However, once the spread of faith is discovered by the apostles or the supreme god, things will not be so simple. The supreme gods are most afraid of someone secretly developing under their noses and plotting to overthrow their position.
"What if we add these?"
Lin Qi sneered, seemingly having anticipated Seraph's decision. Spreading the power of faith was neither a big nor a small matter; if it were discovered, it would indeed be troublesome, but under normal circumstances, it would definitely not be discovered.
The reason is simple: each god spreads the power of faith in a different way. You can't defend against all the ways gods spread their faith. The way the god of deception spreads his faith, which allows people to gain the power of faith simply by saying they believe, is even more difficult to defend against. As long as the higher-ups in the lower hell plane don't make some low-level mistakes, there is no possibility of being discovered.
Seraph's difficult treatment of Ling Qi was merely a common diplomatic tactic—a feigned retreat to lure him in. She also wanted to see if Lin Qi had any other bargaining chips or trump cards.
Lin Qi readily granted her wish, taking out a runestone with strange symbols and placing it on the table. This runestone possessed special abilities, but it gave the impression of being incomplete.
"It seems I underestimated you. You're qualified now. However, the Lesser Hell Plane isn't under my control alone. I need to discuss it with the other three Demon Lords. But I think our deal is basically done."
Seraphim's pupils contracted again. When she looked at Lynch again, she had clearly accepted his eligibility to make the deal. However, there was a certain risk involved in this deal, so she did not agree immediately. But the likelihood of the deal succeeding was basically settled.
Because what Lin Qi took out was a Dimensional Token! This Dimensional Token was one of the Dimensional Tokens that Lin Qi obtained in the world of the Demon Ninja, except that this one was only missing one last fragment to become a complete Dimensional Token.
The reason why the Dimensional Proof could be used as a bargaining chip was because Shyvana told Lynch that the forces of Hell had launched a massive offensive in order to conquer other planes and obtain the Dimensional Proofs from other gods. Although the Deceptive Mist in Lynch's possession was useful, it was merely a means of deception and could not produce any substantial achievements. Now, with the Dimensional Proof, the Lesser Hell plane could deliver on its promise.
With Lynch's piece and the one they are currently invading, they have obtained two Dimensional Proofs, which is more than enough to handle the early stages of the war!
Furthermore, according to the rules of the Hell forces, the dimensional certificates obtained do not need to be handed over.
To be able to deceive the higher-ups and gain tangible merit, all while paying the price of unseen faith power, is an absolutely worthwhile deal. Especially for a demon who lies as naturally as eating, trading with faith is like paying no price at all; the mission is accomplished, the transaction is complete! A sure win!
"This is just our first deal. If it goes through, I have a few other more interesting deals to make, but let's wait until our first deal is completed."
Of course, although this was a sure-fire deal, Seraphine, as a diplomat, didn't rule it out completely. The reason was simple: she wanted to continue to squeeze more out of Lynch and see if she could get any more benefits out of him.
Although Lynch was not good at diplomacy, he understood Seraph's meaning, so he deliberately kept her in suspense. However, what Lynch said was also true, because he still had several complete Dimensional Tokens that he had not yet taken out. Before becoming a true god, he had no Dimensional Tokens at all, so it would be more worthwhile to use them for trading.
P.S.: Thanks to reader 【黎明の曙光】 for pointing out the error. The previous chapter was indeed written incorrectly. Lin Qi advanced to the fourth-order pseudo-god, not the fifth-order. It has been corrected.
Chapter 216 269
After reaching a preliminary consensus with Lynch, Seraph immediately returned to the Lesser Hell Plane and convened an emergency Demon King meeting. Although the demon apostles had not taken any action for the time being, it did not mean that they would not take any action in the future. So, if they could help me resolve the hidden dangers, we should do so as soon as possible. After all, no one in the Lesser Hell Plane wanted to see the faces of those demon apostles!
Seraph left, but Lynch stayed behind, standing in front of the main seat where Seraph had been sitting. Now, Seraph's younger sister, Shiki Sona, had taken her place. Shiki Sona was blushing and looking shyly at the spot where Lynch was penetrating. At this moment, Shiki Sona's legs were in a V-shape, resting on Lynch's shoulders, and her ankles were being held by Lynch.
