70: Things are getting more complicated

Black Flame · Heaven Fight Cross Slash!

Swish! A cross-shaped sword light flashed.

A giant cross made of black flames pierced through space, striking Jerome.

The enormous cross split him into four pieces.

The terrifying black flames ignited on him the next moment.

"Ah!!! I..." Jerome screamed in agony, seemingly wanting to say something, but he didn't get the chance to finish. He was incinerated by the black flames, turning into dust.

A Demon King, thus fell.

"Dea...dead?!"

Countless people witnessed this scene; a Demon King was killed just like that!

And it was a Demon King who had revealed his true form! He was killed without any power to fight back...

"Jerome is dead, huh~" The Slit-Eyed Demon King saw this scene, and his tone seemed to carry a hint of schadenfreude.

"Oh!!!" The human side roared with excitement, a Demon King had died!

This powerful individual must be here to help them!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed a Demon King as soon as he arrived!

Human morale soared.

And with the fall of a Demon King, the monsters panicked.

Several Demon King Speciess were also killed at this time.

The situation was excellent!

"Let's retreat! This battle is a failure~" The Slit-Eyed Demon King said with a smile, "Oh dear! It was too terrifying! Truly too terrifying!"

Although the Muscle Demon King had no "brains" and often spoke of the Slit-Eyed Demon King, it was clear that their relationship was very good. He listened to the Slit-Eyed Demon King for all major decisions.

Following the orders of the Slit-Eyed Demon King and the Muscle Demon King, this war came to an end.

More than half of the remaining Demon King Speciess left, and the tide-like monsters also retreated.

In this battle, humanity suffered heavy losses, but the Demon King Army suffered even heavier losses.

Countless monsters died, and more than a dozen Demon King Speciess were left behind, with one Demon King also dead.

On the human side, the high-level combatants were injured but none died. However, there were many casualties among the lower-ranking soldiers, and the city walls were basically Waste, needing to be rebuilt.

"Hello! Black... uh... Savior Apostle!" King Wayne Hossman approached Clarissa, "Thank you for your information and support!"

Clearly, Wayne Hossman was expressing gratitude for Clarissa's earlier message and her current assistance.

"Hmm... no need. You've seen the current situation; humanity's plight isn't good!" Clarissa said to Wayne Hossman, "You've also witnessed the true power of the Demon Kings! Not all Demon Kings are the same! The difference between them is beyond your imagination!"

"Hmm..." Wayne Hossman nodded. Leaving aside the Slit-Eyed Demon King and the Muscle Demon King for today, the power Jerome displayed was dozens of times stronger than any Demon King they had encountered before!

Wayne Hossman looked at Clarissa with a complicated expression.

Even so, such a powerful existence was cleanly cut down by the person in front of him.

"Hmm, if possible, how about we chat?" Clarissa said to Wayne Hossman.

"No problem!" Wayne Hossman nodded. Other matters would naturally be handled by others; as king, he only needed to oversee the overall situation.

After giving a few instructions to his subordinates, Wayne Hossman said to Clarissa, "Your Excellency, let's go. We'll talk in the conference hall! It's quiet there."

"No problem!" Clarissa nodded. She turned her head and glanced into the distance.

On a distant cliff, the Slit-Eyed Demon King was half-crouching on the edge, with the somewhat bored Muscle Demon King standing behind him.

The Slit-Eyed Demon King still held a small fan to cover half his face with one hand, and waved his other hand towards Clarissa, seemingly greeting her.

The other party "saw" her! Clarissa saw the other party's actions and knew that the other party must be looking at her.

However... such behavior... the other party's actions were a bit strange... Clarissa didn't know what was going on with this Demon King. It didn't seem like he was "single-minded" towards the Demon God?

Now was not the time to think about these things. Clarissa nodded slightly and followed Wayne Hossman away.

"Tsk tsk~" The Slit-Eyed Demon King looked at the departing Clarissa, "tsk"ed twice, and slowly stood upright.

"What's wrong? Is it over?" The somewhat bored Muscle Demon King said to the Slit-Eyed Demon King.

"Our turning point should have arrived... It seems the plan needs major changes! This is even better, saving worry and effort... and the success rate is also higher..." The Slit-Eyed Demon King said with a smile, "Ah~ I really miss the old days~"

"......" The Muscle Demon King remained silent behind him, "So what exactly is the situation?"

"You'll know when you see it!" The Slit-Eyed Demon King said.

"......" The Muscle Demon King was silent for a moment, "I really hate you riddle-speakers! And you always like to speak in halves!"

"Hahaha~ Since your brain isn't enough, just follow along with peace of mind!" The Slit-Eyed Demon King said with a laugh.

The Muscle Demon King "tsk"ed and stood there with his arms crossed.

"Alright, let's go~ We might even get punished when we go back!" The Slit-Eyed Demon King said with a smile. The losses in this great battle were so great, and a Demon King was killed. The Demon King who died was of above-average strength, so the impact was not small.

"I wonder what kind of reaction it will cause~" The Slit-Eyed Demon King slightly opened his eyes a crack, "I'm so looking forward to it~"

......

Clarissa followed Wayne Hossman to the conference hall.

The entire conference hall was very large and empty, very quiet, with only Wayne Hossman and Clarissa there.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Wayne Hossman asked Clarissa after sitting down.

"It's about the future of the entire world!" Clarissa nodded and sat opposite Wayne Hossman, saying.

Clarissa explained everything, including her origins, and also informed Wayne Hossman about the "Salvation Alliance" formed in the Gewo Principality.

"So you mean... I should join your organization?" Wayne Hossman looked at Clarissa and said.

"This isn't my organization! We all share a common goal, which is to eliminate the Ancient Demon God and save the world from destruction! After that, you can do whatever you want, it's none of my business!" Clarissa said to Wayne Hossman, "The biggest impact right now is this Ancient Demon God! Don't you understand?"

"I know! And then? You've considered too little! Cooperation, everyone can certainly cooperate, but there are still many problems that need to be solved! Moreover, I am an empire, and my scale is not comparable to a small principality! What's more, even if you convince me, there are two other empires! How will you convince them? After so many years of dealings, I know that the kings of the other two empires are very temperamental and 'petty'~ They are much more arrogant than me. Don't look at my territory being the largest; in reality, my resources and strength are all inferior to theirs." Wayne Hossman said to Clarissa.

"This isn't a simple 'cooperation, having a common goal is enough' situation! Even you can't lead them!" Wayne Hossman said to Clarissa, "Human nature is more complex than you think!"

Clarissa truly didn't understand, "But isn't the primary thing... Do you want to wait until the world is destroyed before you unite? Or do you hold onto a lucky until the last moment?"

Wayne Hossman shook his head slightly, "You don't understand!"

"......" Clarissa laughed in exasperation, "Fine! I don't care if you live or die! Anyway, I'll handle it my own way! Alright, goodbye!"

Clarissa stood up, walked out of the conference hall, transformed into a Dragon-Human, and flew away directly.

Wayne Hossman then walked out, looking at the departing Clarissa with a deep gaze, "Sigh! Things are far more complicated than they appear..."
