82. Peace Comes from Overwhelming Force
The reason for staging a coup in the City of Stars is simple.
The discrimination that exists between nobles and commoners.
I raised the flag of revolution, waving red flags in response to the different treatment starting from the city gates.
To create a society where everyone is equal.
"Transform the City of Stars!"
"Transform the City of Stars!"
"Transform the City of Stars!"
After numerous shouts, someone who looked like a high-ranking official in the City of Stars approached us and proposed negotiations.
They're probably proceeding with these negotiations because they clearly know what will happen if the situation reaches its worst.
If our forces were few or weak, there's no way they would offer such negotiations.
"Workers do not compromise!"
"Workers do not compromise!"
"Workers do not compromise!"
Then, holding his head, he shouted for us to state our demands.
What we want is simple.
Equal treatment in the inspection procedures.
He said they would notify us after holding a meeting and told us to disperse immediately, but we're not that naive.
We made our position clear that there would be no dispersal until our demands were met and that we would fight to the end. His face turned red and blue.
The official, who looked like he wanted to snap at us, was led into the castle by soldiers, and we waved the flag of revolution.

After successfully concluding this protest, I was maintaining my items at the Red Revolution Group's temporary residence when I heard urgent footsteps.
"B-big trouble! Comrade Yuna!"
"What's the matter?"
He handed me something - a wanted poster...?
When I opened it to check, there was my photo and name, along with a bounty.
The amount was 30 million gold.
Currently, the cash ratio between the game and the real world is 1:1.
In other words, a bounty of 30 million won in cash was placed on me.
"It's less than I thought."
"That's not the problem! If there's a bounty, you can't freely enter and exit the city!"
If I can't enter and exit the city, I can't do anything from various items to lodging.
It means I'm in a difficult situation, but I've experienced this once before, so it doesn't matter.
And sure enough, the Avalon Empire put out the bounty.
I didn't like that emperor before, and I still don't.
Should I just go and take care of him...?
"Well, let's prepare for now."
Surely, no one would target me for this amount of money, right?
But reality wasn't so simple.
There were frequent attacks targeting me when I was alone.
Due to the overwhelming level difference, I don't even get a scratch, but our Yong-yong is infuriated.
"Kyuuung!!"
Yong-yong shouts that he won't stand for this and wants to fly to the empire right now to turn it into a sea of fire. I calm him down and fall into thought for a while.
"Should we resolve this peacefully, or should we do it my way."
Peace. Or blood.
The deliberation wasn't long.
Since it's come to this, I'll call myself a necessary evil that can't be absent from the Arcana continent and do something spectacular.
Hehehe, they're all dead.
For that, I need powerful strength.
Our Yong-yong is enough, but I'll save him as a trump card and borrow the power of the demon realm this time.
To do that, I need to go to the demon realm first.
Then suddenly, one race came to mind.
Dark elves.
They're a race that doesn't exist in this world yet.
To give birth to dark elves, we need to plant the World Tree in the demon realm.
They really liked me and followed me well.
First, I should get seeds from the Forest Clan and go to the demon realm.
"Please take me to the village where the Forest Clan is located."
"Kyuung."
In an instant, my vision changed and I moved to the center of the village.
I said village, but I didn't say the center of the village...?
Without fail, arrows flew from all directions along with killing intent.
If Yong-yong hadn't spread a protective barrier, I would have become a porcupine.
"Who are you!"
At the loud shout, I looked up to see Mellin unni aiming an arrow at me.
Happy to see her, I waved my hand, but she frowned and pulled the bowstring.
"Answer! How did you infiltrate the village!?"
As I was pondering how to explain, I heard a voice.
"Stop."
The elder of the Forest Clan appeared.
"Elder!"
"This is my guest."
With those words, the elder welcomed me with a bright smile.
"Shall we go together?"
"Yes!"
The elder of the Forest Clan is also an avatar of the Creator.
He's one of the people who remembers me.
Entering the elder's house after a long time, it was still simple as before with only necessary items.
