317,

Cyclone felt a sense of tension when it came to the curse from Basbasi.

This might be the first time someone was showing off their life.

It wasn't just one of his plans, but the laughter also came from the bottom of his heart because of Basbasi's reaction.

Indeed, everything went smoothly.

"First..."

Cyclone turned around and looked at Basbasi with regret.

"You guys didn't kill their leader~"

"What?!"

"General Asmod... he committed suicide!"

"What?"

"Is that so?"

"Didn't our hunting team succeed..."

The gaze in the throne room suddenly shifted to the people related to the hunting team.

"Oh~"

First, Churchill smiled for the first time because he found it interesting.

"Y-Yes, that's right..."

"Tsk!! The princess herself could have dealt the final blow to him!"

Next was Karl, one of the Four Lords of Allen, and his White Snake Princess.

"Master is right, that man laughed and then..."

"So that's how it was..."

Cyclone didn't wait for the whispers of those ministers to end and continued speaking loudly.

"Second! The Grand Prime Minister wasn't killed by you guys either!"

"..."

With that statement, all the whispers really stopped.

"Third!! The Witch wasn't 'captured', but rather I 'brought' her back!!"

Once again, silence fell in the throne room.

"...So what? What does what you're saying prove? Bring forth evi..."

Cyclone didn't answer, he just shook his head.

"And also, the one who made General Asmod commit suicide was me!"

"...Huh?"

Cyclone, at that moment, turned around again and looked back at King Allen.

"Your Majesty! What will you choose?"

Cyclone seized the opportunity given to him by Asmod.

"Do you know why Asmod chose to commit suicide? Because he made a choice, with his strength alone..."

Cyclone shook his head, wanting to use a better word to describe Asmod's choice.

"Even if he was the only one, he made a choice to stop this meaningless slaughter!"

Cyclone took a step forward, and with one more step, he would step onto the stairs.

"What about you? Will you continue the slaughter?"

"That's enough!!! How can't you understand this, you brat!!!"

It wasn't King Allen this time, but Basbasi.

"So what if what you said is true? What you and the demon's General did is what's meaningless. He's already dead, in the eyes of the demons, we caused his death. Do you think it will stop just like that? If we don't eliminate all the evil on the continent now, they will come back one day!!"

"That's just your opinion!"

"Cyclone, my hero, that's enough. Although the Vice General's words were a bit too much, it's normal given the circumstances."

Finally, Minister Stanny also spoke up.

"Why... Why do you suspect things that are unclear to you all!"

Cyclone paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

"What do you mean by triggering ancient wars again? What do you mean by 'they will come back'? What revenge? All these things you're talking about, they are just things that haven't happened."

Standing in front of the stairs, Cyclone looked back at the ministers behind him.

"To use one's own 'imagination' for defense, to use one's own 'suspicion' for slaughter, this is worse than a demon... even more evil!"

"You!?"

"Your Majesty!!"

Instead of the next person who wanted to argue with Cyclone, he shouted first at King Allen.

"At this moment, you still have a chance!!"

Cyclone raised his right hand and clenched it in front of King Allen, as if implying that something had to be grasped.

"Prove that you are different, prove that you have the ability, prove... that the world you speak of is a happy one!"

Cyclone wanted to take another step forward, but he held back, not yet able to.

"Stop!"

Although he didn't take another step forward, Cyclone paused slightly to speak, in order to deliver the following words to King Allen's heart.

"Choice is just a moment, in an instant you can stop this boring slaughter, in an instant you can change the future!"
