Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 70: Great Changes on Kenku Island
People always have to pay the price for their choices.

It wasn't the first day Adeline realized this problem. In fact, she realized it after A. Godola left.

The Heroic Squad had fallen apart. What had once been a group of such friendship, such unity, such mutual support, had fallen apart. She, always the one doted on by others, was now forced to face the burden of supporting the Alchemist Guild on her own.

She didn't really want to do this. In her opinion, what was the point of the Alchemist Guild? Being the leader of a group wasn't something she was meant to do. But where should she go? Should she find the rest of the team? Should she find A. Godora? Where did she belong?

She is the source of miracles.

When the alchemists unconsciously rallied around her, she finally realized that there are some things that you can't choose not to do just because you don't want to.

At least, she was not strong enough to resist this invisible force.

But when she received the letter from Xia Di, she was still shaken.

The next day after receiving the letter, she learned that Xia Di had resigned as the Saint, which was obviously to pay the price for pacifying the affairs of the Lizardman Kingdom.

She finally opened the letter that she had not been able to open yesterday.

The content of the letter was very simple.

But the amount of information is very large.

In the letter, Shadi entrusted Adeline with the task of "defeating the Demon King."

In her letters she described in detail her analysis of the world situation.

"Adriana controls the Magicians' Guild, the world's most powerful non-state organization. Among humans, magic is primarily controlled by the nobility, a symbol of nobility. As a result, she possesses the power to shake the world. However, she may be more inclined towards the elves, who are naturally gifted with exceptional magical talent. Given the elves' current stance, they may not necessarily side with humans, so we must be wary."

"In Nifede. As the leader of the Curse Masters, Curse Masters are naturally close to the demons. Needless to say, you should know how dangerous the curse is. Those who use it over a long period of time will inevitably experience some degree of mental distortion. This is a very dangerous group. If possible, I would eliminate them. However, I can't do it now."

After much thought, I realize that you are the only one I can rely on. You are obviously the youngest among us, and it would be a dereliction of duty for me to let you shoulder such a heavy responsibility. However, for the sake of humanity, I have no choice but to do it. Please forgive me, Adeline.

The tone of this letter is exactly like the words that Xia Di would say when the Brave Team still existed. At that time, she always looked at everyone gently and took care of everyone like an older sister. The dominance she displayed in the power struggle meeting a few days ago seemed to have disappeared.

More than ten years seemed to have passed at all, and the scenes from the past appeared before Adeline as clearly as a drama.

Adeline tightened her grip around the letter, twisting it.

However, she quickly took out a special potion and destroyed the letter.

She has teamed up with the Demon King.

If what Xia Di said was true - then she had misjudged him.

But...given Shadi's personality, this letter probably wasn't just addressed to her. Adriana and In-Nifed should have received one as well. But the tone was different... Thinking of this, she suppressed her inner hesitation, and the scene of her recent meeting with the Demon King surfaced before her eyes.

Of course, what Xia Di said was correct. Perhaps she recognized her own correctness from the bottom of her heart, but just as the devil said,

She and the Demon King are allies of interests.

She is the president of the Alchemist Association. She is responsible for the entire Alchemist Association - and is responsible for defeating the Demon King during the period when Shadi is imprisoned in herself?
What kind of stupid thing is this?

Being hostile to the Demon King would only deplete the Alchemist Association's power. Moreover, this letter revealed Xia Di's fear of the Magicians' Guild and the Cursers' Alliance. This could naturally be seen as a form of sowing discord, and was part of Xia Di's attempt to prevent several forces from uniting.

While several forces are fighting among themselves, they are also attacking the Demon King to a certain extent. Perhaps this is exactly what Xia Di wants to achieve.

This can almost be considered an open conspiracy.

After all, for all the major organizations, the White Church's problems this time would create a "vacuum." A power vacuum.

Those vacuums should naturally be filled by the organizations they lead. Therefore... open and covert fighting among the various organizations is almost inevitable—unless they can first agree on the distribution of benefits... Even then, there's no guarantee, as some will inevitably interfere. If Shadi hadn't retreated so decisively, everyone could have treated the White Church as an imaginary enemy and united, just like they did against the Demon King in the past.

But Xia Di's retreat was so decisive that it also announced the collapse of the alliance of several organizations, and it was impossible for them to truly unite.

