    Episode 196

    Okay. That’s an answer I just can’t understand.

    But I meant it.

    These tricks by the Marquis of Goras actually helped Christian.

    “…What on earth are you up to?”

    “Well, it’s nothing too grand. After all, all I have to do is prove Marquis Goras’s guilt in front of everyone. It’s simple.”

    Duke Huam laughed in vain, not knowing what on earth could be so simple.

    “But can I tell you one thing in advance?”

    “What is it?”

    “I will make Marquis Goras kneel in this agreement. However, I will do something that will make His Highness uncomfortable in the process, so I ask for your understanding in advance.”

    Duke Huam frowned slightly.

    “What does that mean? Can you explain it to me in more detail?”

    Chris nodded silently and opened his mouth low.

    Duke Huam’s eyes widened as he listened to the explanation, as if they were about to tear apart.

    After that, the agreement was concluded.

    The location was a large hall set aside for the poisonous Maga.

    As he entered, the eyes of the numerous mines that had already taken their places were fixed on Christian.

    The majority were of the Marquis of Goras’s faction, and the hostile atmosphere weighed on Christian.

    The faces of Count Kazar and Count Berkel of the Black Lion Knights, who had come in as escorts, were stiff, but Chris simply shrugged.

    ‘Are you trying to press my energy with numbers? Cute trick. Well, that’s good.’

    Christian raised the corners of his mouth.

    ‘When I think about what I’m going to do soon, the larger the audience, the better.’

    Marquis Goras would not know.

    The reason Chris chose the Poisonous Maga as the location for the agreement was to use the Poisonous Maga’s minions as audiences for what was about to happen.

    ‘Isn’t it the most shameful thing to be humiliated in front of your subordinates in your own bedroom?’

    Christian walked with leisurely steps and soon came face to face with a figure.

    A cold man with a snake-like appearance.

    It was the Marquis of Goras.

    ‘What great energy.’

    Christian raised the corners of his lips at the tingling sensation.

    He certainly seemed to be several levels above Duke Huam.

    The momentum seemed to be subtly trying to pressure Christian.

    Instinctively, his body began to tremble, but Christian controlled his physical response and did not react.

    ‘Even if you pretend to be scared, you know you can’t do anything here, right?’

    Not only did he resist, he also laughed at me.

    “Indeed, the power of the Vice-Chief of the Extreme Poison Maga is truly great. It seems that the Vice-Chief of the Extreme Poison Maga is so great that he does not even pay attention to His Majesty the Demon King who is about to arrive.”

    “!!”

    Marquis Goras flinched.

    Although it has not been revealed yet, it is certain that the act of drawing power from a position presided over by the Demon King of the Clear Stream could be considered an act of ignoring the Demon King of the Clear Stream.

    It’s like I got hit with a punch before the main event even started.

    “…….”

    Marquis Goras did not respond and just looked away.

    Christian shrugged and closed his mouth.

    I’m just concentrating on the character who will appear soon.

    Tick, tick, time passed.

    And it was the moment when the clock’s hand pointed exactly to the hour.

    Something strange happened in the intestines.

    The sound disappeared.

    It wasn’t just sound.

    The slight movement of the wind, the swaying of the bushes, even the movements of people stopped.

    ‘What is this?’

    A little later, goosebumps ran down people’s spines.

    Even though he hadn’t yet revealed himself, his overwhelming presence filled the room.

    Then the unbelievable happened.

    Phew.

    The scenery inside the store has changed.

    The appearance of the indoor negotiation room was transformed into a gray landscape.

    “Wow, welcome?”

    “what?”

    The mines cried out in confusion.

    Only a few people who knew the true nature of this phenomenon swallowed their breath without panicking.

    ‘This is not just a welcome.’

    Chris thought with a hardened expression on his face.

    ‘The power of the nine stars. Creation’s descent.’

    It was the power of a 9-star transcendent realm that allowed one to create one’s own little world.

    A withered world tree rose above the barren forest, and a figure appeared above it.

    A beautiful fairy woman with an eerie appearance, her entire body pierced with thin iron chains.

    Everyone in the room knelt down before her.

    “Meet His Majesty the Demon King!!”

    It was the appearance of the Demon King of Cheongryu.

    * * *

    The Demon King of the Clear Stream looked down at the kneeling people for a moment in silence.

    Chris lowered his head and clenched his fists.

    ‘That’s the Demon King of Cheongryu.’

    It was my first time meeting her.

    Because the Demon King of Cheongryu died in his previous life before the era of destruction came.

    ‘This is the level of creation.’

    This wasn’t Chris’ first time meeting Nine Stars.

    Even the warrior Evan and the archmage Lanya who were always together were 9-stars.

    Besides that, he was acquainted with several other Seven Lords of the Union.

    So, we were able to roughly compare the 9 stars.

    ‘It’s a being that is close to the top among the nine stars.’

    Even among the 9 stars, not all 9 stars were the same. There was a large gap in power even among the 9 stars.

    As a simple example, in the past, the Demon King of Blood was able to defeat four of the Seven Lords, the nine superhumans of the alliance, by himself.

    ‘It’s a much stronger force than I expected. I’m only ranked 7th, but I can’t believe it’s at that level.’

    There was a reason I thought about it so seriously.

    Chris plans to resolve all the chaos that will occur in the Southern Magic Kingdom, and will eventually confront the mastermind behind it, the Demon King of Cheongryu.

    His primary goal, the formation of the Dark Alliance, will be completed by beheading the Demon King of the Blue Stream.

    ‘Of course I have a plan, but it’s going to be a lot harder than I expected.’

