Why must the devil be Defeated? Chapter 1124: 987: Things That Must Be Tried

Capítulo 1124: Chapter 987: Things That Must Be Tried

Elf Country, Queen’s Palace.

On the corridor leading to the Divine Hall, Shane’s figure appeared suddenly, as if tossed there without warning, staggering a few steps and looking sowhat disheveled.

However, Shane quickly stabilized himself, looked around, and was silent for a long, long ti.

He couldn’t speak, nor did he know what to say, remaining wordless for ages.

After a while, Shane rubbed his temples, showing a weary expression.

“Is this the truth of the past?”

Though the mystery of the Demon King’s war still remained unsolved, just as the Goddess ntioned, Shane vaguely had so guesses in his heart.

But if it really is as he suspects…

“The so-called Demon King is truly too pitiful, right?”

Shane truly did not want to admit that guess.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t be able to resist sympathizing with that person.

It was almost clear why that Goddess would have him make the choice.

The Goddess wants to see how he views that person, doesn’t she?

After all, Shane is the descendant of the First Generation Brave, who was the most valued friend of the Demon King.

Yet the First Generation Brave was killed by the Demon King, and in such a tragic way, with a very grueso end.

In other words, to so extent, the Demon King is absolutely Shane’s enemy, a mortal enemy.

But…

Shane touched his chest, feeling the power already nad “Supre Authority” by the highest Goddess.

This power contains a portion that belongs to that Demon King.

“To save a dear friend, would you not hesitate to lose half of your own strength?”

This act cannot simply be described as generous.

No, considering the ordeal the Demon King went through, for her, that overwhelmingly strong power was perhaps nothing more than a curse.

Because of this power, she repeatedly destroyed the worlds created by the Goddess, thus provoking the Goddess’s enmity.

Because of this power, she caused her friend to be banned from approaching her, creating nurous conflicts with the summoning Goddess.

Because of this power, she crushed her underpowered friend in a frenzy, leading to the most disastrous outco.

In a way, everything was caused by this excessively powerful strength.

If losing half of this power could save an important friend, for the Demon King, wouldn’t that be a sought-after opportunity?

Given this, can I still view that person rely as an enemy and foe?

What should I ultimately do?

Shane was rarely perplexed.

He could only divert his thoughts, close his eyes, and sink into reflection.

“Since the Demon King lost half of her power long, long ago, does that an, to the world, the unbeatable Demon Clan King has always only shown half of her full strength?”

“Even just half her power is enough to divide the world into three parts, threaten the entire Omni Potanssen, leave the Divine Race and Human Race utterly helpless, and cause countless generations of Transcendental Heroes who challenged her to die in regret?”

“The Demon King’s power is perhaps even more terrifying than I imagined.”

If Shane knew Artemis once faced the Demon King, and fled in panic before even starting to fight, he’d have a deeper understanding of the Demon King’s strength.

Then…

“Is Danass planning to revive such a person?”

Shane exhaled.

He was still sowhat bewildered.

He wasn’t quite sure how exactly to act yet.

But he vaguely harbored a desire.

— “If I have the chance, I’d truly wish to see those two again.” —

This thought beca the sole voice in Shane’s heart at that very mont.

Thinking of this, Shane opened his eyes.

Upon opening them, Shane noticed.

Soone was standing in front of him.

“Are you thinking about sothing?”

Lasha had appeared before Shane at so unknown ti, standing gracefully, poised beautifully, with her gaze fixed on Shane’s face, ruby eyes reflecting unfathomable thoughts.

Looking at the familiar maid, in a trance, Shane seed to see another person behind this face.

A black-haired, red-eyed demon girl.

Behind this face, who would have guessed how many untold stories it hid, how much unseen sadness?

As he thought of this, Shane involuntarily reached out his hand, touching Lasha’s face.

The delicate and elastic touch of her refined cheek instantly pressed against his palm.

“…Master?”

Lasha was stunned for a mont.

Even soone as formidable as her likely hadn’t expected Shane to suddenly make such a gesture, right?

Moreover, Shane’s touch was so gentle, his gaze filled with deep compassion, causing Lasha’s heart to tremble and a strange, indefinable emotion to arise within her.

