Chapter 428: Chapter 240: Oh no, I’ve Really Become the Demon King

The Demon King was pinned down by Gu Shanhai with just one hand, which left the originally confident foreign races completely dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, they made such a scene, and now this? They couldn’t even get through a single move against him, so what was the point in fighting?

Luckily, the Dragon King reacted quickly, flapping his wings to take off and rushing towards Gu Shanhai, intending to rescue the Demon King and team up with the other strongest being in Hero Continent to attack Gu Shanhai.

But before he could reach him, Gu Shanhai swung his sleeve, and a violent impact hit the Dragon King’s massive body, leaving a visible sleeve mark on the dragon scales that seemed unbreakable to everyone.

The Dragon King himself was smashed to the ground by this attack, creating a huge crater.

However, the dragon’s body was still fairly sturdy. He had only suffered a heavy blow and was trying to struggle to his feet, but alas, his spirit was willing, but his flesh was weak.

This time, all the foreign races recognized the truth: that Gu Shanhai, who seemed to be just a Level 1 hero, was the real strongest one. He had somehow deceived the Goddess.

"Who exactly are you!" After witnessing this scene, the Demon King’s expression showed disbelief, and he asked with skepticism.

The two heroes who had shown up at Level 99 and 98 were already exceptional enough; normally, heroes would just be leaving the novice village to fight Slimes, but Gu Shanhai was outrageous—obliterating everyone despite being Level 1.

"Me? A hero," Gu Shanhai pointed out on his temporary panel, pointing to the word "hero."

But all eyes present were drawn to the row of golden abilities. Even if they didn’t understand what the abilities meant, from the SSS rank and the incredibly fancy names of the abilities, all the foreign races could understand why Gu Shanhai was so outrageous. Give them this set of abilities, and they would be outrageous too.

At the same time, everyone was wondering where the Goddess had found such a hero. With such an identity and background, how was it possible for him to be reincarnated?

"Look, this hero, courageous enough, huh." Gu Shanhai grinned at the Demon King.

The Demon King also realized something at this moment: that he was truly no match for Gu Shanhai. Without having witnessed Gu Shanhai’s abilities, he still might have taken a gamble, but now, he was confronted with the most powerful hero in history, both in strength and background.

In his mind, he already imagined his own fate: imprisoned in an eternal dungeon, endlessly repeating the cycle between life and death, until his consciousness dissipated into a mass of Demonic Qi and reformed once more.

’Wait a second? Demonic Qi!’ The Demon King suddenly realized something. If the hero became the Demon King, then he could just fall into an eternal slumber without worrying about being revived again.

If it was a choice between death and the torturous cycle of rebirth, he would rather choose death, especially if such a death could also trick his nemesis. Why not?

"Indeed, you are brave, but that’s all, hero!" The Demon King said cheerfully, which left the people a bit perplexed.

The next moment, the Demon King’s body transformed into a black and red magma, intending to penetrate Gu Shanhai’s body.

"From now on, you will be the new Demon King... huh?" The Demon King suddenly realized that Gu Shanhai had moved back.

And indeed, the hand holding him was Gu Shanhai’s, only Gu Shanhai had chopped his own hand off, controlling it using the original remote vitality control.

"???"

Seeing this, the Demon King’s face was a mix of ’What the hell?’ This isn’t following the script.

Besides, how could you just cut off your hand like that?

"We’re not that close, are we? Coming at me like this, wanting me to take over as the Demon King, doesn’t that seem a bit improper..." Gu Shanhai commented while moving his newly regrown left hand. With his current situation, it wasn’t just his hand; even if his head were gone, he could instantly grow a new one.

He could have his guts stir-fried in hulusi squash and still not die.

"Wait, don’t you want the power of immortality? If you become the new Demon King, you’ll have that ability," the Demon King tried to tempt him.

"I’ve got that myself," Gu Shanhai said, spreading his hands. As long as he didn’t meet an enemy stronger than himself, immortality was just words to him. As for meeting a stronger enemy, immortality wouldn’t be a help but a burden.

"..." The Demon King was speechless. With your strength, why come be a hero? Why not just go compete with the Goddess for a divine position?

Luckily, Gu Shanhai didn’t know. If he knew the Demon King’s thoughts, he would certainly have retorted that if he had the ability to compete for a better position, he would have done so already and not stayed here as a hero.

"Got anything else good? I wouldn’t mind being the Demon King," Gu Shanhai indicated you need to sweeten the deal.

Talk money, and everything else is negotiable.

Hearing this, the Monster Kings who were being restrained and beaten by White Wolf and others were also stupefied. Have some decency, will you? Which hero ever turns traitor to become the Demon King? They’d seen quite a few heroes in their many years on Hero Continent, but never one like Gu Shanhai.

"Yes, after becoming the Demon King, you can rightfully rule the entire Hero Continent," the Demon King hurriedly said, willing to throw away his own aloof personality to coax Gu Shanhai into being the hero.

"But... I can rule just as rightfully by killing you all," Gu Shanhai felt the Demon King was trying to bribe him with what should already be his, which was shameless. Truly worthy of being the Demon King—the capability to get something for nothing was quite a dilemma for Gu Shanhai.
