Regarding the matter of Doro, Mohe actually has two plans.

The first is to find a way to deal with the Goddess. She wants to join forces with the Goddess to fight Doro.

Of course, this approach could lead to her devouring the Goddess, possessing the Goddess's power along with her own—Doro should be no match.

These kinds of methods can all be grouped together; in short, it's about turning the Goddess's power into her own to counteract the fallen one.

The second plan is... hmm, to win over Doro.

Based on observations during this period, Mohe discovered that Doro has an almost obsessive pursuit of "true love," according to human notions of chastity. He, Lisidorwei, and Rose have had physical relationships, which should at least inspire some different emotions. He seems to be trying to cultivate feelings with Lisidorwei, but the results haven't been very good.

So what if it were myself?

Suppose I could perform "true love" and make Doro fall in love with me, willingly sacrificing for me, and willingly handing over his power to me. What then? I could ascend directly to the Celestial Realm and deal with the Goddess too. By then, becoming the sole ruler of the world is something she's interested in; dominating the world has always been her will.

For many years, she has been doing exactly that; it's just that she previously overturned her plans.

Out of the two plans, if forced to say, Mohe feels the second plan is somewhat easier.

After all, that Goddess...

She's been an old acquaintance for so many years; dealing with her isn't an easy task. Clearly, luring Doro is much easier.

But then again, this could end up like Nakrasa, thinking Doro is an easy target, only to be dumbfounded. Such things can happen too.

Mohe is, of course, inclined to implement the second plan, but she also has her own thoughts on this plan—more "results" are needed to support it.

Simply put, the two people with whom Doro currently has physical relationships are both from the Demon Race. So what if it were a human?

He has been betrayed by humans. How does he feel about humans?

For this target, Mohe actually has two backup candidates: one is the hidden Nephilim, and the other is the Wise King.

Regarding the hidden Nephilim, it's because of previous interactions with Doro. Doro has some resentment and dissatisfaction with Charlette, Adeline, and Adriana, but the hidden Nephilim, Doro also admitted that he couldn't fulfill his promise with her. However, Doro also said—he didn't have enough time, nothing had been done before the betrayal came, and he feels somewhat unfairly treated—yet he can't be entirely justified, as he doesn't know if, had the betrayal not occurred, he would have made the right choice or fulfilled his agreement with the hidden Nephilim.

So, if any girl might have a chance, the hidden Nephilim's chances are acceptable, while the others shouldn't count.

As for the Wise King?

From a personal perspective, Mohe thinks that if the Wise King could be turned into a human maiden, Doro wouldn't mind doing some excessive things to her. After all, the Wise King has done quite a few excessive things, but from Doro's perspective, he probably doesn't want to kill the Wise King, as this Wise King truly is a supreme humanist, and all he has done is for humanity. Doro can't confidently criticize this standpoint.

So, if the Wise King were turned into a maiden, the insult and revenge would shift.

The insult of a man to a woman...

These two are the more favored candidates Mohe intends to use to test Doro's attitude towards humans. As for others—a bunch of losers, a group of useless individuals, what's the point of existing in the world?

Of course, if Adeline remains as creative as before, giving her a way out is not impossible.

Mohe certainly isn't going to share these plans with others; she's just thinking through what to do next.

She never believed she would permanently lose to Doro, yet she definitely won't underestimate Doro. In the long years, she has never suffered such a crushing defeat before; she savors the taste of defeat carefully and decides never to forget it. She wants to understand this feeling more deeply, the flattery towards Doro, the falsehood she displayed, all signs of "defeat."

"Mr. Doro, what exactly do you want me to do? How can I possibly defeat you?"

I seem to have quite a lot in common with Nakrasa!

...

The time spent in the World of the Dead wasn't long, in fact, it was at most two or three days. Mohe activated her left foot representing advancement, and from a sensory standpoint, Doro even felt it was only half a day, yet the events in the mansion had already come to a conclusion, indicating that a few days had indeed passed.

