?

"Additionally, the matter of the dowry is being prepared as swiftly as possible. General Stanley has divided his forces into three, laying siege to territories. In seven days, Your Majesty will not be disappointed."

Charlotte slowly began her report.

This time, the turbulence caused by Mr. Owen and Miss Leslie in Middle Earth had boosted the morale of the Azure Kingdom to unprecedented heights.

Every mage from the Azure Kingdom now felt completely different about Owen and Leslie.

Previously, officials and noble families who were dissatisfied with Owen and Leslie, pretending to comply while opposing in secret, now felt only awe.

In Middle Earth, a land filled with the powerful, they managed to annihilate the Pyrothrone Kingdom, slay gods, and retreat unscathed.

Thus, within the Azure Kingdom, Leslie was now thoroughly idolized. Her commands were executed without question.

Whether it was the wedding between Owen and Leslie or the expansion of Azure Kingdom's territory, everyone was enthusiastic and proactive.

Seeing everything progressing smoothly, Leslie nodded in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, in the darkened skies of the Demon Realm.

Owen slowly opened his eyes. The dizziness caused by crossing realms gradually dissipated. He steadied himself and watched as the scene before him became clearer.

Ahead was an endless sea of dark clouds, pitch black like ink, appearing extremely oppressive.

Beneath the clouds was a grand and vast city, like a massive black beast lying in wait, exuding an immense sense of pressure.

Even from this high vantage point in the sky, only a small portion of this magnificent city could be seen, like a glimpse through a narrow lens.

The city was illuminated with countless lights. Flames and glowing gems of various colors adorned every corner, dispelling the dark fog that shrouded the city.

Demon Sky Citadel!

Seeing this city, the name "Demon Sky Citadel" immediately surfaced in Owen's mind.

The Demon Realm was incredibly vast, with various races and factions emerging constantly. Among them, the most prosperous and magnificent place was this Demon Sky Citadel!

It was also the residence of the Archdemon of the Demon Realm.

As Owen surveyed the Demon Sky Citadel below, the Archdemon beside him smiled faintly, waved a long sleeve, and transported Owen to the entrance of the Demon Sky Citadel.

At this moment, the gate of the Demon Sky Citadel was densely packed with the creatures of the Demon Realm: undead beings, skeletal races, flesh constructs, demonic beasts- countless species that made Owen's scalp tingle were present everywhere.

Most of these races exuded auras of madness and bloodlust, radiating extreme danger, and many bore various types of wounds, emitting savage and brutal energy.

Even Owen sensed danger from several of the beings here.

Evidently, the Demon Realm was exactly as the legends described - a place where power reigned supreme and bloodshed was rampant.

There were no rules here; the only law was the strength of one's fists!

Whoever's fists were stronger, set the rules!

Yet at this moment, these normally ruthless and domineering creatures, who ruled their respective territories, were all standing here obediently, not daring to breathe too loudly, bowing their heads in respect.

When the Archdemon appeared, all the gathered creatures of the Demon Realm knelt on one knee, shouting in unison:

"Welcome back, Your Highness, the Archdemon!"

Various reverent voices converged, resounding through the sky. Countless creatures knelt down like a tide, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.

Even though Owen had anticipated this, the sight of hundreds of thousands, millions of terrifying Demon Realm creatures bowing simultaneously was still enough to shake him. This was the deterrent power of the Archdemon in the Demon Realm?

While Owen's mind was in turmoil, those Demon Realm creatures who had respectfully greeted the Archdemon shifted their gazes to him.

Among these Demon Realm creatures, there were beings who had reached the god-tier, God King, and even God Emperor levels.

Their gazes, densely packed and converging, carried an instinctive divine might that even a God King-level being would struggle to withstand.

Fortunately, Owen was no ordinary person. He stood straight, meeting their gazes without flinching.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed tense.

But this situation only lasted for a brief moment.