"Please sit comfortably."
"Yes, Elder."
As I sat down, Mellin unni served tea.
Her gaze is not good.
I give her a sly smile in response to her gaze that seems to ask what my identity is, and she glares at me intensely.
"I'd like to talk to her alone."
"Understood, Elder."
Mellin unni leaves with a warning that she won't let it slide if I do anything strange.
I take a sip of tea, but it's bitter.
It used to be sweet before, did she make it like this on purpose?
I guess I've really upset her.
"It's been a while, Yuna."
"Have you been well? Actually..."
"I know. It's because of this, right?"
He hands me a box - it's the World Tree's seed.
"Thank you. I was planning to visit the demon realm again with this."
"I prepared it knowing you would."
Then space tears and a being appears.
The high priest of the demon realm revealed himself.
"It's been a while."
"It has been a while!"
I didn't expect things to progress so smoothly.
The high priest extends his hand to me, and as I take it and say goodbye to the elder, he tells me to be careful.
After saying goodbye to the elder, I cross over the space and arrive in the demon realm.
The demon realm is different from when I visited before.
"Something has changed?"
"This is what it looked like before it was destroyed by pollution. This is the original demon realm."
The grotesque-looking demon realm doesn't exist, and I see a demon realm that looks similar to the middle world environment.
Following the high priest, I see the Demon King's castle.
"The Demon King doesn't remember. So behave yourself well."
"Just trust me!"
"I'm worried."
As we approach the Demon King's castle, the demon clan members standing guard become alert.
"How is a human in the demon realm!"
"H-High Priest!? What is this..."
"She's my guest. Step aside."
With those words, a huge door opens and as we enter the Demon King's castle, we bump into numerous demon clan members.
Their scary-looking faces are still the same.
After passing through a long corridor, we knock on the door of the audience chamber where the Demon King is, and the door opens with an eerie sound.
'Creeeaaak'
As we enter, I see numerous high-ranking demon clan members and the Demon King sitting on the throne with a noble appearance.
Is it because I haven't seen her in a long time? The corners of my mouth twitch.
I wanted to hug her right away, but I held back as much as I could.
Because she probably won't remember me.
Then I hear a voice.
"Everyone leave."
With those words, everyone left.
Including the high priest.
Now only the Demon King and I remain in the audience chamber.
"Kyuung."
...The three of us, including Yong-yong, remain in the situation.
She gets up from her seat and approaches me.
"It's nice to meet..."
Just as I was about to say those words, the Demon King hugs me.
"I'm hurt. Saying it's the first time."
"You remember!?"
I look at her with surprised eyes, and she pats my head as if I'm cute.
"I may forget everything else, but how could I forget our Yuna."
"Demon King..."
It's a touching atmosphere.
However, it didn't last long because of our Yong-yong.
"Kyuuung!"
"The dragon is still the same."
Yong-yong separates me and the Demon King and sticks out his tongue as if protecting me.
He's very possessive.
"Our Yong-yong is still young, that's why."
"Kyuung!?"
Yong-yong gets angry at being treated like a child all of a sudden, saying what do you mean, but it's cute.
The Demon King smiles at that sight and extends her hand to me.
I put my hand on the Demon King's hand, and she smiles.
"Yuna's hand is nice, but don't you have something else?"
"Ah..."
I smile awkwardly and take out a box from my subspace and hand it to her. She carefully puts away the box.
"There's a very good location, different from before. Let's go."
She uses a gate to move, and we arrive on a hill high enough to see the entire demon realm at a glance.
It's an environment where ordinary trees can't live, but the World Tree is different.
The Demon King plants the World Tree's seed and lets magic flow into it, and a sprout grows.
"The rest is up to you, Yuna."
"Leave it to me."
I take out magic stones from my subspace and drop them near the sprout. It absorbs them one by one and grows bigger and bigger.
Finally, it reveals the form of a huge World Tree.
[It's been a while, Mother.]
"You remember me!?"
[Because I'm the World Tree.]
