Chapter 633 Demons and the Demon King
"Hmm... I see. It's exactly what I thought."
After searching for the soul of this great demon, Li Qi had a general understanding of the situation of this world.
Just as he imagined, this world is a fantasy world where demon kings and heroes exist.
The devil has four heavenly kings and many monsters under his command, and the brave has a team consisting of saints, magicians, assassins, shield warriors, etc. under his command.
According to the normal plot, the hero, with the help of the team, defeated the demon king with great difficulty and restored peace to the world.
but……
Now this is an abnormal plot.
The hero was falsely accused by humans and thrown into prison. When the Demon King got wind of this, he took the opportunity to capture the capital of the kingdom.
And because they lost the hold of the brave men, the Demon King's army attacked cities everywhere. In less than a month, most of the world had fallen.
At this point, no matter how stupid the humans were, they could not continue to imprison the hero. They could only let him leave.
But it's too late.
With the help of the human insiders, the Demon King's army easily captured the royal capital. The brave man fought against the [Great Demon] of the Four Heavenly Kings, but ultimately lost the battle due to poor rest for many days and the Great Demon's super strong recovery ability.
The brave man was killed, and the saint had no choice but to transfer all the humans in the royal city to the holy city of the church.
However, this kind of magic that can transfer the entire city is taboo and requires a huge amount of magic power. Even if the saint is one of the rare chosen ones by God, she has to burn her own vitality.
Now that's better.
With the death of both the brave hero and the holy maiden, the Demon King's army can act even more recklessly.
Now, one day has passed since the two men died, and the Demon King's army is searching for those in the city who were unable to evacuate in time.
For example, there were some civilians who did not gather near the palace at that time, and some nobles who believed in their own defensive magic and were unwilling to believe in the brave man and the saint.
The person that Li Qi is possessed by now should be one of these stupid nobles...
Li Qi originally wanted to think so, but after looking at the situation at the scene, he felt that this was not the case.
After all, except for Li Qi, the clothes worn by the other humans who died at the scene were very simple. They did not look like nobles, but more like servants.
The only one who can barely be called a noble here is Li Qi.
“Has he been left behind…? Hmm…”
Li Qi glanced at the bodies on the ground.
Through the unlucky demon, Li Qi had a certain understanding of the situation of the demon clan.
But the situation on the human side... the Great Demon doesn't know much about it, and Li Qi also knows very little about the situation of the human race.
So Li Qi was not very clear about the condition of his current body.
Looking at the knights, they seemed to hate him? Could they be bad guys?
Li Qi didn't care whether the person he traveled through was a bad person or not. What did the original person do to him anyway? He was just worried that there would be some misunderstandings because of his current appearance.
"Well, it seems that there is no need for me to go to the human side, right?"
Li Qi changed his mind and thought again.
The reason why he subconsciously wanted to meet up with the human headquarters was because Li Qi himself was a human being and would naturally choose a place with many people.
But now that I think about it carefully, Li Qi is indeed a human being, but he is not a human being of this world.
He came to this world with only one purpose, to improve his soul power, increase his strength, and reach the ninth level as soon as possible.
If he was born and raised in this world according to the routine, he would definitely be close to the human side.
As for now... since the demon clan is so powerful and has a tendency to unify the world, why should Li Qi make himself uncomfortable?
On one side is the difficult difficulty, and on the other side is the easy difficulty. It is clear at a glance which one to choose.
After all, apart from these knights, he had never seen any other humans! "He...he killed Lord Kux!!"
"How... How is it possible! Lord Kux... Even the heroes were defeated by him! How could he be defeated by a nobody..."
"Revenge for Lord Kux!!!"
Li Qi seems to have a lot of ideas, but he actually spends very little time thinking.
When he finished thinking, the small monsters brought by the big demon finally reacted, howling angrily and rushing towards Li Qi.
The monsters are not very intelligent. When led by a powerful individual, they will only obey the orders of that powerful individual.
If the powerful individual dies, they will first choose to avenge their leader. When they are unable to win and only one-fifth or even less of the people are left, they will choose to escape.
This is also the reason why the Demon King's army is invincible among humans.
It’s just… a bunch of small fry are still small fry together. Even Cooks died at the hands of Li Qi. Why do they think they can defeat Li Qi?
Facing the monsters rushing towards him from everywhere in the sky and on the ground, Li Qi stood still, gently shaking his fingers, and his [Invisible] mind moved as his heart moved, forming a simple thin line. With just a slight shake, most of the vanguard army of monsters were wiped out!
