The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Chapter 324 The War Between the Holy and the Humble (6)

There are now four people in Gray's room, or more precisely, the poet Mayegue.

A demon, an elf, a vampire, a succubus, and then a taciturn demon girl appeared outside the room.

Although it seemed unlikely, Kappa couldn't help but think about it...

Will the boss and Gamma come?

Now that they've arrived, everyone's ready, but Capa doesn't think the two of them have the guts.

Considering Delta's willingness to enter silently, Gray thought it best not to pretend to be asleep, so he lowered his voice and said in a deep voice:

"What's the matter?"

"I'm so sorry to disturb your rest," Sita's voice came into the room; she was always the one with the most respectful tone.

"I have a mission to attend to and will be unable to serve Lord Shadow for the time being..."

I fear I will be unable to fulfill the important task of bearing you an heir in the short term, Lord Shadow. Would tonight be convenient for you?

Gray fell silent.

Sita seems never to have given up on her self-imposed task of bearing a child for the Demon King.

From Sita's perspective, her insistence was not without reason.

The demon race has fallen on hard times and has been forced into hiding in the mountains by humans. It is of utmost urgency to revitalize the demon race.

The Demon King's offspring will inherit the Demon King's bloodline. They may not necessarily become the next Demon King, but they have great potential for growth and can at least become the backbone of the next generation of demons.

Xita prioritizes the revitalization of the demon race, which is why she is so anxious about the issue of offspring.

Compared to Theta, who has been working tirelessly to revitalize the demon race, Gray, the Demon King, has always been neglecting his duties, constantly causing trouble for the Demon Cult while ignoring the development of the demon race.

Why such laziness?

The fact that he was born a demon in this life after a past life makes Gray feel conflicted, but that's not the main reason.

The demon race needs to be revitalized. Becoming the Demon King and obtaining a cheat called "Demon King's Legacy" is not the kind of thing to do. Gray is not like that.

Gray's past life as a human makes it impossible for him to be ruthless towards humans, so he hopes to promote peaceful coexistence between humans and demons while revitalizing the demon race.

At present, the possibility of success seems extremely slim. It is simply unrealistic to think that two races that have been antagonistic for thousands of years or even longer can put aside their hatred and live together in harmony.

This is quite distressing, but the most important issues are others.

Where did the conflict between humans and demons originate?

This is not recorded in human history books or the lineage of demon kings.

There must be a reason for the conflict between the two tribes, which may even lead to a blood feud.

Perhaps because so much time has passed and neither race has paid attention to recording history, the cause of the conflict between humans and demons has been lost to history.

There's no way to find it; it happened hundreds of years ago. It's not even recorded in the Demon King's legacy. Where can we find it now?

But you can probably guess it.

It all started with competition.

Gray realized that humans and demons were very similar races. The only difference in their physical structure was that demons had a pair of demon horns. Otherwise, they were exactly the same as humans. Otherwise, Gray could not have stayed in the human kingdom for more than 20 years without revealing his identity.

Once the demon horns are retracted, who can tell the difference between humans and demons?

Biologically speaking, this is competition caused by niche duplication, which is no different from the competition between cattle and sheep.

But there are still problems.

This world is not just about two overlapping ecological niches: humans and demons. There are also demi-humans, beastmen, and elves.

Elves are too few to be included, and while there are more demi-humans than elves, they are still insignificant compared to the two major races of humans and demons.

Orcs are also a large race.

Why is there no such profound conflict between orcs, humans, and demons?

Then I thought about how the Demon King would inevitably appear and revitalize the demon race, only to be defeated by the hero and humanity would be revitalized in the next cycle.

Gray felt as if an invisible hand was controlling everything.

To resolve the conflict between humans and demons, we must expose this invisible hand!

That being said, Gray had absolutely no clue.

Angels and demons, these special beings, seem to know a lot, but they are difficult to contact. And even if you do manage to contact them, what restrictions prevent them from saying anything?

What is this? A dead end!

No matter how much he worries, it's no use; Gray has no choice but to obediently fight the Demon Order.

The Church of Holy Light and the Hero also need to investigate this thoroughly.

He lacks a breakthrough point.

Let's focus on the present and take it one step at a time.

"Wow!" The pink-haired succubus's heart-shaped pupils lit up.

Such blatant and undisguised remarks...

Kappa: Young lady, I admire you very much.

Three people were crammed under the bed, and the three women all felt a little cramped, but that wasn't the important thing right now.

"Even Theta's here," the blonde, mature vampire exclaimed. "Unexpected, but reasonable."

The white-haired elf girl's mind was filled with only the word "offspring," and her face flushed.

How shameless!

Does the second guy to arrive at the battlefield have the right to say that about those who came later?

Gray was quite helpless.

Normally, he would give in if Beta, Delta, Theta, and Capa launched a night raid, provided that only one of them came at a time.

The bottom line isn't low enough to allow him to engage in threesomes.

Of course, whether there was an element of fear that Kappa, who was already unable to bear it, would bring another person to exploit him... remains unknown.

Recall the scenes where Kappa, Beta, and Delta each entered the room.

The pink-haired succubus walked right in and woke him up.

The white-haired elf girl was quite disobedient; once she was let in, she couldn't be driven out.

The blonde, mature vampire pretended to be asleep, but that didn't work; she was incredibly audacious and dared to barge in directly.

Based on the above experience, it can be judged that his rejection of Sita would most likely be futile.

But at least give it a try...

"I'm a bit tired, let's skip it tonight..."

There's no need to come up with a good reason; Xita will definitely go into the room if he's supposed to. Any other reason won't work.

What Gray didn't expect was...

"Understood, Your Majesty. I apologize for disturbing your rest. Good night."

After saying that, Sita fell silent, and there wasn't even the sound of her footsteps leaving...

Gray was a little puzzled, so he released his mental energy to investigate.

Without Xita's presence, she had truly left. She had left quietly, as if afraid of disturbing him.

Even Gray, with his keen hearing, couldn't hear Theta's footsteps.

"gone?"

Gray suddenly felt a little unreal, and after checking repeatedly, he confirmed that Theta had really gone back.

Um... that's more like it. It's normal to obey orders and go.

It's abnormal that there are three disobedient creatures under the bed.

Once they confirmed that Sita had left, a succubus, an elf, and a vampire immediately crawled out from under the bed.

Actually, Capa was a little disappointed in Sita.

He's bold enough, but too obedient...

Kappa stretched and, seeing Gray staring at the three of them, gave him a flirty wink.

"Lord Shadow Demon, the troublesome fellow is gone. Shall we continue with me?"
