The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Furthermore, this essentially gives her the means to counterbalance the "real hero," so what else could it be but a complete victory?

……

Although the entire Hero Selection process took Chloe somewhat unexpectedly, the final result was fortunately not bad.

Chloe's participation in this selection not only thwarted the Abyss Order's conspiracy, but also restored her identity and rights as a hero, and even "given" her a "real hero" as a substitute.

It's just that we don't know what new actions the Abyss Order will take after their plans are interrupted... But that's a problem for Lulu and Lance to worry about. She just wants to return to the Demon Realm as soon as this matter is over.

That was what Chloe originally thought... but what Chloe didn't expect was that the next day, after she finished the tedious "Hero Inheritance" ceremony, the people from the Abyss Order actually came to find her on their own initiative.

Or rather, it was that church elder who had a "deal" with the Abyss Order who invited Chloe to his place, saying he had something to discuss with her privately.

Looking at the two Abyss Order members following that church elder… Chloe, using Gil… oh, he no longer exists, even a fool could tell that there must be some conspiracy involved.

Originally, Chloe wanted to refuse all communication with the Abyss Order for safety reasons, but... Luluxin was right beside her, and the fact that they dared to come directly to her meant they didn't intend to "break ties" yet...

Chloe wanted to see what these guys from the Abyss Order were really up to...

Chapter 148 For Love and Peace...bullshit!

After she interrupted the Abyss Order's original plan, she felt that the Abyss Order's next actions might be a bit troublesome, so she didn't bother with it anymore and prepared to "take a taxi" and run away overnight.

But she didn't expect that the Abyss Order's next move would be to come directly to her, as if they wanted to communicate with her.

Since these guys from the Abyss Order don't seem to have any intention of breaking ties, Chloe might as well go and talk to them directly. At least there's a chance to get some information about the Abyss Order out of them.

Anyway, she was wearing the armor Luluxin had given her, and with Luluxin nearby, she really couldn't imagine what they could do to her.

After Chloe secretly told Luluxin about her thoughts, Luluxin agreed to let her "keep the appointment".

Lulu agreed decisively because she knew that the elder named Simmons had witnessed her strength, so he certainly wouldn't dare to make any underhanded moves in front of her.

This is confidence in one's strength.

In short, after the church elder named Simmons asked Chloe to "speak alone," Chloe thought for a while, said a few words to Luluxin beside her, and finally responded to him:

"Would you like to have a chat? I'll certainly give you face, Elder... but these two..."

Chloe tilted her head (helmet) toward the two members of the Abyss Order, as if staring at them.

Although he couldn't see Chloe's eyes, Simmons instantly understood what she meant.

"You've met these two before; they're contestants who participated in the selection process with you. To be honest, they actually have something they want to talk to you about, and I'm just 'introducing' them."

Simmons said with a smile, but he couldn't help but think more highly of Chloe for her "old hand" response.

At such a young age, she already knows such rhetoric, and her level is not low. Moreover, she has a close relationship with the "Holy Dragon"... This little girl is definitely not simple.

Simmons thought to himself. To be honest, if the Abyss Order hadn't offered him what he wanted, he wouldn't even want to…

"Oh? Then there's no problem. Please lead the way, Elder."

Without further ado, Chloe had Simmons show her the way.

……

It must be said that Simmons, as a senior member of the church, arranged the "exchange" location quite well.

This is a private room at the upscale restaurant that Chloe has been frequenting these past few days. Communicating in a place like this is a direct way of "catering to her tastes."

Of course, the main purpose of this trip wasn't to eat, but to exchange some information...

What they wanted to say to Chloe was actually quite simple. They talked for a long time, exchanged a lot of pleasantries, and finally, the key points could be summarized in just a few sentences.

Surprisingly, the members of the human cult are quite rational... unlike the several waves she encountered from the demon race... whose actions were incredibly baffling.

After listening to what the Abyss Cult member named Chris had said to her, Chloe couldn't help but think of something.

As for what that guy named Chris said to her?

Simply put, it's about inviting Chloe to join the Abyss Order...

They invited "brave souls" to join this "mysterious organization," though there were certainly some persuasive words attached.

For example, they might say that they are "guardians hidden in the shadows of the world," that the cult's secret techniques are invincible, and that the demon race is extremely wicked and must be eliminated for the sake of world love and peace.

