The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Chapter 143 You're insane! Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she's your wife?

When Lance saw Chloe, he was overjoyed. He ran to Chloe's side and called out, "Wife!"

Then his face turned ashen, because after he shouted, Chloe kicked him hard... Lance clutched his private parts and let out a howl, then knelt on the ground like a shrimp, bent over.

He hadn't expected Chloe to target his vulnerable spot so directly... It was just a slip of the tongue, did she have to be so harsh? He was going to become a girl!

This was what Lance was thinking about besides the pain.

After Chloe kicked Lance, she said in a disdainful tone, "You're crazy. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she's your wife. Do you really think you're 'Lance' from the game? Besides, even 'Lance' wouldn't lay a hand on a little girl..."

Langston reacted immediately to Chloe's words... He seemed to have forgotten his pain, looked up at Chloe, and said to her in a slightly excited tone:

"You...you really are...the moonlight before my bed?"

Seeing that Lance seemed to be alright, she subconsciously clicked her tongue again... Her kick just now was really aimed at breaking his leg, so how come he looks like nothing happened?

However, while Chloe thought this way, she verbally confirmed Lance's idea with her answer:

"Do you want me to accept Li Bai's name or are you just joking?"

"Then... hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron?"

"I've long forgotten the chemistry stuff, can't you just apply the 'odd changes, even remains unchanged' rule?"

Although Chloe's exchange of coded messages with Lance didn't explicitly state her identity as a time traveler, she did clearly reveal it to him.

Since it's just her and Lance around now, it won't hurt to reveal her identity as a transmigrator to him.

It's not like before, where they said it publicly in front of a bunch of people... Plus, the audience watching the match can't hear the players' voices, so Chloe felt comfortable communicating with Lance.

After all, this is the competition venue inside the main hall. In order to prevent the audience outside from affecting the contestants, a soundproof barrier has been set up on the venue. The conversations that occur inside the venue can only be understood through the host's commentary and the audience's imagination...

Chloe's initiative in revealing her identity to Lance actually had its advantages, such as subtly warning him that the position of Hero was being targeted by a mysterious organization.

Another example...

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life?" Chloe asked Lance in a teasing tone.

"What...what do you mean?" Lance asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"What I mean is, you recognize what this is, right? If you do, then you'd better follow my instructions obediently from now on, otherwise I'll send you to see the 'God,' understand?"

"I understand, I understand, whatever you say goes, big sister!"

After hearing Chloe's words, Lance nodded frantically... because at that moment, Chloe was pointing a "black hole" at his head.

Didn't we agree that weapons and props weren't allowed? How come this lady has a gun?

This is a cover-up! It's definitely a cover-up!

Lance was sweating profusely.

He had no desire to experience what a bullet tasted like... At least when he was at a high level, it was impossible for him to dodge or defend against bullets... This was also the result his system had analyzed for him.

"Also, don't call me 'big sister,' call me 'big brother'! Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a boy!"

Although Chloe was talking nonsense, she was indeed a boy, so she spoke with complete confidence.

Even lie-detecting magic couldn't detect anything wrong...

So when Lance saw Chloe in her heavy armor, he believed her.

Wouldn't a boy be better?

This means that the "big brother" is not the "female lead" but rather has a role similar to that of a "bromance partner".

In other words... what's next will be a harem-style development?

Lance thought to himself.

……

Chloe and Lance successfully teamed up... or rather, Chloe forced Lance to team up with her.

Although Chloe could simply let Lance come in last place, she didn't want to be the hero, and she wasn't comfortable letting someone else be the hero... so she figured it was better to bring Lance to the end.

After she eliminates everyone, she will give the first place to Lance... and then ask Lulu Xin to "arrange" something for Lance. Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Based on Chloe's observations, although Lance seems a bit dim-witted, he's not a bad person at heart, so making him a hero shouldn't be a big problem.