Undoubtedly, no one had ever looked at her with such eyes.

And undoubtedly, no one had ever treated her so gently, so compassionately.

Although Laischa also cherished Lasha, it was rely a matter of cherishing; he’d never inexplicably feel compassion or act so tenderly and gently towards her.

And naturally, Lasha had never had deep interactions with others. Due to her background, she had been treated as a high-priority offender like Laischa for the past ten years, respected and kept at arm’s length.

Thus, this experience was a first for Lasha.

Additionally, since the person was Shane, Lasha remained silent for a long ti, until she finally reached out and touched Shane’s cheek.

Feeling the cool softness of that jade-like hand on his cheek, Shane finally snapped back to reality.

“Sorry, I lost my composure.”

Shane withdrew his hand and apologized to Lasha.

Lasha shook her head, also withdrawing her own hand, and her expression returned to its usual calmness.

Of course, whether her heart was as calm as her deanor, only she would know.

“Were you thinking about sothing just now?”

Lasha asked the question once more.

“…Hmm.” Shane was silent for a mont, then nodded, saying, “I was considering sothing that’s not quite like —sothing that doesn’t quite fit my style.”

“…Is that so?” Lasha also fell silent for a mont, then looked directly at Shane and said, “Have you figured it out?”

“Not yet,” Shane replied honestly. “Although it concerns greatly, I’m not the party involved. I still haven’t unraveled the tangle, nor do I know what role I should play in this convoluted entanglent.”

This was Shane’s current honest thought, his genuine feeling.

Even though he had always pursued the truth, now with much of the mystery unraveled, Shane’s heart was still agitated by this sudden, astonishing revelation.

Especially his own origin, which left Shane uncertain about how to proceed.

He still hadn’t fully regained his past mories, only recalling so deeply ingrained fragnts.

So Shane’s current feeling was quite unreal.

Initially, he thought he was just an ordinary Otherworldly person, fortunate enough to have the qualities of a Hero, summoned by Nien to this world, given a second chance at life, and granted the opportunity to live once more in this unfamiliar world as a Hero.

Hence, aside from the initial desire to avoid exposing his identity, preventing the collapse of peace, and avoiding unnecessary trouble, Shane mostly did as he pleased, never demanding much.

Carefree and unfettered, enjoying life when he could, and taking risks when he wanted to.

This was the truest reflection of Shane’s mindset upon arriving in this world.

And indeed, he lived in such a way, having a series of morable experiences in just under a year.

Who would have thought that his origin would conceal such a secret?

He wasn’t rely lucky to possess the qualities of a Hero or fortunate to be granted a second chance at life, but was born as a Hero, inheriting the title and power of a Hero.

His summoning to this world was evidently a predetermined result, not a random stroke of good luck.

From the mont of his birth, he was indelibly linked with this world, forming inseparable bonds with the two highest beings in this world.

Furthermore, his mother, the First Generation Brave, a figure of utmost importance to the Goddess and the Demon King…

Such a revelation utterly invalidated Shane’s attitude towards life in this world.

It goes without saying, even soone like Shane, who was accustod to the overwhelming flow of information from the internet in his previous life, found it challenging to sort through this imnse amount of information in a short ti.

So how could Shane possibly know what he should do?

But…

“Although I don’t know what role I should play, there’s one thing I really want to try.”

Shane seed to murmur to himself.

“No, it’s sothing I must attempt.”

This was Shane’s only mindset, his only thought at this mont.

Lasha did not react to this, simply looking at Shane, as if trying to see through his inner world. Her ruby eyes were filled with indescribable depth.

Then Lasha uttered a sentence.

“Perhaps, this is destiny.”

Lasha thus expressed.

Shane shook his head.

“This is rely a fateful bond beyond even the reach of destiny.”

That’s how it was.

At least, the concept of destiny could be manipulated by Lidas, the Goddess of Fate, and even intervened in by Luoqi.

But that sorrowful past, not even entities higher and stronger than the Goddess of Fate could control.

Indeed, it was a fateful bond beyond the reach of destiny.

And Shane would challenge this fateful bond.

Or, rather, intervene in this fateful bond.
