I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

The spider's surprise and confusion were met with the deafening sound of a gunshot.

A weapon specifically designed for killing, its bullets, which travel at speeds exceeding several times the speed of sound, are completely unstoppable for Spider-Man, whose magic and abilities are currently restricted.

Even with the ability to accelerate thought, the bullets in front of me... um? ? They seem easy to dodge?

Spider-Girl leisurely applied the techniques she had learned from the "Water-Cutting Flow Karate" to judge the enemy's hostility and to evade enemies wielding firearms. All the bullets fired from the steel body of the fairy chieftain, Bodimas Pafinas, were within her predictions.

---That's too weak.

She couldn't help but think that.

----Has this fairy chieftain, Bodimas, never learned any real fighting methods? Why didn't he conceal his intentions when firing his gun? His senior brother, who taught him in the "Shutsu-ryu Karate," clearly said that truly powerful firearm-wielding combatants can conceal their attack intentions.

---But the demon's intention to attack is far too obvious.

However, the weakness of the enemy might be more in line with Spider's wishes—she doesn't want to fight a powerful enemy.

Even though you don't have to worry about dying while you're by Zhongli's side, getting hit can still hurt a lot.

"Damn it!"

Seemingly realizing that he couldn't hit the swiftly moving spider in front of him, the fairy chieftain Bodimas flicked his arm.

Then, in the next second, the gun barrel that had grown out of his arm fired a huge beam of light.

The speed of this light bullet far exceeded that of ordinary bullets. Based on comparative estimations, Spider estimated that it had a terrifying speed of about ten times the speed of sound.

At this speed, even with accelerated thinking, it's impossible to see clearly.

Spider-Child narrowly avoided the attack only by relying on his martial arts intuition.

Boom!

A loud bang came from behind the spider.

The castle that was hit by the light blast was blown up almost instantly, with countless broken stones falling to the ground and even more dust spreading in all directions.

"Hey hey hey~~~! What is this?" The spider girl with pure white hair widened her eyes: "Electromagnetic cannon? Plasma cannon? Positron siege cannon?"

"Heh~!" The fairy chieftain Bodimas clearly had no intention of answering the spider girl's question.

He raised his arm, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand immediately gleamed white light once more.

Then, the next second, another huge energy projectile was fired.

Boom!

A loud explosion.

Another light bomb.

This time, the spider did not dodge.

A tremendous whooshing sound suddenly descended, blocking the light blast between her and the target.

After the sky shattered, a girl with black hair and red eyes descended.

"I'm here!"

"Ariel, the Demon King".

"Making a dazzling debut!"

"Ok??"

"Um???"

This appearance left everyone except Zhongli completely bewildered.

Who are you?

The fairy chieftain, Bodimas Pafinas, even bluntly asked, "Are you really that girl Ariel?"

Chapter Thirty-Three Zhongli: I will bind your soul here.

---Ariel, the Demon Lord? Hmm??

----That cold-blooded demon queen Ariel, is actually this kind of character?

"Is it Ariel...?" Spider asked hesitantly.

"Hey. I've already revealed my name directly, why are you still using a question?"

"Let's not talk about someone like Bodimas. As for why I became like this, shouldn't you know very well why?"

Spider-Man scratched his head, looking bewildered: "Should I know that?"

"Her soul has merged with your parallel consciousness."

Zhongli's calm voice explained everything clearly.

“Oh right.” The Demon Prince turned his head, a bright smile on his face. “The thing you sent over has now completely merged with me. I am now both Demon Lord Ariel and a part of Wakaba Himeiro. Of course, the main consciousness is still Demon Lord Ariel. But I’m not really sure, after all, my personality has changed a lot.”

"Soul fusion?" Upon hearing the Demon Prince's words, the fairy chieftain Bodimas frowned in his metallic body: "How was that possible?"

"Ha! Fairy Chieftain Bodimas, are you talking to me?"

An immense killing intent emanated from the Demon Queen Ariel's body, pressing down towards the Fairy Chieftain Bodimas.

It possesses the power of the most ancient divine beasts; its mere aura is enough to kill ordinary dragons.

But to the fairy chieftain Bodimas, this was nothing more than a gentle breeze greeting him.

What he cares about most right now is the soul fusion that Ariel mentioned.

