"It’s quite simple. To ascend to the Demon King’s Throne, one needs sufficient valor, and the Hero’s head is naturally the greatest feat. Queen Atreus hopes you can take advantage of your proximity to the Hero and provide us with his intelligence; this should be an easy task for you, right?" Vena said with a slight smile.
Helois’s eyes narrowed in an instant. If this had been in the past, she would have certainly shaken her head and refused.
But the current Helois, different from the Snow Woman she was before, had matured a lot. Although she held contempt in her heart, Helois did not reveal her true thoughts.
As for Iyeta, her face was full of mockery. Now, at the ti of need, they finally rembered them?
Where had they been before, without any attempt to rescue their sisters? Truly fitting for Demons.
"What benefits can we gain?"
"Once the Hero is vanquished, Queen Atreus guarantees that the rings controlling you two will be destroyed. From then on, both you and Helois will regain your freedom, no longer enslaved by the Hero. How about it, quite a profitable deal, isn’t it?" Vena boasted confidently.
In Vena’s perspective, Helois and Iyeta being Demons in the presence of the Hero must face countless ridicule, humiliation, and tornt.
Demons will never earn the true trust of humans, and the Hero will never gain the genuine loyalty of Demons.
These two won must be dead set on escaping the Hero’s control. With such a golden opportunity laid before them, they definitely couldn’t refuse.
As long as these two won could provide tily updates on the Hero’s whereabouts, it would be easy to prepare in advance and killing the Hero would not be difficult.
Once the Hero’s body is obtained, Queen Atreus will be the next Demon King.
The Snow Woman and the Blood Elf tribe would naturally reap many benefits as well.
Helois and Iyeta, two stunningly beautiful won, exchanged glances, seeing the odd look in each other’s eyes... Enslaved?
Well, it was technically true.
Qin Chu was their owner, and they were rely his slaves.
But they held no complaints about their current lives, and Qin Chu was definitely not like Diaberlic—he never tortured them... Moreover, due to Qin Chu’s strength and Hero status, even as Demons, they too could command respect. No one in the Imperial City dared be rude to them, even the proud Nobles and Holy n were courteous when eting them.
They enjoyed comfortable large rooms and soft beds for rest, delicious food personally made by Angelica, and even the master’s favor every few days... Their lives lately were actually quite leisurely and comfortable.
Return to living in the Demon Territory, dwell in tree hollows and caves, inhale the dirty, polluted air, and eat half-raw food? As Demons who were once captives of the Hero, they would inevitably be humiliated and bullied by other Demons...
They weren’t fools. Comparing their options, they really couldn’t find the motivation to return to living in the Demon Territory.
Moreover, a Demon’s promise?
That’s even less valuable than the cliché line "the woman I truly love is you."
Even if they truly helped Queen Atreus kill Qin Chu, it was doubtful that the Princess would keep her promise and destroy the rings controlling them.
After all, they too were Demons; no one understood better than they did what kind of creatures Demons were.
However, there was no need to rush the rejection.
Although the master had never said anything, Iyeta always felt that, as maids by the master’s side, it was important to make contributions.
Thinking this, Iyeta’s face suddenly revealed a seductive smile, her radiant beauty even outshining the moon’s original luster: "Sister Vena... I an no disrespect to Queen Atreus, but... the Hero isn’t so easy to deal with."
"You must know, the Hero once snatched the rings controlling us from Diaberlic’s hands. I don’t believe Queen Atreus possesses the power to eliminate the Hero..."
"Perhaps we could employ another thod, such as... first instigating other formidable Demons to attack the Hero, letting the Hero engage in conflict with other Demons. When the ti cos, Queen Atreus could step in to finish the job, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?"
Although Helois was naive, at this mont she too was silent, simply watching Vena intently.
Iyeta’s willingness to talk surprised Vena, but she couldn’t find any fault with Iyeta’s words, as it seed to be the most suitable situation for Princess Atreus as well.
After all, that was the Hero. Although so intelligence suggested that the Hero’s strength was not as formidable as the legends suggested, his reputation was still formidable, and no one dared to underestimate him.
```
If the Hero and the other Demons could first engage each other, causing mutual destruction, then Queen Atreus could erge as the opportunist, successfully taking the Hero’s head while eliminating a slew of potential competitors.
No matter how one looked at it, this strategy was bound to be a resounding victory.
...
Elsewhere.
The sealing by Antia had dissipated.
On the ground, there remained only countless fragnted corpses, and even the Abyss Demon General Korclaf was no exception. The giant Sli, realizing it could not escape, had actually made a desperate gamble to try to swallow Qin Chu whole.
Unfortunately for Korclaf, despite possessing the Power of devouring all things, this Power was like a grandchild eting a grandparent in front of the Gluttony Authority, not worth ntioning at all, and Qin Chu easily ended its life.
More than two hundred powerful Demons had been left without a single survivor, and more than half of them did not even leave behind a broken corpse. All that remained over the once luxurious villa was a muddy pool of blood.
As for those Demons, Qin Chu chose not to consu them. He couldn’t help it, as he still had within his body the Evil God Heart and the Evil God’s Right Leg that he had yet to digest; just these items alone would take several years to assimilate. Qin Chu had no ti to absorb those weaker Demons.
By the ti Qin Chu, Antia, and Violet returned to the palace, they were surprised to discover an additional woman inside... if it wasn’t the long-unseen Daughter of Death, Ireta, then who could it be?
Directly opposite Ireta were the two Shaye, large and small.
The two won who were identical, with not a single discernible difference, now both had their brows deeply furrowed, clearly having heard sothing extraordinary from Ireta.
Upon witnessing Qin Chu’s arrival, the expressions of both beca even more solemn.
This deanor made Qin Chu curious, his suspicious gaze sweeping over the three won: "What’s wrong? You all look very upset."
After all, this was the Dark Witch.
Even if Great Shaye hadn’t fully recovered her strength, she was still an existence so powerful that one would be hard-pressed to find a third competitor across the entire Sky Do Continent. Even now, the Great Shaye possessed combat prowess that was no lesser than that of Ireta and the Pride Witch, Adelina.
He was very curious as to what could have happened to cause both Shaye to show such harsh expressions.
"It’s a clue about a part of the Evil God Remains," Ireta said quietly, her delicate brows also slightly knitted together.
Originally, Ireta didn’t consider it to be much of an issue, but after communication with the two Dark Witches, she too could sense that sothing was amiss.
Ireta knew Qin Chu was collecting the Evil God Remains.
After taking a deep breath, Ireta’s pale cherry lips slowly parted: "My days have not been much different from before, still wandering above the Sky Do Continent, purifying those wandering souls that have passed on."
"However, so ti ago, I sensed a group of extrely evil souls. Pursuing these souls, I reached the deepest parts of a glacier far beyond the Ice Duchy, more than ten thousand miles to the north. The stronghold of those already-twisted souls lies beneath the ice layers of untold thickness, and within that ice, entombed is a large body..."
"It is a torso more majestic than mountain ranges, vast, without limbs, without a head, its heart having been gouged out."
The torso.
That is the largest piece among the eight divided parts of the Evil God Remains.
Ireta had actually found this part and then notified Qin Chu of this fragnt’s existence.
Qin Chu’s heart first felt joy.
However, his brow quickly furrowed deeply.
He now understood exactly what these three won were worried about.
This piece of the Evil God Remains seed to be delivering itself to his door.
Could this be what they call the trajectory of fate?
