My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

She was the hero's woman and had always been by his side, but she was just a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken. In front of these powerful figures who had been famous for thousands of years, she was just an insignificant little person. After the incident, she was naturally ignored by everyone.

Kouta also looked at Christine and saw that she was in a forgotten corner, and her body was beginning to mutate, melting into blood...

Half of her body had already melted away when a golden light flew out of her mind, transforming into a teleportation portal.

Although Shimogaki Seiichi led a group of powerful members of the Holy Light Church out of the teleportation portal.

Upon seeing Shimogaki Seiichi, Christine hurriedly said, "Seiichi, save me! I have never betrayed you! I have done as you said!"

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Could this woman be a spy?

Seiichi Shimogaki looked at Christine, who was about to die, with a cold indifference in his eyes.

He's no longer the novice he used to be.

Previously at the Altona Palace, he trusted this woman completely and vowed to treat her well and not let her down.

But how did this woman repay him?

When the two are intimate, the hero forcibly strips away his own power of heroism using a technique buried inside his body. The power of heroism is bound to his soul, and the consequence of forcibly stripping it away is unbearable pain, worse than death.

Even so, this woman still wouldn't let him go. Under his last gaze, she threw herself naked into the arms of a strange man, and then began to make love to him right in front of him. In the end, he died from a stroke caused by blood loss!

How could he forget such a deep-seated hatred? He had long ago sworn that if he had another chance, he would definitely kill this woman with his own hands!

And heaven did indeed give him a second chance.

After his death, his soul returned to the temple of the goddess Ottilia, where the beautiful goddess helped him reshape his body and told him about the Demon King's avatar. He then traveled back to this world to complete his mission.

This time, he learned his lesson, cast aside his naivety and illusions, and stayed in the church to cultivate, never again engaging in the foolish act of wandering the continent. All of this... was for revenge!

When he had enough power, he secretly found Christine and planted a teleportation spell in her mind, using it to threaten her into becoming a spy, secretly reporting the Demon King's whereabouts, and preventing her from revealing his existence.

Sure enough, this woman did not disappoint him. She reported intelligence on time and never leaked his information.

Now, this woman is useless.

Shimogaki Seiichi walked past her without giving her another glance, leaving her to fend for herself.

When the Demon King saw Shimogaki Seiichi, he was taken aback: "You're not dead. Oh, right, what's the big deal about resurrecting a mortal to a god?"

"You're the mastermind behind all this, you despicable thief! Today, I'm going to defeat you!"

A white light flashed across Shimogaki Seiichi's body, and then he changed into a set of golden armor. Each piece of armor was a sacred artifact, but when put together, they reached the level of a divine artifact.

In addition, he already possessed the strength of a paladin, and the combined power of the two resulted in an aura that was almost as powerful as that of the Demon King.

Chapter 524 Crushing Defeat

"Demon King!" Shimogaki Seiichi roared to the sky.

Enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile, and the humiliation he suffered was the most unforgivable kind for a man: using his own woman to plot against him.

This is like killing someone's spirit; the anger in his heart is like a pot of boiling oil, about to explode at any moment. He is angry at Christine, this traitor, and also angry at his own incompetence, for not even being able to manage his own woman.

This shame can only be washed away with the blood of the other party.

Shimogaki Seiichi suddenly exerted force with both feet, his figure flashed and disappeared, the ground collapsed with a roar, and a white wave of air spread wildly outwards from him, like a category 9 typhoon, directly digging three feet into the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters, until it spread to the entire crater before stopping.

At this moment, he held nothing back, shooting towards the Demon King like a cannonball. With the cultivation of a Holy Knight and the enhancement of the Warrior's Armor, his lightning speed made even the veteran Saint-level powerhouses on the ground exclaim in amazement, "So fast!"

However, the Demon King glanced at the menacing Shimogaki Seiichi, his expression indifferent, and scoffed disdainfully, "Just an ant."

After saying that, he pointed his finger down, and the terrifying lightning pillar in the sky crashed down like a sword supporting the heavens. Shimogaki Seiichi's expression changed drastically. He did not expect that the opponent's attack was faster than his. No, the two were not even on the same level.

He should have realized it sooner; the speed of lightning is the same as the speed of light, and no matter how fast he goes, he can't go faster than the speed of light.

For a time, he had nowhere to hide. However, he was no longer the same as before. In the past few months, he had been training like crazy every day, engaging in life-or-death battles. His body had been torn apart countless times, and he had experienced all kinds of death and torture, all for the sake of revenge.

The pain he endured was nothing compared to the agony of having his soul torn apart.

Now he is a qualified soldier, at least in terms of "bravery and fearlessness".

"Kill—!" Shimogaki Seiichi fearlessly charged straight into the lightning pillar.

boom--!!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shimogaki Seiichi let out a miserable groan and flew backward, embedding himself deep into the ground with a loud "thud."

In an instant, the ground was cleared out, leaving a huge circular crater, and the soil and rocks inside were crushed into the finest sand and dust.

Along his path of flight, several Earth Knights and Radiant Knights were unable to dodge in time and were grazed by the red lightning. A terrifying scene unfolded: these powerful figures were like balloons, instantly bursting into dust upon being poked by the red lightning.

"No!"

"help me!"

