The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 198: The Demon Kings Gather

Seven Joyful Witches, plus five Demon Kings, in exchange for being enemies with 265 Demon King-level powerhouses.

Honestly, it’s a huge loss, but Lynn was really tempted.

Not for anything else, but because he had seen all five of these Demon Kings, and they were top-notch witches, flawless and perfect.

But as Santa Claus said, I want them all!

Since there’s a chance to go all the way, why leave them a bit? Do I, Lynn, seem like someone who is easily satisfied?

"Add two more, and I’ll forgive your deception and offer my full support."

Lynn stood at the entrance to the space channel, turning to say to the conflicted-looking Ilya.

The Proud Demon King, who had previously shown no courtesy when asking for help, was now deeply troubled. She had expected Lynn’s appetite to be big, but not this big.

It’s all because he’s so picky; anything touched by other demons he doesn’t want. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a problem to gather a harem of three thousand beauties for him.

"Betty is still too young, and Phantom has a fear and disdain for men. It’s truly inconvenient. Please, my Lord Demon Emperor, spare them..."

Hearing Lynn’s condition of not sparing even one, Ilya frowned tightly but refused to give in.

The last two sisters left were not only inconvenient, they were her bottom line. If such a line were easily crossed, wouldn’t Lynn be able to demand endlessly from them in the future?

"Actually, she’s not that young..."

"Shut up!"

The big loli tried to chime in but was angrily reprimanded by Ilya. This creature is truly clueless, stepping up to make suggestions when her sister is gritting her teeth to protect her.

"It’s inconvenient, huh?"

Lynn said, touching his chin as if he was considering something.

Ilya kept an eye on both Lynn and Betty, fearing they might suddenly say something shocking.

"Since you find it inconvenient, I also find it inconvenient. I have a home in the Miracle World, always running to the Demon Realm isn’t a solution, so forget it. You solve your problem yourself. I offer you great moral support! Good luck!"

After considering for about a minute, Lynn made his decision. Though he guessed Ilya’s words were truthful this time, with Betty visibly young and Phantom obviously timid, taking them all was his insistence. If a man can’t uphold his insistence, how can he accomplish great things?

"My Lord Demon Emperor..."

"No, don’t call me that; just call me Lynn. We’ve known each other for a while now, there’s some friendship there, just call me by my name. Goodbye, Ilya Murphy, goodbye Betty... uh, what’s your last name?"

As Lynn’s words fell, the big loli replied with hands on her hips, "Betty Russell," and watched as Lynn stepped into the space channel without taking the Demon Mirror Ilya had given him.

"Ah! He really left!"

"..."

The big loli exclaimed, while Ilya was at a loss for words.

Without the Demon Mirror, Lynn can’t return to the Demon Realm unless Ilya arranges someone to send it to him again. However, Celestial Destiny City presently has Light Judge activities, making delivery impossible.

Moreover, even if it could be sent, wouldn’t someone who rejected a gift toss aside what was thrown at them? Who has the strength to force Lynn to accept a gift?

"It’s all because of you! Big sister lacks courage! Don’t you understand sacrificing the children to catch the wolf? Do you think dealing with the Destruction Demon God’s kin is easy? Without Lynn, how do we fight them?"

Watching Lynn leave while the space channel slowly closed, then glancing at the Demon Mirror left on the table, the always loud big loli was on the verge of exploding.

"But... if sacrificing all of our sisters is the price for Lynn’s assistance, what would it matter if we surrendered to the Demon Dragon Emperor?"

Ilya gritted her teeth. In the instant Lynn left, she had reached out her hand, but the words to retain him did not come out.

What have these seven sisters been plotting for so long for? Just for Guardian Demon God to conquer the world?

No, it’s also for their freedom and future, and Lynn’s condition conveniently blocked their demands. Is it really worth it?

"How is it not different? The Demon Dragon Emperor isn’t appealing, but Lynn is very appealing..."

The big loli sniffed, as if savoring some delicious taste, even though she hadn’t tasted a bit.

"You stop it; Lynn left too hastily. I didn’t have time to consult my sisters’ opinions. Now it’s too late, but let’s call them together and discuss a strategy."

Due to the coronation, all seven Demon Kings were actually present at the Proud Palace; only Betty clung most to the magic, so she came to sleep with Ilya, while the other Demon Kings had their own residences, not crowding together.

But now crowding is necessary; the coronation is about to begin, yet the Demon Emperor-to-be has bolted.

How to handle the incoming and observing Demon Race elites is a minor issue; without Lynn’s backing, how they will tackle everything ahead is the real challenge.

Shocked by such major events, all the Demon Kings raced over, even the Sloth Demon King was only three minutes late, an event worthy of historical record.

"What’s wrong with you all? You let such a big living person slip away?"

Upon entrance, Furious Demon King Sara Viktor yelled aggressively, nearly exploding with anger. Here were a big sister and little Betty, two absolute beauties, yet they let a wolf run off; what were they doing?

"Why not satisfy his conditions? I’ve said before, to deal with greedy people, you should fill them up once and for all, preventing future trouble. You wouldn’t listen, claiming I was projecting."

Greed Demon King Liss Modor followed closely behind, though not shouting out curses, she did criticize both big sister and little Betty for handling things poorly, not listening to the crowd’s opinions.

"Alright, now’s not the time for infighting. Let’s figure out a way; bringing Lynn back is what’s most important."

Lust Demon King’s Phantom: Triss immediately tried to mediate upon seeing such a situation. She didn’t want external foes unsettled, and everyone fighting internally, amidst external and internal crises already difficult, shouldn’t expand conflicts further.

"You speak easily; big sister couldn’t meet Lynn’s conditions because of you, little Betty would give herself willingly, without our interference. I think it’s all your fault!"

Envious Demon King Aya Aya got angry upon seeing Lust sister mediating, clearly among the sisters, she was the most beautiful, yet completely failed to utilize her advantages, instead burdening them. How did such incompetence earn the most affection from the sisters!

"What can I do? It’s a natural flaw, not something I’m pretending..."

Being criticized by Envious sister, Phantom was momentarily flustered. She knew Envious sister’s words hit the mark; the blame mainly lay with her.

Unable to fulfill Lynn’s conditions was her fault.

It was her who initially proposed concealing things from him...
