Chapter 260: Unexpected

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

(Asahi POV)

The silence that followed Lucifer's defeat made me chuckle. Lilith defended her unconscious husband, tears streaking down her cheeks.

Do I feel bad for her?

Of course not.

The guy had every intention to kill me even though I did nothing.

"My king, I think the spell might have been… too effective," Baal said after he returned to his usual towering form.

"What happened?"

"The gluttonous flies might have… consumed more than just magic power."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Something irreversible might happen to this devil as I… ate his—My king should see it yourself."

"Ah, Lucifer… you are fine."

The devil in question woke up and looked around. He shoved Lilith aside and slammed his head on the floor. "I accept my defeat."

My ears must be mistaken. Lucifer doing a dogeza-style apology… what the hell is going on!

I wasn't the only one surprised. Every devil and fallen had their jaws dropped at this development.

"Baal, you said something about consuming too much… did you consume his Sin?"

"Ahahaha. Master, Baal is quite the glutton. His appetite also caused a lot of trouble in the mythology."

Leme's explanation prompted Baal to lower his head. "...Apologies, My King."

"It's not your fault… you did well by bringing a devil to the right side."

"Master, when will you return? Leme wants to try new naughty things."

I had shut down my avatar before coming here, leaving Diva alone with her games. The weeb Diva had converted her room into a theatre just to watch anime and cultured hentai.

'Maybe in an hour.'

I still have to deal with the aftermath and the talks here. Maybe my presence was unneeded for this shitshow.

"Please accept my apology! If you don't—" Lucifer made a dark blade of demonic power and put it on his neck. "I will kill myself."

This guy became too straight!

Hold on. A kind devil king? Isn't that interesting? The other devil kings will kick him out or execute him for being an embarrassment, leading to rebellion from Lucifer's wife, Lilith. Yep, the perfect recipe for civil war. As Biblical God's successor, I can't launch a conquest on the Underworld without a political reason. A civil war will give me a legal reason to step in and 'stop' the war.

Everyone in the coliseum stared at me, waiting for my answer except for the devil kings; they cast their gazes on Lucifer filled with utter hatred and disgust. Gabriel, the kindest soul of Heaven, looked at him with compassionate eyes.

"Alright. I forgive you."

My kindness moved Lucifer to tears. He banged his head on the floor, cracking the hard concrete with sheer impact.

"Thank you!" Lilith sniffed, snot dripping down her red nose. Never thought the woman Hades used to breed Super Devils far in the future was an elegant and haughty woman.

Father-in-law dragged Euclid away to probably heal him. Grayfia landed before me and quietly stood by my side.

"You think I went overboard with your brother?"

"A little… he deserved most of it. He had always looked up to me a little too much… it was about time for him to grow out of this."

I nodded. Incest is only wincest when I'm involved. I'll have to teach my sons not to ogle their beautiful moms.

God ruffled my hair, a proud smile floating on his face. "Lad, that's one way to end Satan's career."

"I know right. I'm just special."

"Too special."

"So, like can I go now? I got something to do."

God glanced back at the devils trying to deal with the chaotic crowd. "No meeting today. No point for you to stick around."

That's good.

Gabriel approached with a sunny smile, her bouncing breasts creating a wondrous sight for sore eyes. "Asahi, you were too violent!"

I smiled wryly. Did she even realize we were having a battle to death?

"Yeah. I'm a bad guy."

"I didn't say Asahi was bad. Your slaps ruined his face. He is your brother-in-law!"

"Those wounds are only superficial to an Ultimate-class devil. He can heal those in a fortnight."

Azazel butted into our conversation with his opinion. Gabriel glared at him, prompting the fallen angel to scratch the back of his head.

"I suppose these devils learned something today. They won't underestimate someone ever again."

"Underestimating someone is worse than ignorance," God shared his 'wisdom.'

"Sorry," Gabriel said, pinching her earlobes. "I didn't know Asahi was trying to teach them a lesson."

Cute...

"I shouldn't have brought her here," God said, shaking his head. "This child is too clueless for her own good."

"I'm not! Sandalphon, am I clueless?"

Sandalphon, who seemed to be gazing in the distance, suddenly became the center of attraction. "Lady Gabriel?"

"Hum." Gabriel grabbed my hand. She put it on her fluffy hair and looked up with puppy eyes. "You promised."

The cute Seraph redeemed the 'promised headpats' coupon, so I had to stop everything and spoil the childish Seraph until she became dizzy and fell unconscious in my embrace.

God and Azazel looked at me with shock in their eyes. "What the fuck did you do!" was written all over their faces.

I left the fainted Seraph in Sandalphon's hands and escaped the chaos with my maid.

"Asahi-kun."

Nao's soft voice chimed behind me. I quickly turned and ambushed her with a hug. I snuggled my cheeks against her, breathing in the fresh scent of my lover. I almost lost myself in the dreamy sensation but Nao's cough hauled me back to the real world.

"Nao?"

She tightened her arms and hid her face in my chest. "We have a problem."

Nao mostly tried to deal with her problems by herself. Perhaps it stemmed from being a lot older than me or her training as a teacher gave her this dutiful. The problem might be a big one.

"Go on."

"Alise left with the party."

"I see. She truly rebelled."

So the redhead chose spanking over freedom.
