Chapter 172 Reunion

Actually, Hao Ren had guessed that the little girl was Izhaks' daughter the moment she crawled out of the knock-off Mad Lord's cockpit—but guessing was one thing, believing it was another. He stared blankly at the rosy-cheeked little girl on the screen, his gaze towards Izhaks filled with the strangest emotions: "Big guy, are you really sure this is your daughter?"

"Could there be any mistake?!" Izhaks stood up abruptly. "I'm going to see her!"

Lili jumped up, too. "Me too, me too..."

Hao Ren still wanted to ask something, but it clearly wasn't the right time, so he could only follow the crowd out of the room and run towards the throne hall. Along the way, his mind was still a jumble: he had imagined countless guesses related to the fake Mad Lord, but he never thought that the situation would be this: Wang Daquan's daughter piloting it...

He always felt like something was off, but then he thought that these days, even the demon lord's army used chainsaw swords, so maybe nothing was actually wrong!

The group rushed to the door of the throne hall in a flurry. Of course, they encountered some guards along the way, but Lanina, running at the front, casually dealt with them all by saying "urgent military matter." The door was naturally locked, but Izhaks went over and just kicked it open—he was truly anxious, and didn't care that this was his own home.

The heavy main door of the hall was kicked open by Izhaks' foot. The little demon princess and the old butler inside never expected that anyone would dare to barge in like this in the demon lord's castle, and didn't react at all. At that moment, they were still mumbling to each other while seizing the time to eat. When Hao Ren followed behind Izhaks and ran in, he happened to see the golden-haired little girl holding something like bread and blankly raising her head, her mouth bulging, her face full of astonishment and looking like an idiot.

Then she choked.

"Elizabeth!" Izhaks took big strides and ran towards his daughter. At this moment, Gadamo and Elizabeth also reacted. The latter immediately swallowed the food in her mouth and turned to run towards "Daddy Number Three," while the former subconsciously stood in front of Izhaks: "What do you want..."

"You don't even recognize me?!" Izhaks glared at Gadamo. "I am your master!"

The little girl Elizabeth staggered halfway, turning her head to look at Izhaks in shock. Her reaction was almost no different from an ordinary frightened little girl, while Gadamo instantly threw away the food plate in his hand and drew his longsword from his waist: "You dare..."

"Put down your sword!" Lanina strode forward to block Gadamo, while also looking up to greet the bewildered Elizabeth. "Elizabeth, come here!"

The little girl looked at everything in shock, still not knowing what was happening. Seeing this, Izhaks revealed a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's me. How can this child not even recognize her father..."

Hao Ren really couldn't stand Izhaks' chaotic appearance anymore, and patted him on the back from behind: "Face! Temperament! Aura! You've been disguising yourself from beginning to end, what do you expect anyone to recognize!"

Izhaks then reacted, and hurriedly changed the form of his human body. That already frightening face became even more unwatchable in the blink of an eye. His muscles bulged all over his body, and a sense of oppression spread in all directions. The sculptures around the throne hall also seemed to be guided by this aura, and simultaneously emitted a "buzzing" vibration. The little girl Elizabeth stared blankly at this scene, and only realized what was happening when Izhaks fully released his original aura. She took two steps towards Izhaks, and then suddenly burst into tears.

Hao Ren clapped his hands. "Hey! Look at you, you've made your child cry because you're so ugly!"

Vivian forcefully pulled Hao Ren back. "Can't you say less at a time like this?"

Izhaks bypassed the slightly stunned Gadamo and walked towards Elizabeth step by step. With each step, his human form faded a bit, and finally completely transformed into a giant demon more than five meters tall. He sat cross-legged on the floor of the throne hall and stretched out his hand towards Elizabeth: "I'm back..."

The little girl was indeed a demon princess. She had only cried a little earlier because she couldn't control her true feelings. At this moment, she had already tried her best to calm down. She pouted and ran to Izhaks' side, ignoring the high temperature on his body, and familiarly took out two climbing picks and climbed up his arm: "Daddy, are you okay..."

