Even the Demon King is worrying about another world today.

After a moment's consideration, the Queen said, "Neither of my daughters is of marriageable age, and besides... Ais needs to keep one of them to be the future Queen..."

... "

The entire hall fell silent as everyone listened attentively to the Queen's speech.

"Please allow me to think about it some more."

Mikayi smiled at the two princesses, then turned to the Empress and said, "It will take three days to get back to my country from Ais. After safely escorting the two princesses back, I will return, which will take a total of six days. Therefore, I urge Your Majesty to make a decision by today."

Mikayi bowed slightly, performing an elegant greeting: "At midnight today, I will open a portal at the north gate of Ais's main city. The other end of the portal leads to the border of the Ais Federation. That is the farthest distance I can open. If your country is willing to make a deal, please send your princess here. At that time, I will bring our country's most powerful magical artifacts to protect Ais from this demonic invasion."

After saying that, Mikayi didn't linger, and the wind lifted him up again.

"Then I await Your Majesty's good news."

As soon as Mikayi's figure disappeared from sight, the minister knelt at the Empress's feet: "Your Majesty, Ais cannot be without an heir..."

Upon hearing this, the elder councilor retorted loudly, "Ais is about to perish! What do you care about the next generation of heirs?! Are you all fools?"

"Is there any other way...? Post a high bounty now and call on those adventurers..."

"Gathering a large number of adventurers in seven days is difficult enough, and even if they do arrive, they'll definitely run away as soon as they discover the other side is a demon..."

"Sigh... We should have been on guard a month ago when the Lyon army was attacked by unknown creatures. Who knew that after those creatures attacked Lyon, Ais would be next..."

Panic spread amid the discussions.

035 The Lord of the First Level of Hell

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The scalding lava churned at my feet, and the heatwave hit my face.

This is the first level of hell, the Lava Land.

There are no living things in the lava lands, only magic essence products born in the high-density environment of magic essence.

The fire element created bizarre species; those menacing lava monsters were terrifying to look at.

The ruler of the first layer of Hell was killed by the angelic army long ago, and it has been in a state of 'unmanaged' ever since. This has led to monsters running rampant here, attacking indiscriminately.

Akman stomped on the lava monster's head and walked at a leisurely pace.

Teleportation magic is forbidden in the Demon Lord's hell, so Akman had no choice but to walk back.

Finding a corner among the rocks, Akman crouched down furtively.

Holding something in her hand, Akman quietly opened her palm.

In Akman's palm was a drop of bright red blood.

The vibrant droplets of blood flowed with powerful magic; just inhaling a breath of that blood made Akman's body tremble uncontrollably.

"The Demon King's blood..."

Her body was trembling, yet her face was flushed.

With saliva dripping from her slightly open fangs, Akman swallowed the excess saliva in her mouth.

As if savoring some kind of delicacy, he carefully placed the drop of blood into his mouth.

The icy liquid rolled straight down my throat before I even had a chance to taste it.

The coldness attacked from the stomach, instantly engulfing the entire body.

The next moment, Akman's body was unable to move.

It was as if one were imprisoned in millennia-old ice; the biting cold not only affected the body but also the fragile soul.

The soul, eroded by the cold, trembled, teetering on the brink of collapse.

You can't escape it, you can't get rid of it.

By the time Akman realized the danger, it was too late. The demon's pupils gradually dilated.

Suddenly, a large, cold hand patted her shoulder, instantly dispelling the chill in her body.

"You can't control the power of my blood, you greedy little kitten."

Mikayi patted her on the shoulder, pulling Akman back from the brink of collapse.

Akman, realizing what was happening, buckled at the knees and knelt on the ground: "Demon King..."

The Demon King's hands were clearly cold, but the places he touched were burning hot.

Akman's face gradually flushed as she stared intently at the shoes on the Demon King's feet.

It is only natural for demons to worship the Demon King, and Mikayi will not pursue Akman's actions.

His hand was still on Akman's shoulder. Mikayi bent down and said softly, "Let's go back to the ninth floor."

Two figures appeared out of thin air in the vast hall: the black dragon Chido and the six-winged angel Renee knelt down and bowed.

Mikayi calmly walked up the steps and sat on his throne.

"big boss!"

Rene spoke urgently. Although she and the Demon King had agreed to address each other by name in private, this was only in private. Now, with many people present, basic etiquette towards the Demon King could not be changed. "What... what do you mean by wanting to marry a human woman?!"

Akman also looked flustered after hearing Renee's speech.

