Chapter 316: How to Submit
Since Bibi Dong said so, Lan Fozi spoke directly to Yue Guan:
"The Supreme Pontiff says to kick him out."
It sounded like Sister Bibi Dong was very annoyed with this person, so Lan Fozi added,
"If he insists on clinging on shamelessly, cripple him."
"This"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged glances, both somewhat hesitant.
After all, that guy was the son of the Clan Chief of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even if he was a useless one.
"Did you not understand what I said?"
Her gaze narrowed.
A powerful aura instantly filled the entire Supreme Pontiff's Hall.
"!!!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei broke into a cold sweat.
They hastily responded, "Yes!"
Then they left without another word.
Outside Spirit City.
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands clasped behind his back, calmly waiting for permission to enter.
He was certain Bibi Dong would definitely meet him. She had even mentioned recommending him to become an elder of the Spirit Hall.
He wondered if that recommendation had already succeeded by now.
However
Things went contrary to his hopes.
Very soon, something he had never expected happened.
A soldier approached him, pointing down the road and barking, "You need to leave. The Holy Maiden says to go back where you came from."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes went wide with disbelief.
"Do you even know what you're saying?"
He simply could not believe that Bibi Dongwho had once been so impressed by his knowledgewould say such a thing.
But the soldier ignored him and turned to leave.
"Come back here! Give me a clear explanation, or else"
Seeing the soldier depart, the furious Yu Xiaogang reached out to grab him.
But just as he extended his hand
Boom!!!
"Ugh!"
A pressure as heavy as a mountain slammed him flat onto the ground.
"What?!"
Yu Xiaogang's entire face got shoved into the dirt as if a dog had gnawed on it.
He tried to lift his head but was firmly held down by invisible force.
Tap!
He heard footsteps in front of him, but he couldn't look up to see who it was.
Then a low voice sounded:
"If you had just left, none of this would have happened."
"The Holy Maiden ordered that if you keep pestering her, you're to be crippled."
"I'm a merciful person, so I'll just destroy two of your limbs."
"???"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes bulged.
Crippling two limbswouldn't that make him entirely useless?!
Absolutely not!
He prepared to speak out and declare his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lineagethough it despised him, it might at least force them to reconsider.
Unfortunately,
Gui Mei gave him no chance.
Slash!
A shadowy blade sliced through the air, cutting directly into flesh.
Instantly
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
A piercing shriek escaped Yu Xiaogang's mouth.
The sudden onslaught of intense pain nearly made him faint.
Having completed his task, Gui Mei gave Yu Xiaogang a long look, then melded back into the shadows and left.
"Howcould this happen"
Yu Xiaogang's consciousness began to blur with confusion.
His head slumped to the side, and he passed out.
Missing an arm and a leg, it would be a miracle if he could accept the reality once he awakened.
Meanwhile,
In the Great Forest of Jura.
Rei Ao asked Bibi Dong curiously, "Dong'er, you didn't do all that just because of me, did you?"
Bibi Dong shook her head.
"Not just because of that."
Rei Ao was her man, so distancing herself from Yu Xiaogang was inevitable. But there was another key reason.
Speaking in a tone of utter disappointment, Bibi Dong said,
"Afterward, I deliberately went to search through our archives. I found that many of his so-called 'theories' were practically plagiarized."
She had seen right through the worthless nature of Yu Xiaogang.
"Heh, as long as you've figured it out."
Rei Ao chuckled.
He had plenty of confidence in the knowledge he had used to 'conquer' so many people in the group chat.
"You two are just going to show off your love in front of us like this?"
Velzard came right up and started demanding Rei Ao's attention.
"Hmph. You're just the same, aren't you?"
Velgrynd also refused to be outdone.
Rei Ao was a person who favored fairness.
"No one will be left out."
So he gave the same kiss to Shizue, Shion, Treyni, and the others.
Although Bibi Dong was surprised, she still stood calmly on the side, waiting.
A moment later,
After Rei Ao had finished kissing each of them, he decided to go meet the Four Demon Lords.
"Let's go."
Conference Hall.
Frey and Luminas sat quietly in their chairs.
Because her body was small, Ramiris stood right on top of the table.
