I am the emperor of Mengwang

After the pressure was taken back by Mo Li, Luminas collapsed directly to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed, without any trace of the demeanor of the former 'Night Demon Queen'.

"Lord Luminas!!!"

Hinata Sakaguchi, who was standing by, saw this and, regardless of her own physical discomfort, hurried forward to help Ruminas up.

Not only her, but even the Pope Louis, one of Luminas's confidants, hurried forward to check.

Looking at Luminas in this state, Guy sighed helplessly. It seemed as if he didn't understand. Ruminas was fine, so why bother to provoke this guy!

Isn't it just a "saint-level" human?! Guy didn't think it was anything special.

After helping Ruminas up, Sakaguchi Hinata couldn't help but look in Guy's direction.

After hearing the conversation between Mo Li and Qi Yi, Sakaguchi Hinata also knew the true identity of the charming man with red hair and red eyes in front of him.

The world's first 'true' demon king

He is one of the three oldest demon lords, along with 'Tyrant of Destruction' Milim.

He is also one of the current 'Nine Heavens Masters'

Guy Kulimthorn, known as the 'Dark Emperor'

A truly 'natural disaster level' terrifying existence.

It was Lady Luminas who admitted that it was not a terrifying existence from another dimension.

"Luminas, it's been a while since we last met. How come you've become so slovenly?"

Qi Yi mocked his old colleague in a playful manner!

Facing Guy’s ridicule, Luminas was somewhat concerned, but she was not angry at Guy.

Having worked with Qi Yi for so many years, she was also aware of some of Qi Yi's personalities.

After all, being the same 'original devil' as that guy called 'Diablo' is definitely not a good thing!

Moreover, she knew how strong Guy was. Although they were both Demon Kings, Luminas knew very well that Guy was the 'strongest' among the Demon Kings and the one who called the shots.

Even Milim Nava, who is also an ancient demon king, is no match for him.

Besides, among the current 'Nine Heavens Ruler' Demon Kings, except for the crazy girl Milim, all other Demon Kings must obey the orders of Guy, the 'Dark Emperor'.

This is the difference in strength!

“What? Guy, are you here to laugh at me?!”

Although she was indeed no match for Guy and Mo Li, she could not lose in terms of temperament. Facing Guy's ridicule, Luminas directly retorted.

"Haha, that's not the case! I'm here just to be a peacemaker! To mediate your conflict. After all, we're all colleagues! We'll see each other every day. It's not good if the relationship becomes strained!"

"Isn't that right, Luminas?"

When Guy said the last sentence, his tone was mixed with a hint of warning and threat.

Qi Yi couldn't persuade or even threaten the great god Mo Li. After all, he knew very well Mo Li's strength.

Even the position of Demon King Mo Li was granted by Qi Yi after he begged and pleaded with everyone, almost kneeling down.

Moreover, according to the "contract" drawn up by the two, Mo Li's power and status among the current 'Nine Heavens Ruler' Demon Kings are no less than his.

This was agreed upon when he promised Mo Li the position of Demon King.

In addition, there are a series of unequal treaties!

Forget it, I won’t say any more. It will only bring tears if I say too much!

He Qiyi, a man who dared to punch the "God of Creation", had never suffered such injustice.

Therefore, not only was Qi Yi unable to accuse this gentleman, he did not even have the status and power.

I have no choice but to turn my attention to Luminas. After all, you should pick on the weak ones, right? !

Isn't it? !

Realizing the intention behind Guy’s words, Luminas’s face suddenly darkened, as ugly as a dark cloud.

As a fox that has lived for a thousand years, how could she not notice the threat and warning in Qi Yi's words?

"Guy, I can leave Tempest, even the Great Forest of Nyonara, but I must take Hinata with me!"

"I can't let Demon Lord Rimuru kill Hinata."

There is no way that Luminas would give up Hinata, after all, Hinata is one of her lifelong dreams.

How could she let Rimuru kill Hinata, whom she had loved and favored for so long!

Looking at Luminas who was fighting against him, Guy's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but more of it was coldness and disdain.

To be honest, if Luminas wasn’t still useful, Guy would have killed her just based on what she said!

But... not yet! After all, even without considering the troubles of Rudra and the Empire, the "Demon War" does require the assistance of the Holy French Empire and the Western Holy Church!

Luminas is the only demon king who is willing to work hard and even founded the Western Holy Church in human society. She can be said to be the demon king with the greatest influence among humans.

