Mo Li felt sorry for Kova's death, saying that all talk of fate was just a bunch of lies.
However, Kova was already dead, and Mo Li had no interest in desecrating his corpse, so he burned it to ashes.
The deaths of Kova and Ellie did not make Mo Li let go of his hatred; on the contrary, he wanted Nitta Sadahira even more to die.
Looking at the goddess leaning against him, Mo Li raised the Blade of Rebellion and said calmly:
"What, aren't you going to run away with the hero you chose?"
"I said from the beginning that I wouldn't interfere in the affairs between the hero and the demon king, have you forgotten?"
"Heh, so you mean even if I kill him, you won't do it?"
"Please feel free to do as you please. Aren't heroes something you can summon at will?"
When the goddess faced Mo Li, she seemed to revert to her divine nature; to her, the hero was merely a tool to save the world.
If one tool breaks down, you can simply summon another one; there's always one that can fulfill its purpose.
The goddess spoke so casually, but to Mo Li, it sounded utterly ridiculous. Was he just a tool too?
What destiny, what fate? It's nothing but a trick the gods use to deceive ignorant people like them.
"So that's how it is. There's no such thing as destiny. It was all arranged by you."
"Hmm, not too stupid, better than that hero. As expected of the Demon King I personally chose!"
"Stop with the pretense. Why did you choose me?"
Mo Li pointed the Blade of Rebellion directly at the goddess, the tip of the sword only a centimeter away from her eyes, but the goddess didn't even move, seemingly unafraid of Mo Li's threat.
"It's because the previous Demon King died by accident. The whole world needs to be balanced, and heroes and Demon Kings are the most important elements in this process."
"That's why you summoned two people directly, not as the hero's companions, but as substitutes for the Demon King. How do you know I would definitely go to the Demon King's castle?"
"That's easy. Besides the Demon King's Castle, where else could you go back then?"
The goddess's question left Mo Li stunned. Indeed, the situation was urgent, and Mo Li realized that apart from the Demon King's Castle, there was nowhere else he could go.
The goddess has mastered the art of controlling people's hearts to an extreme.
"I originally thought you were at most a D-rank Demon Lord, but I never imagined you would grow to this level."
The goddess chuckled self-deprecatingly, but in Mo Li's eyes, she seemed to know nothing about the system.
It turns out that the Demon King Training System wasn't placed somewhere in the God Realm; I just happened to sit on that throne.
The world's balance, for such a ridiculous reason, disregards the lives of others. It seems that even the divine realm has become utterly corrupt.
"Goddess, huh? No matter what kind of hero you summon, I'll kill him for you."
"Please do as you please. My only responsibility is to prevent the world from being destroyed. As for the rest, you are free to do as you please."
"Then I've changed my mind. What do you think about unifying the continent and conquering the realm of gods?"
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, the goddess's expression finally changed, and a holy light shone from behind her.
Two pairs of wings emerged from the goddess's back, clearly indicating that Mo Li had thoroughly enraged her.
"The dignity of the divine realm cannot be violated. It seems you also want to follow in the footsteps of your predecessor, the Demon King."
"Do you think you can kill me?"
The goddess narrowed her eyes, and a holy beam of light shot from her hand, aimed directly at Mo Li's heart.
Mo Li quickly used Susanoo to try to block the goddess's attack.
Zero never expected that Susanoo, on which Mo Li had placed such high hopes, would be as fragile as paper, instantly pierced by the beam of light.
Five mouthfuls of blood gushed from Mo Li's mouth, and he collapsed to the ground with a large hole pierced through his chest.
But soon, the Demon King's first power was activated, and Mo Li's damaged heart began to slowly recover.
"Oh? You're still alive after all that? You're really tough."
"Cough cough, whoosh~ whoosh~, attacking the Demon King must have violated the laws of the divine realm, aren't you going to run away?"
"Hmph, looks like you know quite a bit. Damn it, why now!"
It seemed someone had said something to her; the goddess muttered a few curses under her breath, then vanished in a flash of light.
With Galadriel's help, Mo Li was helped to rest under a tree, where Galadriel also began to treat him.
Galadriel had witnessed the entire scene and was filled with admiration for Mo Li.
It turns out that the divine realm doesn't care about the feelings of the mortals, which is a devastating blow to Galadriel, who has been a believer all her life.
After making sure she could move, Mo Li stopped Galadriel's treatment.
"Lord Mo Li, your injuries..."
"It's alright, just help me regain some strength, I have my own way of doing it."
As he spoke, Mo Li took out a drop of Phoenix Tear from the system space and swallowed it.
A miraculous scene unfolded: the injured area began to rapidly repair itself, the pierced wound healed quickly, and even the magic power previously consumed was fully replenished.
As expected of an item worth a thousand Demon King Points, the effect is indeed excellent. Mo Li felt a wave of comfort wash over her.
Standing up, Mo Li tested the feel of the Rebellion Blade, feeling the power surging within him.
"Lord Mo Li, how come you... are suddenly all better!"
"Hahaha, as a demon king, how can I not have some trump cards to protect myself? The divine realm has underestimated me too much."
"So, should we continue the pursuit now?"
"No, let's go back to the Sage's House first. I have something to tell you!"
"Yes, Lord Mo Li!"
Mo Li had already used his clairvoyance to see that Nitta Sadahira had escaped the encirclement of the elven elders. Now, it was uncertain when they would catch up, so he decided to spare his life for the time being.
After learning some of the secrets of the current world, Mo Li transferred his hatred to the God Realm.
However, given his current strength, even with immortality, Mo Li wouldn't dare to provoke the God Realm so easily.
