Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

Chapter 1579: Chapter 1579: You’ll Know When You Get There

Yang Yu remained silent.

Agares maintained a smile on his face without any change:

"Just consider it as if you weren’t aware at all.

To ask why I saved you, it’s a long story.

Whether you’ll become our enemy depends on your choice.

You have the book now and know how to travel to the Nine-Life Cat Demon Kingdom.

After interpreting that book and understanding the true history of the world, then make your choice."

Yang Yu asked, "Did you also receive a commission from Hero Lox?

Was the alliance with the Goblin Emperor to attack the Village of Heroes his plan too?"

"Eliminating them indeed has its reasons.

If you want to know the answer, seek it out yourself."

Agares clearly didn’t want to reveal any more information.

No matter how much more Yang Yu asked, Agares would just brush him off with similar responses, so Yang Yu didn’t push further.

"I do want to decipher the book sooner.

But...

Given the current situation, you know it too.

If we let the Demon King grow unchecked, future battles will undoubtedly be more difficult than today.

Traveling to the Nine-Life Cat Demon Kingdom, it’s unclear how long it will take.

I intended to deal with the Demon King first, then decipher..."

Agares said, "There’s no need to worry excessively.

The flow of time in the Nine-Life Cat Demon Kingdom is entirely different from our reality.

The time flow there is about ten times faster than here.

The Nine-Life Cat Demons are very friendly to humans.

If nothing unfortunate occurs, you’ll meet the ruler there who can help translate the book."

Yang Yu was skeptical.

Agares continued:

"You don’t need to worry too much about the external battle.

This hero has grown, he should be able to fulfill his mission well, at least not make the current situation worse."

"Who knows?

I’ve dealt with him quite a bit, he’s not very stable.

If he could bear the responsibility of saving the world, I wouldn’t have to work so hard."

Agares chose not to continue on that topic: "The decision is in your hands.

Thus far, you’ve been striving to uncover the truth of this world to prevent making a wrong choice.

I trust you have your own judgment.

I’ve said all I wanted to say.

It’s roughly safe now.

I’ll leave you here."

As Agares finished speaking, the ground beneath Yang Yu and his companions suddenly shook and tilted sharply.

Bai Jin, Tico, and Li Yan quickly conjured several magic ropes, hanging everyone on the giant crocodile’s teeth to prevent from rolling into its belly and falling over.

The massive crocodile burst from the ground again, shaking its neck and flinging Yang Yu and the others onto the nearby ground.

In mid-air, Yang Yu rolled and landed steadily using the [Incredible Braking Boots].

Others landed safely either utilizing their agile bodies or with Bai Jin’s magic.

Yang Yu looked up; Agares, originally seated at the crocodile’s throat, somehow appeared on its head.

The huge crocodile rapidly shrank visibly, turning into a one-meter diameter, eye-bearing red pedestal.

"I hope after you learn the truth, you’ll become one of us.

I don’t mind you taking care of Marbas.

Though it will take time, we demons will be reborn in the abyss sealing us.

We can only be truly liberated by completing our mission."

Agares raised his magic wand, gave a simple farewell to Yang Yu and the others, and his figure began wavering in the air.

Gao Yuanyi hurried forward, agitated, and shouted:

"You mentioned rebirth, right!

Could you tell me something about rebirth?"

Gao Yuanyi’s question went unanswered as Agares completely vanished into thin air.

Helplessly clenching his fist, Gao Yuanyi seemed to calm and unclench it moments later.

Everyone present couldn’t believe the situation; they had been risking their lives against the Demon King just minutes ago, and now, they had reached a safe area, averting disaster.

Even more unbelievable was being rescued by a demon who should be their arch-enemy.

Bai Jin took a step forward, wanting to say something to Yang Yu.

Others had the same intention.

Yet, before they could speak, Gao Yuanyi suddenly turned around, revealing a green ghostly mask that instantly drew everyone’s gaze.

Not only was the rescue by a demon unbelievable, but this demon clan member, who had risked everything to save them, was equally extraordinary.

Who exactly was this demon? What was his motive for saving them? Was he truly trustworthy?

Various questions lingered in everyone’s minds.

Without warning, Gao Yuanyi summoned a colossal mechanical arm, [Laplace].

Everyone instantly became alert. Despite being saved by the demon, seeing him brandish a weapon raised suspicions of ulterior motives.

Gao Yuanyi was unconcerned about Bai Jin and the others’ reactions; he looked at the unfazed Yang Yu while equipping the divine artifact [Laplace].

The blue orb snugly fit into the groove of the mechanical glove, and blue light burst from the groove, spreading along the mechanical arm’s patterns to each part of the glove, leaving blue marks.

Gao Yuanyi chuckled and said, "No need to be so tense. I’m merely calling my partner."

Bai Jin and the others were puzzled, tilting their heads; was the weapon on his hand supposed to be his partner?

Gao Yuanyi raised the mechanical arm and softly said, "[Laplace], are you hiding from me?

It’s about time you showed yourself, or...

Do you think I’m an impostor?"

Laplace flickered and spoke: "Fool.

Your recklessness hasn’t changed a bit.

If possible, I still prefer fewer people knowing about my existence.

Instead, you completely exposed me!"

"Don’t worry.

They are trustworthy.

They might become our new allies."

[Laplace] expressed dissatisfaction: "It’s amazing that you can say that!

You’ve only met them for the first time!

You’ve always lived in the Demon World; how could you have met them?

Trusting others after just one meeting, you should really change this trait!"

Gao Yuanyi interrupted Laplace’s words:

"I don’t blindly trust anyone.

The reason I risked my life to save them has its own rationale.

If it wasn’t necessary, I could’ve taken you and escaped amid the chaos.

Initially, I felt he could help me, so I stepped in to assist...

But on the battlefield, I kept observing him.

During this observation, a certainty grew in my heart..."
