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

Pushing open the gates leading to the palace, Alice sat on the throne, quietly awaiting Mo Li's arrival.

Mo Li closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings, but he couldn't detect the presence of Sato Kazuma and Aqua. It seemed they had already run away.

After seeing Mo Li, Alice slowly stood up and looked at him with a very complicated expression.

This man who stole her first kiss, took the ring that should have belonged to her fiancé, killed her father and brother, and was a sinner who destroyed the Southern Empire...

"I didn't expect you to be the Demon King. That means that Lalatina... no, the Dustinis family knew your true identity all along and chose to betray you, right!"

"How clever, Alice, it's just a pity you guessed it a little too late."

"Give me back my ring before the final battle; it's not something you can have!"

"Sorry, I don't have a habit of returning 5.2 people. Also, to correct you, you are not qualified to fight me."

Mo Li chuckled lightly. At his last gasp, he still dared to dream of a decisive battle with him. He was truly courting death.

Alice was not angered by Mo Li's words. Seeing that she could not get her things back, she just sighed slightly.

"It's alright, we're all going to die eventually anyway, Mo Li. After I kill you, I'll come and join you!"

"Heh, don't be so sure of yourself. There are countless people in the world who want me dead. What makes you think I'm definitely going to die by your hand!"

Mo Li snorted coldly, and his Mangekyou Sharingan began to spin.

Alice smiled, walked slowly forward, gently stroked Mo Li's face, and said:

"Perhaps this is fate. As a descendant of a hero, I am destined to meet such an end."

"What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. Become you—!"

Chapter 323 The Fall of the Southern Empire, Alice's Despair

The necklace emitted a dazzling light, and Alice felt a wave of dizziness. When she opened her eyes, the exchange was already complete.

Feeling the immense magical power and boundless strength within her, Alice felt a surge of comfort.

This is the Demon King's body. As long as you kill yourself in front of him, this exchange will never stop.

Mo Li suddenly entered Alice's body, and to his surprise, Alice was not as weak as he had imagined; in fact, she was stronger than all the adventurers he had ever met.

Having such great abilities, it's a complete waste to keep them in the royal city.

"Next, all I need to do is kill you and disband the Demon King's army, and everything will be fine!"

"Heh, good, I'd like to test the strength of your body too."

Mo Li took a stance, tore her dress, grabbed a sword, and stared intently at Alice.

Because of the short time available, Alice has not yet mastered all of Mo Li's abilities and can only engage in close combat with him.

During the battle, Mo Li was constantly at a disadvantage, as his strength, speed, and other physical attributes could not match his original body.

In a moment of carelessness, Alice seized the opportunity and pierced through his chest, causing his eyes to gradually lose their luster.

Looking at her own corpse, Alice's face was filled with complicated emotions, but she still hardened her heart and cut off her head.

"Don't worry, I won't let you travel alone. I'll be there to join you soon!"

After doing all this, Alice quickly headed to the center of the royal capital to stop the Demon King's army from advancing further.

However, this did not elicit their gratitude; instead, they saw it as a tactic by the Demon King to win over the people.

Alice didn't want to explain further and continued towards the gathering place of the Demon King's army officers.

"Oh dear, Mo Lijun, have you become so heartless now? You don't even greet people when you see them!"

"I'm sorry, I had something important to do, so I didn't notice you."

Kurumi narrowed her eyes at the way she addressed herself as "Mo Li," instantly sensing that something was amiss.

The aura emanating from "Mo Li" was his own. Seeing this, Kuang San rolled her eyes and tentatively asked:

"Mo Li Jun, didn't you say you were going to discuss something with Kuang San? What happened?"

"Ah, that matter, it's been almost settled. I have other important things to attend to, so I'll have to talk to you later."

Alice was reluctant to talk to her, afraid of revealing herself. After all, their bodies had been switched, but their memories hadn't been. She didn't even know who the person in front of her was.

However, it was precisely because of that one sentence that she completely exposed that she was not Mo Li.

Kurumi pulled out a pistol and pointed it at "Mo Li's" forehead. At the same time, she summoned other clones to block "Mo Li's" escape route.

Alice looked at Kurumi in front of her and felt a sudden panic in her heart, but she still tried to remain calm on the surface.

"What are you doing? Are you planning a rebellion?"

"Oh dear, you imposter demon king, your acting is really terrible."

"W-What are you saying? I don't understand. I, as the Demon King, command you to get out of my way!"

"Mo Lijun wouldn't emphasize that he's the Demon King, you imposter!"

Kurumi's forehead lit up with a demonic eye mark, signaling the news to her other familiars.

Alice hadn't expected to be exposed so easily, so she decided to go all the way and kill the person in front of her.

Thinking of this, Alice stopped arguing, drew her sword, and attacked Kurumi.

Kurumi immediately pulled the trigger, and bullets rained down upon her.

Alice remained calm, leaping into the air to dodge all the incoming bullets, and then slashed at Kurumi's head.

Seeing this, Kurumi activated her first bullet, teleported behind Alice, and pulled the trigger again.

The bullet struck Alice squarely in the back, but her body was no longer made of flesh and blood; the bullet only left a small bullet hole.

"As expected of the Demon King's body, then I have no more worries!"

Kurumi grasped the key words in Alice's words, narrowed her eyes, and seemed to know some secret.

Just as Alice was about to end Kurumi's life, Origami and Tohka arrived at the scene, blocking Alice's sword with a look of confusion on their faces.

"Mo Li, why are you... no, no... you're not Mo Li—!"

