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

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the Goddess of Holy Light's heterochromatic eyes.

With a simple pull or push, He can easily send people in and out of [the heavenly realm].

Although it was just a simple wave, anyone who could withstand it and not be instantly ejected from the [Heavenly Realm] was worthy of His attention.

This Demon King is quite interesting.

Even though its body was about to explode, it still stubbornly resisted.

He had already spared Grey Brant's life for attempting to kill the angel; any resistance now would undoubtedly be suicidal.

"interesting."

The Goddess of Holy Light snorted coldly and continued to release repulsive force.

"I'd like to see how long you can hold out!"

At the same time, with the sudden increase in force, the pain of Gray's body cracking apart had intensified from a stinging sensation to a feeling that his body was gradually breaking into pieces.

That would be absolutely impossible for them to survive. No matter how excellent their own regenerative abilities are, this level of damage would be fatal even for a vampire with the most powerful regenerative abilities.

They will die. If they continue to resist, they will definitely die. It will be a far more horrific death than being torn apart by five horses. No one wants to die such a tragic death.

Gray knew this perfectly well, and he knew even more that as long as he withdrew his magic and gave up resisting the repulsive force, the cracking of his body would stop, and he could then leave the [Celestial Realm] by following the repulsive force, pass through the spatial surge, and return to the secret realm.

Not long afterward, his body will return to normal, and he will be able to live a carefree life again.

Even though he knew it in his heart, Gray had no intention of backing down here.

One reason is that he finally met "Her" and didn't want to compromise in front of this goddess who was suspected of being the mastermind behind everything.

Then comes the most important reason: he couldn't just sit idly by and watch Bai Lin be left behind like this!

He and Bai Lin have only known each other for a few months.

But she is the "666th" servant of the Shadow Court, a subordinate and an important companion.

Gray is always friendly and protective of his own people. Even if he has never met a waitress who is being bullied, he will stand up for her.

He treated all his own people this way, and even more so with Bai Lin, with whom he harbored feelings he was unwilling to admit.

She is a girl who was transformed from a white dragon.

She would transform into a maid outfit to beg for mercy, and would proudly say, "So, they all died, and I survived." As a proud dragon, she felt no shame at all. She would throw herself into his arms and offer herself up for free. She would neglect the important matter of stabilizing her realm in order to practice transformation techniques so that she could walk alongside him as soon as possible. She would be thinking about doing strange things with him. She would sneak up at night and cling to him in thin clothes. She would worry about the unreasonable "Demon King and Hero" ironclad rule.

Gray could not deny his feelings for the white dragon girl. He had already made a promise. She had fulfilled the requirement of stabilizing to a true tenth-order life form. Yet he had to leave Bai Lin behind and break his promise because of the absurd rule that "the prime plane does not allow tenth-order beings" and because of the overwhelming difference in strength between the Holy Light Goddess in front of him.

He, Gray Brandt, couldn't do something like that!

Even if it's just a futile struggle, they won't let him utter a single scratch until he's completely dead!

With this belief in mind, Gray will not back down even once, until he dies!

My body was burning with pain, and the pain was getting worse. My vision was starting to go black, and scenes of my past and present lives flashed before my eyes.

It is said that people see a revolving lantern before they die. Gray is familiar with this feeling; he felt the same way before he died in his previous life. Only this time, the revolving lantern is longer, since he has both a past life and a present life, so he has more memories, and the memories of the other world are also richer...

Death has come again, this is the second time.

It hurts so much! Why can't I get rid of the pain when I'm dying? It would be a little more comfortable that way...

While in pain, a soft, fragrant touch and a loud wail suddenly came from behind Gray, taking over his consciousness. His attention shifted, and the pain of his body splitting open gradually faded.

It's truly comforting to receive such solace from Bai Lin at this time.

"Don't do this... I'm willing to stay here..."

Her cries seemed to be forced out from deep within her chest, hoarse and choked, as if something was stuck in her throat, each sob accompanied by a trembling inhale.

Gray felt a pang of heartache again; he admitted that he was completely helpless against the girl's cries.

But he could not back down.

Bai Lin said he was willing to stay in this so-called "Heavenly Realm," but it wasn't really his own choice. He was clearly saying it because the Goddess of Holy Light was oppressed and didn't want to see him explode and die. She hoped he would give up and survive.

There's already a way out, that's great, let's just give up like this?

He didn't have to die; it was Bai Lin who made him give up resisting.

There's no resentment or concern about saving face.

You could escape, just leave the white scales behind, return to the secret realm, and live out your days in peace and comfort, living as long as you can without ever thinking about fighting against any heroes, angels, demons, or goddesses. How easy would that be?

Am I afraid? Am I backing down?

A horrific death, forced to accept reality and become a coward due to the overwhelming power of the Goddess of Light, which he could not resist?

Am I... too cowardly?

It's not like we've never died before, what's there to be afraid of?

What is there to fear if we are surrounded by the enemy? We only face death.

Is death a terrible thing?

For him, the thing that is more terrible is to back down because of his inability to do anything!

Grey Brant is a very stubborn person, a person who sticks to his principles. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the Ten Shadow Attendants suffer so much by adhering to the pure love concept of "one love for one lifetime" even after arriving in another world.

Bai Lin's advice was useless; it only strengthened Gray's resolve!

"Why...why...I already said that's enough...enough...you're really going to die!"

The heart-wrenching cries of Bai Lin reached my ears.

She realized she was doing it wrong, and the more she did that, the more determined Gray became.

She knew exactly what kind of person Grey Brandt was, and her actions had backfired.

But she didn't want to see Grey die here for her sake, she didn't want to see her lover turned into pieces of flesh and blood!

She had to find a different approach to persuade Gray to let go.

"Don't die!" she cried.

"What if you die here? I will still remain in [the Celestial Realm]. What's the point of your death?"

"Stop resisting, go back...go back and regroup, and promise me you'll come back to save me...we'll have the grandest wedding in the prime plane!"

"Please... go back first... I believe you can do it..."

“Grey…Grey Brant…You can do it…”

"You can definitely break through all this absurdity!"
