Chapter 86
—
“So, you’re saying that a revelation, which hadn’t come down for ages, has descended twice this month alone?”
“Yes, that’s correct, Your Holiness.”
“And the content of the second revelation is to offer ‘Fantasy Games’ on the altar?”
“Yes, that’s correct. The revelation was to offer a large quantity of artifacts related to all kinds of fantasy games.”
“What could possibly be the reason the Goddess would… Hah, no, I must not doubt Her will.”
Another revelation had come down.
The Pope held his forehead, deep in thought.
Revelations were meant to descend briefly only during urgent situations, like an impending invasion by the Demon King’s army.
And this was an era of peace.
The first revelation, which stated that malevolent demons existed in the Middle World, was somewhat understandable.
Internally, it was concluded that this referred to the Demon King.
However, before they could decide what to do about the Demon King, an incident of divine descent occurred.
And then, just a few days later, a second revelation was issued, instructing them to offer fantasy games.
Even for a Pope who had lived nearly a hundred years, the will of the Celestial Realm was utterly incomprehensible.
“Well, let us prepare for it.”
Offer games on the altar?
He had no idea what kind of absurd revelation this was, but he had to comply.
As the leader of the religion, he could not harbour doubts about the will of the Goddess.
For the first time in his life, the Pope, who had never doubted his faith, instinctively felt a question mark rising.
Moreover, during the recent incident of divine descent, the Cardinal’s COL artifact disappeared along with the Goddess.
“This feels almost like…”
The Goddess seems to be asking for games because She finds them so fun.
The Pope shook his head vehemently at the irreverent thought he had just entertained.
No matter how it seemed, that was far too disrespectful.
The idea of the Goddess losing herself in COL and gaming endlessly was preposterous.
Of course, that was a mistaken assumption.
The truth was not that the Goddess alone had become engrossed in games.
Rather, the Archangels were fighting each other over a single game.
In any case, they had to prepare the games.
And then, on the day the games were offered on the altar—
“Ooooh…! Ooooh!”
As the ritual proceeded, a divine light descended from the heavens.
The altar, adorned with perfectly aligned fantasy games, shone brightly.
“Aaaah…!”
“Oh, Goddess…”
The holy light of the Celestial Realm.
A miracle that ordinary people might never experience in their lifetime caused the devotees to bow their heads in reverence.
Though it was already the umpteenth miracle this month.
—I shall watch over you with love…
“Ooooh…!”
“Sob… sob…”
The voice of the Goddess resounded from afar.
Hearing the Goddess’s voice, some devout followers burst into tears.
However, the true identity of that voice was not the Goddess but the Archangel Michael.
Meanwhile, the games transported from the Middle World arrived in the Celestial Realm.
“Woohoo, it’s here!!”
“With this, we won’t need to fight over it anymore.”
“But there’s more than just COL here.”
“What is this leaf thing?”
The Archangels, who had quickly lost interest in the tearful humans of the Middle World, widened their eyes at the diverse array of games.
One by one, they picked up the games and began exploring them.
“Aaah… Humans dared to enjoy this on their own… how audacious…”
“Oh, no… I’m going for a triple kill…!”
“The despairing three-star has arrived!”
The Archangels’ exploration of the games continued for days.
Experiencing an intense pleasure unlike anything in the Celestial Realm, the Archangels, who had lived their lives in tranquil asceticism, couldn’t easily pull themselves away.
“Hoooot… ooooh…?”
While each was absorbed in games matching their preferences, the Archangels belatedly tried out an artifact that wasn’t a game.
Its name was ‘Tworch.’
It was an artifact that allowed users to share their gaming experiences live with others.
“Hmm… This person must be a master of My. So, they watch the gameplay of famous individuals and chat while doing so… Hm?”
The first to try out ‘Tworch’ was Uriel.
The other Archangels were too engrossed in their respective games to notice.
“Is this… a collaboration between the Demon King-sama and JeBbit? What’s with this stream title… huh?”
While scrolling through the Tworch streams, Uriel came across a particular broadcast.
“The Demon King-sama?”
It was a broadcast hosted by demons.
The streamer’s nickname was ‘Demon King-sama.’ They were even collaborating with a human. And on top of that, they were… adorable.
Upon closer inspection, there were other demons hosting broadcasts as well.
Uriel doubted his eyes. Humans were playing games together with demons?
“They dared to enjoy something this fun before us…! Those wicked demons…”
Uriel couldn’t help but feel cheated, as though he had been robbed of something precious.
“No, no. This isn’t the time for that.”
Uriel quickly regained his composure and hurried to wake the other Archangels.
“W-what is it, Uriel? This is a crucial moment!”
sGabriel, who was in the middle of Auto Chess, responded without even turning his head, busy with rerolling.
“Hah… Fine, I’ll talk after this round.”
