Doro wants to become the Human King—

This is a very disastrous matter.

Simply put, while Mohe wants Doro to do certain things, she absolutely does not include his becoming the Human King—this is something Mohe cannot tolerate.

What does the Human King mean?

Is it directly opposed to the Demon King?

This clearly means going against herself!

Even Mohe is a bit unsettled.

Although she has always been plotting against Doro, preparing ways to defeat him, isn't Doro overstepping a bit by doing this? Despite her various schemes, at least for now, as she had told other girls before... Mohe has never wronged Doro!

Doro has continuously relied on her strength and wisdom, and she has unhesitatingly given Doro comfort, wisdom, and mercy... He doesn't even thank her, and yet he becomes the Human King! This is like feeding Mohe's kindness to the dogs!

Mohe absolutely cannot accept such things happening.

Though she understands perfectly well that just because you don't accept something, it doesn't mean you can resist it — the fact is, it's happened — but Mohe is indeed in a foul mood.

Simply put—she was tricked by the Wise King.

The Wise King's target from the start wasn't Doro, but herself, the Demon King.

From the beginning, he planned to elevate Doro to the position of the Human King. He had Duke Regulus start such a war, forcing Doro to make a choice—and this choice...

"Wanting to make humans the supreme race just like the Demons were... Wise King! You did well!"

Mohe naturally planned to resurrect the Wise King. A guy like this, just letting him die? Where in the world is there such a good thing? Fulfilling his wishes and then dying contented—does the Wise King get all the good things in the world?

There's no such reason, at least Mohe doesn't plan to accept it.

Her power surged incessantly in the mansion, unprecedentedly exaggerated. Rose and Noel felt an innate fear, Mohe hadn't been this exaggerated when transforming them.

Now, the essence of that Wise King is undergoing a transformation.

Rose showed a look of pity; she knew very well, Mohe would definitely turn the Wise King into a girl, a beautiful maiden—after all, that is the Demon King's aesthetic. She might even send the Wise King to Gedora; that's something Mohe would do.

At the banquet in the Royal Capital, what exactly happened is hard to say—since Rastina didn't come back with them, it's difficult to ask now.

Terrorizing power surged within the mansion, and then...

Mohe came out of the room alone and looked at the two maids guarding the door.

"Have Lisidorwei come to my room; I have something to say to her."

...

When Lisidorwei walked into the room, she found Mohe sitting by her bed, her expression profoundly deep, lacking her past casual sarcasm.

"Demon King..."

"Lisidorwei, it's time for you to make another choice." Mohe was direct, not in the mood to say profound words to Lisidorwei, but expressed her will directly: "Doro made a choice in the Royal Capital, and he decided to become the Human King—it's time for you to choose."

Lisidorwei's eyes widened: "Human King..."

"Yes, Human King, the Human King opposing the Demon King, he chose to become the King of Humans, different from Wise King, but akin to my past existence with the Demons. You should be able to understand—will you stay here with me or go to him?"

Mohe asked this fatal question directly. For Lisidorwei, the vampire, she had once chosen Doro. In fact, such a question seems a bit ridiculous... After all, she herself has no real reason to choose Mohe.

"If I go to him, would you be angry?"

"No."

Mohe answered directly: "This is within my expectations; I'm merely informing you. When you get the news yourself and then decide to leave... It's not beautiful."

Lisidorwei knelt before Mohe: "Thank you for creating me; thank you for giving me new life."

Mohe then understood Lisidorwei's answer, casually waving her hand: "Then go ahead. Remember to take your egg. Also, Lisidorwei, you'd better not appear in front of me; you'll die."

Lisidorwei left Mohe's mansion.

Of course, Mohe wouldn't touch Lisidorwei. Her preparations weren't fully complete, so despite Doro's disrespect in becoming the Human King, she couldn't genuinely fall out with him, delaying tactics at most, buying more time whenever possible.

As an ancient being, she's not short of time, but as a weaker existence than Doro, time at this moment has become incredibly pressing. For just a brief time, she must enact all kinds of strategies, which is no easy feat.

Having Lisidorwei leave also signifies her stance, her unwillingness to clash with Doro. Now that Doro is the Human King, he shouldn't have so much energy to deal with herself.

Speaking of it... Previously, others were plotting to deal with Doro, and now… it's her turn to deal with Doro, no… she's always been trying to deal with Doro but without any real assurance; this is a very dangerous thing.

She needs more time.

Her first duel with Doro has officially begun—the struggle process is nothing more than vying for powers under the heavens—those willing to bow to the Human King and those willing to bow to the Demon King—such a choice, Mohe knows, is difficult to make. For many, it's like a question of life or death, but since one exists in this world, one must make such choices.

How much power can Doro command now?

...

Becoming the Human King is not just a matter of words; Doro's heart is also very conflicted. He knows that becoming the Human King is very difficult. Problems can easily appear, but—as Mohe said—he has enough power, power that can solve everything for him, thus qualifying him to be the Human King.

However, he is destined to be different from the Demon King, his actions also will be different from the Demon King; he can't behave like Mohe did in the past, caring only for what he "needed." Since he wants to become this Human King, he naturally has to change the lives of the world, naturally has to change the world's will… Merely stopping this war isn't nearly enough.

There's too much effort needed still. However, fortunately, Duke Regulus absolutely obeys him.

At this moment, he sits upon the throne that once belonged to the Wise King, looking at Duke Regulus beside him: "Regulus, what do you think we need to do?"

"Great Human King, what we should do now is to divide the world's order—who submits to your command, who follows your will, who needs clear delineation, the White Church, Curse Master Alliance, Mage Union, Alchemist Association... these various forces, how do they relate with you, those are very important matters."

"These people were all enemies of mine before."

"You are the Human King now; if you need to raise troops, then I will organize armies."

"No need for that; I need them to take a stance. If they choose to stand with the Demon King, I do not oppose it; the Demon King is an excellent leader, being there might not be a bad thing."

"Yes."

Doro made this decision, not as people imagined—in a short ten days. He saw many things in those days, which affected some of his other thoughts, but becoming the Human King—this was something he prepared for long ago.

From the day he became a similar existence as Mohe, from the day he killed the Elf Queen, Doro already had this idea.

He once told Lisidorwei that he couldn't feel real love from her, nor did he truly love Lisidorwei; that was not an empty statement... He realized, perhaps he liked Mohe.

This is a terrifying conclusion.

When he thought of this, it made him dive deep into self-doubt.

How could I like Mohe?

This thought lingered in his mind.

But...

Mohe is indeed special—unlike Lisidorwei, unlike Rose, unlike Ah Xion... The Mohe Doro recognized could embrace everything.

People prized all sorts of values of A·Gedora, but only Mohe just looked at Doro himself. By Mohe's side, Doro clearly felt—no matter how he changes, Mohe's attitude will not alter, no matter if he is fallen or brave, saintly or vile. Regardless... no matter what, that girl would surely be by his side and say: "Mr. Doro, good morning, how are you today?"

Thinking about this, Doro could easily see such scenes.

Mohe knew him too well, so much so that his every action was within her predictions. Every action's result, Mohe had prepared to embrace—he must comprehend Mohe.

The place Mohe once stood, the views Mohe once saw, the mentality and understanding Mohe held of all things…

He is yet unsure if these feelings towards Mohe are truly love, but—he is certain he must do this.

If, if his feelings for Mohe are indeed love… then…

Only the Human King can.
