Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 121 The Great Destruction of Kodoriya

Sacrifice things that you would not sacrifice in the past.

This is what the woman named Shadi said to Adeline, but what is it?

Something that would not have been sacrificed in the past?
What would she sacrifice?

No, this statement is wrong.

It should be said that what else can she sacrifice?

She lost everything!

Alchemy had lost its meaning. Everything she had experienced to this point had been denied! Someone like her was still alive in this world... simply because Xia Di had extraneous expectations of her!

She has been living in the church recently and has been allowed to enter the tower where Xia Di is. She heard that the church has been very busy recently. On the one hand, it has to deal with various forces and divide up the benefits. It is said that the War Church of the Ice and Snow Kingdom also wants to gain some benefits - but the Wise King is not very satisfied with this.

Meanwhile, the church was constantly selecting a new saint, a process that was becoming increasingly difficult. The voices within the church calling for Xia Di's return grew louder and louder. Few paid much attention to Adeline.

This should be considered as Xia Di's "gentleness".

Without Xia Di's suggestion, there would have been many people who wanted to contact her, the alchemist. Even though she had experienced a tragic failure, her strength was still there. She also had the ability to create alchemical items such as World Reflection, which could change the course of battle.

As for her own statement that she is no longer worthy of using alchemy... who would believe it?
It doesn't mean that after fighting with the Demon King, his power will be drained away.

She lived a rare leisurely life.

No need to think about anything, no need to do anything, no need to shoulder the mission of the president of the Alchemist Association, no need to think about the past, no need to think about the future, just live in Adeline's body.

She seemed to understand why the White Church had become the world's largest organization, even forcing even the Central Empire to seek cooperation. In such a world, humans needed a faith—to find solace. Not everyone was strong enough to face everything. The existence of God was necessary.

And God does indeed look down upon everything in this world, and occasionally, God will respond to the calls of believers.

Adeline didn't know what basis he made his decision on. She felt that perhaps she should join the White Church in the true sense - if that would make her feel better.

After all, that's where the alchemy ends.

In the hands of the devil, at the beginning.

So, what's wrong with believing in God? After all, God is the original, and the struggle of alchemy is ridiculous. It's better to believe in God from the very beginning, receive blessings from God, and find a reason to live. She saw the devotion of many believers to God. Even if they have greed and sometimes abuse their power for personal gain, their faith in God is unwavering.

I don't understand.

But, maybe it is very suitable for me now.

After finishing her meal, Adeline placed her plate in its designated spot. She then casually walked around the church, watching the congregants pray. She also saw ordinary people coming in to talk to the priests, some seeking blessings, some confessing their sins. Some were seeking the priests' help, and some were joining a group.

It seemed as if she had never really gotten to know the huge organization that was the White Church. As the president of the Alchemist Association, Adeline considered this church a threat, powerful violence, and terrifying organizational capabilities... As the president of the Alchemist Association, it seemed that she still had a lot to learn... But at this point, what else was there to say?
A nun came to Adeline and said, "Miss Adeline, Lady Shadi wants you to go to the tower. She has something to tell you."

It's rare.

Two weeks had passed since that day. I heard that the Central Empire's army was about to march upon the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but Xia Di hadn't contacted me yet. So, was she looking for something now? Could she be trying to seize the Ice and Snow Kingdom's interests and force me to intervene?

But she couldn't move her hands anymore.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be there later."

She still walked around the church first, and then slowly came into the tower.

She had the right to enter and exit the tower, but she rarely came here because it was so deserted. Without any decorations, Xia Di locked herself in here, allowing her essence to continue to move towards godhood.

The sacred power in this tower is almost overflowing, and anyone who enters this place will not feel comfortable.

As soon as I enter this zone, it feels as if all feelings disappear and all emotions are suppressed.

Divine magic has the power to calm people.

"If you want me to go to the Ice Kingdom to do something, I can't do it." Adeline said first, "I can no longer use alchemy properly. I can just make some small things, but if I want to influence the war, I am now..."

