Chapter 398: Chapter 314: Divine Demon Sword Armor (Part 2)
Moreover, they had already witnessed the resurgence of the Demon Realm on the Divine Protection Continent before, with the enthronement of a near-god Demon Emperor, the sudden emergence of a near-god Demon Dragon, and the ascent of all Seven Great Demon Kings to the pinnacle of demigod status...
The current Demon Race is no longer the defeated, broken, and leaderless remnant from over a year ago. They have not only returned to their peak but have grown even stronger, surpassing the terrifying might they had when the Demon Dragon Emperor led them into battle.
During the campaign led by the Demon Dragon Emperor, they were utterly routed, unable to muster any resistance, and only managed to win the war with the timely arrival of divine warriors and generals.
But those divine warriors and generals exhausted themselves in that battle, and since then, no such powerful individuals have been seen descending from the heavens. If they were to now learn that, not only are they without these warriors, but the Miracle Saint Emperor, who played the most crucial role in turning the tide and slaying the Demon Dragon Emperor, is also gone...
How despairing would that be...
Under such circumstances, Lynn shuddered to think how chaotic the Miracle World might become. Perhaps even if all his wives came forward, they wouldn’t be able to quell the world’s chaos, or even an uprising?
Lynn had never experienced an apocalypse, but having read some novels on the subject, the Miracle World is likely to enter a countdown to doomsday once it loses protection.
Although they have a clear enemy, unlike natural disasters, zombie mutations, or nuclear annihilation scenarios, there will certainly be brave individuals who rise to lead the people in resisting the invasion of foreign races. But where there are brave people, there will inevitably be cowards and maniacs, making chaos that sweeps across the world almost unavoidable.
After all, the Miracle World doesn’t understand the Guardian Demon God Faction; they only know that for generations, they have been fighting the Demon Race to the death, who seeks to annihilate their race, destroy their nation, continent, and even their world.
So Lynn cannot hope for a peaceful takeover of the Miracle World by the Demon Race. He needs to make sure the Demon Race dares not touch the Miracle World, while also appeasing the hearts of the people in the Miracle World.
Thus, while he needs to maintain the existence of the Demon Emperor Illidan, it’s best to also ensure the existence of the Miracle Saint Emperor Lynn.
If only the Demon Emperor Illidan exists, it may barely suppress the Demon Race, but it won’t comfort the Miracle World’s populace. Moreover, an order that targets something within reach but isn’t taken will certainly arouse the Demon’s suspicion.
Although Illidan Stormrage’s might is enough to quell any insubordination, he can’t use his power recklessly, because one move would lead to ascension!
So, the continued existence of the Miracle Saint Emperor Lynn is very necessary.
A "Near God" who has been baptized by the Power of Heaven and Earth and guided by the Divine Attraction Light sitting in the Miracle World should be enough to see who dares to act recklessly!
Ah, being a double-faced Emperor is really difficult, taking care of both sides while keeping everything secret.
It’s just unfortunate that the female Demon Kings are so enticing; otherwise, following the traditional script, as the World-saving Hero, I would lead an army to wipe out the entire Demon Race! Then the world would be peaceful, without a care.
But now, under the rule of the Demon Kings, they are not the utterly evil Demons of before. Lynn has come to understand the way the Guardian Demon God Faction manages the world, though it may be slightly tainted by what the Destruction Demon God Faction calls "enslavement" or "coercion".
But upon learning that under the rule of the Guardian Demon God Faction, the world operates with a two-day weekend, an eight-hour workday, free meals and accommodation, free healthcare and education, and freedom in marriage, he couldn’t help but marvel—
"The Demons are actually quite good..."
In such circumstances, Lynn has no choice but to endure, waiting for an opportunity to open exchanges between the Miracle World and the Demon Realm. Even as the Miracle Saint Emperor, merely his words aren’t enough to convince people of the miraculous differences between the two Demon Factions.
The best method is to let them experience it firsthand, to see and feel it themselves, much more effective than empty sermons and oaths.
Of course, this requires a long process, not something that can be achieved overnight. But fortunately, he has a long lifespan, certainly long enough to wait.
Hmm...?
No, now I’m truly a god (true demon), so life is not just long—am I already immortal?
Lynn has ascended to divinity for the first time, with no prior experience. Moreover, since he’s still lingering in the Human World, he doesn’t even dare to use his true Divine Power. In fact, he hasn’t even fully experienced the feel of becoming a deity.
It’s not just unreal; it’s genuinely without sensation. Maybe it will be only when he truly enters the Divine Realm that he’ll experience what it feels like to become a god.
"In this situation, it’s best to first show up in the Miracle World, and after deterring the Demon Race, start handling both sides."
Even as a god, Lynn couldn’t speak in the void. His mutterings remained silent, and without a sound, his figure disappeared into the Destruction World.
In just an instant, Lynn appeared on the Divine Abandonment Continent, and in another flash, he was in the Divine Protection Continent. After becoming divine, the World Wall and spatial distances of the Lower Realm seemed non-existent to him. He no longer needed to tear through space to traverse worlds. If he wished, even without the teleportation ability of the Demon Mirror, he could freely move between the Miracle World and the Demon Realm. It’s just that traversing worlds is a super long journey, which would take a few seconds to "walk".
Upon returning to the Divine Protection Continent, Lynn immediately expanded his divine thought to cover the entire continent, and instantly found the figures of his wives and children.
They were in the middle of the continent, apparently assisting in repairing and constructing the core part of the Divine Protection Continent’s Teleportation Array. Although they were not well-versed in the Path of Space, they could inject pure power into the completed array, accelerating its coverage and operation.
In the blink of an eye, Lynn appeared beside them. Focused on infrastructure, his wives didn’t notice him immediately. However, little guardians Little Youli and Little Yuna were the first to spot their returning father.
"Meow meow meow?"
The little ones quickly set down their cats and rushed eagerly toward their father.
They called out "Daddy, daddy, I missed you so much!" as they ran toward him.
It was their boisterous calls that caused Vivian, Catherine, and the others to glance back at Lynn.
To Lynn’s surprise, the first to jump onto him was not Little Youli or Little Yuna who made the first move, nor the most enthusiastic and outgoing Natasha, nor the plump yet swift and agile Gooji, but...
"Lynn, I’ve missed you so much."
Seeing Catherine burrow her head into his chest, Lynn instinctively reached out to touch her forehead.
Hmm? It’s a bit warm but not hot...
So it’s just happiness blushing, not a fever?
Lynn had never seen the usually aloof but awkward Catherine look like this. Whether when she was a Warrior career mentor back in the day or during the time he forcibly kept her by his side, she always maintained a distance.
Moreover, Lynn knew it wasn’t because she was shy but didn’t have those feelings for him.
He had always been trying to get closer to Catherine. With his would-rather-be-called-a-rogue-than-leave-any-bit-of-a-woman-unclaimed personality, there was no way he’d give up on Catherine, whom he’d called his wife for ten years.
Yet, in such a short time apart, Catherine suddenly changed, even knowing to throw herself into his arms. Even the now sharper-witted Lynn, who had become divine, tilted his head and showed a face full of question marks.
