Chapter 201: Taken Down
Chapter 201: Taken Down
When the Seven Great Demon Kings gathered and discussed strategies earlier, Lynn stood inside the spatial portal, pinching the last thread of the spatial rift to prevent it from closing completely.
Though in doing so, he had to endure the chaotic spatial currents that surged from all directions once the default crossing was complete, Lynn didn’t care.
With a big red candy in his mouth, he sucked on it little by little. The harm caused by these spatial currents wasn’t as fast as his recovery rate.
As long as it wasn’t a fatal blow, Lynn wasn’t afraid. That’s the nature of a player.
He was hiding in the void of Ilya’s bedchamber, so he heard everything they said just now. It was just that due to the fine space rift, he couldn’t see the scene on the other side, but he could imagine it, and it didn’t greatly affect him.
Now, Lynn was called out blatantly by the Demon, confirming that the other side wasn’t just casually bluffing to get him out, and Lynn had no choice but to honestly tear open the space and come out.
Since one of them was already asleep, it wouldn’t be polite to hide any longer, especially when they dispersed and Ilya undressed for bed.
So out he came, as if nothing happened; why not just restart the negotiations?
As expected, the Demon as the Demon King has the grandeur of a Demon King, with none arguing over these idle matters, and Ilya as the representative of the Demon Kings immediately started formal negotiations.
"Ahem, uh, 14 large and small wives in exchange for 265 Demon King-level opponents, to be honest, I feel quite at a loss."
Lynn stood firm, cleared his throat, then walked to the sleeping Sloth Demon King and sat down, lightly tapping the table with his fingers, seemingly nonchalantly speaking.
"But this is already the highest price we can offer. You’ve declined the other Enchanting Demons, and as for those other Witches, not to be rude, compared to us seven sisters, they’re all common mundane powder, unworthy of being our sister poles."
The Greed Demon King, as the second most authoritative among the Seven Great Demon Kings, had to timely offer support, not to mention this was indeed an exceedingly high price. Anymore, it wouldn’t be possible without moving her treasury and private stash. That would rather warrant more playthings!
"Greed Demon King, don’t rush. I don’t intend to make exorbitant demands. I’m genuinely at a loss, but considering the Demon King wives don’t have it easy, I accept this silent loss! Let’s go with your terms, seven Joyful Witches to me, and also all seven of you, as for those so-called Demon King strongmen, I’ll deal with them!"
Lynn lifted a hand and pressed it down, soothing the Greed Demon King and the Furious Demon King who was about to lose patience.
He didn’t wish to propose new conditions. Although the Demon Realm is vast and surely there’s more beauties than these fourteen, if he truly wanted more, he could pry some over, but frankly, there’s no need.
He doesn’t even have emotional foundations with these agreed Demon Princess wives and Demon King wives; just developing relationships with them will deplete his mind and energy, any more greed would make him a stud horse.
If he were someone who only pursued numbers, then he couldn’t spoil the entire great Miracle World even if he wandered until death; why bother coming to the Demon Realm anyway.
As for why he insists on having the Seven Great Demon Kings, that’s absolutely... um, not just because of lust, not just because they’re unparalleled in beauty, the main reason is he desires absolute stability in the Demon Realm. No method is more solid than becoming Demon Emperor, then bringing all Seven Great Demon Kings into his harem.
This was the plan of the Demon Dragon Emperor, and now the new fake Demon Dragon Emperor feels it can be fully executed.
He and the Demon Dragon Emperor essentially have no major differences; both are powerful, both are Near God entities, both are lustful, both want total acquisition...
The only difference might be that it died and he’s alive.
But this sole difference will soon not be singular, because they now have a new difference, which is it died with its plans failing, while he achieved great success.
Still, he must properly thank the Demon Dragon Emperor for laying the foundation. If it wasn’t for it selecting these seven marvelous Witches as potential Demon Kings, if it hadn’t died while ascending to godhood, such a fortune surely wouldn’t be his to have now.
Decided! In the future, he won’t adopt any new Demon Emperor titles; he’ll still be called Demon Dragon Emperor! He’s the new emperor inheriting the legacy of the Late Emperor!
Your throne to me, your Demon Emperor Palace to me, your Demon Realm to me, and your harem... uh, you can take if you want, I don’t want it.
However, now these Seven Great Demon Kings, they’re pre-chosen wives with you, right?
Since they’re fiancées, they’re not yours, they’re mine!
Henceforth, we’ll call each other bros; you’re Green Turtle, I’m Green Man King, we’re of the same rank.
Meanwhile, Lynn was musing these various thoughts in his mind, while on the other side, hearing Lynn hadn’t added new conditions, the six Demon Kings simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it’s a severe loss, but anyway, they finally secured the Demon Emperor.
Next, they have to give their all to stabilize him, cannot allow any turmoil, else they genuinely have nothing more to offer.
They just hope Lynn won’t be as insatiable as Liss, contented with these Demon Kings and Witches will do.
"Since it’s all settled, let’s proceed with the coronation ceremony immediately; Shanghai has already gathered, just waiting for your appearance, Demon Emperor."
Greed Demon King Liss took a calming breath, beaming toward Lynn.
These past days, they’ve meticulously prepared every aspect of the coronation ceremony, just awaiting the main figure’s arrival to instantly proceed.
Though it’s merely a ceremony, not affecting Lynn’s authority, since the Demon Race respects strength, yet a formal title isn’t something to overlook, just like the seven of them; if not seated on the Seven Great Demon Kings’ thrones, they’d likely have been consumed by the Demon.
Now... even while seated on the Demon King throne, they’d be consumed, but compared to those ambitious individuals or reckless types, Lynn is more easily acceptable.
Anyway, he’s handsome, fits the Demon Race aesthetics, extraordinary strength, modern-day undefeatable, abundant wealth, possesses the entire Demon Realm, and smells nice (Betty adds)...
In conclusion, yielding to Lynn for a distinctly different future isn’t a loss, unless he ultimately fails.
But, they won’t let him fail, because Lynn might afford defeat, he still has the Miracle World as a backup, but they can’t afford it, for there’s nothing behind them.
The Guardian Demon God won’t personally intervene since should it act, the Destruction Demon God will definitely not stand idly.
Once the two Demon God Kings neutralize each other, there’s nothing behind them.
Unless... Lynn is extremely reliable, able to push through everything, steadfastly supporting them.
