A Deal with the Demon King

"With your strength, Hero, surely you won't lack women after returning to Earth?"

The Demon King scoffed at Qin Chu's concern for the women around him. In Demon King view, how could beings of their caliber be bound by matters of the heart?

Of course, the Demon King wouldn't be foolish enough to voice his contempt.

The Demon King Nag stared intently at Qin Chu, awaiting his answer.

Time ticked by, each second an agonizing ordeal for Athena, Sylph, and Ekaterina. Even though Little Saya kept saying she didn't care about Qin Chu, her face was now somewhat gloomy.

After a long while, Qin Chu finally raised his head and faced the Demon King Nag directly. "Demon King Majesty, I don't think now is the time to consider this matter."

"Coincidentally, I also have something I'd like to discuss with His Majesty the Demon King."

Demon King Nag was somewhat suspicious. He didn't understand why Qin Chu would change the subject. In his opinion, this suggestion should be very tempting to Qin Chu. His brows furrowed. "What is it?"

"I would like to ask you to join me... in hunting down an Evil God."

Buzz!

Upon hearing this, the Demon King Nag felt his mind go blank for a moment, and his ears were ringing.

For a moment, he even doubted whether he had misheard.

Hunting an Evil God?

Has Qin Chu gone mad?

Chapter Three, 12,000 words in total, is presented here.

Chapter 583 The Deal with the Demon King

Hunt down an Evil God!

When he heard these words from Qin Chu, even the Demon King Nag was somewhat stunned.

It took Demon King Nag several seconds to react, and he looked at Qin Chu as if he were a madman.

That's right, this guy is a complete madman.

He's Demon King, yet the idea of hunting down Evil God has almost never crossed Nag's mind.

Nag would never forget how terrifying the oppressive feeling was when the Evil God descended; even thousands of miles away, it still sent chills down his spine.

Faced with the oppressive power of the Evil God, the Demon King Nag had only one choice: to flee to Earth, a world without supernatural powers. He never intended to confront the Evil God head-on.

Where did Qin Chu get his courage from?

He even felt his heart skip a beat, his eyes fixed intently on Qin Chu, as if trying to see through Qin Chu's eyes to his true thoughts. Was this bastard just trying to fool him, or did he really want to hunt down the Evil God?

He hoped Qin Chu was just putting on an act, but he was disappointed.

In Qin Chu's eyes, the Demon King Nag sensed only unwavering resolve.

That look in his eyes, that will, even made the Demon King Nag feel somewhat ashamed of himself.

He knew he had already lost when facing Qin Chu, even though they were both of equal strength, at the Demigod level, there was an insurmountable gap between Qin Chu on a spiritual level.

This disparity would directly lead to his defeat even if the Dark Witch wasn't around, and none of the other women existed; it would simply be a one-on-one fight between him and Qin Chu, because Qin Chu was a true madman.

A madman is someone who doesn't value his life.

After a long while, the Demon King Nag suddenly took a deep breath. "Hero Excellency, perhaps I am too old, and my hearing is not very good. I just heard you say that you want to hunt down an Evil God?"

"No, your hearing is as excellent as ever. I am simply preparing to hunt down an Evil God." Qin Chu found the Demon King Nag's reaction somewhat amusing.

At this, Demon King Nag could no longer sit still. He even stood up abruptly from his chair, and the voice that came from his throat turned into a low, suppressed roar, "Hunting Evil God? Qin Chu, are you the one who's gone mad, or am I?"

"Don't you know how terrifying the power of those Evil God in the Void is?"

"Of course I know," Qin Chu said leisurely, his face showing little fear. "My friend, please don't panic. Listen to a few questions and you'll understand why I'm doing this."

Demon King Nag was still extremely agitated, as the news was simply too outrageous, and he couldn't calm down. However, with Qin Chu's reassurance, Demon King Nag finally managed to return to his seat. He wanted to know what Qin Chu was relying on.

"First, an Evil God will soon be born."

The moment Qin Chu uttered those first words, the Demon King Nag, who had barely managed to calm down, felt his heart clench uncontrollably. "Is this true?"

"Believe me, I have no reason to lie about this."

"This time could be a day, two days, three days, or even the next second, but I guarantee it won't be too long."

Oh shit.

The Demon King Nag couldn't help but swear.

You Evil God, why don't you stay quietly in the Void? You're just wasting your time wandering around the Main World. Are you just bored and have nothing better to do?

After the Demon King Nag gradually calmed down, Qin Chu gave his second reason. "Your Demon King, think again, after this Evil God descended upon the world, who exactly is he targeting?"

"Is it me, or you? Or is it the Jello within you?"

The Demon King Nag's expression grew increasingly grim.

Six chains had already appeared during the Resurrection Spell, attempting to bind his soul... Whether the descent of the Evil God will be detrimental to Qin Chu remains to be seen, but he is definitely on the list of Evil God.

Thinking about it this way made me feel even worse.

It's all that wretched Jello's fault.

What was I thinking, foolishly accepting Jello's conditions and allowing Jello to live in my body? Now look at me, our souls are highly intertwined, not completely merged, but inseparable, and there's no way to escape.

"Third... Your Demon King, what are the chances of successfully traversing space to reach Earth?"

"Even if Ramon could become a vessel with an exaggeratedly strong physical body, as you wish, what are the chances that he could withstand it during spatial traversal?"

Demon King Nag's lips twitched slightly. Qin Chu had raised another crucial question, one that Demon King Nag had always been unwilling to confront.

Even if Ramon's physical strength increased dramatically after undergoing the modification, that was still... spatial travel.