"Help!"

"I can not be reconciled……"

More than a dozen powerful figures vanished into thin air amidst their wails.

This is lightning imbued with the destructive power of rules; it is an attack by the Demon King, who has fused his blood law with natural lightning.

In terms of status, this is an attack involving the realm of gods. It may be insignificant in the eyes of the divine, but when facing mortals, it is an overwhelming defeat.

Not long after, with a "thump!", Seiichi Shimogaki's figure jumped out from underground.

His body was covered in mud, and his warrior armor had turned crimson, radiating heat, like steel on the eve of fusion.

"Oh~, this attack would turn even a Saint-level being to ashes with a single touch, yet you're unharmed."

"Is that the armor? No wonder it's a divine artifact. However, you, a mere mortal, seem unable to unleash its power. Let's see how long you can last!" The Demon King finished speaking and pointed again, "Divine Judgment!"

A red lightning pillar, more than ten times larger than before, suddenly gathered in mid-air and crashed down.

Boom—!

Shimogaki Seiichi was shocked. "So fast!" He hadn't been on guard in the air and hadn't really felt it, but now he was fully alert. However, when the lightning bolt struck down, he still couldn't react in time.

Even though he had already leaped back the moment the opponent made a move, he was hit again in mid-air while dodging.

However, this time he was prepared. His Warrior Armor and various defensive skills and buffs were already activated. In that instant, Shimogaki Seiichi felt as if a thick tortoise shell enveloped him.

Rumble!

The red lightning bolt struck the multicolored protective membrane on Shirogane Seiichi's body, held for a moment, then burst through the membrane and slammed into him.

Without uttering a sound, Shimogaki Seiichi's body shot out like a cannonball and was slammed to the ground again. Centered on him, a huge crater hundreds of meters wide was formed again, and countless dust and debris rose up, forming a gray cloud.

A fierce wind swept through, blowing mud everywhere, and the sky appeared hazy and indistinct.

Bang!

A moment later, the ground exploded, and Shimogaki Seiichi emerged in a disheveled state once again.

This time, he was no longer as composed as before. He was in a sorry state, and the most obvious thing was that a visible crack appeared on the chest of his "Hero's Armor," which was about several tens of centimeters long. Red arcs of electricity crackled on the crack, making a thunderous sound.

"Ow—!"

Having been knocked to the ground twice, Shimogaki Seiichi's anger reached its peak. With a roar, he transformed into a flash of light once more, shooting from the ground straight towards the Demon King in the sky.

"Hmph! Useless struggle." A red lightning bolt flashed beneath the Demon King's body and struck Shimogaki Seiichi directly.

zizi~

Rumble—!

The "Hero Armor" on Shimogaki Seiichi's body finally cracked into countless fragments with a cracking sound. After the armor collapsed, his defensive skills and protection only lasted for one-thousandth of a breath before completely collapsing.

He exploded into countless blood mists, which were further eroded by the red lightning. Only a very small number of blood mists escaped the calamity and were smashed to the ravaged ground by the enormous rebound force.

Regardless of the surging blood mist, it transformed back into the complete Shimogaki Seiichi within a few breaths. However, his face was now terribly pale, and not only that, a visible aura of weakness lingered around him.

He was seriously injured.

Seiichi Shimogaki no longer possessed his former confidence.

Originally, he firmly believed that his previous failures were just a momentary lapse in judgment.

It's not that the "hero" is incapable, but rather that he failed to unleash the full potential of the "hero."

Simply put, he was unwilling to accept his defeat.

He firmly believed that the hero would surely defeat the demon king!

It was because of this mentality that he dared to cause trouble for the Demon King and dared to charge forward recklessly.

However, after three attacks, his confidence wavered.

He launched three all-out attacks in a row, but the result was that he couldn't even touch the opponent's face.

Not only did the divine artifact "Hero's Armor" crumble into countless fragments, but he himself was also reduced to a bloody mist and had most of his life force wiped out, leaving him severely injured and unable to breathe even while standing.

This time, as he looked up at the Demon King in the sky again, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, like an ant facing an elephant.

Perhaps this feeling isn't an illusion; he really is an ant...

"Why? Why are you so strong?" Shimogaki Seiichi's voice no longer carried the confidence and arrogance of before.

Chapter 525 The Divine Realm

The Demon King glanced coldly at Yuan Chengyi on the ground and said disdainfully, "Why am I so strong? Hmph, what's with that sense of superiority you have?"

Just because you come from a technologically backward civilization, you think you can look down on this world? Look down on me, a demigod?

Hey, there's a limit to arrogance!

In the large crater in the ground, Shimogaki Seiichi gasped for breath, his face ashen. He exclaimed in horror, "You, how do you know the word 'technology'?!"

"How would I know? Hahaha~, why do you think it would be difficult for me, a demigod, to access your memories?"

I could read through all your memories of the past ten years in a single glance.

However, it must be said that the world you live in, or rather, the civilization of Earth, does have its merits in terms of technology.

That's all. Not to mention me, any Saint-level being on this ground could easily slaughter you all.

And you, who are utterly useless on Earth—bad at studies, socially inept, mediocre at sports, even afraid to face the girl you like—what do you call that in your world? Oh, a big loser.

The Demon King immediately launched into a rap in English.
