The Path of the Demon God was a legendary pathway that only a Demon God could traverse. Under normal circumstances, a Demon King would not be able to make it through unless they were accompanied by a Demon God or Evil God. This was the second time that the Dark Demon God Alice had seen Bella. The last time they met, this rogue Demon King had left a deep impression on her.

“That’s strange, who brought you here? This path... you should not be here at all!”

“I don’t know either! Your Excellency, won’t you help me? I can’t seem to find my way back.”

With suspicion in her eyes, Alice paced around Bella, almost as though she was trying to find the Demon God who had brought her here. She did not actually expect to discover a Demon God. There was a barely discernible dark red shadow on top of Bella’s head that she did not see as she was too far away. This shadow had been floating above her head like an Attached Spirit.

“Claire... it’s you. Did you bring her here, onto the Path of the Demon God?”

“Alice, how did you notice me? What trouble, I thought I could still follow this pretty sister a little while more.”

Bella was taken by surprise. Could all these World Destructor Demon Gods be... why did every single one like to stalk people? Even though Bella was guilty of that as well, she did not consider herself a bad person.

The Quietus Blood Demon God, Augustatus Claire, was ranked fifth within the World Destructor’s Camp and was placed higher than the Dark Demon God Alice. She had crimson hair that was the color of blood. When she revealed herself, Bella was stunned not because of her near-perfect beauty, but the unique way that she carried herself with.

Before she met Claire, Bella had not seen anyone who looked so much like a vampire beauty. She had heterochromia, which meant that one of her irises were blood red while the other was as black as the darkest night. She wore a dark red gown with a deep v-neck that revealed the soft contours of her shoulders and part of her decolletage. On her neck, there was a blood ruby necklace.

There was a pair of fluttering vampire wings on Claire’s back, and many dark red rose petals were floating around her. This special effect seemed to be rather extravagant! The breathtakingly beautiful and elegant vampire princess landed behind Bella.

“Mmm, pretty sister, your scent is so unique! Do... do you date?”

Claire crouched behind Bella and wrapped her hands around her. Then, one of her hands reached over and lightly tugged on her chin. For a moment, Bella was dumbfounded and did not know how to react. Claire’s chest was fully pressed up against her back, and the startling bounciness caused her to feel a little aroused.

A unique scent of blood lingered around the vampire princess. The closer one got to her, the more alluring it got. Through Claire’s heterochromatic eyes, Bella could feel the tranquility of the night, along with flashes of war and slaughter. This look in the Demon God’s eyes was even more captivating.

“Date...”

“No dating; what do you mean by date? You pervert, get your claws off her! She is my personal Demon King. She was mine first, both in meeting and knowing...”

Alice ran up to Bella and grabbed her hand, obviously not having any of this. She was infuriated at Claire’s advances. Back then, when she had wanted Bella to be her minion, that rogue Demon King was adamant in refusing her. Now, she actually agreed to another Demon God’s request without hesitation. How could she change her mind just like that? How unprincipled must she be to have second thoughts just because someone else came along?

Bella finally managed to get a closer look at Alice. The last time they had met, Alice was rather pathetic, but now, she was dressed formally. The pure black gown she put on was in a similar style to Claire’s. The only difference being that she was wearing long dark lace gloves and black stockings that looked like the ones that Bella had worn on Earth in the previous world.

Now that she was nearer, Bella could smell Alice’s perfume. However, her scent was much lighter, something that allowed one to feel mentally calm but not too much that it would knock them out. Her fragrance was the complete opposite of Claire. Thanks to her perfume, Bella managed to snap out of her previous trance.

There were special effects that were surrounding Alice, as well. Bella had seen the black fallen angel feathers that floated around her. However, they were only visible up close due to the darkness of the night. Bella was beginning to suspect if her true identity as a Demon God was fake as she did not have any special effects around her at all. Though there was a possibility that her powers had not fully awakened yet. Besides, Angel and Mia also did not have them.

Bella could not help but admit that the Demon Gods had excellent taste in clothes. The only thing she could not resist was the fact that these two Demon Gods had gone commando, at least for their upper body. The gowns they were wearing revealed their slender shoulders, and no special straps could be noticed. It was clear that they had nothing inside.

Thinking about Angel and Mia, whom she had just met, Bella even suspected that the World Destructor’s Demon Gods and Evil Gods enjoyed going commando, including her Original Identity. However, the only way that Bella could confirm this was to meet more Demon Gods.

“What’s wrong, Alice? She’s your Demon king? No way, the two of you have not proceeded with the Night of Oaths yet! If it had already happened, she would have your scent on her.”

“Well... Claire, you’ve carried a torch for my elder sister Samantha for the longest time! Why the sudden change of heart?”

“Erm... Honorable Demon Gods, please continue with your conversation. I shall take my leave!”

As Bella watched the situation unfold, she wanted to leave as quickly as she could. Even though she could not tell the depth of these two Demon God’s true capabilities, it was clear that they were much more powerful than she was right now. Before her Original Identity regained her strength, there was no way that she would be a match for them.