No one knows just how much pressure they will face; the only certainty is that it will be no easy task, and whether Ramon's body can withstand it depends entirely on luck.

"Nine deaths and one life." In the end, the Demon King Nag gave an answer.

To survive by the skin of one's teeth is perhaps an optimistic assessment.

"That's right... You know it's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Since you're already willing to take that risk, why don't you dare fight the Evil God?"

"In my opinion, facing Evil God is nothing more than a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. If you're not even afraid of death, why can't you use your courage here?"

Qin Chu's words left the Demon King Nag speechless for a moment; he knew the real reason why he had made such a decision.

Fear.

The fear instilled by the Evil God was so overwhelming that even the Demon King Nag would rather choose a path of near-death experience than confront the Evil God directly.

"Moreover, can Ramon's transformation be completed in a single day?"

"Can you guarantee that you have successfully opened the Space Gate when the Evil God descends?"

This is another painful question.

Preparing for the Space Gate was no easy task, and the timing was crucial. Ramon's modifications would not be completed in just a day or two.

If the timing of the Evil God's descent, as Qin Chu described, is not significantly off, then he absolutely could not have opened the Space Gate when the Evil God descended.

"Do you understand?"

You can't escape it.

"No matter how afraid you are of the Evil God in the Void, you have no choice but to face that being; it is your destiny."

The Demon King Nag's face was extremely gloomy.

His fingers were clenched into fists, his knuckles pale and cracking.

He even considered hiding, finding a secluded spot to conceal himself, and reappearing only after the Evil God had left... But Nag also understood that escaping the Evil God's eyes was... no easier than surviving under the Evil God's hand.

In Nag's mind, the Evil God was almost synonymous with omnipotence.

Seeing that Nag's will seemed to be wavering, Qin Chu pressed his advantage.

Although the relationship between the two is far from pleasant, they can still cooperate when they have a common enemy... especially since this enemy can easily kill either of them.

Therefore, Qin Chu had to bind the Demon King Nag to his war chariot.

As for what conflict might occur between the two after the Evil God is killed, that's something to worry about later... It doesn't matter if the Evil God is stabbed in the back immediately after death.

Qin Chu's voice gradually became somewhat seductive. "Think it over carefully, Nag. We have no way to avoid it. Facing the threat of the Evil God is the only path we can choose."

"Instead of living in fear and hiding in the Middle East, why not take the initiative and fight back?"

"You're supposed to be the Demon King! How can a Demon King be such a coward? Is this even a man?"

It's a very simple, even crude, tactic of provocation.

However, in situations of extreme fear, this tactic of provocation can be quite effective.

After all, he is the Demon King, commanding millions of Magic Creature; naturally, he has his own pride...

"Now we have a great opportunity. If we join forces, our chances of winning against the Evil God will be much greater, won't they? If we can't unite against the Evil God, aren't we destined to be devoured one by Evil God?"

"Besides, we have you, me, Little Saya— three Demigod on our side... There's only one Evil God. Together we're one and a half; we might actually win..."

The last joke left the Demon King Nag with a helpless, wry smile. Could it really be calculated like that? So, two Demigod combined equal one god?

While it's not wrong from a mathematical point of view, Nag knows very well that the improvement in realm brings a difference of more than tenfold, which would be difficult even for three Demigod.

However, Qin Chu's words also make sense.

Three Demigod are better than fighting alone, no matter what.

Seeing that Nag's resolve was wavering again, Qin Chu finally dropped a bombshell. "Let me tell you something else..."

"A while ago, an Evil God descended upon you; you should have sensed it, right?"

Nag nodded with a grim expression; he had certainly sensed it.

He could never forget how, under that oppressive force, he lost all his dignity and glory, and how pathetic he was when he scrambled to the God's Head like a lowly stray dog.

Only beneath the gecko God's Head could he catch his breath.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, the Evil God that has descended is called the Lord of Pleasure."

"You confronted Him head-on?" Nag suddenly raised his head, his voice somewhat hoarse.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Qin Chu. If Qin Chu had truly confronted the Lord of Pleasure head-on, how had this guy survived?

Nag didn't believe Qin Chu had that kind of capability. If Qin Chu could really do that, why would he need to seek cooperation with him?

"That's right."

"What was the result?" Nag immediately pressed.

"There are only six Evil God left in the Void."

Hiss!

This answer made Nag gasp. Could it be that Qin Chu really killed a god? How did he do that?

This is impossible...

Qin Chu shrugged helplessly. "Don't doubt it, we really won. The Lord of Pleasure has fallen."

"Of course, I also suffered serious losses."

"Back then, I didn't face the Evil God alone. Besides me, there were many other experts assisting me. Several of them used certain methods to forcibly raise their strength to the Demigod level in a short period of time, which is how we finally defeated the Lord of Pleasure."

"My former comrades are now all seriously injured."

Now Nag finally understood why Qin Chu wanted to cooperate with him.

Qin Chu and Little Saya, two Demigod alone, are no match for the Evil God, but if a few more are added, then there is a certain chance of victory.

"Moreover, there is another reason why I dared to commit god-slaying: the Evil God in the Void are not native gods of the Skyvault Continent... Therefore, when these Evil God descend upon the world, their power will be suppressed and rejected by the world's rules."

"They might even be stripped of their divine authority to some extent, and dethroned from their divine position. The longer we hold out, the more severely the Evil God will be weakened."

So that's how it is.

Nag readily accepted this explanation.

It turns out that the Evil God had lost its divine status and its power had decreased, which is why Qin Chu and his group were able to win. Under normal circumstances, how could Demigod possibly defeat a god?

Nag felt a glimmer of hope.

"Your Demon King, the gods are not invincible."
