I have suffered so much to get to this point! I have worked so hard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I still be so powerless against you?!\", he couldn’t help but scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determination flashed across his terrifying face as he gritted his teeth and chose to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless insects emerged from his shadow and followed his command to submerge the Founding Emperor and eat him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when they entered a radius of a few tens of meters around him, the insects collapsed like dead flies, just as they had done after the mausoleum’s destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duke suffered an even more severe backlash this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, while his aura fluctuated violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this suppression?! Why?! Why?!\", his crazy voice echoed throughout the capital as if he had been driven insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the reaction of the infamous Cult Leader, Liora couldn’t help but click her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Duke, she understood what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Zerg Hives have absolute control over their Zerg Servants. Through some method, the Founding Emperor has obtained this same ability but for Knights.\", she realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the Duke claims not to have accommodated a Bloodline Seed, the method he used to become a King of Knights is also affected by his suppression.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Liora could sense that her own strength was also being suppressed. This was the result of her practicing the Knight power system and becoming a Great Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Liora was in thought, time didn’t stop to wait for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Founding Emperor’s eyes were lifeless and empty, but he seemed able to take in what was happening around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment after the Duke’s attack failed, his figure turned into a blurry afterimage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he had arrived in front of the Duke, who had yet to recover from his shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claws that had replaced the Founding Emperor’s hands were thrust forward, aiming at Duke Dandelion’s abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duke wanted to dodge. But when he attempted to move to the side, he discovered that his body had been locked in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the suppression of the Founding Emperor was not limited to abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Dandelion was horrified. He had worked all his life and had committed countless sins all for this very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the opportunity arrived, and he wanted to break free from his shackles, he was powerless to resist, much less put up a worthwhile fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, just when he was about to resign and accept his fate, Liora took action from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her relationship with the Duke was nonexistent, she wasn’t going to let the Founding Emperor do as he wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her hand, and the shadows beneath the Duke grew upwards, wrapping around his limbs and pulling him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, while the Founding Emperor was still mid-attack, she teleported behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden spear appeared in her hand, and she thrust it forward, aiming at the left side of his chest—at his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were incredibly fast, and most of all, unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Founding Emperor had no time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bang, the spear’s tip struck his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, though her sneak attack succeeded, Liora found it impossible to be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the amount of force impacting her hand, she understood that the Spear of the Blighted Sun had not caused much damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, when the spear’s tip retreated, and the dust had settled, she discovered that only a small crack had appeared in the black carapace, which was recovering at an astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a powerful defense.\", she couldn’t help but mutter. She knew the power of her blow the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her opinion, even if the Beast Emperor were to face the Spear of the Blighted Sun, it would suffer great harm. But the Founding Emperor was hardly injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her attack only served to draw his attention away from the Duke and onto her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-pitched, shrill scream came out of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With movements that went against common sense, he turned around and waved his black claws at Liora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only when she faced it in person that Liora discovered the reason why the Duke had been unable to defend before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Founding Emperor’s attack looked simple, like the blow of an ordinary man, it contained inexplicable power, as if it had transcended the material world and become a concept by itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Liora felt her body go out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life Force and her Life Seed began to disobey her orders, seemingly going berserk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora’s eyes narrowed. Under the current circumstances, it would indeed be difficult for others to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, she had her own methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the raging Life Force, she controlled the shadows behind her back, transforming them into thousands of tentacles made of pure darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they were vines, they wrapped around the space in front of her, creating a wall of pitch-black ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liora felt that this was not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a move of her mind, her Shroud Form dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, her Devil characteristics began showing up in the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Devil horns emerged from her temples as the crimson color in her hair and eyes grew deeper, seemingly dripping with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, a black armor with pulsating veins covered her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the safety brought by the further enhanced defenses, Liora thrust the Spear of the Blighted Sun forward, ready to meet the incoming attack.\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","9ec18ff6f3b7e00d38e773128e307cea45725c51a1d7dbea5ed2c8e6539e3879","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-206","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-439",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
