The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 584

It was a truly chaotic day.

Immediately after the shocking event of an Absolute being appearing in person, an emergency meeting was called under the leadership of Roman Dmitry.

Magic circles that could teleport people flashed again and again.

Leaders from various countries, including John Harrison of the United States and Wang Yulong of China, appeared, their faces grim and worried about the future of humanity.

One hour after the incident, leaders from each nation gathered in one place.

The atmosphere was silent, and all eyes were on Roman Dmitry. He sat at the head of the table and immediately explained why he had called the meeting.

“Before we talk about the future, I need to tell you something. As you know from Henry Albert’s story, I used to be Roman Dmitry, the Emperor of the Dmitry Empire. In my past life, I knew what the Demon King wanted and fought against the Demon Realm. To travel between worlds, I had to leave Dmitry. The space between worlds is like a vast ocean. Even the most powerful person can’t control the strong currents. But I learned something important: the space between worlds is very hard to cross, not just for humans, but even for beings called gods.”

“What does that mean?” someone asked.

People were confused.

They believed in gods, but they were surprised to hear them mentioned directly.

“When I left Dmitry, I met a ‘god.’ Our conversation showed that even gods can’t control the space between worlds. So, I started to doubt the Absolutes. How can they cross dimensions so easily, when even gods can’t? Some say it’s because they are true gods, but I think they use the boundaries as they wish because they are not real gods. They only think about what they want, and don’t care about what happens after. They are not gods who rule the entire dimension. Maybe they are using a special power only they have.”

A god had sent Roman Dmitry to this world because he was worried about the dimensional rift caused by Aleksandr.

It was strange because the Absolutes, who were not gods, crossed dimensions whenever they wanted. But the being called god had summoned Roman Dmitry to fix Aleksandr’s problem.

Gods and Absolutes were different.

The Absolutes didn’t seem to care about responsibility like the gods did, and Roman Dmitry came to a conclusion.

“The Absolute, Volfir, said that there would be a great disaster in 49 days. This actually shows that the Absolutes’ powers have ‘conditions.’ Even though humans, who are like ants to them, showed they were against them, the Absolutes still needed 49 days to break down the space between worlds. This means they aren’t giving us extra time, but that they need time too. The Absolute is not a god. If they are not gods, we can defeat them. If they make the dimensional boundary big enough to destroy humanity, we can use ‘that boundary’ too.”

“Does that mean…?” someone asked.

“Yes,” Roman Dmitry replied.

The smart ones understood Roman Dmitry’s plan immediately.

The dimensional boundary, and the world beyond it.

“When the great disaster that will destroy humanity begins, we can bring Dmitry’s world to this place.”

The Maron Church’s experiment showed that the world of Dmitry and the present world could be connected at a specific time, when the worlds are close together.

This was a clear answer, but Roman Dmitry wanted to find a better way than just copying the Maron Church.

A few days ago, Roman Dmitry called Kim Pan-seok and asked him a question.

“The Maron Church’s experiment proves that the ‘world of Dmitry’ is beyond the dimension. Right now, we need to find a specific time when the worlds are close together to reach that world. But if we weaken the dimensional boundary, can we travel between dimensions even if it’s not a specific time?”

It was a difficult question.

If Kim Pan-seok hadn’t seen the Maron Church’s experiment, he would have said it was impossible.

But now it was different. The Maron Church’s experiment had shown them the specific time and the location of Henry Albert’s world.

In other words, they could create a passage if they could solve the dimensional boundary problem.

Kim Pan-seok had studied dimensional travel his whole life, so it was possible. But the dimensional boundary was not easy to solve.

It was like the realm of gods.

Even the Demon King had spent many years using Aleksandr to barely talk about the possibility.

Kim Pan-seok shook his head.

“It’s not easy. In my past life, when I tried to bring the human world and the Demon world together, my existence caused dimensional rifts, so I could create changes. I don’t know how the Absolutes cross dimensions so easily, but if we try carelessly, the dimension itself might disappear.”

“I thought so. That’s why I think there’s a chance. We don’t fully understand the Absolutes’ powers, but there are times when the dimensional boundary collapses. These moments have happened six times so far.”

“…Could it be?” Kim Pan-seok’s eyes widened.

He finally understood what Roman Dmitry was talking about.

“The great disaster brings despair to humanity, but it also means that the dimensional boundary is weak. The Absolutes use special powers to break down the dimensional boundary and bring monsters from other dimensions into this world. I want to know if we can use that moment. When the worlds are mixed together and the lines between them become unclear, can we bring Dmitry’s world here based on its location? I’m asking if there’s a clear method, not just a small chance.”

It was a new way of thinking.

Kim Pan-seok was speechless for a long time.

He knew about the Absolutes, but he had never thought about the great disaster in this way.

After a long silence, Kim Pan-seok spoke.

“It’s impossible with a normal great disaster. But if the dimensional boundary is completely open and humanity faces a crisis that will truly destroy it, if the Absolutes use all their power to push this world to the edge…”

Aleksandr’s evil plan was now giving hope to the humans of the present world.

“It’s possible at that time to bring the world of Dmitry into the present world.”

This was from a conversation with Kim Pan-seok, and the meeting that was happening now.

Since they couldn’t predict the Absolutes’ powers, the Absolutes might already know about their conversations.

But it didn’t matter.

Roman Dmitry knew that the Absolutes were like him.

‘They are too proud and call themselves Absolutes. They don’t think they have rivals, and they enjoy unexpected problems. They are confident in themselves and believe they will always win, so they won’t stop the humans’ plans.’

He openly revealed his plans.

