Die, princess, the devil is mine!

"Damn it, Kayla! You think you can cause trouble under my tight security? Do you think you're on a different level just because you're a little bit stronger than me?"

With the help of the seven demon kings, Yuri had locked Yuna up completely, making her unable to move. In addition to their physical entanglement, their demonic souls were also clashing. However, unlike the eight-on-one melee, the battle of demonic souls was only two against one.

The divine soul of the God of Light joined forces with the demonic soul of the guardian demon god. Because their attributes were incompatible, their cooperation was not very smooth. However, they were still outnumbered and were able to suppress the demonic soul of the demon god of destruction.

"Heh, Lillani, Windsor, you don't actually think I've been preparing for all this time just to launch a sneak attack when all the gods are on guard against me, do you?"

Although she was completely locked down, with both her body and her divided soul being severely suppressed, little Yuna showed no resentment on her face, but rather a mocking expression.

"You're just a fragment of a soul. Do you think you can be as omnipotent as you were in the Upper Realm? Besides, even in the Upper Realm, you'd need to drag some trash along to make up the numbers just to fight us to a draw!"

On the surface, the God of Light, Windsor, conveyed a message of disdain, but in reality, she was paying close attention to the demon soul that was part of her body.

The power of the Destruction Demon God was indeed superior to theirs. Although the trashy War God she mentioned had almost reached the limit of the main god level and possessed a powerful strength of 9900+, in the war of god kings, he could only be considered a filler, capable of causing some interference. The fact that the Destruction Demon God could unite with the War God to fight to a draw against one of their god kings and one demon king was truly remarkable.

Therefore, among the three divided souls at present, the divided soul of the Destruction Demon God is the most powerful. However, in the lower realm, without the help of the God of War, she would still be severely suppressed by them in a pure two-on-one fight.

"I deliberately chose this time so you could have everything arranged before I started, not to offer any help!"

Yuna's face contorted, her once adorable appearance becoming somewhat ferocious. Lynn, standing nearby, could sense their undisguised "conversation" and wanted to take the opportunity to save his daughter, who seemed to be suffering from malicious attacks, but he couldn't ignore the reminder from his other daughter.

"What's going on!?" ×7.

Just then, the seven demon kings who had been holding little Yuna captive suddenly felt a tremor in their demon souls, and their consciousness began to blur. They only had time to send out a message of terror before falling into silence.

"Are you insane?! Forcibly corrupting my followers will not only leave you with no faith power, but will also consume ten times that amount of your own faith power. Do you know what kind of state the seven near-gods will leave you in?!"

Seeing the seven demon kings nearly die suddenly, the guardian demon god couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It should be noted that in the lower realm, those who are close to gods are almost invincible. Even if the Demon King himself were to take action, it would take a great deal of effort to defeat them.

However, if it is only a wisp of a soul, it may not be able to gain much advantage when facing multiple near-gods, let alone defeat them.

However, if it is corruption by faith, then there is a way to solve it. After all, no matter how many or how strong the near-gods are in the demon realm, they are all of demon origin, while the Destruction Demon God is one of the supreme demon gods of the entire demon race.

If she were to stop at nothing, she could forcibly corrupt or even distort the beliefs of ordinary demons; even a demon king-level being could not shake her resolve.

However, corrupting believers with opposing faiths is not a simple matter. Physical modification only requires biotechnology, and mental modification only requires soul technology, but faith modification requires everything.

Most importantly, forced relationships are never sweet, and beliefs altered through corruption will not generate faith power. Otherwise, why would gods and demons develop followers? They could just engage in pure corruption.

Moreover, this pollution of faith does not rely on renewable forces such as magic or divine power. If you want to pollute someone else's faith, you have to consume your own faith.

Because each believer has a different level of faith in their god, the amount of faith power required to corrupt them is also different.

There's no need to mention anything else, just consider the seven great demon kings of today. They are all the most devout believers of the guardian demon god. The only difference between them and ordinary fanatics is that they are more rational.

To corrupt believers of this caliber, the source of corruption would have to pay ten times the price. Furthermore, the seven demon kings are already near-gods at the limit of the lower realm, so the cost of forcibly corrupting them would be even more outrageous.

