Father

"This is such an unexpected way to do things, it's interesting, so interesting!"

Lucifer raised his glass and pointed it in Kino's direction.

"Homage to the Demon King."

Mazikeen watched all this in astonishment, displaying what he possessed to ignite human greed and entice everyone to seize even more wealth.

Mephisto also produced a contract and examined it closely.

The text above states that Kino led humanity to complete these plans, in exchange for obedience from those who signed the contract, and that their souls would belong to him after death.

The contents are all true, but Kino didn't specify an expiration date.

At the very least, Mephisto himself has dozens of ways to freeload off all of humanity.

It's not that nobody noticed this.

But greed blinded them.

I regret it so much!

If you had just obediently followed him, you would be living a life of luxury long ago, instead of being a slave here.

"Little Mo, make another Dream Journey. I'm in a good mood today, have a few more drinks."

Lucifer's languid voice rang out.

"Yes, Master."

Mephisto skillfully began mixing the drinks.

Several days later.

On an island, vibrant flowers bloom in abundance.

Today is Tony and Pepper's wedding day. They didn't invite many people, just some friends and acquaintances, and not even the media.

The wedding was held outdoors.

The walkway was lined with flowers.

"Are you crazy?! I'm the Demon King, not a priest."

Kino stared at Tony speechlessly.

"Who do you think is responsible for making the profession of priest a thing of the past?"

Tony was also helpless.

Even if you find someone else to impersonate him, no one would dare.

Even if Kino allows it, Kino's followers will find out.

He's a priest by day, and by night he'll be ashes.

That's right, a new church has emerged on Earth, the Demon King Cult, with followers all over the world.

They believed that the Demon King appeared from hell to punish evildoers, and that as long as one believed in the Demon King, one would not go to hell after death.

"But I have no experience either."

"It's alright, I'm all prepared. I'll just read the lines."

Tony took out a slip of paper and handed it over.

"All right."

Kino had no choice but to accept it.

Just then, a rainbow descended from the sky.

Everyone glanced at it and then looked away.

Hela and Thor appeared at the scene, pulling a cart behind them.

Thor was somewhat awkward and gave a slight bow.

"Thor Odinson pays his respects to His Majesty the God King."

"Hmm, why did you guys come down?"

Kino nodded and asked.

I can understand Hela, but what about Thor?

"I've come to see Loki, Your Majesty the God King."

"That's what Thor replied."

"Loki, I released him a long time ago. It'll be difficult for you to find him now."

Loki remained quiet this time, didn't cause any trouble, and simply released him.

With his illusion magic, there are very few people in the world who can find him.

"It's okay, I can take my time looking. And this is our gift."

Thor pulled back the cloth covering the cart.

Displayed on it were gleaming weapons and exquisitely crafted armor.

Tony's eyes twitched; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was there to kill someone.

"Welcome! This way, please. Would you like something to drink?"

Do you have any beer?

"Certainly..."

As the two walked further and further apart, Kino looked at Hela, who had remained silent, and made a joke.

"What's wrong? You can't speak Earth language after going back to your parents' house?"

"Nothing."

Hela uttered a sentence, then casually found a chair to sit down, with a small black dog lying lazily yawning at her feet.

Thinking back to the scene of challenging Odin again.

They've become stronger, and they don't even have the power to resist.

I know you hate me, but you can't beat me.

Your only chance is to become one of his Princess Consort.

Hela silently clenched her fists.

The atmosphere around them was heavy and oppressive; anyone who tried to strike up a conversation would shiver and immediately move away.

Hela.

A voice startled Hela.

I sensed this unfamiliar divine power.

Looking up at the sky, Xiaoyu flew over with the three little ones and the newly joined Morgan Stark.

Fenrir, standing at his feet, bared its teeth and was about to bite the god who had offended his master to death when it was struck on the head.

"Hela, you've grown so big now."

Xiaoyu landed in front of Hela.

"Teacher, it's been a long time."

Damian said politely.

"Hela, you're alright. You got really badly beaten last time, but Uncle Kino said you're okay."

Nina was concerned.

"Yeah, she got beaten up like a ball, but she's still okay. Hela is amazing."

Penny continued.

"Hela is amazing, hehe."

Although Morgan didn't know Hela, he still praised her along with his friends.

The naive words of the group made Hela's face darken.

They pinched Nina and Penny's little faces with their fingers.

"I haven't even settled accounts with you guys yet, and you've already come here to mock me. You've got some nerve."

"No, no, I was just concerned about you."

"Hela, let go! It hurts!"

Morgan shrank back in fear and covered her face.

"Hela, is this dog yours?"

Xiaoyu looked at the Fenrir on the ground.

"Yes, it's Fenrir."

Hela released her grip.

"Fenrir! I want to touch it."

"But why is it so small? It's huge in mythology."

Penny and Nina immediately gathered around, their little hands ruffling Fenrir's fur.

Because Hela had warned me.

Fenrir could only obediently lie on the ground and behave itself.

"What's with the divine power you possess?"

Hela asked.

"Hmph, I, the Goddess Maya Chen Xiaoyu, am a deity just like you. Aren't you surprised? Unexpected?"

Xiaoyu smugly hummed.

"Goddess Maya? A pantheon that was wiped out."

Hela thought for a moment and then said...

"That's right, they were wiped out... No, I'm still alive."

"Half-dead, unable to use divine power, and lacking a divine body, he's at most a demigod."

"That's God too."

"Uh-huh."

Don't try to fool me.

Xiaoyu stomped her foot in frustration.

Under the warm sunlight, a romantic Western-style wedding is underway.

The interior of the church was decorated with a particularly warm and inviting atmosphere, with pure white lilies blooming on both sides of the aisle, filling the air with their rich fragrance.

The guests, dressed in their finest attire, sat on wooden benches, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newlyweds.

Accompanied by the solemn and soothing Wedding March, Pepper, arm in arm with her father, slowly walked down the flower-strewn aisle.

She wore a floor-length white wedding dress, looking like a princess from a fairy tale, her veil flowing gracefully, her eyes fixed on Tony.

Tony stared blankly.

Pepper's father gave him a few words of advice, then handed his hand to Tony and stepped aside.

Along the aisles on both sides, guests sat on wooden chairs, their gazes towards the couple filled with blessings, joy, and anticipation.

Tony led Pepper to the priest.

The priest, dressed in his robes, looked at the Bible in his hand and his lips twitched. He wondered if Lucifer would kill him.

Tony and Pepper looked at him expectantly.
