Before teleporting the surviving population of Edevin to the colony I gave Apheastus an order to set up emergency residence for the humans to stay in before the move to Edevin. The ants are currently working on building a permanent residence for the humans in the colony so until then the temporary tent made with earth magic will serve as their base. I made sure Apheastus covered the tent area with earth shield to serve as a protective wall for them. I am on my way with Acestes and Achlys guarding me to the tent where the human leading figures are (Ricus, Asa and Everett). I went into the tent filled with only a round table and a seat for four members, Ricus Asa and Everett sits at the lower part while I move to the upper part to sit down with Acestes and Achlys standing at my back. [how is the condition of your temporary homes is it to your liking] [yes we are really grateful for it, some of the humans have also asked us to express their appreciation for it and they would like i
[you are a what now?][I just said it "Ophel Argyros"][no!!!! What you said way before that][oh you mean about me being a former human who got summoned as a demon of Vengeance and became the king of the ants][is.. Is it true, are you really a demon][technically speaking I am half demon half human and half ant][why?][[what's that][why couldn't you just tell me you are a monster? Why did you have to give me the full details of the half? Do you know what it means to identify yourself with a demon in this world][I do but you asked if I was a monster to which I can't say I am. I have no idea what I really am so it is only right for me to explain it to you this way if I don't want to lie to you anymore]. [you see back on earth my age is something close to yours so I consider you as someone I can be friends with. I never had the chance to make friends because of my job and my co workers treating me like a nerd while taking advantage of my kindness but I want to change that here, I w
With the issue of water and mana solved I decided to have some me time away from the colony and the company of humans. It's not everyday I get to enjoy the luxury of visiting the ocean beach and bathing my body in the sun."exhales"I so love the feeling of silence and immersing myself with the surroundings,Is it too much for me to wish that everyday was like this, Instead of me trying to come up with new tactics to use as a fighting force I wish I could just invest that time in myself. Come to think of it there is one question I have been meaning to ask myselfWhy do I struggle?Why do I seek revenge for the dead?I died on earth while overworking myself and yet after being reincarnated into this world I still continue to work.What is stopping me from not going after revenge and instead dedicating myself in exploring this new world?None of this makes any sense,A sensible person would not go this far for someone they have no connection with.It is true that I have this second c
What is this?What is going on?What is he doing?What does he mean by it talks?Why is he referring me to as an inanimate object?More importantly why do I not sense any form of malice from him?Is he not sent by the Emperor?No that can't be, it's too much of a coincidence for him to specifically target me.Maybe that is his goal all along, For me to lower my guard so he can sneak up on me.But he doesn't seem like the kind of person that would use such a cowardly means.What is really the deal with this guy and how did he manage to make me so confused on our first encounter.[you look tense][you should relax, I am not here to do you harm][my curiosity got over me on who was bold enough to kill one of my Warlords and it turns out to be a child] [how bizarre is that].What did he just say?One of his Warlords.I had it right did I not or perhaps my ear is going numb.If that is not it then it would mean the person before me is the Emperor!!!!.[hmm you are sweating and your mana
[They raided the village] [killed the old and young] [raped the women then lay waste to the men]. [The humans saw and did as they saw fit] [I watched my mother get ganged up by groups of men going at her until her life was taken from her]. [They satisfied their desires without keeping an ounce of it in] [They derived their pleasure in the agony of the vikings] [To the humans the vikings were nothing more than a means of entertainment] [why did the vikings do nothing about it], [you said an average viking was stronger than five humans combined][so why did they just watch as the humans vandalize them][why did they not try to fight back?][because they can't][no because they couldn't][they do not know how to]. [the vikings have never once raised their arms in an attempt to cause pain to others] [its a taboo for the vikings to take the life of another][it's a taboo for the vikings to so much as inconvenience another lifeform][the vikings are a pacifist tribe who believe o
[have you all heard what happened][are you talking about Favian][that idiot, I knew he was going to get himself killed with the way he treats things][point of correction he is not dead, he his confined in an ice prison that even I could not break][you went there][of course I did, I was curious as to what had happened to him and then I saw he and his precious monsters all frozen solid][puhuaaa!!, you should have have seen him in there and how funny he looks][is it really that funny?][hey why the serious face][I am asking if one of us getting trapped in an unbreakable ice something to laugh about][hey Ryan you might want to calm down][calm?][I am perfectly calm][you know if I wasn't calm then his head would have been rolling on the floor right about now][really? Why don't you give it a try and see whose head is going to roll] [alright!!!][enough of that][we are here for a serious discussion so let's face that and not start a fight][hey Haley why are you trying to make
"There is no doubt about it", "you are going to be screwed". "hey how can you say that when I haven't even shown my full capabilities" "there is nothing to show or do", "you lost the moment you tried to use tactics against the council" "well what were you expecting me to do then""I expected you to have overwhelmed them the moment the duel began", "if it was the Emperor" "he would have subdue the council the moment the start signal went up""but I am not the emperor" "that I agree to", "at your current pace you wouldn't last a second in the arena with him" "Sigh""what am I supposed to then", "call off the duel I already agreed to" "yes that is exactly what you should do", "what were you even thinking by agreeing to a one on one against him" "what was I thinking"?

"I strongly oppose bringing the beast king into this" "why is that", "you were the one that proposed the idea of joining forces with him in taking down the emperor so why can't we involve him now" "that was when I thought we were going with numbers but now it's going to be just you and the emperor in the ring alone, you don't need the beast king's help for that right" "ummm I think I do", "I need someone to train me in close combat and your subordinate here recommended the beast king as the best possible option for that""I understand that but I am telling you the beast king is not the one for the job" "why do you say that when you yourself acknowledge his strength", "at least you have to explain to me what your reasons are for not wanting to involve him now and why he can't train me or do you want me to lose to the emperor", "is that it"? "do you want me dead""it's actually the opposite of what I want" "what is that supposed to mean" "just know that if you take the beast
