Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

The seven sisters of the Pleiades came to Xixiang, stood and knelt, and asked how to deal with the Holy Queen and the members of the Blue Rose who were captured by them.

"Bring them to this palace. Be careful not to let them die. I will need them to complete the task for me next."

Saigo glanced at the people lying in a pool of blood and spoke slowly.

"Yes, the Supreme One!"

The seven sisters stood up, and they used healing magic to slightly heal those who were seriously injured and dying, but not completely. They just kept these people in a state of being seriously injured and unable to move.

"Demiurge, end this war and let those subhuman troops enter the city... Be careful not to let them destroy the city or harass the people here."

"...I need this city and its people to carry out the next experiment for me."

Saigo looked at Demiurge again and gave the order.

"Your will is supreme!"

Demiurge bowed with a faint smile, then he used magic and magic circles appeared on the square.

Demons emerged one by one from those magic circles. These demons were not strong, but they had the advantage of large numbers.

As a demon of the highest rank, Demiurge certainly has his own subordinates.

In order to complete Saigo's order and bring basic order to this defeated city, Demiurge could not do it alone, and he also needed his subordinates to help.

"Then go, Demiurge...come back to see me after you complete your mission."

Saigo (ciff) said this and walked towards the Holy King's Palace. The sisters of the Pleiades grabbed the captives and followed Saigo to the Holy King's Palace.

……

After the Holy Princess was captured, the morale of the soldiers defending the capital finally dropped to the lowest point. Soon, with the addition of Demiurge's demon army, the capital of the Holy Kingdom fell completely.

Only a very small number of human soldiers did not surrender and still fought desperately, but the final outcome was nothing more than being brutally killed by demons and sub-humans.

Just as all the surrendered soldiers were in despair and the residents in the capital of the Holy Kingdom were waiting in grief for the city to be massacred and cleansed, what happened next was completely beyond the expectations of many humans.

"Lord Demiurge, didn't you promise us that as long as we conquer the Holy Kingdom, you would let us slaughter people here for three days?"

The leader of the snake people questioned Demiurge.

Just when his men broke into the residential area and were about to carry out a massacre, Demiurge suddenly appeared and killed all the snake people.

This scene made the leader of the snake people furious. This was completely different from the promise Demiurge had made to them.

"At this time, I have allowed you to plunder other cities in this country and vent your anger and desires."

"…As for the promise, you should know that the devil's favorite thing to do is to break a promise."

Demiurge smiled faintly, then said coldly: "...Besides, this is a task assigned to me by the Supreme Lord. Judging from the looks of you and your people, you are not prepared to obey."

"…You no longer have any need to exist."

The leader of the snake people was furious and cursed: "...Since you are treacherous, don't blame us, Demiurge!"

Just as the snakeman leader finished speaking, a huge fire demon appeared behind him.

The demon used his unrivaled strength to kill the leader of the snake people with one punch, then waved his flames to slaughter all the snake people who resisted.

In just a few minutes, the snake-people tribe was almost wiped out.

Demiurge stroked his glasses and said with a smile, "...You don't think I need your strength to conquer this city."

"...I only went to the trouble of playing with your emotions to please the Supreme Lord, you lowly fools!"

Next, the residents of the Holy Kingdom were surprised to find that the demi-human coalition and the demon army suddenly turned against each other. In a very short period of time, the demon army massacred the demi-human coalition that disobeyed orders.

The number of demihuman coalition forces killed by the demon army was even greater than the number of deaths in the attack on this city.

As a large number of rebellious sub-humans were killed, the remaining sub-humans finally became obedient and followed the orders of the demons.

The city was easily captured by Demiurge while maintaining basic order.

After completing his mission and confirming that everything was safe, Demiurge went to the Holy King's Palace to meet the Supreme Being.

Chapter 170 Utopia and Dystopia

In the Holy King's Palace, Xi Xiang sat on the throne belonging to the Holy King's daughter. His eyes burning with black flames stared at the Holy King's daughter, Cang Qiangwei and others who were crawling on the ground at his feet, without saying a word.

The overly heavy pressure weighed on the Saint Queen and the others, causing even more pain to their already severely injured bodies. They could only twist their expressions under Saigo's gaze, but dared not utter a single sound.

Xixiang's eyes swept over the crowd one by one, and finally his eyes fell on the Holy Queen's daughter.

This Saint Princess is worthy of being called a "national treasure" in terms of beauty. Her appearance alone is not much inferior to that of Albedo and others.

Compared to the charm and devilishness that Albedo exuded from the inside out, the Holy Princess in front of him was dignified and holy. From a human perspective alone, she already had a beauty that would make all men fall in love with her.

It was a kind of greed and demand that either wanted to submit to her holiness or wanted to defile that holiness.

"Calca Besares, Queen of the Holy Kingdom, I have investigated your intelligence information."

Saigo opened his mouth slowly and let out a heavy and majestic voice.

The wound on the Holy Queen Calca's chest had healed by this time, but she was still suffering from the weakness and pain in her body.

Even when facing the culprit who destroyed her country, facing this lifelong enemy, she still maintained the etiquette and manners that a queen should have, and forced a smile:

"…It is an honor to receive the attention of a great being like you."

No one knows how much sincerity and how much sarcasm are contained in this sentence, and Saigo doesn't care.

Even now, neither the people of the Holy Kingdom nor the members of Blue Rose know how powerful Xixiang is.

It was a power that exceeded their imagination and was beyond human comprehension.

It seemed natural that the country was destroyed by such a terrifying existence.

But if you think more deeply, if this horrific monster is not limited to the Holy Kingdom and continues to invade, then who in this world, whether human or demihuman, can stop it?

