Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 184 The White Church's Explanation

Everything seems to have returned to square one.

When Shady learned that Doro was going to become the King of Men, she actually had a moment of unrealistic fantasy.

This means that Doro is going to be at odds with the Demon King again. Even though his relationship with the Demon King has become very complicated, Doro has probably made his own choice to become the Demon King's enemy. How is this different from the past?

No, in fact, this significance is even greater than in the past!
Long ago, a hero set out from an ordinary village, chosen by the Hero's Sword. Guided by the will of the goddess, he encountered a young priest, and together they embarked on the path to defeat the Demon King.

Now, without anyone's guidance or influence, Doro, relying on his own will, has also chosen to embark on the path of defeating the Demon King.

Fate is so similar, yet meaning is so different.

The hero who once went astray did not disappoint in the end. With his own will, he returned to the right path. Now, Shady is certain that Doro will not become the next Demon King. Even though he has reached the same level of life as the Demon King, and even though he can no longer be described as human, his essence is different from that of the Demon King.

She knew this better than anyone else.

So... nothing else matters anymore.

“I reiterate, former Saintess Shady, you are free to defend yourself. The Church will consider your opinion.” White Luther, representing the Senate of the White Church, questioned Shady once again.

Xia Di simply smiled: "I have nothing to defend myself with. I was wrong back then. I didn't fully trust the hero, I didn't trust the King of Men, which almost led to our loss. Now, he has made the right choice through his own will, which is proof of my mistake. I'm not shameless enough to stubbornly insist that I was right in a place like this."

White Luther then understood Shady's will.

"Then, Shady, on behalf of the Senate, I hereby render judgment on you. You are stripped of all your status and all your faith. You will be expelled from the Church of the White, and you will lose the radiance of the goddess's glory. Afterward, as a sinner, you will be escorted to the King of Men to await his judgment."

The moment Doro decided to become King of Men and made the announcement, something had already quietly changed.

Just as Moh thought, the Church of White had no choice. Between the Human King and the Demon King, the Church of White could only choose to stand on the side of the Human King. Therefore, they had to give Doro an explanation, and give the current Human King an explanation. The explanation given by the Wise King was his own life, the loyalty of the resistance army led by Duke Reggus, and the foundation that could help the Human King govern the world.

So what about the Church of the White? Dealing with the culprits of that grand betrayal in the past is an inevitable option.

For the priests of the White Church, the punishment that Shadi is receiving at this moment is the most severe punishment. Not to mention that Shadi is currently advancing towards a higher realm and is the strongest in the White Church... Once a priest is expelled from the church, his faith is fundamentally severed, and his divine power will disappear from him. Shadi, who possesses divine qualities, will become an ordinary girl when she receives this punishment, and she will not even be able to break free of a pair of shackles.

She will become incredibly vulnerable.

That is precisely why it can be considered a punishment.

And it is precisely in this way that we can give an account to the King of Man. However, the Church of White cannot deal with Xia Di on its own. They stripped Xia Di of her identity and power to show the King of Man that the Church of White will always stand on his side. Therefore, they must send Xia Di to the King of Man to deal with. At that time, it is the King of Man's freedom to decide whether to kill or punish her.

However, this level of statement is not enough. Amidst such a dramatic change, the Church of White is having a heated discussion about what power to entrust to the King of Man so that the King of Man and the Church of White can be closely bound together.

Some say it's about the right to nominate saints, others say it's about the Pope needing to be officially recognized by the King of Men to become a true Pope, and still others say it's about whether the Church should send personnel to listen to the King of Men's will at any time... But these discussions have nothing to do with Xia Di, who has already been expelled.

Adeline was the one guarding Shady.

Adeline came voluntarily. She said she was afraid that Charlotte would be mistreated. After all, falling from a high position inevitably leads some people to have ugly thoughts.

"You're not exactly a member of the church, so the church doesn't have any objections to this?"

"Although the old men in the Senate are vying for power, their loyalty to God is certain. They know what you have done and probably don't think you are wrong. So they also have the intention of asking me to take care of you. Moreover, I am the source of miracles. If you lose your power, this church may not have anyone who can stop me."

