The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 576

Andres spoke, and as he did, the truth became clear.

The timeline became clear.

Even before the disasters started, the Absolutes were watching our world. They were waiting for the right moment.

Then, a book called ‘The Biography of Henry Albert’ came from another world. The Absolutes sent this book to Sebastian on purpose.

When people understood the book, the disasters began. Unexpectedly, beings like the Successor were also created. This made the Absolutes’ plan take longer, but they kept preparing for the final act.

The last act.

The fight with Roman Dmitry, whom humanity summoned as their hope.

That was the finale the Absolutes wanted, but the situation changed when Roman Dmitry appeared in person.

It was still just a guess.

Andres confessed, but they couldn’t believe everything he said completely. Even if the Absolutes had been planning for 30 years, it was too early to say they knew everything.

However, one thing was clear. Humanity’s main enemy was not each other, but the Absolutes.

Roman Dmitry said.

“The reason I first questioned the existence of the Absolutes is because I had a similar experience in my past life. Those who know the book will know that the Salamander Continent was attacked by the Demon World. The Demon King attacked to relieve his boredom, but it started long ago in the Demon World’s history. Even the Demon World was attacked by ‘monsters from beyond.’ It was a crisis like the Absolutes bringing destruction to this world, and the Demon World started to break apart because of the damage. I think the monsters from beyond are the same as the Absolutes. Even if they are not, the results will be the same.”

Present life and past life.

They were connected by fate.

The two worlds were not completely separate.

“What do you think is the Absolutes’ goal?”

“…I think it’s a game. I can’t understand why beings like gods would do this.”

“Yes. They want the game itself. They are like gods, but not truly gods. For them, the Maron Church was a very interesting tool. It was a perfect way to divide humanity and summon an absolute being like ‘Roman Dmitry.’ They used the Maron Church because they thought they could control me. So, I ask you. Andres says the Absolutes promised to leave part of the world, but do you think beings who see humans as toys will keep their promises?”

Silence hung heavy in the conference room.

Everyone knew.

The Absolutes’ promise to save part of the world? It was just a dream.

Even if they stopped all ten disasters, there was no guarantee the Absolutes would let humanity survive.

“What happened in my past life is connected to what’s happening now. Just like those monsters from another world destroyed the Demon World, the Absolutes will destroy humanity. They will enjoy watching us fail more than keeping their word. I won’t gamble humanity’s future on a false hope. We must unite this world and make our own plan.”

The stage was set.

The leaders of the Daehan Empire looked determined.

They had already accepted the truth, but the leaders of other countries would be shocked by what was about to be discussed.

“I will cross the worlds and punish the Absolutes directly.”

A shocking statement.

The leaders of each country were stunned.

The idea of fighting the Absolutes before the 10th disaster was too big for them to understand.

The leaders of the Daehan Empire felt the same.

U.S. President John Harrison said.

“I believe in the Emperor, I do. But going to fight gods? It’s hard to imagine. Even blocking the monsters is hard enough. We don’t know what will happen if we fight the Absolutes directly. And even if we ignore those problems, how can we even find the Absolutes?”

“President John Harrison is right. Humans need time. If we aren’t ready, we might make things worse too quickly.”

Worry came first.

It was a normal reaction.

Anxiety, impatience, worry.

Roman Dmitry understood how they felt.

Many people will die.

Sacrifice was unavoidable.

However, waiting wasn’t necessarily better for humanity.

“Time. Yes, we need time. If we are ready, we can face the Absolutes with confidence. But the disasters and the hope both come from the Absolutes. They gave us disasters and the power to fight them through the system. That shows a clear truth. No matter how strong we become, the Absolutes decide how much power we have. 10 years from now, 20 years from now… Do you think we can defeat the Absolutes then? No, we will still be relying on their mercy.”

It was a hard truth.

They tried to avoid it, but Roman Dmitry showed them the reality.

“Time is not on our side. The moment you feel anxious, that might be the worst time for the Absolutes, who are planning for the 10th disaster. We shouldn’t play their game. And most importantly, ‘we’ won’t be fighting this war alone.”

“What do you mean…?”

People’s eyes widened.

They didn’t know.

What Roman Dmitry had been preparing for the past year.

“I will bring Dmitry’s world here.”

The Absolutes.

They controlled Dmitry’s world.

After destroying this world, they would use the story of Roman Dmitry to play with Dmitry’s world.

So, it wasn’t just a problem for this life.

If it was a fire that would spread to Dmitry’s world, they needed to destroy the Absolutes by combining the power of both worlds.

Kim Pan-seok stepped forward.

