Chapter 1073: Situation in Another World

According to the old pope, where they are now is located on the Holy Mountain, and there is a kingdom at the foot of the Holy Mountain, which is currently the most powerful resistance force in mankind. The old pope's original idea was to invite them to that kingdom, and then the other party would welcome them.

But before that, Duanmuhuai found a room and called everyone together.

“Okay, I know you are in a hurry, and I am in a hurry too, but now the situation is like hell!”

Duanmu Huai paced back and forth in front of the students unhappily, with an angry look on his face.

 “Is there anything else you want to say?”

　　　…………”

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s question, the students also looked uneasy. After a moment, Kumiko Huangzen raised her hand.

“Teacher, can we never go back?”

 “You’re kidding me, we’ll definitely find a way back.”

“Then…teacher, who are you?”

As he spoke, Kumiko Huangmae looked at the others. When they were transported to this world, everyone discovered that the classmates they spent time with had a side they didn't know about...

"Forget it, at this point, there's no point in hiding it, so I'll just tell you."

 Duanmu Huai didn't have any spirit of confidentiality, so he quickly introduced the situation about the Tribunal and the three parties. After hearing Duanmu Huai's introduction, these students were also shocked.

“The Tribunal is an organization that protects mankind? Are Teacher Duanmu and Mary a member of it?”

 “Irina-san is actually an angel?”

“Tashiro-san, Naruse-san, and Maria-san are demons? This is so cool!”

Somewhat unexpectedly, after listening to Duanmu Huai's explanation, these students became excited - oh, speaking of which, they are now in the second grade of middle school.

No one doubts that Duanmu Huai and the others are lying. Although Duanmu Huai's statement is indeed incredible, in the previous battle against the temple guards, the girls did show extraordinary and unimaginable fighting power. In addition, these Children are all modern people, and they are often influenced by novels or animations, so they quickly accepted this fact.

Several girls who had a good relationship with Irina Ziteng now ran to Irina's side and curiously reached out to touch her wings.

 The boys were also very excited at the moment.

“Teacher, that old man said that we are brave, which means we also have great power?”

 “Oh, what a brat.”

Hearing the excited discussion of these boys, Duanmu Huai snorted, then he stretched out his hand and knocked on the table.

“Everyone, please be quiet! Everyone is so stupid, can’t you see it?”

"Why?"

 Duanmu Huai is still very intimidating. After hearing his roar, the other students immediately sat down and shut up, looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what they said wrong.

“Do you still remember why the old guy summoned us? What did he say?”

　　　…………”

Facing Duanmu Huai’s question, everyone was silent for a moment, and then Duanmu Huai randomly named a boy.

 “You answer it!”

"Yes! Teacher! He said that humans in this world are threatened by demons and are on the verge of extinction, so he is asking for our help to destroy the demons and protect mankind!"

 Speaking of this, the boy also looked excited. He seemed to have read a lot of similar light novels and animations.

Hearing the other party’s answer, Duanmu Huai laughed ferociously.

 “Heh, why, you feel excited, don’t you?”

“Well...not really, but it’s really awesome, isn’t it?”

Hearing the boy's answer, the other boys nodded. This is normal. Protecting mankind, fighting against the devil, saving the world - which man doesn't have such a fantasy.

“Well, you are so excited when someone asks you to die. If this were an exam, you would be out immediately.”

 Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai looked solemn, and the others were also startled.

 “Send to death?”

"Nonsense, didn't you just say it yourself? The old guy summoned us here just to let us fight against the devil. This means war, which means you have to go to the battlefield to fight. Why, you think it's easy for you? Can you survive on the battlefield?! The game also has GAMEOVER, you don’t think you can beat it in one life, do you?”

　　　…………”

Hearing this, the boys who were excited just now suddenly calmed down as if a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads.

 Perhaps they have played the game so much that they have forgotten that this is not a game, but reality. Instead of controlling the characters in the game to pass the level, they have to go into battle themselves and fight!

Facing Duanmuhuai’s words, other students were also frightened.

“Yes, but that old man looks very kind and gentle.”

"This is nonsense. They are begging you to die. Of course you have to have a better attitude. Do you think they will say, go die for us? Do you think you will help such people? I I can tell you that people in this world will definitely bow down to you, respect you very much, and be very friendly to you. But this is not unconditional! Because in their eyes, you are brave men who have to fight the enemy to protect them! That’s why they like you so much! Give me a little self-awareness. There is a saying in my country that if there is nothing to do, you will be a traitor or a thief. You should remember this when you enter the society in the future. If there are unfamiliar people, just plain If he treats you well for no reason, then he must be after something from you!"

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai patted the table.

“And here, they are after your life! Do you understand?!”

"…………yes……"

 “Speak louder, haven’t you eaten yet?!”

 Strictly speaking, I did not eat it.

"yes!!"

