The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 332: Chapter 281: Desperate Situation, the Demon Kings Appear (Part 2)

"But what on earth does ’the level difference between both sides is too huge’ mean?"

Dad is indeed a formidable 999-level near god, but no matter how strong, he’s still human. You say the level difference is huge, fine, but how big can the difference in tiers be? Isn’t it just novice tier—Knight Tier—Saint Tier—Demigod?

How many tiers is that? How huge can it be? Could he really be a god? freewēbnoveℓ.com

We’re surely not gods ourselves, right? Haha...

The two little ones shook their heads cluelessly as they stroked a cat, while on the other side, Lynn was about to explode from "luckily" to "fortunately" and then to "oh no!"

He was constantly monitoring his own state, already at level 999 (level 995)!

In a minute at most! He’d have to wave goodbye to his wife, children, cats, and birds!

The Demon God’s heartlessness is brutal; sending his own race to be sacrificed without batting an eye, all to send him to ascend, while the nearby Demon Dragon Emperor below was drooling helplessly!

What the heck should I do about this?

Lynn could only watch helplessly as the Demon Race continued to explode before him, unable even to dismiss his protective fighting spirit, since, unlike in reality, where he had a thick health bar, any explosion injury here would be real. While he could drink potions for recovery, his Red Medicine couldn’t possibly suffice—restoration would take at least one hundred thousand doses...

Level 999 (level 996).

...

Level 999 (level 997).

The clueless Divine Protection Continent coalition watched as the Demon Race blindly burned their lives to barely dent Lord Lynn’s protective fighting spirit, seeing their numbers visibly dwindling, and a sense of grand victory began to swell within everyone’s hearts.

Hmph, even with the Demon God aiding them with demonic signs, the Demon Race was still no match for Lord Lynn. This is what it means to be the greatest person in history, isn’t it?

Only Lynn’s wives were faintly worried, confident that Lynn wouldn’t suffer any losses given his strength, but concerned unexpected misfortune might arise even if he held all the advantages...

Level 999 (level 998).

At this moment, Lynn shook his head with a bitter smile. There was no solution, as his current power couldn’t combat the Power of the Demon God, and even if he stood still, the red-eyed Demons would charge at him aggressively.

The only hope was that a deity from the Pantheon might intervene; not needing to do much, just break that damn repelling barrier or purify these red-eyed irrational Demons would suffice.

But Lynn had no time to wait, nor any way to wait, knowing full well that the deities of the Pantheon and the Demons of the Upper Demon Realm shared a common goal: his ascension to godhood.

Helena’s Ancestral God blessing at her ascension and Xiya’s gift when she became the Holy Goddess Envoy bear clear testament to this.

Level 999 (level 999)!

Lynn remained silent; he hadn’t yet made adequate preparations and was now to ascend to divinity hastily.

Heaven knows what awaits him in the Divine Realm. Seeing the eagerness of the gods and demon gods, there surely couldn’t be anything good about it.

The last words of the Demon Dragon Emperor lingered. It so desperately wanted to become a god, and upon achieving it, changed its stance in an instant...well, its fate changed instantly. Though its last words were unclear, the warning "don’t become a god" stood sharply resonant.

"Wives, remember my words, I..."

In that final moment, Lynn reluctantly took out the Divine Oracle Leaf he got from Elf Queen Hilvy, his wife. This item was said to cancel out a Single Divine Attraction Light instance, but Lynn didn’t completely trust the deities, even if the Goddess of Nature and Life hadn’t strongly pulled him into godhood last time.

He couldn’t pin all his hopes on this leaf, so the necessary farewell...er, words of farewell needed to be said.

"Wives, I..."

I’m in... ×7!

Hmm??!

A bewildered Lynn raised his head, while those prepared to hear Lord Lynn’s pre-victory speech were shocked as they looked toward the horizon.

In the distance, now visible, a pitch-black sky loomed ominously.

