Free Web NovelChapter 334: Chapter 282: Terms and the Demon Emperor (Part 2)
You slaughtered countless of our ancestors back then, seized our continent, and now after occupying it for a long time, it’s become yours?
This is outrageous! Homeland is homeland, invasion is invasion, even a single blade of grass from the Divine Abandonment Continent belongs to the people of Miracle World! Not to the invaders!
"Does this make sense, does this make sense, does this make sense? You use our continent to trade for our continent, all without any cost to you, just forcefully taking from us, right?"
Although Lynn hasn’t figured out what kind of drama the Demon King’s wives are staging, and finds it inconvenient to ask, nor is there the condition to privately chat using the Demon Mirror, hearing Ilya propose such a trade, he couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
You use our territory to trade for our territory, and after trading, there’s still one-third of our territory in your hands, are you treating me like a fool?
"Since it’s a trade, the terms can certainly be discussed. If His Majesty the Miracle Saint Emperor disagrees with the conditions set by my Demon Race, then what terms do you think are appropriate?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Ilya, like a cold and ruthless iceberg Demon King, seemed to be following Cleia’s original character setup, having no concern for Lynn’s retort, and simply let him propose conditions.
"I think... Divine Protection Continent should return to us, Divine Abandonment Continent should also be returned, while you guys should be responsible for purifying Divine Abandonment Continent, then all Demon Race war criminals who invaded Miracle World should be handed over to us for disposal, and additionally, compensate with hundreds of billions of top-grade Demon Crystals and then pick seven Demon Kings as part of the compensation, that seems good to me."
Lynn’s speech was perfectly in line with his usual character setup, whether for his exterminating attitude towards enemy demons or his interest in seemingly beautiful female Demon Kings; it was a true representation of Lord Lynn, unchanging and genuine.
The allied forces of Divine Protection Continent got excited upon hearing this, regaining all lost territories, executing all invaders, receiving enormous war compensations, and even having the Seven Great Demon Kings marry over as concubines for His Majesty the Miracle Saint Emperor...
It makes a lot of sense! It makes perfect sense! Just this one, Mom, I want this one!
Even the Eight Saint Emperors couldn’t find a single fault, although they felt Lynn was a bit too greedy since there were only seven Demon Kings in total and he insisted on picking all seven as part of the compensation... Is this really a selection? Locals here usually call this package-taking.
Uh, compensation is using the compensation term, right? It can’t be using the companion term, right?
If the Seven Great Demon Kings can really be used as compensation, then you’ll be marrying His Majesty the Demon Emperor...
"I can represent the Demon Race and agree to return the Divine Protection Continent and also agree to hand over the Demon Race soldiers who invaded Miracle World for you to dispose of, when coming to war compensation, it can be paid at the highest sum of one hundred billion top-grade Demon Crystals, and additionally with a hundred billion Gold Coin or equivalent materials..."
For the conditions Lynn put forward in front of everyone, Ilya didn’t even have a process of consideration, she agreed to part of it on the spot, willing to even increase the compensation amount, providing extra compensation.
However, everyone was waiting for her to say "but", because no one would believe the Demon Race to be so agreeable, their ferocity and greed had penetrated deep into people’s hearts, if they were willing to agree to these few conditions, it meant they absolutely wouldn’t budge on the remaining conditions.
Indeed, the Proud Demon King only paused a bit before continuing——
"For the others, we won’t return Divine Abandonment Continent, won’t purify it, even ceding half a continent is impossible, as for compensating you with Demon Kings, sorry, we seven sisters are the new Imperial Consorts of His Majesty the great and powerful Near God Illidan Stormrage, if His Majesty the Miracle Saint Emperor has any fantasies towards us, feel free to seek His Majesty Illidan’s opinion."
The Proud Demon King’s words stunned everyone present.
The new Demon Emperor Illidan Stormrage?
Near... Near God!?
The position of Demon Emperor in the Demon Realm already has someone inheriting it? And also a 999-level Near God Demon Emperor?
