The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

As a result, gradually, not many people knew about the characteristics of this plant.

Their rarity is naturally related to the fact that they are parasitic plants. Although they can reproduce by self-pollination, they also have a special property—they are 100% likely to develop intelligence.

After all, not many intelligent beings can accept self-fertilization and inbreeding... well, XP is a special exception.

Therefore, they have very little chance of reproducing...

Furthermore, because these plants are 100% capable of developing sentience, they can evolve into various different forms, making them recognizable only by their aura.

It can be said that only those who know mistletoe can recognize which plants are parasitized by it.

Stella, the Demon Queen, is an even more special existence among the already special mistletoe—a mistletoe that has been transformed into a succubus.

Perhaps it is precisely because she is so special that she has been able to remain in the position of Demon King for thousands of years...

At the same time, it is precisely because of Stella's special nature that Lulum has reason to suspect that this mistletoe is related to her mother.

After all, this mistletoe derivative can even take on the appearance of her mother. Who would believe that it has nothing to do with her mother?

However, although this mistletoe is definitely related to her mother, Stella the Demon Lord, it is absolutely impossible for her to be her mother.

Please, her mother is a succubus at the peak of godhood! How could they, who were transformed or evolved into plant-type succubi, possibly regress back to plants?

Although this mistletoe derivative has the ability to drain her dry instantly, this only happens when she is completely unprepared.

This mistletoe can only be considered a special variant that has a connection with the Demon Queen Stella...

Of course, given that its derivatives can transform into the likeness of Lulu's mother... perhaps this mistletoe has seen her mother before... or perhaps it is simply her mother's "sister"?

But no matter what, this could never be her mother… that’s what Lulum thought.

That's why, when Lulum learned that Chloe had been parasitized by "mistletoe," although she was somewhat surprised, she only reminded Chloe to be careful not to let the demons who were unaware of the truth find out.

Because in the eyes of ordinary demons... and even the Four Heavenly Kings, the creatures chosen by mistletoe all have the potential to become "gods".

Lulum knew that Chloe was "naturally" averse to trouble, which was why she was so careful in reminding her.

Surprisingly, even with Chloe's reminder, she still managed to reveal the existence of mistletoe to the Four Heavenly Kings one by one...

……

After the explanation was clear, Lulum accepted Stella's existence... After all, it was like she had gained another family member, so what complaints could she have?

only……

"Little Stella, could you please not call me 'Grandma'?" Lulum said to Stella in a pleading tone.

"Why?" Stella seemed a little confused.

After all, based on the knowledge she gained from her "birth," her father and mother should be called grandmothers.

“Because I can’t accept it…” Lulum thought to herself as she looked at Stella’s face, which was almost identical to her mother’s.

"...Anyway, just call me by my name like Chloe does." Lulum, unsure how to explain to the child, thought for a moment and then said to Stella in a helpless tone.

"Okay! I understand, Lulum." Stella nodded obediently and immediately started calling Lulum by her name.

"Stella, can you call me by my name?" Chloe immediately asked Stella after she started calling her by Lulum's name.

The word "father" still felt too strange to her...

"Daddy, don't you want me anymore?" Upon hearing Chloe's words, Stella immediately said to Chloe with teary eyes, seemingly unwilling to change her way of calling her Chloe...

That's why they're so quick to change how they address others—they just can't change it to "Dad"!

Stella's actions left Chloe completely bewildered.

……

Rewind to a short time ago, Elsa, the head of the Abyss Order's merchant guild, was meeting with a special order cadre.

Although she didn't know this cult leader and he appeared in her room without prior contact, the intense aura emanating from him, which made her think he was "facing the abyss," made it hard for her to doubt his identity.

Even though she looked like just a little girl, and even though she was accompanied by two people who couldn't sense the abyss's presence at all, she didn't dare to react in any special way.

They simply listened obediently to the official's request.

You must understand, this aura of the abyss that makes her feel like she's "facing the abyss" is something even the leader of the cult can't do! What room does she have to resist?

Elsa didn't even have the courage to ask her to hide her demonic aura.

They were afraid that if this official got upset, he might just throw her away... This was no joke!

Fortunately, she had come to this secret room, which only she knew about, in advance because she had a meeting today. Otherwise, if others found out that she, a major shareholder of the United Chamber of Commerce, had contact with the demons... she would be finished.

