The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor
Chapter 243 - 237: I Won’t Eat You or Anything
Demon Realm.
Outside the grand plaza of the Demon Emperor Palace, Illidan Demon Emperor led his return from the outside campaign, countless members of the Demon Race eagerly awaited around the plaza, hoping to deduce the victory or defeat of the battle from some details.
However, the reality was they didn’t need to observe closely; just by looking at the triumphant Seven Great Demon Kings and the convoy of sturdy troops behind them, pulling wagon after wagon filled with demon cattle could give them a pretty clear idea of the outcome.
"One, two, three, ... twenty-three wagon-loads of corpses, oh my heavens!"
"Those are corpses of Demon King Level experts. Although their aura has scattered quite a bit after death, they still look identical to my old ancestor who died in the Miracle World!"
"What!? Are all those corpses of Demon King Level experts? Has His Majesty the Demon Emperor annihilated all the Purgatory Demons and Yellow Springs Demons?"
"Phew~~ Lucky I surrendered early, otherwise, there’s probably one more of me on that wagon."
"Don’t tease, your strength doesn’t qualify for that wagon, besides, have you looked at who’s lying on it..."
"Well, you got a point there."
The Demons outside the plaza continued whispering in hushed tones, simultaneously transmitting everything they witnessed through various means of communication to every nook and cranny of the Demon Realm.
It’s imaginable that within just three days, the entirety of the Demon Realm would be astonished by Illidan Demon Emperor’s feat.
The main reason is that such a battle of faith usually opens only once every few thousand years, and more than 98% of the existing Demon Race have never experienced such a fierce internal war. But seeing the high and mighty Demon King level experts die like roadside creatures in such a war reveals the brutality of the battle.
The victorious Guardian Demon God Faction gathered in the Demon Emperor Palace, each demon’s face was adorned with radiant smiles.
They hadn’t anticipated that this era’s battle of faith would end so quickly, nor with such ease.
After all, in the history they know of, the longest battle of faith lasted a full three thousand years, while the shortest one still consumed nearly a hundred years.
Moreover, before the war, they were clearly the weaker side, yet after counting the battle results, they annihilated over two hundred Demon King level experts on the enemy side while only fifteen demons were injured or killed on their side, such a surprise loss ratio is astonishing. No Demon Emperor in any era of history has achieved such terrifying battle results.
After this battle, Illidan Demon Emperor is likely to become the first Demon Emperor since ancient times; whether there will be anyone like him in the future is uncertain, but surely there were none before.
"Everything that needed the Emperor’s action has been sorted out, from today on, the seven of you will oversee the Demon Realm, the Emperor wants to be carefree in the harem. Unless there’s a matter of great importance, nobody is allowed to disturb the Emperor, or don’t blame him for being ruthless!"
Seizing the moment while the high-level of their faction were mostly present, Lynn took the opportunity to set a precedent for his long-term absence.
No matter, being the indulgent Demon Dragon Emperor, indulging freely after securing absolute victory is quite normal, no demon would find it odd.
As for handing over power to the Seven Great Demon Kings, that’s natural too. After all, these Seven Great Demon Kings were chosen as the exceptional beauties by the late emperor, intended to take control of the Demon Realm by subduing them. The current New Demon Dragon Emperor clearly has the same intention. As long as he takes these seven beauties into the harem, wouldn’t the entire Demon Realm be his, without needing his effort in management.
"We abide by His Majesty the Demon Emperor’s decree; henceforth the Demon Realm belongs solely to Illidan Demon Emperor. Our Dark, Chaos, Abyssal, and Purgatory races shall wholly obey your commands."
Among the crowd of demons, representatives of the four races including Ilya stepped forward to bow to Lynn in submission.
The representatives of the Dark Demon and Chaos Demon races were the Grand Marshals of both races, each a pinnacle expert of level 970, and the representative of the Abyssal Demon race, Ilya, has also advanced to level 960 in that demigod battle, not only due to killing some enemy demons but mainly because Lynn allocated all experience to her and the seven demons equally, allowing her to leap further in such a high foundational level.
As for the representative of the Purgatory Demon race, he was a captured laborer, with only level 870, the strongest among the Purgatory Demon race excluding those on the casualty list, because all Demon King Level experts of Yellow Springs and Purgatory races fled, leaving behind the abandoned Purgatory Demon army that was almost completely slaughtered or captured, which was also the biggest gain of this faith battle for the Guardian Demon God Faction.
The Yellow Springs Demon race was able to escape unscathed due to their surprise attack strategy without the army behind them.
"Alright then, the Emperor doesn’t want to handle tedious affairs, you seven sisters manage the follow-up accordingly... Um, remember every three days, one of you sisters should come to the Emperor’s harem to ’report work’; if interested, a few together wouldn’t be bad either..."
As Lynn spoke, his mouth involuntarily curled into a smile recognizable by all demons, combined with his fiercely hideous face meticulously revamped by Ilya, looking as lewd as can be.
However, none of the demons present dared to speak out at this moment, although Illidan Demon Emperor’s image and temperament weren’t quite acceptable, his strength was undeniable; beauty is reserved for the strong, which is an ironclad truth in the Demon Realm, which honors supremacy even more than the Miracle World.
"So, Demon Emperor, will you be attending tonight’s victory celebration feast?"
