Die, princess, the devil is mine!

"Lynn! How dare you show your face! Prepare to die!"

Upon opening the door, Ilya was greeted by an empty treasure vault and a grinning Lynn. She felt as if she had encountered a ghost.

The demon might be afraid of the Holy Emperor of Miracles, who has become a true god, but as Lynn's legitimate wife, she wouldn't fawn over and bow down to an enemy god.

She even dared to confront the true god head-on when there was no magic around; she refused to believe that this god, who was so enamored with her body, would be willing to hit her.

"We're getting married soon, I'm just back to collect my premarital assets, don't get so worked up."

Seeing Ilya rush towards him, her little fists clenched as if to punch his chest, Lynn simply smiled and deflected her barely used force, then let her bury her face in his chest.

Ilya clearly didn't understand his joke. After all, given her personality, the only possibility for her in the future was widowhood, not divorce. Perhaps this was another interpretation of lifelong fidelity.

"I'm not agitated at all! You're the one who bullied us, using our resources to support the Miracle World. We already paid compensation back in the God's Protection Continent, and you killed all the guilty demons. Why are you still asking us for so much? Do you think we're easy to bully? Let me tell you, that's all Phantom's illusion. We, the Seven Demon Kings, are not pushovers!"

Under Lynn's manipulation, Ilya's forceful resistance reluctantly turned into throwing herself into his arms, but even when Lynn held her in his arms and gently stroked her back, Ilya showed no signs of softening.

Moreover, because they were in a state of combat readiness, they maintained their best combat form. For example, Ilya is currently in her Abyss Demon form, which is three meters tall. Her figure can no longer be described as tall; it should be called an enormous trolley. In this state, she certainly cannot be a soft girl no matter how she acts.

However, Lynn didn't know if he had learned a new skill or if it was a divine ability, but his body shape changed even more easily than hers. When the three-meter-tall Ilya bumped into him, she was still a head shorter. He hugged her as if he were patting and comforting a girlfriend who was having a little tantrum.

"I didn't bully you. I just wanted to balance the power between the two worlds. Otherwise, how can I guarantee that the Divine World and the Demon Realm won't fight each other again after we all leave?"

Lynn had, of course, carefully considered this issue. His exorbitant demands would not benefit him. As a god, he had no use for the resources of the lower realm. Although he also intended to seek some benefits for his wives in the Divine World, the most important thing was to strengthen the other combat forces.

After all, when the day comes that he has to go to the realm of gods, he must ensure that there is no trouble in the lower realm. To do this, he must make the strength of the demon realm and the world of miracles roughly equal.

It's not that he doesn't trust his seven demon king wives and is afraid they'll cause trouble after he leaves this world. The real reason is that if he goes to the realm of gods and not only doesn't die but also establishes himself there, he'll have to bring his wives from the mortal realm up with him.

When that time comes, the top demons and powerful figures of both realms will have to leave. The seven great demon kings of the demon realm will be gone, and the strongest force of the world of miracles will also be gone. Then there will be no demons to control the demon race, and no one to protect the world of miracles.

Therefore, his best option is to maintain peace between the two worlds while excluding his family. If peace is not guaranteed, then he should keep them at similar strengths, so that either side would have to think twice before taking action.

After all, at that time they were far away in the realm of gods or demons, and were restricted by the rules of the world, so they could not interfere much with the lower realm.

Previously, I didn't know when I would become a god, or what I would encounter after becoming a god, so my considerations and ideas were different. But now that I can stay in the human world as a god, I definitely need to make more arrangements.

"So even when you're balancing your strength, you're still using resources from our Demon Realm to subsidize the Miracle World. If you don't want the two realms to fight again, we can assure you that even if you suddenly disappear, we're prepared to peacefully take over the Miracle World. We never really intended to fight, and now that you're still here, a fight is definitely not going to happen."

