"Demon King... such a power is dangerous, who will stop you if you lose your reason?"
"I do not plan to lose my sanity," he said. "However, I also won't allow anyone to stop me," he added.
At that moment, Alice, feeling her jealousy and inferiority complex growing, noticed the majestic silver ape gaze her way. His calm eyes were filled with knowledge and spirit.
—Daughter of this land, do you seek to defeat this man?
