My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 386

< Demon World (1) >

The office of the CEO has become a mess.

“Hmm.”

Hubert, who was sprawled out on the finest chair inside, let out a soft groan.

As the head that had been facing the floor was lifted, the two eyes slowly opened.

He blinked his eyes a few times and looked around, then calmly got up from his seat and began to stretch his body here and there.

“Hmm, something feels sore. Even if I was sitting in a bad posture, it’s still like that, and I didn’t sit there for that long···.”

Perhaps it is the aftereffect of an evil magic that has infiltrated to manipulate the mind.

The attempt itself was successfully blocked, but the aftershock caused by the high-density energy penetrating it could not be completely eliminated.

Moreover, Hubert had not trained in any special mysticism, so he was bound to be somewhat vulnerable in this area.

‘If it had been a decent opponent, this alone would have been enough.’

For someone who operated on a continental scale like himself, assassination attempts were a daily occurrence.

Thorough security in all areas of operation, including the headquarters building, a strong security force that can block even an intrusion by the military or special forces, and personal capabilities that go beyond simple self-defense.

But such means had to be an exception in this case.

‘Tsk, it can’t be helped since it had to be the opponent.’

Hubert clicked his tongue lightly and slowly looked around.

Diana, who had fainted, was lying somewhat still on the sofa where the reception table was. Her breathing was even, so she seemed to be asleep, but there seemed to be nothing unusual about her.

His gaze, which had been watching her for a moment, soon turned to the place where the head of the table was located.

To the demon tribe who were gathered together so quietly that it was doubtful whether they were the ones who had been causing a fuss just a moment ago.

Ken Miyamoto, a young man of ordinary appearance with black hair and black eyes, is a demon count.

An old gentleman in a pure white outfit carrying an antique cane, the Viscount-level devil Francis.

and-

The demon lord-level great devil, ‘Hela’, was sitting alone on the sofa with her legs crossed, with those standing behind her with a polite attitude.

The demon king who had just descended to this land was resting his chin on his crossed arms on his crossed legs, nodding his head slightly as he listened to the two demons chattering behind him.

‘···Looking at it this way, the atmosphere is no joke.’

A beautiful appearance that cannot be hidden by the disparate elements such as the high horns rising between the long, roughly tied black hair, the black wings on the back, and the black and red eyes.

In addition, the way she dressed up in the clothes she had on her body without any women’s clothing on her made it look like a work of art. She had such an attractive and overwhelming charisma that I couldn’t even look down, let alone dare to speak to her.

Hubert, secretly impressed by the sight, looked closely at his new avatar with renewed eyes.

Since this was my first time using a female avatar, it was bound to feel unfamiliar even to me, who had dealt with numerous entities before.

– Individual name: Hela

-Race: Demon King

-Common characteristics: “Mind Hub”, “Persona”, “Xenoglossy”, “Subspace Storage”, “Limit Break”, “Imitation”

– Individual characteristics: “Demon King”, “Annihilator”, “World of the Demon Heaven”, “Magic Domination”, “Eye of Domination”, “Beautiful Country”, “Lord of Illusion”

-Special Note: Han Seong-hyeon’s twelfth avatar. The horn, right arm, and eyeball containing the essence of the 14th Demon King Leraye were used as a medium. The influence of the medium was very strong, so some of the characteristics from his previous life were inherited. Not only does it contain enormous energy, but it also has strong resistance to divine power.

Not only did he achieve transcendence immediately after birth, he also had seven innate individual characteristics.

It is no exaggeration to say that Demon King Hela was born as a complete being from the beginning, as she was a combination of multiple skills and had overlapping effects.

The “Demon King”, which is a racial trait and the basis of all abilities, the “Annihilator”, which is involved in aggression and overall combat, and the “World of the Demon Heaven”, which brings its own unique territory to the world.

‘Hans also has “Magic Domination”. And the other three…’

“The Eyes of Domination,” “The Beauty of the Country,” and “The Illusionist Monarch.”

These abilities, which are based on dominating and ruling over a target, were closely related to the bloodline of Leray, the 14th Demon King.

‘I never thought the Demon King would be a succubus hybrid. I overlooked it because I was only concerned about the material’s performance.’

Perhaps that had a major impact on the inability to change the gender of the individual.