"He has Mo Li's aura, but his inner self is completely different. Is he under some kind of otherworldly magic?"

Origami saw through Alice's true nature at a glance, proving she was indeed the one who understood Mo Li's body best.

Just then, the other family members arrived and surrounded Alice.

"Kurumi, you said there was a fake Mo Li, is that him? He really looks exactly the same!"

"Erya, don't get too close, this guy is dangerous!"

"It's alright, it's alright, Kotori, let me investigate this guy's true colors."

After Erya finished speaking, he summoned the Whispering Scroll and began searching for information about the person in front of him.

After the search was completed, a sudden change occurred. Black energy began to emanate from Erya's body, and her eyes turned blood red.

Upon seeing this, Kotori recognized the scene as the reversal and quickly stepped forward to ask:

"Erya, what exactly happened? Who is this person in front of us...?"

"He...killed Mo Li!"

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Tohka was the first to be reversed, followed by Origami, Miku, Yoshino, Kotori, the Yamai sisters, Miku, Nanami, and Kurumi, who all became reversed versions of themselves.

The elves intended to attack Alice, but due to the restraint of their familiars, they were unable to harm the Demon King.

What happened next made Alice regret making such a decision.

The capital was destroyed, and none of the city's inhabitants survived; the flames burned for several days.

Other areas of the Southern Empire also suffered devastating blows. As far as the eye could see, there was no sign of life except for corpses, as if one were the only person left in the world.

Alice asked herself honestly, is this what I wanted? I've harmed the people, the country, and myself.

She seemed to hear countless insults and hatred directed at her, and that she was the one who caused this to happen.

Tormented by her inner turmoil, Alice began to regret her decision. If only she hadn't uttered that spell, this wasn't the outcome she wanted.

Filled with regret, self-blame, and guilt, Alice ultimately chose to commit suicide.

When she woke up again, Alice looked around in surprise. It was the same familiar room, the same familiar people, as if nothing had happened.

Mo Li smiled as he watched the expression on Alice's face; he had seen everything within the illusion.

That's right, Alice had already fallen under Mo Li's illusion long before she uttered the spell.

"Welcome back, Alice. How are you feeling?"

"Didn't you already...? Or was everything just a hallucination?"

"I merely simulated the scene after you killed me. So, did you achieve your goal? Was the Southern Empire saved after my death?"

Faced with Mo Li's question, Alice slowly lowered her head, her hand holding the necklace trembling slightly.

Tears streamed down her face, making her look like a pear blossom in the rain, a sight that evoked pity in anyone who saw her.

Mo Li didn't press the matter further. He stepped forward, stroked Alice's head, and asked softly:

"If you are willing to join my Demon King's army and help me win over the hearts of the people, I can promise you that I will not kill them!"

"Really? Are you telling the truth?"

Alice quickly wiped away her tears, looked up, and stared nervously at Mo Li, afraid that he would change his mind.

Mo Li smiled and nodded, and besides, a country that was just an empty shell was not what he wanted.

"I, Belzeg Stelish Sord Alice, swear that I will join the Demon Lord's army and serve by the Demon Lord's side. If I break this oath... mmm mmm..."

Upon hearing Alice's vow, Mo Li shook his head and kissed her forcefully.

Chapter 324 Megumin's Great Crisis, Evil God Warbak

With the help of Duke Dustinis and Alice, the Demon King's army quickly took control of the capital.

As agreed with Alice, Mo Li did not massacre civilians; he only targeted adventurers.

In order to stabilize the current situation, Mo Li specially took charge of the capital and began a series of paperwork that lasted for several weeks.

However, with the help of Duke Dustinis and Alice, and with Mori bringing in Kotori and Nia to assist, the mountain of documents was quickly processed.

Good news also came from various places: after the fall of the capital, many lords declared their allegiance.

Of course, there were also resistance forces composed of adventurers, but they were all suppressed by the Demon King's army led by Esdeath.

The Eris Order announced its closure and shutdown, with a large number of members choosing to leave the organization.

Some of the believers who lost their faith converted to the Axis order, while others joined the resistance.

Royal Capital, the Demon King's Army Garrison Base.

Mo Li sat in the head seat, signed a few documents, threw the pen aside, stood up and stretched.

This was a thousand times more tiring than fighting; I really don't know how Kotori managed to get through it.

Just then, Erya walked in with a slightly serious expression and nodded to Mo Li.

"Something's wrong, kid! The Demon King's outpost has been attacked, and we've lost contact with them!"

"What did you say? The rebels again?"

Mo Li immediately stood up. The outpost was where Esdeath had stationed her troops on the border of the Southern Empire. After entering the capital, it was used as a supply base.

More importantly, Eris and Megumin were imprisoned there, under the care of Darkness.

Now that they've lost contact with the other side, Mo Li couldn't sit still any longer and immediately prepared to head to the outpost.

"No, it's not a rebel army. I heard it's a group of demons who have their eyes on that place."

"Demons? Don't they know that's my territory?"

"I don't know. I guess they want to take advantage of your busy time in the capital to quickly occupy that place. After all, it's common for demons to annex each other."

Upon hearing Er Ya's words, Mo Li's face instantly darkened. No demon had ever dared to provoke him before.

Thinking of this, Mo Li immediately decided to go alone. He wanted to see who had such audacity.

"Niya, I'll leave this place to you for now. I'm going to support Darkness!"

Erya nodded; she understood the seriousness of the situation.

Mo Li summoned the Sealing Master, which opened a portal in the air, and walked straight into it.
