You want to make me the devil, right?

“You this…”

Xia En was caught between laughter and tears upon hearing this answer.

He had no choice but to reach out and rub Iris's head before walking into the monastery.

“Mr. Xia En, welcome.”

“The usual.”

“Please, follow me ~”

Yulissa immediately went to prepare the tools for prayer, while Xia En waited in the basement for a short while.

At the same time, he threw the two newly condensed Demon King Crystals into the Succubus Mother Nest.

[Succubus Collar: An item that can increase the target's obedience.]

“Increase obedience?”

Xia En raised his eyebrows slightly.

Obedience wasn't the same as affection; it meant that even when giving orders that went against the target's will, they couldn't resist and could only endure their inner disgust to serve him.

“Not bad.”

Xia En nodded in satisfaction, storing it into the Demon King Space.

Afterward, he used the remaining Demon King Crystal to summon an ordinary succubus.

[Succubus is being conceived, estimated time: 24h.]

“The conception of an ordinary succubus takes 24 hours, but the Succubus Empress only takes a 'whoosh' sound?”

Xia En frowned slightly, was this somewhat illogical?

However, the Succubus Mother Nest didn't have a so-called conception slot, it could conceive countless succubi simultaneously.

As long as there were enough Demon King Crystals.

“Mr. Xia En, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Yulissa approached Xia En, carrying some novel prayer tools.

“I've been waiting too long, let's start quickly.”

“Please lie down ~”

… …

Dawn Empire Royal City, Star Observation Tower.

“Lady Morina, is it possible that even with your power, you cannot find the whereabouts of that Demon King successor?”

Several nobles and court mages surrounded a woman wearing a magical robe as thick as a quilt and a magical hat, anxiously asking.

“Alas ~”

Morina sighed deeply and explained, “That Demon King's successor is the most mysterious individual I have ever seen.”

“Even the previous Demon King, I could predict its approximate location through the stars and the Book of Prophecy.”

“Not to mention, my father was able to accurately predict its weaknesses, state, and even future movements, which is why he secured the opportunity for the hero to win.”

“But this Demon King, I cannot predict its movements at all, as if it possesses some kind of special protection, or its soul does not belong to our world.”

“Even, even my father…”

Upon hearing this, the nobles revealed worried expressions.

“How could this be…”

“Doesn't that mean it will be the most powerful Demon King in history?”

“That hero who saved the world has already gone to the God Realm, how can we fight against it?”

“The members of the hero's party who accompanied the hero to defeat the Demon King are still on the Aeria Continent, they may be able to help us defeat the Demon King once again!”

“Impossible! Although the hero's party members are all heroic and mighty, capable of confronting the Demon King. But that is based on the premise that the hero is on the battlefield. After losing the hero, even if all the demigods of the Aeria Continent gather, they cannot fight against the Demon King!”

“Only the hero can defeat the Demon King!”

“How can this be…”

The crowd showed despair, and silence fell in the Star Observation Tower.

“Everyone, don't worry too much, the appearance of the Demon King will inevitably be accompanied by the birth of a new hero.” Morina comforted the crowd, “Moreover, it is still in a state of growth, we have plenty of time to nip it in the bud!”

“Lady Morina is right!”

“As expected of the daughter of the Great Sage, you have inherited your father's best qualities!”

“Then we will take our leave first and report the results of the prophecy to His Majesty the King.”

“Yes, thank you all.”

The nobles gradually dispersed, leaving only Morina standing in place, gazing at the clear sky.

Muttering, “What is the identity of that Demon King, why is prophecy completely ineffective against it…”

Just as Morina was racking her brains, suddenly, the Book of Prophecy placed on the table seemed to be blown by the wind, quickly turning pages.

“This is?”

Morina immediately came to the Book of Prophecy and carefully examined it.

She saw golden words beginning to be written on a certain page of the Book of Prophecy.

“Prophecy! A prophecy about the Demon King!”

Morina showed an uncontrollable joy when she saw the words written in the Book of Prophecy.

She poured her lifelong learning into divination magic, finally!

She received a reward!

“I want to see!”

Morina reached out and picked up the thick red-framed glasses placed on the table, staring intently at the Book of Prophecy, and said, “What on earth are you!”

And on the Book of Prophecy, only a few scattered words appeared.

[The Demon King has successfully revived the Succubus Empress.]

However, these simple 11 words caused a look of extreme horror to appear on Morina's face.

“How could this be…”

Morina staggered back a few steps, her voice trembling, “Clearly only a few days have passed since my father's prophecy, and that new Demon King has already successfully revived the Succubus Empress?”

“The terror of the Demon King's power! Far exceeds my understanding!”

“I must quickly report this to His Majesty the King!”

… …

“Are you talking about Sister Iris? She came to the monastery yesterday.” Yulissa smiled and explained to Xia En, “She wants to join the monastery in order to gain the protection of the gods, and I agreed.”

“Oh, so that's how it is.”

Xia En looked at Iris, who was holding a broom and cleaning.

Although her methods were somewhat too simple, she had at least successfully taken the first step.

Worthy of encouragement!

“However ~”

Yulissa continued, “This child seems to be a little shy.”

“Shy?”

Xia En was stunned for two seconds upon hearing this.

The Succubus Empress… shy?

How come he didn't feel it?

“Yes ~”

Yulissa nodded slightly and explained, “Whether she is with me, or with Ello and Ellie, this child seems shy and bashful, and her speech becomes stuttering.”

“Is… is that so?”

Xia En looked at Iris in surprise, wondering, could this be Iris's tactic?

“Speaking of which ~”

Yulissa smiled and looked at Xia En, “Mr. Xia En, you have been coming to the monastery for three consecutive days. Even the believers of the Light Church rarely perform three days of nun's prayer in a row, you wouldn't…”

“I…”

Xia En felt something was wrong, had he been discovered?

But nun's prayer is really great!

He had just become the Demon King and was under tremendous pressure, his nerves were tense.

And because of condensing the Demon King Crystal, his magic power was empty and his body was exhausted.

And the nun's prayer can eliminate fatigue, replenish energy, and accelerate the recovery of magic power.

Not to mention three consecutive days, he could come for a week in a row, no problem!

And before Xia En could answer, Yulissa tightly grasped his hands, the soft touch instantly transmitted through his fingertips to his brain.

As well as that refreshing fragrance.

Yulissa said gently, “Even if you are unwilling to say it clearly, I understand ~ you are a devout believer! A loyal pursuer of the Goddess of Light! But due to some reasons, you cannot join the church and can only pursue your faith in this way!”

“Am I right?”

“You… you're right!”
