Im Not A Demon Lord's
Chapter 5's
What happened next was the texture of the cold metal he held in his hand …
At her first touch, Elizabeth felt as if she had sunk into a world of steel.
The roaring machine, the hydraulic presses hammer, and the molten metal flow out of the large container furnace…
This is a temple and a machine paradise.
Materialism world.
Lowering his head, he saw characters flowing like molten steel as they gradually appeared on the silvery-white cover. At the same time, the book's name was engraved in the depths of his mind, even leaving a direct imprint on the quantum core beneath the frontal lobe of his brain.
“Gospel for Synthetic Creatures”.
This is the name of the book.
“Open, and you will see heavenly truth!”
“Open, and a new world will open right before your eyes!”
“Open, and eternal machine will keep an eye on you!”
The voice of the freak continued and continued like a cresendo.
Like an aria an opera, it was full of inexplicable beauty, filled with charm.
Elizabeth could not control herself at all.
Trembling, he carefully unfolded the cover.
Suddenly, his quantum core started spinning wildly due to overload.
The bio-mechanical parts that had been inactive in his body rebooted one after another.
As if endowed with wisdom itself, each biomechanical passage begins to madly transmit endless amounts of information back to its core.
And, as if attacked by something, a momentary freeze occurred in his quantum core.
After the freeze was over, the only message sent to Elizabeth's brain was a hymn.
“Bel reads once. The thrust is given to the lever. Valves and engines are on! ”
“Bel rings twice. Button pressed. Generator is turned on, turbine is burned, and life is injected. ”.
“Bel reads three times..”
“Song your praise!”
“Machine, praise! Steel, praise! ”
“Amighty spirit of all machines!”
“You are the God who created everything, and the apocalypse that wiped out everything that existed!”
“More advantages. Great is beauty! ”
“Aw! It burned! Cast!”
“Steel is eternity. Machines are eternal life! “
Without a second thought, Elizabeth was filled with all this wisdom.
He really gave up on this glorious hymn.
Because he knew that he had discovered heavenly truths and learned about the true Savior.
It is the spirit of all possibilities.
A god born in steel, an immortal soul in the name of a machine.
His heart was big enough to accept all his followers. His supreme strength was enough to protect all his followers.
He is one, and he is also 10,000 …
… Existence and voidness!
With her trembling body, Elizabeth held the scriptures in her hands and said godly, “The flesh is weak, but the steel is eternal!”
How beautiful the hymn is.
What a sacred compliment!
…
Ling PingAn looked towards the foreign woman holding “Stellaris: Setting for Synth Ascension” in both her hands and standing in front of her, and who suddenly swore in a way filled with a sense of childishness from a person. past puberty, “The flesh is weak, but the steel remains!”
Is that necessary? Ling PingAn could not help but feel ridiculed at him. “However, this is just a game..”.
But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that as big as this world was, what was wrong with having some strange inhabitants?
Why should he care so much about the behavior of others?
Sell the book, get the money, and eat another bowl of Douhua tomorrow morning – this is the right thing to do!
Ling PingAn approached the woman and continued with a false dialogue, “Steel is materialistic, because the machine is a heavenly truth!”
This is steampunk!
It was the Steel Buddha!
It is the Father, the Blessed Virgin, and the Holy Spirit!
“Billions of towers is its glory. The roar of the machine is his sermon! “
“We have to walk in its path, such as machines running on the ground, roar of machines, and casting steel!”
Waw! You don't say, this trick is really useful.
The foreign woman started shaking just listening to him.
He seemed to have jumped deep into his cosplay.
Ling PingAn felt a deep sense of satisfaction just by looking at it.
The customer is his Lord, and he may need this foreign woman to visit his shop more often in the future.
Especially for the purpose of attracting more customers to spend money.
Ling PingAn said softly, “Machining genitals are not free. Like the roar of an engine, turbine activation requires fuel! ”
“So, son, are you willing to pay the price to get this gospel enlightenment and thanks to steel?” Ling PingAn guided him methodically. From his point of view, selling this book only at a price was truly a gift.
…
“How steel is materialistic because machining is a heavenly truth!”
The voice of the strange person was majestic yet strange. It resonated in Elizabeth's electronic cochlea as it was transformed into a stream of information, broadcast from her quantum core, and heard live by her brain.
This is steampunk!
It was the Steel Buddha!
It is the Father, the Blessed Virgin, and the Holy Spirit!
