In the Demon King Space, the demon blood moon, which symbolized one of the energy sources of the Demon King, was collapsing. With the disintegration of the energy source, the Demon Kings in this area, as well as the Demon Gods and Evil gods above the Demon King, all suffered various degrees of damage.

Bella failed to escape the disaster as well. It was usually alright to bring out the Creator of Light Vianne’s orb. However, when she had taken it out just now, she was attacked by Dark Night Demon King Aggy’s ultimate skill.

The orb had instinctively counterattacked, powerful light energy shining all around like the sun. Bella was the closest and the first Demon king to be wounded.

Fortunately, Bella had responded in a timely manner and immediately took out the Savior’s Great Evil Slaying Sword to defend her chest, blocking many light energy attacks. At present, her mouth was covered with blood, and her chest was pierced with sharp pangs of pain. Her Demon God body helped withstand much of the onslaught, preventing Bella from vomiting blood.

Dark Night Demon King Aggy was still suspended in the air and hadn’t yet recovered fully. The orb of the Creator of Light Vianne was very destructive to Demon Kings. Therefore, if Bella had smashed Aggy with it like Great Demonic King Brewster, she would’ve fallen from the sky.

“Cough, cough… Where did a Demon King get such a… That’s… S***!”

Bella turned into a ray of light and rushed towards Dark Night Demon King Aggy. This move was a replica of the Holy Knight’s unique skill “Divine Charge”. Aggy was clearly caught off guard as she had just picked up her shield to block when Bella charged into her.

When the Demon Kings collided, there was a massive impact that followed. Aggy was knocked into the air and sprayed a huge mouthful of blood again. After that, she and Bella fell into the vast wilderness together. The Dark Giants and Dark Dinosaurs watching at their feet stopped fighting and hurried to the direction of their fall.

“You… get down now. Get off, you scoundrel…”

“Aggy, calm down. This is… ahem, this is an accident.”

“Since it’s an accident, get down now! You meanie, how dare you play tricks.”

On a small hill, the Dark Giant King and the Dark Tyrant Dragon saw the two Demon Kings tumbling together from a distance. Aggy lay in the wasteland while Bella was sitting on her. The two happened to bump into each other and fell down from the air together.

Having been hit by the energy waves, the duo was currently in a terrible state now; their clothing was in even worse condition than if it had been torn off. Bella and Aggy were almost entirely naked, with one or two small fragments left on them. Their present posture was especially ambiguous, which only made anyone who saw them think of other things.

Aggy’s shield “Dark Night Shield” and magic scepter “Starry Night” fell to her left and right sides, respectively, a few fists away from her hand. She wanted to pick them up to fight, but Bella was sitting on her, which made her attempt temporarily impossible.

Bella didn’t look at the wider picture. She pressed Aggy’s hands, preventing her from getting her weapon and shield. It appeared as if she wanted to have her way with Aggy forcibly.

Was this the legendary love? After a meaningful glance at each other, the Dark Giant King and the Dark Tyrant Dragon withdrew with their troops. Since both sides had gotten together, as their subordinates, the two wouldn’t blindly fight another round of battle. Therefore, they silently retreated. Leaving the two Demon Kings with some private time was the right thing to do.

“Come back… Don’t go, you’re getting the wrong idea…”

“Aggy, stop moving. If you continue to struggle like this, I can’t guarantee if anything will happen later.”

Seeing her men leave, Dark Night Demon King Aggy was a little anxious. Apart from the embarrassment of being misunderstood, it was mostly due to the fact that she was injured. There was a slight disparity in physical strength between Demon Kings. Although they practiced demonic arts, there were still some differences.

Dark Night Demon King Aggy focused on magic attacks, so her physical strength wasn’t outstanding. Compared to Bella, a Demon King who mainly concentrated on force, she was definitely a bit weaker. After Bella had pressed close to her, she was helpless.

Bella was uncomfortable, as well. Aggy was flailing and struggling under her body, resulting in large parts of their snow-white, soft skin rubbing against each other. She had reacted a little to the friction caused by the writhing of Aggy’s charming body. This was one seductive demoness, no doubt about that. If Bella weren’t injured now, she really would have had her way with Aggy.

“What’s the matter with you? Stop messing around… We’re both girls. You’re…”

“Aggy, don’t you feel it too? How can you blame me? Down there, you’re already…”

“Don’t say anymore! I… I don’t feel anything. I’m warning you, if you mess around like this, I will… What are you doing?!”

Even though Aggy insisted that she didn’t feel anything, her body’s instinctive reaction betrayed her. Bella could feel the abnormality in Aggy’s body. After all, they were both naked and clinging to each other. Thus, she would be the first to know about any abnormalities in her.

Bella lowered her head. Instead of kissing Aggy’s seductive lips, she gently touched her chest. Aggy was wearing a dark necklace there; it wasn’t a divine or demonic artifact, but a personal jewelry of Dark Night Demon Aggy.

Bella gently grabbed the chain of the Dark Night Necklace and pulled it with a little force, breaking the necklace worn by Aggy. She didn’t dare kiss Aggy’s lips because she was still unsure of what other moves this female Demon King had. Considering everything, it was better to be careful.

