After being forced to step down, the once-annoying nun eloped with me.

Now, the demon leader understands that the high platform is not only a stronghold that restricts his offensive, but also a cage that limits humanity's further increase in numbers.

With the surface wars gradually subsiding and human armies having long since gained a respite, the only ones who would be at a numerical disadvantage if humanity were to leave the high ground and gain an advantage on the plains would be the demons.

To prevent humans from leaving the platform, the demon leader had to order more demons to advance. But the worst consequence of more demons leaving his vicinity was that the flies hopping around him now had a reason to run rampant.

"I need to get rid of this annoying fly first," the demon leader thought, ordering one of the less important high-ranking demons to leave his guard.

This gave Margarita, who had been constantly harassing the demon, a much-needed boost.

But while dodging the attacks of the high-level demons, she still noticed the helpless look in Theresa's eyes from afar.

That's not enough. Just one high-level demon leaving the party isn't enough.

"But I can barely keep going with just one!!!!"

Margarita cursed inwardly.

The high-ranking demon completely ignored her. She would have been able to react when only the juvenile demons were bothering her.

But the pressure increased after the high-ranking demons showed her "care".

Even so, it was still a high-level demon. As an ordinary vampire, Margarita considered herself to be barely managing to fight a high-level demon.

Not to mention that the high-ranking demons I'm fighting aren't even those with particularly strange or special abilities... Do you really expect me to draw the fire of a few more high-ranking demons? I might do it, but whether they even acknowledge me is another matter entirely.

What?

Panting heavily, with several scratches running down the body of the high-ranking demon, Margarita looked at the demon, which had evolved a shell, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, knowing that she was probably powerless to help.

And it was at this moment that Gaia, who had been silent all along, finally appeared.

"Looks like it's my turn to step in," Gaia muttered, knowing it was time for her to make her move. "But Margarita... you'd better be prepared to run."

"what?!"

"If you were just stinky tofu before, then after I started harassing you, you'll be like fermented herring—you should know that, right? I can't last long... After I disappear, you'll be the stinkiest kid in the eyes of the devil."

"so..."

"Yes, it's the one you're thinking of, so—"

You will become the target of the demons. So do everything in your power to escape while simultaneously drawing them away to safety.

The world god leaped down from Margarita's head, finally transforming into human form on the ground, and unleashed a divine sword strike at the demons.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The End [The End]

After the world goddess Gaia appeared, everything became perfectly natural.

After all, the demons could not ignore a god who suddenly appeared, nor could they act according to their original pace under the threat of a god—although this god only temporarily possessed power, in the end, Gaia completed Margarita's mission.

To deal with the imminent threat, the high-ranking demon had to leave the party. After leaving the party, the protection the demon leader received naturally dropped to a dangerous level.

Theresa, watching from afar, seized the opportunity. The instant the sixth high-ranking demon broke free of the protective circle, she concentrated her burgeoning divine power in her palm, first glancing at Margarita and the others who were leaping about to make sure they were out of danger.

"bump."

Theresa believed in the principle of killing with a single blow.

The spear of light, composed of divine power, pierced through the flesh wall formed by four high-ranking demons in the next instant, and finally pierced through the body of the demon leader with unstoppable force.

The point where the spear of light disappeared was precisely the end of the demon leader's body. It was dead. But the demon leader's death directly triggered chaos among the other demons. Losing their freedom of command, the demons were transformed into frenzied and dangerous beasts.

"But if it's just a wild animal, it's no big deal."

The demon that transformed into a mad beast after the leader's death posed little threat.

Not only did the humans underground spend some time dealing with the demons, but the allied forces on the surface also managed to stop the demons after being hit by their sudden attack, and inflicted incalculable damage on them in a short period of time.

At this point, the destruction of the demon Allandis was only a matter of time. And the search for the Siren's Scepter had become a certainty.

Two days later.

The demons of Arlandis have been eradicated. The mountain of demon corpses not only provided a vast mineral deposit for Ysgard and the United Nations, but also gave the exhausted soldiers a chance to catch their breath.

Margarita ordered the workers waiting in Isgard to travel through a portal to Arlandis to begin construction on this barren continent that rose from the sea.

After all, this is an entire continent, a whole new piece of usable space. If this place can be redeveloped, countless resources will be directly fed to both countries in the future.

This is an irresistible temptation for anyone. So not only Isgard, but even the United Nations came to get a share—even though their population was relatively small.

While the surface was being cleared of the piles of demon corpses, Kino and the others, now that they were completely safe, began their methodical exploration underground.

The search for the Siren's Scepter is no easy feat. While exploring the intricate underground passages, Kino and his companions frequently encounter strange objects.

Perhaps it's the remains of the Sirens' ancestors, or a still-functioning flesh and blood mechanism, or even the remains of demons that are already dead.

They finally found the Sirens' scepter in a secret chamber surrounded by several Sirens' corpses. With this, the task that Yang Hao and his team were most concerned about had yielded results.

