One hour after the Goddess of Life’s Divine Domain disappeared, a large convoy from Wangsheng City came to a halt southwest of the Dea Plateau.
Terrified by the sight of the Demon’s domain and the God’s Divine Domain, they dared not move forward and refused to approach Deya City until they understood what had happened.
“Have the scouts figured out the situation in Deya City?”
In the luxurious carriage at the head of the convoy, a dignified middle-aged man wearing a dark patterned brocade robe stepped down and asked the attendants around him.
The attendant bowed nervously and replied:
“Reporting to you, Lord of the City. The scouts sent out an hour ago haven’t reported back with definite information…”
“No news yet?!” The man addressed as the Lord of the City looked displeased, his brows furrowed, and his fingers fidgeted anxiously on his sleeve.
As the Lord of Wangsheng City, Di Lun bore enormous pressure in bringing this delegation to visit the Ninth Saintess.
He knew the Radical Faction had already been sowing discord in Deya City.
If they succeeded, Wangsheng City would lose this once-in-a-century opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with Deya.
“Send another squad of scouts! We must find out what happened in Deya City within two hours!” Di Lun ordered coldly.
At that moment, a gust of wind suddenly swept across the grass in front of the convoy.
The swift wind then transformed into a well-equipped, faceless intermediate-rank scout who knelt on one knee before Di Lun:
“Lord of the City! We successfully made contact with an informant inside Deya City. According to the intelligence provided, we preliminarily estimate that the Church of the Goddess of Life fought a powerful demon. The Ninth Saintess was injured in the battle and is currently recuperating in the cathedral.”
“The Ninth Saintess is injured?!”
Di Lun was startled, but quickly calmed down. Fortunately, she was only injured and not dead.
If the Ninth Saintess had died, all his efforts up to now would have been in vain!
Based on Roland’s intelligence, Di Lun guessed that the Ninth Saintess would be key to Wangsheng City’s further expansion of influence and power.
Therefore, he could not afford any mistakes!
“The Ninth Saintess is injured? Is that true?”
From the luxurious carriage behind Di Lun, a girl in expensive attire with blue-pink gradient hair tied in a complex hairstyle poked her head out:
“Father, what if the Ninth Saintess is injured and cannot meet with us?”
“There’s no need to worry. With the Goddess of Life, the Ninth Saintess’s injuries won’t be so severe as to prevent her from meeting us. We should respect the abilities of the gods. Instead, we can take advantage of this opportunity while the Ninth Saintess is injured…”
Di Lun turned to look at his daughter, a glint of calculation in his deep-set eyes:
“Di Lisha, do you remember the purpose of me bringing you here?”
“I remember. I am to use my status as a peer to try to get close to the naive Ninth Saintess and gain her trust!”
“Good. And now is the perfect opportunity for you to gain her trust! Showing care when she is at her weakest is far more valuable than flattering her on ordinary days.”
“I see…” Di Lisha nodded thoughtfully.
“I understand, Father.”
“Good. Then next…” Di Lun looked at the scout before him again:
“We cannot delay any longer. Take some people to assess the security risk in Deya City. If there are no problems, immediately fire a green flare and have the convoy depart at once!”
“Yes, Lord of the City!”
……
Demon Lord’s Castle, Sin Hall.
To humans, the name “Sin Hall” was all too familiar.
The ultimate battlefield where generations of heroes had campaigned against the Demon King was right here.
If cleared of clutter, the Sin Hall would be a perfect dueling arena.
However, on normal days, the Sin Hall served as an administrative center for handling affairs throughout the Demon Realm.
The demon corporate slaves had to deal with all sorts of miscellaneous tasks here every day, often working overtime until dawn, and without overtime pay—truly ‘sinful.’
In the core area of the Sin Hall, Omili was sitting at an obsidian desk. In front of her sat a fat, bloated man and a thin, insect-like dwarf.
They were two of the Three Primordial Demons under the Demon God’s Seat: Gluttony Demon Qiduo and Plague Demon Tike!
On the left, Qiduo looked like a rotting mountain of flesh, his triple-stacked chin completely hiding his neck.
On the right, Tike exuded a foul stench and had a particularly eerie appearance.
“Listen. The thing I’m about to tell you… don’t be scared!” Omili said with a tense expression.
She had originally thought she could have a pleasant conversation with Night Bat, but unexpectedly Night Bat was completely spooked, refusing to believe such a thing as a King Rank Demon existed in this world, and ultimately thought Omili was joking.
Having no choice, Omili went to try the other two Primordial Demons.
Unlike the Primordial Demons under Ross, the three Primordial Demons under the Demon God’s Seat were not as hostile to the gods.