It was rather strange that the mediums that held such power were beaten so much and yet they became male.

‘Well, it’s a useless problem to think about it now. But since it’s a type that hasn’t existed before, it might have some utility.’

Hubert, who had gathered his thoughts like that, looked at Hela with a subtle expression.

A beautiful appearance unlike any other beauties I’ve seen so far.

But his gaze towards that beauty was filled with only a feeling of trembling.

···No matter how pretty it may be, that too is oneself.

Although their appearances are different, their foundation, soul, and self are the same, so it is impossible to perceive them as different.

It’s like looking at yourself in a mirror, completely cross-dressed.

If I were a narcissist, I wouldn’t know, but as someone who prides myself on having extremely ordinary tastes, I just felt really uncomfortable.

‘I would give it high marks on the artistic side, but.’

Of course, if we look at it objectively, there aren’t many who can be compared to Hela.

In order to somehow be considered a candidate, you would have to have at least one of the following: Saint Riesta, Jinsoran, Bricky, and other vampires, or Crown Princess Riley, the elf Shapiron, the great sorcerer Misty, Jegal Hyemi or Namgung Soran, the dragons of Geumodo, or the true succubus Siana…

‘···Huh? There’s more than I thought?’

While I was thinking like that, I stopped without realizing it.

Suddenly, I realized something new that I had not been aware of before.

‘Were there this many women around me?’

They are beauties who each show off their own unique charm.

Once I realized that fact, another topic naturally came to mind.

‘···Could it be that I was the legendary alpha male?’

A fact that no one knew about… even the person involved didn’t know about it!

But that unfounded confidence soon disappeared like a bubble.

I’ve never had a proper fling, let alone a relationship. What kind of alpha male is this?

‘Tsk, then that’s true.’

A feeling of regret welling up for some reason.

So I decided to stop my idle thoughts here and get on with the story.

“Hubert? If you’ve finished assessing the situation, come over here. Don’t worry about those guys, I’ve already beaten them up.”

Hubert slowly walked towards the place where the demons were, listening to the captivating voice that made his ears tickle just by hearing it.

And Diana sat on the sofa opposite where she was sleeping, and glanced at Hela, who was sitting at the head of the table.

‘The pressure is even greater when you see it up close. Even though I try my best to hide my feelings.’

Two demons standing on either side of the back of the chair glared at Hubert with sharp eyes.

It’s as if he’s going to snap your neck the moment you commit any rudeness.

Hubert averted his eyes at that burning loyalty and laughed inwardly.

‘It seems there is no problem with dominance.’

Originally, it was nearly impossible for even the highest-ranking succubus to brainwash a strong person who had reached that level, but this time, it was a different story.

They were a demon race originating in the Demon World, and Hela was the new ruler of the Demon World with one clear legitimacy—the Demon King.

“I’ve already given these kids a rough explanation, so they won’t harm you in the future. Now, you should apologize properly too, right?”

“Ahem, if you had revealed earlier that you were Hela’s servant, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Hehehe, I almost made a huge mistake. As a person who serves a master like us, let’s forget the mistakes of the past and do better.”

As expected of a devil, he tried to roughly crush the apology and gloss over it.

Of course, Hela did not just leave such tricks alone.

“Use it.”

“···I’m sorry, please forgive me.”

“Ahem, I would also like to formally apologize. I will definitely repay this debt.”

A weed planted on the continent by the Demon King Hela.

That was the new setting given to Hubert.

This might explain why she protected him.

And there was one more very big complication to this setup…

‘If we say it’s a merchant’s fate, what else is there to say?’

It was at this very moment that he expanded his business area to the Demon World, using his background as the Demon King.

Of course, it won’t be easy because there is a dimensional barrier blocking the way that cannot be easily crossed, but doesn’t it happen that you have a capable slave… no, subordinates that you can use in various ways?

‘Hehehe, if Hubert Trading Company can take over the Demon World market…’

It didn’t matter that the land didn’t follow a normal market economy.

After all, what he really wanted was the enormous karma that would result from exercising influence.

“What’s there to forgive since we’re on the same boat anyway? Let’s try to do better from now on.”

“Oh! As expected, you have a big heart. I knew it all along···.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

Visions of karma pouring down from the sky filled his retinas.

