Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 206 Mission: 06-3 Trouble comes from the mouth
"Do you...know a demon named Mundus?"

Faced with this question raised by V very cautiously, Nero instantly knew that V regarded himself as a demon with a similar background as Tracy.

Indeed, at this moment Nero did not have the power of a descendant of Sparta, so it was a bit of a stretch to say that she was a descendant of Sparta.

However, V's guess at this point was also a fluke. He was half human, meaning he had no demonic blood at all. In this respect, he was no different from Nero, who had sealed his powers. Naturally, he couldn't sense any power in Nero. His reason for judging Nero not to be of Spartan descent was actually quite simple—

On the one hand, Nero's hair wasn't silver, but blond. V thought the Spartan genes were quite strong, as both he and Dante had silver hair, so their descendants should also have silver hair.

However, the above one is not convincing evidence. What really made V come to this conclusion was the second one: given Nero's personality, she could not be Dante's daughter.

As for what Dante's child should look like in V's eyes - just look at the "F**K man" in the distance.

Yeah. That's what it will be, no doubt.

V still remembered how Dante, who clearly didn't like reading, had insisted on snatching his books and forcing him to fight with Dante. A man like that could only raise an uneducated and wild child, not the elegant and polite lady before him.

However, these were all V's thoughts, and Nero had no way of knowing them yet. She only knew that V clearly didn't consider himself a descendant of Sparta, and she didn't happen to be one either. So why not take advantage of his situation?
It's a good thing V appeared in front of Nero in his human form. If he had accidentally let out the word "power" during their meeting, Nero might have had a hard time restraining himself from striking him.

After all, Vergil, who sealed his humanity for the sake of power, is handsome, but to Nero, he really deserves a beating.

Or maybe Dante didn't hit him lightly back then.

But how did V end up here? —The Yama Blade should still be in Nero's hands.

"Of course I am." Nero chuckled and replied with doubts: "My father is the emperor of the demon world."

Nero was not lying.

Indeed, not at all. Because the appearance of V proves that "Urizen", the demonic side of Vergil, has also been born, and that demon truly calls himself the "King of the Demon World" -

But to V's ears, these words certainly couldn't have meant this.

He would just feel that his guess was correct.

Just as V's pupils suddenly contracted, the sharp-tongued Griffin appeared from behind him again: "Hey, little girl, you said the Demon Emperor is your father. Does He know about this?"

"Alright, Griffin." V quickly suppressed his emotions and stopped the familiar beside him from speaking. When he spoke again, his tone was a little more distant: "It's okay. Whether you are still loyal to the Demon Emperor or not, we are not enemies now. Since you are also from the Demon Realm, you should understand the goal of this game, right?"

"The fruit of the Demon World Tree."

"That's right." V nodded, taking two steps forward with his cane. "The demon who eats that fruit will be the true king of the demon world. Right now, there is a demon sitting on the throne in that tree."

This truly alarmed Nero. Urizen, Vergil's demonic half, a super-demon that even Dante couldn't defeat, a being likely even more powerful than the Demon Emperor before consuming the fruit, had actually appeared alongside the Demon Realm Tree. At that moment, Nero recalled Lin's plan for stealing the fruits of victory, realizing that the Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six was far more elaborate than she had anticipated.

Because the appearance of Urizen means that there are two solutions to this game——

One is to defeat Urizen and give the fruit of the Demon World Tree to the [Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six], which is the rule of the game that Lin envisioned at the beginning.

The second path was to voluntarily hand over the fruit of the Demon World Tree to Urizen. This approach also fulfilled the requirement of "giving the kingship of the beast to the true beast." If Nero's predictions were correct, then under this scenario, the "Beast of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six" would likely anoint Urizen as the new Demon King!

"I assume you don't want a new Demon Emperor to be born, right?" V continued, "regardless of your perspective."

The explosive news still made Nero frown slightly: "Although what you said makes sense, it doesn't mean that I will join forces with you."

"Of course you have to join forces with me," V said. "We have a common goal, and neither of us can accomplish it alone."

Honestly, Nero couldn't even defeat Dante, so there was no way she could defeat Urizen. Not to mention she had sealed the Yama Blade and the Blood of Sparta. Nero had some self-awareness. Upon hearing this news from V, her first reaction was to wonder if anyone in this game was reliable.

As for V? It's hard to believe he's reliable. All his power comes from his three familiars, and with his battered body, he'd better figure out how to survive against Urizen first.

"I'm sorry, but you look unreliable to me."

Nero answered bluntly.

After saying this, she saw V grit his teeth, as if he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle. After a moment, he spoke:
"Although you may not believe it, I am the only one who can take the fruit from that devil. Because..."

"Because you are a descendant of Sparta?"

V just looked up with a surprised expression, and saw Nero teasing with a face that couldn't help laughing: "I knew it when you called mom just now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on V's face suddenly became awkward.

"I'm sorry, I...I just missed her so much."

This was incredibly embarrassing. Calling a young woman "Mom" when meeting her for the first time was probably the first thing V wanted to forget in his life.

The familiar Griffin, who was watching the fun, laughed at his master loudly: "Hey V, just admit it openly and say 'I am Oedipus'--"

A silver cane hit it hard on the head, and Griffin suddenly somersaulted in the air, flapping his wings and laughing "Ga Ga", and said again: "Oh~ little girl, can you please be the mother of this poor person who lacks maternal love——"

The silver cane fell upon Griffin's head once again. This time, enraged and humiliated, V refused to hold back, ruthlessly capturing the talkative familiar and transforming it into a magic core that temporarily silenced it.
