CH 374

The imperial city, located within Macnadix City, the capital of the Manasvir Empire. At this point, the Netherworld Creator God was the only one left controlling the palace. After his partner, the Darkness Creator God, had lost to Bella, he naturally chose to give up, leaving the Netherworld Creator God to take care of this place. Although he was a little surprised at his partner’s departure, it did not affect his plans at all. The evil plans that he had been preparing for the past decade were still well underway. 

“Master, the other master has already left. His subordinates also…”

“I understand… It’s not a problem at all. That guy, Diablo, was too narrow-minded and could not be flexible at all. If he were to head north, there was a possibility that things might get interesting.”

“Well… Master, what about our plan…”

“No need to delay; we will execute it during the competition tomorrow as planned. I have already made all the necessary arrangements. I have my ways to cause damage to those interdimensional traveling Saviors.”

The Netherworld Creator God stood up and took a sip of wine from the long-stemmed glass in his hand. He was not bothered by the fact that his partner, the Darkness Creator God, had left with his subordinates in tow. He had made the same mistake out of overconfidence before and did not pay attention to Bella, who was a wildcard. The Darkness Creator God must have intended to hoodwink him to watch him fail by not informing the Netherworld Creator God about Bella. 

As night fell over Macnadix City, it started to rain and soon turned into a storm. Due to this, Prince Ernest’s army tore down their camp and began to make their way back to the northern region in an orderly manner. 

However, Prince Ernest was filled with a mix of confusion and indignance. The Octavia Empire had initially supported his political actions. However, they had suddenly changed their mind without warning. The Octavia Empire not only recalled all the Dragon Knights who were supposed to act as reinforcements, but they also deployed more than fifty thousand soldiers to the north. It seemed as though they were trying to take advantage of Prince Ernest’s absence to take over his territory.

In politics, it was often the case where benefits would outweigh and outlast friendships. However, Prince Ernest firmly believed that he still had some political clout, and there was no reason why he would be dumped by the Octavia Empire. He could not figure out where the problem lay. However, the time was of the essence as it was more important for him to head back to the northern region to protect his territory.

The territory had been governed by Prince Ernest for many years. It was in a much better condition than the capital, which had become a land of false and superficial prosperity after being overrun by alien demonic beings. Although there were around fifty thousand of his soldiers in the north, he had transferred his most elite soldiers down south. This meant that the remaining soldiers were either new recruits or mercenaries whom he had temporarily recruited. If it came down to a fight, they would not last long at all. 

As the Octavia Empire had been battling the Demon Race for many years, it was an indisputable fact that the strength of their regular soldiers was superior among the five Human empires. The only empire that could potentially match up to them was the Gabriel Empire, which had just gained a temporary respite from years of battle against the Beastmen. 

After Prince Ernest’s army retreated, the only warlord left near the imperial city was Prince Bilberg from the west. After he noticed that Prince Ernest was really retreating and it was not a ruse at all, Prince Bilberg was extremely confused. He could not understand what Prince Ernest was trying to do. Wasn’t he the one who was the most interested in claiming the throne? Instead, he was leaving at this juncture when he was already so close to victory. 

A certain viewing platform was located somewhere within the Christian Hotel in the eastern part of Macnadix City, the capital of the Manasvir Empire. Bella was seated on a special-made throne while she was making out with an alluring beauty in her arms. No matter how much the young beauty tried to struggle, she could not escape Bella’s demonic claws. Right now, she was completely naked while this demoness imprisoned her in her embrace as she savored every inch of her body.

“Bella, please… have… have mercy on me. I… I can’t sink into this depravity again. Right… I have a man I like…”

“Manya Felan, as an Empress, I’m sure you know that it is not good to lie. I have already interrogated Prime Minister Anna and the others. Your female officials have said explicitly that you do not have anyone that you like. Why were they lying to me? I have to…”

“No, no… They were not lying. I… I lied, alright?”

