Setting aside the differences in mana, there weren't any actual physical differences between Demon Kings and the average human. Although Demon King candidates would usually move to the demon realm shortly after the Demon King's Power had chosen them, they didn't need to grow unique organs to process the demon realm's polluted mana like the demons did. Instead, they relied on the Demon King's Power to handle this process.

Hence, when Alice injected Miriya's soul into the Living Wood figurine, the figurine's surface instantly changed from a hard, wooden texture into a smooth, fleshy texture resembling real human skin. Now, this Living Wood figurine was essentially the same as Andusia. However, unlike Andusia, the remnant soul in the Living Wood figurine wasn't self-conscious, so it couldn't take independent action like Andusia.

"Oh, Miriya, work hard in taking my place as a figurine."

After finally receiving liberation, Andusia couldn't help but laugh when she saw Alice putting the Living Wood figurine into the glass cabinet she previously occupied. Although Miriya's remnant soul no longer possessed a consciousness, it didn't stop Andusia from making fun of her.

This also showed just how much Andusia hated her current figurine body. Or, more specifically, Andusia hated the people who had turned the block of Living Wood her soul inhabited into a figurine.

If it wasn't for those people treating the Living Wood as an ordinary block of wood and carved it into the shape of Magical Girl Hikari, Andusia could have had the option of choosing her own appearance. Even if her soul needed to stay in the Living Wood, she could have carved it into a miniature version of her original self, at the very least. While it might not have been ideal, it was much better than taking on the appearance of the protagonist of a children's anime.

Moreover, because of her soul inhabiting a Hikari figurine, Andusia was already close to forgetting what she originally looked like. Now, whenever she spoke or thought about herself, the first image that would pop up in her mind was Magical Girl Hikari's appearance. Whenever she saw images of Magical Girl Hikari, she wo…