“We are Primordial Demons. We’re not afraid. Just say it.” Qiduo’s voice came out squeezed through his fat vocal cords, implying that they had seen all kinds of storms.
So Omili straightened up, leaned back, and said seriously, “Just now, on the Dea Plateau, I was bullied by a King Rank Blood Demon!”
“Which one is Wang Jie?” Plague Demon Tike stretched out half his neck and asked hoarsely.
“Not a person. It’s King Rank! A King Rank Blood Demon!”
“Is it a place name? A Blood Demon from ‘Bend Street’?” Gluttony Demon Qiduo asked.
“No! I mean rank. The King Rank of the tenth and eleventh tier!”
“Oh——” The two Primordial Demons made sounds of understanding. Qiduo continued:
“Got it. Go on.”
“It kept slapping my face and called me a lolicon—who doesn’t know that? Then it tried to kidnap my Saintess, right near Deya City. The entire area was covered by that demon’s domain! Domain!”
Omili became more and more agitated, her hands moving as she spoke:
“It was so huge, covering the entire Deya City! Then I released my Space Domain, enchanted my hands, and with a slash, kuā! Then… I escaped into that Shadow Space. I was thinking…”
Pfft…
Suddenly, Plague Demon Tike burst into laughter, interrupting Omili’s description. The scene fell into silence.
After a long moment, Omili asked coldly:
“What are you laughing at?”
“I remembered something happy.”
“What happy thing?”
“I recently created a new plague that makes human men lose their dicks and human women grow dicks. Hahahaha…” Tike laughed to himself.
“Haha!” Gluttony Demon Qiduo also laughed quietly.
Omili tilted her head and looked at Qiduo:
“What are you laughing at?”
“The thought of women with dicks makes me laugh. Hahaha…”
“What the hell!” Omili slammed the table angrily:
“I repeat: I am not joking!”
“Hahaha, yeah, yeah, yeah…”
“Hey!”
“Ahem!” Both demons immediately straightened their faces. The latter asked:
“Hey, let’s get back on track. Um, that Blood Demon you mentioned—was it strong?”
“It was incredibly strong! Even the Godde… uh, I can’t say about Lady Goddess. So strong that even I couldn’t defeat it with all my strength! It’s really the kind of… the kind you rarely see…”
Pfft… Qiduo couldn’t help laughing again.
“You’ve gone too far! I’ve tolerated you long enough!” Omili pointed at Qiduo and cursed.
“I was just thinking about women with dicks.”
“You’re clearly laughing at me! You haven’t stopped!”
“Hey~” Tike hurriedly interjected:
“Miss Omili, we have received strict training. No matter how funny something is, we won’t laugh, unless… Hahahaha!”
“How about this, Miss Omili.” Qiduo suddenly said seriously:
“You go back and wait for news. As soon as we have information about that Blood Demon, we’ll notify you immediately.”
“Fine. Go check it out quickly, okay? It’s dangerous, so remember to bring more people.” With that, Omili sighed and teleported away from the Sin Hall.
The next second, the Sin Hall echoed with the hearty laughter of the two Primordial Demons:
“Hahahaha!”
“That Omili… if you can’t win, you can’t win. But saying she met a King Rank Blood Demon? I’ve even seen a flying dog!”
Everyone knew that all demons’ ranks were locked at the ninth tier.
Level 9 was an insurmountable mountain for all demons.
Yet now Omili said she encountered a King Rank Demon. Did she take us for fools?
“We’re all at rank nine. It’s no shame to lose a fight. But stubbornly insisting like that is no good…”
Meanwhile, high above the Sin Hall, the Blood Demon Night Bat was hanging in the shadows, watching Omili’s entire departure from start to finish.
It seemed that Qiduo and Tike didn’t believe Omili’s words either…
Night Bat was the same. It would rather believe in flying dogs than believe there was a real King Rank Blood Demon in the world.
But Omili wasn’t the type to lie… Maybe she was just overly protective.
“Maybe Omili made a mistake?”
Vwoom—Suddenly, Omili teleported back, her face stern as she coldly stared at the two Primordial Demons who were still laughing uncontrollably.
Even after teleporting outside the Demon Lord’s Castle, she could still hear their raucous laughter!
The two Primordial Demons immediately sat back in their seats. Tike asked:
“Miss Omili, do you have anything to add?”
“Tsk.” Omili rolled her eyes and said nothing more. Forget it, she would go back and report to Lady Goddess that the Demon King’s Castle was unreliable.
With another Vwoom, Omili vanished instantly. Immediately after, the laughter of the two Primordial Demons once again filled the entire Sin Hall:
“Hahahaha…”
