The Reborn Demon King Girl

Chapter 317 - 4 The End

After the conversation at night, the journey continues.

It has truly been a very long trip. Gela, Modoh, and Lisidorwei, the three of them have traveled across various races, witnessing all kinds of natural wonders.

Gela realized that in the past, during the journey to defeat the Demon King, she never really looked at these landscapes, and likewise, they also met many people and encountered many things.

Sometimes she would intervene, sometimes they would silently watch, and other times they would take a detour; in Gela’s heart, she still couldn’t find the "answer" she desired.

Where exactly should one search?

She gradually began to believe Modoh’s words: there are no answers, no one can give her an answer.

However, she gained a deeper understanding of the Demon King.

Not from hearing about the Demon King’s deeds from others, but through her interaction with the Demon King, she gained more insight into this being, as if ignorance was unimportant, as if any problem could always be solved, as if always standing on high observing this world... She began to believe that the Demon King’s rule may not be a tyrannical one.

Their journey has already lasted ten years, yet the war still rages on.

Among the various races and countries, there are occasional truces, but most of the time, constant mobilizations and fierce battles occur.

Some famous battles have emerged, new powerful individuals have been born, peace occasionally arrives, but often is extremely brief.

Of course, for Modoh, who had planned for a full two hundred years, this journey has only traversed a short distance. There are still many places he wants to see, to observe the differences from a thousand years ago.

But for Gela, this journey has been long enough.

No one can give her an answer, and Modoh will not give her an answer, so she can only come to a conclusion on her own.

"To what extent has your power recovered?"

Modoh looked at Gela with confusion: "Why ask this question? Is it important to you?"

"Yes."

"My power... has now recovered to about one percent. In another ten years, it should be almost fully restored. It will get faster as time goes on."

He gave his answer, and there was no lie in it; he had little interest in deceiving Gela.

"What if you had your body?"

"In that case, just a few months would be enough. If I could gather my organs directly, I could immediately restore my power."

"Then let’s do that!" Gela suddenly exclaimed words that were quite explosive, leaving Lisidorwei next to her stunned. Was this something she could hear?

Of course, these words did not surprise Modoh.

"So, your final conclusion is that it was better during the Demon King’s rule... right?"

"Yes."

A trace of sadness appeared on the girl’s face: "Perhaps this world needs an absolute ruler, one who possesses enough wisdom, enough knowledge, enough ability. He should understand people’s hearts, he should know everything, and he should be able to change everything—"

"Why don’t you do it yourself?"

"Because I only have power."

"You could use power to command me."

"...Then why not let you have this world? People always care more about what is theirs. The Demon King should be no exception."

Modoh smiled: "It seems you have indeed thought a lot, Gela, do you know what this means?"

"I know."

"Good. Then, let’s act!"

From this moment, the Demon King’s body parts, scattered across various lands, began to be "stolen."

World leaders finally realized something was amiss, and they gathered together to convene a meeting long overdue, called the "Council of Kings," or otherwise known as the meeting of the united races to resist the Demon King.

After all, the last time this meeting was held, it decided resistance against the Demon King.

"The Demon King’s body is being stolen—the Demon King has resurrected."

The Wise King Boguke was the first to express his opinion: "Either that, or someone wants to become the Demon King. Undoubtedly, for the world, this is a catastrophe."

"We were able to defeat the Demon King before, and we can defeat the Demon King now. The Hero is stronger than the Demon King." Charlette stated directly, "There’s no need to be overly concerned about the Demon King’s situation."

"Then Saintess Charlette, do you know the whereabouts of the Hero?"

Charlette shook her head: "I don’t know, perhaps she has found a place to hide. The last news was that she had embarked on the path of travel. By now, she should be enjoying her life somewhere in the world. In any case, as long as the Demon King returns, she will undoubtedly return and protect this world."

Even in the past, due to ideologies, positions, and beliefs, Gela and Charlette had many conflicts, but Charlette believes Gela will protect this world. She is that kind of person—she hides away when she’s sad, but when people need her, she will stand up.

She can’t say who was right between her and Gela, but she knows Gela was very disappointed in herself, as well as others, which is why she left to travel, and they turned a blind eye to her departure.

Now, the Demon King is probably going to return—

Thinking of this, she even felt a bit excited. Does this mean they will join forces to fight again? Just as they did decades ago.

"That’s what I think too, so regarding the Human Central Empire’s border issues, taking advantage of this meeting, I have a few words to say..." The Elf Queen cast an unkind glance at Boguke. As long as Hero Gela is around, there’s indubitably no threat from the Demon King, because those who participated in the previous battle against the Demon King have become stronger than before. If the Demon King were truly wise, he wouldn’t choose to resurrect now, at least not until this generation is all gone.
