I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Chapter 110 The Church Takes Action

When Diana returned to the manor, the women were already waiting at the door.

They spotted Lilia clinging to Diana at a glance.

Cora smiled and looked at Lilia.

"Anna, aren't you going to introduce this cat to us, or this cat lady?"

Lilia met Cora's gaze without backing down, and even glanced at her chest.

"Yes, sir~ please introduce me to this young lady as well~"

Diana shuddered inexplicably.

"Strange~ I don't feel cold at all! Looks like I've been doing too much lately, I really need to get some rest!"

After giving a brief introduction to the group, Diana was about to enter the manor when she was grabbed by both arms.

Cora and Lilia said in unison:

"Don't try to get away with being cute!"

Diana tilted her head, looking at the two of them with a face full of question marks.

······

For the next few days, Diana had a rather leisurely time, only needing to lend a hand occasionally.

The construction of the academy and the renovation of some buildings in the city were entrusted to Slotakiv, while the arrangement and statistics of personnel were entrusted to Demitorus.

Over the past few days, the people in the city have gradually gotten used to the demons. Perhaps because most of those who came this time were orcs and dwarves, people are finding it easier to accept them.

Diana used earth magic to generate many bricks, providing great convenience to the School of Architecture.

With sufficient materials, Slotakif led his people and orcs in rapid construction, and the academy was already taking shape.

The situation in Demitorus went very smoothly as well. After promising generous rewards to every resident who successfully registered, everyone cooperated fully.

For example, if a family was a farmer, not only would they be exempt from all future taxes, but they would also be given a suitable amount of land based on the number of people in their family.

Merchants will receive a reduction in taxes and the right to use their shops after the city is rebuilt.

Meanwhile, registered residents can receive enough food every month by presenting their identity documents.

The city was thriving, and demon caravans frequently came to exchange goods. With these comings and goings, demon coins became popular, as they featured Diana's portrait and were very popular among the residents.

When Diana discovered her image was printed on the currency, she felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

As news of Oliver City's various benefits and its coexistence with the demons gradually spread, astonishing changes occurred within the capital.

Some people from the lower classes gradually began to migrate to Oliver City.

Because the demons no longer harass humans, the Adventurers' Guild has fewer and fewer missions, and some adventurers have begun to complain.

Many adventurers, who usually spend lavishly, are finding it difficult to adjust to the sudden absence of missions, and voices against Diana have begun to emerge.

Inside a magnificent church outside the capital, a few worshippers were praying.

A stunning statue of a goddess stands on the high platform.

At the very front of the statue, a veiled woman prayed with her eyes closed; even her wide robe could not conceal her alluring figure.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes, and her holy voice rang out.

"The demons are slowly eroding humanity! The root of all evil is—Diana!"

"The Lord has decreed that she shall be sentenced to death!"

"Anderson! Take the sacred artifact and carry out God's will!"

In the corner, a middle-aged man with short blond hair sat on a bench. He was dressed in a black suit, and in the shadows, he was almost invisible unless you looked closely.

Upon hearing the woman's words, an exaggerated smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

······

Inside a quaint house on the other side of the outer city, a girl with long pink hair was lounging on the sofa, reading a book.

At that moment, a dark figure rushed into the room, finally transforming into a disheveled figure in front of the girl, kneeling on one knee.

"Lord Krul, Archbishop Anderson of the Church has left with the sacred artifacts!"

Krul paused in his flipping through the book.

"Where did he go!"

"Reporting to Lord Krul, your subordinates dared not approach; those who were following him were all killed!"

Krul's calm voice rang out again.

"So, you didn't do anything."

The man's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he quickly came up with a solution.

"I saw him heading out of the city!"

There was a moment of silence.

"get out."

"Yes!"

The man transformed into a black shadow and quickly disappeared into the house.

Krul closed the book in his hand, a smile appearing on his face, revealing two small tiger teeth.

"Looks like this is going to be interesting!"

Meanwhile, news that Diana was the Demon King spread like wildfire throughout the capital.

The civilians who were preparing to move to Oliver City immediately dared not go. This news came from the church, and the civilians still believed it!

There are growing voices questioning Diana's abilities.

Inside the palace, the king also convened a meeting.

Is the information coming from the church true?

The nobles stood below, not daring to utter a sound, and no one dared to reply.

"Aren't you usually very talkative?"

The king's voice rang out, tinged with anger.

The nobles weren't stupid; they couldn't afford to offend either side. The Church was powerful, and speaking ill of him would inevitably lead to future troubles. As for Diana, she was incredibly audacious, and they still harbored some resentment towards her.

The Sword Saint frowned and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty! I believe there is something fishy about this matter. Diana's conquest of the demons is a good thing for the human race, and the prosperous scene in Oliver City is no exaggeration!"

"If she really is the Demon King, why would she do this? News came out recently that she can use the Great Sage's magic! She could easily wipe out the capital!"

Everyone started trembling.

The king narrowed his eyes.

"So what is the church's intention in doing this?"

The Sword Saint paused for a moment.

"Now that humans and demons coexist, people will no longer feel a sense of crisis, and some things will slowly disappear!"

The swordsman didn't spell it out, but the king knew perfectly well that what had disappeared was faith. Sitting in his position, he understood many things.

Humanity is merely a tool for the gods to harvest faith. Humanity has never perished for countless years, not because of the many powerful individuals who saved them, but because the gods have controlled them.

Whenever a demon tries to exterminate the human race, a person chosen by the gods will step forward to save them.

Even if the Demon King is killed, a new Demon King will be born, and the cycle will continue.

All people are merely toys in God's hands.

'The ruler of a country? It's just a position that anyone can fill!'

The king said with a touch of self-mockery, "I once wanted everyone to live a happy life, but I gradually became numb to it and realized that it was simply impossible!"

He still remembers the scene of his father's death.

"Child! Do not attempt to defy God!"

"Hahahaha~"

The king suddenly burst into laughter, and it seemed that he laughed so hard that his fat body was shaking.

All the nobles looked at him in bewilderment.

The king wiped away the tears that came out of his laughter.

"A statement was issued saying that the Royal Family could not confirm Diana's identity, but the public could rest assured that the Royal Family would investigate thoroughly and would not wrong any loyal person! Nor would it let any person who harmed the country go unpunished!"

This is something all nobles are happy to see; as long as the fire doesn't burn them, they don't care how it burns!

"Your Majesty is wise!"
