Shokei Sareta Kenja wa Lich ni Tensei Shite Shinryaku-sensou o Hajimeru - Vol. 14 Ch. 56 - Reunion

[Kuroku]

alright now let’s see what kind of unicorn poweraid these new guys be drinking and the levels of Gaia gaslighting and steroids they be downing this time. Guessing from the looks some ritual and either an ancient race or a cult like squadron of earth hippies from the earths core. I know I’m wrong but if I’m right then only despair awaits me.

You wrote a lot to meaningfully say nothing.
Yes, we all know why he made his choice to be the demon lord and what his theory is. I didn't say: "I don't understand why he chose to be a demon lord and therefore should stop".
I'm saying it would be much more meaningful to stop trying to be the enemy of the world, and instead look for solutions. The base idea that: "human society is inherently, in its nature, corrupt, so literally the only viable solution to mend society is by forcing them to fight someone bigger than themselves" to begin with, made no sense, but at this point in time, it's even more so.

He's a sage of magic, who also has a research team under his command, he could solve the issue of feudalistic society without having to be something as simple as a warlord: introduce new technologies, advances in medicine and surgery...Make the people's lives easier and safer under his rule. Expand with that ideology in mind, and rule the world via technological advances and commerce. If anyone tries to attack him to maintain their position, he curbstumps them with his armies.

TLDR: The MC has all the resources in the world to make smarter decisions in how he can actually fix the world, instead of being an entity that paints a mark on his back for all eternity.
But I also think it'd be a touch more interesting, if he'd admit he really is a vengeful spirit, with a big bias towards violence, everything considered, but his identity as Dwight balances it out with some level of rationalization.

What makes you think ANY of that would stop the humans from being the bastards they've been in this series? Humans in this manga have shown to be unreasonable to the point where they'll kill best and brightest for a "maybe".

Like Knighto said, he's already doing all of that. He also can't stop being the demon lord, and thus a big target, because that's what he literally is. The bulk of his people are monsters and other not-humans the human countries call demons (and use that as an excuse to try to annihilate them). He is their lord, so he's the demon lord. His domain has been expanding all the time, though, and the lands under his rule are most certainly better places than many of the human countries.

He can't stop being the enemy of the world. The human countries will always view him as an enemy because he's a demon in their eyes. The will of the world, which you ignore, will also keep twisting the human countries in ways that will oppose Dwight. I reckon before long the will of the world will also find ways to cause internal unrest within his domain.

stops reading YESSSSS!!! goes back to chapter

Muscle babes! Muscle babes!

So she's a hot tomboy...SWEET.
Also for someone who is a skeleton, Dwight is pretty expressive. Especially in the dumbfounded department.

You're confused. Yes you are right the writing isn't great and he could make his societies better and his subjects will be unlikely to revolt if he drowns them in comforts. But he's simply being a King, not a warlord.

Dwight's not trying to rule "human society". There is no analogue to feudalism here. It's impossible to "fix" this multi-species and monster society non-violently because he is imposing an Order that is antithetical to all living beings involved.

He's forcing different species to live together in a single non-segregated society. Some of which are inherently violent, illogical, and stupid. They have self-destructive biological impulses for violence even when comfortable. Predators and Prey living in peace like it's Zootopia. That unity is eternally fragile and requires tremendous authoritarianism with, eventually, generations of brainwashing the children to not see any differences.

The only successful time this happened in history is Singapore, which required continuous police monitoring paired with brutal and instant punishment to enforce peace and stability.

[Shinigamisama]

Demon lord be like:

I don't get her clothes though. It feels like it'll be hard to walk on that.
Aww a spread page of the reunion.
I didn't expect Luciana to show Diera that she's a dedicated waifu and a one-man woman.

And it looks like we have 2 more minions for the demon lord (unless he doesn't revive them).

 

[Senros]

Let's goooo!
Muscle mommy/onee-san

Nothing else matters. Give me more of her!

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Firestorm252]

So she's a hot tomboy...SWEET.

After Skeletor's "What?" and Baalbuddy's Skelebros, I have come to the conclusion that a slack-jawed skull is the most expressive thing in 2D

edit:

 

[vedrit]

Ah, muscled demon mommy makes her appearance.

 

[Someone011]

I don't have the energy to write a long message:
I feel like Dwight can just stop pretending he's an evil ruler to be opposed, and just solve the core issue as to why corruption builds up in human societies.
He just comes across as edgy.

The reason why he is trying to do this by force, is because he is convinced that the core issue ,can't be addressed, not in a permanent manner.

You can't just remove the "corruption" that builds up in human societies, because it's not real corruption but rather part of the human nature that rises up due to fear.

They didn't execute Dwight and the heroine because something corrupted them, they executed them out of fear.
The King and nobles feared that the presence of those two will slowly threaten their own power and plans for expansion, and the common people out of fear that these two will take up the mantle of Demon lord and continue slaughtering humans.

And you have to agree, for the greatest part of human history, fear has been and still is one of the greatest drives for change,
humans created societies out of fear, fear of wild animals, fear of starvation, etc.

Dwight knows that he can't remove that fear from humans and as such can't stop "corruption" from rearing its ugly head again and again, so he opts to utilize said fear and use it to force them to live in peace amongst themselves, if for no other reason than that there is an evil Demon lord that can strike at any sign of weakness. And since he is immortal that can be a lasting peace.

 

[Resound]

every new character in here be like “lets crush the demon lord” every fucking time

 

[Tony_Raven]

Page 11 and 28 be like: Undead music stops

 

[fight2live]

time to see what kind of new anti demon lord device emerges from The Will of The World factory now

 

[CasualMangaFan]

Okay. She looks nice. But more importantly, what bullshit is the "Will of the World" going to throw at Dwight now, before it finally takes the hint and quits these annoying antics?

 

[Hoezell]

Such a lascivious chapter! Ogle respectfully, folks. 👀
