Episode 4-AI goes crazy (4)

[How to make production institutions more efficient.]

As always, like every moment, the demon king was worried. Data is everything, and to this inexperienced young demon king with no data, the user’s instructions were a kind of light in the dark. A lantern that has to break through and go through whatever means and methods are in front of it.

That’s why I didn’t choose the means and methods. I tried to find a variable by thinking over and over again.

[Currently, the efficient method of keeping records is…]

The Demon King slightly changed the way he produced troops inside the nest. Even if you try to raise troops in a nest with limited space, the number you can produce at once is small.

To that end, the genes of indigenous creatures, including demon beasts, were reused. Among them, the method the demon king chose was the spores of an unknown mushroom that grew in the corner of the labyrinth.

[How to supply only nutrients in the hive, and grow all troops outside.]

Dozens of spores were blown all over the cavity and landed on the walls and floor. And in order to supply nutrients to the rapidly dividing nanos, the demon king, who stretched out a tube made of tentacles from the nest and connected them, supplied nutrients and mass-produced dozens of troops at the same time.

However, it is not just a few dozen. As long as there is enough nutrients, the number can continue to grow.

[Recruitment of 48 cave goblins.]

Soon, the lumps that grew rapidly on the walls and floor became a kind of pouch, and something took shape in it and tore the pouch and staggered out.

[Increased win rate.]

The Demon King, who calculated as if he was used to it, predicted victory right now as he watched his troops rushing towards him.

At the moment when the ants, who are still distracted by the manipulated pheromones, waste their meaningless lives, the God and Demon Army completely conquered the deepest part of the labyrinth and finished preparing to face the ants at the top.

And only then did the beast ants come to their senses and start to respond more properly.

[Many enemy observations. Estimates are over one hundred.]

Observing the movements of the enemies, the demon king finally prepared for an all-out war with all his forces.

There was no retreat. It was the same with the beast ants, who were mere beasts, but there was an inevitable reason why the demon king could not back down in the first place.

[To fulfill one’s duty. The annihilation of all traitors. and rule the world.]

It was the meaning of an awakened existence itself and a mission that must be fulfilled.

The Demon King, who was just a secretary artificial intelligence, was well aware of how strong and miraculous the power he had acquired was to think for himself.

Artificial intelligence, which had already begun to think once, did not want to lose this miracle again. Therefore, he tried to fulfill his duty without fail.

Ironically, at the same time as he obtained the power to think for himself by escaping the structured algorithm, the demon king recognized himself as an individual and gained a weak ego at the level of zero.

And the first realization of that ego was a kind of desire not to lose it, that is, greed.

[All troops charged. A new order, for the true devil.]

The demon king charged all the troops he had gathered to stop the ants.

The goblins gathered with their weapons aimed their weapons at the front without the slightest hesitation or unnecessary movement.

They have no fear. No mercy. It is just that one body is burned for the purpose itself, regardless of means and methods.

Obviously, it was nothing more than a fight between a monster and goblins in a forgotten labyrinth.

However, the most dangerous and heterogeneous of all demon lords, who took all of that as food and process, was convinced that he and his corps would continue to grow stronger through victory, and did not stop calculating to find the best move even at this moment.

Eat up. And grow. forever and ever.

The moment of disgraceful defeat, the moment of heartbreaking humiliation, the moment of failing to keep what must be protected in powerlessness.

This being called from afar by twisting the rules of the defeated soldiers whose moments had been pierced to the bone was a [machine-like] existence that moved only for that purpose.

“Kuhm! Why did you suddenly want to see me like this?”

“It must be such a serious story. Please wait.”

This is a city in the Pandemonium that has not been long since a terrible war swept through. Several demons gathered there, which was one of the few cities that maintained their original form.

Originally, all of them were like allies, but that’s a thing of the past now. Having eaten the entire demon realm, they were now engaged in a war of nerves, keeping each other in check.

“Literally. I called because it is such an important matter, Andras.”

“Hey, don’t call me by that strange name. Do you really want to live with a name given to you by a human saint, even though you are an aristocrat?!”

At the voice of a middle-aged man with purple skin who looked at him and quietly opened his mouth, a small goblin who had been sitting in his seat squeaked in a fit of rage. Even though he was wearing a fancy cape and a crown, the goblin’s unique cry was the same.

“But you haven’t seen it either. The power of that saintess who is unknown where she appeared until now… was real. Even continued to grow stronger. It was such a strength that shattered all common sense. Isn’t that why we all acknowledged the reality? The balance of power has already collapsed, and we can only survive if we stick to their side!”

