Aren’t you curious about why I attacked you? As long as you sign a Devil Contract and swear not to kill me, I can—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the True Heart Devil’s plea proved meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like before, when he had sneak-attacked Liora, another attack interrupted his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that, different from last time, this attack now came from Liora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an indifferent expression, she ignored the words of the True Heart Devil, having already decided to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, she wasn’t interested in his offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under her control, the sphere above her head flew out, rushing towards the enemy like a falling meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power was overwhelming, while the True Heart Devil had already been injured not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he was unable to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only watch helplessly as the gray sphere landed on his body and began wiping out his existence bit by bit, particle by particle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! I don’t accept this!\", he couldn’t help but scream in his final moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ultimately, his pleas for mercy and curses were for naught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few seconds later, the final traces of his existence had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora watched the True Heart Devil’s body being wiped out with an unreadable expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She showed neither joy nor sadness, but instead remained calm and continued scanning her surroundings for threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after she confirmed that her opponent was dead and no traces of him remained that she let her guard down and relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping the imaginary sweat off her forehead, she controlled the sphere of Nothingness to disperse, as Eclipse was deactivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only she stood alone in the dark space, together with the frail remaining soul of the True Devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected. With my many abilities, I should be quite powerful even among True Devils. Judging from his final outburst, this person must roughly possess the combat power of a peak True Devil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet, I was able to kill him quite easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, my strength is even stronger than I initially expected.\", Liora whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the earlier battle had been quite brief and there had not been much back and forth, it had allowed her to showcase almost all of her newly awakened abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Liora could roughly estimate her current strength, as well as her future potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had to describe it with a single sentence, she would only say that she had a bright future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While praising herself, part of her mind shifted its focus to the words that the True Devil had attempted to utter before his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had ruthlessly killed him without any hesitation at that moment, his words had indeed piqued her interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a hunch that this person did not attack me merely for fun or to simply devour my soul. Rather, it seems that he targeted me for a very specific reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the earlier offer the True Heart Devil had made, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint guess arose within her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there indeed some kind of valuable treasure hidden in the world of Knights? But what kind of treasure can a low-level world have that can force this person to become my enemy?\", she couldn’t help but wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, before she departed from the world of Knights, she had paid special attention and had not forgotten to scan over it more than a dozen times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this was quite simple: to search for any treasures, suspicious people, or anything that could prove of value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was a world that had been visited by two invaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew what secrets it held?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if she were able to obtain another powerful inheritance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the results of her investigation were lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had discovered nothing of value, much less anything that could excite her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just when Liora combed through her memories, she suddenly recalled something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, she reached into the Space Orb and took an item out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a weapon, shaped like a giant halberd with a terrifying and oppressive appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was only a weapon and didn’t possess any consciousness or intelligence, it emanated an aura that reached the Lesser Devil stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Lesser Devil held this weapon, it might be possible for them to contend against a weaker True Devil for a short period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora remembered that this weapon was the Bloodforge Halberd that the Commander of the Infernal Army had given her while they were still in Hope City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been mentioned that it was a gift from the Royal Family, given to Liora for her great achievements during the beasts’ riot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, although this was a powerful weapon that could prove useful even for the current Liora, she had not put it to use so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As something given by the Commander, it’s hard to confirm whether there is any hidden means left behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, blessed weapons are forged using the power of Bloodline Seeds, an item created by the Zerg Hive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could I have possibly used such a weapon when it might backfire the very next moment?\", Liora questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was exactly because of this that she had ignored something unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During her battle with the Zerg, the Zerg Hive had been forced to take back all of the power she had dispersed throughout the world and briefly regain her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This held true for the Bloodline Seeds, and it was also true for the blessed weapons created by the Holy Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet strangely, the Bloodforge Halberd was still there. It had not been destroyed and was still completely intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora had subconsciously ignored this problem, having almost forgotten about this item’s existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as she heard the True Heart Devil’s words, its image couldn’t help but emerge in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, she had a hunch that this object was the treasure that her opponent had been searching for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Liora couldn’t help but observe the halberd closely, trying to find any clues.\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","abb4af12c8eddd45280a92b6873c055c152ab360a34b7cb7e01684ee9c42359b","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-234","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-232",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
