First, the Infinite Dragon God Orpheus got serious, and his earth-shattering power made him feel for the first time how insignificant and powerless he was as a demon king.
Immediately afterwards, the forbidden being who was thought to have perished in the Holy War, the God of the Bible, appeared alive before them as a subordinate.
This series of shocks has completely shattered the worldview he has cultivated for thousands of years.
He, Lucifer, the Demon King and ruler of the underworld, was now like a helpless spectator, forced to watch two battles of gods.
He opened his mouth, trying to respond with his best diplomatic language, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't utter a single word.
"Beautiful! Absolutely stunning!"
Instead, it was Seraphru beside him who broke the awkward silence with a scream that was almost deafening.
She clutched her chest with both hands, her beautiful face a mixture of fear and inexplicable excitement.
"This feeling! It's like dancing wildly on the edge of death! It's so exciting!"
"However!" She abruptly changed the subject, waving her hands frantically at Zhou Ye, her face on the verge of tears. "Could you... please, please, don't let this kind of terrifying thing happen again!"
"My heart can't take it!"
Sazex's face twitched as he looked at Seraflu, who spoke her mind without any regard for the occasion.
But he must also admit that Seraphroud spoke his mind.
Any one of the events that happened today, taken individually, would be enough to overturn the entire order of the Three Realms.
And now, they have happened one after another in just one hour.
What will happen tomorrow?
Will the sun rise in the west? Or will monsters from hell crawl out and throw a party?
They no longer dare to think about it.
Zhou Ye simply waved his hand impatiently at Seraph's genuine outpouring of emotion.
"Alright, alright, enough of this nonsense."
He stepped forward, surveyed the ruins that could no longer be called "ground," and then issued his orders in an unquestionable tone.
"First, repair the surrounding terrain so that ordinary people don't see this mess."
"Second, sign the contracts that should be signed."
"Third, once everyone has adjusted their mindset and can accept reality, we can discuss the next steps."
His words were simple and direct, yet filled with an unyielding authority.
Restoring the terrain is a matter of course.
Adjusting their mindset is what they need most right now.
but……
"Signing a contract?"
Sazex keenly caught the word, and his "reason" was once again sharply plucked.
"Helena also felt there was no problem with the previous provisional peace treaty."
Helena opened her lips and said:
"Yes, I think it's fine too. The new era requires a new way of life, and I'm not some old-fashioned person who can't keep up with the times."
Then Zhou Ye looked at the White Dragon Emperor Vali Lucifer. Others might not know, but he did: a member of the old Demon King's faction, and the captain of the Calamity Brigade Vali Team.
Despite her earlier loss of composure, she was also the quickest to adjust her mindset, acting like a pure observer, recording everything that defied common sense.
"Vali," Zhou Ye spoke, his tone as casual as if addressing a senior. "What's your choice?"
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Vali.
Both Sazex and Azazel were curious about how this unruly young man, who had inherited the name of "the former Demon King Lucifer," would respond to this terrifying man.
To resist? To surrender? Or to flee?
After all, people sent by the old Demon King had come out to court death, so none of the old foxes present believed that Vali was innocent, but they all tacitly refrained from saying so.
However, what Vali said next made his intentions clear to everyone present.
“But…” He paused, a hint of pleading appearing on his face for the first time. “The Albion within me has developed some unstable cracks in its power core due to the impact just now.”
"Could she... be like Draig, not some mechanical dragon body, but a genuine dragon body?"
He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already very clear.
He was asking Zhou Ye for help on behalf of his partner, the legendary Celestial Dragon, the White Dragon Emperor Albion.
This is an extremely smart choice.
He didn't ask for anything for himself, but instead humbled himself to give his partner a new lease on life.
This is both a test and a disguised gesture of goodwill.
[Walli, your choice was right...]
Albion, residing within the God Destroyer, conveys his identification to his host through his weakened soul.
Its pride as a celestial dragon was shattered the moment Zhou Ye devoured Orpheus's dragon breath.
In the face of such a being that transcends all norms, so-called hostility is meaningless.
The wisest course of action is to find a way to coexist, or even to profit from, the path that leads to the best outcome.
Zhou Ye looked at Wali with great interest.
"can."
Zhou Ye's answer was concise and to the point.
Chapter 239 What the hell?
Zhou Ye's words of victory were like a thunderclap, striking the silent battlefield.
Won.
He really won.
They defeated the monster that represented "infinity" in a way that no one could understand or even imagine.
mascot.
Room and board are provided, but there is no salary.
These words echoed in the minds of Sazex, Azazel, and others, giving them a strong sense of unreality.
Is something wrong with this world?
Orpheus, transformed into a dragon, hovered silently in mid-air.
For the first time, her destructive purple dragon eyes lost focus, reflecting only pure bewilderment and confusion.
She looked down at her dragon claw, which had gathered terrifying power.
She looked up again and saw the man patting his belly, looking savoring the moment, and even letting out a burp.
She couldn't understand.
Her power is "limitless".
How could it be "swallowed"?
How could her attack, which was powerful enough to reduce the world to nothingness, become a "feast" in the other party's mouth?
Wow.
The red dragon scales covering her body receded like a tide.
The ferocious dragon horns and enormous dragon wings slowly dissipated.
The terrifying pressure that had made the whole world feel suffocated vanished.
She transformed back into the exquisitely beautiful, doll-like girl in her gothic Lolita dress.
This process, calm and swift, demonstrated her absolute control over her own power.
Orpheus floated down to the ground, her feet landing softly without making a sound.
She looked at Zhou Ye, whose face remained unchanged for years, but the words he spoke stunned everyone.
"I reject."
Three words, clear and simple, yet resounding.
Before the winner, Zhou Ye, could speak, the loser, Orpheus, changed his mind.
"what?"
Drag was the first to object. She put her hands on her hips, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and instantly bristled.
"Hey! You little brat! Are you cheating?!"
"Our boss defeated you fair and square! Three moves! He didn't even flinch! You promised to be a mascot! You're the Infinite Dragon God, how can you go back on your word!"
Orpheus didn't even glance at the excited Draig.
Her gaze remained fixed on Zhou Ye.
She tilted her head, seemingly organizing her thoughts, and earnestly explained in her ethereal tone.
"You are strong."
"Even stronger than that guy named Brahma."
"But I can't go with you yet."
She stretched out her small hand and pointed in a certain direction in the void, a place of silence beyond the world, a place she had always longed to return to.
"My home has not been taken back yet."
"I need quiet."
After speaking, she looked at Zhou Ye again, her purple pupils sparkling with an unprecedented brilliance—the light of a hunter who had found a new target.
"Wait until I get it home."
