Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 220 If We Could Do It Again (Part 1)
If you were to ask Saintess Shady if she ever regretted what she had done,

She would probably answer, "No, I have never regretted it. Everything I did was out of a sense of justice, even if the outcome was not what I wanted. But if I could do it all over again, I would still do it, and I would do it better."

But what if we really let her do it all over again?

When the goddess's power was forcibly poured into her body by Mohe, and when the goddess's vast will swallowed her will, her body would not break because she had once been close to the goddess, at least not in the short term. But she knew that her soul would definitely be shattered by the goddess's will.

Even if the goddess is dead, the evil spirits cannot affect her. The remaining will of the dead goddess alone is enough to devour everything.

If, if it succeeds, who will be standing there, Xia Di?

In the vast radiance, she saw the true God for the first time.

Although it was merely a remnant of will, although it might just be some obsession, memory, or even the goddess's final resentment—it's just that this emotion is probably different from the reason for the birth of evil spirits; what she felt was Yulia's expectation...

The evil spirit wasn't lying!

Everyone would assume that the evil spirit's words to Doro were a lie, especially since the evil spirit had brought them here, sealed them with the power of blessing, and forced Doro to make a choice. Naturally, everyone would think that the evil spirit's words were absolutely a lie.

but……

That's true.

She felt it.

In the moment of her death, the goddess felt not only hatred and curse for the life she had created, but also a sense of expectation for A. Godora.

She heard the echoes of the goddess's will.

"My hero! My destined hero! Save me..."

Such a voice echoed continuously in Xia Di's mind. She truly felt the goddess's expectation for the hero A. Godora. She knew A. Godora would definitely come, but...

only……

If, if only, after A. Godora defeated the Demon King...

……

Shadi suddenly opened her eyes and looked around. The hero, A. Godora, gave a hearty laugh: "It's surprising that Shadi fell asleep. Although the Demon King has been defeated, being too relaxed isn't Shadi's style. I know you're tired from handling all sorts of things… However, His Holiness the Pope said that as a saintess, you have many events to preside over, so you only have two hours to relax. We have to go back."

As if remembering something, Xia Di nodded: "I'm sorry, Godora, after all, we just fought the Demon King, and there are just too many things to deal with. I think things will get much better after this period. At that time, I can also step down from the position of Saintess."

"Huh? Stepping down? Is that a good idea?"

Xia Di smiled gently: "What's wrong with that? I have completed the mission given to me by the great God. I guided you, and we have defeated the Demon King. The world will enter a period of peace, and the world will flourish like never before... I can't stay in the position of Saintess forever, can I? I have to give other young children a chance. You know, many girls dream of becoming Saintess."

Her smile deepened as she took A. Godora's hand: "After all, every girl hopes to meet a hero like A. Godora, but... you belong to me."

"Shadi..."

A. Godora was somewhat at a loss; he hadn't expected Shady to suddenly say something like that.

Shady looked at him with deep affection: "What's wrong, Godora? Are you surprised? Didn't you feel my feelings during our journey?"

A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes: "It's my fault. I couldn't show you my feelings, but now, perhaps it's not too late... Godora, can you tell me how you feel about me?"

"Shati, this...I..."

"Don't rush, Godora. I know you might be at a loss if I suddenly tell you this. The Demon King has been defeated. We have plenty of time, and the future is long. You can consider this now, or you can wait some time to think about it slowly. But don't make me wait too long, okay? Waiting is a very painful thing."

She stood up, holy light flowing over her, brushing away the dust: "That brief respite ends here! I have to go back to work! I really don't want to face that work! If someone could keep me company, I might be more motivated."

"Shatty... I'm sorry, Adeline and I agreed to go to the sea to search for the vanished dragons and see if we could get some dragon materials for alchemy. This might take some time, maybe a month or two. After all, the sea is very vast."

Shady pouted: "Eh~ Adeline~ what a cunning child, using such a reason as an excuse to try and monopolize you? Well... never mind, she's still young, don't make a move on her~"

Why would I lay a hand on Adeline?

"You can make a move on me~"

"Shatty!"

"Haha~"

With cheerful laughter, Shati said goodbye to A. Godora.

This moment is so blissful, so delightful.

This wasn't even the happiest time.

When A. Godora and Adeline returned from the sea, Shady had almost finished her official duties and formally resigned from her position as a saint.

She even left the church.

"Shatty! What are you doing!" Many people came to persuade Shatty, and some even said that this was a betrayal of God.

But Shati's will was firm. She simply stood beside A. Godora and said, "Godora, now that I've left the church, I'm just an ordinary girl. I don't have the power I used to have. Will you despise me?"

“How could I look down on you? But Shati, that’s something you’ve fought for all these years.”

Shati's smile was gentle: "My struggle was to find my purpose in life. When I met you, my life finally embarked on its proper path. Following the guidance of the goddess, I lit the way forward for you. When I have completed my mission, I can finally embrace my life, A. Godora. Being by your side is the meaning of my existence. I need nothing else but you." A. Godora was deeply moved.