Uriel had no choice but to wait for everyone to finish their current games.
Interrupting Sariel and Michael in the middle of their COL matches might result in his death.
“Ha… What nonsense are you up to, Uriel? I need to queue for my next game!”
“Pull yourself together, Raphael, you lunatic. This is serious.”
“What’s the matter, Uriel? If it’s not important, I’ll report you.”
“That would be a problem… No, just look at this.”
Uriel pointed to his Tworch screen.
“It’s an artifact that lets humans share their game screens and communicate. Watch the stream of this user named ‘Demon King-sama.’”
As the Archangels looked around ‘Tworch,’ following Uriel’s words, their expressions began to change.
A demon was openly hosting a collaborative stream with humans.
At first glance, it seemed like a young demon.
But there was no mistaking it. She was the Demon King.
“She’s the Demon King. And she emerged far earlier than expected. What’s even more surprising is that she’s playing games with humans, and even more…”
“Her popularity is soaring. The chatroom in her stream is genuinely beautiful.”
“Everyone is praising Demon King-sama. What is this… Have the humans all been collectively hypnotized or something?”
“Well, the magical energy observed in the Middle World must have been hers. But why are the humans…”
The Archangels were bewildered by the incomprehensible situation.
Becoming fans of the Demon King, of all beings, was beyond their understanding.
“Could it be that this cuteness has bewitched the humans?!”
“Snap out of it, Raguel. And why are you reaching for the donation button?”
Indeed, she was undeniably cute.
Even the Archangels found themselves instinctively tempted to donate.
“But this doesn’t seem like some kind of collective hypnosis.”
“Hm… Should we try asking the humans?”
Following Gabriel’s suggestion, Uriel typed in the chat.
Cruel Flame’s Judge: Why does Demon King-sama have so many fans? She’s a demon.
DemonKingSama’sFootwasher: ?? Who’s this clown?
DemonKingSamaFansAreEverywhere: Troll alert!
“What the…?”
“What’s wrong, Uriel?”
“I was forcibly removed from the stream. It won’t let me back in.”
“Were you banned? But why…”
“Let me give it a try.”
Servant of the Divine One: Hello, first time here in Demon King-sama’s stream. Why is she so popular?
DemonKingSama’sFootwasher: Wow, are you living under a rock? Have you been off the grid for 10 years or something?
DemonKingSamaFansAreEverywhere: You don’t know Demon King-sama? How is that even possible?
SuccubusBigSisHehHeh: Seriously? But even if you don’t play games, you’d have at least seen her name in the news once.
SolidMan: Exactly. The whole world’s been talking about it.
Servant of the Divine One: This is my first time using Tworch, so I’m a bit clueless. Could you explain?
“At least I haven’t been forcibly kicked out yet.”
Gabriel wiped the sweat off his brow and continued typing.
DemonKingSama’sFootwasher: Fine, I guess we have no choice.
DemonKingSamaFansAreEverywhere: Let’s educate them.
The fans began recounting Demon King-sama’s life story with enthusiasm.
From her first appearance in the Middle World to her current status, they shared her touching tale, praising her personality that moved even humans despite her being a demon.
“…This feels like a full-blown religion.”
“So it’s not hypnosis. She’s a half-demon, half-human Demon King.”
“Sniff… sob… For someone so young to endure such discrimination and still smile so brightly. How much suffering must she have endured…! And yet, she leads with love!”
“Raguel, you idiot! That’s the Demon King! Somebody hit him!”
In any case, the Archangels learned about Demon King-sama.
They also managed to grasp the current state of the Middle World while chatting with the viewers.
“It seems this fantasy game has dramatically transformed the Middle World.”
“Exactly. It’s a completely different world compared to the time of the Human-Demon War.”
“It’s not hard to understand. This game is sweeter than any substance in the Celestial Realm.”
“What should we do?”
The Archangels fell into deep contemplation.
The games themselves weren’t the problem—they were excellent.
The real concern was that humans were getting closer to demons.
If this continued, the Middle World would uncover the truth about the relationship between the Celestial Realm and the Demon World.
The next Human-Demon War might immediately escalate into a Celestial-Demon War.
Friendly relations between humans and demons could allow demons to pass through the Middle World without resistance and invade the Celestial Realm.
“But we’ve been intertwined with humans through religion for so long. Would they really believe the demons so easily?”
“Still, it doesn’t seem like humans and demons are on the verge of war in the Middle World.”
“Then demons could move freely into the Celestial Realm without obstruction.”
For the Celestial Realm, which had long relied on the Middle World as a shield against demons, this was an alarming development.
“Why don’t we play the game while thinking it over?”
“Let’s do that. We can’t afford to lose queue time.”
And so, the Archangels spent a long time pondering.
However, they still hadn’t found an answer when—
“…?!”
Their concerns resolved themselves naturally one day—but in the worst possible way.
