Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 146 As the Lord of Humanity
"That's just the way it is."

Duke Reggus described in detail to the wise king everything he had experienced in the ancestral land.

He is a duke, so reporting to the wise king does not necessarily have to be in a very formal occasion. At this moment, the format is more like afternoon tea.

Normally, he shouldn't have reported it this way, but the wise king signaled him not to report it first and to come to him alone.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, what I can report shouldn't be significantly different from the intelligence everyone else has received. I don't understand why you want me to report separately."

He was very puzzled. Duke Reggus was not a fool. His own strength was not enough to reach the level of a Great Elemental Mentor. This was actually somewhat unqualified for a Duke, but Duke Reggus had his own advantages. As a talent specializing in diplomacy in the Human Central Empire, he was quite famous internationally and was considered one of the Human Central Empire's trump cards.

Therefore, even if we only talk about his appearance, he can be considered tall, mighty, handsome and handsome.

"Don't be nervous, Lord Reggus. It's just you and me here. I asked you to come alone because I have something to tell you."

Just the two of us?
Even if the wise king said such words, it is certainly not credible. After all, theoretically speaking, the wise king's strength is at most at the level of a great element mentor, and he will not be without protection - saying that there are only two of them, as a subject, is just for him to listen to.

Just treat it as the trust and favor of the wise king.

"Lord Reggus doesn't seem to believe it... but that's fine." The wise king's tone was strange. "I called you here because I only have one question for you."

"Please tell me."

"In the fight you witnessed between the Hero A. Godora and the Fairy Queen, was the Hero A. Godora still human?"

Reggus was stunned. He was in charge of diplomatic matters and was quite adept at dealing with people, but why would the wise king ask such a question? Of course, the brave A. Godora was human...

He saw it.

Seeing the extremely serious look in the wise king's eyes, he knew that this was a very important issue.

He closed his eyes, recalling the scene when he saw A. Godola descend. Even though it was extremely chaotic at that time, even though everyone was frantically running for their lives, but...

"I am certain, Your Majesty, that he is human."

The Wise King stared into Reggus's eyes, and Reggus responded to the look positively.

The great king finally relaxed a little: "If that's the case, then that's good."

Reggus looked hesitant, and many doubts arose in his heart.

"Sir Reggus, I know you have doubts in your heart, but it's alright. Since I've summoned you today, I want to tell you everything. You can tell me all the doubts in your heart."

"Why do you ask whether the hero A. Godora is still human? From what we know about that hero, even if he cooperates with the Demon King, he will not betray humanity... This is the answer that many scholars agree on."

The wise king shook his head slightly. "That's not the question, Lord Reggus. Why don't you answer me a question first? What do you think of the Demon King?"

"Demon King?"

What do you think of the Demon King?

"The public enemy of all races. An existence that must be destroyed, a terrifying being that once dominated the world with fear... and also an ultimate life form that has reached the pinnacle of excellence in every field."

There are many descriptions like this.

He used some bad descriptions to make his position clear, and then said some flattering words to show the power of the Demon King. If the virtuous king was dissatisfied, he could later say that such a demon king was also defeated under the leadership of the virtuous king, showing the greatness of the virtuous king...

This should be a more perfect answer.

"I don't want to hear these repetitive words, Lord Reggus. I know your past very well. It has never been a secret. Like most humans in this world, you have been bullied by the demons and hold a deep hatred for them. This is precisely the foundation on which we can unite and overthrow the Demon King's rule."

Reggus could not help but remain silent.

Now that things have come to this, why is the wise king talking about this?
Those nightmares, long forgotten, should have dissipated with the death of the Demon King. However, the Demon King wasn't truly dead—the nightmares he brought still occasionally reappeared in Reggus's sleep. And now, those nightmares were slowly resurfacing.

Seeing Reggus's expression, the wise king couldn't help but smile. "You're a little nervous, Lord Reggus. I don't mean anything else by saying this... I just have a question."

"what do you mean?"

"Do you think humans can become like that?"

Become like that?

What would it be like to be like that?
Reggus actually knew what the wise king was talking about, but he didn't dare to think about it or respond.

