Miracle Source Adeline, this young girl has long brown hair—Mohe noticed that almost all the women in the Hero's party have long hair... She doesn't find this strange, perhaps Hero A·Gedora, at one time, or even unconsciously, expressed a preference for women with long hair.

However, this is not something to be delved into at this moment.

She knows that the "Miracle Source," once treated as a little sister within the Hero's party, has in the span of a decade or so, grown to become the de facto leader of the Alchemist Association. This association's power isn't as strong as the White Church, and its organization is relatively loose, which consequently allows Adeline to easily control the entire organization.

Unlike Charlette, who is still hindered by many factors.

That's why this little bean appears in front of her like this.

She allowed herself to be cursed, but when the curse reached the third stage, she stopped it from spreading further; at this moment, the state of Alchemy City has begun to change due to Mohe's curse.

In other words, the third stage of the curse is the limit Adeline can allow.

The mourning of the dead will provoke the living's anger.

This is probably also what Adeline desires.

A backlash against Saintess Charlette.

From the perspective of the priest training system, Saintess Charlette's formidable power today is closely related to having defeated the Demon King and holding the title of Saintess. Some even say that only Saintess Charlette is the true Saintess, while those in the church's past were merely flowers and decorations.

From the creation day of the gods, it can be seen that Charlette's statue is taken out to be worshipped and prayed to alongside the deity.

Priests can gain power from reputation.

And the occurrence of this event, regardless of whether Charlette and the Wise King manage to smooth things over, will inevitably plant a seed in people's hearts—faith will thus be shaken, and Charlette will certainly become weaker.

The third stage of Mohe's curse is the best extension of this weakening.

So Adeline is not innocent at all.

Mohe couldn't help but remark, "The growth of humans truly is rapid!"

"What did you say?"

"A decade or so ago, I remember you hiding behind a big rock, trembling, stealthily watching me and A·Gedora's battle, the whole team seemed to be protecting you, and now, you don't hesitate to calculate against your good sister."

This really is... the interesting thing about human life is right here, in just a short decade or so, past views become inapplicable. Complete changes occur between people, whether it is Doro, Charlette, or Adeline before him.

Adeline's eyes seemed complex, but she quickly restrained her emotions: "You deliberately led me out, so what do you want to say to me?"

"Of course, I want to retrieve my body part, the Demon King's lung."

"Do you think it's possible?"

Mohe said with a smile, "Why do you think it isn't possible, you should have quite a few high-level alchemy materials, right?"

"And what of it?"

"You let me retrieve my lung first, let me regain my alchemy power, and then I'll use my power and your alchemy materials to recreate a lung for me, to place it back into the seal, so no one knows you lost my lung—you'll bear no blame. This is the cleanup I'll do for you. Also, during this process, you get to observe my alchemy, which can only be beneficial for you, right?"

She directly offered her terms, "Of course, if you find this offer not rich enough, we can further discuss, for instance, regarding Saintess Charlette. Projecting her misdeeds to the entire world is achieved by an alchemy item from the Arch Fiend of my Four Heavenly Kings' Shapeshifter Greenland—Abinu's Mirror, one of the few successful alchemy items I believe, comparable to the Aerial Fortress beneath us. I can help you retrieve it. This way, your Alchemist Association's power will greatly enhance, fearless of any challenge."

Even Adeline, upon hearing Mohe's words, was stunned.

The offer was far too generous, so generous that Adeline found it hard to believe; frankly, a Demon King's lung does not hold as much value for the Alchemist Association as Abinu's Mirror. Plus, she would have to return a lung.

But why?

Why is she offering such a generous deal? Is there some trap within?

"Are you worried I have some setup or trap?" Mohe seemingly saw through Adeline's heart, "Of course, I have my plan. I have seen you, so I have determined the kind of person you are, hence, I would give these things to you, allowing you to oppose the church. Although personally, I would rather leverage the Mage Union—I haven't met with Adriana yet, not sure if she's someone I can trust."

To let me oppose the church?

"You throw the Alchemist Association into the depths of fire and water."

"You think you're not there already?" Mohe showed a mocking expression, "Extreme greed is a human flaw; I've provided a sufficiently generous deal, yet you say such words, trying to get more conditions from me—Miss Alchemist, you're nothing like a Miracle Source now, rather a greedy merchant; moderation is a very important part of alchemy, isn't it?"

