Chapter 336
Black Rain
"Regent Ferda......."
Gokma called out to Ferda first, and Ferda looked at him with a fed-up expression.
"Truly tenacious, you too......."
"You succeeded in resisting Godwin-nim."
Godwin's birth had been prevented, yet he wore an expression as if he were enjoying it.
W̄е b_n̊оv̆е̇ĺ_ Е̄n̆ ù m̃à
Is this the demons' way of thinking, or is it that creepy expression of love?
Whatever. It doesn't matter.

What Ferda had to do was simple.
"I'm sorry, but my body is at its limit anyway. There's no need to hold hostility toward a body that will vanish soon enough once time passes."
"So you're keeping your promise with Blancaros."
Ferda said sarcastically.

"Yes. I promised him I'd end it with the World Tree matter. But everything depends on interpretation, doesn't it?"
"......."
"At first, I intended to make you the Demon King and then die. If that damn whore hadn't revealed her ambition, it would've been a perfectly plausible situation."
"So you'll make me the Demon King somehow?"

"No. That's impossible. To do that, I'd have to deceive Mesabosk again, and that's impossible for me as I am now. And......."
He looked at his own body.

"I can no longer function as a demon either."
Healing no longer worked; his life was like a candle before the wind.
"He accounted for everything until the very end. That is why I...... accept my end."
Far East, a chaotic dimensional gate opening from beyond.
From there, black rain began to pour down.
No, looking closely, it wasn't rain.

'Monsters.'
Monsters created and produced within subspace were pouring out incessantly from within a massive hole.
"What have you done?"
"It is my end, Regent."
Gokma also looked up at that place and smiled faintly.
"I can no longer control them."
È n̆um̄ а..ǐ d̀
"......."
"Monsters that have lost their mother body will entrust themselves to instinct and become even more destructive beings. That is why, if I were to disappear, someone to succeed the mother body was needed."

Gokma shifted his gaze to Ferda and signaled with his eyes.
"The role that must do that was precisely the Demon King."
The man who should have become the Demon King, Ferda, was their master.
"So I have to become the Demon King?"
Ẃе b̊_ńо̇v̆ e l̊ Е̄ ñ ü m а̀
"It would be nice if that were possible....... There is no longer any power to make you the Demon King. So the monsters will also become uncontrollable."
"Everything will return to futility as you bastards wish."
Gokma listened to those words and laughed hollowly.
Then he bowed his head politely.

"I pray that his death was not in vain."
It was a terribly contradictory statement for a demon to utter.

"You're the ones who say all life is meaningless, yet you say something like that?"
Gokma smiled one last time.
"That is why you said struggling is beautiful."
Gokma's form completely vanished.
The words he left behind lingered in Ferda's ears.
For some reason, it felt like he could understand those words.

Ferda raised his gaze to the sky again.
The monsters within the black hole were still pouring down.

Before the heat from the demons' scheme at the World Tree had even cooled.
In the Devil's Land beyond the Far East, rain made of monsters was falling.
At a glance, since it was far away, no immediate problem arose, but that too was only a matter of time.
Ẇе̃b̃noṽ еl Е́nu mа̀
The people of Hestia Village all witnessed that sight.
"Black rain has started to fall."

"Just what reason could there be for such a thing to happen?"
Among the Far East's ghost stories, there is absolutely no mention of black rain falling.
They wanted to somehow understand this situation where a new ghost story had been added.
So they tried to forcibly fit it into something that made sense.

"They say the balance collapsed because the World Tree crumbled."
"The Sign of Calamity, the first one is black rain! It's exactly as Alte-nim prophesied!"
Because the foolish citizens try to understand this situation even in that way.
Measures must be taken as quickly as possible, even by a single day.