The purpose of this cadre's visit to her was simple: to ask her to use her influence in the Chamber of Commerce to spread the news of the hero Li Wen's resurrection, and to let the human race know that the resurrected hero had been controlled by the demon race.

Elsa was initially a little doubtful about this request... Even if they wanted to use the hero's identity as a basis for their argument, saying it was a resurrection seemed like a pipe dream.

After all, resurrection is something that only exists in legends. Even if you use the corpse of a hero as material to create an undead race... once resurrected as an undead race, you can't tell what they looked like before they were born, so it's impossible for them to use the hero's identity to cause trouble.

It wasn't until Elsa saw the face of one of the men in black robes next to the cadre that she immediately became excited.

A hero controlled by demons... This will inevitably spur the church to summon a new hero ahead of schedule, and will also incite public outrage...

After all, in the past few years, the hero Li Wen has been transformed into a national idol and a spiritual pillar for the common people of the human race. If the hero Li Wen becomes a lackey of the demon race, his image will collapse completely, and the people will definitely not be able to accept it.

Finally, it's even possible that the human rulers, outraged by the people's outrage, would be forced to initiate a war against the demons...

Which member of any religious order dislikes chaos?

Just as Elsa was discussing the specific implementation plan with the mysterious cult leader, the black-robed loli Stella, the meeting began...

What happened next needs no further explanation.

In short, after becoming interested in Xiao Yan Yan's resurrection spell, Stella immediately went to Xiao Yan Yan's location.

Incidentally, the coordinates were provided by Elsa. After all, she and Xiao Yanyan have a pretty good relationship, so she naturally knows roughly where Xiao Yanyan is attending the meeting.

This isn't about betraying your teammates; it's about giving her sister Xiao Yan Yan a chance to make a great contribution!

Even Elsa realized that the "brave Levin" standing next to the cadre was just an empty shell without a soul.

After all, the Abyss Cult has always studied the soul, and as its leaders, they naturally understand the soul to some extent.

……

Looking at the body of the hero Li Wen in front of her, Xiao Yan Yan couldn't help but feel excited.

After all, her purpose in making a deal with the saintess was to obtain the body of the hero Li Wen from the Elf Holy Kingdom, as well as the materials to resurrect him.

How could she not be excited that someone had actually brought the "living" hero Li Wen to her side?

Although it's unclear why the brave warrior Li Wen was brought back to life by the cadre in front of him, he still has no soul.

But as long as the soul of the hero Li Wen doesn't completely disappear, she is confident that she can bring his soul back.

Because her resurrection spell is essentially a spell to summon a person's soul. However, to resurrect a soul, one must have a complete body and pay a corresponding price.

Moreover, the success rate of resurrecting someone seems to be boosted by their fame. With the fame of the hero Li Wen... the success rate might be increased by 1000%!

She even came up with a name for this spell, which she took from a game on her arcade machine: "Heroic Spirit Summoning"!

As for the deal with the Holy Maiden? It's obvious that someone else beat her to it, so what does it have to do with her?

"However, although it may be presumptuous, there is one thing I would like to confirm... what is your purpose in reviving the hero Li Wen?"

Before preparing to summon the hero Li Wen, Xiao Yan Yan mustered up her courage and asked Stella a question.

"Why? Of course, it's to enjoy the pleasure of corrupting the hero~ After all, what's the point of using a puppet to cause destruction compared to having the hero himself destroy everything he's protecting?"

Stella didn't take Xiao Yanyan's presumptuous question seriously, and simply spoke in a tax-evading tone.

As expected of a high-ranking member of the cult, her ideas are indeed quite perverse... Even Xiao Yan Yan, who is already somewhat mentally unstable, had to admire Stella's ideas after hearing her words.

But in the end, she still wanted to ask one question: "What about the invasion of the Demon Realm..."

"The script is already written, and the liberation of the abyss is just around the corner."

Xiao Yan Yan then laughed along with Stella.

However, they seem to be celebrating a little too soon.

The matter of summoning the soul of the hero Li Wen is shrouded in mystery...

Chapter 109 Preparing to Reveal My Identity...

Chloe couldn't quite understand Stella's obsession with calling her "Dad."

But since Stella doesn't want to change, she won't force her... After all, there's nothing wrong with Stella calling her "Dad"... Well, actually, it's all just a point of contention.

There's nothing we can do about it. Let Stella call me that for now. We can always change her mind when she's older and more sensible.

