"It seems it's really over."

 Despite the minor hiccups caused by Diddy Maxwell's appearance.

 However, the entire "Demon King Execution Ritual" proceeded from beginning to end according to the Holy Church's plan.

 The only loss is the "Demon King's Soul" that was reversed and forged.

 But for the Holy Church, which was eager to cover up the "Demon King's escape," this level of cost was practically zero.

 Those kingdom residents and demi-humans who came from all over the country have witnessed this grand annual spectacle in its entirety, and it's perfectly reasonable to say that their trip was "worth it."

 In addition, the benefits it brings are countless.

 The Kingdom's security department has done a lot during this time, especially carrying out a thorough purge of the increasingly active evil cults.

 Although they are always as difficult to burn as weeds, the fact that "the Demon King is dead" will cause a large number of evil cults to lose their backbone.

 The kingdom will then enjoy a long period of stability.

 This is more beneficial than harmful to the development of the kingdom.

 At least Arvit and Claire didn't waste their time.

 And Darko Dimon also had a happy weekend.

 "I feel like I haven't had enough."

 "I thought something even more exciting was going to happen."

 "Like a major event that forced me to leave the Duke's mansion."

 "But not at all (_)."

 Through the projection, Dark watched the bishops carrying the Demon King's corpse onto the carriage and stroked his chin.

 "You don't have a beard, what are you touching?"

 Pandora touched his chin.

 Dak blushed and quickly looked away.

 Aurora glanced at it and gripped her fingers tightly.

 ……

 “Dark”.

 Just as Dark was pondering what to do next, Professor Cazell suddenly called his name.

 Dark asked quickly, "What's wrong, Professor?"

 Kazel took a slight breath and said, "I might not be able to teach you the 'Transfiguration Charm' for a while."

 Dark observed Professor Cazell's expression through Irene's eyes, and smiled gently, "It's alright, Professor. I can ask Professor Claire for advice, and there's no rush."

 Professor Cazell said regretfully, "I was originally going to check if you had relaxed too much this summer..."

 Dark's eyelids twitched, and he quickly changed the subject: "What about Professor Sylph and Professor Lily?"

 Lily playfully stuck out her tongue.

 Professor Sylph said helplessly, "Although I would love to visit you, I can't just let those two run around like that. I'll have to wait for another opportunity to visit."

 Dark said regretfully, "That's true. In that case, I can only wish you all the best."

 Professor Sylph smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

 Although it was not explicitly stated.

 But they were clearly preparing to go find Didi Maxwell.

 When Darke recognized the butterfly as Professor Didi, he had somewhat anticipated this outcome.

 他倒也不不外。

 It's just a bit of a shame.

 Everyone has their own perspective, and what they see from their own perspective is not the same.

 But ultimately, it is oneself who makes the choice.

Chapter 512 The Demon King's Soul and Corpse (4k)

 "Eve, zoom in!"

 伊芙立刻通过对脑中信息的处理,将伊琳眼中看到的画面快速放大。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;

 Although the clarity is reduced as a result, the image is actually more expressive.

 The first thing shown on the projection was two bishops with panicked expressions.

 Before the two bishops stood the carriage on which the Demon King's corpse had just been placed.

 Now everyone in St. Louis Square knows that it was a corpse.

 Just before, Dark had personally witnessed the two bishops carrying the Demon King's corpse into the carriage.

 But now things have clearly changed!

 The two bishops stared intently into the carriage, one of them suddenly leaping onto it. The other quickly turned and headed towards the direction of the Pope and the archbishop.

 Shortly afterward, the Pope and the archbishop, having been informed, rushed over, their faces grim.

 Then a group of people surrounded the carriage, whispering among themselves, trying their best to hide the panic in their eyes.

 ……

 Even though the interior of the carriage cannot be seen from this vantage point, one can still roughly guess what is going on.

 "Could it be..."

 Dark couldn't help but speculate.

 Inside the teahouse, Little Lily poked her head out of the window and exclaimed excitedly, "That's all! That's all!"

 "What's gone?" Professor Sylph asked, frowning.

 Lily glanced around furtively, as if she had discovered some secret, and whispered, "The Demon King's corpse is gone!"

 Everyone's eyes widened in shock!

 No one doubted the little fairy's words.

 If the demon king's corpse had suddenly disappeared in the carriage, it would explain why the church members looked so alarmed.

