The Strongest Conquest System

.....

Even the leaders of the Demon Nations were fretting over the news regarding a new change of leadership!

But at the same time, they were also anticipating the changes that would follow this unexpected change in who lorded over them

If they played their cards right, then they might be able to come out of this situation with a more favorable outcome than what they were looking at previously.

Although they had faith that the Great Leviathan would keep them under his wing, they knew of the mythical beast's flippant personality.

And all it would take was one bad day for the Great Leviathan to decide that it no longer wanted to watch over the demon race...

If that ever happened, then a large section of the Flamecrest Empire, along with some of the surrounding areas, would be razed to the ground!

But now

There was a chance!

A chance to change their fates! To change their destiny's!

All they had to do was reach out and grasp this chance that was presented to them!

And they knew just the way

All of the Mahayana Realm Experts of the demon race honed their gazes on the voluptuous and well-endowed figure of one of their demon princesses.

-----

Princess Aya of the Demon God Empire.

She was a divinely beautiful woman with long white hair that was braided in some areas; her eyes were like sparkling rubies and dazzled in the sun with their crimson glows.

Her body was one that resembled the most sensual of succubi, and for good reason, considering that she descended from vampire and succubus parents.

And it was because of her lineage that she was able to acquire not only the flight and hypnotic abilities of her father but also the heart-shaped tail and seduction-based abilities of her mother.

It was through these abilities and her high affinity for them that she was able to climb up the rankings among her siblings to determine who was most worthy of the throne.

[Cultivation Realm: Seventh Cataclysm Tribulation Transcendence]

[Age: 6,500]

Now, this same Aya sat in the VIP stands with an intrigued gleam in her eyes.

Intrigued not because of the man who just made himself the secret ruler of Asterion but because of the decrepit man down on the fighting rings.

She intently watched this man converse with a bunch of women with a small smile plastered on her face.

Aya didn't know what it was that made her feel a sense of familiarity with this unknown man, but something was telling her that they were the same.

And she wanted to figure out what that something was

However, it seemed like her elders and relatives had other plans in mind for who she was allowed to be around

"Listen, Aya. Why don't we have a discussion about marriage?" One of the brothers of the Demonic Emperor spoke while rubbing his hands together.

"Yes, my dear niece. Think of the betterment of the Demonic Empire as a whole! You must consider marriage at some point, and why not that point be right now!?" Another brother of the Demonic Emperor buttered up to Aya with a hint of avarice in his gaze.

And it didn't take long before the other 'family members' and 'friends' of hers chimed in with their own self-beneficial opinions.

"..." Aya listened to all the people she knew trying to egg her into marrying the old white-haired man as one of his concubines.

After hearing what everyone had to say, her expression turned awfully doleful, as she knew that there was no way she would be able to get out of this one.

If only my father were here Then I would be able to choose who I wanted to be my partner for eternity

Aya's thoughts traced back to her domineering yet kind father, who, along with her mother, were once integral parts of her life.

That was until the day that they left for the Starry Seaboard, and subsequently, the Starry Expanse

Like a certain catkin girl, Aya was abandoned

The only difference being that she was left alone in her cruel family for thousands of years instead of just one.

But after such a long period of time, she ultimately got used to disappointment. And it was because of this adaptation of hers that she let out a melancholic sigh before lightly nodding, "Very well"

That was all she said before her attention was brought back to the cheerful atmosphere that surrounded the corpse-like man outside the fighting ring.

If only I had something like that Something that made me feel Feel anything

Aya's mood became a little glum, as she was going to continue spiraling; however, she was quickly taken out of her thoughts by the voices of her 'family'.

"I knew you would understand our perspective, my dear niece! I will attempt to get in contact with the new ruler right away! And from what I've heard from our Demon Overseer, the winner of this tournament is actually the disciple of the new ruler!"

One of her uncles spoke to Aya with a 'benevolent' look on his face, as he had indeed heard from his senior that the new ruler sent the Half-Step Lunar Ascendancy Realm Experts a voice transmission.

The transmission only mentioned something about keeping out of the way of 'Morningstar', not to spy on him, and also not to attract too much attention to him.

Which all went to say that the Demon Emperor's brothers would need to be discreet in their contact with this 'Morningstar' character.

Nonetheless, they were overjoyed that their 'snobby' niece had finally decided to do something for the greater good of the family!

In other words, for the greater good of them!

Observing the greedy expressions her family members were making, Aya turned her gaze away from them, focusing on the sickly man below.

She wanted to decipher just what it was that made that man's life seem so much more colorful

Meanwhile, on another side of the wide and expansive VIP stands, the AquaRing family was suddenly greeted by their Queen Mother.

"Hello, mother" Marina muttered with a slightly shaky voice.
