Why must the devil be Defeated?
Chapter 467 - 453 Consecutive appearances of important figures

Lidas’s expression changed as she turned her head to look towards the source of the voice.

The others present did the same, all turning their heads in unison.

Yet the sight that met their eyes, the arrival of the newcomer, caused their expressions to change for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

"Long time no see, Destiny God."

With a faint smile, as tempting as a ripe peach, a Demon Clan maiden of the Advanced Level walked in from outside the door.

Behind her, led by Jiasinta, a group of Demon Clan envoys followed suit, as respectfully as servants following their own king.

"Lord Sera!"

Excitement shone in the eyes of the Demons present.

"Moon... Moon Demon...!?"

Anxi, Yule, Liya, Harvis, and Vivian were all visibly moved.

Even Shane, Luoqi, and Ai Yi were taken by surprise.

"Sister Sera?"

Ai Yi stood frozen.

"How did she come as well?"

Shane couldn’t help but mutter.

"..."

Luoqi didn’t know what to say.

Following Ai Yi, Lilith, and Lidas, another Demon of the Six Great Demons level made a striking entrance.

It was none other than Sera, the leader of the Demon Clan.

"You came as well?"

Lidas couldn’t hide the surprise that appeared on her face once more.

Not just Lidas, but the others had not expected Sera, the Supreme of the Demon Clan, to arrive here.

"This is really blowing up..."

Nadura, hiding in the shadows, started to smile bitterly.

Only Sera herself, as if she had done a very common thing, glanced at Shane and Ai Yi, who was holding Shane’s hand, and smiled ambiguously.

"Anyway, it’s our younger sister’s announced engagement banquet, whom she vowed to protect. I should come as both the manager of the Demon Clan and the eldest daughter of the Demons," Sera said intriguingly, "But you, Lidas, your sudden arrival has probably thrown the Divine World into chaos. Anima and Nadura must be panicking, right?"

Upon hearing these words, Lidas’s reaction wasn’t seen yet, but Nadura herself kept smiling bitterly.

"I am indeed panicking."

Now, Nadura didn’t even know how to resolve the situation.

The arrival of Lidas was truly unexpected for her.

Not to mention, she hadn’t anticipated that Sera, the Supreme of the Demon Clan, would come too.

Seeing Ai Yi and Lilith firmly guarding Shane, and Sera blocking Lidas’s path forming a triangular enclosure with Ai Yi and Lilith surrounding Lidas in a smiling demeanor, Nadura knew that if things went wrong, she might have to intervene to prevent further conflict.

After all...

"It seems you aren’t very fond of that human over there, Destiny God," Sera calmly said. "But since he is a person that our sister claimed to protect, we of the Demon Clan will stand by his side."

The meaning of these words was clear to everyone.

"Even you, facing me, Ai Yi, and Evil God Lilith at the same time, would probably be troubled, right?" Sera took the initiative to restrain her, saying, "You don’t want to fight us here, do you?"

Lidas remained silent.

She indeed did not want to engage with three Demon Level beings here.

Regardless of whether she could win or not, if the four of them fought, the entire Royal Capital might be erased from the Human Realm.

What’s more, if they went out of control, the territory of the Kingdom could potentially disappear from the ground due to their battle.

Lidas naturally did not want to see that scene.

Not to mention...

"This time is different from a thousand years ago."

Sera suddenly restrained her expression and spoke softly.

"It is now ’night’."

With these words, Lidas felt her heart suddenly tighten.

Yes, it was night now.

And the night was the domain of the Moon Demon.

In this domain, facing the Moon Demon, probably without the need for Ai Yi and Lilith assisting, the Moon Demon alone could hold her off.

Thus, opposing Sera at this time was not a wise choice.

It is known that even in the war a thousand years ago, the Divine Race and Human Race launched their offense before nightfall.

The purpose was to prevent this Moon Demon from exhibiting her "true power."

Nadura also thought of this and became somewhat anxious.

It truly wasn’t wise to engage with the current Moon Demon.

Especially with Ai Yi and Lilith flanking her, even Lidas was bound to suffer a disadvantage.

"No choice then."

Nadura bit her lip, ready to reveal herself.

But tonight was destined to be lively.

"Sorry, everyone, please consider my position, and let’s try to calm things down, shall we?"

