My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 94: Ancient Demon’s Territory

The fierce clashes in the sky lasted for an hour. The armies from various factions retreated to their respective backlines to avoid being consumed in clashes between pinnacle-level powerhouses.

The battlefield around the ancient secret realm’s portal had become a wasteland with lots of demonic energy, poison, and darkness.

Thousands of moves collided between eight ancient demon ancestors against the God of Poison from the upper realm. The naked eye couldn’t follow the exchanges in each clash.

The Great Sage Black Dragon, also known as The God of Poison, activated his domain. A massive spherical domain then trapped the eight ancient demon ancestors. Their fight continued in the poison domain.

The ancient demon kings and their elite warriors massacred the Tiangong Sacred Land’s people, including the reinforcements that arrived too late.

The massive flying serpent retreated into the poison domain. The ancient demons accomplished their tasks with minimal casualties.

At that time, Ely had just invited Evelyn and the representatives of the Human Realm to a discussion to define this problematic realm’s boundary.

Representatives from the Northern Realm also arrived after her disciples invited them.

The Demon Realm’s side had yet to give an answer, but she was still waiting for their arrival.

Several hundred monsters emerged from the secret realm’s portal, and Ely’s disciples immediately slaughtered those monsters. They then guarded the surrounding as the grand meeting would be held.

Even though the deadly God-tier battle was taking place in the sky, several parties had already gathered on the other side of the realm’s portal for a discussion.

Several 9th Rank humans and more than three dozen Human Emperors and Saints came to answer the Sacred Sakura Holy Land’s call.

They felt somewhat anxious because the ancient demon kings were also present for this discussion. However, the thing that caused the most tension was Sacred Sakura’s people.

It was only two dozen people, but each was super combatant.

Twenty armored people were only at 5th Rank, but they could exert strength comparable to a group of 8th Rank Emperors. Not to mention the two cloaked girls over there... Each of them could rival a Demi-God.

As for the legendary nine-tailed snow fox, known as the Celestial Fox... nobody dared to doubt the Deity-level expert’s strength.

However, this kind of powerful group’s leader was the dark knight with an extremely long sword hovering at his back.

The Young Demon God. The ancient demons referred to the leader of the Sacred Sakura group by that name. The wise and righteous Demon God.

"Listen, they are Sacred Sakura’s allies of the Human Realm and the Northern Realm. And they are the ancient demons of the Ancient Night Secret Realm.

The outside world wished to explore the unexplored ancient secret realm. Still, the ancient demons are already planning to invade the outside world for the territory.

From now on, the border between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, and part of the disputed territory on the border of the Northern Realm is the ancient demons territory." Ely introduced the respective sides and acted as an arbiter.

She opened the Terra World map and marked the border as the ancient demons’ territory.

If any side would wage a great war again, they would first deal with the super-powerful ancient demons. It would become a massacre at that time because most ancient demons were far stronger than the demon race. Not to mention, the ancient demons could be considered half-immortals.

"I object. Ancient demons already have their own land in their secret realm. Why must we let them occupy the three realms’ border." An old Saint voiced out his protest.

"Do you wish for another great war? If so, please invade their territory, and you will die gruesomely. This is a notification, not a discussion for your opinion." Ely pointed at the ancient demons.

"These areas are ravaged by the war for eons, but it’s pretty good. We only need to plant forests into these barren lands, and it will be the perfect place to cultivate." One of the demon kings inspected the surroundings. He was quite satisfied with this area.

The ancient demons could feel many negative qi and evil aura from millions of souls who died on the battlefield. If refined properly, it was a perfect place for demons to cultivate.

"Well, will they invade Human Realm or the others? If so, it will only make one more dangerous demon side..." Evelyn raised her hand.

Ely glanced at the ancient demons.

Seeing that, Demon King Martin was deputed to speak. "Since we got the territory without doing anything, we have no reason to fight you. Our territory is very wide, but there will be many demonic monsters. We won’t control them. So, please beware of them and guard your borders well. We already have other objectives to achieve."

Every ancient demon king agreed. They had other goals since their Young Demon God could remove their restriction curse. They also built an ancient demon great alliance.

After being haunted by the curse for so long, they wished to break through to the pinnacle without worrying about anything. The path to immortality was already so near.

"That’s what you heard. Unless you attack them, they won’t attack you. They are also Sacred Sakura’s allies." Ely nodded in agreement.

The Northern Realm’s alliance didn’t mind because it only changed a little besides adding one more demon race. Still, these ancient demons would be friendlier than the demons of the Demon Realm because of Sacred Sakura’s intervention.

As for the Human Realm’s alliance, they tried to set up several conditions to ensure the security of their territory.

Nevertheless, the ancient demons were still the demons. They understood Sacred Sakura’s intention to prevent further destruction as a neutral side. Yet, the human side would be disadvantaged if they weren’t careful.

Since Sacred Sakura mediated with Blood Moon Pavilion and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace as the overseers, no one could utter any more complaints.

The armistice agreement was signed by all parties.

The ancient demon kings then shook hands with the leaders of the Northern Realm and Human Realm at the request of the Young Demon God.

"What about the demons from the Demon Realm? They decided not to answer your calls, Young Demon God." One of the ancient demon kings pointed at the armies under the red sky in the distance.

"Master, our messenger birds have just been slaughtered. The demon side does not wish for any agreement or discussion. They expected more blood and carnage." Gabriella came to report.

"Slaughter is commonplace, but the current era of demons is foolish and unwise. They know nothing but slaughter as their demonic path." Demon King Martin shook his head.

"But, where does their confidence come from? They are challenging the two major realms and Sacred Sakura’s allies, including us, the ancient demons." Demon Queen Sarah harrumphed.

Her son was already the youngest Demon God, and she would support whatever his son wanted to do. And yet, the demons of the Demon Realm chose to challenge them.

"..." Ely was momentarily silent as she had expected it.

She only didn’t expect the nightmare demon’s misunderstanding would bring her this far. She led the ancient demons to a peace agreement with the Human Realm and Northern Realm’s representatives. Ancient demons also gained territory in the outside world with no wars.

She couldn’t be the nightmare demon young lord or the Young Demon God for long. If the demons of the Demon Realm refused to cooperate, she would be in a difficult situation.

At that moment, Ely recalled her primary objective to unseal her Goddess Master. If the great war still broke out, she could slay some powerful evil creatures to increase her stats.

If not for the nightmare demon’s misunderstanding, she might be on her allied forces’ side to fight the demons and ancient demons.

However, it had dragged on, and she was stuck in this situation. Regardless, it wasn’t too bad since her allies and ancient demons ended up in temporary peace.

"They have the evil and several sacred lands as their backers." Gabriella lowered her head slightly as her master looked at her.

"The evil? Do you mean the devil?" Ely glanced at Yuuki and noticed Yuuki’s complicated expression.

"Y-yes, that’s it. The devil." Gabriella nodded.

*Crack* *Rumble* *Boom!*

The dark poison domain in the sky shattered into particles. The eight ancient demon ancestors were heavily injured, but the God of Poison’s condition was far more miserable than theirs.
