Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

Chapter 1589: Chapter 1589: Dimensionality Reduction Strike

Duo Luo took a long breath and cursed Dark Cloud in his heart:

"That guy, Dark Cloud, wasn’t he supposed to stay in that human relic? Why did he suddenly bring a bunch of humans back?"

Having come this far, Duo Luo absolutely couldn’t allow anyone like Cheng Yaojin to interfere at the last moment.

Since Yang Yu and his group came to meet the Queen, they should all be kept here to prevent any unexpected incidents.

"Let’s leave our battle for next time!"

Duo Luo pushed aside the sword before him, causing the red-and-white Nine-Life Cat Demon to nearly lose balance and sit on the ground.

Even to this day, he still found it hard to believe that the mighty predecessor would commit such a rebellious act:

"Predecessor, why did you choose to rebel against the Queen? Has she ever wronged you?"

Duo Luo did not reply; he simply drew a sharp knife and swung it at Yang Yu without hesitation.

Yang Yu stood still, having long anticipated Duo Luo’s knife movement, and easily caught the blade with two fingers.

No matter how hard he tried, Duo Luo couldn’t pull the sword blade from between Yang Yu’s fingers.

The surrounding Nine-Life Cat Demons showed expressions of shock that their leader’s attack was easily caught by Yang Yu.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several shots rang out, and a few Nine-Life Cat Demons not far from Yang Yu raised their submachine guns, aiming and firing at him.

A golden Shield instantly rose from Yang Yu, enveloping him completely.

The guns used by the Nine-Life Cat Demons were much smaller than those used by humans, not powerful enough to penetrate the Holy Light Shield created by Iyas.

Yang Yu reached out with another hand to grab Duo Luo.

Duo Luo quickly reacted, instantly letting go of the sword handle, used a Skill, and flashed away from Yang Yu.

Yang Yu remained calm, as the attribute values of the Nine-Life Cat Demons here were much lower than expected, making it a one-sided show of force for him.

As soon as Duo Luo reappeared, Yang Yu was by his side, grabbing one of his legs and lifting him upside down.

The previously chaotic battlefield became silent with this action by Yang Yu; no one expected the battle to end just as it began.

"Let go of me, let go of me! You damned human, what do you intend to do with me?"

Held by one leg, Duo Luo did not yield, showing his sharp claws, searching for Yang Yu’s weaknesses, attempting to escape his grasp.

Yet, Yang Yu stood motionless, allowing the disobedient little cat to scratch him.

Yawning heavily, Yang Yu shot a glare at the Dark Cloud not far away:

"If you don’t want to see me angry, then continue leading us to meet the Queen here."

Dark Cloud refused to speak, lowered his head, letting his body move freely, passing through the halted battlefield, heading into the high tower.

Grabbing the captured Duo Luo, Yang Yu and his group swaggered into the high tower, leaving the stunned Nine-Life Cat Demons behind.

The Nine-Life Cat Demons looked at each other in disbelief, temporarily put down their weapons, quietly moved to the side, and waited silently.

Upon entering the high tower, Bai Jin and his group were immediately attracted by its splendor. Inside the tower, each Nine-Life Cat Demon performed their duties as if the outside battle and Yang Yu’s arrival had nothing to do with them.

Yang Yu and the others headed straight for the elevator at the center of the high tower.

Even without any instructions inside the elevator, the designs on the buttons indicated that the Nine-Life Cat Demons’ Queen was located at the highest floor.

Without hesitation, Yang Yu pressed the button for the top floor, preparing for their meeting with the Nine-Life Cat Demons’ Queen.

With no way to deal with Yang Yu, Duo Luo’s face turned ashen; he hadn’t expected his long-planned scheme to fall apart at such a crucial moment.

Ceasing his struggle, Duo Luo fixed his cat-like eyes on Yang Yu and said:

"I know you are very strong.

If someone as powerful as you helps us, we are sure to win in the end.

I never imagined humans would appear here at this time.

I don’t know why you are here, but the reasons are nothing more than a few.

Hear me out... I would satisfy all your requests as much as possible, even offering all ownerless items from the Maze Management Department to you.

After all, those things would be unnecessary once we succeed.

I beg you to let me go and help us deal with the Nine-Life Cat Demons’ Queen."

Yang Yu smiled at Duo Luo:

"I fully understand your offer. As for whether to accept it, that depends on what offer your Queen will give us."

Having nothing to say, Duo Luo became more compliant, no longer struggling, folding his paws across his chest.

"Ding" sound marked the arrival of Yang Yu’s group at the top floor of the tower.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and bright lights instantly flooded the space where Yang Yu and his group stood.

A woman in a pale yellow gown lay on a massive white bed, propped on one elbow, with furry cat ears standing erect on her head, a striped tail draped across her side to her abdomen.

Unlike an ordinary cat tail, its striped end forked into two, curling slightly like a budding fern.

The woman on the white bed was the Nine-Life Cat Demons’ Queen.

Before reaching here, Bai Jin and the others had imagined the Nine-Life Cat Demons’ Queen to be a bigger version of a Nine-Life Cat Demon, only to find her in the form of a cat-beastman.

The Nine-Life Cat Demons’ Queen yawned, sat up from the bed, put on slippers, and said with a smile:

"A truly rare guest.

It must be hundreds of years since other humans visited here, starting from that time?

I am the leader of the Nine-Life Cat Demons, named All-knowing.

What brings you here?"

Handing Duo Luo over to the unafraid Gao Yuanyi, Yang Yu took out the gathered pages from the Hall of History within the system and presented them to the Queen All-knowing:

"Your Majesty, you must have translated this book in the past, right?

Our era and the ancient times have a vast divide; many texts have been completely lost, and we have no way to decipher its contents. Could you help enlighten us?

Would you kindly explain what it says, ideally providing a word-by-word translation?

Additionally, I have other matters I’d like to consult Her Majesty about.

If Her Majesty the Empress thinks my accomplishments aren’t enough for your help, I am willing to offer my services to your command."

The All-knowing Queen offered a gentle smile: "Actually, there is no need to be so courteous. Assisting you in this manner is my duty.

It’s my obligation to the descendants of the creator to journey in this way.

However, before answering you, there’s a little matter I need to address first."