He wanted to deal with the Absolutes directly. He planned to bring Dmitry’s world using the great disaster. He knew that the Absolutes would be interested because he was saying it out loud.

They created disasters for humanity because they were bored.

They saw humans as ants and wouldn’t feel threatened by their plans, so they wouldn’t change their plans.

They would continue with their plans.

By showing themselves, they would try to prove how perfect they were by destroying humans quickly.

So, he didn’t hide anything.

Roman Dmitry knew that his plan might be leaked, but he still sent a clear message to ‘them.’

“The Absolute Volfir said that there would be a great disaster for humanity in 49 days. If this disaster is like the ones before, I’m sure that this world will solve all the problems quickly because of me. But if the Absolutes really want to destroy this world and break down the dimensional boundary, I will use it to bring the world of Dmitry.”

“…Does that mean that humanity has an answer no matter what happens?” someone asked.

“That’s right. The Absolute is arrogant. They hate humanity, so even if they know my plan, they will continue with their plan and try to test humanity. Dmitry is also just a human. They said the deadline was 49 days, so they will try to destroy this world. If humanity can survive until the end, the Absolutes will be defeated.”

Roman Dmitry and the Absolute would not back down.

They had always won and didn’t show any signs of giving up, even though they knew each other’s plans.

“This is a fight to see who is stronger, and the stronger side will win. Humanity needs to strongly believe that I, Roman Dmitry, am stronger than the Absolute.”

The leaders of the nations looked at each other, their eyes shifting nervously. What they had just heard was hard to believe.

Standing in front of them was a human, Roman Dmitry, who spoke of fighting the Absolute, those powerful beings everyone feared, and even winning. This was something they couldn’t understand easily, like a dream or magic.

But deep down, they wanted to believe it was possible.

As the leaders of each nation showed their quiet trust, Roman Dmitry ended the important meeting.

Forty-nine days from now, we will all work hard to get ready for a big war against the Absolute.

The meeting was over.

As the leaders left the Great Han Empire, they spoke to Roman Dmitry with serious and determined faces. They looked ready to fight, even though they were also afraid.

“To be honest, we still don’t really believe we can beat a god-like being,” said the leader of the United States. “But now we know they really think we are just toys to play with. So, I promise the full power of the United States to Emperor Roman Dmitry. Even if this means humanity is destroyed, the sacrifice will be worth it.”

“For a long time, the Murim has wanted a Heavenly Demon to appear,” said the leader of Murim. “If the Heavenly Demon had been here, the Murim wouldn’t have fallen, and the Absolute wouldn’t be causing so much trouble. Shin Wang-wi-ryong, I’m happy to see the Heavenly Demon in my lifetime. I will prove myself by giving my life. We have waited for the Heavenly Demon, and we will show what we can do. We will stand by you until the end, so we won’t be ashamed of being from the Murim, just like when we took over the Murim.”

Everyone became more determined.

Forty-nine days. It was easy to say, but everyone felt uneasy thinking about the huge disaster that would happen in that short time.

Even seeing their worry, Roman Dmitry didn’t say anything more.

Roman Dmitry wanted people to trust him, but he also wanted them to be a little afraid as they prepared for the final war.

Fear was another driving force.

He knew fear could be dangerous, but right now, it was needed to push people to prepare.

“Kim Junhyuk.”

“Yes.”

“I will be training in private for a while. Unless there’s a big problem, handle things yourself. While I’m gone, help the other countries so they can get ready for the final battle.”

“…Understood.”

Roman Dmitry’s absence made people worry.

They were afraid the Absolute might attack while he was gone, but Roman Dmitry wasn’t worried.

If they attacked before the forty-nine days, it would show they were weak.

Was he not just a human?

Roman Dmitry showed he wasn’t worried about his safety, as if testing his enemy.

Days passed quickly.

Several days later, it was a very dark night.

There were no guards near the training area, and people thought Roman Dmitry was being too bold.

Even after saying there would be a war with the Absolute, he went into training without any guards, proving he meant what he said.

It was a risky game.

Even knowing a truck was coming straight at him, Roman Dmitry didn’t move.

A cold, strange wind blew.

When the moon peeked out from behind the clouds, many shadows appeared near the training area.

Thousands? No, tens of thousands.

They all had weapons.

The figures, hidden in the darkness, moved towards the training area. They looked at each other and entered from all directions.

Some went through the main gate, some through the windows, and some broke through the roof, trying to attack without even knowing who they were fighting.

Suddenly, terrible screams of pain echoed from inside the building.

They were cries of shock and agony, making the shadows outside freeze.

Then, the door slowly opened.

It was a strange sight.

In the dark night, a man walked out of the building, holding something round.

Drip, drip.

It was a head.

The person who had been alive just moments ago was now just a head in his hand.

He threw the head to the side.

Blood stained the ground as the head rolled, and the man swept back his hair with blood-stained hands.

“Amyeong (Dark Shadows),” he said, using their group’s name. “You rat-like bastards who betrayed humanity and joined the Absolute. If you really learned from the Murim, you would know that training in private is a big weakness for a martial artist.”

He could sense many shadows around him.

They showed their anger and hatred, slowly getting closer to Roman Dmitry.

It was funny.

Roman Dmitry had made himself open to attack by training in private, and he had completely entered the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, becoming selfless.

They must have thought it was a good chance. In that state, even a small mistake could lead to problems, so they attacked without hesitation.

It seemed like a good plan.

But they had chosen the wrong person.

Roman Dmitry smiled as he looked at the betrayers of humanity and the enemies who had destroyed the Heavenly Demon Church.

“I’ve been waiting.”

With those words, shadows rushed in from all directions.
