The Demon King, truly lonely.
Sitting at the highest position, overlooking everything in the world.
Doro has always been waiting recently.
He waits for Charlette to abandon her divine power and walk her own path, he waits for Adeline's Human Alchemy to edge closer to the essence of the Demon King and himself, waiting for hidden Nephilim, whether after Mohe alters the nature of the Curse Master, she will understand Mohe's realm under such a transformation of power, thereby reaching the same domain.
To defeat Mohe, it's not necessary to be all-powerful like her; you only need to reach her realm in one domain, and then surpass her in that field.
He is also waiting for Mohe to set up their battlefield.
Thus he understood, be it the Demon King or the Human King, when sitting in this position, the eternity that time brings is eternal waiting. Mohe waited alone, for many years, waiting for the flow of time, the changes of years, waiting for one after another who might challenge her, waiting...
What a tedious thing.
Wanting to do something... he finally understood why Mohe seemed to know everything, why Mohe was always interested in various things—anything she hadn't studied before was part of the surprise brought by timeless years, a spice in such tedious waiting.
She could calmly view everything.
Unconsciously, standing on the peak of loneliness.
Doro was conscious of it; he became the Human King to experience Mohe's feelings, to know Mohe's past thoughts, to understand Mohe's will. So he was aware of it. But truly sitting here waiting, even for just a day, feels unbearably tough.
He possesses the qualification for caprice—but how helpless is caprice actually?
However, he is much better than Mohe, with many people by his side, such as Lisidorwei, such as Ah Xion—Lisidorwei guards the egg that's growing, she probably looks forward to the child, and Doro does too, but this is still a matter that requires "waiting."
Waiting encompasses all of Doro at this moment.
He feels he might get lost in this waiting.
It's something that feels very sorrowful.
However, he feels grateful for this.
The more he savors the torment of the moment, the more he appreciates the solitude of this moment, he seems to understand Mohe's gaze better, the girl's gaze always filled with inquiry, as if she wants to know everything in the world, as if she already knows everything in the world, her eyes always carry a hint of playfulness, she always teases one's sensitive nerves, yet she accurately predicts all the choices one would make, and then prepares a plan, when things happen, she would say "fortunately, I was prepared in advance," or "it's just me, if it were someone else, it wouldn't work."
Like this, easily and perfectly resolving matters.
He has many things to explore. Magic, alchemy, curses, divine art, astrology—in the long years, Doro can also gradually, like Mohe, study all sorts of things, even engraving, brewing, fishing, construction, music, drawing, poetry... all kinds of things. Unlike Mohe, Mohe has few things left to study, whereas the one named Doro still has many things to appreciate. For his life to truly become dull, it seems there's still a while to go.
But he has no interest for the moment.
He is undoubtedly fortunate, having a Demon King before him in this realm, allowing him to see the future scenery of life forms in this domain. Allowing him to know what life will become—most importantly, the existence of this life form itself is already enough to make people feel joy.
"When will your and my battlefield be set up?"
——
The arrangement of the battlefield with Doro consumed about half a month of Mohe's time.
This is actually already quite long.
Because, at this moment, Mohe has actually restored all of her strength—in past times, she never slackened in restoring her power, although the last few components were not retrieved, those were not considered important for Mohe at that time. In the World of the Dead, she allowed the Snow Elf sisters to obtain the emblem, which meant she did not collect a toll from it.
The appearance of not fully restored strength before was merely to show weakness to Doro, yet Doro did not seem to think she had not restored her power... this man is sometimes quite smart.
Therefore, there's no need to hide anything now, using the full power of the Demon King at her peak, it took half a month to finally construct the battlefield. This battlefield was already a terrifying entity—actually, even if Mohe had spent more time, the battlefield wouldn't change much.
For the normal major kingdoms, half a month is not even enough to mobilize the troops. For the army to move from one end of some countries to the other, it is usual to take a month or two.
Organizing a major battle on this battlefield clearly tests the commander's ability. Mohe knows that during this time the Wise King is meeting leaders who have pledged allegiance to her, using her name to plan some strategy... but as Mohe initially said, though she wants to win, whether she wins this round doesn't really matter. If she cannot defeat Doro with her personal strength, then if Doro shamelessly disregards the outcome of this match, there would be nowhere for Mohe to cry at that time.
