◎The full power of the former demon king◎
After the aggrieved little dragon left the Demon King's Palace, Warren picked up the Demon King's Crown and tapped it repeatedly with his fingertips. However, no matter how he called the system, the Demon King's Crown did not respond at all, as if the light at that moment was just Warren's illusion.
It wasn't until the next day, when Warren was standing on the podium in Magma Square, preparing to give a speech about the Hundred Demons Carnival, that the system finally appeared.
——Combined with what happened afterwards, it was such a coincidence that Warren couldn't help but wonder if the system had already calculated the time.
As the first large-scale celebration after the Demon Feast, Warren put a lot of effort into the planning of this Hundred Demons Carnival, holding the carnival and the commendation meeting together, and even arranging for a construction team to expand the size of the Lava Square to accommodate the demons pouring into the square.
This is not only a carnival, but also a great way to enhance the cohesion of the demons. Moreover, the location of the celebration is close to the lava lake, which can allow the Dark Undead Mushroom to absorb enough power of faith and expand the network signal to Baiyu City as soon as possible.
Of course, the demons were also so excited that they danced with joy. They began preparing their costumes long in advance. On the morning of the carnival, they could not wait to rush into the Lava Square, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the King.
"Has the king lost weight?" The winged demon York was flying in the air. His keen vision allowed him to be the first to see the demon king approaching from a distance. He couldn't help but blink and asked.
In the Demon Realm, being thin is not a good thing. It means not having enough food, insufficient energy, or even more serious injuries or illnesses.
The demons nearby glared at York. They were about to say that the king would never lose weight, but when they stood on tiptoe to look over, they saw the demon king's slightly tired figure, and they all became uneasy at once.
...
...
"Is the king too tired?" The goblin Xili was worried. "Just think about it, he has to take care of the lives of hundreds of thousands of demons, and the royal city doesn't even have a defense formation. For such a long time, there hasn't been any beast tide or other attacks. We have to rely on the king to protect us. He must be very busy."
"There is also the Dark Undying Mushroom," the Dark Iron Dwarf Tiechui held his tail sadly, "That is a species of the sacred tree of life of the natural elves. It has never appeared before. I think the king must have gone through a lot of trouble to get it."
"You mean," the goblin Xili took a breath, "the king broke through that barrier and went to the natural elves outside the Demon Realm to steal their tree seeds, just so that we can happily surf the Internet?"
Tiechui was stunned for a moment and was about to say that he didn't mean that, but after two seconds he suddenly realized that this was not impossible!
Otherwise, why has there never been such a thing as the Tree of Life in the Demon Realm, but it was just suddenly taken out by our own king without any warning!
Besides, Tiechui had long felt that the king might have some connection with the outside of the Demon Realm. For example, when he first met the king, the chocolate he took out did not have any magical fluctuations on it, and it was obviously not a native food of the Demon Realm.
He instantly became anxious: "Could it be that the king was injured in the battle with the natural elves?"
The demons who were listening to Tiechui and Xili's conversation nearby were startled and became extremely nervous.
In the past, the demons in the Demon Realm knew very little about that barrier. However, after coming to the Demon King's Palace, they interacted with the fallen angels, vampires and other races every day, and received universal education at the Demon King's Palace. Everyone basically knew about the past failures of the demons in battles with the gods and other races. Naturally, the meaning of that barrier was no longer a secret.
Then all the demons became worried and discussed with each other how they could reduce the burden on the king.
Not knowing what the demons were thinking, Warren calmly walked up to the podium.
He looked a little tired. He had been awake the whole night yesterday, trying to get in touch with the system. He had indeed lost some weight. After all, he had been staying in the teahouse a lot recently, drinking too much lava bubble tea and had not eaten properly.
Although the demons were all worriedly discussing whether the Demon King was sick because he worked too hard for them, when Warren stood on the podium, all the demons shut their mouths and waited for their king's speech.
Warren, who had already written the manuscript in advance, was about to speak when he paused and a familiar system pop-up window appeared in front of him.
[Loading...]
[Card Drawing System 3.0, hello to the host.]
[Please receive the upgrade gift package: Magic Crystal X15]
[Please receive the delayed online compensation package: Magic Crystal X5]
He was delighted and quickly asked in his mind: "System, are you okay?"
The system had promised him that he would be back in a month, but now it has been four months.
[I am fine. ]
The system said this reservedly, with a hint of pleasure in its mechanical voice.
[I thought it was just a normal upgrade, but I also caught a disgusting mouse hiding here and there, so I came back late.]
