‘An Abyssal Demon of the demon king tier was a terrifying existence born after absorbing the power of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons. Furthermore, they were loyal servants of the Lord Demon God. As servants, these beings were supposed to eliminate all threats for the Lord Demon God, especially this so-called Main Character Group!’

‘However, why? You are clearly an Abyssal Demon, even one of the demon king tier?! Why are you blocking my attack and saving that Chosen Maiden?!’

‘Is there something wrong with this!’

Wilt’s heart roared frantically as his dark green eyes stared fixedly at the black-haired girl nearby who possessed a dangerous beauty, waiting for her answer.

However, facing Wilt’s somewhat hysterical questioning, the black-haired girl, our Miss Yumo, tilted her head indifferently. After glancing at the unconscious silver-haired girl behind her, she glared at Wilt with a look of disdain.

“Enemy? Sorry, I don’t see her as an enemy.”

“No? Not an enemy? She is a possessor of divine power! She is the natural enemy of you Abyssal Demons!”

“Yeah, so what? Hmm…”

Just as Yumo was halfway through her reply, her brow suddenly furrowed. She snapped her head back to look behind her. At that moment, another dark green energy python burst from the ground and lunged directly at the sleeping Mengxi!

Seeing this, Yumo showed a flash of surprise. This guy used conversation to distract her so he could launch a sneak attack? Realizing this, a hint of anger flickered in Yumo’s crimson eyes.

Wilt, who possessed wind-attribute magic power, undoubtedly had extraordinary attack speed, but there was still a certain gap compared to Yumo. In the next instant, accompanied by a flash of crimson light, Miss Yumo blinked to the back. She scooped up Mengxi and leaped backward, dodging the python’s attack.

Immediately after, hundreds of Blood Butterflies swarmed forward, instantly annihilating the dark green energy python.

After confirming that Mengxi was unaffected, Yumo let out a soft sigh of relief. The worry on her small face faded temporarily, and she placed Mengxi beside a broken stone pillar.

“I say, are you looking for death?” Yumo looked at Wilt with annoyance.

On the other side, seeing the sneak attack fail, Wilt clenched his fists in frustration! At the same time, this Cult Leader of the Divine Punishment Holy Church noticed the subtle change in the black-haired girl’s expression, which only made him feel more enraged.

At the same time, Wilt reached a conclusion in his heart. “You are protecting that woman so much and worrying about her. As I thought, you have already betrayed the Lord Demon God…”

“What do you mean, betrayal?”

‘The ‘Demon God’ this idiot was talking about should be me, right? I betrayed myself?’ Miss Yumo couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“Please, strictly speaking, the Demon God you worship is me, okay? How could I…”

“Nonsense!” Wilt’s angry shout interrupted Yumo’s words before she could finish. “Haha, the Lord Demon God described by the Child of God is tall, mighty, heroic, and robust, possessing three heads and six arms. How could it be a little girl like you?! Moreover, the Lord Demon God’s goal is to purify this filthy world, and for that, the Chosen Ones who resist must be eliminated! How could the Demon God save a Chosen Maiden?! You traitor, don’t think you can deceive me with such a clumsy lie!”

“…”

Hearing this, Miss Yumo’s mood became somewhat complicated. Three heads and six arms… And the Child of God? Haha… Miss Yumo’s face darkened slightly. “Believe what you want…”

While Yumo snorted, Wilt quietly observed the girl before him. Then, a look of sudden realization slowly appeared on his face. “I see, I understand now…”

“And what did you understand?”

“Looking at your appearance, you don’t have the characteristics of any other race—no tail, no wings, or anything of the sort. You must be an Abyssal Demon converted purely from a human, right?”

“…”

Hearing this, Yumo narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a serious expression. Indeed, after the demon king tier children transformed into humans, they more or less retained some characteristics of their original forms, such as Li Mo’s tail and ears, Li Yu’s wings, and Shuoyue’s eyes.

But how did he know this? He could even use this information to judge her original form? Plus, this guy hadn’t been surprised at all by seeing a human-form Abyssal Demon earlier. If she wasn’t mistaken, this person had seen other demon king tiers, and specifically their human forms…

As for being an Abyssal Demon converted from a human? In a sense, she was…

Seeing Miss Yumo’s silence, Wilt seemed to think his guess was accurate. “Your silence is an admission, isn’t it? Haha, did your human rationality make you hostile toward Abyssal Demons, leading you to eventually betray the Lord Demon God? Do you hope that by helping the Chosen Maiden and defeating the Lord Demon God, you can finally return to human society?”

Speaking to this point, a mocking smile appeared on Wilt’s face. “Haha, how naive. Humans, or rather those scumbags from the Ashurmos Church, might coexist with you peacefully for a moment for the sake of profit, but they are merely using you. They will certainly try every possible means to squeeze every bit of value out of you! Like those terrible experiments, even if you survive them! Once the humans completely defeat the Abyssal Demons, they will kill the donkey once the grinding is done. You will not come to a good end.”

