Chapter 217: Becoming the Demon King and Facing the Death Divination Information

~7 min read 1,299 words

"Welcome, aren't you Yunyun and Huihui?"

The party of three arrived at the divination shop, and Soket recognized Yunyun and Huihui, greeting the two girls.

"Good morning, Miss Soket, I'm here to have you divine for me."

As Huihui spoke, she walked straight over and sat in the seat opposite the fortune teller.

"What do you want to divine? Is it about the outcome of a romance?"

Soket asked. The matter of the otherworldly visitor boy pursuing a village girl was no secret; on the contrary, the villagers of Crimson Demon Village would chat about this topic after tea and meals.

Quite a few Crimson Demons found this novel romance setting fresh and intriguing, all wanting to know what the final outcome would turn out to be; simply put, a group of gossips wanting to eat melons.

"No, I'm not here for that kind of divination. I want a career divination."

Huihui said with a black face.

"I want to know my future — what kind of work I'll do."

She stated her purpose directly.

"Won't you consider a love divination? I won't charge you."

Soket recommended enthusiastically.

"If you won't divine for me, I'll go find someone else!"

Huihui said directly.

"Alright, alright, I'll divine for you right now."

Hearing this, Soket finally got serious.

"Your future career, is it?"

The Crimson Demon Clan's first beauty, and simultaneously the First Diviner, Soket, placed her hand on the crystal ball on the table, manipulating indescribable magic power and injecting it into the divination crystal ball.

Images soon surfaced inside the crystal ball — just like a bad signal, somewhat like an old television set — the surfaced images were very blurry.

But with adjustment, the images gradually became clear; although still a bit pixelated, being able to achieve this step meant she had already surpassed ninety-nine percent of fortune tellers in this world.

"Let me see. Huihui, your future work is……"

"A challenger who overestimates their capabilities, daring to challenge me, Huihui-sama — tremble beneath my Explosion Magic……"

Naturally no sound came from the crystal ball, but Soket had performed divinations countless times and had long since learned to read the lip movements of figures in blurry images to interpret the words spoken by the people in the divined future scenes.

However, the future Huihui's very first sentence nearly struck her with lightning.

When the images on the crystal ball continued to change, Soket discovered Huihui — her face covered in striped mosaics — seated regally on a black throne decorated with skulls.

Draped in a cloak, wearing a blood-red uniform, a group of somewhat familiar-looking minions half-kneeled beneath the throne.

The girl lifted her staff and laughed wildly, then launched Explosion Magic at the surging human army — truly the very picture of a comparatively traditional Demon King.

"Hey, Miss Soket, why did you suddenly stop talking? What exactly is my future job?"

As someone other than the fortune teller, Huihui could also see the light on the crystal ball, but saw it even more blurrily, which made her urge her on.

"Huihui, your future job… seems to be Demon King……"

Soket fell silent for a moment, then spoke the future situation she had divined.

"What?"

Yunyun's eyes went wide, while beside her Huihui, upon hearing "Demon King," first froze — but once the freeze passed, laughter rang from her mouth, rising from soft to shrill.

"Hahaha, I knew it — my life is destined to be extraordinary. Demon King… so I'm the Demon King. I know where to go find work now. I'm going to join the Demon King Army!"

"Huihui, this isn't a joking matter. Have you forgotten the Demon King Army is our village's enemy?" "Rest assured, Yunyun. Once I seize power and take control of the Demon King Army, I'll let those ignorant elders in the village who wouldn't give me a job work under me!"

Because she couldn't find a job, she could only go be a Demon King — Megumin realized it all at once; like her Explosion Magic, it could only display its function by becoming a Demon King.

"When the time comes, I'll properly make things difficult for those elders, find faults in their work, then harshly deduct the salaries belonging to them!"

Huihui said viciously; her resentment ran deep, and given the chance she would absolutely not mind letting those elders who denied her taste a bit of her pain.

"Miss Soket, could it be you divined wrong? How could Huihui possibly become a Demon King?"

Seeing persuading Huihui was useless, Yunyun turned her gaze to the divination girl, trying to get an answer from her.

"Although my divinations have never been wrong, this is after all a future fate derived from magic power evolution; I also cannot rule out the possibility of an error……"

Soket was being modest. Her divinations rarely erred; those divined had mostly already received verification.

As for the rest not yet verified, it was only because the divined future had not yet arrived, so they temporarily could not be verified.

"How about this, Yunyun. I'll divine for you too — let's see your future, whether there's any mistake."

Soket made a suggestion.

"Okay!"

Yunyun glanced at Megumin, who had fallen into a frenzied, smug, imaginary-revenge-on-society state, and hurriedly nodded, hoping the divination miss would reach a conclusion that the divination was wrong.

Behind them, Broly wore a troubled expression. The Demon King was the target he would clean up before leaving this world — but if Huihui became the Demon King, how would he go about cleaning up the other party?

"Then, Yunyun, I'll divine for you — the shape your romance future will develop into.

Mhm, Yunyun, you'll become a good mother, and with the one you love conceive two children — two cute boys. Your family will live a happy, blissful……"

Soket's narration hit a few snags. She saw what she saw — more children, and they had other mothers.

One was a pregnant Huihui, but there were also unfamiliar ones. Clearly in Yunyun's future extended family, her partner absolutely didn't have only her and Huihui as two wives — there were even more women.

"What's wrong? Did something terrible happen in my future?"

Seeing Soket's pause and the conflicted look on her face, Yunyun asked nervously.

"Ah, nothing terrible happened!"

Soket hurriedly waved her hand. If you don't count sharing a husband with more women, judging from the fragmentary scenes divined by the crystal ball, their family was indeed lively and happy.

Even several women could gather together to play some kind of playing card game.

"Then, Miss Soket, doesn't this prove your divination just now wasn't wrong?"

Yunyun indeed yearned for the happy future, but also felt worried about Huihui's divination situation.

"Wait, let me continue the divination."

Soket felt that the divination's timeline probably wasn't long ago enough, which was why Huihui, who had previously been divined to become the Demon King in the future, would appear in Yunyun's divination in the identity of a pregnant woman.

As she increased her magic power output, the light and shadow emerging on the crystal ball circulated rapidly, but then suddenly stagnated at the place where a turning point in fate appeared.

"On the night of the full moon, the child gazing at the full moon will transform into a giant berserk magic beast.

The prosperous city is destroyed, and you, who attempted to stop it, perish beneath the feet of the berserk magic beast..."

Soket spoke the terrifying scenes she saw, and Yunyun's eyes widened.

"The future me will die?"

The next moment, the boy who had come to his senses asked, "Who is the guy who kills Yunyun, where is he now, I'll immediately go solve that guy."
