Demon God

Chapter 179: Supreme Monarch, Overlord.



"N-no fucking way...is this what Fate meant when she said she'll send Him to me..."

Gaud murmured as he remembered the time when he was about to be locked up in the Inner World.

There was a woman who said that the Supreme Monarch, Overlord would save Gaud and grant him his freedom again.

However, Gaud didn't believe it as the existence of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was not real.

There was a reason why Supreme Monarch, Overlord was considered to be a myth inside a myth of a myth.

That was why Gaud didn't think that this day would come.

However, there was nothing Gaud could do about it now that he saw it for himself.

The Pandemonium was a power that only the Supreme Monarch, Overlord could use.

It was a power that many wanted, but not even one could get it.

That was why...it was like a signature skill and it was something that Gaud recognized right away.

After all, although the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was a myth inside a myth of a myth, the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was still a well-known folklore.

People talked about it all the time, and many made the power of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord as their goal.

It was even considered to be the symbol of power millions of years ago.

Just by having a nickname connected with the Supreme Monarch, Overlord means that one is extremely strong.

That was how strong the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was in the folklore.

However, that folklore was...well, it just consisted of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord.

It was literally about him and his powers, and that was all.

Of course, just like any other folklore, the story of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord soon faded into irrelevance.

After all, that story was from millions of years ago. It would be weird if it were able to stay in relevance after millions of years.

That was also why the people of the current generation don't know who the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was.

The only reason why Gaud even knows about the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was because he was from that time.

Gaud was just that old, and he was that strong that he could live millions of years.

However, there was a real reason why Gaud knew that the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was not a real person or existence.

And that was...it was just a story.

Right, that was the real reason why Gaud knew that the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was not a real person.

After all, it's not like famous stories would suddenly become real just because they were famous.

Things don't work like that, even in this world.

That was also why Gaud knew that Desire...was not really the incarnation of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord, or something like that.

If Desire was the Supreme Monarch, Overlord, then Desire would already be the strongest creature existing in the world.

There would be no need for Gaud to bless him, and there would be no need for Desire to train himself.

Desire...would just have to be Desire and he would already be strong.

However, since Desire was not like that, Gaud was sure that Desire was not the Supreme Monarch, Overlord.

But...since Desire could use The Pandemonium, Gaud was also sure that Desire...was somehow connected to the Supreme Monarch, Overlord.

"However, that's impossible. The Supreme Monarch...He is not real. An illusion. A fabrication. A fake story."

Gaud couldn't imagine how Desire was connected to the Supreme Monarch, Overlord as the Supreme Monarch, Overlord was really just a fabrication.

After all, there's no way an existing and real person, Desire, would be connected to a fabrication, and a fake story.

That would be just too weird, even for Gaud.

That was why Gaud couldn't even begin to imagine how Desire was connected to the Supreme Monarch, Overlord.

No...it would be more correct to say that Desire was...the real-life Supreme Monarch, Overlord.

At least, that was how Gaud saw this situation.

"A real-life Supreme Monarch..." Gaud murmured as he imagined the possibilities of such a being.

Gaud was sure that the worlds would soon be stirred up as soon as Desire becomes aware of himself. Of course, that would be the case if he was truly a real-life version of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord.

Even though Gaud didn't know how it came to this, Gaud didn't care about it anymore.

After all, the woman said that the Supreme Monarch, Overlord would come to free him.

And that was what Gaud wanted ever since he has been locked up in the Inner World; freedom.

He wanted his freedom back, and if it takes the Supreme Monarch, Overlord...Desire to have that, then...Gaud has no problems with that.

Gaud also didn't care about why there was a real-life version of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord.

He didn't care about how Desire came to life, nor why did he even exist.

As long as Desire would be the one to fulfill his wish, that would be enough for Gaud.

"It's ironic. The Supreme Monarch in the folktale was the one who controls everything, including fate."

"But in the real-life...it seems that Fate is the one controlling you."

Fate was the woman who told Gaud of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord...of Desire.

Fate was the one who mentioned to Gaud that Desire would be the one to come and give him his freedom back.

And since what Fate has said has come true as Desire did come into this place, it was clear as day that Fate was putting some work into controlling Desire and his life.

And that was ironic. The Supreme Monarch, Overlord in the folktale was the one who controls everything.

He controls life, death, destiny, and the universe. He was literally the strongest creature to ever exist.

Well, that was only because he was the only creature in that folklore. His folklore was literally about him.

Anyway, that was why...for the real-life version of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord to be controlled like this...it was ironic.

At least, for Gaud, it was ironic.

"So that is why you have already done many great things even though you are young."

"Indeed, indeed...what a surprise this is."

"Still...I never expected that the Supreme Monarch, Overlord would be a mess."

Gaud said as he looked at Desire's body. Desire's body was still the same when he passed out.

And it was...clearly a mess. Of course, what Gaud was talking about was the colors that Desire had.

Some colors, white and black...it was truly a mess, but it seems that something changed as Gaud could see that the black was now overpowering the other colors.

"Hmm? Is this because of what happened?"

"If that is the case, then this Enlightened One shall apologize when we meet again."

Gaud murmured as he felt something tugging at him. And that was...the time limit was almost near.

Right, the time limit for Desire to stay in the Inner World is near.

Of course, even though what Desire did was an insolent action towards the Sage of the Eight Godly Paths, Gaud didn't mind it anymore.

Besides, it's not like any real harm has been done to Gaud.

What's more, Gaud actually came to know that Desire was the real-life version of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord.

What happened was truly something Gaud was looking for, and that was why Gaud didn't really mind it.

"Shall I give the blessings, then...the task shall be...well, I'm sure the revered one would find out sooner or later."

Gaud said as he raised his staff once more. He then raised his left arm as he made some signs.

"Go back to the physical world, revered one."

"Warp."

Gaud said as the Inner World began to shake. Of course, that was something Gaud did.

However, that shaking only lasted for a few seconds as Desire's body...soon disappeared in this place.

Right, Desire disappeared in this place like a bubble popped out of existence.

Of course, Gaud was able to give his blessings, so...once Desire finishes the task he gave, Desire should be able to open the door of Understanding of Power fully.

After all, even though Desire was the real-life version of the Supreme Monarch, Overlord, he was, technically, still a Quarter God.

A Quarter God must open the Eight Godly Paths for a Quarter God to become a God.

Desire would have to open the Understanding of Power to become a God.

That was why Gaud assumed that this was just one of the paths that Desire would take.

Gaud also assumed that Desire...would have to do many things first before he becomes as strong as the Supreme Monarch, Overlord in the folklore.

It was then that Gaud turned around as he began to walk towards the inner place of the Inner World.

"Although the Supreme Monarch, Overlord in the folktale is strong, that is only because there are no enemies in the folktale."

"However, in the real world, there are many enemies even though you have not done them wrong."

"Ohh, revered one...how would you surpass them?"

Gaud spoke...as the surroundings became dim, and Gaud disappeared in the inner place of the Inner World.

Gaud would then wait...for the time when Desire would grant him his freedom.

"If that truly happens, this Enlightened One would be happy to serve you, Oh, Supreme Monarch."