Adeline couldn't refute, the Demon King's alchemy was more advanced than hers; at least, she didn't have an alchemy item like Abinu's Mirror—though World Reflection also garnered widespread attention, she knew the exploit behind this alchemy item. Her alchemy was not as advanced as the Demon King's.

"So, I can only accept?"

"You could choose not to accept."

Mohe put on an indifferent expression: "Does it matter? You could even kill me. It's nothing more than facing our own fates and making our own choices. You have the greatest freedom in choosing for yourself, as long as you're willing to bear the consequences."

The greatest freedom in making one's own choices?

She really dares to say that...

"May I ask, what do you call yourself now?"

"Mohe~ Cute, isn't it?"

"Mohe... follow me."

"Alright."

...

The girls sat by the fireplace.

Rose looked at Lisidorwei: "Lisidorwei, you have a better relationship with Doro, right? Could you try to talk to him?"

The images projected worldwide were naturally also watched by everyone in Baixi Town. While the three girls were having a loving and chaotic time with Doro, the sudden projection reflected Saintess Charlette's invasion of the Lizardman Kingdom.

The Lizardmen didn't even put up any resistance and were slaughtered completely. In the end, the so-called "Demon King's Four Heavenly Kings" were never found.

However, upon seeing the projection, both Doro and Lisidorwei understood.

Shapeshifter Greenland.

Doro probably also realized the Lizardmen's true identity, and the reason they willingly faced slaughter is revealed through Abinu's Mirror.

Because Lisidorwei clearly knows that in the past, Shapeshifter Greenland fought with the Hero A·Gedora — Greenland escaped.

It's hard to say whether at that time A·Gedora wasn't strong enough, allowing Greenland to escape, or if this Hero intentionally let Shapeshifter Greenland go, but in any case, what happened in the Lizardman Kingdom symbolized two things.

First, the escaped Greenland substantially massacred the Lizardman Kingdom.

Second, Charlette, unaware of the Lizardmen's true identity, substantively committed a slaughter against the Lizardmen.

If the world knew the truth, they would know Charlette wasn't wrong; she indeed killed the Four Heavenly Kings and their subordinates.

It could even be said that she took revenge for the real Lizardmen.

But this cannot be clearly explained.

Because the Shapeshifters are the Lizardmen. This is a trait of their race.

When they undergo permanent transformation, they substantively become another race.

Therefore, "Lizardmen" were indeed slaughtered, and no one can truly explain this matter thoroughly, not even Lisidorwei and Doro dare to say with absolute certainty that "those Lizardmen were Shapeshifters." Perhaps there was even a fallen Shapeshifter Greenland who hid in the Lizardman Kingdom shortly before passing away, leaving Abinu's Mirror to the Lizardman Kingdom.

This is also a possible scenario.

After all, it's just an alchemy item, though it was left by the Demon King.

Since witnessing such a scene, Doro remained silent, sitting in the courtyard, raising his head, looking at the sky, as if waiting for Abinu's Mirror to release another image.

"Does he still hold some expectation for Charlette?" Ah Xion said somewhat worriedly, "I know they used to have a good relationship, when Charlette first brought him to me, I remember his expression back then... he must have liked Charlette."

"But Charlette is just a b**ch!"

Rose immediately retorted: "Her saintly demeanor is all an act! She might have once been truly great and kind! But now, she's just a scoundrel chasing eternity, divinity, power, and status! She's even worse than the Demon King! At least Mohe is straightforward when he says he wants to conquer the world. Unlike Charlette who is so hypocritical!"

"What use is saying this now? Even if you blame Charlette... she was once a beam of light in A·Gedora's heart, and the last time they fought, didn't Doro just tear off her arm?" Lisidorwei voiced.

Rose and Ah Xion listened to her words, giving Lisidorwei a strange look.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you demons think that tearing off the arms of someone you like can be described as 'just'?" Rose couldn't help but ask.

Lisidorwei paused for a moment: "Huh? But Charlette can regenerate... if she can heal, it's just a little scuffle, right? Like, um, flirting?"

Rose gave a thumbs up: "Why am I not surprised, it's the demons? I should be glad I'm also a demon now."
