"As you can see."
Bai Luo: "I have stopped the time of this world."
"You can even do something like this?!"
"Gods are truly incredible."
Once again, Holy Child was shocked by Bai Luo's great power.
Eliminating Gastrea, judging the guilty, bringing down heavy rain, and now even stopping time.
"In this world, there aren't many things I can't do."
Violet had already analyzed the laws of this world, and stopping time in a magic-less world was incredibly easy.
"Are there things you can't do?"
"Of course."
Bai Luo smiled: "Just like I cannot turn this world into a beautiful utopia."
"Utopia..."
Holy Child naturally knew this concept: "Is it because utopia defies common sense?"
"No."
Bai Luo said: "It's because I don't want to do that."
"If it's just to maintain appearances, I could hypnotize everyone in the world and alter their perceptions."
Bai Luo's words filled Holy Child with immense fear: "But I don't want to do that, because it's meaningless."
"This is what you mean by 'can't do'?"
It wasn't that he truly couldn't do it, but that Bai Luo couldn't accept the method to achieve that goal.
"My taking you away does not mean you cannot return here."
"I know you want to protect your people and stabilize the chaotic situation."
"But the question is, do you really have the ability to do these things?"
Bai Luo said: "You should be very clear about your own situation."
"To put it nicely, you are the leader of the Sakurajima District; to put it bluntly, you are nothing more than a mascot pushed to the forefront."
Even if Holy Child possessed political acumen and talent, how many people would truly listen to her words?
Could the policies she issued truly be carried out?
"After the Day of Judgment, the world will surely fall into great chaos."
Without a sufficiently powerful voice and force, more innocent people are bound to die.
Bai Luo didn't have much affection for this world, and with the trajectory of fate left by Violet, even if someone died because of it, they deserved it.
However, even the most rigorous calculations always had oversights.
"What do you mean?"
"Become my Angel, Holy Child."
Bai Luo stated his objective: "You will learn a lot of knowledge and gain power capable of changing the world by my side."
"You don't need to worry about what changes the world will undergo while you are away."
"Everything here will remain in a state of time stagnation until your return."
To recruit a pure girl with the qualifications of a Saint, Bai Luo had already shown sufficient sincerity.
If Holy Child still refused, even Bai Luo would get angry.
As for the price of angering him...
Bai Luo wouldn't do anything serious to Holy Child, at most, he would spank her bottom.
Then he would throw her back and never care about the fate of that world again.
Pure souls are rare, but not unique.
As long as Bai Luo continues to travel through different worlds, he will eventually encounter a second, a third...
"So, what is your answer?"
"..."
Holy Child took a deep breath: "Please let me be your angel! I want to save my world!"
Very good, Holy Child did not disappoint Bai Luo.
She made the correct choice.
"Let's go."
Bai Luo extended his hand to Holy Child, inviting her: "I will take you to see a wider world."
"As for this place..."
"Consider it my welcoming gift to you."
Afterward, Bai Luo arranged for Holy Child to stay on the Void Ark, where she would be with the Cursed Children.
Upon this return, the first thing Bai Luo had to face was the True Demon Lord's awakening ritual.
Therefore, the matter of the Cursed Children could only be dealt with after he completed his awakening.
"Wei Er, has the soul purification been completed?"
"It has been completed."
The collection of souls was quick, but afterward, Yustizafull needed to use Violet, the super computing machine, to extract the pure soul energy.
The collected souls, based on their origin, would be divided into three parts.
Firstly, the soul core and a small amount of soul energy, ensuring that the individual could reincarnate as a normal person and begin a new life.
Secondly, the majority of the soul energy.
Yustizafull would purify the large amount of soul energy, obtaining pure souls and negative energy.
The former would be used for Bai Luo's awakening ritual.
As for the negative energy, Bai Luo would not discard it, but rather have it consumed by the ultimate skill 'King of the End', which evolved from This World's Evil.
This power would merge into King of the End, making it even stronger.
"All preparations are complete, we can return at any time."
Violet could perform the awakening ritual for Bai Luo at any moment.
"Hmm."
Bai Luo said: "Notify all monsters to immediately enter the Void Ark."
As the sovereign of his subordinates, Family and followers.
Once Bai Luo began his evolution, everyone would fall into a deep sleep, just like in the anime.
This sleep was not merely a simple rest, but rather a means to gain more power from Bai Luo's awakening.
It was a Demon Lord's blessing from Bai Luo.
Advancement, evolution, and gaining new skills.
Even if a subordinate died, they could be resurrected in a breakthrough form under the Demon Lord's blessing.
However, all of this would happen after the sleep.
Therefore, for Bai Luo and his subordinate monsters, a safe place for dormancy was crucial.
"The Void Ark has been connected to the Cardinal World, and the monsters are boarding in an orderly fashion under the leadership of Snow Empress and Artoria!"
"Additionally, during the awakening process, magic essence can be replenished from the Cardinal World at any time."
Bai Luo was very confident in Violet's efficiency.
However, there was still one problem.
That was Bai Luo's own safety.
During the evolution process, other monsters could hide inside the Void Ark, avoiding external influences.
Only Bai Luo had to remain in the Cardinal World.
Thus, Bai Luo needed to find powerful guardians for himself.
"I remember, Rimuru in the original work summoned demons, right?"
Coincidentally, the corpses of the Gastrea that Bai Luo had previously eliminated were still preserved by him.
Yes, those creatures obliterated by light were not truly turned to ash.
Excluding human corpses, which Bai Luo was not interested in, Gastrea still had certain research value.
At the very least, extremely pure bloodline crystals could be extracted from them to strengthen Bai Luo's Cursed Children.
