Therefore, Fortuna thought that she must secretly help Emilia clear away all obstacles, even if they do not recognize each other in the future.

Then, after learning from Edwards and the Great Sin Witches that Emilia ascended the throne entirely thanks to Bai Zhe and his identity as the God-Slaying Demon King from another world.

That very night, Fortuna climbed into the Demon King's bed, receiving his blessing and his promise.

She, Elsa, and Melie form an assassin alliance, receiving a decree from the Demon King to hunt down the most sinful nobles in Lugnica in the darkness, clearing the way for Emilia!

Chapter 162 The Half-Elf Queen and the Goddess of Original Sin! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

A week later, the capital city, which had been attacked by the Witch Cult, finally completed the initial stage of repairs, and the rebuilt slums took on a completely new look.

With the help of magic, brand new, well-planned houses were built here.

In addition to the original slum dwellers, some civilians who lost their homes during the Witch Cult's attack also moved here.

Thanks to the Karlsten family's assurances and the new legislation passed this week, this place is no longer the slum it once was, but has become a new district of the capital.

Meanwhile, on the first day after the Witch Cult's attack and subsequent expulsion, the new king's consciousness of ascending the throne began.

This coronation ceremony is naturally the oldest form of divine right of kings.

Bai Zhe himself appeared in the capital, riding a massive, sky-covering evil dragon, surrounded by thousands of dragons led by Polkenica, to proclaim his nobility and power to everyone.

After the Demon King personally crowned the silver-haired half-elf girl, Emilia changed the name of the Kingdom of Lugunica and made it a new theocracy based on the belief in Bai Zhe, the principle that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the equality of all beings under the gods!

She is both the first pope of the theocracy and the wife of the dragon god Bai Zhe, Emilia Lugnica Bai I!

920 and then granted Polkenica the title of Wise Dragon, proclaiming to the world that it was a follower of the Dragon God; then granted Anastasia the title of Treasurer of the Papacy;

The Royal Guard, composed of the strongest warriors selected from the Knights and the Army over the past week, was established to uphold the Dragon God faith and the comfort of the Theocracy. Reinhard was appointed as the vice-commander.

Priscilla was granted the title of Cardinal, who assisted the Pope in conveying divine pronouncements, managing various ceremonies, and, under certain circumstances, could carry out orders on behalf of the Pope.

And finally, Emilia appointed Felt, the lost princess of the previous kingdom, as a saintess who serves the dragon god and carries out divine pronouncements. She is granted the privilege of overseeing nobles and their territories and has the right to promote talents three times a year!

In addition, Emilia, together with members of the Sages' Guild and all the nobles in the country, announced the existence of witches in this theocracy.

And tell the world that the witches' crimes were merely fabrications made by people in the past out of fear of their power, and that the witches are all innocent.

They possess powers derived from somewhere in the world, walk on the earth, and are rightfully demigods, as well as the wives of the dragon god Bai Zhe.

The Witch of Greed is the goddess of wisdom who bestows knowledge and answers doubts; the Witch of Sloth is the goddess of eternal slumber, representing the extremes of peace and slaughter.

The Wrathful Witch is a battle goddess who governs healing and calamity; the Gluttonous Witch is a nature goddess who can make the earth flourish, cause life to thirst and die, and is dedicated to ecological balance.

The Witch of Pride is a goddess of judgment who can see through the good and evil in people's hearts and punish them accordingly; the Witch of Lust is a goddess of love who gives all things feelings and bestows love and procreation upon people.

And the last two are, respectively, the Witch of Deception—deceitful and cunning, a false goddess who leads disasters and reverses life and death;

The Witch of Envy—a chaotic goddess who, at her appointed time, brings calamity to the world, dragging all things into endless darkness!

Although the appearance of the witch plunged people into chaos, the dragon circling in the sky and Bai Zhe's presence reassured everyone.

After seeing that the witches did not show any malice towards the world, nor were they as crazy as rumored, some people gradually lowered their guard against them.

Subsequently, the Witch Cult was rebuilt and became the Inquisition under the Theocracy, a necessary evil for the Theocracy to eliminate enemies and quell troubles!

At Bai Zhe's request, Elsa and Melie both joined the tribunal.

As for the remaining Edwards, Parker, Tribes, and the elves, since they neither liked to get involved in politics nor needed proof, they did not appear at the coronation ceremony.

On the day the new king ascended the throne, Emilia, as promised, offered her purity to the great demon king she admired that night.

