What is this...!!!!
Not only the King, everyone was shocked and stopped to look at the light.
The artifact and the Demon King merged together, turning into a blazing sphere, then transformed into a strange surface that resembled a portal.
From which a familiar person walked out.
Phew... It's been a while since I last appeared with a body.
It really is her... Miss Celica...
The artifact answered Liv's call, and turned the Demon King into Celica.
But will it actually help to have Celica here...
Lee was the first to respond, and his concern was actually everybody's. The artifact might be powerful, but what about Celica?
If she's only a projection from Liv's M.I.N.D... There's no way that she can give us what we need.
C'mon, you heroes... Are you questioning the power of the Goddess? I'm only using the look of Celica!
Wait, did you just summon me, Goddess Celica, without knowing anything?
The Demon King is now part of me. The Goddess has no body, so I just borrowed his.
It's... It's the Overlord! Ohhhhhh!
How many times have I told you not to call me Overlord!
The King was the second to realize what happened. Unlike us, he immediately shouted out a name.
Only to be kicked on the wall before he could even finish.
At least we don't have to worry about her power. Whether you are Celica, or the Goddess... Could you lend your power to us?
Of course. I answered your call, so I'm on your side, heroes.
Please get rid of that King then!
No, heroes, you are the one to finish him off.
The Goddess is set to be the administrator of this game. I can do many things, but I can never kill any being in the game.
Actually, I cannot do much other than delaying him... Didn't you realize the King was not damaged at all?
Um... So much efforts all wasted.
Not at all! Remember I said you were the one to finish him off? Right now, I, the Goddess, shall give you the latest main quest!
Celica made a "I choose you" pose, and everyone heard a strange system sound. The quest menu was automatically opened.
Main quest updated: Defeat the evil King.
The main quest has changed... Hey, is this a system feature...?
Correct. We couldn't kill the King because that was a system setting. But right now, our main quest is to defeat the King.
That means he is no longer invincible. This quest can now be "completed."
...Ugh, I, I'm not going to die here!
Realizing the tide had turned, the King fled further into the Demon King's Castle. Many guards rushed out.
Roger. All members, strike!