“I will explain the future plans. For the past year, the Daehan Empire has been experimenting with dimensional 이동 magic (magic to travel between worlds), like the Maron Church. They had done many experiments and had good results, but they hadn’t quite opened a door between the worlds. However, after seeing Andres’s magic, we got an idea to solve the problem. If we use dimensional 이동 magic when the worlds line up twice a year, we can create a ‘passage’ between our world and Dmitry’s world.”

Maron Church.

There was a reason for allowing them.

Kim Pan-seok watched Andres’s magic and saw the exact moment when the worlds lined up and what tools and magic they needed.

Kim Pan-seok could do this because he had studied the boundaries between worlds to connect the Demon World and the surface world when he followed the Demon King.

It came from evil, but now it was helping to save humanity.

Humans.

Even powerful beings couldn’t understand dimensions as well as Kim Pan-seok.

Kim Pan-seok was not given his power. He had built it himself, like a weapon, over many years.

“If we join Dimitri’s world and its power with ours, we can find the absolute being. Dimitri’s world is full of magic. Their amazing skills will really help us with what we need to do.”

Following Kim Pan-seok,

Roman Dimitri spoke.

“Really, I don’t need you to fight the absolute being. I could bring Dimitri’s world here and have enough power on my own. But I got rid of the traitors and brought you all together for a reason. Trust me. People say humanity can’t beat the absolute being, but I will face it and defeat it for sure. I need you to sacrifice for humanity. When we attack, the ten big disasters might get worse and push humanity into terrible darkness. Many people might die. But trust me and hold on. Trust me and fight the monsters. When we break through to the absolute being, I promise I will bring peace, even if it costs your lives.”

This was one plan.

It was huge and scary.

Not just about a few people, but about all of humanity being destroyed.

But surprisingly, no one argued.

His plan was simple and risky – just trust him. But something about the way he said it gave the leaders a strong feeling of hope, even if they didn’t understand why.

The last twenty years had been full of sadness.

People had hoped for things that never happened. Even when they knew things were bad, they pretended to be hopeful, like they were making fun of themselves and the absolute being.

But Roman Dimitri’s plan was different. He said even if many died, humanity could win peace with one big fight.

Maybe that’s why they listened.

Someone broke the silence.

“I’ll do it,” one leader said. “If I’m going to die anyway, it’s better to trust His Majesty.”

“I will too. His Majesty is right. I’ve been pretending things are okay when they’re not. Even if we stopped the disasters, we weren’t really safe. But we had to pretend to be hopeful. Thank you for giving us real hope, even if it’s small. I’ll risk my life for it,”

A third person said simply, “What else can we do? If humanity can have hope again, I don’t care if I die.”

The will of the people.

It spread like wildfire.

Not just vague hope, but the thought that they could truly grasp the peace of humanity in their hands made people risk their lives.

They forgot about old problems between countries.

China, the United States, Italy, Spain, and others. Some were friends in the European Union, and some were like oil and water, not mixing at all. But now, as they promised to follow Roman Dimitri, those old fights didn’t matter anymore.

A single group.

A single purpose.

They gathered their intentions.

Seeing the people calling out their loyalty in turn, Roman Dimitri accepted their intense desire.

“Accepting your will, the plan will proceed as scheduled. Until the next time the dimensions align, we must prepare two things. The first is to strengthen the military power of all nations, and the second is……”

Andres.

The task to be done with that being became clear.

“The capture of the chosen ones.”

Meanwhile, in another place, there was a vast space.

So many people flocked there that there was barely room to set foot.

They were gathered around something, and a man with a worried face asked the woman next to him.

“When will he wake up? It’s already been a month.”

“…I don’t know when either. What I know is that a body without a soul can die anytime unless we give it life in some way. If someone called his soul back, we have to hope there’s a chance and keep waiting.”

“Haa.”

The man sighed.

He was frustrated.

He was angry, and he wanted to scream like crazy.

But he couldn’t.

When he raised his eyes, he saw many people.

From commoners to nobles.

People of various statuses were visiting this place every day for a common purpose.

Especially a man with a haggard face.

He had lived here ever since he heard the news.

Seeing him guarding the spot without eating anything, he once got angry and told him to please rest.

Knowing that he wasn’t the only one frustrated and struggling, the man suppressed his seething anger while showing a miserable expression.

It was then.

Twitch.

“Huh?!”

“H-He moved!”

People were in an uproar.

The man lying in the center.

He finally reacted.

Everyone’s eyes were focused.

Everyone watched, holding their breath. The man who looked like a dead body slowly opened his eyes.

“……Kkeueueu.”

He groaned.

He saw something familiar.

Dimitri’s world.

He knew he was back home. His voice was weak and rough as he spoke with effort.

He had something important to say.

“I m-met His Imperial Majesty, Roman Dimitri. I finally met him.”

The man was Henry Albert.
