With that premise, everything could be solved if he stayed and put a little more effort into looking after the Lower World.
He wasnât too thrilled at the fact that he would not be able to go to the Demon Worlds of other dimensions from now on, but he could not neglect the hundreds of millions of people in the Lower World.
Vulcan thought this far, and checked how many hours he had left until he could go back to the Lower World.
âFour hoursâŚâŚ Phew. Once I return, I would be stuck in Asgard, looking after the Lower WorldâŚâŚ.â
Vulcan was eager to return to his own world four hours later at once, and faithfully fulfill its duties.
But that only lasted for a moment.
Vulcan felt depressed and noticed a drop in his energy, to think that his enjoyable days were soon to be over.
He couldnât help himself but feel unwell, as he thought that he would no longer be able to destroy the worlds without hesitation, winning against the Demon King of his standard, and getting up on a higher level with the experience point that he could get from fulfilling quests on the system.
As he was engrossed in such negative thoughts while lying down, Vulcan eventually began to pour out his unsatisfactory feelings toward Haimuro, the King of the Helkium Dimension.
âAww, all this because of that bastardâŚ..if he had been in level D, no, even in level C, I would have had a go at himâŚ..for someone that I could take down in one punch in the Human WorldâŚ..â
ââŚâŚ.â
Vulcan kept his head full of curses about Haimuro for a while.
Then he abruptly stood up, with the thought that suddenly popped up in his head, to make an exclamatory remark out loud.
âAh! The Human World!â
âWhat is it?â
âOh, itâs nothing.â
Vulcan sent back one of the demon soldiers who had come running in surprise by the loud noise.
To calm his excited heart down, he began to slowly breathe in and out for a minute.
Vulcan was calmer than before, and with a serious look on his face, he recalled the thought that just had occurred in his head.
âIf I were to go to the Human World with the demon army, through the portal that the Demon King had createdâŚ..and if I were to fight the Demon King and the Duke once they are in the Human WorldâŚ..â
In that case, they would be weakened by the penalty, and he could use the godly power.
Vulcan thought this far, clapped his hand, and changed his mind about leaving the Demon World after the 24-hour period.
Vulcan sat on the giant chair prepared for him, as he tried to think with a serious look on his face.
âThey said that they were going to observe what I was up to after the portal is completedâŚ..that they would target the time when I drop by the Human World and leave. But what if I donât drop by the Human World but spend my time hereâŚcould they also wait?â
There was no way for him to figure out how patient Haimuro is.
But one thing was for sure.
As long as Haimuro, the Demon King of the Helkium Dimension, does not attack the Human World, it didnât matter how long Vulcan himself was out of the position.
Eventually, all Vulcan had to do was to wait however long in this exact spot until Haimuro invades the Human World.
And waiting was one of the things Vulcan was quite confident of.
âOf course, I couldnât be compared to those old gods that have been watching over the Lower World for more than 10,000 yearsâŚâŚbut I would be better at waiting than Haimuro, since he is just too eager to invade the Human World when I have the information.â
Vulcan seemed to be relaxed as he lied down on the spot with two hands underneath to support his head.
He had slight smile on his face.
Just like that, Vulcan spent about a week quietly in the Demon World, and he heard the news that the portal to Human World was finally completed.
All demons seemed excited, as if they were going to attack the Human World immediately, and they waited for the god of Helkium Dimension to drop by the Human World and go away as soon as possible.
Then, a day, two days, a weekâŚ..finally, a month had passed.
Although quite some time had passed, there was no sign of the god to be seen.

BAAM
âWhat in the name of! To say he is the god!â
BAAM
âHe is supposed to be in charge of the dimension!â
BAAM
âBut he is doing nothing about it! Even the King of the fallen kingdom would be better at his job!â
Haimuro smashed the furniture around him.
Harang, his loyal servant, could not say anything as he saw the Kingâs crooked face in anger.
He was the one that insisted they invade the Human World right after the god drops by and leaves, since that was the pattern the god showed until now.
But his remarks were overshadowed by the fact that this god never visits the Lower World he is in charge of. This had made the Demon Kingâs army of Helkium Dimension waste a month of their precious time.
âIt looks like I shouldnât have held him back when he was going to invade a week agoâŚâŚ.â
Harang had insisted that they wait a little longer to avoid the possibility of facing the god with bad timing, but as can be seen, it failed.
Even as a demon, he was so sick and tired of the god not showing up, as if he had given up the world that he was assigned to.
âI mean, one would care more about a misbehaving dog. Why wouldnât he drop by, when there are all sorts of incidents taking place in the Lower World?â
Harang never began to imagine that the irresponsible god was one of the closest ones from him.
The Demon King, Haimuro, focused his attention onto him.
âEek.â
If someone could be killed by being stared at, he would have been ripped apart in hundreds and thousands pieces by now, as the King had a very sharp look.
Harang didnât dare to have eye contact, but lowered his head.
Haimuro had been staring at Harang with a disapproving look on his face, then sighed deeply.
Of course, he knew that it wasnât Harangâs fault.
He also knew that he actually had to be easy on him about this mistake, as he was the trusted one who helped the quick-tempered man that he was, to carry out all sorts of things successfully.
ButâŚ.
But he couldnât help himself but get extremely angry at the fact that the time to destroy one, or even two Human Worlds and fill them with demon powers was just gone.
âNoâŚâŚ No way! I cannot wait any longer! Iâve already reached my limits! I have waited for more than 200 years! I canât wait anymore!â
Haimuro made a firm decision in his mind.
Although it was a decision based on emotions, but it wasnât entirely unreasonable.
The god had been out of contact with the Lower World for nearly 40 days now.
The Demon King and the rest of the Demon World thought that there would be little chance of the god getting back, just in time for their invasion.
Even the cautious Harang was gradually leaning towards the plan, so it was certainly too much to postpone the invasion any more.
Demon King Haimuro made a declaration.
âIn two hours, we shall attack the Human World.â
