I am the emperor of Mengwang

Chapter 484: Guy's shock; Diablo's overwhelming resentment towards Mo Li

"Okay. Next up is our last one!" "This one is also the most popular one among our contestants."

"He is the world-famous outstanding hero, Honjo Masayuki, who is known as the 'Shining Brave'!!!"

As soon as Cang Hua finished speaking, a handsome young man with short golden hair and a fierce aura walked out from the shadows of the backstage.

"Bang--------"

"How can it be!!!"

At this time, the handle of Qi Yi's seat had been crushed by him, but Qi Yi didn't care about that at this time.

Guy stared at the face that was so familiar to him, his eyes full of disbelief.

“He is Rudra! No, he can’t be Rudra, Rudra can’t be here!”

Guy murmured in disbelief. Rudra couldn’t be here. He must be in the Eastern Empire.

Who is he? Why does he look exactly like Rudra? Not only his appearance, but even his 'brave' temperament is exactly the same as when he first met Rudra.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is this guy's soul...

The more Guy thought about it, the more serious his expression became. In Guy's perception, apart from his lack of strength, Honma Masayuki was almost identical to that Rudra guy in other aspects.

What exactly is going on? !

Not only Guy was in disbelief, but even Misali beside him had an expression of extreme shock.

It has been ten thousand years since Misali submitted to Guy. It can be said that Guy and Rudra's acquaintance was completed under the witness of Misali.

Ten thousand years ago, not long after Guy became the world's first 'true' Demon King, she and Rhine surrendered to Guy because they failed in their challenge to him.

Misali still remembers the first time Rudra-sama came. After all, Rudra-sama was one of the few enemies that Guy-sama admitted that he could only be "defeated" with real effort.

Even Guy's real name was given by Rudra himself, and naming Guy almost cost Rudra his life.

And since then, Guy-sama and Rudra-sama have fought countless battles as if they have a mutual understanding.

The final result is always a draw.

Moreover, she, Rein, and Velzard-sama were present at every battle between the two lords. Oh, and there were also Velgrind-sama and Lucia-sama who came with Rudra-sama.

From then on, Mr. Guy and Mr. Rudra formed a deep friendship.

However, everything changed after that mysterious bet, and Rudra-sama and Velgrind-sama never came to the frozen land again.

And Lady Lucia is...

oh~~

At this moment, Misali looked at the face on the field, whose appearance and temperament were exactly the same as the Lord Rudra in her memory, and she couldn't help but feel confused.

Although Misari wanted to believe that the person in front of her was Rudra-sama, her rational brain denied it.

Because the Rudra in her memory couldn’t be this weak. You know, Rudra-sama was a top-notch warrior who could fight Guy-sama to a draw.

It can be said without hesitation that Rudra is the only one in this world who can be Guy-sama's rival.

No, now we should add one more person...

As she thought this, Misali's gaze slowly turned to Mo Li, who was sitting on the throne of the Nine Demon Kings.

Now, there is another person who can be Guy's rival:

Lord Morax, the 'Emperor of Rock' of the Demonic Federation.

Perhaps sensing Misali's gaze, Mo Li slowly picked up the wine glass in his hand and nodded gently towards Misali.

Looking at Mo Li who was nodding to her with a smile, Misali's face felt hot for a while, but her years of maid training made her calm down quickly.

No!!! I can't look at Lord Morax anymore, that face is just...too foul.

Then Misali turned her attention to Masayuki Motoko on the ring.

This person must not be Rudra-sama. Rudra-sama cannot be so weak, but why is this pathetically weak human leader exactly the same as Rudra-sama? !

Although Honjo Masayuki has the unique special skill [Heroic Domination] that can affect the senses of others, in the eyes of a truly strong person, this level of influence is not worth mentioning at all.

As a demon princess, Misali is several levels stronger than Honma Masayuki at this moment. How could the skill [Heroic Tyranny] possibly affect her!

Not only was Misali confused at this moment, but Guy also had some guesses.

This Honjo Masayuki is definitely closely related to that Rudra guy, and it is even possible that he is the reincarnation of that Rudra guy who was redeemed.

Because he knew that Rudra, as a 'human hero', could not possibly live to this day, so this Honma Masayuki could very likely be the reincarnation of Rudra.

But if that guy Rudra was reincarnated as this boy named Honmaru Masayuki, then who is the one sitting on the throne of the Eastern Empire now?

In addition, there was the 'riddler'-like conversation between Li and himself not long ago, and the evidence from this guy, Honma Masayuki.

Guy guessed that the person sitting on the throne of the Eastern Empire right now might not be this Rudra.

Something might have happened in the Eastern Empire that he didn't know about. Maybe Rudra had an accident, or even...

Thinking of this, Guy's expression became more serious. If Li had not lied to him, and his guess was correct, then the person sitting on the throne of the Eastern Empire might not be Rudra.

But... how is this possible? If the one sitting on the throne wasn't Rudra, then Velgrind, one of the only three remaining Calamity-level dragons in the world, would definitely be able to see it.

There is almost no thing in this world that can pass the eyes of dragons.

Not to mention how close the relationship between Velgrynd and Rudra is. If someone dares to pretend to be Rudra, Velgrynd will definitely find out in the first place and tear the person to pieces.

Thinking about it this way, things have reached a dead end again.

Could it be possible... that there really is something in this world that can hide from the eyes of dragons?

At this moment, Qi Yi's face became more solemn and fearful.

Now the only one who knows the answer and can give him an answer is probably……

As he thought about this, Qi Yi turned his gaze to Mo Li who was still leisurely drinking tea.

