Unable to resist the pull, it shot forward, flying towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it was still mid-air and before it could evade, Liora moved again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wooden chest, the one that she had always stored it in, appeared and engulfed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the lid of the chest was placed back onto the chest as countless tiny Devil Runes flashed across its wooden surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest shook for a brief moment as the mysterious blood rioted and began smashing against its walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, its struggle soon ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affected by the chest’s effects, the mysterious blood was soon put to sleep, unable to cause any more chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing this, Liora breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood that her plan had gone well so far and nothing unexpected had occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through using two of her trump cards, Reanimation and the mysterious blood, she had been able to deal with perhaps the most difficult enemy she had faced so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora knew very well that this was not because she was necessarily stronger than the Founding Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, it was because she had been decisive and had not hesitated to use many methods she previously held secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost, however, was also obvious. Now, any potential enemies would be prepared to deal with the two trump cards she had displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, everything was worth it.\", Liora whispered as she shifted her gaze to the white illusory silhouette standing not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had the appearance of a young man and was surrounded by countless tiny insects, making its identity obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Founding Emperor, or rather, the soul left behind after his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the insects still squirm despite his death, Liora couldn’t help but feel disgusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could be certain that if any other Devil were in her place, killing the Founding Emperor would be utterly meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only would devouring his soul not bring any benefits, but it would also prove extremely harmful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, the Devil would end up influenced by the Zerg’s traits, unless they were strong enough to overpower their influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thankfully, unlike other Devils, I don’t devour souls directly. Rather, I have the Evolution System do it for me.\", Liora thought and stretched her hand, grabbing the Emperor’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she came into contact with it, the soul melted and entered her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were to take a look at the System at this time, she would discover that her Evolution Points were skyrocketing at an incredible rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the earlier war, during which she had devoured the souls of countless humans and beasts, had not brought her such great benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora couldn’t help but smack her lips in satisfaction. She was about to smile when her expression suddenly turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising her head, she expanded her consciousness and observed her surroundings, mostly paying attention to the battlefield between the Pope and the two other men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a shocking scene caught her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Dandelion, who had led her here and had given a passionate speech just not long ago, was now covered in crimson blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not of the Pope nor of the Beast Emperor. Instead, it was of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An illusory hand could be seen penetrating through his abdomen and clutching onto his Life Seed, before it clenched it tightly and shattered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of the hand was none other than the Beast Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Liora could analyze what happened, the entire world shook violently. Not the ground, but the world as a whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground, the sky, and even space itself began to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening cry, as if a mother had lost its child, echoed throughout the continent as bloody rain began falling from the sky, like the tears of the Will of the World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be saddened by the death of Duke Dandelion, but most importantly, mourning for something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for Liora to find out what that \"something else\" was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Duke took his final breath, a huge crack appeared in the blue sky, like a scar stretching for countless kilometers onto its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the crack appeared to be a massive prison, as countless \"metal\" bars were stacked next to and on top of each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this prison created with World Origin, which should have been indestructible and lasted forever, was broken the very next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"metal\" bars started shattering one after another, each producing a thunderous sound that spread everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the last bar of the prison was destroyed, the boundless pitch-black darkness was unveiled behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, two icy-cold eyes opened within the prison, like two torches lighting up inside a dark room.\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","9bbb1770f3c5f86c7d3bce6fb9281e725f01793126f507edfa7c9d8ee3beee3b","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-442","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-441",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
