Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

This is the reason to spare my life?

If I refuse, there’s a high chance I’ll die under their slaughtering blades...

Even though I was ready to die when captured, Yang Yu’s words just now made Black Diamond Lorne extremely concerned.

If what Yang Yu says is true, the current hero isn’t a hero of this era but an ancient hero...

The Hero Lox, who once defeated the Demon King and destroyed the Demon King City, must be extraordinarily powerful, and those seemingly reckless actions must conceal some unspeakable secrets.

Black Diamond Lorne doesn’t think the Deceitful Emperor will lose, but if Hero Lox really brings out some secret weapon, it’s hard to say...

Raising a withered hand to hold his head, Black Diamond Lorne snickered, clearly deciding that regardless of what Yang Yu said, he would no longer believe it.

However, Yang Yu’s words seemed to contain a special magic, causing a subtle unease in his heart.

"Since you’ve put it that way.

I’ll ask the Demon King for his opinion for you."

Black Diamond Lorne compressed the information he learned from Yang Yu and the others and sent it to the Demon King.

This was not a request for advice, just a simple compressed message sent with the purpose of reminding the Demon King to be fully prepared for the arrival of the hero.

Yang Yu said, they do the same.

If Yang Yu is sent over just like this, he might very well become the fisherman in the fight between the snipe and the clam.

Now, he can only believe that the Demon King possesses the strength to deal with the ancient hero Lox, able to handle everything.

Yang Yu didn’t say anything, just stood quietly in place, waiting for Black Diamond Lorne’s response.

Bai Jin, who manipulated magic, had long since noticed that Black Diamond Lorne was just sending compressed messages unilaterally, and she immediately used telepathy to contact Yang Yu, telling him what she knew.

Yang Yu didn’t let Bai Jin publicly expose Black Diamond Lorne but instructed her to wait silently to see if there would be any response.

Black Diamond Lorne, originally resolved to die, sent this message with a testament-like nature, but the attack he envisioned did not arrive.

Yang Yu and the others showed no anger, their expressions unchanged, nor did they launch an attack, just calmly standing by and waiting quietly.

The Deceitful Emperor’s message came from afar; Black Diamond Lorne read it, frowning slightly.

"Since they want to come over, then let them come over.

We will inevitably face them sooner or later; avoidance doesn’t solve anything.

The hero’s little boat is getting close to the Demon King City, which we’ve separated.

I can feel the unique aura emanating from this hero this time.

He has completely absorbed the Power of the Brave.

If what those goddess’ apostles say is true, those guys want to completely kill me and seize the Devil King’s Power...

Don’t worry.

I can sense from that hero’s aura some nostalgic atmosphere.

It’s the aura of revenge."

"Revenge?"

"The target of revenge is not me. But I am the one who must be defeated on his path of revenge."

The Deceitful Emperor said firmly,

"That’s all I’ll say for now; he will come soon, and I am already fully prepared.

According to what I said, set the conditions, if they can accept those conditions, bring them here.

Let me hear what new perspectives they have on the past!

If I’ve been played, I’ll make sure they won’t have a burial place."

The Deceitful Emperor’s voice had a sense of steadiness and maturity, and what Yang Yu and the others are doing now is akin to a lamb entering a tiger’s den.

But, it might also be that one is inviting trouble.

The Deceitful Emperor watched the foggy sea through a monitoring screen, countless memories flashing in his mind.

If... if this man in front of him truly harbors ideals identical to his own, only with slight differences in a few areas...

The Deceitful Emperor might fight him to the death.

The Deceitful Emperor would never casually hand over power to someone weaker than himself.

Black Diamond Lorne couldn’t believe that the Deceitful Emperor had made such a decision.

"...Not wanting us to sacrifice?

No, that’s absolutely impossible.

He told me in the past, as long as he could complete the final mission, he’d be willing to give up even his own life.

How could he be unwilling to let us sacrifice?"

Black Diamond Lorne took deep, heavy breaths, trying to calm himself, then glared fiercely at Yang Yu in front of him:

"Lord Demon King has temporarily acknowledged you, if you can agree to the following conditions, sending you near the Demon King City isn’t impossible."

"Then specifically, let’s see what conditions you’ll propose; unreasonable terms, we’ll try our best to follow.

It’s just that I can’t adhere to certain rules under special circumstances.

If we have to break some rules, then at that time, try to stop us!"

Yang Yu smiled.

Black Diamond Lorne was nearly fuming, this was an outright taunt:

"No need for you to say. At that time, we’ll do exactly that.

I will make you regret stepping onto the Demon King City."

Yang Yu’s companions were dumbfounded, completely not understanding Yang Yu’s actions.

Just a moment ago, they were ready to fight enemies to the death, how could Yang Yu suddenly talk and laugh with him?

Yang Yu timely corrected his companions’ thoughts, the fact remains that they might have to fight enemies to the death with the Demon King’s faction, just that due to some matters, they have temporarily reached a surface-level reconciliation, initiating a ceasefire.

Despite Yang Yu’s carefree appearance, he has long been prepared to eradicate any future threats.

The last time he met the Demon King, Yang Yu saw the Deceitful Emperor’s persistence in certain areas, he believed that everything the goddess’ apostle said was unreliable, anything untrustworthy must be thoroughly cleansed to ensure safety.

The Deceitful Emperor, capable of leading all the Demon Clan, uniting them into one, ruling peacefully for over a hundred years, is a man of significant breadth.

Unfortunately, the obsession from ancient times is so deep, so deep.

A person’s personality can be influenced by memory.

If the person who created the Devil King’s Power harbored very intense subjective consciousness about certain matters, and those subjective consciousnesses are accumulated in the form of memory upon each Demon King, their personality might be influenced to a certain extent.

As long as he remains a goddess’ apostle, with no fundamental change in that fact, he will always be marked by the Demon King as untrustworthy.

The Demon King’s permission to ascend the Demon King City is probably merely a prelude to eliminate them altogether with the hero in the prepared home ground.

But now this plan must be adopted.

Perhaps, only in this way can it catch up with the battle between the Demon King and the hero.