Claire was obviously the more aggressive one. Based on the expert way that she had flirted with Bella, she was definitely many levels higher than the Black Dragon Princess Clariss. To prevent Claire from “forcing her hand”, Bella chose to leave. She reckoned that if not for Alice, who had been tailing her, there was a possibility that Claire would have “forced” herself on her.

“Hold on a moment! Pretty sister, don’t you wish to experience happiness?”

“Alright, Claire, you can stop chatting her up. There are some things that I wish to speak to her about. Go mind your own business.”

Without warning, Alice and Claire simultaneously grabbed on to Bella’s arms, one Demon God on each side. As both of them were extremely strong, Bella could barely move. It was equivalent to having imprisonment magic cast on her by two Demon Gods at the same time. There was no way that she could break free unless her Original Identity was fully awakened.

“Honorable Demon Kings, what is it about me that attracts you? I’ll change, if that makes you happy!”

“No way...”

“Who’s attracted to you... wait, I simply do not like Claire’s methods, that’s all.”

Bella was now sandwiched between Claire and Alice as they sat on a temporary bench that was now set on the Path of the Demon God. It could be out of spite, but both Demon Gods gave little gifts to Bella.

Alice had given Bella an Underworld Biscuit, which looked like a sandwich cookie from the previous world. Claire, on the other hand, presented Bella a crimson-colored beverage. By the looks of it, both items were handmade by the Demon Gods themselves. The demonic beings that had gathered around them were stunned with disbelief. No Demon King had ever received a personally handmade food item from two Demon Gods at once.

These items were not ordinary food. In fact, they were treasures with unique properties. The biscuit that Alice had given her came with the “Dark Demon God’s Blessing”. After eating it, the individual would gain a massive burst of underworld energy within a short amount of time. Claire’s beverage was the “Blood Demon God’s Love”, which protected the individual who ate it from harm and bloodshed for a minimum of three days.

Prior to this, such treatment had only been enjoyed by Demon Kings, who were appointed as their heir. Somehow, this mysterious Demon King seemed to have some form of strong backing. It must feel like heaven!

“What’s wrong... is my biscuit not delicious? Why are you not eating it?”

“Pretty sister, don’t look so afraid... I did not add anything to your drink this time... I forgot.”

Bella did not dare to consume them at all. She remembered something that Noesha had told her before: these special snacks made by the World Destructor’s Demon Gods were ineffective against Demon Gods. If she had no change after eating those snacks, there was a possibility that her true identity as a Demon God would be revealed.

Based on the information that was gathered, one of them was the younger sister of the Sacred Demon God Samantha, her true identity. The other was her little fangirl, which meant that they were not too dangerous. The only reason why Bella did not want them to know of her identity so soon was that her Original Identity’s strength had not fully recovered yet, and she was still too weak. Since both Demon Gods had the tendency to be more “aggressive”, she was afraid that they would “force” themselves upon her.

This was especially so for Claire, who was known as the Sacred Demon God Samantha’s biggest fan. As a true admirer, it would be challenging for her to resist the temptation of taking advantage of the situation when her idol was vulnerable. Earlier, Claire had slipped out a terrifying sentence, her face in all earnestness. She apparently had a history of drugging and had simply forgotten to put it in this time.

“I shall keep them for another time. Today... I’m not hungry yet. By the way, why would both of you be here?”

Bella’s plan to change the subject worked better than she had anticipated as Alice and Claire moved on and picked up the new topic of conversation. Actually, they had been summoned by another Demon King to the twenty-fifth dimension. Alice was already here but was curious when she saw Bella and decided to make a small detour instead of meeting the Demon King who had summoned her.

Claire had received the same request as well. However, she was tailing Bella and did not answer it immediately. Before this, Bella had gotten some information from the lady boss of the Hell Carriage. The other two Demon Kings had bought large amounts of ancient books on summoning Demon Gods as well as summoning ceremonial arrays. Bella guessed that the one who had summoned Claire and Alice was one of the ex-Twelve Demon Kings from the previous time.

Fortunately, Bella managed to catch up with them, albeit almost being injured by friendly fire. If not for this coincidental encounter, she could have been pummelled at the hands of the Demon Kings on the other side. Since she already knew of Alice and Claire’s intentions, Bella naturally would not allow them to fulfill their plans.

Other things aside, based on the way that these two Demon Gods were dressed, wouldn’t they simply become eye candy for those two male ex-Demon Kings? Bella did not wish for any men to leer at them like that. She began to negotiate with Alice and Claire to see if they could continue this transaction together instead.

“Well, you’re a Demon King too! How could you disrupt your peer’s ceremony? Even though I appreciate this prank of yours, but...”

“Hmm, we indeed don’t have to go. However, this goes against the principles of a Demon God...”

“Anyway, the other party is not a female Demon King. Also, these rules are made by humans! This time, just take it as I was the one who had summoned you instead! Will that be okay?”

Bella quickly followed up with a backhander, believing that Demon Gods could be bought. If she could not even bribe a girl, Bella would have nothing to live for. As Demon Gods, Alice and Claire did not wish for much. However, she had the one thing that they sorely lacked.

“These clothes... what are they used for?”

“Hmm, these clothes and pants are so small. Could they be worn outside at all!?