Including the eight Saint Emperors and Lynn’s wives, who collectively advanced to the 800 Peak Saint Tier level, the entire Divine Protection Continent coalition was plunged into uncontrollable terror.

One, two, three, four...

Seven overwhelming and terrifying demonic presences swept over them, making even the Eight Saint Emperors, who had witnessed the pinnacle of the Demon War, shiver uncontrollably.

"These are...the Seven Demon Kings!"

"Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Lust...that’s the taste, oh my god, how could they be more terrifying than the previous generation of Demon Kings?!"

The Divine Protection’s Eight Saint Emperors had seen the peak of the Seven Demon Kings, and they were terrifying beings topping 950-levels, known for their ability to brutally crush 980-level top-tier experts, making them undoubtedly the kings among demons!

Though they had memory lapses concerning Lord Lynn, they could scarcely forget the God-Demon War they personally experienced.

They just didn’t remember who killed the Demon Dragon Emperor, but they retained a lot about the divine intervention that led them to victory, especially supplemented by the Giant Dragon Saint Emperor’s recollections.

That God-Demon War, in which Lord Lynn vanquished the Demon Dragon Emperor, was key to victory, but the many divine soldiers and divine generals who fought bloodily against the other demon powerhouses played crucial roles, too.

The seven invincible Demon Kings rampaging on the battlefield, and a large group of 900-level demigod Divine Generals all perishing to clear additional obstacles for Lord Lynn.

It seems there was also involvement from Lord Lynn, just barely overcoming the Demon Dragon Emperor.

That battle nearly shattered the heavens and earth, leaving not a single divine soldier or general under Lord Lynn, but they finally won.

Now, the new seven Demon Kings appeared on the Divine Protection Continent—all surpassing their predecessors and conservatively estimated at over level 960.

Though the enemy had lost their invincible near-god Demon Dragon Emperor, seven new virtually invincible Demon Kings had arrived, and on the Divine Protection side, only Lynn remained as an invincible near god; their legions of demigod Divine Generals were nowhere to be found...

Besides Lord Lynn, the second strongest might be Helena the Empress and Natasha, combined on par with the 850 Peak Great Demon, possibly more, but surely no match for demigod demons.

With seven terrifyingly powerful Demon Kings beyond level 960 that could engage in higher-tier battles on the opposite side, we have one invincible near god and the rest as cheerleaders...

It’s hard to say, feels like we might not stand a chance...

They might not best Lord Lynn, but even if six Demon Kings engaged him, the remaining one could slay them all.

Even if they couldn’t slaughter millions of troops, Lord Lynn’s wives and the eight Saint Emperors were certainly at risk of being targeted one by one...

As the Divine Protection was paralyzed with fear, Lynn forced down his excitement and quickly brought his seven Demon King wives into the group.

The barrier crafted by the Demon God’s power held no defenses against the Demon King wives; in fact, it couldn’t repel such authentic, pure Demon Kings.

Before so many people, Lynn wasn’t at liberty to cozy up to his Demon King wives and couldn’t even engage in friendly exchanges, only pretending to put on a stern face watching them, secretly distributing the Demon God’s gifted experience points to them.

That trans-boundary striking Demon God clearly had no means to terminate the process immediately and could only watch helplessly as nearly ten million Demons turned into pure power, yet unable to push Lynn, holding dual occupations at level 999, any further.

"Your Majesty, the Miracle Saint Emperor, a pleasure to meet you for the first time. May we not disturb you."

The seven Demon King sisters made a dazzling entrance, all donning their individual Demon King’s Armor, maxing their combat effectiveness, yet cloaked in black coats and hoods, obscuring their appearances.

The one in the center stepped forward, representing the seven Demon King sisters, and initiated communication with Lynn.

Lynn didn’t need to see her face to recognize her: it was his wife Ilya, the Proud Demon King, who was haughty but not arrogant.