Lin Qi mistakenly took Zigara as Seraph and began a violent invasion. Although Lin Qi also wanted to attack Seraph, he could clearly feel a dangerous aura emanating from her. Obviously, this great demon king, who was stuck at the fifth rank and level nine, was far more dangerous than she appeared to be.
But if I can't do anything to you, can't I at least do anything to your sister? So Lin Qi decisively started taking down Cang Na, who was her older sister back then.
"If I want to win over your sister, you'll help me, right?"
Of course, Lin Qi wasn't just venting his anger; he was simultaneously penetrating with three shallow and one deep intrusions while asking Zhiqu Cangna a question.
“My sister is very capable and has always been very opinionated. She might not listen to me.”
Although Sona was in a state of confusion and infatuation, when she heard that Lin Qi wanted to harm her sister, she subconsciously felt a sense of reluctance. After all these years, the only person in the Siddi family who could make her feel kinship was Seraph.
"Don't underestimate your importance in her heart. You played a crucial role in the success of this transaction. If it were any other fourth-tier being, Seraph probably wouldn't have come."
However, Ziqu Cangna's refusal made Lin Qi shake his head. He knew that Seraph's only weakness was Ziqu Cangna, so controlling Ziqu Cangna was tantamount to indirectly controlling Seraph. To put it simply, in this particular transaction alone, without Ziqu Cangna's mediation, Lin Qi would never have even met Seraph.
Of the four current demon kings, the only one Lin Qi was confident he could persuade was Seraph.
"One more thing, I don't need her to listen to you, I just need you to listen to me. There's nothing more satisfying than conquering a great demon king by force."
Lin Qi's words silenced Shiki Sona. Before Shiki Sona could speak, Lin Qi, seeing the strange smile on his face, spoke first. For a powerful demon lord like Seraphim, ordinary methods held no appeal; violent suppression and conquest by force were the most interesting approaches. [By the way, I'd like to ask for your ideas on conquest methods. Please leave a comment in your book review; I'll acknowledge your suggestions if they're adopted.]
"You want to... um, it's so hard..."
Lin Qi's words immediately startled Shiki Sona, who vaguely guessed something. However, she didn't say it outright, but simply smiled even more strangely. As if she had thought of something amusing, she greatly increased both the frequency and intensity of her attacks, which immediately interrupted Shiki Sona's train of thought, making her tense up and fully immerse herself in Lin Qi's offensive.
Shiki Sona's body was incredibly sensitive, and with their current position—completely trapped in the high-backed chair by Lin Qi—he launched a powerful assault, wave after wave. No one could hold out for long before Shiki Sona was overwhelmed by Lin Qi's relentless assault, but Lin Qi didn't stop at all. He held Shiki Sona's body firmly until he had released all his essence into her body before finally ceasing his attack. At this moment, Shiki Sona's eyes were rolling back, drooling and convulsing, looking utterly helpless...
Lin Qi, still not satisfied, summoned Shinra Tsubaki, the original familiar of Sona.
"Ah! Lady Sona...you...ah! What did you inject me with?!"
When Shinra Tsubaki saw Shichiro Sona's appearance, she immediately exclaimed in surprise. Because Lin Qi had taken in a lot of girls at once, and he didn't want to use the same tricks on them all, he simply left most of them idle. Shinra Tsubaki was one of them.
Before Zhenluo Tsubaki could react, Lin Qi suddenly appeared and gently pricked her neck with a silver needle. Zhenluo Tsubaki instinctively wanted to retaliate, but the power of the Dark Contract stopped her.
"It's just some fun stuff. Don't worry, your Lady Sona will take good care of you soon."
Lin Qi smiled. These original followers, such as Zhenluo Chunji, wouldn't be loyal to Lin Qi so quickly. Lin Qi decided to use some special methods to make everyone happy. After speaking, he also stabbed Cangna in the neck.
Just moments later, Shiki Sona and Shinra Haruhime both began to feel unwell. Shiki Sona, who was still immersed in the sensations of her body, took the initiative and started to grope Shinra Haruhime, specifically targeting her most sensitive areas.
"Lord Sona...no!"