 Although the corpse seems to be of no use now...

 But those who presided over the ceremony knew that the Demon King's soul still existed somewhere in the world.

 "But who could steal a corpse right under the Pope's nose?"

 Aurora exclaimed in shock.

 "Could they be remnants of the demon race? Or perhaps those secret cults?"

 Unfortunately, no one could answer her question.

 Even the Pope and the archbishop in question were completely baffled.

 Even the Pope, who had maintained a dignified demeanor throughout, couldn't help but twitch his lips at this moment.

 However, during this particular period, he couldn't afford to fly into a rage and order an immediate investigation.

 Therefore, Dark and the others then saw them quickly separate and board the carriage as if nothing had happened, and then urge the pure white unicorn to unleash its power, spreading its wings on both sides of the gilded carriage.

 Under the collective gaze of the crowd, the carriages took off and gradually disappeared from the direction they had come from.

 Few people knew that the carriage in the middle, which had carried the Demon King's corpse, was now empty.

 ……

 As the saying goes, everyone has their own strengths and specializations.

 Even Alvitt and Claire only sensed the anomaly at this moment, but they couldn't penetrate the carriage's barrier like the little fairy could, and see through its empty interior.

 To most outsiders, this "Demon King Execution Ritual" was an unprecedented success.

 Although they could not be certain that the "immortal demon king" had actually been killed.

 But since the Holy Church has said so, let's just believe it for now.

 In any case, the Demon King's corpse has been kept in a seal by the Holy Church for many years without any problems.

 No matter how negative one's impression of Christianity may be, it is undeniable that Christianity has a very profound history.

 Therefore, under normal circumstances, one can take today as fact and naturally celebrate the "death of the Demon King"!

 At this moment, people from all over the world are gathered in the capital. These people are natural tourists and consumers. If we don't treat them to a big meal... no, I mean give them a big welcome, how can we express the enthusiasm of the capital?

 Therefore, with the departure of the Pope and others, the priests of the Holy Church began to direct the knights to dismantle the altar and clean up the traces, and people rushed to various consumer venues.

 A celebration is inevitable.

 ……

 "Convene a sacred judgment meeting!"

 As soon as he was out of the public eye, Pope Sixtus St. Patricia immediately took a nitroglycerin pill to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

 As he gets older, his rapidly aging body makes it harder for him to control his emotions as he did when he was younger.

 This "demon king execution ceremony," which appeared to be an unprecedented success to outsiders, was originally held under immense pressure.

 The ceremony appears to be progressing smoothly overall, but two major flaws have emerged at crucial points.

 First, the gates to the underworld were opened—although it was only a tiny hole, no bigger than a pinhole, the "soul of the Demon King" that they had painstakingly crafted was sucked into the underworld, and the consequences were unpredictable.

 Moreover, the brief connection between the underworld and the real world itself would bring about enormous problems.

 No one knows what strange things leaked from the underworld during that period.

 The handling of these strange objects falls within the purview of the Holy Church.

 The seriousness of the matter even prevented them from investigating the loss of the "Demon King's Soul".

 And the second vulnerability...

 The theft of the Demon King's corpse is, in some ways, even more infuriating than the loss of the "Demon King's soul."

 This is not only a serious provocation against the authority of the Holy Church, but also a severe blow to the current situation.

 "The Demon King's Soul" is, after all, a reconstructed fake, and on the surface, it should have been disposed of anyway.

 However, the Demon King's corpse should rightfully be preserved by the Holy Church.

 If anyone investigates, they won't be able to produce a second body.

 However, the above issues are actually just problems on the part of the Holy Church.

 The real trouble lies in the fact that the "Demon King's corpse" is actually a huge "demon gene bank"!

 Although that's not how it's called within the Holy Church.

 But none of this can change this fact.

 The "immortal demon king" has thousands upon thousands of "vessels".

 And for each container he creates, he gains the innate traits of that container.

 For example, after turning a vampire into a vessel, he gains the ability of "embrace".

 In doing so, he merged almost all the bloodlines of the demon race.

 Although some of its bloodline could not be activated, it remained within its corpse.

 This means that almost all the bloodlines of the demon race can be separated from the Demon King's corpse!

 The loss of the "Demon King's corpse" is probably many times more serious for the Holy Church than the "Demon King's reincarnation"!