    At that moment, the voice of the Demon King of Cheongryu was heard.

    [Everyone, raise your heads. We will begin the agreement. Representatives of both families, please come forward.]

    Christian and the Marquis de Goras stepped forward.

    The Demon King of the Clear Stream leaned lazily against the World Tree, holding a bear cub in his mouth.

    [Let each of you state your point of view. I will listen to both sides and then make a decision.]

    First, Christian told the whole story he had discovered.

    It is said that the Marquis of Goras and his followers spread poison in the western territory of the Dark Maga, and evidence of this has been secured.

    “It’s all lies.”

    Marquis Goras retorted coldly.

    “This is a fabrication by Archduke Christian of the Dark House and Princess Marisa of the main house.”

    [Is there any basis for saying that?]

    “Of course. First of all, here is evidence that Princess Marisa planned this.”

    Marquis Goras brought in several documents and witnesses.

    From the beginning, he had been trying to shift the blame for this incident onto Marissa, and the evidence was impeccable.

    [What is the basis for the claim that Archduke Christian staged the play?]

    “Archduke Christian fabricated evidence to frame his vassals who followed his convictions. I have secured witnesses to this as well. Let them come forward.”

    Soon a figure of thought appeared.

    But it was a completely unexpected face.

    “Ugh, ugh!!”

    It was a beautiful woman with a neat impression, Ruina!

    ‘…Why is he standing there like that?’

    Chris looked dumbfounded.

    I never thought that Ruina would be caught.

    ‘Be careful.’

    It was something that would make Ruina go crazy if she heard it.

    But Chris really had no idea that Ruina would be caught.

    ‘I thought the bottom line would be caught manipulating actual evidence.’

    So Chris deliberately asked bad guys with a history of fraud to fabricate evidence, even if it meant getting caught and suffering in the face of extreme hardship.

    But how did Ruina get caught?

    ‘Well, it’s not my fault.’

    Chris shrugged as he watched Ruina look at him with resentment.

    ‘It’s my fault for not being careful. I really didn’t mean to make things difficult for Ruina.’

    Anyway, it didn’t seem like there was much to worry about.

    Thanks to his unique talents, he didn’t suffer any hardships, and his appearance was fine.

    ‘I guess it all blew up as soon as it was caught.’

    As expected, it’s Ruina.

    There was no such thing as loyalty.

    Indeed, as soon as the gag was released, Ruina shouted:

    “It was all done on the orders of that damn Christian devil!! All I did was do as I was told!”

    “…….”

    “You bastard who’s going to kill Christian!! Long live the poisonous Maga!! Long live His Majesty the Marquis of Goras!! Long live His Majesty the Demon King of the Clear Stream!!!”

    There, Ruina continued to confess endlessly about how she had fabricated evidence under Christian’s orders without anyone asking her about it.

    “Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!!”

    The Marquis of Goras frowned at the sight of the equation and gagged him again.

    “As the evidence is so clear, it is clear that Princess Marisa and Archduke Christian joined hands to frame me.”

    Marquis Goras continued speaking in a cold tone.

    “In particular, attempting to massacre civilians is an unforgivable sin. I request His Majesty the Fair and Just Demon King that both Princess Marisa and Archduke Christian be severely punished.”

    All eyes in the room turned to Christian.

    If things continue like this, I will inevitably end up being blamed.

    But then Chris said something unexpected.

    “I object. How can we trust that woman?”

    Judging by her actions, it seems that Ruina hasn’t even realized that she is the head of both Rudolph & Deer.

    Originally, in the Magic Empire, they used the ‘Mask of a Thousand’ relic to act as men.

    Chris said crookedly.

    “Could it be that he is giving false testimony at the instigation of the poisonous Mark? Doesn’t he look like a fraud just by looking at his appearance?”

    “No, no! It was all done by that bastard Christian!! Long live the poisonous Maga! Long live the Marquis of Goras!! Long live His Majesty the Demon King of the Clear Stream!!”

    “Look at that frivolous attitude. I can’t trust your words.”

    Ruina looked as if she was about to burst.

    At that time, Marquis Goras said.

    “After checking, it turns out that all of that woman’s testimony is true. Don’t you know that such groundless denials are actually working against you?”

    Even the Dark Maga figures, including Count Kazar, responded that they could not understand.

    It’s a clear fact that Christian fabricated the evidence. There’s no point in denying it like that, right?

    But Christian continued his incomprehensible claims.

    “I cannot trust the testimony of that witness, so I beg His Majesty the Great Demon King to allow me to use the ‘Confession of Truth’ of the extremely poisonous Maga.”

    In an instant, there was a commotion in the room.

    The Truth Confession Squad was a whopping 7-star ‘transgressive poison’.

    As the name suggests, it was a poison that forced one to tell the truth, but it was a completely different type of torture poison that forced one to open their mouth through pain.

    Through ‘transfer’, it determines whether the person who took it is telling the truth, and if they are lying, it melts them into blood.

    The key here is to determine the truth of the statement.

    Because it interferes with the laws and perfectly distinguishes the truth, anyone who has eaten the confession pills will not be able to tell any lies.

    “The Confession of Truth is a treasure of the family. It is not something to be used carelessly.”

    When Marquis Goras spoke as if he was displeased, Chris snickered.

    “I guess the poisonous Mark side is taking this incident lightly. Thousands of innocent people were almost murdered.”

    The Marquis of Goras was speechless.

    But soon he nodded.

    I don’t know what Christian was thinking, but from Marquis Goras’s point of view, it wasn’t a bad suggestion.

    If you write a confession to Ruina, it will become even clearer that Christian fabricated the evidence.
