Chapter 828: Chapter 755: The Man Who Didn’t Return All Night
The next day, early morning.
Even when the day had become bright, the square in front of the Supreme Castle remained crowded.
A number of the Demon Clan members and even the Demon Clan officers stayed up all night here, some already feeling drowsy, yet still forcing themselves to stay alert, not daring to fall asleep.
From time to time, these Demons would cast their gaze to the very front of the Supreme Castle.
There, the six Demon Sisters were present, and along with Lilith, seven Transcendent Level existences kept watch here for the entire night.
However…
“…”
“…”
“…”
Amidst the oppressive silence, several of the six Demons already showed extreme displeasure on their faces.
Especially Ai Yi, Chafne, and Camina, their faces were almost turning black.
Sera and Lide were not as severe, yet they kept sighing repeatedly, speechless.
As for Milu, she had long since fallen asleep, lying sweetly atop Lide, who had transformed into a gigantic beast several meters tall.
Originally, Lilith should have been sleeping sweetly like Milu, unconcerned about the occasion.
But since last night, this little Goddess had been wearing a worried expression, with her Evil Energy fluctuating violently several times, causing the surrounding Demons to become somewhat anxious, looking at Lilith as if they were gazing at a fierce beast that might lose its mind at any moment, making them tremble.
Fortunately, Ai Yi and Chafne were watching nearby, otherwise, this little Goddess might have gone berserk by now, right?
But at this moment, even Ai Yi and Chafne’s patience was nearly worn out.
Finally, Chafne could hold back no longer.
“Where on earth did that bastard get whisked off to, not returning all night?”
Chafne gritted her teeth, her tone resentful like a wife who had waited for her husband all night, making the expressions of Liel, Hart, and Gray beside her unpleasant.
“Hmph.”
Ai Yi snorted coldly, her face full of hostility.
“I wonder, could something really have happened to him?”
Camina raised such a possibility.
“I don’t think so.” Sera furrowed her brows, saying, “To be able to silently abduct someone right under the noses of Ai Yi and Lilith, besides the person I suspect, there shouldn’t be anyone capable of doing it.”
And if her suspicion was correct, or if that individual truly existed, then there’s no reason for them to harm Shane.
But in that case…
“What exactly is that Hero doing, not returning for a whole night?”
Lide murmured words that made Ai Yi’s expression even colder, and even gave Chafne a sense of grievance.
After all, this situation, no matter how you look at it, seemed to be something Shane would find delightful, but extremely frustrating for the rest of them.
“Might as well just ignore him.”
Chafne proposed this suggestion.
“… My man, even if he dies, should die in front of me.”
Ai Yi coldly stated, implying that she would wait, but once the person returned, she would likely deal with him.
“Perhaps something we don’t know about really happened?”
Lide made a fainthearted defense for Shane.
“Whatever happened, since he let us worry like this, he should be prepared to pay the price.” Camina said irritably to Sera, “I think we should just tie up that Hero and keep him at home, at least he won’t run around everywhere, and he can still be of use.”
Hearing Camina’s words, Glati and Bretti both perked up, nearly raising their hands to indicate they had something to say.
Unfortunately, Sera didn’t give these two scheming Dragon Girls the chance.
“I don’t mind.” Sera glanced at the Demons and said, “As long as you’re not afraid of the dreadful consequences if he stirs up trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Camina was speechless.
She knew it was unrealistic.
Shane was not your average Hero, although he hadn’t stepped into their realm yet, he already had the power to contend with them.
Coupled with the Holy Sword’s restraint, the Supreme God’s Blessing protection, and the likely involvement of the Demon King’s Treasure, if that Hero really caused trouble, the Demon Realm would be far from peaceful.
Not to mention, beside him was an Evil God who, upon hearing her words, was glaring at her fiercely.
Therefore, truly making a move against that Hero, even if successful, would probably result in a pyrrhic victory.
This made Camina increasingly irritable.
“Forget it, I’m not dealing with this.” Camina said resignedly, “He’s not even my fiancé, Ai Yi, you handle his matters yourself.”
With that, Camina turned around and entered the Supreme Castle.
“I’m heading back too.”
Chafne left, her face full of anger, as if genuinely furious, causing Liel, Hart, and Gray to follow with heavy expressions, appearing not at all pleased with Shane causing Chafne’s anger.
“Sigh…”
Lide sighed, carrying the sweet-sleeping Milu, she silently turned to leave.
