Chapter 429: Chapter 240: Oh no, I’ve Really Become the Demon King_2

Gu Shanhai’s stubbornness proved a tricky situation even for the Demon King.

"What do you want to become the Demon King!" The Demon King couldn’t care much anymore, so he directly asked.

"It’s not about what I want, it’s about what you have." Gu Shanhai was somewhat speechless; he wanted knowledge of perpetual motion and pages from the Time History Book, but looking at the people opposite him who were practically illiterate, how could they possibly provide that.

"I am the Demon King, the most evil from the Hero Continent!!!"

Clearly, the Demon King was getting frustrated by Gu Shanhai’s attitude, detecting the disdain in his tone.

Of course, this was a misunderstanding, as Gu Shanhai didn’t actually scorn the Demon King; he simply saw him as an illiterate.

The ground split, and black-red magma emerged from the fissures, the Demon King’s body falling, dragging Gu Shanhai’s arm down into the magma as well.

A gigantic black-red giant stood up.

This giant was made of magma, yet it emanated no heat, instead giving off a dark aura.

"Is this the second phase? But, why didn’t you use this ability earlier?" Gu Shanhai watched the opponent charging up and transforming, puzzled.

His strength did increase, probably from a Level 100 Boss to a Level 120 Boss.

But for Gu Shanhai, it was still the same old story.

"Hero, merge with me~"

The Demon King’s voice carried a certain resentfulness, and then the ground began to heal itself, attempting to envelop Gu Shanhai within.

"I really don’t want to merge with someone as ugly as you..." Gu Shanhai was just an ordinary middle-aged bystander; if he really merged with the flashy Demon King, his looks would increase by a hundred percent, and then he couldn’t stay low-key.

"Eight Diagrams·Kun."

In an instant, the merging ground cracked and turned into many fragments.

"Got you." Inside the shattered land, Gu Shanhai found the figure of the Demon King, who was no longer in human form but appeared as a mass of black mist.

With a flick of his long sleeves, invoking the power inside, he captured the figure directly into his sleeves.

"Ha ha ha~ Hero, this will be your biggest... mistake?" The Demon King emitted Demonic Qi continuously pouring into Gu Shanhai’s spatial sleeve, planning to turn Gu Shanhai into the Demon King.

However, instead of corruption occurring in Gu’s body, a large number of distorted demons emerged, a sight that truly alarmed the Demon King.

"You’re not a hero at all; you’re the Demon King!!!" The Demon King was stupefied by the fierce reflections of the twisted demons. The Hero Continent was only supposed to have him as the Demon King. Where did this powerful counterfeit able to pose as a hero come from?

"Don’t falsely accuse people; I’m a hero, a champion of justice, a valiant knight, a virtuous gentleman! If you keep slandering, I’ll sue you for defamation." Gu Shanhai found these guardian demons looked somewhat over-the-top and their aura did seem to lean towards the demonic, but that didn’t mean he could be called the Demon King right away.

Moreover, it’s absurd for a Demon King to point at a hero declaring him to be the actual Demon King.

"You’re getting flustered, you’re getting flustered." The Demon King laughed joyfully.

"..." Gu Shanhai really wanted to retort; how could he be flustered? Hence, he felt even more aggrieved and thought he couldn’t let it go at that. By all means, he needed to make the Demon King understand that Gu Shanhai was the hero, and whatever he did in this world was absolutely on the side of justice.

So he was ready to strike back hard.

But before he had a chance to make a move, the Demon King self-destructed.

"Demon King, fulfill your duty to destroy the Hero Continent." The Demonic Qi exploded in an instant, intending to infiltrate Gu Shanhai’s spatial sleeve and affect him, but everything was sealed away by him.

"You fucking what?!" Gu Shanhai’s forehead veins were bulging, this was too much, framing him even in death, even deliberately adding special effects for him on the outside.

