This Holy Knight is So Despicable!-Chapter 704 - 610: From Lies to Fairy Tales

A conceptual level strongman, how can he achieve meme level ascension?

This is a question with no standard answer.

Depending on the differences in concept, the conditions and opportunities for everyone's advancement vary.

Even if those who have already completed the metamorphosis to meme level were to try to explain, they probably couldn't make it clear.

It's like trying to explain rhythm and tone to someone born deaf.

Such mystical matters, at this point, can only rely on feeling.

And now, Pinocchio has found that feeling.

Or rather, when he used the power of the Hero to slay that damned First Apostle and completed his demon man's feast.

He sensed an opportunity; he knew the time had come.

For Lette, this was indeed a piece of good news that came suddenly and was one of the reasons he decided to search for the Gate of Truth.

Once Old Pi advances to become a meme level strongman, the Fairy Tale Divine Realm, with him overseeing it, will become impregnable.

Plus, with the Dragon Clan bound by the power of oaths and the Titan Clan serving sentences in the Netherworld.

In terms of defense, there's nothing to worry about in his old lair.

"Oh oh oh oh! The power is surging up!"

The Liar Demon sat on the throne of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, feeling a massive influx of power gathering towards him.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

The increase in power didn't seem to help him complete the meme level ascension, like blowing air into a balloon can't turn it into a lead ball.

Realizing the issue, Old Pi promptly began adjusting his strategy.

He stopped absorbing any power and started using his own concept to embrace various fragmented concepts in the Fairy Tale Kingdom.

Big, small, intense, weak...

Everything was welcomed!

To some extent, the concept of lies and fairy tales had a pretty good affinity.

At least in ninety percent of conceptual fusion, there weren't many disturbances.

Also, because Pinocchio himself held the title of King of Fairy Tales, the concepts within the Fairy Tale World naturally yielded to him.

Not to mention, he had just saved the entire Fairy Tale World as a hero.

His transformation into the symbol of fairy tales and promotion to meme level seemed almost a matter of course!

Witnessing the birth of a meme level is something one can only wish for but rarely encounter.

Lette stretched out his hand, tracing an array in mid-air: "Magic mirror magic mirror, obey my wish, reveal yourself quickly!"

With his summons, a Magic Mirror slowly rose from the Fairy Tale World and then shone upon Pinocchio's body.

At the same time, in front of the seven witches, a shadow of the magic mirror appeared, broadcasting the King of Fairy Tales' ascension ceremony in real-time.

This opportunity must be utilized properly.

Lette believed that with this insight, the future development of these witches would not be poor.

As for others, like Afra, the Nora Noi sisters, this wasn't necessary at all.

The conceptual paths between everyone differed too much; not only would they have no reference value, but could also cause some misdirection.

As more and more small concepts were infused into his body, the Liar Demon went through a metamorphosis.

He exuded an aura all over, as if he were the embodiment of the fairy tale concept.

And those who saw him, heard him, or learned of him in any form, would subtly start to replace their understanding of fairy tales with his likeness.

When in this world, he is the fairy tale, and the fairy tale is him.

Old Pi would have walked the path of the meme level, thoroughly integrating into the core of the world.

Finally, the storm in the Fairy Tale World gradually subsided, and Pinocchio now sat quietly on the throne like a sculpture.

The witches all held their breath, staring intently at the scene in the magic mirror.

Alice was particularly nervous, as Pinocchio was her teacher.

However, in the next moment.

"Boss!"

Pinocchio suddenly appeared behind Lette, greeting him with a grin.

Lette turned around and punched, but Pinocchio narrowly dodged it.

"Wow! Boss, why did you hit me right from the start!"

"You never change; when we first met, you pulled this stunt.

What, you want to reminisce about whether my sword is sharp or not?"

Pinocchio waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I didn't mean that at all. I was just saying hello."

Lette looked him up and down, then turned back to look at the magic mirror. He found that in the magic mirror, Pinocchio was still sitting calmly on the throne.

Pinocchio glanced at it and immediately laughed: "Boss, don't worry, that's just my shed shell."

"How come I didn't know that becoming a meme requires shedding a shell?"

Pinocchio sighed: "Boss, you don't know. The entire process of my ascension you witnessed didn't even last a prayer time.

But from my experience, it felt like it took almost half a century!

And at the very end, it was just a tiny bit away from succeeding, which made me so anxious!"

Lette nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand! It's like downloading something, stuck at 99.99% and not moving; it can drive you mad!"

"Boss, I don't quite understand what you're saying?"

"Ahem, go on."

Pinocchio looked at the shell in the magic mirror: "I couldn't figure it out; the entire process was smooth, with no mistakes.

Logically, such an issue shouldn't have occurred.

Later, I finally understood.

The reason it got stuck at the last step was entirely because I was a demon!"

"Demon?"

Lette examined Pinocchio, discovering that the other no longer had any aura of an Original Demon.

"What do you mean, the demon and fairy tale concepts clash?"

"No, strictly speaking, any race clashes with the fairy tale concept. Or rather, to become a fairy tale, one cannot be any single race.

I am now, neither human nor demon, nor a Heavenly God Titan.

I am nothing, not any past race, but a purely singular new species.

Perhaps it can be called the Fairy Tale Clan.

And I am the first of the Fairy Tale Clan."

Lette rubbed his chin: "I see, it seems there are still many interesting things to come.

So, what do you plan to do with this shell?"

Pinocchio looked at his former self on the throne: "I intend to ask the boss to help me send it back to the Abyss.

Perhaps in a few hundred years, a new Liar Demon might be reborn from it.

Although I've become a fairy tale, lies are still indispensable."

Lette cheerfully asked: "Why don't I help you sell it to the Demon Clan? I believe they would surely offer a handsome price."
