The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 12, I, the man who hunts demons!

When he made eye contact with Li Xingzhou.

Iliana thought his eyes were incredibly bright, and deep within those dark pupils, there seemed to be some kind of crystalline shimmer.

Although the light was fleeting, and Li Xingzhou's pupils returned to their tranquil, deep blackness, like the night sky, Iliana was certain that this was not an illusion caused by his handsome appearance and charming smile.

She did see a light deep in his eyes, a strange light that seemed to originate from his soul.

However, she didn't intend to investigate further.

Everyone has secrets.

Especially for superhumans like Li Xingzhou with special abilities, it's best not to investigate their secrets out of curiosity, otherwise it could easily provoke resentment and turn friends into enemies.

However, there's one thing she still needs to ask:

Why did Freddy become like this?

Li Xingzhou spoke casually:
"He wanted to create a scary atmosphere in my dream to frighten me. But I used a little mind control to scare him, and that's how it turned out."

"Is that all?" Iliana looked suspicious, clearly not believing it.

"That's all." Li Xingzhou smiled and spread his hands, feeling a sense of fullness emanating from the depths of his primordial spirit.

Of course, things weren't as simple as he made them out to be.

The truth is that Freddy is now almost nothing but an empty shell; all his power has been almost completely devoured by Li Xingzhou's "Heavenly Demon Soul Devouring Technique".

Although Freddy is an immortal demon that is difficult to eradicate completely, he can only return to Hell now. It will take him many years to recover before he can return to Earth.

As a nightmare demon, Freddy's power leans towards the mind and spirit. Therefore, Li Xingzhou, who devoured all of Freddy's power, received a great boost to his primordial spirit, which increased significantly.

The primordial spirit, which had been burdened by suppressing Jason and occasionally suffered from migraines, suddenly felt relieved.

So Iriana wasn't mistaken.

Li Xingzhou's eyes were indeed shining.

That's a phenomenon that occurs when the primordial spirit grows stronger and spiritual power overflows; in layman's terms, it's called "generating electricity in a void."

Iliana gazed at Li Xingzhou, her tone somewhat solemn:

"The power of demons is indeed very strong and useful. But everything comes at a price. Abusing the power of demons will awaken the dark desires deep within people's hearts, gradually causing their minds to lean towards darkness and evil, and ultimately leading them to fall into demonic ways..."

Although Li Xingzhou's words were not entirely true, Iliana still discerned something from Freddy's weakness.

She knew very well that Freddy's power wouldn't disappear for no reason, so where did his lost power go?
It could only be taken over by Li Xingzhou.

"Don't worry." Li Xingzhou smiled slightly: "My heart is filled with light, and all my actions are righteous. I'm not bragging, but my moral standards are as lofty as America, the beacon of humanity."

"..."

Iliana's expression was strange. From a purely propaganda standpoint, America seemed to be a beacon of humanity, a land of glory, a chosen one. But the reality of America…

In short, even though Iliana didn't care much about politics, she knew just how questionable the beautiful woman's moral standards were.

"Actually, I don't think the power of demons is as terrible as you say."

At this moment, Li Xingzhou said in a relaxed tone:

“You are the Lord of Hell, a true great demon in the eyes of the demons of Hell, but I think you are quite good, and you have not become an evil and depraved madman.”

“That’s because I have an unbreakable mental barrier.” Iliana said this, but in her heart she thought to herself: Who said I’m not affected? I also turn dark sometimes, and when I go crazy, even I’m afraid of myself.

However, just as Li Xingzhou said, she herself was using the power of hell, and occasionally, when she overused it, her body would develop demonic features such as horns and a tail. She really had no right to lecture Li Xingzhou. Therefore, she could only warn him:
"I've already warned you. If your heart cannot resist the erosion of demonic power and you eventually fall into demonic ways, harming humanity, then I will have no choice but to personally drag you back to hell."

“No problem.” Li Xingzhou nodded slightly, his face serious. “Just reserve a room for me in your hell palace.”

Iliana's eyes widened:
After you turned into a demon, you actually wanted to live in my palace?
I am different from other hell lords. Demons who harm the human world will not receive any reward from me. Instead, they will be imprisoned in my dungeon!

Seeing Iliana's adorable expression, Li Xingzhou stood up and walked over to her. With an extremely natural and familiar gesture, he gently placed his hands on her shoulders, looked down into her eyes, and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, if you're really worried, you're welcome to keep an eye on me at all times. If you'd like... I can also prepare a room for you in my house."

Looking at Li Xingzhou's smile so close to her, into his calm and deep black eyes, and feeling the slightly aggressive heat emanating from him, Iliana felt a sudden panic and guiltily turned her head away from his gaze.

At that moment, she felt her heart pounding, and her ears and cheeks felt slightly hot. This unusual reaction made her wonder:
"Could this guy have used a telepathic ability on me?"

But the problem is...

Her mental defenses were impenetrable. Even if Li Xingzhou was a very powerful psychic, capable of persuading demons with words and intimidating nightmares in his dreams, he should still be unable to break through her mental defenses and stir her heartstrings.

Besides, she really hadn't noticed any signs of mental intrusion.

Whether it's a racing heart or flushed cheeks, it all seems to stem from his gaze, his smile, his breath...

Iriana looks very cool and powerful—the lord of the borderlands, the queen who rules and whips demons—but in reality, she's actually quite simple-minded.

When she was only seven years old, she was captured by the sorcerer Velasco and taken to the edge of Hell. She stayed in Hell for seven years until she learned a lot of dark magic, her abilities grew explosively, she defeated Velasco, and ruled the edge of Hell before returning to reality.

Therefore, Iriana spent her most crucial learning and growth period in the monotonous and tedious Hell's Borderlands, completely untouched by the corruption of reality.

Her mindset was, of course, far more innocent than that of girls her age who grew up in the real world.

Therefore, when she faced a formidable villain like Li Xingzhou, she was truly at a loss.

"Damn it! If this guy falls into demonic ways, he'll definitely be the legendary succubus!"

As she was muttering to herself in a jumbled mess, Li Xingzhou's left hand, which was resting on her shoulder, suddenly slid down and wrapped around her slender yet firm waist. His right hand went even further, gently lifting her chin.

Before Iliana could decide whether to sternly rebuke him for his disrespect towards the Queen of Hell, or simply slap his hand away and conjure a flaming whip to lash him mercilessly...

Li Xingzhou lowered his head without any hesitation and kissed her soft, sweet lips.