With the departure of these four Demons, the surrounding Demon Clan and officers looked at one another, some dispersed and left, some entered the Supreme Castle, while others remained here, unwilling to leave the last two Demon Princesses.
Glati and Bretti, for example, stayed put.
Hette Yada also remained quietly on the side, saying nothing, only her occasionally flickering eyes revealing some of her inner feelings.
Thus, most people on the scene dispersed, leaving only Ai Yi, Sera, and Lilith leading.
“Sister Sera, you should head back as well.” Ai Yi said indifferently to Sera, “I can handle things here.”
Upon hearing this, Sera shook her head.
“I want to see how that Hero disappears and reappears.”
Sera refused Ai Yi with this simple reason.
Ai Yi knew that Sera must have some thoughts or something she wanted to verify, which is why she stayed here all along.
Therefore, Ai Yi didn’t say much more, just held Lilith’s hand, signaling her to calm down.
The loss of control of this Evil God was close to breaking point, and if no measures were taken, it might become troublesome.
At this thought, Ai Yi looked around.
“You all should step back for now.”
Ai Yi’s words were directed at the remaining Demon Clan around.
Upon closer inspection, some of the Demon Clan had already been affected by the evil energy occasionally emitted by Lilith, looking grim and frenzied.
“Master.”
“Master.”
Glati and Bretti wanted to say something.
“That’s enough, go and rest.” Ai Yi commanded in an indisputable tone, not giving them a chance to object, “Sister Sela and I are enough here.”
Glati and Bretti couldn’t say anything in response, helplessly withdrawing.
“You all should leave.”
Even Sera opened her mouth, causing the surrounding Demon Clan to look at each other and quietly retreat in the end.
The square in front of the Supreme Castle’s gates finally became open and empty.
On the scene, only Ai Yi, Sera, Lilith, and Hette Yada remained.
“I will stay here.”
Hette Yada stated calmly.
“Then you may stay.”
Sera, seeing this, had no intention of chasing her away.
With Hette Yada’s power, staying here wouldn’t let her be affected by the inadvertently emitted evil energy.
Even if Lilith went berserk, with Ai Yi and herself around, Hette Yada could protect herself.
Sera trusted her long-time subordinate and seeing Hette Yada had no intention of leaving, allowed her to stay.
Besides, with Sera’s mind, she could naturally guess why Hette Yada was staying here waiting for Shane.
Thus, Sera no longer paid attention to Hette Yada, who stood there silently.
“Alright, Lilith, calm down, that guy is fine.”
Ai Yi still held the restless Lilith’s hand, trying to calm her down.
“Ugh…”
Lilith’s large eyes were filled with anxiety, and she was extremely restless, looking as if she wanted to cause a commotion.
If it weren’t for her good relationship with Ai Yi, Ai Yi might not have been able to hold back from causing trouble herself.
Currently, Lilith was like a ticking time bomb, extremely dangerous.
Even Sera, watching from the side, couldn’t help but remark.
“No wonder she’s the Strongest Evil God who once turned the earth into Purgatory, her instability and danger could make one think she’s the Demon, the real Demon Clan member.”
Sometimes, Sera wondered what luck the Hero had to manage to subdue such an Evil God.
This unstable bomb was something she wouldn’t want to hold in her arms, yet Shane had the courage and successfully became this Evil God’s restraint, truly remarkable.
“No wonder the Divine Race is willing to leave her here and not take her back to the Divine World, perhaps even they are not confident in controlling Lilith?”
Sera pondered thoughtfully.
Apart from her evil nature, Lilith also governed chaos, being a genuine Goddess of chaos, it was normal for her to be unstable.
With this thought, Sera secretly gathered her power, ready to help Ai Yi restrain Lilith at any time.
At that moment…
“Buzz!”
The atmosphere suddenly trembled.
Ai Yi, Sera, Lilith, and Hette Yada’s expressions were all startled.
“He’s back!”
“He’s back!”
Ai Yi and Sera reacted simultaneously, even Lilith showed a look of surprise, rushing forward.
A figure smoothly returned amidst the trembling air.
“Boom!”
Lilith forcefully jumped into the person’s arms, causing a muffled crashing sound.
“Guh!”
Shane only felt a wave of dizziness, finally returning to the Demon Realm, and was hit heavily as soon as he landed.
“You…”
Ai Yi and Sera saw Shane’s return and approached him, opening their mouths to question something.
However, in the next second, their steps halted.
Sera’s face showed a strange expression.
Ai Yi’s expression completely turned cold.