Even at the height of her power, if the Goddess of Destruction were to attempt this, she would have severely damaged herself and experienced a significant decline in strength.

Now that all her followers have died, her own faith power has been cut off and has no source. So, this forced contamination of the seven demon kings will cost her at least five thousand years of accumulated power without any real benefit.

This isn't just a matter of being physically weakened; this is a severe depletion of vital energy!

Her strength didn't just decline, it plummeted!

As expected, as the seven demon kings fell into a coma due to the corruption, the Demon God of Destruction's split soul within Yuna's body gradually weakened to an almost transparent state. This was the state reflected in her split soul due to the damage to her main body.

"Why would you do this? What good will it do you to corrupt them? They won't give you a single ounce of faith power!"

The guardian demon frowned in confusion. The destruction demon had expended so much effort, yet he hadn't used it to deal with her, nor to seize the vessel from the God of Light, nor even to target Lynn.

The seven demon kings were merely near-gods who had been hastily matured. Although their strength was not to be underestimated, with Lynn present, she could easily suppress them. At most, after corrupting them, she would only turn Lynn's seven demon king wives from ambitious guardian demon kings into destructive demon kings who were kept as concubines. Apart from being disgusting, they could not cause any waves.

"You have completely severed my roots, so why should I care about the power of faith? This external power is nothing more than icing on the cake. As long as my origin remains intact, you can't kill me just like you couldn't kill the God of War! As for what use is it to corrupt them? Count down three, two, one, and you'll see..."

The slightly weak voice of the Destruction God echoed softly; though it was not spoken, it directly affected the ears of all the gods.

"three……"

"two……"

"one……"

Without giving them any time to think, in just three seconds, the seven demon kings, who had been dormant, opened their eyes at the same time.

Their eyes, which were originally beautiful and lively, sometimes smiling, sometimes charming, sometimes proud, sometimes mischievous, were now cold and cruel, as if they had been chopped with a knife or axe.

Lynn could see the intense killing intent in the red light in their eyes. Although the killing intent wasn't directed at him, it still made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"We, the Destruction Gods, are best at destruction. Oh, and self-destruction is also destruction..."

Before the message could even finish, the seven demon kings, their eyes fierce and cold, suddenly drew their demonic weapons and smashed them forcefully against their own foreheads.

!!!

"Lynn, don't move!" ×2.

The warnings from the Guardian Demon God and the God of Light came too late. Knowing that the life-saving magic artifact couldn't save those who were about to commit suicide, how could Lynn just stand by and watch his demon queen wives walk to the brink of death?

He was never a calm strategist who could calculate everything; he was just a lucky guy with a lot of strength.

So he didn't hesitate to take action and forcefully restrain the seven demon king wives, directly interrupting their suicide attempts. Ilya Murphy left the party.

Aya Aya has left the team.

……

……

Phantom Trissis has left the team.

The moment Lynn intervened to stop the Demon King's wives from self-destructing, they all left his team.

It seemed that something detected that he had activated teammate damage and was attacking his own teammates, so the team disbanded immediately.

"Lyrani, if you're willing to give up the faith supply from the seven demon kings and spend more faith power than I do to revert them to their original colors, then I might not be able to take Lynn with me. But you're such an indecisive demon. I'll give you three minutes to think it over and you can still make a decision, but three, two, one... hehehe, these two orphan vessels are yours!"

As the information about the Destruction God's raving spread everywhere, the eyes of the seven demon kings who had been controlled by Lynn began to slowly regain their clarity. At the same time, the power that had corrupted them did not continue to erode them, but instead began to dissipate like ice melting away.

"Don't even think about it!"

Upon seeing this, Yuri shouted loudly, and the next second, an overwhelming and terrifying pressure began to spread.

The main soul has descended!

The power of the divided soul cannot stop the deadly trap set up by the Destruction Demon God at a great cost, but the main soul can!

It's just dyeing it back to its original color. Even if the price is higher, so be it. We can't let Lynn fail here.