“Billions of towers is its glory. The roar of the machine is his sermon! “
“We have to walk in its path, such as machines running on the ground, roar of machines, and casting steel!”
The majestic chant prompted Elizabeth to completely fall into her spell and submit.
His quantum core and all his bio-machines were completely defeated by this glorious sermon.
This made Elizabeth's already mechanically excited mind again…
… Like a fully charged motor, and an engine full of fuel.
He trembled and became very excited.
At this moment, the voice of a strange person once again resounded in his electronic cochlea.
“Machining genitals are not priceless things, such as engine roar, turbine activation requires fuel!”
“So... son, are you willing to pay the price to get this gospel enlightenment and steel blessing?”
Elizabeth felt a voice that had been transformed into a stream of information. As she trembled, she replied, “I'm willing!”
“I'm willing to trade everything for it!”
He held the Gospel tightly in his hand.
Because that's absolute truth.
It is also the last hope of mankind.
Therefore, he lifted his head and pleaded like a baby bird staring at his mother, “Please, you must pass this Gospel to me!”
…
“She is completely obsessed with her cosplay!” Ling PingAn looked at the foreign woman before him and sighed.
Since he was already so immersed in his game, it would not be good if he did not act according to his dialogue.
So Ling PingAn smiled and said, “Son, in order to obtain the gospel of this machine and thanks to this steel, you must offer the most precious treasure you have for you.”
He chuckled and stretched out his hand, “., Please!”
…
Looking at the hand that had been extended to her, Elizabeth's quantum core was analyzing it wildly.
“., please to..”.
Dollars?
Money?!
Elizabeth looked at the freak, staring at the murky eye sockets that were in her skull hidden in the mist with a hint of starlight gradually shining down on them.
His quantum core immediately sounded the alarm.
He finally understood that he was now facing a life and death situation.
The existence of this freak is probably Diablo among Diablos. He finally showed his fangs.
Past cases have all proved that for Diablos or similar existences that come from nothingness, their actions, their thinking, their purpose, their purpose, and even their existence is not something that can be understood and interpreted by humans.
Anyone who frivolously wants to understand them only has one final — distorted by their delirious thoughts.
Will such an existence demand money?
Or in other words, is it money that he really wants, money that humans understand?
Holding the Gospel for the Synthetic Beings tightly in her hands, Elizabeth began to pant.
At this moment, his quantum nucleus suddenly sent a stream of information to his brain.
Upon seeing the flow of information, Elizabeth took a deep breath. He had no other choice but to accept the option given by his quantum nucleus.
From his body, he took out the Quartz of Diablo.
The light blue crystal was round and smooth, artistically beautiful.
From his wrist, he also took off the watch he always carried.
Then, trembling, he handed over these two items, the only items he could take at the moment.
“I'm sorry!” Elizabeth tried her best to relax as she spoke to this freak with unparalleled anxiety. “I don't have the amount of money you want..”.
It's true he doesn't have it.
Because he had no idea about what kind of money this freak had asked for before.
He also could never imagine what kind of existence required that much money?
He could only risk his life and try it.
Hopefully, this freak will behave like his core guess.
He would be willing to accept his humble offering and promise to give her the opportunity to collect the money she wanted.
“I can only guarantee you these two items for now.”
“I hope to get your permission that you will sell this Gospel, heavenly truth scripture machine, to me ..”
“I promise and swear that in the future, I will bring enough money to repay your kindness today!”
This is the only way to survive.
Tell this freak that he is willing to take on this debt and will vow to bring enough money to pay it back in the future.
…
Ling PingAn looked at the things he had handed to him.
A cyan crystal the size of a goose egg was made from an unknown material.
The part that looks like a watch.
However, he could not understand the letters and numbers engraved on the watch.
After all, foreign language majors in the Federal Empire were always chosen by only diplomats or employees of foreign trade companies.
For a study slacker like Ling PingAn who graduated from an ordinary B-level university, the one he recognized the most was 24 foreign letters.
In addition, his impression and understanding of the foreign nation is very concerning.
This is not something he can help.
Ling PingAn looked at the foreign woman.
Her gentle and touching face somewhat softened her heart.
“However, the Federation has been a courtesy since ancient times.” He thought, “In addition, this foreign woman does not look like the type of person who will deny her debts.”.
Therefore, he nodded.
He took the things he gave up.
Next, he retrieved a notebook from the counter.
He asked, “What's your name?”
“Elizabeth...,” she replied after hesitating for a moment.
“Where are you from?”
“United States..”.
