Chapter 320: Shocking some big shots
"It seems my beautiful wife causes... trouble for lesser beings," Dante said, smiling as he observed the reaction to Lilith's arrival. But soon after... "Be more gentle, yes?" he whispered in her ear, making her whole body tremble. It was the first time she had felt such excitement.
When the maid narrator had said 'Lilith Scarlet,' her body was already at its peak, but Dante saying 'My beautiful wife'... that hit her weak heart.
"Y-Yes, Darling," she replied, lowering her aura, which, compared to these beings, was so overwhelming that her mere presence intimidated them. Even though she had lost part of her Demonic Divinity upon passing through Hell's gate, Lilith was still the strongest being in that room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Dante held her hand, giving confidence to the woman, who was thrilled to be with him. Of course, he already knew...
'She's so cute,' he thought. It was hard to understand how he could find the most demonic woman in the world cute, not ironically.
"It seems we have some big names here today," Dante said, looking at everyone. His eyes intercepted every little emotion, every slight trace of hesitation, every small sign of fear, hatred, and anger. "So cute," he said again, letting his thoughts slip out.
"Come on, Dante, have a seat," Vlad, who had taken the lead of this convention, said, breaking the awkward silence of the other beings around the round table.
"Of course," he agreed, firmly holding Lilith's hand and guiding her to her seat like a true gentleman...
The reaction of the women around... could not be different. While Dante was doing this...
'Killing a Demon Goddess must be easy...' Valentina muttered. She accepted Dante's relationships but couldn't tolerate this particular woman. It was because of the "gifts" she gave Dante that he was eradicated by fate for breaking the "balance" during the Blood Armageddon in Kryoris.
The others remained quiet, waiting for the topics Vlad wanted to bring up... However...
"First, the Demonic Invasion is not something Lilith was involved in; quite the opposite, she was fighting alone to try to stop it," Dante said, taking Vlad's place before he could even start speaking.
"So, you're saying the Demon Empress was trying to save the world?" There was no time for an explanation; the woman who had just learned about all of this, Akemi, said smiling, almost provoking Dante... "Save the world?" Dante asked, smiling. "And why would she save a world that neglected her and banished her to Hell?" Dante questioned, smiling.
"So, she was fighting against whoever it was and decided to come to Umbral for no reason?" The next to question was Merion, the wife of King Thoren.
"Lilith." Dante didn't want to waste time with these useless conversations; in a few seconds, he had already figured it out.
'Akemi, I understand, but these bitches looking at me... are testing me.' He thought, seeing that it wasn't just Merion who was looking at him with a strange smile. All the women he didn't really know were in the same situation, especially one who caught his attention even more...
'Queen of Beasts... I read a lot about you, but I didn't expect you to be so... blessed with that body.' Dante murmured, thinking about the Beast woman in front of him, though not just her, of course... 'The strongest in Kryoris was one of the 'heirs'... Well, that was obvious,' he thought.
At Dante's call, Lilith stood up and pointed her hand toward the center of the table, where a black, putrid energy emerged, creating a kind of strange landscape, like a hologram made of pure miasma.
"I don't care about any of you, and as far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't worry at all about this shitty world you live in," she said, sounding a bit arrogant, but she had the right to. The remnants of the world's creation had expelled her simply because she didn't want to follow idiotic rules that were clearly against her existence.
"But I still have a goal to achieve, so this world cannot be destroyed, much less dominated by the man I hate most in this entire world." Lilith said, her blood-red eyes gleaming just at the thought of Lucifer dominating the world and considering himself the Emperor of Everything.
"That still doesn't justify your presence here, Lady Lilith," Katarina, who had been paying particular attention to Dante, interrupted.
"Oh, of course, I also wanted to have a competent husband again, that's all." Lilith shrugged, and everyone immediately looked at Dante...
'How did he manage to attract the interest of the DEMON GODDESS?!' Everyone looked at Dante with that expression...
Cough!
"Well, back to the point," Dante said, trying to regain everyone's attention while searching for a simple way to explain it to these beings... Well, there wasn't much he could say; anything would be terrifying.