The emergence of theocrats and new belief systems naturally impacted the old system, with the Holy Flacchia Empire bearing the brunt.

Half a month later, Bai Zherang acknowledged that the witch was a goddess, and thus the people of the Lugunica theocracy quickly gained a life of abundance, a stark contrast to the impoverished people of the empire suffering in misery...

Then, citing the obvious cruelty and incompetence of the Imperial Emperor Vincent, and Priscilla's true identity as the former Imperial Princess Priscilla, a war was launched against the Empire.

Although it was a war, the main army was the dragon army led by Polkenica.

These medieval fighters swept through the empire, and in every city they reached, the local nobles, upon seeing the dragon army—so numerous it blotted out the sky—surrendered out of sheer terror.

Even against the rebelling army, Polkenica, out of compassion, only wounded them and did not carry out a large-scale massacre.

In just three days, half of the Holy Flacchia Empire had fallen.

Then on the fourth day, seeing that the imperial nobles were doomed, they defected to the Lugnica Theocracy under the pretext of welcoming back Princess Priscilla!

Then, at dusk on the second day, Polkenica led his dragon horde to the imperial capital, Rupugana.

The dragons that covered almost the entire capital city terrified countless citizens, with many kneeling on the ground and begging for their lives.

Emperor Vincent, whose army collapsed within days, sat dejectedly on his throne.

Outside the capital, the Nine Gods will choose to protect their empire and challenge Polkenica, who has been famous for four hundred years.

However, Polkenica did not choose to fight, but instead showed a respectful demeanor, which made the Nine Gods immediately feel apprehensive after their initial confusion.

After Lugunica became a theocracy from a kingdom, and after Pope Emilia proclaimed the Dragon God faith to the world, everyone on this continent knew that the only one who could make the legendary Polkenica submit was the god worshipped by the theocracy.

The husband of the original sin witch, the god-slaying demon king from another world, the holy king who rules over mankind—Dragon God Bai Zhe!

"It's actually this person who came in person; they really think highly of us."

"I think this is a great opportunity for us to become famous overnight."

"Although I haven't witnessed that person's power, it is definitely no less than that of the Wise Dragon Polkenica. You have the confidence to defeat both of these powerful individuals and the Original Sin Witch."

"No, what I mean is, if we choose to fight Polkenica or some so-called god today, it will definitely be recorded in the history of this continent, and maybe it will even be sung about by future generations."

"If you're going to die, get out of here and don't drag me down with you. Don't let the divine punishment splatter blood on me later!"

"I'm still young, I don't want to die yet—".

Chapter 163 The Imperial Princess! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

While the nine generals were preoccupied with their own thoughts, someone suddenly noticed a large black dot in the distant sky, which quickly took shape.

It's a dragon!!

"Look, He's here..."

As one of the Nine Gods finished speaking, everyone looked towards the horizon.

As the black dragon grew larger, the dragons in the skies above the capital began to stir, descending one after another, landing on rooftops, streets, gardens, and city walls...

Meanwhile, Polkenica, the leader, prostrated himself with his proud dragon head, revealing submission and respect.

Then, accompanied by a deafening roar and a hurricane, a huge black shadow enveloped the area outside the imperial city walls.

Standing on the city wall, the Nine Gods General felt the sky darken and his heart beat faster involuntarily at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Paul Kenny's voice rang out.

"My lord."

Then, amidst the countless sandstorms whipped up by the gale, the black dragon that seemed to envelop the earth descended to the ground, causing the earth to groan and tremble.

Then, the Nine Gods discovered that three people were standing on the head of this black dragon, which was much larger than Polkenica.

The leader was a man with black hair and golden eyes. He simply stood there calmly, as if he were the center of the world, making him unforgettable after just one glance!

Standing to his right was a blonde girl, whom they recognized—Princess Priscilla, who had failed in her bid for the throne. She was as beautiful and noble as ever, her swan-like neck held high.

Standing to the man's left was a blonde orc dressed in a maid outfit.

Therefore, the Nine Gods instantly recognized Bai Zhe's identity as the Dragon God worshipped by the current Lugnica Theocracy.

Moreover, some of the Nine Divine Generals, upon seeing Bai Zhe bring Priscilla to the capital, roughly guessed the close relationship between the two and felt the urge to surrender.

However, Bai Zhe, atop the dragon's head, paid no attention to the movements of the nine ants, but instead asked Polkenica a question:

"Polkenica, what was the Empire's response?"