“My necklace… What are you doing? Give it back to me now! I can’t lose this one. If you want anything else, I can hand it to you.”

“No, I only want this necklace, nothing else. I can’t just waste all that time and effort for naught, right? Besides, it’s proof of our friendship.”

“Who’s friends with you? Would a friend behave like this? I’ve never seen such a brazen Demon King. You should quit… Quit the Demon King circle!”

Dark Night Demon King Aggy’s necklace had no actual combat value and was more of symbolic importance. Bella had obtained a vital piece of information from Ocean Demon King Victoria in the past: the necklace on the chest of a female Demon King was the identification of the inheritance contract.

Female Demon Kings usually gave this necklace to the future heir of the Demon King. Among Demon Kings, there was no concept of marriage. In fact, their heir was equivalent to their mate. Most of the male Demon Kings didn’t like to be exclusive, preferring to raise a large number of succubi to meet their needs. Therefore, they didn’t have the “mate certification” that female Demon Kings had.

Unlike the romance of male Demon Kings, female Demon Kings would usually choose only one heir. Bella had seen Victoria’s necklace last time and wanted to steal it but didn’t dare make a move because of her strength.

This time, she wouldn’t spare Dark Night Demon King Aggy no matter what. She had already obtained Aggy’s necklace. After this, even if she wanted to find an heir, she had to look for Bella to get it back. This was equivalent to robbing Aggy of her “mate’s” position in advance, so it wasn’t surprising that she was so anxious.

Behind Bella, a gravitational black door had opened in the sky. After sensing her position, Dark Wizards from the Demon King coalition gathered together to begin the Demon King’s guidance ceremony.

“Seems like I have to go. Aggy, I won’t forget this. I’ll keep your necklace since this is the proof of our friendship. If you want it back, please come to me in person in the future to get it. I’ll leave first. See you soon!”

“You’re not a man. Stop that now! It’s not like you can do anything with my necklace, wait… Listen to me, you thief. Don’t go…”

“Goodbye, Miss Aggy. By the way, my name is Bella, and I’m not a thief. Also, you smell very lovely.”

Attracted by the pull of gravity of the portal, Bella ascended into the air and walked along the path. On the ground, Aggy struggled to get up. By the time she picked up her weapon, Bella had already closed the portal and slipped away, so it was impossible for Aggy to attack her. She could only glare at the sky with a look that seemed to be in hindsight.

“Bella, you thieving Demon King. Next time, I’m going to teach… Why is this here? Was it her?”

Before Aggy could finish speaking, the severe pain in her chest made her want to vomit blood again. Right then, she lowered her head and found the healing potion that Bella had intentionally left behind. Aggy had focused on the necklace and didn’t notice Bella’s other actions.

After confirming that there was no one around, Aggy blushed and accepted the medicine. She wasn’t conservative either. Bella had stolen the necklace that was meant for her mate, so there seemed to be nothing wrong with her taking something from her. Aggy hadn’t yet realized the changes in her subconscious. She was gradually taking some things for granted.

After Aggy left, the chaos in the Demon King Space continued on. Finally, a Demon God couldn’t stand it any longer and came over to end it. Dark Demon God Alice and Blood Demon God Claire opened the entrance of the Demon King Space. When they entered, it had already turned beyond recognition.

On the delicate noses of Claire and Alice, a trace of a nosebleed could be seen. Bella’s unruly behavior had affected them all. Bella and Aggy left pretty fast. Else, if they had waited any longer, they probably would’ve been caught and educated on the spot by the two Demon Gods.

“It was really caused by the Creator of Light Vianne’s energy. This demon blood moon can’t be fixed. Which Demon King is it who behaved so underhandedly? To actually bring out the Praise of Light…”

“Alice, I think it’s going to be difficult to save this space. Why don’t…”

“Aren’t you two idle? This sort of matter should be left to Creator of Darkness Mystica. Let her negotiate with Creator of Light Vianne. We World Destructors don’t have so much time and energy to help World Creators!”

At the entrance of the passage behind Alice and Claire was a new World Destructor. It wasn’t clear if she was a Death God or an Evil God. She was even too lazy to step out of the Demon God Door, so she spoke to Alice and Claire through it.

“W-why are you here, Deputy Lord!? “

“Deputy Lord, you’re not with the Chief Lord? You came all the way here…”

Alice and Claire held great respect for the newly emerged World Destructor. The position of the other party was above theirs, after all. Although World Destructors, Demon Gods, and Evil Gods could play together like ordinary human besties, they would still show some etiquette during such public occasions.

“This scent is… Alice, Claire, you may withdraw first! I’ll deal with things here.”

“Yes, Deputy Lord.”

Alice and Claire left with puzzled expressions. They didn’t know the reason for the Deputy Lord’s sudden change. Although they wanted to ask, they refrained from doing so.

“Samantha, when did you hook up with Vianne? How could you forget your old friend? Never mind, I’ll help you clean up this matter. All because we’re friends! If I don’t help you, who’s going to?”

