Kanon's [Knowledge] will grow to A in 40 days at the earliest.

　The choice to grow my 【Creation】 or 【Alchemy】 is an important crossroads that will influence my future strategy. Hence, I was thinking that I could wait for Kanon's 【Knowledge】 to grow in order to be fully prepared, but.......

　Forty days is too long.

　There's a good chance that the war situation between Kanazawa City's humanity and Demon King Kaoru will change significantly during the 40 days.

　

　If Demon King Kaoru wins the war against the humans in Kanazawa City, just as I took control of Kotetsu and Lina, there's a good chance that some of the brave humans in Kanazawa City will be under Demon King Kaoru's control, and there's a good chance that they'll surpass my level after a fierce battle. It's conceivable.

　On the other hand, if the humans in Kanazawa City liberated all of Demon King Kaoru's control territory... how many humans would reach level 50?　There is a possibility that a large number of Kotetsu and Lina-class humans could be born.

　Before that happens, while both sides are exhausted, we need to take control of the land in Kanazawa City and face Demon King Kaoru in a state of readiness.

　Even with their current strength, if they challenged him with an all-out effort, they could rule the lands of Kanazawa City and Hakusan City. However, it won't last after that. If they were to be challenged by Demon King Kaoru after they were exhausted, there was a good chance that they would be defeated, and even if they could win, they didn't know if they would be able to face the Demon King and the humans in Toyama and Fukui Prefectures that were coming up next.

　Everyone else is an enemy. Everything else is an enemy, including the other demon king and the human race.

　In order to survive - you have to keep winning.

　The only way to survive is to keep growing.

　I regret that I was late in leveling the canon, and I jumped into the sea of thoughts again.


　◆


　I assemble countless stories in my head.

　--What do I want to be in the future?

　--How do you deal with the enemy?

　--What kind of development will the Astor Empire achieve?

　...enemies?

　Who is the enemy?　--It's someone other than me, the Demon King, or mankind.

　Who is the stronger opponent?　Which enemy is harder to fight?

'I have a question for you all. Who do you think is harder to fight, the Demon King or the humans?
You don't know the difference between a demon king and a human being.
"The Demon King--Kaol, the human race--is that the human race in Kanazawa?

　Takaharu gives a curt response to my question, and Kanon applies a specific name to it.

'I'll take Kanon's word for it. Who is the stronger enemy, the Demon King Kaoru or the humans of Kanazawa City?

Isn't that the Demon King?　A high-level demon lord has more troops than you do.
It's the Demon King!　Unless there are a hundred people like Kote-chan, though...
'The Demon King. The Demon King could have humans under his command, but not the other way around.
You're the Demon King. The only one who defeated us is the Demon King, Lord Theon.
''It's the Demon King. ''It's troublesome to rule, but it's possible that controlling a high-level demon king's control territory isn't troublesome, but impossible.''
"Demon king...?　Governing the Zhuzhou City Hall was tough, but I think the battle against the Demon King Arisa was the toughest.

　Takaharu, Sarah, Lina, Saburo, Hibiki, and Kanon each answer that they are the Demon King.

The Demon King. There are many humans who cannot fight, but there is no demon who cannot fight.

　Finally, Kotetsu replied, "The Demon King.

''I knew it, Demon King.''

　I'll take the responses from all of them.

　It's unclear in the future. For example, if the majority of humanity grows to level 50 in the future, the answer might change. However, at present - the Demon King is one step ahead of us.

　If we think of the antagonists.......the status that makes them grow is - [Creation].

　The battle against the anthropoid will mainly be a large-scale battle to launch 《Ruling》. If that's the case, then 【Creation】, which allows for the placement of powerful subordinates over a wide area, would be suitable.

　If that's the case, how about against the Demon King?

'Next question. If you could grow one status, if you could grow one, what would it be?
It's physical!
It's magical.

　Two brainiacs answer immediately.

'Change the question. If it were [Creation] or [Alchemy], which one would you grow?　Or, which one do you think the other Demon King will grow?
Isn't that [creation]?　The tougher areas of control are usually the ones that specialize in [creation].
"[Creation].　[Creation] is like a demon king's prerogative?
[Creation]. Creating a stronger group of people is the fastest way to victory.
''It's [Creation], and if you know the difference in performance between the subordinates you were creating when you were C-ranked and the subordinates you were creating when you were B-ranked... I think it's normal to choose [Creation].''
''As I said before, [Creation] is the prerogative of the Demon King!　The growth of [creation] has a direct impact on the growth of the dominant area!　From now on, we can expect to see a war of such magnitude that it's not an exaggeration to call it a war. The decisive factor in winning a war is the quality of the troops--that is, the quality of the men under your command!　Hence, I recommend to Mr. Zion as a chief of staff that the growth of [Creation] that higher-ranked subordinates can create!

　The five former Demon King's replied in unison with their voices, [Creation].

　I myself was also planning to grow 【Creation】.

　If it's a Demon King who has survived to this point.......other than Demon Kings who specialize in 【Physical】 and 【Magic Power】, the majority of Demon Kings would choose to specialize in 【Creation】.

　Hence - wouldn't it be more interesting to grow [Refinement]?

　I have arrived at the conclusion that.

　Analyzing the level 10 and above demon kings surviving right now, the majority of demon kings are B-ranked in [Creation]. There are some brainy demon kings who specialize in 【Physical】 and 【Magic Power】, but they are in the overwhelming minority.

　It's been about two years since the 【World Salvation Project】 started. The mechanism of this world, which had been full of unknowns, has gradually been clarified. As a result of the clarification - many Demon Kings realized the superiority of [Creation].

　I myself was planning to grow 【Creation】 to A rank once I accumulated 50 BP.

　This was where I came to simulate one future.