At first, Shinra Haruhime was able to maintain her rationality, but she quickly succumbed to Sona's skillful techniques, and the two of them fell into pink desires. Meanwhile, Lin Qi joined this special battle with a teasing smile.
--
"A fourth-order false god? A flawed dimensional certificate and a divine skill that can create illusory scenes, in exchange for the right to spread the power of faith in our secondary hell plane? And the way to spread faith is just verbal faith?"
Meanwhile, in the private conference room reserved for demon lords in the lesser hell plane, the current Asmodeus Grand Demon Lord, Falbiwin Asmodeus, strangely repeated the key points from the information brought back by Seraph!
Not only Falbiwin, but also Sazex and the current Dark Lord Beelzebub, Ajax Beelzebub, all had strange expressions on their faces.
"Yes."
"Even the heavens are helping us! A mere fourth-tier pseudo-god is nothing to us! It's like a piece of fat meat delivered right to our doorstep!"
After receiving Seraph's affirmative answer, Falbiwyn immediately showed an excited expression. As the person in charge of the battle in the entire sub-hell plane, he could clearly feel that the overall situation of the battle between the alien forces had begun to escalate, but their side was still lukewarm. If this continued, the higher-ups would definitely come down and interfere!
And now, Lin Qi has practically delivered himself to their doorstep, solving this problem for them!
Chapter 217 270
"Although this transaction guarantees us a profit, this fourth-tier pseudo-god you mentioned is not as simple as you think."
Although Seraph agreed with Falbiwin's assessment of the deal, she didn't quite agree with his evaluation of Lynch. Initially, Seraph and Falbiwin shared the same opinion, believing that Lynch's fourth-tier strength was simply not enough. However, after the deal was completed, Seraph's impression of Lynch changed drastically. Based on her woman's intuition, Seraph felt that Lynch was not as simple as he seemed, and that he might have many more trump cards up his sleeve.
"Can it still make waves?"
Although Seraph had already warned him, Falbiwin clearly didn't take it to heart, curling his lip in disdain. Judging from Ajeka's expression, he obviously shared the same view and attitude as Falbiwin. Seraph was too lazy to explain, merely shrugging her shoulders, clearly not wanting to continue the topic.
“Let Seraph handle this matter. That way, we can free up our resources to deal with our internal problems. The progress with the fallen angels and angels has been a bit slow lately. It seems it’s time to intimidate them.”
Ultimately, it was Sazex who spoke up, and unsurprisingly, the deal with Lynch was finalized. Among the four Demon Lords, Sazex was actually the one in charge.
With the threat from above gone, Sazex and the others naturally turned their attention inward. The three-way peace talks they had previously advocated had not yielded any news from the angels. The fallen angels, who had initially reached an agreement, had been dragging their feet for some reason and had not yet reached a true consensus with the demons. Therefore, Sazex decided to take this opportunity to give them a good talking-to.
The demon kings reached a deal with Lynch almost without any objection. At this moment, Lynch was educating Sona and her familiars while pondering how to educate Seraph. Lynch was quite interested in this high-ranking demon king. It felt like conquering your female boss who had always looked down on you, making her repent and praise you while eating your penis.
After finalizing the details with Shito Sona, Lynch didn't hold back and summoned Rias.
When Rias saw such a stimulating scene, her face immediately turned red. She obviously did not expect that Lin Qi and Shiki Sona were engaged in such a vigorous activity, and she did not expect that her friend Shiki Sona would show such a lewd expression and make such embarrassing moaning sounds.
Rias's appearance instantly heightened the emotions of Shiki Sona, who was being targeted. It was clear that Shiki Sona was the kind of person who became particularly perceptive when familiar people were around, especially in this semi-intoxicated state.
"Tell me about your brother, and about his most powerful familiar, his queen [the silver-haired Annihilation Queen] Grayfia Lucifers."
Lynch summoned Rias not for spice, but for intelligence. Ever since he tasted the life of a married woman like Hua Daizi, Lynch's mind was filled with the image of the "Silver-haired Annihilation Queen" Grayfia Luciferus. He had just finalized his strategy for conquering Seraphim, and now he was immediately planning his plan for Grayfia. However, before that, Lynch needed more information about Sazex and Grayfia.
