Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

The only thing that can be done is to find the thieves who abused Alice in order to clear his name of the crime.

The captain originally wanted to hold Duke Dustinis accountable, but unfortunately, his status was too low, and he didn't even have the right to interrogate him, let alone arrest him.

Alice looked down at the ring finger of her left hand, lost in thought.

Darkness paced back and forth in the Lord's Villa of Aldap, not far from the Dustinis Mansion.

Mo Li was getting annoyed by her pacing and couldn't help but advise her:

"I'm talking about Darkness. Don't worry too much. On the bright side, I haven't revealed my identity, have I?"

"Aaaaaah... How dare you say that? This is practically the same as being exposed! You killed two royal attendants, insulted a princess, and disrupted a banquet..."

"Tch, who told her to act so arrogant? Did you see her kneeling on the ground begging and apologizing? It was so satisfying, wasn't it?"

Darkness gripped her hair with both hands, becoming even more frantic after hearing Mo Li's words.

Wiz patted Darkness on the shoulder, comforting her:

"It's alright, Darkness. The Southern Empire will belong to the Demon King's army sooner or later anyway, so there's no need to care about temporary fame."

"That's not what I'm worried about! Why do you guys always make these weird connections?"

"Alright, consider this ring compensation to you, and you can keep all the money from selling it."

Mo Li threw the stolen ring directly to Darkness; it looked like a valuable item no matter how you looked at it.

After observing carefully, Darkness broke out in a cold sweat and stared intently at Mo Li.

Mo Li frowned, feeling as if those eyes were about to devour him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You should accept the Demon King's gift with gratitude, okay? Stop being picky."

"Why did you have to take this ring of all things? You've really gotten yourself into big trouble!"

"Oh? Is there anything different about this ring?"

Seeing the changes in Darkness's expression, Mo Li became interested and sat up straight, quickly asking.

Darkness, her face contorted with unbearable sorrow, sighed and explained to Mo Li:

"This is a ring that the royal family of the Southern Empire has always worn close to their bodies since childhood. It is only taken off when they are engaged and given to their future partner."

"There's something else going on. I took this ring, which means..."

"Don't even think about it. This country has a custom that the hero who defeats the Demon King can get a reward, which is the right to marry the princess. So usually only the hero can have this opportunity."

"That's not necessarily true. The Demon King and the Princess sound like a match made in heaven."

Mo Li smiled, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. He wasn't the kind of man who would casually offer a kiss.

Like Eris, Mo Li also planted a demonic seed within Alice.

When the time is right, Mo Li will catalyze her to become a demon. So what if she is a descendant of a hero? From now on, he will make sure that this world is only inhabited by the descendants of the Demon King.

Time quickly came to the day of the Eris Festival, and Mo Li led the group to the capital.

Because it is said that the goddess Eris will descend this year, the festival is being held with even greater solemnity and festivities.

This is exactly what Mo Li hoped for; only when Eris's faith collapses can she fall into becoming a true demon.

The Eris Festival lasts for three days, and Moli plans to bring Eris down on the third day.

"Dear residents of the capital who have been eagerly awaiting this day, are you all ready? Now, I hereby declare the Eris Thanksgiving Festival officially open!"

"Ughh ...

The announcement of the start of the event, broadcast through the megaphone magic device, resounded throughout the entire royal capital.

At the same time, various magical spells flew into the sky as if celebrating the start of the festival, and cheers that were just as powerful as the magic erupted on the ground.

Mo Li led Darkness and the others down the street. For some reason, after the humiliation at the banquet, the kingdom did not issue any arrest warrants for Mo Li and the others.

This matter is, after all, a disgrace to the royal family, and the higher-ups do not want it to escalate, especially since it involves the Dustinis family.

Christians from all over gathered in the capital, and adventurers, merchants, and ordinary people could be seen everywhere.

The closer you get to the commercial area, the more people there are.

A large banner was hung at the entrance of the royal capital's commercial district, with the words "Goddess Alice Thanksgiving Festival" written in large characters.

The streets were lined with stalls, and the place was bustling and lively.

As Mo Li walked in the middle of the road, she actually felt a hint of the atmosphere of a modern temple fair.

As I continued walking, I saw a large group of people gathered together, occasionally letting out exclamations of admiration.

Driven by curiosity, Mo Li squeezed into the crowd and spotted a very familiar blue figure.

"Alright, now take a look at this ordinary-looking handkerchief I've taken out. You'll be surprised when you see it—pigeons will fly out from underneath!"

As she spoke, Aqua unfolded a handkerchief for the audience to see, then waved it in the air, and a flock of more than a hundred pigeons flew out.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

"Wow, that's amazing! I didn't sense any magical fluctuations, and it wasn't a summoning spell. That's incredible!"

The audience below applauded and celebrated, throwing their reward money onto the stage.

But Aqua solemnly declined the reward, patted her chest, and loudly declared:

"Ah, no need for tips. I'm not a street performer, so please don't tip 867."

"No, no, no, no, donations are welcome! Aqua, you idiot, why wouldn't you take money if it's available!"

Kazuma Sato popped out from the side and pocketed all the tips.

Huihui watched the two arguing and couldn't help but rub her forehead. She knew things would turn out this way; she was used to it.

Just as Huihui was about to step forward and separate the two, she suddenly noticed Mo Li on the other side and was stunned.

Huihui blushed as she recalled what Mo Li had done to her. She was about to confront him when she realized that Mo Li had already left and disappeared.

"Alright, now, after I count to three, this whole bunch of bottled potions will vanish without a trace, not a single one left..."

