Out of pity for the girl who had been running around all day, Bai Zhe decided to show her mercy and let her come back to pay the price the next day.
On the contrary, Francesca used all her charms on Bai Zhe in the middle of the night to prevent herself from being dethroned, so much so that she felt like her whole body was falling apart the next day and couldn't get up at all, which made Anne Groot mock her.
On the second night, after collecting all the key fragments from the master's hands, Bai Zhe obtained the Star Crown.
Now, all that's left is the last celestial body existing in the Holy Kingdom to activate the Ark!
However, it would be better to make Beatrice pay the price first.
On the morning of the third day, amidst Ai Ke's impatient voice, Bai Zhe slowly opened his eyes and saw the pink-haired dragon girl sitting on him, her dragon eyes, like rubies, looking at him.
Meanwhile, Mordred squinted at Eiko with a displeased look on her face, clearly extremely dissatisfied with her behavior. However, since Eiko was sitting on Bai Zhe's lap, he was afraid that if he pounced on her directly, he would hit Bai Zhe, so he could only watch from the side.
Nabi, on the other hand, with her more mature and tall figure, watched the scene with a smile, as if she were watching Bai Zhe's amusement.
"Is there a problem?"
As Bai Zhe's question rang out, the pink-haired dragon girl directly revealed the reason for her sullen expression.
"Why won't you do that with me?"
"???"
"Isn't there a rush?"
"You and Mordred created a new dragon race, so why can't you do it with me!"
Clearly, the pink-haired dragon girl believed that Bai Zhe was favoring her old rival.
Upon hearing this, the black-haired dragon girl laughed out loud, while Nabi looked at Bai Zhe with a hint of anticipation.
Seeing this, the Demon King, as if soothing a pet, placed his large hand on Eko's little head and rubbed it, saying at the same time:
"Alright, alright, tonight we'll create a new dragon for the future of the dragon race."
"Hmph~ You said it yourself, you can't lie to the dragon!"
Because none of the four people present lowered their voices, Beatrice, who had been exhausted all night, was woken up by them.
The first thing the girl did after sitting up was to complain.
"It's so noisy!"
However, after rubbing his sleepy eyes and looking in the direction of the sound, he discovered that the three Dragon Kings who had destroyed the theocracy's army that day were all there.
Beatrice instantly snapped back to reality, shrinking back in fear.
Seeing this, Eiko only glanced at the girl and then ignored her. Beatrice, under such immense pressure, naturally put on her clothes and hurriedly fled the place.
Upon seeing an empty spot, Eiko naturally wanted to take it, but Mordred was equally eager, and the two dragon girls immediately started rolling around on the bed.
Bai Zhe also got out of bed, put on his clothes, and left the room with Nabi.
It wasn't until quite a while that Eko and Mordred realized the two had disappeared.
Then the roar of the evil dragon echoed from inside the room.
"Nabi—"
"Damn she-fox!!"
Inside the courtyard, hearing Aiko and Mordred's roars, Nabi revealed a sly smile and looked at Bai Zhe, saying softly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to tease them like that, do you?"
Upon seeing this, the Demon King immediately reached out and pinched the other's cheek, gently tugging at it.
"Don't try to absolve yourself completely."
"Alright, let's get down to business. Tomorrow I'll go to the Theocracy to get the rest of the celestial bodies, while you'll go to the Knights' Kingdom and bring the other four celestial artifacts to the Theocracy to meet me."
"I'd like to see what kind of divine artifacts are on the Dragon Clan's Ark."
Chapter Seventy-Four: The Celestial Lakul! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)
(Pictured is King Lakul IV)
Inside the Espada Sanctuary of the Papacy, a group of cardinals were verbally attacking the envoy who had suffered a defeat and lost millions of believers in the Papacy.
"Farus, is this how you repay the Holy Kingdom's high regard for you?!"
"This...this isn't my fault, Your Excellency!! I had no idea the Western Union had such biological weapons!!"
"It's all that she-fox's fault from the Scarati family!!"
Regardless of the circumstances, the envoy felt that saving his own life was the priority, so he directly shifted all the blame onto Beatrice.
Whether she's right or wrong, she's not here, so I can't refute her. It's up to her to say what she wants to say.
However, these bishops had already made up their minds.
The defeat of the Theocracy has certainly given other countries an opportunity, so Farus, who was sent by the Theocracy to the Eastern Alliance, is now the most suitable person to be the scapegoat and sent to the guillotine.
"Guards, take him away."
As soon as a bishop spoke, the envoy was dragged away by the knights of the Holy Kingdom like a dead dog, and they ignored his pitiful pleas for mercy.
"Let's discuss the three monsters that appeared in the Eastern Union."
"Such a monster has appeared in this world! We must seize this power and put it in the hands of the Holy Kingdom. Let's unite with other countries on the continent to put pressure on the United City and force them to hand over those three monsters!"
Throughout the entire ordeal, the petite, blue-haired figure sitting on the papal throne never uttered a word.
This is not just an age issue, but also involves the exercise of the rights of the church itself.
The so-called pope is nothing more than a mascot for the theocracy in relation to believers; he has no real power whatsoever.
Just as these cardinals were discussing matters and fantasizing about the theocracy gaining great power and bringing the entire continent under its rule.
A terrifying roar rang out from outside, and everyone present felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
Throughout the entire city, under this sudden oppression, the only one who could breathe freely was the nine-year-old Pope Raquel IV!
However, this sense of oppression comes and goes quickly, but it is enough to cause those affected to have nightmares for several days in a row.
Having just experienced what happened, the cardinals immediately summoned the knights waiting outside the temple.
"Guards, guards!"
"What happened?"
