Imp to Demon King: A Journey of Conquest

In an atmosphere of awe and respect, the subjects gathered the demonic kobolds' corpses.

Meanwhile, his heart raced against his chest as his finger drew an anticipating arc through the air to open his kill notifications.

[You and your subjects have defeated 3000 tier two level 15 demonised kobolds. You have gained 450000 experience points.]

[You and your subjects have defeated the tier three level 30 boss: Guldock. You have gained 9000 experience points.]

[Congratulations on levelling up. Please check your interface and decide how to distribute your points.]

'Hehehe. You tried to nerf my sweet experience points? I'll fix it with quantity!'

His lips split into a provocative smirk as he flicked a middle finger towards the ground, hoping Baal would see it.

Then, he opened his interface and distributed his points.

"I can't believe this raid made my stats jump by around sixty percent!"

He clenched and unclenched his fists, cracked his neck and relaxed his wrists, feeling power course through his muscles as they tensed with each movement.

Yet, his eyes were already set on the fortieth level and his third evolution.

'But before that, give me my rewards for being the first to reach level thirty!'

A burst of adrenaline filled his trembling fists as the notification reverberated in his ears a second later.

[Congratulations on being the first lord to reach level 30! Awarding the special building:...]

[Tiamat's interference detected, warning, warning.]

Upon reading the familiar messages, his lips twitched, and his face collapsed.

"Not again! You made all the pantheons label me public enemy number one last time. Let me get my reward in peace!"

However, he could only watch the same scene repeat itself powerlessly.

[Appep, Izanagi, Loki, Njord, Chaos, Eris, and Set sided with Tiamat.]

[The nine demon kings laugh at you but side with Tiamat to infuriate the other deities further.]

[Baal says he's impatient to devour that finger you dared to flick at him.]

"Come, then! Did you think I would cower forever when you're trying to kill me every three days?" He flipped him another finger and cursed him profusely. "Ha! Rot in the demon realm like the dog you are!"

[Belial and Zagan exploded into laughter at your mad defiance and are telling Baal to suck his thumb and shut up.]
Continue your journey with m|v-l'e m,p y r

[Baal appeared in Zagan's territory and asked him to get down and meet his end. Today, only eight demon kings will remain.]

[Belial grumbled about being too lazy to move but went to help Zagan, cursing Baal for his shamelessness in picking a fight with his weaker friend.]

'So they're not united... Well, they're demons, after all. I bet most are loners. That's why they don't interfere with each other that much.'

This crucial detail held significant value since he planned to kill them all one day.

With their numerous demonic legions, he knew he would have no chance if they gathered together. Baal alone had sixty-six under his command, meaning they would have between two to three thousand legions if they worked together.

The thought alone sent a chill down his spine and a bead of icy sweat to form on his forehead.

'Let's not think about the distant future for now and focus on the present.'

A steely glint flashed in his eyes as he watched the notification text shift in interest.

[The other gods rejected Tiamat's demand for The Dragon's Maw Citadel as a reward.]

'Sister, isn't that the same reward you ask for last time? What made you think they would accept after the first refusal?!'

[Tiamat: They're a bunch of petty rats. The citadel is mine! I can give it to whoever I want, you bunch of trashy bastard usurpers!]

'Why do you send it to me? Send it to them!'

He rolled his eyes at the message before continuing to read.

[The other gods rejected Appep's Spire of Oblivion.]

'Again with the insane buildings? Guys, think about the balance before making crazy offers!'

[Huang Di steps forward to calm everyone down and proposes a Spiritual Qi Tower, adding that it won't help the demon much since they can't gather Qi.]

[The other gods find the idea enticing and are mocking you for the useless reward you would get.]

[The other gods approved Huang Di's proposition.]

[Awarding the special building for your achievement: The Spiritual Qi Tower!]

"A useless building?" His lips curled into a mischievous grin as he eyed Wukong's figure and the Jindou Yun engulfing the kobold's corpses. "That's what I need instead, fools! Huang Di deserves his title as a wise emperor, and Tiamat's decision to strike a deal with him is exceptional!"

He clenched his fists in victory, a solution to help the monkey king shatter his seal falling from the sky... literally.

'I don't know what Tiamat gave him, but he maybe felt bad and is trying to give me the tools to restore Wukong's strength?' He tapped his finger on his lips for a second before he shrugged. 'It's great, and it's all that matters.'

With the reward received and impatient to see the new building, he clapped his hands to draw his subjects' attention. Lips parting, he pointed a finger at Maven.

"Show us where the chests and elemental gems are."

The kobold nodded, respect and determination flashing in his eyes before his voice resounded.

"Follow me. But first, I want to thank you for stopping my father and mad friends. Even if they would have died after a few days, imagining the horrors they could have committed still chills my blood." His right hand placed over his heart, Maven bowed in gratitude. "Thank you for allowing them to depart before they stained their hands."

He nodded at the kobold before following him to get the last thing he came for. Yet, his lips quivered as a question couldn't help but thunder in his mind.

'I shouldn't tell him about our initial plan to kill them all, right?'
