The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 409: Chapter 320: Unequal Treaty

Ascend to the divine position? Stay in the human world?

Dragon Mother, do you even understand what you’re saying?

Please don’t tell us that the world wall, which the entire Demon Race gathered their strength to break, has a True God squatting on the other side?

Us? Fight a True God??

Originally, I thought Dragon Mother and the Seven Great Demon Kings were launching a thunderous operation together, but it turns out it was just performance art?

We treat you as leaders of the Demon Realm, and you treat us as cannon fodder, right?

No, in front of a True God, what are we, little demons, if not cannon fodder? A sneeze from them could kill eight to ten thousands of us, right? Calling ourselves cannon fodder might be overestimating ourselves a bit?

For a moment, the entire edge of the Demon Realm was filled with question marks floating around, and almost all demons were lost in wild thoughts, with all kinds of strange ideas, but one thing none of them dared to entertain was the thought of rebellion.

Don’t tell us about fighting to the death. Maybe a group of ants can try to challenge an elephant, but never heard of ants gathering to challenge a giant dragon...

They are simply not from the same world, there’s no comparison, and this kind of battle is meaningless. At best, it’s called rushing to die; at worst, it’s sheer stupidity.

So when Dragon Mother revealed the identity of the Miracle Saint Emperor and his ascended strength, after a series of reactions, the demons were left only with the choice of how to die.

And even such a choice depends on whether the Miracle Saint Emperor, who came stepping through the air, would show mercy. If He decides they should die miserably, even slitting their own throats might not accomplish that.

"You don’t need to worry about why I’m still here. I’m just an idle person awakened by neighbors banging on the door. Just say what you need from me. I have a lot to deal with at home, and actually, I’m not that free to mess around with you."

Lynn first used eye contact to soothe the excitement of his seven Demon King wives, then responded impatiently to Victor’s inquiry.

Actually, it wasn’t a real response, because she was no longer in a position to question him. But if he wanted to solve the problem at hand, he had to talk to a representative from the Demon Realm.

And since Illidan wasn’t present, the best option was to talk to Victor, because he didn’t want his wives to take the blame.

"So... Lord Emperor, now that things have come to this, how do you intend to deal with us?"

While the Miracle Saint Emperor was still in Miracle World, the Demon Race gathered a massive force under the wall and nearly all their top warriors came to break the world wall, planning to invade Miracle World.

And right during their "door-knocking" attempt with all their might, they were caught red-handed by the True God on the other side.

Honestly, Victor wanted to make excuses, but after thinking hard, couldn’t come up with a reasonable one. The world wall is equivalent to a border line—they were attempting to breach it, and claiming it was just a visit won’t cut it.

If the Demon Realm and Miracle World were friendly neighbors with usual visits, it might be explainable. But the relationship between the two realms was hostile to the core, so any excuse was futile.

Instead of dying in disgrace, it was better to stand tall and dignified, at least letting them die on their feet, not flat on their knees.

"I just fixed the door, and here you are with your relentless banging, making such a racket, hitting so hard, it’s quite impolite..."

"So is it unreasonable to ask for some compensation?"

When Lynn came over, he had already gathered people for a small meeting, as the actual administrators of Miracle World were mostly his wives, so it was essentially a family meeting.

In the meeting, Lynn collected opinions and suggestions from all his wives to tailor an unequitable treaty for the Demon Realm.

Of course, the treaty’s contents weren’t overly harsh; he didn’t consider the fact that the Seven Great Demon Kings were his wives, but rather approached it from a practical standpoint. The idea was that, after signing, the gap between Miracle World and the Demon Realm could gradually close, moving towards balanced power.

Since the Demon Realm was inherently much stronger than Miracle World, achieving balance meant severely extracting from the Demon Realm. But compared to the crisis of extinction, these compensations were not a big deal.

After all, lost resources can regenerate, but once Shanghai is destroyed, there’s nothing left.

However, even such a seemingly advantageous trade of resources for life, the one who agreed to and signed this unequal treaty would definitely be criticized in the future.

They might celebrate now, using unseen resources to save their lives, but later, when many demons need resources for upgrades, only to find they’re all paid to Miracle World, and everyone has nothing to use, no one would care if resources were traded for life before—they would definitely start complaining.

Moreover, the treaty had a lot of various clauses, even though each was aimed at encouraging demons towards goodness, it wasn’t certain whether it might be oppressive or even torturous to them.

Anyway, it was a result of collective brainstorming, and after considering the fact that Lynn couldn’t use full force to kill the Near God Demon Dragon and Seven Great Demon Kings, the treaty they proposed was designed to cause only significant pain and internal damage, not to push the Demon Race to a dead end.