At the same time, Wilt’s gaze shifted to the silver-haired girl protected behind Yumo. “As for that Chosen Maiden, do you think she will be grateful to you just because you saved her once? No, she won’t! The purpose of existence for these so-called Chosen Ones is to eliminate Abyssal Demons! Their hostility toward Abyssal Demons is deep-rooted. Once she wakes up, she will still swing her sword at you!”

“…”

“Miss Blood Butterfly, stop having such unrealistic fantasies. Choosing to help the Chosen Maiden will only lead to your own destruction! The fact that you could become a demon king tier existence means the Lord Demon God chose you! You must cherish this opportunity and repent! Stop protecting that Chosen Maiden! Return to the embrace of the Lord Demon God; that way, there will still be a place for you in the new world. Furthermore, if you are willing, your family and friends can enter the new world and enjoy a life of wealth and glory! Come, Miss Blood Butterfly, do not remain stubborn.”

As he spoke, Wilt even extended his right hand toward Yumo in an inviting gesture. In his view, the girl in front of him might have simply made some foolish decisions because she couldn’t accept the reality after becoming an Abyssal Demon. After appealing to her emotions and reason, she would surely pick up the butcher’s knife and become a demon again. At that time, no one would hinder him from killing the Chosen Maiden.

However, Wilt’s idea fell through. Facing Wilt’s ‘persuasion’, the black-haired girl still shook her head indifferently.

“Sorry, not interested. I’m still going to protect her.”

“Wh-What?!”

Seeing the black-haired girl shake her head so decisively and hearing her resolute tone, Wilt’s face changed drastically again. “Don’t you know that doing this is a suicidal act?!”

“What if it is?” ‘Wouldn’t that be better?’

“You! Suicide?! Is your brain… You, what exactly is your goal?! What do you actually want to do?!”

“As for my goal, I hope this child grows up well. Also… I want to destroy the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.”

“Hoping for the Chosen Maiden to grow? Wanting to destroy the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons?! You… are you crazy…”

Wilt couldn’t help but clench his fists as his dark green eyes filled with a hideous expression. Ignoring Wilt’s murderous gaze, Miss Yumo walked slowly toward him, surrounded by dozens of Blood Butterflies. “Since I’ve told you my purpose, why don’t you answer a question for me? Who exactly is the Child of God your Divine Punishment Holy Church speaks of? And where are they?!”

“The Lord Child of God? Haha~” Wilt let out a cold laugh. “You want to find the location of the Chosen Son so you can harm that Lord?! Haha, keep dreaming! It’s impossible for me to tell you!”

“If you don’t talk, you will die.”

As she spoke slowly with a threatening tone, a dangerous light appeared in Yumo’s crimson eyes. Her cold gaze pierced through Wilt’s body like a sharp sword, causing his back to chill and his body to tremble slightly. However, there was not a hint of fear in Wilt’s eyes. Instead, a thick sense of battle intent erupted from this Cult Leader’s eyes.

“It’s not certain who will die yet!”

With that, Wilt abruptly pulled out dozens of red pills from his spatial ring! These were the Blood Soul Pills that allowed one to gain powerful strength for a short time by using the power of Abyssal Demons at the cost of sacrificing one’s life and soul.

In the next moment, Wilt violently swallowed those red pills. As the dozens of Blood Soul Pills entered his body, an indescribable power suddenly exploded in Wilt’s abdomen before rapidly spreading throughout his entire body! The constant pain from his previous wounds vanished instantly. An intense feeling of excitement surged like a violent wave into his brain.

The muscles all over his body began to swell, and strange scales and crimson demon horns gradually grew from his body! A wisp of blood-red light surfaced in Wilt’s eyes as a violent aura began to spread rapidly in all directions with Wilt at the center.

With the boost from dozens of pills, Wilt’s wounds were almost completely healed, and his presence was even stronger than his peak state! It was powerful enough to be hair-raising. Even the sleeping silver-haired girl couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

The unprecedented, majestic power made Wilt reveal an excited expression. ‘Lord Child of God, it seems that now is the time for me to repay your kindness…’

Then, his bloodshot eyes locked onto Miss Yumo. “Miss Blood Butterfly, I will give you one last chance! Give up on protecting the Chosen Maiden and leave this place obediently! Otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?”

“If you insist on rebelling, then I can only kill you.”

…

Hearing this, Yumo fell silent. But after a moment of silence, Miss Yumo smiled and shook her head. She stood fearlessly in front of Mengxi.

“Then I’ll just rebel. Anyway, as long as I’m here, no one can kill that child.”
