The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

"If the Demon King isn't evil, what is?"

This question of Artemis, no one has answered, and no one can answer.

Because, this may be a question that even the Supreme God does not know the answer to.

What is the true side of the Demon King who can make the omniscient and almighty goddess do nothing to her and make the power of the supreme god completely invalid, and who has the honor to see it?

The devil?

Or the "she" mentioned in the slate records?

Everyone's mood became more and more complicated, and even a little irritable.

At this time, Sheehan glanced at Artemis and asked.

"Didn't you ever challenge the Demon King?" Sheehan asked directly: "As someone who has directly challenged the Demon King, like most of the heroes of the past, you should know what kind of existence it is, right?"

Sheehan's words made Artemis startled.

In his mind, the memory that had been hidden for many years was finally dug out again.

......

----"justice".

----"order".

These are the two concepts that Artemis carried when he was born, and it is something that he must carry out throughout his life.

That's where she exists.

Here is the rule of her life.

Those who knew her existence believed that her behavior of strictly abiding by justice and maintaining order was a flaw in her existence as a detachment, and they believed that this was the price she had to pay after possessing too much power.

Just like her fellow sister who has never been officially masked, but has always heard her name like thunder, the strongest evil god of the Protoss, when she was born, she may have been destined to have abnormal parts in spirit. Bar.

But Artemis never thought that was a bad thing.

She does see justice and order as things she has to abide by throughout her life,

However, he was not persecuted, nor did he feel any dissatisfaction with it. Instead, he felt a sense of fulfillment and a clear mission from this meaning of existence.

Because justice can bring peace to people, and order can bring peace to people. People's smiles are basically maintained by these two things. If they are lost, the world will lose the thing called "happiness".

In view of this, Artemis has long been determined to exercise justice and establish order.

For justice, she can turn into a sword and cut the world's injustice.

For the sake of order, she can transform into a shield, blocking all maliciousness.

Not only for the world, but for myself, for things called "principles" and "missions."

This is Artemis, the goddess of justice and order.

Of course, in the eyes of this goddess, the Demon King is the greatest evil in the world.

It is the Demon King who has caused many tragedies in this world.

It was the Demon King who started the war, killed countless creatures, and raised the butcher's knife to the supreme god who created the world, intending to step on the supreme god under his feet and occupy this world that belongs to the supreme god.

This is undoubtedly evil.

Since it is evil, it must be eliminated, it must be eradicated.

Such an idea has existed in Artemis' heart for many years.

At the beginning, knowing the existence of the Demon King and what she did, Artemis didn't even think about it, he just wanted to come to the door and eradicate this greatest evil existence.

Unfortunately, the three goddesses stopped her.

"No, you can't go."

"That's the Demon King, not something you can deal with."

"You may be very strong, but after all, it is a subordinate existence created by the mother goddess, and the opponent is a powerful demon king who even the mother goddess feels dangerous and fears. You can't go to death."

Lidas, the goddess of fate, Anima, the goddess of life, and Nadura, the goddess of nature.

The apex of these three gods, the boss-like figure of all the goddesses, personally stopped Artemis.

"If you really want to defeat the Demon King, go find a hero."

"The devil is my nemesis, and the hero is the devil's nemesis."

"Only the brave can truly defeat the Demon King."

This is the advice of the three goddesses, and it is also common sense that the entire Protoss knows.

Humans from another world, summoned to save the world, a hero with a sense of justice and a sense of duty——"The Brave".

For their existence, Artemis had long known, but he was happy with their existence as if he had met a confidant.

They are human heroes who, like themselves, are walking on the road of maintaining justice and order.

They were heroes who were flawless in spirit and heart, and Artemis always found it a pleasure to be around them.

I heard that the reason why the Protoss was born in this world is to cultivate the brave, assist the brave, so that the brave can grow up, and finally achieve the purpose of crusade against the devil and save the world.

Artemis has no complaints about this, even a goddess who is highly respected by the entire Protoss.

If the target is those brave people, she is willing to do anything for them.

Because she knows very well that the stronger the heroes are, the more help the world will receive.

The stronger they are, the more people will be helped by them.

The stronger they are, the more people will get their redemption.

In this way, a lot of tragedies, a lot of tragedies, can be avoided.

Therefore, Artemis has no complaints about this, and even cooperates very actively with the three goddesses, always accompanying the brave, helping the brave, and allowing them to grow.

And I have to say that the heroes are indeed worth looking forward to. Not only are their talents amazing, but their growth rate is also unusually fast.

