Even the Demon King is worrying about another world today.

Chidoo was barely containing his excitement. Not long ago, he was the king of a small kingdom, forced to submit to the oppression of the empire. Gaining such power was completely unexpected.

He clasped his hands together and pressed his forehead against the back of his hands. Qido knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Allah."

Seeing the lord of the first floor perform such a solemn ceremony, Akman and Renee had no more complaints.

“I’ll acknowledge you for now, young soul.” Akman winked at Qido. “I am the lord of the eighth level, the Demon’s Lair, the Succubus Akman.”

“…Rennie Neal, the administrator of the Ninth Floor.” Rennie’s wings fluttered, and unlike Akman, she faced Chidor with a blank expression.

When his seniors introduced themselves, Cheetos nodded frantically in agreement.

Hmm... very

Good, very good. You must get along well with my subordinates!

Demon King Mikayi expressed his satisfaction.

"Seated on the throne in the great hall is the ruler of the entire world, the supreme and great God..."

"Your Majesty Mikayi Garan!"

An angel and a demon, both with their arms outstretched, exaggeratedly introduced the person on the throne to Chido.

Hey, hey, hey... I don't need to introduce myself, right? Besides, the surname Jialan no longer exists.

Seeing Mumu nod in agreement, Mikayi felt the situation become awkward.

"Ahem." Mikayi cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of which, I'm not entirely at ease leaving you alone back with Zorro. It seems things are in chaos back in the Zorro Kingdom. Here are two loyal subordinates for you."

Then, the Demon King's voice resounded throughout Hell. In Hell, all living beings raised their heads.

"Sestim, come to the ninth floor."

The second level of hell is dominated by forests, and the air is filled with deadly toxins.

A large spider was crawling on the ground, gnawing on something, when it suddenly looked up after hearing the voices coming from above.

Eight spider legs spread out, and the upper body of the Insect Queen Sestiem is that of a woman.

A terrifying laugh escaped her throat as the insect queen accelerated toward the ninth underground level.

"Thank you so much, Allah. What do I need to do...?"

"Govern your country well."

"Huh?! That's all?!" Qi Duo was caught off guard, thinking he was about to be given terrifying missions like 'invading the Elf Fortress', 'attacking the Dragon Fortress', or 'destroying the Empire'.

"Hmm... If I had to go into detail, it would be: maintaining the current state of species on the continent of Lolan, preserving the balance between forces, preventing wars, protecting world peace... something like that," Mikayi said.

Hey...?! Wait a minute! You're the Demon King, right?! You're the Demon King, right?! Why do these lines feel like they shouldn't be coming from a Demon King?!?

Even though he was shocked inside, Cheetos nodded hesitantly.

Seeing Qiduo's wooden-like reaction, Mikayi became somewhat worried.

Although the task was assigned to this 'local,' why does this guy seem like a bit of a simpleton?

Is this person okay? Is he really capable?

"But, Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Zorro is just a very small country. Even if I, as the king of the Kingdom of Zorro, went there in person, I probably wouldn't be able to stop a war... In the human territories, the vast majority of countries look down on a small country like Zorro."

Hmm...that makes sense.

Only when one becomes strong can one's words carry weight on the continent. Otherwise, the idea of ​​'protecting the world' is just empty talk.

Mikayi pondered deeply.

However, this kind of thing is really not his forte. If he could sort these things out, he wouldn't have been a failed ruler.

With a hint of frustration, Mikayi ruffled his hair and sighed, "Well, I won't concern myself with these matters. You can strengthen Zorro slightly without affecting the world's balance. Think it over yourself."

"Yes!" Cheetos replied firmly.

A series of sparse sounds entered the main hall. The person moved quickly enough to arrive beneath the hall in the blink of an eye.

“The Most High God. The Mother of Insects, Sestiem, is here to await your command.”

Having eight spear-like legs prevented Sethm from kneeling; she bowed her head and bent over to express her respect for the Demon King.

Sethim's nose twitched as he caught a familiar scent.

“This is… wait, no, it’s not Neil Hawke.”

“Hello, Miss Sestime…” Is she a Miss? This guy is a Miss! Qido’s voice was clearly lacking in confidence. “I am Qido Zorro, also known as the Three-Eyed Black Dragon Neil Hawke.”

"Hello, I am Sestiem, the Queen of the Poisonous Forest."

Sethim's sharp eyes were fixed on Chido. The aura of being resurrected by dark magic still lingered around Chido, and Sethim basically understood the current situation. Since it was the Demon Lord's decision, she wouldn't interfere.

Faced with this insect queen who was half insect and half human, Qiduo felt that his knowledge had increased and his mental fortitude had improved.

