The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

"Dad, what are you doing? Are you including me?"

Chloe immediately responded to Stella's question:

"I'm trying to figure out how to make these vines understand what I'm saying..."

Chloe looked at the vines that had collapsed onto the bed, seemingly on strike, and said with a dark expression.

I only said a couple of words to them, why are they throwing a tantrum?

"It's not that they can't understand what she's saying..." Chloe thought to herself.

"Communication? Isn't it saying, 'I'm so excited, please scold me more!'? Why does it want you to scold it, Dad?"

Stella's words silenced Chloe.

No wonder these vines look thicker than before... Is he a masochist?

However, Chloe only remained silent for a moment before immediately realizing what was happening—

"Stella, can you communicate with these vines?"

Stella nodded slightly when Chloe asked her that question.

Chloe looked at Stella, who nodded in confirmation, and she understood... Since Stella was a derivative of this "mistletoe," and she could also control the vines... it was perfectly normal for her to be able to communicate with these vines...

So, could she also help her control these vines?

So Chloe told Stella about her idea... As soon as Chloe finished speaking to Stella, she imagined connecting the vines to another body, just like Stella had done before, and Stella immediately took action.

"Is that right?"

Stella waved her hand, and the vines that had been lying limp on the bed instantly straightened up and then quickly pierced Chloe's other body... the kind that's "chillingly cold." It's safe to say that Chloe's heart skipped a beat at the sight.

If Chloe hadn't noticed that the green marks instead of red blood were coming from where the vines had pierced her other body, she would have thought that her other body had been pierced through.

It looks really scary... If Chloe hadn't known that Stella and these vines wouldn't harm her, she would have thought Stella was trying to kill her own father.

However, it turns out that Chloe's idea was feasible... The moment the "mistletoe" connected with the soul contract of her original body, she received a system notification.

Ding--

USB is connected; USB is used for: charging only/file transfer/photo transfer

Please select the purpose.

"?"

Chloe looked at the system notification and was momentarily speechless.

She felt that this lousy system was playing a trick on her, but she had no proof.

……

Inside the Demon King's Palace, Miukia, who had originally left with Tepela, suddenly returned and, using her status as Lulum's elder, asked Lulum about that question.

After hearing Miukia speak to her in an elder's tone, Lulu immediately switched from Black Lulu to Miukia and said:

“Aunt Miao…which matter are you referring to? If it’s about letting your lovers go…no way! You know they, they, and they could all be dogs of the Abyss Order, and I can’t let them go.”

As for Lulum's words, Miukia dismissed them with disdain:

“What are you thinking, my dear niece? Who am I? Why would I lack those things?... I'm talking about the wedding..."

Upon hearing Mukia mention this, Lulum, realizing she had misunderstood, smiled awkwardly and said:

"I remember... but there are still three days until the agreed date, why bring this up suddenly?"

"You know there are only three days left? I've been helping you make arrangements these past few days, and you've just stayed home and haven't come out... You finally managed to contact me, and... never mind! You have to come back with me today!"

Seeing that Lulum still remembered this matter, Miukia spoke without any politeness, now completely adopting the tone of an elder, which can be described as utterly unceremonious.

Lulum didn't react particularly to Myukia's blunt tone.

After all, Miao Qiya's "rudeness" just gave the impression that she was never treated like an outsider... She herself didn't have any airs of being a demon king, so she didn't feel anything when her elders spoke to her in that tone.

However, she didn't quite understand why Myuukia wanted her to go back with her, so Lulum continued:

“There was a little accident… And why would I go back with Aunt Miao? I need to go home to see Chloe…”

Seeing that Lulum seemed completely clueless, Miukia sighed and said:

"My Demon King, you don't think that getting married is just a matter of you waiting to show up at the wedding, do you?"

"Huh? Isn't that right? But Chloe..."

Seeing Lulum's utter confusion, Miukia sighed deeply.

"Sigh... never mind, I'll take your daughter with me too..."

……

In a city on the border of the human race... this is the city where the previous incident took place.

At this moment, the people in the city seemed to have returned to normal, and it was as if they had no memory of what had happened in the city before dawn.

And all the "protagonists" of the previous "farce" are no longer in this city.

The demons Tepera and Muqia naturally used a teleportation scroll to leave.

Meanwhile, "Fake Li Wen," Stella the Demon King, and Lucas took the opportunity to escape while Meryl and her friends were fighting with Tepera and her group.

Of course, before slipping away, Stella, the Demon Queen, didn't forget to manipulate "Fake Levin" and the "cameras" in the crowd to annoy Mary and the others.

As for how disgusting it was? Well, it was just more smear campaigning... like, "Look, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan have come to their aid!", "They're in a panic, they want to kill people to silence them!", "Look! They seem to have discovered the cameras, and now they want to attack the Demon Clan to prove their innocence, but unfortunately, the eyes of the masses are discerning!"

In short, they used camera angles and trash talk to smear Mary and her friends for a while, and then slipped away before Mary and her friends could react.

It was only after hearing what the "fake Liwen" said that Meili realized that the two suddenly appearing demon "Four Heavenly Kings" were not enemies, and that the angle at which the [King of Calamity] attacked her was clearly wrong.

Moreover, just now, [King of Calamity] even used her skill to attack "his own people" instead of continuing to attack her.

Furthermore, the Crimson King initially intended to attack "his own people," but the Shadow King suddenly switched places with Ilya.

In other words, in the eyes of the other two "Four Heavenly Kings," the Shadow King is the enemy?

Just as she realized what had happened, the "fake Li Wen" disappeared.

Almost simultaneously with the disappearance of "Fake Liwen," the demon king who fought against her was also gone.

