Volume 2: Hero Academia Chapter 86: The Maharaja and the True Trial
"I don't require you to eat well and dress well, you stinky boy can't treat yourself badly. But remember, being closed off is never your best option right now, and being absolutely rational doesn't mean you can make the right decision. Think of Satya, think of me and your mother. β
Before stepping into the teleportation tunnel, Russell looked back at Del Cola and said.
"I will. Delkora nodded earnestly.
The light shone into the room, and Russell disappeared into the dormitory.
Del Cora leaned back against the bookshelf and was silent for a while.
The door to the dormitory was closed, and the cacophony of students was still heard outside the window. But in the dormitory, at 302, the air gradually fell into an eerie silence.
Del Cola was still flipping through the books.
He seemed to be reading the book carefully, neither controlling the elements nor summoning the undead, and even the outgoing spiritual power was retracted. He had no artifact in his hand, no ring on his fingers, and the robe on his body was the most ordinary fabric. It can be said that the current Del Cola is in a completely undefended state.
Sfiodor remained as calm as his ancestors. β
The voices of women who could not be heard echoed in the dormitory. Wisps of black mist evaporated from the floor, and the environment inside the dormitory suddenly began to change, with furniture blurring and disappearing one by one. Del Cora watched all this with cold eyes, seeing that everything in his vision was filled with black fog, and the place filled by black fog was so consistent with the place where he was attacked last night.
"Isn't this actually a physical space, but a skill?" Delkora slowly turned around, and behind him was no longer a bookshelf, but an open but empty gray mist space, "The timing of your appearance was somewhat unexpected to me. I thought you'd keep waiting. β
"If your father, the older Sfiodor, hadn't shown up today, maybe I'd have waited a little longer. Even for us, it's too early. β
The female voice gradually solidified, but the voice seemed inexplicably familiar to Del Kora. The black mist solidified and dispersed in front of his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was a girl who didn't look very old-
The moment he saw the girl's face, Delkora couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then frowned.
"Sister Della ...... No, Sister Dela's body. β
What appeared in front of him was clearly the third-year student of the Magic Academy, Dela, who had a relationship with each other before and had been vinegared by Satya. But now her eyes are glowing with a strange red light, just like Chris, the elven mayor who was possessed by a demon in Logwood Town before.
Completely unexpected.
The worst and most likely scenario Del Cora envisioned was Satya's possession, but after only a brief thought, he had all the cause and effect in his mind.
"So, the beginning of these things at Reims Academy was when you took Satya with you yesterday morning...... But at that time, it should be Senior Sister Della who makes the decision. You didn't manipulate her with demonic powers. β
People who are manipulated by demons will have very obvious characteristics of demonic power, and as they are now, it is impossible for Del Kora not to detect them.
Even if he didn't have emotions, Del Kora's heart was slightly touched when he said thisβso many things had happened, so many sages had been affected, and so many turmoil that had forced the council chamber to make hasty decisions, in fact, only one day and one night had passed.
But he randomly rejects his speculation.
"No...... I'm sorry, I forgot, but the Thirteen Kings are powerful beings who live in the law of desire. I shouldn't have guessed by the level of ordinary demons. β
The identity of the person in front of him was already revealed.
"I just borrowed this body, just to deal with the recent emergency. "Sister Dela" sighed, "Sfiodor, I'm sure you've read the Dark Apocalypse and know the ancient covenants. Our people never come into contact with Sfiodor. β
It's the truth.
"But now that you've appeared, it's a sign that things are out of your control...... Actually, I can't understand it. Delcora shook his head, "The strength of the Thirteen Maharajas should be second only to that of Mr. Reims, and I can't imagine any situation beyond your control." Also, Lady Seduction, you and I should have been hidden from Satya this meeting, why is that?"
"I'll answer your questions β but only these two questions. You've got to the point. The Enchanting Lord sighed, "The Demon Continent is no longer under our control. β
"Because you haven't been back for 10,000 years?"
"Yes, at the time we left, the demons were just a weak race that had just opened their wisdom with the help of the law of desire, and apart from us, the other demons didn't even have their own language, and they were as muddy as beasts. The Enchanting Lord began to tell the history of the Demon Clan, "At that time, the first generation of Sfiodor, Cage, and that Mr. Lance came to our continent through the chaotic spatial mapping. They wanted our help, and in return, we traveled to the continent of Lanman through the Gate of Chaotic Space, where the gods had visited to observe the so-called 'civilization'. At that time, we didn't really have the concept of civilization. β
Del Cora nodded. He knew that the other party didn't actually say everything, because the process was actually not so harmonious, according to records, the original Sfiodor and the thirteen primordial demons broke out in a fierce battle in the Demon Continent, and the demon lords who were completely impressed by the strength of the god-given body were willing to help Sfiodor.