Only Milim dangled her legs back and forth in boredom.
She quickly grew impatient after waiting a while.
"Wasn't that Rei Ao supposed to have returned? Where is he?"
Clearly, she was the impatient type.
No one had an answer to her question.
Ramiris tried to comfort her, "Milim, he just got back. He probably has a few things to take care of first. Let's wait patiently, okay?"
"Hmph, I don't wanna!"
"If he's not coming here, I'll just go find him myself."
Unable to wait any longer, Milim got up, intending to go look for him.
"Heh heh, Milim, when does a guest ever go searching for the host?"
As they pushed open the door, Rain and Misery came in.
Rei Ao entered with the others following behind.
Sweeping his gaze over the four of them, he spoke with a faint apology,
"My apologies for keeping you waiting so many days."
"No, no, the hospitality here in the Great Forest has been excellent. Waiting a few days is no big deal."
Frey was very good with words.
Rei Ao couldn't help but glance again at this tall woman with an excellent figure.
She was rational and clearly aware of both her own status and his. In stark contrast to the willful Milim.
Milim rushed straight up to him, placed her hands on her hips, bared her tiny canines, and brandished her fists excitedly.
"Fight me right now!"
She just could not wait anymore. The aura emanating from Rei Ao's body made her tremble with excitementfar stronger than her aunts, Guy, or even that one time she'd met him before.
"I'll fight you, but later."
Rei Ao motioned for her to look at the other three.
"They have some matters that need resolving first. They've already been waiting for several days."
"As the true Demon Lord Milim, I'm sure you won't mind waiting just a bit longer, right?"
Knowing that this young woman was quite headstrong, Rei Ao nudged her gently by offering her the choice.
"I"
That approach worked. Just one phrase'true Demon Lord'placed Milim on a lofty pedestal.
Proud as she was, she had no problem accepting praise like that.
But it also meant she had to follow the reasonable behavior that came with it.
Even though she wanted a fight right now, she had no choice but to keep her impatience in check.
"Hmph, hurry up then."
She snorted and went back to her seat.
She realized she'd been outmaneuvered but, unhappy as she was, she folded her arms and stayed put.
Seeing that even Milim had been handled, Frey and the other two instantly made up their minds about Rei Ao.
Composed, Rei Ao took the main seat.
His eyes glimmered with a smile.
"In that case, let's begin our discussion about what it means for you to submit to me."

Chapter 317: Ramiris (Bonus Chapter)
"First, I want to know why you suddenly decided to turn to me, even going so far as to abandon your status as members of the Ten Great Demon Lords?"
Given his rank as a Demon Lord, Rei Ao indeed had every right to question these other demon lords.
Flapping her wings as she rose into the air, Ramiris said helplessly, "Because you've become so powerful, Rei Ao, and you even personally killed Clayman. All the demon lords are on edge."
With just one sentence, she laid bare the truth.
Simply put, they were afraid.
Nor did Ramiris bother to deny it for the sake of any so-called demon lord's dignity.
Of course
It might also be tied to her own free-spirited personality.
Seeing she had spoken so frankly,
Frey and Luminus admitted to those same fears in turn.
Frey wore a bitter expression. "Because I'm a newly emerged Demon Lord, I'm not all that powerful. I was worried I'd follow in Clayman's footsteps... so..."
Luminus fixed her gaze on Rei Ao.
In a cool, composed voice, she said, "Even Guy is no match for you. Your strength has become a great mountain crushing down on every demon lord."
"And you also lie outside the Ten Great Demon Lords' usual rules."
Ramiris boldly flew right up in front of him.
From the heart, she sighed, "I really can't figure out how you became such a powerful Demon Lord, Rei Ao."
"Heh."
Rei Ao let out a soft laugh.
He held out his palm.
Ramiris's eyes lit up.
She immediately perched on his outstretched hand.
The little one wasn't the least bit fearful, and was rather endearing.
"This is my abilityjust like some of you demon lords possess your own ultimate skills."
Naturally, when it came to Demon Lordrelated abilities, he wasn't about to explain in detail. He simply brushed it off as being akin to an "ultimate skill."
