Save me!\", the Metal Demon’s thunderous voice soon echoed in the arena, both his desperation and fear apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Graveplate Devils in the stands knew that his shout was addressed to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or to be more accurate, it was addressed to the person standing at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this person didn’t seem to have heard his subordinate’s pleas for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze remained cold and indifferent, having steeled himself not to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one doubted his judgment. They knew that this was the smartest decision and, for Devils, was also the most logical option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just when everyone was ready to watch the Metal Demon die, an emotionless whisper rang in the ears of the Graveplate Devil group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several inexplicable, garbled words echoed directly in their minds, and in an instant, their eyes grew increasingly hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they had communicated beforehand, demonic energy emerged from their bodies and poured into the man at the very front, serving as his fuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his strength getting stronger, the man did not show any emotion, as if it didn’t matter to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a puppet whose strings were being controlled, he waved his hand, creating a gigantic, pitch-black sword in the air in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he lowered his hand and swung it down, towards the arena below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience did not have any time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could understand what was going on, the Graveplate Devil’s strike hit the array, shattering it before moving towards the two challengers below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from its trajectory, it was abundantly clear that its target was none other than Alpha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to recover was the announcer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a move forward and wished to prevent the descending sword from harming the fight’s participants, only for his right hand to be instantly annihilated and ground into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword did not stop after sending him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It continued falling, looking ready to harvest Alpha’s life next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, everyone had realized the goal of the attacker. They wanted to save the Metal Demon by killing his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although no one could understand where they got the guts to do so, they knew that this was a matter for later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them couldn’t help but glance at Alpha with pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had won the fight and should have received a reward, she was now going to die instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the attacker was punished afterwards, it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time would not turn back for her. She would remain dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the whole crowd, the only person who remained calm was the person being attacked, Alpha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she could feel a sense of impending doom while her instincts constantly warned her of danger, she didn’t show any panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she didn’t even try to evade or take back her own attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued using Life Infusion, controlling the metal spear to shoot towards the Metal Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such a complicated situation, Alpha suddenly sensed that some changes were taking place within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuous clicking sounds came from within her body as if several mechanical gears were turning, while a faint glow flickered above the mechanical core hidden inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it seemed that she would not be afforded the time to complete her transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she succeeded, the falling sword would wipe her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or at least, that was how it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was, until suddenly, the person that Alpha had been waiting for finally took action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air above her head shook as a figure appeared in front of the falling sword and raised their hand to meet it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the sword’s size, the figure was many times smaller, like an ant facing an elephant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging just from the size, everyone could foresee that this daring person would soon die, crumbling under the pressure of the powerful attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something unexpected ended up happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the sword’s sharp edge came into contact with the otherwise unassuming hand, its forward momentum suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clicking sound echoed before several cracks formed on the sword’s surface, which quickly grew more and more obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a bang rang. The sword shattered, blasted into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene unfold, most of the Devils in the stands were shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had just witnessed the announcer stepping forward and trying to stop the sword, only to be pushed back and severely injured in just an encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to remember that the announcer was someone at the peak of the Lesser Devil stage. Yet, he failed to stop the attack, getting injured in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t this mean that the person who had just shown up was actually stronger than them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they also a, more powerful, Lesser Devil?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or even...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as this thought arose within their minds, several Devils shook their heads, denying that notion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t want to believe that this was the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the outcome of today’s events would never end up being simple.\u003C\u002Fp>",1075,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.948Z",1,"novelbin.me","a5e5e5d570c5292701b2cc6a02e86511a55f2d2d4ef5043e8b9f79e31cbb9b0c","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-348","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-347",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
