The Heavenly Demon Can't Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 602

Humans were rushing around, getting ready for a terrible disaster.

In their dark realm, the Absolutes noticed something: ‘Dimitri.’ They floated in the shadows, their eyes glowing faintly.

One Absolute chuckled, a low, rumbling sound. “Humans are so silly,” he said. “They think this ‘Dimitri’ is special, just because he’s another human. They believe he will change everything! The Maron Church used to be okay at stopping disasters, but these humans? Preparing for this 49-day disaster? Completely foolish!”

Forty-nine days later.

If the boundary between dimensions completely collapses, the Absolutes will come directly, and many gates will open.

The disaster will be like a huge, endless wave. Humans are too weak to stop it, just like they can’t stop the ocean with their bare hands.

Foolish.

Unlike the busy Volfir, most of the Absolutes waited for the forty-ninth day, looking relaxed.

Then, a few days later…

Kargath spoke.

“I just had an interesting idea. Humans are really hoping to summon Dimitri. What if we twisted time between the two dimensions? Even if it’s only forty-nine days here, who knows how long that would be in Dimitri’s world?”

He laughed.

The thought made him laugh.

“Will Dimitri’s people wait so long for Roman Dimitri to call them? After so much time, will they still want to fight? Will they even remember their promises? And if Dimitri doesn’t answer, the humans here will be so sad and disappointed!”

“Oho.”

“That would be very funny.”

The Absolutes agreed.

Everyone knows the humans are trying to summon Dimitri, even though they try to keep it quiet.

Even though they try to keep important talks secret, the Absolutes always know what the humans are doing.

So.

It was an interesting idea.

The Absolutes were bored and liked to destroy dimensions. Nothing was more interesting than this.

They started to gather their power.

Even for them, twisting dimensions was hard. They didn’t need to do it before because they thought Roman Dimitri was not important.

Anyway, after forty-nine days, the humans’ world would be sad.

But Kargath and the Absolutes wanted the humans to be even sadder, so they decided to work together out of pure spite.

The humans didn’t think about one thing.

They couldn’t even imagine that the Absolutes would twist time.

So, the time in the Great Empire and Dimitri’s world started to go in different directions.

Dimitri.

A year later, they knew something was wrong.

They had a meeting in Dimitri. Felix, who was in charge of magical experiments, looked worried.

“Something is strange. When we first connected to the other world, Emperor Roman Dimitri said he would come back here for sure. That was a year ago. Count Albert said that world has good technology, but we haven’t heard anything. If they can’t make a gate, they should at least send a message. A year has passed and nothing has happened. This makes us think something bad might have happened to His Majesty.”

For the past year.

Dimitri was busy with magical experiments.

They learned a lot from Henry Albert’s clues. But as the dimension twisted, Dimitri’s attempts to do anything first kept failing.

It was different from the start of the experiment. They found some connections, but they stopped working as time passed.

Clearly.

There was a problem.

Felix and others shared their thoughts. Then Rodwell Dimitri spoke calmly.

“We can talk about many things, but we don’t know what’s really happening in the other dimension. We know that Emperor Roman Dimitri wants to come back here, according to Count Henry Albert. I know my brother, Emperor Roman Dimitri. He always keeps his promises.”

“I am sorry. I didn’t need to say that.”

“No. A year is a long time to wait and ask questions.”

He looked ahead.

Chris, Kevin, Felix, Valentino, Fabius, Edwin Hector, and others were there.

Whenever they talked about Roman Dimitri, the important people of the continent came, no matter how busy they were.

They still really wanted Roman Dimitri to come back. Felix’s question didn’t change that.

“Believe in Emperor Roman Dimitri. If we want to see each other, we will meet again.”

They made a decision that day.

People didn’t know.

The waiting would be much longer than they thought.

Two years, three years passed.

And five years passed.

More time had passed than when Roman Dimitri first disappeared. Even the people who were positive started to doubt.

Was Henry Albert telling the truth? Is Roman Dimitri really trying to come back? What has been happening for five years?

Doubts spread.

Even Chris, who was looking at the sky, felt lost and hopeless.

“Your Majesty… where are you? What’s happening to you?”

Every night.

He couldn’t sleep because he was worried.

Roman Dimitri was in another dimension, but they couldn’t bring him back, even after five years.

Felix said that Roman Dimitri’s world had the technology to travel between dimensions five years ago.

So, there were only two possibilities.

First.

Something happened to Roman Dimitri.

If an enemy hurt him, he couldn’t cross the dimension.

‘That doesn’t make sense.’

It was silly. Roman Dimitri fought in the Demon World and beat the Demon King. What could hurt him?

He believed that Roman Dimitri would never be defeated, no matter how much time passed.

Then the second possibility.

Roman Dimitri might not want to come back to Dimitri’s world.

‘Maybe he made a new home there. Maybe he was worried about the dimension collapsing, so he decided to stay. Whatever the reason, he has let five years pass.’

