After all, in the perception of most demons, this is how a demon king should behave. Even a human emperor would not allow anyone to resist his rule on his territory, let alone the demons who rely on absolute violence to speak.
Now, the problem becomes very simple for the demons.
The new demon king has already announced his identity, so you just have to make your choice and don't try to stay out of it.
The demons are different from humans. They are all soldiers. Moreover, as a demon king, he must do one thing...
...Invade the main continent!
To do this, it is naturally necessary to mobilize the power of the entire demon clan. What's more, if there are disobedient people at that time, while we are fighting to the death on the front line, and he is holding you back behind your back, wouldn't that make him a big idiot?
The same thing was done once by the three Demon Generals several years ago. At that time, almost all the demons in the Demon Realm surrendered to the three Demon Generals. Of course, there were some exceptions. After all, the Demon Generals could not do as well as the Demon King.
But no matter what, this time is different from last time.
Livi would not allow herself to have disobedient demons under her control. The premise for her to use the power of the demons was that these demons must be 100% under her control, otherwise she would never be able to trust the demons.
After issuing this explosive announcement, Livi stopped caring about it. She believed that most of the demons would choose to surrender obediently.
After all, the reputation of the Demon King is here. In the past, Livi was always looked down upon because of her identity as a succubus, but now it is different. She is the Demon King...
...As long as she is the Demon King, it doesn't matter what race she is. The Demon King can be separated and become a separate entity.
Relying on this reputation, it is enough to make the demons who originally looked down on her change their minds. As for the really disobedient troublemakers, just leave it to Dulahan and others to deal with them.
As for Livi herself, she naturally had to start preparing for the second step.
That is, she wanted to spread the Mark of Submission over a large area. Naturally, it was impossible to subdue them one by one like before. That would be too inefficient.
If one wants to release the Seal of Submission on a large scale, a ritual is needed to spread single-target magic into AOE. Although Livi has dabbled in this, she has never used it much in the past, so she needs to study it carefully.
In this regard, it is naturally Star's turn to step forward.
The huge barrier she had set up in the southern border used similar methods and techniques, but this time Livi would set up a larger area of influence.
But after all, Sta is a barrier that needs to be maintained for a long time, and Livi only needs to be able to spread this magic throughout the Demon Realm at the moment of casting the Mark of Submission.
The prerequisite for this is the power in the extraordinary realm, which Livi has now achieved.
Then the conditions are met, and the last thing to do is to complete the relevant rituals. The reason why these demons are given a month to choose is because the suitable day chosen by Livi is one month later.
At that time, the Demon Realm will usher in a full moon night...
What Livi needs to do is to use the full moon as a medium to instantly cover the entire Demon Realm with her Seal of Submission...
This naturally requires a lot of preliminary preparation, so Livi will naturally make use of this month's time.
Apart from that, there are two pieces of bad news.
The first piece of bad news was that the seedlings that Livi had planted before were finally wiped out, leaving Livi very helpless.
...And the second bad news is that Star's research on the Demon King's Mark has completely reached a bottleneck and he has basically no clue anymore.
To be honest, although Livi was mentally prepared for these two pieces of news, she was still very helpless when they really happened in front of her.
After all, these two pieces of news meant that many of Livi's attempts would fail.
Putting aside the Demon King's Mark, conducting planting experiments in the Demon Realm is crucial to Livi because she needs to find a way to solve the important productivity problem.
After all, the foundation of the empire's current system stems from backward productivity. If this problem is not solved, even if the entire empire is uprooted, ordinary people still cannot expect to live a good life.
This is something that must be solved no matter what.
And this is also Livi's biggest headache...
Chapter 81: The Image of the Housegirl Lich is Gradually Destroying
If, in order for ten people to be happy, one person needs to be sacrificed as a beast of burden, then this social structure is, in a sense, a very ideal utopia.
The current situation in the empire is probably ten times worse than this. Ten people have to be sacrificed as cattle and laborers to ensure the affluent life of a noble lord.
This was even the most conservative calculation. Livi didn't want to be too rude, but according to the intelligence she had previously obtained, the empire was a place where 1% or even 1% of the people controlled 99% of the wealth and power...
