice.’

He wondered what kind of expression Baal would make when he was subdued in front of the Ancient God.

‘I’ll have to grab that bat and negotiate with the Ancient God.’

The Ancient God would accept if he offered the condition of killing Jung Minwoo in exchange for breaking the seal.

‘Just in case, I should also add the condition that he can’t kill me.’

It didn’t matter if this condition was rejected, but he decided to throw it in just in case.

‘I hope time passes quickly.’

Cheonsin felt regret that he couldn’t see Jung Minwoo’s dying face in person, but……

‘I’ll have to be satisfied with seeing his corpse.’

He decided to find meaning in his death, even if it was a shame.

‘For now, I’ll have to prepare in my own way.’

Cheonsin thought that he should choose those who were tight-lipped and prepare them for battle, and returned to the Celestial Realm.

Meanwhile, Jung Minwoo……

‘Release the seal of the Ancient God and kill me? How cute.’

He burst into laughter at the fact that they were trying to kill him.

The reason Jung Minwoo found out was simple.

It was thanks to Dantalion’s ‘Future Book’ unique trait.

He suddenly saw the future, witnessing Cheonsin scheming and the future where he would fight a being called the Ancient God.

‘I wish I could have seen the outcome of the fight, but it ended right at the scene where we were fighting.’

Unfortunately, he didn’t see the winner, but……

‘It’s enough that I know they’re up to something.’

Just being able to prepare for it was more than enough value for seeing the future.

‘Then, after the ranking is settled, I should prepare to fight the Ancient God.’

Since he didn’t know the Ancient God’s strength, he needed to prepare thoroughly.

‘First, it would be better to postpone Jungcheonma for a bit.’

Based on his calculations, the planet’s rank wouldn’t have increased by the time Jungcheonma started, so it wasn’t a good idea to fight in this state.

‘I need to postpone it and raise the planet’s rank before fighting.’

Of course, he could use the ‘Restriction’ unique trait even if the planet’s rank didn’t increase, but……

‘There’s a big difference between having the rank increased and not having it increased.’

T h i s wa s copie d from ki n g m t l . o r g
To impose stronger restrictions, the planet’s rank needed to be increased.

‘If I postpone it, Cheonsin will also adjust and postpone breaking the seal.’

He could just proceed with Jungcheonma after the planet’s rank increased.

‘If they break the seal of the Ancient God even after I postpone it, then I have no choice but to fight in that state.’

One might ask if he could just tell Masin beforehand and have Cheonsin executed, but……

‘It’s something that hasn’t happened yet.’

If he killed Cheonsin, who hadn’t done anything yet, just because he saw the future, it could arouse Masin’s suspicion.

‘Well, Masin would probably be happy to see Cheonsin die rather than be suspicious.’

But the reason he wasn’t killing him beforehand was……

‘It would be troublesome if he broke the seal on his own and caused chaos later, so I need to take this opportunity to kill him.’

One might ask if he could just ask Masin and go to the sealed location to kill him, but……

‘If that were possible, Cheonsin and Masin would have done it already.’

They wouldn’t want to leave behind a potential threat, so they would have tried something like this.

Also, as Jung Minwoo had deduced, the Ancient God couldn’t cause any harm while sealed.

‘After killing the Ancient God, I should hold Cheonsin accountable.’

Afterward, Jung Minwoo considered all sorts of possibilities and began writing them down in the ‘Infinite Diary’ that Dantalion had given him as a gift.