Manya Felan was highly adept at dealing with politics and the economy, but she was helpless when it came to matters of the heart. Even though she was a veteran interdimensional traveler who had existed for more than ten thousand years, she was putty in Bella’s hands. Manya Felan was merely easy on the eyes, but she could change her hair and eye color with ease, which opened up so many new options. Naturally, Bella could not help but feel extremely excited as she placed Manya Felan at the top of the list of beauties to take advantage of. 

“Manya Felan, now be good and put your hands behind your back and puff up your chest. Otherwise… otherwise I will carry you over to Princess Pamela, place you in front of the others and… Or you could perform a dance for me, then I shall leave you alone for today!”

“Don’t… I’ll do as you say.”

Although Princess Pamela and the others were merely her “daughters” in the name. However, when Manya Felan heard that Bella was going to take advantage of her in front of them, she was incredibly embarrassed. Since there was no way to resist, she had no choice but to obediently allow Bella to do whatever she wanted. For some unknown reason, she was starting to enjoy the feeling of being taken advantage of as her will to resist began to fade. Bella lowered her head and kissed the Empress’ tantalizing lips. This was a benefit that no Emperor of the Manasvir Empire had the honor to enjoy for the last ten thousand years. Bella, the Demon King, felt a thrill at the fact that she was inadvertently making a cuckold out of all the previous Emperors. Could any other Demon King ever achieve this feat?

Bella and the others were currently being intimate on the viewing platform under a pavilion. Even though a storm was raging outside, it was kept out with a magical barrier that prevented any rain from getting in. Other than Empress Manya Felan, who was currently wrapped tightly in Bella’s embrace, there were two other pink-haired beauties inside the pavilion as well. They were Miss Louise and Miss Maschuter, the daughters of Marshal Edwin and Grand Duke Yale, respectively. 

Those two young ladies had identical looks of disbelief on their faces. Their clothes had been stripped off them much earlier as they were placed inside this pavilion. Their hands were bound together with red ribbons and were pulled above their head. Louise and Maschuter also had a pair of custom-made gold-colored heels. Those heels made it extremely difficult to walk. Once they were forced onto their feet, it would definitely be an inconvenience if any of the girls tried to escape. Other than that, they were not put under any other restraints. Bella was clearly confident that they would not be able to make it out of the “Pink Devil’s Lair” that was the Christian Hotel. 

As they watched the Empress Manya Felan writhe in pleasure, Louise and Maschuter did not know how to react. Their moral principles had been torn apart and reconstructed too many times. The worst part was that there were times where they felt something stir within them as well. They had been forced to watch the immoral debauchery of girl’s love for the past few days as their resolve began to falter. 

“No… Grand Duchess Bella, I… I’m not like the Empress. I…”

“Miss Maschuter… no, that’s not right. I mean, Grand Duchess Maschuter, let me teach you how to become a proper Grand Duchess!”

“No… I refuse to learn. Don’t…”

After Bella “dealt” with Empress Manya Felan, she walked right up to Miss Maschuter, reached out and spread apart her slender legs and secured them to the side with ease. Then, she immediately pounced on her, pressing their soft chests together. As Bella rubbed against her, Maschuter was nearly overwhelmed with pleasure as she let out an uncontrollable slew of weird sounds.

“Bella, stop… I… I’m going to… to feel weird… don’t…”

“Maschuter, you’ll soon learn to love this feeling. I will guide you to the best of my abilities."

Louise, who was by their side, was beet red as she watched Bella and Maschuter get increasingly intimate. The scene in front of her was even crazier than Bella’s performance with Empress Manya Felan. As she was in such close proximity, there was a moment where Louise felt as though she was the one being taken advantage of and not Maschuter. 