...No matter how the remaining people are distributed, the final result will be that they will live in purgatory.
Unless the productivity of the empire is strong enough that... 1% of the wealth is enough to support 99% of the empire's population, then although this distribution ratio is still extremely unreasonable, at least the people can still live and work in peace.
Of course, this is definitely impossible. The empire does not have such a mythical productivity. The final result is just as I said...
...For ordinary people, this is a living hell on earth!
But the empire was smart, or rather, Emperor Saint Laurent who originally founded the empire was smart. He distributed the conflicts layer by layer, and made this social model possible through the five major dependent states and a complex aristocratic system in which the big fish eat the small fish.
According to the information Livi has at the moment, the brave warriors and the demon kings might also be part of the empire's maintenance system. The empire needs to rely on the invasion of demons to trigger wars, thereby appropriately reducing redundant populations and creating demand through wars.
By the way, we can also share the internal conflicts of the country through the common enemy of "Demons"...
How to say this method...
...Apart from the rather inhumane and beastly nature of it, it is indeed something genuine that has allowed the empire to stand for a thousand years.
Of course, Li Wei would not allow this order to continue to exist, but if she wanted to break it, she had to increase productivity, otherwise the result would be the same...
...The best outcome is that no one can live a happy life and everyone becomes poor together.
This means there is no more exploitative aristocracy, but life for ordinary people has not necessarily become better as a result.
This result is definitely unacceptable to Li Wei...
The most fundamental change is to ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing. As for spiritual development, we should wait until people are no longer starving to death...
For this reason, Livi chose to conduct the experiment in the Demon Realm, because if things could be successfully grown in a ghost place like the Demon Realm, then other problems would naturally be solved.
However, she sprained her ankle the first step she took. Livi knew that things would not be smooth sailing, but she still felt a little disappointed.
"Forget it, let's go check on that guy first..."
The "that guy" that Livi mentioned was naturally the protagonist of the second bad news, theoretically the holder of the true Demon King's Mark, the tiefling boy Equio...
Before that, Livi had already stripped away the concept of the demon king in him by modifying the divine arts...
...Of course, Livi didn't dare to destroy the entire magic directly. After all, who knows what would happen to the things inside if they were no longer restrained by the magic.
Naturally, Livi wouldn't dare to act rashly until she was completely sure.
Moreover, this matter at least concerns the holy marks on his body.
So, what new concept did Livy choose to give Equio?
Livi came to the underground palace of the Demon King's Castle, because the above-ground part of the Demon King's Castle had been almost demolished by Livi and Dullahan's.
Of course, Dullahan was quite critical of this. According to her, Livi was primarily responsible...
...Although Dullahan himself also wanted to destroy the Demon King's Castle and say goodbye to his past self.
But in the end, most of the Demon King's Castle was destroyed by Livi.
All in all, the Demon King's Castle is now ruined, and it is difficult to rebuild due to lack of materials.
"Hey, I suggest!"
As soon as Star heard that reconstruction would be difficult, her eyes lit up and she raised her hand to express her proposal, but Livi immediately rejected her.
"Don't even think about it..."
"I haven't told you my plan yet!"
"What else can you do?"
"Well……"
This one sentence choked Star, and then nothing happened, and the matter was put aside.
Fortunately, the underground palace could be used just fine, and Livi herself didn't have any concerns about it.
After that, Livi allocated a room in the underground palace to Star as a laboratory, and Star temporarily moved from the southern border to the underground palace of the Demon King's City.
Anyway, as she said, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. She had set up hiding places all over the Demon Realm. This homebody girl used the word "hide" to the fullest extent.
Now, Mava and Dullahan are training goblins there. Livi also taught Dullahan the battle formation, which was naturally the complete version of the battle formation. Dullahan was amazed after just a rough glance over it, and is now studying it day and night.
In her words, the inventor of the battle formation must be an extremely talented general and a competent ruler. This thing is simply a genius creation that takes advantage of every possible point. Anyone with a little bit of humanity would not be able to think of such a vicious thing.