"Moreover, if we are given some more time, when the strength of the seven sisters can overwhelm those who are close to gods, then we will have no worries at all. From then on, the Demon Realm will be our Seven Words Hall, and we will call the shots! From the Dragon Mother to the demon generals, we guarantee that they will not be able to set foot in the world of miracles."

"So... can that agreement be null and void? I'll give you a batch of empty storage rings later, and you can just sign for them."

For the sake of the Demon Realm's future, Ilya argued her case in Lynn's arms. In the end, she even resorted to using the coquettish tone that she despised most to make demands of Lynn in a spoiled manner.

She is an arrogant demon queen, not a tsundere demon queen. She never acts spoiled by others, except when she has special requirements for her husband.

"Yes, yes, that's an enormous amount of resources. Even emptying this vast demon realm wouldn't be enough to settle the debt all at once. You're asking us for so much; aren't you just taking a piece of my flesh?"

At this moment, the greedy demon queen Liz also chimed in to support the eldest sister, hoping that Lynn could have two women on either side of him, and perhaps if he was in a better mood, he would be easier to talk to.

Besides, she really couldn't bear to give it away. Although it wasn't her private demonic property, as a greedy demon king, it was incredibly painful to watch such a massive amount of resources slip through her fingers. If she weren't so powerful that she could resist the control of her demonic nature, she would probably be biting a handkerchief, tears welling in her eyes, her heart bleeding.

“I know you have the ability to control the Demon Realm and the Demon Race, but have you ever thought that from the moment I became a god, the lower realm was no longer a place for us to stay? One day... and it may not be a very distant day, we will all leave this world and go to a higher dimension. I can trust you seven sisters, but can I trust your successor demon?”

Holding Ilya in his left arm and Liz in his right, Lynn spoke earnestly. At the same time, Aya stood beside him, feeling a little jealous. After all, Lynn was also her husband, yet there was no place for her in his arms.

Fortunately, their relationship hadn't been formalized yet... well, it should be formalized, so her jealousy hadn't yet surfaced, let alone erupted. If she had been the second Demon King in the Demon King rankings, then looking at this situation now, probably no one would have fared well!
"Us? We're all leaving this world?" Upon hearing Lynn's response, not only were Ilya and Liss in his arms stunned, but Aya, who was standing between the two demons and feeling a little jealous, was also taken aback. Even Hill, who was originally feeling drowsy and was about to find a place to lie down for a while since there was no work to do, instantly perked up.

Leave this world...

Their husbands certainly weren't cursing them to die; they were probably discussing the topic of becoming demon gods with them.

But... it's not that easy to leave. Not all demons are as gifted as Lynn and favored by the gods.

Throughout history, there have been demon kings who eventually became demon gods, but the success rate was extremely low. Moreover, those demon kings who eventually ascended to godhood did not achieve their status as demon kings. The vast majority of them became demon emperors later in life, possessing all the resources of the demon realm, along with exceptional talent and unparalleled luck.

Throughout the history of the Demon Realm, there have been quite a few demon gods, but in a particular era, it would be quite remarkable if one or two appeared. It's worth noting that in many eras, the lineage of demon gods was broken, and it wouldn't be unusual for a single one to appear for thousands of years.

Even though the seven demon sisters of today are very arrogant and each of them believes they have the potential to become gods, according to historical patterns, even if we make a very bold and ruthless prediction, it would be unprecedented if three of the seven sisters eventually become demon gods.

So they did think about their future after becoming demon gods, but they never considered the possibility that they would all ascend to the upper realm and leave no one behind in the lower realm.

Even if they wanted to, it was to protect the Demon God or their future sisters who would become Demon Gods, to help them when they were about to die of old age and had no hope of becoming gods, so that they could go to the Upper Realm and become long-lived or even immortal wanderers.

As Lynn suggested, it's unlikely that everyone would leave the Netherworld at the same time.