　　Although it was already dinner time and everyone’s stomachs were growling with hunger, they still mustered up their energy and responded loudly.

"very good."

Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction, then turned around.

 “Kitten, Mio, how is the situation over there?”

At this moment, not far from Duanmuhuai, Tacheng Kitty and Naruse Mio are constructing the devil's teleportation circle. After all, the demon world where the demon lives is also a kind of different world. Since the demon can use this teleportation circle to travel back and forth between the demon world and the human world, logically speaking, it should also work in this world.

 But unfortunately...

　　　…………”

Tacheng Xiaomao shook his head, and Naruse Mio also looked frustrated.

 “Sorry, uncle, it doesn’t seem to work.”

 “What’s the reason?”

"It may be too far, it may be that the magic power is not enough, or there may be something that blocks our induction... In short, we cannot sense the teleportation array originally located in our world."

 “Is there any specific solution?”

“This...I have no solution. If the teacher is here, maybe he can come up with something..."

 “What did Fulilian teach you...”

Looking at the speechless Naruse Mio, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, and Naruse Mio lowered her head.

"The teacher only taught me basic magic. She said that it is enough for me to practice this for now, and I will have to practice it for thirty to fifty years before moving on to the next step of teaching, because I have no talent..."

The more Naruse Mio spoke, the softer her voice became, and she felt helpless towards Duanmu Huai, which is normal. From Fulian's point of view, Naruse Mio is basically a sixteen-year-old magically illiterate, so literacy is definitely much more difficult than that of an elementary school student starting from a young age. But thirty or fifty years is too long!

 Magic doesn’t work, what about science?

 Duanmu Huai opened his personal terminal. To be honest, although the other party said that this was a different world, he didn't really believe it. The reason is also very simple. He has already traveled through a different world once, and logically speaking, he will not travel a second time. In Duanmu Huai's opinion, this so-called alien world looks more like some kind of Earth-like alien civilization... If this is the case, then he might be able to contact the Tribunal.

 However, the result is the same.

 “Hmm…there seems to be some interference.”

Duanmu Huai frowned as he looked at the constantly beating data on his personal terminal. He was not an expert in this field, but it was obvious that his communication had been interfered with.

It goes without saying what happens next. Given the nature of tasks in the game, if there is interference, there will be sources of interference. Once the source of interference is eliminated, then maybe we can contact Lumière and the others.

 So the task now is to find the source of interference.

“Then, Teacher Duanmu, what should we do next?”

At this time, Juyangcai also mustered up the courage to interrupt Duanmuhuai's thinking and asked. After all, Duanmu Huai is full of courage, and the students dare not interrupt his thoughts casually, but Kiyoko is also a teacher after all... To be honest, facing the abnormal situation in front of her, she is certainly confused, but no matter what, Compared to the chaotic high school student, at least she is an adult.

“First determine the situation in this world, then see how this group of people intend to treat us, and then consider the next step.”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly. Although he was unhappy, Mary was right. They had just come to this world and knew almost nothing about the situation in this world. The only thing they knew was that the human race in this world seemed to be perishing soon. .

Of course, this alone is obviously not enough. Although the Inquisitor must protect mankind, he must also investigate the truth behind it.

However, Duanmuhuai prefers to solve problems with his fists rather than his brain. After all, he usually leaves this kind of role to Ann or Mary.

 Compared with using his brain, he still feels that it is more direct to use his fists.

 And based on Duanmu Huai’s experience, most of the time problems can be solved with fists.

“In short, you all need to be clear-headed and don’t let the other party make you wonder what your last name is in just a few words. Do you understand?”

Duanmuhuai gave another instruction to the students and made sure that they all listened to what he said, then he opened the door and stepped out of the room. There, the old bishop and the believers had been waiting. Seeing Duanmu Huai appear, an attentive smile appeared on the old bishop's face. However, before he could open his mouth, Duanmu Huai suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at him, then……

 “Click————!”

With the sudden flash of light like a camera flash, everyone was stunned, and it was only at this moment that Duanmu Huai put down his hand.

"Okay, now you can explain to us, but I want to remind you first, it's best not to talk nonsense."

"Of course, I will explain it thoroughly to all the brave men."

Perhaps knowing that Duanmu Huai and others would not be easily fooled by him, the old pope had no choice but to put down his original attitude and humbly explain their situation to everyone.

　　To put it simply, this world is somewhat similar to Naruse Mio's world. It is also divided into two factions: angels and demons. Then the angels of the gods and the demon army launched an eternal battle. As for humans, they become the one in the middle of the war between the two sides. Likewise, angels and demons will also use humans to enhance their own strength.

It’s just that with existences like Tacheng Kitty and Irina Purpledoor who were reincarnated as demons or angels, the angels mainly use guidance and guidance to allow the strong among humans to stand with them to fight against the demons. After all, once the devil wins, humans will be completely enslaved by the devil. In this case, humans will naturally stand in the angel camp and launch an offensive against the devil.

