Why must the devil be Defeated?

Shane has little interest in Chafne's personal remarks.

This bitch is just pretentious and still thinking about playing games. Has she forgotten how she crashed and burned at his hands?

If you weren't a demon, you would have crashed into some deep ditch long ago over these tens of thousands of years.

Shane constantly slanders her in his heart, completely forgetting that a certain Enchanting Demon Lord can read minds.

"..."

Feeling Shane's thoughts, Chafne was filled with anger.

But when she thought about how she indeed crashed at this guy's hands, she felt another wave of frustration.

Why am I so unlucky?

For tens of thousands of years, I've always been the one to toy with others and have them at my mercy. Why did I crash hands with a man I hadn't even known for a few days, losing the most important thing?

Dignified Enchanting Demon, the most beautiful woman of the Three Realms, a peerless demoness capable of captivating countless heroes and turning billions of lives into a trance, yet unable to find satisfaction, destined to live a life of sadness, loses herself to a man she'd met less than twice?

If this was to get out, it would practically turn the entire Omni Potanssen into purgatory, leaving countless men and even women sobbing and feeling deep despair and anguish.

This is nothing.

What's truly ridiculous is that he's her soon-to-be brother-in-law.

That's just brazen.

Thankfully...

(He was the one chosen by Mother.)

Moreover, he is special and quite unique, not the type she would dislike.

On the contrary, Chafne had already scored Shane 98 in her heart, almost surpassing Ai Yi, the first on her list.

So although Chafne's emotions were quite complex, she actually didn't feel much repulsion.

Considering she often read Shane's mind and knew his thoughts, with several reasons stacking up, Chafne gradually developed a good impression of Shane.

One must know that Chafne, possessing [Ripple Heart Demon], can read the minds of many.

Chafne is entirely clear about the thoughts of those who have long been deeply infatuated with her.

This includes the jealousy she sensed at the Supreme Castle just now, which Chafne had already noticed clearly, though she paid it no mind.

Over the years, Chafne has peered into various people's hearts, thus understanding the myriad mortal ways and all their ugly minds.

Among them were even some insane individuals, whose blatant and intense desire for her made her frown in disgust.

Only Shane, who had clearly gotten her, yet didn't have malign thoughts toward her and often despised her and cursed her in his heart, even recently doodling circles and crosses about her, treating her as an ordinary person.

Of course, he wasn't without desires, sometimes very openly attracted to Chafne, even wickedly fantasizing some poses that made her grind her teeth and blush.

But that was just temporary. He quickly shifts his thoughts afterward.

This proves that Chafne has an allure for him but not enough to make him lose reason.

His ability to accept is unusual, even to the point of being abnormal, easily picking up and putting down things no matter what they are.

Some might believe he's callous, but Chafne, capable of reading minds, knows he has feelings, just very open and carefree.

His heart holds several figures, always silently emerging, and with every appearance, Chafne feels an intense warmth of emotion.

Such emotions surpass simple desire.

Chafne can sense that whenever Shane thinks about them, his infatuation and excitement toward her drastically decline and even become completely calm.

What does this signify?

It signifies that even though she's the most beautiful Enchanting Demon Lord in the Three Realms, in his heart, she's not equal to his few beloved.

This leaves Chafne feeling surprised more than once.

After all, in the past, no matter how devoted men were, when they saw her, they'd decisively abandon their former partners and become infatuated with her.

Even renowned heroes, upon seeing Chafne, even if they didn't abandon their original lovers, their lover's status in their hearts rapidly dropped behind Chafne.

Chafne extremely despised this.

Former declarations of love overturned completely due to a single infatuation—isn't this so-called heroic spirit just vulgar human nature?

Therefore, Chafne disregarded those heroes and didn't look twice at emperors and kings with harems of thousands.

Only Shane, throughout tens of thousands of years, is the sole person who, after seeing her, even getting her, still loves others, those confidant beauties who love him.

Conversely, apart from stirring desire, she could do nothing else for him.

He has no love for her nor deep affection, only occasionally arising desire.

This instead causes Chafne to feel typically resentful.

(Sure enough, good men belong to others.)

Chafne could only sigh at this.

On the other side, Hette Yada had actually been keeping an eye on Shane and Chafne as well.

Because ever since these two arrived at Central City, their behavior had been quite unusual.

