Upon seeing this, King Orpheus and the others' expressions changed drastically.
They hurriedly unleashed their defensive abilities, but their defenses proved incredibly fragile in the face of this powerful purifying light.
"No! This is impossible!"
King Orpheus let out a desperate scream.
His body gradually began to be injured under the light of purification.
The other four demon kings were not spared either, all suffering injuries from the purifying light.
Chapter 905: Unity may not be without a chance of victory!
King Orpheus looked at the injuries of the four demon kings, his heart filled with resentment and frustration.
He never expected that Lin Che could unleash such powerful strength.
Not only did they repeatedly thwart their attacks, but they also put them in such a wretched situation.
And this time!
The other four demon kings also looked extremely ugly, casting resentful glances at King Orpheus.
"King Orpheus, didn't you say that Lin Che could be dealt with easily?"
"Look at the state we've become!"
One of the demon kings roared angrily.
"That's right, if you hadn't insisted on doing it this way, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
Another demon king echoed this sentiment.
King Orpheus frowned, suppressing his anger as he spoke:
"Everyone, please be patient!"
"I miscalculated this time, but things are not beyond repair yet."
"Hmph, at this point, how do you still expect to salvage the situation?"
A demon king looked on with disdain.
King Orpheus took a deep breath and slowly said:
"Although Lin Che is strong, he must be at his limit right now. As long as we unite as one, we may still have a chance of winning."
"Unity? We were united before, and we still got beaten up like this!"
A demon king retorted with a cold laugh.
King Orpheus knew that if he didn't appease them now, they might desert their posts.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"If this succeeds, I promise that in the new world, your status will be more esteemed than before, and your benefits will be doubled."
Upon hearing this, the demon kings' anger subsided somewhat, but they still harbored doubts.
"What guarantee do you have?"
King Orpheus said with a firm look in his eyes.
"I swear by the source of darkness that if I break this oath, I will suffer eternal damnation."
The demon kings exchanged glances, weighed the pros and cons, and ultimately chose to temporarily trust King Orpheus.
Lin Che stood not far away, quietly watching the group of demon kings fight amongst themselves and then reconcile.
He knew these demon kings wouldn't give up easily, and an even fiercer battle was inevitable.
After calming down the other demon kings, King Orpheus turned his gaze to Lin Che once again.
He knew in his heart that a direct assault might not be enough to win; perhaps he should try to persuade them to surrender.
"Lin Che, look at your current state. You and your companions are both exhausted."
King Orpheus said loudly.
“If this continues, you will all die, and the world will fall into endless chaos.”
Lin Che snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"King Orpheus, stop with the pretense. If you truly cared about this world, you wouldn't have started this war."
King Orpheus smiled.
"Lin Che, you're too naive."
"The world needs a change, and everything I do is for the purpose of building a stronger and more orderly world."
"Your so-called order is nothing but slavery under a dark rule."
Lin Che retorted without holding back.
King Orpheus, not angry, continued:
"Lin Che, just think how wonderful it would be if you submitted to me and we joined hands."
"With your abilities combined with mine, we will surely be able to create a world unlike any other."
"In this world, there is no conflict, and everyone can possess great power."
"absurd!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Che immediately shouted angrily.
"The power of purification and the power of darkness are incompatible; you are talking nonsense."
King Orpheus, however, remained calm and composed upon hearing this.
"Lin Che, have you never considered that the essence of power is neither good nor evil? The key lies in the user's purpose."
Chapter 906: Instead of just persuasion, we've decided to try a different strategy!
"If we can make good use of both, we will surely usher in a new era."
Lin Che's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure.
He knew full well that King Orpheus's words were seductive and should not be easily believed.
“King Orpheus, your words cannot deceive me. The power of darkness will only bring destruction. I will never collude with you.”
Seeing that Lin Che remained unmoved, King Orpheus grew somewhat anxious.
He turned to the other four demon kings, signaling them to join in the persuasion.
A demon king stepped forward and said:
"You should know that with your current strength, it's almost impossible for you to completely defeat us."
"It's better to join than to perish together; at least you and your companions can save your lives."
"That's right, as long as you nod, we guarantee we won't harm you or those knights."
Another demon king chimed in.
Looking at these demon kings, Lin Che couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust.
"Do you think I'd believe that? Do you think I'd forget all the evil deeds I committed before?"
Seeing this, King Orpheus knew that simple persuasion would probably not work, so he decided to change his strategy.
"Lin Che, if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your companions."
"They've risked their lives for you, do you really want them all to die here?"
Lin Che's gaze swept over Alice and the other Knights of Light beside him.
Although they were exhausted, their eyes were still full of determination.
"They, like me, have their own beliefs and will never bow to darkness."
"belief?"
King Orpheus sneered.
"What is the value of faith in the face of absolute power?"
"Look at this world, how many people have lost their lives in vain because of their so-called beliefs."
"It is because of our beliefs that this world is worth protecting."
Lin Che responded without backing down.
King Orpheus was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Lin Che, if you insist on not submitting, how about we make a bet?"
"bet?"
Lin Che looked at King Orpheus with a puzzled expression.
“That’s right, we will each send one representative to a one-on-one duel.”