Accompanied by this urgent and helpless voice, a figure that seemed to have gathered all the life energy of the world appeared, carrying a glow full of life force.

Because of the confrontation between Lidas and Sera, the people who were already feeling uneasy saw the emergence of another new figure and first felt bitterness, then shock.

"Lady... Lady Anima!"

Yule’s voice once again trembled with excitement as he announced the arrival of another guest.

It was the Life Goddess, Anima.

"Oh, Anima, you came too."

Only then did Sera resume smiling, adopting a leisurely demeanor.

"Life Goddess Anima!"

Luoqi sighed and bowed to Anima.

"Here we go again..."

Shane didn’t know how to describe the current situation anymore.

Two of the Three Great Goddesses.

Two of the Six Great Demons.

Plus the strongest, the Evil God Lillith...

A gathering for an engagement party, several of the most top-level existences of the God and Demon Clans had appeared all at once.

The scene left Shane bewildered, made everyone’s hearts tremble, and forced Ai Yi and others to tense up, getting serious.

"Anima."

Lidas also looked toward Anima, her expression one of relief or perhaps regret.

"You’re too impulsive, Lidas."

Anima first chastised Lidas before looking over the entire gathering.

The next second, Anima’s voice, as warm and gentle as a mother’s, sounded.

"It seems I have caused much alarm, and I sincerely apologize."

"But please believe me, whether from the Divine Race or the Demon Clan, we all want to offer our sincerest blessings to today’s engagement party."

"Please do not let our presence affect you, and continue to celebrate this couple’s future union."

Upon hearing this, the tremors and tension in everyone’s hearts were finally soothed by Anima’s gentle voice.

The continuous appearances of high-level goddesses and demons had put them under this much psychological stress.

Anima noticed this.

"Lidas, let’s step out for a moment." Anima whispered to Lidas, then turned to Sera and Ai Yi, requesting, "Would you both join us in the back to continue our conversation, if you may?"

Undoubtedly, Anima wanted to manage the current situation by having the presences causing psychological pressure to take their leave first.

"I have no objections."

Sera spread his hands in an indifferent manner.

"Hmph."

Ai Yi just snorted coldly, but didn’t oppose.

"Father."

Luoqi then signaled to Anxi next to her.

Anxi immediately reacted, quickly rising to his feet while unconsciously wiping the sweat that had formed on his forehead.

"Please, move to the inner hall."

Anxi finally remembered his duties as host.

Anima and Sera both nodded, each looking toward Lidas and Ai Yi.

Lidas seemed a bit reluctant.

"I’ll go over."

Ai Yi said flatly to Shane.

"Go ahead."

Shane rolled his eyes, not wanting to comment further on the current situation, just eager to get past this Chapter and then worry about the rest.

Anima, perhaps noticing Shane’s displeasure, apologetically said, "I’m very sorry for disturbing your engagement party. Later, I will send a gift on behalf of the Divine Race; I hope you’ll not mind."

"Okay." Shane nodded, his expression slightly eased, and replied, "I’ll come over there in a bit."

He still wanted to see what exactly the Goddess of Fate planned to stir up.

"Alright."

Anima naturally had no objections.

However, what they all didn’t know was how the sight of the Life Goddess speaking so humbly to Shane, affected the others present.

Everyone turned their eyes toward Shane, beholding the incredible man.

The Dragon Demon was extremely affectionate toward him.

The Moon Demon cared for him through association.

The Evil God obeyed him without question.

Even the Life Goddess showed him the utmost respect.

They had thought Shane’s power was already great enough.

But his influence and power were far beyond what anyone had imagined.

In that moment, whether it was representatives from the Demon Clan or personnel from the Temple, or even dignitaries from various countries of the world, they all silently upgraded their view of Shane once more.

Even Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica fell silent, exchanging looks and sharing a wry smile.

Anxi and Liya also realized just how unimaginably powerful Shane was.

Under these circumstances, Anima, with a reluctant Lidas, and Sera, alongside an uninterested Ai Yi, proceeded to the inner hall at the respectful invitation of Anxi.

"Phew..."

Hidden away, Laischa finally let out the breath she had been holding, quickly taking Lasha and also fleeing.

She dared not let Lidas find her.

Otherwise, the trouble would be massive.

Shane and Luoqi then regrouped.

The pair just looked at each other and after a while, both let out a long sigh in unison.