When Bella picked up Maschuter’s limp figure and placed her beside Empress Manya Felan, Louise instinctively pressed her legs tightly together, as though there was a secret that she was desperately trying to hide. Naturally, her actions did not escape Bella’s sharp eyes as a devilish smile appeared on her beautiful face. Without saying a single word, she walked up to Louise, grabbed onto her creamy white thighs and slowly began to pry it open. Instinctively, Louise knew that something bad was about to happen and frantically began to struggle, keeping her legs pressed as tightly as possible. However, her strength was no match for Bella, the Demon King. Other than making Bella feel even more excited, her efforts were completely useless. 

“Louise, stop struggling. Let me see what secrets you have been hiding from me!”

“No, Bella, please let me go. Anything… anything but this. Don’t…”

In the end, Bella easily managed to pry apart Louise’s legs. After seeing the strange wet stain, Bella knew exactly what the other girl needed. When Louise saw the look of adoration in Bella’s eyes, she desperately wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Now, Bella had seen her at her most shameful moment. The demoness now had every bit of information that she could use against her. 

“Louise, you could have said something earlier if you wanted this! I would have started with you instead. Next time, you don’t have to hold it in like this, it’s really not good for your body!”

“Stop talking, Bella. You… quickly, please.”

“Mmm, how impatient. I will relieve you immediately.”

Once she was sure that she had obtained consent, Bella did not hesitate anymore. She immediately picked up Louise and started a new “crusade.” By taking control of Louise and Maschuter, it meant that Bella was now in control of the southern warlord, Grand Duke Yale, as he had handed over most of the authority to his daughter, Maschuter. In addition, she also had someone to monitor the eastern warlord, Marshal Edwin. As Louise was his daughter, she was now the best person to spy on him. 

Although Bella’s initial intentions were political in nature, she had taken a liking to these two young ladies. Otherwise, she would not have spent so much effort to expose them to so many live performances of girls’ love. This was mainly because she wanted to peel away the moral resolve in their hearts and then swoop in to take control of them.

“Ahem… Mistress, are you busy? Oh, I’ll come back later. I shall not disturb you while you’re intimate with those pretty sisters.”

“Diaz, just come over if you have anything to report! Louise and the others are mine now, it’s not a bother at all.”

Bella’s demon familiar, the Demon World Princess Diaz, was dressed in a dark red demonic formal outfit. When she noticed that Bella was pressed up against Louise as they kissed, Diaz naturally thought of leaving to allow Bella some time to get intimate with Louise. However, Bella was not shy at all. She simply picked Louise up in her arms, sat down on a throne and continued to take advantage of her as she listened to Diaz’s report. 

According to Diaz’s report, she had confirmed that more than a dozen girls were under the control of hypnosis magic after conducting the investigation. Normally, those girls would not feel a thing. However, once the mastermind activated the trigger, they would unknowingly become a surrogate, just like the two girls from before. 

Right now, those problematic girls had been locked up by the Rose Society as they were trying their best to reverse the hypnosis magic as quickly as possible. Although it was difficult to break, the Great Evil God Mia and Demon God Angel were involved, so it was only a matter of time before the magic was broken. 

Bella had automatically forgotten about the attack by the “Spades K” organization. This gambling group was far too weak. One day, when she had the time and was in a bad mood, she could simply make the arrangements to directly wipe them out. Bella allowed them to live for now. 

“Mistress, I can’t find out who the caster was. Although you suspected that Great Magister Orlando was the one behind it, there was no way to track the spell’s origin. For most of these special psychological-type magic, they typically leave no trace after being broken. This means that we can’t prove that Orlando was the one who cast the spell.”

“I understand. Diaz, I just need you to monitor the activity within and around the Christian Hotel. It doesn’t matter if Orlando did it or not, I simply do not wish this incident to repeat again. Since I still have to participate in the competition tomorrow, we shall let this be for now.”

“Yes, mistress. I understand. I shall wish you victory tomorrow and sweet dreams tonight!”

Diaz then left the viewing platform with a smile on her face, leaving Bella and the others who were still engaged in intimacy. The rain would continue to fall until the next morning, where the top one hundred would compete for the final twenty spots in the competition. Once they were down to the final twenty, the 1v1 battles would commence. 