Because the sisters who become demon gods will leave first, while the sisters who have not successfully broken through will not give up the possibility of becoming gods before they grow old and decay and follow them into the upper realm. After all, demons who are chosen by the demon gods and introduced to the upper realm will lose all hope of leveling up. Their level will be locked at the moment they are introduced and they will never be able to level up again.

So unless the hope of becoming a god was immediately cut off, no demon would immediately follow the sisters who became gods. No matter what, they would try their best in the lower realm. Usually, they would not give up until they were about to die. In this case, the time they left the lower realm could be as long as three to five thousand years. Then there is no such thing as Lynn's claim that the successor demons are unreliable, because there will always be at least three and at most six sisters who will hold on for many more generations of demons.

Then when Ilya and the others told Lynn about this reality, Lynn fell silent.

He was indeed thinking too simply. He subconsciously assumed that as long as his family and the demon were happy and together forever, that would be enough. However, he overlooked the fact that his demon king wives were not NPCs to be disposed of at his behest; they also had their own thoughts and pursuits.

While it can't be entirely blamed on him, he was also influenced by the world of miracles, because there were no examples of mortals becoming gods in the history of the world of miracles. Even the most talented and resourceful sisters, Helena and Sylvie, were unlikely to become gods on their own. Moreover, apart from Sylvie, his wives there were all raised by him. So he subconsciously felt that it would be great if everyone could go to the realm of gods together.

However, the Demon Realm is different from the Divine World. Its world level is probably much higher than that of the Divine World. According to Ilya and the others, there are countless examples of mortal demons becoming demon gods in the history of the Demon Realm. There are even powerful beings who rose from mortal demons to become demon lords.

Lynn understood that they had the ability to become gods on their own, and he had given them a lot of help, which greatly increased their chances of becoming gods. However, he was only a true god and did not have the ability to push them all to the level of true demons.

So, when he finally gains a foothold in the God Realm, all he can bring to the Upper Realm will be his entire family from the Divine World, and at most, the Witches of Pleasure from the Demon Realm and Ellie. Meanwhile, the Seven Demon Kings are clearly preparing to ascend to godhood through their own abilities.

In other words, they can indeed maintain stability in both worlds for a long time. As for the more distant future, that is not within his consideration. After all, by then he and his family may have lived in the upper world for thousands of years and multiplied for countless generations in the lower world. He can't protect the world of miracles for eternity. At that time, he can only sigh that his children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

Thinking of this, Lynn didn't say anything more. He just silently took out his treasures. Let him use his money to pay the down payment. Anyway, it's just a matter of money going from one hand to the other. He can always make a profit or loss.

Some of his demon king wives may still have to guard their homes for quite a while, so let's leave them as much time as possible; it's not easy for them.

However, he can make the down payment, but he still needs to provide the resources that are stipulated in the contract. He should try to be fair in the marital relationship, but in the main position, he should be more on the side of the Miracle World.

Regardless of anything else, he was a human hero who fought against demons for ten years. Although the demons he fought against were not the demons of the Demon God's camp, the Demon Realm they now enjoy was nourished by everything their ancestors plundered from other worlds, including the World of Miracles.

Lynn didn't believe that the Demon Realm was richer or stronger than other worlds from the beginning. Its development was inevitably accompanied by blood and fire. Therefore, Lynn wouldn't care if Ilya and the others asked for resources from other worlds under their rule. However, he couldn't ignore the resources of the Demon Realm itself, because those were originally the blood it had sucked from other worlds. Now he was just making it spit them out.

"Pay for the resources as they are. After all, I am the Holy Emperor of Miracles. I should leave something behind for the Miracle World before I leave, especially since I will be taking the strongest forces of this world with me. Consider it a dowry."

Lynn may have spoken lightly, but the demon kings in his arms and those listening nearby were quite upset.

It was already outrageous of you to use our money to support the Miracle World, but now you're using the Demon King's wife's money as dowry for other wives, isn't that right?
If it weren't for the fact that they owe their current success to Lynn's help, they would definitely be making a scene right now.