Xia Di's expression remained calm. "It's just an ice kingdom. For the Church, no matter who controls it, there will always be a church there. There have been some restless voices within the Church lately. This is because of the loss of Naluen, the response in Butuo City, and now the talk of Naluen, which has caused people to feel uneasy. But this is not something the Church should be concerned about."

Her figure looked increasingly holy, the most beautiful and noble person in the world—she looked less and less like a human.

"So what are you doing here?"

"Remember what I told you the other day?"

"..."

Adeline was silent.

"It seems you remember. But you probably don't know what I meant exactly. I wasn't sure at the time, so I asked someone to check it out." Xia Di said, taking out a book from somewhere.

This book looks like it's newly written. The cover is new.

"this is?"

"Thankfully, in this world, only the Church has the ability to uncover the truth. Even the Human Central Empire can't do it. In different regions, rumors, myths, folk songs, divine revelations, and astrology all combine to form the answer. Piecing together, they reveal the truth of history."

Adeline's eyes fell on this book, the name of the book was.

"Investigation Report on the Great Destruction of Kotoria".

Just seeing the name made Adeline's heart throb wildly. She was keenly aware of the profound connection between this book and herself. Even under the radiance of divine power, her emotions were uncontrollably excited.

She turned the pages.

Then he was stunned.

After a long silence, she began to turn the next page. The speed of turning the pages became faster and faster, and the movements became more and more rough. Until a certain moment, she closed the book with force, holding the book and looking at Xia Di: "What do you want to say?"

"Just like what's described in the book." Xia Di's eyes remained calm. "Isn't this what you want to know? Regarding everything that happened in Butuo City, wasn't the source of your failure due to a wrong understanding? Apart from the Demon King himself who knows all history, this is a history that only the Church can trace back. Of course, you can question the authenticity of this book. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business. I'm just telling you this. What you do with it is up to you."

Kodria was destroyed.

This book explains the investigation conducted by the church, and after combining all means, it analyzes and traces the Star Tear Falling incident that is well known to the world and occurred hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

That was a massacre known to all races, the terror brought to the world by the Demon King. The Demon King casually wiped a city off the map, and people didn't even know the reason...

Adeline had actually investigated, but even the elves, who also possessed long lifespans, didn't have a deep understanding of the Star Tears incident.

At that time, the elves knew that one day, human cities would suddenly explode. They were simply too far away. Of course, the elves had many theories, but none of them had any basis.

Only the Church can piece together the truth...

Perhaps, only the church, which has now reached its peak of power, can know the truth.

Something happened in the city called Kodolia.

It is "human alchemy".

It is not surprising that alchemists do not apply alchemy to themselves. Most alchemists have such a concept. The mainstream view is that "the weaker the body, the more the power of alchemy can be highlighted, and the more wisdom can be demonstrated. This is the alchemist's reserve and pride."

This view was very popular among alchemists, and many people regarded it as dogma.

But when was this view first proposed, adopted and promoted?
There is no clear record.

In this book, people in the church speculate that it was because of that great destruction.

In the city of Kodolia, human alchemy is rampant, leading to certain consequences.

The truth behind this outcome is no longer known, but in any case, the final result of this human alchemy is that the Demon King created an alchemical tool called Star Tears, which fell from the sky, wiping out the entire city from the world without leaving any trace.

The Demon King himself must have been forced to do so.

Because the Demon King truly felt sorrow.

Of course, this part of information was only known to the world because of the events in Butuo City. The alchemical tool called Star Tears can only be used with compassion and sorrow.

This report forms a logical closed loop.

As for the reason for the Demon King's sadness...

Adeline remembered what the girl said when she was confronting Moher.

The world belongs to her, and everything exists to make her happy. So, wiping out a human city is like a child having to throw away his favorite toy?
So, what was the reason why the Demon King had to take action?

"In any case, this is inextricably linked to human alchemy."

Xia Di took the book back from Adeline, and the sacred fire reduced the book to ashes.

Her purpose is obvious.

Adeline had completely understood what Xia Di meant, what she was talking about, the things that you were unwilling to sacrifice in the past.

She raised her hands and looked at them.

If you were to apply alchemy to yourself, treating yourself as an alchemical tool, and perform alchemy...what would it be like?
"You are free to do what you want."
