Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Demon World, Eternal City.

All around the massive circular plaza, various emblem stones stood tall, countless points of light slowly landed on the stones.

The light disappeared, one by one, small winged figures surrounded the plaza, sitting atop the monument stones.

These little figures looked the same as the fairies in All Things Library, although their attire was significantly different. They wore uniform silver-gray work clothes, with hammers, wrenches, and various strange tools hanging around their waists, looking more like craftsmen shrunk to the size of an egg.

Where their gazes were focused, stood a robust young man with a green face and horns on his forehead. The youth wore a giant mechanical glove on his left hand, and his unique armor radiated a fierce technological aura.

Beside the youth stood a petite girl with bull-like horns, only half the height of the youth from the Ghost Clan, her ears drooped resembling a mix between cow ears and goblin ears.

Suddenly, a fist-sized ball of light flew across the emblem-covered monument stones.

Upon seeing this light, all the Delicate Fairy Clan saluted with respect.

The ball of light flew next to the Ghost Clan youth, spitting out a table tennis-sized green orb,

”This is the secret treasure crafted by our clan, please use it wisely.”

With his left hand extended, the Ghost Clan youth flawlessly slotted the green orb into the recess of the mechanical glove, the green light gushed from the recess, spreading along the patterns on the mechanical arm to every part of the mechanical glove, leaving trails of green-blue marks.

His fingers lightly glided in the air, revealing all the information about the mechanical glove in front of the Ghost Clan youth.

After confirming the weapon’s evolution degree, the Ghost Clan youth swiped his hand, switching the system interface to the task interface, and clicked the complete button on the task panel.

The rewards obtained from tasks in Eternal City just filled the gap in the Ghost Clan youth’s experience bar, leveling him up.

Switching the interface again, his personal attributes expanded in front of him:

Evaluation: With a little effort, becoming one of the Demon King Four Heavenly Kings isn’t just a dream.]

It’s been over half a year since he cleared that relic, and Gao Yuanyi’s level has grown from Lv.82 to lv.147, and his attributes have more than doubled.

This half-year growth has far exceeded his past three years of effort.

Starting is always the hardest part, just like in many games. But once a person’s strength breaks through a certain point and they find a reliable way to defeat opponents, their strength starts to soar.

Gao Yuanyi and his partner Wei roamed the ancient relic for two months.

During those two months, Gao Yuanyi faced setback after setback, experiencing failure time and again.

Ultimately, by leveraging various secondary professions he acquired, he devised a strategy to conquer the relic, plundering massive Experience from the ancient relic and successfully obtaining this glove of ancient legend.

Through a series of training, Gao Yuanyi earned the recognition of the legendary glove, Laplace, and under its guidance, came to this Eternal City where the Delicate Fairy Clan resides, solved their internal issues, completed various trials, and procured the tool that enables Laplace’s full awakening, the Core of Victory Drive.

With this item, all of Laplace’s active general cooldown reduces to one second, the number of overload usages for prolonged use rises from three to ten, and the continuous usage of the same skill increases from two to three.

Gao Yuanyi could assert that this equipment has surpassed legends, deserving to be called a true Divine Artifact.

”Thank you, Director. I will definitely maximize the use of this piece.”

Having obtained the necessary item, there was no need to stay any longer. Gao Yuanyi, accompanied by Wei, bid farewell to the Delicate Fairy Clan and together passed through the teleportation array back to the end of a dark cave.

The items left behind by Gao Yuanyi and his team had gathered a thick layer of dust.

Looking around and ensuring no one was there, Gao Yuanyi couldn’t help but laugh:

”Finally, I have the capital to challenge the Demon King.

Soon, the gate to another world will open.

Just watch how I operate, and during this period, replace him to become the new Demon King and lead everything.

Thinking about the old Demon King’s surprised expression, my heart is filled with excitement.”

Cautiously brushing the dust off the items, Wei bundled up the still usable things and threw them into Storage Magic, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes,

”Yuanyi, I don’t think just upgrading the weapon will be enough to break through the Demon King’s layers of defense.

His ranks are filled with countless powerful staff, and the two Heavenly Kings, known as the strongest ’spear’ and ’shield’, are not to be trifled with.

With just us... if they entangle us, being attacked from front and back, it could be catastrophic.”

”I am fully aware of that.

But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if missed here, it won’t come again.

I have all the plans figured out.

From the beginning, our target was only the Demon King himself.

About a month later, the Demon King will be attending the Snow Woman clan’s festival for his deceased wife, he goes every year and this time will be no exception.

His subordinates will be stationed nearby for protection, we can find a way to distract them.

Many people are dissatisfied with the current Demon King, joining forces with them will create enough time for us to defeat the Demon King and take over.”

Gao Yuanyi was full of confidence, assured.

Wei was anxious, as they were about to face the Demon King,

”Although many are dissatisfied with the Demon King’s rule, in the current societal environment, can we really persuade them to help us?”

Gao Yuanyi laughed: ”I will use my excellent negotiation skills to negotiate with them, if that doesn’t work, I have a plan B.”

Wei tilted her head slightly, asking curiously: ”What is the plan B?”

Clenching the right hand while releasing the left, Gao Yuanyi chuckled: ”That naturally is, if they disagree, then use fists to negotiate! What do you say, Laplace?”

A golden twin-tailed fairy-sized girl emerged from the glove named Laplace, crossed her legs sitting in Gao Yuanyi’s palm, pouted and said:

”Finally, got the enhancement I desired and acquired some new skills...

I wanted to test the power of those skills, but as I am a secret weapon, don’t just bring me out casually.

You fight if you want!”
