Chapter 364: Chapter 297: Divergence (Part 2)
"I think Victor can definitely be subdued!"
"You know, right now, the Guardian Demon God urgently needs the power of faith, and even if Victor’s faith isn’t devout, she can rival a million ordinary Demon Race members. And that’s just a baseline when she’s not devout. If we can turn her into a fanatical follower of the Guardian Demon God, to put it bluntly, the power of faith one Demon Dragon can provide would be equal to the sum of all seven of us combined!"
"So we can’t just consider the risks; we must also consider the rewards. The benefits of transforming her are so significant that it’s worth taking a risk. As I said, the Guardian Demon God is now in desperate need, so we should gamble big to replenish the Guardian Demon God substantially!"
"Moreover, we have Lynn stationed in the Demon Realm as a powerful insurance, and we can certainly try. Even if it goes wrong, the worst-case scenario is eliminating her under less than perfect conditions, which is something we can manage. After all, Lynn, whether wearing the Demon Emperor’s Armor or the Saint Emperor’s Armor, has enough strength to kill Victor."
At this point, Liss paused, exchanged glances with her three closest sisters, and after seeing their supportive eyes, her attitude became even firmer.
If we were in a peaceful development environment now, prudence would be the priority. However, the current situation demands that the Guardian Demon God seizes every second. Recovering a day faster increases the certainty of consuming the Divine Realm. A little gamble is needed in this scenario.
But there’s one issue... Should we tell Lynn about the Light God King?
From his recent behavior, it seems he doesn’t know that the Divine Realm is on the brink of collapse, possibly anytime now.
Logically speaking, a couple is one entity, and nothing of this magnitude should be hidden from him.
But if we tell him... never mind whether he’ll continue helping or not, he might turn against us right then and there.
If possible, Liss really hopes Lynn converts to the belief in the Guardian Demon God and becomes a legitimate Guardian Demon Emperor, not just acting the part.
That way, the Demon Kings like herself, who rely on his help to secure their footing in the Demon Realm and even take over the entire Demon Realm, can rightfully enjoy everything Lynn has fought for them.
Moreover, he’s not just helped them; he’s also greatly aided the Guardian Demon God. Ninety-eight percent of the credit for winning the Faith War belongs to Lynn. If he’s willing to convert and join the ranks of the Guardian Demon God, with his achievements and their collective support, becoming a legitimate Guardian Demon God Envoy is absolutely feasible.
And that’s not all; due to the Demon’s Gift received from ascension, the annihilation of the Demigod Squad, the absorption of World Power, and other enhancements, all seven of the demon sisters stand a chance of becoming Near God in their lifetime and envisioning the Path of the Demon God.
This implies that it’s possible for there to be eight Guardian Demon God Envoys in the future. If that day comes, with his and their combined energy, securing a slot for Lynn’s ascension is nothing, and at the very least, he should aim for the position of a Celestial Demon.
Additionally, considering Lynn’s exceptional aptitude, far exceeding theirs, given time, it’s not impossible for him to become a Demon Lord!
So, continuing to stick with the Light God King might doom him to an uncertain fate. In the foreseeable future, being a True God is probably the upper limit, and his utmost effort in the Divine Realm’s faction might not even touch the edge of being a Celestial God. Why not switch sides and gamble on a future as a Demon Lord?
Thinking this, Liss exchanged a glance not only with her like-minded sisters but also signaled to the three leading sisters, Ilya and the others, indicating that when ready, they should not continue hiding the truth from Lynn.
And they all must exert every effort to retain Lynn, preventing him from continuing down a mistaken path. Why aim for a bright future when darkness is his true destiny?
What can be gained by clinging to the doomed Pantheon? Loyalty? Devoutness? Isn’t that too illusory...?
By switching allegiance to the Guardian Demon God Hall, not only will seven beautiful Demon Kings be immediately under his command, but the world the Guardian Demon God Faction holds is far larger than a single Miracle World, isn’t it?
Whether it’s the Human Race’s beautiful young women he likes, stunning Elves, Empire Princesses, Church Saintesses, the passionate Dragon Lady, Cat-eared Lady, Dog-eared Lady, Rabbit-eared Lady, and even the beautiful mermaids of the Ocean World, Shell Spirits, Octopus Ladies, and the Naga Merfolk...
More so, there are Harpies, Giants, Dwarves, Goblins, untransformed magical beasts, Flame Demons, Yeti, Sarts, Vampires, Ghouls...
In short, there’s nothing Lynn can’t imagine, and nothing he can’t enjoy. Isn’t this far better than the path that leads to the light?
Under Liss’s signal, Ilya silently shook her head, deciding it’s still better not to tell Lynn for now.
They aren’t deliberately trying to trick Lynn but hope he can be ruthless enough to shift from light to dark.
If they tell Lynn this while there’s still hope for the Light God King, he might remain foolishly loyal to the bitter end, going down a one-way path to light.
Therefore, it would be best to wait until the Guardian Demon God has seized the Divine Realm and then tell him. By then, the Light God King would be gone, and there would be no one left for him to serve, anyway. With his achievements and such a powerful backing, even joining later wouldn’t be an issue.
If there were an emotional counselor present, they would certainly criticize the Seven Great Demon Kings for assuming to make such a significant decision affecting his entire future on behalf of their lover.
Unfortunately, whether it’s the proud Ilya or the more rational Liss, neither of them has much emotional experience, so they don’t quite understand these things. They rose to high positions at a young age, wielding authority. Though their original intentions remain unaffected, their way of thinking has evidently gone awry.
Lynn knows nothing about these plans, and if he did, he’d probably want to spank them.
He doesn’t like others planning his life, whether it’s parents or wives. Naturally, he doesn’t have parents, so having more wives is quite understandable, isn’t it?
Besides, having fought demons for ten years as a veteran player, acting the part of a Demon Emperor isn’t a big deal, but directly joining the Demon Race...
It doesn’t seem all that terrible...
The Demon Race is no longer the villainous hordes of destruction; those bad demons have had their schemes dismantled by him and them, crushed to dust. The ones left are more acceptable, ordinary demons. His perception of the Guardian Demon God Faction is quite alright; joining forces seems negotiable.
Of course, Lynn is entirely unaware, making any suppositions moot.
Currently, all he knows is that his Demon King wives are split into two factions, unable to reach a consensus.
One side consists of three Demon Kings, and the other four Demon Kings. His position as the Demon Emperor makes his choice crucial, especially given he holds both a veto and a decisive vote.
"Let me ask you this: Has Victor done anything evil?"
Both sides of his Demon King wives have their reasoning and arguments, but Lynn isn’t interested in those. Whether the Demon Dragon Victor deserves to die is not based on whether she’s more beneficial or threatening, but on whether she has committed unforgivable acts.
"Well... The Demon Dragon Race has always been mysterious, often living in solitude and seclusion. Even the rulers of the Demon Realm know little about them. At present, we’ve only found that during and after the reign of the Dragon Emperor, none among the powerful demons sent to the outside Destruction World was this dragon called Victor. So she’s likely not a monstrous villain with endless blood debts. But because of the Demon Dragon Race’s mystery, we cannot know if she’s done anything atrocious in private."
"In fact, if it weren’t for her sudden emergence this time, we wouldn’t have known that the Third Princess’s mother was actually a Near God Demon Dragon. We only assumed the Dragon Emperor randomly mated with an Ancient Demon Dragon to produce pureblood offspring..."