“Mm?” Ling PingAn frowned. He had never heard of this country before. However, for the matter of a foreign country, not many general public federations could recognize all of them.
So he shrugged and recorded it in the notebook.
Next, he looked at her and handed her a pen, “Please write your name here,” she said as she pointed to the empty space in the notebook.
Although Ling PingAn was really going to let him take the book and ask him to bring the money tomorrow, one should always be on guard to protect himself.
Since then, accepting the promise made complete sense.
…
Elizabeth nervously looked at the notebook she handed him.
In his eyes, he saw a pair of evil eyes appear in the notebook.
Inside his electronic cochlea, a deep cry echoed.
He took the pen that was handed to him.
He knew that this might be a contract as depicted in the legends.
However, he had no choice but to passively accept it.
Therefore, he took out a pen and left his name in the notebook.
Elizabeth.
When he finished writing the last letter, he lost all his strength as if he was experiencing exhaustion.
But his entire body was also filled with excitement like he had been saved from a terrible situation.
The freak saw him sign his name and then put down the Quartz of Diablo and the watch he handed over to a place that looked like a drawer.
Then he looked towards her again. The small amount of starlight within his turbid eye sockets slowly faded away.
“Remember to return and redeem them as soon as possible,” urges the freak.
Elizabeth nodded her head forcefully and then asked, “Sorry, how can I get the money you asked for?”
This was the question he was most worried about.
Is this money something that humans can understand?
…
“Sorry, how can I get the money you requested?”
Listening to this question from the foreign woman in front of him, he realized that he was still immersed in his own world.
However, because he wanted to earn money, Ling PingAn would not rashly destroy his fantasy.
After arranging his language for a moment, Ling PingAn said with a smile, “Of course, it used machinery and steel to snatch it from Diablos and their minions!”
The background of Stellaris is the rise of the Ancient Diablos in the future universe.
Along with the rise of this Ancient Diablos, there were also Diablos enemies returning from distant galaxies.
Humanity caught in the middle is forced to follow stories from three main paths: Synthetic Ascension, Psionic Ascension, and Genetic Ascension.
However, in reality, the so-called Diablos and ancient alien civilizations were simply ATMs of players and equipment providers.
Many players rely on working in the game to make a living.
…
“For sure, it used machinery and steel to snatch them from Diablos and their minions!”
The majestic voice was heard directly in Elizabeth's electronic cochlea and passed directly to her brain.
It snatched him like lightning.
His entire body suddenly rose into euphoria.
“Indeed... core assessment true!”
“Dia...,” Elizabeth looked at the freak in awe, “definitely the enemy of Void Diablo!”
Therefore, Elizabeth bowed respectfully, “You will, I will obey!”
Although he is still unclear about what exactly the money he wants.
Yet…
Defeating Diablos, cleaning up their minions, and returning the world to the right track are the highest ideals of every human being.
If he could achieve this, even if he cooperated with an even more terrifying existence, what difference would it make?
…
“You will, I will obey!”
Looking at the foreign woman in front of him who seemed to be on the verge of going crazy in her cosplay, Ling PingAn shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, “Alright then!”
He looked outside the door where the thick fog remained.
After thinking for some time, Ling PingAn took out a flashlight from the drawer and handed it to him, “Outside it is a bit foggy, so take this ..
…
Elizabeth took the flashlight that this freak handed her.
He doesn't really understand its function.
This backward creation from a long time ago had long since been eliminated before Void Storm.
But he still took it.
Then he bowed to the freak once more and left this strange and mysterious bookstore with the book held tightly in his hand.
A thick fog had enveloped the entire world, making it unable to discern which direction.
In a trance, Elizabeth involuntarily lit a flashlight in her hand.
A dazzling light illuminated his steps. The path in front of him gradually became clear.
“So...” thought Elizabeth, “... to leave this place, once had to get tokens and permission from the bookstore owner..”.
“This flashlight is proof by itself.”.
“Maybe ...,” he saw the flashlight in his hand, “... I can use it to go into the fog once again to seek help from the bookstore owner and get his help!”
He held the flashlight and walked in the direction from where he came.
Amidst the light, the path gradually became clearer.
Quickly, he arrived at the place where he had stepped on the Descendant of Demon Moon.
On the ground, the once colossal Descendant of Demon Moon had vanished, leaving not even the slightest trace of evidence.
She's looking. The light in the depths of the fog seemed to have been extinguished.
The whole world is empty and dark.
There was only light from the flashlight in his hand.