Meili sensed spatial fluctuations from the [King of Calamity]'s side, indicating that the [King of Calamity] had likely teleported away... As for the "fake Liwen," there was no trace of him at all, as if he had vanished into thin air.

The only person Mary could think of who could do that was the Shadow King.

In other words... the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Demon Clan are really fighting amongst themselves?

Meryl frowned, thinking, "They actually managed to cause infighting among the demons... It seems we need to pay close attention to this organization."

That little girl who looks a bit like Li Wen seems to know a lot about this organization. I need to have a good talk with her. I'll just have Ilya lend me the scroll first.

After much deliberation, Meryl decided to seek refuge with Ilya.

But when she tried to find Ilya, Meryl suddenly realized that... the only Saint-level aura left in the room was hers and the [Holy Spirit Dragon].

Furthermore, she discovered spatial fluctuations at the spot where Ilya had originally fought the Crimson King...

Was Ilya taken away by teleportation magic?!

With that thought in mind, Mary immediately pulled out a cell phone from her storage magic and tried to contact Ilya.

Chapter 162 Let's see what kind of sly idea you're coming up with!

Mary tried to contact Ilya by phone, but as soon as she dialed, a cold, emotionless female voice came from the other end:

The number you dialed is currently switched off.

Meryl: "..."

Power off? What's going on with Ilya? Why would she power off her phone?

This isn't a "solo mission" anymore...

Their phones were all "black technology" that "Li Wen" got from the system, the kind that could be charged by magic in the air.

So it couldn't be that the battery was dead... Ilya must have turned it off herself.

Is her phone habitually turned off?

This was the first possibility that came to Mary's mind.

After all, Ilya often did this kind of thing in the past... shutting down the computer and then focusing on assassinations.

Don't forget, Ilya's role is that of an assassin.

Of course, it refers to the abstract kind of assassin who believes that "assassination is considered successful if the enemy doesn't discover it."

As for why she was taken there... Meili knew without even thinking that she must have been taken back to the demon's "lair" by the Crimson King... otherwise, where else could she have been taken?

Given Ilya's personality... Melly strongly suspects that she was so caught up in the excitement that she didn't even realize she had been taken away by teleportation magic.

In Li Wen's words: The assassin got carried away ganking in the jungle...

Although Mary didn't know what "jungle area" meant, she understood the meaning of the phrase.

However, Meryl did think of another possibility... Could it be that Ilya went to the demon realm on her own initiative?

After all, that little girl who called herself "Liwen" seems to be in the Demon Realm, and Ilya might have gone to find her...

Oh well... anyway, with Ilya's strength, as long as she doesn't provoke the Demon King, she should be able to roam freely among the demons.

What does Ilya want to do? Can she possibly stop her?

In short, after realizing that she couldn't contact Ilya for the time being, Melly sighed and gave up on trying to reach her.

Although their hero squad still has emergency communication methods, it's not worth resorting to that ultimate method for something like this.

Ilya just ran away, leaving her alone to deal with this mess.

They originally came to deal with the "fake Li Wen" incident, but instead of dealing with the "fake Li Wen," they got themselves into trouble.

To be honest, Mary was still very angry about how things turned out.

But her reason told her that getting angry was useless... or rather, that "fake Li Wen's" purpose was to disgust them, and if she got angry, she would really lose.

What's disgusting is that when she returns to the capital, she will not only have to explain what happened here to the empire, but also to the people of the whole country that a mysterious organization is behind this, and she hopes that the masses will not be misled.

If she can't explain it clearly, she'll have to apologize to the whole nation... Ugh, just thinking about it is such a hassle.

She's never been one to like troublesome things, and she usually tries to handle things whenever possible... but she can't even touch this mess.

However, she did gain something... at least she now knows just how dangerous the organization called the "Abyss Order" is.

So it's all the fault of that organization called the "Abyss Order"!

She had to find a way to get rid of this dangerous organization called the "Abyss Cult," no matter what.

The things the Abyss Order did in this city were just too... shocking to her.

Indeed, besides being angry about the existence of the "fake Levin," Meryl was also quite shocked by the entire "Abyss Order."

How exactly did this organization manage to get a demon of the level of the Shadow King to join?

This was the most shocking point for Melly, and other points included how they obtained Li Wen's body, how they controlled the crowd, and how they could make the crowd return to normal in an instant.

When Mary first saw the crowd gathered at the scene, she knew that the crowd was being controlled... but she did not sense any magical fluctuations.

And after the "fake Li Wen" escaped, the crowd instantly returned to normal and didn't remember what had happened at the scene... or even why they were there in the first place.

Even the city's lord emerged from the crowd and expressed his doubt.

Most importantly, when the crowd returned to normal in an instant, Meryl still didn't sense even the slightest fluctuation of magic.

No matter how well concealed, a group of mental magic of this scale couldn't possibly be completely without any fluctuations... Could it be that what they're using isn't magic?

Mary guessed to herself, and the more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became.

If this organization truly possesses "new technology," then its power is likely far greater than she imagines.

That's why Mary felt she couldn't even touch it... If she did, who would deal with the organization?

It seems that besides her, only Eustia has the ability to handle this organization.

But Eustia… she's already been bewitched by this organization, and she even wants to see Eustia as a "hypothetical enemy"…

However, as shocked as she was, since the target had already run away and Ilya had also "taken the first step," there was no reason for Meryl to stay in the same place any longer.

Furthermore, the Holy Spirit Dragon, who had previously attempted to attack the Shadow King but was completely outmaneuvered by him, used communication magic to inquire about the situation at the scene from Melly after everyone else had disappeared.
