Chapter 924: The Reason for Overnight Corruption
Barnier tore away the last shred of dignity from Asucre, exposing her (?) most primal secret.
The expressions of everyone in the Demon Lord's Hall instantly turned spectacular.
"M-male...?"
Especially Prince Jedith and the other men who had been indulging in wild fantasies earlier—their faces twisted as if they had eaten something disgusting, each one horrified upon deeper reflection.
Even Eiji gasped in terror.
Damn it, thank goodness he had been having fun at Kazuma's villa all along. If he had carelessly returned to the Demon King's Castle and summoned a succubus to serve him, he might have truly fallen victim to this damn pervert!
If he had to engage in intimate acts with this damn pervert—fuck, it made him want to vomit!
Kazuma, hiding in a corner, nearly burst out laughing. Now you know how I felt when I was tricked by Silvia! Hahahahaha!
If the timing weren't so inappropriate, he would have jumped out and loudly mocked them!
How do you feel now?
How do you feel!
"Hmph, a bunch of ordinary mortals. As long as I can gain immense power, what's wrong with becoming a woman?"
Asucre sneered incessantly, feeling no shame about her sex change and boldly faced the crowd's bizarre stares.
She even had the leisure to flirtatiously toss her long, raven-black hair. Her soft gestures were no different from those of a real woman, and because she was a succubus, every movement was filled with allure.
Centuries of living as a woman had long smoothed away the will she once had as a man.
"Moreover, a woman's senses are far more acute than a man's, and the pleasure is much more intense. You simply don't understand the beauty of it!"
Asucre was not just unashamed—she even proudly explained the benefits of becoming a woman.
"By the way, why don't I just turn all of you into succubi as well?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jedith and the others scrambled to flee the hall, each looking disheveled and terrified, afraid of being caught by Asucre and inwardly cursing their parents for not giving them two extra legs.
"Get lost, you damn pervert! I'll never let you succeed, no matter what!"
Eiji roared angrily and, without hesitation, materialized two spiritual weapons.
What a joke! This makes me want to vomit!
If I were reincarnated as a succubus, wouldn't my lifelong happiness be ruined?
Damn it, I'm going to kill you today!
"Fuhahahaha! I have been waiting for this day for a long time, New Demon King. Your emotions are utterly delicious!"
Barnier let out a hearty, unrestrained laugh.
That's right—the reason he had kept this crucial information hidden all along was for this very moment, to absorb the New Demon King's fury!
Delightful! Truly delightful!
"Barnier, are you messing with me too?"
"Don't be angry, New Demon King. This is my instinct, as you well know!"
"Wait! Wait! Save me first! Kazuma, where are you? Megumin will do, save me quickly!"
Aqua wailed pitifully on the floor beside the throne.
Everyone else had escaped, and she felt utterly unsafe!
"Save your breath! You, Aqua—even if I turn to ashes, I will make sure to kill you!"
Yasuke lowered his head, a fierce glare emerging in his eyes as he stared at Aqua.
"Sir, do we have some grudge? If you have any issues with me, I can change! Please spare this humble one!"
Aqua quickly covered her head, cautiously examining Yasuke.
"You actually forgot about me?!"
Yasuke's mouth twisted, his features contorting like a demon's.
"You clearly said back then that if I saved the world and defeated the Demon Lord Army, you'd send me back to Japan and grant me any wish within your power. Have you forgotten that?"
"Uh... did something like that happen?"
Aqua froze for a moment, then silently averted her gaze.
"I'd already decided on my wish, but then you suddenly told me that the Heavenly Realm never promised any wish - that it was just a lie you embellished to meet your heavenly quotas. Have you forgotten that too?"
"...whistles"
Aqua pouted and blew two silent whistles.
"My Miss Mikami, Miss Hashimoto... my dream of sharing a bed with them was shattered overnight. Do you know how much that hurt me!"
Yasuke glared at her with gritted teeth, articulating his heart-burning rage word by word.
"..."
"..."
For a moment, even Eiji and Barnier fell silent.
"So this is the reason he turned dark overnight?"
"Well, I'm not quite sure about that either..."
Barnier awkwardly wiped sweat from his forehead.
He had originally thought Yasuke had some profound, bitter reason for turning dark and changing gender overnight. But this idiot actually became a Grand Duke of Hell and stubbornly fought a centuries-long divine war against the Heavenly Realm for this kind of reason?
How embarrassing, damn it!
Where's your dignity!
"Today, not just you - everyone here will die!"
As the angry roar faded, boundless black mist suddenly erupted from the ground!
In the blink of an eye, before even the goddess Eris could react, the massive black mist surged hundreds of feet high like an insatiable beast, completely swallowing the enormous Demon King's Castle!
The black mist seeped through like poisonous gas, sweeping in from the castle's exterior and surging from all directions toward the center like a tsunami!
"This power is much stronger than when we were in the royal capital!"
Eiji's expression tightened, his gaze gradually growing serious.
"Fuhaha, of course! After all, she's come in her true form this time, connected to Hell itself with endless power. The entire Hell is her backup energy source!"
Barnier laughed heartily as if it were none of his concern.
As he spoke, the endless mist had already surged into the highest level of the Demon King's Castle from all sides. Jedith and the others who had initially escaped outside were actually the first to encounter the mist.
The reincarnators and Crimson Demon Clan members exhausted all their methods, but no matter what they tried, they couldn't stop the black mist's approach. Even hellfire could only push the mist aside momentarily before denser mist rushed back in!
"Everyone, use teleportation magic quickly!"
In her panic, Yuyu had already forgotten about formalities.
"It's useless, teleportation won't work!"
Green Kale shielded Taolao behind him, shouting anxiously.
"Hehehe! Of course it doesn't work, because seconds ago this place had already become Ashuk's dream domain. Here, her will is the world's will - if she decrees magic to be ineffective, no magic can be used!"
Barnier nodded vigorously. To be honest, he deeply envied such a powerful domain.
Unfortunately, a demon could only possess one authority at most. He already had Clairvoyance, so naturally he couldn't possess the authority of dream mastery. Otherwise, Ashuk wouldn't have been the one to claim this position in the first place!
"Damn it!"
Jedith's face turned extremely grim. The magical sword in his hand had lost its radiance, becoming an ordinary blade.
