Chương 262: Luminas: If I'm going to be one, I'll be the Empress!

"It seems you know a bit about me?"

Luminas was well aware of her aloof and proud personality, which was why she had just tried to use the feminine sexiness that men liked to win Yang Cheng's favor and make the negotiations go more smoothly.

But now, listening to Yang Cheng's words, it seems that he has a certain understanding of his own personality and style.

"Ahem, I have indeed heard some things about you from the Storm Dragon Veldora—"

"That damned bastard! If I ever see him again, I'll tear him to pieces!"

Luminas and the Storm Dragon Veldora did indeed have quite a few grudges in the past.

Or to be more precise, Storm Dragon was probably just someone Luminas vaguely remembered.

Luminas, on the other hand, hated the Storm Dragon Veldora with a passion that bordered on rage!

The Western Holy Church was established by Luminas to protect those threatened by the Storm Dragon.

Furthermore, before Luminas became a goddess in the Western Holy Church, her residence, the Night Rose Palace, was destroyed by the Storm Dragon Veldora.

The other party not only vandalized her palace but also mocked her taste, which led to a feud between the two.

Even Luminas now believes that Yang Cheng is prejudiced against her, and it's possible that Storm Dragon is talking badly about her behind her back!

"Never mind, I'll settle the score with Storm Dragon myself later. I do have other things to say this time."

I wonder if Lord Yang Cheng is aware of the so-called angels.

Since there are demons in this world, there must also be angels.

Moreover, unlike the demon race, which lacks a physical body and can only exist in the spiritual world, the angel race has always lived in the upper realm and relies on the power of human faith to survive.

In human perception, angels are righteous and lawful, but in this world, angels are not like that.

Seeing Yang Cheng remain silent, Luminas couldn't tell whether he didn't know much about angels or was simply unaware of their existence, so she had no choice but to continue speaking.

"Angels are actually the culprits behind the 'war between gods and demons' that breaks out every five hundred years."

Perhaps in the eyes of many humans, angels descending to earth to fight monsters is an act of justice. However, in reality, their motives are not so righteous.

Angels live by relying on human faith, and in order to maintain their rule and order, they periodically destroy technologically advanced civilized cities.

After all, only by remaining ignorant can humans continuously obtain faith.

The Western Holy Church I established worships myself, namely, "the Goddess Luminas. Therefore, once angels descend to earth, the church will inevitably be in an adversarial relationship with them."

Yang Cheng knew something about the "War between Heaven and Demons," but since he watched the anime rather than read the novel, he didn't know much about the later plot.

"Angels descending to earth will be enemies of the church, but what does that have to do with me?"

Do you expect me to help you fight the angels? Although I said before that grudges are settled, we have no connection whatsoever, right?

"You're not my lover, or even my casual sex partner or anything, why should I help you?"

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Luminas gritted her teeth and even considered drawing her sword to strike Yang Cheng again. However, she knew she was no match for the bastard in front of her.

To think that she, the dignified "Goddess Luminas" and the true progenitor of vampires, was merely a sex partner, a tool for lust, in the eyes of this bastard!

Even if she really had to sell her body, with Luminas's looks and temperament, she should at least be the main wife, right?

Of course, although Luminas was furious with Yang Cheng at the moment, she still maintained an elegant demeanor and said, "Does Lord Yang Cheng believe that angels will only target our church when they descend to the mortal realm?"

The "demon" in the war between the heavens and the demons refers to demonic creatures. According to my intelligence, although your Demon Kingdom Federation was established for a very short time, its level of civilization far surpasses that of the surrounding countries.

The angels' goal is to destroy those technologically advanced civilizations. Do you really believe that the Demon Kingdom Federation can escape unscathed?

Yang Cheng had been puzzled before, as there seemed to be quite a few summoners and reincarnators in the world of slimes.

As people from modern society, displaying some modern cultural knowledge can greatly contribute to the civilizational progress of this medieval-themed alternate world.

With so many summoners, this other world left no trace of modern civilization. It seems the angels were the ones cleaning up the mess.

"Even if, as you say, angels are our common enemy, your Western Holy Church and our Demon Kingdom Federation may be the main targets of the angels' attacks."

Even so, we have no reason to cooperate with you, do we?

I'm not entirely sure how powerful angels are, but we have catastrophic storm dragons, primordial demons, and reincarnated beings on our side. Even if a "war between the heavens and demons" breaks out, we're confident we can protect our territory.

Yang Cheng wasn't quite sure how powerful the angels were, but he figured they weren't powerful enough to fight against all the forces on Earth.

Otherwise, the so-called "Ten Demon Kings" would probably have been wiped out by them long ago, and they would have become the sole rulers of order.

The current Demon Kingdom Federation is comparable in strength to the veteran awakened demon kings Veldora and Rimuru, as well as two primordial demons. Benimaru and his group are also quite formidable. It's hard to imagine why Yoshiki would lose the "Heavenly Demon War".

Besides, if they really can't hold on any longer, they can call for reinforcements. Milim and Frey are almost always available. No matter how powerful the angels are, can they really withstand the majority of the monsters in this world?

"If the Demon Kingdom Federation is willing to establish an alliance with our Western Holy Church, I, in my capacity as the Goddess Luminas, can promote the fact that the Demon Kingdom Federation is a friend of humanity."

Your leader Rimuru has always wanted to live in peace with humans and trade with them, right?

And you should understand, right? Just one word from me, the concubine of the goddess Luminas, is more effective than any of your countless efforts.

Luminas was well aware that in negotiations between two countries, the weaker party always had to make some concessions and compromises.

Unfortunately, the Western Holy Church is now the weaker party in this situation.

Luminas had made some preparations for the descent of angels to the mortal realm; the Church's "Ten Saints" were created for this purpose.

But she didn't expect that the unauthorized actions of those fools, the Seven Luminaries Elders, would result in the loss of more than half of the "Ten Great Sages" and even provoke a formidable enemy for her.

And just now, he received a report from Hinata that Roy, one of the Pope's confidants who stayed behind at the church, had his heart crushed and died by unknown infiltrators who had invaded the church.

First, more than half of the "Ten Saints" were killed or wounded, and then her right-hand men were also killed tragically. This made Luminas lose a lot of confidence in resisting the angels who would descend to the mortal realm in the future.
