[Spinning into King of the Demonic Domain at full speed for this incredible brotherhood—shippers, rejoice!] [HOT]

[#1: Spinning into King of the Demonic Domain at full speed for this incredible brotherhood—shippers, rejoice!]

[#2: First of all, Percy x Bai Yi is absolutely the pinnacle of brotherhood in this manga. The level of detail is worth savoring again and again. You can see fated rivalry, mutual devotion, growth and companionship in a single ship—though our Percy x Bai Yi has nothing to do with any of those words, it does have its own unique flavor.]

[#3: When did I, your host, first discover this ship was truly delicious? It all started when Lucy went missing in the West District. Percy first decided to prioritize the competition, then quickly reversed course upon learning the situation had changed and went to find Lucy. Percy's spectacular about-face was already entertaining enough, but even funnier was Roy's expression. (screenshot)]

[#4: No trust, only suspicion—with a dash of barely concealed disdain. While Percy stans were still frantically whitewashing him, our Roy had already seen through everything.]

[#5: That "I'm the only one in the world who truly gets your little schemes" energy—dear viewer, are you already shipping it?]

[#6: Of course, our Roy and Percy have always been a two-way street. Percy has been quietly paying attention to Roy all along.]

[#7: Classic study material: "Roy, have you been going through my mailbox?" This kind of blunt directness between bros—THIS is the highest form of trust! (screenshot)]

[#8: Now for this semester's new material. Percy and Bai Yi deliberately excluded the other two for a private chat. Bai Yi secretly revealed Roy's true identity to Percy. Percy said "already knew" and "trust my friend"—but during the day, when Roy was present, he pointedly steered away from important topics. Clearly didn't want Roy knowing key intel.]

[#9: Percy's subtle scheming has been a constant throughout King of the Demonic Domain, but his special treatment of Roy is particularly noteworthy. There are plenty more details like this—I'll leave some for the shippers to discover on their own.]

[#10: …OP, have you lost your mind?]

[#11: OP is just shipping-drunk. Please respect people's freedom to ship. Next up, I'm dropping the bombshell moment that hammered me into the pit for good—I refuse to believe you won't ship it after seeing this.]

[#12: Everyone surely remembers how Percy lost the Ability Tournament yet rescued innocent workers caught in an accident, earning rave reviews overnight—even the tournament champion Wu Shu was overshadowed.]

[#13: Please examine these two manga screenshots. One shows Roy losing his composure after the competition setback. The other is Roy's expression during Percy's speech at the victims' funeral. (screenshot) (screenshot)]

[#14: As a veteran shipper, I've always had a firm grasp on Roy's and Percy's characterizations. Roy isn't as passionate as Lucy, isn't as naively straightforward as Caleb, and isn't as subtly scheming as Percy. He's the coldest person in the Cloud-Soaring Squad.]

[#15: And yet THIS Roy threw a tantrum and stormed off after a competition loss—while Percy, on his way to find Roy, "happened" to deal with monsters that appeared out of nowhere and saved civilians.]

[#16: The most interesting part is Roy's expression at the victims' funeral. More than grief, it looks like a guilty conscience. And what, pray tell, does he have to feel guilty about?]

[#17: Could it be because he sacrificed his conscience and endangered civilians just to set Percy up as the hero of the lower district?]

[#18: Has OP thrown away their brain just to bash Percy and Roy? There's no way Roy would do something like that!]

[#19: I'm just a recreational shipper, not here for plot analysis. Don't blow this out of proportion. Do I need your permission to ship?]

[#20: Child, you're about to ascend to godhood…]

At first, shippers thought it was a normal ship thread and happily clicked in. Once they read the actual content, they lost it and erupted in outrage. Then the popcorn crowd piled in to fan the flames, and the thread rocketed to the forum's front page.

[#102: Please stop roleplay trolling, I'm begging you!]

[#103: Let's go home. They're fabricating that Roy engineered an accident to build Percy's hero image—how much does the person behind the screen hate these two boys?]

[#104: Come look at your favorite Percy x Bai Yi ship~]

[#105: I can't breathe. Please keep serializing this!]

[#106: Reported. Twisting the Creator's original intent with embellishments, and smearing fan-shipping women in the process.]

…

[#212: Okay, I came for the laughs, but the more I read, the more plausible it seems?]

[#213: It is a bit unsettling when you think about it. I thought Roy's behavior at the funeral was odd at the time, but the forum was full of praise for his "cold exterior, warm heart," so I let it go.]

[#214: Given that Roy was planted by the Emperor, Roy engineering the accident to build up Percy was likely on the Emperor's orders. That means the Emperor was hiding even deeper than we thought. Why exactly is he so invested in Percy?]

[#215: This is a genuine plot-analysis thread now. Congrats to the shippers—you shipped your way to the truth!]

