Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

What was shocking was that the scenery of the Nether Realm that appeared before Rayne this time round was not the beautiful Succubus Garden that was filled with birds and flowers.

It was a bloody land made up of skulls!

On a rumbling river of blood, the Blood Empress was bathed in the blood of her enemies. The grisly red blood flowed across her snow-white and smooth skin, creating a scene with shocking contrast.

"The trajectory of Gold Village has shifted."

With her back facing Rayne, the Blood Empress washed away the mortal filth on her body and asked, "Seems like you're not intending to use that thing to deal with me?"

Rayne was shocked.

... Was this the blessing of the Blood Empress?

It turned out that the Blood Empress had opened up a permanent entrance to the Nether Realm in Rayne's eyes just like Olivia.

Not only that, through the door of the Nether Realm, the Blood Empress could observe Rayne 24 hours a day like Olivia.

That was also the reason why the Blood Empress knew that Rayne was the cause of the trajectory shift in Gold Village.

Rayne smiled. "Your Majesty…"

"Oh? You're actually quite polite to me."

The Blood Empress gave a fake smile. "Didn't you just summon a group of evil gods to stuff me back into the Nether Realm no matter what?"

Rayne explained with a bitter smile, "I was still your enemy at that time after all, Your Majesty. However, I did not expect you to bless your enemies so benevolently."

The Blood Empress chuckled. "There's no need for pleasantries. Given your understanding of the Nether Realm, you should understand our tempers."

That was for sure.

The gods of the Nether Realm were the main enemies in the later stages of his battle. In order to defeat these unsolvable tumors of chaos, Rayne had done a lot of research on these gods and naturally knew them very well.

Although Rayne schemed against the Blood Empress, she was not a goddess who bore grudges, let alone be petty enough to take revenge on a mortal.

All evil gods were people who loved entertainment and Justice was no exception.

Compared to actual gains and losses, it was often more important for them to find things interesting.

Evidently, the current Rayne had successfully attracted the Nether Realm Empress's attention.

"To be honest, although you disrupted my plans, you're the first mortal who has let me experience failure ever since this era began."

The Blood Empress revealed a breathtaking smile. "I admire you very much. Why don't you accept even more of my blessings and become my representative in the mortal world?"

Rayne was shocked. "Am I really worthy of such an honor?"

The Blood Empress was displeased. "How dare you! Do you think that defeating the Nether Realm Empress is an insignificant affair?"

"N-No…"

Rayne shook his head repeatedly.

The Blood Empress continued to persuade Rayne.

"The goddess that you guys believe in is the most cruel and heartless god in the world. Did you see the demigod who fought me the other day? Do you think that under normal circumstances, there would be a demigod with a bloodline purity above 90%? She's not a miracle, but a chess piece prepared by Order for her next move—believe me, you will soon lose your value in the eyes of Order. At that time, you will need me."

The fact that the Blood Empress was bothered to make such a painstaking effort...

Rayne could tell that Justice had indeed taken a liking to him.

In reality, in his previous reincarnation cycles, when Rayne led the Haines Empire to fight against the kings of the mortal realm and the gods of the Nether Realm, his overly violent behavior had almost always attracted the gaze of Justice.

In every cycle, as long as Rayne did not die too early, Justice would basically extend gestures of goodwill to him through various channels.

Of course.

Rayne had never been willing to accept the invitations of Justice.

Even if he received the blessing of Justice, Rayne would try his best to get rid of it.

The reason could not be simpler.

Justice was the strongest evil god in the Nether Realm and was Rayne's most lethal enemy apart from Order.

Against such a strong foe, it was already extremely difficult to defeat her and failures were endless.

There was no way Rayne would dare to give her an opening right from the start and give her his soul.

That would be way too stupid.

However, this time round…

Rayne considered the suggestion of Justice seriously.

Finally, he decided to give this goddess who had courted him for a thousand lifetimes a chance.

It was the same for Olivia.

Perhaps in this final cycle… Rayne could reconcile with the Nether Realm Empress as well.