“That... anyway, these are to be worn under your clothes. I mean, heading outside like this, don’t you feel uncomfortable from all the friction at your chest?”

Of course, Bella’s gift to Claire and Alice was underwear. Other than that, she could not think of anything else that a Demon God would need. Bella might have been the only one who had ever thought of using underwear as a bribe for a Demon God since the beginning of time.

Bella was speechless as she found out that Claire and Alice actually did not know how to use them. If not for the fact that these two Demon Gods were not to be trifled with, Bella would have wanted to give them a tutorial on wearing them. Back then, she was the one who personally gave Demon God Angel and Evil God Mia their first taste of wearing underwear.

Alice and Claire were not of the loli body type and had more voluptuous figures. If she were to help them try the underwear on personally, it would definitely be more thrilling than her previous experience with the two Lolis, Angel and Mia.

With Bella whispering instructions in their ears, Alice and Claire finally understood how to use these few sets of ultrathin clothing. Bella inadvertently saw a flash of red appear on the two Demon God’s beautiful faces.

Alice and Claire accepted Bella’s gifts as a gesture to agree to her request that they would not continue with that summoning ceremony. As for the old Demon Kings, they would simply have to appease them with some excuse to declare that the transaction had failed. Bella was slightly disappointed since she had been looking forward to seeing them change in front of her!

For some unknown reason, Alice and Claire had given Bella two Books of the Demon God—the “Oath of River Styx” and “Red Promise”, respectively. These books were technically magical props that would allow direct contact with a Demon God. Anyone who owned those books could write a message in them using a special black quill, and the Demon God, on the other end, would be able to see what they wrote.

This worked both ways. Anything that the Demon Gods put down could also be sent to the owner of the books using the same methods. Using the Book of the Demon God as a medium, the associated Demon God would be able to appear beside the book’s owner instantly. Only the Demon Gods or Evil Gods, who were ranked among the top five, had the privilege to own such props that were a combination of summoning tools and a form of communication.

Bella’s status instantly shot through the roof when she became the new owner of two Books of the Demon God. In the future, she would not have to worry about “accidentally” entering the Demon God’s path. With these two books, it was the equivalent of announcing to the world that she was under the care of two high-level Demon Gods. If anyone had the guts to hurt or attack her, it would mean that they were going up against the Dark Demon God and the Blood Demon God.

Under Alice’s instruction, Bella learned that there was a different summoner at the end of each of these little diverging paths. She also found out something important: there were three paths with requests to summon a Demon God. Other than the two ex-Demon Kings, it looked like there was an additional person who was summoning a Demon God.

The last person did not have much power. The amount of energy put in could only summon an entity up to a Demon King. There was a chance that it was a tragedy waiting to happen as it would not take long before other demonic beings would begin to move along this path. Since it led to the twenty-fifth dimension, Bella quickly bade the two Demon Gods goodbye and sped towards the path’s final location. She was afraid that the Dark Princesses Elsa and Erica had failed in their attempt to summon her and would end up summoning random demonic beings instead.

Even though they were technically on the opposing sides, Bella did not consider beauties to be enemies at all. In her eyes, there were only two types of girls—those whom she could have same-sex relations with and those she could not. The summoning array that she had given to Elsa and Erica was her own. Now that they had met with some problems, Bella had an obligation to attempt to fix them.

“Claire, are you the one who brought her onto the Path of the Demon God?”

“It wasn’t me! I thought you were the one? Could there have been a third Demon God then? Alice, aren’t we the only ones who were available to come onto the Path of the Demon God at this time?”

After Bella left, Alice and Claire remained there, staring at each other in confusion. It was only at this moment did they realize that there was a problem they had been ignoring: the question of which Demon God or Evil God had brought Bella here. Since neither of them had interfered, they were beginning to doubt Bella’s eligibility to enter the Path.

Unfortunately, Bella had already left. Taking the Demon Gods’ reputation into consideration, it would not do for Alice and Claire to make the first move to seek out answers from the Demon King. Since the ancient times, only Demon Kings would proactively summon a Demon God using offerings, and not the other way around.

This meeting at the Path of the Demon God was technically a coincidence and would not affect their value. Thanks to these rules, Bella managed to get away before her identity was fully exposed. For now, Alice and Claire would not seek her out. Even if they had questions, they would have to wait until Bella summoned them.

There was something else that Claire did not tell Alice. She had smelt a vaguely familiar scent on Bella. As the Sacred Demon God Samantha’s biggest fangirl and a true fan, there was no way that she would not be able to recognize her idol. If not for the disruption that Alice had caused, given enough time, Claire would be the first one amongst the World Destructors’ Top Ten Demon Gods to find out the existence of Bella’s Original Identity.

At the end of the Path of the Demon God, on the opposite bank of the Beastmen continent’s Sacred River, there were three individuals who had summoned a Demon God. Without any doubt, two of them were part of the ex-Twelve Demon Kings as Bella could feel their aura from miles away. She would not do something like taking on two Demon Kings on her own and decided to give up the opportunity and turned towards the third exit. That summoning door was already open, and demonic beings had slipped through it before Bella could make it out.