Ordinary people need to spend a lifetime to complete the journey, and they only need to spend about a few years to complete it. This kind of thing, in other races, is simply a whimsical thing.

Even the weakest hero can finally reach the legendary level. With the holy sword, he can even fight against the extreme level, and the time required to reach such a state is just a few short years.

Artemis also saw with his own eyes a small number of brave men who broke through themselves, achieved detachment, and finally became an existence on a par with her.

They are so good, so powerful, and so satisfying. If the three goddesses were not willing to give them blessings, Artemis would definitely turn all the brave men into their own blessings, paving the way for their lives. .

However, even with such an excellent and powerful being, in the end, after challenging the Demon King one after another... he fell down.

The hero who reached the legendary level fell on the road of growth.

The hero who reached the extreme level fell before the detachment.

And the heroes who reached the detachment level all fell at the feet of the Demon King.

None of them were able to succeed.

None of them could defeat the Demon King.

One...two...three...four...a dozen or so heroes all fell down.

Of course, every time a hero fell, Artemis' heart would ache violently once, and once again, he had to wait for the next hero to be summoned.

But the frequency of the call of the brave is probably only once in hundreds of years.

In these hundreds of years, the world has suffered from wars, suffered by demons, and has been struggling to survive in gunpowder smoke and blood, never ending, and can never be liberated.

Under such circumstances, every time a hero fell, Artemis had to watch the world suffer for hundreds of years in addition to heartache and grief.

Pure evil is still spreading on the ground.

How can she endure this?

How does this make her restrained?

So, after not knowing which hero fell, Artemis finally no longer endured.

"Stop! Artemis!"

"do not go!"

"You will die!"

The panicked shouts of the goddess of fate, the goddess of life, and the goddess of nature sounded from behind.

But Artemis did not stop this time, let alone turn his head. He directly turned away from his superior and went to the enemy's base camp.

Countless demons appeared to stop her, but their heads were cut off by the silver-white double swords in her hands.

The powerful demons also came to stop her one by one, but she was finally thrown away with difficulty.

This is not only due to the factors of strength, but also good luck, which has just created this result.

Artemis realized that there will be no such luck again, there will be no second chance like this, he decided to bet everything, slay the greatest evil in the world under the sword, and return peace to the world .

With such determination, Artemis entered the Demon King's castle.

Then, Artemis met the Demon King smoothly.

It was at that moment that Artemis finally understood.

Understand, what is————“Magic”.

"...Aren't you a hero?"

When this too sweet and pleasant voice came into Artemis' ears, Artemis was not able to give a response in the first time.

She was stiff and unable to move.

Her face was pale and her heart was shaking.

She then stared closely at the existence sitting on the throne, bathed in the only light from the skylight on the ceiling, only to feel a deadly chill crawling on her body and wandering all over her body.

The hands holding the sword were already trembling, unable to lift it at all.

Obviously, that existence is just sitting there quietly.

Obviously, that existence did not emit any breath.

But the instinct of being a goddess is telling Artemis that the existence in front of her is not something she can defeat at all.

Do not.

It should be said that it is an existence that can unilaterally devour her, gnaw her, bite her, and firmly press her everything under her feet.

That's not the enemy.

That is the natural enemy.

If you can't defeat it, you must turn around and flee when you encounter it, or you will definitely become the opponent's prey and the natural enemy of the opponent's food.

"Ah..."

The determination to win in Artemis' heart had already collapsed, and all that remained was a deep sense of despair.

However, the existence sitting on the throne whispered softly as if not seeing her expression.

"Not a hero...not a hero..."

That murmur, full of exhaustion, full of sadness.

It's a pity that Artemis at the time couldn't understand the emotion in this voice at all.

She could only faintly hear such words.

"Why isn't the hero here?"

"When will the next hero come?"

"How long do I...have to wait...to..."

These words were not directed at Artemis, they were just his own words.

However, the exhaustion and sadness in the other party's words became more and more intense.

It wasn't until a certain moment that the Demon King spoke up.

"...I have no interest in existences that are not heroes, so let's go."

When this sentence entered the ears of Artemis, Artemis actually felt a kind of amnesty.

This feeling made her feel humiliated and desperate.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!"

Later, Artemis left, or fled.

The panic at that time and the cry at that time were probably the gaffes and insults that Artemis could never forget in his life.

But this is the final fate of the only person in the world other than the hero who has challenged the Demon King head-on.