That, however, wasn't the main focus right now. The real point was not why he was so strong.
"So, are you saying the current demon lords are all afraid I'll take off their heads?"
"..."
His words were quite confrontational.
But Frey and the others couldn't deny them.
Ramiris herself had worried about exactly that, before.
But now...
There she was, poking at his palm curiously.
Ramiris raised a hand. "I believe that you wouldn't kill them for no reason, Rei Ao."
"Oh? And why do you trust me?"
"Hehe~"
Ramiris hugged his index finger and showed a blissful expression.
"Because the aura around you is really comfortable. I like it~"
Fairies are extremely sensitive to things they dislike.
Very few existences can make them feel such natural closeness.
Especially for the strongest among them, the Fairy Queen.
Rei Ao quite liked this little creature who was usually nowhere to be found.
So he asked, "So, are you planning to submit to me on the premise of it being forever?"
Forever?
As soon as he said that, Frey and Luminus both pricked up their ears.
Their thoughts began to race.
After all, they had come here to serve under him for their own protection
But they were hoping for a vassal-like arrangement, not complete submission that meant selling themselves out for some length of time.
All the more so when the condition was "forever."
"Hey, are you threatening Ramiris?" Milim stood up, annoyed.
After all, Ramiris was her friend.
And just because Milim acted spoiled and willful, it didn't mean she was foolish.
In fact, you could say that anyone capable of becoming a Demon Lord couldn't possibly be simple-minded.
There was no way she'd just sit by and watch her friend be coaxed like a little child.
But Ramiris halted her impulsive outburst.
"Milim, I'm fine. Don't worry."
"But that condition..."
Milim wanted to argue further.
However, Ramiris didn't mind.
"The condition doesn't bother me. I'm honestly pretty weak."
She smiled, turned, and said, "But I do have one condition of my own."
"Let's hear it."
She and Milim were probably the only ones who dared to make conditions with him.
Take Frey and Luminus, off to the side
Hearing Rei Ao's own terms had made them second-guess themselves.
They'd rather refuse than negotiate because they dreaded becoming the next Clayman.
"That is... from now on, I want to live here."
That was Ramiris's conditionextremely simple.
So simple that everyone looked surprised.
Rei Ao frowned. "That's it?"
"Mhm, it looks really nice and comfortable here."
Ramiris nodded her little head.
"If that's all, I have no problem with it."
That request was trivial.
And Rei Ao naturally didn't mind.
But as he watched Ramiris's face light up, as though completely satisfied with this, a thought occurred to him.
"You currently have to reincarnate into a new body every so often, right?"
Even though the question was directed at Ramiris, it was Milim who froze up.
Because Ramiris's situation was still connected to the time Milim had gone berserk long ago.
Even someone as willful as Milim felt guilt over that.
"So you can tell as well, Rei Ao."
Ramiris admitted it.
She scratched her head in frustration.
"There's nothing I can do. When all my power was drained, I fell and became the Fairy Queen."
"But this cycle of reincarnation at least has one benefit: every time I'm reborn, I gain a new potential growth threshold."
In other words, a small silver lining among many drawbacks.
But it took a very long time to grow.
"Since you've chosen to submit to me, let me give you a gift."
"Hmm?"
As soon as Rei Ao finished speaking, Ramiris became aware that something was happening.
Her body seemed to be lifted by an invisible force from the palm of his hand.
Then she felt a certain power awakening inside her.
"!!!"
A golden light burst from her diminutive form and spread outward at high speed.
"W-what did you do to Ramiris?"
Milim's eyes widened.
Though she sounded accusatory, she didn't move.
Because she couldn't sense anything dangerous in that glowing ball of light.
"Heh, don't worry. She's not in any danger."
Rei Ao gave a light chuckle. "She's the very first Demon Lord to willingly submit to me. How could I treat her badly?"
"What... tremendous magic power!"
Sensing the abnormality, Luminus fixed her distinct-colored eyes on the growing orb of light.
She had a powerful hunch that something unimaginable was about to happen.
Sure enough
When the glowing orb grew to the height of an adult, it finally stopped.
Then the golden light gradually faded away.
And from within that light emerged not the tiny, fairy-like Ramiris they knew
