Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Huebelle no longer dwelled on it, shook her head, and walked back to the couch where Lanci was sitting.

Calila seemed aloof, sometimes coming up with whimsically novel ideas, then carrying out her pranks with a poker face.

Last time, Calila suddenly called herself "your concubine" in front of Lanci, which left Huebelle flustered.

Twelve years had passed; she was no longer the Regent, and it was normal for her to have acquired some strange elements.

"Lanci, is this Shadow World trip almost over?"

Huebelle sat down next to Lanci and asked.

Every time, it was the same with the Baby Bus; after seeing Lanci and skipping the battles, she could just wait for the level clearance tally.

"Not to be a nag, meow, but why is this Shadow World so easy?"

Cat Boss sprang out of the shadows and agilely leapt onto the couch.

The difficulty level of this Shadow World wasn't low, but the biggest issue was that the mechanics were too simple. There were no traps, just a straight path to the Lord's battle.

It felt that the Blasphemous Lord Melogas, as the ultimate enemy, although far stronger than the final enemy of the Seventh-Order Shadow World, the Tenth Ancestor Ulysses, this time Lanci's teammates were also very strong.

"Cat Boss, I've missed you so much."

Huebelle spotted the Little Black Cat beside her, picked it up, and whispered.

She had missed Cat Boss terribly after several months apart.

Unlike Tamisha, Cat Boss was the type of cat that quickly became affectionate and friendly.

"I missed you too, meow!"

Cat Boss replied cheerfully.

It had been a long time since it had seen Xiu Bao.

"Eh?"

Huebelle hesitated slightly, pausing mid-sentence.

It seemed a bit different from the last time she heard it over the communicator.

If she had to say, Cat Boss from the Floral City Pariel communicator seemed a bit shyer before.

And now, Cat Boss seemed more cheerful...

Communications often have changes in sound quality, after all.

It must be an illusion.

Huebelle continued to stroke Cat Boss.

"Actually, if this Shadow World were Seventh-Order, probably all the Seventh-Order Challengers combined wouldn't get past Melogas."

Lanci addressed Cat Boss's question without much difficulty.

He was now an expert of the Shadow World.

Placing the Blasphemy Lord in a Seventh-Order Shadow World would be extremely challenging, and without any methods other than brute force to subdue the crazed Blasphemy Lord, one misstep could lead to a total wipeout.

And Melogas indeed had the qualifications to be the final enemy of the Eighth-Order Shadow World; the ordinary Eight-Order stood no chance against her, and it would take multiple Eighth-Orders to possibly defeat her.

"The real difficulty lies in the fact that there aren't many opportunities to face Melogas alone. Her true identity is the Demon Race Regent, and it's not difficult for her to command other General Level Great Demon Clan members to assist."

Lanci continued the debrief.

Also take into account that there are several members of the Great Demon Clan under Melogas.

Even if a Ninth-Order were to forcibly enter Demon King Castle Necaris, they would likely fail.

"What about her Great Demon Clan subordinates?"

Cat Boss still didn't get it.

If in the end there's a final showdown with nearly ten Eighth-Orders, then this Eighth-Order Shadow World would make sense.

"Um... it's probably all because of Pranay and the others..."

Huebelle began to explain the situation at Demon King Castle Necaris to Cat Boss.

Now, Antanas and the other three were enjoying the glitzy Demon World life on Naka Island.

It was supposed to be the Challengers' Great Demon Clan against the Shadow World's Great Demon Clan, but with Pranay's perfect integration strategy, it turned into all members being of the Shadow World's Great Demon Clan.

The four of them didn't revolt, and Melogas thought all her subordinates were loyal. Her Great Demon Clan also thought everyone was loyal to the Demon World.

There were no elements of rebellion.

So, Melogas wouldn't focus her efforts on eradicating internal troubles.

"If Antanas and the others had followed the normal route, helping the Princess escape Demon King Castle, the end would probably be a world-shattering battle at Purgatory City Pasqual, with the Great Demon Clan split into two factions."

At first, Lanci hadn't anticipated Huebelle bringing in Pranay and the others, including the Bingxue Witch.

Now, hearing that Pranay was in Demon King Castle Necaris, everything made sense.

"Sss, I get it, meow."

Cat Boss also understood why they seemed to win so effortlessly against the Blasphemous Lord Melogas tonight.

The Shadow World probably didn't anticipate that these four would be idle.

As a result, everyone was pretending to be bots, Demon King Castle was harmoniously happpy, and the other Shadow World Great Demon Clan members also went idle.

Meanwhile, there was a Princess hidden in Purgatory City, and the Regent Blasphemous Lord Melogas coming to capture a little Princess in Purgatory City wouldn't lead to a massive mobilization of the Great Demon Clan Generals, to avoid the embarrassment of failing to watch over the Princess.

Pranay is truly a master of ranking up!

"Does that mean I can mix in like this too, meow?"

Cat Boss asked Lanci, as if suddenly seeing the light.

"After you're done with this Shadow World, you're probably going to be Ninth-Order. What's left to mix in?"

Lanci poked the Divine Beast's black cat head.

Cat Boss indeed had some Power of Faith.

Every time Cat Lun showed off in front of people, although most of the Power of Faith went to Loren, because everyone believed in Great Priest Loren, some witnesses' Power of Faith also directly crystallized onto Cat Boss, who was taking action.

Gauging by Cat Boss's racial value, the quantity of Power of Faith needed to break through to Ninth-Order should be relatively small. Anyway, at Ninth-Order, it wouldn't have much strength; it would only be on par with a Sixth-Order.

"Right, meow."

Cat Boss almost forgot that the story was coming to an end, and there wouldn't be chances to fight in Shadow Worlds anymore. Even if it could still reap rewards later, chances are it would be led by a new fated individual.