[#216: This manga perfectly illustrates "more men, more drama." OP, please continue your serialization!]

[#217: Huh? So those people who died for nothing were just stepping stones for Percy's hero arc? Then what about all the hate Ye Zheng took at the time? Guess she just didn't have a "good sister" willing to pave the road for her with corpses, huh?]

[#218: Even if Roy did engineer the accident, Percy didn't know about it. Can you stop projecting malice onto the characters?]

[#219: Roy was acting under the Emperor's orders. Could he have defied the Emperor? If you want to blame someone, blame the one giving orders. Roy is a victim too.]

[#220: The old threads calling Ye Zheng a "privilege queen" and "unfit to lead commoners" are still floating on the front page. Two boomerangs in one day… Who's going to apologize to Ye Zheng?]

[#221: The baby-boy stans' desperate damage control in the comments adds another layer of artistic depth. And with that—the masterpiece is complete!]

…

[#389: This is the highest-traffic non-Ye Zheng-related thread since she first appeared. Checking in.]

[#390: The mean boys are too hilarious. Memes are already out. (Roy: Bro, I get you.jpg)]

[#391: And so the boys battle fiercely for a spot as Ye Zheng's runner-up. The goddess stands eternal; the runner-up duo is ever-revolving.]

[#392: Is the fake brotherhood between the male characters really this obvious? As expected from a male Creator—clearly drawing from life experience.]

[#393: Men scheming behind each other's backs and then hugging it out for the BL bait. The whole world screams "this is pandering to women" and leans in for a kiss.]

[#394: No special editing needed. Straight from the source material. The pettiness and scheming are right there in the open. THIS is the gold standard of boy group studies!]

[#395: If you can read this entire thread without laughing, you're truly depressed.]

[#396: OP, whose disciple are you? Terrifyingly good…]

[#397: Actually Roy's contact lens just slipped, that's why his expression looked off. Please don't speculate with malice, okay? Okay.]

[#398: I'm dying laughing. Good thing this forum is anonymous—I can't imagine what OP's inbox would look like otherwise.]

[#399: Brotherhood is just this scheming, this fake, this hyper-masculine, and this unworthy of holding a candle to sisterhood.]

" My Lady Saintess, the team you healed yesterday would like to meet you to express their gratitude." The burly man in a suit bowed, his voice deliberately lowered as if not to disturb the girl in his sight. A colossal gilded statue stood in the vast cathedral, depicting a man in a cleric's robe raising a sword, exuding a thunderous aura. Even as a static statue, it commanded respect. However, the man in the suit wasn't looking at the magnificent statue; his gaze was fixed on the tiny figure kneeling beneath it. Glimmering light danced on the girl's loose black hair, making her appear sacred and mysterious. Even from behind, she was captivating. When the girl turned her face, her raven-black eyelashes fluttered, as if an exquisitely sculpted statue had come to life. Charles felt as if he had become Pygmalion, his wish fulfilled. "Let them go. Healing them is my duty, it has nothing to do with them. No thanks are necessary." Her ethereal voice made Charle...

Percy stuffed the advanced beast hide back into his bag and nodded to his teammates. "Let's go." The four left the  Sei Curia , and someone on the way couldn't help but complain. The blond teenager in a luxurious white suit clicked his tongue. "The  Sei Curia  people are still so arrogant, looking down on us with their nostrils when they kicked us out." The tall boy in soft armor good-naturedly advised, "Perhaps it wasn't our benefactor's intention. After all, he saved us; he's a good person." "Ha, just wait until their noble Divine Academy gets absolutely crushed by us in the league. How dare they so blatantly look down on us people from the lower district!" The high-ponytail girl swung a fist in the air, her short leather skirt flaring with her angry steps. Finally, the three looked at their captain, Percy, in unison. Percy walked at the very end of the group. Usually calm and composed, he looked a little lost, seemingly dee...

Chapter 3-The Manga Pariah's Guide to Self-Salvation

Centuries ago, after the demonic domain descended upon the Empire during its industrial revolution, technological advancement stalled, and the focus shifted to the study of ability users. With the shadow of death looming over everyone, who had the time or inclination for entertainment? Therefore, Ye Zheng couldn't imagine the rich variety of entertainment available to people in the real world. "A manga app?" So, besides making calls, sending texts, and playing simple block games, phones could also be used to read manga? Ye Zheng tapped into the manga app. A vibrant, innovatively designed interface instantly popped into view, making her eyes widen in surprise, like a lost foal stumbling into a concrete jungle. She clumsily scrolled through the interface, tapping here and there. [Electronic manga is popular in the real world right now; you can read it on your phone. King of the Demonic Domain is serialized on this website.] The system's words made her even more curious...