While Bai Zhe was asking questions, Priscilla turned her attention to the Nine Gods, a smug smile on her beautiful face, as if announcing her return.

Upon hearing this, Polkenica landed on the ground, trampling the city wall into ruins, and bowed respectfully in reply:

"Your Majesty, Emperor Vincent is currently under house arrest in the palace by the Nine Gods and is unable to give a reply at this time."

As Polkenica finished speaking, Bai Zhe looked down at the Nine Divine Generals with his burning golden eyes and slowly said, "So, the Empire is now under your control?"

As the Demon King's voice rang out, the one among the Nine Divine Generals who was skilled in magic saw the Demon King's vast and abyss-like magical power in a daze, and immediately knelt down and vomited!

This scene caused Bai Zhe to frown slightly upon seeing it.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Nine Divine Generals, or rather, the one who could temporarily restrain the others and showed signs of becoming the leader, stepped forward and bowed to the Demon King, saying, "Great Dragon God, as you said, the capital is now under our control."

"We are willing to give you the entire empire if you give the order, as long as you can guarantee our interests in the new empire."

However, Bai Zhe scoffed upon hearing this.

Priscilla, standing to the side, burst into laughter, showing no respect for the Nine Gods.

The girl looked at them as if they were clowns on a stage, trying to make people laugh.

"Hahaha...a deal?"

“I, Prisca, am the princess of the empire, the heir to the throne, and he is my husband. We are simply taking back what is rightfully ours.”

"You should just keep hiding in your own petty thoughts."

As Priscilla swiftly opened her folding fan to cover her face, a vast dragon's might descended from the sky, crushing the nine divine generals to the ground.

The residents of the capital also felt the dragon's might. Although they did not kneel on the ground like the nine divine generals, they all felt as if their hearts were being gripped by an invisible hand, and their hearts were filled with fear!

As the pitch-black evil dragon opened its massive maw, scorching heat swept over, instantly burning the skin of the Nine Divine Generals.

The grass on the ground began to dry up, and cracks gradually appeared in the earth.

The Nine Gods and even the Polkenica noticed that the surrounding moisture was evaporating, and their throats felt dry and painful, as if they were on fire.

As the flames slowly ignited in the evil dragon's mouth, the fear of death instantly caused the nine gods to submit.

The leader, in a terrified voice, said:

“We surrender. We beg the great Dragon God to forgive our sins. We are willing to offer up the empire and everything else, just to escape your divine punishment.”

Bai Zhe did not answer, but instead lightly tapped the evil dragon beneath his feet.

"Fafner".

The next second, amidst the utter terror of the Nine Gods, the Evil Dragon slightly turned its massive maw, spewing flames from its mouth.

In an instant, everything east of the capital was ignited. Within a hundred kilometers, everything was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye, leaving only billowing smoke and a charred landscape!

The scorching heat and the scene before him left the still-shaken Nine Gods panting heavily, feeling both apprehensive and grateful for their narrow escape.

After taking a deep breath, the leader of the nine generals trembled as he rose from the ground, bowed deeply to the Demon King atop the dragon's head, bit his tongue to force himself to calm down, and then respectfully said to the Demon King:

"Great Dragon God, please come with us. We are about to present you with the Emperor of this Empire."

"Lead the way."

With the Demon King's command, the Nine Gods slowly walked in front, while Polkenica was pushed aside.

At Bai Zhe's instruction, the enormous evil dragon moved extremely slowly, but each step caused violent tremors on the ground.

Citizens fled in terror along the road leading from the capital's main gate to the palace.

Because of the evil dragon's enormous body, as it advanced along the road, the brick and stone houses were like tofu in front of it, smashed and trampled one after another.

Atop the dragon's head, amidst the roars of worship and reverence from the dragons, Bai Zhe addressed Priscilla:

"After establishing your authority, it's time to bestow favors. When it comes to the money needed to repair the capital, you must squeeze it out of the imperial nobles."

Upon hearing this, Priscilla nodded and then said, "Of course I know that, but how about using a portion of it to build a statue for you?"

Her words surprised Bai Zhe.

"You still like this thing?"

Priscilla, now grown up, smiled beautifully, put down her folding fan, and looked at Bai Zhe with a proud yet fond gaze.

"You are my husband, just like me, revolving around the world. Of course, I want to show off my righteousness to the whole world."