Livi has a different opinion on this. After all, the battle formation can be understood from both sides. You can understand that it squeezes the last bit of value out of ordinary soldiers, but you can also understand that it allows weak beings to gather together and unleash a power that surpasses that of the strong.
Of course, considering that the creator of the battle formation was Emperor Saint Laurent, Livi felt...
...Well, both are possible.
It is true that Emperor Saint Laurent did many inhumane things, but he also unified the continent and created a great cause, and he also made many positive contributions. After all, living people cannot be either black or white, and Livi was too lazy to evaluate an antique who had been dead for almost a thousand years.
Anyway, Mava and Dullahan were training in battle formations, and Livy, with Anekos in her pocket, made her way to Star's underground palace research room.
It was still early at this time. Li Wei knocked on the door, but found that no one in the laboratory responded...
"..."
Livi remained calm and kicked the locked door open.
"Hey, who?!"
Then, Livi heard a panicked sound, and saw a thing that barely looked like a human lying on a sofa in the laboratory. It shook twice and fell off the sofa.
The black-haired stay-at-home girl, whose hair had started to get tangled because she hadn't taken a shower for several days, had a pale face that looked malnourished. She struggled to see the person coming clearly, and then she showed a relieved expression.
"What? It's Princess Livi. You scared me~"
"..."
Livi's eyes swept over her. The messy hair, the black robe tied inside out, and the pair of pantyhose with complex gradient colors all made Livi stand in awe.
This demon general who originally looked like a Frankenstein monster has already gone in the direction of the damp otaku girl and will never come back!
Chapter 82: The Girl Who Smells Like Salted Fish
Livi also didn't expect that the Demon General, who was once notorious throughout the Demon Realm, would now go in the direction of the damp house girl and never come back.
Logically speaking, becoming a stay-at-home girl is not a big problem. After all, Star's original lifestyle is similar to that of a stay-at-home girl. She stays at home all day long and never sees the sun. She stays in the laboratory and magic tower to study how to make herself immortal.
But no matter what, it's still quite a headache to see it in its current state.
"Can't you clean up your appearance a little bit?"
Although Livi asked that, Star didn't seem to care at all. To be honest, Livi could tolerate the other Livies, but she could only stand in awe of the pair of gradient-colored pantyhose.
Because in Livi's memory, that thing seemed to be a solid color, that is to say, she used her own ability to make it a gradient color.
Just thinking about how much essence was brewing in this, Livi felt a headache coming on.
However, Star scratched his hair without caring at all, "Hehe, actually this look is rated very highly in certain groups, maybe it can be sold for a good price~"
"I bought these pantyhose that taste almost like salted fish. Are you going to use them to pickle pickles or make tea?"
"Ah, or... as a spellcasting material?"
"...Forget it. I'm not here to discuss species XP diversity with you today."
After all, there are beast-eared lolita and elf big sisters in the other world, and there are also people who want to kill dragons all day long? And they are the real ones.
If you let the opponent cast a Transfiguration spell, I will consider you as sacrificing yourself for the study of racial integration.
Livvy covered her head and threw away the messy thoughts in her mind, while Star calmly stood up, took two steps and said "Oops".
Her limbs were stiff from lying down for too long, so she fell flat on her face.
But Star didn't care. He just lay on the ground and closed his eyes. Two seconds later, a rustling sound came from the next room.
A few minutes later, a clean and fresh-looking girl, but with a very pale face, pushed the door and walked out.
"...Okay, I take that back."
Looking at the girl's body on the ground, which had begun to emit the smell of salted fish and was gradually losing temperature, Livi understood the reason.
Star has prepared many spare bodies for herself, so I'm afraid that for her, these bodies are accessories that can be replaced anytime and anywhere.
If something gets dirty or torn, just replace it. Just like when Livi was still a hero, the princess never had dirty clothes and she only wore the same outfit once.
Even those ordinary nobles, who could not live as extravagantly as the princess, had no concept of washing clothes. When they got dirty, they would just throw them away and replace them with new ones. Why wash them? Why wash them!
This Star is obviously even more extreme than them. Not only are her clothes disposable, but her body is disposable as well, and she throws it away after use without hesitation.
