Die, princess, the devil is mine!

The wind whipped up dark clouds, creating a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

Just below lies a vast expanse of white snow-capped mountains, and the stark contrast between black and white creates an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Under Lynn's furrowed brows, the demonic figure, shrouded in darkness, descended to within three steps of the Seven Demon Kings, standing proudly as the leader of all demons, directly opposite him.

Then the dark sky faded away, revealing a huge demonic figure that was six meters tall. It was a woman with a very masculine appearance. She was not beautiful, and her figure was very muscular. She also had a fierceness that could not be concealed.

However, what caught Lynn's attention the most was the dragon horn on her forehead, the same one that Ilya had given him.

“I am the ancient dragon Victory, the Holy Emperor of Miracles. You do not seem to be as powerful as I imagined.”

Once she revealed herself, Victor looked down at Lynn, who was radiating endless light, with disdain. That was the attribute she hated the most, and it was also the attribute that was naturally her nemesis.

In her original expectation, the Holy Emperor of Miracles, as the savior who saved the Divine Blessed Continent and fiercely slew the Demon Dragon Emperor on the battlefield, should have been incomparably powerful. But today, upon seeing him, she found that his aura was only that of a normal near-god, and he was not even as powerful as her.

"Ancient Demon Dragon... what is your relationship with the Demon Dragon Emperor?"

Lynn gripped the Holy Emperor's Sword tightly, tilting it slightly downwards. His surging battle aura was ready to be unleashed. Looking at the old woman opposite him, whose aura was terrifying and comparable to that of the Demon Dragon Emperor, he asked in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter. I don't even remember his name. He's just my daughter's father."

To possess such strength and to happen to be an ancient demonic dragon, if you were to say that this Victory has no relation to the Demonic Dragon Emperor, Lynn would never believe it even if he were beaten to death.

The dragon race is truly terrifying. Level 999 near-gods are produced in pairs. If we add this disguised new dragon emperor, then they would have three near-gods in their generation.

"Isn't that your husband? Are you the Dragon Queen?"

Lynn, sword in hand, dared not be careless in the slightest. No wonder his seven demon king wives acted without even saying hello to him. It turned out that they were not trying to put on a show, but that such a big change had occurred in the demon realm in the short time since he left.

Another level 999 near-god-level demonic dragon has appeared. This is even more troublesome than the return of the Purgatory Demon and the Underworld Demon races. After all, no matter how strong those two races are, they are only strong as a whole. He can deal with them as long as he goes all out.

However, the Victory before him was completely different. Her aura was no less powerful than that of the former Emperor of the Demon Dragon. If we were to judge her attributes alone, she would probably completely overwhelm him.

After all, he is a level 999 player that can be mass-produced in the setting, while Victory is the ultimate level super boss. Even if he is slightly inferior in terms of prestige compared to the world's ultimate boss, the Demon Dragon Emperor, he is not someone that a single player can easily challenge.

This is also why Victory stated immediately upon her arrival that Lynn was not as powerful as she had imagined.

"The Demon Dragon Queen? It's just borrowing his seed. Pure-blooded ancient demon dragons are too rare, and those that can grow to the level of near-gods are even rarer, appearing only once in ten thousand years. Divine Emperor, you don't need to worry. I won't hate you for killing the Demon Dragon Queen, after all, he's not important to me."

Victory clearly scoffed at the title of Demon Dragon Queen. That guy was nothing more than a mediocre talent trapped at level 999, unable to transcend. If he hadn't been lucky enough to become the Demon Emperor, he wouldn't have been a match for her at all based on his original strength.

"Alright, enough of this pointless chatter. Divine Emperor, the terms of the deal that the Arrogant Demon King offered were proposed by me. A little wealth and some trash are insignificant to my demon realm. All we want is the world. Originally, considering your achievement of slaying the Demon Dragon Emperor, I made many concessions and returned the Divine Protection Continent to you..."

"But after seeing it today, the legendary Holy Emperor of Miracles seems to be nothing special. So I advise you to accept the conditions I have set. Otherwise, I may not even be willing to give up the Divine Protection Continent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Victory stared intently at Lynn with eyes like lightning. A layer of crimson armor, flowing like volcanic lava, covered his entire body, and a jet-black greatsword at least five meters long was pointed at Lynn's head.