Aqua began a new round of performances, making a fortune at the Eris Festival.

When Mo Li saw that it was Sato Kazuma and his group, he lost interest and turned his attention to other stalls.

Suddenly, Mo Li seemed to remember something and quickly pulled the others to an empty, deserted spot.

Since the plan doesn't start until the third day anyway, I might as well use this time to spend some quality time with my family.

With that in mind, Mo Li used the Demon King's aura to directly communicate with his familiars, teleporting Kotori, Shiori, Tohka, and the others who were in the Demon King's castle to his side.

The elves were caught off guard by the sudden teleportation, and only calmed down when they saw Mo Li.

"Seriously, is there something you need that's calling us over in such a hurry?"

"My beloved family, let our date begin!"

Chapter 319 Eris, you wouldn't want your followers to die here, would you?

In the two days leading up to the festival, Mo Li accompanied his family members to enjoy all the entertainment activities.

On the third day of the festival, besides the grand finale fireworks display, the most anticipated event is the descent of the goddess Eris.

On this day, people put down their work and gathered in Eris Square, looking like devout believers.

Meanwhile, Eris, whom they longed for, was being ravaged by the Demon King.

The rest of the family members had already quietly gone to the front line, concealing themselves and awaiting Mo Li's orders.

Inside the Divine Might Space, Eris lay paralyzed on the ground, with red marks appearing on her body.

Mo Li sat to the side, gazing at her masterpiece with delight, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's almost time, Eris, it's your turn to make your appearance!"

"Don't even think about it! I absolutely will not help you, Demon King!"

"Tch, that's not up to you. Besides, I wouldn't mind doing a live broadcast in front of your followers."

"You...you demon...!"

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Eris's face instantly turned red, but unfortunately, she had no strength left in her body.

Seeing this, Mo Li put her hand on her chin. Looking at it this way, she figured even the believers wouldn't believe that this was the real goddess Eris.

To ensure the plan's success, Mo Li slowly stepped forward, channeling a portion of his magic into Eris and temporarily sealing off the demonic seed's erosion.

Looking at her like this, she does look like a goddess, and those people should believe it now.

"Go out and see your followers. This may be the last time you see them as a goddess."

"Demon King, your plan will not succeed! Don't even think about harming my followers!"

"Eris, you don't want all your followers to die here, do you? Just do as I say!"

Mo Li had lost patience and her tone became increasingly impatient.

Eris could tell from Mo Li's eyes that he was truly going to do it, and that he had the ability to do so.

Looking out from the Divine Might Space, the followers of the Eris Order were gathered below the goddess statue, kneeling on the ground with their hands clasped tightly, praying something.

A transparent cloud is falling from the sky, shattering all the surrounding clouds.

The believers, seeing this strange phenomenon, thought it was a sign of the goddess's arrival and began to chant the name of Eris.

But only Eris knew that it was not a sign of a goddess's descent at all; it was a spacequake, powerful enough to kill all the believers present.

"I...I understand. Take your power back. I'll do as you say!"

Eris looked down at the devout believers, unable to bear seeing them die.

Even knowing it was Mo Li's trap, she was still determined to step into it without hesitation, because she was a goddess.

Seeing this, Mo Li slowly withdrew her hand and made way for Eris.

Eris looked at Mo Li with a slightly complicated expression, then stepped out of the Divine Might Space. A holy white light appeared on her body as she slowly descended.

"The goddess Eris has descended!"

"Tch, what's with the attitude? Why is everyone willing to believe she's a goddess, but nobody believes me?"

The nearby cultists glared angrily at Aqua, which startled Kazuma so much that he quickly covered Aqua's mouth.

After the brief incident, Eris landed atop her own statue, looking down at the believers before her, and also saw Aqua being dragged away by Kazuma.

Eris was about to ask Aqua for help when she suddenly remembered that Moli was still watching her, so she could only watch her leave.

Just then, a priest dressed in priestly robes stepped forward, bowed, and prayed:

"Lord Eris, please bestow your blessings upon your followers!"

"Okay, okay!"

Eris slowly closed her eyes, raised her hand, and just as she was about to perform a miracle, a black light suddenly shot out from her palm, enveloping the priest in front of her.

Then the priest's face began to corrode, and he screamed as he collapsed to the ground, quickly losing his breath.

Some adventurers, upon seeing this, quickly recognized that it was a curse.

For a moment, everyone looked up at Eris, their eyes filled with disbelief. A goddess could actually be cursed by the demons and even kill the priest who respected her the most.

Before Eris could explain, Mo Li activated the demonic seed within her.

A violent aura emanated from Eris's body, and a demonic eye appeared on her forehead—the mark of the Demon King Moli.

In the presence of the faithful, demonic wings sprouted from Eris's back, her eyes turned blood red, the sky and earth turned black, and thunder rumbled intermittently.

A goddess of her generation thus fell and became a demon.

The surrounding residents began to scatter and flee, while the adventurers stared at Eris before them, unsure of what to do.

Just as Aqua was about to step forward to check the situation, Mo Li blocked her way.

"I'm not letting you ruin my plans. If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here!"

"He's just a demon king, Kazuma. Hurry up, it's your turn to perform."

"Shut up, you idiot, don't drag me into this!"

Kazuma Sato was hiding perfectly well when Aqua exposed him, leaving him looking utterly devastated.

Mo Li narrowed his eyes, proving that he had already harbored murderous intent, staring intently at the two people in front of him.

"There's no other way, Aqua, we have to use that move."