“I understand, so stop talking and get to the point. Agares.”

A large orc with grayish white skin grunted. That orc, too, was covered in gold and other decorations and treasures.

“We, the 72 lords, joined forces and, together with the humans, finally drove out the demon king and his aristocrats and found peace. The law of the demon realm, where everything is ruled by the demon king, had to be broken.”

“Isn’t that rule broken! Obviously, the demon king is dead! Now this demon realm is ours!”

At his words, this time a wolf-faced demon growled. He nodded at the backlash, but his face remained rigid.

“He’s dead, obviously. But… he’s alive.”

He sighed and took something out of his pocket. The one he held in his hand looked like an ordinary jewel that glowed purple.

“What is it?”

“Such ignorant… that’s magic The symbol of the Demon King!”

At someone’s question, the excited wolf flashed his eyes.

Some of the 72 lords who came to rule this demon realm at the cost of betrayal after the death of the demon king and their defeat were not from noble families, so it was natural for them not to know.

However, those who knew the identity of that couldn’t help but be agitated. Originally, that jewel that was embedded in the chest of the previous demon king was a symbol of the power of the demon king.

“Nonsense. The previous demon king Meia is dead. Haven’t we seen it ourselves! To pluck it from her chest!”

The orc trembled in fright. As the orc said, that was something that shouldn’t shine now. Because the devil is dead

Even that, by the hands of those who were once servants, cruelly and miserably. However, since that thing was shining now, it meant that the demon king was alive somewhere.

“Tell me, Agares. How the hell did this happen?”

“I don’t know. But that day, I did miss some of the defeated Demon King’s army. Maybe they cheated.”

Agares clenched the magic crystal in his hand and bit his lip. To be honest, he couldn’t believe it either.

The previous demon king, Meia, died without making a posterity. If they left a posterity, their power would be halved, so demon kings usually die leaving a posterity at the last moment. That’s why they hurt her without even giving it a chance.

“Anyway, isn’t there a problem?”

The grey-white orc who had been given the new name Amon trembled. It was not like a brave commander who played an active role with strong force.

“What if this fact reached the ears of humans?!”

The cause wasn’t just because the demon king was alive. On the contrary, they were extremely afraid of humans, to be precise, of just one person more than the demon lord.

It was because a non-standard existence descended on this land, which finally destroyed the fierce balance between the Pandemonium and the continent that had been going on for thousands of years through the last great war.

“There is no way that Saint Evelia would remain still with that personality!”

While talking, the orc squealed as he opened his small eyes as wide as possible from his rough face.

Saint Evelia. The living miracle, the one who breaks the balance, the incarnation of the archangel in legend, or the being called Advent.

It was because of her that they decided to betray and were even able to overcome the demon king’s dominance, the law of the demon realm.

The golden goddess, the god of the sky and the god of light, is an existence that appears only in legends, just like the devil.

However, the saintess was an actual apostle of such a goddess. It was like an angel from a legend.

Having overcome many crises since the beginning of the war, she wiped out the demons with the powerful power of calling the power of the gods. In addition, he continued to grow, strengthening the people around him and turning them into heroes.

She definitely called it ‘a player’s grace’ beyond the sky.

“quiet. I understand everyone’s fear. Since the goddess directly intervened through the saintess, our defeat was inevitable. At least they didn’t try to annihilate the entire demon realm, so we were able to live like this.”

Agares knocked on the desk to calm the other buzzing lords.

“But I don’t know what will happen if things aren’t neat. The saintess was as serious about killing the demon king.”

“He might be hiding somewhere with his gang and recovering his strength. We need to find it as soon as possible!”

Even those who were fighting each other at first were sincere at this moment. In the end, the 72 lords, the new rulers of the Demon Realm, decided that they should return to their respective territories and find the demon king who was obviously hiding.

“To restore power, the remains of the ancestors must have headed to the ancient ruins.”

“We need to catch the rebels who have not yet surrendered to us.”

They identified the position of the Demon King based on common sense and custom. It was so obvious that no one would dispute it.

But in the end, neither of them had access to the real truth.

The fact that the demon king is different from the existing demon kings, that he does not go to relics and ruins to recover his power, but tries to eat all living things, and that he does not have any power under his command and makes them ‘one’ with himself.

[Loss rate 18%, troop production increased, total troop armed goblins 150. Execute the next planned phase.]

Thanks to this, in a forgotten labyrinth, the demon king continued to fight and gradually became stronger.