If Chloe weren't now a demon and didn't know exactly what kind of insane organization the Abyss Cult was, she might have actually believed it.

After all, the "cult" they talk about sounds impressive to those who don't know the inside story, after hearing their "recommendation".

Furthermore, the fact that this "cult" had church elders "introducing" them instantly boosted their credibility.

But Chloe, who knew the inside story, said—Bullshit!

Aside from their claim that the cult possesses invincible secret techniques, which is debatable, everything else is nonsense!

Your crappy cult is nothing but a bunch of "guardians hidden in the shadows of the world," it's more like "stirring up a pile of shit in the toilet"... How did you even come up with such a cringeworthy setting?

Then there's the idea that the demon race is extremely wicked... This is indeed the case in the eyes of the human race. After all, the human and demon races have been at war for so many years that they can be said to be irreconcilable enemies, so it's normal to say that.

But what the heck is "for love and peace"? Is it appropriate for you guys who want to start a war to say such things?

And what if she didn't know that there were demons in the Abyss Order? When the time comes, will the Abyss Order on the demon side also tell her that "humans are guilty of heinous crimes"?

It's so funny...

But jokes aside, getting Chloe into the group is absolutely out of the question.

So Chloe brushed off Chris's "invitation to join the group".

Seeing that Chloe still refused to join the Abyss Order, Chris feigned a sigh, then gave up on his "persuasion" and revealed their true purpose:

"Since the new hero doesn't want to register as a member of our order, we won't force him. However, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you will grant it... that is, could you allow our people to join your party?"

That's right, that's Chris's real purpose: to get the members of the Abyss Order into the hero's team, making them members of the hero's group, so that they can subtly influence this new hero.

Chloe finally agreed to let Chris join the Hero Squad.

As for why Chloe agreed? She couldn't guess that the Abyss Order members joining the Hero's Party were up to no good.

Of course not!

Regarding this issue, Chloe said there was absolutely no need to worry. After all, Lance would be the one to deal with them, so what did it have to do with her, the "hands-off manager"?

Okay... to be serious, actually, compared to the underhanded tactics of the Abyss Order, this kind of "open strategy" makes things easier to control.

After all, there is still an information gap between the two sides... They have no idea that the "new hero" and the "holy dragon" know what the Abyss Order is.

As long as the Abyss Cult causes trouble "right under their noses," the Demon Clan will be able to obtain top-secret information about the Abyss Cult.

Therefore, agreeing to let members of the Abyss Order join the Hero's Party is a choice where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

In short, everything is going according to Chloe's plan...

However, the person sent by the Abyss Order to join the Hero's Squad surprised Chloe somewhat.

So that's what they were planning? Chloe, having guessed what was going on, couldn't help but feel a little...stomach ache.

Chapter 149 The Handsome Man Scheme? Real Torture!

Chloe had assumed that Chris would be the one to join the Hero's Squad.

After all, this guy named Chris is addressed as "Sir" by other members of the Abyss Order, so he must be some kind of junior officer in the Abyss Order.

Moreover, he was the one who originally wanted to seize the title of Hero... If he joins the Hero's team, it's equivalent to him becoming half a Hero.

Chloe originally guessed that if Chris joined the Hero Squad, as the first member of the "New Hero Squad," he would gain considerable influence within the squad.

From Chris's perspective, she was just a little girl who didn't understand the Abyss Cult's schemes. If Chris did a little manipulation, he could probably gradually sideline her without her knowledge, or at least take the right to start a war from her.

But to Chloe's utter surprise, her interpretation of Chris's thoughts was still far too conservative.

It could even be said that they underestimated the Abyss Order's "appetite".

They not only wanted to immediately gain the rights of a hero, but also wanted to "devour" her entirely.

Why did Chloe say that?

That's because Chris actually sent a special subordinate to join the "New Hero Squad".

This newcomer is an elven boy...

And he's a beautiful boy... If Chloe hadn't immediately given him a psychiatric evaluation, she wouldn't have been able to tell he was a boy... the kind of beautiful boy commonly known as a cross-dresser.

Moreover, when he introduced himself, he deliberately didn't mention his gender, and even immediately shook Chloe's hand... and expressed his desire to be good friends with Chloe.

