Chapter 413 - 322: Using the Demon King’s Wife’s Money as a Bridal Gift
"Lynn! How dare you show up! Prepare to die!"
Opening the door, Ilya was greeted by an empty treasure vault and a grinning Lynn, feeling like she had seen a ghost.
Other demons might fear the Miracle Saint Emperor who has become a True God, but she, as Lynn’s legitimate wife, certainly wouldn’t wag her tail and bow down when faced with an enemy god.
She even dared to confront the True God directly in a situation where no other demons were around, refusing to believe that this man, who was so infatuated with her body, would be willing to harm her.
"Isn’t it almost time to get married? I just came back to get some pre-marital property, no need to be so worked up."
Seeing Ilya rushing at him, clenching her small fists pretending to punch his chest, Lynn simply laughed and deflected her force, allowing her to dive into his arms.
Ilya clearly didn’t understand the joke he made, as with her personality, the future only held widowhood, not divorce. This could be another kind of loyalty.
"I’m not worked up! It’s you who’s bullying us, taking our resources to support Miracle World. You already compensated us back on the Divine Protection Continent, and those guilty demons were slaughtered by you. Why are you still asking for so much from us? Think we’re easy to bully? I’ll tell you, it’s all a Phantom’s illusion. We Seven Great Demon Kings aren’t all pushovers!"
Under Lynn’s handling, Ilya’s strong confrontation unwillingly turned into a submissive embrace, but even being held gently with Lynn’s hand stroking her back, she showed no signs of softening.
Furthermore, since they were previously in combat mode, they all maintained optimal fighting forms. For example, the current Ilya was in her three-meter tall Abyssal Demon form, a figure that could not be described as tall but rather an extraordinary carriage. In this state, she certainly couldn’t be seen as a soft girl.
However, whether it was a new skill or deity’s ability, Lynn’s body transformation was even more agile and effortless than hers. The three-meter tall Ilya ran into him and found herself a head shorter, held by him as if comforting a girlfriend throwing a petty tantrum.
"I’m not bullying you; I’m just trying to balance the strength between the two worlds. Otherwise, once we all leave, how can we ensure Miracle World and Demon Realm won’t fight again?"
Regarding this issue, Lynn had of course thought carefully. His demands were not just for his own benefit. As one who has ascended to divinity, he had little use for the resources of the lower realm. Although part of his intention was to procure some benefits for the wives in Miracle World, the most important was to boost other forces.
After all, when the day comes for him to inevitably head to the Divine Realm, he must ensure the lower realm remains stable. To achieve this, he needed the power balance between Demon Realm and Miracle World to be similar.
It’s not that he didn’t trust his seven demon wives, fearing they might cause trouble after he left this world. The real reason was that if he not only survived but also found a solid foothold in the Divine Realm, he’d inevitably have to bring his lower realm wives up.
By then, with the departure of the top demons and pinnacle figures from both realms, and the Seven Great Demon Kings gone from the Demon Realm, not to mention the strongest guard in Miracle World, no one would be able to control the demon race, nor protect Miracle World.
Therefore, ideally, he should ensure that the two worlds could maintain peace even without their family. If peace couldn’t be guaranteed, then they should have similar strengths, making it so that whichever side wished to act would have to think twice.
At that time, they’d be far away in the Divine Realm or Upper Demon Realm, restricted by world rules, unable to interfere with the lower realm much.
Previously uncertain about when he would ascend, and the situations he’d face afterward, the considerations and thoughts were different. But now, with the ability to remain in the human world as a deity, he surely had to make more arrangements.
"Even with balancing strength, you’re using our Demon Realm resources to supplement Miracle World. You don’t want the two worlds to clash again, we can promise you that. Even if you suddenly disappear, we’re prepared for a peaceful takeover of Miracle World, never really intending to fight. Now that you’re still here, a fight certainly won’t happen."
"And just give us some more time; once our seven sisters’ strength can overwhelm Near God levels, there’ll be no concerns anymore. From then on, Demon Realm will be our Seven-Word Hall, all under our rule! From Dragon Mother on top to all Demon Generals below, we’ll make sure they won’t step into Miracle World even once."
"So... could we disregard the treaty? In the future, I’ll give you a batch of empty Storage Rings, and you can accept them conveniently."
In Lynn’s arms, Ilya argued for the Demon Realm’s future, and toward the end of her speech, she even resorted to using the coquettish tone she despised, akin to demanding like a spoiled child with her husband.
She was the Proud Demon King, not a Tsundere Demon King. In her life, she never acted coy, unless making special requests to her husband.
"Yeah, yeah, that’s a massive amount of resources. Even emptying out this vast Demon Realm can’t settle it all at once. You demand so much from us; aren’t you just cutting flesh from me?"
Greed Demon King Liss chimed in, supporting the eldest sister’s argument, while conveniently letting Lynn hold her left and right, hoping that he might be more agreeable if he’s in a good mood.
