"After all, only in this way can we truly obtain the Demon King's power."

"You should know this very well too."

“I am lacking in this war, so I must find a way to make up for it.”

"Therefore, necessary killing is indispensable."

Even if we try to hide it, it's pointless. As fellow demon kings, how could they not see through the clues?

It would be better to admit it then and then explain the benefits to them.

This is a difficult situation.

If simply giving away some valuable items is enough to make the other person not mind, then it saves a lot of trouble.

The problem is that if Berserker disagrees with doing this, then things will get complicated.

"Knew it."

"I can give you some rare items as compensation."

"no need."

(Why was the rejection so swift?)

It's like a salesperson trying to sell a product, but being turned away before they can even introduce it.

Ainz felt a sudden jolt in his heart, wondering if the other party was being too irrational.

Shouldn't you at least listen to the whole thing and think about it?

Could it be that Berserker is actually a very "emotional" player type?

These kinds of people usually don't care about the consequences; they just think, "If you mess with me, I'll definitely make you suffer no matter the cost."

Ainz has encountered this before; in fact, quite a few players share this sentiment.

I miscalculated.

If Berserker is indeed this type of person, then the alliance he invited today may really have no chance of success.

The matter of the "Demon King" alone is impossible to explain clearly.

Ultimately, he was the one who benefited, while the other party suffered "damage."

But looking at Rimuru's expression, he felt something was wrong.

Why did he have that expression?

It's as if they've already "broken ties."

Did he misunderstand something?

Carefully considering his previous words, Ainz wondered if he had said anything wrong.

What puzzled Ainz was Rimuru's attitude from beginning to end.

From calm to disappointment to silence

He couldn't quite figure out what the person in front of him was thinking.

(If it's not just because of the Demon King, then what could it be?)

(The killing of soldiers. Explanation and reasons.)

(Is this what he cares about?)

After thinking for a moment, he realized he had grasped the key point.

Would a demon lord care about the deaths of humans?

Ainz thought that should be impossible.

How could there be such an "outlier"?

Theoretically speaking, the other party must have done something similar to have the full power of the Demon King.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for someone to have such a "compassionate" mentality.

"Rider"

"It seems you've gotten one thing wrong from the beginning."

Rimuru's voice gradually rose, and the content of her words made Ainz realize that the situation was beyond his expectations.

"I've never cared about the identity of the Demon King."

"In fact, I wouldn't have chosen to become the Demon King if it weren't necessary."

"I won't stop you from trying to become the Demon King, but your methods..."

"I will not agree."

Staring at Ainz, Rimuru revealed his true thoughts.

What is the Demon King's status?

That's not something he's ever cared about.

Together with his companions, they created a kingdom of monsters and forged friendships with humans.

Rimuru's wish is to achieve peaceful coexistence and hold banquets every day.

Kill other creatures, unify the world, enslave, etc.

Rimuru never considered these things.

Rather, he never intended to harm anyone.

The opportunity to become the Demon King was also driven to desperation by the invaders killing his companions.

The undead before them, on the other hand, became a demon king solely for personal gain.

Willing to sacrifice others

"Rider"

"Both are Demon Kings."

"I'm different from you!"

Chapter 524 524 The Strange Saber!

Both are demon kings

I'm not like you!

"Huh"

The words echoed in his mind, but Ainz laughed, drawing out the tone.

"Hahaha"

"To become a demon king, one must inevitably trample on lives."

"Berserker, do you really think you're innocent?"

Although we don't know what the other party is thinking, there is a fatal problem.

Yes

The Demon King is not so easily obtained.

That is an "achievement" that can only be obtained by ravaging living beings.

Ainz didn't believe that he could claim the title of Demon King just because he was safe and sound.

In this case, what's different?

Don't the lives he killed also exist?

"Indeed, I admit that I have killed humans."

"But I absolutely did not do it for the sake of personal gain or the identity of the Demon King."

"Even if I become the Demon King, I am still willing to live in peace with all kinds of creatures."

Rimuru does not deny that she has killed people.

After all, the incident of "the wrath of the gods" was still fresh in his mind, and he did indeed do it.

But it wasn't trouble he actively provoked; rather, it was an invasion planned by others.

Even after experiencing such a thing, Rimuru still maintains a normal mindset.

He wouldn't be so crazy as to randomly hate or take his anger out on other unrelated people.

"Of course, the enemy is an exception."

Magic collided with magic, creating an impenetrable pressure that surged through the alleyway.

"Hmph, I thought you were going to say something."

"Even though he's become the Demon King, he still has those naive thoughts."