It took courage for the White Church to give in, but it must be said that it was a wise move.

After all, there is also the possibility that if they take a step back, the major forces will unite and devour them.

As for the Central Empire of Humanity?
The Wise King and these organizations were not on the same track. At least in the current human environment, a person could simultaneously hold his or her own nationality and status in various associations. If you were exceptionally talented, you could even be a member of all the organizations. However, those who did so were generally considered fools.

But judging from the current situation, no one is willing to actually take action against the White Church.

If this is the case, with the power of the White Church, it would probably only take a few years to reverse what is happening today. For example, by publishing "The Sacred Records Volume Five", they could explain what is happening today as a manifestation of the will of God, smooth out the impact of today, or even take it to a higher level.

But the question is - do you have a few years?
In the sight of others, the Demon King took back his left hand, and A. Godora cooperated with him to take back his right hand.

The Demon King was still a long way from being resurrected. Eleven parts were still needed... and A. Godora's attitude was ambiguous. He didn't seem to have any intention of forcibly resurrecting the Demon King. If he had that intention, with the power of this brave man, he could probably lead the Demon King around the world in a week.

If they were more decisive and directly helped Moher retrieve the parts that symbolized his powerful fighting abilities, such as his horns, the curse, and the magic... the Demon King would immediately be able to display his terrifying fighting abilities. At that time, the Hero and the Demon King would join forces... Even if the Demon King hadn't recovered to his peak, the Hero wouldn't be in his full form either—

Adeline still doubted whether another crusade against the former demon king would be successful.

Perhaps it was because Xia Di realized this that she locked herself in the church's tower. The battle with Godora made her understand some things.

Adeline rubbed her brow.

She didn't like thinking about such things, but she had to think like this. If she were to put her present self back in the past, she would probably laugh at herself now, so scheming, with her head full of calculations, and her head full of things related to interests... It was simply ridiculous.

"I can't do what you want, Shadi."

Because the Demon King has spread her curse across the city, she is also a...

"I am also a victim!"

Adeline walked out of where she was.

This is the highest place on the entire Kenku Island.

Wings grew from her shoes, allowing her to float in the air. Looking down, she saw a dense crowd of people gathered outside the building.

"The White Church must give an explanation to the Alchemist Association!"

"Our dedication is not for slaughter!"

"Council President, is it true that he doesn't know?!"

"Where should the Alchemist Association go?"

Crowded with people, those who relied on me, supported me, and those who were now against me, scolding me...

Adeline couldn't help but sigh, the curse really only works when it's cast by the devil himself. Without a doubt, a curse that doesn't take anyone's life but changes a person's heart can only be cast so delicately by the devil, without even letting anyone notice any trace of the curse.

After all, if the members of the Alchemist Guild were all filled with a sense of justice, wouldn't it be natural for them to be angry about being deceived and sad about the massacre of the Lizardmen? Isn't it also natural for them to pursue justice?

So this is how the palace coup happened.

Isn't it a matter of course?

Of course, Adeline knew better than anyone that there might be noble people among the alchemists. The proportion was probably higher than that of other organizations - but not even as high as that of the White Church. Regardless of what the top leaders of the White Church thought, the White Church was indeed a glamorous organization, and many believers who joined it also had pure good intentions.

Under such circumstances, such a thing has never happened to the White Church, let alone the Alchemist Association?

For many alchemists, alchemical knowledge is the most important thing, and it is the "loosest" organization.

Adeline knew it all.

She closed her eyes. Knowledge was the source of power for alchemists. She knew the root cause of all this and the driving force behind it, so there was no need to be afraid - she could not be afraid. She had to take on this responsibility and she had the ability to face the current situation.

When she opened her eyes again, her words fell like thunder among the crowd.

"Alchemists, are you willing to follow me to the land and seek an answer?"

After the thunder, there is silence first.

Then...

It was a roar louder than thunder!
The Sky Fortress, long thought to have lost its function, rose into the sky again on this day as the cornerstone of Kenku Island.

Adeline flew towards the continent with the headquarters of the entire Alchemist Association.

If no one is willing to take action against the church, I will do it.

Retreating from the world cannot solve any problems.

The Reflection of the World and the Mirror of Abinu, like two guardian gods, linger and revolve around the Sky Fortress. At this moment, these are the most powerful weapons of war in history!
