Demon Lord Gallery

The regular Manmajeon meeting.
An annual event and custom so old that trying to trace its origins would be considered foolish.
Over eons of time, almost everything from the meeting process to the participants has changed compared to the initial Manmajeon regular meetings, but there was one thing that remained unchanged.
Namely, that all Demon Lords could ‘legally’ move dimensions without violating causality.
Of course, most Demon Lords above a certain rank could perform dimensional movement, and quite a number of Demon Lords within the Demon Lord Gallery could perform dimensional movement, but that was different from the Manmajeon regular meeting.
There was no means other than the Manmajeon regular meeting to move dimensions and ‘directly’ meet other Demon Lords without any qualifications, side effects, time/dimension paradoxes, or Demon Lord Gallery rules.
What does this direct meeting mean?
For martial arts faction and battle-brained Demon Lords, it was an opportunity to legally engage in flesh-splattering fights; for magic system Demon Lords, it was a chance to directly witness magic from other dimensions; for weak Demon Lords, it was an opportunity to build connections, and for strong Demon Lords, to create their own factions.
In fact, at one previous regular meeting, a Demon Lord who was about to be subjugated by a hero formed a sworn brotherhood with a high-ranking Manmajeon Demon Lord during the after-party, and with the help of that high-ranking sworn brother Demon Lord, instantly butchered the hero.
Conversely, in the case of a Demon Lord who now belongs to the elder position of the current Manmajeon, after standing out at a Manmajeon regular meeting, he used the faction that suddenly formed to solidify his position and eventually rose to the position of elder, so no further explanation is needed.
In other words, it’s an annual event that almost all Demon Lords eagerly await.
Moreover, for most Demon Lords who are born attention-seekers, the regular meeting held a value more important than anything else, even more important than their lives.
That’s why most Demon Lords belonging to the Demon Lord Gallery started their preparations as soon as the main manager ‘HalfDeadChick’ posted the notice.
All waiting for that day when everyone would meet.

With only 1 day left until the Manmajeon regular meeting.

The gallery was more active than ever before.

One might say the gallery is burning again, but that wasn’t the case.

It was because everyone was busy posting and exchanging comments, preparing for the Manmajeon meeting that was right around the corner.

Of course, these posts and comments were very normal by comparison.

Compared to the usual Demon Lord Gallery, that is.

[I’m seriously not joking, save me dammit
I’ve lost count of how many times Hero Retry has been.
I’m doing everything I can, but why won’t the hero fall?
The hero doesn’t fall…..
The hero doesn’t fall, I tell you.
Isn’t this a bug?
I’m really going to bring everything from the Demon Lord castle to the regular meeting this time, so please, any big brothers who can transfer or exchange martial arts secrets/magic books/magic tools/demon swords etc….
Please save me, I beg you]

[Comments]
[White Skull: I can get you demon swords or secret manuals, but will that be enough to deal with the hero?]
ㄴ[Feathered Serpent*: Looking at the data, the hero in their dimension is at the level of a Manmajeon elder? Magic below 8th rank doesn’t even work]
ㄴ[Feathered Serpent*: It’s only because that hero hasn’t joined the Hero Gallery that the current author’s abilities are working, if they had joined the Hero Gallery, they probably would have died long ago]
[Bookworm: We have plenty of magic books here, but I don’t think that will be enough to deal with a hero….]
[EMPEROR: Didn’t I give you the antimatter bomb design last time? You said you succeeded in making it through hard work]

Thanks to the gallery member who recommended Dark Star or Death Star last time.
I was trying to eliminate as many rebels as possible before the Manmajeon meeting, but thanks to the planetary weapon, I just annihilated them all.
This is quite efficient, and even the weakness of the axial vault + reactor was completely redesigned and embedded in the core, so there are no weaknesses.
I saved quite a lot of budget, so I think I’ll produce 5 more with the remaining budget.
Anyway, I’m going to dress properly for this Manmajeon meeting.

+If any gallery members need scientific weapons, leave a comment. I’ll pack as much as I can in compression modules. I’m feeling good, so I’m sharing.]

[One-eyed Grandpa: Hey, read the explanation post about the Manmajeon regular meeting before posting crap… When you return from the Manmajeon regular meeting, your original dimension usually remains the same or hardly any time passes]

There were numerous posts, none of which could be filtered out.

Of course, the post by the gallery member in that deep dark gay outfit was nothing short of a bomb, but most of the other posts were normal.

It’s enough to say that for the first time in a very long time, or even for the first time ever, there was an atmosphere of among Demon Lords.

