I froze at his words, momentarily speechless.
Seeing my reaction, Alan sneered coldly.
"Great Demon King Sibyl—did you honestly believe we’d willingly summon a superior for ourselves? Or did you think a mere title would make us bow? You were weak yet chose our summoning contract over leveling up in a low-tier world. You should’ve accepted the consequences the moment you made that greedy choice. Without your greed, this summoning under such harsh conditions would never have succeeded."
"Alan, you—" Carol’s expression shifted sharply, as if to intervene.
Evelyn’s face also tightened, but she regained composure in an instant.
"It’s fine, Carol. I’m merely clarifying reality for our naive Overlord." The violet-haired Demon Kin waved a dismissive hand, his lips curling upward. "Pretending with you exhausts me. The Overlord is just a tool. Why waste effort fighting her? Carol, Evelyn—follow my plan."
Alan’s gaze locked onto me, amusement glinting in his icy eyes.
"Overlord, know your place. You’re a tool we summoned to strengthen low-tier Demon Kin troops. Obey, and we’ll let you keep the *appearance* of authority before demons and humans—we’ll even protect you. But if you harbor unnecessary thoughts..."
His fingers twitched. A black orb oozing ominous energy materialized, hovering silently before me.
"...I regret to say this orb will reduce you to ashes the moment it touches you."
My fists clenched involuntarily.
*This Alan—how dare he be so arrogant!*
Since my first moments in this world, this violet-haired Demon Kin had probed and provoked me with his eyes. I’d ignored it to avoid conflict. Now, he was openly declaring his dominance, stripping away all pretense. A blatant, unmasked threat.
*What do I do?*
*Become a puppet?*
*No. Not every tool gets a happy ending—unless you’re that watering can comrade from the new anime season.*
Even reborn as a pink-haired loli, I refuse to be fate’s plaything! As the cultivators say: *My fate is mine to command—not heaven’s. If heaven seeks to destroy me, I’ll destroy heaven first!*
*I am Sibyl—loli and Overlord. I will master this world! A mere Alan? I could crush him between licks of a lollipop!*
*Hmph. Cheesy, but the spirit’s there...*
*...Wait. Since when is "licking a lollipop" a unit of time? Why did I even think that? A new Sibyl-standard measurement system?*
*Never mind. I’ll starve. I’ll jump from this castle’s highest tower. But I’ll never be a tool!*
If I reject this fate, the simplest solution is eliminating Alan. Removing this nuisance would also intimidate Carol and Evelyn, smoothing my path as Overlord.
*But how?*
I wouldn’t act without an ace—but as a transmigrator, I *do* have one. Without it, obedience might be my only choice.
Even with it, defeating Alan won’t be easy. He fits the "doomed villain boss" trope perfectly, yet my cards are few. Only two useful passives—and both are defensive.
**First passive: [Darkness Controller]**
- Innate aura suppresses evil-aligned races.
- +50% damage against evil-aligned races.
- 1% chance on hit to shatter the soul of evil-aligned targets, killing them instantly.
*Meaning: If my Minor Fireball hits Alan, I have a 1% chance to one-shot him.*
*...Assuming it lands.*
I’d scanned Alan’s stats earlier. His evasion: 400.
My only offensive spell—**[Minor Fireball]**—had this description:
① (Tier 1 Magic) Minor Fireball.
Fame cost to forget: 100
Summons a basketball-sized fireball.
MP cost: 100
Damage on hit: 【25～75 (+0.1×INT)】×【100/(100+0.1×Target’s Magic Resist)】
Hit rate: Base 0.75 (-0.001×Target’s Evasion)
Cooldown: 3 seconds.
*0.75 - 400×0.001 = 0.35*
Simple math. Against Alan, my fireballs would hit only 35% of the time.
**Second passive: [Third Phase]**
- When HP ≤1, locks HP at 1 for 5 minutes.
- +100% all damage.
- Removes all MP costs; halves cooldowns.
- Immune to true damage and max HP reduction.
- Cannot cast healing spells.
- After duration: -50% all damage; healing effects halved for 5 minutes.
Cooldown: 6 hours.
Limitation: Pre-awakening, triggers once daily with halved duration (2.5 minutes).
*Meaning: I get 150 seconds of unbreakable survival—less than Ultraman’s three minutes.*
During this phase, I can spam skills endlessly. Minor Fireball’s 3-second cooldown becomes 1.5 seconds.
*150 / (3/2) = 100 fireballs.*
Theoretically, 100 fireballs × 1% instant-kill chance = guaranteed victory.
But factoring in the 35% hit rate? Only a 35% success probability. (*This loli Overlord calculated it as pure randomness.*)
*Do I gamble my life on this?*
*Or... is there a better way?*