The first place contact was made was Blancaros, who handles the Grand Council.
Ferda urgently told him about what would happen in the Far East.
W е̄b̈ nо̌v̇е l̈ E ṅů_m̊á
As an organization that claimed to handle incidents and accidents across the entire continent, the answer was clear.
-I am aware of the severity of this situation. As you say, I will try convening an emergency session.
It was credible because it was Blancaros himself speaking, not his Tongue.
"And although Gokma vanished before my eyes just now......."
Ferda had seen it with his own two eyes, but at the same time, he had felt it.
That Gokma had left this world and returned to the Void.

Something in his heart was certain of it, but Ferda was even afraid to believe that.
When he presented the possibility that he might still be alive, Blancaros answered thus.
-Gokma is dead. I felt it clearly.
Gokma was Godwin's Spawn, yet simultaneously Blancaros's Spawn as well.
It was natural that he would feel his death.
The fact he had tried to deny was also revealed with certainty.
E n̆u m̄а̂.ĩ d
Gokma died.
Thinking that, the path ahead became bleak.

Good grief.
I thought everything would be resolved if only that bastard Gokma died, but now that he's dead, it's become even more bleak.
'He really went and caused trouble until the very end.'"
The gate opened in the Far East still hasn't closed, and is spilling out its contents.
Ën ù m̌ а̃. i d
It looked as if a giant creature called dimension was vomiting up things it couldn't digest.
Continuing to watch that sight, a strange feeling arose.
'Was it really just trouble-making?'
Reflecting on what Gokma said, it sounded like he did it with the intention of somehow trying to stop it.

If that truly was his final consideration, then the reason they're pouring down from there would be to buy time in his own way.
'Why?'
Ё nům̌а . ї d
Aren't they humans who don't care what happens to this continent?
They said they received Sierra's help to turn it back into the World of Chaos, and accepted the Void.
'But that was nothing but a deception.'
Godwin deceived everyone.
The reason he did this was for a single woman.
Gokma knew that intent, and did so as not to ruin Godwin's end.

He didn't look like he was throwing lies until the very end.
'That must have been a task that had to be resolved somehow.'
That's why he was dropping those massive chunks from the sky to turn everything into mush.
For some unknown reason, I could no longer think otherwise.
I spent too much time with Gokma.

"Good grief......."
Erika, who came as the Blue Eye representative.

She looked at the Far East with a face that couldn't hide her shock.
Who wouldn't be like that, seeing those calamity chunks falling on the Far East?
"Those things...... will they overflow the Far East and then cross over to here?"
Ferda nodded.

"That is what I think."
"It will probably happen that way."
Monsters.
To Dragon Spawns, monsters are easy opponents.

Even if they were at a level to cover the plains, they were confident enough to guarantee victory.
But having that countless number pouring down like rain is different.
Е ǹu mа̌
How can one say it's easy?
"Gokma said......."
Ferda had no choice but to talk about Gokma.
"He said the role of controlling those monsters must be done by the Demon King."
"Demon King......."
Erika deeply suspected Gokma's ulterior motive.

"It could be a scheme to somehow revive the Demon King even if he dies."
Of course, Ferda had to think that way too.
Because he was a damn demon.
But in his heart, something kept saying not to think that way.
He forcibly erased that thought.
"Just in case...... if you know a way to create a Demon King......."
Еn ǔ m̊ а̂
He knew it was something that must not happen, but the situation was desperate.
Erika tried to find a last resort in preparation for the worst-case scenario.

"He said there was no way anymore. Or he took it to his grave."
"I see."
Relief showed on her face inwardly, yet a bleak mood was revealed in her expression.
Ferda felt the same, so it was only natural.

Just as an uncomfortable silence was settling, Isabella urgently entered the office.
She is Hestia's Administrator.
"I apologize for interrupting your conversation, but it seems you must resolve this quickly. Public sentiment is currently very bad. Opinions are leaning toward evacuating, saying we must escape the Far East."
Since ominous signs won't cease, fear is accelerating, and it's only natural it leads to departure.

