Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Lux’s face was stern, unable to accept Yang Yu’s recent remarks:

"Then let me ask you.

If there is evidence that the goddess has sinister intentions, what do you plan to do?"

Yang Yu answered decisively: "No matter how many times you ask, I’ll say this.

If there is indeed evidence that the goddess harbors ill intentions towards our civilization, I will redirect my spear at her.

Stop bringing up the Luck value on the data panel.

I think that thing is a mark created by past civilizations for each soldier, used to distribute treasures from the Underground Maze.

Perhaps they would brand such a special mark on soldiers who perform well or poorly, so the Underground Maze or Treasure Box could recognize it and distribute rewards more ’reliably.’

Maybe that design did not work well and was quickly abandoned.

Perhaps the flaws in this reward distribution method were too many, and such numbers could be inherited by the next generation.

As for the claim that luck affects reality...

It’s purely self-awareness interfering, a so-called psychological effect.

To reiterate, this is merely my speculation.

To know the truth, we must still ask the goddess.

The person who wrote that diary was not a researcher in the maze-making department, and he did not know anything about it.

There is a lot to study concerning Magic Power.

If every detail were written out, one or two notebooks would easily be filled."

Lux pondered for a long time, countering Yang Yu with his previous words:

"Without any evidence, who wouldn’t create a conspiracy theory?

I remember you’ve said that.

Indeed. Without evidence, you can say anything you want.

This is only your personal speculation.

Despite halting your attack and trying to persuade me, but...

From your actions earlier, it seems we still have no need to continue this conversation.

If you genuinely wanted to talk, you wouldn’t let your partner carry out such a drama ruthlessly.

Truly, what a drama.

Did you realize I was indifferent, then remind me of my ability to transform others?

The Evil Dragon you once defeated and the Goblin Emperor Cide, they are my masterpieces.

I spent quite a lot of time fully understanding how to operate that machine.

When you first arrived, you were eager to deny the technology I possess.

If you hadn’t been in such a hurry to say those things, perhaps I would have reconsidered.

It might have made me believe you to be a trustworthy person.

The reason you’re wasting your breath now is probably because your plan failed.

In your original idea, the blow would cause me great turmoil, and further stimulating violent emotions in the man dormant within me could allow him to regain control of his body.

However, the man’s appearance was but a fleeting moment.

You thought when you said, ’Who can guarantee you could revive them?’, that man would be filled with rage and expel my soul from his body.

But...

He is now once again thoroughly suppressed by me.

When I questioned you, you immediately sensed something was wrong, realizing the plan had failed, and swiftly pulled out another argument.

If I’m not mistaken, this is your last resort to defeat me.

You never cease to surprise me.

I’ve been deceived by you more than once, and I almost got fooled again earlier.

But unfortunately, I won’t be tricked anymore.

No matter how nice you say it, I can see your ulterior motives through your actions.

Let’s end this!

Lux raised his hand to the sky, and the Magic Power released earlier by Yongfang Chunlan swirled above him.

He could feel it.

Lux could feel the determination in Yongfang Chunlan’s heart, even at that moment, considering for his sake, scattering Magic Power into the air for him to use.

How foolish. You are truly foolish.

Now that I’m the Demon King, even if you don’t deliberately scatter your Magic Power, I have ways to use the Magic Power within your body.

...Do you think you could still survive after scattering your Magic Power?

Sorry, Yongfang, I’ve disappointed you again.

Even now, with my eyes wide open, I seem to see past memories slowly sliding before my eyes.

I can’t stand it the most when you keep saying ’I understand’, ’I know’, trying not to show a look of disappointment, so I couldn’t help but make that request eventually.

After making that request, I didn’t want you to fulfill it, yet I sincerely hoped you would.

When you did fulfill that request, I felt genuinely happy, even if I truly didn’t want you to get involved, making you toil for hundreds of years.

I will definitely bring you back to life.

After I accomplish everything I want to do, I will try my best to fulfill every wish of yours.

You are my partner.

From the start, I have never been alone and had no need to seek like-minded friends.

If I had been more willful back then, told you everything I knew, told you the events of my past life, perhaps you would understand me.

It’s not too late for anything.

For the sake of that day, I will crush any enemy daring to stand in my way until my ideals are realized.

Staring at the Magic Power gathered like a vortex above Lux’s head, Yang Yu knew Lux intended to kill them.

Yang Yu sighed deeply again, smiling bitterly:

"Everything I just said was serious.

Did all the acting along the way lead to repercussions?

If I had been straightforward by nature all along, said and did whatever, would he believe what I’m saying now?

Well...

Afraid I wouldn’t even have reached here by then.

There’s no use in regretting. I shouldn’t regret anything anyway.

Lux, there’s one thing you got wrong."

Yang Yu paused, his gaze turning increasingly sharp:

"I did plan for Vorquis to regain complete control over his body.

But I also anticipated that with your ambitious resolve, it would be hard for Vorquis’ will to shake you.

Even if Vorquis forcibly regained control, you’d probably snatch it back soon.

Therefore, my initial plan was not for Vorquis to regain control...

Lux, you seem to have quite a bit of confidence in your abilities.

But no one is perfect; among that vast ocean of knowledge, can you truly take everything with you?"