"Gulp~" ×N

Seeing the Demonic Qi emanating from Gu Shanhai, everyone suddenly had a bad feeling, except for Hualou Chun and Peach Blossom Smile. These two had completed their main missions and even the hidden ones, indicating that Gu Shanhai’s move had directly eliminated the resistance forces of the Hero Continent.

"Congratulations on the rebirth of the Demon King." Someone from the Demon Clan, wise enough, shouted, which triggered a chain reaction. The Demon King Army straightaway defected.

If you can’t beat them, join them, no shame in that.

As for the original Demon King, it was no longer their concern. The person was dead, what could they do.

’It’s done, I’ve really become the Demon King.’ Gu Shanhai felt somewhat sad inside. His identity as a hero clearly had a bright future, but now it was beyond salvation. He could only control the Vespa-type genetically modified people from here on.

Hualou Chun and Peach Blossom Smile wanted to say something, but before they could open their mouths, they were teleported away, apparently only given about thirty seconds by the "First Epoch."

Gu Shanhai knew why. This time the players took a lot and interfered a lot, there wasn’t much spoils left, so they weren’t allowed to stay long.

So now it was just Gu Shanhai left.

Other diverse kings saw this scene and reluctantly bowed their heads in submission.

The Demon King Army seeing which way the wind was blowing surrendered, so these diverse tribes also had no corresponding power at this moment; they were already inadequate facing the Vespa-type genetically modified people, let alone adding the Demon King Army.

If the Holy Kingdom was considered the strongest force, then the Demon King Army was certainly the most formidable. Despite being suppressed by the previous heroes, their strength was always present.

Gu Shanhai first reigned in the overflowing Demonic Qi, barely reverting back to his own identity.

"So, what if I say I’m not the Demon King, but a hero, and that the scene just now was a special effect left by the suicide of the Demon King, would you believe me?" Gu Shanhai hesitated but decided he had to explain. He had always been on the side of righteousness, and he couldn’t let this incident tarnish his identity with an unwanted title of Demon King.

The crowd was even more frightened. If Gu Shanhai hadn’t explained, they would have just accepted him as the Demon King. Now this explanation created even more issues. If you forced the Demon King into suicide, who else could be the Demon King but you?

You should know that the Demon King was an immortal entity. The fact that you could drive him to suicide showed how much torment you inflicted, preferring death rather than betting on the future.

"Of course we believe you, Demon King, sir." said a slightly sycophantic general from the Demon King Army.

"Call me Hero, sir." Gu Shanhai said with no expression, this time truly unable to clarify, for now under the hero there lay the Demon King Army.

"No problem, Demon King, sir."

For a moment, Gu Shanhai couldn’t tell if this general from the Demon King Army understood him or not.

"You guys..." Gu Shanhai looked at those diverse kings, thinking whether to let them explain, since they used to be allies after all.

"Long live the Demon King!"

Turns out, before he could even speak, this group of diverse beings signified their allegiance to the Demon King, and since Gu Shanhai was now essentially the Demon King, they were pledging their loyalty to him.

Survival, right? No shame in that, didn’t you see even the Dragon King backed down.

The Dragon King was also scared, slightly inferior to the Demon King. Even the Demon King died such a miserable death; if he dared to remain defiant to death, Gu Shanhai could truly kill him, maybe even arrange a grand dragon feast afterward.

"Alright, I get it, Demon King it is then." Gu Shanhai sighed, after all, it was only in this world. Once he left, he would be back to being a righteous person.

"What are your plans moving forward?" Gu Shanhai initially planned to slay these people before delving deeper into the situation, but now it wasn’t so easy to make a move, mainly because they surrendered quickly and with seeming sincerity, unlike those nobles of the Holy Kingdom who always felt like they could defy Gu Shanhai under the Goddess’s protection.

Probably because these diverse beings, though they had developed a civilization, adhered more to the natural law of survival of the fittest, especially since Gu Shanhai was so strong that even the Demon King was no match, they didn’t dare harbor any cunning intentions.