Shady looked at Adeline, who didn't seem to have lost her power: "Afterwards, you'll have to take me to Doro to be judged by the King of Men—will you be able to meet him?"

"Regardless, you need to face it, and so do I. The imposter has left, and he doesn't seem to intend to change his mind."

"It seems that our work cannot be called a failure. Their personalities are almost the same, and their ideas are not much different. The only difference is their talents and gifts." Xia Di sighed. "We have given him the best talents we can imagine and the best abilities we know... but our abilities are limited. What we can imagine and outline does not support him to move into that field."

this is the truth.

They themselves are not in the realm of Doro and the Demon King, so they cannot even imagine what that realm should look like. Therefore, even if the imposter uses all his strength, he cannot defeat the real Doro, even if he fights to the very last moment.

"Shatty, you haven't given up yet?" Adeline suddenly asked.

Xia Di looked at her with a puzzled expression: "You said you haven't given up yet, what do you mean?"

"It sounds strange, but I always feel that you voluntarily gave up this power. The so-called divine power."

"Of course, I gave it up voluntarily. If I didn't want to give it up, who could make me step down from the position of saintess? If I disagreed, according to the church's system, I could veto it. Besides, I can communicate directly with the goddess. If I am not willing to lose my position, then I can make the goddess descend."

She stated this matter as a matter of course: "So of course I gave it up voluntarily, to give Doro an explanation."

“That’s not what I meant by giving up voluntarily, Charlotte.”

Adeline listened to Shady's body: "I think you came back because you wanted to go further. You still haven't given up on the idea of ​​becoming a being of the same level as them."

"Why? Why do you think that?"

"Because you got me involved in human alchemy, and you've been researching it yourself, haven't you?"

……

"Your Majesty, the Church of White has executed the former Saintess, Xia Di. They have removed her name from the church; she is no longer a member. She will be escorted by the Source of Miracles to you for your judgment. What do you wish to do with her?"

After hearing this, Doro said, "I'll tell you when I see Shati."

He didn't give many instructions.

He was carefully savoring the feelings of being the human king.

Just as Moh said, he actually possessed the power to act willfully more than a decade ago, but at that time, everyone revered and feared the Demon King, but did not revere him or fear becoming the Demon King, so they attacked him—he could have done the same back then.

That's exactly what he's doing right now.

Was this how Moh felt back then? Even things you don't consciously think about, others will naturally think about them for you. You only need to change your expression, and someone will think of many things and then take action... So, with a being like the Human King, any action will be magnified infinitely, and any move will bring about huge changes...

In such a position, any action could trigger changes in the world—if it were my past self, I would probably be afraid of this weight.

No, not if.

He was afraid of this weight in the past, so he chose to run away. He knew how powerful he was, he knew he had the power to change the world, but he didn't know if change was a good thing. He wasn't confident that he could make the world a better place, so he thought it would be better to let a wise king or someone like that take charge of the world.

But Moch told him.

This idea itself is ridiculous.

As the strong, he had no need to consider the thoughts of the weak. He wanted peace, so the weak needed to maintain peace. He wanted to see everyone respectful and friendly, so everyone should be respectful and friendly. He didn't need to consider whether things would get better; he only needed to follow his own willful thoughts... This conflicted with what he knew in the past.

For example, when he was a hero, Shati told him that the higher one's position, the more one must hide one's thoughts, because unintentional words and actions can bring disaster to the weak.

Doro used to agree with this view, but it was completely opposite to Moh's way of life. As the oldest demon king, she let her emotions flow freely, and she would even create almost contradictory things like Star Tear to express her emotions.

She also never hid her fondness for maid outfits.

So, what is responsibility?
He should not bear any responsibility in the first place.

He simply loved others; he simply wanted everyone to live a happy and fulfilling life—that was his simplest and most basic wish. Just as Moher liked maid outfits, there was no fundamental difference.

There's no need to feel burdened by this.