The little girl, who was only a little over a meter tall, climbed onto Izhaks, who was three meters tall even when sitting down. The whole process was like a rock climbing exercise. Hao Ren was a little dazed watching from behind: "I always feel like something's not right..."

Lili was watching from the side, and was moved to tears at this moment. Hearing this, she pushed Hao Ren: "What's wrong... This is so good."

This husky's thoughts have always been extraordinary. Probably nothing in this world could make her feel wrong.

The old butler Gadamo looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment. Everything had happened so fast that he had almost no sense of reality. At this moment, he could only look at Lanina for help: "Great Sage... Is... Is this true?"

"Uncle, don't doubt it, it's true," Lanina was adopted by Izhaks. When she was little, she ran around the castle and was also taken care of by Gadamo, so she was very close to him when she spoke. "The king is fine, he was just recuperating in a very distant place... I've been running around outside during this time to track down the king's whereabouts."

Hao Ren curled his lips, feeling that Lanina's words were too unreal—clearly she had been getting lost all this time, and in the end, even God couldn't stand it anymore and threw her in front of Izhaks...

At this moment, the little girl Elizabeth was already sitting on Izhaks' shoulder, hugging the latter's big head and muttering, not knowing what she was saying, her face alternating between crying and laughing, like an ordinary human child, but as long as you saw her treating the high temperature on Izhaks' body as nothing, you would know that this little girl had the blood of a demon. The father and daughter didn't know how much they communicated, but in the end, Izhaks finally got up, carried his daughter and walked rumblingly to Hao Ren. He didn't know what to say, so he had to look down at his little friends, scratching his head and laughing, scratching down a rain of fire...

"Stop laughing!" Hao Ren shouted, jumping up and down while dodging the fire rain falling from the sky. "Quickly change back, quickly change back! You two will have plenty of time to reminisce in the future!"

Izhaks then slowly transformed into human form, and Elizabeth jumped down lightly from the air, looking at Hao Ren and the others in surprise: "Daddy, who are these people?"

"They are Daddy's friends." Izhaks grinned and laughed happily. At this moment, the expression on his face really didn't show the ambition of pointing out the world in the city of Kadesa a few days ago. Hao Ren looked at the current Izhaks and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, even the greatest overlord has a time when he is tired. As long as there are creatures with thoughts and feelings, it is ultimately difficult to get over their own hurdle.

Hao Ren and the others introduced themselves one after another, but only mentioned their names, and did not explain their origins: explaining things across worlds is too troublesome, let Izhaks slowly tell his daughter when he has time. After Hao Ren and the others finished explaining their situation, Izhaks turned to look at Gadamo: "What's going on with you? How did the royal city survive? And then how did you move here?"

Gadamo opened his mouth, first subconsciously glanced at Hao Ren and the others. Seeing this, Izhaks immediately waved his hand: "Speak, there's nothing to be wary of. There's no need to hide anything from these people—just treat them as me."

Gadamo immediately widened his eyes in surprise, looking at this group of strangers who suddenly appeared in disbelief, but seeing that the demon lord and the Great Sage were standing with these people, he didn't ask any more questions, but nodded: "Old master, we haven't figured out the principle yet—but the space storm that day not only didn't harm the royal city, but also opened a door to a deep space. We discovered a hidden plane. If we're not mistaken... Then it's probably the real 'Mouth of the World'!"

"The real Mouth of the World?" Izhaks frowned. "Tell me in detail."

"It's a strange space that no one has ever set foot in, full of wreckage and ruins, as well as the remains of huge unknown creatures," Gadamo's expression was very serious. "We found an abnormally large number of space nodes there. After calculating the transmission rules of several space nodes, we found that it was extremely similar to the 'bubble zone core' predicted in the manuscripts left by the Great Scholars. I'm afraid it is the ghost space that only exists in theory!"