Deputy Lord World Destructor walked out of the Demon God Passage after confirming that Alice and Claire were gone and began to speak to herself. She held out her hand towards the location of the demon blood moon in the sky. At once, the blue sky in the Demon King Space was quickly stained with black again. A brand new demon blood moon was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“It’s better if I don’t tell the Chief Lord about this so that she doesn’t run away like always. I’m so pissed. It’s not like I can beat her, though. No matter what, I’m going to run away first this time.”

On the northern bank of the Sacred River Selma, at the headquarters of the Demon King allied forces, Origin Demon King Bella, who had just returned, was lying in bed resting. Creator of Darkness Mystica was sitting on a stool beside Bella, dressed in black Gothic loli clothing. She had come to see her, this “problematic Demon King”.

Both Bella and Mystica’s expressions were very subtle. She had already learned of her feat from Mystica. Nine Demon Kings had been seriously injured overnight, and even she herself was grievously wounded. Only she had such military success. Fortunately, Dolores and the others were fine. Otherwise, Bella would be embarrassed to death.

“Mystica, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I just threw it out casually, but I didn’t expect it to be like this…”

“Bella, you are the worst Demon King whom I’ve ever taken… Only you. Damn it. When I go back, Vianne’s going to laugh at me. You’ve completely embarrassed me. Don’t tell others that I’m your teacher…”

“Mystica, don’t get angry. Being enraged is bad for the body; you’ll get wrinkles. Then I’ll feel so guilty. Go back, and I’ll send you some nice clothes to make amends. Teacher, I was wrong. Give me another chance, please!”

“Hmph, I knew you couldn’t keep your mouth from running. Forget it, I forgive you. However, there mustn’t be a next time. You should pay attention in the future. If not for yourself, then for them at least. If something happens to you, it could lead to a catastrophe!”

Creator of Darkness Mystica got up and left. Before leaving, she tapped Bella on the forehead with her small hand as a warning. Bella still didn’t know that if something happened to her, a large number of hidden forces in the dark would probably cause a lot of chaos.

This time, Bella not only wounded nine Demon Kings but also injured four Demon Gods and Evil Gods as well. Fortunately, her real body was Sacred Demon God Samantha, and she had strong interpersonal relationships behind the scenes. Even if it were known by those senior officials, they would choose to forgive her unconditionally.

If other Demon Kings were to make such a blunder, they would be hunted and killed by the World Destructor Camp. It was already a huge taboo for a Demon King to use the artifact of the Creator of Light. On top of that, she had also destroyed the Demon King Passage with the Creator of Light’s orb, which was no different from turning traitor. If she didn’t have such strong support, it was better she didn’t do anything so stupid.

After Mystica left, Lisha, Kriss, Ariel, and her other roommates all came to her tent to see the Demon King. Anya and Mia were busy taking care of the other Demon Kings and didn’t visit her for the time being. Sky Demon King Dolores, Blood Demon King Eleanor, and Underworld Demon King Cornice were still recuperating. Devastating Evil Dragon Lolita was currently acting as chief commander of the Demon King allied forces.

“Older sister Bella, I can’t stand watching how you act as a Demon King! How can a Demon King be in such a sorry state as yourself?!”

“Bella, take it easy! I’ve never even thought of such an absurd idea like committing suicide with the weapon of the Creator of Light!”

“Lisha, how dare you laugh at me! I’ll teach you a good lesson later. Noreya, your imagination is too wild. When have I ever thought of killing myself?!”

The concern of her roommates made Bella temporarily forget about her pain. When they came to visit her, Lisha and the others didn’t dress up much because they were in a hurry. They came in their thin pajamas, which couldn’t hide their attractive figures.

This sudden benefit was undoubtedly the best gift for Bella. She wasn’t sure whether Lisha and the others had done it intentionally. They pretended they hadn’t seen her strange looks, allowing Bella’s eyes to roam all over them.

There was a rare peace on both sides of the Sacred River Selma for three days. The Demon Kings on both sides had each found a bizarre reason for not appearing. Terror Demon King Griffin claimed to be drunk and sobered up after three days of being inebriated. Bone Demon King Trollope claimed to have had leg pains and also rested for three days. Night Demon King Aggy was suffering from “chest pains” and was temporarily unable to come out too.

The Demon Kings on Bella’s side collectively took time off. Their reasons were really unconvincing, but the Demon Kings in the Demon King Coalition wouldn’t question a Demon King’s words and deeds. They just accepted whatever the Demon King said.

In the history books of later generations, these three days would be called “the strange holiday before the Selma River war”. Later generations were unable to learn the real reason the demons went on strike collectively, which also became an unsolved mystery in history.

On a separate isle on New Moon Island, Dulles Isle, the Black Fleet, which had been delayed for three days, finally set off again. This time, Ocean Demon King was sitting on the fleet’s flagship, preparing to land the Black Coalition forces that were supporting the defense line on the Selma River. In front of the Black Fleet’s route, the navy of the Demon King Coalition had been assembled and was on standby. Both sides were about to stage an unprecedented naval battle.