He's been feeling quite lost lately. After defeating the Demon King, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness and loneliness. He kept thinking back to that battle with the Demon King, the things he felt during that battle, the sense of fulfillment he experienced—at first, he felt very relaxed, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and the world would enter peace. He had a very strong sense of accomplishment. But when he saw everyone else busy, when he saw Adeline take over the Alchemist's Guild, when Adriana take over the Mage's Guild, when Yin Nefeld take over the Cursed Mage Alliance, when he saw Shady busy with her work.

He is lost.

He was pondering: what kind of life should a hero lead after his mission to defeat the Demon King has actually succeeded?

His willingness to accept all the girls' requests during this time was also a way of thinking about this question—he was already very strong, stronger than the Demon King, and he had defeated the Demon King—so, what was the Demon King thinking, who had stood in such a powerful position for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years? How did he spend his life?
he does not know.

But now, looking at Charlotte's sincere expression, something is gradually filling the emptiness in my heart: "Shatty, perhaps we..."

He grabbed Charlotte's hand, and then their fingers intertwined.

"Perhaps, let's retrace our steps and see if the places we visited have become happier or more beautiful?"

The brave man offered this suggestion.

Shady simply smiled and replied, "Wherever you go, I will go."

The hero bid farewell to the wise king: "From now on, there will be no more heroes in the world... unless you fail to safeguard the demon king's body and allow him to be resurrected. When that happens, send someone to find me!"

These clearly teasing words made the wise king show a helpless expression: "You... do I look that unreliable? But Godora, Shady, are you two really leaving? You finally defeated the Demon King, why not stay in the capital? Even if you do nothing but enjoy yourself..."

Shady smiled and said, "I don't want that. Too many women in the capital are eyeing Godora. I want to elope with him! We'll hide our identities so that people won't always be watching Godora!"

"You..." The wise king was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Shady, I didn't expect you to be the first to act. Don't the other girls have any objections?"

Xia Di scoffed, "Love is war! The first move wins! When they come to ask you, just say you don't know!"

"I didn't know either..."

It was like this: the former hero A. Godora and the former saintess Shadi left the capital and disappeared without a trace.

There are even rumors that in the battle between the hero and the demon king, the hero was actually exhausted and died. It was just that his life had come to an end, and the hero did not want the world to know this, so he left quietly. Of course, many people know that this is not the case.

For example, the original members of the Hero Squad.

"Shitchy! You're insane!"

In a village, Adriana found Shady cooking.

“Long time no see, Adriana. What brings you here today?” Shady calmly scooped up a ladle of soup with a wooden spoon, took a sip, and said, “It tastes good. I’m very satisfied… How about we have a meal here today? Godora is currently using the alias Doro and is out hunting. Do you remember this village? We defeated a powerful demon here.”

Adriana looked at Shati, the girl calmly arranging the food, looking every bit the virtuous wife and loving mother: "Shati, didn't we discuss the matter between the hero and the demon king before? Now the demon king is dead, but he is now more powerful than the demon king... He has become the greatest imbalance."

Shady smiled and said, "Well...we did discuss this topic, but that was right when Godora had just killed the Demon King, right? At that time, we were all somewhat intimidated by the Demon King's power and Godora's power, so we were a little uneasy and had those thoughts. Do you still have those thoughts now?"

“Shati! The reason I embarked on this journey in the first place was to…”

"To maintain balance, right?"

Despite having no power left, Shati's aura was far stronger than that of Adriana, who claimed to be a sage: "Regardless of whether you possess the power to restore balance... Adriana, you wouldn't be jealous of me, would you? Are you trying to separate me from Godora so you can make your move? What a despicable person! But I'll deal with you properly~"

Adriana opened her mouth, unsure how to speak to Shady in this moment. It wasn't right—this wasn't right.

Shati was A. Godora's mentor, and she should have at least some pride in A. Godora, but now she looked like... like she had lost something.

"Shitchy! I'm back!"

The man carried in a wild boar: "Ah? Adriana is here too? No wonder I was the only one who hunted a wild boar. It turns out the goddess knew I had a guest today, so she let me run into her."

He smiled and said, "Adriana, is there anything I can help you with?"

Shady looked at the wild boar: "You need to deal with it, Godora. But Adriana came here because she missed us! Don't let her appearance fool you, she's actually quite afraid of being alone."

Godora took a kitchen knife and began to process the wild boar, and the smell of blood began to fill the room.

Adriana frowned and used magic to cleanse herself.

"Shadi..."

Shady smiled and said, "You've been a great help, Adriana. You know, I don't have divine power right now. I used to be able to use divine power to eliminate these smells and such... but Godora isn't good at that kind of thing. It was quite difficult to deal with."

This person used to be absolutely unable to accept such a bloody situation and the strong stench, but now she...

"I... I have some things to do."

"Don't rush, Adriana. You're already here, why leave so soon... The Mage's Guild isn't going to stop operating just because you're not here. How about taking a break? Mr. Godora, are you going to let your guests run away?"

"Adriana, don't go! Let's at least have a meal first!"

It's like an ordinary couple trying to keep their guests.

"...Okay, I'll grab a bite to eat before I leave."
