Black Iron Magician - Chapter 530 - Agalia Utopia
I, Agalia Utopia, was created by Goddess and was a summoner who served her. I may look like this, but in terms of race, I am an angel. I don’t look like an angel at all, right? Well, that’s because the goddess created me based on her own figure, the perfect form of beauty. I look like a human being, and the angel ring and wings have been removed as something unnecessary. Well, for me, it’s easier to move around, so I have no complaint about that. I also received convenient unique abilities from the goddess. A special summoning technique to connect different worlds, and an ability to copy skills to help the summoned hero.
But no matter how you look at it, the battle situation at that time was in favor of old man Vakala and Maria. The goddess did nothing when it was still manageable, and panicked after things happened. She was powerful, but her nature was that of a fool. If the world’s administrator is like that, the world is too pitiful, right? By the way, I was also pitiful that I had a boss like that. No matter how broad-minded I am, I would cause a rebellion or two if I’m forced to overwork for many years. As I said before, I betrayed her because of that. I secretly communicated with old man Vakala and Maria, telling them where I was going to summon the goddess.
『――!? Agalia, what is the meaning of this!?』
『Well, I just want to be on the side of the strong and reliable. To be honest, I can’t trust you now. I want you to deal with the Demon Kings, which you created by your own mistake, with your own hands. If you can do that, I will trust you again. Well, if you can, that is.』
On the promised day, on the continent of Judah, the front line of the battle, I stood next to old man Vakala and Maria as I faced the Goddess. There were no heroes or armies that the Goddess had prepared for me, and we were completely alone in this place. Well even if they were there, they would only get in the way, and I wanted to avoid further unnecessary sacrifices. I mean, I was an ally of mankind until then. Also, I put up an anti-god barrier to prevent the Goddess from escaping. But――
『How foolish. You lost sight of your position and misjudged the war situation…. Fine. I made small mistakes, but I will personally dispose of you and the Demon Kings. For making such a statement against me, you can regret it in your dying moment!』
――The Goddess, who seemed to be short-tempered, fell easily for the cheap provocation. ‘Hey, is she too drunk with her own power?’ I secretly thought so. Well, she was Goddess, so she was really strong. Originally, she was the one who stood at the top of all living creatures on this planet. But, it was completely different at that time. After all, the two Demon Kings who could stand on par with her were raised by her own hands.
『Kuhahaha. Hey, Vampire, what is that woman talking about? I’ve been having poor hearing recently, so I can’t hear very well. I felt like I heard a lot of negative words, such as dispose and regret.』
『Eh~? Maria doesn’t understand those scary words~. More importantly, Agalia, we will become the rulers of the world if we defeat that old woman, right? I hate lies, you know?』
The only chance for the goddess to win the war was to make old man Vakala and Maria fight each other, and then join the fray with all mankind’s forces. But it was too late for that. After all, I mediated between the two Demon Kings and formed an alliance with them.
『The promise is as I said before. You can rule the world, but you must never destroy humanity. And then, you will continue to be an enemy of mankind in moderation. That way, we will have a truly beautiful world where mankind and monsters are equal. Well, for me, it’s fine as long as I can live a happy life. I just want to get out of this black company as soon as possible.』
『Ahaha, then it’s okay~』
『Heh, I understand.』
『How foolish, Agalia. They are just monsters, you know? Do you really think they will keep such a promise?』
『I think they will. Unlike the previous demon kings who only thought about rampaging, they have reason and humanity. I say this because I have seen them with my own eyes, heard them with my own ears, and communicated with them. I think the bug in the system worked not only on the strength, but also on the personality. Well, if you, the system’s source of power, die, such a system will disappear completely. Too powerful Demon King won’t be born anymore, so you can rest in peace.』
『Hey, can we do it already~? Unlike that old woman, I don’t have that much free time~』
『God―― no, she’s the former ruler now. Woman, we will moderately take over your era. Are you ready to die?』
『You damn insects!』
And just like that, the Goddess was defeated, and the world fell into the hands of the Demon Kings. Happy ending.
『Can I have this woman’s corpse? Her personality is the worst, but I like her strength. I want to turn her into an undead and have her serve me as my right-hand man.』
『Eww, Vakala has bad taste~. With her personality, she will never turn out to be a decent person, you know? Also, her blood seems to be disgusting, so I don’t need her.』
『Heh, I guess a kid like you won’t understand the usefulness of this woman! Even though you’re a vampire, you’re still inexperienced.』
『…… Hah?』
『Hey, why are you guys fighting? Don’t forget about Love and Peace!』
Eh? It was not peaceful at all, you said? Well, the two of them started fighting and went on a rampage on a global scale for a while, but for me, the world has become a fun place, so it’s okay.
Besides, I felt a little responsible at that time, so I did my job properly. Mankind would be annihilated if I left them alone, so I negotiated with old man Vakala and Maria to limit the place of the battle to the continent of Judah. Then, I transferred all non-villainous living creatures that lived in that area to another world. I even went out of my way to pick them up when the battle was over, you know? I’m proud to say that I did at least the minimal amount of work, hehe!
However, the battle between old man Vakala and Maria certainly had a tremendous impact on the world. The continent of Judea, which was the largest continent in the world at that time, was transformed into a small isolated island. Furthermore, the climate of the surrounding area also changed drastically, turning it into a disastrous area where some kind of energy always swirls around.
Good people and monsters were evacuated, so it was good, but the influence spread to other neighboring continents, causing some continental drift―― I will be honest, I would be lying if I said I had no regret about this choice. I was overworked opening the gate to another world, every day and every night! Heh heh, I slightly regretted defeating the goddess! I was so traumatized by this labor that I decided that I would never open the gate for ordinary things again.
Ah, it’s not my responsibility, but when I was picking up the evacuated people from another world, a mad scientist seemed to be mixed among the refugees and entered this world. As I mentioned before, I was so exhausted, so I pretended I didn’t notice them. Don’t worry, one scientist from another world won’t have any effect!
After that, the Great Eight Demons was formed. At that time, Rimudo, who was famous at that time, was invited, and an unidentified metal golem Zex was nominating himself as a candidate even though he wasn’t invited. There were also various Demon Kings who are now deceased. I couldn’t stop being excited at that time. Hehehe.
