After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

……

The first Heroes' Tournament has begun!

In fact, the heroes who participated... cannot be considered true heroes.

Because they were originally just ordinary citizens, villagers, merchants, travelers, and adventurers.

She was only brought to the City of Heroes because she was captured by the Tide Dragon as prey and was used as a candidate for "Puppet Hero," living in a semi-self-centered world ever since.

Their consciousness has been blurred. For example, Lonnie, who used to think of herself as a hero, would never believe that everything she experienced was a dream.

Therefore,

If we only consider the titles and identities of these potential heroes, they are quite intriguing.

such as,

Dark Fairy - Lababa

Liu Sanjie, the Holy Maiden of the Lake

Creation Saint Demon Lord - Zhou Gang Krapes

The King of Tractors—Audi Double Diamond

……

……

But what is the reality?

However, they don't have that much ability. Right now, they are just candidates for heroes, not true heroes, so they can't reshape their physical bodies.

Moreover, even if it could be rebuilt, the current City of Heroes doesn't have that much energy available for everyone to use.

and so……

……

"Ahem, hello everyone! I am Elcia, the registered advisor of the Heroes' Guild! The thing is, our world has been invaded by the terrible Demon Lord of the Defense! We urgently need the help of all heroes to defeat our opponent."

"The Demon Lord of Defense?"

"What...what kind of monster is that?"

The high-ranking dolls all showed expressions of shock, but they didn't seem to have much doubt about Elusia's identity.

"The Demon Lord of Defense is awful! It often goes to the toilet to steal food from dung beetles, and it frequently attacks human cities, leaving behind a rain of defenses!"

"!!!"

"This made the whole city dirty and smelly, it was absolutely awful! We went to confront him, but not only did he refuse to pay the garbage disposal fees, he also crippled the fox hero Lonnie who came to collect the debt!!!"

After saying that, Elusia stepped on Lonely's toes with her little feet.

The little fox, in pain, jumped up... but because it had played too much last night, it didn't jump very high before it fell down.

"Yes, just like now. My little fox usually loves to jump high to eat peaches, and can jump up 3 meters high! But now the little fox can only jump 3 centimeters high, and can't eat peaches anymore, so it can only gnaw on weeds."

"How pitiful..."

"How could anyone bully such a silly little fox?! It's absolutely outrageous!!!"

Lorne's pitiful appearance easily evokes people's sympathy. Therefore, all the heroes are united in their hatred and wish they could simply trample that so-called "Discussion Demon Lord" into a mere "Discussion".

but……

At this moment, Elusia shook her head and said:

"I can feel everyone's passion, but the Demon Lord of Defense is not an easy opponent to defeat. You must pass a certain test before you are qualified to challenge him."

"Assessment..."

"That's right, this is also to help everyone find a way to defeat the Demon Lord of Defense. Otherwise, if you are defeated by the Demon Lord of Defense, you might all be covered in dirt."

……

For brave warriors, if they are told that their abilities are insufficient, many people will feel angry and disappointed.

Take Lorne in the past, for example. If someone said she lacked ability, she would probably try even harder to prove herself, which would lead to her acting somewhat biasedly.

But to be honest...

Don't you want everyone to get dirty?

That way, everyone would find it easier to accept.

After all, nobody wants to defeat their opponent only to have their body covered in the defense papers!

"What kind of test do we need to pass?"

"Well, let Ms. Lianlan, the committee's reviewer, explain the specific details to everyone... Ms. Lianlan, this is the microphone."

"Yes, I'm Lianlan, and this is what happened..."

……

……

The first Heroes' Conference has come to a successful conclusion!

Chapter 2 Post-War Trauma

The events in the City of Heroes have come to a successful conclusion.

Although the matter went through several twists and turns, it can be summarized as follows:

First, a thousand years ago, at the end of the civilization where Lonis lived, people developed powerful technology to resist the demons, and the various city-states located on the vast sea were among the best.

They not only live comfortably, but also possess extremely advanced artificial AI technology... This technology extracts the consciousness of deceased or recruited individuals and then virtualizes it.

Later, this technology became the prototype of the Hero System.

However, due to the plans of Yu Hai Chao Technology, the entire civilization was cursed and destroyed.

The exact cause of the curse is still unclear, but according to Lianlan's speculation, it should be a special ray from the universe or a high dimension... This ray can cause deformities in humans, and the principle is similar to that of the strange fragments, but not exactly the same.

The cursed city fell into utter silence.

For nearly a thousand years afterward, few people set foot in the city, making it seem like a forgotten place, with no records of it remaining.

However, the Demon Lord's scheme shattered the peace here.

In order to replicate the power of Rainbow Abyss, it plotted to invade the City of Heroes... Among them, the innocent Inari was kidnapped and brought here, while Lianlan, who was then the AI ​​administrator, was also tricked by the Demon Lord of Treachery.

A series of battles ensued, which directly led to the rampage of the Tide Dragon, Lianlan losing her memory, and the destruction of the city's security system... It seems that it was only the appearance of the Sun Loli Goddess that prevented things from going to the worst possible state.

Over the next century, Lianlan grew up in the human world, helping humans protect the peaceful bay.

Although Lianlan vaguely remembered her mission, she was unable to return to her homeland and complete her mission due to the terrifying curse of the vast sea.

Time has passed, and now we are here.

Elusia overcame numerous obstacles and, by merging her consciousness into the Ocean of Dimensions, learned about these events that had occurred in the past.

With the help of Senior Sister Yicheng's mechanical arm and the assistance of Lonnie and her companions, everyone finally managed to completely repair the entire City of Heroes, restoring everything to its original state.

Everything has settled down, but Lianlan also stated that she will remain in the City of Heroes to guide the high-level dolls within the city.

And so, the time for parting came again.

"Miss Lianlan, please...please take care..."

Actually, Lonnies didn't want to leave Lianlan alone here.

But what can't be done?

The curse from the vast sea still cannot be lifted, and for the girls, even if the curse is temporarily lifted, new mutations will continue to occur in the city.

Only the inheritors of Rainbow Abyss and those heroes in puppet bodies can stay here.

"Mmm, don't worry about me. This is my home."

"Um……"

"Besides, I'm not alone. There are many people in the city, and I can talk to them."

"Well then, please take care on your journey, Lianlan... Oh, right! If anything happens, please remember to contact us. Although this communication terminal will also be affected by the vast sea, it should still be able to contact the Time Traveler."

"Yes, thank you."

"Lianlan, keep going! We...we still have to save the world together."

……

Although Lonnies was already a heroine who saved the world, and she already had good friends like Su Ling and her senior!

However, compared to the hero, the relationships he had formed with everyone were more like classmates, best friends, and close friends... The one who truly treated him as a hero was Lian Lan.

It was her confidence and courage that inspired Lonnie, propelling her to take another step toward becoming a true hero.

"Well then, goodbye."

"Okay, good luck, Lonnie!"

……

……

The ship slowly sailed away.

Compared to the way there, the return journey was much smoother. After all, without the threat of the Tide Dragon, the remaining monsters were no longer a concern.

So this part of the journey went relatively smoothly, without anything strange happening...

The peaceful days continued, and would continue until the end... Lonnies thought so.

until

"Wow, I'm so used to being a boy, I never thought being a girl would be such a strange thing!"

"what?"