She couldn't hear anything during the Demon King's negotiations with the humans because it was during her retreat.

Akman immediately raised her head, eagerly waiting for the Demon King to explain.

The black dragon kept its head firmly lowered, staring at the dark floor, not daring to move.

Why does this scene feel a bit awkward...? These two senior ladies seem to have feelings for the Demon King that aren't simple.

Thinking of this, the black dragon stopped.

My mind went blank, and I dared not think any further.

"Oh... I need to explain a little more about this."

With his hands on the armrests, Mikayi briefly explained Ariel's situation.

"That woman! I knew she was no ordinary woman!" Renee exclaimed indignantly, her wings flapping wildly behind her.

"I'll throw that kind of worm into the eighth level of hell, so she can experience the endless cycle of reincarnation in the demon's lair!"

Akman's reaction was no less than Renee's, but because she had to maintain her image in front of the Demon King, she didn't make any extra movements. "How dare she draw her sword against the supreme Demon King! I'll make her taste the torment of the nine levels of hell!"

Sure enough, women can be ruthless when they fight each other...

Mikayi thought to himself.

"I already have a plan. I'll carry it out when they're brought up tonight. Until then, you mustn't make any rash moves," the Demon King said.

"Can the Demon King be so sure that Ais will hand over the two princesses?" The burly black dragon, finally finding an opportunity to interject, boldly asked.

"Whoa!" Akman was startled by the sudden voice beside her. "Neil Hawke has come back to life?!"

"He is Qido Zorro, the king of the human kingdom, who was resurrected by the Demon Lord and placed into the body of the lord of the first level of Hell," Renee explained reluctantly.

"H-hello there." Chido waved its paws and greeted them awkwardly.

"Faced with cowardly humans, let alone asking them to hand over the princess, even if I brought them the empress, they would still hand her over without hesitation." The Demon King's voice came from the hall, and then he added, "Fortunately, I have no interest in that empress."

Renee's cheeks puffed up at a visible speed.

Not interested in the Empress means you're interested in the two princesses?! Demon Lord!!

"But speaking of which," the Demon King's gaze was fixed on the black dragon, "you still haven't learned how to transform into human form?"

"Your Majesty, I...I..."

Chido was speechless, unable to find a reason to explain.

Although you told me about the ability to transform, I've never been a dragon before! I'm really confused!! Your Majesty the Demon King!!

"Compress the magic power within your body to the size of your soul." The Demon King had nothing more to say to this clumsy dragon; since the other party was oblivious, he could only offer a few more pointers.

“Ooh ooh ooh…” The black dragon head nodded vigorously.

Then, as the Demon King had instructed, he frantically compressed the magic power within his body until the magic essence took on the form of a soul.

As the field of vision decreased, the dragon's claws gradually contracted until they formed human hands.

036 Lord of the Second Level of Hell

"Huh?! Huh?!"

It's that simple!

Chido looked at his body over and over. Apart from the fact that his dark green scales had turned black, there was no change in his body compared to before.

If he were a dragon-man before, and he were to return to the Zorro Kingdom like this, wouldn't it just be seen as 'His Majesty Cheetah was struck by black lightning'?

However, what bothered him most was the third eye. Even when he took on a human form, the sensation of this third eye still lingered on his forehead.

He hadn't quite gotten used to the 360-degree field of vision yet, and even felt a little dizzy.

I touched my forehead; it was smooth and even. It was definitely a normal human forehead, without any eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you... do you have a mirror?" Chido asked cautiously.

"Huh?! Who do you think you are, daring to ask the Demon King for a mirror?!"

"Speaking of which, you dragon are way too vain! You're a male, for goodness' sake!"

Ignoring the demon and angel's coordinated attack, Mikael controlled a mirror to float in front of Chido.

As someone who has lived a human life, Mikayi said he can understand such feelings very well.

“Because I really want to see the eyes on my forehead…” Cheeto said with a forced smile. Then he pressed his face against the mirror again.

Oh... there is indeed an eye on the forehead, but it looks more like it was drawn with a pen?

Fortunately, the hair in front of her forehead completely covered it.

“From now on, you have two identities.” Mikayi sat on the highest step, looking down at the people below.

"First: King of the Zorro Kingdom, Cheto Zorro."

"Secondly: The first level administrator, leader, and lord of the 'Boundless Hell' - the Three-Eyed Black Dragon, Neil Hawke."

"As one of the Demon King's nine apostles, you are already second only to him, above all others. Cheetor Zorro."