Under the lock of Qi, the Holy Emperor's Sword in Lynn's hand seemed to be provoked. Without Lynn injecting power, it burst out with a dazzling white light, not only pushing back the pressure of the dark heavy sword, but also leaving a white mark on its spine.

Upon seeing this, Victor frowned and suppressed some of his disdain.

The man who could slay the Demon Dragon Emperor was indeed quite capable. Although his aura was not as strong as hers and his physical attributes were probably inferior, he clearly had the upper hand in terms of weaponry and was not to be underestimated.

However, even the most powerful divine weapons depend on the user's skill level. Her true form is a powerful ancient demonic dragon, while the Divine Emperor is merely a human. Whether it's strength or endurance, she has an overwhelming advantage, enough to make up for the disadvantage in terms of weaponry.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from Victory, Lynn's heart sank.

He wasn't afraid of the other party, but the sudden appearance of Victory had indeed put the situation at a stalemate.

Since he himself cannot reveal his identity as the Demon Emperor, their allied forces in the world of miracles are far from being a match for the Demon Realm.

Despite their current overwhelming numbers and the presence of tens of millions of soldiers against a mere eight demons, apart from him being the only capable fighter in the Divine World, the rest, even the eight powerful Holy Emperors, are merely cheerleaders. They are of no help in actual combat and instead require his attention.

If it were just the Divine Blessed Continent Alliance and the Eight Holy Emperors, it would be fine. At worst, we could fight to the death and just blow them up.

But his wife and children are also there; if a fight breaks out, he might not be able to take care of them all.

Of course, even if a real fight breaks out, his wife and children will not be in any danger, because there are a total of eight demons on the other side, seven of whom are his demon king wives. If a real crisis occurs, he can simply turn the tables and teach Victory a lesson.

However, this would not only expose his relationship with the Demon King's wives, but also make it uncertain whether he could kill Victory. After all, she was a genuine level 999 near-god. Back then, Lynn only succeeded in killing the Demon Dragon Emperor with the help of all the elite players of "Miracle". And even then, it was only because the Demon Dragon Emperor himself let him go.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he cannot reveal his identity and join forces with the Demon King's wives. Instead, he needs to consider how to deal with the Demon King's wives joining forces with Victory...

Sigh, my life has been like walking on thin ice. You tell me, how could I possibly make it... *cough cough* Just kidding, I'm a completely different person now.

"Victory, I also advise you to think carefully before you speak. I, Lynn, can kill a Dragon Emperor, and I can kill a dragon that isn't even a Dragon Emperor! If you want to negotiate with me, first V me... no, first ask the sword in my hand!"

Lynn said he was just asking about his sword, but as soon as he turned his head, he canceled the costume appearance, revealing the gleaming Holy Emperor's Armor. Then, under Victory's solemn gaze, he took out the Holy Emperor's Ring, which he hadn't taken out before, from his backpack and equipped it.

The three Holy Emperor artifacts complement each other, and although they are not a complete set, they do have some additional bonuses from being interconnected.

But that wasn't the end of it. In the three days before Lynn led his army to the God-protected Continent, he didn't just enjoy family time during the day and bedroom pleasures at night; he did have serious business to attend to.

He then took out a magnificent crown from his backpack and put it on his head, followed by the Holy Emperor's Chain, the Holy Emperor's Bracers, and the Holy Emperor's Belt.

He obtained all the known Holy Emperor artifacts before setting off on the expedition. Of course, he made exchanges, not outright robbery. In order to obtain these set components, he also suffered a significant loss, reducing his net worth by a full 50%!
But it was all worth it. Having collected all seven pieces of the Holy Emperor set, his current strength has leaped forward by a huge margin compared to when he killed the Demon Dragon Emperor, and is even more peak than when he was at his peak.

If he had the same resources back then, he might have been able to kill the Demon Dragon Emperor even if he hadn't released him.

As Lynn put on her equipment piece by piece, Victory did not interfere or interrupt. This was not because she was invincible while putting on the equipment, but because she knew that Lynn was deliberately putting on the equipment for her to see. In reality, with their strength, it would take them less than half a second to replace the entire set of equipment. If she really made a move, she would only make a fool of herself and humiliate herself.

"Now, is it time to renegotiate the terms?"

