Chapter 1719: Other Battlefields
At the edge of Demon King City.
Each S-Class adventure group is locked in a grueling battle with the Evil Dragon’s offspring.
Every Evil Dragon’s offspring possesses extraordinary strength; with one misstep, the entire team could be annihilated.
The [Dragon God’s Might] has divided the battlefield, but the Evil Dragon’s offspring won’t obediently fight the assigned teams.
They roar and snarl, launching attack after attack. Their rampant energy tears at the edge of Demon King City, reducing it to flat ground.
Numerous construction modules, once part of Demon King City, now float adrift on turbulent waves.
To defeat the Evil Dragon’s offspring in front of them, these S-Class adventure groups will still need a long time.
If no one comes to their aid, some S-Class adventure groups might battle the Evil Dragon’s offspring for days and nights.
While the S-Class adventure groups are in a deadlock, the battle between Sol Rott and Lutrola Doron reveals clear strengths and weaknesses.
Lutrola Doron was a former member of the Demon King Four Heavenly Kings and once established a flourishing Empire, creating the terrifying legend of the Goblin Emperor that made half the world tremble.
And Sol Rott was among the last batch of Luca Believers from that era.
When countless people chose to abandon Luka Teachings and fight for themselves, he continued to fight alongside those who shared his ideals, hoping to bring humanity back to that era.
Sol Rott continually honed himself, leading his forces to win one incredible battle after another.
With Sol Rott’s strength, had he sided with another power, he would have long become an eminent Grand General.
But he chose to remain within the organization, a part of the army, risking his life for his ideals.
What determines a person’s strength is not the exaggerated titles they hold, the achievements they’ve made, or the legends they’ve left behind.
It’s just that most people with such titles, achievements, and legends coincidentally have extraordinary strength, thus these things gradually become symbols.
If one only pursues superficial things without seeing what truly matters, they may wear their honor like a clown’s outfit, becoming a laughingstock.
Through violent means, Goblin Emperor Lutrola Doron proved her unparalleled strength by conquering half the world.
Sol Rott had no need to prove his own strength.
Honor, wealth, or anything else, held no importance to him.
To this day, he still holds onto his original ideals.
Even though the world has turned upside down, with land and sea transformed, as long as there are people like Yang Yu, Sol Rott believes that what he believes in will never disappear.
Sunlight pierces through the black clouds, lighting up the dark scales in radiant glory, as Sol Rott lifts his body and looks down at the bloodied giant dragon in front of him.
Enormous claws stir up dust as Lutrola Doron stubbornly rises.
In their clash, Lutrola Doron feels that Sol Rott’s strength isn’t far different from hers, but shortly after their battle commenced, she found herself at a disadvantage.
Lutrola Doron couldn’t understand why it turned out this way.
Just when Lutrola Doron stood up, Sol Rott opened his massive jaws, releasing a black Dragon Breath that engulfed her body.
Rapidly beating her wings, Lutrola Doron burst out of the black Dragon Breath and soared into the sky.
Sol Rott also quickly flapped his wings, rising into the air.
The two giant dragons engaged in fierce combat once more in the midair.
Lutrola Doron had attempted to make contact with Sol Rott, trying to persuade him to abandon the fight and join their side.
The intense magical fluctuations in the distance surely indicated that Lux had succeeded, having gained formidable power. No matter how much they struggle, it would be futile, so why not switch sides early?
Unfortunately, Sol Rott dismissed these words as mere noise.
Sol Rott stated that whatever this thing called "Lux" was, it had nothing to do with him; his sole purpose for coming here was the Evil Dragon.
Lutrola Doron was utterly speechless, silently praying for Lux to notice the situation here quickly and offer her assistance, as much longer would mean losing too many adored children.
At the center of Demon King City.
Yongfang Chunlan could observe the fierce battle between the two giant dragons.
Black Diamond Lorne flew in the air, gasping for breath, as the speed of his controlling steel creation slowed down significantly.
Since earlier, he had felt extremely uneasy, trying to contact the Deceitful Emperor repeatedly, but never getting a response.
The Deceit Fog surrounding the center of Demon King City had completely dissipated, and Black Diamond Lorne could clearly sense that the aura of the Deceitful Emperor had utterly vanished.
Despite not wanting to accept this truth, the Lord Demon King who led them into this world might have already...
The aura of the Deceitful Emperor had vanished entirely, but a more powerful presence emerged at the center of Demon King City.
Even without thinking, it was clear that the Hero had taken on the Devil King’s Power and become the new Demon King.
Black Diamond Lorne harbored a myriad of doubts, primarily questioning the necessity of continuing to fight.
As if reading Black Diamond Lorne’s mind, Yongfang Chunlan spoke up:
"You no longer have the purpose to continue fighting.
The old Demon King is gone, and a new Demon King has been born.
The Hero’s ability to defeat the Demon King and become the new Demon King indicates he’s far superior to the old Demon King.
There’s no need for us to continue fighting.
Your strength is extraordinary, and I’m keenly aware of it.
That’s why I chose to transfer you instead of confronting you directly.
You must have suffered greatly at their hands, tormented terribly.
Even if you exhaust all your strength now, you won’t be my match, so don’t waste your efforts any further.
You can choose to join us, or you can choose to lead your team away and return to the Demon World.
No matter what you choose, the final result won’t change.
You will surely swear loyalty and offer your heart to him who becomes the Supreme Demon King."
Black Diamond Lorne paused in midair, contemplating for a long time, thinking deeply before finally making his choice:
"I have always deeply admired the Demon King of the past.
I used to think that it didn’t matter who the Demon King was as long as they could embrace my ideals.
But now, I realize I was wrong.
I cannot deceive my feelings.
Perhaps we really have lost, perhaps that Hero truly will become a great Demon King.
But none of this matters to me anymore.
Because he was the Demon King, I chose to stay by his side.
If the Demon King isn’t him, it all loses meaning.
The fight remaining here holds no meaning either.
One thing, I want to remind you.
It’s too early to draw conclusions—whether he can become the new Demon King isn’t for you alone to decide.
Underestimating the Goddess’ Apostle might lead to suffering."