"I told you, there are only two of us here, Lord Reggus." The wise king opened his arms. "Have you ever thought that one day, other races will fear humans as much as they fear the demons? Have you ever thought that one day, even if we do nothing and say nothing, other races will be forced to show kindness to humans to protect themselves, just to fear the slightest misunderstanding. Just like the Thunder Emperor who was once sent to the demons as tribute, the demon king actually despised him... Now that you have reached this position, your every word and action, every small gesture, will be observed by others. You can also feel the taste of such power... But it's not enough, right?"

A strange light flickered in the wise king's eyes. "Sir Reggus, isn't that enough? The Central Empire of Humanity seems powerful, but the Elf Queen made a deal with us, and so did the White Church. The Alchemist Association directly drove an island above our city, and who knows what the Curse Alliance is secretly doing... Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

How should Reggus answer this question? This might even cost him his life.

"We've lived through the time of demon rule. Before the appearance of the hero A. Godora, before the major races truly began to rebel, which race dared to talk about a 'deal' with the demons? The closer we got to the rebellion, the more submissive we became. We didn't even dare to exchange extra information, like bugs in a sewer, afraid to be spotted and crushed to death by the Demon King."

The wise king reminisced about the past: "The Central Empire of Humanity! How magnificent it sounds! We are in the center! But what's the point? If we can drive others to the edge, we will naturally be driven to the edge ourselves. Today's Elf Kingdom, tomorrow's Human Central Empire. In the next few years, who knows how many kingdoms the Elf Kingdom will be divided into."

This was presumptuous, but despite it being presumptuous, Reggus couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to..."

"Humans can become demons!"

Reggus wanted to cover his ears. He shouldn't have heard such words. Perhaps he shouldn't have accepted the mission of the Elf Kingdom - no, he had no choice!
"You have witnessed the power of the brave A. Godora. Unlike the humans, the Elven Queen is undoubtedly the most powerful of the elves. United with the Elven Mother Tree, in the Ancestral Land, she claims to be invincible and no one can deny it. Even if the entire elven realm is destroyed, as long as she lives, the elves will not be defeated... She is also different from other elves, with superb skills and an iron will. She is not afraid of sacrifice or change. I am in awe of such an opponent... But she is dead."

At this point, the wise king's eyes lost even the slightest trace of sadness. "Like a stray dog ​​on the side of the road, easily trampled to death by the brave A. Godora! In the end, he was able to send away the other high-ranking elves and the saplings of the Elven Mother Tree. I think it wasn't because A. Godora couldn't kill them, but rather because a little bit of his kindness prevented him from taking action immediately. You should know! What a great power this is!"

"Your Majesty! Isn't this the worst possible scenario?"

"The worst?" The Wise King tilted his head. "What are you talking about? Such great power, such a powerful life form, he is none other than a human!"

It's humans?

No, has the wise king become incompetent because of his political affairs over the years? The brave A. Godola was betrayed by humans, and you say he is a human?

"I understand your concerns. The Brave A. Godora hates us so much. We once betrayed him. How could he forgive us?"

"In that case..."

"What if we die?"

The wise king suddenly said something unbelievable: "What if I died, Saint Shati died, Adeline, the source of miracles, and Nifede, the song of the end—all died? All the betrayers were killed, and only those who were loyal to him, loved him, believed in him, and followed him forever remained—would he still hate humans?"

Reggus was a very smart man, but at this moment, he was still a little confused about what the wise king was saying and what he was thinking.

"You don't seem to understand. You're probably saying, if that's the case, then you shouldn't have betrayed me in the first place...right?"

Reggus subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he couldn't speak.

"Humans are very delicate creatures." The Wise King stretched out his hand, as if trying to grasp something. "Before I became the so-called Wise King, I desperately wanted to grasp everything. As long as A. Godora was around, there would be someone more dazzling than me. As long as he was around, I couldn't truly control the Human Empire—A. Godora couldn't bring happiness to mankind. That's what I thought. But when I truly sat in this position, when I truly became the master of mankind—I suddenly became wholeheartedly devoted to the public good."

He chuckled somewhat self-deprecatingly. "It's a little funny, isn't it? During political struggles, you wish to put everyone to death, to gather all the wealth and power in your own hands. But when you truly become the master, you suddenly realize that since the entire empire is yours, you want it to be better. After all, it's all yours, and making it better is a natural desire. It was then that I finally made the sad discovery. Nothing can better humanity than pure power like that of A. Godora. Just like the demons of the past."

"The internal strife among the demons is serious, but it doesn't matter. With such a being, one can be superior. Therefore - as the master of mankind. I will give you an order."