The second round of the finals would be held within the imperial battleground. The arena was split into smaller arenas that were demarcated by giant boulders. There were a total of one hundred competitors as the second round of the competition would be a 2v2 battle, just like the day before. The first ten pairs to win five rounds would progress to the next round. 

As there were significantly fewer competitors now, it was much more likely that they would have to go up against someone they knew. As the competition times in the five arenas were all different, Bella planned to use her identity as the Dragon Knight Grand Duchess Bellina and pair up with the Priest Isaman. They would be the first group to appear in the first arena. According to the rules, the winning team would remain behind to defend their title as champion until they lost or won five rounds in a row. 

Bella prayed silently that she would not have to go up against Lisha and the other Dark Saviors. If they had to fight each other, there was a possibility that she and Isaman would have to unleash an extraordinary amount of power. Those few male Saviors were troublesome as well. However, as they were men, Bella did not feel that it would be necessary for her to hold back when attacking. This would make it easier for her to win. 

The restrictions on Dragon Knights using their steed’s abilities during the competition were a last-minute addition. It felt as though it was explicitly directed towards Bella. She had too many overly powerful Demonic Dragon steeds in her hands. If no restrictions were in place, she would win this competition by a landslide. These restrictions could probably apply to a regular Dragon Knight, but it meant nothing to Bella. As she had the abilities of the Dragon Steed Race, she did not even need to summon her steeds to use their powers. Thus, those restrictions did not affect her at all. 

Unfortunately, her group’s opponent for the first round was someone they knew. It was the Dragon Knight Copperfield and the fire-type Mage Wendy. Bella felt a little dispirited by this match. Her first opponent was the brother of her surrogate, Princess Felia. The last time they exchanged blows, Bella made use of the Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth’s incredible abilities to force Copperfield, who only had a Fire Dragon Steed, to concede defeat.

This time, neither of them had their Dragon steeds as it would be rather difficult to force Copperfield to throw in the towel without a fight. Furthermore, as a prince, he had replaced his Fire Dragon Steed with a Griffin instead. Judging by Griffin’s imposing presence, it was immediately clear that this steed belonged to the Octavia Empire’s royal family. As it was trained specifically for battle, it was much more powerful than a regular Griffin. 

Other than Flying Dragons, male Dragon Knights must be able to commandeer a Griffin while female Dragon Knights must have the ability to commandeer a flying Unicorn. This rule was to prevent them from being without a steed when Dragon steeds were low in supply. Copperfield’s partner, the Mage Wendy, was the direct descendent of the Holy Flame Magic Mentor Wilde and had her fair share of demonic beasts that she could summon as well. For this battle, the fire-type Holy Beast, the Flaming Phoenix, was acting as Wendy’s temporary steed. 

Until now, Copperfield had not noticed that Bella was using the long lost Princess Felia’s body as a surrogate. It seemed like it was true that he did not have a sister complex at all. When Copperfield saw that Bella and Isaman had not summoned any steeds or beasts, he acted like a perfect gentleman and did not make the first move to attack. Instead, he politely asked Bella if they needed any assistance. As he was currently vying for the position of the heir to the throne with the crown prince, gaining the support of another Dragon Knight would be beneficial to him. 

“Grand Duchess Bellina, why didn’t you find a steed? If you do not have any on hand, I would be perfectly willing to loan you a Griffin or Unicorn. Our empire has always had respect for each and every Dragon Knight. If you do not mind, you could always…”

“Well… there’s no need for that. Come on, let’s get this competition started! Steeds are of not much use to me anyway!”

Bella immediately interrupted the Dragon Knight Copperfield’s attempt to curry favor with Bella. That guy could not even recognize his own sister, which was rather impressive. He thought that he could bribe her with just a few Griffins and Unicorns? That would be too easy.
