Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 8: The Strongest Imperial Guard

The door to the Nether Realm beneath Dreamland had already opened.

The succubi stood at the side in fear and wiped their tears, mourning their tragic fate.

What the succubi did not expect was that the Imperial Guard brought by Prince Rayne was the legendary Thea Constance!

In the history of the Haines Empire, typically, the combat strength ranking of the Imperial Guards could be determined simply and crudely by the purity of their bloodlines.

The divinity of the demigod Imperial Guards produced by the Haines Empire was based on the essence of their Main God—Order.

With the same divinity and education, the lineage demigods of the Haines Empire could naturally be ranked based on the purity of their bloodlines.

However, Thea Constance was a complete exception.

Not only was she the only Imperial Guard in the history of the Haines Empire in the past thousand years who was converted from a wild demigod without any blessings, she was now also the Guard of the Capital, a historical position for the strongest Imperial Guard.

Everything made her seem extremely special.

Furthermore, unlike most demigods, Thea Constance did not seem to have any special hobbies and had almost zero interest in money and power.

Ever since she took over, she had been praying in the Church almost all day, living an ordinary life akin to the serene Buddha.

According to the insiders of the capital, Thea Constance's combat strength was clearly weaker than her six sisters due to her bloodline's purity level. However, that saying was not popular among the masses.

Could the weakest Imperial Guard be assigned to the Empress's side and serve as the Shield of the Empire to protect the lifeline of the Haines Empire?

Everyone believed that there must be a huge secret hidden in this Imperial Guard.

This Imperial Guard was probably the strongest trump card hidden in the Haines Empire.

That was also the reason why the existence of Constance was what terrified the succubi even more.

Dreamland had been operating illegally for 30 years.

As the protector of the succubi, the Imperial Guards had already treated the succubi as their own purses and could blackmail them at any moment if they were short of money.

However, Constance had no interest in such things.

All these years, the succubi had never seen this mysterious Shield of the Empire visit Dreamland even once.

But now, she was here.

Initially, the succubi merely thought that the greedy Imperial Guards wanted to join forces with the royal family to snatch away the mortal wealth they had accumulated because Dreamland was about to be liquidated.

But now, Thea Constance's appearance caused an even more terrifying guess to form in the minds of the succubi.

Did Prince Rayne bring Thea Constance with him because... he wanted to kill his way into the Nether Realm and assassinate their Ancient Dragon Princess?!

Of course, it wasn't.

Rayne glanced at the frightened succubi and naturally knew what they were thinking.

However, that was impossible.

Suppressing the gods was a script for the later stages of the battle.

Right now, Rayne merely wanted to make a deal with the Ancient Dragon Princess.

This was a brand new style of fighting chosen by Rayne.

After a thousand rebirths, Rayne had fully realized the limits of his and Constance's strength.

Even though he was familiarized with almost all the information in the world, Rayne could not avoid the outcome of being stabbed in the back.

Therefore, this time round, Rayne decided to use all the resources he had.

That included the six Imperial Guards with whom he had a love-hate relationship for a thousand rebirths.

Rayne had a way of controlling these Imperial Guards and making them loyal to him.

The scale of the planet and the depth of history gave this ancient world almost unlimited possibilities.

Even for these demigods, in their long memories, there were dozens of ways to turn them into loyal dogs under Rayne.

Unfortunately, after analyzing all the strategies, Rayne discovered helplessly that these methods could only be implemented later on or required immense resources and immense risks.

If it was Rayne in the past, he would happily gamble with his life.

But now, he only had a single life left and could no longer gamble.

Rayne could only abandon his dignity and work with his former mortal enemy.

The evil god of the Nether Realm, the Ancient Dragon Princess, the Monarch acknowledged by the two oldest creations in the world—Lady Olivia.

Working with her was Rayne's best option.

.

Through the passage to the Nether Realm beneath Dreamland, Rayne could easily contact Olivia and form a contract with her.

If he could obtain the support of Olivia, Rayne would not only be able to achieve his goal of conquering the Imperial Guards, he would even be able to obtain a god as his backing right away.

That was the true definition of an instant win.

At that moment, Rayne was feeling uneasy.

After all, he had never tried to work with evil gods before.

Similar to how he dealt with the Imperial Guards, Rayne had always been ruthless towards the gods.

The concept of communicating with an evil god peacefully was already extremely foreign to Rayne.

However, he was confident about this negotiation.

After all, apart from her unique status in the world, the Ancient Dragon Princess had another renowned title.

She was the most famous fool in the entire Nether Realm!

At that moment, a voice sounded from the door of the Nether Realm.

"Rayne Haines,"

That voice was from the fiend servant who sent the message on the other side of the Nether Realm's door.

"Her Highness has already agreed to your request."

"Now, you can witness the appearance of the Dragon of Lust as you wish."

The moment he said that, the door to the Nether Realm that was blocked by the pitch-black fog opened up.

Rayne took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself for the impact.

The next moment, a colorful flower garden appeared on the other end of the door.

On the throne made of thorns and flowers, the Ancient Dragon Princess sat on it elegantly and solemnly.

The Olivia before him was just a cute dragon girl with dragon horns and vertical pupils.

However, beyond that petite and beautiful body, a towering figure of a terrifying dragon that could tear the world apart was reflected.

The mountainous pressure almost crushed Rayne.

Even though he had interacted with them countless times, Rayne was still scared out of his wits each time he saw the evil gods and wished that he could gouge out his eyes.

Even Constance frowned at the side. Perhaps out of fear or hostility, the divine blood in her body was almost boiling.

This was a supreme existence that she could not challenge.

That was because this was the ultimate living being that stood at the epitome of the world—an ancient dragon in the form of an evil god.

At this moment, this Nether Realm Monarch on the other side of the door was as emotional as Rayne

After sizing up the two people outside, especially the white-haired demigod girl…

Olivia, the Ancient Dragon Princess, was so touched that she was about to cry.

It was unbelievable, the Dragon Princess could not believe her eyes.

Outside the door was an actual Imperial Guard...

The Rayne Haines this time round was real!