This is a technology he has always wanted to master, but has never been able to.

In his calculations, if he possessed this technology, then he would have a way to achieve his ultimate goal—eternal life without aging or death.

Although he can now achieve endless physical life, the aging and depletion of his soul is inevitable.

Just like the souls on this planet that are constantly being exploited, his soul has also reached the end of its life. So if he could obtain the ability to merge souls, he could delay the aging of his soul indefinitely by merging with younger souls.

"Tell me, Ariel, how exactly did you acquire this ability?"

The fairy chieftain, Bodimas Paphinas, whispered a command.

"Why? Why?"

The Demon Prince happily repeated this phrase.

The fairy chieftain, Bodimas, frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "You, are you really Ariel? Hmm... When I activated the anti-magic barrier, I couldn't activate the authentication, which is quite a headache. I have absolutely no way of knowing whether you're the real deal or a fake."

“Of course I am the real person,” the Demon Prince retorted matter-of-factly. “Besides, I don’t want to be told that by some imposter with a body made of scrap metal.”

“That’s a really jarring thing to say.” The fairy chieftain Bodimas grinned. “However, my dear Ariel, if you’re willing to tell me the secret of your soul fusion, I might allow you to call me Papa again, and I’ll give you the love a father should have.”

"Yes. Just like that [new daughter] Oka who's under my protection right now."

"Gang?? Could it be Teacher Gang?" Spider's pupils dilated. "Teacher Gang is with you?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing the spider's words, the fairy chieftain Bodimas revealed a playful smile; "Oh, it seems you are also a reincarnated person from another world. I didn't expect that while other reincarnated people are still in their infancy, you have already grown to this extent. It seems you were directly reincarnated as Ariel's familiar? How interesting."

"You also seem to be related to the ability of soul fusion. Interesting, very interesting." The fairy chieftain Bodimas smirked.

"You'll remember me, wait for me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Demon Prince took a step forward and threw a punch, arriving in front of the fairy chieftain Bodimas with extraordinary speed.

Boom!

A loud bang.

The once arrogant fairy chieftain, Bodimas, had his head blasted into pieces. His mechanical body fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

"died?"

Spider realized what was happening, jumped two steps, and arrived in front of the broken machine lying on the ground.

"No, that's not true." The Demon Prince curled his lip. "This guy is good at nothing, except for his excellent ability to escape."

"His current mechanical body is merely an accessory to him, allowing him to transfer his consciousness at will, regardless of how many times he dies."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Li, who had been watching from a distance, took two steps forward and came to stand in front of them.

He glanced at the wreckage of the robot on the ground, pondered for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the Demon Prince.

“I’ll do it. It just so happens that my contract with you includes an agreement to completely kill the fairy chieftain, Bodimas Paphinas.”

"Hmm?? This guy's consciousness has already escaped." The Demon Prince raised an eyebrow.

"For beings like me and the evil god D, the soul and consciousness are not such abstract things."

As Zhongli spoke, he slowly squatted down, extended one of his fingers, and pressed it onto the broken mechanical body of the fairy chieftain, Bodimas.

The next second, no abnormal behavior was observed.

A glimmer of life suddenly rose from the broken machinery.

"here it is.....!"

A voice rang out from the broken mechanical body, and both the Demon Prince and the Spider Child immediately recognized it as the voice of the Fairy Chieftain, Bodimas.

Zhongli slowly stood up, no longer looking at the machine on the ground, and his voice rang out leisurely.

“I have summoned back the soul of Bodimas Paphinas through this mechanical body and imprisoned it within it forever.”

"He can no longer use the ability to transfer his soul. This also means that his death this time is a true death."

"Ok??"

The Demon Prince was taken aback.

Then he looked at Zhongli in disbelief: "Is this real?"

Zhongli responded with a calm gaze: "Since Evil God D was able to create such a skill system that repeatedly utilizes souls, is it surprising that someone as strong as her would do something so trivial?"

"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work. I need to get back to mine too."

As he spoke, Zhongli looked up from the broken ceiling of the castle towards the sky.

In his eyes, on a satellite outside that planet, a girl with an expressionless face, dressed in a sailor uniform from the Japanese archipelago on Earth, was coldly looking at him.

"You've arrived, Manager D."
