The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

(A lucky chapter; I hope your gacha pulls don't end up like this.)

The dark clouds that had obscured the sky dispersed, revealing a crescent moon and a sky full of stars. Even though the magical light had faded, visibility improved somewhat at night.

Gray stood in front of the abandoned house, head bowed in deep thought, the moonlight casting his solitary shadow.

The bishop is dead, and he was just a beast of the demonic order; he doesn't deserve any sympathy.

But before he died, he showed his face and silenced Gray.

Gray's consciousness immersed itself in the sea of ​​spirit, searching for the records of heroes in the Demon King's legacy.

It's a mystery how the sage who created the Demon King's legacy managed to cram such a massive amount of information into the minds of successive Demon Kings. Even more incredible is its ability to actively seek out new Demon Kings.

In the hero's records, the Demon King's legacy contains images of heroes from past generations, which Gray would occasionally flip through when he was bored.

"It really is him, the 50th generation hero, Gavin Mars."

Having found the information he wanted, Gray frowned.

Comparing the image of Gavin Mars in the Demon King's legacy with the aged face revealed by the lifting of the gray robe, the similarity is very high. In addition, the words he said before his death basically confirm his identity.

The time it takes for a hero or demon king to pass through a generation is not constant. It can be as short as ten years or as long as several decades. There is no particular pattern to it.

As for the 50th generation hero, it is not surprising that the heroes of the previous three generations of Gray have survived to this day.

In a world where magic exists and fantastical powers exist, human professionals live longer than ordinary people, but the longest they can live is no more than two hundred years.

In terms of lifespan, they are completely incomparable to long-lived species such as dragons, elves, and vampires.

The question is, why did this former hero, the human hero who killed the former Demon King, join the Demon Order and even become a bishop?

Moreover, the words he spoke before being consumed by the magical light were of unclear meaning, but contained a great deal of information.

An endless cycle of reincarnation? Does this world, like in infinite flow novels, have an end and a cycle of reincarnation?

If that's the case, how often does the cycle repeat?

Will it end in ten years? Or in a hundred?

And what about His palm? Who is He? Is He the angel in the legends of the Holy Light Church, as confirmed by Bai Lin?

Gray felt a headache coming on and a bit of regret.

The bishop of the Lust and Pleasure faction of this demonic cult, a former hero, seems to know quite a few secrets.

Should we leave someone alive to gather intelligence?

Gray felt like his mind was a complete mess.

Shake your head vigorously to shake out the jumbled thoughts in your mind.

Gray walked back down into the abandoned house, going in the opposite direction from where he had exited the basement.

I wonder how Zeta and the others are doing with it.

The gaping hole left by Zeta smashing open the gate remained unchanged, and gusts of cold wind blew out from the opening, carrying the smell of blood.

"Boss!"

As soon as they entered, Zeta, covered in blood, lunged at them, only to be disdainfully swatted away by Gray.

"Don't rush at me covered in blood!" Gray snapped, the feeling of blood sticking to his skin was unpleasant.

Gray's voice softened as he stopped Zeta from wiping the blood off her body.

"How's it going? You're not hurt, are you?"

"Hmm! They're just small fry, they can't hurt Zeta!"

With her eyes sparkling like a dog's, Zeta looked very excited.

"These people are..."

Gray looked around and saw several demi-humans sitting blankly on the ground amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

An object of pleasure used by cultists.

After silently praying for these unfortunate demi-humans for a moment, Gray asked, "What about the others?"

The dog sat on the ground, scratching its head with its bloodied paws, and it took it a while to remember.

"They said they went to rescue the other hostages and also to thoroughly investigate this place. Zeta is responsible for waiting for the boss here!"

Normally, thanks to the pet filter, Gray always thought this dog was quite cute, but now that it's covered in blood, even the best filter will fail.

Gray raised his hand and used his magic to condense a small water ball, which hit the dog and exploded, washing away some of the blood red on her body.

Gray can use some basic magic from various schools. Don't forget that the Brant family took his education seriously and hired a magician to teach him.

Although he only showed a little talent in order to avoid showing off, Gray actually had some skill.

"Zeta, wash off the blood, you're filthy."

Upon hearing this, the dog immediately distanced itself from Gray, showing strong protest.

"No! Taking a bath is too much trouble!"

Gray wasn't surprised. After all, what pet likes taking a bath? Cat owners would suffer a lot if they wanted to give their masters a bath, and dogs probably felt the same way.

So Gray unleashed his killing move.

"If you don't wash it clean, I won't let you rub it on me."

Zeta squatted down, thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and finally slowly walked over, revealing a wronged little expression.

"OK then……"

As he spoke, he ripped off his black robe, revealing a shockingly white, unsightly object.

Gray immediately turned his head away, avoiding looking at what was inappropriate, and silently began to chant a basic water spell.

This girl really doesn't know how to avoid things, but expecting a pet dog to understand these things is asking too much of her.

And this girl has a really good figure, only worse than Kappa's.

Um...that fits the pattern of Xiong Da being brainless.

Big Bear: What did I do to deserve this?

Not long after, a ball of flesh crashed into them.

This feel...

"Zeta, get dressed!"

When the waiters returned, they saw Zeta lying in Gray's arms with her clothes disheveled, while Gray repeatedly patted her head.

The waiters were not surprised to see this, nor did they suspect that the two had done something while they were away.

Having followed Zeta for so many years, they all know what kind of person their boss is, and they trust Gray, their legendary Shadow Lord.

Believe what? Believe that humans don't experience estrus with animals...

Zeta is definitely the least authoritative and least respected of the Ten Kage.

A top-tier war machine—that's Zeta's defining characteristic.

"Lord Shadow Demon." Number 0233 bowed and began to report.

"This operation annihilated 312 members of the Lust and Pleasure faction of the Demonic Order, including five high priests, fourteen priests, one bishop, and one succubus."

A total of twenty-three people participated in the operation.

"Rescue the hostages; 243 demi-humans and one elf."

"Hmm." Hearing the cold data, Gray felt no longer any emotion.

Those who wish to join the Shadow Court can be accepted; the remaining demi-humans will be placed in Emily's village.

Wait... an elf?
