Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 204 The Goddess is Dead
We lost again.

Moher had no excuses to make. He could say that he had allowed Doro to grow too much the first time, that he was defeated by Doro plus the goddess's sword and armor, or that he was careless.

She can find many excuses for herself to make herself feel better.

But this time, the defeat was absolute. There was nothing to say, no excuses to make. In the direct confrontation, she had even resorted to underhanded tactics to try and shake Doro's resolve, but she had failed. The fact that this man was stronger than her was undeniable, even if she didn't want to admit it.

She knelt on the ground, with Doro's head on her lap, fast asleep with his head resting on her thighs—although it seemed like a good time to assassinate him, it would be pointless to do so, since she couldn't kill him... The previous battle had already shown the result, and she wouldn't do something so meaningless.

She won't do anything foolish until she's strong enough to defeat Doro.

but.

"Increased strength?"

How many years has it been since this word has been used to describe her? Is there really any possibility that her strength can improve? She has long since reached the realm of eternity. After all, what makes eternity eternal is precisely its "forever" and "constancy," isn't it? How can she possibly become stronger?

Even though Doro is here, and he's clearly stronger than me, is it possible for me to learn from him and reach his level?
It's probably not possible.

Because she didn't even understand why Doro was stronger than her.

But there's nothing you can do. You lose, you lose, and you have to accept it. There's no arguing about that.

The strong possess the freedom to be willful—the relationship between himself and Doro has changed.

He became his past self, and he became those "servants" who groveled before him in the past.

Servants are not necessarily loyal to you. Mohe knew this a long time ago. Just like the betrayals of various races, it is not surprising. Although from Mohe's point of view, it is also a rare occurrence in history, but she is not shocked by it.

The birth of Doro was the most shocking thing.

Fortunately, Doro likes her, although Moh doesn't quite understand why. But that's a good thing, because it means she only needs to cater to Doro's interests to buy herself "time." Over time, she'll find a way to defeat Doro, unless she gives up on doing so one day.

Of course, it's also possible that Doro will try to kill herself directly—maybe she'll have such thoughts a few hundred years later when she's tired of herself, after all, she still knows very little about the human species.

The girl remained there quietly, motionless, until day and night changed, until Doro slowly opened his eyes.

How much time has passed now?

"It will take us three days to leave the virtual world."

Do you think they've decided who won?

"No."

Doro rose from the girl's lap and stood still. "So, what else did you do after bringing this so-called calamity into the world? Containing those souls wasn't your only goal, was it? If you win, all you'll do is destroy those souls? It's meaningless to you, isn't it?"

Mohe noticed that Doro was indeed much smarter now, so she honestly confessed, "I'm also testing the goddess's state. If I defeat you—maybe I can absorb your power and reach a completely new realm. At that time, it will be time to make my move against the goddess. Of course, at our level, it's not like absorbing power will make you stronger, just like a person doesn't gain weight by eating 100 pounds. I'm just thinking, after all, you are so extraordinary, so perhaps..."

"Didn't you say you used to be in love with your goddess?"

“You can say we’re lovers now, and I won’t object.” Moh’s attitude was quite clear. “After all, you won.”

Did you win back then?

"No."

Doro didn't press the matter further, instead focusing on what Moh cared about: "So, what was the result of your test of the goddess?"

"The goddess is dead."

"……What did you say?"

"Your hearing must be quite sharp, you couldn't have misheard something like this, could you? I said the goddess is dead."

Dorro was stunned: "That's why I asked... Why did you say that?"

"That woman wouldn't let the ominous invasion go unchecked. After all, the ominous influence is alright to me, since the curse I created is related to it. In a sense, I stole some of the ominous power to create the curse. But the goddess's essential power is blessing, which is the true opposite of the ominous influence. She couldn't possibly allow the ominous influence to invade this world, so the conclusion we can draw is that the goddess is dead."

Doro wanted to say, "That makes some sense," but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"But the Sword and Armor of the Hero are still reflecting the power of the Goddess, and even the people of the Church of White are still using divine power. Last time, Xia Di even summoned the Goddess to descend. Could it be that the Goddess died after that? Is there anything that can kill the Goddess?"

Doro didn't understand; he had no idea. But it seemed pointless for Mohe to say such things now, and she had no reason to lie to herself—besides, she should be more honest now, and scaring herself would only satisfy her own perverse sense of humor.

"That was just a statue... or more accurately, the corpse of a goddess."

Seeing Doro's puzzled expression, Moh said, "Simply put, our registered life forms have become eternal. Even if the soul within the body disappears, the body will not die—haven't you already seen this property through me?"

Through Moher?

"You personally cut me into thirteen pieces, and all this time has passed, haven't my other bodies still been alive and well? If you hadn't specifically placed a seal on them, wouldn't those bodies have automatically revived?"

Yes!

Doro remembered that Moher's left hand, symbolizing eternity, needed to be placed in the lava of a volcano and subjected to a great deal of magic to be obliterated, otherwise the hand would revive on its own—and the other parts were not much different.

Even in death, their bodies do not perish. "And the reason I am in so much pain is because you have cut my body apart—but what if the body had not been cut apart?"

Doro shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

"The goddess left behind an intact body, and all her bodily functions were still working as usual. This included responding to the calls of her believers and being summoned by Shati. The divine power within her body might even be more abundant than when she was alive."

