The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 145: She’s So Beautiful

The man who avenged my father’s death...

It’s the first time Lynn has heard such blasphemous words so directly, even though to Helena and this generation of the Seven Great Demon Kings, he indeed is such an existence.

"If my humble and incompetent father hadn’t died, I wouldn’t have inherited the Proud Demon King’s position so early. If I hadn’t merged the Proud Demon Intent into myself early, I wouldn’t have grown so quickly."

"So, you did me a favor, and to the entire Proud Demon Kingdom, you did a great favor."

Ilya clenched the long-lost Demon King Order, absorbing the vast magic power that matched her highly. Her eyes gradually lost focus, and her words seemed like murmurs.

This state lasted for a while, and when she finally returned to her senses, her pair of vivid red eyes were brimming with splendor.

"Although there’s no direct upgrade, my foundation has deepened a lot. Once I thoroughly refine the Demon King Order, I might ascend directly to the peak of the Demon King realm."

Ilya looked at Lynn, who was curiously staring at her, without any concealment, she actively talked about her changes.

She had nothing to hide from him, especially since the Demon King Order was an extremely important treasure to her, but to the Demon Emperor, it was merely an emblem of a subordinate’s identity.

"I’m not really sure about the situation in your Demon Realm, nor understand the state of your kingdom, I only care whether you can fulfill your promise to me."

Presenting a meeting gift that deepened the foundation of Proud Demon King Ilya, Lynn, looking at her eyes gleaming with joy, spoke in a flat tone.

"Promise... No problem, tonight I’ll have Phantom send over ten or eight Enchanting Demons first."

Regarding Lynn’s request, Ilya agreed without hesitation.

"Enchanting Demons... I, I wasn’t talking about that, I meant eliminating the Destruction Demon God fanatics swollen with destructive desires, completely ending the war between the Demon Realm and Miracle World!"

If anything, the temptation of ten or eight Enchanting Demons was indeed great; Lynn almost instinctively agreed.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, recalling that tonight it wouldn’t work as he had already promised to return to his wives at night.

More importantly, compared to three thousand Enchanting Demons, what really moved him was the future of peace between the two realms, yes, definitely right! Absolutely unmistakable!

"Naturally, it’s no problem. Once the Destruction Demon God fanatics are completely dead, and the ordinary believers convert their faith or be fiercely suppressed, the Demon Realm will be under the control of us seven sisters, then we can definitely fulfill your promise, especially since the Guardian Demon God detests war the most."

Proud Demon King Ilya guaranteed Lynn, completely unaware of the unusual attention she had attracted with her unconscious creation of surging waves.

"You’ll arrange that, regardless, I’ll only specifically handle the Demon Slayer task, at most cooperate with you in showmanship, any other issues are for you to consider, I won’t do the foolish thing of an outsider commanding insiders."

As Lynn spoke, he sat comfortably beside Ilya, looking at the mirrored image of himself on the opposite side. Even when wearing the Demon Emperor’s blood-colored Imperial Robe, he didn’t seem like a member of the Demon Race, but rather an awkwardly comedic portrayal of a good person pretending to be bad, which wouldn’t convince other demons unless Ilya had other plans.

"We’ve prepared for so long, naturally there will be no slip-ups, Demon Emperor, please wear this."

Ilya said, handing Lynn a blood-red Jade Pendant still carrying a warm breath. Lynn, through the mirror, saw it was just taken from her bosom, the warmth from it was naturally her body temperature, and if he had the sharp dog-like nose of Little Yuna, he might even pick up a whiff of milky fragrance.

Lynn received the Jade Pendant, and with a solemn expression as if having no other thoughts, casually slipped it into his own pocket.

Almost simultaneously as Lynn stowed away the blood-red Jade Pendant, he was surprised to notice a subtle change in the mirror’s reflection of himself.

His gaze seemed to turn fierce and vindictive, his aura became eerie and sinister, his demeanor shifted from peaceful to a somewhat arrogant disregard for others, as if he had transformed into a male and wicked version of Ilya.

"This Jade Pendant is a Demon Artifact, capable of simulating any creature’s aura into that of a Proud Demon, no demon beneath the Demon Emperor can discern it. Moreover, the string on the Jade Pendant, crafted by the Greed Demon King, can convert all personal belongings into pure magic power. Demon Emperor can thereby transform Fighting Spirit from the Human Race, except for Light Element, into usable magic power."

"However, despite the perfect combination of these two Demon Artifacts, there is a flaw; while auras can be simulated, magic can be converted, once simulated and converted, not only does the Demon Emperor deceive other demons, but he also deceives himself, meaning... once disguised as a Demon Race, you cannot equip your former Divine Artifacts and powerful gear, even if they’re not Light Element, due to the massive differences between humans and demons, making it incompatible."

At this point, Ilya carefully observed Lynn’s expression changes; she wanted to know if he would hesitate upon hearing this limitation, for using two non-combat Demon Artifacts meant he couldn’t wield his most powerful Divine Artifact equipment, which meant a significant drop in his potential.

Originally being a 999-level Supreme Saint Emperor of the Human Race, he could wield the Saint Emperor’s Sword to cause bloodshed in the Demon Realm. Now, if disguised as a Demon Emperor, the seven sisters could at best equip him with a complete set of 900-level top-tier gear, though the accumulation of attributes was considerable, it couldn’t be compared to the Demon Emperor’s own equipment.

Nonetheless, if aiming for a better resolution to the conflict between the two realms, then Lynn’s identity in the Demon Realm could not be as a Human Race, because apart from the seven sisters, no demon belief could accept a Human Race as their Emperor.

No matter how the Demon Realm respects strength, no matter the tradition of reverse coup for emperorship, there would still be a bottom line.

To ascend to the Demon Emperor post, firstly it’s about strength, secondly faith, thirdly bloodline heritage, and the ninety-ninth is where one comes from, but regardless of how little importance is placed on the emperor’s origin, he must at least hail from one of the hundred tribes of the Demon Realm, even if he’s a slave demon hatched from a blood pool...

"Looking at you, I don’t see much difference between humans and demons."

Lynn looked at the masked beauty perfectly mirrored to himself, speaking frankly.

"And now?"

With Ilya’s voice sounding, her already tall figure soared again, reaching three meters in height, the mirror could capture only her waist. Meanwhile, a pair of demon horns resembling sheep horns emerged from her forehead, her previously fair and tender skin visibly darkened, eventually changing to a light brown hue, and with her body moving, a sharp black-red tail akin to a drawn blade flashed behind her, glistening coldly.

This is the true form of an Abyssal Demon.

But she’s so beautiful...

Turning around, Lynn saw Ilya’s mask fall to the ground, torn due to her changing size. In an instant, he was captivated by the charm of the Queen of Demons.
