After the door was closed, Cersei stood up directly from her seat.
"Sister?"
Josiah hadn't figured out his elder sister's purpose of leaving him alone, so Josiah called out tentatively.
But Cersei did not respond. She slowly walked in front of Josiah.
An inexplicable sense of danger spread in Josiah's heart. Before Josiah could speak again, Cersei suddenly stretched out her hand and gently touched Josiah's cheek.
The temperature of Cersei's fingertips was a little cold. Although Josiah did not push Cersei away, he had quietly prepared to resist.
Josiah could see his face reflected in Cersei's crimson pupils, and her expression looked very uncomfortable.
A very subtle magic power gradually penetrated into Josiah's body through Cersei's fingertips.
This magic power was harmless, and Josiah did not feel any discomfort.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Josiah held Cersei's arm uncomfortably and asked.
"Checking your body."
Cersei released her hand covering Josiah and took a few steps back.
"Did the Venerated Skeleton do anything excessive to you?" Cersei's gaze fell on Josiah's palm.
Cersei knew a long time ago that the Venerated Skeleton and Josiah had signed a contract.
After this contract was signed, Josiah went to the human world, so Cersei was guessing that what Josiah did in the human world might have something to do with the Venerated Skeleton.
"The content of this contract is that the Venerated Skeleton has entrusted half of its soul to me," said Josiah.
"Soul? Josiah … do you remember what happened when you first did an alchemy experiment when you were a child? "Cersei asked suddenly.
"Ugh, you are asking about the experiment that almost blew up the altar? I was locked up by my father for seven days. If not for Big Sister secretly sending me food, I would have … starved to death. "
Josiah had already guessed why Cersei would ask him this question.
"Am I worrying too much?" Cersei muttered to herself in an almost indiscernible voice, and a smile finally appeared on her taut face.
"You did it, Josiah … To let a human country accept us, this is something that I wanted to do but could not do."
"It's actually not that difficult." Josiah said.
"It's not difficult …"
Josiah's humble words made Cecily's heart feel very complicated.
Ever since Cersei took control of the Demon World's overseer, she had been trying to find a way to contact humans, but no matter what it was, it all ended in failure.
In the end, humans could not believe in the Devil Race, not to mention that the citizens of the entire country acknowledged the existence of the Devil Race.
She sent the Prophet to Noland, and the Prophet told Cersei everything about Noland.
Only then did she realize that she had been wrong from the beginning, and it was a huge mistake.
And her brother, who she thought needed her protection, did far better than her.
This caused Cersei to feel a sense of shame in her heart.
"Josiah, perhaps you are more suitable to be the ruler of the Devil World."
Cersei's expression did not change, but she said this news that was enough to shock the "nobles" of the Devil World.
"What you have done for the Devil World proves that you have the right."
"I don't have that kind of talent, Big Sister. I have already given up. Are you going to give up like me?" Josiah asked.
"I am also not suitable to be a father." Cersei slowly walked to the window. Through the window, she could see the streets of the city. "Everything I have done after becoming the overseer is to make the Devil World as prosperous as the human cities. Nogus's ideas are too radical. If he becomes the ruler, this city will be dragged down by the war, so I will not give up."
"Then there is no problem. I am happy to push you into that position behind your back," Josiah said.
… …
"Lord Zenas! Can you really allow those humans to do whatever they want in our territory? "
General Voss tore off the restrictive human clothes he was wearing in anger. Flames of anger were already spewing out of his mouth.
"Those cunning humans should fear us! They should not allow them to step into our sacred land! "General Voss said.
Zenas ignored the questions of his people. The interface of the magic net occupied his sight.
He was not chatting with anyone. Instead, he was reading the speech Josiah had sent him.
This was not the first time Zenas had read lines along with a script. It took him more than a minute to finish reading Josiah's script.
"I want to return to the Abyss of Sin and inform my people of the humans' arrival in the Devil World."
A dark green portal appeared in front of Zenas. This was the portal to the birthplace of the Sin Demons.
General Voss followed Zenas into the Teleportation Gate. Through the Teleportation Gate, they arrived at a canyon with flashing auroras in the sky.
There was a small town on both sides of the canyon. On the streets of the town, there were a few underage Sin Demons.
"Lord Zenas."
The young Sin Demons quickly discovered the portal that Zenas had built. They immediately stopped what they were doing and ran in front of Zenas.
Due to their young age, they were unable to control the flames that they spat out from their mouths. Some of the young sinful demons would even spit out a few small flames when they spoke.
"Let Elder Monas and the others gather our people," Zenas said as he touched the forehead of one of the Sin Demons.
The young Sin Demon obediently ran into the depths of the town. Ten minutes later, over a thousand Sin Demons living in the town had gathered in front of Zenas.
Although all Sin Demons were born in the Abyss of Sin, it took a long time for the Abyss to give birth to a new Sin Demon. Moreover, the Sin Demons that were born could be young or adults.
Most of the karmic demons living in the town were immature children, and only a small number of adults lived there.
"Does His Majesty Nottingham have any orders to give?"
A short sinful demon walked out of the group. He was the only Elder of this group and one of the oldest sinful demons.
"His Majesty Nottingham did not give any orders. I'm here to inform everyone that a group of humans has come to the Realm of Devils," Zenas said.
"Humans?"
"The border fortress has been breached?!"
The young karmic demons covered their ears in fear.
Sinful demons were trained as warriors from the moment they were born, and one of the few things they learned was that humans were dangerous beings.
"The border fortress hasn't been breached. It was I who brought those humans to the Realm of Devils."
Zenas' words silenced all the Sin Demons, including General Voss, who was waiting for Zenas to summon his people to drive the humans out.
The silence made Zenas momentarily speechless. He opened the Weave and stole a glance at the script Josiah gave him before continuing.
"I brought those humans back because they are the worshippers of the Karmic Demons," Zenas said to his clansmen in a loud voice.
"Worshippers?"
The Sin Demons who had never seen a human before couldn't understand the meaning of Zenas' words. Their faces were filled with doubt.
The prince's script … doesn't seem to be very useful.
However, Zenas recalled what had happened to him in Norland, and he was certain that this speech was not a lie.
"I met many worshippers of the Sin Demons in the human world! Especially the female humans. They think it's a sacred thing to touch our hands and hair … "
Under General Voss' dumbfounded expression, Zenas told the Sin Demons about his encounter in the human world.
Including being surrounded by a group of screaming female humans. Many humans paid a huge price just to see him.
"Humans also offered me a large number of tributes, many of which came from the sea."
Many of the karmic demons below let out gasps of surprise after hearing this.
The only place in the Realm of Devils that could be called the sea was the territory of the Water Elemental Lord. Not everyone could enter that place.
Therefore, it was an extremely extravagant thing for the Sin Demons to eat from the sea.
This was similar to how the Sin Demons worshipped the ruler of the Realm of Devils, Nottingham, and viewed him as a god.
The evil demons, who had never seen the world, had long believed it. Even General Voss, who had seen the world, was shaken.
