Chapter 161: Get Back Here!
Chapter 161: Get Back Here!
As the Great Demon drew their last breath, things outside the Golden Hall were finally settled.
All the Demon Race elites who came with Grand Duke Gutts met their demise, without exception, even Gutts himself didn’t escape the fate.
In the past year, this was the first demigod from the Demon Realm to fall. Although several demigods and even the Near God Demon Dragon Emperor fell simultaneously a year ago, in normal times, it is rare for demigods in the Demon Race to fall, as they stand atop the mountain peak of power.
Now, excluding the Demon Emperor, there’s only Leonard left as the sole demigod in the entire Demon Realm. The once invincible Demon Race’s signs of recovery have again been mercilessly extinguished.
But it was the current Demon Emperor who crushed the rising momentum of the Demon Race, what words can the demons possibly say.
"Ilya, check the number of demons now, see if there’s any fish that slipped through the net."
Lynn sheathed the Giant Axe and walked in from outside the hall, every step he took seemed to tread on the hearts of the present Demon Race elites, as though he could control their heartbeat.
"None left, excluding those in the Miracle World, all demons who received the Demon Emperor’s decree are present, without any omissions."
Ilya immediately reported to Lynn upon hearing this. She had already counted all the demon members, including those who became corpses, all demons supposed to be here are here, not all demons are as suicidal as Gutts.
Even with dissatisfaction towards the new Demon Emperor, they’re at least curious about who is to become the Demon Emperor, demons are bound to come.
"That’s good, saves us the trouble."
Lynn walked to the Throne and sat down, overlooking all the Demon Race elites below, including the Seven Great Demon Kings, he let out a soft breath.
It seems this Demon Emperor is quite indolent, somewhat afraid of hassle, solving problems in one go let him breathe a sigh of relief... thought all the demons.
"Hmm, after a busy period, finally some spoils of war, these are for you."
Sitting on the Throne, Lynn pondered for a moment, took out three treasures obtained from Gutts’ son, and sent them with Magic Power to the three Demon Kings.
Proud Demon King, Gluttonous Demon King, and Lust Demon King were a bit stunned upon receiving gifts, they didn’t expect Lynn to be this generous, although artifacts of this level shouldn’t affect someone of near-god level like him, but exchanging them for Gold Coins would surely make Greed Demon King willingly present themselves for such vast wealth, yet he simply decided to give demons these gifts.
Indeed, before Ilya and the three Demon Kings could accept the gifts, Greed Demon King blushed and threw several coquettish glances at Lynn on the Throne, those eyes seemed to speak freely to Lynn...
Why not gift me three as well, after gifting me we’ll be yours~~
But Lynn ignored this, although he had plenty of Divine Artifacts in his ring, he had few Demon Artifacts, how could he give them just because she asked, he wasn’t a pushover.
Moreover, besides Greed Demon King eagerly watching him at this moment, another Demon King was staring at him stubbornly.
Envious Demon King was jealous beyond measure seeing three sisters receiving gifts from Lynn while she didn’t, her eyes were almost burning with envy.
Unlike Greed Demon King lusting for treasures, she wasn’t mad for them; truth be told, she had them in her vault. She simply couldn’t tolerate other Demon Kings having things she didn’t.
If Lynn distributed evenly, Envious Demon King might be easiest to deal with. If not, she might be the most troublesome Demon King.
"Why are you looking at me? Want my treasures? Follow me to the palace later, I’ll not only show you, but you can also play with them for a while..."
Greed Demon King and Envious Demon King’s reactions were due to their nature, unrelated to any planned discussions. Seeing them nearly forget about the business due to greed and envy, Lynn hurriedly opened his mouth to correct them.
"Can I join you?"
Gluttonous Demon King raised her hand laughingly, she had been following Lust sister for a long time, obviously understanding Lynn’s risque words. She really wanted to taste Lynn, his Demon Intent outbreak earlier was enticing, even better than leftovers from sisters, little Betty could hardly resist!
"Get back!" ×6.
Six Demon Kings simultaneously shouted at Gluttonous Demon King Betty, her antics forced Greed and Envious Demon Kings to lower their flags and halt.
"Ahem, let’s talk business, now that I have the demon emperor’s power, what I lack is the title. I, Illidan Stormrage, am going to ascend as the new emperor of the Demon Race. Any different thoughts from those present?"
Lynn pressed down gently, calming the Demon Kings’ fussing, then lightly coughed twice and questioned all the Demon Race elites present.
Even a demigod died opposing you, what kind of opinion could we possibly have!
The Demon Race elites dared think but dared not speak, fearing they’d be physically eliminated by this Demon Emperor. Though most demons display bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield, that’s for their race and self-benefit, as they become stronger through slaughter and destruction.
But opposing the Demon Emperor is different, it offers no benefits while risking life, only fools would do such things, even the stupidest demon wouldn’t be this moronic.
If before Grand Duke Gutts’ death, perhaps some daring demons dared probe, but the falling of a demigod, all demons lost hope.
No chance against him, absolutely no chance! There’s no need to gamble with life, the Demon Emperor might be wishing for them to court death.
Didn’t you see he tidily collected those "rebels" storage equipment after cutting them?
This is a true and fitting Demon Emperor, possessing all Seven Great Demon Intentions. No inappropriate comments should be made, tempting his anger and greed.
Thus, gathered heavily in the hall, the Demon Race elites unanimously shook their heads, indicating no other thoughts, the Demon Emperor’s ideas were their ideas...
"If there are no differing opinions, then the emperor’s coronation ceremony will be held three days later, all high-tier demons must participate, no absences. Missing demons will see slaves dig Gutts’ family pit larger for them."
Lynn’s voice echoed in the Golden Hall, all Demon Race elites nodded repeatedly, declaring they would definitely come congratulate the new emperor’s coronation. Some quick-thinking ones even began considering what valuable gifts to prepare.
After all, it’s a new emperor’s ascension, no deceiving talk of humanity’s ’gift light but sentiment deep’ should be believed. They must offer the most treasured items, knowing the Demon Emperor with all Seven Great Demon Intentions surely has a naturally petty nature...