Of course, where there is white, there is black. Although most humans worship angels, there are still some humans who have fallen into accomplices of the devil for various reasons. They mixed with the blood of demons and became half-human and half-demon - well, in the world of Faerûn, they are actually similar to tieflings.

 Hence why humans call them demons.

 Finally, the angel successfully defeated the demon and sealed the seven demon kings.

As for why it was sealed rather than destroyed, it goes without saying. It has been said before that whether it is the gods and demons in the world of Faerûn or similar creatures from other worlds, they are essentially subspace creatures. If you want to completely destroy subspace creatures, unless you have the priesthood and ability of the God of Destruction like Duanmu Huai, you can completely destroy and absorb them. Otherwise, the most you can do is to expel them back to subspace. It will take another hundred years at most before they regain their strength. It will come back again.

Since it cannot be eliminated, the second best solution is to seal it. This is like putting subspace creatures in prison. It is at least a life sentence. Unless someone robs the prison, it is impossible to get out. If things go well, it won't be a problem for thousands of years. This is indeed a better way to make money than being expelled back to the subspace and resurrected after a hundred years.

 So expelling demons is actually a bad idea, because it can only guarantee peace for about a hundred years at most.

Of course, life imprisonment has a prerequisite, that is, no one will rob the prison.

Hey, unfortunately, these sealed demon kings also have lackeys, which are the demons mentioned before.

 After defeating the Demon King and sealing him, humans naturally carried out a large-scale purge operation against the Demon King. But a small number of demons escaped into the mountains, and then developed in the wilderness, established a kingdom of demons, and began to confront humans.

As the old pope said, the two sides were evenly matched at first, but as the demons were able to drive monsters, the balance of power was broken. But the problem now is not just that the devil can drive monsters, but more importantly... they have evidence that the devil has unlocked the devil's seal, and thus gained the power to drive monsters.

 Once all the seals of the seven demon kings are released, mankind will truly be annihilated.

 “Then why not ask the gods and angels for help?”

Hearing this, Kikyo Haruna asked doubtfully.

“According to your statement, didn’t angels and humans defeat the demons last time? Now that the demon king is back, why didn’t the angels appear?”

"this………"

Hearing Kikyo Harina's question, the old pope just laughed.

"We are only mortals and cannot guess what the gods are thinking, and the opinions between the angels and us may be a little to the left..."

 “Hmph, there’s no need to hide it.”

However, before the old pope could finish his explanation, he was interrupted by Duanmu Huai with a cold snort.

“To put it bluntly, angels are also our enemies, right?”

"Why?"

I have to say that everyone was shocked when they heard Duanmuhuai's statement.

“Teacher Duanmu? Didn’t you listen to what the Pope said? Angels have helped humans before?”

“Just because they helped humans before does not mean they will help humans again.”

As a judge of human supremacy, Duanmuhuai will naturally not be as stupid as Juyangcai.

"You have all heard what this old man said. Demons maintain their existence by absorbing the negative emotions and power of humans. Angels are the power of God. In other words, as long as humans are still alive, demons will not completely disappear. Besides, what will happen even if they are sealed again? Just like this time, if a few hundred years pass and some demon worshipers come and release these demon kings from the seal, will it be over? "

"this………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, everyone was speechless for a moment, while Duanmuhuai snorted coldly and looked at the Pope in front of him again.

“So for angels, a method that has failed once is not worth using again. In comparison, they have a simpler method that can not only expel demons, but also ensure that they will never come back.”

"any solution?"

“It’s very simple, demons maintain their existence through human emotions and strength, and only by possessing humans can they obtain entities in this world——”

Duanmu Huai curled his lips. This is the only way every subspace creature wants to obtain a body in the real world. As a judge, he is very familiar with this.

"Then it's very simple. From the angel's point of view, as long as all humans are killed, then the demons and demon kings will disappear without the host body and power to maintain? There will be no more problems in the future, right? ?”

"Why………!?"

Hearing this, not only Kiyoshi Harina was dumbfounded, but even the students were shocked. Even demons like Wan Lia and Tacheng Kitty couldn't help hearing this.

Is there still such an operation?

Looking at the fuss made by a group of people, Duanmu Huai chuckled. There was nothing strange about this. In the past, there were similar radicals in the Inquisition who wanted to starve all the Chaos Demons to death by wiping out all humans... Of course, this kind of mentally retarded operation would definitely not be welcomed by other Inquisitors.

 So they are also the number one targets for heresy.

 “What, what I said is right.”

　　　…………”

Facing Duanmuhuai’s scrutinizing gaze, the old pope was silent for a moment, and then lowered his head.

"Yes, as you said, that's why... we need help from people from other worlds."

 Then he spoke.
