In the beginning, the Earth God Atlagus created the land.
The Fire God Agnam bestowed the power of fire on the ground.
The Water God Aklia created a stream of water on the land.
The Wind God Wyrm gave a great wind to the sky.
Day and night were born in the hands of the Light God Raidolg and the Dark God Dagula.
In this finished land, the God of Life, Philia sowed the seeds of life.
Like this, the first life form, Man is born. Over these pure humans, the Gods bestowed their blessings. With this, emotions are born in Man. At the same time, a life other than Man was born.
This is the origin of Remfilia.
“So it says ..... Well, this is a myth passed down in the country.”
“Hmm.”
The second floor of the Steel Fish Shop. At the end of the room, Shion had Zweita listen to the content he had investigated today.
After lying on the bed with a seemingly unconcerned look, Zweita simply turned her eyes on Shion while still lying face up on the bed.
“The one who created Zweita is Shion.”
“It's true.”
While on that topic, the one who created Shion was the Demon God.
By this point, he was cut off from the creation myth of Remfilia.
The goddess Philia who created the life of Remphilia and governed the flow of life.
If he unilaterally supported Humans so he would even lend his strength in the Hero Summoning, then it felt as if he cared about the life flow of Monsters as long as they were somehow dealt with.
After all, even Monsters, with the exception of a few special cases, were part of the way of life in the land of Remfilia.
Or, could it be that there was some kind of rule to make it impossible to interfere with it?
Although Gods exist, inconsistencies result in myths. Or perhaps, are the parts that Man does not understand resolved by that inconsistency?
According to the latest interpretation on the territory of mankind, Monsters are defined as traitors who oppose the Gods, and say that the seed of lower life is the Monster.
“...... Lower, huh..”.
Shion sighed thinking that since this kind of interpretation was allowed to slide, the voice of the people in the temple saying that Monsters should be destroyed would definitely become louder.
Furthermore, the Hero's existence finally strengthened the temple's statement.
According to legend Heroes—─
To oppose the invasion of Demon King Shuclous, the priests of the Great Altlis Temple sought the salvation of the Life God Philia and prayed.
Answering their prayers, Philia leads a powerful life from another world here.
A young man named Ryuuya Kusanagi stands up for the sake of the people and travels to defeat the Demon King.
And then, along with his comrades and his holy sword charged with the power of the Gods, Hero Ryuuya obliterated Demon King Shuklous.
Moreover, after also eliminating the Great Demon King Gramfia which was the root of all evil, he brought peace to the world.
“...... Muu”
It was fine since it had gone that far, but wherever he investigated, the details of how the Hero Ryuuya knew about the Black Continent and Gramfia were not written anywhere.
However, the Monsters of the Black Continent were different in every aspect when compared to the Monsters of the Shutaia Continent.
It's not just about strength, but once the differences in the chain of command and ecology become clear, Shion has that interpretation.
In that case, one possibility has emerged.
It was, likely that the Monster himself was created in the Shutaia── Continent that is, the Demon King Shuklous was probably the original Demon King.
As evidence to reinforce the idea, there was the existence of Status Confirmation Magic.
What only Heroes and Demon Lords can use, there is no reason why Heroes won't use it against Demon Lords.
Besides, Shuclous might tell him as the Demon King. And then, there was the mystery about the Monsters that only existed in the Shutaia Continent and not in the Black Continent.
If the Demon King who created it was different, then such a difference was understandable.
But, if that's the case, a different problem arises but ...... This was another thing that seemed like it could not be solved with Shion's current knowledge.
“Hei.”
“Nn?”
“Mr Shion, what do you want to do?
Shion's mind is interrupted by Zweita's harsh words calling out to him.
What he wants to do.
Naturally, it was to avoid war.
He did not want any hindrance to the growth of the Black Continent to occur.
…… However, what he wanted to do after that.
After growth.
Even after touring around the royal capital like this, there was no information about the Hero Summoning. However, he might appear at some time.
Whether he can achieve effective preventive measures at that time.
“I ....”.
He's thinking.
As Demon King Varvatos, what could he do for the sake of Monsters.
If everything can be managed without having to engage with Humans, then it would be fine.
It would be fine if he only focused on the domestic affairs of the Black Continent. However, his instincts whispered that it would not be as good as that.
He needs to know the reason why Gramfia was destroyed.
He needs to know the truth of the legend of the Hero.
He needs to unravel the mystery of Alva.
If he did not do that, then the Hero would most likely come once more.
“I ..... want to know the truth.”
“After you know it, will something change?”
“That, probably won't change.”
Even if he knew the truth, perhaps nothing would change.
The Hero might appear and he would have to fight against him in the end. Even if that was the case, it was no reason for him to sit back and wait for it to happen.
The Demon God said it.
He will perish for the Hero, and if he wants something more than that, it will depend on himself.
In that case, there must be a way to avoid the conclusion of the words.
“...... It's not gonna change if I don't do this.”
Zweita looked at Shion attentively as she muttered that.
While still having the usual displeased face, with a clear voice about to reach Shion's ears, Zweita answered Shion's words.
“Then, Zweita will comply. Zweita will clear the path that Mr. Shion wants to go down, and will always be your support.”
“Ya, thank you, Zweita.”
Zweita's face turned slightly red on the thanks she said from the bottom of her heart. However, in the next second, he noticed someone's steps up the stairs, and jumped off the bed.
