Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

That's it!

Gradually, the green light grew faster and faster. Sion completely abandoned the divine martial arts, or rather, he discovered its self-contradictory fatal flaws. He began to truly break free from the realm of law and the control of the curse, allowing his body to roam freely across the Rift Boundary until nothing could stop him anymore.

The sky, the earth, the ocean—any medium has resistance. There is always an obstacle between two points, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot change this. Instead of wasting energy trying to break through all obstacles, it is better to break free of the heavy shackles, break through to a single point, and achieve true instantaneous killing!

That's right, to break through chaos, one must transcend everything, even space and time; that is the only truth he seeks.

Ignore it!

903. Free of charge

Sion clenched his fists and trembled all over. Just as he saw the dawn of truth, his body collapsed to the ground. Pain is a signal of damage from flesh and blood to its master, but evil spirits do not. They will only stop when they are completely deprived of their functions.

Pfft!

Sion collapsed at the entrance to the Dark Hall. The Abyss Dark Moon reappeared before his eyes. The Great Tomb was intact, as if nothing had happened. However, he could no longer feel his limbs. Beneath his tattered armor, his skin peeled away like dust, leaving him like a clay figure, waiting for the ghostly green light to slowly repair the cracks.

"I lost."

"You didn't actually think you could win, did you?"

Wudi shook his head and squatted on the grave mound in the cemetery, examining the six-pointed star array. The aura of the Night Mother was deeply rooted, permeating the tomb of the fallen supreme god.

It wasn't entirely hopeless. Xi Weng twitched the corner of his mouth, closed his eyes, and said, "The loser has no right to argue." With that, he had one less regret.

"Satisfied?"

The demon girl's sharp rebuke came from behind. The abyss demon king was beautiful and alluring, her voluptuous body wrapped in a spiderweb dress, making her even more seductive. However, there was a murderous aura between her brows, and she was fiddling with the black lines of necrosis in her palm.

Behind Thrantia stood numerous hideous demons and demon warriors, the tense atmosphere causing Invincible to scratch his head. This duel had alarmed the six golems and the four leaders, and for a moment no one dared to approach the Chaos Knight. Although no one thought the demon overlord could win, their feelings were still complicated when they actually saw Sion's defeat.

"Don't you like her? Then I'll take her with me."

"You dare!?"

Serantia raised an eyebrow. "Little cutie" was obviously referring to the gift. The white-haired girl she was holding was Mei Ruo, and her words were full of resentment.

"How could I not like it? It's all because you're always so fierce. Even when you visit someone occasionally, you're so rude that you almost tore my house apart."

The usually arrogant Demon King was now acting all pitiful and coquettish in front of her, and no one could resist it. Even the beautiful goddess king couldn't help but want to step forward and kiss him.

Once all her subordinates had left, only the Black Knight and the Demon Girl remained in the hall. Serantia sat cross-legged on the Dark Crystal Throne, her joy no longer concealed.

"This gift is absolutely wonderful. You always manage to surprise me. What if I can't live without you anymore? But how should I reward you, my little darling? Perhaps... you could come see me in person, in your true form. Tonight is still a long night~"

The Demon King's joyful voice trailed off with a subtle, suggestive tone, its ambiguity making one's blood boil and tempting one to peek beneath the ceremonial robes.

"Don't rush, it's not over yet."

Invincible clenched her fist, tore open a rift, and probed into the void. She had plenty of tempting bait and wasn't afraid that Serantia wouldn't take the bait. She hadn't originally planned to reel in the line so quickly, but Sion's transformation made her change her mind.

Serantia was slightly taken aback when she saw Invincible casually toss two pale crystals engraved with demonic runes onto the steps. The crystalline white bones emitted strange fluctuations, sensing the call of the cursed land of the Great Tomb and pulsating joyfully.

The Abyss Demon King's pupils constricted sharply, unable to conceal his shock, and he exclaimed, "How... how could you... you... you..."

Snatching the Bone Twins from the Moonlit Hunters is no easy task. The Hunter Clan will not easily give up the truth of the devil. The White Demon Godhood that once slipped away from Serantia has become the most difficult part of reshaping the Eight Pillars. Now, however, this problem has been easily solved by the witch.

"Am I the kind of unreasonable person? She begged me to accept it, and you will beg me to accept the abyss just as she begged me to accept it."

Serantia shook her head, unaware that it was the Night Mother who truly defeated the Hunter God Clan, and that the Lucky Witch had simply gotten away with it once again. However, she was amused by the invincible and confident attitude.