"Luminas, the 'Demon War' is imminent, and I don't want you to affect the overall situation because of 'personal reasons'. You'd better think it through!"

Seeing such a stubborn Luminas, Guy no longer insisted on superficial efforts and directly warned Luminas.

After hearing Guy’s warning, Luminas also fell silent.

Indeed, the time for the "Heaven-Demon War" to begin is not far away. Moreover, that group of "damned angels" have been keeping an eye on her Holy French Empire. If something happens to her, she may die here.

I am afraid that both the Western Holy Church and the Holy French Empire will be destroyed by the hands of those "angels".

"Lord Luminas, this is my own fault. You don't need to do anything for me! I believed the rumors, killed the Demon King Rimuru, and failed to manage my subordinates well, causing the Holy Knights under my command to invade the Great Forest of Hela!"

“This is why I’m alone!”

"Before the battle with Demon Lord Rimuru, I made a 'contract' with him. I lost this 'contract'!"

“Demon Lord Rimuru has also made concessions, so Lord Luminas, all of this is what I deserve!”

Hinata Sakaguchi respectfully explained to Ruminas beside her that Lady Ruminas had already done enough for her.

She couldn't hold Lady Luminas back any longer.

"Besides, what this gentleman said is not without reason. The 'Heavenly Demon War' is imminent, and you still need to stay in charge of the Holy French Empire. Only in this way can the Holy French Empire be stable!"

Listening to Hinata Sakaguchi's advice, Luminas's face was full of embarrassment. On one hand, the "Great War of Heaven and Demon" was the "big picture", and on the other hand, it was the person she loved the most. This...

"No, I think you all misunderstood!"

At this time, Rimuru, who was listening to the conversation, couldn't help but speak out.

"I... I don't think I ever said I wanted to kill Hinata!"

Rimuru scratched his head and spoke to everyone awkwardly and hesitantly.

"Actually... I didn't intend to make this bet with Sakaguchi Hinata from the beginning. It was just that Hinata brought it up during the fight, so I just agreed to it!"

Feeling the questioning looks from everyone, Rimuru was afraid that they would not believe him, so he hurriedly explained.

"So Rimuru, what you mean is... you never had the intention to kill Hinata from the beginning to the end, right?!"

Luminas asked Rimuru, seemingly not quite believing it.

"Of course, killing her won't do me any good! And it will most likely cause trouble for me and the Demonic Kingdom. Although I'm not afraid, I'm not stupid!"

"Besides, she is still Miss Jing's disciple after all. I won't kill her just for Miss Jing's sake!"

Rimuru defended himself very firmly.

"As for why I didn't let her go, on the one hand, it's because the word 'contract' is what we in the Demon Country value most. On the other hand, she robbed and killed me once, and this time she caused me so much trouble. I'm a little... well! I'm just indignant!"

"I just wanted to teach her a lesson, I didn't mean to kill her!"

Rimuru also didn't want Hinata Sakaguchi to die. After all, Miss Shizue had been resurrected, and she didn't want to hear the news that she had killed Hinata Sakaguchi just after Miss Shizue was resurrected.

And the reason why Hinata Sakaguchi attacked her was because he wanted to avenge Miss Shizuka, but she was just too stupid and was used, so... In Rimuru's opinion, as long as the "contract" is completed, she will make another "contract" with Luminas and let Hinata go back.

Why not do Luminas a favor at the same time?

Of course, the premise of all this is that Ali agrees! She will only do this!

Then Rimuru directly expressed his inner thoughts to everyone present.

After listening to what Rimuru said, Luminas just felt speechless. Why had she been making such a fuss for so long?

If Rimuru really has no intention of killing Hinata, then let Hinata stay in Tempest for a while. Otherwise, set up a space formation or point mapping between the Western Holy Church of the Holy Empire and Tempest. This will be no different from the past.

Of course, this is only possible if the Demon Kingdom is willing.

It was nothing more than that Hinata Sakaguchi became the property of the Demon Lord Rimuru in name only. At worst, she could just pay a certain price and redeem Hinata!

Damn, it's just such a simple thing, she is sick! She fought with the original black 'Diablo' and was threatened by Morax and Guy.

Isn't this just asking for trouble? !

Qi Yi who was standing aside was also speechless. No, it turned out that all the "fuss" were "fictitious" things!