"At a time like this, perhaps Valdrova-nim will shine."
Erika spoke with a confident expression, as if she thought it was a good move.
Е̄n̄ ù m a
"If the one called the Guardian of the Far East steps forward directly to stabilize public sentiment, we might be able to hide the severity of the situation even a little."
"That is......."
Isabella already knew the situation, so she knew that trump card was a trap.
She watched Ferda's expression and held back her words.
Even as an Iorga Spawn, she was Hestia's Administrator.
"Of course she will step forward."

Ferda cunningly added.
"However, rather than standing before the public directly, we will put up a body double."
"A body double?"
"There is already a famous body double."
Valdrova had already been showing her face occasionally, capturing the hearts of Hestia's people.
However, she still feared standing before the masses, so she would put up a body double skilled at that to wave her hand.

'Penelope.'
A third-rate demon worse than trash.

For now, she was a means to calm the situation even a little.
Right now, she must be riding the return carriage and coming back with the others.
There were many ways to make her return faster, so time wasn't an issue.
"But that's still just a stopgap. If we can't deal with the monsters, public sentiment will turn around too."
Е n um а̄ .і̆ d
"That's right."
"I will search for a solution to this situation in my own way. I'll also help buy a little time for the alliance's survival."
"Thank you."
Exchanging final farewells like that, he moved with Isabella.

The time-buying Erika spoke of was standing on Hestia's platform as an Iorga Spawn.
She spoke with the authority of an intellect that has existed since the primordial era, saying she grasps this situation and will strive for the continent's stability.

Of course, that alone is insufficient.
Ferda contacted Escolleia's Chancellor, Bernard Wayne.
When he explained the situation, he answered as if it were simple.
-Regent Ferda-nim is the one who once saved my life. It is an honor to be able to repay that grace like this.
"How do you plan to handle it?"
-Among my connections, there are quite a few agitators from the Empire. Fallen noble scions take lessons from those agitators and aim to regain their status by becoming representatives of the people. That's why most of them are skilled at calming situations.

Ferda also knew a little about how agitators calm situations.
"So we have to lie."
-Sometimes a simple lie works better than an explanation the people can't understand. That is the lord's job.
Ferda agreed with those words.
If the territory shakes, the people ultimately have nowhere to lean.
Anyway, the speaker was Penelope, not Valdrova, so there would be no hesitation about such lies.

A demon more useful in many ways than expected.
"I will never forget this grace."

Ferda let go of the crystal ball with those final words.
'We can stop the immediate public sentiment.'
Erika must be giving a speech in Hestia by now.
After that, Bernard Wayne and Penelope will collaborate to suppress the fire they lit again.
Е̄_n u m̄ а. іd
'Then the Grand Council emergency convocation will start and we can begin suppressing the situation in earnest.'
The plan drew out like a very smooth scenario.
But every individual under the world is nothing but a trivial worm, and Ferda was no exception.
As if to say not all lives go as one wishes, a contact came to Ferda.

-Give up on gathering people for the Grand Council.
Blancaros said that.
Ẃẽbñо v̆ ё l̂ Èn̆ uḿ.а̂
Ferda was struck speechless.
A surging emotion welled up first.
"You're saying you won't help me?"
-On the contrary. I'm saying this precisely because I want to help you.
It seemed like a contradictory statement, but hearing the next words, he could understand why he said that.
-Unless you want the fact that you are Godwin spread to the world, you must not do something like gather people in one place during this situation.

Godwin.
The fact that he brought up that word so nonchalantly, and that someone mentioned it, struck him speechless again.
"Who threatened to reveal that?"
There were suspects.
Storeus the Storm Dragon and Archmage Erdes, who tried to kill him.
He thought one of those two must have threatened him.

-The Arken Empire you belong to.
But it was a completely different person from whom Ferda expected.

A person who should have definitely died.
At the same time, a person Ferda had concluded was alive.
-That Emperor said so.
It was Godfrey Arken.
