"Will everyone receive an invitation?"
"Theoretically, yes."
"What about Guy?"
Dino more or less understood that this so-called invitation was actually Rin announcing her existence to the world.
Luo Hao had come over and given them a thorough beating.
From beginning to end, they had only one choice, and that was to accept the invitation and obediently attend.
"Guy…"
Since Leon was the first to be invited by Luo Hao, he had more information than Dino and Dagruel.
"She has already joined the Monster Nation."
"…"
Dino, who had been waiting for Guy, the strongest of the Ten Great Demon Lords, to speak, instantly gave up on all his ideas.
Just give up. What else could he do?
Even Guy had surrendered. If he did not, was he waiting to die?
"Indeed, that great one must be the revived Star King Dragon."
First, Veldora submitted, and then Guy joined. This further indicated Rin's close relationship with Star King Dragon.
"Well."
"If it's Star King Dragon, then there's nothing we can do."
Star King Dragon was the creator god. The entire world was created by him.
If there had to be a monarch, Star King Dragon was undoubtedly worthy.
"When is it?"
Dagruel had not seen the invitation yet. He took it out, opened it, and scanned it for a few moments. "Three days from now, huh…"
"It's written very clearly on this."
"Inviting the Ten Great Demon Lords to attend a feast held by the Monster Nation."
Dino read out a sentence from the invitation. "Inviting the Ten Great Demon Lords, so that also includes Milim, Ramiris, Luminous, and…"
"Sky Queen Frey and Lion King Carrion."
"Yes."
"That's pretty much it."
"You forgot Clayman."
Leon reminded Dino when he left someone out.
"Huh?"
"Are you serious? Frey and Carrion still have a chance to reach our realm."
Clayman?
What did he have?
From Dino and Leon's perspective, it was easy to see Clayman's true nature.
This guy did not have the qualifications to awaken as a True Demon Lord.
From the very beginning, the moment he acquired so many corrupted souls, Clayman's fate had already been sealed.
He was bound to fail during his awakening, then be forever stuck at around 800,000 magicules, unable to advance any further in this life.
"You mean…"
Dino asked curiously, "Will that violent big sister invite Clayman?"
The violent big sister he referred to was, of course, Luo Hao, who had just threatened him.
In Dino's eyes, Luo Hao was a terrifying female tyrannosaurus. If he had not knelt quickly, his fate definitely would not have been any better than Dagruel's.
"Pfft!"
Thinking of that situation, Dino could not help but laugh. "I'm kind of looking forward to how Clayman will react."
"Clayman."
Dagruel first corrected Dino's way of addressing Luo Hao, then said, "I imagine it will be very difficult for Big Sister Luo Hao, right?"
"Tear and Laplace too…"
At the same time, inside the castle of the Puppet Kingdom, Clayman stood anxiously in front of a glass window.
Behind him, a crystal ball sat on a table.
However, the crystal ball was empty, silently declaring yet another failure in his attempts to contact his companions in the Moderate Harlequin Alliance.
"Why aren't they answering?"
A few days ago, Clayman had received a message from Yuuki.
The other party stated that he had encountered some trouble and would be relocating the Moderate Harlequin Alliance's base to the Eastern Empire.
This news greatly surprised Clayman.
He did not understand Yuuki's reason for making this decision and expressed his dissatisfaction quite firmly.
The reason for this was that the Eastern Empire bordered the Puppet Nation of Jistav, directly north of Clayman's territory.
As for the Kingdom of Englassia, where Yuuki was originally located, it was a member of the Western Nations, separated from Clayman's territory by the entire Great Jura Forest, along with the Kingdom of Falmuth.
In other words, according to the plan, Clayman and Yuuki were located in the east and west of the world, respectively.
He was supposed to become one of the Ten Great Demon Lords and then, relying on his cunning and strength, gradually annex the territories of Milim, Carrion, and Frey, these three Demon Lords.
Yuuki's sudden shift of focus was undoubtedly a challenge to Clayman's abilities.
Could he tolerate this?
How could he!
With Clayman's pride, there was no way he could give up the chance to prove himself!
Moreover, the person Clayman had been loyal to from beginning to end was Demon Lord Kagali, not Yuuki. The companions he truly recognized were also Laplace and the others.
This guy, Yuuki, who had suddenly appeared, made Clayman very suspicious.
He felt that Yuuki was an ambitious person.
The other party only regarded them as tools and pawns, not true companions at all.
That guy was definitely here to seize power.
Seeing that he was doing well in the east of the continent, Yuuki used the excuse of changing territory to come and snatch away his achievements. What kind of joke was this?
To resurrect Demon Lord Kazalim, who was now Kagali, Clayman had spent a full 400 years achieving his current status.
"I will never acknowledge such a despicable fellow!"
Clayman swore that when Yuuki arrived, he would definitely expose the hypocrite's true face and make Footman, Tear, Laplace, and his most respected Kagali wake up from Yuuki's deception.
"Just wait."
Clayman crushed the wine glass in his hand, letting the red wine spill out. "I will let you know who made the greatest contribution!"
"Hmm…"
Suddenly, a slightly puzzled voice echoed through the empty hall.
"Who?!"
Clayman's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw that, at some unknown point, a girl of impossible beauty, dressed in an oriental long dress, was sitting on the throne that usually belonged to him.
"Who are you?"
"How did you get in?!"
Clayman's expression was extremely grim.
He had not sensed the girl's presence at all.
The fact that she had silently arrived here meant something self-evident.
She could infiltrate this place so easily.
If she harbored any malice, if she was an assassin...
Clayman did not dare think any further.
"Are you really a Demon Lord?"
"Let me confirm first."
Luo Hao scrutinized Clayman from head to toe, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed. "You are the last of the Ten Great Demon Lords, Clayman, right?"
