Type-Moon Demon King exploded Elle's gold coins at the beginning!

“Mash, that’s not right of you.”

Li Lin shook his finger, intending to teach this naive girl a lesson in how to deceive her.

“If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine to ask them to be single-minded, but I am a god, and I am fully capable of loving everyone.”

“I’ll ask you, Mash.”

From a mythological perspective, how did humans come into being?

"Huh? The origin of humankind? Why are we suddenly talking about this?"

Mashu tilted her head, looking completely bewildered by Li Lin's sudden turn of events.

"Why bring this up? Because it's very important."

A slight smile appeared on Li Lin's lips.

"Think about it, in ancient times, the human population was limited. If the reproduction of the race was confined by certain rules and regulations, how could it continue to develop?"

"The rules of later generations were built on the premise of a certain population base."

"At the same time, regardless of gender, even with those rules, don't many people still fall in love with other women, keep mistresses, and have backup options?"

"Little do people know that even some countries at war allow polygamy, don't they?"

Li Lin shrugged.

"In a sense, this is part of the nature of the human race."

“I am a Sumerian god, an ancient being, and our concepts are inherently different. Besides, I am sincere, and I have the energy and time.”

"Unlike men and women in later generations, who would have all sorts of affairs, keep mistresses, or leech off their backup lovers."

Mashu ".............."

What's going on? I feel like my brain is about to explode?

Li Lin's words caused the innocent-minded girl to furrow her brows tightly.

On the surface, Li Lin's words are all typical of a scumbag, but if you calm down and think about it carefully, they seem to make a tiny bit of sense.

Seriously, isn't this just sophistry?

A wisp of white smoke began to rise from Mashu's pink head.

Having never experienced the harsh realities of society, she almost fell into Li Lin's trap.

Fortunately, Gudako, who had just crawled into the tent, rushed out in time and punched Li Lin a few times before dragging Mashu, who looked like she was having an overheated brain, away.

"Yay, yay~, I'm telling the truth."

"However, there's a saying..."

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart. If people follow my example, they will be on the path of demons."

Li Lin touched his left cheek, which bore a clear fist mark, and shook his head with a smile.

He is the demon king of the seven deadly sins, and he has never boasted of how noble he is.

He genuinely loves everyone, that's true, and his scumbag quotes aren't wrong either.

The only difference between him and the others is that he succeeded, while the others failed.

When it comes to building a harem, some people are like Makoto Shinkai, while others are like Shido Shinichi.

Of course, Li Lin felt that one more was missing, and that he should add Rito Yuuki as well.

The orange-red flames flickered before my eyes.

Li Lin suddenly realized a problem.

By the way, he's already completed several simulation scenarios, hasn't he?

Sumer, ancient Greece, the Fifth Holy Grail War, the ongoing Demonic Front, and Gudako, Mash, and others from Chaldea.

What if one day, all the girls gathered together...

hiss.....!

Just thinking about that scene sent a chill down Li Lin's spine.

Can Earth really hold on?

ps...........

Gaia: Meow meow meow??

Chapter 148, Ai Lei: Holy crap, I was careless and didn't dodge, I almost died.

[Arelei: Holy crap, I was careless and didn't flash, almost got killed.]

"Ready? I'm coming up!"

Behind a large tree, the girl, who had already evolved into the second generation of Ereshkigal, was nervously watching the boy in front of the campfire not far away.

She couldn't help but swallow, and her fingers gripping the tree trunk tightened even more.

Clearly, although she said "Leave it to me," she was still the same Ai Lei, both proud and introverted.

"Tsk, are you even capable?"

"If you can't do it, give your body back to me. Don't waste my time."

"Huh? How could I not be able to?!"

Upon hearing the mockery from the first generation within her, the second Ereshkigal's forehead immediately crackled with a tic-tac-toe expression.

Indeed, self-mockery is always the most effective way to make fun of yourself.

The girl, who had been hesitant, immediately changed her mind. She straightened her blue hair, puffed out her chest, and walked out with an arrogant expression.