After emotions like shock, astonishment, and solemnity flashed across their faces, all of them turned to expressions of respect and bowed deeply, shouting:

"We greet Your Highness, the Demon King!"

Their voices were loud and resonant.

Demon King?

Owen was dumbfounded and quickly looked at the Archdemon beside him.

The Archdemon covered her mouth, laughing softly. "As my man, you are naturally the Demon King of the Demon Realm. They're greeting you. Why are you just standing there? Greet them back. They may look fierce, but they're actually easy to get along with and straightforward."

Owen was completely at a loss.

What the hell is this?

He had just arrived in the Demon Realm, and now he was the Demon King?

"Don't worry, your coronation and dowry will not be missing!"

Seeing Owen's perplexed expression, the smile on the Archdemon's face deepened as she

added.

And at this moment, the countless kneeling creatures of the Demon Realm also shouted in

unison:

"May the Archdemon and the Demon King be together forever and have a joyous marriage!" Their booming voices echoed throughout every corner of the Demon Realm.

After that, the gathered Demon Realm creatures parted to the sides, revealing a wide path leading straight into the city.

The path was already covered with a crimson carpet, and the scent of roses gently drifted

down like raindrops.

Various fireworks roared, and ribbons fluttered in the air.

This... this turned into a wedding scene just like that?

Owen's eyelids twitched.

This was too fast!

He wasn't prepared for this at all.

"Let's go. Once we complete today's grand wedding ceremony, you and I will be husband and

wife!"

The Archdemon looked at Owen with a smile.

"You're serious?" Owen's eyes widened.

He didn't deny that he had some charm, but the Archdemon was the supreme ruler of an entire

realm, an ancient being who had lived for countless years.

If she were truly interested in worldly emotions, she would have fallen in love long ago.

Now, she suddenly wanted to marry him? Everything about this felt suspicious. "Can this be a joke? Don't worry, although it seems rushed, I've already had everything prepared in a hurry. After entering the city, I'll crown you as king. From now on, in the Demon Realm, you will be second only to me, standing above countless beings."

"The entire Demon Realm is my dowry for you!"

"What can Leslie give you? An insignificant human kingdom like Azure Kingdom-how can it

compare to the entire Demon Realm?"

The Archdemon extended her slender, snow-white finger, lifting Owen's chin, and said

seriously.

"Whether you're sincere or not, I don't want to!"

Owen shook his head, swatting away the Archdemon's finger.

"Today, I'm marrying you. Whether you're willing or not, you have to be."

The Archdemon chuckled softly, "Don't you humans have a saying? If you can't resist, then

just enjoy it."

Owen's throat bobbed as he tried to refute, but the Archdemon's words were not entirely

without reason.

At his current power level, saying anything was pointless.

He could only take it one step at a time.

Seeing Owen fall silent, the Archdemon leaned close to his ear and whispered with a hint of

shyness, "Don't worry. Once you're with me, I won't let your future children suffer any

hardship."

Owen: "..."

And so, under the Archdemon's coercion, Owen was forced to walk alongside her, entering the Demon Sky Citadel amid the cheers of countless demon creatures.

"Although he's just a tiny human, he can be considered a tough guy. His talent and potential

are enormous, barely worthy of the Archdemon!"

"I thought the Archdemon was eyeing a weakling, but after the battle in Middle Earth, it

seems the Archdemon's vision is indeed beyond us ordinary folks." "Exactly. He can obliterate god-tier mages at his current level. Once he steps into the Archgod level, perhaps it will be the time for our Demon Realm to unify the planes!"

Countless Demon Realm creatures were whispering among themselves.

They were in awe of Owen's performance in Middle Earth, and even the most critical demon

creatures could not find any fault.

Owen's only shortcoming for now might be his low rank.

But this is the Demon Realm-once he becomes the Demon King, with endless resources at

his disposal, he would quickly grow, becoming a true Demon King in every sense.

A being second only to one, reigning supreme over billions!