The pungent smell of blood and other flavors suddenly filled the air. With Li Qi as the center, the area within a radius of two meters was relatively clean, but outside this circle... there was blood all over the place!
Blood and flesh formed a bloody rain and fell from the sky.
They covered the entire ground, covering all the human corpses on the ground, adding a touch of monster "embellishment" to this city, which had already become a city of blood.
Li Qi's expression did not change when he did all this.
Strictly speaking, using soul power arrays to travel through small worlds is actually similar to using a game engine.
Li Qi has no sense of reality in this world, nor a sense of belonging, and he does not have empathy or sympathy for monsters.
Therefore, he acted without mercy.
The place centered on him turned into a meat grinder. This time, even the monsters knew that the man in front of them was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
They want to escape.
Li Qi did not stop them from escaping, but just focused his attention on one of the monsters.
Yes, that's a person.
That was a human who started running away immediately after Li Qi killed Kux.
He did not charge along with the group of monsters, nor did he turn around and run immediately. He just waited until all the monsters were dead before slowly retreating.
He thought his behavior was not obvious, but in fact, Li Qi, whose soul power had gradually adapted to the world and covered the entire city with his mental power, saw his peculiarity at a glance and paid attention to him.
So all his actions were so conspicuous in front of Li Qi.
"Where do you want to go?"
He took a step forward, and came to the man's side as if to shrink the distance, and put his hand on his shoulder.
Li Qi's original intention was to scare him and then ask him about the situation in the human world.
The soul-searching technique itself is still too cruel. Li Qi just used it for the first time, and he was frightened by the miserable appearance of the big demon, so it is better not to use this ability if possible.
There is no need to use soul-searching techniques for things that can be revealed by asking.
And Li Qi did need a servant.
He thought so and was prepared to torture the other party.
Who knew that as soon as he put his hand on it, the man turned around decisively and knelt on the ground, prostrating himself on the ground, and said loudly and fanatically:
"Ah!! God... You are the God of Death!! I... I have gone astray, your humble believer!! Lord God of Death, please give me, your humble believer... a chance to serve you!"
As he spoke, he bent down to kiss Li Qi's boots.
He didn't care how much dirt and blood was on it.
Such shameless, bottom-line-less and dignity-less behavior really shocked Li Qi.
He couldn't even stop the other person from kissing the tip of his shoe!
After being stunned for a few seconds, Li Qi finally reacted. He kicked the man to the ground and said coldly: "Don't act crazy or stupid. Now, I ask, you answer. If you dare to hide anything..."
"God! How dare I hide anything from you!"
The man raised his head, like a fanatic with true faith.
Li Qi couldn't help but fall silent when he saw his expression.
Soul power and consciousness power have something in common, such as the ability to perceive human emotions.
And now Li Qi felt that the other party... seemed to be serious? Well... it doesn't matter, it's just a question anyway.
It was a good thing that the other party was willing to cooperate. Li Qi had no scruples at the moment and began to ask about the human side.
…
"…Kukes is dead?"
Inside the Demon King's Palace, a woman wearing revealing clothes, with horns on her forehead and a heart-shaped tail behind her...could not help but frown after listening to her companion's report.
From her appearance, it can be seen that this is a succubus.
She is also the succubus queen of this world, her name is Pelume.
The person who reported to her was the [Demon Sage] among the Four Heavenly Kings, who was also the military commander of the Demon King's army. He was the one who planned the internal unrest of mankind.
But now, he, who was always calm and composed as if everything was under control, had an extremely solemn and puzzled expression.
He said: "Kux died very quickly, along with his army, before any news could get out... This should be impossible. It is impossible for humans to have such a strong person except the brave one! And the brave one is already dead!"
"Calm down, sage. I will go to the Demon King for instructions. Before the Demon King issues his orders, you should stick to your original plan for now."
"What about the side that Kux is in charge of...?" the sage asked.
Perlum thought for a moment and responded, "Give up for now. The man who was able to kill Kukes in an instant and prevent him from sending any messages back should be at the same level as His Majesty. There is no need for us to provoke him for now."
"I see."
The sage understood something, nodded, and turned away.
After watching the sage leave, Pellum turned around and walked into the palace. She came to the Demon King's palace and half-knelt down in front of the man who was sitting on the throne in the empty palace.
On the throne, a tall, black-haired man who looked no different from a human otherwise was resting his chin on his hand with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep.
But facing this seemingly lazy man, Pellum, who was once the queen, did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.
Because the person on the throne is the one who is currently leading the demons to conquer the world and is the recognized leader of the entire demon race.
His Majesty, the Demon King of the current demon clan.
