Chapter 376: Chapter 303: Sign! Accept!_2
So her seven sisters really didn’t pay much attention to her. If Lynn hadn’t mentioned her at this moment, no one, including Ilya, would have thought of her.
"You’ve all met my daughter Yili, right? Isn’t she beautiful? And her figure is excellent too. She’s qualified to be an imperial consort for the Demon Emperor, don’t you think?"
Victor knew that the Seven Great Demon Kings weren’t familiar with his daughter, so there was naturally no demon to speak for her. However, those who knew Yili in Shanghai understood that this child posed no threat to anyone; she was simply an obedient sweetheart. If the Seven Great Demon Kings could see the benefits of Yili joining the Demon Emperor’s harem, they certainly wouldn’t refuse her.
"As long as Yili becomes an imperial consort, I can sign a Servant Contract with the Demon Emperor. By then, with near-gods stationed within the Demon Realm and also leading troops in expansion outside, the source of faith for the Guardian Demon God will surely soar!"
Knowing that the Seven Great Demon Kings were die-hard loyalists of the Guardian Demon God, Victor naturally understood how to persuade them. Currently, the Guardian Demon God’s faction had won the faith war, and the Demon Realm was as stable as a mountain. But due to various reasons, the number of demons had suffered unprecedented damage, so the spoils for the Guardian Demon God were clearly insufficient.
To continue growing and to prevent the Destruction Demon God’s faction from turning the tables quickly, external expansion was inevitable. The hard nut to crack, the Miracle World, was obviously out of consideration. After several generations of Demon Emperors, it still hadn’t been conquered. It might be better to develop towards Great Worlds where Upper Realms like the Divine Realm do not exist; those worlds are much easier to handle.
However, being easier is still relative because, after all, they are Great Worlds. Even if there are no ascension-capable Upper Realms, some extraordinary powerhouses might emerge below. Even the weakest of them would have a Master of the World, and while they might not all possess the strength of near-gods, they certainly wouldn’t be easy to subdue. After all, expansion means going into others’ worlds, where they have territorial advantages protected by World Power, and only overwhelming strength can ensure victory.
This highlights how important it is to have a controllable near-god. The impact of having versus not having one is enormous; even considering nothing else, just in terms of the speed of world conquest, having one more near-god could accelerate the progress by more than 1000%!
"Servant Contract... imperial consort..."
Hearing this, Ilya frowned and turned to murmur with her sisters.
One must say, the terms offered by Victor were too tempting, and after hearing them, the Seven Sisters of the Demon Kings even became reluctant to kill him.
Even Ilya, who previously strongly advocated viewing Victor as a risk that should be eliminated, as well as Aya and Phantom, hesitated. For the reason for their decision to kill Victor almost vanished once he signed a Servant Contract with Lynn; the so-called risk turned from extremely dangerous to slightly risky.
If it was just this level of risk, then maybe it was worth a try...
After all, the immediate combat power of a near-god is indeed appealing, and they genuinely could use it for spreading the Guardian Demon God’s faith.
And in comparison to signing a Servant Contract and securely subduing a near-god, the downside of letting Princess Yili join Lynn’s harem group as their fifteenth sister seemed not too significant.
Given their shallow knowledge of Princess Yili, as long as she hadn’t dramatically changed her temperament due to her father’s death, she was essentially a harmless darling. Not to mention peaceful co-existence, even bullying her together would be very easy...
Hmm, why would they even need to team up to bully her? Any of the seven sisters could easily handle her one-on-one. Even the Joyful Witches under Phantom were easier to bully than Princess Yili, or else bringing her into the fold would just mean adding the bottom of the pecking order, which is entirely manageable.
So...
Whisper, whisper.
Maka Maka, Maka Maka...
After a series of intense in-person whispering, the Seven Sisters of the Demon Kings quickly reached an agreement.
"Sign! Include!!"
Ilya, as a representative, succinctly announced their discussion result: two words, "sign" and "include."
Meaning that once the Servant Contract was signed, Princess Yili could be included.
For this matter, the seven sisters could decide because it held one advantage and one disadvantage for them, but for Lynn, it was two advantages.
Princess Yili was like a genetic mutation; she looked neither like her father nor her mother, forging her path to become gorgeously beautiful despite her parents not being too attractive. Her little face was no less pretty than any of them demons, and her figure was almost perfect, ranking among the top three even amidst the seven sisters.
Filling the harem with such a peerless beauty, it was pure bliss for Lynn; what objection could he have?
It’s just that Princess Yili wasn’t there at the time. If she had been, with her sparkling eyes and a slight sway of her slender waist, Lynn would have first included her in the harem, then signed the contract...
"Since my imperial consorts have no objections, then I, the emperor, will grant you a favor, Dragon Mother, and first sign the contract. Afterward, find a time to bring Yili over, and when I confer titles upon consorts, she will be included."
Unaware of his wife’s beauty, Lynn was not overwhelmed by lust, but it was precisely this restraint that earned him a mental eye-roll from his demon queen wives.
Getting a beautiful wife and nearly invincible servant for free and calling it giving someone a favor, even though they weren’t on Victor’s side, they couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
"Well... alright then."
According to Victor’s original intention, she wanted to wait for her daughter to become an imperial consort before signing a Servant Contract with the Illidan Demon Emperor. However, at this moment, faced with the eager eyes of an emperor and seven kings, and since she herself proposed the terms, she hesitated only for a moment before gritting her teeth and agreeing.
She was a bit worried that once she signed the Servant Contract, her right to speak would vanish completely, and Illidan Demon Emperor, as the master, might not fulfill his promise and not want her daughter Yili.
But then she thought, Illidan Demon Emperor was also from the Ancient Demon Dragon Race and naturally understood the difficulties of their propagation and inheritance, so he wouldn’t likely refuse such a suitable breeding partner.
Furthermore, with her daughter Yili’s stunning beauty, which dragon would not be moved by such a sight?
With her confidence in her daughter’s beauty, her worries seemed rather unfounded.
So after the Seven Great Demon Kings eagerly drafted the Servant Contract for her and Illidan Demon Emperor, Victor, with a hint of ruthlessness, imprinted a Soul Mark in the servant section of the contract.
And after her, Illidan Demon Emperor also left a Soul Mark in the master section.
Thus, the Servant Contract immediately took effect, and Victor became Illidan’s servant, subject to his control in all respects, not being able to master life and death—that clause is exclusive to Master-Slave Contracts.
It was fortunate that Lynn, currently transformed into a Demon Dragon Emperor with a demon profession level of 999, could sign this contract; if we rolled back a month, he wouldn’t have been able to sign it.
Because although a Servant Contract is not as absolute as a Master-Slave Contract, the master’s level must not be lower than the servant’s, and at least of the same level; otherwise, it would be a paranormal reversal, a weaker controlling a stronger, which is impractical in contract signing.
Luckily, fortune blesses in disguise, and being conned in Divine Protection Continent by an unknown Demon God led to him being elevated to the precarious status of dual 999 level, which, as a result, allowed him to sign Victor at this moment.
Otherwise, he would have had to use the Holy Soul of the Miracle Saint Emperor to imprint the contract, but doing so would have directly exposed his identity, and Victor would certainly retract the Soul Mark before he could imprint; he had no reason to doubt the "hand speed" of a near-god would be too slow to react.
