Chapter 269 The True Appearance of Slud (Part 1)

"Please." Richard spread his hands. Richard also wanted to see how Ymir would deal with Slud.

"Thank you..." Slud lowered his eyebrows. "Ymir, Rocky, I want to thank you. For me, you made the heart of Yggdelsilu beat again."

Ymir has now regained his composure and looked up at the Demon King: "Slud, don't get me wrong, I didn't give you this important secret treasure for you."

Ymir fiddled with the key in his hand, looked directly at the Demon King, and called the Demon King by his name. This had never happened before in previous audiences.

Since the relationship has already been torn apart, Ymir decided to add some more spice: "Slud, I will defeat you here, and I will become the new Demon King and create a new era! Old guys like you should keep up with the times, give up your position, and leave as soon as possible!"

"How dare you!" Srued did not respond, but Menya screamed loudly. Perhaps the tied-up Menya saw his own demon king, so his tone became tougher. "What nonsense! This world can only maintain the proper order of the empire under the leadership of the great demon king Srued! Only under the glory of His Majesty the Demon King can this world be truly peaceful!"

Imir looked at Menya with some amusement. Menya glared at him and continued, "If someone like you is allowed to sit on the throne, this world will only return to the era of warlords and bring chaos to this world again! Real power, great power, is only meaningful to the absolutely strong! A conspirator like you is not worthy at all!"

"Sister!" Fina pulled Menya, and Menya struggled hard.

"Let me go!"

Richard looked back at Menia. Was Menia really so loyal to Slud? Maybe she was afraid of the power and prestige she had just mentioned, just like the traditional demons of the demon clan. Maybe it was for her own status. Maybe after Ymir came to power, he would not let her stand in this position. But was Menia a chess piece that Slud could discard at any time? Only Srude knows this...

"How naive..." Ymir shrugged his shoulders at Menea. "With your level, you can only understand this. As her adjutant, you don't know Srude at all. You don't even know what Srude has been trying to do!"

"You! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Menea blushed and glared at Ymir, but Ymir just chuckled twice, no longer looking at Menea, but looking at Srude on the stage.

Srude still didn't respond. Ymir slowly walked to the steps of the stage, but the Demon King still didn't respond.

"Ymir!"

Menya still wanted to stop Ymir. Ymir stopped and sighed, saying, "Menya, you are so stupid. The great demon king in your heart has not considered the rule of the demon world. What he wants or what he wants to do now is to destroy everything!"

"What did you say?!" Menya's eyes widened, Rocky's pupils shrank, and several goddesses who Richard had a deep impression of also stared at Slud.

Ymir took two steps forward, turned his back to Richard and the others, and questioned Slud directly.

Slud didn't react at all, as if he had lost his life.

Ymir held the key in his hand and questioned: "You asked us to obtain the heart of Yggdrasil for this purpose. As long as the heart of Yggdrasil is used correctly, this piece of Mayfly Continent will fall, and then the human beings living on it will be extinct! Your real purpose will be achieved!"

"What...what!" Menia looked at Srud and couldn't believe this fact.

Richard glanced at Diluka, this was also what Diluka had been worried about.

Diluka saw Richard's gaze and said, "If humans become extinct, the goddess will lose the source of her power and will also perish with humans. Is this the Demon King's purpose? However, if this really happens, when the continent collapses, won't the demons below also suffer the same blow and be extinct? Isn't this a tactic of mutual destruction?"

Both the goddess and the demons feed on the faith of believers. Ymir had explained this before. The Demon King couldn't be unaware of this problem. At the same time, he couldn't be unaware that Yggdrasil was right above the Demon Continent. If it fell, the Demon Continent, which was about the same size as the Floating Continent, would definitely not be spared. If what Ymir said was true...

"...I've had enough of this repetitive drama that seems like a reincarnation. It's boring to want to write a good script but don't have good actors..."

Srud on the throne looked at Ymir without interest, and his voice was full of fatigue.

"Faith, corruption, loyalty, betrayal, human fickleness, and the battle between demons and goddesses... The world went from peace to war, and from war to peace... As long as the earth is full of humans, peace will be broken. Then history will repeat itself."

Slud sighed and his voice was full of anger: "I once thought of driving all the humans in the empire away, but I didn't expect that our demons have been infected by them! They also got those bad habits!"

Slud's voice was extremely angry, with hundreds of years of accumulated anger, and his words were full of curses. Slud, who had always used his adjutant Menia to convey his thoughts and ideas, directly expressed his own mood and feelings.

"Later I figured it out. All the troubles were caused by humans. Humans are so stupid. Not only humans, but also demons, goddesses, and other low-level organizations that were influenced by humans..."

"So, you want to use the fall of Yggdrasil to destroy everyone?" Seeing the depths of the demon king's heart, Rocky clenched his fists and interrupted.

Slud didn't move his eyes, and Rocky stood back in frustration.

Menia at the back opened her mouth wide with an expression of disbelief: "It's all a lie! This is impossible! Didn't the Demon King want to establish a permanent and stable order?"

Unexpectedly, Slud sneered: "Haha? You said I want to continue to dominate this world? As long as humans exist, as long as they seek salvation and ambition, this world will not change! So in this case, it is better to close this boring world! Wouldn't it be better to gain eternal peace? This is what I want, you never understand."

"How...how could this be..." Menia's eyes were dull, and her dream was shattered. Being denied by the Demon King she followed, Menia sat on the ground in disappointment.