By this time, she had figured out Kayla's dirty trick. She knew that if she tried to force power on Lynn again, he would refuse it manually. Now that he had become a god, he wouldn't be so easily manipulated.

That's why she didn't stop Lynn from exterminating her followers and leveling up all seven demon kings to level 999.

Having lost all her followers, leaving not a single one, Kayla had no intention of making a comeback. She decisively abandoned the power of faith, the most important source of power for a "god," in exchange for complete control over the seven demon kings.

Without them, this operation might have allowed her to rebuild her faith from the top down by manipulating the seven demon kings, but with them around, it's all in vain.

But was it really a waste of effort? She wasn't controlling the seven demon kings to develop anything; she was just borrowing them for a while and would return them when she was done.

Her corruption wasn't meant to destroy the Demon King, but to kill him, to kill him at Lynn's hands.

No matter how well Lynn suppressed his divine power, if he absorbed the experience of killing seven near-god-level demon kings in one go, he would still be pulled to the upper realm even if he was tied to a rope in the lower realm.

Of course, she knew that with Lynn's strength and the protection of two God-King level split souls, it wouldn't be difficult for him to control but not kill the seven near-gods.

Therefore, Kayla did not intend for Lynn to actually kill the Seven Dark Lords; she only needed Lynn to make an attack gesture against them.

Needless to say, using force to forcibly control the other party is definitely an attack.

As long as Lynn makes this attack on the seven corrupted demon lords, Keira can cause her corrupting power to collapse, returning the seven precious guardian demons to their rightful place.

At that moment, the seven Demon Kings who were the Destruction Demon Kings were already dead, and what remained were the Guardian Demon Kings.

This is a disguised form of forcibly giving experience points, but Lynn can't refuse because these experience points are obtained from "killing" and are not actually forced upon him, and there is no one around him who can share the experience with him.

He can't pair up Little Yuri and Little Yuna; they're not good enough.

He couldn't even form a group with the Seven Demon Kings, because he was currently attacking the Seven Demon Kings...

I've never heard of being able to pull monsters into your party while leveling up and then share the experience with them...

Thus, Lynn easily gained the experience of "killing" seven near-god-level demon kings.

Having gained such a massive amount of experience points, even considering the class gap between Lynn and them, it was enough to push him further up the ranks.

"I'm sorry, we've hurt you..."

As the seven demon kings slowly regained their senses, they saw the halo rising around Lynn, knowing that he had reached a new level. Although this level was similar to his previous one, his situation meant he couldn't even advance to level 1 anymore...

At this moment, even someone as stubborn as Ilya couldn't help but soften and lower her head, which she had been stubbornly holding high, to Lynn.

"Farewell, everyone. I'll be waiting for you in the Upper Realm."

Before Lynn, the protagonist on the stage, could even speak, the Destruction God's split soul, which was already severely damaged and on the verge of collapse, made its exit.

In her current state, it's impossible for her to compete with the God of Light for the vessel. However, with the biggest variable in the lower realm eliminated, there's no need to care about this vessel anymore.

"Am I that valuable? For me, you were willing to harm yourself, abandon your faith, give up your vessel, and watch your followers die out, cutting off any possibility of resurgence. In your eyes, am I really more important than the entire lower realm?"

Lynn could already sense the new divine light about to fall, and this time he had no way to counteract it.

Just before his ascension, before the Destruction God's divided soul returned to its original body, he still couldn't understand and wanted to ask why the Destruction God valued him, a mere True God, so much. As a villain, shouldn't she have sent her subordinates down one level at a time to give him enough experience before challenging her, the final boss?
The Demon Dragon Emperor only appeared when he reached the maximum level in the game. Why did this Destruction Demon God personally attack him when he was just a new god?

"Because you are a god outside of fate, Lynn, you do not belong to this world, or rather, according to your logic, you do not belong to this universe, right? When I devoured the remnant of the God of Fate, I foresaw ninety-nine kinds of destructive futures, but beyond these futures, there was a bright future shining forth..."

"I am absolutely certain that my old rival has no chance of defeating me. The only exception is you, who are outside of fate!"

"So you... must die!"