Mo Li couldn't imagine how many powerful figures there were in the God Realm if even a random goddess could beat him into this state.
Before we improve our strength, let's set our sights on the heroes.
Another point is to recruit more followers, as one Artoria is clearly not enough.
As Mo Li's strength increased, he was able to contract with 10 familiars, and his Demon King Points reached 6700, enough for him to exchange for a new Demon Eye.
But this time Mo Li plans to save up first. Upgrading the Mangekyou Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan requires 10,000 points. In addition to being able to use the Complete Susanoo, it also removes the side effect of blindness.
The two returned to the elven territory, where the sounds of bombing outside left the elven people somewhat fearful.
"Go and calm the people down first, and we'll talk about it when the sages return."
Galadriel nodded, helped Moli sit down, and then left the house, heading towards her people.
Mo Li tapped the table with his hand, opened the system shop, and first redeemed the most useful Phoenix Tear.
Life-saving items like these need to be replenished once they're used up, and Mo Li has experienced firsthand the benefits of instant recovery.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Li closed his eyes to rest until the evening, when the sages returned.
After calming her people down, Galadriel returned to the Sage's House to await Morrie's orders.
After everyone had arrived, Mo Li stood up and said only three sentences to them:
"It's time to let the continent know the Demon King's fear."
"The Elf race has been separated for too long; it's time for them to reunite."
"My popularity is too low. From now on, Queen Galadriel will reside permanently in the Demon King's Castle."
Chapter 37 Night Elf Nia
The next morning, Mo Li took Galadriel back to the Demon King's Castle.
At the same time, Galadriel also issued a statement to the outside world, announcing that the forest elves had sided with the demon king Mori and declared their opposition to the hero.
This was undoubtedly a bombshell dropped on the eastern continent. The dwarves and orcs were instantly enraged and declared war on the forest elves, and the conflict quickly spiraled out of control.
But in the end, it was all bark and no bite. People of other races were also afraid of the Demon King's revenge, so they only said a few words.
Mo Li also received a reward of one thousand Demon King Points from the system because of Galadriel's statement.
For a time, everyone in the entire eastern continent was on edge, fearing that Mo Li might pounce at any moment.
Little did they know, Mo Li was currently mediating the conflict between Artoria and Galadriel, and was having a headache over it.
"Master, you said you were going out for a stroll, but it turns out you were going to find a woman."
"My Lord Knight, please understand this: I am the Lord of the Elves. Do not assume that just because you are a member of Lord Moli's household, you can treat me with disrespect."
"I need an explanation, Master. Who exactly is this woman?"
"Hmph, Lord Mo Li, there's no need for you to explain to her. You are the Demon King!"
Mo Li was momentarily at a loss. Although he was ruthless and merciless when dealing with Nitta Sadahira, he couldn't be so heartless when dealing with his own people.
However, Mo Li still had a way to deal with Artoria. He placed his hands on Artoria's shoulders, looked at her with deep affection, and slowly said:
“Saber, you should know that no one can shake your place in my heart.”
"Master, why are we suddenly talking about this? That..."
Seeing that this method was effective, Mo Li pressed his advantage and said:
"Lia, you will always be the most outstanding king in my heart, so please assist me."
"I...I understand, Master, can you let me go now?"
Although Artoria has turned to the dark side, her core belief in loyalty remains unchanged.
Mo Li released his grip on Artoria, took a few steps back, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Artoria is the commander of the army in Mo Li's heart. If there is an army in the future, Mo Li will definitely choose Artoria to be the commander of the army.
Mo Li admitted that he was no match for Artoria in military command, especially since Artoria had once led the Knights of the Round Table to defeat enemies who invaded Great Britain.
After settling Galadriel into her accommodations, Mo Li decided to take Artoria to meet this night elf.
Mo Li led Artoria into the Divine Might Space. Artoria, seeing this mysterious space for the first time, was very excited and kept asking questions:
"Master, is this your Reality Marble?"
"No, this is an alternate dimension independent of the real world, much higher than the inherent barrier."
"Wow, that's amazing. I wonder if my Excalibur can break it."
"Ahem, I suggest you don't try it, just come with me obediently."
Mo Li coughed a few times; he didn't want his Divine Might Space to be messed up by Artoria.
Based on the coordinates given by Galadriel, Moli headed towards the border of the Rune Kingdom.
At this time, the night elves and dwarves were in a truce, all because the forest elves had sided with the demon king.
Both sides were on high alert, so they chose to temporarily cease hostilities.
The night elf army was stationed right next to the river, and this truce brought the night elves temporary peace.
As a proponent of war, Nia also had her own considerations at this time. She did not expect that Kailan would choose to side with the Demon King.
Perhaps we should find some time to talk to Galadriel and sound out the Demon Lord's opinion.
Nia couldn't figure out the personality of this Demon King and was very uneasy. She was sure that once Galadriel told the Demon King about the past of the Elven race, the Demon King would definitely come looking for her.
Just as Nia was about to leave the tent, she suddenly felt a tightness in her heart for no reason. She quickly drew her twin swords and turned around. Mo Li was sitting in the main seat in front of her.
After observing Mo Li for a few seconds, Nia sheathed her twin swords and respectfully bowed to him.
"I was unaware of the Demon King's arrival and have failed to greet you properly. I hope the Demon King will forgive me!"
"Oh? I don't recall we've met before, how did you recognize me?"
"At this hour, besides the Demon King, I really can't think of anyone else who would come to see me."
Mo Li greatly admired Nia's wit, and it seemed that he wouldn't need to waste any more words this time.
"Since you knew I was coming, you must also know why I came to see you."
"Please enlighten me, Lord Demon King!"
