I am the emperor of Mengwang

Chapter 862: Problem Child 'Diablo'; Guy's Arrival

"Holy Demon Shura, two ultimate skills, 'Holy Demon King' and 'King of Slaughter', martial arts at the Divine Realm, and this amount of magic power... Hmm. Very good."

Mo Li saw through Xiao's entire background at a glance. After all, to some extent, Xiao's awakening could be said to have been promoted by him and Gui Zhong.

The current strength of 'Xiao' has surpassed that of the average 'True Demon King', and he has one foot halfway into the top of the pyramid of this world.

At this moment, Mo Li's heart unconsciously surged with relief.

Mo Li is really proud and relieved that the child he raised has finally grown up to be a successful person!

"Thank you so much for the gift from the Emperor."

Xiao hurriedly said respectfully, if there was no Emperor, how could he be who he is today.

I'm afraid he must have died in the so-called 'Pig Head Emperor' incident a long time ago, dying in that cave with regret because he had no treatment.

However, in response to Xiao's thanks, Li Qiye simply shook his head slightly, as if to confirm or approve.

"All of this is due to your own persistence and hard work. I don't deny that I have helped you grow a little, but if you don't have that heart to become stronger, then even if I give you more support, you won't be able to achieve the growth you have today."

"So... Xiao, stop feeling so inferior and be more confident in yourself. This is my recognition of your hard work and perseverance."

Mo Li's words made Xiao's eyes slightly sore, and the corners of his mouth trembled subconsciously, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

"Alright. Let's skip the pleasantries between us. Get familiar with your own strength, especially the 'gift' I'm giving you."

Looking at 'Xiao' who seemed to be about to burst into tears in the next second, Mo Li said helplessly, and then began to give 'Xiao' serious instructions.

After hearing Mo Li's reminder, Xiao seemed to realize something and looked at Mo Li in shock and disbelief.

"Emperor, is it you who gave me the ultimate skill called 'King of Slaughter'?!"

Xiao couldn't help but be shocked. What was an 'ultimate skill'?! It was a power that touched the very foundations of this world.

However, such power was given to him so easily by the 'Emperor'.

This, this is absolutely shocking! As expected of the Emperor!

However, facing Xiao's doubts, Li Qiye simply tapped his lips with his right index finger, making a confidential gesture.

"We're done with this matter. Get familiar with and master that power, understand?"

Mo Li did not deny it, as that was indeed the case. That 'ultimate skill' was indeed the reward Mo Li gave to Xiao for this war and the gift of this awakening.

But this kind of thing is obviously not something that can be discussed casually.

"Yes. Emperor!"

After seeing the gesture of the 'Emperor', Xiao nodded firmly and said very seriously.

Although the 'Emperor' did not directly admit it, it was no different from the 'Emperor' tacitly agreeing to it.

At this time, 'Xiao' vaguely realized that even though he had completely stepped into the realm of 'True Demon King', possessed millions of magic energy, and had two powerful 'ultimate skills'!

But even so, the Emperor still gave him the same feeling of being unknown, mysterious, majestic, and unfathomable as before.

It really is true.

When he was still a 'Demon King Seed', without reaching the realm of 'True Demon King', Wang Dijun was like a frog in a well looking up at the moon. Now that he has fortunately reached the realm of 'True Demon King', the gap seems to have widened, like a mayfly looking at the sky.

But even so, 'Xiao' will not give up the pace of progress. Since the power of the 'True Demon King' is not enough, and the power of the 'two' ultimate skills is not enough, then once he masters his own power, he will move towards the threshold of 'Catastrophe Grade'. One day he will truly become a useful person to the 'Emperor'.

Just as Xiao was about to say something, a golden light flashed, followed by a heavy slap on his back.

It was none other than 'Ruo Tuo' who had been protecting 'Xiao' under the platform not long ago.

The immense force of this palm strike almost knocked Xiao down.

"Good boy! You're really worthy of me! You actually succeeded in 'awakening'!!"

Ruota laughed and praised Xiao.

Although he had the assistance of Morax, it was undeniable that Xiao was indeed working very hard.

At this moment, Xiao, the person involved, was slightly startled as he felt the unbearable force coming from behind him.

Along with Ruota came 'Veludera', who was now on the same wavelength with Ruota and had become his good friend and confidant.

"Yeah. He's definitely made a lot of progress. His strength is rising very quickly! He's stronger than that 'Mirus' and that 'Golden-haired Sword King' guy, but... there's a limit to how strong he is!"

"It's just that now 'you' have the strength to compete with your former defeated opponent, the giant demon king named 'Dagu Shulu'. That's pretty good!"

"But don't be proud!"

Veldora commented on Xiao as if he was giving him a review, and then gave him a serious warning.

Although the authenticity of the words is a little bit off.

After all, 'Veldora' did fight with 'Dagu Shulu', many times, even, but the outcome was always inconclusive.

But now it’s different. Having obtained the ‘ultimate skill’ and even being able to perfectly control his own power, ‘Veldora’ is fully confident that he can defeat ‘Dagu Shulu’.

It is even possible that she can compete with her two sisters.

However, although there are some deviations, most of the words are still true. It is true that Xiao's strength has surpassed Luminas and Leon, but he is only at the level where he can compete with Dagu Shulu, and it is even difficult to win.

Of course, if you say that Xiao has perfectly mastered the immense power of self-growth, as well as the two Ultimate Skills, then Veldora is wrong.

The current 'Xiao''s' strength leap this time is a bit too huge. He directly jumped from the 'Demon King' realm to the peak of 'True Demon King', and can even compete with ordinary 'Disaster Grade'.

Even if he is the 'strongest demon king', it will take some time to adapt.

