Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 430 Destroy

The System hadn’t presented any choices for an incredibly long time, so their sudden appearance truly caught Yang Yu off guard.

During the long process of formulating strategies, Yang Yu had become more and more familiar with the System’s functions, gaining a certain understanding of the mechanics behind triggering tasks, determining the release of Skills, and so on.

By skilfully utilizing these mechanics, the flexibility of Yang Yu’s strategies had greatly increased.

There weren’t many mechanisms within the System that Yang Yu had yet to understand, and the conditions for the appearance of choices were one of them.

In Yang Yu’s memory, the number of times choices appeared could be counted on one hand.

Some were like newbie guides, such as persuading parents, finding companions, or choosing strategies to conquer the Underground Maze, while others were of the gravity that could determine the future war direction—like choosing to support either the Luo Ze Empire’s Main War Faction or the Republican Faction.

With so few instances as a sample, it was very difficult for Yang Yu to discern any commonality among them.

Perhaps, from the beginning, the appearance of choices held no pattern, revealing themselves only upon meeting certain conditions, which, in themselves, had no connection or commonality.

However, upon calming his mind and considering it, each option seemed a bit haphazard at first glance but in reality, they all fundamentally affected him.

Had Yang Yu not chosen to hit the Slime and convince his parents at the outset and instead opted for a ridiculous dance on the table, he wouldn’t have met He Meng and gotten stuck in Newbie Village for an entire year.

Had Yang Yu not chosen to display his talents to recruit companions initially, he wouldn’t have met Bai Jin, nor would he have pursued the Revive Elixir.

A seemingly trivial choice was subtly influencing his decision-making; with different cards in hand, the solutions he could conceive varied greatly. If he were to start over, Yang Yu would surely experience a completely different adventure.

The four options the System now presented, undoubtedly, would also have a profound impact on his future and wouldn’t be mere decorative elements as in some games.

Excluding the first and last options, Yang Yu had to choose between the two options that considered seizing the power for himself.

Yang Yu glanced unintentionally at Bai Jin, whose anxious eyes were not fully hidden by her disheveled hair.

Having held the object aloft, she certainly had experienced a similar turmoil within.

But in the end, she had chosen to throw the orb away.

With this in mind, Yang Yu reached a decision. He grabbed Bai Jin’s wrist with his left hand and returned the orb into the palm of her hands with his right, urging her to grip it carefully.

"I know this thing must be very important to you, and I also know it’s what drew danger upon us. However, how to deal with this object should indeed be your decision to make."

Holding the special orb, Bai Jin too felt a powerful force enticing her to claim the object for herself. There was no confusion on her face as she reached out her other hand and grabbed Yang Yu’s,

"I’ve managed to get quite a bit of information out of that person just now.

This thing is the key tool for summoning Demons. I’m sure my mentor wanted to prevent the Demons from returning to the Mortal World, which is why he took it from the Church.

In my memory, my mentor spent his life traveling around to figure out how to Destroy this thing.

If possible, I would like to carry on his legacy and utterly Destroy it."

As soon as she finished speaking, a new Task popped up on Yang Yu’s System panel:

[Destroy

Task Description: The power contained within the mysterious sphere seems to attract demons, and you have given the decision to Bai Jin. She wishes for you to destroy the sphere, cutting off the Curse Sect’s hopes of summoning demons, and preventing the arrival of chaos in the Mortal World.

Task Requirements: Find a suitable location to help Bai Jin destroy the mysterious sphere in her possession.

Task Reward: Title "Unseduced by Power" (Effect: All control effects are reduced by 10%), Experience two million, Gold Coin one million, ten lottery draws (all Rare or above), Skill Points +100, free attribute points +100

Special Reward: ?????

Condition for Special Reward Completion: ?????

The task that popped up offered incredibly rich rewards, and the title that could reduce control effects was something Yang Yu had always wanted. Two million Experience was an astronomical figure.

Just so you know, Yang Yu needed only about eighty-five thousand Experience to go from Level 54 to Level 55. Although the Experience needed for leveling up increased with each level, two million Experience should easily propel him from Level 55 to well beyond Level 70.

Even more tempting was the special reward of the task. Although he didn’t know what the special reward was, based on past experience, it was sure to be substantial.

A smile appeared on Yang Yu’s face, "I’ve received your request. I’ll help you find a place to destroy this thing and ensure its complete destruction."

With a relieved nod, Bai Jin’s hands emitted a glow as the blue-black sphere slowly reverted to an unremarkable gray, and as Bai Jin and Yang Yu’s fingers moved, it was absorbed into the Magic Array in the palm of Bai Jin’s hands.

Bai Jin clenched her fist tightly, Yang Yu’s hand covered it, and then Bai Jin’s hand covered his again.

Yang Yu’s broad palm was very reassuring to Bai Jin, and the palm touching the back of Yang Yu’s hand also had a hard-to-describe sense of solidity.

Bai Jin revealed a smile, one of pure happiness that came from within.

But in the next second, Bai Jin’s smile abruptly stopped, a flush of crimson crawled up her cheeks, and her smile gradually became more unsettling.

Because Bai Jin realized that the hand she had placed on Yang Yu’s could not move from his back,

"Hehe, what a sly man, hehe, to take advantage of my inattention and secretly put glue on my hand so I couldn’t move it.

Hehe, I didn’t expect you to resort to such despicable tactics.

Is it just to keep touching a girl’s hand? You’re quite something, if you like it that much, should I just chop off my hand and give it to you... hehe...

If you think that method is too cruel, there are other ways. Would you like to hear them?"

Mid-sentence, Bai Jin forcefully raised her voice to cover her embarrassment, not daring to reveal the rest of her thoughts.

She tried again to move her hand from Yang Yu’s back, but Bai Jin found it sticking as if glued down by 520 adhesive, utterly unwilling to leave the back of Yang Yu’s hand.

Bai Jin’s face gradually blushed, and she started babbling incoherently.

Seeing this scene, Iyas simply exhaled slowly.

With that atmosphere, she didn’t feel it was right to suddenly butt in and ask about Hake, so she just scratched her head and looked around to see if anything needed tidying, waiting

And just as she turned around, she noticed an elf youth with short hair, not very tall, wrapped in a blanket, looking at her.

The young elf-boy smiled at Iyas with his usual warm smile,

"I’m back, sister."