Originally the presence of these Seven Great Demon Kings already made everyone feel they might not be able to win, but relying on Lynn’s invincibility, there still seemed to be a chance for battle.
But if the Demon Race still has an unpresented Near God Demon Emperor, then there’s absolutely no chance for a fight...
No wonder the appearance of these Seven Great Demon Kings seemed somewhat casual, lacking in aura.
Turns out it’s not that they don’t care for grand entrances, but that they themselves are the spectacle, they’re not the main characters at all.
Somehow, the Eight Saint Emperors and the forces of Divine Protection Continent all started to feel cold sweat breaking out, only those, like Vivian, who had an immense trust for Lynn remained not panicked.
"Illidan..."
Upon hearing this, Lynn seemed to be in deep thought but was basically scratching his head, if he were to ask His Majesty Illidan’s opinion, it’d be a given, yes, everything can be given, Illidan is just a pseudonym anyway, you seven sisters are basically my wives, Lynn thought.
Of course, it was one thing to think, but he definitely couldn’t say it aloud, couldn’t admit he was Illidan, nor could he acknowledge knowing Illidan.
"Demon Emperor, huh? Well, coincidentally, I killed one before. You bring that Illidan out for me to compare notes with, if he can beat me, then I’ll abandon Divine Abandonment Continent too, and won’t obsess over any beautiful Demon Kings anymore!"
Precisely because Lynn knew Ilya and the others definitely couldn’t bring out Illidan, he could extremely strongly express his stance, partly for the people of Divine Protection Continent to see, and partly to remind the Demon King wives to pull back, not fall too deep into the role.
He wasn’t meeting them for the first time, these seven wouldn’t have any interest in Divine Abandonment Continent, their thoughts were all on the main Demon Realm and the Guardian Demon God, although he didn’t know why they crossed realms, but right in front of him, all it took was a couple words and they’d understand.
Don’t mess around, Divine Protection Continent and Divine Abandonment Continent I really want back, you guys didn’t actually want them anyway, holding them has no real use, going through the motions appropriately, hesitating a bit, and then concede.
"His Majesty the Illidan Demon Emperor is traveling abroad and hasn’t returned, thus unable to spar with His Majesty the Miracle Saint Emperor... but our race isn’t limited to just him as a Near God, if His Majesty the Miracle Saint Emperor insists on not backing down, then we can only ask Her Majesty the Dragon Mother to negotiate with you."
This time, as Ilya’s proud voice fell, not only was everyone present shocked, even Lynn himself was astonished.
But before he could secretly give Ilya a questioning look, the distant horizon suddenly fell into an apocalypse-like scene.
The sun stained with blood, descending with the night sky, everything within a radius of thousands turned silent in destruction, a gray color of desolation covered all, the fierce wind burned faces through an unseeable distance, with a bloody scent in the wind making people feel nauseous.
Looking far into the distance, one could see layers of clouds capable of covering the entire snow valley, within the clouds was the extremely violent thunderstorm, a terrifying magical silhouette, chilling at first sight, was shuttling through the thunderclouds.
Clearly still separated by a long distance, only the bloody wind was felt face-on, not a single shadow of blood rain seen, yet despair arose in everyone’s hearts, as if should the magical silhouette wish it, all life here would escape death’s grasp.
The terrifying pressure transmitted from afar made Lynn’s Peak Saint Tier wife group and Eight Saint Emperors all feel breathless, even the Divine Artifacts or weapons in their hands felt unstable, even if they could muster courage, gritting teeth against pressure for a desperate fight, they’d only be able to perform at seventy percent of normal condition.
No need for casting spells, not even showing up, it directly bowed the seven to eight hundred level side’s combat power, cutting fighting strength severely, such terrifying pressure, Lynn hadn’t seen even in Demon Dragon Emperor, of course, he only saw Demon Dragon Emperor once, as it flooded with frenzy, not having seen is reasonable.
Yet personally, or post ascension to Demon Emperor, the maximal Demon Emperor pressure only reached this level, one could only imagine how terrifyingly fearsome this magical silhouette was.
