Chat Group: In the World of Eminence in Shadow, Just Defeated Shadow

Alpha continued, “I imagine Beta, you must be curious about why the curse of demon possession exists and who those people are who kidnapped us?”

“Alpha, you already know?” Beta asked, surprised.

Beta had always known how talented Alpha was. Still, the organization capable of kidnapping someone from the fairy court seemed terrifyingly powerful to her.

Unexpectedly, Alpha had already uncovered their secrets.

“Lord Bai Luo told me,” Alpha explained.

Next, Alpha detailed everything about the Diablo Sect’s curse and how the descendants of ancient heroes could enter a state of demonic possession.

“So, someone tampered with history, turning us, who should have been the descendants of heroes, into despised children of demons?”

“How could this happen?”

Beta clenched her fists, furious: “Unforgivable! That despicable Diablo Sect!”

“Our goal is to find these parasites,” Alpha declared.

“Do you doubt Lord Bai Luo’s power, Beta?”

“Of course not!” Beta personally experienced the warmth of that magic and knew its devastating power: “A force capable of overturning heaven and earth, both transformative and destructive!”

“Exactly,” Alpha affirmed. “As followers of the king, we have a responsibility to clean up the house for the king.”

“What do you mean?”

“The king has no desire to conquer, so we cannot overstep or act secretly,” Alpha clarified intelligently.

She understood that Bai Luo was peaceful and lacked ambition, and she wouldn’t suddenly develop middle school disorder and plan world domination for him.

“With Lord Bai Luo’s abilities, it makes little difference whether he rules this world or not.”

The entire planet was under Bai Luo’s control; did he really need to establish a nation or rule anyone?

No, absolutely unnecessary!

“The world belongs to me, let alone you all,” Bai Luo mused.

“Therefore, the philosophy of the Golden Clan is to ensure the world’s vitality thrives.”

The whole world was Bai Luo’s territory; arbitrary destruction and conflict would only lead to decay and desolation.

The Golden Sacred Domain could make civilization flourish.

This was Alpha’s positioning of herself and the Golden Clan.

Bai Luo was the master of the Shadow World, and they were its managers, striving to make Bai Luo’s life more comfortable.

“The Diablo Sect lurks in the shadows, stirring chaos,” Beta realized. “They’re like termites in the house—pests that must be eradicated!”

“Precisely!” The two girls exchanged glances, feeling mutual respect.

Alpha didn’t act independently but directly reported her thoughts and plans to Bai Luo.

She wasn’t the type to secretly scheme behind her superior’s back.

This behavior in the original story stemmed entirely from Cid’s issues.

Alpha might have always believed that everything she did was within Cid’s expectations, sharing an unspoken understanding.

But the truth was, she was overthinking.

Cid was purely suffering from middle school disorder, thinking everyone was just acting along with him and not believing the Diablo Sect was real.

Yes, there’s no way around it.

The plot of <em>Wanting to Become a Shadow Skill User</em> often gets guessed by Cid for inexplicable reasons.

Like finding the hideout of the kidnappers who abducted his sister, he simply threw a dagger onto a map, missed, and yet acted as if nothing happened.

Surprisingly, he hit the target by sheer luck.

Such situations occurred frequently.

However, Bai Luo was not Cid. After listening to Alpha’s intentions, Bai Luo highly approved of her philosophy.

“You’re right, Alpha,” Bai Luo said. “Cleaning the house allows better living.”

“Not only cleaning, but also regular thorough cleaning to prevent similar incidents from recurring,” Bai Luo added.

With Bai Luo’s approval, Alpha and Beta officially established the Golden Court and embarked on a journey to find and rescue more demon-possessed individuals.

Before long, a week had passed since their first return from the K World.

Every day, Bai Luo worked alongside the cat-eared girls to build the ancient capital Alexandrina.

In his free time, he engaged in chats with chat group members while occasionally checking in with Adolf K. Wiesmann to see how things were progressing on his end.

“Everything has been completely resolved,” Wiesmann reported.

He successfully resolved the misunderstanding between Hidourou and the unnamed youth.

During this process, Wiesmann encountered Genos Nitenjiro, who had come to assassinate the Colorless King, causing quite a disturbance before being subdued by Wiesmann.

Under Wiesmann’s guarantee, Dog Brother became his close attendant, witnessing the trial of the Colorless King up close.

Midway through, Bai Luo arrived as the supreme witness to participate in the trial.

Subsequently, under the joint authorization of the Silver King Wiesmann, the Golden King Kounotori Daikaku, the Red King Soga Son, the Blue King Souma Reiji, and Bai Luo,

Dog Brother used the sword that could slay Authority Holders, once wielded by the previous Colorless King, to execute the death penalty on the Colorless King.

Thus, the turmoil caused by the Colorless King came to a temporary halt.

The day after the trial, Bai Luo requested entry into Wiesmann’s world again.

This time, Souma Reiji approached Wiesmann, hoping to contact Bai Luo through him.

Evidently, there was a conclusion regarding Bai Luo’s earlier mention of recruiting Asato Seiri.

“Is it decided?”

Walking through the Academy Island, Bai Luo had a golden-haired woman trailing behind him—it was Asato Seiri, the first resonator who connected with Bai Luo even before Xue Ji and Alpha.

“Yes, this is my decision,” Asato Seiri respectfully followed Bai Luo, openly stating: “Your power is too great; it would be my honor to constrain myself with it.”

She hadn’t betrayed Scepter4.

Scepter4 and Souma Reiji weren’t rulers; they were companions united by common ideals.

As long as societal stability could be maintained, working anywhere made little difference.

Changing clans itself was risky.

Accompanying a ruler was akin to walking with a tiger, and Asato Seiri was prepared to risk her life to offer counsel to the king.