"Your Majesty, I…"

Rayne thought things through. However, just as he was about to say something…

"Hey, wait! Wait, wait, wait!"

At the critical moment, another door to the Nether Realm opened on Rayne's other eye.

The familiar Succubus Garden had appeared.

It was Olivia.

When she saw that her preferred collaborator was about to be poached, the Dragon Princess truly could not sit still.

She glared at Justice. "Rayne Haines is my retainer!"

Righteous smiled indifferently. "You claim that he's yours just because of that pitiful connection between you guys?"

W-Wha—?!

Indeed… the relationship between Rayne and Olivia was a collaboration. In fact, it could not even be considered as faith.

Simply put, the two of them were not very close either.

For a moment, Olivia was speechless. She looked at Rayne and began to persuade him.

"Rayne, you don't have to accept the blessings of Justice. It's enough as long as I'm here to protect you!"

Rayne looked hesitant. "But, princess, I think…"

Olivia was burning with anxiety. She said anxiously, "Didn't we agree that as long as you continue to offer your depravity and lust, I'll give you everything you want? Don't worry! What I can give you will definitely not be inferior to Justice!"

Although Olivia did not have the title of the Nether Realm Empress, she was one of the top experts in the Nether Realm.

Rayne was not disadvantaged at all by joining Olivia.

However, was that truly the case?

When Rayne heard that, he looked even more hesitant and conflicted. "However, Your Highness Olivia… What I want is not to sleep with a few Imperial Guards. What I want is to conquer the mortal world."

"What…"

At that moment, the Blood Empress was shocked. As though she had discovered a rare treasure, her voice trembled in shock.

"You mean to say that you intend to unify the mortal world?"

Rayne was stunned when he heard that, as though he could not understand why the Blood Empress was so surprised.

He nodded seriously. "That's right. However, Her Highness Olivia, doesn't trust my strength. That's why our first deal came with the degeneracy of the seven Imperial Guards."

"It's not that Olivia doesn't trust you. It's just that she doesn't dare to be enemies with Order."

Justice looked at Rayne with a burning gaze.

"To think that a weak mortal like you would have such ambitions. No, I've underestimated you. Although you're weak, you're the future Emperor of the strongest Empire in the mortal world… If you can mobilize the strongest army in the mortal world, you'll be the strongest expert in the mortal world. Your existence will become the greatest chaos in the mortal world!"

Justice said sternly, "Rayne Haines, accept my blessings now. I'll help you spread the flames of war throughout the world!"

Olivia: "!!!"

At that moment…

Olivia felt immense pressure!

Indeed, compared to the lustful Olivia…

As the Goddess of Strife, Justice was clearly more suitable to assist Rayne in conquering the mortal world!

Her gaze quivered and was even a little pitiful. "Hey, Rayne, are you going to agree to her request? Are you really going to abandon the contract between us?!"

Rayne's gaze was conflicted and he was filled with turmoil internally.

"Your Highness... Her Majesty is simply offering way too much..."

"I didn't say that I wouldn't help you conquer the mortal world!"

Olivia begged, "Blessing you and establishing a contract with you… I was the one who came first! Didn't we have an agreement?! I'll definitely help you! However, I merely needed some form of sincerity from you, that's all!"

"No, we didn't agree on it at first!"

Rayne looked aggrieved. "When Your Highness found out about my ambitions, you merely mocked that I'll be nailed to death by the crystal spear of Order..."

Olivia was flustered. "T-That was just a joke!"

On the other side.

The smile on Justice's face intensified.

It was clear.

Compared to Olivia, she was clearly more compatible with Rayne.

"Speaking of which, Rayne Haines, why did you think of establishing a contract with Olivia? Could it be that you were hankering for her power? It's fine, I can satisfy you for something like that as well."

The Blood Empress had released her ultimate move.

"If you like boring things like sex and fornication, I'll give you my projection as a beloved concubine as well. How about that?"

As the Blood Empress spoke, she teased her flawless and stunning body, revealing an extremely rare charming smile.

Olivia slammed her throne of thorns wildly.

"H-Hey!!!"
