Her smile turned wicked: "It seems you've forgotten something, Miss Adeline, I am... the Demon King!"

"Just like the White Church records in the 'Holy Record', I am the born Demon King, who takes pleasure in tormenting the world, indifferent to the feelings of the people, and casually uses them as my tools for enjoyment! How could I let your grand vision come true? As an Alchemist, I do respect you~ But as the Demon King..."

"If there is no inequality, no strong and weak, no life, aging, sickness, and death... how am I to torment people? Haven't you seen it too? The supposedly pure-hearted child, who smiles innocently, killing a companion in the struggle for a morsel of food. Also seen the deep-bonded sisters who betray each other for a bit of money, framing each other and selling to slave traders. Did you not witness it too? The Saintess mercilessly swinging the butcher's knife to achieve her political ends—"

Mohe's smile twisted: "It is precisely because these things exist! That's what makes this world interesting! Because there's so much pain, so much sorrow, there are also many beautiful emotions! The lives in this world have value because of that! If they were all Alchemy Dolls! How dull that scene would be? If the world turned into that, it would be better off destroyed. If life was originally like that, I wouldn't let many races exist. Such races would only be destroyed by me, the great Demon King! An uninteresting race holds no value!"

Adeline's heart turned cold.

Doro or someone else would not understand Adeline's thoughts, and Adeline was prepared for this, since they were not Alchemists, they couldn't understand the thoughts of Alchemists, but Adeline believed, once they saw the result, others would understand her well-meaning intentions. They would see that she is on the right path.

This plan, truly approved, is by the Demon King.

But it is only this Demon King—she is playing the villain.

No, she was originally the villain.

Justice and such have no connection with her, Doro acts from the right angle to stop her, but this Demon King, knowing Adeline is correct, stands from the evil angle to stop her—could they actually join forces like this? What the Demon King wants to do, the Hero should oppose... such a simple thing, does Doro still need to consider? What the Demon King is unwilling to do must be beneficial to the world! Is he actually so foolish? How could he trust the Demon King to this degree?

Obviously, she's truly on the verge of establishing Earthly Heaven!

No one knows what the real Celestial Realm is like, but... the world she constructs should be incredibly beautiful!

As long as everyone becomes Alchemy Dolls... there are no races, no identities, no strongs and weaks—as long as everyone becomes part of a collective consciousness, there will naturally be more understanding and love, thoughts between people can be better understood. There is no more perfect way. Once achieved, they certainly will...

They will surely return to the past!

This is precisely what this Demon King loathes!

No, Adeline, cannot be swayed.

You are progressing for the right goal, for an unprecedentedly brilliant world! You have done no wrong, those who stand in front of you are at fault! For the sake of rightness, you must defeat the Demon King in front of you!

Even if the soul is drawn by Mohe, the Alchemy Dolls finally, at this moment, begin to meld in Mohe's expectant gaze.

Even if this is only a half-finished product... but there is still something to replace!

The Demon King's lung!

"Your personally crafted lungs! Demon King! Using them can barely serve as another component."

Mohe looked on with interest at the happenings before her: "Using my lungs isn't as good as my left hand, is it? After all, my left hand can birth new souls on its own. Much more useful than the lungs, you are now using my lungs' alchemical significance as a 'false soul' to support the operation of this Earthly Heaven. As knowledge and soul often have some connections—an interesting idea, how long can you maintain it?"

"Long enough for me to cut off your left hand again as the core!"

"Wow~ Truly frightening~ I even feel like running to the Hero for a comforting hug~ Had I known you had such things, I wouldn't have bragged about testing your skills personally, which would thus expose much of my stuff..." Mohe sighed, "I've indeed, until now, only used Alchemy Items with a history. Just trying not to alert the Hero, showing him that what I have are just things seen in history... I've even crafted new Alchemy Items right in front of him, do you know how difficult it is to earn some of his trust, create mental patterns?"

Mohe began to grumble: "Once exposed, he'll definitely up his vigilance against me, I truly didn't want to use those things unseen by the world!"

In reality, if one had to say whether she's shown anything not in history, there indeed have been.

For instance, in Lisidorwei's hands, the Apocalypse and End Horn.

But this was different, in Mohe's judgment, it was a failed product; she clearly informed Doro that she barely considers such failures her creations, feeling somewhat embarrassed by them.

Doro agreed with this sentiment.

After all, to the Demon King herself, the Apocalypse and End Horn could indeed only be considered a failed product.

Though its power wasn't bad, it hardly felt threatening or oppressive to Doro.

Simply put, Doro didn't even pay it any mind, what else would it be if not a failed product?

In a duel against a top Alchemist like Adeline, Mohe certainly wouldn't bring out failures, even the Demon King has their pride. Against laymen, pulling out a failed item might bluff them, but Adeline being an expert among experts, bringing out failures, even Mohe would find it shameful.

Indeed, she couldn't afford to lose face, especially after witnessing Adeline's grand vision. As a fellow Alchemist, how could she present anything less magnificent?

"Earthly Heaven, once fused, turns into such a colossal monster... When you rule the world, when this monster appears, will it not tower into the sky? Let me think, in my treasury, it seems... ah! There's something that's not an Alchemy Item, had you not reminded me now, I'd have forgotten."

A rift opened around Mohe, and she continued to play her melody.

A sapling fell to the ground.

The graceful, leisurely tune changed in that instant.

In an instant, it became generous and passionate.

"Please enjoy this piece! 'Fervor of Midsummer'!"

At the moment the tune rang out, that sapling began to grow frantically, and at the same time, those who had been slumbering woke one by one, their emotions wildly shifting, becoming deeply stirred.

"What on earth is this?!"

Under Mohe's melody, the tree quickly rooted itself in the ground—but this was Volcano City!

Adeline could already see that the massive roots had embedded themselves in the volcano. Rooted in the magma!

Correspondingly, the tree grew golden red leaves, as if magma flowed across the leaves!

"This is a sapling of the World Tree~"

Mohe, revealed a satisfied smile.