He wanted Chloe to mistake him for a girl, but he wasn't lying.

Honestly, for such an extreme cross-dresser to try and get close to Chloe in this way gave Chloe goosebumps even through her armor.

In an instant, no fewer than ten doujinshi plots flashed through her mind... things like leipu, e-corruption and BDSM... It wasn't that Chloe was too wicked, but she had no choice but to think this way... After all, this was indeed a way to directly seize her power.

Moreover, that cross-dresser, from the moment he met Chloe, kept making explicit and implicit attempts to get closer to her. Seeing him like that, it was hard for Chloe not to think in that direction.

Honestly, if Chloe wasn't completely covered up in heavy armor, he might have tried to take advantage of her... How disgusting.

But...have they forgotten that I'm just a little girl?

This is real torture!

As expected of the Abyss Order, they actually resorted to using their charm to seduce such a young girl, and they were even capable of such cruel torture...

Should she agree to let him join the "New Hero Squad"? Having someone with "ulterior motives" around... just thinking about it makes her a little uncomfortable. But if she refuses, she'll have to completely break ties with the Abyss Order... and then all sorts of schemes and plots will come her way...

Chloe felt exhausted just thinking about it, which is why she had an egg...and a stomachache.

But she only felt pain for a short while before she remembered something important... She was going to be a "hands-off boss," so the person interacting with this cross-dresser wasn't herself, but Lance, who was acting as her "stand-in"!

After a whole day of the "Hero Succession Ceremony," Chloe said she was a little numb and had almost forgotten that she wouldn't actually be the hero herself in most situations... Well, that makes things easier!

Yes, Chloe certainly agreed to let that elf crossdresser named "Lin Jingshu" join her "new hero team".

Lance is male, and that cross-dresser is also male...wouldn't they have a lot of fun together?

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

Things suddenly got interesting...

……

Although Chloe eventually agreed to let the cross-dresser named Lin Jingshu join her team, she still didn't agree to let him go with her directly.

Or rather, the guy named Lin Jingshu originally wanted to go with her, but Chloe persuaded him to give up because "she's currently staying at the church."

The guys from the Abyss Order, after realizing that Chloe should be with "Lord Holy Dragon" now, seemed to understand what it meant to "not be too hasty," and so they also made Lin Jingshu retreat temporarily.

Chloe made an appointment with Lin Jingshu to find a "team base" in the capital another day, and then left with Lulu Xin.

Anyway, after today, Lance will act as her proxy for the new hero, and the task of following Lin Jingshu will be handed over to him.

Chloe plans to talk to Luluxin about "returning to the Demon Realm"... Anyway, Chloe plans to slip away today.

The details can be discussed back at Lulu's place... After all, what they need to talk about concerns the loss of their "true identities," and they'd feel more at ease discussing it on their own turf...

However, Chloe and Lulu were not in a hurry for those ten minutes. In addition, Chloe was preparing to return to the Demon Realm and wanted to buy some "souvenirs" to take back. So Chloe and Lulu strolled slowly back to their residence while shopping.

As soon as Chloe started shopping, she bumped into someone she knew... she actually ran into Elena on the street...

She's Elena, the holy maiden who was secretly hunted down by the church's higher-ups, the one whose life she had saved before.

It seems that the high-ranking church official connected to the "Abyss Order" won't do anything to her... I just wonder how Eustia will resolve this issue.

It's important to understand that Elena didn't just stumble upon a deal between a high-ranking member of the church and the Abyss Order; more importantly, that guy from the Abyss Order was a demon.

Seeing Elena openly buying things on the street, acting as if nothing was wrong, Chloe curiously walked over to Elena and greeted her.

"Hey! Isn't this Elena? Has your injury fully healed?"

"May I ask you are……"

Elena responded somewhat bewildered to Chloe's sudden greeting, calling her "the paladin."

How did she know I was injured before? This was the question in Elena's mind.

After hearing Elena's words, Chloe realized that it was normal for Elena not to recognize her, since she was wearing a 1.7-meter-tall heavy armor and a helmet.

Chloe then took off her helmet, smiled, and said to Elena, "It's me! You haven't forgotten me in a few days, have you?"

"Excuse me...have we met somewhere before?"

"?"

Huh? You really forgot?