Looking at Mo Li's leisurely appearance, three black lines unconsciously appeared on Qi Yi's forehead.

The other demon kings sitting nearby couldn't help but become serious when they saw the solemn look on Guy's face.

Ever since Guy saw the weak, short-haired boy on the ring, his mood became increasingly disturbed.

In their perception, Honma Masayuki is just a cannon fodder who is slightly stronger than an 'ant'.

How could he possibly be qualified to attract the attention of the other 'strongest demon king'?

This means that this ant is hiding some unknown secret.

Even Dino, who was known as the 'Sleeping Ruler', unconsciously opened his sleepy eyes and cast his gaze towards Guy and Mo Li.

"Li, don't you think you should give me an explanation? It's not a good thing to stir my heartstrings like this! I have so many questions in my mind right now!"

Qi Yi complained to Mo Li like a resentful woman.

Hearing Guy's resentful voice, not only Mo Li, but also Milim who was sitting next to Mo Li and Ramiris who was flying in the air could not help but shiver.

"Qi Yi, you disgusting guy, speak to me properly, or I will beat you up!!!"

Milim then clenched her fists, making a crunching sound, and threatened Guy, who was feeling nauseous.

"Yes! Your tone is so disgusting! It gives me goosebumps, Lady Ramiris!"

Ramiris also waved her fist and threatened Guy.

Facing the threats from Milim and Ramiris, Guy did not take them seriously, but instead turned his gaze directly to Mo Li who was sitting next to Milim.

Seeing Qi Yi's expression that said "I won't give in if you don't explain it to me", Mo Li slowly put down the teacup in his hand and replied lightly.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

After hearing Mo Li's words that seemed to confirm his statement, Qi Yi fell silent.

After getting Mo Li's answer, even if he didn't believe it anymore, he had to admit that the person sitting on the throne of the Eastern Empire was most likely not his close friend Rudra.

This human named Honjo Masayuki might really be the reincarnation of that Rudra guy.

But if that is the case, then who is sitting on the throne now?

How did he manage to hide from Velgrynd's detection and replace Rudra as the emperor of the empire? !

"That……"

Qi Yi wanted to ask something else, because he felt that this guy must know something else, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Mo Li.

"Are you sure you want to talk to me about this stuff here!?"

Mo Li's casual words made Qi Yi react suddenly, and he sensed the curious gazes of his colleagues around him.

Guy also realized that now was not the time to talk about this.

"Okay. Let's watch the game first. I'll give you a satisfactory answer after the game."

Mo Li replied calmly, now is the break time, no matter how big the matter is, it can't stop him from watching the show.

"……Can."

After a moment's silence, Guy nodded in agreement. It was indeed not the time to discuss this matter.

Anyway, I can’t run away from this guy, so let’s watch the game first!

It's a good opportunity for me to take a look too. After Rudra's reincarnation, he still has some abilities, although he looks quite weak at the moment.

Then Guy turned his gaze directly to Honjo Masayuki on the field, with a playful smile on his face.

Guy had a feeling that this game might be more interesting than he thought.

Although the other demon kings on the side were very unhappy with Qi Yi and Mo Li's habit of only speaking half of their sentences, they did not dare to say anything more.

After all, who in this world has the ability to question the two of them? !

I had no choice but to watch the game helplessly.

"Okay, let's start the official competition of our martial arts competition from now on!!!"

As he spoke, Cang Hua slowly moved out a dark golden box that looked like a treasure chest. The box exuded a strong scent of rock elements, and the surface of the box was even covered with an extremely powerful seal to prevent certain people from exploring.

"Because there are only nine people entering the official competition this time, we will draw our opponents by drawing lots!"

"And if you draw number zero, you can be exempted from the competition and go directly to the next round."

"Then... let's get started!"

After saying that, Cang Hua turned his gaze directly to the nine people on the field, indicating that they could draw lots.

As Diablo looked at the lottery box that exuded a powerful seal, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

He originally wanted to use some means to fight against that damn human who insulted Lord Rimuru in the first match, but now... he miscalculated!

Sensing that powerful seal, hmm! It was a seal that he couldn't break.

Most likely, it was Morax who seduced the great Rimuru-sama with his foxy appearance.

Damn it——, if Rimuru-sama hadn’t been protecting him, I would have…

Facing Mo Li, Diavolo had no way to deal with it. There was no way! Her great Lord Rimuru almost unconditionally stood on the other side. Even if he wanted to, he was powerless!

It really is like what the saying goes, we ministers are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?

Alas! And in this Demonic Federation, it can be said without exaggeration that everyone regards Morax as an idol.

Even if he is very versatile and knowledgeable, he still can't do anything!

It seems that I need to find some time to go to the underworld and meet my "old friends". I believe that after seeing Lord Rimuru, they will submit to his greatness like me.

They will definitely not allow the hateful guy Morax to continue to seduce Lord Rimuru.

With their help, I won't have to fight Morax alone.

Diablo had already made up his mind at this time. As soon as the game was over, he would say goodbye to Lord Rimuru and rush to the underworld to meet those guys.

After a while, the nine people drew their lots and looked at the numbers in their hands.

"I would like to ask all the contestants, which contestant drew the number zero?"

Cang Hua asked with a little curiosity.

"not me!"

Diablo looked at the number in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

Xiao on the side also shook his head in denial.

"It's not me either!"

Dagula said generously.

"What a pity! This isn't mine either."

At this time, Rhine, who was wearing a mask, said disappointedly.

"It's not the two of us either!"

"My luck isn't that great."