Especially Chafne, this Enchanting Demon who scorns everyone and shows no interest in others, surprisingly acting so intimately with a man, even the typically indifferent Hette Yada found it shocking.

Tonight, Chafne even followed Shane out, alone, continually explaining things to Shane, conversing with Shane, and even playfully sparring with Shane. All of this indicated to Hette Yada just how special Shane was to Chafne.

(No wonder he could win the heart of that Dragon Demon Lord.)

Hette Yada didn't think much of it, only sighed a few words.

Shane still didn't know how the two women, both of whom were the pinnacles of their fields, perceived him in their hearts.

He just looked at Hette Yada again and asked the most fundamental question.

"The person you want me to save, could it be your Ice Woman Clan's people?"

Shane realized this point.

"...Yes." Hette Yada stayed silent for a while, then nodded and said, "The Ice Woman Clan now has only me left; the rest have all been sealed in ice."

"Frozen?" Shane raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, frozen." Hette Yada confirmed.

Chafne seized the opportunity to chime in.

"The Ice Woman Clan is strong, very strong. At the same level, they can even go head-to-head with the Dragonified Human Dragon Clan. Their unique skill 'Ice Luo Qianliu' is considered extremely powerful even among us Demons, and with sufficient Magic Power, they can freeze flames, lightning, magma, or even volcanoes. Theoretically, they could even freeze the sun, but to achieve that, you would need Magic Power that surpasses even Transcend Level beings."

The strength of such Ice Woman Clan members doesn't need to be further elaborated.

But in this world, not everything stronger is better.

"The Ice Woman Clan's 'Ice Luo Qianliu' is simply too strong, and the unfortunate part is that those who possess this ability are inherently indifferent, caring little for their own lives. This mindset often leads them to unleash uncontrollable power recklessly, resulting in them being harmed by their own 'Ice Luo Qianliu', getting themselves sealed in ice with no way out."

Chafne revealed such a speechless situation.

Hette Yada did not deny it.

"I have reached the Limit Level and possess the strongest raw power, rarely meeting any match, so I've never reached that point."

Hette Yada meant to say that she had never needed to unleash uncontrollable power recklessly.

Therefore, she didn't follow in her clan members' footsteps.

"Our Ice Woman Clan has so few people because, besides reproduction issues, another important reason is that we don't cherish our own lives."

Hette Yada, in a tone as if speaking about someone else, evaluated herself or perhaps her entire clan.

"From ancient times, powerful Ice Women rarely die by anyone else's hands."

"Because when we encounter enemies who are difficult to deal with, we only choose to go all out, sealing the enemy, and ourselves, in ice."

"Even without strong enemies, if necessary, we would still use 'Ice Luo Qianliu' to freeze everything, bringing everything to silence without hesitation."

With bland words, Hette Yada spoke of what should be a very sad matter.

To them, it seemed neither worth sadness nor glory; just a very plain course of action.

To be honest, Shane found it hard to agree with this mindset.

But this was someone else's affair, and he would not presumptuously judge it.

So, Shane only inquisitively asked, "Is there no way to free those clan members who were frozen?"

With Hette Yada's abilities, unsealing a group of clan members not even at the Limit Level shouldn't be difficult, right?

Even if she couldn't do it, shouldn't the Demons be able to?

As one of Sera's capable subordinates, one of the only three Limit Level experts in the Demon Realm, Hette Yada should be able to enlist Sera's help or other Demons, right?

As Shane thought this, Chafne shook her head, denying his assumption.

"The ice of the Ice Woman Clan is not the same as ordinary ice."

Ice that could theoretically freeze the sun, how could it be ordinary?

"It's not a power that acts on temperature, but rather on space or time, freezing the space where the enemy is and the individual's time, not the enemy itself."

Chafne explained.

"To unseal such ice, you'd need either power that vastly surpasses it, or abilities that affect space and time."

"As for the former, while we could meet the requirement, we can't guarantee the Ice Woman Clan members trapped inside would come out unharmed."

"For the latter, perhaps only Fate Goddess Lidas and the Three Goddesses of Time and Space could achieve it."

Besides that, there is one more.

"The Heroic Holy Sword that can purify all evil and restrain all Demon Clan powers."

Chafne looked at Shane.

"Which means you."
