Chapter 254: The Sage Looks Back on His Nemesis
Now that I think about it, it was rare to find an enemy with as much history as Baruch did.
I remembered how we fought each other many times when I was still a human.
His schemes were always tricky and threw me off.
But the reason we managed to overcome it anyway was probably because of that person.
When I first became the Demon Lord, Baruch burned with the fires of vengeance.
He formed a strategy to revive the previous Demon Lord Diella and fought against me with all his might.
Even though I managed to win in the end, Baruchs obsession didn't end there.
With the help of Gwen, he colluded with John Doe and fought me in the spiritual world after his death.
I was honestly impressed by his insatiable desire for vengeance.
For me, the man named Baruch was a shaman who had been hostile to me for a long time.

Baruchs soul was still trying to restore itself even when it was stored in a container.
That was his characteristic.
Even after he died, he would revive himself after a few years.
Even if his soul was destroyed with magic, it would come back over time.
To prevent that, I always kept his soul damaged and prevented his resurrection.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
However, it wasnt that high in priority now.
This soul was no longer possessed by Baruchs spirit.
It was because it has already been obliterated in my spiritual world.
Since then, the return of his ego hadnt been observed.
The former four heavenly king Baruch seemed to have died and left his soul behind.
It was a very rare condition, but he had a special constitution to begin with.
This kind of thing could happen.
This is a very pure soul. It likely ended up in this state because Gwen-san pulled out the spirit inside. Its very fascinating no matter how many times I see it!
The directors cheeks were flushed as she spoke enthusiastically.
Although I understood how rare it was, her impression was beyond that.
She was so excited that she began to monologue.
Since it was the usual sight, I chose not to retort.
Humanity was looking for a hero at the moment.
By taking advantage of that, I was trying to revive one of the greatest heroes in history.
The Will of the World would definitely raise the success rate without a doubt.
I knew well the absurd law to destroy evil would cause such an effect.
Finally, Ill be able to meet that person again.
How would she feel when she sees the state of the world today?
And what would she think of me as the Demon Lord?
Would she get angry saying I made stupid choice?
Would she feel sad for what Ive become?
At the very least, I was sure she wouldnt feel happy.
For her justice-minded self, there was no way she would like this kind of solution.
I was thinking of conveying my thoughts of world peace.
I had no idea how she would react to it.
If she could accept the world peace created through the Demon Lord, that would be great.
I would build an eternal Demon Lords army along with her, with relief and joy.
That was the ideal result.
The world peace maintained by an absolute evil would be everlasting.
But considering how goodhearted she was, it was likely for her to reject my ideals.
That person was a person who lived in justice.
It was because she was such a person that I longed for her more than anyone else.
She would likely be unable to understand my methods and we end up crossing blades.
It was the development I wanted to avoid facing.
However, I need to be ready to face it head on.
The path to meet with that person again was already underway.
There were conflicts and fears, but I would still go on.
Back then, both I and that person failed in trying to achieve poetic justice.
Therefore, I sought to unite humanity through domination and threat.
That was the only path I have left.
I was the Demon Lord of Mediation. I need to meet the hero who saved the world once more.