If Xiao could really perfectly master his own rapidly increasing strength, among the current demon kings of the Nine Heavens, Xiao's current strength could rank among the top five.

"Thank you for your guidance, Seniors 'Rota' and 'Veludora'."

Xiao felt the terrible oppression from Veludora and Rota. The pride he had in himself due to his awakening was completely extinguished by the attacks from Moli, Veludora, and Rota.

After all, he is indeed very strong compared to some people now, but compared with the real strong ones, he is still a lot worse.

Apart from the 'Emperor', it would not be too difficult for even Lord Veludora and Lord Rudra to defeat or even kill him.

I have only obtained a ticket to step onto the real battlefield. I have just obtained the qualification, that's all.

Let’s move forward a little in time.

While Xiao was preparing to awaken himself and Moli, Veldora, and Rota were protecting him, Rimuru also made proper arrangements for the imperial soldiers who were resurrected by himself (the King of Wisdom).

At this time, we are in an unknown space.

As the 'Captain of the Imperial Mecha Corps' and the commander of this war, Kalijulio slowly accepted the reality that he had been resurrected by the 'Demon King'.

At this time, they were defeated by the army of the 'Demon Federation' and then resurrected by the enemy leader 'Demon King'. They are now gathered together to discuss what to do next.

How will they spend the future having been given a second life?

At this point they only have two choices.

The first option is obvious, which is to submit to the current empire's hostile forces, that is, the 'Demon Federation'.

This is naturally not a big problem.

Although they have lost their strength now, they can still carry out their daily lives. After all, their bodies are still healthy except for the loss of strength.

The second option is to ask to leave.

However, if they requested to leave the Demon Federation or even escape, it was hard to say whether the Demon Lord Rimuru would be angry. In more serious cases, they might even directly anger the existence that was regarded as a "taboo" by the empire.

And every one of them knew that even if they returned to the 'Empire', there would be only one outcome waiting for these losers.

That means accepting execution!

Nothing else.

But even so, there are still many soldiers who request to advise the "Demon Federation" and return to the empire, back to their own hometown.

Because they are not just soldiers, they have more than just the identity of "soldiers", they have other names.

A son of an elderly mother, a father of a young child, a husband of a wife, and many of them are the only pillars of a family.

Therefore, even if there is no longer a bright future, even if a dark fate awaits them, they still want to return to their homeland, their own home.

As they talked, many imperial officers began to complain about the imperial intelligence agency.

Even some people with quick tempers have started cursing at the Intelligence Bureau.

Because of this attack, the information provided by the Imperial Intelligence Agency about the "Demon Federation" was completely inconsistent with the facts. The facts were exaggerated many times more than the information on paper.

If they had known the intelligence in advance, they might not have been defeated so miserably.

Even though you will lose in the end.

However, after hearing the complaints of these officers and staff, Kalijulio, the 'Imperial Commander', smiled bitterly.

"Do you really think that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know about the 'Demon Federation'? Although the Intelligence Bureau cannot be said to be fully aware of it, it certainly has a great understanding of the 'Demon Federation'."

"And His Majesty the Emperor... should also be aware of this situation."

When he said the last sentence, a bitter expression appeared on Kalijulio's face, which had become extremely weathered.

After hearing what Caligurio said, the officers all showed puzzled expressions, and some even questioned Caligurio.

After all, in their eyes, the emperor is a god-like existence in the empire, an almighty being that cannot be desecrated.

But when Kalijulio laid out all his guesses, the secret intelligence he knew, and the data he had collected in front of everyone, everyone fell silent.

They are just a group of cannon fodder to promote those who are qualified to awaken.

Even if possible, these soldiers can be abandoned at any time.

After all, in the eyes of His Majesty, their million-strong army is probably not as important as an 'awakened' strongman.

The only unexpected thing is that in addition to the top combat forces, even the high-level combat forces and the army of the 'Demon Federation' are so powerful.

Even the 'awakened' Karigurio was killed without even the slightest resistance, something His Majesty had not anticipated.

Although these are just Kalijulio's guesses.

If this happens, they will never be able to return to the empire, or even if they return to the empire, they will only have death.

Even for the sake of morale, His Majesty will kill them all.

There is only one way to choose, and that is to surrender to the 'Demon Federation', or in other words, they have no other choice.

After Rimuru arrived, Karigurio expressed his and others' expectations and suggestions to Rimuru.

The reason why Rimuru resurrected them was for this very reason. In other words, it would be unjust if such a large labor force was not utilized!

In this way, 'Rimuru' directly gave them the task of rebuilding the city. With hundreds of thousands of workers, Rimuru himself made a fortune.

Afterwards, Karigurio also explained the information he knew, although Rimuru had already known it for a long time.

It could be said that the only ones the Empire needed to pay attention to right now were the so-called 'Royal Guards', Velgrendo as the 'Field Marshal', and the Emperor 'Rudra' (Michael).

Of course, the most troublesome one is the 'Scorching Dragon' Viru, after all, 'dragon seeds' are immortal.

But they have the 'Emperor' here, so there is no need to worry.

However, Rimuru had not shared the secret information about Guy and Rudra’s ten-thousand-year bet with everyone.

The 'problem child' Diablo, who had a keen intuition and realized that the matter was related to Guy, just like in the original story, directly called 'Guy' over.

After hearing Diablo call Guy over, Rimuru and the others were so shocked that they were speechless.

"Already called!?"

"Yes."

Diablo showed a shy expression.

"you……"

At this moment, Rimuru had the idea of ​​sending Diablo to Siberia to grow potatoes.

At this time, Mo Li, Ruo Tuo and others who were still on the 100th floor had also noticed the arrival of Qi Yi and others early on. After all... it was really difficult not to notice.