However, she needs to consider how to ensure he poses no threat to the demon race. After all, she is now a demon, and this is a concern, because Lance's abilities, if developed to a later stage, are truly terrifying...

This was what Chloe was thinking after she got Lance's [System Panel].

Of course, she couldn't hand over her data panel to Lance, since the "succubus" component in her data panel absolutely couldn't be exposed.

After Chloe and Lance teamed up, Chloe told Lance that she had no interest in the title of Hero, and that she would give him the title of Hero if he cooperated obediently.

Upon hearing that Chloe wasn't interested in the title of Warrior, Lance confidently told her that apart from Chloe, no one else in the competition was his match, and he could win without her help.

However, instead of letting Lance "take his time," Chloe said that as long as his [Taunt Aura] could gather people together, she could help him "solve the problem once and for all."

Lance was initially curious about what method could provide a "one-and-done" solution, but he shut up after Chloe pulled out "that thing."

Even if Chloe says that what she's holding is just a weakened "fake," it's still a missile!

"If this place gets blown up, are you sure they can withstand it?" Lance was utterly panicked.

And how was this thing brought in?

Chloe said that it was truly her ability, and that the referee was one of their own and had been prepared to save the person, so Lance could rest assured.

……

"You little brat! Come and hit me!"

"You chase me~ If you catch me~..."

Lance shouted sarcastically to the two men chasing him as he ran.

These two people are Chris and Leon from the Abyss Order.

Needless to say, the two of them have definitely joined forces.

And before Chloe and Lance even met them, they had already eliminated another contestant.

They've gone completely mad, chasing Lance so frantically that they've even forgotten to use their master-level powers.

Seeing the two members of the Abyss Order in such a state, Chloe couldn't help but marvel once again at the terrifying power of Lance...

[Intelligence Reduction Aura: When activated, the intelligence of all units within range is reduced to one level lower than that of the user.]

[Taunt Aura: When activated, units within range will be provoked by the user and will gradually lose their sanity over time.]

The combination of these two abilities alone would make those affected pose little threat to Lance. In addition, besides these two top-tier abilities, Lance also possesses a system... In other words, if he grows up, he will have more than just these two halos.

That's why Chloe found Lance's abilities terrifying... Anyone of the same level, or even above, would be no match for him if their mental resistance was insufficient.

Fortunately, Lance's weakness is also obvious: against opponents with strong mental resistance, he can't even defeat those of the same level...

So Chloe doesn't need to worry about him posing any threat to Lulum for the time being... she just needs to find a way to make him "maintain" this weakness.

Forget it, let's think about these things after all this is over. He's already brought the person over... Chloe watched Lance brush past her, silently took out her "big treasure," and then detonated the magic scroll hidden inside the empty shell...

Please, how could she possibly project a real missile? The explosion must have been caused by the magic scroll that Ilya made for her! She just fooled Lance a little, making him think she was someone he couldn't mess with... although in reality, he definitely can't mess with her right now.

The scroll Chloe detonated was the worst version Ilya made for her in terms of range and power, but it was still a scroll with an explosion radius of ten meters, capable of killing a master-level character instantly.

Then came an explosion, and the competition ended abruptly... Chloe took first place.

As for why the match ended immediately after the explosion?

That's because Chloe "accidentally" blew Lance up too!

Chapter 144 I was given a chance, but you didn't use it!

The match ended immediately after the explosion...

Although this scroll is the least powerful among the scrolls Ilya gave Chloe, it is still a scroll produced by Ilya, a "demolition expert," so its power cannot possibly be lower than that of a master-level scroll.

After all, Chloe herself has the strength to deal with master-level enemies, so how could she possibly ask Ilya for a scroll with low power?

Within the blast radius of this scroll, it could instantly kill even a Grandmaster-level expert...

Moreover, the stated radius of five meters actually refers to the radius of the blast radius as five meters... The shock wave generated by the explosion can be far more than five meters.

This is where Chloe overlooked something, and it's why Lance was still eliminated even though he listened to Chloe and ran more than five meters away.