Anyway, from Chloe's perspective, Lulum's misunderstanding of Stella has been cleared up, which is better than anything else.

Although Lulum's gaze towards Stella was still a little off, that's only human nature.

After all, no matter who it is, seeing someone with your mother's face acting like a little girl... and the object of that affection is your own daughter... anyone would find it hard to look directly at her.

But that was all. After confirming that Stella was not her mother, Lulum felt much relieved and immediately ended Stella's existence.

Currently, Lulum has begun to establish friendly communication with Stella... In Chloe's opinion, their relationship is still quite harmonious.

Stella was an obedient child, and she had a slight liking for Lulum. Lulum herself was also very gentle... Even Black Lulum was just a tease, and in essence, she was no different from Lulum.

Therefore, Chloe has no doubt that Lulum can get along well with Stella...

However, when Lulum was trying to build a good relationship with Stella, she didn't put herself in the position of an elder at all.

No matter what, Stella has an "elderly face" and her name is exactly the same as Lulum's mother's... Lulum really can't put herself in a very high position.

Even though Stella in front of her is actually Lulum's "granddaughter" in terms of relationship, Lulum says she can't do it...

Therefore, Lulum's "friendly exchanges" with Stella mostly involved her acting as a "teacher"... because there were still many things Stella didn't understand, so Lulum would teach her some knowledge while communicating with her.

Although Chloe still felt a little strange watching Lulum's "cautious" way of educating Stella, seeing Lulum and Stella getting along so well filled Chloe with a strange sense of relief... like a wife seeing her husband taking care of their daughter...

Wait, isn't this backwards?

Hmm... never mind, it's not a big deal! Anyway, that's roughly the gist of it!

While Lulum and Stella were getting along well, Chloe went back to the kitchen to cook.

Because Lulum had almost no doubts about Chloe's explanation, the whole explanation process didn't take too long.

Even when Chloe returned to the kitchen to continue cooking, Ilesia, who had gone to the next house to get ingredients, returned them.

Actually, when Lulum heard that Chloe was going to cook, she offered to help Chloe... After all, in Lulum's eyes, Chloe had never cooked alone since birth, and Lulum was a little worried.

However, Chloe refused Lulum's request for help, citing Lulum's need to look after the child.

Even when she refused Lulum's help, she seemed a bit willful. Lulum couldn't persuade Chloe otherwise and finally gave up on helping her.

The reason Chloe didn't let Lulum help wasn't because Lulum was a bad cook; on the contrary, Lulum was actually a better cook than Chloe.

She's an all-rounder at housework, has a great personality, looks that appeal to Chloe's XP system, and is also world-class in strength... She's practically the perfect goddess in Chloe's heart.

Although Lulu is her mother in terms of status... tsk, so what?

Ahem, back to the main topic. The reason Chloe refused Lulum's help wasn't because she had any particular ulterior motives; she simply wanted Lulum to get some rest.

According to Chloe's careful observation, Lulum's mental state was still a bit poor... She was so tired that she fainted at the slightest stimulation, and this rest was not enough.

And... Lulum hasn't even tasted her cooking yet, her cooking from another world.

Chloe felt it was time to confront Lulum about the matter.

Although time travelers are not unheard of in this world, during the time she lived with Lulum, she also hinted to Lulum that she was not an ordinary child... Lulum probably already guessed it.

But she still wanted to tell Lulum that she was a transmigrator, and a "reborn hero" at that... If Lulum were just an ordinary demon, Chloe would have preferred not to reveal these things... because Chloe still wanted to openly and legitimately act cute towards Lulum.

But now, Lulum has become a Demon King, and he wants to be a "benevolent and virtuous" Demon King who can coexist with humans.

Chloe wants to use her power to help Lulum... not only for Lulum's "ideals," but also for world peace.

Therefore, Chloe felt it was time to reveal her identity and powers to Lulum, otherwise, in Lulum's eyes, she would just be a child...

Most importantly, Chloe felt that only by revealing her true identity could her relationship with Lulum take another step forward...

Thinking of this, Chloe couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile.

However, Chloe quickly patted her face to calm herself down.

Now is not the time to think about such things. She should think about how to organize her thoughts and explain these things to Lulum after the meal.

Hmm… If Lulum can’t accept all of this at once, she’ll have to consider “split broadcasting”.