"Good evening. Are you on night watch again tonight?"

Ai Lei Wang walked straight to Li Lin's side and sat down on the tree trunk next to him, pretending to be relaxed.

"It is you."

Li Lin turned his head and looked over.

He noticed the other person's beautiful blue hair and couldn't help but smile.

As expected, the trait of failing to keep up is a curse that no Rin-type clone can escape.

You pretended to be Ishtar, but you didn't even change your appearance; you just walked over with your original look, all big and smug.

"It's nothing. As a Servant of my Master, it's normal for me to keep watch."

Li Lin didn't expose his wife's little trick, but said it in a calm tone.

"Uh, is it?"

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Ai Lei stood up straight, her two small hands clenched into fists and pressed against her fair thighs.

She opened her mouth, wanting to give the man in front of her a good scolding as originally planned.

But she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

I couldn't help it, I was just too nervous.

"What's wrong? You look like you want to say something, is there something you want to tell me?"

Li Lin's timely voice interrupted Ai Lei's thoughts.

This question also strengthened her resolve to seek justice.

"Brother-in-law, I have a question I'm very curious about. I wonder if you can answer it honestly?"

A glint of light flashed in Ai Lei's blue eyes. Now that she had spoken, she had no intention of backing down.

"Ishtar, uh, that is, me, is your sister-in-law, right?"

"Is it really okay for you to secretly harm her sister without your wife's knowledge?"

"Aren't you afraid Ereshkigal will get angry? ╰_╯"

Upon hearing this, Li Lin put down the stick he was poking at the fire, looked up, and gazed at Ishtar sitting next to him.

"What? Are you feeling guilty, or are you afraid to answer?"

Ai Lei crossed her arms, her initial tension completely gone, replaced by resentment and anger.

She wanted to see what this man was really capable of saying.

If the reason fails to sway her, as the mistress of the underworld, she can truly fly into a rage!

"Sigh, I didn't want to say it originally, but since you've asked, I have no choice but to be honest with you."

Li Lin sighed, his gaze towards Ishtar filled with apology.

"I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to keep you as a backup plan for my feelings. If you want to punish me, I'm willing to accept it all."

Ereshkigal: "......"

What's going on? Longing? A backup plan?

Something seems off about this plot.

Ai Lei's originally angry heart was somewhat confused by Li Lin's words.

Speaking of which, could this longing be directed at her?

Could there be another reason why her husband attacked Ishtar?

Ai Lei frowned, her gaze sweeping over Li Lin as she wondered, "Does this guy really miss her that much?"

Perhaps noticing Ai Lei's gaze, Li Lin subtly curled the corner of his mouth and continued.

“Ishtar, you know how good my feelings are for Ereshkigal.”

"When I can't see her, I think about her day and night. I feel like there's no point in living."

"And you, as her other half, are also, strictly speaking, her, so..."

"I'm sorry, I love you, Ishtar, but I also love another version of you, my dear wife, Ereshkigal."

Ereshkigal: "........"

boom--!

In an instant, a sound like a heavy hammer hitting one's forehead rang out.

At this moment, all the anger and resentment that had been in Ai Lei's heart had vanished.

Instead, there was a deep sense of shame and Li Lin's final words.

My dearest wife

My dearest wife...

"Gu~~"

A sound like a kitten came from her throat.

Ereshkigal has completely turned from anger to joy.

Ishtar is nothing but a backup plan.

She, Ereshkigal! Is the true chosen one! [Thumbs up to yourself.]

"Hmph ╯^╰, if that's how it is, then there's nothing I can do."

"As Ishtar, I will reluctantly forgive you."

Ai Lei crossed her arms over her chest, her pretty face flushed red, but she didn't forget to be a little arrogant.

Looking at his adorable wife, Li Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, I never get tired of seeing Ellie's shy and arrogant demeanor, no matter how many times I watch it.

A smile appeared on Li Lin's lips.

Although he was manipulating Ellie, he wasn't lying at all when he said it.

He did indeed fall in love with Ishtar because of Ereshkigal; after all, they are twin sisters.
