Silence immediately spread among everyone.
All those who heard Aiyi's declaration were stunned by her words.
No one had expected that, one day, a Demon would step forward and openly declare that she would protect a human.
She was a Demon, the pinnacle of demonkind, a being of immense power whom even the Three Great Goddesses did not dare underestimate.
By relying solely on their own strength, they could contend against the power of an entire nation.

In Aiyi's view, there was no such thing as authority or noble status in this world. There was only the difference between strength and weakness.
If you were strong enough, you could do whatever you pleased. All authority and nobility
