Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 180 The King
Doro never forgot the purpose of holding such a banquet.

He didn't come to see his younger self; he came to end this war. He's now in his thirties. In his younger years, he was a great hero, relentlessly pursuing his beliefs and defeating the Demon King. But then he was betrayed by his comrades and became a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being decadent, dispirited, or颓废) middle-aged man.

Then he met Moher, and under Moher's guidance, or rather, comfort, he finally cheered up again. This was the first time he had made a decision with such a strong sense of self.

For the first time, he mingled among the soldiers, learning about the war, the thoughts of soldiers on both sides, and their lives. For the first time, he had such profound thoughts about the necessity of certain events.

He then realized his own shallowness, that his considerations were far from profound enough, and that…

Know his own heart.

As Moher said, he possessed power, the power to be capricious, the power to overcome all, the power to change people's will, and if someone's will could not be changed, then he could use his power to erase that person—it was that simple.

Therefore, there is really only one thing he needs to do.

That is, to understand one's own heart. He should clearly know what he wants, what he needs, and how he wants his will to be implemented—this is exactly what he felt during his nearly ten days in the two legions. During these ten days, he constantly pondered and finally found the answer he was looking for.

We finally arrived here.

Seeing his younger self was fortunate for him, and even more fortunate was that this younger version of himself was a perfect creation. Facing himself, who was just like the Demon King and used the same techniques, this A. Godora fought to the very end, just like his younger self back then. Perhaps, the other's feelings were even more desperate, because at that time, when he fought against Moh, Doro clearly felt himself becoming stronger.

The same feelings, however, might be beyond the comprehension of the young A. Godora, who wielded his sword amidst insurmountable despair, yet possessed no lack of courage to fight Doro. This was precisely what Doro found fortunate.

It was because he saw his past self that he became even more certain of his current feelings.

“Wise King, Duke Reggus, I demand an immediate ceasefire. At the same time, I demand your abdication, Wise King. I will take the throne.”

Yes, whether in the Wise King's army or Duke Reggus's army, the conclusion Doro could reach was the same—the world had not found happiness, and people could not live a peaceful life. Some thought about going back home to marry their lovers after the war was over, some thought about how to farm, and some thought…

These people's wishes can only be fulfilled in peace, and Doro is also very clear that even if he stops such a war for a time, it does not mean that the war will not continue.

So, he should be the king.

Upon hearing Doro's words, Moher's face showed an incredulous expression: "Mr. Doro, are you serious? If you become this king, what will happen to Lisdowei? Aren't you already..."

Doro and Lisdove have chosen a place to stay in Sim and are planning their future life.

But at this moment, Doro made such a decision. If he wanted to become the King of Men—not that he was not qualified, but that it meant he had to abandon his current life and the promise he made with Lisdove. Of course, he could take Lisdove away, but that would be different from the life they wanted. Lisdove might not even leave with Doro.

Even though she once risked her life for Doro.

"I will take her with me."

Doro said this to Moh.

His eyes were full of willfulness.

Moher then put away his scales.

She seemed to understand something and simply nodded.

Then, Doro's gaze fell on Duke Reggus and the Wise King.

Do you have any opinions on this?

Duke Reggus immediately knelt on one knee, drew his sword from his waist, and presented it with both hands: "I am willing to serve you, great Doro! You deserve to be the King of Men, and I will be your most loyal servant!"

Just like the banner he raised when he launched his rebellion, the duke did not hesitate to offer his loyalty to Doro.

At this moment, the wise king stared at Doro and questioned him: "Although you possess power, Doro, you do not have the ability to govern a country. If you were to give power to someone like you, it would only bring disaster. You are simply incapable of governing a country; you are nothing but a foolish warrior!"

Even though Doro had repeatedly proven his power, the Wise King still expressed his disapproval: "If you could become the King of Men with just a word, how happy would this world be? No, the world is full of suffering, full of things that cannot be accomplished, and your wisdom is insufficient to solve these problems. You are not the Demon King. You cannot do it."

"But I have the power, and even if you oppose me, that is not a reason."

"But this conflicts with your purpose. If you are doing this for the people, then becoming king is nothing more than harming them. Do you really think you are so noble?"

Doro finally frowned and called out, "Boguko!"

Doro called out the name of the Wise King at this moment. Few people knew that before that betrayal, the person closest to the hero A. Godora was not the beautiful girls in his party, but the Wise King Boguko, who had always silently supported the hero from behind.

This man was originally an illegitimate child. Before the hero was born, he had almost seized power in the kingdom with his own abilities. At that time, the Central Kingdom of Humanity was just a small country among many kingdoms. But even such a small country did not hesitate to give full support to the hero who appeared.

The path of the brave traveler is the path of expanding territory through this effect.

He once made a promise with a hero at sunset.

"Just fight, Godora! Leave the rest to me! Whether it's pacifying the people or rebuilding a prosperous society, leave it all to me! You don't need to worry about so many things. Just keep fighting and eventually defeat the Demon King! Liberate humanity from this fate! I believe you can do it!"

Therefore, after Doro defeated the Demon King, he became a wise king, and the former small country became the central empire of mankind.

Doro didn't seek a role model like Boguko because he fundamentally felt that Boguko hadn't done anything wrong. Despite feeling sorry for him, he believed Boguko was wholeheartedly dedicated to the development of humanity.

Therefore, he had to answer Boguko's question, and his answer had to come from the heart.

He was certain that Boguko could see that.

Dorje answered the wise king's questions one by one, giving all the explanations he could.

"If this is your will, then it is laughable. You can kill me at any time, Doro. But I will not acknowledge you. I do not acknowledge your authority as the King of Men! You are not fit to be the King of Men!"

Because he is a weak man, and he has not yet truly killed those who betrayed him present.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Wise King took a step forward, almost touching Doro: "Doro, you must kill me here, kill me, the traitor who betrayed you. Only by doing this can you possibly bear the weight that lies ahead. If you don't even have the courage to kill me, how can you bear the weight of humanity? How can you carry humanity forward? How can you call yourself a king?"

He is right.

He appeared to be provoking Doro, but everyone knew the wise king was doing it on purpose. He said those things to enrage Doro, to drive him to madness—but what was his purpose? What meaning did Doro's death hold for him? Especially since he had killed him with his own hands…

“It seems like things would be much better if you were my deputy.”

"How is that possible? Would you do the same thing?"

Dora shook his head.

The wise king smiled and said, "If you want to become the king of men, you must step over my dead body before you can truly ascend the throne of the king of men."

A sword appeared in his hand: "If you don't make a move, I will. I will not accept someone like you as king."

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll grant your wish."

Doro made his move, and almost instantly, before anyone could even catch a glimpse, the Wise King had already fallen into a pool of blood.

People were terrified.

The wise king... just like that, died?

“Moher…”

Doro looked at Moh, and then suddenly realized.

The Mohers have disappeared.

He paused for a moment, then looked at "King Xian." He discovered that King Xian's body had also vanished.

“Moher…”

……

"You bastard, if you don't leave now, you'll be left there!"

Mohe reappeared at the mansion, throwing the Wise King's "corpse" on the ground: "Let's revive this thing first—I actually got tricked by it. It clearly wanted to make Doro the Human King and then turn against me. It was actually after me, wanting to make humans the supreme race, right? So I already said that even if you humans do nothing, you are still the race chosen by the Goddess. Aren't you engaged to Shady? Why didn't you ask? If I let you die so easily, I'll twist my own head off."

Moch grumbled and began making some preparations.
