Xyrin Empire-Chapter 175 - Look, How Terrifying Lolis Can Be
Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Look, How Terrifying Lolis Can Be
Jaina was a bit puzzled. The Divine Envoy before her seemed to play with powerful demons as if they were mere toys, leaving her wondering if it was intentional or simply in his nature to keep causing these absurd, laughable incidents one after another.
For instance, right now, the interrogation had self-absorbedly started only after the demon’s hearing was taken away…
“Ahem, an accident, just a small accident…” I coughed awkwardly, tapping on Sandora’s head as she struggled to suppress her laughter beside me, and then I lifted the hearing restriction from the demon.

“Listen, demon, now I ask and you answer. Don’t even think about hiding anything or lying. You’ve seen how easy it is for me to kill you, but in the spirit of entertainment, I’ve decided to let you be of some small use. Got it?”
“…Who exactly are you people? I don’t remember humans being so powerful…” Even after being tormented by me and having most of his will to resist worn down, this stubborn demon seemed uncooperative.
“Hiss—hiss—” The sound of searing flesh came through, as Pandora made her move. The girl stretched out a hand and with her fingertips reached towards the demon’s arm—her pale, slender finger effortlessly melted through the demon’s tough muscle, which could withstand alloy bullet attacks. Like a hot iron rod piercing cheese, Pandora left a hole vaporizing through the demon’s arm!
Good grief, was this kid’s finger made of a soldering iron? Also, I suddenly realized that the truly frightening creatures in this world apparently included innocent-looking little lolis…
“Ah…” The agony of his arm being slowly melted by the extreme heat made the hard-headed demon howl uncontrollably to the sky, but he was horrified to find that aside from such wails, he couldn’t move an inch—even wiggling a finger was too much to hope for!
Sandora decisively cut off the demon’s control over his body and spoke down to him with a tone of icy arrogance, “Demon, our patience is limited. It’s in your best interest to honestly answer our questions. Any superfluous chatter will only make my sister take an even greater interest in you as a toy!”
Baby, you’re so wronged not to be the final boss!
However, Sandora’s and my roles have always been clearly defined—one played good cop, the other bad cop. Sandora’s imposing presence, honed through countless campaigns and the commanding air of a superior, was sometimes more effective than any physical torture, while I was better suited to offer what seemed like a light at the end of the tunnel when the enemy’s psychological defenses were about to collapse. As for Pandora—this clueless little loli, who was neither good at psychological warfare nor skilled in underhandedness, had but one task: to create a terrifying atmosphere from time to time with effortless ease.
Watching the demon leader twitching occasionally from the pain of his wounds, I revealed what I believed to be a very sunny smile, “Now you can talk. How did you get to Azeroth? I’m quite curious about this… space transmission technology.”
“I don’t know…”
Pandora immediately stepped forward, her delicate little hand ready to poke a few more times.
“Ah… no… I really don’t know… It’s not the Burning Legion’s technology. I’m just a lower officer. I only know that the Great Demon Lords found some very powerful allies. Those allies brought us this ability to conduct space transmission that ignores world laws and energy constraints. But the principles behind this technology… I truly don’t know…”
“Disregard world laws and energy limitations?!” Xyrin and Sandora exclaimed in unison, “Could you possibly directly transport Akmonde to Azeroth?!”
If that were true, the situation would be as bad as it could get. We might handle fifty variant demons with our numerical and equipment superiority, but if the whole Burning Legion, including the most powerful demon lords, were to land on Azeroth at the same time—we simply couldn’t hold them off!
Fortunately, this scenario wouldn’t occur, as the demon immediately disclosed very important information, “That’s impossible. It’s said that the transporter brought by those new allies suffered severe damage due to a fatal strike from the enemy. Even transporting a few dozen low-level demons is already pushing it to the limit, and to repair the transporters will take at least half a year…”
I sighed with relief, then asked, “Let’s set that issue aside for now. The second question—why are you more powerful than ordinary demons? Has the Burning Legion become so extravagant that even the scouting mixed soldiers are of elite demon quality?”
