What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

After mentally reviewing the plan, Ron jumped out of bed and looked towards the door.

So, where should we begin?

Chapter 65 Have the children learned it?

"Kukuku, it seems you've thought it through?"

As soon as Ron pushed open the door, a burst of unpleasant laughter came from outside.

He looked up and saw a mimicking bat with bandages on its wings standing on the light fixture in the corridor, grinning wickedly at him.

“It’s you.” Ron recognized him, then looked around before asking the mimic bat, “You’ve been waiting for me here?”

"It's the Demon God's order. He said that if you leave the room and want to see him, I should take you there. My lord, do you want to see the Demon God?"

The mimic bat spoke with respect to Ron.

Perhaps in his eyes, Ron was his future boss, with a status equal to Mu Dongyin, which is why he wanted to treat Ron respectfully and win Ron's favor.

Ron gave the mimicry bat a meaningful look, but without asking any further questions, he addressed it directly:

"Okay, take me to see him."

One of Ron's current plans is to meet the Demon God and extract more information from him.

Children's worldviews are generally very simple, with good and evil as opposites, and good people and bad people clearly distinguished.

A demon is a demon, a bad guy, someone who needs to be defeated. And it's unlikely that more enemies will appear in a nested fashion, besides demons.

The boss you need to defeat at the beginning is the same boss you need to defeat at the end; this kind of plot is also common in children's anime.

Therefore, if we understand the demon god better, we might be able to find a way to destroy it.

unless……

The demon god may evolve in the future, or summon some even more powerful 'big daddy'.

But those are things to consider later.

Now Ron needs to consider how to obtain more information, and... how to gain even greater power from the Demon God.

After receiving Ron's permission, the mimic bat flew ahead, leading Ron toward the Guardian Temple.

Along the way, Ron observed the guardian temple.

Then it was discovered that the main structure of the Guardian Temple was not large, and the later rooms and similar structures were out of place with the Guardian Temple, clearly indicating that they had been altered later.

Or rather, before this, the entire Guardian Temple consisted of only one main hall.

The guardian Jumang resides within this grand hall, protecting the entire Endless Forest.

So the question is, why does Jumang stay here all the time?

Ron remembered that the butterfly fairy had said that Jumang would sometimes feel bored, so he asked the butterfly fairy and other magical beasts who had the ability to communicate telepathically to chat with him.

If Jumang finds it boring, then why does he insist on staying to guard the temple?

Inside the Guardian Temple... could there be something that requires a Legendary-level Mythical Beast to remain here to protect it...?

A demon god...?

Ron's thoughts were wandering; he felt that the meaning of protecting the temple's existence might not be so simple.

But before Ron could figure anything out, the mimic bat said to him:

"Sir, here we are."

Looking up, the gates of the Guardian Temple were right in front of him, slowly opening before Ron.

Rumble

The heavy sound of the door opening rang out again.

Ron and the mimic bats entered the Guardian Hall.

As soon as Ron entered, he heard the demon ask:

"Oh? You've made up your mind so quickly, Ron?"

Ron looked up and saw the black sphere representing the existence of the demon god still above the unconscious Jumang's head.

He appeared even larger than before, and to make sure Ron knew he was looking at him, two upward-sloping, hollow eyes appeared on the sphere.

Ron stared into those eyes for a moment before asking the demon:

"What benefits would I gain if I pledged allegiance to you?"

"Heh heh heh, using this trick again?"

The demon god suddenly laughed and said, "You used this trick to fool the Thorn Witch and Master Tiger when you fought them, didn't you?"

"Using the same trick over and over again gets boring and uninteresting."

Ron ignored the demon god's teasing and squinted at him:

"...Do you know what they went through?"

Even though the Demon God wasn't present when they defeated the Thorn Witch and Master Tiger, he somehow knew what had happened to them...

Thinking of this, Ron suddenly turned to look at the mimic bat: "...Did this guy tell you?"

"Heh, Ron, you're very clever."

The demon god did not answer directly, but instead praised Ron.

"Keep the praise to yourself; it won't work on me." Ron met the demon's gaze calmly, then cut to the chase: "You said you'd give me power, but how? By letting the power of darkness invade my body, and then making me lose my will like the Lion King?"

The demon chuckled: "No, I won't do that. That would only cause you to lose your potential. What I'm doing is actually very simple... activating your potential."

“Us?” Ron thought of Mu Dongyin. “Like Mu Dongyin? But she seems to be completely obedient to you.”

"No, no, no, she calls me that entirely of her own volition, it has nothing to do with me, and Ron, you and she are different."

"What's different?"

Ron countered with a question.

But the demon god remained silent at this moment.

Ron didn't mind the riddle-maker's behavior; he simply laughed and said to the demon god:

"Anyway, since you said that, it means you admit it, right? You really are controlling her."

"I merely amplified her thoughts; as for her loyalty..." The demon paused for a moment, then laughed, "That doesn't really concern me much."

Not a big deal? Pshaw, I don't believe you for a second!

Ron held the demon god in utter contempt.

However, on the surface, he calmly asked the demon god:

"You won't turn me into that kind of person, will you?"

“Ron, it’s good that you’re wary, but please trust me a little more. I’ve said it from the beginning: you’re different, and I won’t do that to you.”

The Demon God made a solemn promise.

But Ron didn't believe him. He directly asked the system in his mind:

'System, if I'm being controlled by the other party, is there any way you can help me break free?'

To ensure that the host's mind is not contaminated by any impurities and that the simulation of the host's childhood fantasies is not altered by any unforeseen circumstances, any external forces acting on the host's mind during the simulation will not affect the host.

'I understand, it's about immunity to mind control, right?'

Ron thought to himself.

The simulation system did not provide an answer this time.

It was as if the system only gave a preset answer because Ron mentioned the keyword.

However, Ron didn't mind. It was better if the system could help him block any mental control.

Otherwise, Ron would have no choice but to gamble on whether he could break free of the control after returning to the real world following his being controlled by the dark forces.

Ron, however, hates gambling.

Now that the system says Ron is immune to all mind-altering abilities in the simulated world, that's perfect.

With insurance coverage, Ron quickly made a decision.

He stepped forward and spoke to the demon:

"Alright, I'll trust you this once. I do need great power. What should I do?"

"It's simple, just show your warrior mark."

The demon god said somewhat impatiently.

Ron pulled open his left collar, revealing a wolf's head in profile: "This?"

"That's right, and then, don't resist... just stand still."

As the demon spoke, a wisp of black energy separated from his body and slowly approached Ron.

Ron stood still, letting the black mist move closer to the wolf head mark on his chest.