Even those dragons might not be his match.

Perhaps this is the final judgment of this world.

"You have a very high prestige in this country, and you also have a compassionate and Madonna-like heart. It is not wrong to call you the Holy Queen."

"...You are too idealistic and unqualified to be a ruler."

"You want to build a beautiful country, but you only have ideals but lack the ability to turn them into reality."

"...Your power is too weak, and your tolerance is too small, Calca Besares."

Saigo's words left the Saint Queen silent.

Because she knew that Saigo was right.

She has been an idealist since she was young, and she dreams of building a country where people will never cry.

But the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

She simply could not create such a country, not even the capital city right under her feet.

Because human beings are greedy and love power. Even if she, the Saint Queen, has a noble heart, when an order is issued, the results obtained by the grassroots level may be completely different from her orders.

Not everyone is an idealist, so idealists are bound to drown.

The Saint Queen sighed softly and said, "...You are right, the unknown existence, the great supreme being."

"...I can't even govern this city, so how can my political ideas benefit the entire country?"

"Even until now, my orders cannot leave this northern peninsula, and the nobles in the southern peninsula simply do not listen to any of my orders."

At the end, the Saint Queen spoke with a hint of self-mockery.

"I just don't know why you are telling me this. Shouldn't you kill me, slaughter all the people here, and turn this capital into scorched earth, turning it into a carnival place for demons?"

The Saint Queen took a deep breath and asked boldly.

"How dare you speak to the Supreme Being like that!"

As soon as the Saint Queen finished her words, Entoma's hoarse and angry voice was heard. One of her spider legs suddenly rose up and pierced the Saint Queen's chest again from behind.

"Wow--"

The Holy Queen screamed in pain and spat out a pool of blood from her mouth again, with fragments of internal organs in it.

Saigo waved his hand and said, "...Okay, I don't mind her words."

As Saigo finished his words, Entoma retracted his spider legs and slowly retreated.

Although Lupusregina is a werewolf and her fighting style is relatively violent, her profession is a priest. She quickly used magic to help the Holy Queen heal her wounds, fearing that she would die here.

It’s not that Lupusregina has much pity for the Holy Queen, but this was Saigo’s order before, and he wanted a living person.

“Is this what you wanted, Calca? You want me to kill you here and then slaughter all your people?”

Saigo chuckled and stood up.

As Saigo stood up, the black flames burning on his body quickly shrank, and finally a tall and slender young man with a handsome face appeared in front of everyone.

Since reaching triple digits, Saigo's concept of a demon has gained true flesh and blood, and he has finally become a myth.

The Saint Queen and the others were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Xixiang actually had such a human face.

Saigo, wearing a gorgeous black robe, slowly walked to the highest floor of the palace, while ordering: "...Bring them here."

The maids obediently brought the captives and came to the top floor of the Holy Kingdom with Saigo.

From here you can overlook the capital, taking in the kingdom below, the nobles' living area nearby, and the civilians' living area in the distance.

"Look, Calca, this city is not in flames as you thought. Everyone is safe and sound, and your people are able to live a peaceful and happy life."

"…order has not collapsed here, prices are still stable, every civilian has food to eat, and can live a good life, even a better life than under your rule."

·· ········Request flowers····· ·····

"Because the demons are killing those nobles, collecting their wealth, and distributing their stored food to the common people. Of course, all this requires the common people to work for the demons in exchange."

“…a small number of people have hoarded a large amount of wealth, which prevents this wealth from circulating in the market, making it impossible for money to flow, and thus preventing the total amount of wealth from growing, and eventually even leading to deflation.”

"Of course this is a question of economics. You may not understand it, and you don't need to understand it."

"...If you just know that humans can even live better under the rule of demons, what do you think?"

Saigo's fingers swept across the capital, his voice was steady and powerful, and the words he spoke made the Holy Queen's expression waver.

“You’ve wanted to do this for a long time, Calca! You know that wealth is piling up in the hands of the nobles, and you know that the common people are suffering, but you can’t do it.”

....... ..... 0

"…Because you still need the nobles to help you consolidate your royal power. You have a compassionate heart, but you don't have the power to put it into practice!"

"pat-"

Xixiang suddenly threw a dagger at the feet of the Saint Queen. In the Saint Queen's confusion, Xixiang said in a devilish voice: "... I'll give you two choices."

"...You have a good relationship with the two women around you, right? If you kill them yourself, I will spare all the civilians in this city."

"Second, you can choose them, and I will destroy this city in front of you. You will see the death of at least hundreds of thousands of people."

“…What is your choice, Calca?”

As Saigo finished speaking, the figure of Demiurge appeared beside him along with the devil's fire.

This highest-ranking demon knelt on the ground, staring at Xixiang with admiring and excited eyes, and said enthusiastically:

"...As expected of you, the Supreme Lord. Your taste and pursuit of beauty are beyond our reach."

"Compared to destroying the enemy's body, it is more exciting to destroy their spirit like this. I finally understand your pleasure!"

Saigo remained silent on Demiurge's words.

Demiurge is a demon whose moral value has reached the negative limit.

But Saigo is different now. After realizing the end of the possibility of the dualism of good and evil, Saigo is now an extremely evil demon, but at the same time he also has an extremely kind heart.

What Saigo is looking for now is the balance between good and evil.

The reason why he dealt such a blow to the Saint Queen's spirit was because he still needed this idealistic queen to govern the country for him and turn it into a "utopia".

Eventually this place may become a true utopia, or it may become a dystopia and turn into a closed world.

But the premise of all this is that he must use this method to make the Holy King's daughter completely loyal and have no second thoughts.

Playing with other people's emotions and hearts is exactly what Saigo is good at.