He sighed.

Rumors were spreading through Dmitry like wildfire. Whispers that Roman Dmitry would never return filled the streets. Chris tried to ignore them, but doubt gnawed at him. Suddenly, Kevin came to mind.

Chris knew Roman Dmitry well. If even he was confused by the rumors, what must Kevin be thinking?

Chris knew exactly where to find Kevin.

For the past five years, Kevin had followed the same routine. Everyone in Dmitry knew it. So, Chris went straight to the training ground to find him.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Just as Chris had expected.

Kevin’s clothes were soaked with sweat, clinging to his muscles as he swung the heavy sword.

He swung his sword every day, so it would be natural to be used to it, but Kevin always returned exhausted after training.

Chris approached Kevin.

Kevin noticed Chris’s presence and stopped wielding his sword, immediately asking the main point.

“Kevin. What do you think about the rumors going around? After five years, Emperor Roman Dmitry may not return.”

He skipped the usual greetings.

He asked his true feelings.

They knew each other’s thoughts well enough.

Chris knew what he was asking and why he was asking such a question.

Kevin looked at Chris with a calm expression.

“Emperor will definitely return.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“As Chris knows, I first met him at the bottom of my life. From the days when he was called Dmitry’s fool to when he conquered the Demon World. Emperor Roman Dmitry, whom I have watched, has never made a promise he could not keep. Since he said he would return here, there is no possibility that he would not fulfill his promise without saying anything. If he didn’t want to, Emperor Roman Dmitry would have somehow conveyed that thought.”

It was a firm belief.

Whether it was one year, three years, or five years.

It didn’t matter to Kevin.

Kevin had been searching for Roman Dmitry before. But when Roman Dmitry said he would try to return, Kevin stopped wandering. He had a purpose now: to wait.

He believed.

He would meet him someday.

For that day, Kevin did not waste a single day.

“I know what you are worried about. But if a day comes when you regret it.”

Ssk.

He turned around.

He resumed his stance and continued training.

“That day will be when my life ends. I have no worries other than the disloyalty of not being able to wait.”

Whoosh, whoosh.

Kevin wielding his sword.

Chris silently watched him for a moment.

A few days later.

Chris called people together.

To those who were as confused as he was, he revealed the thoughts he had organized over the past few days.

“Recently, I am aware that there are many concerns in Dmitry. I understand. I was like you too, but we need to focus on the essential issues during this confusing time. We all want Emperor Roman Dmitry to return safely. We were able to achieve a peaceful era thanks to Emperor, who founded the Dmitry Empire, destroyed the two great mountain ranges that were trying to conquer the continent, and sacrificed himself to deal with the Demon King. So from now on, do not have any doubts. Stop doubting him. Think of preparing for the Emperor’s return as part of your everyday life.”

Dmitry.

They trained periodically.

How to move troops when that day comes, and how to destroy enemies by moving beyond dimensions.

They repeated it without fail for five years.

Chris emphasized that fact.

The important thing was faith.

“From now on, we will live our lives. Our hearts waiting for Emperor Roman Dmitry will melt into that life. Whether that time takes ten years or twenty years from now, those are not important issues at all. We are simply dedicating a part of our lives as much as we have been favored by Emperor Roman Dmitry. Instead of being anxious about the unanswered wait, I think the life we have been repeating for the past five years is also the way people who remember Emperor Roman Dmitry live.”

It was a difference in thinking.

They wanted the result, but they accepted the process itself.

There may be days when faith wavers, but if it is part of life, it will be inevitable to do it routinely.

Everyone in this place.

Everyone agreed with Chris.

At least the people who remembered and cherished Roman Dmitry did not object to Chris’s words.

“From today, we will train with Kevin. So that when Emperor reaches the world where he exists someday, no one can covet the Dmitry Empire. We will become even stronger than we are now.”

“We obey your command!”

A thunderous voice.

That day, Dmitry reached a new starting point.

Time flowed like light.

From 5 years to 10 years.

From 10 years to 20 years.

A new child was born, and they heard the heroic deeds of Roman Dmitry like a folktale.

The fact that he existed a long time ago.

The fact that he saved the world a long time ago.

It was swept away by the passage of time.

In fact, no one would blame anyone for forgetting Roman Dmitry now, but the people of Dmitry, including Chris, did not stop their repeated lives.

It was a natural thing. Just as people naturally solve their food, clothing, and shelter problems, the life of waiting for Roman Dmitry was also part of the life that everyone accepted.

Just in case.

A reality that will be achieved someday.

For that, everyone dedicated a part of their lives.

And before they knew it, 30 years had passed.

Felix, who was conducting a magic experiment as usual, felt a thrill in his body during the experiment.

“T-this is?!”

Whoosh-

It was certain.

Beyond the dimension.

A signal was transmitted.

It was the signal sent from the world of Roman Dmitry, which they had been eagerly waiting for.

A whopping 30 years.