In this extremely short time, Doro had developed different ideas.

The ancient life form, beings from ten thousand years ago, Nakrasa, his appearance was extremely brief, and hardly anyone had even heard this name—but this person left a deep impression on Doro.

Such an obsession to defeat the Demon King, such effort, yet the final result was so regrettable... his will deeply affected Doro.

Doro knows that he has reached the same level of life as the Demon King, but this is also the first time he truly considers himself an entity of this level. He truly realized that describing himself as human is inappropriate. His essence is now different from that of humanity.

He should treat all things and affairs with a different attitude.

"Rose, did you watch the battle in the mansion throughout?"

"Yes, we watched everything. Are you interested? I can tell you about it."

Doro nodded. "Since we're heading to Sim City, you can tell me what happened at the mansion along the way."

"Sure!"

Rose, of course, was eager to walk with Doro to his home in Sim City. She enthusiastically told Doro about the conflicts that erupted among the princesses over such matters, how horribly they insulted each other, and how they smiled in front of people but secretly wanted to assassinate their sisters...

Such things truly happened in the mansion.

Mohe must have intentionally let these things happen.

What was she trying to tell him? What was she trying to imply?

Ever since the incident in Butuo City, Doro never dared to ignore Mohe's hint-like actions.

That girl always hinted at possible future events in various subtle ways. If you're smart enough, you can anticipate what might happen. Of course, since she knows what's coming, she would actively prepare solutions or at least offer ways to resolve problems.

If Doro were lazy enough, he could ignore everything and seek Mohe's help after problems arose.

But Doro was obviously not that kind of person. Depending on Mohe once or twice is one thing, but relying on her constantly would be utterly ridiculous, wouldn't it?

Could he really become the Tearing Celestial King?

He certainly could be the Tearing Celestial King, but he couldn't just be the Tearing Celestial King.

"Sometimes human thoughts, even though we're all humans, are still hard to comprehend."

"I'm a Charming Demon now, Mr. Doro. But I understand your meaning." Rose said with a smile, clearly entertained, as humans love gossip by nature, and Rose was on a mission to gossip. She was thrilled to watch, even betting with Noel on who would remain in the end.

She won that bet.

Noel's understanding of humans was ultimately shallow. However, she herself wasn't much better.

Winning involved a bit of luck.

"Do you think the Demon King is hinting at something?"

"I think she is hinting, otherwise it's too awkward, no... she knew if it was too natural I wouldn't notice, so she did it so awkwardly on purpose."

If Mohe was truly going to choose maids, she shouldn't have hastily set strategies for elves and the princesses of the Ice and Snow Kingdom just before leaving; at that moment, most people's minds should have been blank. She did it so obviously; do you think she wasn't hinting at something?

She was ordered to let them know something bad was going to happen, and the situation with the maids could serve as a reference.

"What do you think she's hinting at?"

Rose shook her head. "Maybe we'll find out soon."

"Often, when we finally get the news, it's already too late, and Mohe's solution has already been laid out... But indeed, there's nothing we can think of, so we can only set it aside for now."

Rose accompanied Doro all the way home but didn't show herself in front of Lisidorwei, seemingly considering her feelings.

In fact, it was only the next day that Doro found out what Mohe was hinting at.

In a way, you could say the sky collapsed.

Because—

The Human Central Empire split.

The entire Sim City was plunged into chaos. People were rushing on the streets, faces full of panic and confusion, holding related documents, asking around hoping to get answers they didn't even know they were chasing.

To put it simply, the news that reached Sim City was.

Duke Regulus of the former diplomatic department attempted to assassinate the Wise King.

But the assassination failed. In his panic, he fled from the Wise King's residence—then after returning to his own territory, Duke Regulus launched a rebellion.

Failed assassination?

In fact, Doro had already seen that some believed the Wise King was actually dead, which led Duke Regulus to rush back to his territory overnight and raise an army in revolt.

The Wise King must not be dead, but the Central Human Empire...

Is it teetering in the storm?