He licked his lips lightly, swallowed his saliva, and continued speaking with sparkling eyes.

“···There’s a project I’m thinking about right now, but it’s not easy to carry out, is it? Could I possibly get some help from you guys on that?”

It was the moment when the merciless dark merchant, who would sell goods even to the devil if he was given money (karma), opened his eyes.

***

“Hmm.”

Hela, armed with the weapons of the demonic realm taken from Horus’ “Golden Treasure,” nodded her head in satisfaction as she slowly clenched and unclenched her fists.

My body, which was awkward, has now become quite familiar.

Haven’t you already handled undead that were nothing but bones, short dwarves, and even dragons that didn’t even have a human form left?

Now, it was rather funny to be so troubled by the extent of a woman’s body.

Of course, having lived my entire life as a man, there was quite a bit of residual resistance, but the “Persona” that controlled the emotions and tendencies contained in the avatar allowed me to operate “Hela” naturally, regardless of how I felt about the main body.

Just like other avatars have done so far.

However, even in the midst of all that, I couldn’t help but be concerned about the individual’s tendencies…

The problem was that, although her speech was a bit rough and rough, Hela’s demeanor was not at all manly.

‘Could this be the femininity that was latent within me?’

How can you be feminine when you’re a man?

When I realized that, I couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.

‘Ugh! Harley… I need Harley…! Harley, munching on undercooked meat!’

I feel like I’m getting hurt by Hans’s chuunibyou-like words and actions when he first got “Persona”.

But I tried to think positively as I watched Harley roar and suck up meat.

Anyway, since I’ve completely scraped away the tiny bit of femininity that was left inside me and forced it into one place, if I just control it well, wouldn’t my main body literally become the incarnation of a real man?

‘Yeah, if you think about it that way, it’s not so bad.’

In the process of calming down like that, some citizens of Drakal complained about the noise pollution caused by Harley’s roar that roughly showed off his wildness, but this was something he couldn’t do anything about.

‘···Well, I guess we can throw in some mercy and hold a meat festival. But right now, it’s more important to understand the situation in the Demon World.’

Hubert, faithful to his role as a merchant, immediately began preparing to open a trade route to the Demon World, but in fact, the most pressing issue at hand was the problem that had just occurred in the Demon World.

In the first place, the reason he started to take interest in the demon world was because of his anxiety about that matter.

The most important thing in solving the problem was, of course, gathering information, and in that sense, the two demons who had recently left the Demon World were an excellent source of information.

···It should have been that way.

“Um, actually, I’m not really interested in the current situation, so what I told Hubert is all I know. If that’s okay with you···.”

“Hehe, I’m sorry. It’s been over five years since I left the Demon World, so I don’t have the most up-to-date information… For now, I’ll just tell you what I know.”

Although it was a bit unsettling, if I were to summarize the story I heard, it could be seen as a ‘fight between factions over the next Demon King’s throne.’

It’s an event that’s been going on for hundreds of years, so it’s become nothing special now.

The explanation was that the reason the Demon World was quiet during the time when the Immortal King was running wild after the 14th Demon King Leraye led the Demon King’s army and invaded the continent a thousand years ago was also because of that.

‘···Come to think of it, there was also the essence of a succubus queen who was a member of the Demon King’s army in the “Golden Treasure.”

I excluded it because I was worried that adding materials of lower rank compared to the Demon King’s remains would have negative effects…

‘A succubus half-breed demon king and a succubus queen. Now that I think about it, it’s likely that their relationship wasn’t just that of a simple monarch and subject.’

Anyway, what was important now was that he had another point of contact with the Demon World, aside from those two demons.

It is also believed to have a special connection that is closely related to the previous Demon King.

‘Siana.’

A succubus subordinate to Hans, who belongs to the Immortal Army.

The demon race’s lifespan is also quite long, so they might know about those who died a thousand years ago.

Even if that weren’t the case, the factions remaining in the Demon World wouldn’t be that small, considering that they produced the previous Demon King and high-ranking officials.

‘If you swallow it whole…’

It will be easier to proceed with work in the Demon World.

Demon King Hela nodded slowly and immediately began taking action.

And the Immortal King Hans also began to move in step with him.

If the world had known, everyone would have screamed, but a terrible conspiracy had begun.

No one knew that fact yet.