Judging from the indifferent attitude of the system that was extremely happy, Warren felt relieved. "That's great. I'll talk to you after I finish my speech."
He curled the corners of his lips happily, cleared his throat, picked up the microphone with amplification magic, and told the demons about the construction process of the royal city from scratch, and looked forward to the bright and broad future of the demon realm.
When the speech was over, the demons all had tears in their eyes and clapped vigorously while sobbing.
Warren tilted his head, not understanding what was so moving about his speech that made everyone cry. But he didn't dwell on it, waved his hand, sat on the throne behind the podium, and watched the Demon King's Palace's innovative demon talent recognition ceremony.
Warren used to be very cautious. Whether communicating with the system or drawing cards, he would choose to do it alone. But after all, he hadn't seen the system for four months. In addition, he was not wary of the demons. As soon as he sat on the throne, he knocked on the Demon King's crown with his fingers: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
The system quickly returned to its usual cold attitude and ignored the question of whether he was injured. The Demon King's Crown flashed, and a semi-transparent interface popped up in front of Warren that only Warren could see.
[Dark Cuisine/Hidden Mission, Completed, Rewards: Magic Crystal X10, Key to Open Mysterious Card Pool X1]
[Task evaluation: Can the electronic cuisine be considered as having a strange taste? Anyway, the ingredients are indeed incredible.]
[No Obstacles/Ordinary Mission 01, Completed, Reward: Magic Crystal X10]
[Task Evaluation: How did this group of demons with only elementary school educations make a mobile game?]
After completing two tasks in succession, plus the compensation reward from the system upgrade, the number of magic crystals Warren currently possessed instantly became 42, enough to support four card draws.
For Warren, who usually draws directly after saving up ten magic crystals, this is a huge sum of money.
[Do you want to open a new card pool?]
The system asked, paused, and added another sentence.
[All effects have been set to be visible only to the host.]
Warren hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was meaningless for him to sit here and listen to Tiechui talk about the various innovative contributions made by the demons, so he nodded, maintained a perfect smile, and communicated with the system in his mind: "Open a new card pool."
Perhaps taking into account that Warren was currently sitting on the throne in full view of everyone, the noise of opening the new card pool this time was much smaller than last time. The original book disappeared in mid-air, and a thick black slab of stone appeared. The mottled scratches on the slab were stained with blood, which was quite eerie and terrifying.
[Special card pool: Rat in the gutter, now open.]
[The number of magic crystals detected: 42, which can be exchanged for four card drawing opportunities.]
[Do you want to draw a card immediately?]
Warren was confused by the name of this card pool. He couldn't help but disdain it before he even started drawing cards: "Gutter rat? I'm not going to draw something like a gnawed fish bone, am I?"
The system ignored him.
Warren was used to the system's silence, and because he hadn't been ignored by the system for a long time, he was inexplicably touched. He thought about it, and decided to draw a card first for the sake of caution, and then decide whether to continue drawing cards in this card pool depending on the situation.
The stone slab shook slightly, like a reflection on the water, and countless cards slowly emerged. After a moment, one of the white cards broke through the water and floated in front of Warren. Considering the current environment, it did not turn into a physical entity, but maintained its virtual state.
[All the magic power of the former demon king
Quality R
Type Gutter Rat Exclusive Card
Use: Activate this card to gain all the magic power of the former Demon King.]
There was no comment on this card, but Warren was stunned. He was so shocked that his originally formulaic smile became a little distorted. Lille, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but bend down and ask, "My king, if you are tired, go back and rest."
"It's alright," Warren waved his hands absentmindedly, and frantically poked at the system in his mind, "What's going on? All the magic power of the previous demon king? Is this something that can be drawn? And why is the quality only R? Even the chocolate is SSR!"
[…Do you think chocolate is not worthy of an SSR?]
Warren choked subtly: "That's really worthy of SSR."
Looking at the R card in front of him, he had an unreal feeling as if he had won the jackpot. After thinking about it, he decided that it would be prudent to put it away first and activate it after returning to the Demon King's Palace.
However, before he could move, Lille behind him lowered his head and filled the cup on the armrest of the throne with lava bubble tea. While moving, his wrist inadvertently touched the pop-up window floating in the air.
[The card has been activated.]
Warren was shocked.
Wait, why can the unconscious touch of other demons also activate the card?
He was too late to yell this question to the system. He could only watch as the card in front of him turned into a deep red fluorescence and sank directly into his body.
Then his eyes went dark and he suddenly fell to the ground.
Before he lost consciousness, he heard a crying scream from some demon.
"Your Majesty!"
