I am the emperor of Mengwang

[When you break through to S-rank and awaken the Demon Lord, you will have two transformations. I guarantee that these two transformations will make you a top-tier warrior in this world, comparable to the Dark Emperor Guy and the Strongest Hero Chloe.]

The player's words are full of temptation.

"Yuebian, what is Yuebian?"

Mo Li still didn't quite believe what the player said. He also wanted him to become a being on par with Guy and Chloe. You have to know that these two strong men are ranked in the top five even in the entire Meng Wang worldview. And the player said that he could become a being like them. Do you think you are the Star Dragon King? What you said might as well be saying that you want me to become the world's number one.

[Host, I can guarantee that what I said is true. ]

It was exhausting to have such a host player, why didn't he believe it? If other traversers heard such news, they would have jumped high with excitement.

"I don't believe it unless you tell me, what kind of changes will Yuebian bring?"

At this time, Mo Li finally revealed his intentions.

[Host, are you waiting for me here? ]

The player finally understood that his host was a man who would get to the bottom of things and would not feel at ease until he knew something.

But what he didn't know was, could Mo Li be at ease? You have to know that when he came to this world, although he barely obtained the old man's inheritance, there were too many strong people in this world. Even the old man's inheritance could only protect himself at most. If he wanted to become a real top combat force, this was not enough.

Knowing the script and having received the inheritance, Mo Li is confident that he can become an awakened demon king. Although the awakened demon king is very powerful, Mo Li still feels that it is not enough. In the original work, in the early stage, a demon king can be the king, but in the middle stage, the demon king is just a small soldier. Only the awakened demon king is qualified to enter the battlefield. In the later stage, when fighting the big boss, that person is not at the awakened demon king level, and he does not have an ultimate skill.

Especially our cute king has a lot of ultimate skills.

Although Li Qiye was confident that he could become an awakened demon king, he was not really confident that he could obtain the ultimate skill. After all, Veldora had lived for so long and only obtained the ultimate skill, Lord of Chaos, when Rimuru became an awakened demon king.

Rimuru obtained the ultimate skills by cheating, and it was a cheat of the level of the God of Creation. The ultimate skills are the King of Wisdom, the King of Gluttony, the King of Oath, plus Veldora's King of Chaos, so he got four ultimate skills at once. When Li Qi watched the anime in his previous life, he thought that the ultimate skills were easy to get, but that was because he was the protagonist. And not just an ordinary protagonist, but the reincarnation of the God of Creation in this world.

You know, even Guy and Milim only have one ultimate skill.

Rimuru got four at once. What does this mean? It was like God was forcing food into Rimuru's mouth.

"I just want to know what you're going to bring me?"

Mo Li's tone was full of seriousness.

[I can only reveal one thing at most. When you become the awakened demon king, I will let you obtain the ultimate skill.]

The player replied.

"One ultimate skill is not enough to make me a strong person on the same level as Guy and the others."

Although Mo Li was somewhat surprised that this player could allow him to obtain the ultimate skill, the ultimate skill alone might not be enough.

【More than one.】

The player's addition instantly shut up Mo Li.

More than one ultimate skill, what a concept! At least Mo Li is one of the strongest people even in the later stage of the plot.

Even if he couldn't beat Guy, Milim and the others, Mo Li was still confident that he could remain undefeated or escape.

[When you break through to S-level, I will lay a solid foundation for you, so that you will have a basis for welcoming your second transformation into an awakened demon king.]

The player's tone was full of determination, as if he was affirming something.

"Can I ask why you are helping me like this?" Mo Li was silent for a while before asking the player a question.

[I can’t tell you now, but you just need to know that it is your existence that makes me, not me that makes you. You can live without me, but I cannot live without you.]

There was sincerity in the player's tone.

[I am one with you now. We prosper together and suffer together. I help you in order to help myself.]

The player’s words lingered in Mo Li’s mind for a long time.

"Can I trust you?"

Mo Li was silent for a while and then asked the player seriously.

[You can always trust me. I can guarantee that I will never betray you. Even if I disappear, I will not betray you.]

The player's tone was resolute.

"Do you want to gain something from me?"

Mo Li expressed his inner speculation to the players.

[I do have something I want. But you can't give it to me with your current strength. So get stronger quickly.]

The words of the players are full of deep meaning.

"Then we will take good care of you in the future."

Mo Li's tone was full of ease. If the player's help was free of charge, Mo Li would really doubt it. In this world, only the kindness of parents is selfless. Any other kindness has a price. And sometimes even the kindness of parents has a price.

Moreover, since coming to this world, Mo Li has never trusted anyone, whether it is Rimuru or the people in the goblin village. He is close to Rimuru only because it is safer to be with him. Even if he dies in an accident, Rimuru is sure to save him. (In the original work, when Rimuru became the awakened demon king, he used the ultimate soul-returning secret technique with the help of the King of Wisdom to revive the dead monster of Tempest.)

But after being together for such a long time, Mo Li could not deny that he had already regarded Rimuru as his friend and partner.

But the players are different. Mo Li is ready to take a gamble. He is ready to place his bet on the players. He can give the players everything they want, but the players must bring what he wants.

Strength, he wanted powerful strength that could make him the strongest. To live his life again, Mo Li only wanted to live a brilliant life. And even if he wanted to retire, he had to have the strength to live well in his old age.

He wants to be like Mr. Zhong.

Although he could get protection behind Rimuru, Mo Li didn't want that. After all, it was not as reassuring to have other people's strength as it was to have his own strength, and Mo Li was not the kind of person who would entrust his life to others.

He can regard Rimuru as his own protection, but he cannot be the only one.