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear your conditions. Loving you is one thing, but submitting is another. Contracts are always based on absolute interests; this is the absolute law that demons believe in."

The implication was that this level of sincerity wasn't enough to gain the Abyss's allegiance, even though these two precious gifts had already excited Serantia to the point that her legs were clenched together and her pretty face was flushed.

But Wudi simply waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, negotiations are based on equal strength. I don't need any of your promises in exchange."

Serantia's eyes widened in surprise, her breath quickened, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. She longed to pounce on Nolan immediately, strip off that cumbersome armor, and pamper him properly. Although she didn't know what her little cutie was planning, she simply couldn't resist such temptation.

"Equal strength? That's infuriating! You mean... give it to me, without any conditions?"

"That's right, free of charge."

"........"

The Demon King hesitated, his aura and stance unconsciously weakening. This unexpected surprise left the cunning and wicked woman at a loss.

"That's interesting. There's no such thing as a free lunch. As far as I know, things that are advertised as free often end up costing people more than what's actually listed."

Now the problem has been thrown to Serantia. Her vigilance is not without reason. The witch's true ambition, which she has not mentioned, is probably much greater. She wants to devour not only her body and faith, but also her flesh and bones, and the entire Abyss, not allowing anyone to touch even a single hair.

But as Nolan said, Serantia couldn't refuse the benefits. Awakening the Eight Pillars meant that the abyss, which had suffered for a thousand years, would rise again and make all enemies pay a bloody price.

The Demon King and her people had been waiting for this moment for a very long time, and they would never let go of any hope. So Serantia gently touched her chest, flicked the black thread at her fingertips, and picked up two white bone crystals.

"I understand."

"Whether you believe it or not, one day you will beg me to accept the abyss, and I will mercifully grant it to you and your people, the gospel of destruction."

Invincible stared directly into Thrantia's eyes and made a wild prophecy. Thrantia had to admit that darkness and chaos were gradually taking precedence over her, and that choosing between generosity and deceit was never difficult.

"dream!"

Serantia chuckled, but gripped the Bone Twins even tighter. The next second, the hungry look on her face froze, because when Invincible opened his right hand again, a transparent scorpion with a pained face was cowering in his palm.

"The Sorrowful Demon God... How is this possible... Who are you...?"

Serantia's gaze was vacant, her chest heaved, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Finally, she collapsed onto the throne, as if all her strength had been drained away. No words could accurately describe the turmoil in her heart at that moment.

One sweet-talking after another completely broke down the Demon King's defenses. Invincible stepped up the stairs, carrying the third surprise, and ascended the throne. He bowed down, and the scene resembled a solemn ceremony, as the two were about to exchange a lifelong contract of undying love.

904. Consider it your dowry.

"It's yours now."

Serantia's lips moved, but she could no longer speak. Like a startled young girl who had just been proposed to by her beloved, she stared incredulously at the "ring." Her eyes were filled with longing. She reached out several times but then withdrew, afraid to touch the truth that was within her grasp, as if it were tainted with a deadly poison. Once touched, she would fall into the witch's sweet trap and never be able to turn back.

"What, you're scared too? Don't force yourself, just speak up if you really can't help it."

"Dream on! Don't think that just because of this I'll... I'll..."

Serantia bit her red lips and finally snatched the human-faced scorpion away. Her eyes were fierce, but her body was tense.

"beg me."

"Dream on!"

"beg me."

"Do......."

Serantia's voice grew weaker and weaker until she could no longer offer any meaningful resistance, her attention completely drawn to the dazzling truth.

"It's alright, I'm very patient. One day you'll be unable to resist falling into my arms. The next one is the Ju-on Demon God. I hope she can give me a challenge."

Invincible was in no hurry to exert pressure. He put his arm around Serantia's waist, picked her up, and slowly walked towards the dark inner chambers deep within the palace.

Serantia lowered her head in shame and indignation, her gaze darting away. She mumbled a confused "hmm." The triple attack had shattered her defenses. The intense shock left her with no energy to think about what Talion and Tess had gone through. All she knew was that a despicable fellow had appeared when she needed guidance the most, and suddenly all her troubles were resolved.

Free things are indeed the most expensive. The Demon Girl's glamorous exterior was torn apart by the Chaos Knight in the simplest and most brutal way, stripped bare, with no intention of leaving Serantia any dignity. That was precisely the process of her enjoying disciplining the Demon King. It would take a long time for the arrogant Demon King to submit from the bottom of his heart, but this would be a good start.

