Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 151 Earthly Demon: It's not that good, hahaha
The Holy Lord looked at Di Kui speechlessly, but he could understand the malice these brothers and sisters harbored towards him.

Watching Isa place that childish wreath on the head of the Earth Demon, the mighty Earth Demon now laughed like a child weighing hundreds of tons.

The Holy Lord couldn't help but interrupt this heartwarming scene: "Earthly Lord, my brother, you should first help me break the shackles on my soul."

Di Kui scratched his head, somewhat reluctantly: "Okay, but you have to help me build my own kingdom!"

The benevolence on the Holy Lord's face gradually disappeared: "Earthly Lord, are you also going to break your promise?"

"of course not."

Di Kui shook his head decisively, then his face turned cold:
"But the brothers in Hell keep saying that if you had kept your promise and released us two thousand years ago, it would have been impossible for things to have dragged on until now. The demons' current failure is all your fault, God."

"And Shen Du, how much do you owe me? I hammered your weapons out of the ground, one hammer blow at a time, and you still haven't paid me!"

The Earth Lord grew increasingly angry as he spoke, causing the surrounding earth to tremble, a testament to the Earth Monarch's fury: "Therefore, you must first give me enough resources to build my kingdom, and then I will help you."

"Your Majesty."

A soft voice rang out, interrupting the Earth Demon's anger.

Di Kui turned his head, the anger on his face vanished instantly, and he replied with a smile, "Eh? Isha, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, after I get our resources back, we'll rebuild our kingdom."

Isa glanced at the Holy Lord's increasingly gloomy face, and her tone carried a hint of helplessness: "Who gave you this idea?"

“Zhongsu, he told me that there are more than forty treasure troves in the capital, and each treasure trove is enough for us to establish our kingdom in its early stages.” Di Kui scratched his head and decisively sold out Zhongsu.

Isa glanced at the Holy Lord, whose eyes were growing increasingly gloomy, and said with some disappointment, "But this time it was His Majesty the Divine Capital who helped me revive, and you said that in matters concerning other Your Majesties, you would first have Titan help you analyze them. Have you really forgotten your agreement with Titan?"

Dikui:.
He panicked a little and immediately shook his head.

She then accused, "Of course not, how could I forget? But let me tell you, Isa, two thousand years ago we weren't so weak. God deceived us, making us expend a lot of magic to send him out, and then he forgot about us and ruled the world for a thousand years."

Isa listened attentively, and when Di Kui finished speaking, she nodded earnestly: "That is indeed Your Majesty's fault."

Di Kui's brows relaxed, and he looked at the Holy Lord with a smug expression: "Look."

The Holy Lord's eyes grew even darker. He remained silent, his crimson eyes flashing, but he did not speak.

The Earthly Lord is special. For other rulers, their relatives are merely followers, an added bonus. Having relatives is good, but not having them has little impact.

The Earthly Demon is different; the Earthly Demon with and without followers are two different demons.

His trust in his followers and his almost equal relationship with them meant that after having followers, Jiki not only possessed the earth's power, which was not weak even among demons, but his intellectual shortcomings were also compensated by his followers.

Therefore, the Holy Lord was not worried about whether the bonds in his soul could be lifted.

What he's thinking about now is Sino-Soviet relations.

Of all the demons, Zhongsu is the monarch with the most obvious malice towards him. Perhaps he can start planning now to let Zhongsu taste what it feels like to have offended him, the Fire Demon, to death.

Isa said very seriously, "You were right to do this, but the problem is that it was said by His Majesty the Chinese and Soviet leaders, which makes it very problematic."

"Um, how so?" Di Kui scratched his head: "But I think what Zhong Su said makes a lot of sense. We don't need to keep our promises to fraudsters."

Isa clearly knew how to get Di Kui to listen to her; she didn't refute Di Kui, nor did she try to reason with him.

Instead, he whispered, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, His Majesty the Chinese and Soviet Union and His Majesty the Capital have a feud, right?"

Di Kui looked around and lowered his voice, speaking in a volume that could be heard clearly from ten meters away: "Yes, they always end up fighting, and the gods have been beaten up pretty badly the last few times."

Isa guided the question by asking, "You see, they have a grudge, and then His Majesty the Soviet Union asked you to deal with His Majesty the Capital, but he hasn't even given you a reward for your trouble. What is this?"

Di Kui frowned, only hearing the key words: they had a grudge, and the hardship fee.

Immediately, some knowledge that the Titans had mentioned flashed through my mind.

His eyes lit up: "China and the Soviet Union intend to use me as a free henchman, or even to make me clash with Shen Du, so that China and the Soviet Union can benefit from the situation behind the scenes!"

"Your Majesty is truly wise." Isa's eyes were full of admiration. "I thought your wisdom had been erased in hell, but I didn't expect you to still be as brilliant and powerful as before."

Di Kui raised his head slightly and put his hands on his hips smugly: "Hahaha, is that so? I knew hell couldn't destroy Di Kui's wisdom. Only the weak would say they can't withstand the erosion of hell all day long!"

Seemingly sensing the monarch's pleasure, the surrounding earth trembled slightly, and the flowers, grasses, and trees swayed in the wind, bursting forth with even more abundant vitality than before, making the earth even more fertile at this moment.