"Who dares to cause trouble in the holy Holy Kingdom?!"
At the same time, a fully armed knight stumbled in, his face filled with terror, and reported to everyone present:
"Your Excellency, it's a dragon! There's a dragon of unprecedented size..."
As the knight returned the favor, the bishops present were filled with righteous indignation.
"A dragon? Could it be the giant dragon that Farus reported? It must be from the United City. How dare those barbarians let such a beast trample on the sacred theocracy!!"
However, just as these people were about to gather the knights' forces, the roof of the Espada Sanctuary was suddenly ripped off by a hurricane, revealing a huge, pitch-black evil dragon that was coiled above everyone's heads, capable of blotting out the sky!
Immediately afterwards, several figures descended directly from the top of the evil dragon's head to the ground, one man and four women.
It was Bai Zhe, Mordred, Eko, Linda, and Yousula.
Upon arriving on the ground, the Demon King bluntly ordered the cardinals present, "People of the Theocracy, hand over the celestial body and I will grant you a swift death."
As Bai Zhe finished speaking, a cardinal stepped forward and questioned the Demon King: "Who are you? Do you know this is the most sacred place on the continent?!"
However, the cardinal's words almost made Bai Zhe laugh.
"A land without gods, a city of blood and sin, dares to claim holiness?"
The cardinals, whose disguises had been exposed by Bai Zhe, immediately revealed their ugly faces.
"Where are the Templars? And where is Asclepius?"
"Quickly kill these traitors who have tarnished the honor of the Holy See!!"
However, the moment the knights of the Holy Kingdom filed in, two magic circles, each half a meter in diameter, lit up on the tips of Mordred and Echo's noses.
The next second, with a flash of fire, the knights of the Holy Kingdom who filed in were instantly reduced to ashes by the flames of the Underworld Dragon King and the Holy Dragon Emperor!
The bishops who witnessed this looked on in horror. Faced with death, these cardinals no longer possessed the domineering air of those who held supreme power, and became even more pathetic than ordinary people when confronted with life and death.
"Who exactly are you people?!"
"Just a god-slaying demon king from beyond the realm, it's fine not to remember him. Now, what answer do I need?"
After Bai Zhe's voice rang out, it was immediately followed by Ai Ke's rather cute yet slightly loli-like sharp voice.
"Listen up, humans! I am the great Royal Dragon of Avalon! You insignificant humans, kneel down now!"
In contrast to Eikona's harmless, even endearing, expression, Mordred's voice was much deeper and more serious, filled with indifference towards life.
"Kneel before Mordred, the King of the Underworld, you lowly human."
"The fifth daughter of the Loreamon family, Yusula."
When they finally arrived at Linda's place, the girl with pigtails, encouraged by Bai Zhe's gaze, mustered the courage to reveal her lineage and name.
"I am Linda Blake, a descendant of Rosamaria and a descendant of the Holy Grail!"
"The Holy Grail bloodline?!"
After the girl finished speaking, the cardinals present, who had hunted down the Holy Grail Knights in their early years and had personally killed those with Holy Grail blood, felt as if the heavens and earth had collapsed.
They believe that Linda, a descendant of Rosa, has come to avenge the sins committed by the Church in the past!
With the exception of a very few cardinals, many people knelt down, attempting to beg for mercy in exchange for a chance to survive.
"Please, sir, spare us! We had no choice in the first place!"
"I apologize. I apologize for hunting down the Holy Grail lineage. Please forgive me. I have an elderly mother and a young son at home who need my care."
"We have absolutely no idea what this celestial body is!!"
However, seeing this, Linda was frightened by these crazy people and even hid behind Bai Zhe.
Bai Zhe showed absolutely no pity for these people.
“You people not only don’t realize you have treasures right beside you, but you also have absolutely no faith in your hearts.”
"The time has come to pay the price. Your sins will be washed away with your blood."
The next second, the Demon King threw away the Rhine coin that had suddenly appeared in his hand.
Tempted by the Rhine gold, these people were instantly overwhelmed by greed and began to bite their opponents in order to seize the only glittering Rhine gold coin on the ground.
Seeing this, Bai Zhe had Yousula cover Linda's eyes.
In this bloody massacre, the one with the most gold coins eventually transformed into a ferocious dragon over ten meters long, soaring into the sky and breathing fire upon the theocracy and its followers that he had once ruled.

(The image shows Asclepius)
With a flick of his finger, Bai Zhe sent out a wisp of flame that burned away all the filth on the ground before letting Yousula release her hand from covering Linda's eyes.
Then, his burning golden eyes turned to the entrance, now a ruin, and he said calmly and sternly:
"You've been watching for so long, it's time for you to come out, witch."
As Bai Zhe finished speaking, a silver-haired witch wearing a huge black witch's hat and with a figure similar to Mordred slowly walked out from the ruins outside the door.
The silver-haired witch, who appeared young and beautiful but was actually over two hundred years old, discovered as soon as she appeared that Mordred and Echo's magic circle was already aimed at her, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on her fair forehead.
He then forced himself to calm down and gracefully curtsied to Bai Zhe, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty the Demon King from beyond the realm."
"You must be the husband of the legendary princess of the Knight Kingdom; I am Asclepius, Mirabelle's teacher."
"Climbing the social ladder?"
Upon hearing Asclepius's words, this was the first thing Euthyura thought of.
When Asclepius saw that the girl showed him no respect and directly exposed all the hidden meanings in his words, an awkward and impolite smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Bai Zhe didn't give her any more time. Instead, he asked, "Speak, witch, what is your purpose in appearing here? Is it to avenge these people? Or to become a hero who defeats the Demon King?"