Moh gave this answer: "Didn't you have any doubts before? Why didn't Shati hunt you down after she cast the Divine Descent? Even if you were originally chosen by the goddess, shouldn't the goddess at least make a statement when she descends? Moreover, even if Shati has decided that you are no longer the hero, the will of the church has been implemented, and you can still use the hero's sword and the hero's armor—that imposter can too."

"This……"

"You don't actually think the goddess would approve of an imposter, do you? It's your business if you accept his will, but the goddess and I will never accept his existence—that in itself is proof that the goddess is dead… The reason Shady agreed to this plan is most likely because she realized this during the divine descent, but she just didn't dare say it, didn't dare admit it. That's what's shaking her conscience. All her loyalty, service, and sacrifices have been based on nothing more than a corpse—"

Moher smiled.

Doro couldn't laugh.

He harbored complex feelings for the goddess. It was the recognition of the Sword of Heroes that made him a hero and led him down this path.

But now——

Moher said the goddess was dead. How could he accept such a result?

"Of course, Mr. Doro, you can say that my judgment is very unfounded, and even the evidence is not complete enough. Maybe the goddess is busy with something, maybe the goddess is fighting against some other being, maybe the goddess is too far away, maybe the goddess is sleeping—these are all reasons, and I cannot say that these possibilities are not possible."

Mohe said these things, but Doro knew that although Mohe said so, given her personality, if she really thought so, she would have said it in the first place, instead of giving examples now to illustrate that, in Mohe's understanding, the goddess was definitely dead.

Doro couldn't understand. He remembered something: "When I was on my way to the Elf Kingdom, I heard the goddess say something like, 'My hero, please calm down.' How could she be dead?"

Mohe sneered: "You'd better think carefully, is this the voice of the goddess, or the voice of your own heart? Is it the part of your conscience advising you in the voice of the goddess, or did you really hear such a voice?"

When she said that, Doro was suddenly uncertain. He was so angry at the time that he couldn't remember clearly. His feelings at the time were very ambiguous, and the sounds he heard were...

"But if the goddess is dead, then why?"

"what why?"

Why did she die? Could someone have killed her?

Moh spread his hands: "I don't know. If you insist on asking for an answer, it might be related to you."

She stared intently at Doro: "The very existence of someone like you seems illogical. Given the goddess's personality, if the purpose was to kill me—creating someone like you might have meant sacrificing her own life. All I can be sure of is that you are not the reincarnation of the goddess."

"I……"

"If that's the case, then the cause and effect are wrong. It's not that the Sword of the Hero and the Armor of the Hero chose you, but that you were originally created for these two weapons. You were originally created to kill me. The guidance given to you by the goddess is her predetermined destiny. There's no doubt about it; she has this ability. It's part of her power."

Mohe's words sounded less certain than before; this was merely one of her speculations.

"Now that you know about this, what are you going to do?"

Moh looked at Doro: "What can I do? What do I need to do? Mr. Doro, I have already lost to you. As an existence that may have been created by the goddess to deal with me, you have already perfectly completed the task given to you by the goddess. I have now become your plaything—I can't do anything. Unless you want me to do something, I won't go anywhere. I won't do anything. I will just obediently act according to your will. I am utterly loyal to you."

"Will you investigate the truth behind the goddess's death?"

“I’m not interested in that. All my plans were based on the premise that I would defeat you. Now that I’ve lost to you, there’s no point in testing the goddess. Compared to my old rival of many years, you are a new opponent who deserves more attention. I don’t have the extra energy to deal with the goddess. Whether she’s dead or alive, I’ve lost to you, and everything is meaningless.”

Although Moh claimed to obey all his orders, she was clearly still resentful about losing to him and was not as calm as she claimed.

Doro then said, “I want to know the answer. I want to know if the goddess is really dead, I want to know the cause of her death—whether it’s because of me or not, I at least want to know the truth. I hope you can cooperate with me, Moher.”

"Of course I will obey your orders. If you want to investigate the goddess's condition, you will naturally have to go to the realm. If that's the case, you can't let them continue fighting in the void. The world of the dead is the road to the heavens. I tested the goddess in the world of the dead before, but she didn't descend... However, if she is still alive, it might be a good thing."

Moh suddenly said, "In that case, the two of us can join forces and defeat her directly..."

"Why? Why should I defeat the goddess?"

Moh looked at Doro with a puzzled expression: "Huh? You...you don't have that plan?"

"The goddess is the one who guides me. I do have some things I want to say to her, but that doesn't mean I want to defeat her. I have no grudge against her."

"I thought you would want to toy with both the Demon King and the Goddess, beings that have existed since the beginning of the world... Isn't this the best way to demonstrate your supreme status?"

Dora was silent.

Moh thought for a moment and said, "But if you have such thoughts, it's meaningless. As I said, the goddess is dead."

She emphasized this statement again.

Doro and the girl's dark pupils met for a moment, then quickly looked away: "Let's not talk about that for now. If we want to go to the Heavenly Realm, we have to go to the world of the dead first, right? Well, don't rush. You should heal the people in the world first."

“You really know how to order people around… However, I will obey your will, my esteemed King, your loyal servant will act according to your commands.”

She unleashed the power of her own "creation".