The next step is to analyze the Siren's Scepter while preparing Kino to seal the Sky Demonic Calamity Rift.

...... ......

one year later.

When Yang Hao visited Weis City again from the Purple Palace, he was being escorted by Theresa and Finn while being subtly insulted by his wives:

"Hopefully, we can reach an agreement during this visit. After all, we finally have hope of completely eliminating the demon invasion, and we can't let it fall apart over some minor issues of interest, can we?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Hopefully our husbands can understand that the problem lies with you, not elsewhere."

"Yes, yes..."

A lot happened this year.

This included the integration of Allandis—after all, it was a continent that rose from the seabed and contained a large amount of sea sand resources, which, after being processed by artificial magic, became the best fertile land.

In less than a year, Allandis, which had risen above the sea again, was revitalized. Although no trees had yet grown, the lush green grass made it increasingly valuable.

but--

This wasn't the focus of the meeting between Isgard and the United Nations. In fact, no one at the meeting was interested in this. After all, their officials could handle the land issue themselves once the demon problem was resolved. In other words, they had gathered here to deal with a major matter that only they could resolve.

This matter concerns Yang Hao. If not handled properly, it could affect the harmony between the major nations in the future—therefore, apart from Bayern and Gaparia, the United Nations has temporarily split into several entities in this matter, fortunately, the number of splits is not large.

"But it shouldn't have gone to this extent..."

On the way to the venue, Yang Hao sighed as he hugged little Anna, who had come to Isgard early to play and was now rushing towards him to greet him.

Who knows?

"Yeah, who knows?"

The two wives, one older and one younger, shrugged and let their husband hold their adopted daughter to relieve his boredom. They sighed inwardly: Who knows?

Because of Yang Hao's situation, even the most composed Elena, for reasons unknown, chose to temporarily participate in the council in her personal capacity with the help of Lalumia, who supported her.

They originally thought that three against two was no big deal—but because of Lalumia's intervention, it turned into a two against two against one situation.

All I can say is... Lalumia, I still consider you my mother... how could you do this to your own child?!

Theresa was in high spirits.

If Lalumia knew what Theresa was thinking, she would probably say: This is just revenge, you know?

While Lalumia was indeed tolerant and forgiving, Theresa's use of profanity and vulgar language when she prayed to herself after her life became more peaceful was also genuine.

Over time, even the smallest ripples can turn into a monstrous wave—moreover, Lalumia couldn't bear to watch Elena's bewildered expression any longer.

Therefore, she offered Elena a small "help." This gave Elena courage and support, and also turned the previously overwhelming situation in the United Nations into a stalemate.

She swore it wasn't because it was fun—after all, Yang Hao also had to make his choice.

"No matter what, stringing girls along isn't a good thing, is it? It's not just Elena, there's also Narudya, Miss Nia, and so on..."

To accept or to refuse? To prioritize or to treat all equally? These are choices you, as the core member, should make.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you'll live longer than an elf, so why not carefully consider your own heart before making a decision?

At Lalumia's urging, Yang Hao attended the council meeting with mixed feelings. But ultimately, the choice he would make was up to him.

He seems unable to treat everyone equally. But prioritizing tasks seems unfair to everyone.

But there is no absolute fairness in the world; even from an objective standpoint, this is unfair.

After all, not everyone holds the same place in one's heart. More importantly... not everyone has made efforts that others cannot match.

"In other words, it's impossible to treat everyone equally in the first place..."

He ruffled Anna's hair and grumbled. But when he entered the conference room and saw Naruja standing with Elena, and Margarita and Nia who were already prepared and greeted him, he was surprised.

He felt pressure coming from both sides of his body from his two wives simultaneously.

“...It’s two against two against two. Ah...Natalia’s here too, so we’re three.” Theresa sneered.

"I thought Naruja was firmly on your side, you know?" Finn squinted and glanced at Theresa. "Turns out she's on Elena's side?"

"After all, if you think about it carefully, following Elena seems like you could at least get meat instead of just soup..."

"Hurry up and show some of the confidence you'd have as a wife!"

"What can I do... I'm just a little nun."

"Damn it, you can still play the nun and remain so calm even now?!"

"That's true..."

Theresa said, somewhat aggrieved, "That's the truth."

To this day, she has never relinquished her status as a nun. Even now, as Bartholomew, she remains the same nun Yang Hao was back then.

So, what should we do?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Hao, feeling quite pressured, put Anna down and gestured for her to sit on a small chair to listen in. Thus began a meeting concerning the future international relations between Isgard, the United Nations, and the Kingdom of Eden.

...

Until the following year.

Apart from them, no one knew what exactly happened at the meeting.

The public only knew that the United Nations had officially gained the support of Ysgard, and thus, a transoceanic empire was born, and there was no country in the world that could rival the United Nations.

Although it seems like a monopoly and a unique hegemony, even the world god remarked: It's good that this small matter was handled peacefully.