Thus, Scepter4 members felt not resentment but guilt upon Asato Seiri’s departure.

Helplessly watching their deputy venture into danger while unable to assist left them feeling powerless—an indescribable sensation.

“No need to be so tense,” Bai Luo noticed Asato Seiri’s stiff movements and found it amusing. “Though I am the Black King, I don’t intend to exercise the powers of the Black King.”

In short, Bai Luo wasn’t confined by the identity of the Black King; he simply ignored the mission and responsibilities bestowed by the Drosston Tablet.

“Moreover, my world isn’t here,” Bai Luo added cryptically.

“What?” Asato Seiri understood Bai Luo’s unwillingness to be bound but puzzled over his statement about his world not being here.

Bai Luo’s origin from another world was top secret.

Even Souma Reiji, the Gold King, only knew part of it due to precautions against a certain Green King.

According to the Gold King’s investigation, there was a high probability that another king was manipulating the Colorless King from the shadows.

The Colorless King was unknowingly used as a pawn—a pure fool.

Bai Luo had no intention of getting involved in such scheming and thus paid no heed to the Gold King’s arrangements.

“That Gold King is truly a cunning old fox,” Bai Luo remarked.

“Well, you’ll soon understand the specifics…” Bai Luo said. “For now, wait a moment; I’m looking for someone. Once found, I’ll take you to my world.”

“Looking for someone?” Asato Seiri wondered why Bai Luo had brought her to the Academy Island.

Was there some special talent here?

Suppressing her curiosity about Bai Luo’s “world,” Asato Seiri began pondering who Bai Luo was searching for.

“Ah, found them,” Bai Luo suddenly disappeared before Asato Seiri’s eyes.

“Black King Your Majesty?!” She was startled.

After all, the Black King’s power was terrifying, and Asato Seiri feared Bai Luo might accidentally destroy the Academy Island.

“Mew~ Mew mew~” When Bai Luo reappeared, Asato Seiri noticed he was holding a snow-white kitten.

The small cat was clearly frightened, its fur standing on end and trembling with fear.

“Uh… Black King Your Majesty, where is the person you were looking for?” Asato Seiri asked, confused.

He went away and returned with a cat instead.

What kind of baffling behavior was this?

“Here,” Bai Luo rubbed the kitten’s head with his finger and held it up before Asato Seiri. “She’s the one I was looking for.”

“Uh…” Asato Seiri couldn’t comprehend Bai Luo’s logic.

Not just her, the white kitten also looked perplexed.

For a moment, the two pairs of eyes stared at each other, creating an awkward silence.

“Ah, it’s like this,” Bai Luo explained. “This child isn’t a cat but a human. She’s an Outsider Abilities User with a very peculiar superpower.”

“A superpower to turn into a cat?” Asato Seiri had never heard of such an ability.

“Mew~” Just as she doubted, a melodious cat call echoed near her ear.

Next, Asato Seiri felt the surroundings blur. When she regained her senses, Bai Luo was nowhere to be seen.

“What?! Black King Your Majesty?!” she called out urgently.

“Stop fooling around!” Bai Luo’s stern voice broke her out of the illusion.

“What’s going on?” Asato Seiri looked at Bai Luo and the kitten, quickly realizing the source of the cat’s superpower: “An ability to create illusions? Such strange power!”

Although she had left the Blue Clan, she still retained her superpowers.

Falling prey to the kitten’s ability without realizing it highlighted its formidable nature.

“More accurately, it’s consciousness manipulation,” Bai Luo corrected. “Her real name is Amamiya Haruhi, and she’s one of the survivors of the Kagutsuchi incident.”

“Kagutsuchi!!” Hearing this, Asato Seiri’s pupils contracted sharply, realizing the connection between this small cat and that disaster.

The previous Red King, whose power exceeded limits, lost control, causing the Sword of Damocles to fall, resulting in the sacrifice of 700,000 lives in Kanagawa Prefecture and the “Kagutsuchi Crater Event.”

“This child lost her family during that time but survived alone.”

Bai Luo continued: “Overwhelmed by grief, she awakened her superpowers and altered her memories, transforming herself into a cat.”

So, the cat girl wasn’t a cat turned human but a human turned cat.

She had altered her perception, mistakenly believing herself to be a cat.

“I plan to bring this child to my world,” Bai Luo stated.

Because of Bai Luo’s appearance, the cat girl’s destiny changed.

She neither met Wiesmann nor implanted false memories into his mind.

This butterfly effect created by Bai Luo necessitated compensation for the cat girl.

Moreover, Bai Luo genuinely liked this cute girl.

Having a clingy, adorable cat girl companion was something many people dreamed of.

While he already had a cat-eared girl, Bai Luo wasn’t about to pass up on a genuine cat girl.

“Don’t be afraid; I won’t harm you,” Bai Luo reassured, placing the kitten on his shoulder as the Black King’s Sacred Domain slowly unfolded.

Bathed in the Black King’s Sacred Domain, the kitten seemed to see a dazzling galaxy, her heterochromatic cat eyes gleaming brightly.

She waved her tiny paws, seemingly trying to grab the starlight swirling around Bai Luo.

Even Asato Seiri felt the urge to pet her.

“Alright, let’s go,” Bai Luo announced. “I’m taking you away from this world.”

“Yes,” Asato Seiri replied, slightly nervous but striving to remain calm. She didn’t want the new king to underestimate her.

And besides, it was another world—an experience she’d never imagined possible.

“There’s no need to be so tense; traveling between worlds is just a blink of an eye for me,” Bai Luo assured.

He then submitted a request to the chat group to transport Asato Seiri back to his world, revealing a hidden feature of the chat group’s travel function.

Besides chat group members, they could also bring natives from various worlds, albeit at a cost to the group members.