“Because we have received blessings!” The demon leader immediately showed a proud expression and arrogantly held his head high—an action emphasizing his own height advantage, which once again provoked the petite and adorable Pandora beside him. She immediately landed a beautiful inch-fist punch on the leg of this forgetful demon (regrettably, even when he was squatting, Little Pandora could only reach his calves…), causing the latter to howl miserably and flop to the ground.
The demon guard on the side, who had been stealthily observing us, shivered again and squatted even more diligently on the ground while trying to shrink his body as much as possible, continuously attempting to stuff his head into his pant crotch…
Thus, loli are truly frightening…
“Very well, a blessing,” I said wryly, looking at the demon writhing on the ground, “but in my view, it’s merely an upgrade from a bean curd dregs level to a bean curd block. Tell me what these blessings are all about.”
“This… I don’t really understand… I merely followed orders. Our leader had us lie in a strange pool, then the Fear Demon King would hypnotize us. When we woke up, we had become more powerful demons. As for the process in between… I have no idea what happened… After that, we were dispatched here. Our higher-ups tasked us with acting freely and causing chaos as we pleased, nothing more…”
It seemed I couldn’t get anything more from this useless demon. Although he was slightly stronger than the mixed soldiers, it was clear he was merely a simple soldier being used as a tool, following orders. The demons appearing now were probably just the Burning Legion’s first batch of semi-finished products altered for testing their efficacy in the world of Azeroth. Although we couldn’t get much info, Sandora and I managed to deduce quite a bit. Firstly, the alliance between the Burning Legion and the corrupted Xyrin Apostles had essentially become a fact; this was evident from the Xyrin space technology they used. Secondly, those highly likely Abyssalized Xyrin Apostles had suffered a heavy blow before contacting the Burning Legion. Even the most important military facilities of the Xyrin Army—the space transmitters—were almost destroyed. This somewhat confirmed the report brought by Dingdang—that in the world of Azeroth, there had been fierce conflicts between the Star Domain Divine Race and the Xyrin Apostles. Although the small division of the Divine Race was possibly wiped out due to an absolute numerical disadvantage, the corrupted Xyrin Apostles had been significantly weakened too, a piece of good news for us. The third point: the biochemical transformation technology obtained by the Burning Legion from the Xyrin Apostles might still be imperfect; otherwise, they wouldn’t be frequently sending test subjects to the world of Azeroth to gauge the success of the alterations. However, considering the terrifying R&D capabilities of the Xyrin Technicians, it’s feared that this technology will mature very soon. By then, we will have to face a Burning Legion that has grown in strength by many folds—even if such a transformation has limited effects on the likes of powerful demon lords, the large number of ordinary soldiers whose strength has increased several times will be more than enough for us to handle.
Beyond that, another question came to mind: why had the Burning Legion only begun these actions now? What was the point of their previous moves, like dispatching beastmen and inciting the Undead Catastrophe?
However, looking at this foolish, simple-minded, soldier-type demon officer in front of me, I knew I wouldn’t get answers to these questions today.
“Alright, that’ll do for the questioning.” I reached out and pulled Pandora, who had been spinning around the two demons creating a terrifying atmosphere, back to my side. The moment Pandora left, I distinctly saw the two unfortunate demons reveal faces filled with the joy of having escaped disaster.
“Jaina, this winged guy is yours now. I’ve nullified his innate demonic talents; aside from his height, he’s not much better than a pig now. You can use him for experiments, as a specimen, or even to improve the soldiers’ meals—I have no objections. As for this Broken Horn guy, I’m taking him back. Our Prophet has questions for him. You don’t mind, right?”
“Of… of course…” Jaina responded as if waking from a trance, seemingly having just snapped out of some strange fantasy world, or maybe she was taken aback by the spectacle before her. That might also be possible; a powerful demon who towered over humans reduced to a plaything by a Little Loli was indeed a nerve-racking scene.