Lynn activated all the divine artifacts in his body, and the boundless holy power of light pierced the sky, dispelling all the demonic energy and darkness around him. Whether it was Victor's oppressive aura or the remnants of the demon god's power, they were all swept away and vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Victory remained silent. She wasn't an ignorant fool. At this moment, the Holy Emperor of Miracles was clearly stronger than her, and she would inevitably be at a disadvantage once they clashed.

If she could possess the Demon Emperor Set, she would have the confidence to fight against the Divine Emperor who wields seven sets of divine artifacts. But unfortunately, the throne left by her father was inherited by Illidan Stormrage, leaving her without a title, status, or equipment.

Her set was only a level 950 magic weapon set, which was top-tier equipment, but it depended on what it was compared to. She couldn't even touch seven level 999 divine weapons.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to sense an aura that she found extremely repulsive as soon as she arrived on the continent of God's Protection, which allowed her to seize the key to victory in one fell swoop.

"The Holy Emperor of Miracles is indeed powerful, but he ultimately left a flaw."

The Holy Emperor set, which is almost complete, is not to be underestimated. Victory admits that she is a little weak at this time, but as she said, the 7/8 set is not yet complete, so the true set attribute has not been activated and she cannot be called truly invincible.

"Our battle is unlikely to end in a draw, and even the seven Demon Kings cannot help me defeat you. While we cannot defeat you, the Divine Emperor, we can annihilate all your subordinates. So I ask you, do you want the Abandoned Continent, or do you want the lives of these people?"

Victory spoke with a cold laugh. She was not some law-abiding holy dragon of light, but an ancient demon dragon who could be described as wicked. The once incomparably powerful demon realm had been weakened after the war of faith, and only the seven great demon kings were still presentable. Therefore, she did not bring the demon army with her, but only the seven great demon kings accompanied her.

The current situation is very favorable to them. Apart from the Divine Emperor, the enemy is full of weaklings, while they don't have a single one holding them back. As long as she can hold off the Divine Emperor, the tens of millions of enemy troops below will not be enemies, but their bargaining chips.

Of course, these chips seem like a lot, but in reality they are not worth much. If we speculate based on the normal psychology of the demon race, the Holy Emperor of Miracles may care about some people, such as his wife and children, but he probably doesn't care too much about them.

After all, he was a powerful near-god; what kind of wife couldn't he find? How many children couldn't he have?
In the demon realm, family and relatives are not very important and can be abandoned when necessary. Victor Reben is an exception. She doesn't care about her husband, but she cares a lot about her children.

Because it is so difficult for pure-blooded dragons to conceive, it may take a thousand years for a new dragon to be born. Therefore, the desire for inheritance ingrained in their bloodline makes them especially protective of their pure-blooded offspring.

But the Holy Emperor of Miracles is not a demonic dragon. He is a human who can give birth as easily as a mouse laying its eggs. Perhaps to him, children are as unimportant as wives who can be replaced or added at any time.

However, humans and demons cannot be equated, so Victory will definitely give it a try, since it doesn't require her to pay any extra price.

Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, the Holy Emperor of Miracles on the other side immediately fell silent. His head was lowered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Victory was about to add a few words when, unexpectedly, the arrogant demon lord Ilya, who had retreated to the sidelines after her appearance, suddenly stepped forward and spoke in a cold voice—

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, please do not harbor any illusions. Lord Victory possesses a supreme treasure, the key to victory. You have no chance of winning."

Hearing Ilya's cold voice, Lynn withdrew his hand and the bead that were about to reach for the magic mirror.

Damn it! Were their magic mirrors confiscated? Couldn't they even pull a trick on this old dragon? Did they have to shout it out right then and there?
Lynn asked himself a few questions in a row, then looked at the somewhat bewildered Victory.

Victory only paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.

As expected of the leader of the seven great demon kings, her senses are so sharp that she discovered it as soon as she touched the edge of the item.

But so be it, we're going to use it to provoke the Holy Emperor anyway. It's just that Ilya's overstepping of her bounds is unacceptable. She's too arrogant, daring to steal her lines!
“That’s right, Holy Emperor of Miracles, your only chance to turn the tide is in my hands. Without it, you can’t negotiate with me!”

As he spoke, Victory lifted the magically wrapped object in his hand, a confident smile spreading across his face.

The pure white was imprisoned by the power of pitch black, and a pair of boots shaped like angel wings floated in Victory's palm.
