Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 156 Decadent Adriana
Bhutto City has now undergone tremendous changes.

The swaying red-gold leaves of the World Tree gradually became a familiar sight to the residents here, and the petrified Adeline metal was observed by many people - many people felt a little scared, thinking that one day they would become a member of this so-called heaven on earth... It was quite terrifying.

At first, people were quite worried about the future of the city and its administrative planning...

Later, everyone realized that no matter how the people above them argued, life still had to go on. So, apart from the nobles and merchants, no one cared about who Bhutto City belonged to.

There are many different groups in this city now.

Alchemists, magicians, elves, dwarves, and ethnic minorities... In a sense, it can be called an "international metropolis."

In such a situation, the city itself also has hidden talents and crouching tigers——

"Please give me another cup of lava heart."

The woman put out a gold coin and ordered some drinks. She looked a little drunk, but no one would underestimate her. On her first day at the tavern, someone saw her drunk and wanted to "help" her. She easily lifted someone up with magic and threw them out.

Although he didn't die, he almost fell and fainted.

People then realized that this was not someone they could easily offend. He was in the tavern, perhaps waiting for something, or perhaps savoring something.

However, what others think is not important to Adriana at all.

She lost.

Losing was a matter of course. She had been prepared for it long ago. She had made such a plan with the mentality of dying if she failed. In the end, even if she failed, she should die in her own glory and in splendor.

Being able to die at Dora's hands should be a happy thing.

But it didn't.

Doro hadn't killed her, and Adriana knew full well that if she hadn't died at Doro's hands, then Doro's words would stand. As long as the Demon King acquiesced to this outcome, then the Wise King wouldn't object to the punishment. In fact, she had already seen her wanted poster two days ago.

As expected, her position as president of the Magicians Association was stripped. There were many charges related to this, including betrayal of humanity, killing the Thunder Emperor, and communicating with demons. Recently, when she was drinking, she often heard people discussing related matters. She knew clearly that she was at the center of public opinion, and she knew clearly that she had been abandoned.

But this is actually not something she cares about.

She was just wondering what Duo Luo was thinking when he faced these things?
If she was sad, she wasn't really that sad, even though she felt very embarrassed when people pointed fingers at her behind her back. But it was just embarrassment, because she knew that no one else could recognize her, and it was probably the same with Duo Luo back then.

So she didn't quite understand.

I don't quite understand Dora's feelings.

Even if she imitated Dora and got drunk, it would not be difficult for her to sober up from the alcohol, and her actions after drinking were not impulsive - what exactly did Dora want to get from the so-called alcohol at that time?
She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that even if she and Doro did the same thing, they couldn't truly empathize. She couldn't understand Doro's pain, nor could she understand Doro's resistance and choices. She felt a little bad—perhaps she should be angry about being wanted and betrayed by the human empire.

But she didn't care. It was useless to pretend to care about something she didn't care about. She had tried hard, but she still couldn't empathize with Dora.

How, how can she truly understand that person's thoughts?
Do I need more pain?
But how do you make yourself feel pain?
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the bar. Adriana looked in the direction of the commotion with sleepy eyes and saw a familiar figure. Soon, there was a popping sound. When Adriana's vision returned to focus, she finally realized who the other person was.

"Adeline? How dare you show up in this city!"

Adeline clapped her hands. The tavern had become quite a mess. "Adriana, do you think I want to come here? It was Xia Di who was looking for you, but you haven't responded to her. She won't leave the tower now, so she had no choice but to ask me to come to you. Do you think I still want to come here?"

When Adriana heard the name "Shatti," she immediately lowered her head and fell asleep on the table. She wasn't impressed by the name; rather, she quite disliked it. Adeline came to the table and poured herself a glass of wine. "You know what? This is called Lava Heart, a drink made with red honeydew melon. Mine is called Red Surprise, a drink made with roses. I loved it when I was here before."

Adriana didn't look up, she seemed really drunk.

"My plan has been completely shattered in this city." Adeline didn't seem to care whether Adriana was awake or not. She muttered to herself, "I've been wondering why the Demon King wanted to stop me, why Godora wanted to stop me? My idea is so great. If my plan succeeds, humanity will enter a new era where everyone is equal. Why must such a great thing be stopped?"

Adriana didn't react.

"Because I have no credibility to begin with. Someone like me, someone who would backstab my own leader and do such a sinister and treacherous thing... How could I have the nerve to tell others that she could create a world where everyone is equal? ​​Asking anyone to imagine that would probably be considered ridiculous, just the villain's bragging."

She sipped her drink with a rather self-deprecating look. "Sometimes I wonder, if Star Tears really fell at that moment, would I regret my decision? What if one day I truly succeeded, becoming the most powerful being in the world, and the Alchemy Dolls also dominated the world, allowing all life to approach eternity? Am I really not afraid of such a scenario?"

"We all want to prove something, Adriana. We want to prove that our original choice wasn't wrong. Xia Di wants to prove that she's more mature, more cold-blooded, and more like an adult than Godora, so she'll make a calm, self-serving choice. She told Godora that she'd marry the Wise King and rule the world together, but Godora immediately said he could do the same with the Demon King—Xia Di got anxious. Then he beat her up, and now she's much more sober."

Adeline's tone was slightly pathetic, but it made Adriana look up and look at her in confusion.

"I'm the same. I can't wait to prove that I'm more right than him, that I'm greater than him. My thoughts, my will—I want to prove that I didn't make the wrong choice back then... But in reality, we were very wrong, weren't we? It's just..."

She met Adriana's gaze. "Whether it was the choice we made at the beginning or the choice we made now, it's all just to cover up our ugly hearts, Adriana. We want to hide our fear of him."

Yes, fear.

The brave A. Godora was a man who always smiled gently and made everyone feel at ease.

They have obviously been through so many things together, and they should have fought together, and finally defeated the devil with everyone's strength, and written a beautiful story!
But not the same.

Different from what the world knows, only when you truly delve into the existence of that battle will you know that in the final battle, whether it was the Demon King or the hero, how brilliant the smiles on their faces were, how excited their emotions were, and how terrifying their powers were... It's completely different.

Completely different from the A. Godola I know.
At that time, the brave A. Godora integrated into the domain of the Demon King and fought fiercely with the Demon King in that Demon King's world, but the final result was that Dora won.

He defeated the devil, but there was no smile on his face.

At least, when the girls came to congratulate him joyfully, Dora's eyes and expression were dim and lonely, although he quickly realized this, and then put on a formulaic smile, celebrating the defeat of the Demon King with everyone else.

But this expression was completely seen by the girls. They saw Duo Luo more clearly than anyone else, and they understood Duo Luo better than anyone else.

So that expression was seen by all the girls, and they felt deeply frightened.

There was a time when the girls felt as if they were being stared at by the devil whenever Dora looked at them - it was a terrible feeling, and the girls were very worried that Dora would become the same thing, the same creature, as the devil.

They are too afraid of such a thing happening.

"At this point, there's only one way to go, Adriana. We've lost everything. For us, having lost everything, the only option left is to make the best of a bad situation. Here's a plan that requires your help. If you're willing to help... This is a desperate plan."

"The Second Hero Plan... What a ridiculous plan. They can't defeat the original, but they think the replica can? Aren't they naive enough to think this can kill them?"

"In any case, this is a feasible plan... It's up to you whether you want to participate or not. This is the last chance we have."