The abyss knows no day or night, and creatures dwelling in darkness need no redemption from the light. When a new dark moon rises, Serantia rises from her soft bed woven from spider silk, her limbs languidly stretched out. The slight allure in her eyes alone is enough to drive any male mad, but unfortunately, it only benefits a bunch of scrap metal.

This battle ended in a complete victory for the beautiful goddess king. The demon king pushed open the heavy door, obediently wrapped his arm around the invincible one, and once again ascended the Dark Crystal Throne. Fortunately, the dark vassals waiting in the hall knelt on one knee, silently bowing their heads. Even the only demon overlord with equal privileges had his back to the throne and could not see such a strange scene.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Although the process was somewhat complicated, I am very satisfied with the gift offered by the Throne of Chaos. The Chaos Apostles will always be the most honored guests of the Abyss."

"Yes!"

This gift of love was beyond satisfactory. She wouldn't hesitate to make Serantia cry and kiss Nolan's toes, because it was worth it, especially since it was given away for free. At this moment, the demon girl's eyes shone brightly, and her ambition was rekindled like a raging fire.

"Ahem, also, I'm going on a long trip soon, which could take a few days or up to half a year. The plan is special, so I don't need any loyal warriors to accompany me. During this time, the Great Tomb of Nazarick will be under the full control of the Evil Lord, with the Black Lich assisting him!"

"Yes!"

The Demon King's prestige has always been built on strength and wisdom, and no one questions it. Since Serantia ascended to the throne decades ago, the Abyss has experienced thousands of interplane wars, and regardless of victory or defeat, it has achieved considerable results, which is why it has reached this point today. No force dares to underestimate them anymore, which makes her position among demons absolute and unshakable.

“Very well, everyone except Schiele and Goethe may leave now. Gentlemen, I assure you that the long suffering is over, and the future will surely belong to us. Please be sure to defend every inch of our territory for my sake!”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the darkness has no boundaries!"

With a series of neat and resolute shouts, the numerous lords dissipated into dark smoke and left the hall, including the six golems and the four leaders.

"Haven't they come back yet?"

Serantia pursed her lips, glancing at the empty six-pointed star seat to the right of the throne. That woman was getting increasingly audacious. Or perhaps, her mother was secretly plotting something...

Sion held the Heavenly Calamity in his hand, standing upright. Despite his defeat, Invincible did not retract the Dragon Spear, so he continued to use it as a matter of course, showing that he liked it very much.

"Alright, Goethe, are you ready for that task I gave you last time?"

"Uh, now?"

The Nightmare Army commander looked up in surprise, his eyes wide with astonishment. He had been stationed in the capital of Huangyan Province, responsible for monitoring the movements of the border revolutionary army and the polar day snowfield, when he was suddenly ordered to return to Demon City.

Serantia's smile faded, her expression darkening. Goethe immediately felt increased pressure, his authority surpassing even that of the Crimson Empress.

"Is that not allowed?"

"of course can!"

Goethe pulled a blood-red crystal from under his lich robe, crushed it, and gave some kind of instruction to his subordinates.

“Great! I knew I could rely on you. Let’s go right away.”

Serantia smiled again, affectionately rubbing her arm around Invincible's, her fingernails playfully drawing unknown symbols on her armor. Her little head was bursting with many creative plans: to welcome back the five demons and allow the Abyss to regain control, no longer needing to obey the whispers of the darkness.

On one side is the Mother Goddess, who is secretive and has a history of betrayal; on the other side is a domineering yet selfless and devoted sweet lover. Who will the cunning Demon King ultimately choose? Nolan is very confident.

Soon a carved carriage stopped outside the hall. Four restless mares were terrified in the darkness. They did not belong to the Abyss. The demon girl had changed into a lace suit, hiding her horns and arrow tails. She was dressed in a fresh and lovely manner, looking like a noble girl from the Holy Alliance.

Invincible could see that Serantia's destination was the Dimension of Light on the ground, but he never expected that he would be going with her, and even playing the role of her guardian knight.

"You can't look so fierce. Any normal person would be scared away by you."

Serantia moved her fingers, and Invincible's iconic ferocious black armor instantly transformed into silver armor. She nodded in satisfaction, pulled the Knight of Light into the carriage, and snuggled into her arms as soon as they were inside.

"set off!"

The coachman jumped to the front and cracked the whip on command, driving the carriage towards the portal opened in the center of the Great Tomb under the escort of the Nightmare Army. The fact that the third companion was actually the Nightmare Commander disguised as the steward was quite puzzling.
