The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 86: Proud Demon King Ilya

"The proud Demon King, head of the Seven Great Demon Kings, has truly fallen to the point where a girl can seize the high position. The Demon Race has truly declined."

Lynn was not surprised by the Demon Mirror’s ability to communicate across dimensions, maybe because he was used to video calls in the real world.

However, he had some opinions about the Proud Demon King’s "salute" to him, because she was too much like the former Proud Demon King who had died at his hands several times.

Obviously just a character who got stabbed to death, yet her eyes seemed to grow on her forehead, and her tone of speech was irritating, making one want to pin her on the table and teach her a lesson.

"Because you killed the Demon Dragon Emperor, there are no full-level Demon Race warriors in the Lower Demon Realm, and because the Demon top-tier battle power was slaughtered in the divine-demon showdown, decline is inevitable... But I do not think I am seizing the throne. There’s no demon more suited for the Proud Throne than me."

Faced with Lynn’s teasing, Proud Demon King Ilya did not even blush, or maybe she did, but the mask covered it so he couldn’t see.

She had no objections to the decline of the Demon Race, but her born arrogance made her believe that inheriting the Proud Throne was rightful, and the idea of seizing it did not exist.

"Okay, you used cross-dimensional contact methods to talk with me, probably not to prove you’re worthy of the Demon King position, right? Just say what you want directly; no need to find a topic before cutting in."

Since there was a "screen" in between, and the face that might dazzle him was covered, Lynn didn’t have any extra interest in this not-so-polite Demon Race girl. If she didn’t talk about business directly, he would hang up.

"I invite you to the Demon Realm to hold your station, to clear the fanatic followers of the Destruction Demon God and suppress ordinary believers of the Destruction Demon God. This is not difficult for you, and the benefits are enormous; it could directly end the war between the Miracle World and the Demon Realm."

Having been told to speak directly, she indeed spoke directly, seeming like a straightforward demon, only her annoying tone still grated as a Demon King, facing a Demon Emperor, without using the word "you." Compared to Xiya and Helena, she was far inferior.

"If it’s just that, do I need to go to the Demon Realm? I can fight on the front line and pierce the Demon Race; whether this war ends might depend on our Miracle World’s attitude, not on your Demon Realm."

Perhaps the Proud Demon King was too used to pride, unable to discern the situation. Though in terms of current strength, excluding Lynn, the Demon Race was still far stronger than the Miracle Alliance. But... why exclude him? Doesn’t he count as a person?

As long as he exists in the Miracle World, the balance of power reverses drastically. Why should he leave his role as Miracle Saint Emperor to go to the Demon Realm and become a dog speaker Demon Emperor?

In the Miracle World, he has the ability to solve the Demon Race threat. Is it worth risking himself to help them clear out heretics and truly control the Demon Realm?

"I know you have enough strength to wipe out the invading Demon Race legion in the Miracle World. But if you don’t uproot during weeding, the swept-away Demon Race might come again."

"Your Miracle World, though backed by the Divine Realm, those above the Pantheon won’t truly intervene to help you, while our Upper Demon Realm’s Demon Gods descend with demon mandates and miracles every century, helping the Lower Demon Realm grow stronger."

"For the past five hundred years, gifts from the Upper Demon Realm were devoured ninety percent by the Demon Dragon Emperor alone, which allowed rapid advancement to the world rule’s highest limit. But going forward, if you don’t help us guard the Guardian Demon God’s faction to control the Lower Demon Realm, then the Lower Demon Realm, still controlled by the Destruction Demon God’s faction, will sooner or later breed a second Demon Dragon Emperor, perhaps even two, three of Demon Emperor Level strong. Then, as the World-saving Hero, how would you respond?"

"Oh, by then, you might have already ascended the divine ladder into the Divine Realm. Whether the Miracle World is destroyed might no longer concern you then..."

Proud Demon King spoke many things passionately from the other side of the mirror. By the middle of her speech, Lynn had already started frowning, and as she finished speaking, Lynn was already resting his chin and deep in thought.

Though Ilya’s words were poorly spoken, lacking even a minuscule tone of begging, and even carrying hints of provocation and sarcasm, Lynn knew the character of the Proud Demon King, hence wasn’t particularly entangled with these; instead, he pondered the hints in her words.

Uprooting without removing the roots means it grows anew with the spring breeze.

The gods do not protect Miracle World...

Yes, such a sign existed for a long time now; after all, before Divine Protection Continent and Divine Providence Continent, there was the Divine Abandonment Continent that had fallen into ruin for countless ages.

On the contrary, Demon Gods were reinforcing the Demon Race, especially the Destruction Demon God’s faction. Lynn was unabashedly familiar with their fanatics, after fighting them for ten years.

"You... have somewhat persuaded me. How about adding a bit more incentive, maybe I’ll move from thought to action."

After pondering for a moment, Lynn looked at the Proud Demon King in the Demon Mirror, admitting he was somewhat swayed, but concerning his safety, the depth of the Demon Realm’s water was unknown to him. If it’s only for these reasons, perhaps it’s not worth taking the risk.

"Once things are done, the Demon Emperor’s position will still be yours, but all actual affairs will be managed by us seven sisters. You just become a supreme emperor, enjoying with witches, indulging every day in luxury and lust."

Proud Demon King maintained a cold face throughout, but as she spoke to this point, her expression showed slight changes, indicating a hint of doubt.

"Among the witches to be embraced... it cannot include you sisters, right?"

Lynn vaguely noticed the Proud Demon King’s micro expressions change, so he tried probing.

"Of course not!"

Proud Demon King said decisively.

"What do you mean, ’not’? Boss, you’ve been soaking for a long time, what are you hiding? Give me some!"

At this moment, a bold voice came through from the other side of the mirror, followed by the sound of a door opening, water splashing, and a subsequent cry of surprise.

"Boss, you actually secretly have a naked chat with a handsome guy! I’m going to tell Lust sister!"

The crisp and pleasant voice was clamoring over there, while Lynn saw that the image of Ilya alone was abruptly disrupted by a white jade-like arm reaching out, and then the video call was cut off, leaving Lynn to once again see his handsome face reflected in the Demon Mirror.

Simultaneously, in the Proud Palace of the Demon Realm, a stunningly beautiful Demon Race girl was wrestling with a large loli in a robe, both crazily reaching for the Demon Mirror above the bath, one trying desperately to prevent the other from grabbing it...
