§ 22. Overlord’s Goal

In Gadeciola’s capital of Galadenaga, earthrain was falling. Eternalized boulders easily pierced through the Beno Ievun, the god-repelling magic wall, and rained down upon the city.

“Oh, but it’s dirty there!”

“Hah!”

The Demon King’s Choir sang Demon King Hymn No. Six, Neighbor alongside the people of Gadeciola. They all performed the fist-thrusting choreography together.

“The place no one knows...”

“Hah!”

With each thrust of their fists, the falling rain of boulders was crushed and dispersed.

“It’s dirty there!”

“Hah!”

They had desperately learned the song and choreography while under the falling earthrain. Unlike the people of Jiordal, they were unfamiliar with singing, and unlike the people of Agatha, their bodies were untrained. Their singing was poor and their movements were lacking as a result, but by contrast their hearts were earnest about protecting their neighbors.

“So please don’t come through the door!”

“So please don’t enter, no no!”

“Hah!”

Another earthrain in the sky crumbled. Of course, I was the one using Leviangilma to cut apart the boulders to the tune of the song, but the people of Gadeciola didn’t know that. To them, it appeared as though the power of the song alone was responsible for destroying the boulders.

“He’ll teach you everything the scriptures missed! Everything!”

“Hah hah hah! Hah hah hah!”

They sang and thrust their fists out. They were so focused on protecting Galadenaga with their voices and bodies, they didn’t bother to question why a mere song and dance could block the earthrain in the first place.

“In-cum, in-cum, incoming, woo-ooh!”

“Oh my! I didn’t know such a world existed!”

“Hah! Hah! Haaaaaaaaah!”

With the last earthrain deflected, the rumbling sound overhead gradually died down.

Several seconds later, there was silence. The skytremor was over. The instrumental to Neighbor continued playing as Dias and the other robed men of Gadeciola gazed up at the dome while panting.

Eventually, they realized the skytremor had ceased.

“Did it work...?”

“It looks like it... Though I have no idea what magic that was...”

“Well... It was a good song...”

Dias chuckled at the last comment. “I thought the same. The lyrics about opening the forbidden door reminded me of us citizens of Gadeciola.”

The man he spoke to smiled broadly.

“Yeah, it really struck a chord in me,” he said. “No matter how forbidden or dirty the idea is, we’ll push forward with faith in ourselves. That’s what we’ve done until now.”

“It’s nice how they’re talking about something that isn’t just scripture too,” Dias added. “It’s like they’re saying that those teachings aren’t everything in this world.”

“Don’t forget the ending. Oh my! I didn’t know such a world existed! The lyrics convey the joy of reaching our nation, a paradise where all gods have been eradicated. It’s masterful.”

“Speaking of lyrics, what’s a Demon King?”

“That has to be referring to our hearts. Instead of believing in the gods, we have to love our neighbors. Depicting the heart as the king of demons—the one who opposes the gods—is a work of genius!”

“Say, the thought just came to me, but... Gadeciola still doesn’t have a national anthem yet, right?”

The rest of the robed men fell silent at those words, thinking carefully.
