Demon King – Chapter 807 – Chaotic Evil
Belonia, a name quite full of otherworldly flavor. Unlike the harmless little Demon Lord, this senior of hers would be called, in modern terms, a genuine Chaotic Evil.
Her ambition, or rather her desire, was extremely rare even among the Demon Lords of all generations. Although Demon Lords throughout history were never particularly friendly toward other races, and among them there was no shortage of those with radical attitudes.
They still always prioritized the stability of the demon race above all else, and most of the time they behaved themselves. As long as no one came knocking to provoke them, Demon Lords would not be bored enough to personally step in just to stomp weaklings.
But Belonia was different. She was not satisfied with the present. She constantly pursued more power, and hoped to bring other races under her command as well, so she could become a supreme existence in this world.
However, other races had a group capable of balancing Demon Lords, the Heroes. After realizing that she could not accomplish this goal by her own strength alone, just as mentioned before, she set her sights on the power of Heroes and gave birth to that daughter who possessed both powers.
Yet to Belonia, whose ambition stood above all else, that daughter was nothing more than a tool. At the very beginning, she had even considered directly possessing her daughter’s body and seizing her power outright.
But because of the fundamental nature of a Hero’s power, even a Demon Lord could not avoid the problem of a short lifespan. After discovering that her daughter also carried this fatal flaw, Belonia abandoned that idea. Besides, if she really tried to force it, she truly could not beat her own daughter.
So she changed her plan and focused on grooming her into a puppet while she herself hid behind the scenes. Belonia calculated that as long as she commanded and drove her daughter to act for her, achieving her goals would only be a matter of time.

As for her daughter’s short lifespan, she did not care at all. At worst she could just find another Hero and repeat the same trick. With that mindset of treating her daughter entirely as a tool, there was naturally no such thing as love for the child.
A person like her was eventually betrayed by her daughter and exiled from the world together with the Abyssal Amber, which could be said to be reaping what she had sown. And between worlds there were rules of their own. Creatures from other worlds would be rejected by the world itself and simply could not survive.
For that reason, that pitiful Demon Lord did not continue pursuing the mother who had never given her any care. Because even for Belonia, born as a Demon Lord, after arriving in this world her very existence was being rejected, her body inevitably collapsing without stop.
Her ambition absolutely could not end here. To save her life, Belonia did not hesitate to abandon her physical body and seal her soul inside the Abyssal Amber that served as the origin. Because the Abyssal Amber was not a living being, it would not be rejected by the world.
Although through this method she barely managed to preserve her existence, a Demon Lord’s body and soul were fundamentally one. Doing this was no different from mutilating herself. Gravely weakened, Belonia could only lurk inside it, unable to stir the slightest storm for a very long time.
“So I will reign over this world and make this weak world that has never experienced the power of a Demon Lord become something in my pocket. As long as I control you, everything will be effortless.”
Grabbing one of the girl’s horns in front of her with one hand, Belonia laughed wildly, as if everything were already her property. Looking at that textbook villain grin, the little Demon Lord did not even feel like complaining anymore about how many flags the other party had just raised.

After preserving her existence, Belonia’s ambition swelled again in this world. But a Demon Lord from another world could not exist here. The only feasible method was to transform creatures of this world and create a Demon Lord that belonged to this world.
Even among demons, finding a vessel with the aptitude to become a Demon Lord was one in ten thousand, or even one in a million or ten million. So the transformation of the Abyssal Amber actually had its own protection mechanism. Otherwise, if Demon Lords ever broke in succession, with an elimination rate like the Daughters of Amber Crystal, the demon race would have gone extinct long ago.
So once a vessel’s aptitude did not meet the requirements, the Abyssal Amber would immediately stop its probing transformation and would not harm the vessel itself at all. At first, Belonia had also wanted to avoid attracting attention and let the Abyssal Amber proceed slowly on its own.
But when even demons from her original world were filtered down to one in millions, let alone races from other worlds, Belonia quickly realized that if she really let the Abyssal Amber screen by itself, she might as well wait until she gave up thinking entirely and still get nowhere.
So she began interfering. She directly removed the Abyssal Amber’s transformation protection mechanism and started conducting inhuman mass screenings like those of the Daughters of Amber Crystal. She did not care how many innocent girls would be sacrificed along the way. So the source of all the tragedies was this ambition swollen Chaotic Evil Demon Lord.
Later, when Eiru appeared, it made her eyes go red with greed. Her body was directly formed from the Abyssal Amber, the origin of Demon Lords. The power of this junior from another world even surpassed that daughter who had fused Hero power and was known as the strongest Demon Lord in history. How could such temptation not move a Belonia whose ambition overflowed?
Thus she planned a possession scheme. Learning from the lesson of her daughter back then, Belonia decided to secretly blind this junior’s cognition. While interfering from the shadows, she intended to take advantage of the other party’s ignorance to slip in.
Although a Demon Lord had no authority to alter the life histories of other Demon Lords engraved in racial memory, she could still modify her own. So she altered her own record and even fabricated some Demon Lord histories that never existed, all to mislead Eiru so she would not guard against her plan.

As for her daughter, since she was still alive when the Abyssal Amber was thrown out, her life history had never been engraved at all. There was simply no record to find. Naturally, the little Demon Lord had no way of knowing the story between that mother and daughter.
Back in that world Belonia already looked down on humans there, not to mention these humans who possessed no special abilities and were even weaker than those of her original world.
So Belonia, who never took Eiru seriously at all, had never expected the other party to detect her existence from loopholes in her story, and so she embarrassingly overturned yet again.
Thus, locked inside the other party’s subconscious, she could only observe this unfamiliar world through Eiru’s perspective while secretly using her abilities, step by step placing shackles onto this junior’s consciousness.
“By the way, senior, I still have a question…”
The little Demon Lord had just wanted to raise her hand to ask, but the sound of chains forced her to give up the showy gesture.
“Didn’t you say all Demon Lords of every generation are big sisters? Why do you look just like me, a loli?”

“That’s simple. A Demon Lord’s soul and body are one. I abandoned my body, so naturally my soul lost its shape.”
Staring at Eiru in front of her, Belonia did not bother hiding the greed in her eyes.
“And since what I want to seize is your body, for synchronization I naturally have to adjust my soul into a state compatible with your body. You’re not an outsider to this. You should understand if I put it that way, right?”
“Oh~”
Her Majesty the Demon Lord suddenly let out a strange cry.
“So that means you stayed inside my body so long that you’ve already turned into my shape!”