"During the invasion, I destroyed the main branch of Qliphoth, as you all know." Dante brought the focus back to what everyone really wanted to hear. "Initially, I thought, 'Wow, it's just a big tree.' But it's not, and you must have realized by now the insane number of demons that have emerged from the trees that appeared in some realms," Dante said, and now he had everyone's full attention."
"The problem isn't really Lucifer or the Demon Kings; they're weak. I fought several of them at once and defeated them easily. The real problem is something else… It's the Negative World Tree, which is helping Lucifer in his war effort… something that, honestly, I don't know why." Dante said, while everyone stared at him wide-eyed.
"What do you mean you defeated all of them?!" It was Rhiannon who spoke, in shock, barely registering the rest of the information. She only heard, 'I beat all the Demon Kings by myself!' And for her, that was enough… "I want to fight him!!!!" She screamed internally, looking at him like an object of possession, her eyes completely wild. 'Another crazy one,' Dante thought before continuing to speak.
"Yes, all of them. Well, most of them, it seems some weren't there? I don't remember, I just beat them up." Dante said casually… well, it was the truth, he didn't do anything special and almost killed all of them.
'Irrational!' They all thought together, sensing that he really didn't care!
"What are your plans to deal with this? As the ruler of Hell, the way you present yourself makes the entire invasion your fault for not controlling your 'Nation,' Demon King," Alice questioned, seeing how Dante seemed indifferent to the consequences… She had just thrown gasoline on the fire.
"Well, I'll just resolve my pending issues in this world before descending to Hell to take down the Mischievous World Tree that's daring to mess with my world." Dante responded confidently, ignoring the way Alice spoke to him. They didn't have any direct animosity, even though Dante knew through Morgana that her mother had always been against their marriage…
"And how do you plan to do that?" Alice asked, genuinely interested in the Demon World. Studying demon magic would be fascinating for her, as she knew so little about other dimensions.
"How else would I do it? I'll just go down there and take her for myself, like I've done with all the women I've wanted. She's just being rebellious," Dante shrugged.
'Irrational!' Everyone thought together again, realizing he truly didn't care about such a serious situation!
"So, your plan is to go to Hell and persuade her until she falls in love with you?" Dante heard a voice, "Tsk, what a ridiculous thing. What kind of woman would fall in love with a man like you?" Elara, the Queen of the Vulcans, said disdainfully…
Well… she quickly felt a shiver down her spine when… Valentina, Morgana, Voralith, Sara, Aldria, Lilith, and even Lyrianna looked at her as if they were ready to kill her for just that one comment.
"…" Elara fell silent.
"You're right, aren't you? We're talking about a World Tree, she would never yield to something as mundane as a simple desire like lust…" Dante muttered as he raised a glowing, rose-tinted sphere of light… "Imagine that." Dante said, tossing the ball in Elara's direction, who didn't even have time to dodge.
"!!!" She felt her whole body tremble as something tingled in her lower parts…
"How cute." Dante said, and Elara's face quickly turned red… "Y-Y-Y-You! S-S-Stop what you're doing!" Elara… the great wyvern-riding warrior… was completely red as she felt a perverted tingling between her legs…
"See? It's not difficult. But you're right! I can't just cast Lust directly onto a World Tree, especially not a being of such gigantic caliber, right?" Dante said as he got comfortable, just before his bracelet transformed...
Into a woman, a Dryad, perfectly sculpted as if by the eyes of God himself… everyone watched in awe as this happened, and...
"Oh… I must have forgotten, my apologies. I brought an extra guest... You can call her Fey." Dante said, smiling as the woman hid in his lap, embarrassed to appear in such an exposed place!
Everyone was shocked; none of them had sensed such a being nearby, nor had they perceived her existence!
Dante just laughed.
"What? You thought I was here to joke around? I'm being very serious, my dear comrades… I'm only playing with what I can play with. After all, I've already won any fight I enter," Dante said with a mischievous grin as he revealed this to them. Continue your saga on mvl
"Oh, I forgot… This here is Fey Scarlet, the World Tree of Elysium." Dante said, smiling—an eerie smile... One that made almost everyone instinctively step back…