The aftershocks of that explosion alone were something that Lance, a mediocre high-ranking official, couldn't withstand.

However, these details don't matter. Anyway, as the "real hero" who was "specially cared for," Lulu had already saved Lance's life after he was caught in the aftershocks of the explosion.

As for the two people who were almost face-to-face hit by Chloe's scroll... since they are all members of the Abyss Order, and there's no real problem with "closing the net" now, do their lives really matter?

That's right, Chloe didn't consider the safety of the people inside the venue at all when she detonated this "missile".

After all, apart from Lance, the other two were confirmed to be members of the Abyss Order, so their deaths were no big deal...

Besides, if those two members of the Abyss Order really die like that, it would show that the Abyss Order doesn't value the title of Hero at all...

But is that possible? They've all discussed cooperation with the church's elders; how could the Abyss Order not take this matter seriously?

Chloe looked at Chris and Leon, who had been protected by the church elder, and gave him a "I knew it" look.

But it doesn't matter, the goal has been achieved anyway... Now all we have to do is make Lance the hero, and Lulu can take care of the rest.

Anyway, she was going back to the Demon Realm soon, and she had already done a great favor for Lulu Xin. Now she just wanted to finish quickly and return to the Demon Realm as soon as possible.

After all, given her current condition, it's impossible for her to stay with the human race for an extended period.

Putting aside the risk of her identity being exposed, the body she's in isn't even her real body.

Her original body is still with Lulu... What if she doesn't return to her original body for too long and it gets "cold"?

Most importantly, she hasn't been able to stick to Lulum for several days, and she's almost experiencing withdrawal symptoms...

……

The final round of the competition is over, but how should I put it... the competition ended rather suddenly, so the audience was a little confused.

Some viewers are still not quite sure what happened.

I just listened blankly as the judges said that in the end, it was Mami Tomoe, whom they had thought was a prankster from the beginning, who won first place.

Is this reasonable?

Aside from the bewildered audience, shouts of "Refund!" filled the venue.

Is this definitely not a rigged match? Do they really think the audience is stupid? The arena was enveloped in a blinding white light the instant "Mami Tomoe" made her move, and then "Mami Tomoe" was suddenly declared the winner... This is the first time they've ever seen such a blatant rigged match.

If there hadn't been another test to determine the final winner, the situation might have easily spiraled out of control.

To be honest, Chloe really didn't expect that Ilya would actually give her a "Lighting" scroll as a "Explosion" scroll for that "white light".

Has Ilya finally accepted the fact that she's a bombshell?

This could be considered a minor mistake on her part... but it doesn't matter, as long as she won in the end. It's not like she's the one who has to be the hero, so let her be questioned.

Anyway, she's going to give up the hero's position to Lance... She can't be a demon hero, can she?

Please, don't mess with her. She still needs to go back to the Demon Realm.

So after the match, Chloe immediately talked to Lulu about the next steps and the "test".

"You mean, after this selection process is over, you're going back to your hometown..."

When Chloe told her that she planned to go back after the Hero Selection ended, Lulu responded in this way.

However, before Lulu could finish speaking, Chloe interrupted her:

"Don't try to set me up! My initial purpose in coming to you was to have you take me back, wasn't it? It's only been less than a day, don't tell me you've forgotten!"

"Ah... I remember now..." Lulu said in a tone of "sudden realization" after hearing Chloe's words, as if she had really forgotten why Chloe came to find her.

This left Chloe completely bewildered... Chloe didn't know how to retort to her for a moment.

Alzheimer's disease?

"...Let's talk about that final 'test'. Have you asked about it?"

Not knowing how to complain, Chloe directly asked Lulu Xin the key question.

However, Lulusin told Chloe that she had asked, but she still didn't understand what the "test" meant.

Furthermore, Lulu's acquaintance, seeing that Lulu didn't understand, didn't explain it clearly to her. Instead, Lulu kept him in suspense, and he simply said to her:
