"What an unexpected approach—interesting, very interesting."Lucifer raised his wine glass toward Kino with a slight gesture."To the Demon King."
Maizekin also stared in astonishment, watching everything unfold.By exposing what he had and inciting human greed, Kino had led everyone to chase after greater wealth.
Mephisto held a contract that materialized in his hand, reading it closely.The contents clearly stated: Kino leads humanity to complete these plans, but the cost is that anyone who signs must obey him, and after death, their souls belong to him.
It was all real—though Kino had conveniently left out any time limit.At the very least, Mephisto himself knew dozens of ways to cheat humanity out of their end of the deal.
It wasn't like no one saw through it.But their eyes were blinded by greed.
So much regret now!If they had just followed Kino obediently from the beginning, they'd be living large instead of being stuck here as slaves.
"Xiao Mo, another round of Dream Voyage. I'm in a good mood today—let's drink more."Lucifer's lazy voice rang out.
"Yes, Master."Mephisto began mixing the cocktail expertly.
A few days later.
On a remote island blooming with vibrant flowers.Today was Tony and Pepper's wedding day.It was a small gathering—only close friends were invited, no media coverage.
The ceremony was set outdoors.Both sides of the walkway were lined with blossoming flowers.
"I think you've gone insane! I'm a Demon King, not a priest."Kino looked at Tony, utterly speechless.
"Who do you think made the priest profession go extinct in the first place?"Tony looked helpless.
He couldn't even find someone to fake being a priest—no one dared to.Even if Kino gave permission, if his believers found out...
Any pretend priest would go from human to ashes overnight.
That's right. A new church had arisen on Earth: the Church of the Demon King.Its followers were spread all over the world.
They believed the Demon King had come from Hell to punish the wicked, and that believing in him would save them from Hell after death.
"But I have no experience."
"No problem, I've already prepared everything. Just read the lines."Tony handed him a small note.
"...Fine."Kino reluctantly took it.
Just then, a rainbow beam descended from the sky.Everyone glanced up and quickly returned to their conversations.
Hela and Thor appeared at the venue, pulling a cart behind them.
Thor gave a slightly awkward bow."Thor Odinson, greets the God-King."
"Hmm. Why have you two come down?"Kino nodded, curious.
Hela's appearance made sense—but Thor?
"I'm looking for Loki, Your Majesty."Thor answered.
"I released Loki a long time ago. Finding him now will be difficult."During the recent chaos, Loki had been unusually quiet—no tricks or mischief. Kino had simply let him go.
With his illusion magic, only a handful on Earth could locate him.
"It's alright. I'll take my time. Also, this is our gift."Thor pulled the cloth off the cart.
Beneath it lay gleaming weapons and exquisitely crafted armor.
Tony's eye twitched. To the untrained eye, it looked like a raid, not a wedding.
"Welcome. Please, this way. Would you like a drink?""Any beer?""Of course..."
The two walked off together.
Kino looked at Hela, who had stayed silent throughout, and joked:"What's wrong? One trip back home and you forget how to speak Earth languages?"
"Nothing."Hela replied quietly, then found a chair to sit on.
At her feet, a small black dog lay yawning lazily.
She recalled her last encounter with Odin.She had become stronger, yet still completely powerless against him.
I know you hate me. But you can't beat me.Your only chance is to become one of his queens.
Hela clenched her fists tightly.The air around her grew heavy and oppressive.Anyone who tried to approach her immediately shivered and backed away.
"Hela."A voice pulled her from her thoughts.
She sensed an unfamiliar divine aura.
Looking up, Xiaoyu was descending from the sky with the three little ones—and newly joined Morgan Stark.
Fenrir, at Hela's feet, bared his teeth and got up, ready to attack the intruding god.But before he could, a hand smacked him on the head.
"Hela! You're so big now!"Xiaoyu landed in front of Hela.
"Teacher, it's been a long time."Damian greeted her politely.
"Hela, are you okay now? You got beat up pretty bad last time. But Uncle Kino said you were fine."Nina said with concern.
"Yeah, you were smacked around like a ball! And you're still okay. Hela, you're so cool!"Penny chimed in.
"Hela is awesome, hehe!"Morgan didn't really know Hela, but joined the praise with her friends anyway.
Their innocent compliments made Hela's face darken.
She grabbed Nina and Penny by the cheeks."You little brats dare mock me after what happened?"
"No no! We're just worried about you!""Let go, Hela—it hurts!"
Morgan shrank back fearfully and covered her face.
"Hela, is this dog yours?"Xiaoyu pointed at the black pup.
"Yes, his name is Fenrir."
Hela let go of the two girls.
"Fenrir! I want to pet him!""But why is he so small? He's huge in the myths!"
Penny and Nina ran over, hands buried in Fenrir's fur.Warned by Hela, Fenrir just lay down quietly and obediently.
"What's going on with your divine aura?"Hela asked.
"Hehe, I'm the Mayan goddess Chen Xiaoyu—just like you, a deity. Surprised?"Xiaoyu puffed up proudly.
"Mayan goddess? From the pantheon that got wiped out?"Hela asked thoughtfully.
"That's right—we were wiped—Wait, no! I'm still alive!"
"Half-dead at best. No divine body, no divine technique. At most, you're a demigod."
"Still counts as a god!"
"Mhm."
"Don't brush me off!"Xiaoyu stomped in frustration.
Under the warm sunlight, a romantic Western-style wedding was underway.The open-air chapel was beautifully decorated.White lilies bloomed along both sides of the aisle, their sweet fragrance lingering in the air.
Guests dressed in elegant formal wear sat on wooden pews, waiting expectantly for the ceremony to begin.
As the soft strains of The Wedding March played, Pepper walked down the petal-covered aisle on her father's arm.
Wearing a flowing white wedding dress, she looked like a princess straight out of a fairy tale.Her veil fluttered gently as she gazed straight ahead at Tony.
Tony stood there, frozen in admiration.
Pepper's father whispered a few words, then placed her hand in Tony's and stepped aside.
Guests watched with blessing, joy, and longing in their eyes.
Tony led Pepper to stand before the priest.
The priest wore ceremonial robes and held a Bible, the corners of his mouth twitching.Would Lucifer kill him for this?
Tony and Pepper looked at him expectantly.