However, it seems that Miss Insect Queen is at least a bit friendlier than Miss Angel and Miss Demon... even though she doesn't look very friendly.

037 The Princess Married to a Foreign Land

“Speaking of which, you two are practically neighbors,” Mikayi said, sitting on his throne with one hand supporting his chin, looking somewhat languid. “One of you is the lord of the first level, and the other is the lord of the second level.”

The two nodded in agreement. Qiduo couldn't help but glance at the insect queen a few more times, making a lasting impression on this neighbor.

“Sethim, bring your daughters in.”

"Yes," Sethim replied, clapping his hands towards the gates of the ninth level of Hell. "Come in, my goodies."

A row of girls dressed as maids walked in. The line was so large that it stretched from the main entrance to the steps at the Demon King's feet.

The Demon King sat on the throne, and the maids appeared extremely timid. They kept their heads down, staring intently at the floor tiles beneath their feet, none daring to look up.

"Two maids will be sent to accompany the Three-Eyed Black Dragon to the human kingdom. Qiduo,"

"You choose," the Demon King said.

After hearing the Demon King's words, Chido declared that even if you let me choose, I still...

While this long row of girls is undeniably cute, should we really use the word "oddly shaped" instead...?

All girls possess insect-like characteristics, such as antennae on their foreheads, scales on their backs, hard shells, two compound eyes like insects, and some even have long, thin legs like insects. If you look closely, you can even see barbs on their legs.

“Don’t worry, Neil Hawk.” Sethim seemed to sense Chido’s melancholy. “Before you leave, I will cast a spell on them to conceal their insect-like features.”

“That’s a huge help, Miss Sethim!” Cheetos replied with great gratitude.

Cheetos looked around and finally fixed his gaze on two red-haired maids who looked alike.

Cheetos said decisively, "It's the two of them."

Wow...it's two little girls. Cheetos's taste is pretty good, isn't it?

As Mikayi was thinking this, he subconsciously looked at Renee, who happened to be looking at him as well.

The two looked at each other, then suddenly looked away.

and many more! ?

Mikayi was horrified by his own reaction.

What am I, the Demon King, panicking about?!

But speaking of which, isn't Renee even smaller than she was ten thousand years ago?!

"Lord Nielhawk... I... I'm Tia, and this is my sister Tina. Please... please take care of me in the future," the red-haired girl said timidly.

Wow, two sisters! Cheetos is truly enviable. Come to think of it, none of my subordinates have sisters. Wouldn't it be quite interesting to be surrounded by older and younger sisters?

Mikayi sat on his throne, chin in hand, watching the scene unfold.

Whether it was because the Demon King was staring at them or not, Tina and Tia's faces suddenly became hot.

Wow, she's shy. That's kind of cute... Wait, why is Renee staring at me so menacingly?!

The Demon King caught a glimpse of the tiny six-winged angel out of the corner of his eye, and guiltily averted his gaze.

Renee, Renee's murderous intent is practically overflowing the screen!!

With two inward groans, Mikayi immediately interrupted this talent show-like scene.

"Choose your choice and then step aside, Queen Sestilm."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Supreme Demon King." Sethim replied respectfully, then turned and led the remaining daughters away. "Back to work, little girls, don't be lazy today."

"Yes, Mother!" The neat, childlike voices echoed in the hall, and the group quickly left.

It's getting dark...

Mikayi's gaze pierced through hell, reaching the high-hanging bright moon.

"Everyone, please get ready to welcome our princess."

-

At the north gate of Ais's main city, a large army was escorting a carriage.

This was the first time the heavily fortified Ais Federation had opened its city gates at midnight.

The roads outside the city were bumpy and potholed, making the carriage jolt along.

Ariel and Elisa sat quietly, without saying a word the whole way.

Faced with the unanimous decision of the elder councilors and Queen Salia, the two princesses did try to resist, but their resistance was futile.

Ariel panicked, her fingers trembling as she gripped the hem of her skirt.

The carriage stopped.

Just as Mikayi had said, a dark portal was open not far from the north gate.

The frame of the magic door was made of bones from some unknown species, with a dark vortex spinning in the center. It was eerie and terrifying.

Hell...that's hell...

Ariel clutched her sleeve, trembling uncontrollably.

“Lord Mikayi can be considered a hero in a way, so why are you so afraid of leaving with a hero?” said one of the elder councilors who came to escort him.

“You…you don’t understand anything…” As Ariel was pushed closer and closer to the portal, she was gripped by desperate panic. She wanted to escape, but she had no chance of running away from these people.

"Alright, let's not keep that gentleman waiting any longer."

Fearing that the two princesses would delay the hero, the elder urged them on.