After all, Gurefia is different from Hua Daizi. Hua Daizi is divorced and longing for single life, while Gurefia has a powerful husband who loves her. Such a goal is quite difficult, but that is precisely why Lin Qi is more interested. A goal without difficulty is not challenging.
"Do you want to harm your brother?"
"Do you think I have the strength to lay a hand on your brother? Don't worry, I just want to learn more about the four Demon Kings who control this world."
Lynch's question immediately made Rias's expression turn somewhat ugly. Rias's first reaction was that Lynch was going to target her brother Sazex, not Grayfia.
However, this was exactly the misunderstanding that Lin Qi wanted to create. Lin Qi did not explain the problem directly, but only asked Rias a question in return.
It's important to know that Sazex's strength in this plane is definitely among the top three. Although Sazex isn't an Apostle for some reason, his rank is definitely above the sixth level! Lin Qi certainly doesn't have the strength to confront Sazex head-on, but if he uses a sneaky tactic, then it's hard to say.
"My brother is a very serious and earnest person. From childhood to adulthood, he has been the most dazzling genius in the family..."
Lynch's question immediately softened Rias's expression, clearly showing that she also highly recognized Sazex's strength. So, after hesitating for a moment, she began to describe Sazex's abilities.
"What about the Silver-Haired Annihilation Queen, Grayfia Luciferus?"
Rias clearly held Sirzechs in extremely high regard, as evidenced by her constant praise throughout the journey.
Despite the various praises and honors, Lynch didn't really want to know any of these things. However, she patiently listened to Rias's explanation of Sazex before turning her attention to asking about Grayfia.
"Greefia Lucifers is not only her brother's queen, but also a maid of the Gremory family and his legal wife. Legend has it that she and her brother were enemies in the past and fought for a long time. However, she was eventually conquered by her brother's strength and charm and married him. The two had a very good relationship. In my memory, she was very serious and kept her personal life separate from her work. Her strict aura made her brother's familiars and her brother himself obedient. She was also known as the strongest queen among all the familiars in the bestowed title. She even once competed with Leviathan Demon Lord Seraph for the position of the strongest female demon. Her strength is beyond doubt."
With Lynch's previous explanation and after describing her brother's experiences, Lyas didn't hide any information about Grayfia and immediately began to describe her sister-in-law from her perspective.
"What are her hobbies and weaknesses?"
After listening with narrowed eyes, Lin Qi turned to the question she most wanted to know.
Rias's expression suddenly turned strange, and she began to speak haltingly.
"Well, to be honest, there is some truth to it. She really likes to drink, but she can't hold her liquor. I remember once when we were little, she got drunk and caused chaos throughout the entire Gremory family..."
P.S.: I usually update every night. I attend classes during the day. I'm about to enter my senior year of high school, and the academic pressure is immense. I'm a miserable 16-year-old.
Chapter 218 271
"Well, if I had to point out a weakness, she does have one. She loves to drink, but she can't hold her liquor. I remember once when we were little, she got drunk and caused chaos throughout the entire Gremory family..."
Rias's answer immediately made Lin Qi's eyes light up. In Lin Qi's memory, Grayfia was a perfect wife. She was extremely strong and intelligent, and there were almost no weaknesses. Lin Qi was not confident that he could win her over. That was why he asked Rias to inquire about Grayfia.
But when Rias said that, Lin Qi suddenly remembered that in one of the side stories of High School DxD, Grayfia did drink some alcohol and got completely drunk. After getting drunk, Grayfia's personality changed drastically, and she became very mischievous. Most importantly, she actually took a bath with Issei Hyoudou! Although it was just taking a bath together and nothing substantial happened, this weakness was enough for Lin Qi!
"I want to clarify our relationship with your brother and make him my brother too. I wonder if that's possible?"
After finding Grayfia's weakness, Lynch immediately had a preliminary plan in mind, and then suddenly asked Rias.
Lynch's plan was flawless: nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing's more fun than his sister-in-law! Gurefia was definitely more fun as his sister-in-law! [Is my taste getting increasingly extreme...? I'm definitely turning evil step by step, someone save me!]
"Well, in that case, brother might face some challenges, and the difficulty of those challenges is probably..."