And the "Ancient Covenant" was also signed at that time.
Of course, this matter may not be so glorious for the Thirteen Maharajas...... Therefore, the enchanting Maharaja brushed it aside, and Delkora did not mean to ridicule or investigate it in detail. After all, more than 10,000 years have passed.
"In 10,000 years, no portal has connected two continents - with our sensitivity to demonic energy, you can't go wrong. But it wasn't until three months ago that a clear demonic aura appeared on the Lanman Continent again...... Since then, demonic breaths have continued to appear. β
"Three months ago, it was the teleportation array that was discovered by Mr. Lance. But that teleportation array had been destroyed by Mr. Richard. Del Cora explained.
"Teleportation Array...... This is not normal. At least in our time, the only way to lead to the two continents was the chaotic spatial door that opened irregularly, but since the law was established, that kind of spatial door would never appear again. The Enchanting Lord frowned, "There are people on your continent who are answering. β
"That's exactly what we're investigating. Delkora bowed slightly, "Did you hear my conversation with my father just now?"
"At a time like this, contact with an underage Sfiodor is dangerous enough. We're not going to ask for trouble. The Maharaja of Charm directly admitted his fears, "In the face of you, who are completely unaffected by desires, demons are inherently at a disadvantage at the negotiating table. β
"Not anymore. Delcora shook her head, "Next question, why did you come to me without Satya? I think you're still an ally by this morning at the latest, and Satya even agreed to your request to hide it from me...... Although her acting skills are still so poor. β
"Are you so sure it was my idea?" the Maharaja glanced him up and down, "You never suspected her?"
"Your inquiry is pointless. β
β...... Well, I think I can see why she takes you so seriously, when you're still a nominal couple. The Enchanting Lord seemed to have figured out something, and said helplessly: "I will no longer hide this from you...... Of course, it doesn't make sense to hide it from you. β
"I hope you don't say anything that irritates my emotions. Delkora said flatly, "If something goes wrong with Satya, I will unblock the emotions and declare war on you thirteen kings." β
β...... I hope you can stay calm. The Enchanting Maharaja smiled bitterly, "Your girlfriend, Satya Sfiodor, was unanimously elected by our thirteen Maharajas to be the Demon Agent, and before that, she had to go through the trials of the seven laws of desireβ"
"You wanted me to take this test in the first place, didn't you?" Delcora instantly understood what she had experienced last night, "The power of desire that entered my body is your power...... But you didn't expect me to be able to close my emotions. From the very beginning, your plans have been put on hold. β
"That's right at first. The Enchanting Lord nodded, "I was going to get you to feel at ease in the trials by approaching and convincing her, because from what I've observed, you don't seem to be going to argue with any of her decisions - but I didn't expect that Sfiodor's ability wasn't unique to the first generation, but rather a gift inherited from the bloodline. I also didn't expect that having that girl named Satya cooperate with our actions would cause her to have such a violent emotional turmoil that she would become a better candidate than you......"
The Maharaja stopped.
"If I'm in the mood right now, I'd be happy because Satya really loves me, but I'm more angry β it has nothing to do with Satya. Although she bears the name of Sfiodor, she does not have God-given blood. She has nothing to do with the demons, and she can't even control the Dark Apocalypse on her own. You shouldn't have involved her at all. β
"I know it's going to make you angry. But I also know that now you are absolutely sane and you can analyze the pros and cons of this matter. The Enchanting Lord breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became much more relaxed, "In order to choose the right agent, I was given a share of all seven desires energy, and now it is only half used. Your girlfriend is being tested in the realm of lust trials that we have constructed. β
"You want me to take the initiative to participate in the trial?" Delkora frowned, "Why?"
"Because you're each other's biggest emotional concern. "More than 50 percent of that girl's mood swings are related to you, and almost 90 percent of your mood swings come from her." If you are part of this trial, we may be able to harvest a perfect surrogate β and you can protect her by doing so. I know you can absorb the energy of desire, and if you think this trial will hurt her, we will allow you to terminate it at any time. This is the sincerity of our thirteen old demons. β

What the hell am I writing about...... Confused.
It's good that this plot can be written, but it seems to be quite difficult now...... Oh my god, I'm digging a hole for myself......