And Luminas, she came here to cause trouble without even figuring out the truth. I really admire her.

At this point, the atmosphere instantly calmed down.

“Then, Demon Lord Rimuru, I want to apologize to you!”

Although Luminas is proud, she is not someone who cannot humble herself. All of this was caused by her subordinates and her, so she must apologize!

"Li, since the person involved has said so, do you also have to... um, give him some face?"

"Can it be done?"

Guy looked at Luminas apologizing to Rimuru, and asked Mo Li tentatively.

That appearance is as humble as it needs to be.

There was no way, because he really... well! He liked Li! He could say it "without hesitation". As long as Li said a word, he could immediately transform into a female body and let Li do whatever she wanted!

To be honest, he could only accommodate this gentleman. If it were someone else, he would have slapped him in the face, grabbed the other person's collar and asked whether he agreed or not!

“Alas! I am not an unreasonable person. Since Rimuru has made his decision, I have nothing to say. In a sense, this does not violate the ‘contract’ you signed.”

Mo Li nodded indifferently. Indeed, the content of the "contract" was just that Rimuru had the power over the life and death of Sakaguchi Hinata, but it did not say that Sakaguchi Hinata must be killed.

Although he attached great importance to the "contract", he was not a "rigid and mean" person, and doing this was indeed within the contract.

"Then if I want to take Hinata away, what is the price? Rimuru, just name it. As long as it is something I have, I will never say anything back!"

Although the "misunderstanding" has been resolved, compensation still needs to be paid, and the compensation for those "saints" and the Paladins has already been negotiated.

Then it’s time to talk about Hinata’s compensation!

As long as you don't offend Luminas, she is still very reasonable!

"Compensation?!"

Rimuru had a headache. To be honest, she didn't know what to ask Hinata Sakaguchi to compensate. After all, she had everything she needed!

Although Sakaguchi Hinata is quite powerful, her fighting ability is just so-so in Rimuru's eyes!

At this time, Diablo, who had been on standby for a long time, brightened his eyes, walked quietly in front of Rimuru, touched his chest, lowered his head, knelt on one knee and said respectfully to Rimuru.

“Rimuru-sama, just leave these trivial matters to me!”

Seeing that someone was willing to help him solve his problem, Rimuru was happy to see it happen, and nodded in agreement.

"Well, Ali, do you have anything else to add?!"

After everything was resolved, Rimuru turned his gaze to Mo Li who was silent on the side.

As Rimuru asked the question, everyone else turned their eyes to Mo Li standing aside.

"Luminas, if you want to take Sakaguchi Hinata away, you can, but there is a condition!"

Mo Li said lightly.

"what?!"

Luminas frowned, she had a bad feeling.

"You have to fight for your own opportunities! If Sakaguchi Hinata wants to leave, she needs to hold on in my hand for half an incense stick of time!"

"I won't use any skills. I will only compete in 'martial arts' and 'swordsmanship'. As long as she meets this condition, she can leave with you!"

Mo Li's calm words reached everyone's ears.

"This...Ali, isn't this a bit too harsh?"

Rimuru always felt that Mo Li was joking with them. Hinata Sakaguchi was holding half an incense stick on Mo Li's hand. Isn't this a bit... unrealistic?

"That's right, Li, it's obvious that you don't want to let me go!"

Even Qi Yi felt it was impossible. To compete with Mo Li in martial arts for half an incense stick, haha... it was too difficult!

The others also nodded in agreement with Guy and Rimuru’s statement.

"Morax, you...are deliberately making things difficult..."

Before Ruminas could finish her words, Hinata Sakaguchi interrupted.

"Lord Morax, are you telling the truth?!"

Hinata Sakaguchi's eyes were full of determination.

"It's true! If you can really hold out for half an incense stick, not only can you leave, I can also give you a big gift!"

Mo Li nodded. He didn’t have the habit of lying.

"I accept, my Lord!"

Hinata Sakaguchi nodded and agreed resolutely.

PS: Two chapters combined into one.

Kitty needs to sort out the following plot. After all, there is nothing interesting to watch in the third season of the Slime anime except the "Holy and Demon War".

It's either a celebration or a meeting, and the later brave chapter is also a bit messy, so Kitty needs to sort it out.

So dear readers, please give me some time.

Finally, I would like to ask for some free gifts. Don’t worry about expensive ones. Just watch an ad to show your support! (Thank you)