The Holy Lord, who was still thinking about how to trick Zhong Su, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

He suspected that this guy had no intelligence at all, or that there was a limit to the intelligence that hell could destroy, and that this guy's intelligence was below that limit from the beginning.

Beside them, Tara and the demon dragon both had indescribable expressions, a feeling of having "learned something new."

But Di Kui's aura is not weak at all; at least among those present, he is the strongest.

Therefore, they didn't make any bad expressions.

Isa didn't think there was anything wrong with her monarch. Her monarch had always been like this. The Titans only needed to follow the monarch's wishes and ensure that the monarch didn't suffer any losses.

Isa spoke softly, "Your Majesty, so, what about His Majesty the Divine Capital?"

The Earth Demon looked down at the Holy Lord, gleefully reached out, and ripped out his soul.

The dragon soul still had three rings on its body. Di Kui flicked his fingertips, and with two snapping sounds, two of the rings disappeared, leaving only a wisp of wind ring that still bound his soul.

Di Kui let go, and the head adorned with a flower wreath leaned closer: "Divine Capital, alright, I've fulfilled my promise, but now, you have to help me build the palace. You have no right to refuse." The Holy Lord looked at Isa, and seeing that Isa wasn't looking at him, the Holy Lord helplessly spread his hands: "But I still have to revive Xiaofeng, I don't have time to help you."

Di Kui was taken aback. Considering that Xiao Feng had generally been quite considerate of him, he pouted in dissatisfaction: "Fine, I'll build it myself. You're completely useless! Now! Leave my kingdom!"

"Give me the Panku Box."

The Holy Lord spoke silently, having become immune to the demon's rudeness.

Di Kui looked around, and just as he was about to make a move, Isa grabbed the Panku Treasure Box and tossed it gently, accurately aiming it at Rasu.

Di Kui pointed outside and said rudely, "Alright, you fraudster, now, leave!"

The shadows around the Holy Lord surged and slowly swallowed the four of them.

Di Kui immediately felt refreshed and invigorated, and as for being polite to the Holy Lord...

Just kidding, that's a fraudster, the demons should kill him. They didn't beat him up because of Isa's sake.

"Hehe, Isa, let's go back."

However, at that very moment, a ripple suddenly appeared on Isha's projection.

The Earth Demon was extremely nervous: "What's wrong, Isa?"

A slight smile appeared on Isa's lips: "It's alright, Your Majesty. Let's go back. You need to rest now."

All around, a powerful force of the earth, imbued with a sense of purpose, gradually filled this area.

Everything around me changed, transforming into the Kingdom of Earth, where everything was so thriving, yet also so illusory.

Di Kui looked around excitedly: "Is everyone still here?"

Isa shook her head: "Your Majesty, in the war against the gods, not a single living being in our kingdom retreated. Everyone fought to the last moment for the order you established. Therefore, everyone's hopes are now placed on me, which is why I have been able to revive."

Di Kui lowered his head, looking somewhat unhappy.

Isa raised her hand, and the earth began to move on its own. The two of them were lifted up by a yellow halo and moved at high speed through the kingdom.

Isa approached with a smile, the yellow aura beneath her feet lifting her to the same height as the Earth Demon's head. She asked softly, "What's wrong, Your Majesty? Are you unhappy?"

"Yes, I failed to protect you."

He sat on the ground, looking at the illusory sky, his eyes filled with despair: "Everyone is gone, I only have you left."

"No, Your Majesty."

"Hmm?" Di Kui turned his head slightly to look at the girl, his eyes filled with confusion.

“You protected everyone so well,” Isa said nostalgically. “Without you, there would have been no long-lasting peace in the Kingdom of Earth. Think about it, in those last years, other kingdoms either died or fled, and many of the original inhabitants of the empire even betrayed their monarchs and joined the gods in rebelling against their own rulers.”

"But your kingdom is different. People would rather die fighting for you than betray their homeland and raise their swords against their own people to save their own lives."

Isa looked around, pointed to a city, and said softly, "Look over there, Twilight City, do you remember it?"

“I know, we’re dealing with the border town to the east,” Di Kui said somewhat emo-likely.

"Yes, everyone is still here."

As Isa spoke, the yellow aura beneath their feet turned and carried them toward the city.

The illusory figures around them burst forth with a different kind of vitality the moment they saw Di Kui.

"Digui!"

"Digui!"

"Digui!"

They were calling out the name of the Earth God, they were cheering for the return of their monarch, they were rejoicing that their monarch was still alive.

Di Kui paused slightly, looking at Isa with some bewilderment. The king of the earth had not felt such blatant passion for a very, very long time.

Isa smiled and said, “You should be proud, because you stood in front of us until the very end, and we did not abandon you until the very end.”

“Even a single-race kingdom has traitors, but your kingdom does not.”

"This is your glory, and it is the glory of the entire Kingdom of Earth."

Di Kui was stunned. He looked around at the fragile yet tenacious obsessions.

A different kind of color appeared in his eyes.

"Is Is Isabella praising me?"

"Of course, you are very worthy of praise. There is no one in the whole world who can compare to you. You are the best monarch."

Sincere praise, coupled with the shouts and cheers around him, caused the Earth Demon's eyes to narrow slightly.

He waved his hand modestly, but couldn't help laughing heartily: "It's not that good, hahaha."