However, if there was a small problem.

“I’m envious….”

Beyond envy, it was stomach-aching.

Why just me, why does only this dimension have difficulty with dimensional movement so I have to use spirit division movement?

There was a time when I was happy to hear the explanation about spirit division dimensional movement, thinking it was a method without any risks or dangers, but that’s all in the past now.

The more I looked at the posts circulating in the gallery for the past 5 days, the more I realized that moving to the Manmajeon meeting as a spirit division was nothing but a loss.

The biggest reason why it can be called a loss is simple.

In other words, I can’t benefit at all from things like the scientific weapon sharing by the fixed nickname ‘EMPEROR’ that I just read about.

“This is really unfair….”

Moreover, I could understand if there were only one or two such sharing posts. But damn it, as I skimmed through the popular posts board, at least one or two posts per page were all sharing posts.

[Title: I can supply unlimited alcohol at the Manmajeon meeting]
[Author: One-eyed Grandpa]
[Anyway, what I have in excess is alcohol and meat, so I’m planning to pack it tightly with dimensional compression magic and bring it this time.
I’ll bring about 10,000 barrels of mead, so you can drink like crazy without worry. If there’s any left after the after-party, take it home when you leave.]
[Comments]
[ㅇㅇ(666.124): From now on, I’ll start praising the armband wearer, no, from now on, I’ll start praising One-eyed Grandpa]
[Survival Day N: Life is hard, I’ll have to go to the meeting and drink a lot.. thank you….]
[Fallout: ….Don’t people usually use liters or gallons for alcohol?]
ㄴ[力拔山氣蓋世: Isn’t it common sense for Demon Lords to drink by the barrel?]

[Title: Sharing excess magic books]
[Author: Bookworm]
[They’re copies, but I have extra magic books by type. If anyone wants them, send a private message and I’ll reply.]
[Comments]
[ㅇㅇ(491.284): If they’re copies, won’t the effectiveness be low? The efficiency will be halved when crossing dimensions anyway]
ㄴ[White Skull: The copies he’s talking about are ones he wrote and transcribed himself. His specialty is making magic books, so there’s no difference between copies and originals]
ㄴ[White Skull: And the efficiency drop when crossing dimensions doesn’t apply when returning from the Manmajeon meeting]

[Title: Does anyone need holy relics?]
[Author: HereticHunter]
[Something I don’t need anyway. If there are brothers who need help, I’d be glad to share.]
[Comments]
[ㅇㅇ(666.984): Brother, this isn’t the Hero Gallery, it’s the Demon Lord Gallery….]
[ㅇㅇ(666.832): I think we might die if we receive those holy relics]
ㄴ[One-eyed Grandpa: This gentleman’s holy relics are fine. They’re not holy relics based on a specific religion or good and evil, but holy relics that are the embodiment of his own beliefs]
ㄴ[One-eyed Grandpa: As long as you have belief in something, no matter what form, it could devour most demon swords and magic books?]
ㄴ[CultLeader: This is something I should get even if I have to sell all my possessions?]

[CultLeader: Need anything? I can bring everything I can prepare]

ㄴ[HereticHunter: Then can you provide seedlings or tree seeds? The kind that grows well in barren land.]

ㄴ[CultLeader: It’s a bit strange, but that much is fine. Confirmed]

Seeing them exchange things like this, and even the items being exchanged are magic books that spew magic just by opening them, planetary-level plasma shields, and holy relics of unknown nature, etc.
These are divine-level items that I can’t even dream of in my dimension, so it’s strange if my stomach doesn’t hurt.
Are these really the same Demon Lords who were fighting like crazy usually? Why do fixed nicknames that weren’t visible before suddenly all come out and become friendly only at times like this?
I’m really the only one with bad luck.
“Sigh……”
After sighing and lamenting my situation for a moment.
I did think about sending a message to the armband wearer or main manager asking to ‘change from spirit division movement to dimensional movement’, but I gave up as soon as I realized that it was realistically impossible and only increased the risk.
In the end, I could only spend extremely ordinary days going through the usual gate cleaning and checks, lamenting my miserable situation.
“But─”
That doesn’t mean I didn’t make any preparations.
Using my own wits, I carried out preparations for the Manmajeon regular meeting over the past 7 days, and as a result, I was able to gain more than expected.
‘This should be enough’
The time remaining is just over 24 hours.
These 24 hours are enough time to finish the series of processes I’ve carried out over the past 7 days.
“Then─”
Let’s do it.
Determinedly gathering my resolve, where I reached out was towards a huge pile of books.
