Chapter 1250: Kidotari Returns!

Chapter 1250: Gido Tali Returns!

"Your Majesty... save me!"

Gido Kk stared wide-eyed, extending a trembling hand toward Zhou Zhou, as if he were the last lifeline in a world of ruin.

Zhou Zhou looked at Gido Kk with calm, unflinching eyes. After a long silence, he nodded.

At the sight of the nod, Gido Kk's face instantly lit up with relief—so much so that he seemed utterly convinced of Zhou Zhou's promise. And so, without a struggle, he simply gave in.

Not that he truly resisted.

Rather, Gido Kk knew he could not stand against the tide. If he couldn't fight, then why not simply surrender?

After all, the Emperor would save him eventually.

Gido Kk, having surrendered, quickly lost consciousness and lay still upon the ground.

A moment later...

Kido-koku snapped open his eyes.

His eyes were blood-red and feral, brimming with an infinite hunger for destruction, as if ready to spread terror under the name of himself across the entire cosmos.

He vanished from where he stood, then reappeared before Zhou Zhou.

Only now, he had donned a long black robe, appearing both mysterious and regal.

"Welcome back, Lord Kido-Talith."

Zhou Zhou smiled faintly.

Indeed.

Before Zhou Zhou stood now was not Kido-koku, but his father—the former Monster Demon Emperor—Kido-Talith!

Kido-Talith stared at Zhou Zhou with a complex expression.

After a long silence, he knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully.

"Kido Tali, I greet your Majesty!"

Having lost the heart of Kido Tali, He naturally understood that he was no longer the once-mighty Monster Emperor, but merely a common Monster True God inhabiting the body of a descendant—something hollow, stripped of former glory.

Even his divine rank of Supreme God had vanished.

"Lord Kido Tali, join my empire, how do you find that?"

Zhou Zhou said.

"Subject, I shall not hesitate!"

Kido Tali replied without a moment's thought.

No matter what grudges he might hold against Zhou Zhou, as long as the heart of Kido Tali remained in Zhou's hands, Kido Tali himself and the entire Monster race would fight for Zhou—this was a truth that every single member of the Monster lineage would act upon without hesitation!

No.

Now, that thing should no longer be called the heart of Kido Tali.

And it should be called—the Heart of the Strange Demon Emperor!

Possess it, and you shall become the unquestioned ruler of the Strange Demon Emperors!

Zhou Zhou nodded slightly at this.

Inside his mind, he murmured in astonishment.

This Heart of the Strange Demon Emperor… truly is powerful!

Then, suddenly, he recalled something. With a wave of his right hand, he saw a Divine Master's Edict fly out from Kitodatari's body and land before Zhou Zhou.

He stared at the edict.

This Divine Master's Edict was Kitodatari's symbol of office, though crafted from rare materials, it in reality held no power—now it could only serve as a relic of Kitodatari.

He tossed the edict into the air, making it float, and then cast the Great Resurrection Spell.

And then, waves of emerald light burst forth, radiating outward from the edict, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Soon.

A strange demon, its expression bewildered, appeared in the sky above the hall.

It was Kido-koku!

The newly resurrected Kido-koku still felt a bit disoriented, but when it saw Zhou Zhou gazing at it with a smile that was both mocking and faintly amused, and Kido Tali watching with calm, almost indifferent eyes, its memories surged back like a tide crashing over a shore.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reviving me!"

Kido-koku looked gratefully at Zhou Zhou.

"I promised, and I will fulfill it."

Zhou Zhou spoke softly, without emotion.

Kido-koku nodded firmly, then turned to Kido Tali, remembering the act of possession—the usurpation of his very soul. His jaw clenched, his teeth grinding together in silent fury.

"My dear Father King..."

Kido-kaku gritted his teeth, fire blazing in his eyes.

He had thought it was a blessing, a fortune bestowed upon him—only to find it had cost him his life, and not just any life, but his father's!

This was nothing short of explosive within the realm of the Strange Demons.

" dare look at me like that?"

Kido-tali glanced at him with a calm, detached expression.

Kido-kaku lowered his head, unwilling to yield.

"Kido-tali,"

Zhou Zhou spoke, "You now possess the power of a True God. When will you be able to recover to the peak strength you once held?"

"Your Majesty,"

Kido-tali's expression, previously so cold and distant, instantly softened into profound reverence. "With the Eternal Heart of the Strange Demon Emperor providing a continuous flow of negative energy, and with sufficient divine recovery resources, I can restore myself to the strength of a Sub-True God within two days, to the Mid-True God level within seven days, and to my former peak strength as a True God Superior within one month!"

Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

No wonder he is the former Divine Demon Emperor of the Strange Demon Clan!

His speed in restoring strength far surpasses that of Xue Yuezi!

"Tell me what resources you need to restore your divine power," he said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"

Kido Tali bowed gratefully, then listed one by one the resources required for his recovery.

Zhou Zhou jotted them down meticulously. After Kido Tali had finished speaking, he immediately retrieved the necessary items from his first treasure vault and presented them to him.

"In my divine realm, carve out a secluded retreat anywhere you wish, and recover your strength thoroughly,"

he said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gidotali didn't waste a single moment; once he had secured the resources for restoring divine power, he immediately turned and departed.

Zhou Zhou watched this, his gaze settling on Gidok, whose face was etched with complex emotions.

"Stop overthinking it. What your father did no longer matters."

"Besides, you're still alive, and you've already obtained what you wanted."

"With all this hesitation, why not instead focus on figuring out how to subdue the entire race of monsters and demons across the Supreme Continent?"

He said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gidok glanced at the inscription now displaying his potential as a Supreme God-level being, exhaled deeply, and bowed respectfully.

What the Majesty said is true.

Indeed, He had gained nothing but much benefit—there was truly no need to dwell on it.

At that moment, He recalled something, and swiftly bowed with reverence:

"Your Majesty, once my father... Lord Kido Talis, regains his strength, might it be possible for Him to accompany me in subduing the Wicked Demon Clan of the Supreme Continent?"

"With His presence, our speed in subduing the Wicked Demon Clan will surely increase greatly."

"Agreed."

Zhou Zhou did not hesitate—he simply nodded and accepted.

Currently, He possessed five duplicates, each capable of wielding the power of a Supreme God, and he cared little for whether or not Lord Kido Talis, a Supreme God himself, stood beside him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Kido Kuo immediately expressed his gratitude.

Then, without further words, He bowed and departed.

And just as He had departed, Zero sent Zhou Zhou a comprehensive summary of today’s battle reports.

Zhou Zhou glanced at it.

All day long, both the Supreme Continent and Blue Star had eliminated 180 billion enemies, 31,000 deities, and over 100 true gods.

The sudden drop in enemy casualties was primarily due to the Supreme Continent failing to secure many kills—most enemies simply saw the arrival of the Sun Empire and, without even a flicker of resistance, surrendered immediately.

Especially the Five Odd Demon God States!

They were all captured with almost no effort at all.

As a result, among today’s enemy losses, only a small portion had been achieved through Zhou Sheng’s armies expanding the Sun Empire’s territories; the majority of the eliminations were carried out by Blue Star’s forces.
